Aradia and Droog human stabdad stuff for wachtelspinat, who’s a really sweet, amazing artist SO YEAH HAHAHHA
OHMIGOD why would you do that i’m not worth it i_i
this is just perfect in every way, their expressions, dat style ahhwwww man thank you <3
asdfghjkl i would love to make a serious comment about my feelings for this later because all i can do right now is stare at it with undescribable joy but i’m afraid i’ll be stuck in that condition again :“”“I
I’m pissed off at college and programs not working and everything in general so I drew this. Arttrade Snowman/Slick thingie for Shalalalala ,hope ye like. Will probably delete it later because this is a decent happy fluff blog.
can’t come up with something that’s just vaguely equal with this
Okay that bull penis cane really needs to get bumped down from the top of the page. This is embarrassingly silly. Have some Aradia and dad I once tried doodling for ren-ne-rei and wachtelspinat. One day I will make it proper.
Stabdads are awesome and you will like them too.
my heart. exploded. i love those two, like you have no idea Q_Q and this makes me dance with joy
this looked way cooler in my mind… plus i love the lines, but the rest is bullshit, which is pretty bad because the lines are kind of pointless without the rest… dilemma.
this picture is gorgeous and i want to lay that out there right away but when i first commented/when i very first saw it it made me really, really sad and i said as much and now i’m going to EXPLAIN WHY because i have been drinking so everyone is now privy to my feelings
because in the course of a couple weeks i have become super duper attached to the stabdads and i’ve sort of … established a headcanon … and in said headcanon aradia is def. not dead
so this picture she OBVIOUSLY HAS DIED at some point
and i got really, really sad because my only thought was “omg that would totally destroy droog D:”
and is started to think of fanfic where aradia gets killed and droog is like … wearing yesterday’s clothes because he is literally that tore up and slick tries really hard to be a halfway decent moirail and then droog starts talking about aradia’s ghost and everyone else is like “omg he’s crazy now” and you know, eventually there’s a happy robotic ending sort of but IT WAS REALLY DEPRESSING IN MY BRAIN FOR A MINUTE BECAUSE DROOG
so to distract myself i had to think of a way to make aradia’s “death” from canon a semi-thing in the stabdads headcanon (i’m trying to work in all the ways hussie has mauled/murdered everybody but i’m not really following exactly) without killing her or ruining droog with grief and I THINK I WORKED IT OUT SO I FEEL BETTER NOW
i probably will never write it but now i feel much better and this picture doesn’t really make me sad anymore but it still does a little because there is a part of me that’s like SAD DROOG :[
SORRY I RAMBLED but basically tl;dr here is a really pretty picture and it made me have feelings.
OKAY i’m going to try to explain something about this but i’m not sure if i can do so this early in the morning (11:42am, ha.) first of all i’m sorry that it makes you sad :c because i know you have all those headcanons for the stabdads in your mind but it was kind of meant to be depressing because when i drew it i was in a pretty bad mood myself so this is the origin for all the dramatic fanart. and i have tons of images in my head why it has come so far and droog’s reaction and his little trip to kidnap equius forcing the poor kid to bring his stabdaughter back and so on… but i have neither the time to draw all that nor the skills to write it down in a proper manner : ( … oh god why do i have to think of A.I. now…
ANYWAY tl;dr dramatic events in headcanons of fanversions of characters of afslakfja sorry again that it made you so sad, don’t let that influence your idea of them, you fictions are one of the things that keep me from freaking out because of my forthcoming work at the hospital (ohgodnewpeople) and who knows…
… slick isn’t a shadow magic voodoo priest for nothing :B

Oh my goodness if there was some situation where Aradia dies and Droog is completely grief-stricken and everyone tries to do what they can for him and Slick eventually makes a deal with his friends from the Other Side brings her back somehow with great risk to himself but doesn’t say anything about it just because the whole Crew really wants back the Droog they know and love
/dreamy sigh
WHY DO I LOVE ALL THIS OVER DRAMATIC NONSENSE ABOUT SOME GANGSTERS AND THEIR KIDS
you know how brilliant this is? because it goddamn is! so very dark, i really really loved that! and the part when dd starts talking to her ghost gave me the biggest chills. and the end, just… thank you i_i thank you so very much! can i give you something in reward? something you wanna see sketched or i don’t know, just let me know!
But wachtelspinat is a terrible influence and makes me break all my rules. With her pretty art and her art making me have feelings.
Just a disclaimer on this work: i just sort of banged it out really quick to get the damn thing out of my head. I haven’t really proofread heavily, nor did I like, labor over it extensively. imho, it’s pretty depressing, but then again I was listening to like, super emo music while i was writing it sooooo
anyway i’m just going to post it here because ao3 doesn’t want this level of emo. I guess if i want to put warnings on it i’ll slap ‘death of a child’ on it? Anyway, summary: Aradia dies, Droog is wrecked, and the Crew tries everything. Believe it or not it does have a happy ending.
i think i should feel bad for being the causer of tears? but i don’t because this is wonderful i_i seriously. i actually don’t know where to start. maybe at the point where my hands went up to my mouth, to my eyes and then where i was in desperate need of a handkerchief. or at the point where i wanted to hug them all, likely being stabbed in my stomach several times after this but i wouldn’t care because… <3. MY DAY HAS BEEN MADE, yes i love drama, and… can i offer you something in reward i_i? a sketch of something, some scene, just name it and i’ll do it <3
Posted up the first two chapters of the fic inspired by all of this.
I’ve really wanted to write something based on Shalala’s beautiful work for awhile now, and Spike’s musings were all I needed. Spike of course came up with the idea, though I’m going in my own direction with it. If you want a fic that has a happier ending than the devastation I have planned, (and if you just want to read a good fic, people), I suggest you check it out.
Also because Problem Sleuth references
guys i seriously don’t deserve that. all those wonderful writings because of my messy little pic i_i this is gorgeous btw, i would like to sit here for the rest of everything waiting for you to continue this, but i can’t, i have work to do :c i feel like i could never come up with something worth this but but… if there’s something you’d like to see drawn just name it, i’ll do my best! that said i can’t wait for the next chapter <3
this is so ooc i can’t believe it… …or is it? ren and i decided that droog is secretly an emotional tornado and just very good at keeping his feelings in check. and losing a daughter is… well… devastating
fff wachtelspinat got me thinking about stabdads again, I AM SURE EVERYONE IS AWARE OF WACHTELSPINAT’S FAB ART
Anyway Droog isn’t too enthused about Aradia’s nerdy archaeology fascination, but at least once a month he’ll take her on these mini vacations to historically important places around the globe and archaeological digs that would otherwise be impossible to access if he wasn’t so
…Droog-ish and mafia and terrifying.
He isn’t going to raise some spoiled mafia princess who can’t think for herself, but he isn’t some two bit cheap sake ok, what kind of father do you take him for
Never mind that he probably disappears to do his own thing while she does her own thing alone in these exotic…places…thousands of miles away from home…
you guys this wonderful person is the reason why i draw stabdads
instead of catching up some sleep i had to prove to myself that i have no idea how to animate… especially without ref… maybe i could make a decent thing out of this but… nahhh…
but it was a nice warm-up for that other idea i have in mind
and this is supposed to move, so just in case tumblr is a witch again here
ok this is now my favorite everything on the whole damn planet. OHH GOD GIMME MORE TIME SO I CAN DRAW A PICTURE OF EVERY SINGLE SCENE
also i started to feel a little sick at the parts when slick was anguished by the pain in his arm, reminded me alot of last year when i had that stupid fractured elbow and had to go through a lot of physiotherapist sessions… dark times i tell you 8(
ok this is now my favorite everything on the whole damn planet. OHH GOD GIMME MORE TIME SO I CAN DRAW A PICTURE OF EVERY SINGLE SCENE
also i…
it was indeed very awful : ( i wasn’t just stupid enough to fall from my bike, i was also stupid enough to fracture my elbow instead of… i dunno my forearm or anything but it HAD TO BE a joint… and like i said, the worst thing was getting my elbow back to normal so i could strech and fold my arm properly again
