Don't Do It

It just occured to me that Stan technically canonically liked to draw, so here's my take of what Stanley's sketchbook would have looked like had he never gave up on art :]

Stanley first found this sketchbook left behind in a dumpster next to a library. The rings that once held the pages together were broken and warped, so he instead fashioned himself a jury rigged binder by weaveing one of his shoelaces through the holes in the side. In the end, it was essentially just a stack of barely held together paper, but he was still satisfied with it.

Pencils were easy enough to snag from the store since they fit so easily inside his pockets; but he had to settle for the shitty stubby pink erasers that barely did its job on the end of the pencils if he made any mistakes.

Stanley wasn't much of a poetic guy, and he didn't do the kind of art that had deep symbolism or meaning behind them. He was more the kind of artist that just drew what was in front of him, plain and simple. Had he been younger, he might have been able to fill in this cobbled together sketchbook in a matter of days, page after page filled to the brim with creatures and adventures of the wildest dreams.

Well, Stanley wasn't exactly a sprightly young child anymore with a boundless imagination to take inspiration from, but 10 years was a long time to be on the road and moving around, so there was plenty for him to draw.

(My primary goal was just to make these pages look as realistic as possible, but I did add in mini backstories in each of the pages' image description, if you feel like reading that :])

See No Evil

so i've been thinking abt the circumstances of gillion's banishment (as one does) bc it Doesn't Make Sense cuz like,,, idc how fucked up the elders are or how much they may have hated gillion, why would you banish the chosen one over something like attacking a navy officer- the very thing you spent seventeen years telling him to do??? you wouldn't. you've spent almost two decades training this kid to be your perfect little weapon, you wouldn't throw him out for acting like the weapon you turned him into. for acting on the instinct that you programmed into him- especially considering gill attacked jayson because he could literally smell the evil coming off of him. you wouldn't give up an unquestionably loyal guard and literal holy figure for the sake of a bad deal with the very people you HATE.

so now I wonder. I wonder if sending gill to the oversea is just another fucked up test. I wonder if the elders lied to him about his banishment, and used him attacking a navy officer as an excuse to throw him into this test. to see if he could survive on his own.

STOP IT IM SAD NOW

missing him.

During the time gill was in the pearl, I think chip would hug Destinys blade unsheathed, which is pretty reckless, but what else does he have? Chip would wake up with lil cuts as if gill had just sparred with him the night before.
