A mini story about Artemis Stirling - Disclaimer: I am not a writer
‘New Experiences’
Artemis rarely felt such emotions, at least not as long as she’s known. She knew she never felt as ‘intimate’ as the rest of her family…seemed like even the rest of the world didn’t go through what she does. Yet, here it was, the first time in a while she felt anything for anyone. And, of all people, it had to be her.
She had never been one to discriminate with love, but her? Fuck, why her? Artemis’s thoughts were interrupted.
‘Hey, I know dating isn’t really your thing…you don’t have to answer now. I’ll keep in touch, yeah?’ They began to walk away.
Wait, that’s not what Artemis wanted. She clasped their wrist as lightly as she could—she still wasn’t used to her strength around non-gods—‘Wait, please. I-I do want to date you, I just…you know what you’re getting into, right? I might not be able to-‘
‘I know. I can wait.’
‘It might be months, years even. Are you sure?’
Her soft hands cradled Artemis’s face. ‘If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t be asking. It’s not exactly gonna be easy for either of us.’
Artemis felt her stomach flutter a bit. No wonder Mom and Dad were so attached to each other. She would be too if she felt this way all the time. Her eyes welled up a little; she realized that the last time something like this happened her orientation was the exact reason it fell apart. For the first time ever, someone was willing to wait for her heart to catch up, that gave her a head start. ‘Okay, thank you.’
‘Thank me? You’re my girlfriend now, thank you!’ The new title felt even sweeter coming from her mouth. She really was lucky to have a partner like them…

‘I can’t do this anymore, I’m so sorry…’ Marella looked like she was about to break down into tiny little pieces.
‘What? What is it? What’s wrong?’ Artemis was both trying to figure out why they were ending and why they seemed so torn about it.
‘…I need to tell you something. First, though, I want you to know that everything I’ve said to you, everything I feel for you, it’s all genuine, alright?’
‘What does this have to do with—‘ the realization hit her. That’s why she felt something was off from the start. Anyone who reads anything knows enemies to lovers rarely works without strings attached; for characters like the two of them, at least. ‘Oh…I…kinda figured, just a little.’
‘You knew?!’
‘I had a hunch, but it never felt fake from you, not once. My intuition is at least strong enough to notice when I’m being played, though.’ Her heart hardened just a bit from hearing the words come out of her own mouth. She’d been played, for months. How pathetic.
Bones are needed
Cotlober!! Second week!!
New characterrrr. It’s Arti’s love interest hehe.
The many variants of my persona in one image. Yes, Nim is canonically a shapeshifter because I can’t decide what I want to look like. Also an alt which just gives turtle!Nim hair I think I like the alt better
Dude the colours for turtle!Nim gave me HELL not to mention Procreate has sucked the saturation out of my palettes for some reason like—
Explain to me how those shades are the same????
I dun got sick of my art style after not properly drawing for a solid few months. TIME FOR A REVAMP! Not sure how long this will take but you’ll get sketches and whatnot…eventually.
