“ A love like ours, Sincere and pure. Deserves to be guided by angels, Deep, into the unknown. On a bed of eternity Lay down its ivory bones. Until destiny and time collide And make of them - Stardust”

“it’s not about what’s happened. it’s about how you cope with things, who you are. you’ve always been this fierce fucking light, and even when you’re at your worst, when you feel angry and broken, you still know how to be a person. how to tell people you- you love them.”

here they are…i’m so unbelievably excited. with the recent resurgence of pop punk/emo music, i’m so ready for what their future will bring.
A city where necromancy is legal and actually a part of every day society. So long as you follow a specific set of laws to make it seem a bit more ethical, you’re allowed to use it to do anything from helping you in a fight, to helping you run your business. In fact, there are entire shops or restaurants where the staff are undead. Laws to handle the undead could be things like:
• The corpses used cannot have flesh on them for sanitary reasons, especially in the case of businesses. Those who raise undead who are more than just bone will face a fine dependent on their situation.
• Similar to how people can donate their bodies to science, or donate their organs to those in need, people can choose to donate their bodies to necromancers before their death.
• If it is unknown if a person wished for their body to be donated after death, and they have been dead for 150+ years, you’re allowed to raise them. If next of kin is still alive, you must get permission from them first.
• You must take care of the undead in your charge. Keep them clean and unbroken. If one of them starts to get too much wear and tear, you are required by law to respectfully lay them back down to rest. Failure to do this will get you a hefty fine.
I’m making a town like this and the tavern will be called the Skelet-Inn
Fucking brilliant
I mean, take it a step further, if you aren’t sure if someone would want their body used after their death, call them up and ask them. It’s less taxing to cast a Commune with Dead spell than to raise an active skeleton, and this way you know for sure whether they mind, so there’s no ethical ambiguity.
Most local dead consider the idea of skeletal labor completely normal, so they tell the necromancer that they waive all rights to the corpse for public work purposes as a formality and then go back to their afterlife.
For private employ however it’s customary to pay a small stipend to either a living relative or a charity of the ghost’s choice in exchange for their corpse’s labor.
Due to the prevalence of public works done by skeletons, Necromancers are seen in much the same light as government functionaries. They’re stereotyped as mild mannered people who do an important service but are also really boring at parties.
“I’m sorry I can’t make it all better, Bucky. But I’m here now. I’ve got you,” Steve whispered.
I’m actually really happy with how the colours turned out! While I was painting this I kept worrying that the colours were off and that this piece just wouldn’t work in colour, but luckily the “colour balance” adjustment layers in PSP fixeverything. ;)
In my first sketch for this they were both happy and content, but well, it’s Steve and Bucky… so yeah… in the next sketch they were both sobbing into each others shoulders. But that was too much, I decided, so now we have Bucky doing that “crying while scowling and looking angry” thing that Seb’s characters often do, and Steve just being there for Bucky, like a cuddly rock.
