blood, death/murder, neck trauma/self-harm/suicide, and gore/evisceration/disembowelment (NOT KIDDING, HERE THERE BE CARTOON GUTS)

the first post behind the link is safe but that's it, the triggers kick in in the second two

anyway:

on the one hand, cute art!

on the other hand, blood, death, and gore

on the other other hand... the gore doesn't bother me as much because of his immortality? like a big part of what makes gore bother me is the permanence of it, but that isn't a thing here

so it just hit me like normal whump does, where I go "poor baby I want to comfort him" etc etc etc

also like... (not gore-related)

some people draw 662-1 with glasses, some people don't

I believe I have come up with the cutest possible compromise:

READING glasses

where he has them but doesn't wear them most of the time so getting to see them is a treat :3a

(and yes he looks different from my deeds because he doesn't have a canon appearance beyond "short Caucasian male" so people have different takes on what he looks like... and I think that's beautiful )

I like the fluffy hair on this one, very cute

>>;;; enjoying those forearms with the rolled up sleeves too, that bit of hair there is a nice touch

chef's kiss mwah etc

the hands are nice too

I love me some hands but I don't like those dainty hands with the long slender fingers

the ideal hand for me is both strong and deft

Y'KNOW WHAT ELSE

this is the only fanart I've seen that has the bell at the proper size

it's supposed to be 4 cm tall and 2 cm across

(technically 2 cm "circumference", but that makes no sense, so everyone's pretty sure the writer MEANT "diameter", they just WROTE "circumference")

cuz if it's 2 cm circumference... hang on lemme check what 2/pi is

that would be a diameter of .63 cm
