Description These are getting bigger as I draw them >_> I'll be listing the lyrics in addition to linking the images when I'm done with the set.

Until then, enjoy this brief, skewed view into how Blaze views the mythos of Evo. 9_9




My spelling sucks.




__________________________________________________________________________


When I was 9, I learned survival. Taught myself not to care.

I was my single, good companion. Taking my comfort there.

Up in my room, I planned my conquests. All alone, never asked for a helping hand. No-one would understand.

I never asked the ones who moved below. Just incase they said "No."

Pity the child that has ambition. Knows what he wants to do. Knows that he'll never fit the system others expect him to.

Pity the child who knew his family. Saw their faults, saw the love die before his eyes. Pity the child that wise.

He never asked "Did I cause your distress?" ... just incase they said "Yes."

When I was 12, my father moved out. I wasn't enough to keep him about.

I didn't miss him, he made it perfectly clear that I was a fool and probably queer.

I took the road of least resistance, I had my games to play. I had the skill, and more, the hunger, easy to get away.

Pity the child wiht no such weapons, no defence no escape from the ties that bind. Always a step behind.

I never called to tell him all I'd done. I was only his son.

Pity the child, but not forever. Not if he stays that way. He can get all he ever wanted... if he's prepared to pay.

Pity, instead, the careless father. What he missed, what he lost when he Let me go. And I wonder if he knows...

I wouldn't call, a crazy thing to do. Just incase he says "... who?"

How sad. And yet cute. I feel like I'm beating a puppy with every new page

Imagine how drawing it feels.

Your spelling may occasionally suck, but your shading apparently never does. The faint facial features of the figure on the left are very nearly giving me the heebie-jeebies, woman. Loving how both Mystique and Pietro manage to be such strong focal points, though. That's a neat trick there.

This is my favourite drawing of Mystique that I've ever done ever. I initially intended for her to be more lost in shadows, but then I was like "No, fuck it, it looks good like THIS"

I can not even begin to describe to you how much I'm loving this series...but this one in particular. Pietro hiding on the stairs, watching them all below, is somehow a powerful image. To him, they are untouchable and he is invisible and it's so incredibly sad......*jots down some notes for a fic*

Your comment made me all happy inside ^_^


I will say- this isn't necessarily an accurate representation of how I view his history. It's a distorted view, distorted by (a) Time, (b) Pietro's own bias and (c) me trying to fit the lyrics of the song.


However- YOU may take it and run, if you like. I hardly have sole-ownership on Pietro Dramuah, so much as I'd like to XD

I'd really love to hear your exact description sometime, I think it would be great.

I try and avoid Pietro-angst, because it's done a lot, but this one is a little different, I think. If I ever get around to it

Maybe sometime I'll let you in on the loop. I'd like to think that my ideas are at least different though probably not better than all the other stereotypical Pietro Druaamaaaah CONSTANTLY pouring in. I mean, I admit the guy has angst, but it's not Evanesance/Linkin Park Search-Out-Someone-To-Hug-and-A-Shoulder-To-Cry-on-for-I-am-so-vulnerable-and-abused angst. Or at least it's not in my world. >_> This scribbled mental vomit I'm doing here is about as close as I want to get to that >_>


I'm a wee bit opinionated, though. Which is to say: Please! Don't let my cantankerous bitterness stop you from writing whatever makes you happy. ^_^

Agreed. He has problems, but a fair amount of them are self created. Not all, but a good chunk.

Oh, it won't. If anything stops me it will be school-- that one thing that seems to get in the way of the best of everything.
