Mmzx Prometheus - Tumblr Posts
Oh to be a pair of teenagers chasing each other through a Washington cedar forest trying to uncover each others’ secrets / salvage the task you bungled horribly within a day of being given it~
Chipping away at the next chapter of Fluorescence (my silly MMZXA/Twilight mishmash fic, for the uninitiated) and felt like drawing Ashe and Prometheus as they appear in the story! You can really tell whose outfit I put more thought and effort into, lol - but I always imagined Ashe to be a casual activewear type of gal. Meanwhile Prometheus is out here doing the complete opposite of blending in.
I know the height difference is pretty stark here (part of that is those unnecessary platform boots) so I feel obligated to re-emphasize that - ignoring supernatural time/immortality shenanigans - these characters are 19 / 18 years old, respectively. Don’t want anyone getting the wrong idea!
Yes, that does technically make Ashe older. 😛
Not even gonna lie, I cracked up laughing several times during this chapter and honestly it's SO DAMN GOOD.
From the character interactions, the insight into their ways of thinking and just the way the whole encounter/"meadow scene" is written feels so much more believable here.
Anyways, READ IT.
(Appreciate the shoutout my friend!!! ☺️)
At long last, I’ve completed Chapter Four of my goofy Twilight/MMZXA fanfic! Read it here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41088294/chapters/107800776
It’s the infamous forest scene! Insert “personal brand of heroin” joke here. I had a lot of fun warping this plot point into something new - I hope it’s an entertaining read.
Shoutout to the stupendous @unintentional-edgelord for her constant feedback and encouragement - seriously, I wouldn’t have gotten this far without you!!!
His master created him just to suffer!!! And imitation is the highest form of flattery!!! Guess what that means for you!!!
Most normal sworn enemies on the planet
Rambling under the cut! Important tl;dr though these guys are adults here, I'm not being creepy I promise
This ship was my darling since I was 13-14 years old! Safe to say, I always thought these characters were much older than me. Kids saving the world was so dumb to me even when I was a kid - can you tell I never played as Grey? (Still love that kiddo though lol). I've always assumed Ashe was at least in her early twenties and Prometheus had some sort of 20-for-200 years Edward Cullen crap going on - hence why jamming them into the Twilight universe for Fluorescence felt like a natural fit to me. I think it's a pretty normal approach many of us take, but I felt the need to clarify in case anyone thinks I've got something creepy going on.
Anyway, I love Prometheus being crazy and intimidating as much as anyone, but it amuses me greatly to think he could also be a little pathetic and embarrassing, as a treat. Ashe's got enough ego to jump at the chance to be someone's knight in shining armor, and maybe Prometheus is secretly juuuuust babygirl enough to let her do it...listen if I can't be silly with them what is even the point okay
Improvement is a sliding scale :)
Was going to wait to post this but I really like how the new version came out.
So behold, Prometheus - 2011 vs 2024!
Proof that hey, we all start somewhere :D
I've been drawing this guy and the rest of the ZX cast for over ten years oh my GOD
