livewireprojects: This is an extremely late entry for day 24, I know I said I’d be posting something soon when I made my post for the final day of Sheith Month but things got messed up. I got busy & at first I was going to do an oneshot but scrapped it because I felt I put to much trauma in it for an oneshot.(Context was that Keith use to be in a foster family that he thought would be his forever home until the dad died in a car crash & the mom went insane as she became very protective & possessive of him after losing her husband. Cops had to explain to Keith that she started sedating him so he’d be to tired & dazed to leave her which eventually lead to CPS & the cops taking him away from her when Keith stopped going to school. She even threatened to destroy what’s left of Keith’s soulmark because now that he was all she had left she wouldn’t let even his soulmate take him.) I think it might have escalated to much & I didn’t really have enough to work more on that backstory.(Like have Keith afraid of the idea of soulmates thanks to his foster mom & have Shiro help him overcome it)This was based off a Yuri on Ice fanfic about markings for soulmatesThis picture is meant to summarize it & give a better idea of what the soulmate mark looks like. I kind of copied off a pic from wiki for it, the soulmark is a constellation of Leo.The idea is that Allura & Keith are stuck alone in the castle for some reason, Allura thinks on what she’s been told about soulmates by Lance(who doesn’t have one but everyone jokes that he & Allura may as well be soulmates) because they made a comment on Keith panicking because he felt his soulmate be in distress around the time Keith was helping a sick Shiro. Allura then notices Keith’s back is covered in scars when he’s undressing from his paladin armor.Keith talks about how he was in an accident as a kid that lead to his back getting scarred enough that he could barely recognize his soulmate mark leading to him being devastated as he didn’t think his soulmate would be able to recognize the marking either. Keith had gone years without seeing his marking & without being able to find his soulmate that he gave up on it. He also admits that he wonders what Shiro thinks as Keith can’t help but feel something leading him toward Shiro. Allura feels a little bad for her part-Galra paladin as he’s gone through a lot in his life.Shiro & the others eventually come back & Allura talks to Shiro about soulmate markings, I forget what I was thinking for this but eventually Shiro catches sight of Keith’s marking. He traces over it & hugs Keith, it turns out that even with damage covering it up soulmates still recognize each others’ marking. Shiro shows Keith his & Keith nearly cries as Shiro’s helps him recognize his own damaged mark once again.I tried to do a colored sketch of Keith & Shiro’s backs(I dunno if it was a good idea to use a screenshot for a color ref & then use an imaged I saved for a scar color ref) along side their soulmate mark which is kind of meant to be ironic since they drive robot lions. I’m not good at scars so it might look ridiculous, also not sure if Shiro had any other scars other than around his missing arm & on his nose.I finally finished the thing I wanted to make for a day I missed for Sheith Month. I have another idea for this day’s theme also based on another Yuri on Ice but I’ll just post it as a normal Sheith pic post instead of a Sheith Month post. See everyone next year for Sheith Month again.For more Sheith Month go to @sheithmonth, see everyone in June & hopefully I’m more prepared. I guess if I want to be on time I make everything I can early. -- source link
