Mosab Abu Toha, from Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear

Hi there!

This is a complete shot in the dark, but my name is Ethan Willard, I was in Marietta (co-singer guy). I have a podcast called Commando Prompt, which is a show where we watch and review action movies. We are currently looking for new cover art for the podcast, and Evan (other co-singer guy from Marietta) told me about some of the art you made for Marietta lyrics, so here I am! Your art is so good, holy crap!

Would you be interested in coming up with cover art for Commando Prompt? The direction my co-host and I are thinking is emblematic of older Godzilla movie covers, mixed with the sort of retro-futuristic vibes from the Fallout series.

If interested, let me know and we can talk more!

Our email address is commandopromptpod@gmail.com or we can talk on Twitter/Instagram.

oh dude i would definitely be down to make some art for the podcast! i'll send you a message on instagram so you can give me more details + visual pegs/references re: how you want the art to look like :D (my ig username is: pietiau)

also uh i just want to say: listening to marietta got me through a lot. there's some kind of reassurance you get from realizing someone else has felt the way you do— especially when they put it in a way so painstakingly accurate to /how exactly/ you feel it. listening to marietta feels a lot like listening to what i used to never allow myself to say or feel and it made me feel less alone than i'd convinced myself i was.

anyway,,, i'd be yapping if i go on any longer lol basically i'm just really glad i found marietta!

thank you for reaching out and i'm really really glad you guys dig my art :D

you were in my daydream based on a fic i wrote: The Undertow

The scaraether dynamic i want is one where they don’t make each other worse, but they most definitely don’t make each other better. But if they do, its going in directions that definitely doesn’t benefit others around themselves.

Like Aether being an eldritch horror thats potentially a world eater getting courted by Wanderer, who is a living puppet.

Aether reluctantly charmed by Wanderer’s obsession, trying to go “This isn’t healthy for either of us, and is not a good standard for relationships” and it’s true.

But he’s unable to stop himself from being drawn to Wanderer’s promises, the concept of someone that’s just for himself.

Someone who would make him a priority with their own volition. Someone who doesn’t have other attachments that would stop them from helping him when he needs it. Someone who won’t abandon him. Someone who will willingly make themselves a permanent fixture by his side. (Paimon is also that, but she’s more like his child, someone he needs to nurture and also hide terrible things from).

Basically Wanderer being “I can be the hero to your damsel in distress.”

And Aether realizing he really doesn’t mind being a damsel in distress if its Wanderer who saves him.

Thanks to the Irminsul they can have a mental link, and when Aether gets trapped by the Fatui, truly put in a helpless situation, Paimon trapped in a seperate cage, he finds himself reaching out to the Wanderer almost blindly, numbly.

And the Wanderer abandons everything almost immediately to rescue him. He doesn’t keep him waiting.

inspired by the wanderer's idle emotion which is just the most beautiful little smile ever.
