Description James and the Giant Peach - Mr. Centipede and Mr. Grasshopper

Like a drug, I can't tell if you're good or bad for my senses. I must be hopelessly lost.

This pic was actually difficult to do, though it might not look like it. For those who know and follow me...I've been having bad uncontrollable spasms as of late. to the point I can't even walk or talk, let alone draw. So this pic took a lot of pushing myself to pump it out. Limbs gave out, and I had to stop along the way....But it was worth it. So while not the best thing I've ever drawn...I'm ery pleased with the results, all things considering.

Drawing will be hard for a while, i know that. but this pic helps show me that I can still at least DO it. Not all is lost yet!

It's a Disney Alternate Universe story where many different characters from different movies are involved. This series, in particular, is a neighborhood AU where characters from "James and the Giant Peach", "Winnie the Pooh", "Lady and the Tramp", "Aristocats", and "Robin Hood" live. There are also guest appearances from characters like Scrooge McDuck, you comes into play later on in the story.


You can see some fanart here, to see what I mean:Ā darkwingsnark.deviantart.com/g…

I have always loved this pairing but I could never find any kick-ass artwork on it. I hope you get better soon!

First of all, thank you for the best wishes! I think I might, just might, be pushing through this! Today, especially, I'm not as twitchy.

As for the pairing- yeah. I have always loved it too, as well as the much more canon Spider/Centipede. However, I see Centipider (or whatever the fuck the pairing name is called) all the time! And while all very lovely fanart, and again I do LOVE this pairing, I get...tired of seeing it be the only one to get love. I enjoy diverse pairing tastes in a fandom- in makes for a healthy pallet! So man different characters, different chemistry, so much one could do. And it would be interesting to see it get explored more!

Plus, ya know...I want more Grasshopper/Centipede dammit.

I know what you mean. I like seeing how other characters would act and react to being in a different relationship. Your art style is so beautiful and unique. I wish I could do amazing art like this. I am glad to hear that you are getting better and I really hope Grasshopper/Centipede pairing gets more love.

Slash = paradise

Yes. That I can agree to. Sometimes I think I don't even KNOW how to fandom unless I make slash happen. Not exactly true...But it feels like that sometimes. But ah, it's too addicting and blissful to go against the urges!

Never been a fan of the movie, but the Centipede is kinda cool.

VERY impressive work, considering how difficult things have been for you. I am extremely impressed. And it's great that you are still carrying on, not letting this get the better of you; you are still able to do what you love, and that is great therapy.
However, please, please don't push yourself. Please.

Hang in there, Snark.

Pssst. Pssst. Grasshopper is the best character. Centipede IS rather fun though.

In all honesty...I don't have much of a choice. If I don't try and carry on, there won't be anything left of me. I don't have much going for me, besides my art. Without it i'm very terribly lost.

Okay, it seems you got my floodgates open now. Prepare for me to whine, complain, and curse at everything and anything. I am miserable right now. Beyond frustrated. The spasms are so bad right now that I can't even fucking walk. I have to use a walker, which I haven't had to do since my last batch of surgeries back in 2007. I hate this walker. I hate having to use it. I hate feeling old- because that's how I feel when I use it. I already felt old because of all my daily pains BEFORE all of his. And now I am stuck using this. And I've tried going without. What happened? I fell over a couch. I have freaken vertigo just sitting in the chair. How the hell does that even happen?

An then i can't do anything by myself. My little sister has been doing everything for me. Exposing my naked form to her so she can help me bathe and get dressed. Can't even hold a glass on my own. (Though it does say a lot about my beloved younger sister. She is such a sweet thing.) Oh, and then i can't even eat or drink properly. Once I start eating or drinking the muscles in my throat convulse and I choke. I can feel my stomach eating at itself. I'm forever hungry and thirsty.

And i can't sleep it away. Sleep does not make this stop. It goes on and wakes me up. Sometimes it gets so bad that my leg will cramp in my sleep, or my arms flail and I punch myself in he face. However the fuck that even happens. Magic flying punching arms.

And I'm hurting. I'm hurting in so many ways. My neck hurts because it hasn't rested properly in days. Feels like I might have whiplash on top of all of this. My stomach hurts in hunger. My arms hurt from all the places I was poked and prodded in the hospital. My head feels like it is splitting in two...But most of all- the worst? I'm hurt because my mother thought I waking faking this. She actually thought I would put myself through all this pain as a way o get attention. who does that? What about me says that I would do that? I am AFRAID of hospital. All my nightmares I have are just memories of bad things that actually happened to me in hospitals. I have gone days, when I know I need to go to a hospital, avoiding going because they bring me so much anxiety that I practically pass out while there. But I was the one who suggested I should go. I asked if somebody would take me, because I was so scared. I had no idea what this was, and it wasn't stopping.

And here she thought I was faking. And she tells this to my little sister, who has been taking care of me. First of all...if you even HAVE these thoughts, you don't tell a 14 year old sibling. You keep that to yourself. Because, look what happens, you come off as an insensitive asshole. Hell, she hasn't been helping me out at ALL. She just keeps talking about work, not even seeming like she cares or is worried. Logically I know she just ca't handle this, and she doesn't know how to. She is scared because we have never went through something like this...but I shouldn't have to be the mature one. i should't have to worry about upsetting her. Because when I actually broke down and yelled at her, she acted like the victim. I even broke down and started crying about her thinking I was faking. She doesn't apologize. what does she do? She gets all defensive. and then she yells at my sister for telling me.

And on top of all of this? What finally broke me and stressed me out and started all of this? My older sister being pregnant...it was a joke. She was joking. And she didn't even let go of the joke until three days later. So I stressed out over a cruel joke. I broke over a cruel joke. I feel like a fool. I have feelings i don't even know how to express over this. I'm just hurting. I'm just lost. And i feel like I'm hanging on a thread of sanity. And I didn't have much before all of this began.

I'm not alone. I know that. And you guys all have been so nice and kind. Haven't replied to all the thoughtful comments yet..But yeah, i know i'm not alone. I know there are people who will talk with me if i just stretch out a hand. But my habit is to curl up and hide away when things go wrong. My habit is to go into my head or suppress it and be all smiles...But I ca't this time. I am being told I can't get better until i take my stress head on.

Aaand now I'm emotionally pooped.

Sorry...that was a lot of stuff.

Thank you. Though, I highly recommend it. The characters really are absorbing and quirky and you can't help but fall for them.
