here’s magnussen! i should stop writing such long descriptions hah so i’ll keep this one short. it was hard drawing his initial sketch since i’m pretty much trash at drawing men and i had to redraw him 20+ times ... i haven’t worked with inks for a long while so shaky hands, tick, forgetting to check whether the ink is dry, tick, and dealing with running out of ink, tick. the fact that i had no good paper and had to do this is my english notebook was even sadder. hope you liked it!

this sketch was done on paper and then digitally coloured.

story one

tw: swearing, bullying

Charles was a quiet kid, not because he was shy, no, but he very much rathered listening to speaking. He would make his way through the sea of third graders flooding the classroom, and sit at the back, because, as he perfectly knew, that was the best place for the best stories to be listened to.

Charles didn’t consider what he did as eavesdropping, it wasn’t his fault that the other kids didn’t notice him enough to realize that he could hear all their chit chat. And he wasn’t a gossiper. He just stored the knowledge, because it was all useful, wasn’t it? He just had to wait for the right time.

The first time Charles realized what little knowledge about others could do was the previous year, only months before his ninth birthday.

As many other kids, Charles was picked on, and his scrawny, thin physique didn’t allow him to defend himself. Brad, a huge kid from his class had taken up special liking to bullying the skinny, short sighted nerd, as Charles was known.

That’s why it wasn’t unusual for Charles to sprint to the bathroom after the bell rang, avoiding any possible attack he could suffer in the hallways between periods. He entered and locked the furthest stall. And immediately after the bathroom door flew open.

“Shit” cursed the voice “shit, shit”

Charles’ eyes widened as he recognized the voice as Brad’s. The other kid was obviously oblivious to the fact that he wasn’t alone.

After some moments shuffling could be heard, and Charles strained his ears to listen.

“Hey Mom” said Brad, his voice wavering.

“Sweetie, what’s going on?” answered his mother, through the phone.

“Can you call the school and tell them that you are picking me up? It happened again”.

“Oh honey. Yes of course, but didn’t you do your bladder exercises yesterday?”

“I did! I did!”.

“Okay. Okay. I’m ten minutes out. Go to the principal’s office. I’ll pick you up there.”

The line went dead.

Charles’ mind was going full speed. Bladder exercises? Brad had urinary retention problems? This was gold. But he needed proof. So he made a plan.

Their teachers had given them permission slips for their parents to sign, as they were going to visit the local history museum.

Three days later, the due date for the handing out of the signed permission slip, Charles skipped lunch break, and slipped into his classroom, walked all the way to Brad’s seat and unzipped his bag, taking out his permission slip. His eyes skimmed all the way down till the medical section, where the parents had to warn if their children had any medical issue the school had to be aware of. There, the words ‘urinary retention problems’ were neatly written in elegant handwriting. Charles’ heart jumped in excitement. An idea set on his mind.

A visit to the museum, as Charles knew, was the perfect opportunity for a beating, all the teachers preoccupied about other students, all they had to do was take him apart, and no one would notice. It seemed Brad knew that as well, because as soon as the teacher turned their back on them, a hand was on Charles’ shoulder, shoving him roughly to a side room. Brad’s face was twisted in an evil grin, as evil as a nine year old could muster, as he pushed Charles to the ground, making his head hit the corner of a shelf.

“You’ll complete all my today’s homework, nerd” Brad said.

“Tell me Brad, do your friends know that you pee yourself like a baby?”

Brad’s face fell.

“W-what? No. You wouldn’t.”

“Oh really?” Charles smirked.

“I’ll fucking kill you if you do”

“But then, wouldn’t be a shame if your momma discovered that you’re failing classes?” he mocked.

Brad’s face paled even further, and he froze in his place.

Charles stood up, and walked towards him.

He fixed his glasses, that had been skewed when he fell.

He was about to walk away when an idea popped into his mind.

He smirked.

Charles spit into his hand, and then promptly smeared it on Brad’s cheek.

He laughed when tears started slipping from Brad’s eyes.

Chuckling, Charles walked away, towards the group, bumping his shoulder with Brad’s when ing by.

Knowledge was power after all.

(A/N: bullying is horrible, and having bladder issues must be, I’ve never experienced it. I don’t want to encourage any wrong behavior, furthermore, I think making fun of people because of medical issues they have/being different is horrid, just fyi. But it’s for the story, so bare with me. Hope you enjoyed!)
