Wade: Hey, Wolvie~!
Logan: Wade, I swear to god - if you ask me to repopulate the world with you one more time, I’ll-
Wade: Is that a no? :(
Cropped version:
ITS DONE!! It took forever but it was worth it :D I drew this for my half-baked poolverine au! It’s kind of a post-apocalyptic time skip, and it’s based on 616 Wade and Wolvie, so not from the Poolverine movie >•< I’m thinking of maybe doing a couple more pieces of them in this au :D
AU lore dump/intro (TL;DR at the end):
It’s been decades (maybe even centuries - who’s keeping track?) since civilisation collapsed, and there’s little left but ruins and bones. Shattered buildings, once tall and steady, litter the skyline.
By all accounts, it’s the end of the world.
And yet, Wade Wilson and Logan Howlett still live on. Their healing factors, although not as fast as they once were, still refuse to let them die. Everyone, and everything, they had once known though, is long gone. Taken by the collapse or just the quiet passing of time. But they’ve managed to find each other, and they’ve made it work.
Right after the collapse, Logan spent months alone, furious and hurting at the loss of the people he’d never been able to admit he cared for. He never stopped moving, tracking faint scent trails across near-empty countries, looking for someone, anyone, that he had known before. Looking for those that he didn’t yet know were alive or dead. ‘Ro, Kurt, Laura, Scott - anyone. Well- anyone but Wade Fucking Wilson.
Logan tries getting rid of Wade for a while after they meet. He yells at him, stabs him, threatens him - but Wade clings on like a damn limpet. A loud, overly affectionate limpet. And for the next few weeks, Logan does not know silence. Wade follows him everywhere.
Eventually, Logan just gives up and stops trying to abandon him in a cave somewhere. He even starts sharing his food and water when it becomes clear that Wade has the self-preservation skills of a newly born puppy. And now that he’s not actively trying to lose Wade, Logan starts noticing something weird’s going on with him. More so than usual, anyway. Sometimes he’ll just stop mid-sentence, confused, unsure of what he was talking about or what he was doing. Or he’ll miss a step while walking, and look around like he’s not sure when he’d gotten here. (Think Wade in the Deadpool and Cable comics prior to Nate using his funky telepathic powers to make it better). He asks Wade about it, and gets a messy answer about regenerative healing factors, cancer, and ‘people who keep fucking about with his brain cells’. Logan chalks it up to what happened in the collapse - no one got out of that unscathed.
Once it’s clear that it’s not something Logan can fix with his claws or his tools, he stops asking. Instead, he compensates. They make it work. Logan gets good at giving Wade the rundown of what’s happened that day when Wade forgets, and dragging him back when he wanders off. And Wade knows to pull Logan out of his thoughts when he notices his Wolvie being a bit too broody and standoffish. Wade understands what Logan’s lost, why he’s still looking so desperately for the ones he loved. Wade had lost his own people, though he has no reason to search like Logan. You can’t look for someone you’ve already buried.
And so Logan and Wade keep travelling. Weeks turn into months, months turn into years, and years turn into decades. The little outposts of survivors that they come across get sparser and sparser, until they disappear completely. Green starts taking over shattered concrete and brick, and the rubble of cities gets covered by a layer of moss and brush. Animals begin settling in on top of the remains of what was once human, and it becomes easier to think that maybe people had never walked the earth at all.
And soon, it becomes clear. They’re the only ones left.
TL;DR: A ‘would you love me if I was the only man left on earth’ situation but it’s not hypothetical.
The poolverine art I’ve been working on is nearly done!! But I wanna post the full thing next Monday specifically for No Particular Reason >•< so here’s a cropped version with just Wolvie!
He didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted, but I’m still pretty happy with him! His hair feels a bit off for me for some reason?? I feel like I messed up his kitty ears a little ;-; and his outfit’s a little weird but it’s okay :D
THINK I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW I WANT TO DRAW WADE??? ITLL MAKE MORE SENSE WHEN I FINISH SHADING I PROMISE ANDJDUEBIZNEJSJDNDN
Current Poolverine WIP!!! Part of an AU/time skip thing I’ve been working on?? I’ll probably elaborate more when I’ve finished this >•< (but god knows how long that’s gonna take)
There’s a whole unfinished background to this that I’ve cropped out for now because it’s just random splotches of colour atm ;-; I hate backgrounds. The things I do for them :p also changed my style a bit! The way I draw eyes mostly - I think this style fits them more? Wade especially
Their outfits are colour coded of course. I need to try and incorporate some brighter yellow into Logan’s!! His shirt looked weird when I made it neon yellow lmao :(
+ THE NEVER ENDING STRUGGLE OF NEVER SETTLING ON A WADE DESIGN IS RIPPING MY BRAIN APART :(( I can’t decide how I want to draw him :(
‘She said ‘No need to water yourself down,
I’ll take you as you are.
I never cowered from some bitterness,
And damn sure won’t start now.
Drop the guise,
You know you’re mine.’’
- Back To Us, Ike Dweck
Sad Wade :(
Been maybe just a little bit obsessed with Puppypool recently ;-;
In like a hybrid au?? I couldn’t decide if Logan would be like a kitty or a wolf or a wolverine so atm he’s just some vague mix of all three :p
CW: semi-realistic gore
‘And everyone knows, oh
You’re losing your gift and it’s plain to see.’
Look at the Sky, Porter Robinson
Wade got a little fucked up :p
^ to justify the height difference (or lack thereof) in my original art ^-^ just a silly little bonus :D
Logan’s doing his best to get on Wade’s level (literally), which sometimes involves a handy 11 inch high concrete box. Anything for Wade 🫡
I MEANT TO DO THIS EARLIER BUT MY MEMORY WASNT REMEMBERING D:
“I swear we’ll be alright, Red.”
It’s done!! Kinda scrapped the idea with the boxes because the vibes ended up being different but I do wanna do something else with them soon!
Poolverine have single handedly gotten me drawing regularly again o_o
(Art without the text below the cut because I’m indecisive)

WADE IN A DRESS!! I’m so happy with how he turned out >•< he’s everything!!
Logan: You- your purse doesn’t match your dress, you idiot.
Wade: Don’t be silly, Wolvie! It’s you (wiggles the purse) and me (gestures at his dress) - we go together! Like ketchup and mustard!
*Logan feels things*
He’s getting ✨shaded✨ :DD

Here’s the other Poolverine sticker design!! Wade + kitty Wolvie :D (neko-Wolvie?? Idk what to call him)
Logan’s got tiny little cat claws now!! Wade thinks he’s the cutest thing ever (besides Mary Puppins) ^-^
Finished with the Wade sticker design!! I like how it turned out :DD He’s holding Baby Knife and Nicepool’s Gold Plated Desert Eagles!
Only wish printers could print in bright RGB neon though :( this is the duller CMYK version and I don’t like it as much. I might post the RGB version but the colours are so eyestrainy because I was trying to get them as bright as possible haha
