meaning time ladsssssss
(this is gonna be a bit less concise than my other one because my thoughts are ALL over the place with this piece... I'm also just really tired today but anyway)
ok so this is one where I had SUCH a vivid concept idea in my head (mainly inspired by the nothing but thieves song 'lover please stay'*) but I was finding it really hard to translate into an artwork... so let's see if I can explain it better with words lol?
ok so basically I wanted the disembodied hand of Len (surrounded by a halo) to be reaching out towards an unaware Tommy (which someone in the tags mentioned made them think he was reaching out to give him head pats or something which did make me giggle a bit lol) hanging above like the sword of damocles, a heavy, suffocating presence following Tommy throughout his life (and especially at the funeral)
(originally had it hovering at his shoulder but it looked weird idk... partly because foreshortening is NOT my strong point and fsr I refused to use a proper reference for Len's hand?????? can't explain it...)
the stark lines of the background were originally going to be more organic and soft looking... I think the lines feel more relevant, especially with the idea of Tommy being trapped in a life he never wanted (because of the sacrifice he made to save Len by leaving him)
(the silver bars perhaps like a cage, or a prison...)
and it is kinda funny that I did start with a very different colour palette (pale blue and gold), but blue and red seems to be my in9 colour scheme so here we go again pfft...
not a lot to say about the style of this one lol... again, planned to do something totally different (wanted to do art nouveau style) but it just ended up morphing into something else entirely lol. I guess maybe an interesting thing about how I painted is that I predominantly painted Tommy's skin tone in pinks/reds (I was aiming for a more realistic tone than I usually do) which is maybe why the pale blue and gold background didn't work hmm...
the string of fate between them has disconnected, but Tommy is still unable to let go as Len unravels from his life like a loose thread...
this episode just makes me feel so much lol I just really hope that emotion comes across in my artworks of them tbh...
*also just in case people aren't aware of some of the lyrics in the song that I felt were really relevant for these two, so here they are:
'So take from me what you want, what you need
Take from me whatever you want, whatever you need
But lover, please stay with me
...
And I can see you, I can feel you
Slipping through my hands'
i can feel you, slipping through my hands...
(yes, another bernie clifton's dressing room fanart lol)
(09/2024)
this piece went through like 5000 concept changes before i settled on 'sword of damocles meets red string of fate' lol...
#my brain is SO fuzzy today i have no idea if this is even coherent lol#people seemed to like my last attempt at this tho so like heere we are pfft

. . . INTRODUCING | AN ULTIMATE GUIDE TO making not so easily flustered boys blush a little— or maybe not so little ?! ⊹ ׅ ⋆
CATER diamond, LEONA kingscholar, JADE leech, JAMIL viper, VIL schoenheit, ROOK hunt, LILIA vanrouge
— TAGS : gender neutral reader, fluff, crack a little, you end up embarassing yourself in a funny way almost in every chapter but it's okay (i would do the same tbh), a silly reference to matchmaking tv show in rook's part just for fun
🎀﹒CATER DIAMOND
You realize you’ve never seen Cater blushing. You also didn’t want him to try those extremely artificial filters which apply some blush effect on selfies, so there was only one option left for you — which is making him flustered.
So one sleepless night you decided to think over all the variants you could possibly try, and appeared before Cater the next day, looking not all your best, but you already was sure to give it a go, so you took a deep breath.
And decided to pull your cringiest aegyo which could be ever possible (or maybe even wasn’t) and started singing in a very high-pitched voice, embarrassing yourself but not really caring. “I like you so much ottoke ottoke” was heard along all NRC and became trendy thing later on, BUT AS FOR NOW… now you were flustered instead when Cater patted your head and just begged for you to teach him that so he won’t be falling behind the trends. After a few explanations, he already mastered the song and— NOOO, it wasn’t how you expected it to be!!
Next days went the same way: you would come up with a sudden idea, try to get Cater flustered and end up with being flustered yourself. You also noticed how Cater’s followers were cheering on you in the comments section and decided that you’ve had enough.
You came to him right in a full swing of an unbirthday party, other students were already guessing what funny thing you would perform today, but you just took the seat right in front of Cater, an enormously long table aparting you two. An unusually serious look in your eyes made your boyfriend get concerned for a second before you slammed your palms on the table and stood up.
“Argh!” You screamed, annoyed a little. “It isn’t fair! And I’ve had enough of this shi—” You noticed Riddle glancing your way and sighed, lowering down your gaze and pouting. “Why am I even doing this when all that matters is you being happy, which is my top priority… I’m sorry for being so stupidly eager… But if you had fun watching me doing all those silly things, then I’m more than glad to make you smile. So instead of me trying to make you blush, I’ll keep on making you smile genuinely. Got it?”
You looked right in his eyes, flashing a victory smile and dropping it instantly when you spotted him averting his gaze, a little pinkish flash flickering on his cheeks.
“Don’t tell me…”
“Cater-senpai blushed!!”
“Hey Prefect, mission accomplished!!”
“HUH?!” You run to him. “But why so suddenly?!”
“Aww, please don’t make me explain~” He giggled, that little cute blush already disappeared. “It’s just the way you were so genuine… Please never change, alright? And now I need to get you flustered too!”
“Won’t be that hard. But don’t try to embarrass me with an aegyo song, I’ve mastered it by now.”
🎀﹒LEONA KINGSCHOLAR
Listen herbivore, whatever you’re planning, drop it. There’s no point in whatever you’re trying to achieve with those funny grimaces of yours (Leona won’t say they’re adorable tho—). You can’t also make him blush by embarrassing him because he already has a bunch of dormmates who embarrass him enough by their behavior, he doesn’t really care.
Pfft, who does he think he is? As if you could be swayed off so easily! Well you do struggle a lot, trying to figure out is it even possible to witness Leona flustered. Some first years witnessed you going back and forth in the back of the kitchen one day and ended up agreeing you’ll be the new part of ‘Seven miracles of NRC’—or whatever it was, you didn’t even know the thing existed all this time—not to mention even Savanaclaw residents periodically glance at you as if you’re some sort of a ghost. Is there a ghostification procedure to endure before getting sorted into Ramshackle or what?
Hello, you’re dating Savanaclaw dorm head. Whatever you’re trying to prove, it’s already crazy, but not crazy enough than the very fact of you two being romantically tied together.
“You’re dating THAT Leona Kingscholar?!”
“Yeah, he’s being a pain in the ass for not blushing at all.”
… Is what gets Leona smirking proudly lying under the tree in the botanical garden— THAT’S NOT IT. You always punch him slightly for behaving that way and enjoying you struggling.
“Give me Farena’s phone number NOW. I need consultation.”
“You don’t have a phone, herbivore.”
“I’m in the mood for kicking Crowley’s office doors down with my foot and demanding a phone.”
“Didn’t know you’ve got a hobby of embarrassing yourself.”
Hell yeah you did. There’s no turning back at this point, not after trying all those stupid faces you’ve demonstrated in Savanaclaw lounge full of other residents who got flustered by your antics instead, Leona remained unbelievably stupidly insanely solid.
Another day, another embarrassment. The evening was looming before you, Grim demanding you, his dearest henchman, to get yourself together and come back home (aka Ramshackle) and forget about trying to get Leona flustered. The idea is dumb anyway, do you really want to see HIM blushing out of all people? Damn…
“I think I might just punch you in your stupid pretty face to get a hint of blush on your cheeks. Damn I’m such a mastermind,” you complained, poking your finger on his chin while lying next to him.
“Go try,” Leona yawned. “I doubt your success though. What can you even do with those little hands of yours?”
You sigh, closing your eyes for a second. Leona opens his on the contrary, glancing at the crown of your head.
“Doesn’t matter how strong other people’s hands are, they can’t hug the best person in the world with them. But I can.”
You turn to Leona, ready to demonstrate what you’ve just said but end up stopping in the middle, staring at his bewilderment face, a little hint of red hue blossoming on his cheeks.
“No way…” You whisper and turn to him completely, ignoring his ‘tsk’ and throwing yourself on him. “Don’t tell me!!”
“I’m not telling.”
“You’re such a cutie!!”
“Don’t even know how come you’re so spoiled.”
🎀﹒JADE LEECH
It’s always Jade and his never ending “Fu fu, you’re so fascinating, dear Prefect” plays. One day when having dinner at the Mostro Lounge you somehow ended up flustering Azul and Floyd. And that was also the moment you knew you fuc— ahem, failed something.
“A~ah, what for are you being so caring,” you mumbled to Jade sitting beside you and pouring the drink into your glass. “I love you so much.”
“Ehem, Prefect, that’s a little…”
“Ew,” Floyd commented. “Koebi-chan, you’re greasy.”
You blinked at them, switching your gaze to Jade who seemed to be having fun and taking all this as some sort of entertainment. You furrowed your brows, noticing Jade’s unwavering smile and tried once more.
“Should I write a serenade? We could hold a karaoke night or something, I’m quite confident in my singing.”
“Koebi-chan~ Stop being gross, what’s gotten into you? Jade, you tell!”
“I’m exceedingly flattered,” Jade ignored his twin, getting a bit closer to you. “Should I write a poem to you as well as a way of showing my gratitude?”
By now you know there’s a pattern hidden in his behavior. Whenever you try to pull ‘I’m so stupidly in love with you it’s painful so I’ll cause a mess trying to get you flastered’ card, Jade reflects it, saying things even more exaggerated and far-fetched to the point it hurts other people.
Somehow your little antics turns into competition between you and Jade — the one who’ll get more flustered students wins. Azul is ready to place a bet but then you abruptly cut him off by saying an extremely embarrassing nonsense and he shuts up immediately, followed by Floyd’s laughter. You don’t stop, making Jade brother’s cheeks covered in pinkish hue.
Polite Leech twin who? Jade loses his status thanks to you, mimicking into ‘A scary part of Embarrassing duo’ instead. In all this little play you perform you want to find undercovered Jade’s flustered persona.
Jade likes fascinating, interesting things. That includes your behavior and what made him fall in love with you in the first place—you’re quite an unique individual, dear Prefect. But acting oh so mysteriously and entertaining Jade’s interest isn’t enough. He loves you for that, but what makes him flustered?
“The ground is sure slippery today,” you notice during the Mountain Lover Club activities, ascending the mountain.
“Yes, I trust you’re rather careful, aren’t you, dear?” Jade smiles and stretches out his hand to you so you could grab it just in case.
“Of course I am! Who do you take me for—”
Hello?? Maybe climbing on the wet dirty cliff isn’t a good idea??
You back off, feeling the ground slipping away from under your feet, and stare at Jade, who seems just as frightened as you.
“I’m sorry!” You shout out when he catches you, drawing you closer. “Though I would fit Embarrassing duo aesthetic with a twisted ankle. I already can imagine which jokes based on it would fluster Azul and… Jade?”
“Haah,” Jade sighs. “Don’t scare me like that.”
“Scare?.. What do you mean? I’m okay!”
“What would I do if it was more than a twisted ankle and… nevermind, forgive me for raising a voice at you and… Hm?”
“Huh,” you stare at him in awe. “You’re blushing?!”
“Yes?” Jade blinks away all the blush he had just now. “It seems you’re imagining things.”
“Don’t tell me, I can get you flustered by putting myself in danger? Jade, you’re so…”
“I suggest you not repeat such an experience ever again, thank you very much,” he smiles at you intimidatingly but you giggle, leaning closer to him.
“Yep, I promise~”
🎀﹒JAMIL VIPER
“Try being nice to him!” Kalim says to you (as if you’re not being nice but ok) when Jamil taste-tests his meal right before your backs, sighing at Kalim’s silly statement.
“That’s your prerogative, Kalim-senpai,” you say, not noticing Kalim’s slight crimson hue on the cheeks.
You’re being so effortlessly sweet to everyone—your boyfriend included—but hello? Is Jamil actually protected from being able to blush or what?
You’ve tried so many things it’s almost painful to witness. Saying something nice? Ok he’s in Scarabia, literally go try something else, do you really expect him to fall into your sugary sweet words or what. Helping him out in the kitchen with chores? Yeah you did a good job now go rest. Praising him out of blue for his only existence? Erghh who are you trying to fool, really…
It’s not like Jamil doesn’t appreciate your attention aimed at him, but what are you really trying to do? Isn’t it fairly enough to enjoy the time you two get to spend together so rarely? But in any case your shenanigans end up being an everyday held discussion with bet placings. It’s not average ‘will you manage to get your boyfriend flustered’—not that, but ‘will you try doing some funny shit so that Jamil would get not flustered but embarrassed instead or will you just show PDA’. Now that’s the real entertainment.
Ok so you come up with a plan. Good old kabedon would be so real, right? Even if he won’t fall into your charm, then at least will blush because of embarrassment… Ugh.
And so you think, walking out into the school hall, seeing Jamil from the distance, ‘Almost pa~radise’ playing from somewhere (what kind of romcom is that—) cornering him and trying to look as cool as possible, your gaze aimed right at his steel dark eyes, eyelashes fluttering enchantingly, ‘Shalalala~’ sounds all over the place when you try to grin proudly. Jamil parts his lips slightly and—
“I’ll let others know that their bet failed miserably,” he sighs, meeting your bemused eyes. “They thought you would dance for me today while singing a serenade.”
You pout, averting your gaze and quickly trying to come up with something while you still—kinda—corner him.
“I didn’t expect the music though,” Jamil notices. “Maybe one day something will catch me off gua— MHM?!”
Ah hell with it, you think, grabbing the cloth of his dorm uniform and pulling him closer and pressing your lips to his, it’s now or never! Go get that blush while you’re still at it, right?
“What are—”
You never give him time to think, catching his lips again and again. You open your eyes, looking straight at his cheeks but notice no blush. Alright, then it’s time to give it all the 100% of your devotion!
“You!” You exclaim, kissing him once again. “I love you,” you continue with another brief kiss. “An amazing dancer, an unbelievably talented cook, a wise strategist, an amazing singer, you’re… you…! You jerk!”
“Ha?!”
You can’t really define by now if he’s blushing or not, because it’s you who is flustered instead. But oh be sure he is blushing hard.
“Hey, the last thing you’ve said,” he stops you, trying to catch his breath. “You fool, what are you saying?”
But before you manage to retort, he kisses you back, not caring at your crazy antics anymore, the tips of his ears flaming with crimson.
🎀﹒VIL SCHOENHEIT
Well… first congrats on managing to get the boyfriend who got ranked number one at the top of ‘The most unflustered celebrities ever’. But you wouldn’t be you if you didn’t like a real challenge.
Flattery will get you nowhere and you know it by heart. Genuinely praising his work ethic? You should know it’s the axioma, not the compliment which could lead you to witness him blushing. You decide to play a strategist and wait for the right moment to come.
“Yeah yeah, just admit you have no fuc— eeehm freaking idea of what to do rn,” Epel says, stealing your juice when you two discuss your masterplan.
“Dude I have a plan, believe me.”
“Uh-huh, that’s a great plan, Prefect. That’s fuckin’ ingenious, if I understand it correctly. It’s a Swiss fuckin’ watch.”
“What did I say about wording?” Vil appears right behind Epel’s back, and your classmate gets red instead of your boyfriend instantly.
You: wanting to make Vil blush because you’re curious and also he would look fantastic, cute, gorgeous, angelic, divine and—
Epel: helps you for lulz.
And then the opportunity arrives: there’s an upcoming Filming Research Club project you intend to join. You manage to get the role and DAMN how lucky you are — the main task is to make Vil’s character flustered!
That’s where the real challenge starts because you know that Vil’s a genius actor and one little blush needed for the play is nothing but what you don’t know is how to make him blush for real.
“You came,” he says according to the script. “You in my arms is like a fever dream to me.”
You gently touch his cheek.
“Ah,” Vil fixes a lock of your hair, and you allow it, staring into his eyes radiating nothing but a feigned tender. “Your Grace, I believe I have no authority to meet you like this. Scarcely thought I would present such a pathetic side of me to you…”
“You have so much power,” he denies. “You will never be pathetic. To me or to anyone else.”
It’s just a rehearsal but it’s the right time for you to not act and perform wonder for real.
“And you, my dear,” you deviate from the script, Vil remains steady at your improvisation, until… “I love you with all your flaws and all the things you disrelish in yourself.”
You see Vil’s cheeks growing a bit reddish when his eyes widen a little at your sudden genuine words and a lovely smile. He can’t afford losing composure so easily, so the next second he already pulls you closer boldly.
“I loathe to realize I’m the only one whose cheeks are painted crimson. Would you allow me to fix it?”
“Of course.”
— And cut.
And while others are in bewilderment at your improvisation which turned extremely good, Epel freaks out in the background.
“Stop being greasy already,” he says, covering his mouth in disgust. “It’s just as gross as stumbling across parents when they kiss, bleh.”
“Didn’t know you see me as your parental figure,” Vil nods.
“NEVER!”
🎀﹒ROOK HUNT
“Have you ever seen Rook blushing?”
“What are you saying?” Vil replies.
“Sounds impossible,” Epel agrees. “Keep on trying tho.”
Keep on trying to get your boyfriend, the Rook Hunt, to get flustered? HUH, NEVER IN YOUR LIFE, nuh-uh, what are you, insane? You brush off the mere thought of trying to get him to blush at the very first second it even appears in your mind.
You’re not crazy, why would you try that?! It’s impossible!
But somehow your question you accidentally dropped during the meal you were having with Vil and Epel gets popular in the NRC newspaper. You don’t care if there wasn’t a newspaper before — it was created just for ‘Have you ever seen Rook blushing?’ caption to spread throughout the college.
Sure many students just frown at it because why would they even be interested in this, who in their right mind would approach Rook willingly in the first place— ah right you would, you did, you love him.
Then it’s time for you to take responsibility and solve the mystery!
Uh-huh, if it was that easy to accomplish! Your first guess is to impress him with French but you literally can say some nonsense because of mispronouncing words and he would be in awe, heart-shaped sparkles in his eyes all over the place.
You are willing to take archery classes? Fantastique, étonnant! He will gladly help you with that, do you know it’s important to have enough strength in your arms? Here, he will show you the right position and— wait, it's you who blush.
You write a love poem to him in French? Ah, à vous couper le souffle! Just how talented you are, your love knows no bounds, he’s exceedingly lucky to have you as his lover!
Cool ok so… What to do?!
“This whole ‘get Rook flustered’ thing drives me insane,” you say to Epel with a heavy sigh, holding a flower bouquet you’ve prepared.
“You’ve brought this all yourself,” he replies. “Idk do something ergh… Genuine? I feel like a matchmaker.”
“We’re already dating tho.”
“I don’t care, go get that blush already.”
Alright, it’s time to solve all this mysterious ‘Have you ever seen Rook blushing?’ thing already. You find Rook in the school yard and decide to play it another way. You’ve already tried being romantic, why don’t try something stupid at least once, right?
You get down on one knee and give Rook the bouquet you’ve prepared.
“Ahem… It’s Larisochka Guzeeva and this is the program ‘Let’s get married!’... Or not. Actually, I’m not trying to suggest that we get married. Not yet! Maybe in the near future… God what am I saying argh!! ANYWAY! Rook, listen, I love you to the point I don’t care if I act odd and weird to other people. I’m okay with doing all these when I’m with you…”
“He… Heheh~ Oh dear Trickster, what a lovely person you are,” Rook chuckles at your performance and you think you’ve failed miserably but then you notice how sweet the pinkish hue on the tips of his ears is and raise up instantly.
“I did it!!”
“Ah, right, I think I should do it more often.”
“What.”
“Spreading the mystery about no one seeing me blush, of course~”
“ROOK!”
─ ⊹ It’s Larisochka Guzeeva and this is the program ‘Let’s get married!’ — a popular russian TV talk show and the saying, it doesn't really mean anything, it's just for lulz ahsdjkh
🎀﹒LILIA VANROUGE
Ok so how do you make an aeon old bat fae flustered.
Lilia knows you want to impress him before you even know it yourself, and when the whole Diasomnia holds a parley about how to prevent you from getting a majestic glorious undoubtedly wise and stoic Lilia-sama— ok Sebek we got you, in any case Lilia just chuckles and smirks.
It’s a game! And if it is, then you should laugh, not blush, the formula is easy. He will make you flustered instead before you even can think of something.
A petard exploding with sparkling particles early in the morning with ‘Greeting to the most important person in all the dimensions existing’ forming right under the ceiling of your room in Ramshackle? Easy, wanna see it again tomorrow?
If the petard was too scary for you to comprehend or wasn’t so romantic, then how about fixing the collar of your uniform before pressing a gentle kiss on your cheek?
Still not convinced Lilia’s a master of making you flustered? Ho~ You silly, how about the ring changing its engravings every hour, going from ‘I love you’ to ‘I’m forever yours’?
Look, dear Prefect, he's absolutely invincible! You’ve got such a brainy boyfriend and—
Ho, have you finally realized you want to see him flustered? Bring it on!
… Or so he thought.
Suddenly you don’t react at all. He bought flowers? Ok cool you have an enormously large garden in Ramshackle by now, what’s the big deal? He composed a song for you? Yeah nice why not.
Lilia quickly realizes you’re playing another game. Why not, you’re being so amusing while trying to outsmart him by pulling the ‘I actually don’t care at all’ card, but he knows how your little smiles blossom when you turn around, so there’s no need to worry.
“Stop being so unnecessarily cold to Lilia-sama!!” Sebek demands when you visit Diasomnia and blink at him.
“Calm down, Sebek. Prefect and Father play a game. A strange one, there’s no denying, but still…”
The two of them start bickering and you chuckle, trying to reassure them everything’s okay.
Lilia joins you not that instantly, watching you for some time and then decides to have some fun again, hugging you from behind and floating midair at the same time.
“Ho~ I see you’re not repulsing me today, hm?”
“I was in the middle of creating another tactic but got distracted by the kids.”
“Kids?” Lilia leans closer to you with a cheeky grin on his face.
“Yes, Silver and Sebek are like kids to me. Is it what having children feels like? Maybe we could start our own family one day… Oh, I got carried away. What are you going to demonstrate to me to… day…?”
You turn to Lilia, his face extremely close to yours when you see a foreign pink dusting his cheeks while his eyes widen in shock.
You are willing to start a family with him?.. That…
“HUH?! DID I SUCCEED? I literally did nothing!!”
“Hu-hu~” Lilia recovers quickly and presses a little kiss on your cheek. “Who knows~”

Tango making decked out 2 and streaming runs is why we have so much etho content. Everyone thank him for giving us hours of behind the scenes of Etho’s videos.
Wait Etho deliberately waits for Tango’s streams to run? Bro?? He’s actually so kind. Using his fandom to get Tango views.
HE SNITCHED TO HYPNO LOL. HE’S SUCH AN EAVESDROPPER.
Gem pops in and the first thing she does is to punch Etho repeatedly. Classic. The Canadian on Canadian violence is real.
Etho planning to punch some bats
AND THE FIRST UNLUCKY EVENT OF HIS RUN! HOW MANY MORE WILL HE FIND? The vex avoiding path change, now the stumble card. He did get a key before 30 seconds though. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone try to lure One Eyed Willie before. ALL THAT FOR 23 FE AGAIN?!
Tango talks so much to Etho during his runs, more than he does to anyone else. Something something expressing the will of the dungeon. Is that why the dungeon likes Etho so much? He talks to it, thus the favor, or is it the other way around? Tango enjoys his runs so much more than anyone else’s, even Hypno’s.
Beast Bites! Man continues to reference the previous decked out. Of course he gets level 3 on his first try. HE GETS A 24 HAHAHA! “Cant have keys and artifact luck etho” -gem. HES STILL GOING TO FARM LEVEL 1 LOL. And then he taunts Gem with keys. He’s such a little shit stirrer.
EVEN THE RAVAGERS LIKE HIM!!! AND HE GETS ETHO WALLED!! He talked so much trash to Gem about her bad key luck and now he has to eat his words. Etho suffers from treasure rng for the first time. AND THEN THE GAME IS LITERALLY RIGGED AGAINST HIM BECAUSE OF MAX TREASURE!!! Etho dungeon difficulty is real. And of course he dies to Miss Management. How ironic. He’s washed up in the river of souls! Gem is so vindicated.
WILLIE AIMBOT! Sure did washed him up in that lake! One eyed on one eyed violence.
HIS KEY LUCK IS INSANE. The dungeons really wants him deeper. AND THE WARDEN IS RIGHT AT THE DOOR. AND HE JUST SNEAKS RIGHT ON BY UNDER IT. “just a little slime boing boing!” What comes out of his mouth even?
“How does he even get an IMPOSSIBLE key” -gem LOL.
Yeah right he’s taking coward’s path he’s gotta be trolling. “Pfft who’re you talking to here” THE SHEER ARROGANCE. I hope he dies to a warden. I hope gem kills him. 24 AGAIN???!!! NOT WORTH!!! HAHAHAHA. Of course he gets out on his second try, on the middle level in the harder area, and of course no hard parkour. HOW DOES HE DO IT?!?!? OH MY GOD!!!
“Cub walked so that Etho could scoot” - chat.
“Gem is great and Etho is epic!” - gem
He’s trying to meta game the rusty repair kit. Of course. “Stop breaking the immersion nerd! Get in there nerd” - gem. Jock on nerd violence.
The “gem is great” is the first superstition lol
He got so much from rusty!!!
“There’s nobody here” *ravager appears having waited for the right moment*
HE GOT 36!!! MAX FOR LEVEL 2!!! dungeon making up for his previous artifacts. His luck strikes again!! LOOT AND SCOOT IN THE SILK ROAD!! AND HE MAKES IT OUT!!! THE LEGEND!!! 5 tomes, what a flex!!!
AND THEN THE DUNGEON JUST ABSOLUTELY SHOWERS HIM WITH TOMES!!! HAHAHAHAH
The dungeon is definitely in yandere love with Etho.
“I want to see my artifact I haven’t found it yet” - gem
“It’s the keys in the dungeon” - etho who just can’t stop saying words. Talk shit get hit my man.
He just keeps breaking the game.
HOW DOES HE ALWAYS GET LOOT AND SCOOT JUST WHEN HE NEEDS IT??? SCRIPTED!! DEUS EX MACHINA!!!! And then he gets overconfident and gets skill issued in the easy part.
So greedy that he broke the game. And he memorized those ravager locations!!!
Saw in a comment that Etho asked about killing cave spiders to farm them for string for carpets / wool to sneak past the wardens and tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if he considered it.

REBLOGS ARE FINE, REPOSTS ARE NOT
OC time! Well, the first/main ones anyway~
I don't have much info yet, but I know these three are the main focus (really 2 out of these three are the main focus tbh). I have 8 more planned out, and at some point I plan on writing each of these characters having hiccups at some point. It may be a while before I actually write anything, motivation/inspiration is a bitch sometimes, but it's a goal I'm hoping to achieve.
Now a little bit about them so far
We have mystery green-haired cyclops! They're a mystery because I dunno their name yet. I'm open to suggestions, as long as they're gender neutral. They're nonbinary and use they/them pronouns. They're more introverted and they were homeless at some point because [REDACTED].
Then there's our main character Calliope. She's an absolute sweetheart I imagine. She's cis woman and uses she/her pronouns. She's absolutely in love with her partner, green-haired cyclops. She's left-handed, a talented singer, and she's going back to college. To study what? Beats the heck outta me, lol. She's more outgoing, charismatic, and extroverted
And lastly in this trio is Xvari, don't ask me how I thought of this name, I have no idea where I got it from, pfft- *ahem* He's a trans man and uses he/him pronouns. He's immortal and he's some sort of shape-shifting demon? Imp? Honestly, no idea yet, still working out the kinks (hehe, kinks). He likes wearing skirts cuz fuck gender norms. I'm not quite sure what his role in the story is yet, but I do have a few ideas. He's more of the confident/cocky type.
And that's all for now! I'm working on the next batch as we speak. In fact, I just finished the line art, so all that's left is to color them and write some spoiler free introductions for them. :)
Please feel free to ask me anything about them! Whether in the comments, or the askbox, I'll try and respond and be as spoiler free as possible. Gotta keep some stuff secret ;)

A wry tilt to his mandibles as they flare out from his jaw hint at his amusement as she speaks about her ignoring the captain's orders. His extensive research into her had revealed such tendencies in the past - particularly in 'against all odds' situations - and that was part of the very reason he wanted her in the Spectres.
The fact that she's bound to annoy Sparatus to no end with her insubordination is just a bonus in his view.
"If my hardsuit's recordings had survived his attack, it might have been a different story. Sparatus in particular will want irrefutable evidence of Saren's betrayal, but even the audio isn't salvageable," he sighs as he settles down into one of the chairs, shifting awkwardly at first before stretching his legs out to accommodate for his height - while the Normandy might be of turian-human design, apparently not all aspects were quite fitted for a turian to actually be onboard the ship itself.
Forest green eyes narrow slightly in thought at the revelation of his currently believed status in the galaxy, mandibles fluttering once more before settling tightly against his jaw. While he can understand their reasoning for the deception, he can't help but wonder if it will do more harm than help them in the end.
"I will still need to speak to the Council," he notes, a deep growl underlining his words as he looks at her pointedly. "Laiel - Sparatus - will be obligated to report my death to the Hierarchy. And protocol is that a Spectre's status be terminated upon confirmation of their death. So while they're unlikely to take the report as confirmation enough..."
Sighing wearily, he pauses to take a sip of the drink offered to him, humming his thanks before continuing. "Let's just hope bureaucracy is as slow as it typically is and that I don't have to fight to get my own Spectre status reinstated when we arrive at the Citadel. Regardless, once the truth of the deception comes out, not everyone will look on the Alliance favourably for this course of action. While understandable, given Saren's involvement - he may very well look to finish the job once he learns I survived - it does complicate matters in ways I doubt your Captain considered."
@bloodiedbiotic asked: ❝ you don’t know how glad i am to see you made it. here, let me get you a drink. ❞ for nihlus bc that line feels perfect for post-eden prime ♥
Forest green eyes blink slowly, still clearly a bit dazed from the medication Chakwas has him on to reduce the pain, even if she has finally released him from the medbay under strict orders of his being on restricted light duty or else she'll have him dragged right back to the medbay and restrained if necessary. He's always known turian doctors to be rather ruthless in dealing with unruly patients, but even he has to admit he's not willing to risk this unassuming human doctor's wrath.
It's Shepard's words that has his mandibles fluttering with an emotion even he'd have trouble describing, nodding slowly at the offer as he follows her toward the galley. "Appreciated. Though I probably wouldn't have made it if you hadn't called the evac in time..."
It's an uncomfortable truth, even if Saren's shot hadn't been as fatal as the older turian had intended. And given the overall situation, he dreads to see how the Council is going to react to all of this - particularly Sparatus, given his cousin's tendency to dig his talons in and not accept that the galaxy is changing around him in ways he can't control.
"The Council isn't going to want to believe any of this. Saren is one of their best - they're not going to want to hear humanity's accusations against him. I'm not certain even my own testimony will carry much weight, particularly with Sparatus."

Zosan: Late Night Birthday Special
Here it is. Zoro's birthday special. I set this in the AU I have created. Zoro gets a visit from a certain blondie. Just read on and see what I am talking about. Warning: Sexual content.
Zoro sighs as he walks into his swanky condo in Manhattan. Sure, today was his birthday but he purposely ignored all the birthday greetings from the others. Perhaps getting gunned down weeks ago might have made him a little too paranoid.
At first, he suspected Sukuna his rival, sort of friend, and Sanji's ex-lover. But after some investigation, Sukuna was found innocent of all crimes even though he had enough motive to do it as the bastard used to obsess over Sanji and almost killed him on more than one occasion.
As he enters the living room, he sees Sanji lying on the sofa in a seductive manner, dressed in a wine suit. His heart starts pounding. Some things sure do not change.
"Hello Marimo" he says, a playful smirk in place. The way the blonde says that childhood nickname of his often does things to him. Zoro gives him a curt nod, a ghost of a smile tugging at his lips. "Hi Curly."
Sanji slowly gets off the sofa and makes his way towards him. Once Sanji gets close to him, he traces his fingers across his chest, causing shivers to go down Zoro's spine. After all these years, Sanji still held that level of power over him.
Ever since that Sukuna incident that happened five years ago, the couple kept their distance, trying to pick up the pieces of their life. Same applies to the rest of the gang as well.
"You actually came back." Sanji giggles. "I could not stay away for that long darling. Besides, everyone needed that break to you know, recoup from all the drama and b.s. I mean, we were all a bunch of fucking kids. What do kids know?"
Zoro chuckles at that one. He had a point. "That's what happens when you give kids that much power and fame. It can intoxicate you." Sanji grins and wraps his arms around his ex's neck. "A little birdie told me that you do not want to celebrate your birthday."
Zoro sighed. "Yeah. After that shooting, I was not excited." Sanji then leans closer to his ear and whispers, "How about I change all that?" He then proceeds to slowly rub Zoro's crotch. The green-haired heir had to bite his lip. God he missed Sanji and this was one of the reasons why.
"What's the plan babe?"
Sanji smirked. "Glad you asked."
A couple minutes later, the couple are in the limo with their friends. Sanji managed to call the rest of the gang. Not their old friends but rather the new ones they made.
"Hold up?! How did these two end up together?!" Zoro exclaimed, pointing at Gojo and Nami. "Thank Sanji for that." says Gojo. Zoro stares at Sanji who smirks. "Well, how it happened is that Gojo here helped me pay for my dinner after my date stood me up. Sanji heard about that and called him and encouraged him to take me out for a bar date. The rest is history." says Nami as she sips some champagne. Gojo grins and wraps his arms around his new beau. "Best decision ever."
"Who would have thought that the great Gojo could mellow out like this?" says Zoro. "Still the same old Gee. Just a different flavour." says Gojo.
"Heard Usopp got engaged." says Eren. "What?!" Sanji's jaw dropped. "About time tbh." Zoro laughs. Mary flashes the 15 carat diamond ring. "Wooh!! Look at that bling!!" says Sanji. "Usopp got taste." says Gojo, chuckling. Usopp shrugs. "Anything for my princess." he says, kissing Mary on the cheek.
"What about you Luffy? Congrats on that Hollywood Star." says Sanji. The gang applauds Luffy who chuckles. "Thank you!! Thank you!! Much appreciated." says Luffy.
"Do not compliment him too much. His brain might explode." Sabo jokes. "Pfft...like you are one to talk." Everyone laughs. "Don't mind him." says Ace. "He was a sobbing mess that day though," says Shanks. "Who wouldn't be? Like that is a fucking huge honor," says Sanji .
It was great to see the entire gang back together. The last time this happened was 5 years ago and there was a lot of drama then thanks to the old crowd
"He got a point man." says Franky who is smoking a cigarette. "How about a toast ladies and gents?" Sanji suggest. Everyone grabs their glass and toasts to Zoro who grins at Sanji and then leans closer to him and whispers in his ear, "Thanks for this babe." Sanji smirks. "Anything for you my love." With that, the duo seal it with a kiss. "Aww." the girls all cooed. "Took them both long enough." Gojo jokes. Everyone laughs. Zoro smirks. Tonight was going to be a long night.
After hours of nonstop clubbing and partying, everyone heads home. "I cannot remember the last time we have had this much fun together." says Zoro as he and Sanji walk back into his condo.
"This is why I arranged all this for you Daddy." Hearing Sanji call him Daddy after all these years was enough to work wonders on his ever growing bulge. Without hesitation, Zoro pulls Sanji closer and begins to kiss those lips of his hungrily.
Sanji obliges him in kind, letting out a moan in response. "God I fucking miss you!!" The two start stripping and throwing their clothes around as they make a race to the bedroom.
Sanji gets on all fours on the bed and wiggles his ass. "Come get me big boy." Zoro chuckled and proceeds to lick and eat out Sanji's ass, earning more moans from the blonde.
He could have kept at it til Sanji came on the sheets but he would rather have his dick in that ass and fuck him senseless. Grabbing the lube from the bedside drawer, he pours some on his dick.
Once he was satisfied, he pushes his bulge into his lover who lets out a loud gasp. "F-Fuck...."
"Damn you are as tight as ever!!" He then begins to fuck the living daylights of Sanji who is reduced to a screaming, moaning mess. Normally, he owuld take it nice and slow but he knows Sanji well enough to know how impatient the blonde can get.
He keeps on going, trying to find that spot that he knows would drive Sanji crazy.
"Fuck!! Right there!!"
Zoro smirks and proceeds to keep on hitting that spot. Eventually, Sanji cums screaming his lover's name. Zoro follows suit and moans cumming hard into Sanji.
Once they were done, Zoro pulls out out of his lover and lies down on the bed. Sanji crawls towards him and liesdown next to him and cuddles him.
"Happy birthday Daddy." says Sanji. Zoro smiles and kisses Sanji on the forehead. "I owe you one babe." Best present ever.
What do you guys think?

- sunaoshi shimada
Not much but someone who will be his partner in crime will be great, someone who can keep up with his risky plan and still love him always eventho after he get possessed with his mask. Yk what no please help him get rid of the mask it's not like his future significant other can handle two person at the same time, unless–
- poki tamanaha
He like someone who have a fascinating look and a unique personality, someone who really beautiful, stunning and etc. He doesn't care about personality since he only go after good looking people.

Someone who will feel entertaining with his small show and his talent. Someone who didn't judge him or thing he's weird or anything. Probably like a ordinary girl since he want someone who normal that can keep him sane.
- senju date
She like someone who have good personality and very charming, someone who muscular and strong something like that. But tbh her case it's just like oujirou she doesn't care about it to much.
- Enri yoneda
She's very insecure with herself so she never thought about her types at all. She just wondering if there anyone who take her as example for their type. Probably no one lol
- Dohri goto
Man if that person wasn't weird she will be grateful af lmaoo

i’m back with another question 😎 i haven’t been able to figure it out but do u know about how much time has passed in the current arc?
Oh, ah. Hm. Um.
Ok I'll tell you my best guess but tbh I'm not even completely sure. If anyone has a better estimate than what I'm about to give, then please feel free to add onto this!
Anyways, in chapter 70, Mushitarou reveals the DoA plans to write on the back of the single page of the Book at the next full moon, which gives the Agency, Lucy and Ango ten days from that point to get the Page from them.
Everything that happens after, from Sky Casino, to the reveal of Kamui, to the SSKK fight, to the Infection Arc, to the Prison Arc... that's all happening within that time frame. I'm expecting we're close to the end of that timeframe now with the fight over One Order, which, aided by the Page, would be a devastating combination. Rewriting both minds and reality... you could pretty much do whatever you wanted.
Before Mushitarou's rescue, there's at least some span of time between the Agency's framing and that point. The clash with the Hunting Dogs happens on the same day - since if they wait until night the military will have a perimeter blocking them off. The Mafia rescue also happens on the same day. Atsushi and Kyouka go to find Fitzgerald on the same day too and the transfer with Mitchell is... also the same day. Wow these people are efficient I could never.
So, I think Mushitarou's rescue is the next day. Just a guess honestly, but it'd make sense because there'd have to be some preparation there.
In conclusion, the thing I can't wrap my mind around the most is that this means Dazai was probably only in prison for... a week and a half? Maybe two weeks at most.
He's still in jail! It's been years! we're all saying, and then it's been like. A few days for him. Pfft.
#thanks for the ask!#i hope this helped? tbh i'm not sure what the exact timeline is either#bsd#storyrambles#again feel free to add to this if i've missed something

meh, its ok he honestly feels like a cousin, im not planning on telling my family that because yikes....
jd does have older sibling syndrome just like raph, they might bond. over what i dunno. lol that would be a weird cross over. pfft, poppy trying to cheer up all the tutlres after the krang invasion offering them all hugs. raph would freeze since shes so tiny compared to him
this might help, though cricket does live alone in thw woods, cause the timeline is a little confusing. the bergens find the pop trolls and puts them in the troll tree. then the brozone break up happens, but they also dont make any known references to having been in the troll tree with the burgens. thats whats confusing about it. from there its kinda easy, grandma rosiepuff gets eaten, when i think branch is 7 (thats how old he looks but troll age is weird). acually now that i got this far no. no the timline is so fucked. because they used 20 years for both the brozone break up and the trolls escaping the bergens.
welp... scrap that. cricket can make friends with the creatures that live in the woods, if youve seen the cartoons theres tons of animal type creatures. like puffilo, theyre basicly sheep. bugs definitely should make animal comparisons. definitely gives off the vides of like gardening and has shelfs filled with herbs and plants. has like scrapbooks with how to make potions, not for bad things. and this kinda stuff is how he keeps his cool and feel less alone.
-🤖
SOBBBSSSS IM IMAGINIGN THEM DISCUSSING IT RN OKAY WAAA
Sorry for the late response btw, i've just been busy ;-;
Oh he ABSOLUTELY tries to make friends with anything and eveything. I think since he didn't turn grey it was more of the genre change that was the visualization of like- lonliness and stuff, since bug's no longer a pop troll :D
Also Cricket does eventually go back, sort of like the brozone situation, but I'm not sure how it will play out :/ everybody probably thought it was dead tbh since no one heard anything from Cricket since he left ://// exept maybe Floyd LMAO
I imagine he'd try and visit at least once cause them being friends is imposrtant to me LMAO
also you're right the timeline is so fucked up but I'm not even mad cause this movie has been the best one so far i don't even care that it completely screwed the timeline over LMAO
Sorry I'm rambling btw I'm real tiered I just wanted to answer this cause I had mor troll stuff to post

so that archon quest, huh. Would be absolutely thrilled to hear what u have to say about fontaine act V :] i love all your takes on furina & neuvillette & fontaine as a whole, and of course childe [pretty much an honorary fontanian with how he unintentionally got wrapped up in everything whoops]
Oh boy, I have so many thoughts. To start with some non-spoilerly stuff: I loved it so much. I'm not sure if I'll say it's my favorite Archon Quest yet (I think I would have to go through some of the older ones), but I think it's safe to say Fontaine overall as an arc is my favorite. Even its weakest part (the prison stuff, tbh it was a pacing issue) was still really solid and the ending, while not perfect, really landed. Genshin continued the trend from Sumeru of having the playable characters really take the stage and god there were some great standouts (Navia/Neuvi/Furina to name my favs, but I also loved my fatui and there really isn't anyone I've disliked). And well, the quest (and Furina's chara quest) made me cry like a baby, so that's a win.
Tbh, I think my biggest issue, wasn't even really an issue with the story but just a case of I had a very clear idea of what I wanted out of it (the woes of writing speculative fic pfft) and when it wasn't that I'm like "awww darn". Thats on me, and I genuinely really loved what we got, but it do be like that sometimes haha.
Spoilers below, oh boy (also my Furina fic spoilers too lol).
Eldritch abomination Furina I'll mourn u forever. I can't complain because Furina splitting herself in two to go fuck u to the heavens is such a boss ass move I can't haha. Okay, but I will say, even if I'm probably the only one, I do wish they brought some Remuria stuff up in the main quest. They had the perfect set up with Ajax being there with his Greek myth references and just ahhhh, one can hope they do something with it later. But yes, just know it's my silly headcanon that Focalors just lied about being an Oceanid to Neuvi and is one of King Remus's fucked up Primordial Sea experiments that maybe caused the Abyss rift at the fall of Remuria.
But yes, Furina, Furina, I'm crying. She really destroyed the girl failure accusations in the most glorious way possible. She literally didn't fail once (either of her), she plotted out a plan to trick the heavens, give back what was stolen, and save her people and she did it perfectly. As you're probably well aware, I'm a big fuck u Celestia gal, so it was just so satisfying to see her just obliterate the throne (even when I was crying haha). And honestly, super relevant to the state of the real world, but her giving back sovereignty to Neuvi in my mind is a very clear decolonization metaphor. Ages past descenders came to Teyvat, killed the dragons and created their own order, and now Focalors is returning that power back to said dragon (or well, the dragon's heir, it's a bit vague if Neuvi's literally the old dragon's soul reincarnated or just the body).
The entire scene between Neuvi and Focalors was great, though I will admit I have one issue with it (and even then I go back and forth on it haha). Neuvi in that scene doesn't have a big attachment to Focalors. What I mean is that ultimately Neuvi only ever knew Furina (which side note I'll get into this next, but I do view them as the same person, but still), and with Focalors' 'death' he's not technically losing anything, the person he's sad over will still be there. Like don't get me wrong, he's very empathetic and can be sad over this person who is dying for them, but I feel like it could have been even more heartbreaking if he had met Furina/Focalors before the split, or he had interacted with Focalors somehow in the past, and so in this moment he wasn't just watching Furina's sacrifice, but the sacrifice of someone he shares memories with. But that's me being picky haha and not really a critique on the writing.
But yes, Furina! Focalors! As I previewed before, I'm going to come out swinging with a possibly hot take. They are, and always were the same person. Yes, Focalors is the divinity, but as we see after Furina is allowed to rest her persona, Furina is also super mature and knowledgeable. In Neuvi's flashback quotes of Furina, it's her softly giving important advice about living with humanity, which is what Focalors was all about. And much like Furina, Focalors loves preforming, she loves humans, she gets all excited about Furina and her future, and is sad she won't get to experience it.
Not to remotely downplay Furina's suffering (because holy shit my poor girl), but Focalors too played her role. Unlike Furina who had Neuvillette and all her friends post this, Focalors was all alone in the Oratrice, waiting for the day she had to kill herself. Furina, has the promise of a future, despite all the suffering she endured to get there. She gets the reward of a happy life as a human surrounded by people who love her, and while it was touch a go for a bit, she was told one day her play would end. In contrast, while Focalors didn't have the same anxiety that Furina had, Focalors knew from the beginning she would never get to see her people saved. Technically she, like Furina, didn't even know if it would even happen. She put her faith in Neuvillette to follow through, and while she had the utmost faith in him, she could never know for certain. But much like her mirror Furina, Focalors weighed her suffering over the people of Fontaine's, and never once faltered. Furina was willing to possibly kill herself via primordial seawater in order to keep up her ruse, whose to say Focalors wasn't the same. Smiling at Neuvillette until the last moment because she couldn't risk him interfering, hiding away her anxieties and sorrow, so he wouldn't look so sad. Furina's performance ended, Focalors' never will.
Focalors was so certain she couldn't be human, but as we see from the Oceanids it was totally possible. And even more vitally, we see from the other Archons it's possible. They might fumble around a bit (some more than others, looking at u Ei), but they are learning and immersing themselves with their people. While not an Archon, it's the same with Neuvillette. Focalors should have had the same opportunities as Furina and the rest (mostly because she is Furina), but the world isn't kind, and that's why her sacrifice hurts.
If u can't tell I have a lot of feelings about Focalors/Furina and while I can appreciate a joke about Focalors giving Furina anxiety, I'm also like, they are literally the same person working together, she deserves the world (all of her).
But yes, I can go on and on about Furina, but for now I'll move onto our boy Childe. To get it out of the way, a little disappointed that we really got no answers about him. Poor guy didn't really have any lines. Also, not big on Skirk's design, mostly the outfit. Putting her next to Dain and uh, yeah (like don't get me wrong don't mind the color scheme and all, but could she not have gotten some kind of armor. Or look more like Foul Legacy or something idk).
But onto more happier notes, I'm so happy to see Childe finally getting to do well in a fight. I know it's a meme for him to get beaten up, but my dude is the Vanguard, let him win sometimes (he doesn't technically win here, but he was fighting an eldritch whale monster for ages and helped save Fontaine, I'm giving it to him). And Skirk, while her design is mostly less to be desired, I'm winning on guessing her hair and eye color haha. Also, while I'll always love my version, I'm liking her personality so far. Her yeeting Childe, while I admit took me out a bit (I thought she threw him farther into the Abyss and was like, "uh guys, yall worried about my poor boy here???" and then was a bit baffled at them saying he was fine) was so fucking funny. It's cool to learn "Foul Legacy" refers to a literal person, and I found the fact that Skirk's relationship with Foul is basically the same as her relationship with Childe very amusing. And it seems she's Khaenri'ahn, maybe? Also, I thought she was listing off her master's other names at first, so when she said Gold I got super hyped that I guessed correctly about the narwhal being Rhine's in my fic, but then they were like nope pfft. I'll take it as a win.
Sidenote, Alice and Rhine where are yoooouuuuuu.
Ultimately, while I enjoyed the Childe and Skirk stuff, it really just feels like a set-up for later stuff. Which isn't really a problem, but I was hoping we'd get something a bit more concrete. Like, I thought we were going to get answers about the "it" that Skirk saw in him, and it would have to do with the Narwhal, but now it seems those were mostly unrelated??? While I did find baby Ajax accidentally waking up a big world eating monster up kind of hilarious, it did feel a little incidental, if that makes any sense. Like, Fontaine's doom was an accident and not the result of anyone's choices. But that might just be a me thing. (and the quest needed more Arle, where was she??? my not really based on anything theory is that whenever we get Furina (or maybe Nevui's) 2nd character quest, Arle will be the boss fight. A reverse of the normal final Harb boss fight during the Archon quest)
Okay, because I really don't want to end on a downer (as I said uptop, I genuinely adored this quest haha), here are some minor spoilers from the Narzissenkreuz Ordo quest that have me by a chokehold.
I wasn't ready for a sudden Ajax. What does this mean??????
And this one just makes me laugh. Whichever Ordo member wrote this, I vehemently disagree with u and am on Khaenri'ah's side with this one. I'd much rather have bread then some higher power nonsense. In my fic I tend to write Khaenri'ah more akin to a modern nation than a fantasy one, and its nice to see me vindicated pfft.
Other random notes, enjoyed that the Fatui weren't just cartoonishly evil in both the main and world quests. I like some nuance. I saw that Sandrone hint, that was fun. Though it makes me wonder when we'll get Columbina lore (especially because if the theory about Harbinger boss fight order based on the Constellation circle is true, she should be showing up soon. Though also I half think that order will break because if it doesn't, it means Sandrone will probably be the final Harb boss which is an odd choice.) As revealed on Furina's weapon, Egeria being around during Remuria raises so many questions around the timeline of events. Genshin pls tell me when the Archon war takes place in all this pls (if they tell us in some lore I haven't read yet, whoops). (also on egeria, I mourn my version but hey, she exists in my heart and in my fics pfft. I can't wait to write her in smfwtwd and venti fic, though she's getting a new name for confusion and better symbolsism)
the contrast between Neuvi and Furina after the quest is so funny and sad. Neuvi "Furina is the best, I want her to be happy". Furina, "Everyone hates me, Neuvillette most of all, I can never face him again." And the other Archons, they are all like Furina, wow u are so cool (which just highlights Neuvi's utter disdain for them other than Nahida haha).
And most vitally, Furina and Venti should be best friends. Musically inclined performers who definitely aren't plotting to overthrow the heavens. I think they are neat (they also both have Latin names!).
#avem rambling#avem's asks#I could probably go on forever#but I'll restrain myself pfft#also still making my way through the exploration#finished the ordo the fairy and the missing pelican quests#but my exploration in general is still low#I like taking my time#like I took my time answering this ask pfft#as u can tell I have to many thoughts lol

Fuck the shit off.
I can see how the whole 'Assault wooing Battery' bits (that we see) don't age well, especially since Assault really is the whole reason she got powers, for revenge, etc, but I mean... a TV show where the start of it is Battery getting powers to go after Madcap, and somewhere in the middle she captures him and he switches sides and they eventually get together...
I mean, that would work pretty well. People would ship it hard.
In real life, wearing the other person down is... generally not a good idea, especially in a workplace environment and the age difference between them, etc.
In fiction... it's okay. I'm not someone who gets worked up over that, tbh. I can see why some people look in askance at it, why WB himself (from what I gather) is not totally thrilled with it. But I don't mind it. People's perceptions change.
Arguably we could have done to see more of their relationship development, for it to land better, but the point of the Interlude isn't really that, it's more ancillary.
Though WB, when he does an Interlude right, is usually doing about four things at once with it.
When he does an Interlude right. When he does it wrong, he's doing either (at best) one thing, or like, twenty-six things all at once, which is a bit too many, to say the least.
But also, no, Cauldron, the Siberian surviving doesn't advance your plans, sweet jesus why the fuck those two. Jack Slash and Bonesaw would make more sense.
WHY SHATTERBIRD? What, you think she can be used against Scion? Pfft

my ateez fansign experience in copenhagen 🫶
here’s a little write up of my fansign experience with ateez, it may be long so be aware if you want to read it all sdkjfgnr
hongjoong
so hongjoong was the first teezer (thank god tbh he has such a calming presence). he asked me how i was and i told him i was super good and he brightened up with ”AH SUPER GOOD?” and i told him obvs bc i was here with them. then he asked me if i had slept and i said barely, and he asked me ”how do you look so good then” 😭 i told him i’d had a red bull and coffee and he laughed before shaking his head like nO NO TOO MUCH CAFFEINE IT’S BAD FOR YOU, he then proceeded to ask me if i had eaten and i told him the fansign group chat (30 of us) were going out to dinner after the fansign and he looked around super shocked (see screenshot) that we were all friends, and asked me where i was from, probably to check if we all came from the same place, but i told him we met on twt and he also said thank u for coming here from sweden sdjkfngjg he told me he liked our organization with the group chat and all.
wooyoung
oh wooyoung, little wooyoung. first of all, the birthmark on his lip… or dot, as he would call it……. i’m obsessed, it’s so obvious up close. not like i was looking at his lips pfft. BUT ANYWAY. i sat down in front of him and he greeted me with the brightest ’HIIII’ and i asked him how he was, the usual, told him i was nervous bc this was my first time, and he, in his typical wooyoung high pitched voice went, ”AHHH FIRST TIME? NICE SEEING YOU” and asked me if i was coming to the concert. i said yes obviously, he asked me if i was from denmark but i told him sweden and he repeat sweden in the cutest way ever… i s2g. he asked me for my favorite song to which i replied horizon, and he immediately started talking about how he likes turbulence but it’s apparently sad bc it makes atinys cry alot so i told him it’s good that they’re ending this tour with the real so we can party and he just ”AHH YEAH TRADITIONAL KOREAN SOUND YOU LIKE??” and i told him it’s also one of my favorites akjgdkjrg.
san
mr choi san. he was SO BEAUTIFUL UP CLOSE. like unbelievable. they all are but something about san is just?????? surreal. but anyway, said hi how are you all of that, i told him i may almost start crying bc i got emotional there all of a sudden and he just ’it’s okay it’s okay’. so i took a deep breath and then i told him some meaningful things that i won’t get into detail about and he just sat there softly smiling the entire time 😭 he thanked me for coming, and that knowing his atinys are happy and loved, makes him happy. he then proceeded to tell me i had big, beautiful kind eyes (S I R? IN THIS ECONOMY?) and that he wanted eyes like that because he always thinks his eyes are so small, especially on stage and he looked at his eyes in the mirror they had, did a little grimace and then proceeded to show me how he thought his eyes were small (see screenshot), and i told him no, they’re beautiful as they are and the kindest eyes and he thanked me 🫶
seonghwa
PARK SEONGHWA. ethereal human being, who’s probably not even a human being lbr, he’s too pretty to be human. we said hello, how are you, all of that, i told him i’m nervous and he chuckled a little, told him his cardigan looked pretty and fluffy and he did a smug lil shrug while putting his tongue out (SEONGHWA?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?) (see screenshot) and then told me i looked pretty too (bye writing this from the grave). i asked him, since we were in the land of lego, if he had had time to go to the lego store yet and he said he had been there the day before so i asked him if he had bought a lot now and he said no because his suitcase is already too full with clothes 😭😭😭 i told him we (i) really enjoyed his lego lives and asked him if he was going to at least show and/or build what he got yesterday on live, and he said that he was planning a live later that night but that it was a secret 🫡 and the time went by a little too fast for him tbh.
yeosang
oh yeosang. yeeeeosang beloved my most beloved. i sat down and we said our hello’s, and then he looked at me and just OH FANSIGN? VIDEO CALL ONE? ONE TIME? (see screenshot) bc he apparently remembered me and i instantly fucking melted on the spot bc what the FUCK. he told me it was nice meeting me in person now and thanking me for coming, then he asked if i had eaten and i again told him about the group chat dinner. and he lit up and told me an atiny before had said that a group of atinys were going to go out and eat korean food, and he was planning on inviting himself, asking me if he could come and i was like.. sir i’ll sign the nda right now let’s fucking go we don’t need to wait. i know we talked some more but i genuinely can’t remember what it was 😭 he’s just so pretty in real life.
mingi
ahhh mr mingi. looking as handsome as ever, and even more so up close. we did the usual how are you thing, i told him i’m good bc i’m seeing him and he said same. and then i proceeded to tell him how he’s my bestie’s ult bias (bc i legit did not know what else to say bc he was just staring me down and i lost focus ksfjngjrg) and i told him all the good things i know she’s wanted to say to him and instead of saying thanks, he looks me dead in the eye and just says ”you too? same?” KSDJNFKJNF YEAH OK UR MY ULT BIAS NOW IDC ME TOO SAME SURE SURE (kidding) and then he told me my hair looked nice and i said the same about him, and he told me my eyes keep shifting/moving (see screenshot) and i was like… sir i’m nervous pls don’t call me out like this 😭 he asked me if i was going to the concert and then told me he’d see me there 🫡
jongho
oh man. i just want you all to know that this man is 500x more beautiful up close, in real life. like he really is just out of this world pretty and i had manifested for him to wear glasses for this AND HE DID ksjfdngkj ok anyway i sat down and said hi, he asked me how i was so i took the chance to be like ”i’m really good bc i’m talking to you” (the line he always uses on evERYONE) and he was like ”nO THAT’S MY MENT YOU ALWAYS TAKE MY MENT” (bc i took it last time during our call in october too??? so he remembered?? 😭😭😭) and he was like ”ask me” and i asked him how he was and he very firmly said ”i’m good because i’m talking to you”. i told him we’d talked three times before so it’s extra special seeing him like this and he thanked me for coming, i told him i wish i could’ve brought a gift and he was sad about that. and oBVIOUSLY i had to compliment his glasses and told him he looks good in them and that he should wear them more often, and he touched his glasses, pointed at mine and said ”you look good too bc we are the same” bc our glasses were similar 😭 (see screenshot) unfortunately my clip with him is not good bc the person filming was sitting right in front of us so i’m blocking him the entire time 😭
yunho
YUNHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. yunho was the only member i totally blanked on. completely. i sat down and the first thing i said was ”hi you look handsome” lika a FOOL. but he said ”really? thank you, i’m shy” and held his lil face (see screenshot) i’m fucking WEEPING. like i said, i blanked and i told him i did and he immediately picked up the conversation and asked me if i was coming to the concert, i said yes and told him i’d try to be front row for him and he did the cutest lil face (see screenshot) as if he was conspiring with me to keep me at barricade. he then asked me my favorite song and i said ’horizon’, and then i joked that he probably expected ’cyberpunk’ bc everyone always says that and he did the starting pose of cyberpunk and said atinys like it bc it’s so sexy and dangerous 😭 (you haven’t lived until you’ve heard him say sexy and dangerous) but i told him no, for me it’s horizon and that i love his part in it (you know the one where he runs and jumps). and he just started singing ”i believe i can flyyyy” took a break to LAUGH THE CUTEST THING EVER and then continued ”i believe i can touch the sky” and then it was over 😭 ending on a high note with yunho.
but like the entire experience was so good. the staff were SUUUUUUUPER NICE and lovely. the members did five photo poses instead of three for photo time so naturally we were their favorites 🤝 and idk. i’m still absolutely reeling from the experience like i was so so nervous but i really had no reason to be, because they were just absolutely amazing, each and every one of them and those two hours went by a little too fast.

How many Stellar Jades you got saved up for Sunday?
(I think he’ll be playable it’s just not his time to shine yet. Bc there’s no way the Hoyo won’t make him playable especially when he’s Robin’s brother. Also he has that certain design where you just know that he’ll be a playable character you know? I wish you the best of luck of E6ing him if/when he comes out.)
{Btw did you get the 4-star Erudition LC of Sunday?)
I’m def keeping an eye out but tbh Sunday didn’t rlly do it for me so his kit would have to be rlly good for me to pull him 🙂↕️🙂↕️ im way more interested in screwllum who’s had abt the same amount of screentime in the leaks LOL but……. rn im v much interested in feixiao, and if i get her ill wanna go for robin, AND i have to be thinking about a potential jing yuan rerun + i plan to get boothill’s lc on his rerun so. Sunday is very low on my priorities pfft

Prompt #1
The villain had a smug look on their face "Well well is our little hero tired?" their cold, glaring eyes looked down upon the hero. They were on their knees with blood splattered on their cheek, their hands trembled with blood on them also. ". . . what have you made me do?" The hero asked in a small,wobbly voice. "Hm, what did you say? I couldn't quite hear you darling" The villain stated "What have you made me do?!" the hero exclaimed angrily with tears forming in their eyes. "Pfft- hahahah!" the villain laughed crazily "What did I do for you to shed some blood? You did this on your own" the villain noted. "What?" "You heard me, it wasn't part of my plan." The hero couldn't believe what they're hearing "I- I didn't even do it intentionally-!" "I didn't even set you up, I wonder how this even happened" "Liar! Liar! I would never I swear to the world I'm protecti-" "You? Protecting the world. for what?" the villain seemed to be getting irritated by these stupid statements. "For the innocent people, What do you mean for what?!" The hero gritted their teeth "I wonder how many problems are caused by these.. 'innocent' people." The villain said sarcastically then sighed for a moment "Oh wait! A lot." the villain said "We have pollution, abuse, murder, robberies, global warming.. I can go on" the villain noted. The hero couldn't take this anymore "I-it doesn't matter! I still need to save the world from your filthy, slimy hands! I need to do what I'm expected to do you bastard" the villain's eyes curved in a smile "How amusing.." They, the hero, had enough. They took off their mask suddenly and the other stared in disbelief "(heroes real name)..?" the hero was shocked the villain knew their real name "How did you-?" the villain suddenly dropped down to their knees. "I can't believe it's you.. after all these years! I've been try to find you." The villain admitted in a soft spoken manner "I missed you, where have you been?" they started tearing up a little. The hero was surprised to see the villain tearing up then realized ".. (villain's real name)?" . . . Yippie first post :DD I was planning on making this a romantic thing but I didn't feel like it.. Please correct my grammer if you need to! My english isn't too good :c If you want a part 2 please leave a comment!!! Also tbh this is my first time writing my own trope.. i think

THE ENTIRE THING DUDE XD I think it mentions in the note how it was technically a wip from... a year before? Two years before...? I had known when I wrote it that I wanted to do a social commentary Alice in Wonderland style, and I knew that I needed to draw from the Oddinary trailer in how I did it, and I had stopped back then right after Felix meets Seungmin... because I honestly wasn't sure how I could outdo Felix meeting Jisung XD His scene and the message he has was just built up so well... when I revisited it, I just had to let go of my own expectations and keep pushing ahead tbh I had to accept that some of the commentary would be more overt or more subtle and that was that! The time honestly did help in giving me a fresh perspective... I won't ever remember exactly what my initial idea with Felix's backstory completely was, but I'd been able to absorb other types of media between then, and there was one star wars media scene that ended up playing really well into what Felix's backstory is now!
OH WHAT A BEAUTY THAT ONE! I'm so so glad you enjoy it!! One of my first little works!! Fun fact, wrote a majority of that before my anatomy lectures when I'd get to campus early haha Anyway! Hmm I can't say that there were? I didn't have much planned for that work outside the first scene-- directly inspired by some httyd series scenes (Race to the Edge in particular... I think it's Heather who has this rendezvous?) But after I got to the "Let's join forces!" of MinChan at the end of the first section, I decided I couldn't leave it at that. I was still the sort of fic writer that needed everything to have an ending of sorts (HAHA NOT ANYMORE XP) I did have this vague idea to include Chan's siblings more...? Or have flashbacks to Minho's life before everything was destroyed...? But as I had these thoughts they were quickly steered into what the story wanted to be-- there was very little planning for that story and a lot of going where the muse took me scene by scene XD [goes to quickly reread and OOF THAT LIA BIT HITS HARDER WITH HER HIATUS T-T] I can think of one thing! I had this idea of Jeongin-Felix-Chaeryeong stepping into knighthood in their own rights, with the memory of their parents and the courage Chan left them with. It didn't ever fit into the flow of the story, but they would've been brave, bold, and daring in their own way, and they would've either remade or forged a new sword to give Chan that Chan would've given to one of them to carry on the legacy of their parents. But it would've taken away from MinChan so I didn't even explore it lol
Pfft you know you're not the first to tell me you adore MinhoxYena banter scenes? My sister is also quite fond of them XD I think hers is when they're chopping wood outside and banter? They're adorable I love them haha Hmmmm... I know when writing, Haewon's back injury chapters all hinged on the imagery of Chan bringing her into the pool gingerly and then when she's healed the two of them being so full of joy-- so the fact that two whole chapters were built on that is a bit XD Also, an unfair advantage over yall, but Yeji giving birth is vivid in my head but unwritten lol so if it had been written that prolly would have been one too XP I reread to see if I have a fav scene and UH NOPE IT'S A COLLECTION OF MY FAV SCENES JUST STRINGED ONE AFTER THE OTHER :D
What scene in DoOrDie took the longest to write? What was difficult about it?
Did you have any ideas that didn’t make the final cut of Silent Cry (your minchan dragon one-shot that i absolutely adore)?
Do you have a favorite scene you’ve written from your wolves vignette series? mine's where minho pretends to hurt his hand while working on the roof, to which yena gets annoyed (+ all their other banter scenes ^^)
Sample problem as last time T-T
Answer in reblog!!!!
