Electoral Prince Oscar

+ process

Included the different layers of hair I do because the hair is always this nebulous thing until I get to the fourth layer or so lol. Also wow no rough sketch!! I wanted to draw him in this AU, but I also wanted to practice drawing real people. I've mentioned this before about drawing but. It's so odd how you feel like drawing a certain thing(in this case, being able to draw a person directly without too much thought) is impossible, and then you reach a point where you're easily doing it without thinking.

As for Oscar's place in this AU. I'm still a little unsure if I'd like him to be a King/Prince of some Italian state(some of which are part of the HRE atp) or if I'd like him to be a Prince Electorate. For now, as you can see, I went with an Electoral Prince, which is the heir to a Prince Electorate. And what is that, you ask. Basically the guys who were apart of the Imperial Diet/Electoral College in charge of electing the Holy Roman Emperor. Getting farther into is too complicated because even I really only started understanding it pretty recently. I haven't decided too much about his role because hes part of a whole other generation, HOWEVER. The plot would probably be something along the lines of him coming to have a "residency" in Seb's court in order to learn more about the buearacracy and his future involvement. Mark is very much an empty nester atp, and eagerly accepts Oscar as his pupil and is eager to show him the ropes. Oscar is shrewd and already politically apt from a young age, but he's very happy to hang around Mark as his mentor, as there's always more to learn! ...among other reasons

For the psychopaths on AO3 that write the amount of chapters they'll finish their fic with:

what supernatural foresight do you have in your hamster-burrowed-spaghetti-wired brain that you can tell you'll finish your 100k slow burn, enemies-to-lovers Fairy/Demon AU in 8 chapters?? I wanna know

i just think ... ren’s journey is riddled with a deep-seated "identity crisis", a constant struggle between who he is now and the legacy yingxing left behind.

he knows how to kill, to fight, to cut down enemies with precision. that’s second nature. but the life he left behind, the life of yingxing, is the one he secretly wishes people would remember him for. the life he should have lived and died with. it’s unclear if he even realizes the impact he once had: his craftsmanship is revered, preserved, and respected, even today. there are people who still remember him as yingxing and who hold his work in high regard, viewing it as unmatched and irreplaceable. few others in history have had their skills held up to the caliber of yingxing's as a genuine compliment.

though ren may never be able to forge a weapon in the same way again, he still attempts smaller creations, working painstakingly to complete projects that once would have taken him hours or days but now take weeks, sometimes months. his determination is unyielding, even when the frustrations mount. the reputation yingxing built, hard-earned and widely celebrated, is one of the few remnants that somewhat survived everything ren has endured. people still speak of yingxing with admiration, including those who met him only briefly, heard stories of him, or simply beheld his creations.

even yunli calls him yingxing, not ren/blade, reminding him of the stories passed down about him. it’s precisely these reminders that make it hard to accept a simplistic view of ren as just another hunter or a ruthless killing machine. those who knew yingxing continue to honor his memory and his talent, no matter what ren may have done to land a bounty on his head. now i'm not saying he's done nothing wrong, ren certainly earned that bounty, and it’s not about painting him as some untainted hero—but it’s clear he’s layered and complex, with a legacy that runs much deeper than his current life might suggest.

Sloth/Mahiru 👀

One of my favorite ships ever :3

I feel silly so you can get little chunk of the fic. As a treat. No smut tho, that'll be for Ao3.

----

It had only been a normal day. Busy, yes, but normal. Running errands, tidying up the house and putting the laundry up to dry. He’d even gotten to the store in time for a few good sales all while Kuro was either on his head or lazing on the couch with a game in hand. There was nothing that could have warned him– He had only been trying to figure out what Kuro wanted for dinner. Walking over to the couch in the dim warm atmospheric lighting Kuro had ordered to bathe their plain apartment in, leaning over the top of the couch to peer at him.

He had only asked a simple question no different from anything he’d say any other day. But when Kuro had looked up at him to answer, something stopped him, his mouth just barely hanging open to make some strange sound. The light in his eyes glazed over in an instant and it felt like he barely had time to blink before a smile too big engulfs his face and his body drips and changes as he sits up.

And lunged.

His Servamp’s body was no longer his own and its host was laid to sleep in some unseen darkness, made unaware of anything Sloth may do. Unable to awaken on his own Kuro was dragged into the deafening depths of the demon’s head and Mahiru was left defenseless and for the taking. It’s surprising the Eve hadn’t gone insane. Seeing your partner’s body being taken control over and morph into something else that wanted to suck you in and devour you. If he weren’t so familiar, or perhaps if he were just anyone else, he would have lost his mind and person a long time ago.

The last thing he remembers before he got taken was the sight of that normally lazy body contorting. The feeling of clawed hands brushing against his skin and pulling him in and the feeling of something warm and plush pressed against his lips. He comes to tight in the embrace of his demon with their lips still locked together and a tongue pushing past his teeth, wading above the pitch black ground of his domain.

He really needs to set some more ground rules for these impromptu visits.

----

Mahiru's not going to be able to sit down properly in the morning, let alone be able to walk or stress about cleaning an already spotless house or running around town doing things for other people. Which is exactly what Sloth wanted! :D

Omg you're back again hello 👀 how have you been????

Big mood on the "man I wish this author would finish their fic" LOL I've been rereading my own wiring recently and going wtf. Where's the rest of it?

For a limited time only babyyy

But I've been good. Extremely busy but it's okay, the pto is worth it. That's what I keep telling myself at least :) but how are you??? Is anything interesting happening? New developments perhaps 👀

The funny thing is that I've actually been talking with a few mutuals, and they've all told me that they recently went back to re-read their drafts. Maybe it's something in the air or we're all feeling a bit nostalgic? Or because everyone is on break since it's summer.

I took down my 18+ Jack/Sally fic cause I hated it and a review kind of summed up all my problems with it that made me realize I shouldn't have kept it up for as long as I did.

But I've gotten like 5+ people who have asked for the fic in this time and it makes me wonder if I should try rewriting it a bit sooner just for people who enjoyed the concept

[themyscirah]

I very much know this is because Jessica Cruz's origin story was written by Geoff Johns in a shitty comic, but by God is there so much going on there. Like damn.

Like there's the really, genuinely compelling stuff, for example the presence of ring horror and loss of control w Jess and Power Ring/Volthoom + the implications of that (character wise, both before and after JL 50) which is just SO interesting (and angsty!) to me personally

But then there's also more plot holes than you can shake a stick at as well (where did Jess get her ring. Guys it just showed up who died where did she get it from GUYS-)

All interspersed between some of the worst character writing for other Justice League members in existence (Wondy fans you know what I mean) and crazy ass plots out there

Watching Avatar the Last Airbender...

Politely reminded of the time people wanted my head because I said that ATLA ruined storytelling because some people can't fucking think critically of media before trying to tell you what's so good about it.

I LOVE AtLA! Adore it! But like.... A majority of people watched Zuko switch sides and said, "Damn... What if we redeemed ALL the villains?" Without realizing Zuko wasn't a true villain in need of redemption.

But... The Redemption Game isn't truly JUST the fault of AtLA... There was a shift in the Moral of the Story. Idk how to explain it bc I'm half asleep, but like...
