My first entry for @ockissweek 2025! Today's prompt is "desperate", so here, have Chryso planting one on Elinn, his second-in-command, confidant, and best friend, immediately before a battle. Neither of them knows whether they'll come back from this one, and Chryso has some severe regrets over not having made his feelings for Elinn known earlier and thus not having a whole lot of time for it now.

did I doodle this mostly so I had an excuse to draw this spite reaction image?

Tbf he didn't write it - better yet: I remember reading somewhere that before recording it he apparently worked at the lyrics with the writers, Gallagher and Lyle, so that the text about the skyline would make sense for someone actually flying from London to NY. If I recall correctly, Gallagher and/or Lyle were on a flight that took a different "route" before landing due to air traffic or something, so they were basically given a panoramic flight that wasn't the ordinary one and inspired the song. Artie, being his wonderful neurotic self, had to "fix" the differences.

And yes, I realise this might make it even worse, lol.

But I'm one of the twelve fans of the songs the OP mentioned in the tags, so.

Yeah.

Yay for Artie, gotta love him. 🥰

I find this dichotomy so funny:

Odysseus, who has been in war for years and is quick to be crafty and trick his enemies: *laments and mourns giving up mercy and being forced to become the monster*

Telemachus, the one with a reputation of being small and weak with a good heart: *kills a man from behind while they’re distracted without any hesitation or remorse*

I fear that "fire bending didn't come easy to zuko" and "zuko isn't a prodigy" (both true) has somehow snowballed into "zuko is a bad or at best average fire bender".... which simply isn't true, especially by the end of book 3

Technoblade: Man, imagine not winning a 1 v 3. Couldn't be me.

Every MCC with Technoblade was memorable, but MCC 5 will always stand out in my mind thanks to Techno's infamous 1 v 3 fight! Here are some highlights from that event in honor of the man himself.

Happy Birthday, Technoblade! Thanks for all the laughs.

It’s been a long, miserable case, and tensions are running high already when the warlock, Dennis, captures Charles and Edwin.

He locks them in a cell - more of a cage, to be honest - and casts a spell on Rowland. Just a little thing really. Because he’s been watching them, for the same weeks that they’ve been watching him, and he knows their weaknesses.

Rowland has fury in every bone of him. And Payne, the warlock has noted, is obnoxious as hell. A little shit to the core.

It shouldn’t take much. They were already snapping at each other when they were sneaking up his driveway.

The spell, Dennis explains to his captives, is sort of like vodka, and sort of like the opposite of a love spell. His own invention, he tells them proudly, which lowers inhibitions and fills the victim with unsuppressable rage at the closest target.

He casts the spell and hands Rowland back his bat through the bars.

It shouldn’t take much. He expects the skinny gray bitch to be paste in three minutes flat.

He’s not.

The spell seems to be working - Rowland is biting out curses, clutching his bat with white-knuckled fingers, downright seething, and the other one is pressed back against the bars, as far away as he can get, but absolutely no punches are being thrown, no weapons being swung.

Dennis intensifies the spell.

Rowland’s breathing becomes desperately harsh. Dennis can hear his teeth grinding from across the room, and Rowland finally raises his fist and swings a punch - towards his own leg.

Another harsh thud and Payne dives across the cage to grab Rowland’s fist. Rowland goes immediately limp in Payne’s hands, and Dennis almost screams in frustration.

So he’s not looking when Payne grabs the bat, and swings it at the bars, and apparently it’s more enchanted than anticipated because it smashes right through and, long story short, Dennis shortly finds himself on the floor with a magic-binding curse on.

“I don’t understand,” he whines. He can admit it to himself, that was a whine. “Why didn’t it work?”

Rowland shrugs. “Oh, it did,” he says. “Made me proper furious. I just really, genuinely don’t wanna hit Edwin, mate. No amount of lowering inhibitions is gonna matter when there’s nothing there being inhibited in the first place.”

“But - but you’ve been with him for decades, and he’s - ” Dennis quickly rethinks his plan of calling Payne a bitch as he eyes the twirling bat, back in Rowland’s hands. “He’s like that! You have to have wanted to, at least once, the spell should have grabbed onto anything.”

Rowland just grins down at him. “Nah. Never wanted to, ever, even once. Now, you, on the other hand - ”

The bat swings and Dennis doesn’t remember anything else for quite a while.

Scribbly. The brain was too blank today but a modern Emmy managed to turn up.
