#*sips aggressively*

[zhongrin]

my lower leg and feet had been essentially marinating in rain water for like 3+ hours today, so i made myself some chamomile tea after a hot shower... and it got me thinking.

zhongli listening to you complain about how the rain was so cold and poured so heavily out nowhere, and he wordlessly starts to prepare a hot soak for your feet with a few drops of lavender oils.

zhongli who gently tells you to continue rambling about your day as he lifts your feet into the basin of hot water before settling himself comfortably on the floor, his hands softly massaging your skin.

zhongli who looks up at you with adoration as he felt you start to relax, who asks you whether the water's too hot, or if he needs to use more or less strength to massage your tired muscles, who chuckles in amusement as you blush and thank him with a shy smile.

zhongli who, if he could, would have built you an elevated pathway so you won't have to step on any puddles, commands the stones to rise and shield you from the rain and wind, and makes sure you get to your destination without any inconveniences whatsoever...

but alas, his days as a god has ended and he had decided to live as a mortal, so he chooses to follow what good mortal husbands would do when their spouse has had a rough day outside.

Can your dog-folks sip from cups properly, or are Vasco and his contemporaries out at fancy wine parties with their snoots in the glass going *shlorpshlorpshlorp*

As funny as the mental image of the shlorpshlorpshlorping is, I have to go with the sipping. Mostly for practical reasons, the way dogs drink is kind of messy and inprecise, they basically use the back of their tongue as a ladle.

I think they would have to have their own specialized drinkware too, something more shallow and wide rimmed I'd guess (wouldn't you just land back to the bowl territory then?). Imagine being a brachycephalic (short faced) dog like a french bulldog and trying to reach the last drop of champagne from the bottom of the long and narrow flute with your nonexistant snout, without losing your sense of dignity entirely.

Devil Nightmares

Space Riders AU - @onyxonline Eve Ewe, Bolt - @lavendersartistry

(CW/TW: nightmares, panic attack)

This is an angst/comfort fic for onyxonline's Space Riders AU! This is mainly centered my OCs Eve Ewe and Bolt! Please check Oynx out, their work is super cool!

Although the skies of the galaxies were forever a sunset to nightfall, it was no later than 9 in the planet of the Lilim.

Its princess, Eve, resigned to her chambers in the west palace, the planet's natural flora greeting her as she entered the room. She took a moment to touch the lotuses in the lily pond close to her balcony, enjoying their fresh and sweet scent.

She looked out to the windows and glanced at the stars and the faraway planets. She took a moment to remember how she and her sister tried counting how many planets there were and how many would soon come to their world in the following years. Now, that time had stopped.

Now, Eve would become a queen and her sister to be general their planet's military.

Eve quickly shook the thought and began to settle for the night. Her favorite book was at the edge of the other side, the portraits of her parents and grandmother looking back at how she had grown. She couldn't help but smile at how proud they could be while they watch over her with their goddess.

With a quick, soft clap of her hands, her lights dimmed as she hurried into bed. Then, to dream.

...........

The unnerving void of nothingness felt like eyes were on Eve that watched her every move. She felt cold, yet she couldn't shiver nor try to exhale the coldness.

Red smoke clouded her view and it felt potent to her senses to even try to breathe in, so she kept her mouth closed. Eve kept walking on, to at least find a exit to this strange place.

Then.

A hand. Then another. Then more. All, so many, grabbed at her as whispers echoed in her ears.

"Join him." "He will bring us salvation." "He is our God."

And Eve ran. Ran far away from whatever was trying to lead her astray. She couldn't look back, not when she could feel those creatures, those voices, right behind her.

It felt like a loop, a never-ending hall to nowhere, no escape. Eve was starting to feel hopeless, like there was no one to come for her. She was vulnerable, easy to take and to indoctrinate. She couldn't even bear to look as the voices captured her and a long, lanky hand reached out for her as the sufferable red smoke corrupted her mind and her soul.

...........

Eve never thought she could scream so loudly. She was in brink of sweat as tears rolled down her face and her hands shook violently.

Her chamber doors opened immediately as the dark wolf critter, her guard Bolt, looked at her with concern.

"Princess? You screamed. Are you-"

Bolt took a moment to realize how she was clutching onto her evening blouse tightly and her breathing rapid. He rushed to her side and kneeled.

"Can you hold my hands?"

Eve turned to him and quickly grabbed his hands as she looked down to her lap.

Bolt didn't clutch her hands nor fully held them. He knew she needed room as he did what he could to get her back calm. He spoke softly, never looking away.

"Good, princesa. Now breathe with me."

The dark wolf critter demonstrated first as his paws rubbed her hands to soothe her shakiness a little. Eve listened to him and started to take deep breaths, the shakiness in her voice slowly soothing away.

"Good, good. Now, tell me what do you see."

Eve's eyes glanced around her chambers before opening her mouth to speak despite her screaming earlier created a painful sensation to her throat.

"I... I see the lotuses.."

"What else do you see?"

"I see you.."

Bolt nodded softly as he sat up and guided her to the lily pond, his eyes on her. The two sat down at the edge, the lotuses gliding in the water.

He kept his eyes on the princess and held her close, his paw and her hand intertwined. With a small exhale, he softly sang a old song.

Seas invite in the evening sun,

To light the somber abyss.

Clouds dance up with the heavens stars,

Chanting an air of joyous bliss.

Water fades back from blue to jade,

Guiding young rainbows high.

Flowers bloom in to reds and whites,

Quenching our hearts as they run dry.

Angels chained,

By a beast locked in slumber.

Sin washed away,

By the swift flow of time.

I may know the answers,

Journey over snow and sand.

What twist of fate has brought us,

To tread upon this land?

Bolt looked down at Eve, noticing how she had gotten calmer after his song. He rest his chin on top of her head as his paws gently went through her hair.

Whatever her dream was, whatever had frightened her like this, was now a priority to discover.

The dark wolf critter looked down at her with a soft, small smile.

"Don't worry, my princess. Nothing will happen to you or our home as long as I am here and our friends."

being a writer is being in a constant state of breakdowns

[ooklet]

although i generally hate confrontation some part of my southern upbringing is activated by having important emails ignored, and getting to whip out a follow-up that ends in "thank you in advance for all your help in this matter" or if i'm feeling really nasty "looking forward to your prompt response"

[spiderwarden]

I'm home from the gym, sipping my straw from Gatorade and looking at all of you.

"Oblivion"

The song I had on repeat while drawing this: ZAYDE WOLF x NEONI - Oblivion (Official Lyric Video) - YouTube

So I guess I'm posting DC stuff now . . . WOW it's like the whole rwby thing all over again. Maybe this will b a one off, maybe it won't, only time will tell.

Credit for this particular design of supergirl goes to @rontra although . . . I did take some small artistic liberties.

[starscelly]

i feel so at peace watching the stars get white girl wasted together again . life is so beautiful

[icharchivist]

I think one of the best pieces of art we have ever gotten out of Granblue is Summer Lucio's uncap art, just because him being flirty and slutty juxtaposed to Sandalphon wishing he could blow his head up with his mind is so funny, it never fails to make me laugh

tRUUUUE

is it really a granblue fantasy thirst trap if Sandalphon isn't seething with rage about it

it's such a funny art.

[crimeronan]

who can blame him though. It's hard enough to stay sane when you're in a cult, you kids maul each other on the floor on sight and you're technically co-parenting with the emperor (evil) and Lilith (Lilith)

i can't think of any character in toh more deserving of the vriska (vriska) treatment than lilith (lilith) i can't stop laughing. darius is like look hunter and amity's desire to kill each other is by far the most interesting thing to happen around here in years they're spunky. love this for them. could they kill each other a little less though

was gonna put this in the tags but it's worth being in the main body: darius coparenting amity with lilith, while hunter seethes with jealousy about amity having lilith's attention... SO FUNNY. OH GOD. it's EXACTLY like trying to manage the emotions of a clearly-disliked stepchild alongside the favored golden child who constantly antagonizes them.

except that the clearly-disliked stepchild has decided to do interpersonal terrorism about it.

and also you're in an evil cult. which is complicating things.

truly who Can blame darius for being like "yeah, you two little shits can sort yourselves out. you're clearly doing fine without any responsible adult intervention. don't let me get in the way"
