i think amy is one of the few people shadow would actually tolerate being near him, let alone touching him

[id: digital drawing of shadow the hedgehog and amy rose. shadow is wearing an open leather jacket with a maroon shirt and jeans torn at the knees. he has a square-shaped notch in one ear. amy is wearing a dress with a striped skirt colored cream-white-black-blue-red, a blue shirt, and a striped blue shawl with a red ribbon on it. she also has an eyebrow piercing, a couple earrings, and an industrial piercing.

shadow is sitting cross-legged on the floor, a phone with a red case in his hand. however, even as he's facing forward his attention is on amy, who's sitting on a stool behind him, braiding his quills. he's got an eyebrow raised and is trying really hard to not smile as she animatedly talks, gesticulating with her free hand. text pointing to her reads, "gossiping about Sonic." end id]

Eöl & Aredhel (Tolkien) Cosplayer + editing: me Song: Darkness by Blackmore's Night Once upon a dark autumn night I was so very far from sleep I longed to walk beneath the stars Into the woods so dark and deep Neither myth nor fairy tale Could keep me from the path to the maze But eyes upon me I could feel Hidden in the shadows watching always Something in the darkness pulled me deeper Something in the madness eased my mind Was I awake or was I dreaming? Cut the strings that bind me to mankind

When you don't know other local Silm cosplayers or anyone who'd be up for this, so you gotta do it all yourself So, I got this crazy idea in my head several months ago and it wouldn't leave me alone, it's been eating away at my brain; I finally got Eöl together (doing a shoot with him this coming weekend! ^^), so I can now scratch it off of my list and find some peace at long last XD

28 for music asks :D

BEE!!!! Hii!!! <3 Thank you so much for sending this!!

28: A song by an artist with a voice that you love

Ohh... You picked a difficult one!! Usually whenever I like a song, I automatically like the voice as well, so this is a very broad one!

But I'm going to go with Wherever You Will Go by The Calling. It's one of my favourite songs in general but I also just really like Alex Band's voice here. I don't know how to explain it but there's this... idk hoarseness? I'm not sure if that's the word I want to use... ANYWAY, there's this *something* in his voice that scratches an itch in my brain. And it's just a really good song!

Send me music asks! <3

Mysterious Lotus Casebook | Lian Hua Lou | 莲花楼 | Episode 10

"Since you have been poisoned with the deadliest poison, no poison can harm you anymore."

--Monk Wuliao

I've been thinking a lot about this line lately, and its potential repercussions. In context, this is Li Lianhua remembering Monk Wuliao's words from when he was healed as much as he could have been from the Bicha Poison 10 years ago. Shortly before these remembered words, there is a flashback wherein it is revealed that Li Xiangyi had a nut allergy that made him break out in hives. That bowl of food he's eating is a nut porridge brought to him by Yun Biqiu. (There are less dangerous ways to see if this person is your former sect leader, Biqiu! O_o;;;) Anyway, as he is eating this nut porridge, and remembering this line, Li Lianhua is distinctly NOT breaking out in hives.

The conclusion that we are clearly supposed to draw is that the Bicha Poison has prevented the "toxin" of the nuts from harming its host.

...but why stop there?

If a nut is a poison for the purpose of this mechanism of action, then what about other drugs/medications? After all, to quote one of my favorite sayings: "Healers and poisoners are folks with similar skill sets and wildly different philosophies." Or to put it as I learned it in my toxicology class in vet school: "All medicines are poisons at the right dose."

So if a nut can be a poison, then medications CERTAINLY are. And if the Bicha poison recognizes the nut as a poison and prevents it from acting, then we can assume it would do the same to any medications.

That explains why Medicine Demon's priceless potions DON'T WORK.

That explains why the snake bites DON'T WORK.

That explains why Guan Hemeng's medicines DON'T WORK.

It also explains why Li Lianhua is so convinced that Fan Duobing's pill from Tianji Hall and Di Feisheng's Wangchuan Flower WON'T work.

Because once you've been poisoned by Bicha Poison, NO OTHER POISON WILL HARM YOU... or help you.

And taking that a step further, it means that every time Li Lianhua has been sick or injured or in need of pain medication in the past ten years, NONE OF IT WOULD HAVE WORKED. And considering how much more fragile he is now than he used to be, that absolutely breaks my heart.

Just imagine that every time he was ill or injured, he had to weigh the benefits of using Yangzhouman to heal himself versus the risk of using too much and shrinking the time he had left even more. How many times must he have chosen to just power through and hope he makes it to the other side? No wonder he's so reluctant to let Guan Hemeng examine him and try to help. No wonder he doesn't want to waste everyone else's precious medications on himself. He knows they'll do nothing.

...excuse me while I go cry in a corner now. TT^TT

Arien's Advent Calendar, 2024

25 days of TLOU fic

ALL CLAIMS FILLED, THANK YOU!

To say a big THANKS for supporting my fic throughout the year(s), I’m doing the Advent Calendar Fic thingamy again!  I did this last year and it became this collection of stories.

From 1 - 25 December 2024 I will be posting a short story (it will be short, I will control myself) as part of a new collection of works from Driftersverse, Making Mirrors, Interstellar Overdrive and Legend of Charro.

Beneath the cut I have a little information about the story to be written each day (universe, characters and date/era).  I’d like to dedicate each to a reader, so please claim one and I’ll write it for you.

I don’t think all days will fill up, but I’d like to give everyone a chance to get one they really like, so at this stage each person can claim ONE day only - I’ll open it up to more later on. You’re welcome to send me a few in order of preference in case someone has already beaten you to the punch on your favourite, and I haven’t yet updated the list.

If you would rather claim as anon, please give me a name or an emoji or something - just so I can identify you against your chosen day and so we don’t get multiple anons muddled up. 

Please send claims via asks so I can keep track of them in one place and if not anon, include your AO3 name (if you have one).

Happy Holidays! (And thanks to everyone who voted and helped me decide what to offer!)

DD – Driftersverse (my TLOU sandbox, Tess lives) MM – Making Mirrors (Snowqueen of Texas/Parallel Lines - no Cordyceps AU) LOC – Legend of Charro (the Western) IO – Interstellar Overdrive (70s AU) AU – Alternate Universe, unrelated

“OC/Canon, any universe” is a new entry this year.  This means I’ll write a story with the canon listed and you can choose either canon or one of my original characters to appear in the story with them, plus specify universe in which it takes place.  (Eg, Frank and Joel, IO).

Please be kind and keep it to characters I am known to write (I may refuse a claim if you start waving Owen or Mel at me) and who could reasonably interact with one another.  I’ve got enough writing to do, don’t break my brain!

“Mystery AU” is exactly what it sounds.  Last time one of these spawned IO so who knows what could happen?

“Crack box” is the one crack fic I’ll write.  Last year’s took me by surprise, but this year I’m reserving a space for it.

Where are all the Tommy/Maria fics?  They’re still getting three more stories to themselves, so that’s coming probably 2025 at this stage. O_O

I like to imagine that with Cellbit calling Phil ‘Dad’, it’s an embarrassing habit that he has and that he’s done it before, specifically with BBH during their time 10 years ago. I feel like there would be two possible ways it could go and they’re both funny

“Dad-“

“Dad? o_O”

“I SAID BAD”

—————————————

“Pai-“

“Pie? Cellbit I know we’re low on rations but please focus”

I took a moment tonight and watched the 2019 Chinese Grand Prix which was the third race of that year and the 1000 Grand Prix of all time. Here are some Interesting takeaway listening to the 56 laps that were led my Sir Lewis Hamilton. These are anecdotes about the race and F1 overall at the time.

- Valtteri Bottas took pole for the 7th time in his career O_O

- Valtteri was 1st in the championship at this point

- Lance out in Q1 7 races in a row (history never seems to not repeat)

- Alex Albon from the pit lane O_O

- 59th time Merc has locked out the front row in the history

- Strategy in 2019 was a planned 1 stop | Became a 2 stop for most teams to try and use mediums in the end for speed (M/H/M)

- 2 drivers spun during the formation trying to warm up their tyres with the corner elevation changes

- Torro Rosso took out both McLarens, dropping them to the back of the grid

- race went green while McLaren tried to change their parts post damage

- Lewis broke away on the start, taking 1st cleanly

- Vettel was pressuring Charles the same way Sainz does now (Charles 1st year at Ferrari)

- Lap 10 aired team orders for Charles >_< "go faster or else"

- Lap 11 aired team order for Charles to swap

- Lap 18 Nico retired due to mechanical issues

- Lap 18 Landos wing was scrapping as he came down the main straight

- Halfway Merc lockout holds with 5second gap

- Winds were are large talking point there, and its only gotten worse with the size of the cars now

- Famed Merc double pit stop on lap 36 was crazy

- Lap 43 Kyvat with Torro Rosso retired

- Lap 49 Lewis asked if Valtteri was under pressure from Seb O_O

- Also Lap 49 and Alex Albon in 10th got lapped by the top 3 in the 2nd to last corner

- Lap 45 Tom informed us Nico reported the problem that retired him

- Lap 50 and they were already talking about swapping Gasly Albon between the Red Bull teams O_O

- Hass race pace always a talking point

- Lap 53 lando retired

- Lap 54 Lewis lapped Riccardo in 7th O_O

- Lap 54 Gasly pitted for Softs for Fastest lap

- LH 74th Carrer Win

- Pit Lane to 10th place finish for Alex Albon for some points

Lap 12 Lewis led with a 3-second gap, verstapen in 5th was 11 seconds behind and Gasly in 6th 10 seconds on top of that

Lap 15 order was Merc, Ferrari, Red Bull for top6 and a mix across the rest

Lap 24 top 6 hasn't changed just reordered due to pit stops, Merc Fer Rb Fer Rb

Halfway through, Lewis is 1sec ahead of Valtteri; from there all others were less than 10 behind each other, with Ricciardo in 7th being 21 behind

Lap 30 Gasly in 6th 15sec off Verstappen, Ricciardo 5th 26 sec off Gasly O_O

Lap 41 back to Merc, Ferrari, Red Bull top 6

Lap 42 Gasly in 6th and 33sec off Verstappen, Ricciardo 7th 10sec behind Gasly

Lap 55 Gasly in 6th and 59 seconds off Charles, Ricciardo 7th 15sec behind Gasly

Final - Lewis led by 6sec / Valtteri had another 13 on Seb with everyone below Ricciardo in 7th being lapped 1 time and everyone below 16th Russell that didn't DNF being lapped 2 times

Daima review / what I liked and everything under the read more.

TLDR: Very DB, very Toriyama, very cute, very well made, and beautiful. 9.5/10 highly recommended.

What I liked:

Voice acting. SFX. Animation. Colors, composition, lines, framing. Every single scene from DB/DBZ that was reanimated for the "viewing". Kubota and Nakatsuru and Sanda and everyone did AMAZING. The entire first half retells the Buu saga events and it looks STUNNING.

Demon, Kai and Namek lore. White magic vs black magic. "Pointy ears means you come from the Demon Realm" -> Soooo....?

The humor was great 98% of the time. Character dynamics with the new characters are amazing. Gomah is expressive and interesting.

Kibitoshin rewrite which cancels BoG, so Daima does to DBS what DBS did to DBGT :D

We know the timeline (Trunks' 9th birthday). We don't know if it's before or after everyone forgets about Buu (but the DBs are inactive). If Trunks' birthday is indeed in june, it can be like, 3 weeks after the Buu saga (which takes place around May 7th, Tenkaichi Day), or the year after, after the DBs were active and used to make people forget about Buu. It's likely that it's right after the Buu saga (days/weeks) because Gomah watched the Buu events live and went straight to Earth AND they celebrate everyone's return to Earth during the birthday celebration.

What I disliked:

2% of the humor was "bodily smells" childish. Arinsu's chest is a bit weird in terms of body movement and dress design :-|

Character proportions.

Mr Satan, Piccolo, Tenshinhan and Yamcha are way too short in compariton to Goku and Gohan. Vegeta is way too tall (Bulma is taller than him) and he SHOULD NOT BE WEARING HIS ARMOR at the birthday. His entire character arc is not wearing saiyan armor over time (full armor to only the chest + shoulders to only the chest to only the blue spandex + gloves/boots by the buu saga and nothing is left in End of Z)

Here's my modest fix (couldn't fix oolong because reasons but yeah):

The wish to make everyone 6 years old (and those who were children to "become babies") is fine, but Piccolo (mini) does not look like his infant self, nor like his 3yo (in the 23rd tournament) self :p

Can we talk about how the wish was worded?

"those who defeated majinbuu and all their friends".

Who defeated Majin Buu? narrow answer: Mr Satan, Goku, and you can maybe add Vegeta. Wide answer is "everyone in the universe and OtherWorld" (with their participation in the genkidama). Middle answer is the Z team... Including Gohan, Goten and Trunks, Piccolo, aka everyone who fought or faced Buu at some point, even Enma, King Kai, and Porunga and the Namekians who gave him ki for the genki and the wish to restore his ki?

And who do you consider "friends" of any of these people? Not "all their friends who were involved", but just their friends in general. It affected Yamcha, Puar, Oolong and Roshi (who weren't involved) so…

Upa, Eighter, Suno, Baba, Turtle… 17? The girl who pointed Goku to the policeman? The policeman? Bulma's parents? And… Future Trunks??

Future Bulma: what the fuck 6yo future trunks: O_o I have QUESTIONS?!

And Shenron himself? You guys KNOW Goku considers Shenron his friend.... :p

And NIMBUS! Baby cloud?!
