Putting work into an AI program without permission is illegal. You do not have my permission. Do not do it.

I scanned the crowd anxiously, looking for any sign of my boyfriend. I was hoping to catch him before he went into the locker room, but there were so many people here for the first sunball game of the season that it was impossible to pick him out in the crowd, despite his height.

Something needed to be done about that.

I hopped up on the first rock I found, going onto my tiptoes for the best possible view. I could see better, but there were still so many people I couldn't pick out my boyfriend. I huffed, then decided to change tactics.

I weaved through the crowd of people until I got to the slightly less crowded tunnel to the locker room. Technically, nobody but players were allowed to come down this way, but right now I didn't care.

"Hey!"

I turned, a little worried I'd have to defend my presence to somebody, only to find my beaming boyfriend Ithan Holstrom heading my way.

"You're not allowed to be back here," he teased. I beamed back at him, rushing to close the short distance between us. Ithan wrapped his arms around my waist as soon as I was close enough, pulling me to him and kissing me deeply. I ran my hands through his hair as he moved me back until I gently hit the wall. I could've stayed like that forever, but after a few long moments, he pulled back.

"Sorry. I hate to cut this short, but I kinda need to go get ready for my game."

"I get it," I said, leaning up to kiss him again all the same. I pulled away more quickly than the first time, giving him a bright smile as I did. "For luck."

Ithan laughed, leaning in to rest his forehead against mine. He had an absolutely beaming smile on his face, which made my heart race.

"Are you excited?" I asked. "First game of the season and all?"

"Of course. I always am. But I'm even more excited that you're at this one."

I smiled. Ithan and I had just started dating a few months ago, and we'd met not long before that. This would be my first sunball game as his girlfriend, and I couldn't wait to cheer him on louder than anyone else in the crowd.

"Me too. You're gonna crush the other team."

"Thanks."

We shared a smile, and I let my hand come up to cup his jaw, lightly stroking my thumb across his cheek. He leaned into the touch, but after a few moments, he sighed.

"I need to go." I frowned, and he gave me a forehead kiss before taking a step away. "I do have a little surprise for you though. Stay here, I'll be right back."

I leaned against the wall as he turned and ducked into the locker room, biting my lip and trying not to give in to how giddy Ithan made me feel. As promised, he was back a second later with a bundle of red fabric in one hand. He grinned my favorite million-watt smile as he held it out to me.

"What's this?" I asked, laughing a little as I took it from him. I held it out in front of me and found myself holding Ithan's jersey, the color he wouldn't be wearing today.

"I thought you could wear it," he explained, rubbing at the back of his neck. "For luck."

"Of course I'll wear it! I love it." I beamed at him, then glanced quickly up and down the hallway. We were alone, at least for now, so I wasted no time whipping off my shirt and putting the jersey on in its place. When I looked at my boyfriend again, I saw him staring at me in awe, his mouth hanging slightly open. "You might wanna close your mouth, babe."

Ithan huffed a laugh, meeting my eyes with clear, shining love in his.

"Have I mentioned lately how much I absolutely love you?"

"Actually, yes," I laughed. "But I can always stand to hear it again."

"Well, I absolutely love you. And I'm so sorry, but I really do have to go now. My teammates are already giving me shit for being late when I left the first time."

"I know." I leaned in to give him one last kiss, my chest practically exploding with love for the male in front of me. I pulled back, beaming at him as I started backing down the hallway, towards the stands where our friends would be saving a seat for me. "I'll meet you on the field after your win!"

Ithan huffed a laugh. "I can't wait!"

I winked and blew him a kiss, then turned to finally head off to my seat. I was practically floating on cloud nine as I made my way through my fellow students to a spot in the front row.

"Finally!" My friends laughed as I squeezed in next to them. "What took you so long?"

"I know what took her so long. She was wishing Ithan good luck!"

Heat rose to my face and I looked down, fighting a smile, which was more than enough to confirm my friends' suspicions. They started laughing, teasing me good-naturedly, but thankfully the players took the field before they could really dig in.

The first sunball game of the season had officially begun.

I was fairly new to sunball in general, but that didn't stop me from screaming and cheering like a maniac for every second of the game. Ithan had given me a crash course on the rules when we watched a pro game a few weeks ago, and I picked up more and more as the game went on. I screamed every time we scored, every time we needed to disrupt the focus of the other team, and every time the refs made a bad call (or at least, one we didn't like). By the end of the game, my voice was almost gone, but it had been worth it.

We'd won.

As the last seconds ticked off the clock, I screamed with everything I had left, my voice breaking as I roared with the rest of the crowd. I wasted no time running down out of the bleachers with the rest of my friends in celebration, a whirlwind of people and emotions crashing like a wave onto the grass. The other team sulked off, giving us space to spread out and lose our minds.

I immediately started scanning for Ithan, trying to find him like I had before the game began amidst a now even rowdier crowd. And like last time, he found me, wrapping his arms around me tightly from behind and burying his face in my neck.

I laughed, not needing to turn around to know it was him. He kissed my cheek, then gave me enough space to face him, both of us beaming like fools.

"You won!" I cried, deliriously happy with him. His answering smile was as bright as the sun as he leaned in and kissed me for all he was worth.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, tangling them in his hair and deepening the kiss like we'd done outside the locker room. I heard some wolf whistles and shouts from our friends, but Ithan and I ignored them both. When we finally pulled apart, our eyes never left each other's, bright smiles still on both our faces.

"You're my good luck charm," Ithan declared. I laughed again and shook my head a little.

"What are you talking about?"

"All our scouting reports said we had no shot at winning this game. They destroyed us last season. The only difference today was I had you in the stands."

Warmth bloomed in my chest as I beamed up at my boyfriend.

"Well, I'm happy I could help." I paused, thinking for a minute, then fixed Ithan with a wicked grin. "...Does that mean we have to keep our pre-game ritual the same every time now?"

He matched my grin with one of his own. "Actually yeah, I'm pretty sure it does. It'd be bad luck to change things now, and I don't want to sacrifice the team's season."

"Oh, of course not. I need to make out with you in the locker room tunnel before every game from now on. For the sake of the team."

"For the sake of the team."

Ithan and I shared a smirk before his teammates and the rest of our friends got sick of letting us have our moment, instead pounding Ithan on the back in congratulations and shouting with the rest of us. My boyfriend just wrapped an arm around my waist and held me close as we let ourselves get swept up in the excitement of the rest of the crowd.

As we finally headed off the field together almost half an hour later, most of us headed for an immediate celebration party, Ithan leaned in and whispered just loud enough for me to hear, and no one else.

"So what's the final verdict on your first real sunball game?"

"I loved it. I'm now fully obsessed." I paused, turning to meet his eyes and give him a mischievous grin. "And I can't wait for the next game."

Some OC art that I’m really proud of! I spent a lot of time on this taking advice from friends and trying out some new techniques with coloring, so now all can bear witness to another one of my demon OCs.

[somethingaboutmint]

curious question bc i saw your art of ccu in the commonwealth again, does maccready ever recognize ccu? maybe by voice or the sniper rifle (if she still uses the same rifle)??? does ccu ever say like "oh man that's my cringefail lil bro from lamplight"??

Yeah, they're actually still in regular contact!

During Mac's teen years (aka like 13-18ish) and after the fo3 main questline ccu is an absolute mess being ravaged by depression so shes not really there for mac when he could use guidance the most but he does ocassionaly come to visit her (rarely) to update her on whats going on in his life. He shows up at her door with duncan tho and she ends up being the one taking care of the kid (along with like. 3 ghouls. But its fine) while he's out in the commonwealth. Taking care of duncan makes her get to all sorts of realisations about herself but most importantly makes her feel like she kind of failed maccready by not being a more present adult figure in his life so she would eventually overcompensate that by literally treating him like hes still a kid at the fresh age of 22 which mac HATES. She hitches a ride to the commonwealth with mac and živa after they come get duncan because she has nothing better to do and gets up to all sorts of bullshit there

[creepypastacinematicuniverse]

BTW u guys dont know this but i am so fucking ORGANIZED. ive grouped these characters by the stories theyre in + the type of entity they are within the universe AND ive assigned all of them to a constellation. and an emoji. the emojis are for shorthand purposes bc there are almost 20 characters to keep track of in here (EDIT: ive downsized lol theres 14, but im focusing on like 9), and the constellations are for fun and maybe referring to them ominously within the universe later idk ??

speaking of grouping them into their stories, thats made things much easier for me. ive got the main 2 stories + prologue + what i like to call anellini which translates to "little rings." i cant remember why i chose to call them this. ANYWAY the anellini are much smaller, more self-contained stories that are mostly meant to expand the world the ccu takes place in and bring more characters into it. these will be written after the main stories are finished. probably

Entrance Ceremony Robes

Hi! The first four chapters of my stories need the entrance robes to be described, so here they are. I drew the clothes, but the figure they're drawn on is a blank reference pose from the internet. I can draw clothes, but I still struggle with people, so I often frankenstein as I slowly learn to draw and explore my love of designing.

Above is the RSA entrance ceremony robes. It's inspired by the painting of the woman in the white dressing knighting a knight in red with a sword. This is worn over whatever clothes the students are traveling in.

When I was younger my parents took me to the Met and the fashion show they were displaying was called "Heavenly Bodies." I wasn't religious them nor am I now, I literally thought 'Hell' was fanficition and couldn't possibly be apart of it. But this fashion show, even though many of the references, symbols, and imagery was lost on me has inspired a love of fashion in me sense. I spent 30 minutes staring at the same exhibit that day, just in awe of the dress.

As such, and because CCU is going to be heavily inspired by neoclassical Italian architecture, I wanted their fashion to be roman inspired as well. I couldn't draw anything to do these pieces of work justice, so I made a collage from the Heavenly Bodies book I have. The CCU entrance robes have the base of the dress on the right, but with the armored sleeve from the left. Truly, I love it and can't wait to share more pieces from the collection with you as I write and it comes up. All photos were taken from the book.

Please read my story!
