#I am SO proud of it and spent SO MUCH TIME on it

[criminal-sen]

Alright fuck, here we go. I did that Then And Now thing I said I was gonna do. So here's my 2016 art I was pretty proud of at the time:

And 2024 using the same type of pen (Bic ballpoint I am SO sick of bic ballpoint but it's done omfg)

I'm pretty proud of this one too (i spent SO fuckjng long on it, if i wasnt proud of it, I'd probably be devastated smh):3 And uhhhh idk if the old one had a premise beyond Mayuri looking vaguely spooky amidst some tech.. but by the last panel of the new one, I decided he's running some diagnostics on his brain (aka trying to figure out wtf is wrong with him) and you can take this to be as 'haha he needs to know why he's so weird' lighthearted or 'oh shit that has heavy implications' serious as you want:3

Below the cut is just another pic of the new one that I tried to doctor a bit (Bic ballpoint also sucks to photograph cuz it is shiny), figured I'd use a basic ass photo for comparison just like the old one, wanted to be level on all fields so I can properly pummel my old self>:3

Btw the paper I used for this has been perfectly fine for literally everything else - that being pencil sketches and felt tip pen - I have Ever done on it, yet between ballpoint needing a heavier hand, loads of re-sketching and erasing, then just.. my hand being all over it for several hours, it was SO warped and ready to crumple and/or tear. Like. I have better paper. I have SO MUCH fucking paper. But here I am using the shittiest stuff I have bc uh... fjddhvdvdvd idfk:p

It's sketch paper btw. Like when u see a sketchpad that's just as big as the ones surrounding it, but it's mysteriously way cheaper? Then u open it up and feel the paper and yr like

Yah it's that paper

Okay, let's pretend Anakin did give Obi-Wan his Padawan braid:

ANAKIN: [handing Obi-Wan his braid] Here Master, it's for you! OBI-WAN: [frowning] I appreciate the gesture, Anakin, but really, what am I going to do with this? And you really don't need to call me Master, anymore. We are equals. ANAKIN: [feeling a bit hurt] It's a symbol of all the time we've spent together… you don't want it? OBI-WAN: Why would I need that? I am very proud of you, Anakin, but I don't need possessions to remember our time together. Remember, a Jedi– ANAKIN: Doesn't have possessions, yes, I know. Never mind, it was a stupid idea.

YEAH, IMAGINARY-ONLY-IN-THIS-SCENE ANAKIN, IT WAS A STUPID IDEA!

Also, Obi-Wan loves Anakin (LIKE A BROTHER), but he knows he shouldn't love him as much as he actually does, so even if for some reason Obi-Wan WANTED to keep it (which again, why would he, he's around Anakin all the time not like he needs a reminder of his former Padawan) Obi-Wan would honestly throw it away as an exercise in letting go, because that's the Jedi thing to do.

THAT'S HOW IT WOULD GO, OKAY!? Also, Anakin had no possessions to give his wife as a wedding present, so giving her his braid was his way of giving her a piece of himself, because that's all he had.

P.S. – Anakin would not actually think of his Padawan braid as a symbol of all the time he spent together with Obi-Wan, but for the sake of the little scene I made up a fake reason.

Sorry @skywalkr-nberrie for going off the rails a bit, hope you don't mind 😅

Yeah Anakin giving his padawan braid to his wife and not his rigid adoptive dad actually makes a lot of sense for his character if you stopped to actually think for once.

My Soul’s Tie to Lucifer

Two years ago, if you had told me that I would’ve had a recording of someone possessed by Satan himself assisting me in gaining knowledge about my soul, I would’ve said you were crazy. Nevertheless, here I am at arguably one of the most interesting parts of my spiritual journey yet.

This past weekend, the lovely @varusha-asmoday allowed me to question Satan about my soul’s past life and connection to Lord Lucifer. Varusha’s partner allows themself to be possessed by Satan during their rituals. Satan speaks through them and Varusha records it. Here are some highlights of what I transcribed of Satan speaking about me as well as my thoughts on it:

This was somehow his first impression: “It seems like she's a little pet to him” Whoa, okay, oh my… So, those visuals I got of Lucifer holding a leash connected to a collar around my neck that made me super flustered were real? Alright then 🥴

“Lucifer is rather endeared by her.” Aww. “He's very protective of her. Very very protective of her, shoving me out of the way. No, I'm just here to help on her behalf! Prove it? I don’t have any proof.” Shoutout to Varusha for providing proof here so Lucifer would give Satan more info. It’s absolutely heartwarming to me how protective Lucifer is of me. Also, hearing Satan’s dynamic with Lucifer was interesting.

“What's appearing to me is Lucifer holding this one like a child in the nature of the infernal realm in Hell before life, before she was alive. She had a tragic past in quite the distant past. I think around the time when Christianity was meeting the place of Ireland.” This was around 400 AD. I don’t think time in Hell works the same way it does here, but if it does, then I’d have spent around 1600 years there with Lucifer. It would certainly explain why I’m a demonkin.

“A woman in white, very young, weeping. And Lucifer letting her pass over and then keeping her around. And then afterwards being endeared so much that he chose her uniquely for the mission that he sent her on. Specifically because of the nature of their intimate relationship, which is mostly love and cherishment, that kind of thing.” Oh my gods. Lucifer helping me reach the afterlife and then liking me so much he took me in. 🥹

“There was a father figure and a young woman crying. The father was evil and Lucifer took the place of that fatherly role. Became the protective force that she needed. Whether that was in this life or the last, it's hard to tell. He just says it's an imprint present on his soul… As an imprint, it needed to happen again.” Wasn’t expecting to get called out for my Daddy issues. I certainly wouldn’t call my current human father “evil”, but I will say Lucifer has done for me emotionally in the year and a half since I knew he was around than my father has done in 22 years.

“Lucifer truly sees her as a daughterlike figure, very proud of her. Very protective of her. He really sees himself as that role for her. And he did incarnate her, making him the father of her.” Considering our romantic intimacy, I certainly wasn’t expecting this perspective. But I asked Lucifer about it and I think he said something like “demons don’t see the same things taboo as humans do.” Meaning, it’s normal for them to be intimate with their own children. I think him having a caretaker role with me is really sweet. I have a little bit of a tendency to age regress, so I’d love for him to take care of me. It’s awesome to have confirmation that Lucifer cares so deeply for me. Now I just wanna curl up on Lucifer’s lap while he pets my horns and strokes my hair…

Big thank you to everyone involved in getting me this info!

the bed in Hancock's room should have been fixed. Fahrenheit should have her own room instead of falling asleep standing on the couch. hancock would have given the drifters better quarters/food, games etc up in his attic. there should be about 420% more chems in that state house. in this essay i will-

Hi!! How are you doing today?💞

I was wondering: why did you choose all the characters to be so young? It's absolutely not criticism, I don't mind, but everyone (especially Arthur) behaves and sounds so mature that I was a bit shocked (in a good way).

I also have to admit I know nothing about the Arthurian tales, and maybe in there you can find some chronological hints about Arthur's age etc.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the rewritten chapters. Your IF is one of my favourites and I can't wait to read more of it❤️

You know anon, you are right. They could absolutely be older, and in fact I am one of those people who prefers more mature characters (not teenagers basically).

I think part of the reason is that I have structured the game so that there will be time skips, and MC and the ROs will grow and age together. Even if, admittedly, this could still work even if I gave every character some additional years of age.

The other reason is that when I started working on this IF, I was barely MC's age... and now I am Arthur's age and I do not feel older or more mature😢

So, basically, yours is a valid point to make!

favorite psych fics??? 👀

i honestly haven't read too-too many but here's an incomplete list:

food is life, and life hates juliet. this was the first one i read and i found it through @/thespiritssaidso answering my ask about spoiler free psych fics and it's so cute aksjsjdbs. i wrote a short little continuation here but it's a spoiler free shules sickfic/whump and it's pretty short and i've read it like 3 times bc it makes my feet kick. @/thespiritssaidso (Isolation68 on ao3) writes a bunch of really cute shassie stuff too but i like juliet far too much for this not to be my favorite of their work.

hidden emotions. it's less than 1k but just really good. it's pov second person (following jules) and has spoilers for the season 3 finale, but i love it a lot. i found it from someone answering my spoiler free psych post telling me to sort by date updated on ao3- which like- i wish i could find that notification and give you a hug bc that changed my life lol. i really really loved reading like a detached 2nd person fic, it's so well written because it doesn't make you feel like juliet but it gives so much information on her thoughts and feelings which was just a really cool experience and inspired me to write this (which i swear i will update soon i have like half of the next chapter on my notes app), which slight spoilers for season 4 but it's cannon divergence. anyway i love the concept and i love the execution and i love juliet o'hara

the door before me is open just enough. it's just really cute. another shules one shot i found the same way and it really stands up to re-reading

love game. fluff and smut, shules one shot i found the same way. there are a couple sexy shules fics that i love but for some reason this is the only one i have bookmarked. it's so good and the author does a really good job of keeping the characters believable throughout. theres some shawn and gus friendship stuff and karen vick, i just like it a lot

there are a lot more but these were most if the ones i bookmarked, if you're interested there are like 60 fics when you search psych >> shules >> english >> updated between 2006-2011, they're all pretty short (6k max i think) and probably 50 of them i liked so definitely check that out lol

edit: @/attic-nights was the one who told me to sort by updated on ao3!!! you are my favorite i love you so much go send them hugs lol
