“Hey, you okay?”
“I…no.”
“Okay. Talk to me.”
“Phee…what if we made a mistake?”
“What?”
“There is hardly anywhere the Empire is not these days. What if something happens to one of us? To both of us? What if you go out on a mission for Vos and you are killed or”—
“It’s us, brown eyes. And it’s me. I���d like to see the Empire try to keep me down.”
“Then what if one day I wake up and I cannot remember you? Or the girls?”
“Then we’ll help you remember all over again. All of us.”
“But what if”—
“You were having that nightmare about Tantiss, weren’t you?”
“Yes. I…don’t want to…go back to being….”
“Listen, Tech Ninety-Nine Genoa: you are never going back to that ever again. I promise.”
For the day five prompt of ND Tech Week. I’m thinking it takes Tech a little while to get back home, and a little while longer to figure out who he really is. He still has some rough days, and worries in ways he didn’t before. Whatever happened to him, and whatever he did afterwards, was something he couldn’t control—and it kept him away for so much longer than he wanted. Still, every once in while it hits him how much they lost, and how much they got back, and in spite of everything he thinks he must be the luckiest man in the galaxy to have come out the other side. After all, better late than dead. As Phee always says. (Or did that one time.)
#the bad batch#ndtech2024#tech bad batch#phee genoa#techphee#I gave up trying to clean this up so#messy version be upon ye#I could not for the life of me figure out where Phee’s arms should go at like#any point of this#like not even because it’s a hard pose#it was an embarrassingly long time of just going ‘what is in arm and what do I do with it’#to clarify it’s ’ninety-nine’ as in the clone 99 and/or clone force 99#not the plan#I’m sorry I just realized I didn’t say that anywhere#tech lives#btw#this is technically canon compliant#there is literally nothing in canon that forbids this from happening anywhere#between the gang sitting down under that tree and the epilogue or afterwards

#sonadow#shadonic#shasoni#sth fanart#sonic fanart#sth#blue#edgy hedgy#hydro.art#hydro.gifs#started the sketch for this one earlier this week. shad's shoes gave me so much grief I eventually just modeled them in blender#I was actually excited to animate this one until I made the grave mistake of lining shadow with the paint brush tool instead of the brush.#agonyizing. spent so much time cleaning up all the lines bc they were no longer neatly separated by fills anymore#eventually gave up and just drew over the bits I couldnt correct on new layers. never doing that again#why isnt Animate more animator-friendly!!#also wanted to try out ntscQT on this one and I like how it turned out :]

finally sending my busted old montblanc in for repairs after sitting on it for over a decade everyone wish me a not too expensive quote
#fountain pens#it was properly messed up. i spent a long time trying to fix it myself to little avail#its so special to me i really wanna see it working again someday and parts for its particular make are SUPER RARE#old man gave my mom a big bag of old pens as thanks for her help back when she worked at the bank and she gave it to me#and the montblanc was the one fountain pen in there and it was like a magical treasure to me#especially cus the nib feels SOOO good. it feels amazing#i can only assume the old man was left handed cus it's worn down in such a perfect way for me specifically#also embarrassing and sad but the damage was entirely caused by 14 year old me trying to take apart the piston to clean it#its my one big regret#whenever i think about the time machine to go back and fix something scenario the first thing that comes to mind is this pen#going back to teen me and saying PUT THE PEN DOWN IT LITERALLY JUST NEEDS TO SOAK IN SOME WATER AND A LITTLE FRESH SILICONE GREASE#my bemoanings

doodles of lucifer and alastor in Antisocial Socializing on ao3, by soleciri (@grownupchangeling on tumblr!)
i love this fic a lot-- it has jokes and two autistic characters who really don't want to be in the general proximity of each other so consider taking a look at it :)
read more for the closeup photos
#kinda gave up trying to keep the paper clean so enjoy the lead smudges and eraser shavings#every time i tag someone in a post i have to resist the urge to apologize a thousand times (over... nothing?)#anyways they're so silly and incompatible#i personally don't see this as radioapple (especially within the context of the fic) but if you ship them then feel free#the more dysfunctional the better#also i feel obliged to say that whether lucifer understands his own shirt is up for debate i just really wanted to draw them standing aroun#doodles#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel alastor#hazbin hotel lucifer#hazbin alastor#hazbin lucifer#there's one velvette in the corner but im not gonna tag her lol

Norway Headcanons
Bc I’m inspired ✨
Norway is a very active and outdoorsy person, he loves skiings (which, he’s mastered), hiking, sailing/rowing and figure skating.
Norway is a firm believer that there is no bad weather, only bad clothes. It could be a literal blizzard outside and he’ll still shrug his shoulders and go out to try and ski anyway. He hates being inside on a weekend, and if he doesn’t get out he’ll feel guilty about it or even claustrophobic.
Norway has always felt an incredibly deep connection with the sea, and just water in general, to be honest. There’s something so peaceful and therapeutic about it. He often finds himself longing to be in, on or surrounding by water.
Nor is an adventurer and an explorer at heart!! He loves travelling and seeing the natural beauty of so many different parts of the of the world ✨ he doesn’t really tell people when he’s going on these holidays. If you haven’t heard from nor in a while, it’s entirely likely that he could be at the top of Ben Nevis, or hiking through the Amazon rainforest, or swimming in a random beach in Australia.
that being said, he is a completely different during the winter months. Seasonal depression hits him like a brick, and he’ll spend most days cuddled under blankets, knitting and watching some nature documentary. He tries to get outside for the 2-3 hours of sunlight he gets in the middle of the day, just for the sake of getting outside and not feeling trapped.
Norway never gets enough sleep. Managing to be both a night owl and an early bird. He always goes to sleep far too late and he always wakes up far too early. Coffee is his clutch during the day, and he often finds himself napping on the sofa more than he’d like.
speaking of getting up early, he always likes to get a little read in of his book before he starts his day. The reason he gets up so early is so that he has time to read.
Norway is a huge booknerd, he loves reading. And he’s found reading to be really helpful when he experiences homesickness on his travels. He always likes to bring a book that’s set in Norway, so he can map out the different locations in his mind and truly feel momentarily transported home.
every single time he’s in the UK, he always buys far too many books than he should, but he gets so caught up in how much cheaper they are over here than in Norway. Scotland officially has his own little book shelf for all the books Norway’s bought that he couldn’t fit in his suitcase on the way back home.
he has massive bookshelves back home, and every few months he likes to dedicate a day solely to reorganising them completely. It takes him hours, but he loves it, he finds it weirdly very relaxing.
in terms of things that Norway finds relaxing, he actually does yoga. It’s a great way to clear his head and feel calm. It also helps out with his flexibility. Norway is far more flexible than any man should be.
on paper, Norway lives a very healthy lifestyle. He doesn’t drink that much fizzy pop, he eats a lot of fruit and vegetables, he gets a lot of protein from the sheer amount of fish he eats, and sweet treats and snacks are reserved for weekends.
Norway is very jealousy prone, especially in regard to Denmark & Sweden. Often feeling forgotten about or even under-valued in comparison to them. He hates having too much attention on himself, but if Sweden or Denmark is mentioned he will feel an intense need to prove himself as equal or even better than them.
this also results in him being extremely competitive against Denmark & Sweden.
Norway is actually really good at woodwork, but his skills are always overshadowed by Sweden, who is admittedly far better than him.
however, Norway is the best nordic at knitting! He loves it, and he takes great pride in the things he knits. He actually loves to knit jumpers with Norwegian patterns on for his friends to wear in the winter time. And he basically lives in his many different marius gensers he’s knit for himself.
Norway is a formidable gift giver, he always somehow finds the best present to gift someone for their birthday or for Christmas. He actually prefers to give them hand made gifts too. He will rarely get someone something that’s store bought.
he loves cats and he has two Norwegian forest cats of his own, they’re called Oskar and Mons. His babies 🥰
Norway is extremely non-committal. At least, in terms of relationships. He values his freedoms and his independence far too highly, and he’s absolutely prettified of actually falling in love. He finds it far easier to just have meaningless hook ups that neither part acknowledges in the morning. And if he does date someone, he often runs away before things get serious.
Norway is actually scared of fire, at least really big ones. Small ones are fine. But his cities have burnt down so many times throughout history, and I actually think Norway was a victim of the witch trials too. So a huge bonfire is absolutely a no-go for Norway.
norway has a flat in oslo, entirely for work purposes, a house in Trondheim, which is farrr more homely and he much prefers, as well as a cabin up in Lofoten. The highest honour you could achieve as Norway’s friend is to be invited to his cabin. It’s his private little space to escape to during the summer. No electronics or wifi, just nature.
Norway has dimples, but because he rarely smiles not many people know of them.
of course, we know Norway feels deeply connected to the magic and the folk lore of his home. But he also loves learning about the folklore from other countries in the world too. He always tried to find a book of folktales in every single country he visits.
Norway is a formidable story teller, which is quite good, because he loves passing on his mythology to everyone who cares to listen.
Norway actually has a little nisse friend who lives in his house in Trondheim. He’s an absolute menace sometimes, but nor still loves him. But he’s also developed a habit of blaming this little nisse every single time something goes missing, even if he’s not in Trondheim.
he loves music. He is a formidable singer, and he plays the violin, the electric violin, and the hardanger fiddle.
Norway is great at navigating the sea and mountains, but absolutely dreadful at navigating cities. If he’s going to an unfamiliar city, he will need someone to show him around or he will get horribly lost.
#quite a bit here#I wrote these at like midnight#and just copy and pasted them over#so if they’re a bit sloppy 🫠🫠#I tried to clean them up a bit#you can still tell when I gave up trying to make them all link together in a neat order#and just went ‘fuck it’ and threw them together#decided to leave out the ScotNor ones#and the ones that hit upon more triggering topics#hetalia#hws norway#my little cutie pie#I want to squish his cheeks

idk how to live so im going to talk to myself out loud until i do
#listen. take a deep breath. i know your bpm is high but you need to think with me for a second.#remember that you are paper thin. all your facets are sheets of paper and what you gave her is just another one.#make a new one. you dont need it. you dont need her to see you. i know you think you need her but you will be okay. i know its hard.#you wish you could have shown her how you loved her. listen to yourself. you are made of paper.#she might be concrete or maybe wood or maybe gold. you need to start laying your roots elsewhere. shut that thought down#and blink and listen. the parts you keep thinking of arent lost. they still happened and they are yours to keep.#there is beauty in this loss. tell me about the beauty in this loss. its okay to think about it. you got to see it all and nothing more#and this is great because it would have been bad. you know it would be violent in a way you dont need. you know this to be true.#you are going to look at that empty space in her shape and youre going to fill it with everything that happened when you knew her.#the memories with her but then also the the way your friends talked you through it. the game with the clovers.#your first allergic reaction you almost died and you couldnt stop laughing and you were held so close to their hearts.#learning the names for all the floursecent gene tracking dyes that everyone else knows already. about the exam - listen again.#i know you think if you fail your life is over but you need to try your best. youre not going to get a good grade in a uni test for the fir#youre going to make up for it. youre going to make sure you make up for it. do you understand? i love you. you have to do this.#right now you need to sit up. breathe. i know your heart hurts. go to the living room. grab something to eat. i dont care if you feel full.#youre going to clean your mattress heater. youre going to study a bit longer and then youre going to sleep. youre going to tell your mother#im sorry and i might genuinely fail a test. shes going to tell you its okay. if you do badly in this course you can just become a neurosurg#just agree. dont argue right now. its okay. youre okay. you are paper thin. i know any puncture hurts.#breathe. think of your friends. think of their hands in yours. it isnt eternal.youve lived through worse. the empty sky is still beautiful.#the lack of her is still beautiful

My dad is like a cartoon character to me because why is he always announcing his every move like I gaf. "I just had 6 sandwiches but don't you worry about poor ol' Carlos... I still have space for my coffee with milk" okay.... good for you I guess. Everything he says is so random and inconsequential and he moves so strangely too like I am aware I do the exact same thing but it's wild to see it on someone else. Yesterday I told him he's going through menopause and he went "Nooo I'm pregnant" I asked with WHO and he just said my mom's nickname. Also he does in fact refer to himself as "pobre Carlos" and "Carlos Puerta" the 1st one being because he grew up really really poor and the 2nd one cause he's always fixing doors at his job. He is not a real human being to me he's like on the same level of mythical roommate as Mila
#diary#He behaves so autistically sometimes it's not even funny. also I get my stutter from him. go figure#''chucky come look at my toy car collection'' and he's laid them all out on his and my mom's bed#(he calls every kid ever Chucky)#he gave me a pair of pants he got for himself but ended up not liking and now keeps trying to give me clothes I don't need#also ''you know what we should buy you like 5 pairs of those same exact pants'' like Okay my thoughts exactly but I am good on clothes now.#he's always weird about gifts too in the sense that he Needs to give things to people.#Anyone who comes over WILL be leaving with a pack (or two) of these white cloths we use for cleaning. and they all love them

fun guessing game you get to have with your family when you're mixed: was the shit they pulled racially motivated or not
#they brought home a job app for me for a hibachi place#i am pretty happy with doing my cleaning + art tho and i don't really want to do anything culinary or food service related#i'd rather just get more hours again cleaning :/ idk i'll think about it but i don't handle time-pressure well#cleaning is good for me because as long as i accomplish the tasks i am okay and i can do them in any order i want#anyway i have to be careful though because if i go too long without 'working enough' for their tastes they start taking furniture out of#my room lol#thankfully i finally was able to buy most of my own furniture though during my job so the only things they could take now are like#the tv bookcase and fan#i guess they could take the computer too but they gave that to me years ago so it would be kinda weird if they did#i am a grown ass man but i'm probably not gonna be free from this shit until i can finally move out#gahhh it is what it is#i'm gonna text my boss on monday and see if there's any open buildings i could take for at least another day of work#if not then i'll pick up something random i guess#but i honestly like having more time/energy to work on my art even though being home more sometimes sucks#i might try to do longer days to make up for it?#idk. lots to think about.

Flashlight travels across the old picture frames, drowning in dust and cracks of the bleak landscapes and unsettling portraits.
