“You… you know what that song is about, don’t you?” Crowley was whipping a single tear out of the corner of his eye. “Well, of course! It’s a really nice pop song about praying and hearing your name being called by God.” He was interrupted by another burst of laughter. Had his friend finally lost his mind? They had been drinking, but not for long, and the wine bottle was only half empty. What was the big fuss about him liking a pop song? “Okay… oh, damn,” he looked at him like this was a very serious matter and pursed his lips slightly, “I hate to be the one to break it to you, Angel.” “Break what? Crowley, for the love of- tell me!”

Aziraphale and Crowley drink wine and play "Smash or Pass".

Day one of @tricrackweek -Furry!

Meryl is a rabbit because of her quick wit and because of how often she’s underestimated for being “too cute". Milly is a lion because I think Milly Thompson deserves a big mane! Also because of her loyalty and protectiveness. She’s a big lady, she should be a big cat.

Wolfwood is a cat because my partner said so and I do think it’s funny. Vash is a jerboa. I don’t need to explain myself, but you can look under the cut for more convincing.

(I’m realizing now I made Vashwood and Millymeryl predator/prey couples. Love that for them<3)

More jerboa Vash! I mean look at these guys:

That’s Vash the Stampede to me. Silly little mouse guy.

L's Birthday Puzzlehunt: The Solutions

Hello, @lawlightzine puzzlehunters! As most of you are probably already aware, I was the author of Light's puzzles and messages this past week. If you arrived late to the game and want to try the puzzles for yourself, I've left the forms open. Otherwise, you can find the explanations and keywords to all of Light's puzzles below the cut.

First off, though, I want to give a huge shoutout to Mimi, who not only had the original "let's use Google forms to do an online cupsleeve event" idea that turned into this puzzlehunt, made all the graphics of Light's messages, and wrote L's final message, but also recorded L's lines for the closing video. None of this would have happened without him!

And now, the answers:

Day One: Light's Playlist

L, You’ve probably noticed I moved out of HQ for the time being. Don’t overreact; I’m not up to anything illegal. It’s just hard to plan surprises for the world’s second greatest mind while living under the same roof. I know you’ve been bored lately, so for your birthday, I’m offering you a case. Each day between now and Halloween, I’ll send you a new puzzle to solve. If you can figure out all the keywords, I’ll tell you where to find me. If not, I guess you’ll be spending your birthday alone. (Not for the first time, I’m sure.) Your first clue is in this playlist I made of songs that remind me of us. Give it a listen and tell me what you think. See you in a week. Light

Light's playlist puzzle was actually a joint effort by several mods and contributors; I gave everybody in the zine Discord the intended solution, and then we all brainstormed songs that both reminded us of Lawlight and fit that solution. I included a Youtube playlist option so that people who don't have Spotify could enjoy the bonus Lawlight playlist as a companion to the zine, but the solution to the puzzle is much more obvious if you open the Spotify version:

The first letter of each song title spells out the message "L, do you know? The password is HANDCUFFS."

Day Two: The Anagrams

L, Today’s keyword means everything to me, but in another context, it means absolutely nothing. Knowing you, you can probably figure it out from that riddle alone. But just in case, I’ve given you some clues to unscramble that should help you see what I mean. Good work solving yesterday’s keyword, even if you did end up asking for help. I don’t mind; if anything, it’s flattering. Just don’t bring them along to the final surprise, all right? I intend on paying for everything, but my bank account has limits. Light

The trick to this puzzle is that the anagrams weren't necessary to solve it; the real puzzle was Light's riddle at the start of the message. The anagrams were just there to hint at which "other context" Light was talking about. When unscrambled, the words were:

CHIP

FAULT

VOLLEY(*)

SERVICE

BASELINE

ADVANTAGE

CHALLENGER

What all these words have in common is that they're all tennis terms. Thus, the keyword was the term that means a score of nothing in tennis: LOVE. (*)In retrospect, this one was a bad word choice, since the word "LOVELY" is also spelled with those same letters. Luckily, since the people who unscrambled it as "LOVELY" thought that the fact it wasn't a tennis word was a hint that they should convert it to a tennis word (and thus input the keyword "LOVE"), it still worked. But that was just a lucky accident...which, ironically, may make this screw-up the most in-character thing I did all week. Light Yagami is the king of capitalizing on lucky accidents, after all.

Day Three: The Clock Puzzle

L, I said I would always make time for you, didn’t I? I originally planned to use photos of my watch for this puzzle, but given our history, I was afraid you might take that as a threat.  I have to admit, it’s a bit boring here without you. I don’t know how you’ve stayed a hermit for so long. The payoff will be worth it, though…assuming you can figure this keyword out in time. But your interest in catching me has never flagged before, so I doubt you’ll give up so easily now. Light

Fun fact: I really did originally plan to use the replica of Light's watch I have for cosplay to stage this puzzle, but I couldn't figure out how to wind it to different times. Light may be a genius, but sadly, I'm not.

The key hint to this puzzle was the word "flagged." Flag semaphore is a method of signaling messages from a distance using two handheld flags, which are held at various angles (which look very similar to the hands of a clock) to indicate letters. Starting from the top clock and working around clockwise, the clock faces in the puzzle spelled out the keyword APPLES:

Day Four: The Crossword

L, Sure, I’m not the first person to use a crossword to get your attention, but “unoriginal” is far from the worst thing you’ve ever called me. Besides, my crossword is far more clever. I doubt you’ll ever admit that to me out loud, but you don’t have to. I’ve always been able to see more about you than you think. Give your new team my regards. Light

Here is the completely filled-in crossword, with the keyword (SHINIGAMI EYES) highlighted:

For this puzzle, I started with the central cross (SHINIGAMIEYES and BIRTHDAYCAKES) and worked my way out from there. I really tried to include CONVICTION somewhere, but I wasn't able to make it work, so I worked it into one of the clues instead (EXONEREE, "A person without conviction?"). I also tried to work in as many Lawlight/Death Note specific clues as I could, to really sell this as a personal puzzle Light was giving to L:

Watari's favorite public broadcaster: BBC

You, in Misa's opinion: DOXY

The Scottish term for how you often talk: DRANTING(*)

Next in line?: NEAR

A unique or extraordinary individual (in general, not me specifically): ONER

Ryuzaki and Asahi, for example: ALIAS

Your favorite part of Halloween: BIRTHDAYCAKES

Fate, in your homeland: WYRD

Connected, like we used to be: CHAINED

(*) Per Merriam-Webster, dranting means "speak[ing] in a tiresome, whining drawl." It's affectionate teasing. Probably.

Day Five: The Chess Puzzles

L, It occurred to me while I was planning this case that I would have to miss our weekly chess game, but I hope today’s clues can serve as the next best thing. I promise I’ll challenge you to a proper makeup game the moment I get back, but for now—win or lose—this is it.  All the puzzles are mate in one…and white to move, of course. As a lesser player once told me, he who strikes first wins. Light

(Yes, the inclusion of "win or lose, this is it" was a deliberate reference to the song "Stalemate" from Death Note: The Musical. It's a chess puzzle. I couldn't resist.)

This puzzle was pretty straightforward: figure out which square a White piece needs to move to in order to checkmate Black, then check what letter that square was assigned on the blank board. Here are the winning moves for all eight puzzles:

Qd8 = T

Nb3 = H

Qh5 = E

Bf6 = B

Nc2 = E

Ne7 = L

Ra1 = L

g4 = S

Putting those letters in order results in the keyword: THE BELLS.

Day Six: The Killer Sudoku

L, Once I learned that English-speakers call samunamupure “killer sudoku,” I knew should make one for you. I didn’t choose the nickname (and I never liked it), but without Kira, we would probably never have met. Which would have been a shame for both of us, I think…though especially for you. You’re welcome. The colored sections are what count toward the keyword. I’m sure you don’t need me to spell it out any more than that. Light

The fully solved Kira sudoku:

As Light's message hinted, the trick to finding the keyword was to add up the totals in each of the colored sections and convert them into letters:

Red = J, the 10th letter of the alphabet

Orange = U, the 21st letter of the alphabet

Yellow = S, the 19th letter of the alphabet

Green = T, the 20th letter of the alphabet

Blue = I, the 9th letter of the alphabet

Indigo = C, the 3rd letter of the alphabet

Purple = E, the 5th letter of the alphabet

Putting those letters in their rainbow color order results in the keyword: JUSTICE.

Day Seven: Light's Cipher Message

L, I’m sure that by now you’re all but boiling over with curiosity about what I have planned for you tomorrow, but I won’t give that secret away just yet. I will, however, tell you something else you need to know…if you can find the keyword to crack the encryption I put on the message. Your team of helpers will need to be especially bright to figure this one out, and even you may even have to shift your perspective for once. Remember this: the key to your happiness will be the key to your success. See you tomorrow. I miss you. Light

The use of "shift" in Light's message was a hint that the puzzle was a Vigenere cipher, which works by shifting the letters of the message by different amounts based on an encryption keyword. In plaintext English, the puzzle reads:

WE WON'T SEE ANY SAKURA BLOSSOMS THIS TIME OF YEAR, BUT IT SHOULD BE A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE ALL THE SAME. MEET ME AT THE CAFE NEAR TO-OH UNIVERSITY AT NOON. ONCE YOU GET THERE, I'LL TELL YOU THE REST.

Putting the cipher text into an online cipher tool like dcode would allow someone to brute-force the solution. However, just like in the anagrams puzzle, the answer to this one could also be deduced purely from the clues in Light's message to L. What is both "bright" and "the key to [L's] happiness?"

LIGHT, of course.

Hi I had a flieder dream post in my rp and wanted to share here :>

Copy and pasted from discord so forgive any format weirdness

As Flieder rests, her train of thought drifts in and out of consciousness. The sound of her violin echoing in her mind trudges up a memory she attempted to bury on her trip to the mining facility, one of her life before.

0056’s hooves hitting the pristine tile echoes down the estate hall, bouncing off tall walls and curving with the coved ceilings. She looks down at her watch as it clicks, the rhythmic sound of the gears turning inside brings 0056’s focus to it. ‘21:45, right on time.’ she thinks as she stops at the bedroom door at the end of the hall. She puts on a warm smile before knocking three times and then entering the room.

She opens the door to the young madam’s room, immediately noticing that she’s laid her toys out on the floor to play with them again. While this did ruin 0056’s organization, she couldn’t be mad at the child for being happy. The bedroom walls were covered in rudimentary drawings of the household gestalt family and some of the replika workers. Her favorite, though, was the one of the young gestalt girl holding hands with a green-eyed Eule, it made her smile even widen when she saw it.

The young gestalt girl was sitting on her bed in the back center of the room, her nightwear already on. Her face was scrunched in frustration as she held an instrument in her hands, one far too large for her little fingers as she attempted to slide the bow across the strings in vain. Her eyes lit up as the Eule entered her room. Her face was blurry in the memory, Flieder tried to focus on it but her mind failed her, all she could recall were the bright brown eyes of the girl and the slightly crooked, toothy smile.

*“Flieder!” the young girl exclaimed, 0056 was shocked for a moment, she was surprised the new nickname had reached the ears of the gestalts. Nevertheless, she smiled back. “Hello, █████, it’s time for bed.” She responded as she walked over and sat on the foot of the bed.

"But I’m not tired!” the girl pouted as Flieder began to pull the covers up and arrange the pillows.

Flieder chuckled a bit as she finished, “You say that every night but then fall asleep as soon as I leave, dear.” She reached to gently grab the instrument away from her, “I see you’ve been practicing the violin.”

The girl lays down under the covers and crosses her arms in frustration, “It’s too hard! I can’t press the strings. It’s stupid.”

" Oh come on, practice makes perfect █████, I’m sure your father wouldn’t appreciate you throwing in the towel so early.” Flieder looks down at the violin in her hands, she doesn’t play it herself so it’s a bit hypocritical to scold the child for it.

█████ thinks for a moment before her face brightens with an idea, “Can you learn it? Then you can teach me!”

Flieder’s eyes widen with surprise, not expecting the request, “Me? I don’t think I’d be a very good player…”

The young gestalt sits up slightly with renewed energy, “You will be! You taught me other stuff so this should be easy! Then I won’t have to practice so much on my own.”

Flieder sighed, if it was a request, she couldn’t exactly refuse. She thinks for a moment then gives in “Alright fine, I will try. But that doesn’t mean you can skip out on practice, ok? We’ll have to learn it together.” She pulls the covers up over the girl as she falls back on the feather pillows, “And you can’t make fun of me when I’m bad at it.”

The girl laughed a bit as she sank into the mattress, getting tired just on time. “Ok, I won’t I promise.” Her eyes began to shut as Flieder went to turn off the bedside lamp. “I love you Flieder…” she whispered.

Flieder tensed for a moment, she knew she wasn’t supposed to show the child too much affection but her heart ached if she didn’t. “...I love you too, █████. Goodnight.”

The child muttered back as Flieder got up to exit the room, violin in hand. As she closed the door she looked down at it. She would learn how to play it, just for her.

----

Flieder woke from the dream memory with a start, coolant drops forming on her brow. After a moment, she sighed and put her head in her hand, moving her bangs out of the way. The cold suffocating metal of the room only reinforced the difference between what she once had and what she is stuck with now.

She looks over to see the violin next to her on the bed, she must have forgetting to put it away last night. The sight of it makes a pit of sadness in her chest, her throat bobbing as old memories still play in her mind. Not being able to bear it, she gets up and slides the instrument under her bed where it belongs. She gets up and moves towards the mirror. The night left her looking messy, no where near her own standards. As she goes to adjust her hair, she sees her left eye twitch, creating an ugly asymmetry on her face. She looks up and barely touches the lower lid as it spazzes and lets out another sigh.

"Work. Work will take it off of my mind." After attempting to fix her appearance a bit more, Flieder moves past her bed once again, the thought of the violin still burning like a flare under her bunk. She moves into the hallway and begins her day.

Behold: A Fold Penguin!

Thanks to Marisha in the first episode of Moonward, penguins now exist in the Midst cosmos. Taking the transcript cues of "quite large" and "cattle animals" I have decided that they are big & agreeable enough to ride, when trained properly. Seen here featuring a grown-up Tzila, living her biologist dream, ready for takeoff!

Notes & additional sketches under the cut:

Native to the Mediun, flightless during the day but able to fly/swim the Fold at night

Reliable transit between Fold-bound islets for a rider, but with significant risk for islet with any time in the Un since the penguin would drop from the sky when the Fold recedes

Stark coloration serves as camouflage when briefly diving up into the Un to avoid Fold predators or to hunt; from above they look like Fold and from below they blend in with mica

Spots of bright iridescent feathers on their caps serve to attract and herd Fold prey, and also function as false eyes to fool predators like blinders into thinking they are too large to pursue

Less dense plumage than earth penguins, able to poof their feathers out at night and sleek them down during the day to adapt to the big temperature swings.

The position of their feathers also affects their perceptible color, shifting between ruddy to dark on top and iridescent to dull grey on the underside, creating the most favorable coloring for the day/night environment. They can puff and smooth the feathers to "flash" the iridescence while hunting or to communicate with each other.

They have a variety of favored prey in the Un and the Fold, including mirrorhawks, which they catch when they stray into the Fold or by diving upward into the Un to snatch them like an orca going after a seagull.

Their stomachs are able to break down a fair amount of mica and bocular mechanics consider them an annoyance for swallowing metal odds and ends to aid in the digestion process.

22, 65, 71 :)

This is in reference to this post. I think I’m gonna answer these a little bit out of order. Just so that all the tags are at the end, y’know?

22. What’s the hottest sex dream you’ve ever had?

This one is a little difficult cuz not only do I not remember my dreams very often (or for very long), but I also rarely have sex dreams it would seem. Though Recently I did have one that I made a small post about. TL;DR a tumblr mutual shotgunned be weed for several hours. There was no sex and the dream itself was not that horny but when I woke up I was very wet from it

71. Start typing out your dirtiest fantasy you can think of and don’t stop til you get so embarrassed you can’t go on any longer. Just make sure it’s actually something you’re into!

Hmmmm… because i've been answering over the course of a full day I got more than one for this.

I've been playing a lot of Corruption of Champions II lately (as recommended by a favorite mutual) so a lot of my fantasizing has been related to monsterfucking and demonic corruption and the like. Like the thought of being a demon's favorite fuck pet has been a go-to recently. The idea that a massive and all-powerful demon woman would look at me and see me as a perfect whore for her to get off with. How long would I deny her? Months of her filling my mind with impossible fantasies and pleasures that could only be real if i'd just submit? Weeks of her visiting me in my dreams to make me live them out night after night? Days of her taking an incorporeal form to tease me in public? Or would i just submit immediately? Bound to an eternity of servitude, never not knowing bliss. Maybe i make a deal to bind myself in exchange for my ideal body, and she turns me into the perfect avatar of her influence, that she might take control to walk this earth and fuck Who she pleases when she pleases. My senses still hooked up but with her at the controls, how long would it be before my mind melts entirely and I'm reduced to her perfect priestess pet?

As far as more realistic/achievable fantasies go, I… have tried to write this like 8 times over the course of the day so fuck it. Not gonna get fancy with it. I wanna be tied down, on either a table or bed, and have various areas tested. Experimented on. Blindfolded and bound. Have my world reduced to what I can feel and hear. The hushed chatter of a group of lab techs discussing plans for the day. The padding of feet and squeaking of wheels as someone approaches me. I can almost feel the heat radiating off them as they carefully inspect my naked body, thinking they’re down by my legs then yelping in surprise when they grope my tit, which gives way to moaning as they continue. More hands appear, fingertips tracing my still growing curves before vanishing from my perception, only to reappear somewhere else. Gently choking neck or grasping thighs. One of those dildo gags or whatever they’re called shoved down my throat because my whines are distracting some of the assistants. Nipples getting pinched and then sucked on, whether by machine or attendant I do not know. Ass being spread, first by fingers then by some manner of equipment. I don’t know what it is, but I do know it's cold and smooth and slick and I want it inside me. Small pulsing and thrusting mechanisms for muffing They seem to have some sort of machine for whatever, even slightly, erogenous zones they find. The gag is removed and the hands retreat, followed by the sounds of feet and heavy breathing. A buzzer sounds and I’m asked a series of questions from a speaker somewhere above me. Cycling through which dildo size, texture, and thrusting angle feels best for both ass and cunts. Then trying different combinations. What level of suction feels best on which nipple? Is it the same for your cock? What about vibration? Electro stimulation? Did you know that you’ve come four separate times from having your neck bit? If there is ever a moment where I am too blissed out to answer a question when they pause, they simply start that question over so I can feel the options again. Hours and hours of testing, sometimes with breaks to wrench me into a new position, or to replace the gags. Maybe if I am not compliant enough the blindfold gets replaced with vr goggles and noise canceling headphones, my vision filled only with pink swirls and voices offering gentle praise. Maybe at end of day, each attendant who wants or needs it can have their way with me. After a full day of cataloguing exactly how to make me cum they get to put everything to the test. They note for future reference that they ought to incorporate this kind of work into the testing. Did you know she cums 60% faster with tdick in her mouth? Or that she will lick cum off of herself, and calling her desperate for it will--

For the record i didn’t get too embarrassed to continue… just too aroused

65. What are your top five favourite blogs to masturbate to? Tag them!

Not counting my partner, who I masturbate with, to, and on regularly (not tagging them cuz they don’t have a horny blog so technically they don’t count), my favs are:

@pan-galactic-enby has a wide variety of stuff on her blog with excellent taste in lewd bits. We love lusting over the eroticism of the machine with it. Very fun to flirt with and Very ghey ;) 

@butchcockiness2 writes some amazing t4t erotica that often uses dynamics that I hadn't considered. His posts (specifically this one and this one iirc) are responsible for me learning how to muff myself, and then teaching my partner to do it (11/10 experience btw, I don’t think people talk enough about how mind melting muffing can be). Also I greatly appreciate the COVID posts and masking resources; I’m the last person in my city to mask it seems and they help me feel like I’m not going insane

@blairdsm is just generally really cool? And hot? She has called me out multiple times for my tags on her fursona posts and I haven’t been the same since (you can find those here and here). Both of her fursonas have high-key inspired me to update my own (which I have actually started doing! The first post I have of her is here on my main). Excellent art and erotica blurbs to go with. Also she once offered to do hypnotism stuff with me and like, idk if that offer still stands, but if it does I may take her up on it, especially with a stressful semester coming up. Also also we’re mutuals on both main and side blogs and I think that’s fun and cool. Always a treat to see her in my notes

@slimegirlovipositers is the second ever porn blog I followed (the first was pan-galactic-enby) and I’m glad I’ve been consistently able to find her again through her countless terminations. Awesome taste in porn tho I miss the days when she would post the really niche shit (still does, it’s just less common than it used to be)

@catdog-coyote-butch and @boundbutchbottom are a couple (I think? I could be wrong) that I’ve only recently started to follow (though I’ve been silent mutuals with the former on main for a bit) but I we have similar tastes it seems. Idk, I don’t have a big blurb for these two they’re just hot and have good blogs I really like and I feel it’d be a shame to mention one without the other. 10/10 would recommend

9 and 13 for the rings of power ask game? 👀💍

I am so sorry for not answering this sooner! 😳🙈  I usually use Tumblr on my phone, and for some reason, messages don't always show up in my inbox when I'm on my phone... I'm on my laptop tonight, and just saw this ask! Thank you so much, I love these! 💖

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the Rings of Power ask game.

9. What is your favorite scene?

Ooh, this is a tough one! It's hard to choose just one, there are so many good ones. Finrod with little Galadriel in Valinor is definitely up there, I loved the caring, kind and protective older brother-younger sister dynamic. I could go on and on about a lot of scenes, lol. But since I can only pick one, I'm going with Sauron's reveal. I love everything about it. The scenery, Halbrand starting off cheerful and enthusiastic about the working on the rings, the sudden tension, Halbrand's little smirk, Galadriel's realization and attack, Sauron's display of strength, his offer for Galadriel to join him... All of it. ^_^ Definitely one of the top scenes of Season 1.

13. What is your favorite location from the show?

There are so many gorgerous locations, though from a Lord of the Rings production I would expect nothing less. ;) My favorite, I think, is Númenor. It is a really beautiful place, with the enormous carvings and impressive architecture. I love how it looks a bit Mediterranean but with a Tolkien twist, as well as looking reminiscent of Gondor but as an island. The surrounding sea is lovely, and I like the Númenorean ships & strong naval presence. I would definitely spend a lot of time in their Hall of Lore.

Eregion is a close second, though. The area in Ost-in-Edhil where Sauron is revealed to Galadriel is particularly lovely. And I have to give an honorable mention to Khazad-dûm; it looks nothing like what you would expect to find in a cave, while simultaneously looking like what you wish you could find inside a cave whilst exploring. If that makes sense. ;)

finally finished this wasteland gate piece after it sat for several months

i wish i could experience wasteland for the first time again it was so amazing
