#I love Lark so much ❤

"The jungle is more than my home."

Windthrow belongs to @son1c

Lark belongs to me!

Windthrow didn't quite turn out how I wanted. He's a bit off, but I guess that's what I get for not drawing Werehog Sonic at all before this, lol.

Anyway, introducing Lark the Hedgehog! Lark is a really interesting case. He was born in the far reaches of the Bosscage Maze, thousands of miles from Prim's group of scavengers. At a young age, Lark discovered his ability to communicate with plants and wildlife. When he listened hard enough, he discovered that each living thing contains a small section of one of the ancient songs. Lark started collecting these pieces until he he had compiled four songs. (He has thousands of incomplete little bits though.) When playing these songs on his pan flute, Lark is able to communicate with the deepest essence of nature, leaving him in somewhat of a trance-like state for a bit afterwards.

Lark wandered the Bosscage for years, helping out any distressed flora or fauna he found. He occasionally ran into other tribes of mobians or the rare humans, but he was never allowed to stay with them. They all saw his powers as cursed and unnatural. He was cast out every time.

Eventually, Lark felt the presence of the Great Green. He was drawn to it, as it had an essence unlike any he had ever known. Lark found and talked with the mega palm tree until Thorn caught him, returning from chasing off the Scavengers again. After a rocky start, Lark and Thorn became good friends. Lark told Thorn a lot about his powers. Over the following months, they became close and even started to develop feelings for each other. However, this happiness would not last forever.

When Lark discovered that Thorn was keeping the Scavengers out of the jungle, they had a fight. Lark was insistent that Thorn couldn't starve them, but she wouldn't listen. Lark ultimately decided to go help them. Thorn angrily told him not to come back. Lark tried to help the Scavengers with his powers, but like everyone else, they cast him out. Lark disappeared back into the forest to keep wandering.

Now that everything is okay between Thorn and the Scavengers, Thorn regrets banishing Lark. Will she ever see him again?

If Lark and Windthrow ever met, I think they'd have fun together. Lark could probably help Windthrow on his supply runs by making sure nothing attacks them. Mostly though, I think they'd just wrestle, lol. I think Windthrow could unlock a much more playful part of Lark that he hasn't brought out in years.

Hi hello. I'm reading your Soldier and the Demon fic. 15/10. You absolutely slayed this. But I'm on chapter 16 where he's going back through his memories and you got me thinking about leveling mechanics in dnd lol. If they're just aging does a character level at the same rate?

Thank you for writing this fic. I've been listening to dndaddies for a bit over a year now but this is my first time reading something in the fandom. And now you've given me this debate question to argue with my cousin later ❤❤❤❤❤

But like also if you play dnd and have thoughts on how that would work in a game, I am all ears 😁😁😁😁

First of all, thank you so much for your kind words! This fandom is seriously the nicest and the best!

Second, when writing this out I didn't think too too hard about DnD spells/rules/levels other than the spell slot rule(mostly used as an excuse for Lark and Nick to take care of each others after battle hehehe)

That being said, here is my theory. I wouldn't think they level at the same rate they age. I think they level based on their experience. So I imagine by the end of season 1 they are still only level 2/3 because they haven't done much actual fighting. I imagine their dads try to prevent them from fighting but realize the kids have daddy magic so let them do a little. In episode 23 we see a flash back to the s2 dads as teens and they are taking care of business with their dads help so I imagine them being level 4/5 there. As they aged they level upped but i imagine their levels stagnate after some time because their fathers refuse to let them fight certain difficulty of monsters so they are left fighting the trash mobs.(Imagine being level 7 in a campaign and just fighting rats in a sewer for years. You'd level so much slower!) As adults (and after their dads "leave") they start fighting harder more intense monsters and are probably much closer to levels 10-15 by the time season 2 starts(understanding that level 20 is basically god status).

Anyways that's my theory anyways! Thanks for coming to my ted talk lololol! Loved to hear everyone else thoughts!

Book Review ❤

I will be thanking @babs_reviews for commenting 𝙱𝚞𝚝𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚛 & 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚋𝚒𝚛𝚍 on one of my posts because if she had not, I wouldn't be reminded about this book on my tbr for a while now 😆

That's to say, I finally read some books that's I've been holding on reading.

I also now understand the 'cookies and cream ice cream' horror that @kindleandkettle informed me 😆— THAT'S THE ONLY THING I'M REPULSED ABOUT other than the psychotic bad guys Sloane and Rowan ended 🙈 With that being said, I definitely need to check out more from this author aside from this series 🤚🏽

I've also included some of the many notes and highlights I did while reading, so check them out if you want as well (3rd and 4th photo) 🫶

Anyway, I do hope you are having a good day and manifesting that you will love/ like your current and next reads ♥️

𝙳𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚁𝚎𝚊𝚍 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚁𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚍: July 13, 2024 𝚁𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜: 4⭐️ I had so many laughs and giggles while reading this novel. I'm now quite regretting not reading this away and keeping on putting it off every time I thought of reading it before. But now, I read it, finished it, and enjoyed it so much 🤚🏽 The writing is definitely the major aspect I enjoyed in this story. It was just that engaging and entertaining for me. There weren't any dull or boring parts at all. The couple— Sloane and Rowan, were wonderful and unhinged. I love them ���. I also liked that we get to see some backstories of their character. I also would like to mention the smutty 🌶🌶🌶 chapters: it was very freaky of them, well suited for their characters. I also had so much fun with Sloane and Rowan's 'hunt' or their 'competition'. I liked how the story went into detail with it. It was gory, especially the 'cookies and cream' — I drew a line on this one. Also, THAT GUY THAT IS CONNECTED WITH THE COOKIES AND CREAM ICE CREAM, I was right about that 🤚🏽. He was definitely suspicious, his parts towards the ending— I wish it was more drawn out. The side characters were also equally captivating, I can't wait for Lachlan and Lark's story. I'll definitely be reading it the soonest. I'm also quite intrigued by the epilogue? I have theories about it, I'll just see if I'm right in the next instalment. TW: murder, gory, body horror, blood, cannibalism

REVIEW: Morbidly Yours by Ivy Fairbanks

5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My heart is so full! Oh my gosh!!! I loved this book so much!! 🖤❤

It was well-written, and the plot was fresh and different, making me feel like I do when I read Emily Henry or Ashley Poston. Extraordinary!

Lark, an American widow, gets a job in Ireland, hoping to run away from her pain and start over. Callum, an Irish mortician, is meant to inherit his family's funeral home if he can wed by his 35th birthday. The two meet, and a friendship ensues.

CALLUM. CALLUM. CALLUM. 🥵🥵

He was everything! I loved his shy, reclusive character, his stutters, and the way he opens up to Lark. He's closed off on the outside but has so much more to offer. Lark is bright and energetic externally but carries deep sadness and guilt internally. They balance each other and bring out the best in each other.

I enjoyed the Irish setting, cultural references, and language. I even learned a couple of things about dead bodies and the embalming process 😅

This book was the perfect mix of emotional and funny. Cozy, romantic, and the SPICE was SO GOOD. 🌶🌶🌶The build-up, tension, and angst were exactly what I love!

The next book was set up nicely, and will feature Cielo and Aidan. I liked that there wasn't too much spotlight on them in this book, just a mention. Sometimes authors are too obvious with their intentions for a second book, so I appreciated how this was done!

Don't walk, run to read this book! You won't regret it. Although it's not spooky, the setting and theme are perfect for an autumn TBR. I'm excited for the next book in the series! ☘🍀

LARK AND SOUP!!!!! OH MY ODDS I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! THESEA ARE INDEED THE DESIGN EVER❤

hello . creatures :]

[geeky-politics-46]

Holy shit you guys, I now have 1000 followers!!! This genuinely blows me away.

Last year, almost a year ago exactly, I started this on a lark just to try a new hobby & distract myself from the depressions of online dating. I honestly didn't really expect anyone to read my stuff. It just seemed easier than trying to write a diary. I don't get why you like my stuff, but I'm glad you do.

The fact that so many of you seem to enjoy or at the very least are interested in my ramblings makes my heart want to explode.

You have no idea how much you all mean to me & how much your likes & comments make my days better. Thank you & I love you all! ❤💕❤💕❤💕

Here's to another year of trash & general smuttyness!! 🍹🍸🍷🎉🎉🎉🍹🍸🍷

Hi, how are you? I thought maybe you could give us some hc about Pero as a father... We know him alot as a husband, but I miss him as a father. Ilysm ❤❤❤

Pero Tovar As a Father:

He really hadn’t expected to settle down. Always figuring that one day he would die by another sold sword, on a battlefield. It was inevitable for those that lived his lifestyle. 

However, after China, his priorities shifted. He came upon a village that needed a sword for protection and it was good deal. Food and lodging and a few coins in exchange for his scowls and threatening demeanor to keep the unsavory robbers and thieves out of their town. 

It is a hell of a retirement. He meets his wife and decides that he will stay and hang up his saddle. 

By the time the first babe is born, Tovar is a man who is becoming well used to sleeping in the same bed every night. 

He’s terrified of harming the child, they are so small and he is so rough. But his wife assures him that he won’t. It’s amazing to that scowling face gentle when he looks down at his child, love shining in his eyes. 

Protective, God above is this man protective. Making sure the little one will stay safe while they are helpless. Anytime his wife needs to shop, he’s right there making sure no harm comes to the baby or to her.

Most nights when he comes in, he takes the babe from his wife while she finishes dinner. He doesn’t talk to them in a baby voice, but his tone is more gentle. 

As they get older, they climb all over him. Treating him as if he were a large oak tree. Or he will get down and wrestle with them playfully until his wife calls them both to the table.

1000% going to teach them how to weld a knife and fight when they are old enough. Although he is very adamant that they learn to read and write, no matter how much they complain.

Definitely teaches his child his native tongue. 

God forbid someone fuck with his kid......the really scary side of Tovar will come out in heartbeat.

[thisonesatellite]

for the fanfic ask game: 5, 19, 27 and 51 please and thank you!

Hello my dear - and thank you so much for this ask!  ❤❤❤

Let’s see what we got:

.

5.  Which fandoms have your written fanfiction for?

Only OUAT - and only CS.

i remember a long time ago, when i really liked BtVS, stumbling across a few random sites which had B/A fanfic, which i read and enjoyed.  However, the notion of fanfiction being A Thing, the notion of fanDOM being A Thing, never ever occured to me.  This was before fanfiction websites, so the pages i had found were literally just the personal websites of these people.  

i read the stories and then life got busy and i forgot about the whole thing.  And then, years later, OUAT happened.  i had been emotionally attached to other series and movies before that, but never quite like this, not since BtVS.  And then i remembered those stories.  i had actually encountered the term fanfiction in the interim, so - on a lark - one day i searched for ‘OUAT fanfiction’.  And stumbled across AO3.  Where i started reading.  

And - oh.  What a treasure trove it turned out to be. 

i was never going to write anything myself, didn’t apply for an account for months, and in the end i only did because i had a story idea knocking around my head which would not leave.  The story became The Road, taken.  And one day, i got a comment on it.

You cannot possibly imagine my surprise.  i thought AO3 was simply a place to “store” your writing.  Publicly, so that other people could read it, but i NEVER expected interaction.  Somehow i had not realized interaction was an option.  It was so odd - but motivating.  

And then one day, a person named @profdanglaisstuff​ left me an absolutely lovely comment on my second story, which turned into a wonderful ‘comment conversation’, and then she asked if i was on tumblr.  

And the rest is history. ❤

.

19.  Is there a ship which you wished you could get behind, but you just don’t feel them?

Oh - that’s a hard question.  Outlaw Queen and Rumbelle?  i like each of these for their interesting dynamics - personality-wise - and their volatile potential.  i think they’re fascinating.  But - it’s true: i just can’t feel them.

.

27.  What do you hate more: Coming up with titles or writing summaries?

That’s like asking me whether i prefer the black plague over cholera.  😂  But if i have to choose one, it would be summaries.  The titles do come easier.

Or rather - some titles i have found easily.  Some i even had before i started a story.  Some, not all.  

But.  A summary has never come easy.  

(Except for militae species amor est, which i wrote for @darkcolinodonorgasm​‘s AMAZING art for the @csrolereversal.  That’s the only summary that has ever just plopped into my brain, all two sentences of it - and that’s only because it was the most obvious possible choice, and Sara likes The Princess Bride even more than i do.)

.

51. Rant or Gush about one thing you love or hate in the world of fanfiction! Go!

i absolutely love the fact that people care enough about a piece of fiction to create content for it.  To connect to it so much that they have likes and dislikes and opinions; headcanons, thought processes, explanations, and emotional investment.  i love that there are different niches and ships and styles, love that there is space for everyone.  No matter what you like, you’ll find something to suit your tastes.  And if you can’t, you can make something for it.

It’s amazing to me that stories can be so powerful, they beget more stories,  inspire this kind of creativity in their audience.  And whether these stories manifest in written word or art - it means that people care so much about a world, about these characters with whom they connect, that they want to see it live on, want to be part of it.

That, to me, is incredible.

.

.

So - that was probably a lot more than you  bagained for!  Brevity might be the soul of wit, but it sure doesn’t wander into my asks, like, ever.

Again - thank you so much!!   ❤❤❤

[wendimydarling]

This is the entire premise of my story Worship, and any time I write soft!Aust. He sees a broken world and he cares SO much about it that he wants to fix it. 

Now, there is a part of him that does, in fact, hate the world. But he hates the world how it currently is, not for the possibility he sees in it. I equate him a lot to Thanos in this way. Thanos just wanted to even the playing field, to start over and restore peace. August wants the same.

I think the reason August comes off as cold and uncaring is due to his past. He is touch-starved, he’s been used, unloved, and rejected by everyone despite his many attempts to please and to satisfy, so he finally said “Fuck it. I see the world for how it could be and if you can’t see that, then I will make you.” This is specifically evident in the line he gives Sloane when he’s planting the seed that Ethan Hunt could be Lark:

“How many times has Hunt's government betrayed him, disavowed him, cast him aside? How long before a man like that has had enough?”

August isn’t talking about Hunt at all; he’s talking about himself, and you can see it clearly on his face. He’s angry that he hasn’t been listened to, that all he’s been used for is brute strength. 

I agree with your theory my love!! ❤

A Theory about August Walker

Ok, so I noticed that in many fics, August is depicted as incaring, cruel and that he hates the world. It's fine, if that's how you see him, carry on, we don't know that much about him...

But I see him a little differently. He cares. A lot. If he didn't, he wouldn't want to bring peace to the world. If he didn't care, he wouldn't want to unite the world's population. He is sick of all the lies governments tell their people, he is sick of oppression.

He wasn't after world domination; his Manifesto proves that. He was after freedom and peace... For the whole world, not only for himself. He loves the world, but sees that in order to free it, you have to make sacrifices. He is willing to make these sacrifices. For tje greater good.

Sure, he is cold and controlled, but he's not uncaring or even unloving. It's not that he doesn't feel, how I see him, he feels too much.

Something that always reminds me of August is a line from Fall Out Boy's Church "I love the world, but I just don't like the way it makes me feel"

You don't have to agree with me, but I just wanted to share my thoughts.

❤️

[dreams-of-a-lark]

piper-bright​:

♥❤♥

Piper straightened from her basket of eggs at the sound of a peppy string of names, all of which she’d heard before. He’d have to try a touch harder if he wanted to exceed expectations, but his attempts thus far were happily received. “Lark! Chickadee! Flamingo!” she called back as he neared with a brimming grin. She was solidly confident that he would run out of name options before she would, given the plethora of available birds.

It would be a stupendous occasion when she finally reached the Great Tit.

A lover of surprises, she perked up immediately, stepping closer to peer at his hands as if to catch a sneak peak. “Ooh,” she cooed, gingerly taking the little jar when he revealed it and turning it over in her hands. The powdered stuff in side revealed nothing to her eye, but it was a pleasantly neutral color. Just as carefully she uncorked it and held it up to her nose, wary of any impending sneezes, before sagging her shoulders in pleasure.

“It smells awesome,” she gushed. Her home had smelled of a mixture of overpriced perfumes, horse dander, and alcohol, but gosh she would have preferred the spice blend to that. It felt like the idea of home, a home she’d be bothered to return to. “Thank you so much, birdy, now I have to make island chili—“ Piper stopped with a dramatic gasp and reached out to grab his hand. “Wanna make chili right now? I was gonna stop for food anyway, but I wasn’t going to try anything adventurous. Will you help me make some, please?”

☁︎︎☽☀︎︎☾☁︎︎

Her name choices for the day took him by surprise and he couldn’t help, but laugh at the latter’s ridiculousness, “Flamingo, that’s a unique one. I like it, Pepperjack.” He stood on one leg mimicking a flamingo, “Do we share a likeness?” then, deciding he looked stupid and was probably embarrassing himself, he put his leg down. 

Her reaction was exactly what he’d been hoping for when he made the blend. Some of his friends here weren’t too big on surprises, in Luke’s case he could go so far as to say he even detested them. But, personally, Lark loved seeing the process  of emotions on people’s faces when they received a gift they weren’t expecting. Though he’d mostly ever been on the giving end of surprises, he knew there was always something incredibly special about it from both ends.

“You think so? Oh, I’m so glad!” Her enthusiasm was contagious and filled him with an excited energy. When she took his hand he cracked a wide smile, wanting nothing more in this moment than to help her make that chili, “Right now?” He stumbled out a laugh, then looked back at the farm, taking mental note that he wasn’t forgetting anything before he committed, “Yeah...” he looked back at her, “Yes. Of course, I haven’t got anything pressing at the moment. Let’s do it.”
