🌈NIGHT CITY PRIDE

... has been a blast with you all this year! 🏳️‍🌈

It all started with a small, random idea...

... and turned into one of my biggest VP projects so far - and also one of the most fun ones I ever worked on uwu

Thank you so much again to @lokiina @pinkyjulien @wraithsoutlaws @teddys-shion @therealnightcity @morganlefaye79 @taiyo-yokai @kharonion @chevvy-yates @lucky38-2077 @arcandoria and @sammysilverdyne for trusting me with your kiddos and celebrating Pride together this way ❤️💛💚💙💜🩷

Would love to again next year with even more friends and new ideas! :D

[All NC Pride 2024 Posts]

Some bonus behind the scenes shenanigans:

The whole gang is here! (Valentin was constantly wiggling and Dante had to be frozen because he was mean! At least in his merc outfit xD)

Rainbow arrangement (and Vicco's wig snatched and Hiro's legs and ass gone xD)

Those pesky shy rainbow flags!

Had to contain the NPCs by blocking the road with Judy's van because they kept walking into the shot with a death despawn-wish xD The more I despawned them the more followed, but like this they were finally properly contained (and watching over everything ominously).

*Dagger greatly disapproves*

And this is what happens when at the end you turn everyone hostile and unfreeze them. The three survivors/winners just stood there and did nothing while everyone else started murdering xD

Altogether, from finding a good location to setting up everything and taking the pictures (minus editing them all) this took around 4 hours to do XD Four hours well spent with lovely friends, thanks again for hanging out!! （づ￣3￣）づ╭❤️～

[miyaluvvsyou]

I hate America.

I hate this fucking country.

I hate that orange, old ass piece of shit and his fucking child predator ass vp.

I hate everyone that voted for that racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic piece of shit rapist.

I hate everyone who didn’t bother to exercise their right vote at all to try and save our country.

We are truly and royally FUCKED for, best case scenario, the next 4 years, worst case scenario, the next 40 years, thanks to our Senate and House of Reps being taken over by the Republican Party of facists.

I have never been more angry, more frustrated, more embarrassed to be an American. I truly am fucking disgusted to be here and part of this fucked up society and these fucked up systems.

I’m fucking tired of never feeling safe, supported, or respected as a Black woman in America. I’m fucking tired of having to explain to my siblings why people who are so hateful and nasty and cruel in our society are allowed to thrive and be leaders, while the rest of us suffer under their thumb. I’m fucking tired of Black women consistently fighting for people that don’t give a damn to fight for themselves.

I’m fucking tired of our (Black women’s) time, effort, and energy being wasted day-in and day-out. We deserve so much better than the bullshit we’ve had to handle over the last 500 years. It’s not our job to save you, save your fucking selves! We’re fucking done!

To my Black community who did the right thing, I’m so fucking sorry and my heart/soul is with you. You have a safe space here 🖤

To my LGBTQIA+ and queer friends who did the right thing, I’m so fucking sorry. My heart is with you and you have a safe space here ❤️

To my fellow women who did the right thing, I’m so fucking sorry. My heart is with you and you have a safe space here 🩷

To my people of color who did the right thing, I’m so sorry and my heart is with you. You have a safe space here 🩶

Unfortunately I am going dark for a couple days. Emotionally and mentally, I am not in a good place and I can’t be helpful to anyone if I’m not in a good place.

I love those who love me. Please protect yourselves and your families. I don’t know how we’ll survive this one guys…Please be safe out there.

2023 Letter.

Here we are again. It’s been a year since my last letter. This is my last post for 2023. I included a bunch of unreleased VP again.

Read the letter below:

This year has been a rollercoaster in many ways. It’s really easy to focus on the negative because it seems to take up so much space. But it’s important to take some time and think about the positive in life too to get some perspective.

Life is made up of tiny moments of happiness after all. ❤️

The Cyberpunk 2077 community is very important to me. "Stuff" we may or may not agree with is bound to happen no matter where we are, IRL or online. But no matter who you are, in the end we all want the same things; feel like we belong, make connections with people, escape real life for a while, have fun and feel safe.

I'm a broken record lol, but... Without you there wouldn't even be a community whatsoever. Thank you for being part of it and making it fun! ❤️

So, back to reminiscing on 2023...

If you know me, you know I'm a stubborn perfectionist. With that comes pessimism, but I’ve grown and gained a more positive outlook on life, which is something I’m proud of. It's not often I'm proud of something, striving for perfectionism and all, so admitting this is a huge achievement for me. I know I'm always gonna be a perfectionist when it comes to my art though, but that just forces me to be a better artist, so it's not all bad... As long as I don't overdo it, which is something I'm working on. My goal for 2024 is to stop being so hard on myself and upload more to Tumblr. ❤️

I started doing OC gif giveaways this year, and I definitely wanna do more, and not just gifs but VP too. I do these because I want to spread, excuse the cringe lol, happiness and positivity. I love to give back. It gives me purpose in life.

I started modding as well, which I wanted to do for months, but I was too scared because it seemed so complicated... But I did it. I'm proud I went out of my comfort zone for once.

So, Dear Everyone ❤️, once again...

Thank you for sharing your incredible art, writing, cosplay, mods, and the list goes on. I hope 2023 treated you well, if not, let's make 2024 beyond amazing! I want you to know that you make my day better no matter what is happening in my life. The simplest joke in a tag or a simple hi in a DM make me smile and laugh. And if this is how I feel, just know you make other people you've never met before feel this way too. I think that's pretty cool.

One day I might have to leave Cyberpunk 2077 behind, because that's how life goes sometimes. And that’s sad to think about... I’m not ready to put it behind me yet. At the same time it means that this community, and my OCs and yours will always have a place in my heart.

I will never forget you.

Here's to another year filled with lots of happy moments. ❤️

Bye 2023! Hello 2024!

Vicky

To everyone who made it this far, I have a little surprise... I’d like to do VP with one of your OCs. Comment on this post and tell me what you’re proud of in 2023. In a week-ish I’ll pick a random person (from the comments). :3

❤️❤️❤️

[fleet-off]

fic authors self rec! when you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. spread the self-love~<333333

Thank you for the ask, Yujeong! This took me a while to answer (I overthought the answers, as is my wont 😅), but it was so much fun.

A Close Shave

If running the razor down the side of Pete’s face felt intimate, the slick slide of blade against throat is something primal. Blood sings close to the surface, jugular an endless welling up, carotid a violent burst underneath. Drowning could not ease the pulse that sears through Vegas’s mind at the image—he suspects only one thing could. He could flick his wrist and end this. (He could nuzzle his face into the hollow of Pete’s neck and end this.)

In the safehouse, on the cusp of a transformation he cannot yet comprehend, Vegas shaves Pete’s face. Also a meditation on immolation and drowning. I struggle to compliment my own writing, but I think this fic has some of the best lines I’ve ever written. @sunshinesanctuary Dav did some devastating art for it, which made me cry heavily at the time and again whenever I think about it too hard (why are artists magic??).

a temporary abundance

Life used to be the means to a messy end, bodies tools given in service to a name larger than either of them. They are still learning what it means to live for living’s sake, to be made of flesh and openly want for all the things living flesh wants. It hurts because it matters. Such is living, and there is joy in being alive.

This little fic is more image than story—a golden moment of rest, Pete’s head in Vegas’s lap, and the recognition that the impermanence of stability makes it all the more precious. a temporary abundance was my first VP fic, and it has received some of my very favorite comments. It was how I met @theflowergirl Lily and my first interaction with @lu-sn lu.

Lapping at the Edges

There’s a kind of self-disgust you can find satisfaction in, narrow as the space between indignant inhale and resigned exhale. Ba, calling him a whore. The routine Vegas has straddled either side of: men much older than him, hungry for a taste of power, smiling through gritted teeth and sinking to their knees. His own knees, falling open as the world splits down its middle. Pete, frozen in the aftermath of a verbal blow. Inhale. Exhale.

Lapping at the Edges tormented me for ages—my evening of “drunk Vegas talks shit, asks to get hit” nonsense took two years to write after I trapped myself in an endless cycle of rewrites for chapter three. But ultimately, the struggle arose from my love for this story and the need to finish it right. I hope those who stuck around were satisfied by the ending. ❤️

won’t give up these ghosts

“Tell me what it’s like on the beach at night,” Vegas murmured as his head fell back onto Pete’s thighs. His mouth was a dark stain; his eyes were raptor-like. Pete caressed his head, searching for breath and words. “It’s like being the only stillness in the world,” he said at last. “The wet sand digs into your feet, and the sea is this massive moving thing you’re not a part of, and all you can see is water and sky and dark. And it sees you, but there’s nothing there to see of you. You’re safe. You’re—a void.”

All of my stories are in some sense about learning to live, but I suspect that message comes through clearest in this story, where Pete feigns death for the purpose of (nonsexual) funeral/body disposal roleplay. I love the contrast—lingering on death as an expression of the desire for life. (And Yujeong, I still often return to your comment on this one on hard days—it meant an awful lot to me.)

Passing Time

There are moments—too many, lately—when the tenderness presses heavy at the back of Vegas’s throat. Pete sits bright-eyed and pink-eared a mere breath away; he’s here, real and taking up space and confoundingly Pete and all, and when Vegas blinks he somehow continues to be. The weight of him dents his side of the couch and distorts the reindeer face on one of the Christmas-themed throw pillows.

It is a month—two, five, eight—since the world broke open and was remade in the shapes of what love is, and Vegas and Pete are still learning to live around the cracks. Writing in this kind of time-bound framework was a new challenge for me pacing-wise, and I think the result has some really lovely moments and lines. I wrote this fic as part of the 2023 KinnPorsche Big Bang, and was so fortunate to be paired with @kiiyuq yu, whose art for the piece is frankly the sort of thing that topples cities.

Gekko as your Boyfriend |H.C.|

Pairing: Mateo “Gekko” De La Fuente/ GN! Reader

In which we take a dive into what Gekko would be like as your Boyfriend!

CW: Fluff, The Critters (❤️), Reader is assumed to be a part of VP

note: I LOVE GEKKO SO MUCH AND DIZZY AND WINGMAN AND MOSH AND THRASH HAVE MY HEART AND OMG IM GONNA DEDICATE MY WHOLE ACCOUNT TO THEM NOW

Ok starting off, you cannot tell me his creatures wouldn’t love you. If Gekko likes you, they like you.

(snuggles with dizzy, playing games with wingman, etc)

His love language is quality time, with physical touch as a close second.

He just wants to be around you 24/7, with you in his arms and just loving each other.

He doesn’t care what dates are like. As long as he gets to be with you and see you smile, hes the happiest man in the world.

Would def let you dye his hair, or ask you to help if he needs to dye it. He thinks it looks better when you do it (and he totally doesn’t just want to spend time with you)

Matching tattoos?

yes. matching tattoos.

Imagine he had a little heart of your favorite color on his wrist, and you had a matching one of his favorite color on yours (i’m melting)

Boba dates are a must

If you have never had boba, he is just so excited to introduce you to the world of flavors you can explore

If you do like boba, expect to have it a lot, he likes to come home and surprise you with it a lot.

Since your on the Protocol with him, you both like to train together

One time, Brimstone caught you both kissing in the commons area, he almost had a stroke.

(He had to go find Sage to tell you to both knock it off because he thought it would be awkward if he did it)

((it would be))

You’re both best friends with Neon, but you do get jealous of her sometimes.

Gekko and Neon just had this chemistry that can be mistaken for romantic, but they both assure you it’s totally platonic.

If you ever got hurt out on a mission, he would be right there to take care of you in any way he could, and vice versa.

He absolutely hated seeing you get hurt, so much so that he would jump in front of you to protect you

It was cute

Sometimes.

Once he threw himself in front of the line of fire and took a bullet to the shoulder, yet refused to get out of the way.

It was sweet, but you hated seeing him hurt as much as he hated seeing you hurt.

Sage was not happy that he was being so reckless.

In which Mateo would tell her it was his knight in shining armor moment.

I feel like he would brag about you a lot.

Like “I have the best parter in the world, they’re so caring and… ugh I miss them so much, Im going to call them.”

He wouldn’t talk to Reyna about you at first though, he was scared of her

When he did start to open up about your relationship to her, she started to like you more.

You always thought Reyna was constantly judging you, but when she came around, she protected you and Mateo like you were her younger siblings.

She secretly holds so much love for you both in that small heart of hers.

Did i mention skating dates?

They’re a must.

If you don’t know how to skate, Mateo wants to teach you so bad he literally drags you out to do it.

(It’s totally not an excuse to hold your waist as he keeps you balanced)

If you do know how to skate, y’all are constantly competing. Races, Tricks, anything you can think of, you’ll challenge each other.

You really do bring out the best in each other

Except for that one time that Mateo broke his board because he was angry you beat him…

He’s been super gentle with his gear since that day.

You also learned to let him win most of the time

welcome to my gekko arc.

I will write for other valorant agents, juuuust mostly gekko :>

My inbox is open! ask away people!!

Fic Ask Game: Favorite Fic Lines

Hello people. So, I got some sudden inspiration for this little game, which goes hand in hand with the KinnPorsche Fanfic Comment Event a little bit, in my opinion: Share the lines of fics that have brought a big emotional reaction out of you. It can be anything, from sadness to happiness to horniness to anything in between. Lines that have stayed with you, no matter how long ago you read the fic. I believe our writers deserve a little praise in these trying times, don't you think? So, for me, some of them are the following: 1) "The rib hurts so much more now that someone else knows about it." - drank every scar, by @ginnymoonbeam - Tbh, I'd have to put the whole fic in here, but this is the line I tend to think of whenever the fic comes to mind. Rereading it now to find the line made my eyes water, it's so fucking visceral and perfect and I love it so much. Once again, thank you so, SO much for writing it and sharing it with the world ❤️ 2) "Vegas’ violence is unpredictable, painfully personal, and utterly, tragically ineffectual.

Pete forgives him all of it." - Civil Hands, by @ameliarating - I can't count the times I went feral over both Civil Hands and Deep Dive. As a fan of Pete, both of those fics mean the world to me, and this specific line has been on my mind since the moment I read it. I love how it showcases Vegas' effect on Pete's worldview, how Vegas made him break his own rules, and how he came to accept it, because it's him. Incredible writing, I love it so fucking much❤️ 3) "He’d rather be marked as disposable, he’d realized, than erased as invisible.

There was something bitter about realizing that he’d been both." - Once You Are Real, by @veliseraptor - Lise chose this for the summary and it's such a perfect choice. I think it's the reason I chose to read the fic in the first place. I am very emotional when it comes to the concept of Pete finding out he was forgotten, and this fic does an amazing job with it. I keep returning to it a lot, I love it to death. Painful in it's brilliance, I can't recommend it enough. 4) "“I don’t know,” Pete said unsteadily. “I don’t know. How could I know what that feels like? I’m not that kind of person.” He pulled against Vegas’s grip, and got nowhere. “You make my teeth ache. You make the world bright, like it’s real. It hurts. It’s hurt since I met you, but that means I can never forget I’m alive." - even the clearest water, by @luckydicekirby What a fic. The concept, the lines, the execution, it all deserves praise until the end of time. Pete's answer to Vegas' "Do you love me?" will always remain in my head as one of the best things VP-related I've ever read and ever will read in my life. I loved this so fucking much, I will never get over it ❤️ 5) "“And now you have nothing,” Kinn says. “As I said, a dumb move.”

“Wrong again,” Vegas says. “I now have something you don’t.”

“Oh?” Kinn doesn’t hide the way he rolls his eyes. “Massive hospital bills? Bed sores?”

“Happiness.”" - Your Power Over Me, by @wisteria-daydreamer - A very special shout out to my lovely friend who's written one of my favorite Kinn&Vegas fics I've ever had the pleasure to read. When this line came, I literally gasped out loud, it left me speechless. The way Kinn's POV is written was marvelous and the whole conversation he had with Vegas was incredible. Check it out if you crave some good Kinn&Vegas fics, it's very, very good. Disclaimer: I have so many fics and authors I love and I've made that clear to both them and my followers in the past. My brain could only handle doing 5 for this, but I absolutely have more than 5 that I'm obsessed with. Maybe one day I'll do a Part 2, I'll see how it goes in the future. No pressure tagging all the following lovely people, besides the writers that have already been tagged: @wretchedamaranth, @xpi-x-elx, @fleet-off, @lu-sn, @suzteel, @tsttoain, @thisautistic, @theoldastronomer, @vegaseatsass, @adanima, @kissporsche, @raksh-writes, @nyxelestia, @yourknightofrage, @mightymightygnomepriest, @justanothervariant, @justfionn and anyone else who wants to share the love for their fave fics and authors. You can do 5 or 10 or 100, there's no limit at all ❤️❤️

⚠️ READ: Please do not repost/reupload any of my or my friend's art here or to any other platform, or I will be forced to do anything to get it annihilated.

pic done by @nervouswizardcycle. Ryder belongs to me.🖤 Beloved Arki belongs to her. ❤️

Scorpios.

Born Corpos.

This mixture.

Could be your worst nightmare.

Since I still can't find time for my planned vp stuff I'm more than happy that @nervouswizardcycle took their time to take a pic with her boy Arki and my boy Ry for now. <3

Seriously, I can't wait for more of those two! Their friendship started out complicated. Ry doesn't like Arki because he can feel something is off with that dude. Arki would like to get to now Ryder but Ry choses not to open up to him for almost half a year. It takes time, he accepts him as a team member and as Vijay's boyfriend. But once they talk, they both realizse they share the same pain but on different levels.

I asked if I can post the pic, ofc I got permission. Idk if my friend will ever come back being active here on tblr or not but I'll take good care of Arki, too and post him whenever possible. In a way he's my boy as well and I'd love he's more present since without him my boys wouldn't be were they are now. His story let me to all the ideas about my boys, let me even create Jaysen because of the story. And Arki grew so much on me during the last year of developing story, talking about funny situations and writing rp he deserves more love.

I'd even go this far and dare to say he's that canon V I would have wanted for the game if we didn't have to chose making own characters. yupp.

[harellan]

hey em! do you have a list of mods you're using for cyberpunk 2077? loving your shots!

Thank you so much!! This really means a lot to me ❤️

I wanna preface this by saying I haven't updated to 2.2 yet so I don't know if any of the mods I list are out of date or broken with the update. I think everything should be good to go, but make sure to check.

VP Must Haves:

Cyber Engine Tweaks - if you aren't already using this, it's going to be a requirement for a lot of other mods on the list

Appearance Menu Mod - used for a lot of things including spawning & swapping NPCs, posing characters, adding props (including some lighting), changing time of day, teleporting to locations and a lot more.

CharLi - for custom lighting. This does most of the heavy lifting for me. There's some lighting options in AMM, but I mostly just use CharLi to light shots

Photomode Unlocker - allows you to use custom pose packs

Nibbles Replacer & Nibbles Unlocked - adds Nibbles to photomode and allows you to replace them with NPCs

Otis Camera Tools - gives full control of the camera, allows you to pause in game, HUD toggle, hotsampling, and includes CyberLit custom lighting. Note, this isn't free and I believe it needs to be updated every time the game updates. I rarely use this and when I do it's usually just for hotsampling if I feel like it. I believe the newest game updates added a lot of the features that this offers anyway, but it is a nice tool if you're interested

Photomode Expressions Pack - adds a bunch of facial expressions (static & animated) to photomode

Facial Expression Swaps for AMM - swaps the facial expressions in AMM if you prefer AMM

Photo Mode Tools - Allows binding a hotkey to CET to freeze/unfreeze the look-at-camera animation in photo mode

As far as poses go, I have way too many downloaded to put them here but if you go on the Cyberpunk Nexus and search for poses you'll find a lot of incredible packs

For lighting, I mostly just use CharLi. I have a few presets saved but for a simple set up I use 2 spotlights (low intensity) and then 1 or 2 favelas lights in a color that's complimentary to the background of the shot. I know a lot of people use AMM lighting, but I have never really explored the lighting options there that much.

Here's a great lighting tutorial and FOV tutorial by @fereldanwench

If you're Interested in the mods I use for Viggo specifically:

Atlas Body

Body Hair

Face Tattoo

Body Tattoo

Hair

Complexion

Modular Piercings

Cyberware

Cyberarm

Eyebrows (Edit of eyebrow #2)

Darker Eyebrows

And and irresponsible amount of clothes

Just swinging by to say:

Happy Friday! 🥰

This week has been a long one and seeing you all on my dash has brought me the best joy in between crazy schedules 🥰

To those waiting for SDLN: I’m sorry for the delay, (your girl got made VP this week!! it’s been crazy!! ❤️) but @the-scandalorian and I have a date tonight (she’s amazing and I love her and I’m so excited ❤️) and hopefully I can wrap it up for delivery tomorrow 🥰

Thank you so much for being patient and kind and sending me the best thoughts for them to keep the brain juices flowing in between meetings — keep ‘em coming! ❤️

ily all ❤️❤️🥰🥰

[lu-sn]

thank you @veliseraptor for tagging me ❤️ i had a lot of fun with this one

Rules: Go to your published works on AO3 and list the first fic you ever published there, the last fic you published, any fic that you wrote for a fandom/ship only once, your favorite fic you wrote in the fandom/ship that has the most works, the fic you wish more people read, the fic you agonized over the most, the fic that sprang fully formed from your mind without any effort, and a work you are proud of—for whatever reason.

--

first fic ever published: prickly hearts

my beloved!!! this story is extra funny to me because before this i was all "it would be hubris to try to write vp they're too NUANCED i'll mess them up" and then the ghost of khun spikes whacked me on the head with a crackfic idea and the rest is history

last fic published: warm-blooded

cue me from almost exactly a year ago telling my roommate i could "never write porn" skjdfksadfkjhdsfjkhf where's my clown nose

any fic i wrote for a ship only once: press F to pay respects

my one and only kinn/porsche fic. but the real crime here is that it's my one and only macau & chay fic 😭 I'LL GET TO IT ONE DAY

favorite fic for ship with most works: you can't make me choose

i love so many of them! and i'm fond of them for different reasons, so it's really hard to pick one over the rest. breathtaking might be some of my best writing. vivace has characterization i'm very happy with, and i'm proud that i managed to do that while keeping it lighthearted. but if we're talking favorite fic for me to read... god this is hard!!!!! i love reading my funnier stuff. so maybe it really still is prickly hearts

fic i wish more people read: have u heard of the f/f vp agenda–

here is my running theory: if more people read f/f vp then more people will write it and then there will be more of it for ME to read. this is a flawless plan. i will take no criticism

fic i agonized over the most: [redacted]

i could pick a published fic for this but i don't tend to agonize too much over oneshots when i'm writing them and anyway you could add up all of the agony over all of my published fics and it would not even be 1/100th of the agonizing i am doing over my current wip. longfics SUCK. "it'll just be 3 chapters that's not so bad" "ah shit this wasn't in the outline" "why does the halfway mark keep getting FURTHER away" 0/10 would not recommend i am blinking twice please airlift me out of here

fic that sprang fully formed from my mind: blindside

this is kind of a stretch in that i had had a couple of stray macau thoughts hanging around my head for months. things like "macau goes off at korn and it's heartwrenching and futile and pete has to drag him away" or "pete and macau have a days-long staring match over vegas's comatose body" but let's be real it was mostly a giant metaphorical whiteboard in my brain with the words "PETE AND MACAU????!!!" written on it and underlined six times. it didn't coalesce into "pete holds a gun to macau's head and it somehow ruins all of korn's plans" until i was standing in the middle of a crosswalk on my way home going oh my GOD THAT WOULD BE INSANE PETE WOULD BE THAT INSANE!!!! then i blacked out and it was written

work i am proud of: reignite

i reread this recently and it reads like it was written by someone who was not me. i would not in a million years have imagined i was capable of writing like that. so i love it very much, and i feel like i did namphueng justice, and she fucking deserves it.

hmmm tagging @ghost--houses and @fanonplussed and @magicaldreamfox1 if you're feeling it!

Hiro:

Kintsugi (OT3): Hiro, Victory Delvin and Johnny Silverhand

Chasing Cars-Snow Patrol

If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Lots of longing and feelings that nobody realizes are reciprocated, and personal growth and figuring out how to heal and moving forward together.

Trouble Comes in Threes (OT3): Hiro, Ivarr, and Dagger

Beautiful is Boring-Bones UK

Do we make you sick? Do our imperfections make your blue breath run thick? Give me scars and stripes It does not please me to be easy on any of your eyes Any of your eyes

Grimy, sexy and a little harsh, unconventional, just like them. They're not trying to make the others into something they're not--just accepting as they are.

Tiger Lilies: Hiro and Ivarr:

Under your Skin-Aesthetic Perfection

Without thinking Take What I want My claws creeping down Where it's warm If I'm dreaming Is this wrong? I just can't wait to get under your skin

Where you're just a little addicted to the other person, finding your hands mutually reaching to message them, even as you're trying not to think about the other, under your skin and not going anywhere

Just Chooms: Hiro and Kit Salcedo:

Cheap Thrills-Sia

'Til I hit the dance floor, hit the dance floor I got all I need No, I ain't got cash, I ain't got cash But I got you, baby

Honorable mentions are Bamo and Muévelo--easy to dance to, and a good beat, something they might have listened to in the Coyote together, friendship blooming into something more, until it feels as natural as breathing

Ares:

Clockwork Heart: Ares/Ofelia

Devil's Backbone-The Civil Wars

Don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not He's good and he's bad and he's all that I've got Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please Don't take that sinner from me Oh don't take that sinner from me

Those two have the sort of love, where they don't care if the other has done bad things, nothing matters as long as they can be together, and nothing will get in their way, loving in spite of flaws

Avi:

The Devil You Know: Avi/Mr. Blue Eyes

Main Theme--LA Noire Soundtrack

(No vocals this time)

There's a vibe that fits, looking over the city at night, the cherry of a cigarette glowing, whiskey on the table, and reaching over to brush a hand across their cheek--something private and intimate

Tag appreciation 1/?

Feeling a bit sentimental today so I had this idea... You know how I love tags? Yes, I love them, using them, receiving them I love how much you can convey in tags and I wanna say that I always always appreciate when you reblog my posts (even without tags) and it never goes unnoticed. So this is the first post - bc I wanna make this a regular thing - where I wanna shine the spotlight back on you, your love, your humor and your sass that happens in my notes. And also comment on some! Let's go!

@kittenchrissy loving on Vinnie makes my heart melt every time

@neverfadesaway you know, even a joyful exclamation like this feels niiiice

@gloryride Vinnies shirt choice is controversial either way, you'll see in further tags 😅

@itzsassha aaaahhhh, that was such a nice sentimental tag, I almost cried when I read that

@cyberpunkaddict I always feel so accomplished when you compliment my posts - and yes, that shot feels very special and real to me, too ❤️

@drunkchasind (her VP @caer-oswin) I don't know, but something about my OCs being called baby is so heartwarming

@theviridianbunny Bunny is usually more screamy than that in her tags which I looooove but seeing her call Macha "my beloved" ugh, amazing

@chevvy-yates /@fly-amanitaa love a compliment on the pic itself of course, this was another AMM swap btw lol - and the cigarette that the npc had glitched away just leaving the smoke, super cool happy accident

@bnbc the specifity in tags like this helps me see what's good about my work

Thank you for your tags and revlogs, keep being awesome!

And that's it for today, bc of the 10 pic limit. But I have so much more of these so I will keep them coming.

[arcandoria]

💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕

eee rhys tysm!! ❤️

gonna share some art this time around! more specifically Pathfinder art! PF showed up in my life when I was at a complete art slump and I'll forever be grateful for the artistic boost it gave me.

let's start with Rellihn ofc! this was my first art/portrait of Relly and I still love it so much. It totally set the tone of their aesthetic and vibes

this piece of Woljif boy got a special place for me because it had been a long time since I properly sat down and painted art for myself instead of just a quick scribble, and I feel like it really translates how I view him body-language wise

and last but not least - the Woljif x Relly x Tiger pic! I have a tendency to always give my favorite blorbos a comfy napping with kitty ship art (Panam and Dante are super overdue that, but I have thousands of VP of it haha), and it's just generally a lil' piece that brings me a ton of comfort <3

honorable mention: Andrali's path progression!

Hi, hello! This is just a message to let you know how much I love your Haven’t you heard? VP series. If you ever update again I’ll be over the moon, but even with no update I will cherish it forever. Hope you’re well and happy December!

Aw! Thank you! You are so very sweet ❤️. And not to worry, I will get back to writing the thing is I've just been really busy finishing my last semester at university (so I've been stressed and overwhelmed), so I haven't had a chance to sit down and write. I just need some time to de-stress and relax before going back to writing. Anyway happy December to you as well! ❄️ And thank you for the sweet comment!❤️❤️

[chilljustacat]

3. Do you have kids? Nope

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Probably yes. Too much even

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people? Idk. I guess it's whether their behavior is sincere or they're trying to pretend to be someone they're not

6. What’s your eye colour? Green

7. Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings i guess

8. Any special talents? Certainly not noticing them. Idk, I'm a quick learner and I'm pretty good at organizing and planning (worse at executing lol)

11. Have you any pets? Nope :( But when I can I will have cats. Lots of cats

14. Favourite subject in school? History and math

15. Dream job? Actually my current one :) Architecture has been my dream for as long as I can remember and after 10 years I still love it, even though it's completely different from what I imagined, hard and not very well paid. But I can't imagine doing anything else
