The Hound
So @the-kingshound updated and I dove headfirst into feelings and needed to get some feelings out...So I wrote a thing. As you do. A bit terrified to post outside of anon, but...2.5k words is too much for an ask and the discord...so...here we are.
Some moderate CW though, it contains depression, sexism (I know most people aren't going to want to delve into this sort of stuff because it's escapism, but I find it cathartic and validating when it's at least acknowledged how shitty it is to have a uterus at any point in time), and my Hound is not the nicest person around. (Arthur please don't give up on her, she'll get there)
OH and a part is inspired by a really old poll Kal asked about what color we'd like our dog-hounds to be and I know everyone went with the Christian Black Hound of Hell cause it IS iconic and spooky, but I was going...but a white hound would mean something to the Welsh. It makes a statement. SO I added it in the end to soften the angst.
Enjoy below the cut because I have no chill.
Guinevere stared across her small table at the King. Her husband, she supposed, though in the eyes of the court the title was not official. He seemed unable to meet her bright red eyes—not uncommon in her experience. Even in her own House people struggled to hold her gaze. More than once had she overheard whispers of the unsettling otherworldly heir, the one that must’ve been taken by some spirit or another.
Here was no different, only the terms changed. Annwn, Arawn, Mallt-y-Nos all were whispered as she walked past instead of Da Derga. ‘Bad omen that one’ was still the same though. ‘It’ll be the death of the Pendragons, letting one such as her share a bed with the King,’ in some form or another.
She waited patiently, stoically for the King to sort through whatever went on in his head. She refused to let her gaze leave him. To show any sign of weakness lest he go for her throat so to speak. She watched him as any prisoner might when face to face with their judge and executioner.
Arthur, as a person, was not…terrible. Though the most she saw of him was at their wedding, to be fair. Her hackles bristled at even the memory of the word. Wedding. It was nothing more than a celebration of her family’s downfall. The handfasting, nothing more than a shackle, a collar to show the might of Camelot.
But it was not yet a total victory.
After all, there were still more humiliations the king could bring against House Venegard. One, in particular, she dreaded more than others. She understood her duty, of course, and she would bear the torment like the cliffs do the raging sea…
That did not mean her stomach did not cramp. That bile did not coat her tongue. Her fists clenched in her lap, waiting those dreadful words, the terrible command. Her throat tightened against the rising emotions. Her skin prickled.
‘It won’t come to that,’ Saraah had told her. Radel and Ghaven had tried to comfort her as well. In their own way. Ghaven told her to use their wedding present on Arthur if he tried. It…it did make her laugh despite the crushing despair. Saraah had tried to tell her she’d be safe, that they doubted Arthur would force her to do anything.
She loved her siblings, but…she also knew they didn’t understand, not truly. They were, in the judging eyes of the law, men. They had the rights to their wives—not including Saarah of course.
They did not get the lectures from their mother about how to cut one’s own throat or womanhood should they ever be captured. They did not hear old wives tell horror stories of their first nights. They were not told tricks to get through it, how to fix themselves afterwards because their husband would just leave them once he was through—or fall asleep. They did not hope to die with the birth of their firstborn so they did not have to suffer anymore violations.
After all, what could be more symbolic of the King’s victory than breaking her in their marriage bed as his father did his mother so long ago?
Guinevere bit her tongue to keep her numbness in place. Pain forced her back into the hardened warrior her House had demanded she become. She remembered her mother telling her to never let any man see her scared, see her cry, and she refused to disappoint her.
Arthur cleared his throat. He straightened in his seat. He tried his best to look calm, but there was…some kind of nervous energy. He picked at his fingers out of reflex. His mouth opened and closed a few times. “I wished to ask you something,” he started carefully.
Her stomach twisted sharply. The slight dizziness that plagued her since her betrothal sent sparks over her eyes. She could already understand where this was no doubt going. The court had been rather loud as of late, crying that the marriage was not true. She was only surprised they didn’t demand the King show them the bedsheets afterwards.
She signed without feeling, as always, “Come to take your dues, then?”
Arthur blinked, reminding her of a puppy. “Beg pardon?”
She shrugged, each motion empty of any semblance of emotion. “I’m surprised they’ve let you wait this long. They seem quite eager for you to show me my place.” Her eyes drifted around the room. She noted the places she stashed weapons…assuming Gwyar hadn’t moved them again. They seemed exasperated every time they found a new hiding place…but they also didn’t take the weapons either.
“That’s not what I…” Arthur shook their head, as though trying to shake the thoughts into line. “I’m not—”
“So, a mistress then, that’s to be my humiliation,” Guinevere nodded to herself. “Probably for the best.” Her fingers gently traced the horrific scar across her neck, hidden by her bodice. “Wouldn’t wish to sully the Pendragon line with a wraith.” It was a stark reminder he did not wed a delicate flower, she fought and bled against him. One of his people nearly took her head off.
And the sick part was…she wished they had.
She shook her head against the darkness creeping up her spine. She figured out long ago she would never be a beautiful maiden; she would not be swept off her feet, or whatever Saarah’s fantasies were. She didn’t know why it still stung at this point.
She slowly rose from her seat. The fabric of her dress pulled and tugged uncomfortably against her movements. The neckline rubbed and scratched at the scar. Almost like feeling the rough, chipped edge of the sword again.
Her fingers were cold against her neck. She put them between her skin and the stupid Camelotian garment. Gwyar had convinced her it might be wise to attempt to acclimate to…here. Apparently, some of the court were scandalized by her tattoos. They apparently made her petite-self intimidating, like a barbarian. Or some other drivel.
Maybe they just didn’t want to admit her eyes scared them. Or maybe they were just trying to test to see if the King’s new dog would bite.
She plucked the letters from the table. The seal she was beginning to recognize as Saraah’s glared up at her in accusation. She assumed the others were from various other siblings he had corralled into sending to her. Probably sometime after the fifth letter she didn’t reply to.
She blew out a breath before placing them with the growing pile on her desk. Weight pulled at her bones. The old habit of talking to Saraah begged for her to try. Her chest hurt at the pain she must be causing them.
She drifted away before she could crumble. She had already broken in front of them; she would not do it again. She was the seventh heir of House Venegard. It was time she acted like it. Her feet took her to the window as they often did. Not to stare out over her new domain, but to the sky where birds played with the clouds.
A chair scraped over the floor. Perhaps the King grew tired of her. Or, more likely, he had other arrangements. Spending time with prisoners was hardly worth his time, but still nice of him to stop by, she supposed.
“I wanted to ask how you are,” Arthur’s voice disrupted her quiet contemplation of a flock of birds. She looked to the side as if she could see him behind her. Her back tensed. “We haven’t been able to speak since…” He didn’t say the words as she wrapped her arms around herself. “Your brother asked after you, well his husband asked, but on his behalf, I’m sure.”
Slowly, she turned, smoothing her face against anything that might show the crushing weight on her heart. “I am fine.”
Arthur narrowed his eyes at the simple answer. He kept quiet as he observed her carefully, as if he could pull answers from her like a sword from a stone. “If there is something I can do to make you more comfortable…”
“You cannot.” Her hands moved like swords, cutting off the line of questioning. “As I told Morien and Gwyar, I will remain living.”
Any more than that, she could not guarantee. She would pretend she was collared and leashed, sit when told, rollover as necessary, endure whatever she had to keep House Venegard alive. She would hide what and who she was, bury it so deep down it would crush her very soul into nothingness.
The two of them engaged in a strange staring contest. Her rubies as lifeless as the gems themselves against his captured-skies bright and beckoning freedom. He tapped a finger against the table. She could see him thinking and sorting through the thoughts, or perhaps he was trying to sift through the dense mist of her façade.
“Would you accompany me this afternoon?” he asked suddenly. “I was going to take Mordred, and I know we would both delight in your company as well.”
*****
Why she went was a mystery even to her. Perhaps it was strategic? To be seen with her husband and…stepchild? Show they did have some sort of relationship to keep the nobles at least somewhat complacent.
Maybe she just had a weakness for the child. Or was curious about the destination. Maybe after weeks drifting alone inside her rooms, only venturing out in the mornings to the dead training grounds or for mandatory appearances, she was going mad.
Arthur was pleased with themselves. They had a soft smile and a spring in their step as they escorted the group to a building. A kennel if the baying of hounds told her anything. Mordred’s hand tugged on their sleeve, eyes wide in either excitement or question. Arthur smiled wider. “Yes, they sent word this morning.”
And with those cryptic words, he pushed open the door and gestured for Mordred to go through. The child hesitated, but whatever was beyond the door drew them forward just the same. Arthur turned his smile to her, holding the door for her.
Guinevere eyed him oddly as she passed—well as best she could without pulling her neck muscles. She ignored the softest brush of warmth coming off him, reminding her how cold she always felt. She looked around the humble abode instead.
It did not take long for her eyes to find Mordred…being swarmed by wriggly, wobbly puppies. The mother hound watched over her litter like a queen, but didn’t appear to mind them entering her space. Her tail wagged as Arthur stepped inside behind Guinevere.
She blinked at the one, two, three…six puppies all bounding around on their tiny legs. Two were gnawing on each other’s legs, while a third played with one’s ear. One was pulling at Mordred’s tunic. Another was getting scooped by the child.
A bit of ice inside her chest cracked. It sizzled and popped at the scene. She turned to look up at Arthur. “Puppies?” she signed in confusion. “You brought me to see puppies?”
Arthur smiled. “Yes? They are cute and these ones the houndmaster said were old enough for a visit now.” He shrugged, though the way his eyes moved over the scene made her think he was up to something.
Of course, she always thought he was up to something, she supposed. Still…unless he was going to order the bitch to tear out her throat for good this time…what harm could puppies do?
“I was once told the Irish have great reverence for their hounds,” he eyed her, “even going so far as to give their great warriors and kings the epithet ‘hound’.”
She blinked at him, the nod almost involuntary. Why did he care to know that? Why bring it up? Her chest felt…twitchy under all the ice and darkness. She gave him a probing stare, trying to find answers. “Cú,” she spelled carefully, “it shows they are worthy of the loyalty hounds give.”
“I find it rather…beautiful to think a king is only worthy of his title if he is worthy of his hound first.” He smiled again, before motioning towards the puppies.
Ignoring the strange…prickle in her chest that his cryptic words seemed to conjure, she approached carefully, keeping an eye on the mother before gathering her dress to sit on the ground. The unoccupied puppy plodded its way towards her. It gave a little whine, perhaps a practice growl, before sniffing her. It was black like its mother with wavy fur.
Still, her chest clenched tightly. She made little tongue clicks at the puppies. Her hands petted the brave one that came up to her first. It wobbled and fell to the side. Her mouth parted in a soft laugh, more audible puffs of air than anything. Tiny teeth gnawed at her fingers as she tickled the soft belly.
When the puppy had its fill of her play, it tottered off to a group that gathered near Arthur. For a moment, their eyes met. Bloody red and heavenly blue. A strange pang struck Guinevere’s chest like a shard of ice had stabbed her heart as it broke away. She pulled her eyes down to his hands.
And found a tiny white ball of fur held safely against his chest.
She blinked. A glance at the rest of the litter found only blacks and a few red or fawn ones. The mother’s ears perked as the tiny bundle squeaked. She panted before sniffing the air as if trying to decide if the squeak was distress.
Arthur followed Guinevere’s eyes and gave the tiny bundle a soft smile. He shuffled over to her side, careful to keep a distance between them. He rubbed at the little puppy’s head. “This little one the houndmaster was worried wouldn’t make it,” he spoke softly, glancing up at her. “She’s the runt—and well,” he gestured to her fur.
Guinevere knew well what he meant. Pure white animals were often abandoned by their mothers, easily spotted by predators, or were otherwise ill. Runts were much the same. Her brows pinched together. She gently stroked the soft fur of the puppy’s ear. Her own white hair fell over her shoulder as she leaned forward.
“But it appears she’s much stronger than we thought—or just stubborn,” Arthur chuckled. “Some might say she’s a bad omen, that she’s already marked for Arawn’s pack and it is best to send her on her way…” He smiled wryly at her, like he knew the insults thrown her way. “Between you and me, I think they are just scared because they have wicked souls and fear she’ll sniff them out.”
He held the puppy out to her as another attempted to climb into his lap. The little thing was warm, soft like all babies were, but oh so still. She didn’t squirm or wriggle, just gave a dissatisfied squeak as Guinevere held her to her chest. The puppy’s tiny breaths pressed against her fingers.
Her heart twisted again. The bubbling need for this thing to survive choked her breath. She rubbed her thumb against its ear again, making clicking noises again. Fight, she told the hound mentally. She tried to impart some of her own will into the small hound. Fight and remind them hounds choose their master. And give them pity if they think they have any power over you.

I know they’re not really apart of the show but could you do Scrooge’s sisters Hortense and Matilda? I love them too much
You’re in luck anon, these two were next on my list! Castle McDuff grants immortality to those who reside in its walls, keeping them at a set age. However, these two don’t live there full time. Tilly stays alive because she constantly alternates between living there and not, and Hortense has her own methods of avoiding aging. As a result, all three McDuff siblings have quite varying physical ages, Scrooge appears to be a surpassingly spry eighty something year old, Matilda looks to be in her early sixties, and Hortense in her late forties to mid fifties.
Meet the Cast!

Day 192: His First Soulmark
@ninja-knox-ur-sox-off
So, I won't be formatting every comic like this. Every one afterwards will just have important sentences over the drawn scenes.
#lego ninjago#frogs 365 day challenge#ninjago headcanon#ninjago kai#okay i took some creative liberty#like leaving most of it in the form of a sheet of notebook paper#and only using color to really highlight things#BUT ALSO I HAVE LOGIC FOR THAT LAST LONG PANEL#Kai is obviously “his”#I had Cole as “first” because I always read this as Cole was the first Kai showed romantic interest in over the 4#Jay is “soul” because to me he was the one Kai found hardest to believe#amd Zane is “mark” because if i remember things correctly he was the first to put everything together fully#also headcanon that Zane was still under construction until roughly a month before his first addition to all the marks#(yes Doctor Julian did have to repeatedly scrub paint marker and other things off of him in the production process)#anyways have this#especially cause idk when the next one will be

So. I've always wanted to get better at drawing someone's likeness with just lines so I decided to do a couple of sketches of Ga On as practice. And then decided to up the difficulty and practise on expressions while still capturing his likeness. Because why make things easy for myself? References were used for all of them (even the bratty, pouty one).
And yes, we definitely needed Actual Baby Deer Kim Ga On. Because of reasons.
... I'm a VERY serious artist, I promise.
(Not going to lie, I kinda wanna draw Yo Han with wolf ears now...)
#Kim Ga On#The Devil Judge#Art#Fan Art#KDrama#I'll soon be able to draw him in my sleep#Which is a good life skill to have I guess?#But I'm stopping here#I promised myself I'd only do ten#And I think I learned to capture him pretty well in that time#ALSO#Not going to lie#I'm kind of tempted to colour the one with the deer ears#Because he's just so damn cute x'D#I was snickering the entire time I was drawing it#That is obviously the one where I freestyled the most#And took some liberties#His eyes are a little bigger than they should be for example#And his neck just a tiny bit longer#But it made him look more like a deer so yeah

Wow, look at this neat abandoned building. Robot? Idk what ur talking about.
Outside Upgrades Lore beyond the Cut! (A lot of writing, feel free to skip.)
Hi guys!!! This is a doodle for my new and improved Outside Upgrades! Ruin edition!
The characters (ocs) pictured are N (left) and Light (right)!
N is an urban explorer by trade, making and posting videos of her explorations online. (She has no self-preservation skills, which is why she's so popular.) Meanwhile, Light was a FazCo. employee back in the day, and currently they're unemployed.
The whole point of this AU when I first made it was that Light was there the night the Plex collapsed (and would've escaped with the help of Moon). They lost their leg in that injury, and FazCo basically paid Light off to not spill the secrets of the company, and they got to keep Sun/Moon. Eventually they'd discover Eclipse mode, which was their caretaking protocol.
This update? Light was close to the entrance when it collapsed and was eventually found by a rescue crew (they were searching for Vanessa) with their leg pinned under sone rubble. They've been in recovery for a few years by the time they return with N to the Plex. The pair arrive shortly before Cassie, but they shimmy under that gate where it looks like Monty shoved through and go a different direction before she can keep up.
Eventually, they find their way to Gator Grub where Maskbot is and N snags a mask, but a lot of obstacles they can brute force through better than Cassie could. And by the time they get to the daycare, Cassie's already been through. Eclipse is there.
Seeing Light kinda, snaps him out of that "clean up" mode, and after some sappy moments, Eclipse decides to join the two explorers in their adventure and eventual return to the real world.
I like to think that they *do* catch up with Cassie, whether that be after the elevator crashes or before she goes to the basement to confront the mimic, they find her by complete chance. And of course, this is a whole child? Who put her down here??
Eclipse feels terrible that he sent her on her way earlier, Light is dumbfounded as to how she got so deep, and N (who's piecing together what Helpi has been talking about this whole time) is ready to confidently just undo the hinges on the door Cassie needs through so that Roxy doesn't get deactivated. And it *works*.
They all face the mimic, and whether they scoop it, or Eclipse and Roxy are enough to overpower it, or they just get to the elevator safely, it doesn't matter. They get out.
And then soft AU that it originally was ensues, with Eclipse getting repairs done and sticking with Light as a Healthcare assistant robot.
(N also slowly but surely recovers the other animatronics, with Light's help, and gets them repaired and puts about 30 firewalls on their programming. Roxy's the first, with Freddy being the last to be recovered fully.)
And of course, Cassie is implied to at least have a dad, so I imagine she'd find her father, and since he was *also* implied to be a Faz-Technician, he'd fix up Roxy best he could, and when Cassie introduced N finally (Light was busy) her dad offered to repair anything else she brought him, so she brought the band.
I'm not sure how much I'll write/draw for this, but originally I abandoned the idea because it had a y/n. I wasn't sure how I'd write about chronic pain or the loss of a limb or ptsd for a wide enough audience, and it eventually drove me to not write it at all. (Why you see me post AEB the mermay au more than the original-)
I'm glad that I made the choice to drag this one into oc land. Outside Upgrades was always self-indulgent (I made Eclipse a soft-boy and actually put together and decidedly not a whore, and it was pure luck that Canon Eclipse matches up so well) and it will remain self-indulgent.
Of course, if anyone wants to use the design or drop their own character in rather than Light, not like I'll complain! Tho I'd like ppl to @ me if they do use this concept or design cuz I'd just love to see it! :D
Bonus: EYE STRAIN WARNING
The original ver is this obnoxious Bright Red. I was staring at this for like 3-4 hours straight tonight smh.
#light's spot#my art#oc#sketch#fnaf daycare attendant#fnaf sb#fnaf ruin#fnaf ruin spoilers#fnaf ruin dlc#fnaf au#fnaf Eclipse#Light#N#Outside Upgrades#ruin eclipse#fun fact: his arm glowy lights are interpreted as Lava Lamps here :)#and obviously I took sone liberties w/ his arms and faceplate#but I just really like the shapes ♡#also Light and N are both really bad at urban exploring Safety cuz like#realistically they use their supplies maybe once ir twice max.#N's gonna be covered in scratches by the time they get out and Light's gonna inhale sum mold or smth

I think Erina would be so good for the fake baby au though. And a lot different from RWYLM. Lucien was obviously born to be a dad so he fell into that role easily, but I think it’s safe to say Eris was never day dreaming of having a family, so exploring him finding out about that would be so interesting! I feel like Cassian and Rhys are more family guys too, similar to Lucien.
Anything you do would be amazing! But that’s my vote! Also you could change it from body guard to something else if you don’t think that fits him. Maybe you could combo it with the rivals to lovers… idk I’ll let the master do her work
The door swung open and there she was. Arina froze in the doorway, still holding that little girl. Eris knew how it must look to her given he was sitting in a metal chair, hands folded over a scratched up table.
Her eyes widened which only made him smile. Three fucking years of nothing and there she was. Just as beautiful as she’d ever been—maybe more so, even with the harsh, fluorescent lights overhead trying so desperately to wash her out.
He needed to speak. Ignoring the way his heart leapt into his throat and how badly he wanted to tell her he was sorry, Eris forced himself to smile.
To say, “There’s my wife. Welcome home, Arina.”
#i made sienna a toddler because i felt like that would be hell for him#and eris could probsbly manage a teenager better#also i took some liberties with the story obviously#but the inspo was what a girl wants

Baby's First OC, coming to a Tumblr blog near you!
#FINALLY got off my depressed ass and drew my girl now that ToonTown is cool with the little gay people in my phone#i would digitize this but it's so hard to convince myself to draw at all lately so this is progress#i wanted to at least share my girl with the world somehow.#you can see how i just completely destroy my sketchbooks paper by drawing and erasing too violently#my hands are shakey so i have a bad habit of pressing down too hard when drawing :[ a problem that would also be solved by doing digital#but Spotty was a collaborative effort between me and my sister when i was like 6 and she was 3. and she just stuck with me <3#which is why i haven't changed her name to something less dumb sounding than Spotty Blubbersnoop </3#obviously i took some creative liberties with the spots. she had three different body colors so i turned the green and purple into markings#sorry I'll stop rambling about her now gsgshshs#oh and she's any pronouns but i tend to use she/her for her. so i guess it'd make her a demi-girl#but i headcanon that toons just don't have gender so it's more like she's just girl-coded and has no strong opinions about it#okay NOW I'll stop talking gsgshdjj#toontown#toontown online#toontown corporate clash

today i want to talk a little bit about herp pokémon, sex chromosomes, and sex determination.
most of you have probably already been taught about the xy chromosome system; in this system, there are many possible combinations of sex chromosome, and these combinations develop into many different phenotypes. in pokémon, we generally associate an xy set of chromosomes with a "male" phenotype, and an xx set with a "female" phenotype. obviously this is a great simplification, and not really as applicable to humans, but that's the gist of it, right? most pokémon use this system, including many herp pokémon. in these pokémon, if parthenogenesis occurs, all offspring will be female- for example, a salazzle that reproduces parthenogenetically will produce all female offspring.
now, some of you who are a little more bio-savvy might know about the other system pokémon have, which is the zw system. in this system, zz sets often develop a "male" phenotype, while "female" phenotypes generally stem from a zw set. this system is found in bird pokémon, some bug pokémon, and most notably for our purposes, some reptile pokémon (for example, kecleon and the treecko line). in these lines, if parthenogenesis occurs, the offspring will almost certainly be male.
however, some pokémon don't have sex chromosomes at all. crocodilian lines and the tirtouga line rely purely on something called "temperature-dependent sex determination". in this system, genetics don't determine sex whatsoever. rather, the temperature at which eggs are incubated determines the phenotype the hatchlings emerge with.
here's where things get interesting. there may be pokémon that have both sex chromosomes and temperature-dependent sex determination. in the helioptile line, some evidence suggests that heliolisk produce embryos that have sex chromosomes, but develop phenotypically based on temperature. what this means is that there may be heliolisk out there that are genetically zw but present with a "male" phenotype, or vice versa. even more interestingly, these individuals would still be able to breed with zw females, and produce viable offspring. now this is still up in the air- in fact, i know someone studying this exact topic right now, but should it prove to be true, it would definitely change our understanding of sex determination in reptile pokémon as well as our understanding of sex determination in an evolutionary context.
#[this is mooooooostly true irl. obviously this is a very great simplification of chromosomes and sex determination.]#[i selected a zw system for heliolisk because of a phenomenon within bearded dragons which are in the same family.]#[frilled lizards do not have sex chromosomes as far as i can tell BUT bearded dragons do.]#[and bearded dragons display a concept called sex reversal which is similar to what i described here.]#[it seems to be up in the air currently whether this can work in ways other than sex reversal.]#[like whether females can also become males or whatever.]#[wasn't able to find many studies on the subject. so i took some liberties.]#pokémon#pkmn irl
