GOD I wish more Western books would take cues from danmei for how to write fantasy romance, danmei is like the only genre I’ve encountered that understands my ideal ratio of fluffy romance to body horror

Fic Title: Whispers You Barely Know

  “Hello,” breathed the voice. Tim opened his eyes slowly, realizing he'd fallen asleep at the computer again.

 “Hello,” he said back.

 “Where… you….” the voice whispered. Tim sighed. 

 “I’m in Gotham,” he told it. 

 His soulmate didn't answer. Tim tried not to let the same angry twist in his gut affect him. He shut his eyes, breathing in.

 There wasn't a reason to be angry. There wasn't a reason to be mad.

 There…

 “I… in… Park…” the voice said. 

 “I can't hear you,” Tim said. 

 No answer.

 The mantra of no need for anger snapped, and Tim shoved himself away from the computer. He stomped his way into the kitchen, chewing on his lip. He bit too hard and winced as the copper tang of his split skin hit his tongue. 

 Tim’s shoulders dropped. 

 You could hear your soulmate. They could speak to you, and usually it was a good guide. You couldn't say your name, but you could tell where you lived.

 Tim, though, could never hear his soulmate clearly. It was just whispers. Sounds he could never quite make out.

 It pissed him off, even if he tried to hide it. It felt funfair, in the way many things felt unfair to him. His parents always left him alone, barely bothering to hire a babysitter or nanny when he was younger. 

 Bruce had tried everything short of actually beating him to get him to stop being Robin. Stephanie got a free pass and Bruce TOLD HER Tim’s identity. 

 Dick had tried to make him into a replacement for Jason. Jason had tried to beat the shit out of him for being Robin. 

 Damian got to be an aggressive brat to Tim, including trying to murder him, but Tim was a danger because he wanted to hurt the man who killed his father.

 Stephanie faked her death and then basically harassed everyone to get her to talk to Tim after their breakup, despite him asking for space. She then proceeded to try to team up with Bernard to ‘tease ‘ him, and got offended when Bernard shut that down. 

 Then Bernard found his soulmate and Tim got fucking whispers in his head not a voice. 

 It wasn't fair. It was never fair.

 Tim stood in his apartment kitchen feeling drained.

 “Park…” whispered the voice. Tim closed his eyes.

 -

 “Amity Park,” Danny begged his soulmate. “Please, please hear me!” 

 The despair and hurt from his soulmate ripped apart Danny’s heart. 

 Ghosts were weird with their soulmates. Unlike living people, the voices were barely there. Johnny had described it as if you were trying to speak on the opposite side of a canyon. 

 However, you could feel your soulmate. Their emotions vibrated in you. Not enough to influence you, but enough that you knew what their pain felt like.

 Danny hadn't been sure what would happen with his soulmate, not until he'd turned eighteen and gotten whispers along with emotion. 

 It burned, feeling how it broke his soulmate. It clawed at Danny, and he couldn't breathe. He hated it. Hated how it hurt whoever he was bound to. 

 “Danny?” A knock at his door. Danny wiped at his eyes, feeling some wetness. 

 “I… come in,” he said. Tucker opened the door, looking sad to see Danny’s tears.

 “Your soulmate?” Tucker asked.

 “Yeah,” Danny sniffed. “It's so dumb-”

 “No, it isn't,” Tucker said. “You’ve been through so much shit and then the one thing you looked forward to sucked so hard.” Tucker sat down on Danny’s bed, nudging the other with his shoulder. “Want to focus on the positive or vent?”

 “Positive,” Danny decided. “We’re moving to Gotham next week. Leaving behind my parents.”

 Leaving behind their disdain for him. One that Jazz and Sam kept insisting was fixable. No matter how much his parents insulted him or said, ‘if you weren't our son’. 

 “It’ll be a blast.” Tucker jumped into the conversation, trying to convince Danny Wayne Enterprises would be the best choice in their lives.

 Danny sure hoped so.

Danny’s ghost form was harder to hold together the farther away he was from the ghost portal. A solution found by Danny & Tucker was to create a robot body that Danny could possess that stabilized his form. The ectoplasm molding itself into the machine and possession causing Danny to become one with the tech, letting him not only use his ghost powers but also unique weaponry and gadgets built into his robot body.

An added bonus is that no one thinks he’s a ghost or even a human.

I combined two good omens study club themes, tartan and a movie still. I decided to choose one from Little Women, which I have yet to watch

I would love to see more art process vids somewhere (like your youtube maybe…?) starting from the rough sketch! I want to see how you plan out more complex poses with multiple characters. Do you stream anywhere?

i dont really stream anywhere (only privately to friends on discord occasionally) but i do have a youtube channel! i uploaded a kris speedpaint last week or so and unfortunately i didnt record the actual sketch phase (because its usually after only coming up with a good sketch that i get the motivation to record LOL.) i dont really think speedpaints are as big of a thing anymore but i always liked making them.

alternatively, i also have this that i saved a little while ago because i forgot clip studio itself can record speedpaints. i almost always keep the option off though because it will inflate all of my file sizes lol

i did this in like 30 minutes max btw. drawing noelle is just what i do now

Katniss tried to take Prim hunting exactly once, and it went about as well as expected - she failed to shoot anything and burst into tears when Katniss showed her how to skin a rabbit. On the way back they found a lost colt with an ear bitten off and a nasty set of claw marks on its flank. Katniss was happy to just leave it, but Prim insisted they nurse it back to health.

Thus began the long and turbulent relationship of Katniss and Buttercup. Mortal enemies to the bitter end, they've entered an uneasy truce only through their love of Primrose; Katniss promises not to shoot the damn thing, and he in turn tries to resist trampling her. (He'll still try to throw her off now and again, of course. A horse has his pride.)

slams fists on table.

more of your drifter and stalker. and operator and umbra.

Some drifter and stalker for now, operator and umbra later :)

I wonder how long its been since Sorren's presence was appreciated by someone who didn't demand something from him?

(Transcript below cut)

Drifter to stalker- "Thanks frrr... helpin' my sorry ass out... Lucky t' have ya..."

All of stalkers thought bubbles read "lucky to have you"

Ordis goes, "Getting blood all Over my codex table, he has a ROOM you know," Then, "If you weren't here to help..." then, "This is acceptable" as he's snuggled by a dozing drifter.

At the bottom, Hunhow says, "Shadow, what the hell took you so long?" And stalker responds, "Our drifter is an idiot."

Next panel, Hunhow goes, "So... its our drifter, now?" And stalker goes "DONT."

would you believe me if i said i kept this mostly spoiler free...?

[jesus-holding-your-fave]

hey. it’s going to be ok. have a toad

[kens-ramblings]

so ik it’s not cannon accurate but,,,

i need a fic of tim just crashing out.

like he gets so sick of like damian and jason talking about how weak he is and shit like that that he’s like “yall realize lady shiva was my one of my FIRST teachers, and i was the first robin she trained. i had to train under b AFTER he already lost a robin. you DONT think he was 10x harder on me than any of you guys???? there’s a reason my training videos are mainly redacted without bruce’s or my permission. i got ra’s al ghul BEGGING ME to join his league or have my children. i get gifts from him WEEKLY. do you KNOW how many of his little ninja i fight per DAY??? nahh im sick of this shit let’s take it to the mats” and just demolishing both of them at the same time.

i just think it’d be very funny. i just like fics of people who pretend to be weaker than they are(or they just never really have a reason to go full tilt so they just don’t) get sick of holding back and just losing it :D

that annoying moment when getting left for dead in the trunk of a car in your 20s comes back to haunt you 40 years later (take a shot every time ford says “stanley”)

so, another thing about collegiate teams is that they usually have an alumni game.

now the foxes don't have any alumni by the end of the books, but they will eventually.

now this might be different for a sport like exy (I played lax which really dosent have a large professional league, but the big d1 schools i think still do this too) but yk what it usually happens during pre-season anyways and its always a ton of fun.

Because what happens is that it's usually a game of alumni vs current players. and that is hilarious.

(Dan gets back on the court and gets to win against her current players)

(the current players are just like 'this is so unfair' and 'what the fuck do you mean I have to guard kevin motherfucking day' or ' how the fuck am I supposed to score? minyard is in goal???')

Neil has the time of his life btw - because an alumni game is also a chance for everyone to play on the foxes' court again, a chance to come home!
