#I’m hoping before summer

[bleue-flora]

‘Techno pinches the bridge of his nose. “Come on, Dream. Stop it!… That’s not cool, bro. Why you gotta take out all your frustration on my fancy teacups? I know you’re just mad that you don’t have a house, but bro we can go build you one. We can—we can even make it out of something better than dirt, alright?”’

Ta da! I made some art for the collaborative work, Crow’s Nest, we essentially wrote in a month, which is by far, my most diverse in content and longest fic. Thought it needed some like cool title art, since it’s basically the length of a book lol. (See below for symbolism and stuff)

- it’s kind of a combination of some main elements and themes from the fic: Steve (clearly the main character lol XD), tea, the broken teacups, Techno’s house… the stained floor

- the green tea cup represents Dream and well his broken state after prison, while the pink tinted glue represents Techno helping Dream heal and putting him back together.

- and obviously, a crow for the title and poem the chapters are named after.

- and despite my efforts, Tumblr has kinda ruined my quality, so here’s a zoomed in picture of the tea tag I made, which has the title of the fic and our names on it. :)

KARA PRETTY PLS I NEED TO HEAR YOUR MARYTUNIA!!!!

HELLO!!! i would be delighted to go into them i’ve been thinking about them recently (and i’ll let you in on a secret: i’ve been slooowly writing another microfic about them…. it’s august. tis the season yk)

for me a lot of it is just what ifs. i don’t think they could ever really be forever bc a) petunia knows ultimately that she's going to go back to her white picket fence, husband and children and an intensely Normal life even if she's gotten swept up in this thing w mary (and i think mary knows this on some level too) and b) the whole lily shebang. lily is so deeply caught up in everything that happens between them. her sister and her best friend. she is the thing that brings them together and pulls them apart. the beginning and the end, catalyst and inevitable conclusion. everything that happens between them is always a secret from lily, she never knows about it but she’s still a Major presence in their relationship.

the vision i think about the most is mary coming stay at lily's house during the summer holidays. and she's bubbly and brilliant and she watches petunia w something like fascination bc obvs lily has spoken a little about her sister before but mary doesn't really know anything about her. god does she want to tho. petunia is watching her right back bc she's never met anyone quite like her before. bc mary sparkles and makes petunia feel and they fall into this summer fling. nobody knows but them, it's all stolen time and mary sneaking into petunia's room late at night after lily falls asleep, sitting up and chatting, ankles twisting together under the dining room table, lemonade and strawberries, secret smiles and little walks around the park when lily's off doing other things.

it's quiet, and gentle, but it also shimmers and engulfs them and opens both of their eyes to . something . something that could be, a sort of fantasy world, where magic doesn't mean jealousy and bitterness and horrible resentment, where lily doesn’t mean endless arguments and competition. instead there’s this dazzling woman who makes magic feel light, like possibilities and hazy summer sunshine. there’s petunia who is obvs not lily, but mary doesn’t want or need her to be. it’s like seeing into a different world. secret snippets of something wonderful.

but it can never last. bc mary will go back to school, with lily and magic and that whole world that petunia doesn’t belong in (interesting later when mary withdraws from the wizarding world. again. the what ifs). and petunia will go back to the path that she had always planned to follow, meeting a man and settling down and being normal normal normal. and neither of them are the type to try and fight for something that was already so nebulous, to try and desperately cling onto each other when they never even really had each other in the first place. it slips through their fingers and they both let it. it’s hope and brightness and something rising quickly and falling just as fast. like a hot air balloon that’s precious and colourful and soaring high but must inevitably go back down to earth.

i also like to think about them post lily’s death. when they’re both grieving in such different, complicated ways and lily is arguably even more of a presence between them than before (classic lily amirite? more alive in her death etc etc) and they can never go back to that summer, it will only ever be memories. that’s all they really are. a handful of snapshots in time that they think back on w a sort of bittersweet nostalgia. it never could’ve worked but what if it had. it’s all fantasy in the end.

y’know what. i feel like sharing so have a snippet from a big wip i’m working on currently. this one’s tilted static sroadtrip and i had an idea of the wyatt masons, quitter, and megan getting tossed out of the static into minneapolis and embarking on a roadtrip to seattle:

About 41 minutes out of Minneapolis, Megan turns into Monticello, trying to remember how to get to the Perkins restaurant. Everything’s eerily silent and empty, save for the radio playing Park It and the discussion about lamprey eels between Lev and Trip. Nines promptly searches for images of lamprey eels (fae got some service 20 minutes ago, so even with Minnesota appearing entirely deserted, someone must be around to be maintaining the cell towers) and Midnight shrieks.

“WHAT IS THAT?!” Di twists in her seat, eager to see what Midnight just screamed at. Jasmine flinches, startled awake from her nap.

“EWW!” Di yelps, swatting her arm and missing Nines’ phone. “Their mouths look so weird!”

“What?” Jasmine whispers, craning her head upwards. “What’s going on?”

“Be nice to them!” Trip defensively snaps. WY-8’s antennae flicks up and down, intrigued. “Their mouths are adapted to better help them latch onto their prey! Hey, quit giggling! I said stop!” Trip swipes lightly at Lev, who’s failing to suppress their laughter.

Sometimes I’m tired of playing FEH and how it is not as fun as it used to be

But I have spent way too much time on this gacha game so I can’t bring myself to quit

The only thing driving me forward to playing it is the potential Titania, Gaius, Diamant, Scáthach, Ivy, Arthur alts in the near future

Plus the Blue Lions alts because those are the only FE3H characters I will summon for

And the potential banners of the rest of the FE4 cast

embarrassing kind of BUT i’ve scheduled like a date with f/o for like the first time ever because i keep on putting it off and i’ve been a little stressed this week so it’s a nice reward….!!! might draw something for the occasion and i might just schedule these kind of dates more often because it kind of feels really nice to do
