#MY BABIEEEEEES

[lafaiette]

Thank you so much @majorpepperidge for this wonderful commission!

It's a scene based on my Pen/Builder fic, Such Is The Duty - the mood is perfect, I couldn't have asked for a better depiction of Lucy's visits to Pen 😭❤

Ride 731: The first years and the foggy morning

Pag 1

5: Bottles.... helmets... gloves... this should be it

6: Now

Pag 2

2: …. naka-kun

….naka-kun

3: Kinaka-kuun

Hn....

4: Ngh...

5: Straight-

Road!!

Pag 3

1: What kind of way of waking me up is that!

Well, you wouldn't have woken up otherwise

I woke up though!! (And many other people woke up too!)

2: “In order to catch up we have to wake up early and run in the morning”.... you're the one who suggested it yesterday

I did, but still!!

3: Here, breakfast

Huh!?

4: I made it with the konbu left from yesterday's dinner, dried food, and nori, teh!!

I-incredible, you really prepared!!

I have bananas too

Seriously!?

5: Your jersey and shous

Ohh

6: Bottles and helmet

Ohh

7: I also oiled the bikes' chains

Pag 4

1: You really have the spirit of a high-class manager!!

Ah... you're making me shy, teh

Pag 5

1: No, congrats.... I have to praise you!! You're really amazing!!

Tehe....

2: What time did you wake up?

Counting backwards from when I woke you up at 4- I woke up at 3!!

You're really an excellent manager!!

3: You're amazing, Rokudai

5: Huh? You're eating brekfast now?

Yeah, there were a lot of things to prepare, so it's easier to eat brekfast now while I'm running

At least eat before instead of making me eat first!!

Pag 6

1: This guys!! He makes tremendous sacrifices!!

2: Th-thank you....

No, it's okay, it's okay, it's not a big deal

3: I already told you before, teh, but this it's all thanks to your suggestion yesterday, Kinaka-kun, teh

6: Ah.... it hurts

7: You okay, Rokudai?

Ughhh, I got a leg cramp while I was washing my back earlier

8: Tomorrow is the “second day” of training camp

9: Now, the two of us are standing at a crossroad, and there are two things.... that's what I'm thinking

Pag 7

1: We ran 180km today, it was difficult and our bodies hurt all over

And tomorrow too, we'll continue running, for another three days

2: Piling up distance ran with a goal of 1000m

3: Two?

This is the first

4: The other thing is

Can we catch up with the senpais running 250km....

6: and keep an eye on the ticket to become Inter High members....?

7: To do that, we have to run in a moment when no one else is running...

It could be too much, and we could be down and retire around the third day

8: “Retire��!!

9: Aiming for the medal “I ran”....

Pag 8

1: Or falling spectacularly aiming for the first six places!!

3: Our senapis are strong!! There's no way we'll win!!

Honestly, I know it's reckless

But I can't run without trying to close the gap

4: Before my eyes!!

Pag 9

4: Kinaka-kun, let's switch, teh

Yeah!!

Pag 10

1: Let's switch, Rokudai!!

Yeah, teh!!

2: We'll close it!! This distance!!

3: We'll do it somehow!!

4: We're aiming to finish among the first six places in this training camp!!

Pag 11

1: Aalright, nice, Rokudai, this pace is good

Yeah!!

2: Sixth lap!!

4: We've been doing okay for now, right!?

You know, I, there's something I've been feeling lately

5: Can I tell you? Kinaka-kun....

Pag 12

3: Kinaka-kun!!

4: Are you alright!?

No, wai...

Are you hurt!?

Is it the horizontal knee muscle?

5: I'm okay, it starts hurting here sometimes... I'm used to it

I just have to apply torque.... and I can go

Pag 13

1: It's probably because yesterday, since the first lap, I used  too much “straight” and now I'm feeling it

2: Straight road!!

4: If we slowly finish this last half a lap, at the “start goal” there's taping, teh

Yeah, thanks

8: That guy, he really has a nice touch

Pag 14

1: I'll pull more, teh!!

Sorry about that!!

5: We have five laps left, teh

6: Rokudai...

7: Dammit!!

Pag 15

1: I'm so grateful, Rokudai!!

2: I've never felt so reassured in having someone like you!!

3: When I was in middle school, when I told people I wanted to go to Sohoku, they told me it was impossible

4: I wanted to do my best, by deep in my heart I was anxious

5: That's probably because I have always been alone!!

6: I'm so glad I came to Sohoku!!

Pag 16

1: Let's switch!!

2: I'll pull for the last two laps!!

3: This is my Straight Road of gratitude!!

Woah, it's faster than it usually is!!

Pag 17

1: Yeeaaah!!

Now we're on par with the senpais with a total of “250km”!!

I'm so glad, Rokudai!!

Pag 18

1: We did it....!!

2: The morning sun is rising completely!!

Yeah!!

3: Waaa, everyone will already be havng breakfast!!

That's bad, let's hurry

4: For the next three days

5: Will you run together with me, Rokudai?

Huh!?

6: No matter how hard it is, let's go

Pag 19

1: The two of us, to the Inter High!!

2: Yeah, teh!!

3: Ah, by the way, there was one more thing I want to tell you, Kinaka-kun, teh

Oh? Oh? What is it!? Maybe that I shouldn't be so arrogant....?

Kinaka-kun, recently

Pag 20

1: The things you say aren't bland at all, teh!!

2: Now... I had enough sleep and my physical condition is perfect too

3: We'll try that soon....!!

4: Don't go easy on them, Danchiku!!

[muffingnf]

thank you so damn much sapnap for taking our sad wet cat with you to have fun he has been living in a box on the side of the road for the past 6 months

[reigningm4x]

maxverstappen1: Solid day to get started, and what a place to drive! Lovely to see so many of you already here 🇧🇪👋

[storge]

This is the last thing she left to me. This is her choice after all. If she doesn't want to leave, what can we do?

Fic Snippet: Complicated Relationships

Religious trauma comes in some interesting flavors when gods walk among you.

random little snippet from The AU In Which All the Marriages Are Arranged that i thought y'all might like

~500 words, canon-typical gods and possession talk, also some referenced murder.

Xornoth had been inside Aeor's church exactly once since...since Everything.

It had been the night they'd taken the throne; once they'd talked Scott down from his panic enough to sleep they'd left him in the palace and gone straight to the church. They'd thrown the door open and stormed across the threshold and up the aisle to the altar. Lurching side to side with exhaustion and unfamiliarity with the added gangliness they'd gained from their most recent growth spurt. Trailing mud and blood and the smell of the soot and smoke that was all that remained of their parents' corpses.

The few priests still there had scattered. Even those who had taken their side. Xornoth had ripped the crown from between their antlers and slammed it down on the fine woolen altar cloth, staining the white and gold with the rusty-brown of old blood. Their father's blood.

"If he ever hears your voice the way I hear Exor's," Xornoth had proclaimed through gritted teeth, the heat gathered at their fingertips singeing the fabric. "Then I will burn this place to the ground, grind the ashes into the midden, and turn that statue of yours out there into so much dust."

That's not how it works, you fool! The demon in their head roared in rage, You cannot escape me. And he cannot escape my brother. It is fate! Balance! A Battle forever locked!

Xornoth did not look away from the golden antler crest above the altar. "Do you understand me, Aeor?"

There was no response in words but the atmosphere in the sanctuary shifted, the few candles still lit flickering as if bent by a breeze. A vague sense of acknowledgement rolled over Xornoth's soul and they took the choked off anger from the place in the back of their mind where Exor dwelt to mean it was an affirmative.

Xornoth had never been an elf of many words. They left the heat-warped crown there on the altar, glistening golden in the low lights.

And Scott's mind had always been his own.

His mind but not, apparently, his life, Xornoth thought as, decades later, they once again stood on those same, flawless quartz stairs, a different crown for the same kingdom settled between their antlers, a weight rendered almost invisible from familiarity.

And whose fault is that? Exor sneered. Xornoth ignored him. Turning on their heel to jab a finger at the back of the stag statue's head.

"If I step foot in here and you smite me, Scott will be sad. And he'll have to be king and then he'll never have a full nights sleep ever again and you know it."

They pause a moment. There is no response but there is no roll of thunder either or sudden stormhead over the mountains, so that is probably as good as Xornoth is going to get.

Enough procrastinating. They have a brother to apologize to.

What's the names of your foals, Fluttershy?

A flashback!

(Sorry for the bad quality…)

Fluttershy has three fraternal triplets! The one with the red outline is her daughter, Apple Jacqueline (or Jackie, named after Apple Jack), the one with the pink outline is her daughter, Rosey Posey, and the one with the yellow outline is her son, Apple Spice.

no, Big Mac or Applejack are not the other parent. :)

Ride 748: The sixth and seventh place

Pag 1

1: Keep it up, Rokudai!!

It's past 9pm!!

2: Three hours left....!!

Until we complete the 1000km... there are still

3: 60km!!

Yeah!!

Pag 2

1: 20km in an hour... if we can run 4 laps per hour, we can do it!!

We can reach 1000km!!

Pag 3

1: Yeah!!

4: We can do it!!

Yeah!!

5: Gooo!! Do your best!!

55km left!! Go!!

Will their bottles be enough....

6: Those two can do it

Will they really complete the 1000km? Kinaka and Rokudai

Even though they're first years!!

Pag 4

1: There was also a moment where he seemed to be having a tough time, but Kinaka encouraged him

They looked so fired up now, right!?

They got back up!!

The look in their eyes was terrific!!

2: Sugimoto ran with determination

3: But... this fight is...

He... Sugimoto knows all that well

He's fighting understanding that

4: Kuaaaa

5: Garuaaa

Pag 5

1: It was probably the same for Danchiku

2: Danchiku watched Sohoku running for two years

And Sugimoto for three years....!!

4: So they chose that race!!

Pag 6

1: They chose to fight!!

3: Are you an idiot... Sugimoto

4: If you ... wanted to run with me at our third and last Inter High, you could have stuck behind me, easily, and take the goal that way

5: and become... a member... the “sixth man”

Pag 7

1: You chose a harsh way

2: You were thinking about the team....

4: You were thinking about what you needed to do....

5: That's just like you....

6: You know, Imaizumi, I think, I think it's necessary

7: For our third Inter High members this year, we definitely....!!

Pag 8

2: It's 10pm!!

40km left!!

Pag 9

2: Yeah!!

4: We can do it, Rokudai!!

Yeah!

Let's go, Rokudai!!

Yeah!

5: I confirmed it earlier when we passed through the goal – it's good news, so be glad!!

Yeah!

6: Good news!? Teh!?

7: We have already surpassed the third year Sugimoto-san!!

Pag 10

1: Huh!?

Is he resting? Or is he preserving his strength? We don't know, but anyway it looks like right now Sugimoto-san isn't on the course!!

2: For now, we....

3: Are sixth and seventh place

The “sixth place”....

4: Will become one of the Inter High members!!

Pag 11

1: Mem....

Really!?

2: Wait, teh, I'm getting dizzy

That... wouldn't that be amazing, teh!?

3: It's an hypothesis but, even if Sugimoto-san wants to chase us from here on, there's a “surpassing ban board”, so if we keep running then he can't catch up to us!!

And we'll secure the “sixth place”!!

4: You're so smart, Kinaka-kun!!

5: Right?!

6: Waaaa

A member... it's almost within reach, teh.... that's incredible, teh...!!

Pag 12

1: I'm so glad, teh, Kinaka-kun!!

Yeah!!

No, it's too soon to cry!!

2: I'm so glad we kept on running

There are still 40km left!! Don't lose your pace!!

3: Tears are for after the finish line!!

4: Ahh, it's here, teh... a blan comment, it's been a while

Oi!! I cheer you up and yet you hit me!!

5: But now it touches my heart!!

It's thanks to your encouragement, Kinaka-kun, that I arrived here, teh!!

6: Uhm!!

Pag 13

1: Let's aim for the Inter High!!

Yeah!!

3: Go

4: Go, Rokudai

Pag 14

1: It's only 40km left.... you can do it on your own, Rokudai

2: It hurts-!!

3: I reached my limit for the pain

All the “let's go”, “let's do it” and the encouragement were to deceive you

4: I had to

I've been having leg cramps for a while

5: The “Inter High”

6: Even though it's right before my eyes

It's so frustrating

Pag 15

2: Wha- Rokudai

You moved back before I noticed...

3: If you're tired and need to slow down, tell me it, teh

I'll push you and help you!!

4: Don't underestimate the “helping ability” of a former manager, teh!!

Pag 16

1: Rokudai!!

5: Rokudaiii!!

6: You mean to say “let's still go”!?

7: Is it connecting possibilities? Rokudai's hand!!

Pag 17

1: Don't cry, Kinaka Tsugunao, crying is for after the finish line!!

2: Ah!!

3: Alright, the climb is over, I'll pull you on the downhill!!

4: Yeah, teh!!

Pag 18

1: Waa-teh!? Suddenly I can't keep my balance!!

2: Rokudai!?

3: A flat tire!!

4: Huh, a flat tire!?

Your tires are screaming for the 1000km

Ahh

Dammit!! Mechanical troubles in a time like this!!

5: The tools to repair a flat tire are only at the goal!!

But with a flat tire, on the downhill....!!

We have no choice but to push it slowly downhill!!

Pag 19

1: Hurry!!

2: Ugh-

3: If we go so slow, Sugimoto-san might come!!

4: Sugimoto-san is chasing us, teh!!

Pag 20

1: Sugimoto won't come

2: I've come to bring you a message from Sugimoto

BELLUM.   laughing cackling screaming crying throwing up because damn

when the Dreemurr sibs grow up and are actual full grown ass adults ... Chara is pretty obviously the worst adjusted, because their trauma is slowly pushing its way to the surface and they are VIOLENTLY attempting to deny showing it and their deeper feelings to ANYONE ... until those things find their own way out, and even then ... oof

but you know what

I just wrote a scene in my adult Chara x reader which makes me realize that Asriel ?

HE DOES THE SAME DAMN THING

I don’t know that he learned it from big sib, he probably learned it from his parents if anything

but he shoves his feelings down too, even when it seems like he doesn’t

will you see him angry / annoyed / disappointed / insert ‘negative’ emotion here ?   yes, you will, he ACKNOWLEDGES those feelings pretty freely unlike Chara

however.

he acts like he’s dealing with them just fine, and honestly he IS the most well adjusted out of the sibs

but even he doesn’t let people know how bad he’s struggling somtimes, until there comes the straw that breaks the camel’s back and suddenly he’s sobbing about how he doesn’t know ANYTHING, he doesn’t know how to be a good little brother or a good friend or a good king

and it happens and people realize that even though he’s changed, he’s STILL the same sensitive kid he used to be, he’s just gotten better at handling it

but EVERYONE has limits, and nobody knows that Asriel’s hit his until he’s crying in your arms at 3 in the morning pouring his SOUL out about not having all the answers

all the energy drinks are clouding his ability to LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT HE DOESN’T HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT
