#OH SO MUCH PAIN RN

[ssvperboy]

The whole things feels never-ending, eternal. She's dying for it to end, counting down every second, but the time fails to pass by quickly. In fact, it almost feels like time is slowing down as she's watching him. Scarlett knows to never be too sure, but she's given him everything she knows—she has nothing else to say.

Scarlett feels his foot connect with hers and she feels relief. She hides it, but it's like a weight had been lifted off her shoulder and then quickly replaced by another one at the thought of what might happen to Austin if someone finds out. She's biting the inside of her cheek, nodding at him. "Yes," she says, head down. "Please."

She watches everything else unfold, remaining seated. "Thank you all for you time." Something Scarlett says so often that it's ingrained in her brain, she doesn't even notice she's said anything to him. Still, she remains sat in the chair, lowering her head momentarily.

When Austin speaks again, Scarlett's head lifts slowly. "I don't—" She takes a breath. "I'll be fine," nodding slowly, mostly so as to convince herself more than anything. "I'll be fine, it'll be fine." And then she takes another breath, brows furrowing so as to ask 'right?'

Relief hitting him almost immediately when he can finally cross Scarlett off the list of being a potential suspect in this case. The idea she'd do something reckless when she takes her career seriously had him questioning just about everything, but she'd been truthful with him throughout all of this. That was something he could count on. Eyes are on glass, before they move to her as a silent brow raises.

There wasn't a way they could tell what he'd do under the table, right? But he drums his fingers along, pretending to think about his answer and averting his gaze to the name she'd written onto the notepad. The second he'd seen the name, in an attempt to be discreet he'd nudge her foot with his underneath the table. ''If your wish is to remain anonymous, we can make sure that happens.'' The name had been unfamiliar to him, but he'd be sure to dig to see what he could find. For now? It was time to get her out of here.

Scarlett sitting across the table was a sight he'd seen enough of & he'd be sure to try an attempt of making it up to her when he'd walk her out of the building. ''I.. do appreciate you coming in with the agents today and giving us a bit of your time. I..'' Trailing off, Austin stands from his seat with the notepad in hand & presses it to the glass. ''Run the name & give us the room. '' He mouths to his counterparts that had been on the otherside of the glass to speed up their process, but at the same time.. ensuring they'd be alone. After a minute or two of silence, Austin keeps his back turned to her before he's finally looking over his shoulder at her.

''This may turn out to be ugly, it may not.. I don't want you to be caught in the crossfire if there is any, Scarlett.''

Made another spindle. It's very small. Also very irregular and lumpy due to the wood (I wanted the raised brown lines to stay and erred on the side of caution in how much I cut away...but that did lead to a very irregular spindle).

It also wanted to crumble as I carved, so pretty much all the fine tuning I just did by sanding it, which helps to compress the fibers down as well as remove material without crumbling or splintering.

It really came to life when I oiled it. Probably will be best after a few good coats and some time. My woodburning kit seems to be totally gone, which is a bummer. So I'm not woodburning anymore.

Spins well. Obviously being so tiny and light it was always going to be a fine spinning spindle, but effortless thread from an unprepped piece of fleece is pretty indicative as well. I seem to find myself carving mostly thread spindles at the moment. They're always so small and light in the hand, they remind me of holding baby birds.

i love drawing characters doing cute things and just whisper-yelling "THE CUTIES. I LOVE THEM." in between brush strokes. giggling and kicking my feet at them every few seconds. simply can't contain myself

RAIZO WAS THERE THE ENTIRE FUCKING TIME????

Okay, I was going to explain a possible path for a worm of the string au with Sparrow complaining one day that the puppet can't leave the chamber to relive the fever of being in one place and that her thesis being rejected and then Caper reading the thesis and iterating that idea and then he somehow manages to get off the string.

But getting off the umbilical without reason or explanation is more funny!

Imagine if that starts happening to the others iterators?

Pls tell me his face is priceless! More so if it is a red lizard (do train lizard exist in your au?)

Also, how would Notos and Haboob react to Sparrow?

Now, you mentioned that when Sparrow killed the red centipede she was not in the respawning cycle. What is the age that the Ancients enter the cycle?

staring like a deer caught in headlights GSDLKMCLK this man should either have internal bleeding from a Red Liz bite or bad damage in the coconut and Yet he's 👌 how puzzling n yah! train/hurricane lizards Are real in the Serotonin Take!

as for Notos n Haboob, assuming it's in the off string post-ascension thing too:

they'd like each other! :D

and the respawn cycle is entered once the etheric body is finished growing which is around like.... 20-23 years old

80 or so years of life really ain't enough can I have an elf lifespan instead please? Or at least a dwarf's... I need at least a couple hundred years... Oh and a new spine every 5 or so years, if that's not too much to ask. 3. 3 years actually. Yeah, a new spine every 2 years, and a lifespan of 350-750 years, that's all I want really.

little life update/rant below :)

i feel like i've been so inactive lately which makes me big sad, but when i say i have not had the time, i'm being so serious. yesterday i literally woke up, went into work an hour early, stayed after for almost 2 hours, went home, made dinner, and immediately sat down to work on a grad school assignment and then had to work for another hour before i went to bed. then i woke up this morning and did it all again. it just feels like that's how my days look more and more recently, and it's been really hard tbh. it's demoralizing and just sad to work all day and still wake up the next day wishing i had done more, still with a mile long to do list, and knowing that it's just going to keep being this way for at least the next couple weeks.

anyways all of this is to say that i'm just both really grateful for and sorry to all my mutuals who have continued to tag me in things and stuff in the past couple weeks :) it may sound weird or dumb, but if i'm being honest i have SERIOUS fandom fomo right now, and, even though i haven't really had time recently, it's been nice to not feel like lost in the shuffle or forgotten (i told u it was going to sound weird).

being on tumblr/in fandom has truly been the most incredible escape and been such a stress relief and source of happiness for me. i'm still very much here, just lurking and liking more because i'm conserving brain bandwidth as much as possible during the week!!!!
