I had this idea that when the paladins are really connected to their lions and they’re in mortal danger or something, the lion can actually take over the paladin. This would only be in dire situations as the rush of quintessence from the lion would do irreversible damage to the paladin, but would save them (or someone else) from certain death. Of course I used Lance as a basis for this, because he’s the paladin I know how to draw best, and the Red-Blue double channeling looks cool. Being a puppet for two lions at the same time would probably kill him though. I also couldn’t decide on the regular white armor or a blackout version.

I was thinking something like this:

The paladins are infiltrating an Empire land base and got split up. Lance and Allura got caught up with a ton of sentries but were able to destroy them and are headed back to the Green Lions as per pidge’s instruction, when out of a corner comes (Insert Galra character). They are forced to fight more, but are already exhausted from the dozens of sentries prior. During the fight, Allura gets harmed enough to be down for the count, leaving an angry Lance to deal with their opponent. In his desperation, exhaustion, and rage, the Red Lion takes over. The next thing Lance knows is that he’s waking up from a pod and falling into Hunk’s arms. The team congrats him on his bayard upgrade, but Lance has no idea what they’re talking about. They claim he was shifting his bayard fluidly mid fight and was able to use their bayard forms as well. Lance denies it, saying at one moment he was fighting with his broadsword, the next he was waking up in a pod. They spend the next few quintants trying to figure out what happened, why Lance’s armor is now red and blue tie-dye (But normal white with no stars), and why Lance has burned-in lines under his skin.

I have way too much time on my hands but I hope you all enjoy it 😂. I’ll probably draw the side effects next week because I’m going on vacation this weekend. It’s my sister’s birthday and we’re going to Disney to meet her and spend it with her. I’m so excited! I’ve been to Disney A TON but I could never get tired of it. One time in September 2020, y’know, covid, my dad got us a week stay at one of the resorts and my brother and I did our online school from the hotel rooms. Even though we didn’t do any parks, it was still a great ‘stay-cation’. Disney holds a lot of nostalgia for me and my family, so every trip is another addition to the memory book. Okay, okay, I’ll stop with the Disney stuff now. Hope you all liked my idea!

HUH!! WHO IS THAT

[cosmicseafoam]

Mountain whose unglamoured form is so large it’s almost beyond comprehension.

Mountain who is still so tall while glamoured but it’s the smallest he can comfortably make himself for such long periods.

Mountain, who is made to shrink himself by Omega. Still larger than most of his pack but now much smaller than Omega.

Omega filling him with quintessence, forcing him to glamour himself small enough for Omega to look down his nose at him. To make him feel like he’s in trouble. And maybe he is, but he secretly loves it. Will never say out loud how much he appreciates how small and unimportant Omega makes him feel.

Mountain who loves being manhandled like a toy. Dressed up like a doll. Shrunk down and reshaped however Omega sees fit to bring himself pleasure.

[plaquerat]

What is it about quintessence that makes it different? :0 I'm not really familiar with the elemental stuff in Ghost. I know which ones are which, but not why or anything...

so the ghouls are based on classical elements, that being earth, fire, air, water, quintessence. i don't think there's really much of a reason in actuality aside from like. occult theming etc.

that said, let's talk about quintessence as a whole. this is also called aether, or just the fifth element. whereas the other four are earthly, this element describes concepts like vacuum and heaven. The word aether comes from Greek, and means "pure, fresh air" or "clean sky." It related to words meaning to incinerate or shine. So the element differs from air in that it isn't earthly. It's heavenly, made of space and stars and the air gods breathe. There's also luminiferous aether (ether), which is an old hypothesis referring to the medium through which light moves.

In alchemy, quintessence once again refers to the element thought to make up heavenly bodies. It's also related to elixers, medicine, and the Philosopher's stone. This is where idea in the fanbase about it being used for healing likely come from.

So generally, I think it's different due to its associations. It exists outside of the earthly elements, though is present in life as a force. I think of quintessence ghouls as important to their respective papa, in one way or another. Possibly less common in general, given the stated differences. As I'm thinking of it, element transition from an earthly element to quintessence could be possible, but more difficult and may take more of a toll on the ghoul going through it.

Weirdest thing about going through and rewriting aspects of the story of V:LD was finding out real early on in order to move forward doing anything, me and my friend had to actually reestablish what the fuck Quintessence even was and how it worked.

Cause apparently its life force, the force tm starwars, healing magic, the spirit of space lions, ship fuel, radiation from meteors and transdimensional portals and everything in between??? And is also just called "the fifth essence" essentially

Like I'm aware soft magic systems are things, but even while watching the show, this was confusing in a way that felt unnecessary

Imagine being somewhat inspired by/written by the people that made avatar and korra (shows that have a relatively simple and easy to understand magic system with fairly clear rules on how to follow them - no matter how upset my friend was about Toph metalbending) and having a magic system this vague and confusing

I feel like if I rewrote this thing, the first point I'm making is having Allura try to explain Quintessence in slightly more detail to Pidge and Hunk and having them lose their minds over it

[tobiastobytob]

Today, at some lessons, they were drawing, I wanted to draw all the representatives of each element

So far, only multi and quintessences are completely ready

And of the fire ones, there is only Sodo so far

I don't know how to draw in realism, but I try to somehow make my style more detailed (^o^)

i was talking to my online friend last night and was like "omg i wanna see dew in an era 1 ghoul's outfit"

and then i remembered i'm an artist

Quintessence feels like Icy hot patches

[wrathofrats]

Holy shit wrath the reading thing is… my god I now don’t know what to do with this newly gained knowledge. The whole turning the brain off I just-

Stop making me realize new things about myself lmao (sorry if that’s too weird)

If you ever expand apon that I will be so happy cause I love all your quint shit but absolutely no pressure.

-ace anon

Kicks my feet giggling

Hi ace! Not weird at all. I post porn babe, if I’m not making my audience weirdly horny and giving them new kinks I’m not doing my job correctly. Best compliment honestly LMAO. And I’m soooo happy you’re enjoying the quint fuckery

But I would love to expand upon this (:

God I think cirrus is such a treat to play with, especially for aether. Smart mouthed and hard to talk down into any sort of submission but aether loves a bit of a fight.

So when cirrus comes to him, clearly needy while he’s reading, it’s just too good of an opportunity

Tells her to undress In front of him, threatens to just leave her wanting when she huffs about it. Reluctantly she complies, trying not to notice how aethers eyes bore into her.

It makes it just a tad more shameful when aether himself doesn’t even undress, just pulls his cock out of his sweats and beckons her to straddle his lap backwards.

Gives her just a little of what she wants, fingers her open to accommodate for his big he is but it nice, he’s slow and sweet about it and cirrus could just melt into him if given the chance. He makes her slowly sink onto his cock, listening to her curse and moan as it practically carves into her, eyes crossing and thoughts completely pushed out of her head.

He lifts up the book he placed on the arm of his chair in front of them, nosing into cirrus’ hair just by her ear

“Read.”

“What?”

“You interrupted me. So you’ll read the rest of it and then I’ll give you what you want”

It’s a dumb request cirrus thinks, too easy but she will comply if that means aether will fuck her within an inch of her life.

She gets through the first couple sentences without any problems, a lilt to her tone as if she was showing off, practically mocking his request.

But she fumbles as the first bit of quintessence seeps into her. It fogs her brain, makes her vision blurry, honestly don’t even think she notices what’s happening.

“Start over” aethers tone is quiet, but stern.

She rolls her eyes, starts again, a static shock radiating through her hip making her practically forget how to read, stumbling over the sentences once again while aether makes her start over.

And the terrible downside to quintessence is it makes her so fucking sensitive. By the 3rd or 4th pass she’s shaking, trying not to fuck herself on his cock because she wants to be good, but she can feel everything heightened by 100 and the way his dick twitches inside of her makes her want to scream.

And aether? More than giddy about his little game. A sadistic smile on his face as he hears her stutter more and more with every pass, watches her get stupider by the minute on his cock

Mushy May Day 3: Massage

A quick doodle I did to go along with what I wrote for Day 3, which you can find here!~

It's honestly really fun just doing art and doodles and stuff of the ghouls, it's nice being able to do art without overthinking it for a change :3 Even if everyone I know has told me it looks like they're doing it-

Huge thanks to @forlorn-crows for organizing Mushy May!
