A little animation I made of Dream and Nightmare for fun, it's pretty short and simple but not bad for my second go at animation I think ^^

The music is from here, I highly recommend listening to the full thing cause it's so beautiful!

Quick explanation for the song and a gif version under the cut

So when I was first dipping my toes into utmv stuff like a year ago, I made a slideshow for my sister with a bunch of au Sanses, let her guess what kinda vibe she thought they had and then gave her a list of names/ aus to see if she could figure out who was who (she did surprisingly well and I'm proud of her).

Well, when I first showed her pictures of Dream her immediate reaction was "this guy looks like he's from zelda" and it's just always stuck with me. Somewhere along the way I started headcanoning Dream playing some kind of instrument when they were kids and when I heard the pan flute version of zelda's lullaby everything kind of fell into place.

So here they are, having a little moment of peace finally, brothers together again c:

is there seriously no change in flavor text for sans' pet rock in the pacifist epilogue?? it feels like the perfect place for a joke about it being a sentient rock monster the whole time who's just a freak or something like that

Finally finished one of my “hey wouldnt it be cool if—“ animations. Ever since I watched puss in boot the last wish in english (i saw it in south korea when it released), my brain was itching to animate this with leo. So when procreate dreams dropped, i gave in and made this. Def took longer than i thought it would mainly bc i was trying to find a nice work flow in the app. Overall, Id say i like the convenience of dreams by being able to animate on the go but ooooooh boy there are a lot of missing key features that I hope they implement down the road.

Would you ever try to rewrite some of the super editions or novellas? I think a rewrite of Bluestar's Prophecy in this universe would be super neat but I understand totally if you're just planning on sticking to the main books.

For the foreseeable future, SEs and novellas are not going to be touched. Their events may be altered and discussed within the main books, but I have no intention of rewriting anything besides the first three arcs of Warriors - TPB, TNP, and PO3. That's not to say I'll never write anything else, but it is highly unlikely that I will.

Decided I'm still not ready to get back into blankets so I've moved onto making the Halloween cardigan 🤗

Have the first row of the body done and started the second! Gonna try to make 7 rows for the body but depending on how much yarn this takes it might have to be a bit shorter :p we'll see

Also the ribbing on the cuffs and the hem is going to be orange and black stripes 💚💜🖤🧡

Tempted to hate watch something that’s the devil whispering in my ear 😔

[persephoneflouwers]

I sometimes wonder how much Louis is able to withstand. It’s a lot of heartbreak in a short amount of time. I got to thinking about this when I’ve been catching up on old 1D footage and even after 1D ended how they really supported each other.

A couple of things that are like daggers to the heart… that hug they shared at the last show. I know we all focused on the Larry hug but with some of these videos & tik toks people are sharing on Twitter, I really saw the Lilo hug. I teared up. They were so close even with the band ending. And then I think of Liam wearing Louis’ merch. Ugh I teared up again. Louis defending Liam on that radio show, teared up again. These darn lilo compilations lol. It’s just minutes of pure emotion. I feel like Louis once again lost such a big part of his support system that he and we thought he’d have for many years to come. Oh and the “I thought we’d share the same stage again but it wasn’t meant to be” part. And how Liam said that Louis would purposely start these water fights to make Liam smile and be like a kid again.

To see how he was publicly grieving by posting not only his statement but the pictures he posted of the 2 of them and then also posting his latest song to encourage people to stream it. It just kills me to see Louis be the next big target online. The amount of hate & wishes of harm on him so soon after Liam’s passing is gross. I hope Louis stays far away from social media and just concentrates on himself during this difficult time.

Oh, that was a bit soul cleansing lol. Sorry to bring up all of this, things just really got to me yesterday. I hope everyone can take steps to heal, I guess I realized my process might be a little longer ❤️‍🩹 Take care!

autism moment: im sad that the phone i was running into the ground finally bit the dust (⁠>n<⁠；⁠) it was only a matter of time, it could barely hold a charge even if unused for ~6 hours and got unbearably warm if i did anything intense like appts over zoom. no data loss, aside from a few pics id downloaded but not yet backed up. and ive had 2 phones for awhile, this dead phone as my daily driver and then another phone w/ my sim card to just make calls & order ubers, so i just swapped over to the other phone no problems. need to redownload all my apps & set everything back up how i like it, which is a pain in the butt but not like life-ending or anything. still. (T n T)

Chapter One

Chapter Two

Chapter Three

Chapter Five

Training with Natasha goes well for the first few sessions. Once you’re used to being sore, you make the mistake of trying your luck. Natasha has, in fact, been taking it easy on you the entire time. The moment your attitude goes from confident to cocky, she lays you out flat on your ass.

Your face burns red as she helps you up.

“Don’t get comfortable,” she says, “and don’t underestimate your opponent.”

Not long after that, Tony catches you on your way to the gym with the results from your DNA test.

“There’s nothing too unusual,” he says. “You might want to be careful about sweets, but otherwise you’re basically normal.”

You try not to be too disappointed. Having no hidden X-gene doesn’t stop Barton from being a badass. Besides, you’re making progress with Natasha. You could definitely still be useful.

Stark interrupts your thoughts. “Don’t worry; you’re in great shape. I doubt you’ll develop diabetes anytime soon.”

It takes you a second to realize he’s referring to other findings in your DNA test; just as you’re making that connection, he smirks to himself.

“I’m just joking. Actually there was something else we wanted to talk to you about.” He gestures with his chin behind you, toward the gym door. “When you’re done with Nat today, she’ll take you to the penthouse, and we’ll have a chat.”

You nod, not fully trusting your voice not to break. What could they want to discuss? It’s way too early for you to go on any kind of mission. You don’t feel even remotely prepared.

Or are they going to take back their offer? Tony is fairly unreadable, and he never did tell you if you passed his weird interview.

Nat comments on your demeanor toward the end of the latest session. “You can’t let your feelings affect how you fight. That could be the difference between life and death.”

~

She’s waiting for you when you exit the showers. Your heartbeat seems to climb into your throat, even though she gives you a smile before leading you away.

The elevator ride was quiet. You nervously shove your hands into your pockets as Natasha opens a door into a lounge area. Despite the flat being open, it’s cozy, and everyone appears to already be deep in a conversation around a coffee table.

Steve offers you a warm smile and a seat by him as everyone stops to look at you.

“Everyone, this is our latest recruit,” Tony says from across the table. He gestures around the table. “You’ve already met several of us. This is Thor and Sam.”

Sam smiles and nods, and Thor gives a wide grin. You can’t quite place Sam, but you don’t want to embarrass yourself or him over not recognizing him, so you only wave meekly and introduce yourself.

After spending so much time with Natasha, and kind of flirting with Steve, you didn’t really expect to be quite so starstruck again surrounded by so many of the Avengers.

“You’ll probably meet the others another time,” Tony says, waving a hand dismissively. “Sam just happened to be free tonight.”

You take the seat Steve offered you, and Stark continues.

“So,” he says, clapping his hands together and glancing around, “who wants to share the news?”

You look expectantly around the coffee table, and a hand claps you on the back, startling you. You turn to your other side, where Dr. Banner is sitting.

“Welcome to the Avengers,” he says, smiling.

You have to take a second to process—the words, then your emotions. “I—wow, thanks. I honestly wasn’t expecting that,” you say.

“Wait till you hear the other news,” Bruce says, looking past you.

You follow his gaze back to Tony.

“We have access to very powerful technology for a short period of time," he began. “This technology can be used to do many things, but what we're most interested in using it for is making the mundane... extraordinary.”

Everyone turns to look at you.

“What?” you ask after a moment, looking around the group. “…Is there something on my face?”

Tony sighs. “Were you even listening?”

“Yeah, it can change boring to awesome. What's this have to do with me?” you ask. “I'm just a normal—”

It finally clicks.

“Oh . . . You mean me?”

Bruce nods. “We're not taking this lightly. You acted very well under pressure, despite being ‘normal.’”

“And we're just giving you the option,” Steve added. “You don’t have to if you don’t want to.”

You hesitate. “Is this like a top-secret, government, experimental thing that’s gonna break me, or…?”

Tony rolls his eyes, and Natasha leans forward to answer. “No, it's better. It’s faster, and easier on the body.”

Dr. Banner chimes in. “Fortunately, no government on Earth will ever have access to this particular device.  I can’t imagine the havoc.”

Stark clears his throat, drawing your attention back to the other end of the table. “Do you want to get powers and join the Avengers or not?”

You nod. “Yeah, but… what's the catch?”

“We can literally program two specific powers into your DNA.” His annoyance is palpable. “The ‘catch’ is you'll be an Avenger and we'll need to be able to contact you with little to no notice.”

At the mention of two powers, you already have one in mind.

“I'll need some time to pick my powers,” you reply. “But sure, I'll do it.”

Tony glances at his watch and heads toward the door. “You've got twenty-two hours to decide. I'll be in my lab.”

After he leaves, the rest of the group breaks for the kitchen. Clint, who’s said nothing since you arrived, calls out, “Hey, newbie!” and tosses you a glass, which you deftly catch, to your own surprise. You now realize that training with Natasha is definitely paying off.

It’s not a full dinner, but someone has prepared a huge charcuterie that’s practically a buffet on the dining table. Drinks are set out on the island, but you’re more in the mood for soda.

You catch Bruce’s eye and point to the fridge. “Can I…?”

“Go for it,” he says, gesturing broadly with a grin. “Tony’s casa es su casa.”

You laugh as you place your unused glass on the counter. In the fridge, you find a stash of cola and crack open a can, shutting the door with your elbow.

You’re not really sure how to approach the group, but a question from Sam gives you an opening.

“How did they rope you in?” he asks.

You step toward the group, shrugging. “Dumb luck…��� You consider your actions on the train with a half grin. “…Emphasis on the ‘dumb.’”

“They threw a knife,” Natasha butts in, smiling. “They missed, but it still helped.”

Sam shakes his head and chuckles. “Man, they let anyone in these days.”

“What’s that say about you, Feathers?” Clint jokes. “You just joined this year.”

It doesn’t take you long to connect the dots, now. You realize that Sam must be the Falcon.

“I have experience,” he shot back over his drink.

“They helped stop a subway hijacking as a civilian,” Bruce retorts, “with, what, a knife and some string?” He turns to you to verify.

“A few hoodie laces…” you answer meekly from behind your can of soda, “…from the kids.” You don’t let the silence hang too long. “To be fair, I only helped tie up the Hydra agents after Natasha knocked them out.”

“No, no, don’t sell yourself short,” Nat pipes up. “I mean, yes, that’s basically how it went down, but you’re still selling yourself short. Sam,” she turned her attention to him, “try to hit them.”

You gulp down too much soda at once, eyes pricking from the carbonation. “What?” You definitely don’t feel ready after yesterday’s fiasco and having your entire ass handed to you.

Sam chuckles again. “Not up for it? That’s fine.”

You look around the group; Steve seems confident in you, and Natasha gives a subtle nod. Well, if Black Widow thinks I can handle it…

You put your can down and move away from the furniture. “I can give it a shot,” you say, trying to mask your nerves.

Sam raises his eyebrows and puts down his food. “I’ll go easy on you,” he says as he approaches.

He throws a punch, which you dodge. He smirks, then goes for another. You duck out of the way again. “Hmm…” He pauses in thought before switching strategies and going for a kick.

You dodge, grab his leg, and sweep the other one out from under him, landing him flat on his back.

To your surprise, he laughs, and you get a few cheers—the loudest from Thor.

“Not bad,” Sam comments as you help him up.

“Thanks. I’ve only been training for a couple of weeks,” you say. “I’m gonna need a lot more practice.”

You retrieve your drink. You want to ask Thor if he’s really from another planet, but Clint speaks before you get the chance.

“So, do you have any powers in mind?” he asks.

“Just one right now,” you respond. “I’m kind of stumped on the second.”

“Oh?” He leans on the island and takes a sip of his drink. “What’s the first one?”

“Healing. Like, super-fast healing.” It’s been your favorite hypothetical pick almost as long as people have been asking you, “If you could pick a super power…”

Steve chimes in. “Oh, like Wolverine.”

“Well, I actually got the idea from Deadpool,” you shrug, “but same difference, right?”

The room freezes in stunned silence before Clint erupts into loud guffaws. "Oh, my God. Tony has to hear this. F.R.I.D.A.Y., call Tony!”

A holo screen appears over the island. You see Tony working on something, with one arm encased in his Iron Man armor.

“Have they decided on their powers already?” he asks.

Clint, still laughing, gestures to you and says, “Tell him what you told us.”

You can’t quite hold back your smile, and your mouth quirks up on one side. “I want a healing factor, like Deadpool.”

Stark stops what he’s doing and gives you a flat look. “You’ve gotta be shitting me.”

Clint laughs louder, and Tony has to speak over him.

“And the other power?” he asks, sounding defeated.

“I haven’t decided yet,” you respond.

He sighs and ends the connection.

You have to ask. “Why is everyone having a weird reaction to my mention of Deadpool?”

Clint wipes a tear from his eye. “He’s been trying to join the Avengers for a while now. He drives Tony batshit whenever he stops in.”

“I’ve only ever seen him on the news,” you say with a grin. “Mostly from a distance. From what I’ve seen, he’s a riot.” A thought. “But if I ever saw him in real life, I’d get the hell out of dodge. His disregard for civilians is astronomical.”

Bruce speaks up. “Yeah, that’s why he’s not allowed to be an Avenger.”

“Fair point,” you say, taking a swig of your drink.
