#Sceada

[sonocomics]

Here's another ✨Commission Highlight ✨! This time a set of #FinalFantasy ladies for @sceada!

These sets are always super fun - trying to get across each character's personality in their pose is probably my favorite part \o/

Commissions should open soon so be on the look out!

[sceada]

Hey there. It's been a few years. You might remember me as Key? I've been thinking about you recently, and I was a little surprised that just punching in 'sceada' as tumblr handle actually worked out. It looks like you've been through a lot since we last talked. I'm sorry it's been so rough. I know you've struggled for a long time, even since before we met. But it's heartwarming seeing you're still here. I'm proud of you, and I hope you can be proud of yourself too. Take care of yourself.

So... first off, I am sorry it took me so long to reply to this. Part of it was due to it being a very busy week, but another part was... well...

Initially, I just didn't know what to say, really. Because when I first read this on saturday night, it left me teary-eyed and touched me deeply. And well... I didn't just want to reply with something short, as this... this deserves a longer reply.

First off... Of course I remember you, Key. How could I forget? You were a dear friend to me, someone who I greatly enjoyed talking with and also hanging out with, and not to mention, you're the one who got me into Ace Attorney among other things. I often catch myself thinking back to those times when we were Staff on PokéFarm, and how our little group felt almost like a small family of sorts.

I know I really only have myself to blame for how I gradually lost contact with everyone once I quit staff and then, during the transition to PFQ, also slowly disappeared from the site. But you can believe me when I say that I've often lamented my failure to stay in touch, and not rarely wondered if I could even manage to reconnect with my old friends anymore.

Granted, some of the reasons that led to this gradual disappearance of mine had to do with everything I went through in the last years, or maybe the last decade rather, but it's no excuse for how I fell off the face of the earth in a sense. I know communication is a two-way street, but that doesn't mean I can just always wait for others to take the first step - a lesson that took me entirely too long to learn, I have to admit.

That said... it really has been a lot, with quite a few things not going my way, to put it kindly. First me breaking up with my first girlfriend and falling out of university, which gradually nurtured an underlying depression that years later, after more interpersonal setbacks and failures, would come to bite me hard, leading me to almost make a terrible mistake.

Then, the long way fighting back from that and the issues it all brought with it, with all these many roadblocks that sprung up, complicating every step of the way until I finally felt somewhat healthy again, and ready to tackle something new, to take proper steps forward.

And then December 2016 happened, with them finding the tumor in my spine, and the then urgent and honestly almost a bit rushed decision to remove as much of it as possible right away. The resulting paralysis after the surgery. The first few days when I couldn't feel anything below my waist and felt utterly miserable. Then the realization that slowly settled in that my life would change harshly. The fear, the uncertainty, the feeling of no longer being any good whatsoever... - I don't want to delve deeper into this. I'm sorry, if this makes you or anyone else reading it uncomfortable.

And then, the rehab. Being away from home and everyone for half a year. Learning to live with a wheelchair and limited mobility. Rediscovering how to find joy in small things, how to just take whatever came and make the best of it. We cannot choose the cards that Life deals us - only how we play them. And fortunately, I had the good luck of doing my rehab at a place that taught me how to play my cards well, and make the most of them.

There's been many more things in between then and now, not to mention our dear friend Corona and how that affected us all, but ever since the rehab, things have been climbing up that big steep hill. Maybe not always with progress, maybe sometimes even with setbacks even, yes. But things did improve in the big picture of it... - and I'm glad I'm still here now.

Nowadays, I can walk again, albeit with a crutch most of the time. I can work in a job that's rarely ever boring, with people who are a delight to work with and have around. I finally got to live with my girlfriend, whom I've been with for a little over 8 years now. Yes, there's still plenty of troubles and issues, some big enough to make you despair. I won't deny that. But all in all... I've come a far away.

And Key, I'm not sure I can even convey just how much it meant to me when I saw your message. When I was allowed to see an old friend reach out to me, and beyond that, even express happiness and pride that I'm still around. I wouldn't have believed it beforehand, but really, this is more than I could have ever asked for. And yes, it's making me teary eyed again right now.

I'm sorry, this is getting very long again... - as you can see, I haven't quite made it past my tendency to ramble on at times and write walls of text. My apologies. But really... I needed to write all of this. And I hope that is okay.

I am proud of what I've achieved, especially in the last five years. Sure, compared to what others my age have achieved, or even many who are younger than me, it isn't all that much. But it's a lot for me, especially given all that happened. I may never become as succesful as I once dreamed or even as well-paid as I hoped to be, but that's alright. I've had steep hills to climb in the last decade, and much to overcome. And I managed to get over most of time. And as you said Key... That is something I should be proud of.

I shouldn't keep this going much longer now though, so let me end with something I hope you'll see, and maybe other old friends one day will as well:

I was very happy to hear from you again, my dear friend. I've missed talking to you, and quite frankly, I'd love to reconnect one of these days. Sadly, as this ask was sent on anon, I have no way to contact you right now, so I can only hope you'll see this one day, but...

If you'd like to talk again, if you'd like to maybe even reconnect, then I'd be more than happy to do so. Currently, the easiest way to reach me is through Discord. Given how original I have been lately, I'm sure the username comes as no surprise to you: Sceada#1085

Feel free to drop me a message or send me a friend request whenever you feel like it. I'd definitely be happy to hear from you again, and maybe even get to talk some more. I've missed you, my friend... And I sincerely hope you are doing well in your life.

So... yeah. Thank you for thinking of me... It means a lot to me. And thank you for having made my day happier with your message.

Patrick/Sceada~

If I met you in real life, I'd sit down with you and some good tea, and talk about books and writing and ideas. And hug you, should you permit me so.

*^* i love hugs tbh!!! and i have wild orange blossom tea lying around, come to think of it.... that would be a lovely discussion! i feel like we should arrange that sometime, even if it’s just both of us having tea on opposite sides of our screens, chatting about books X’DD

Regarding A Sceada Advent

So... seeing how I have not really posted on here since March 31st and have generally not been around for a long time, I assume you all already figured this much, at least the few of you that still cared, but I still wanted to make it official and be open about it:

There will be no A Sceada Advent this year.

I neither have anything prepared, nor do I know if anyone would still be interested at this point, so yeah... that’s that. Maybe 2021 will be a different story again, who knows.

What I can tell you at this point though is that I’m alright, just dealing with the mess that is 2020 as best as I can and trying to focus on too many things. Some of which have been mildly successful (I lost 12kg this year so far), others less so (like being active here or keeping in touch with friends I miss) and then again others that took up a lot of time for little return. Work and health-wise I’ve been doing okay, which is good at least, and in the apprenticeship I’m doing I get great grades, so all’s fine on that front. Family also is mostly fine, after some hefty health scares earlier in the year.

I’m rambling. My apologies for that. I guess what I wanna say is, I’m alright, I miss you all and I miss playing here, and if anyone wants to talk, I’m usually reachable on Discord. I may often forget to switch myself to online, but I’ll reply at the very least once I see your messages. So if any of you are still out there and want to add me, I’d like that. You can find me at Sceada#1085

And with that, I’ll finish for today.

Have a good December my friends, and may 2021 treat us all kinder.

Patrick~

❝Ahh! S-sorry, mister Sceada!❞ 

There seemed to have been an situation that involved a robed person to suddenly be engulfed in a tangled MESS of weeds and flowers that wouldn’t stop growing and twining with one another. And it was someone she recognized from a brief encounter before, someone she actually quite liked. 

In her panic as she was trying to stop the magic, the plants grew even faster. ❝No, STOP! Bad plants!!❞ Thank goodness Eva wasn’t here, because she’d have given the girl a good smack as a string of words were flowing out of her mouth -- none in which would be befitting a deity to utter. Eventually though, she’d manage to get the plants to at least... go still.

Shades of black...

Continued from here-

Daguerreo, another city, another name unfamiliar to the mercenary. It was as if stones had it out for him, as he already found himself lost in another countryside far from home. Was it not enough for them to save him from his fate? Did they have to guide him to unfamiliar lands? Honestly, he did not know why he bothered anymore. Running a gloved hand through his golden blonde hair, he let it a sigh and said, "Indeed I am in need to more information... If it is not too much trouble, can you lend me some aid?"

To make matters worse, he had to rely on another stranger to help him along. He had done so plenty of times in the past, but after all he has been through, Ramza is feeling a little more... Harsh than what his friends would have called normal. He kept up appearances, tried to hide his rising frustrations behind a mask of politeness and a smile, but this... This was making it difficult! Forget far from home, judging by the appearance of his new acquaintance, he doubted he was even in the same world, let alone country.

That fact alone put him on edge, but this fellow didn't seem like the sort that would mean him any harm. He did no wrong to him, in fact, he seemed like pretty swell guy by how he is willing to give information out to a complete stranger. For that, he would hold his building anger in a while longer. Placing a hand on the pommel of his sword causally and relaxing a little in his posture, he asked, "What sort of knowledge do they have at this 'Daguerreo'?"

[NSFW] put a name in my inbox and my muse will answer:

“If you’re lookin’ for surprises, I don’t think you’ll find many in these answers!”

How interested they are in having sex with them: “I didn’t marry him just for his smarts or good looks, I’ll tell you that much. There’d be problems if I didn’t have any interest!”How much they would pay (or have to be paid) to have sex with them: “I would sacrifice every paycheck I get if we got to do it forever. But no money needs to swap hands for me to be into it, anyway!”If they would rather bottom or top them: “I like both, but I personally like to top and watch what I do to him.”How good they think they would be: “I’m pretty sure I know firsthand just how great he is!”If they’d prefer kitchen counter, wall, or shower sex with them: “Y’know, we’re no strangers to the shower. Although the other two would be interesting, too!”If they’d fuck, have sex, or make love: “All of the above?”If they were going to make it a threesome, the third person they’d pick: “Mm... I don’t know if we ever would. But it would probably be one of the girls.”If they think there’s ever a possibility that it would happen: “Ohhhh, yes. Very much yes!”

≾丅≿一”Excuse me, but are you Sceada?” He seemed exactly how Rosalia described him, right down to the clothing he wore as well as his fur color. Tobias himself was wearing an attire that was well suited for going quiet and stay hidden, being medium gray colored to blend in. But today, he wasn’t about stealth.

Rays Of Light: A Project Flangst Singularity

@burmecianblackmage​ || continued from here.

-Terra should’ve been able to sympathize to some degree.  Unfamiliar areas, unfamiliar dangers and wonders, it was like any other adventure.  Or it should have been.  There was a lot of ground to cover, and she wanted to get an early start.  However...-

“...Mm.  Don’t fall too far---

“---behind...?”

-...Terra was subject to the same tendencies as Sceada was, and it wouldn’t be long before the same wonder that had overtaken the Burmecian would catch up to her.  These buildings were of a design she never saw back home, yet there was a similarity to another place she visited.  Big, empty squares dotted across and vertically along the rectangular structure, the parts that were not covered in moss or tree roots.  They appeared as if they were abandoned ages ago.-

“...Wow.”

-At least Terra actually stopped moving about long enough for Sceada to catch up.-

Send me a heart for my muse’s reactions to yours giving them a kiss…💛 …to cheer them up

       {💧} Today was one of those hard days where she began to feel frustrated with herself. Coughing up phelgm and beads of cold sweat would roll down her forehead, Aria cursed the after effects of the plague. While she was no longer bedridden and at death’s door, her symptoms would pop up at the most random moments. Whether she was cleaning, gardening or even taking a simple stroll----it was a nuisance. 

        And it would seem her Sceada took notice of it. She was pleasantly surprised when she felt his lips press against hers, a flush becoming noticeable on her face. While happy, Aria was incredibly embarrassed.

       “Sceada! I-I’m a mess... please stay away.” She begged him shyly.

୨○୧一She seemed to have an epiphany as she stared up at Sceada, a soft but delighted expression on her face. “I... really love your ears. They’re so large and cute,” Rosa said with a soft tone, once she had his attention.

Winter Festival - Interaction Meme | status: open

Irvine reached for one of the little wedges of spanikopita when suddenly fingers found themselves on a collision course with another, recoiling with a quick glance up to the guest across from him. 

“Have you had these yet? They’re amazing — melts in your mouth. You go ahead,” he urged the other before glancing back over his shoulder and pointing out a young dark-haired woman across the room giggling happily into a glass of champagne. “Just watch out for that one, she might fight you for it.”

“You’ve got a fever. Of course I’m not going anywhere.”

“I do?”

She certainly doesn’t feel like it; maybe her face does feel a bit warm this morning, but she has to touch her cheeks and forehead to even notice. Plus, it’s his turn to leave for work for a few days, and she doesn’t want to be the reason he can’t go - especially if it turns out to be a fluke.

“I don’t even feel sick. You don’t have to worry about me.” Not yet, anyway; even if she was starting to come down with something, she could always start to medicate herself to try to fight it off as soon as possible. “I can still function just fine!”
