For the record I'm not dead, but the holidays kicked my ass at both jobs harder than I anticipated and I've been horrendously sick off and on again. What little free time I have had has been put towards group collaborations related to d&d projects.

Also we had to put my dog down in the middle of it all so like... yeh. That hurt. Sorry it's taking longer than I wanted for the next chapter. Ya'll are always very understanding, it just gets frustrating sometimes not having enough energy/time/motivation to work on everything I want to.

In case y'all forget that I DO actually do art, here's the proof.

This lovely gal is Jenna Hollander, the leading lady of the excellent hobbit fanfic The Loudest Silence by @swaninprogress

I like her a lot bc she just like me fr fr (we even look very similar), and her -literal- inability to voice her feelings is at times painfully relatable to me, a chronic tongue-swallower.

I had a really strong visual of one of her outfits, and went into a fugue state trying to put it to paper.

im the one who asked about s1 roy's reaction to jamie pushing him out of the way of the car and im so 😍😍😍 every time you mention it! i just meant it as a throwaway question i never thought thered be a whole fic out of it 😍

Well, thank you! Because the idea got me rotating it like crazy and made me like that idea better almost because of all the extra emotions it would bring both Roy and Jamie but especially Roy wondering why Jamie would do that for him and Roy finding out how much Jamie looked up to him for real and also, just maybe, Jamie actually is a good person under all that bravado.

I have not written much for either versions but here is a little snippet:

Roy suddenly realised he was alone with Georgie. Looking at the woman he felt his guilt was going to eat him alive. How could he be here while her son was in surgery? How could he be sitting here without a scratch while Jamie was being put back together like humpty fucking dumpty and Roy was the reason why?

i have this unreasonable desire for iii to be mute or only communicate via something like wingdings if he’s ever featured in the graphic novel because i think it would fit the whole question mark hand thingy

💙 The loudest silence by barisan

💙 The loudest silence

Part of the MDZS Mini Remix for Tired Adults™

Summary: In almost two decades of peace and with a whole generation who has not known differently, it is hard for those who sit above such dangers to fear a banal death. In a lifetime of not knowing what it means to be truly and utterly alone in such a world, it is hard to understand it is often a sentence. Or, a remix of our beloved post-cql WWX whump Kay's comments: You know I'm so weak for post-CQL WWX whump and of course, barisan never fails to deliver when it comes to WWX whump. This story was such a treat with many revelations and the re-appearance of some, who were thought long lost. One of them Wen Qing! And she even gets to have a wife! Absolutely love that. Really loved how this story didn't offer a magical solution. The road of healing is a long one and just Lan Wangji appearing will not fix everything either. Still, a happy ending is guaranteed. Excerpt: It had been over a month since Wei-qianbei’s last letter. It had felt wrong not to join him on his travels, yet they had been too far from the location and Wen Yuan had just started to feel at ease with his identity. Hearing stories about his parents, his family and his clan from Ning-shushu, made his birth name finally feel right in his mind if not his tongue. He had not felt selfish for choosing not to go back then. Surely Wei-qianbei would understand, and wouldn’t be left alone anyways. Probably Jin Ling and the others would go, perhaps even Hanguang-Jun would make time for it. Yet now, as a group of rogue cultivators tell the tale of how they managed to lure the fearsome Yiling Laozu to his final death, he cannot stop himself from realising how foolish he had been.

pov alternating, post-the untamed, the untamed canon, wei wuxian whump, wen qing lives, lan sizhui is a wen, mental health issues, major character injury, angst with a happy ending, hopeful ending, healing, families of choice, rogue cultivator wei wuxian, wei wuxian is not oblivious, hurt wei wuxian

I’ve been neglecting to share my abstract pieces here, time to change that.

Spoiled for: Eye strain

It’s ironically from the Dreamland album. How fitting.

Wolfbell gets a lot of sensory overloads from how loud the emotions of others can be on top of her own.

Sometimes she doesn’t know what’s her, and what isn’t.

It’s harder than ever to do that right now.

Chapter 32 is up!!! We are FINALLY at the Goblin Tunnels.

Wanted to have the chapter up sooner, but naturally work has been taking it out of me and my time is limited.

Regardless! I really hope it lives up to expectations. Tbh I had to cut a few ideas that were muddling up the chapter and making it drag, though they were ideas I really liked. Idk idk, I'm still happy with how it turned out. It could have been better but I say that about every chapter lol

Time to finish up the next one!

The heaviest thing someone could ever hand me was their silence when I so badly wanted to hear them speak.
