Hello Madam. Sorry Madam.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#madam jin#jin zixuan#jiang yanli#'Hey what is WWX trying to do here?' some kind of grab-and-twist maneuver that would be very upsetting to watch.#I know LWJ technically assists WWX in this scene in terms of blocking someone's blow on his behalf -#- but let's be honest. Real friends stop you from doing the truly stupid things.#Or maybe it was envy. Penis envy. The non-freudian kind.#Regardless...man this whole scene was just full of “and then someone else walks in”.#I swear to god every cultivator who is supposed to be hunting ends up wandering into this part of the woods.#a bonus for me because it gives me several good joke opportunities.#Madam Jin gets top prize for best entrance and exit. I wish her all the best. And a divorce…madam please leave him…#And can we please address the horses? I love horses. But why...why do they ride in on horses when they HAVE FLYING SWORDS?#I can only imagine it is for the dramatic flair? It just feels so jarring hearing someone clip clop in#and then another person swoop in on a sword.#The rules of mdzs's world can get fuzzy and I have to nod in an impressed manner at how much MXTX gets away not explaining.#Maybe the sword gets tired after a while and they need to give it a break? Maybe there is a sword union that dictates working hour limits?#…Would that make Chenqing a scab? Oh god it would… unions *hate* this flute!

I've finally finished my life series art yipee
Im so proud of these considering i've never tried anything that looks like stained glass
Theres also a Cleo one in the reblogs
As usual click for better quality
Flat colours (and me yapping about them) under the cut
These are also not edited for better colours just straight from the art file, idk i can never get colours just right so i usually edit them in my gallery app lol
The line art colour match the characters vibes they're not really lore based but you know what is
The poses. Obv grain is looking at the camera (and has eyes) cuz he's a watcher but also scott and martyn are looking to one side cuz they were happy about their win and pear and scar are looking to the other cuz they were sad/confused
None of them really have facial features cuz like they're players in a game come on why would they ever have an actual identity other than 'player'
Also look at scotts bow and scars cane please i put way too much detail into them
Okay enough yapping now (i lied theres more in the tags)
#scars one very much was not meant to have an eye as the background but oh well#it looks cool#so lets pretend its like he's still alive related or something#i may have done these all in like 4 days and ignored my school work way too much during it#so now im gonna not draw again for like 3 months prob#also the colours were so fucking hard to figure out for the martyn one#who decided he should be represented by mars (fameously the RED planet) when his coulorscheme is green#also also fun fact the dogwarts banner is a different red from the coral#but the red blood on his sword is the same as dogwarts red#no im not insane about him why would you ever think that#okay end of yap#life series#life series art#third life#last life#double life#limited life#secret life#grian#scott smajor#pearlescentmoon#martyn inthelittlewood#goodtimeswithscar#why must there be so many tags#art#my art#i might do like a tiny cleo one cuz i love them too much to not include her

K or N for Joe and/or Nicky
K. On the edge of consciousness.
Yusuf wakes slowly, so slowly that he can’t see and isn’t even sure he can open his eyes, only half-sure he still has eyes, and that’s how he knows there’s something very, very wrong. He can’t move, can’t hear, can’t even smell anything. He doesn’t remember exactly what happened to him, but every part of him is burning, and he’s fairly sure the weird aching sensation in his head is his skull knitting itself back together, which. He really, really didn’t need to know what that feels like.
There’s a scraping in his chest when he breathes in, but at least he’s breathing.
Where is he? He could be anywhere. He could be in the middle of the street, could have been dragged away from the fighting from someone who had seen him breathing through a wound that should have killed him immediately. When he wakes, what will he find? Will they have taken his weapon? How long has he been dead?
Will Nicolò be able to find him, if they are separated? Will he even try?
Slowly but steadily, he starts to hear something: a high pitched whistling that sounds like it’s coming from deep inside his own head. The darkness begins to lift, leaving flickering amber lights across his vision, and a shadow in front of him.
There’s a voice, too, one that sharpens into words as Yusuf’s hearing begins to return. He doesn’t understand their meaning, but the cadence of them and the voice itself is familiar.
“Are you awake?” Nicolò asks softly, switching to Arabic.
Yusuf tries to make a sound in response. Whether it’s audible he doesn’t know, because the only noise he can really make is a rasping exhale, but Nicolò hushes him anyway.
“Do not… you can be slow,” Nicolò says. He’s more comfortable with the sounds of the language now, but still doesn’t always string sentences together well. “We are safe. I am here.”
He’s made aware of where his hand is by the feeling of Nicolò reaching for it. Yusuf manages to make an actual sound this time, but still can’t form words. Nicolò squeezes his hand gently.
“I am here,” he says again.
Eventually, Yusuf’s skull seems to piece itself back together fully, and his vision sharpens, letting him see that they’re backed into the corner of the two remaining intact walls of a house ravaged by fire, Nicolò crouched in front of him with his sword in hand. There’s a trail of blood leading to where Yusuf is lying now, and a section of the room that has collapsed. He can piece together enough. Nicolò would have had to drag him over here.
This time, he manages to make a sound, even if he can’t quite form words. Nicolò looks down at him over his shoulder, and there is blood on his face and in his hair, and only then does Yusuf notice the bodies in the room.
“Okay?” Nicolò asks.
Yusuf manages to nod, and it sends a spike of pain along his spine. Nicolò turns slightly to look at him properly.
“You are almost done, I think,” he says. “You did not… you were asleep for a long time. I did not know if…”
“Nicolò,” Yusuf finally manages, hoarse.
“Rest,” Nicolò says. “I am here.”
(letter asks)
#neon answers#scriggle-scraggle#neon writes#the old guard#kaysanova#me personally i am obsessed with the mental image of nicolo crouching with his sword in front of yusuf while he's recovering#what happened to yusuf: wall fell on him#nicolo COULD have kept fighting but he's physically shielding him from anyone who might try to get to him while he's healing (incredibly#vulnerable) and thats well. Something to me. is this well written ? i dont know. i am feelin something abt it tho#this is like uhhhh somewhat pre relationship . the other thing is that nicolo is deliberately trying to speak arabic so its easier for yusu#bc like. as someone who tries to regularly switch between languages. i think its probably Not Easy to work in a language youre still#learning (italian) right after like. Dying with your brain barely online#thats why his senses dont go back btw. brain is healing. so thats why nicolos doing that#NOt that you all desperately needed to know that but i wanted to let you all know anyway#thank you for the prompt!!!#also i know whatever position nicolò's got his hand in to be able to hold yusuf's hand AND still face outward is super awkward but#i wanted the image and he's immortal it's fine

Forget the "uwu Momo was said to be an equal to the 10 Dudes" he was part of them, and erased because he was slaughtering people too much and loved to garden a lot
"She imbued this weapon -
that is totally just a normal weapon not a living corpse made with the essence of a being that was created by the goddess and wielded the purest/rawest form of magic that was passed in that being's blood and is basically what you call "Crest"
-with her magic and now can use it as her own"
Watch as the next Mary-Ann alt will reveal that if the relic reacts to her, it's not because of her crest (and the fact that the relic is still someone reacting to their own blood) but because she's just so badass that she can animate this chunk of metal and casted a spell on it to make it more OP than an iron sword.
#fodlan nonsense#heroes salt#at this point i'm pretty sure FEH didn't read the memo about what are the relics#only light in this tunnel is how the JP version removed the 'uwu imbued her magic in it uwu'#but rather she uses the magical powers imbued in the sword - not that she imbues said sword with magic herself#First the momo sobstory#and now this shit#Seriously either the localisation team missed something with pronouns#or they don't understand what relics are supposed to be#and the fact that the spin-off much like the fandom in general dgaf about this plot point#i can get making memes or shitpost like I'm the first one to type science experiments and whatnot#but here it's like having people telling to Tellius characters that Beorcs and Laguz can fuck and love each other without any consequences#for any party involved (bar getting a kid!)#and i'm like... no? Not at all?#idk it's like Atlus or the fandom who would only reduce Fodoquia to funny flying man who flies around#and loves his people#when the reality is well sure he is funny flying man who flies around with Bryce#but his feelings regarding his people are heavily mixed with a tendency on 'negative' at best#they fucking murdered his kid damn it#“yeah let's not talk about that instead let's flanderize him”#it's the same stuff with Fodlan regarding Relics and Nabateans in general

maizuru and milsiril are my favorite fucked up dungeon meshi mother figures
#dungeon meshi#maizuru#milsiril#my post#both were involved in some kind of highly skilled group (espionage/ninja work and the canaries)#maizuru and milsiril both have some aspect that makes their relationship with their sort of son innately complicated.\#maizuru has been having and affair and milsiril has biases towards short lived races#both dote heavily on them but milsiril does it more clearly in an overprotective way#their sons have complicated emotions towards them. and they’re right for that#lets see… toshiro always eats the food maizuru makes due to the love in its preparation. he doesn’t seem to have a relationship with his mok#*mom#so he was very close to maizuru#but after finding out she and his dad was having an affair he closed off from her. maizuru still heavily dotes on him however#maizuru also invented a spell to scare his child self into returning to her#and trained ninja techniques into him (I believe?)#and milsiril (though she did train him) didn’t like the idea of kabru going into dangerous dungeons#she ended up coddling him in that regard. he doesn’t know how to do household chores (but I doubt toshiro knows either LMAO)#(he probably has servants or maizuru who do it for him)#but in fighting specifically:#milsiril also trained kabru in sword fighting but unlike maizuru’s training it’s not very useful in the dungeon#now back to food:#unlike maizuru’s food the elven foods milsiril gave kabru weren’t as well received#that has to do with the different culture he’s from though#he thinks of his birth mom’s food more and had a stringer relationship with her#*stronger#despite some issues kabru says that he’s grateful for her as his foster mom (iirc)#I imagine toshiro’s probably the same way even if he wouldn’t admit it (BECAUSE MAIZURU IS FUCKING HIS DAD???)#toshiro doesn’t feel close to any of his family so his biggest connections as a kid probably would’ve been maizuru and hien.#kabru has milsiril and rin and all anyone could ever want but would never want to return to#anyways. end of essay. tldr: milfs are messy

CAUSE THIS IS THRILLER (bark), THRILLER (bark) NIGHT
Usopp's outfit is so funny for reals
He got the whole squad laughing
Luffy enablers at it again.... (Robin.... I know.....)
The humor panels so far have been so good!!! God this arc is so funny
HE SAID IT‼️‼️
They look like birds 😭😭
It's just too good... luffy taking cerberus and zombies what can't he do
It's just banger after banger what can I say
Franky feeling for other people because of his guilt complex and sanji lying through his teeth and pulling out the women excuse to seem unaffected... yeah
Look at them.... look how they ate
Omg joyboy reference?? (No)
Sanji is rubbing off on usopp.... also chopper noticing that is sogeking's weapon akdhaksjak
ANOTHER SLAY!!!!!
Their priorities: I'm not strong enough, there isn't enough food, and nami isn't here
Franky going from wanting to kill brook for his jokes to making a joke like his after he hears his backstory... exactly (Robin was already enabling him before the backstory even fdagjsfha)
Sanji is altering his body and actually being on fire to communicate to us how fucking mad he is..... I need more of him going insane I do I do
My god what is he doing ALDJALAJALA
AHSAHAHQHAH THEY ARE THE SAME!!! naaah sanji wouldn't force a woman to be his wife
You cant see me but I am nodding my head in agreement over and over
You don't understand he altered his body to communicate to us how mad he is. He inploded himself and then reconstituted again. Those germa 66 genes are insane
You tell em usopp!!!! The first of many girls you've scared into defeat!!! Akdjqknql
Zoro zombie regressed to not trusting robin akdjaks he's still in there
ROBI-CHO SUPLEX??? HELL YEAAAAAH

BingQiu’s child would be a nightmare to parent. Very cute, a natural manipulator having learned from Binghe all his life, very clever, and when anyone dares to push back he’s a sarcastic bitchy little terror.
#SVSSS#BingQiu#oh boy when he decides to date#(some demon princess who thinks holding a sword to his throat is courtship behavior)#(princess there can be gender-neutral if you want)#he’s gonna have a whole courtcase and even a tune to hum#under his breath#Binghe: let’s just throw him in the Luo river#SQQ *gesturing for Binghe to massage his forehead*: No#(that would set up a revenge arc binghe do you want to die)#shitpost

Cloud is the best video game protagonist because he is everything all at once. Shy and awkward boy? Yes. Complete goofball? Also yes. Unhinged, on the verge of a mental breakdown? Yes, that too.
#he's also cool af and super strong yet the game still lets him show emotions yknow like an actual human#and they have no problems making fun of him or putting him in silly situations despite him being this cool dude who swings a big sword#i just love cloud ok#final fantasy#cloud strife

Holy shit I love that this community is so supporting of chubby characters! The horrors of fat phobia I've seen in other fandoms is crazy especially the regretevator discord server the mods there are just scary..
EXACTLY!!!! like obviously theres still gonna be those people that get some violent rage and hatred over seeing someone draw a character fat but ive noticed theyre mostly.. a minority in the phandom? not even a VOCAL minority i just barely even see them and ngl its actually really refreshing
#not a confession#mod sword#also do not get me started on regretevator i genuinely hate that game/fanbase#from the razzytism situation (banning a fat transfem for drawing fat characters for *checks notes* art she unknowingly reblogged on TUMBLR)#to generally being very.. annoying to the whole mspec lesbian debate (i will go on record and say i dont really give a shit i have a job#and medical appointments and a license to get caring abt identities is a very low thing on my list of priorities) INCLUDING LIKE.#IVE SEEN SCREENSHOTS MOCKING PEOPLE WHO ARE CHILL WITH *HE/HIM* LESBIANS! THE PRONOUNS!!!! WHO FUCKING CARES#DID WE REGRESS 20 YEARS DO PRONOUNS NOW MEAN GENDER AGAIN!!!!!!! FUCK!!!! rlly do not like regretevator or its fans im#just there for bive#WOW sorry for the rant i have very strong feelings over a roblox game pretty please dont block this account i super promise i wont bring up#regretevator again just to be a hater i prommyyyyyy you can trust me#(i really dont care if other people enjoy it live and let live im just personally not a fan yk)

I often have to remind myself that the way i think the hero's spirit is like an avocado isn't canon
#they have like soul slime so when the hero's spirit is retrieve the individual Link soul has like hero's spirit soul slime in it#and the hero's spirit has individual Link soul slime on it#so when Link reincarnates he has progressively more soul slime in him#which assists in letting Links be children who can pick up a sword and fight#it's the soul slime#botw Link has so much soul slime in him and that's why he could beat grown men at 4#I also believe every single Link has an anxiety disorder#I call it the hero's anxiety disorder cause i'm the king of naming things#the dsm entry is just when an anxiety disorder is in a Link the symptoms don't have to match

"You'll come back," Manon said.
It sounded like more of a threat than anything
Dorian smirked. "Would you miss me if I didn't?"
Manon didn't reply. He didn't know why he expected her to.
He'd taken all of a step, when Asterin clasped his shoulder. "In and out, quick as you can," she warned him. "Take care of Narene." Worry indeed shone in the Second's gold-flecked black eyes. Dorian bowed his head. "With my life," he promised as he approached her mount and grasped the dangling reins. He didn't fail to miss the gratitude that softened Asterin's features. Or that Manon had already turned away from him.
A fool to start down this path with her. He should have known better.
The hours that passed were some of the longest of Manon's existence.
From anticipation, she told herself. Of what she had to do.
Abraxos, unsurprisingly, found them within an hour, his reins sliced from the struggle he'd no doubt waged and won with Sorrel. He waited, however, beside Manon in silence, wholly focused upon the gate where Dorian and Narene had vanished.
Time dripped by. The king's sword was constant weight at her side. She cursed herself for needing to prove-to him, to herself-that she refused to let him go into Morath for practical, ordinary reasons. Erawan wasn't at the Ferian Gap. It'd be safer. Somewhat. But if the Matrons were there … That was why he'd gone. To learn if they were. To see if Petrah truly commanded the host there, and how many Ironteeth were present. He had not been trained as a spy, but he'd grown up in a court where people wielded smiles and clothes like weapons. He knew how to blend in, how to listen. How to make people see what they wished to see. She'd sent Elide into the dungeons of Morath, Darkness damn her. Sending the King of Adarlan into the Ferian Gap was no different.
It didn't stop her breath from escaping when Abraxos stiffened, scanning the sky. As if he heard something they couldn't.
And it was the joy that sparked in her mount's eyes that told her.
Moments later, Narene sailed toward them, making a lazy path over the mountains, a dark-haired, pale-skinned rider atop her. He'd truly been able to change parts of himself. Had made his face nearly unrecognizable. And kept it that way.
Asterin rushed toward the mare, and even Manon blinked as her Second threw her arms around Narene's neck. Holding her tight. The mare only leaned her head against Asterin's back and huffed.
Manon hadn't dwelled long on what she'd say.
And as the three hundred Ironteeth witches filed into the hall, some coming off their patrols, Manon half wondered if she should have. They watched her, watched the Thirteen, with a wary disdain.
Their disgraced Wing Leader; their fallen Heir.
When all were gathered, Petrah, still standing in the doorway where she'd appeared, merely said, "My life debt for an audience, Blackbeak."
Manon swallowed, her tongue as dry as paper. Seated atop Abraxos, she could see every shifting movement in the crowd, the wide eyes or hands gripping swords.
"I will not tell you the particulars of who I am," Manon said at last. "For I think you have already heard them."
"Crochan bitch," someone spat.
Manon set her eyes on the Blackbeaks, stone-faced where the others bristled with hatred. It was for them she spoke, for them she had come here.
jacket, then hoisting up her white shirt. Rising in the stirrups to bare her scarred, brutalized abdomen. "She does not lie."
UNCLEAN
There, the word remained stamped. Would always be stamped.
"How many of you," Asterin called out, "have been similarly branded? By your Matron, by your coven leader? How many of you have had your stillborn witchlings burned before you might hold them?"
The silence that fell now was different from before. Shaking shuddering.
Manon glanced at the Thirteen to find tears in Ghislaine's eyes as she took in the brand on Asterin's womb. Tears in the eyes of all of them, who had not known. And it was for those tears, which Manon had never seen, that she faced the host again.
"You will be killed in this war, or after it. And you will never see our homeland again."
"What is it that you want, Blackbeak?" Petrah asked from the archway.
"Ride with us," Manon breathed. "Fly with us.
Against Morath. Against the people who would keep you from your homeland, your future." Murmuring broke out again. Manon pushed ahead, "An Ironteeth-Crochan alliance. Perhaps one to break our curse at last."
Again, that shuddering silence. Like a storm about to break Asterin sat back in the saddle, but kept her shirt open.
"The choice of how our people's future shall be shaped is yours," Manon told each of the witches assembled, all the Blackbeaks who might fly to war and never return. "But I will tell you this." Her hands shook, and she fisted them on her thighs. "There is a better world out there. And I have seen it."
Even the Thirteen looked toward her now.
"I have seen witch and human and Fae dwell together in peace. And it is not weakness to do so, but a strength. I have met kings and queens whose love for their kingdoms, their peoples, is so great that the self is secondary. Whose love for their people is so strong that even in the face of unthinkable odds, they do the impossible."
Manon lifted her chin. "You are my people. Whether my grandmother decrees it so or not, you are my people, and always will be. But I will fly against you, if need be, to ensure that there is a future for those who cannot fight for it themselves. Too long have we preyed on the weak, relished doing so. It is time that we became better than our foremothers." The words she had given the Thirteen months ago. "There is a better world out there," she said again. "And I will fight for it." She turned Abraxos away, toward the plunge behind them. "Will you?"
Manon nodded to Petrah. Eyes bright, the Heir only nodded back. They would be permitted to leave as they had arrived: unharmed.
So Manon nudged Abraxos, and he leaped into the sky, the Thirteen following suit.

#I was talking to some buddies about lies of p and sekiro and how LoP’s defense as offense mentality helped get into sekiro#but then how sekiro overwrote that mentality with its own “offense is the best defense” mentality#or “hesitate and you lose” as Grandpappy isshin would say#and how the switch for the change for me was genichiro who I think is one of the best designed bosses in gaming#you CAN’T play too defensively with him because he’s happy to pepper you with arrows from a distance#and then the moment comes when you realize your sword interrupts his bow attacks sekiro truly begins as a game#lady butterfly is also a good fight but all her moves bring her to you so there’s less incentive to be as aggressive#vs genny baby who will back off and fire off his bow if you let him#this isn’t even like a video of me playing perfectly but I LOVE getting my feudal edgelord corner stunned and just bursting him down#I kinda hate the owl shinobi fight bc he hits too hard and his attacks just aren’t interesting to react to#but it’s also possible to corner stun him and just go to town on his health bar#owl father and inner father are much better fights and I actually really enjoyed inner father a lot#but the Ashina family fights are absolutely stunning achievements in game design imo#perfectly balanced to be difficult but fair and visually stunning to boot#even if there is a layer of artificial difficulty in the final battle with the flowers obscuring their swords when they’re crouched#but the animations are solid enough that there are enough other more subtle differences like how hes shifting his weight#if he’s centered he’s going to lunge but if he’s angled he’s gonna sweep#I had so much fun with LoP and sekiro 🥰🥰🥰 I crave more…#I can’t say the combat in Elden ring gorilla gripped me like these two games have but I like HAVE to play dark souls I know this#sekiro#tsuchi plays games

thinking abt this ship again . and i am rotating them around in my mind like a microwave . their are so golden retriever x black cat energy to me but the black cat is also wildly self destructive
No you're correct, Leon is the therapy golden retriever to Wes's feral street cat.
Like Leon's love is pretty unconditional, he is ride or die, til death does them part, in sickness and in health. Meanwhile Wes is repairing the broken pieces of his self esteem with the glue of Leon's unconditional love and support, with additional help from a support network. At the same time, this means they are vulnerable together, and Leon's champion facade starts to drop little by little, until the real Leon and Wes are shining through together.
They hold each other accountable to heal together, but when it comes to common sense otherwise, they're pretty stupid. Often there needs to be a third party there to make sure they don't make a terrible decision.
Anyways have a Hisui!AU meme that I've just been holding onto.
#i have so many thoughts about them#get yourself a man who treats you like leon treats wes#also fun fact! i learned i have adhd bc of them#not really but it was more like i heavily suspected it#and one of my moots was like “no one without adhd would dedicate a years worth of free time to a crack ship”#which yeah fair#anyways leon also has adhd and is unmedicated#you could say that wes is leon's hyperfixation >:3#anyways everyone around leon is like “wes is making you crazy” “are you sure you don't have brain damage”#but the secret is that leon was already crazy#wes just let him be crazy#desertsportshipping#trainer wes#wes pokemon#champion leon#leon pokemon#pokemon colosseum#pokemon sword and shield#hisui au
