#a lot of words

[jellion0345]

"It began here. It will be end here. Have you any parting words?"

I met Morrowind a year ago and he has held a special place in my heart ever since 🌙⭐

It was supposed to be a simple sketch based on a screenshot from the game, but I got a little bit caught up in the process ahaha, I drew it last month, but now is the perfect moment to show this page!

Of course, I'm showing this screenshot from the game, then I went to visit Dagot Ur for the first time, well, then I squealed loudly in surprise because I came without Sunder and Keening, and this changes his appeal to us as we go to him 😳and then I walked into this room and saw him, I even have somewhere recorded my first reaction "why is he so tall???" 😳😳😳

Oh, it's all such a long story! But that's why I love Morrowind!

I continue to love Dwarf Fortress' ability to tell you a story, if you're paying attention.

My current fortress is my first time back in DF in a good 5+ years, and obviously first fort in the shiny new Steam version. I've been a little impulsively reckless because I tried out the tutorial, which autopicks your starting location and supplies. I breached the caverns, had some Fun sending squads after forgotten beasts a little above their level, and after an ettin dropped an adamantine slab on death, that winter's goblin raid spiked to ~100 strong. Most of my soldiers were wiped out stopping the wave of goblins who'd managed to climb over my half-roofed-pasture walls, but the fortress endured.

We've been bunkered in pretty safely ever since, while I try to rebuild my military. The exterior has been secured and meatier defenses have been installed, and the caverns have been walled off while grotesque procedurally-generated monsters roam around down there and tear up all the native serpent-people and troglodytes. I'm not exploiting any mechanics to train my soldiers more quickly (yet), so day-to-day fortress management has settled into a largely hands-off routine.

Except for one very unhappy dwarf, one of my tavern keepers, who began appearing in the logs having mental breakdowns (stumbling around obliviously). These finally escalated to a full tantrum, where he started fistfighting everyone in sight until he'd burned off enough anger to calm down. The disorderly conduct landed him in jail - he served his time, but lost his cool again soon after. This time, he fatally paralyzed a fellow citizen in the brawl.

Back to jail he went. Desperate to try and manage his mood before his mental health reached irreversible lows, I sent dwarves to smooth and engrave his prison cell (dwarves appreciate art!), and build him a bed (to avoid negative thoughts about sleeping on the floor). Unfortunately he threw another tantrum while this work was going on, and killed another dwarf who was just trying to draw pretty pictures on his wall. (Interestingly, this all still counts as "disorderly conduct" and not murder to the justice system, probably because his intent was only to punch people. It just so happened that he punched them in the spine, and injured the nerves that allowed their lungs to function.)

I looked at the unmet needs in his profile. What could I do to help resolve some of the things that were making him unhappy, to help pull him out of the emotional pit he was in? A too-long unfulfilled need to be with family caught my eye. Sometimes you can't do much about this, because the dwarf left their family behind to emigrate to the fortress, but when I checked his relationships I saw his two children were babies. Probably in the fortress, then! Where?

When I zoomed to the location of one of his children, it took my cursor to an empty tile in the caverns, and I had a full-on flashback, suddenly realizing who this man was.

Forgotten beast, four years ago. A giant three-eyed spider invaded the caverns. I sent our primary squad of nearly-legendary fighters to engage, but there was a problem. It was sheltering up in the mushroom trees, spitting from range, and most of our troops used melee weapons. The captain of the guard threw herself into battle regardless, climbing into the mushroom tree and braving the beast's globs of deadly spittle. During the fight, the creature ripped one of the newborn twins she was carrying away from her (dwarven mothers, istg), and threw it out of the tree to the cavern floor. Then it did the same with the other twin. It followed them down and easily stomped them to death, and the captain flew into a rage. Their duel was sadly brief, but unlike so many fights where the loser passes out from pain/exhaustion and gets coup de grâce'd, she stayed on her feet and fought to her last breath. Her squad was able to finish the kill after she perished.

This was why our troublemaker was having such a hard time. I'd built a fancy tomb for my badass captain and the babies who fell in battle back when it happened, and this tavern keeper was the husband left behind. As goblins seiged the fortress and his pining for family only intensified over time, he'd finally reached his limit and could no longer hold it together.

I went back to trying to fix him, with the understanding that it was probably a lost cause. Maybe making sure he could have booze in jail instead of water would help? I waited for his next tantrum, where he helplessly canceled tasks to fight people because he was chained firmly to the prison wall. Then once he calmed, I swooped in and made a stockpile for alcohol that he could reach. Now to wait for someone to bri-- wait, what are those combat logs? There's no new tantrum ongoing, what...?

Turned out he'd earned a beating in addition to his prison sentence this time, and a fortress guard had finally come by to deliver it. The guard was armed, but as this was just a disciplinary beating, she only used her fists. Unfortunately she was still too strong, and it was the tavern keeper's turn to get a badly bruised spinal cord. I deflated a bit as I watched him suffocate, but couldn't help but feel it was a little bittersweet. He was no longer left behind.

Got bitten when they were escaping the gun store. Immediate medical attention to the wound stopped the rot of soft tissue, bearable weakness.

Infection reached stage 2, most people would have gave into the hunger, Cap remained sane and in control of his body though urages have affected personality. Physical activity keeps him sane, assigned to do all heavy lifting.

Yesterday (1/23) was the first anniversary of my very first Miraculous fic, Struggling. It's unbelievable that it's been a whole year since I started writing Miraculous things! I'm excited to see if I slow down, keep pace, or write even more in this coming year!

(reusing the gif from one of my first Miraculous posts as well lol)

[fanta2y]

alright guys i don’t usually post myself on here but i need a place to infodump in peace and my friends are tired of me…sooooo :) this is anime spoilers kinda, im caught up with the anime and sorta caught up with the manga for jjk so proceed with caution!!

———————————————————————————

what i love most about the parallel or the writing choice to express sukuna as fire and destruction and yuuji as like a snow storm and ice is because of the differences that with which they are perceived.

fire is know to be bad, it always has been bad and the people who enjoy it, more often than not, find joy in the destruction but there is no one who doesn’t believe fire DOESNT hurt like if you touch it you get burned. this matches sukunas power type and just overall personality well, you get too close he will kill you unless you have some use to him.

with yuuji he’s nice he’s sweet he’s cute he has a strong moral compass, much like a snow day you don’t think anything particularly wrong with a snow day you can enjoy it and have fun and it won’t hurt you at first. but spend too long in the snow, and then you get hypothermia. much like how mahito pushes yuuji too far and gets his ass beat. also the way hypothermia works, right before like it gets REALLY bad your brain tricks itself into thinking your warm. like the parts of your body that are experiencing hypothermia will begin to feel warm again it won’t feel as bad and most people are tricked into thinking everything is okay,

i like this because it’s similar to the way mahito drew himself into this false sense of security when it came to fighting yuuji. he knew he wouldn’t go too far or do certain things because of his morale compass, and much like how you get warm before you die of hypothermia. mahito got comfortable pushing yuji because he convinced himself he wouldn’t fight back, not in anyway that would hurt mahito permanently. until he did, until it was too late.

UGH GEGE YOUR A GENIUS .

——————————————————————————

i’ve always had like a thought about the fact that yuuji was perceived as ice and sukunas main thing is like fire and very red colored things. so i was thinking about it and then this came to mind and honestly it’s so good like even if it’s not what gege intended when writing it i still think it’s cool !!

who knows i might be doing more i have a notes FULL of fun little things ive noticed within jjk that i just type away whenever it comes to me so … :))

Uhm

[theflyingcosmos]

I wrote the second chapter(excluding the prologue) for my fanfic and it's just over 2.5k words lmfao

[mello-when-hi]

Hey, my latest fic just bumped my AO3 word count to 100K!! That’s pretty fuckin epic I think

[noratheelk]

I just think I should document this somewhere. So, I’m dyslexic. I recently bought a book: ‘Star Trek: The Vulcan Academy Murders’ it’s a tie-in novel. The book itself doesn’t really matter. I don’t usually read books with my eyes because the dyslexia makes it an incredibly slow and draining task. I usually stick to audiobooks but this book didn’t have an audiobook form, and it’s a lot harder to read a page of an audiobook when the teacher is talking than it is to look at a page in a physical book. So I read my book, it took me about a week. I was also really tired all week. And I was sleeping just as much if not more than I usually do, still, I was almost falling asleep in class and had almost no energy for anything. When I finished my book, I was back to my upbeat, energetic self. I understand that correlation is not causation and I’ll need to read a few more books to test this hypothesis but it would seem that reading a book, the way normal, non-dyslexic people do, is so cognitively draining for me that I physically cannot do it at the same rate as others. On one hand, this really validated my experience and frustration with reading. But another part of me is sad that I’ll never be able to read books with the ease and efficiency of some of my peers.

I know it's have been a while since i post anything and I'm so sorry. I wasn't feeling with enough energy and my mind was a freaking mess (is still a mess but that's not the point).

What I'm trying to said is: thank you for still reading and watching my drawings and stories, dosen't Matter if they're AU or original.

I can't promise much but i'll try to post again. And answering my Tumblr mail and my ask me something. If you have being waiting fo my answerd I'm so sorry, I'm trying.

If you want to know anything about my AUs or original story please let me know in my ask me something. Maybe it'll help me to draw and expand the AUs a little more.

I need motivation.

Thanks for reading.

[anotherpapercut]

I don't really think it's fair to dismiss the idea that that guy might have been framed for killing the CEO as like an unfounded conspiracy theory when NYPD has a proven history of planting/fabricating evidence on people. in 2011 there was a massive investigation of the NYPD and hundreds of cases against people were dismissed after a former police officer testified that they literally have a name for planting evidence on people: flaking. you cannot be out here acting like considering the possibility that cops who do this shit under normal circumstances might possibly also do it when they're under intense global pressure and scrutiny is the same as republicans thinking democrats run a secret pedophile ring in the basement of a pizza restaurant

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

[amphibifish]

who told me it was a good idea to translate this with my 15 word japanese vocabulary

[littlemsterious]

i was thinking about that post comparing Jessica Rabbit as an asexual to Barbie and an asexual and then i thought of the Neil Gaiman post (was it a post?) about Crowley and Aziraphale being asexual sexless and then this happened.

anyways. thoughts?

sorry it took so long I meant to do this a week ago but my brain is full of rocks.

[Image ID a three sided venn diagram. the big circles show Margot Robbie's Barbie sitting in front of a mirror, Jessica and Roger Rabbit from the poster of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens standing back to back. Between Barbie and Jessica Rabbit it says "sexualised by society". Between Jessica Rabbit and Aziraphale and Crowley it says "Knows what sex is". Between Aziraphale and Crowley and Barbie it says "no reproductive system(?)". the center is the asexual flag. End ID]

Also i haven't seen the Barbie movie as of this edit so at least please tag your spoilers.
