My Ler is a... Ghost!?

⚠️ This is a tickle fic! A playful story of a man who's come home from work to something quite different than what he's used to ⚠️

Lee: Lee, of course

Ler: A playful ghost

Lee had just come home after a long, exhausting day at work. The moment he stepped through the door, he kicked off his shoes and sighed, sinking into his couch. It was a quiet evening, just the way he liked it after a chaotic day in the office. He set his briefcase down, rubbed his tired eyes, and walked into his bedroom to change into something more comfortable.

But something felt... off.

The room was cold. Not just the usual chilly air from the drafty window, but a strange, sudden chill that made the hairs on his neck stand on end. The lights flickered above, and he shivered as a soft whisper seemed to echo through the room. Lee frowned. Was it the wind? Or... something else?

Before he could investigate further, a light, playful poke landed on his ribs. He flinched and whipped around, eyes wide, but no one was there.

"Who's there?" he called, his voice trembling slightly. His heart raced.

Another poke, this time on his side, just below his ribs. Lee jumped and spun again, but there was still no one in sight. His pulse quickened. Okay, this is either a prank, or... He glanced at the door, half-expecting someone to step out from behind it.

But there was no one.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "Alright, I must be losing it," he muttered. "No one’s here."

Suddenly, the tickling sensation returned—this time, a gentle, yet persistent prod on the bottom of his feet. Lee gasped, pulling his feet up onto the bed instinctively. "Gaha!! What in the world?" he exclaimed, his heart hammering in his chest.

As he sat there, trying to make sense of it all, he felt a soft, cold breath on his neck. A shiver ran down his spine. And then—there it was again—a light tickle on his stomach.

It wasn’t a prank. And it wasn’t just his imagination.

"Who's doing this?" he demanded, but his voice had a nervous edge. "I don’t want any trouble. If you're here to mess with me, you’re gonna have to—" His words were interrupted by another burst of ticklish sensations, this time along his sides.

"Ahahha hehehey!!"

He squealed in surprise, trying to dodge the invisible fingers. The sensation was odd, almost soothing in its playfulness, but it was also unsettling. He was definitely not imagining this. As the tickling continued, his anxiety slowly began to ebb, replaced by the bizarre sensation of a weird, reluctant enjoyment.

“Okahahay!” he laughed, his defenses crumbling. "That's enohuhough!! Plehehehehease!"

But the ghost wasn’t listening. The tickling became more persistent, gentle yet relentless—poking, prodding, and tickling in all the right places. It was as if the ghost was trying to tease him, to get him to laugh. Lee couldn’t help it. Despite the fear in his chest, he burst into laughter, the tension leaving his body in waves.

"Nahahaha I cahahan't!!" he gasped, squirming and wriggling on the bed, trying to escape the playful, invisible fingers.

The ghost seemed to pause, as if waiting for a response. Lee, catching his breath, had to admit he was... enjoying this. It’s kind of fun, he thought, as weird as it is.

“Alright, alrihihihight, you’ve had your fuhuhun,” he said between laughs, trying to get a grip on himself. “I guess... I guess you're not so bad after all.”

The tickling stopped. And for a moment, everything was still.

Then, unexpectedly, a soft chuckle filled the room, light and airy, like a playful whisper in the air. Lee shivered once more—but this time, it was more out of curiosity than fear.

“Well,” he said, grinning at the odd sensation of being tickled by a ghost, “I guess we’re friends now, huh?”

The ghost didn’t respond verbally, but there was a warmth to the air around him, a playful energy that made Lee smile, even as he wiped away the tears of laughter from his eyes. And from that night on, every time Lee came home from work, the ghost was there, waiting for him to enjoy another round of playful tickles.

In the end, he found that sometimes a little laughter was the best way to chase away the worries of the world. And if that came with a ghostly tickle here and there, well, that was just the bonus.

do you have any tips for drawing character with lines in their face without making them look old as hell?? like you do facial features so so well and they always look their age... like specifically your hal in a dress piece you did a little bit back is soooo. waughghghhg

yayayay!!! okay i have a whole sheet AHAHHA lets do this

first off i learned facial lines from references and i used to shy away from drawing adult but not OLD characters with wrinkles at all but it really is essential to really drive home an expression- it exaggerates what it needs to without you having to make an expression too anatomically incorrect- facial lines are ur bestie!!

i found these photos of someone young and two older women, and mapped out the wrinkles specifically when they smile !!

i then either grabbed an existing hal smiling or drew a new one!!

i did find a drawing of hal looking mouthy/sassy and decided to do that too cuz smile lines arent the only lines youll get on a younger face if the expression is … well expressive enough-

hal’s eyebrow is raised causing a forehead wrinkle cuz the skins being compressed and to drive home the disgust hals probably feeling he has a line going from above his nostril and pulled taut around the jaw. its something subtle but those kinds of lines are things that make an expression look more realistic and are less likely to make a character look older than you’re intending them to look!!

i also came up with this ‘thin cloth over the face’ metaphor for how to eyeball wrinkles once youve got the hand of referencing wrinkles and dont need to draw up references for face lines- tbh it just helps some people to deconstruct and reconstruct (pun not intented) in a different way. like taking apart a pen and putting it back together. plus its just fun

sometimes its just hard to imagine a 2D drawing as a 3D concept so it always helps to follow a metaphor or deconstruction of anatomy to help starting the process of moving away from realism and simplifying it to fit ur own styleee

also cuz ive been mainly talking abt younger adult faces heres some drawings of alan scott!! hes my fav old guy… i need to draw more old people but their wrinkles usually stay on the face but are obviously less taut when not in use, they just kinda gather like. as i said before like a thin cloth, like dangling cloth the wrinkles stay but gain dimension

anyways yeah heres also an example of forehead wrinkles for a more angry/frustrated/deeply confused expression and a real life reference!!!

genuinley hope this helps i do LOVE making tuts always feel free to ask me for help with whatever :3

unless its same face syndrome i suffer from that comically like i CAN draw different faces but theyre all the same BLUEPRINT

i would like to request VesselxReader librarian and the reader/librarian reccomends books that vessel would really like unironically!!!!! send post

💛I luv u💛 also I’m glad you said “unironically” because you know I’d say some weird stuff. The story is goofy silly but I stand by these recs.

Vessel x Librarian!Reader, annoyances to lovers

Informational fluffy crack with links to the books

It was nearly closing time and the staff was feeling silly. You being the manager on duty thought, “who would care if I locked the library doors at 15 till? Who’s going to come in here at 8:45 o’clock pm?!” Just as you unethically lock the library doors, you turn around…and there he is… you gawp at him.

“Hey friend, I do have to let you know that we’re closed…and you need a shirt on here…you see…we’re technically in…”

He puts his large, paint smudged hand up to stop you. “There’s still 15 minutes before you close.”

You sigh as you realize you’re standing right by the sign with the library hours. “You can see through that thing?” You ask referencing his mask.

He doesn’t respond. “Can you help me?”

You flip your hair and say “depends” because despite him ruining you eff-off time at work he’s pretty cute.

“I just need some reading recommendations.”

“AHAHHA RIGHT! We ARE at a library! Heh. And I’m the librarian. And. Yeah. Hehe…”

If you could see his eyes you’d imagine he was blinking and staring blankly at you. “Anyways…”

*cue a montage of reader and vessel running around a 10k sq ft library as co-workers stare in confusion and concern*

You sigh, cheeks flushed pink from grabbing books and learning more about your new favorite patron, Vessel.

“Alright, let’s take a look at your impressive stack…”

“Excuse me?” Vessel says quizzically.

“OF BOOKS!! Hehhehe.” This masked shirtless man has made you such a giggly mess you almost forget to check out his books.

First, chosen for its lush atmospheric tone, themes of oral fixations, religious/metaphysical fervor, and devotion is Jawbone by Mónica Ojeda.

Also following the themes of devotion, obsession, along with body horror and feeling insane is Bunny by Mona Awad.

And it was a bit of a hard sell, but you convinced him to try the Shades of Magic series, starting of course with A Darker Shade of Magic, because the male lead has a neat jacket…like him. You both looked down after you said that. Was that the wrong thing? I mean…he was wearing a cloak. Maybe he thinks you’re just being nice. Or…too silly.

“I hope you have enough time to read these,” you say shyly but super cutely (let’s be real you do the radio rebel hair-behind-the-ear).

You like to think he winks at you but, you know, you can’t see his eyes…does he actually have six? He chuckles softly. “I’ll be fine. But…just for fun…how about a graphic novel?”

You bite your lip and smile shyly. “You know…and…stop me if this is weird. But, we’re doing a buddy read of the Warriors graphic novel…like the cats…and I don’t know maybe…you’d want to…no it’s silly…”

He puts his hand up again and shakes his head. “It would be an honor.”

And so, Vessel joined the Warriors read-along and contributed in such a way that he started leading the discussions, which made you very happy because the cat drama was starting to stress you out. At the end of one read-along party, Vessel strides up to you and sheepishly puts his hands in his pockets. “So…I actually have a recommendation for you.”

You blush. “Oh yeah?”

Vessels hands you a piece of paper. Gasp. His phone number. He’s already gone by the time you look up.

“Nice! Now you don’t have to resort to looking him up in the patron database to get his number!” Your darling coworker says with a grin that screams ‘BOYLIKER!’

You roll your eyes and start daydreaming about your first kiss at the Panda Express, feeling like you’re in a cheesy rom-com.

THE END

btw look at this extremely stupid article i found while i was looking for the park geun hye protest thing. im supposed to be doing chem homework but i have to show this to you

this is from way back in 2013 (right after the movie released in korea i believe) but it gave me so much psychic damage. like i don't even know where to start with this. fantine serves as an example of WHAT???? koreans want to see more of people like WHO?? LEE MYUNG BAK IS WHO NOW . who are these "koreans" he's speaking of? who gave him the right to speak for the entire country?? this might be the worst interpretation of les mis i've ever seen. at least the last paragraph aged great lmfao

Dude, Lee Chang-sup, as in the president of the newspaper? ? What are you doing hereee 😭 Imagine the executive managing editor (by 2013) writing an article like this ahaha

It might be because I just woke up, but the words dance on the glossy screen in front of my face. I have no idea what's being said or be attempted to convey.

I do think Koreans do have strong romantic ideals, so I agree there... But liking a story because it can often be used to heal or address the political dissatisfaction isn't necessarily bad. Being passionate in politics is not necessarily bad.

Especially when he's zero-ing on the movie interpretation of the story- in which the famous musical adaptation is heavily depoliticised, one would have to r e a c h to get to this kind of a specific interpretation. The musical has themes of rebellion, political dissatisfaction, and class inequality themes among some others, but like that's it, mate.

It's almost as if... It was written to be not-so-specific so people can prokect their own dissatisfaction onto the themes of rebellion. I don't know, like what he says early on in the article:

"The movie has become the talk of the town. For instance, at a Seoul coffee shop, I overheard people talking about the movie’s memorable scenes. One romanticised that the movie was healing for those who did not vote for Park Geun-hye. Another said she loves musicals. Still, another said that he wants to use the musical to learn English, as the sentences in the songs are short and to the point."

Omg it's almost as if people can use art for different reasons when digesting its contents.

As for Fantine, as you say, what? Can you imagine if all this time she represented how we were supposed to 'pull ourselves by the bootstraps and work out of poverty'? I've heard of many interpretations of her character, and I had yet to here this take...

Omg, Lee Myung-bak is Bishop Myriel?? NEVER IN MY LIFE [indiscriminate noises] SUCH A THING HAHAH.

THE LAST PARAGRAPH--!! AHAHHA

Damn, that was a crazy read... I didn't read the whole thing lmao. I read all the screenshots on this post, but I clocked out of reading the whole article after like paragraph two.

"Koreans are taking this movie too politically! That's why I'm going to talk about my political comparison of the characters and themes." ahh article

Thank you for showing me this article!! It was an achingly entertaining writing to read. May your chem homework be fun and light XD

(I might need to revisit this article sometime down the future when I'm not tired and can actually address the... uh, yeah.)

HI HELLO I have tried playing monster hunter games and I see the appeal because they look awesome but those types of games are really overwhelming to me so I have to settle with my friend infodumping to me about the music and motifs lol

Hahahha! Oh yea, it's definitely something I understand. My sister finds it overwhelming too, so she was stuck in this limbo of loving it... and being frustrated by it at the same time.

Our solution was co-op play! I play the seemingly begrudging half-medic all the time; I have several sets where I prioritize watching everyone's HP and administering healing and shits, over bashing the monster in with my weapons. I'm by no means a great hunter—I'm chaotic as fuck, too—but I try not to be so incompetent that I ruin the hunt. My sis, meanwhile, main a weapon where it's all button-mashing (Dual Blades) so she can free her head into thinking about other things. If she's in low health, she knows I'm always gonna give you up replenish her health. I also generally don't mind failing quests; sometimes I was the reason! That probably helped ease my sis'/friend's pressure, ahahaha

Astral Chain is similarly frenetic, which is why if MonHun is too much, then Astral Chain will be more or less in the same league. In fact, there is an additional challenge to the latter: you control two characters at once. The other character, the Legion, has its own basic attack AI, but it doesn't really know the best moves to make, so ideally, you control both your character and the Legion in tandem! In a frenetic fight, too! At 30fps! I always joke that I grew new neurons in my brain just to play this game. Hell, here's an Honest Trailer about this game that is generally pretty accurate about the experience! Hahahaha!

I recently picked up Astral Chain again despite finishing it circa 2022 mid-year because a manga I've been reading reminded me of it and it was such a perfect excuse to replay the game. The learning curve is fucking steep, especially since I've been playing Tears of the Kingdom, which is NOT that crazy in combat at all. Imagine my surprise when I got the hang of controlling two characters at once on the very next day (last night, basically). Wow, I can't believe I got better at this game at a faster rate than my old friends, Fire Emblem and MonHun!

... Anyway, I kinda thought it would be fun if I got to hunt with you someday. It's really fun when you have the synergy and team dynamic down-pat! We can both be "medics" and pussies who run away from monsters ahahhahahah! And that's especially because I really don't mind losing. I don't even mind just gathering every now and then. Or exploring the maps sometimes.

Maybe a MonHun title in the future, if you're up for it— we can hunt together (And if we both have the goddamn console/gaming system ahahha). That way we will both be rookies at the same time, instead of if we play Sunbreak right now, where I'll be way too over-leveled and sorta kinda veteran-ish. (Also, my muscle memory is currently coded for Astral Chain and Tears of the Kingdom only hahahahhaha)

artist/painter!jean kirstein boyfriend headcanons

☞ i’ve been having sm jean brainrot recently and this just popped into my head

☞ idrk where the idea of artist jean came from but i’m living off of it.

☞ this’ll be gender neutral, and modern au and with a headcanon in canonverse. also!! in these headcanons, jean is a college student/adult enjoy :)

you’re literally his muse. i wish i was joking.

he is so in love with you and you fill up his mind like 24/7 so, a lot of his work would be inspired by you :)

if you guys eat at a restaurant he’ll doodle on a napkin

or just in general. like mail envelopes, school papers, your homework, he doodles on it.

his hands have paint on them 85% of the time

if you aren’t busy he’ll ask you to be his irl reference for like a pose or position of an arm or hand.

when you catch him working you’ll tie his hair back for him 😫😫

in canonverse, i can imagine on off days you guys sitting in a field or a hill and he’ll be painting the landscape while you watch or chat.

if you like traditional art, you guys will have art sessions together just for fun or for dates

in modern au, if you like digital art, you guys would swap art preferences and he’d get so confused on how to draw on a tablet 💀

AGAIN doodles 24/7 and a lot of them are of you which gets you really flustered

“jean you sketch me a lot don’t you get tired of drawing the same old thing over and over again?”

“why would i when you’re so beautiful/handsome/attractive? *smirks*”

0//////0

for your first anniversary, he painted you something really nice and blushes when you compliment his work.

HE TRIES TO ACT ALL SMUG AND CHILL BUT THE APPRECIATION WARMS HIM SM

if you also like art, you and him would do outings where you go to different creative studios to try new types of creative work.

ex. pottery, gouache painting, sculpting, etc.

if you sit next to him while he paints, he’ll smear paint on your face or your arm

you helping him through an art block AND THEN HE’LL GET SO FRUSTRATED WHEN HE HAS NO IDEAS ON WHAT TO PAINT BUT A LOT OF MOTIVATION

if you get him an art supply you saw him scroll by on social media/a shopping site the other week, he’ll treasure it sm and repay you with sm kisses and dinner 😩😩

sometimes he gets so sucked inside his own head, you need to drag him away to take a break

you make him snacks whenever he’s painting/making something for a deadline

reassuring him his art is amazing even if he nitpicks every “flaw” in it like all artists do

hearing him rant about how his sketch during a boring lecture on paper looks better than what he sketched on the canvas 💀💀

“NO BABE LOOK AT THIS *gives you paper sketch* NOW LOOK AT THIS *presents canvas* WHY CANT IT JUST GHHHHH”

connie and sasha also hype him up a lot.

once he gave sasha a painting of a post from her instagram feed and she cried happiness at how beautiful and special it was

connie on his insta story showing a work of jean’s: “my best friend = the best painter. beat that leonardo dicaprio”

HE’LL GET ATTACKED BY EVERYONE SAYING ITS DA VINCI AND HE’LL POST ANOTHER STORY LIKE “GUYS I JUST DID IT FOR THE LAUGHS I KNOW ITS DA VINCI 😭”

HIM AND MARCO DO ART TOGETHERRRR

marco to me seems like he prefers the colored pencil medium and THEY’D HAVE SM FUN

jean would send you marco’s art and be like “TELL MARCO THIS IS AMAZING HE WON’T BELIEVE ME”

oh my gulay. his art exhibits.

HE GETS REALLY NERVOUS BUT TRIES TO PLAY IT OFF BC HE JUST WANTS IT TO GO REALLY WELL

“honey listen to me. it’ll turn out amazing! your art is beautiful and many people will admire and appreciate it at the event :D! so i know it’s hard but try not to worry so much okay?”

“PSHHH WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LOVE? IM NOT NERVOUS PSHHH NOT AT ALL AHAHHA WHY DO YOU THINK THAT??”

he is really calm during the actual exhibit tho.

he gets so flustered from all the compliments and it makes him really happy :)

checking up on him throughout the night to make sure he’s keeping his cool

if someone wants to buy one he’d be so happy on the inside and talk about it for days after the exhibit with you.

near the end of the exhibit he has one covered painting, and when it’s time to reveal, it’s a painting of you!

because how could he have an art exhibit without including you? his main support and love of his life <3

finally figured out a way aus may be written in this hell of a fake fandom

A, there'll be the people who make AUs as an excuse to make characters how they want them to be. Namely, I can imagine them making aito a "uwu gay *blushes*" person. they do that too often. su in the fandom likely would be very split with opinions on her, so half of these people would make her edgy because trauma, or a mary sue. no in-between. other characters i still need to get a proper idea of to see how people would ruin them- but generally, either makes them perfect or makes them edgy is the norm

B, the people who make AUs like zombie apocalypse stuff. these can rang from "holy shit why is this so good??" to "....why are you making everyone gay, they're in a apocalypse why are they focused on romance. WHYARETHEYKISSINGOUTSIDEWTF-"

for this fandom specifically, they'd probably come up with some really weird AUs. or really specific ones. "this au is if su actually died but then came back as a zombie and is only slightly herself but is herself at the same time and also the sheep is dead" kinda stuff. usually they still kill characters they dont like.

C, the cross fandom aus...a lot of shipping. especially with su and video game characters. just, a lot of ships. sometimes they add edge, but ships.

this is all I could come up with, apologizes

- S

AHAHHA YEAH

a: I have a feeling that's just how half the fandom would interpret them, there's only a few who actually get the characters

B: its like that in every fandom, some au's are just, so good and fun to think about! And then there's the "these characters have now swapped bodies and now have to live eachothers life!" But it's not just that because that could actually be interesting, no they make it so they suddenly like eachother and then there's a big villain that serves no purpose other then being the author's self insert oc...

And C: .... Pain

[yostresswritinggirl]

hey! its that one anon again. which one? yes.

anyways, i did read your response and you wanted me to expand on these little crossover concepts, yes? now,

starting with my stated idea, in this one, we break the laws of logic and reason for the sake of plot. this idea is like the kairos plot you have going on. somehow they got transported into your world. portals or white holes maybe or something like that. (p.s: did you know black holes can be as small as an atom?) continuing, they could all meet you at the same time, or one by one.

and, lets explain some more. in this concept, y/n plays genshin impact, knowing each and every husbando. and waifu. don't forget ganyu 💙. anyways, continuing, they would meet the genshin characters. but, yknow. in reversal. who are i big simp.

it can either turn out simping meets simpers, or, it can be like the last post where y/n is not simp but she knows them. so, yeah. i also think that they might meet at a carnival or a theme park because bro thats so fun. like who wants to meet on some city sidewalks? PSSH NOT ME. lets just make y/n's life a bit more c o l o r f u l💖.

now, going onto your plot, i thought of that too- yknow like they based a character off of you. man youre so mind reading. or i am. who knows. now lets come up with some what ifs here. some theories.

what if.... y/n did go out in the public a lot? would the genshin characters run into them more often,  get their phone number or smth? meet up with them at a cafe daily?

what if.... they met them before they played genshin impact? and then realize theres a character based solely on them? hm?

what if.... y/n owned like.. a cafe or a coffee shop. cafe/coffee shop au. would the characters come visit them daily like the first one, order everything on the menu?(cough- chIlDe-) or would they be more polite? how? yes. or would they stalk them because maybe they live there. what? no. i dont really like coffee shops and cafes idk what you're talking about.

also i freaking admire you fjsj and may or may not have forgotten- to click anon- because i am feeling for confident-

i mean, were all simps anyways-

❤do keep up the great work though :) i really love your writing style.

Sorry I couldn't talk much about this because I struggle thinking about ideas that I can't come up with a proper or logical background or story that would make it happen ahahaha (that black hole trivia is really amazing tho) but omg *clutches heart* Did you know someone's making fanarts for Kairos AU (Modern) GI characters rn akdbslsnslsn

In all honesty, the whole thing of both simpers meeting would be a MESS, like you'll all just be a mess of screams and confusion because wtf I'm in a game? And that's gonna be CONSISTENT to all of them, which all ends up with you playing each other's games.

When I meant public uhh probably like for promotional material, or the reader would be more active in showing their face in social media after Mihoyo urged them/assured them that hey it's fine, you're the original with copyright rights to your own face: so besides each other, many more fans would be obsessed in trying to get to know/you. And it's all gonna be weird at first as they all still struggle to grasp with the fact that hey, this person is actually 3D???

That's a lot of what ifs sodbsos ahahha so I think this time, I'd leave the imagines to the readers who sees this. Thank you for sharing your thoughts sweetie akdbsoms I'm so glad you finally showed your beautiful, creative self! Stay with us :))

Ahhh thank you again!!

Sbi&co: D&D AU: The Hunt

Hello everyone! I’m a tad bit late but I do hope the extra wait was worth it ahahha

And I hope you’ll enjoy it! Let me know if you do, and as always thank you for reading! <3

"Alright boys, can everyone hear me?" 

Tubbo's voice sounds crystal clear through the arcane earrings they have been given, but Quackity's nose still scrunches up: it's so weird to see his mouth moving in front of him and hear his voice come from a completely different direction. 

Thankfully - or maybe not - they won't be seeing each other much during this game. Another good thing is how he won't have to do much running either, if everything goes well; he still feels very much sore after last week's obstacle course, so he absolutely does not mind staying back and coordinating everyone. That and, if anyone was in need of help, he could swoop in and save the day - always a win in his book.

Quackity gives a sharp nod with his head towards Tubbo, who smiles enthusiastically before turning back towards Fundy to resume talking about how they'll manage to replicate the enchantment for themselves. A part of him wants to get in on the fun, fantasize about how quests will be so much easier with the ability to communicate remotely. He can already imagine a grand infiltration mission that that would require elegant gowns and fancy clothes, concealed weapons and arcane tricks hidden up their sleeves, all with the objective of recovering an artifact of vital importance- 

But he stops and shakes his head, as if it could get rid of those silly dreams. For once, it's not like he can really … stay; and also, he has much more important things to do.

Niki is in the process of stretching when a young looking wizard skips towards them with a blinding smile to let them know that they'll be opening the gates in less than five minutes. He figures that maybe he should have been warming up too, but his favourite pastime has always been people watching - which is extremely nostalgic for him and probably slightly weird from an outside perspective. Before he can lose himself again in his own mind - nerves will do that to him, he’s been noticing - a hand appears in front of his face and he grabs onto it on instinct. The fact that he’s hoisted upright quickly and efficiently clues him onto who it was, and he smiles gratefully at Niki. 

She looks up at him, reciprocating the smile except for the slight furrow in her brows - a silent question, her wondering of why he’s been spacing out, but it’s not that bad after all, he can definitely handle it; he waves off her worries, gesturing with his head towards the bright gallery that will lead them towards the arena as he chuckles to himself. 

“Is it time? I must have spaced out for more than I expected!” He half-jokes, willing to share his worry only partially, and realises he’s probably said too much when the crease in Niki’s forehead only deepens.

“Are you feeling well, Quackity? Is your shoulder still hurting?” The bard is - painfully - reminded that he is talking with a literal angel as her hand reaches forwards, palm already glowing slightly golden with what he’s come to learn is the sign of her healing divine magic, and he takes a step back, hands raised to stop her.

“I’m all good, no problem at all! I just got- distracted for a moment. Needed to clear my mind and all that ... It won’t happen during the hunt!” He adds hurriedly, suddenly realising that spacing out isn’t a really good sign when you’re supposed to be in charge of coordinating the whole team, but still, he knows what he has to do and he’s not going to lose himself in his own mind while they’re working - he wouldn’t still be alive in his line of work if that was the case! 

But there’s a hand placed on his shoulder and Niki is smiling at him again, which has, for better or for worse, always been able to calm his nerves down. It’s not even like he’s know these people for a long time, and yet he knows that if he could, he’d stick around for the rest of his days, probably. If they wanted him to. 

“It’s alright, I understand. I know we’re in good hands, we’ve been training for this.” Niki comments, sounding so sure of her words that he feels like he agrees with that too, to hell with his own self doubt. 

“Of course! We know we’re in safe hands, big guy!” Tubbo adds, startling as he once again appears to reside inside his head, and Quackity is suddenly hoping that he didn’t accidentally broadcast their conversation to the rest of their team. 

Before he can add anything else - or ask very subtly if either heard them talking - an arm is suddenly slung over his shoulders, the smell of ink and sulfur worming its way into his nose as Fundy leans on him and starts leading him towards the tunnel. 

“Come on, enough with the training and the moping, we have amulets and gold to collect!” The conman exclaims, receiving a raised eyebrow from Quackity himself as the bard resigns to becoming a temporary armrest - he’s learnt that that is simply what Fundy does, be it in his fox form or his human form, he’s always on his or somebody else’s shoulders. It’d be sweet if it wasn’t for the indirect reminder of his height, or lack thereof. 

“Oh, and you would know all about collecting gold, uh?” Quackity quips back as Niki and Tubbo both fall into step with them, Tubbo’s mechanical bee buzzing right behind. 

“It was one time!” The shifter laments, prompting the rest of the group to burst out laughing, Niki’s voice raising over the others’ to protest:

“It wasn’t just one!” 

Then, the roar of the crowd fills their ears, and they step into the arena.

It doesn’t take Fundy much to reach the first portal.

The arena has been suited for the occasion, since what used to be a huge but empty field of sand is now a thick, jungle-like forest, with vines that droop from a ceiling of leaves and brightly coloured plants that snap their petals at him when he runs by. 

It didn’t take him long to get used to digging his way through the foliage, his shifter blood surely aiding him in the process, but he still tries not to move too fast - he will need to get back to the main clearing multiple times, to bring back the amulets that will give them more time to explore. 

One of his hands lightly grazes a leaf, leaving behind a smear of orange - he has Quackity to thank for procuring them the thick paints they coated their hands with before starting, so that their paths will be marked; easy to follow for both them and the bard himself, if any of them would ever need assistance. 

He’s been running for only a handful of seconds when the light blue glow of a portal catches his eye: he smacks his hands to the side of the tree that marks his change in direction, leaving behind a much thicker mark, and jumps into the portal.

“Light blue portal, I’m in … catacombs, I think.” He says, focusing on his newly acquired magical earring in order to broadcast the information to the rest of his team. A series of loud whoops answer him, bringing a satisfied grin to his face, and he slows down for a moment, trying to listen for anything happening further down the chambers he’s found himself in, eyes scanning the ground for any hidden traps. 

The coast seems to be clear - there’s a faint whispering coming from the portal behind him, the familiar gentle hum of conjuration magic, but he’s fairly certain that he’s the only living thing in there. 

Which in hindsight was exactly the point, he realises a moment later as he enters a dimly lit room, when an arrow sails just a couple of inches past his face - he flinches away from the blow purely by instincts, letting out a high pitched yelp while his hands raise upwards, brain suddenly put on alert and already thinking about what to do. 

The situation isn’t hard to comprehend: there are half a dozen skeletons, armed, slowly inching their way towards him; a handful are standing right in front of the only other existing exit, as if guarding it - probably commanded to do so, since from his own personal experience skeletons are rarely smart enough to “stand guard”. 

He is almost certain that there are no other paths he could have taken, so his only way is forward, hopefully towards something valuable. Of course that is, if he manages to get through. 

The first thing Fundy realises is that there are a bit too many enemies to comfortably take on. For a moment he truly considers simply dropping a fireball straight into the middle of the room - quick, easy, efficient - but a part of him knows that it would be a bit of a waste of energies for so little enemies, and he does expect to meet plenty more enemies very soon. Despite the fact that time is of the essence, he can’t help but remember how bets in favour of Wilbur’s team had skyrocketed after their stellar performance in the arena a handful of weeks prior. And well, a conman has to know how to put on a show, doesn’t he?

“Hello gentlemen! Would you be so kind to form an orderly cue in front of me?” He’s quick to step to the side, away from another incoming arrow from one of the two skeletons posted in front of his objective, but thankfully the rest of the skeletons are quick to follow his request as they stumble forward, moving towards him and brandishing their swords. 

One of them, apparently more eager than the others, launches themselves at him, their shortsword raised high and coming down in a swift swoop that crashes against a - hastily created - light purple magical barrier. Fundy tsks at the skeleton, shaking his head disapprovingly behind the hand he had to raise to form the arcane shield. With a quick look he assures himself of the optimal placement of his enemies, then he brings his hands together in front of him, rubbing his palms together quickly as if smearing something on them; an instant later he snaps the thumb and index finger of his right hand together, close to the wrist of his left hand: flames burst from his hands, catching fire as if he’d clicked together a flint and steel over warm coal, and he brings his wrists together, directing the stream of arcane fire towards the four skeletons still stumbling towards him.

With a flash of warm light and a chilling screech, the skeletons catch fire and burn, the necromantic binds keeping them whole snapping and breaking, charred bones falling to the ground in sad heaps.

The two skeletons still standing by the exit door let out a pitiful whine, arms clanking together as they nock their arrows - one falls to the ground a couple of feet ahead of him, the skeleton that shot it starting to look as frantic as an expressionless undead can, while the other manages to catch him off-guard and pierces his left shoulder, tearing a pained yelp and a curse from him. 

And well, with most of his enemies gone, he can now get his hands a bit dirtier, metaphorically speaking, as he unsheathes the rapier Niki had gifted to him more than five years before, keeping his unoccupied and still somewhat smouldering hand close to the blade. As his thumb runs over the cold metal, it catches fire, green flames licking at the hilt as he runs forward, impaling one of the two skeletons: flames burst from the blade, almost completely enveloping his enemy, the old and dry bones quickly catching fire as if they were matches. When he flicks his wrist, turning the blade on itself, there’s another burst of flames coming from the hilt itself as a bolt of emerald green fire flies towards the other skeleton, hitting their side. 

The only remaining skeleton raises their bow, trying to aim at him, but Fundy simply steps forward, into their personal space, hearing the arrow being let loose behind him and flying into a stone wall. 

He grins, knowing his fangs poking their way over his lips make him look more menacing, and sheaths his sword into the skeleton’s chest, cutting away the arcane ties keeping them from dying, fire burning around them both - he releases the excess arcane energy with another bolt of green fire that burns a circular charred mark into the wall to his left.

For a moment, it’s all silent around him as he takes a small relieved breath, ever so thankful of Niki’s insistence of getting him to train with his sword. 

Then, Tubbo’s voice rings in his hears, calling out a new portal he’d just found - a locked one, tinted red. 

Fundy gives a vocal confirmation of having received the message, then puts away his sword - flames dissipating on their own - and quickly makes his way towards the still closed door.

Plenty of things to do, enemies to kill, amulets to find. 

He can take a break when their time in the labyrinth runs out.

My first (and very poor) attempt at animation ish

I just listened to this vivaldi recomp by Max Richter and i couldnt help imagine Ladybug and Chat running up the Eiffel Tower at night soooo here we are! It was fun to make ahaha (literally its so bad cry)

Imagine.

The night is warm and soft and full of the feeling of a happy summer evening. The air is filled with the scents of food, of flowers, of happiness and smiles. Parisians stroll the streets, enjoying the summer warmth, the twinkling lights, the love and laughter in the air.

Chat and Ladybug are running,running through the night air, feeling it whip through their hair, past their masks. They are running, like a game of chase, to no where in particular. Theyre running towards the Eiffel tower, Towards the sky, towards each other. They see the beautiful lights of the sky, the city, their eyes and follow them, up, up, up like the music. Following the feeling in their hearts, of excitement adn hope and love and freedom. They gaze at each other, scrambling to the top, to see the sky, to feel the world around them together.

(i cannot write ahahha)

Get ready for some excerpts

For Viner, the development of men’s rhythmic gymnastics is likely the way to save RG as an Olympic sport. The IOC is trying to achieve gender parity at the Games and they are unlikely to allow a sport that is available to only one gender to be a part of the Games for much longer.

“Because people have a very interesting flow of associations, they immediately imagine men in leotards doing women’s elements. That is also being done – by the Spanish school. They even wrote to me: “You know, it’s us who’s doing rhythmic gymnastics, while you’re doing something else”. I think that from the physiological point of view, men can’t compete against women. It would be like watching a boxing match between a man and a woman – you know who’s going to win, right? Girls are more flexible but men are stronger and have more endurance. They can’t compete against each other and judging of that can’t be objective. But there is another school [of men’s rhythmic gymnastics] – the Japanese one. That’s where men’s rhythmic gymnastics originated.”

“But the Spanish just copied what the girls had. I won’t say anything that’s not politically correct about this but after the Spanish [started their sport], the attitudes towards rhythmic gymnastics became polarized. Some are saying “actually, that’s really cool that boys are doing the same thing as girls and look like girls”. And some say the opposite: “Ew, it’s gross”. So, there it is. Even in our country, many did not understand that we’re supporting the Japanese initiative because it’s the one that reflects characteristics of men’s physiology – strength, endurance, coordination, and power.”

“How can I say something [about the Spanish]? What they do is difficult. But if we’re judging objectively, their version of rhythmic gymnastics goes against the physical capabilities of boys and men. It’s as if an elephant felt he was a sparrow; this can also seem not politically correct. But they’re forcing themselves to do things that are natural for female bodies. Perhaps, it’s sexism and someone will accuse me of it but I think that in every sport – and you can even see it in the Olympic rules – men should not compete with women.”

“First, it’s the Russian culture – here, people just won’t accept it. Second, it’s wrong in terms of the physiology, a guy should grow strong according to his nature and the Spanish version of rhythmic gymnastics won’t allow it.”

*DEEP BREATH* Where to even begin...

"iF mEn dO fLeXiBiLiTy ThEy gO aGaiNsT tHeiR nAtUrE" yeah, like women are just ~naturally~ meant to bend their spines so that their head touches their butt. Just admit you're a misogynist that can't do a penché pivot or a split leap with back bend dude

It’s so infuriating that they're using japanese men’s “RG” as a cover for "oh yes we’re adding men to RG ;)" except it's not actual RG ;) have fun tumbling with rope ;) no pirouettes for you boys ;)

I don’t mind what the japanese are doing on its own it's such a hybrid discipline and if it becomes The Official Men's RG, the spanish men etc. are gonna end up even more niche and unknown and it's going to be yet another barrier against boys that would want to do actual pure RG :(

It must be so upsetting for russian boys i sometimes see on instagram explore doing all sorts of apparatus work and even some flexibility elements. If they could have access to the coaches, choreographers, they’d be rivaling the spanish in no time since it’s a matter of life and death for russia to win 

Even if they're against men doing the exact elements the women do, the ballet point should be an idea worth pressing forward, keep the women's apparatuses and add jumps like male ballet dancers do to the code, add pairs if you must (I’d actually be interested in a RG pas de deux - i wonder if acro gymnasts would be happy about them doing lifts too though ahahha)

GAH im getting more and more annoyed the more i think, things will be stuck in this dead end of this new discipline that neither this nor that and i fear it will make it even more difficult to change once it’s cemented itself as men’s RG even if it’s! not! what’s! actually! been! called! RG! for! decades!

power-of-a-name replied to your post “Drabble request. Michiru. The mirror lay shattered.”

The dagger in the mirror is genius! I love how it is another way the moon kingdom is hiding its true intentions.

Thank you! A long time agao, when I was sussing out everyone’s “practical weapon” because it makes ore sense for fight choreography and like...practicality, I decided on a dagger for Michiru. From there, it evolved to her mirror coming apart to be a dagger and buckler. I’ve always imagined her fight style to be a little rouge-ish, where you don’t see or hear her until it’s too late.

Oh shit

AHAHHA

This is so amazing, I'm so in love with it.

Thank you!

madegeeky replied to your post “Drabble request. Michiru. The mirror lay shattered.”

Oooo, love this so much. I would love to see more of this. I never thought about Michiru joining the Dark Kingdom but it works so well.

Michiru joining the Dark Kingdom is one of my favorite personal little things. She’d be the one I could see doing it most easily, if the conditions were right. I can see plenty of them LEAVING under the right conditions, but truly turning traitor is something I think only a couple could ever really do. 

proudchangelingmum replied to your post “Drabble request. Michiru. The mirror lay shattered.”

I never knew how much I wanted Michiru, Dark Kingdom General, having to deal with the rock boys. It is now the only thing I want.

I THINK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME. I actually think she and Kunzite would get along just fine, both being clever and cruel at their worst moments, and if Michiru was bent toward revenge I think she would see him as an excellent ally in such. I think she and Zoisite would clash because they’re both sharp-tongued and have the capacity to be EXCEPTIONALLY petty, but I think it would be entertaining as HELL to watch. 

keyofjetwolf replied to your post “Drabble request. Michiru. The mirror lay shattered.”

MMMMMM. I always love Michiru's turns, and picking up on a dangling discussion thread on Michiru in the Dark Kingdom as well. I also totally forgot (or never thought about) a dagger in the mirror handle, and I am a fool.

I know you and I have discussed TUrncoat Michiru in the past, but it’s always so fun.

Uh warning this is so long omg... I am sorry. I even deleted so much... I can just talk about the vibes of seventeen songs all day lol

Lol your favorite songs are my sisters favorite songs.... good taste! The piano and guitar in DLIS.... I love it. The vocals in that song are just amazing. I Don't Know has a fun guitar (bass maybe too?) beat in it as well.... I love woozi and seungkwan in that song. Plus it has my boy jun.... Going Seventeen is a great album.....

You Make My Day.... is my favorite album. Love a good summer album... But Pinwheel is my favorite song. I love it, I love how simple it is but how it is able to convey the feeling of like the longing but hopeful steady march...searching. The steady beat that goes through most of the song with the marching beat right behind it that goes in and out... plus the climbing?? piano melody. And then you get the strings.... and like the vocals fit so nicely in the song too. I can and have listened to this song for hours on end. Over time the very simple but effective percussion has become my favorite part of pinwheel though lol. Its just how clearly it portrays a story/emotions to me that makes it my favorite song... like how Outro by LUCY is my favorite song by them even though it has literally zero words. You just listen to it and are like... I... am on an adventure right now, I am on a quest, there is literally nothing else I could be doing. The two songs have similar but distinctly different vibes... anyways. Seventeen (and by that I mean Woozi mostly lol) is very good at putting emotions into their songs but to me with Pinwheel it was done very well. Heaven's Cloud is a good one too I think for the mood it sets... the sense of impending doom that vaguely hovers around the song in the later half thanks to the weird synth sounds that come in... I like it a lot. Idk what they are supposed to be but ever since I noticed them I have been obsessed with them... they're kinda creepy sounding. Plus the contrast between the dadada beat vs the flowing sections where it cuts out completely so its kinda floaty... its nice. A very lightweight and floaty feeling song that still has the very mild background stress of what if it all falls down one day?

On that note... what is your favorite song(s) off Your Choice? Mine are Heaven's Cloud (obviously lol) and GAM3 BO1.

(also I used to just type up an ask in word and then count the characters to figure out how many asks total I was sending and then number them like 1/3 then copy paste lmao also only long asks on mobile :( had to type this up on my laptop then send it to my phone to copy into the ask so I didn't have to send multiple)

Omg I love how you talk about music!!! Yes Pinwheel is an absolute MASTERPIECE and YMMD a great album and era, arguably one of the greatest eras of seventeen, you have great taste 👌👌 (just like all carats eheheh we can’t go wrong)

I totally get what you mean with Outro... I have many songs saved that are just instrumental, they hit you right at your core and make you wonder away!! Is just you, the emotions the song brings in you and your imagination to do with it as you will

My favorites of Your Choice are SDSMSN (I won’t type it all hahaha is a huge name), but no ones surprised I went with the vocal unit’s song again 😅 Also Wave, Anyone and Heaven’s Cloud... Wave already won me over during the highlight medley, performance unit is not here to play ahahha

And omg hahah I could ask why to go with all the trouble but know I would do the same thing hahaha AND THEN WHEN YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST TYPE AWAY TUMBLR DOES YOU DIRTY LIKE THAT I swear I’ll never understand why this site works so differently on desktop and mobile 🙄
