. . . Fairly close. You don't have camera access, do you? If you do, I'll be disabling those as well.

Bzzt.

I love TIAFFC because it gives me the chance to explore the Jon + Melanie friendship never possible in canon

[dropitdoeeyes]

Buff Lyf, btw. You agree.

[ID: Two drawings of Lyfrassir Edda. In the first drawing, they’re shown from the thighs up. They have a confused and dead-eyes expression on their face, they’re frowning slightly. One of their hands is raised to their chest, a finger pointing away from them. They’re resting on their cane. In the second drawing, Lyf is startled and jumps back, arms raised, ears pivoted back like a scared cat. An orange tabby octokitten is at their feet.

In both drawings, Lyf is wearing a striped black button down shirt, and a black dress. End ID.]

“Inspector Lyf! I’m so glad i’ve found you!”

“I’ve come to rescue you!”

@mechtober-2024 day 14! I wanted a Lyfrassir Lives AU cos that one’s popular among fics and also i rlly like lyf!

so, Alternate Universe where Marius goes back into the Bifröst to save Inspector Edda!

[twasforresearch]

smile for the camera flash, blinding you see it all, all of creation it stretches out just like a beautiful ballgown a tuxedo perfectly tailored to every inch of you

lyf and marius dancing, very much inspired by @rainbowstargazerlilies ' fic series the stars claim them. alternate backgrounds and random trivia about the details under the cut!

okay TRIVIA!! -the backgrounds are all images taken by the james webb telescope -their outfits were also inspired by the images!! i colorpicked some of lyf's from the carina nebula, and marius' dress (which i kind of want irl) is partially based on the southern ring nebula -halfway through doing shading i took a break to lie down on the couch because have you ever seen a man so beautiful you started crying? that's marius -lyf's suit is in fact a tuxedo

[dangermousie]

Just a little PSA since I know it's a heated topic:

I am in the minority of loving all three MLs of Lost You Forever to bits. (Occasionally I want to smack Cang Xuan but as a character he's so complex and so splendidly acted, he's probably my favorite and I do feel deep love and pity for him even if alternating with rage.) I think they all act well and are good looking and have interesting narratives.

I am very happy she loves Jing, I die for the angsty what-if between her and Xiang Liu (someone give me the OT3 of my dreams!) and while I don't ship her with Cang Xuan, I love the charge of their scenes.

Ultimately, I think Yang Zi is doing an amazing job (best she's done since Changsha), and as goes Xiao Yao so does my nation.

I genuinely don't care if someone hates one/two/all of these dudes (or anyone else in this) - everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just a PSA that if someone liking everyone in this and multishipping as the narrative permits is annoying, probably best not to follow my posts on the LYF tag because they will contain a lot of gushing over any of these three dudes/ships as narrative/scenes permit.

[takemyhand-justice]

Why is it so easy for them to jump ship and just.... Start shipping a random dude with Buck? I don't get it at all. I hate this fandom. And don't even talk about what's happening on ao3

I’m going to be honest and agree with some of what you said. I enjoyed BuckTommy to the extent where I think it’s harmless fun, the Tommy actor seems like a hoot, and got excited by the visible, explicit queerness on screen. I also don’t begrudge people liking a ship different to mine - what’s confused me is the attitude of either complete despair from buddie shippers or alternatively ‘buddies dead get over it’ like it hasn’t been 5 and a half minutes of a hundred episodes of show haha.

I’m honestly a little biased from disliking Tommy in the flashback episodes - he’s a big bag of fine but he’s not exactly charisma manifest. It doesn’t bother me at all though - I’ll reblog a BuckTommy gif like the best of them but I’m just confused by some of the discourse.

Eddie has been a pretty inconsistently written character over the years but the one through point has been his deep connection and chemistry with Buck. This is the only person he trusts to keep his child alive, who he has in his will, who he opens his home to and clearly has a deep genuine love for. The idea that this is now secondary and he’s just going to be a chill ally, when he clearly has a lot of issues in his relationships with women (way more than Buck really), is absolutely bonkers (I’m a gay Eddie truther aha).

So yeah I just find it wild that some people have given up buddie, am not bothered by BuckTommy (it’s fun - bi Buck 4 lyf), and am excited to see where it all goes

[gaiusgoose]

Y’all ever think about the Bifrost incident?

How some of the final thoughts swirling in Loki’s brain are of Baldur’s death (sunlight and it’s merry song) and her regret of it?

How she, an asgardian, feel in love and married a midguarduan? The romance that is implied here?!?

How Thor, for all his flaws, is a man who sees what is in front of him? He’s not like Odin, a distant architect guiding her people from afar, he’s an engineer working directly with his hands, caring for his people and never got the chance to take over and perhaps eventually lead to change? (Source: extrapolation from how he seems to be set as a contrast to Odin)

How Tyr’s lost hand implies that the Fenrir gambit from the myths could’ve happened? Meaning Tyr could’ve been somewhat of a double agent, friend of Fenrir, until a final betrayal?

And of course poor Lyf. A little alternate universe Jon, isn’t he. He has all the warning signs by red signal, he’s seen the terror by The Calling, and he knows it’s coming by Jormungandr. He doesn’t need to keep watching, he doesn’t need to make the report. He knows nobody will hear it, it won’t make a difference. But he needs to know, to fully understand, to record this information. he won’t be another mystery.

[mechsconfessions]

personally i think a good alternative to 'lyf joins the mechs' is 'the udad olympians join the mechs' because you know there would be so many opportunities for conflict and like, the immortalitys already there!!

The Mechs would throw them out after about one planet

I do hope, dear voice in the wall, that you know that this means war.

There we go, last cable.

Goodbye, then.

The alternate Terminus aftermath I wrote based on Annihilation is not letting me rest, so I pulled out digital art for the first time in 6 months. Here is a Bifrosted Lyf: houseplant edition.

Flowers and fungi grow out of their skin in response to emotions or general well-being. Raphaella is pretty sure their DNA doesn't exist anymore and is instead an amorphous rainbow soup of anything and everything. They can mutate organic and sometimes even inorganic matter at will, although that usually means fungi and plants growing out of that matter. They could probably shapeshift, they don't really know how to though.

They glow in the dark too.

Just a general concept for now, will definitely develop it further. Not touching digital art for a while again though.

i am asking you about mechs birds ! if you want a specific mech then I'm asking about Drumbot Brian. But I'd love ve to hear about all of them if you want to

(On the verge of tears, covered in blood, out of breath, and surrounded by boards of red string and thumbtacks) I am SO glad you asked

Jonny: A shrike. Small, violent little critters. OR a chicken, because the cannibalism thing. (I also just think it’s really funny.)

Ashes: Whistling kite! They (along with a few other species) take burning sticks from forest fires and spread it to flush out prey. Arsonist bird, just like Ashes!

Drumbot Brian: Canada goose, since they travel long distances (like a pilot might!) this is also one of the birds that just Is Them. Just look at him. Look me in the eyes and tell me that man isn’t a goose. Soft, round, they look good to hold but they’re simultaneously full of violence.. silly goose Brian….

Raphaella: Wandering albatross. Yet another one who really truly just is. Look at that bird. It's her.

Marius: Common kingfisher! He's the one who originally sparked this idea, after we saw a picture of one and immediately got slammed by the idea of anthro bird mechs. The colors. Just look. That bird is Him.

Ivy: Rock ptarmigan, pigeon, or a mourning dove. She's just a soft round bird like Brian. They all have fitting coloration in a way, too.

Toy Soldier: European nightjar. The freaks my one true love. Nightjars look so fake., like they’re one of those puppet animal plushies you put your hand in to move the mouth.

Tim: Steller's jay. He inexplicably reminds me of one, similar mannerisms and everything. Tim is really truly such a corvid, also considered a blue jay for him. Deep down in my heart of hearts Gunpowder is a seabird like an osprey or petrel, though I have no reasoning for those ones.

Nastya: Eurasian magpie. Shiny blue smart bird. Looks mildly disappointed in you. Love u nastya

In other words, Lyf in Pokemon real not fake????

@voidhaseyes

A alternate path to your commission.

Jonny hopped onto the first ship he could hack open. It wasn't anything amazing, but it was a vessel for long-term space travel, which is what he needed. It kind of reminded him of the ship Marius stole escaping New Asguard. It didn't matter he just needed to find the control room and go from there.

"Who are you?" A voice Jonny didn't recognize started him as he reached the captains chair. "Whoa, hey, I ain't gonna attack."

Jonny studied the person in front of him. They didn't look like any species he was familiar with. They were tall and lanky with blue skin. Their ears were pointed and long, and their long hair was tied back in a braid. Their eyes were like rainbow static. Black nails, and they looked to have hooves... no, that wasn't right. Feet hooves? Whatever they were, it was weird. They had a long tail that was covered in feathery hairs. He opens his mouth to speak, but a soft rasp escapes his lips.

The person steps back, obviously also studying him. "You can't talk."

Jonny nods he taps out in Morse code. "I am Jonny..... I've been curse..... I will leave...."

The person's eyes widen. "No! I mean no, you can stay. I'm kind of cursed, too. I'm guessing the plants aren't normal."

Jonny nods again.

"I'm Lyfrassir Edda, but you can call me Lyf. I was about to leave this planet, just loaded up on supplies and such. Do you want to come with me?" Lyf smiles, watching Jonny nod. "Great I uh, there's a spare room and stuff. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one cursed by a god."

Jonny gave a skeptical brow raise. He didn't know what to make of Lyf or if he was even the same from what Marius told him about. His voice was deep like his.... was. It didn't matter he was on his way away from them to longer be a burden.

........

It's been approximately a month since Jonny joined him. He was quiet, obviously. He couldn't talk because of the plants, and he didn't envy him or that. Lyf looked over to Jonny, who was writing quietly in a notebook. "Hey, uh... are you doing ok?"

Jonny tilts his head clearly, not used to being asked that. He shrugs and taps out a message. "I think I'm fine...." He adjusts his goggles.

"You think?" Lyf frowns. "I uh yeah, that seems to be the case with me. I'm still trying to come to terms with what happened."

Jonny shuts his book and stares at Lyf. He taps out another message. "Go ahead. I'll listen."

"I doubt you'll believe me." Lyf sighs. "My galaxy was eaten by a god. I'm the sole survivor, and apparently, the god likes me enough to curse me with powers and the inability to age or die." He frowns, leaning back in his chair. "There's this guy, Marius. He claims he's a part of a space pirate group that sings about tragedies. He seemingly has an infinite amount of violins he can just pull out of nowhere."

Jonny raised a brow. "Do you hate him or want to fuck him?" He taps out on his notebook.

Lyf lights up with a dark blue blush. "The man is an idiot and a self-proclaimed doctor. He made my life hel back on New Asguard, but... but he wasn't mean." He sighs and rubs his face. "I don't know how I feel. We met up after everything, and he even helped me control these powers. I just ran away like a coward and took my ship with me, leaving him stranded after everything he did for me. The mechanism is what he called the group, and I try to avoid any of that. I can't.... I shouldn't be with someone like him, I'll just hurt him. I even scarred his mechanical arm! He claims it was supposed to fix itself, but it didn't."

Jonny furrowed his brows. He does remember when they picked Marius up, his mechanism had claw marks that seemed to blend into the very metal, and even if it was working fine, they wouldn't ever buff out or vanish. He never talked about it. He was protective over it. They stuck even after DTTM.

"I know it's stupid." Lyf sighs. "I think I fell in love with him. He probably moved on from me, yaknow eternity is a long time, and he's immortal, and I suppose I am too, but why would he want to spend eternity with me. I'll just end up hurting him." He hugged his chest and looked up. Jonny had gotten up to touch his shoulder. "You're right. I shouldn't linger on that. It's been a little over a thousand years that he has obviously forgotten about me."

Jonny wanted to tell him the truth. Marius hasn't. Hell, the man hasn't even tried to go out with anyone else. Raphaella and Ivy have kept prodding him, and he shuts them down. He shakes his head instead.

Lyf smiles sadly. "I suppose I can't assume unless I talk to him. I would rather not."

Jonny pushed his notebook into Lyf's hands. A story always helps him, so why not him. He taps out. "Read a story."

"A story?" Lyf opens the book and stops. "I don't know what language this is."

Jonny paused and forgot he was writing in New Texan. "It's New Texan. That's where I am from."

"Could you... could you teach me?" Lyf smiles softly.

Jonny lights up and nods.

......

"Can you write something with a happy ending?" Lyf was sprawled out on a couch. Jonny nicked off their most recent stop.

Jonny signs. "Life doesn't have happy endings." He rolls his eyes munching on a fruit he grew. It was a new development that the flowers had started to become fruits, and he wasn't complaining. He was slowly learning how to control the plants as well. He still couldn't speak those seemingly will never come undone. "Should I bring up you and Marius? Or just me and Tim."

Lyf rolls his eyes right back. "Ok, first off, Marius was my fault. I realize I love him way too late, and he's moved on. Secondly, Tim is your fault. You never talked to him and told him the truth. Well, not talked, but you get what I mean. Besides, I met you, and I have a brother now, so isn't that a happy end?"

Jonny purposely looks away with a soft blush on his face. He did consider Lyf a brother he never had. He took a breath and started to sign again. "Have I told you about my mother?"

"I suppose not, but you have told me about your father and Jack. Right pricks, the both of them." Lyf sits up. "Alright, fine, tell me. I always like hearing about your planet, and I swear we'll find it one day."

Jonny silently laughs.

......

Lyf barely got a look at the poster before Jonny ripped it down. A low growl erupted from his chest, and his tail was lashing back and forth. He looked over where another poster was hanging.

"Mechanisms! Looking for our Captain. Interim lead Doctor Marius Von Raum."

Jonny lit the crumpled poster on fire. Tears pricked his eyes. He silently gasps as Lyf pulls him into a hug.

"You were one of them?" Lyf can feel Jonny shake, and that was his answer. "I know it's ok you have me and I won't replace you."

Jonny clings tighter, crying.

"Come on, I think we need to find your home planet." Lyf sighs. "Forget these assholes"

.......

Lyf knew something was off with Jonny. It all started with that poster. He wasn't really upset that he was keeping the mech secret he was more worried about Jonny and how he seemed to shut down. He doesn't really recall Marius talking about any of the other members, so he didn't know where Jonny fit in or what the dynamic was. However whatever it was they replaced him and he was taking it hard.

Jonny was curled up in his bed with his back to his door and didn't make any move to show he heard Lyf come in.

Lyf steps over the vines that have spread across Jonny's room like a cancer. He seemed so small in this moment, and it broke his heart. "Jonny?"

Jonny gives a low growl.

"Jonny, I'm sorry." Lyf takes a breath. "I just want to talk."

Jonny curls tighter into himself.

"I know the others are fucking awful. I mean, they replaced you, and that isn't fair. I don't know how long you've known them, but you don't need them. I'll be here whether you want me or not. I'm your brother, and I'll be by your side." Lyf stands in front of Jonny's bed. "Look, I don't know if I'm able to give up on Marius, but I'll chew him out for you. I just want you to feel better."

Jonny rolls over with a silent huff. He stares up at Lyf with tears in his eyes. He holds his hands out, which, when Lyf grabs, he is trapped in a hug.

Lyf smiles softly. "I'm also mad at you about the shower thing."

Jonny buries his face in Lyf's chest, shaking with a silent laugh.

"I mean fuck Jonny you're from the desert don't you have common sense." Lyf scoffs feeling Jonny shake from more laughter. "I'm not taking care of your ass the next time you make yourself sick, use the fucking sand."

The room is quiet for a long time before the sound of tapping is heard. Jonny tapped out a message. "You can still ask Marius out. He's an idiot but good-hearted. This wasn't his idea, and he wouldn't be the lead by choice."

"Don't lie to me, D'ville." Lyf huffs.

"I'm not prick. I ain't gonna let ya back out, coward." Jonny silently huffs as he aggressively taps.

"Fuck you." Lyf pushes Jonny away.

Jonny silently laughs. "Suck my dick."

"You know what I'm done. Go back to being a sad asshole." Lyf hops off Jonny's bed.

Jonny smiles. "Too late bitch."

Lyf laughs.

.......

Jonny was bouncing on his heels. He was excited that he had never had the chance to do puzzles like this before. Sure, they were rusted, and these were tombs, but he could work on them without judgment. He started to whistle softly as he worked.

Lyf watched Jonny scurry off into the tombs. He followed behind, of course, and he watched in awe as Jonny went around, solving the puzzles whistling away like this was a treat. "Why here?"

Jonny froze as Lyf's voice broke through his happy haze. He rapidly begins to sign. "I ain't doing nothing."

Lyf raised a brow, confused. "It looks like you were just having fun. What did the mechs not allow you to do puzzles?"

Jonny shifted. "No... I just....I ain't good being smart. I'm more useful as a weapon." He seems to be ashamed and hesitates finishing the last puzzle.

"You don't have to be useful." Lyf struggles to make it to the same spot Jonny climbed up to. "You can do whatever you want. There isn't much stopping you."

"I miss singing." Jonny signs with a glare.

"Ok well one thing you fucker." Lyf rolled his eyes. "I'm just saying maybe if the others knew your capabilities, they would be impressed. Finish this up, and then I'm signing you up on the puzzle competition on this shit planet, and we're going to destroy them."

"I've never been in a puzzle competition before." Jonny signs before immediately finishing the puzzle. The ground begins to shake, and the loud hiss of pistons and grinding of metal filled the catacombs.

Lyf was grabbed by Jonny, so he didn't fall into gaping opening where a vast treasure lay shining like a becon. "Huh, so this planet's legends do have truth."

Jonny silently scoffs. He signs with annoyance. "I wanted more puzzles."

Jonny nods and grins, already climbing down.

"How about he take some of this treasure and buy some impossible puzzles and theories." Lyf smiles back at Jonny, who just seemed to recall money can be exchanged for goods.

........

Jonny tilted his head, watching Lyf confused. He didn't understand why he looked so upset. He taps out. "Are you ok?"

"Are you going to leave once we land?" Lyf frowns, looking out at the asteroid planet they were about to land on.

"Leave?" Jonny signs. "I'm taking you with me."

Lyf furrows his brows. "What?"

"You're my brother! Where I go you go." Jonny smiles. "I want to show you New Texas."

"You want me to stay with you?" Lyf can feel his eyes water as Jonny nods. "I.... ok! Time to settle in New Texas for however long you want."

Jonny grins.
