ahhh i absolutely love all your artwork — i’m so happy that there are still people in the nexo knights fandom.

i was wondering though, if you could explain more about your dark heart of knighton au? it’s so cool from what i’ve seen so far! <3

Hi!! Thank you for the kind words! And of course I can! While I did explain the Dark Heart of Knighton au before, most things have changed since the official publication of the chapters. So I wouldn’t mind giving another explanation for the main events/ main premise:

Long ago, before Knighton was ever established as an official kingdom, there was an entity that infected the lands with pure dark magic. Like an Illness, it spread, kingdom to kingdom. It consumed them, shrouded them in darkness and wiped all remaining life within till it was nothing but a lifeless wasteland. This vile entity is known as Kingdom Eater, no one knows its origin of creation, no one knows its true goal. All they knew if it ever comes across your kingdom, there was no saving it. In the end, it will be left in rot and ruin, forgotten by the endless nature we call time. People became tired of this entity's cruel rain, so they advised a plan to finally stop it. They gathered wizards from nearby kingdoms, all gathering in the center of the valley. Using all their strength, they separated the creature's power into several shards. The creature fled, trying to escape the wizards, but it ended up becoming cornered at the edge of the valley. They trapped the entity in a pit, sealing it within, never allowing it to see the light of day again. Inevitably, it was forgotten, the area it lived died with its spirit, it's grave now dead like the kingdoms it took with it.

But unbeknownst to its capturers, the creature still holds a bit of its power. All this time it waits, waiting for the day it can be set free. Every lunar eclipse, its power is at its highest, allowing it to seep through the barrier which holds it. Every night like those ones, it called for help, trying to get anyone stupid enough to listen. And so one did…a distant member of the Richmond dynasty heard its plea, succumbing to its magic. In turn of riches and power, the Richmond sold his bloodline's soul. Ever since then, the creature finally had a voice. It became the Richmond family curse, once hitting a certain age (which usually falls on graduation day), they become one with the creature. With a life full of luxury, they promised to find a new vessel in which will grant the creatures freedom, one who is powerful enough to break the dying barrier. Every Richmond fell to this fate, all except one…Lance Due to use of nexo powers (due to, at least in this au, being a form of light magic) he never fell victim to the curse, rather he became immune. He lived in blissful ignorance of the truth behind his family that he never fell suspicious of his family's misdeeds. Though that all changed after season 4, once it was revealed to the kingdom that Clay was in fact, a wizard. The cult immediately knew that THIS would the person to free Kingdom Eater, fact in the member that is actually close to Clay in some way is…immune, so you know what they did? They poisoned him with a fragment of Kingdom Eaters' power. This made Lance fall into a trance-like state, doing anything that the cult told him to do. Trusting the nature of Clay’s suspicion and wreckless savior complex, he lured him to where the creature was prisoned. There they fought it out, resulting in one of the scars that is in Lance’s eye. In a desperate attempt, Clay used magic to free Lance from the spell his own parents put him in. Though this burst of energy broke the barrier, allowing Kingdom Eater to take possession of Clay. Then Kingdom Eater gave Lance another scar just for the fuck of it before tossing him down the sacrificial hole. That's really the basis of it. I don’t wanna rant too much about it to avoid spoilers. Just know that this would act like a continuation of Nexo Knights in a way, as while Lance would be the main focus, the other characters do have planned arks. All t r u a m a! Any other parts of it would be mostly answered either when I update the chapter on it on a03 (I’ll leave the link below), people asking certain lore questions, or I get the desperate attempt to do a shitpost about it. So yeah! Thanks for being interested in this au!

thinking about trying to do rangeland firefighting for at least one summer while I’m still in my 20s with derangements that make me love toiling like a medieval peasant but in order to do it next summer I would need to undergo a second, less illegal and contentious but some would say more difficult transition with my body. theatre kid to jock

#it would be such a cool experience but as you can imagine you need to meet a fitness requirement so the fires don’t destroy you etc etc #classic fire behavior but anyway you need to be able to walk 3 miles with a 45 pound pack in 45 minutes #it’s a test given by the forest service #however there are also a few other guidelines which are:#-can run 1.5 miles in 10 minutes 30 seconds #-can do 25 push ups #-can do 40 sit-ups #-can do 7 pull ups #easy for anyone who played footed ball in high school but unfortunately I was too busy not lifting things up and putting them down #but now I’m like. perhaps I could also pick heavy things up and put them down

literally figured sorcerer!kristen's freshman year design out the moment I sat down and attempted to brainstorm (rubs hands together fly style) we eatin good today boys

#not art #riz is my specialest boy whom I love dearly everything I do I do it for him but kristen is like instant kinship to me #adhd haver to adhd haver communication. adhd haver to adhd haver comprehension #and ohhh I'll have a Lot of fun with her design esp. freshman year bc shes diametrically opposite to how she looks in canon #which is to say: slightly maximalist #off the top of my head I'm already thinking pippi longstocking influence so mens size 40 shoes and mismatched socks #and matilda a little bit (at least on first day she's trying so hard to figure out business casual) so dress or blouse #and of course she's kristen so cargo shorts #if this sounds deranged to you: yeag #I think the only thing holding me up rn with her is her arcane focus #I am thinking. very hard. I dont think she'd keep the shepherd staff given its connection to the heliolic faith #but I do think it has to be 1/decently big 2/of an eye catching color 3/attached to her pretty much 24/7 #Ive been thru this rodeo before babeyy if its not chained to u it will be Gone in the blink of an eye #. wait. I think I have an idea. it will be fun to harken a Little bit back to ally's other sorcerer character #it would also be like a vibe flashbang. I think we got it. stay tuned

Okay but yin yu needs a raise this yin yu is overworked that. Where is the Ling wen needs a raise content

#Tgcf #Yin yu #ling wen #I do love the idea that yin yu has a great employment plan he's just long suffering and #If he's too busy working than he doesn't need to feel things ever #Obviously hua cheng probably bullied him and definitely made him transcribe his diary bc #“What if his highness wants to read it one day yin yu this is important yin yu”#But he also seems like the person who understands very well that money talks #And that an employee who is comfortable is much less likely to betray you #Meanwhile Ling wen is dealing with some bullshit 24/7 #She's not being paid half the other gods never wrote out reports everyone is sexist she hasn't slept in 3 years #Jun wu calls her into his office twice a day to make her scribe his evil plans (tm)#She's tried she's overworked literally xie lian is the only who's ever said thank you to her ever #Yin yu gets invited to the overworked employees club for drinks (idk who else would be there besides Ling wen but let's imagine that there #Everybody complaining/screaming/wishing for death bc they're so tired #Yin yu: Oh I think there's been a mistake I actually have great benefits #Ling wen considers homicide and defecting right there and then #Idk why I'm trying to push the Ling wen yin yu friends agenda but here we are

they should make a life where you don't have appointments, work, school and scheduled events every single day for months on end

#i just wanna spend like 2 full days rotting in bed is that too much to ask #december i'm going on a vacation with family + gf and we're trying to schedule a lunch/dinner so that we can go over the itinerery #and other stuff like my gf is diabetic so she's going to tell everyone the procedures in case of an emergency etc #and the soonest i'm available for that is oct 20th like bruh #every week day i've got classes 7:30-11:50 work 13:00-17:00 and then gym therapy or futsal practice at night #oh and sometimes the professor that i'm the student assistant (? monitor in pt) for wants me to go to her night classes #and then on weekends i've got futsal practice sat morning usually a match either saturday or sunday legal advice clinic 4x a semester #and then birthdays friend group meetups (with ppl i haven't properly seen in a WHILE so i don't wanna bail) family stuff or gf's family stu #oh and i take care of the finances of our futsal team so there's that as well #and then when i'm free i spend my time with my love (who i mostly see on either day of the weekend and sometimes for dinner on weekdays)#those are my favorite “appointments” i love spending time with her so much but even though we have quite a few staying in dates we also #pretty frequently go out to cafes restaurants parks meet up with mutual friends etc #so like... no bed rotting ever adfdsal #honestly i am not THAT busy compared to some ppl that i know #like i work from home most days of the week commute only 20 min to college am not a part of any study group etc etc #but man... that vyvense sure is working cause i do not think i would be able to do what i do now when my adhd was unmedicated #also i'm thinking of maybe getting a new internship next year cause even though i love my current one it's in public law which atm #is the field i'm thinking of getting into after school but getting into private law in brazil with only public law uni experience is #incredibly difficult. so i wanna be 100% sure i actually want public law. which means experiencing private law.#which means a private law internship #so i'm wondering how the fuck imma be able to pull that off next year #at least it pays much more than my current one! like probably double!#but honestly even with all the shit that i do and wishing i had more time for myself i've actually been so happy lately #i'm learning more at uni than i used to be able to i do pretty well at my internship i've got wonderful friends both old and new #my family is well and we get along like always i switched positions in futsal and am doing suprisingly good as a goalkeeper #and i'm in my first ever relationship. it's been almost 8 months till we made it official and it blows me away how good it's been #like we haven't faught once. disagreed on a couple things sure. but not a single fight and tbh even disagreements are very rare #idk we communicate and give each other grace and i just feel so loved. she knows me so well. i love her so so so so much.#like man just this saturday we were having an early dinner at a bakery. she stopped what she was saying and just stared at me smiling #and like i couldn't hold eye contact. cause she's so so fucking beautiful and she was looking at me with so much love and i had to look awa

skipping class but staying on campus to do work for. another class. bc i said i'd have it done before friday bc i'm scared of telling profs no so now i have to read all of robinson crusoe this weekend and watch the nbc pilot of the crusoe series on top of finishing the 2 late essays bc i deluded myself into believing i have a chance of finishing this annotated bibliography in 2 hours. without half the books i'm citing. tee hee <3

#if anyone knows anything about anything hit me up 🫶🙌☝️#also one of my sources is essentially just synthesizing all of my other sources with So Little original commentary bc it was originally a #dissertation that got published as a book but i need to use it bc it's the only source of its type i could find and my prof has a checklist #-_-#and she said that if i explain why it's so late i can maybe get an extension of my extension but how do i tell her that i'm sick and burnt #out and got locked out of my room for 24 hours and am depressed and haven't been sleeping or eating well and i miss my friends and having a #library to work in and my antidepressants have taken away my ability to have my quarterly sobbing dry heaving breakdown that i rely to give #me the adrenaline boost and catharsis and clarity to actually lock in and force myself to finish big scary assignments #i can probably tell her about the sickness and the room thing but truly i'm just overwhelmed and not coping and that doesn't feel like a #real reason (bc i'm depressed)#i need to knock myself out at like 10:30 tonight so i can wake up at like 7 tomorrow and work somewhere that isn't my house but i have #rehearsal until 10 amd i need to shower before i actually have a freak out that no one finds endearing or relatable #i think the shower might be a big part of the brain fog . who could've seen this coming.........#i meant to shower last night but i was too busy reading 50 shades of grey and mists of avalon (both for class) and i was up until like 5 #god i need to sleep. tomorrow will be better #if you see me on here past like 11:30 please yell at me to go to bed i've lost the ability to stop my self-destructive habits #that was super tmi . sowwy gang #a post

So how was hhn, did you get to go yet? Ive never been and im curious

yes i did, it was a lot of fun! i was supposed to go again last night and i'm mad i didn't bc i heard the crowd levels were low but i was too tired after work unfortunately. i think reviews for this year have been kind of mixed but i enjoyed myself and my friend who i went with who's never been had a good time too. if you're interested you can watch haunted house walk thrus on youtube from past years, i'm sure there's probably footage of scare zones from past years too. if you like halloween and horror movies i'm sure you'd love it; the sets in the houses are always next level and the actors are amazing. plus they also have a good amount of the rides running during the event so imo that's a plus too

#if you end up going i would suggest getting a scream early ticket and showing up at the park at 3 pm #knock out 4-5 houses before 7 pm then do other stuff until 11 pm when the park starts to clear out and the standby lines have short waits #also go on a weeknight if you can. tho tbh saturday this year was abt as busy as sunday last year #so i think this year is just slower in general #last year had a bunch of stacked IP houses like stranger things the last of us exorcist and chucky which i think drew huge crowds

air was telling me about that ultimatum reality dating show thing & that’s crazy. I know it’s probably mostly the aromanticism but I can’t imagine clinging to someone when you’re at the point of making an ultimatum. I’d just leave.

#my ramblings #well I don’t want to fight to be in someone’s life #we’re all busy and of couse I’m gonna try to stay connected to pals #and there are some friends where you don’t talk for a year and then you have a nice convo and part ways again for another year #all chill #but there are. some things that can happen. [resentful]#wait I need to kick her out of something brb #OH MY GOD!!! THAT FEELS GREAT I can’t believe I’ve been waffling on that for like three years #BYE!!!!!#oh I also can delete her contact she probably doesn’t even have the same number #LMAO I ALREADY DID #BYE!!!!!! I KIND OF HATE YOU NOW BYE!!!!! and with that I can release my one-sided resentment and get on with my life #I think it’s also been 3+ years since the other situation as well #there wasn’t any dramatic fallout but honestly? cooked in the oven for a while but now I know: I’m mad as hell #they didn’t do anything wrong I’m just pissed and our ways of navigating relationships is incompatible #almost wish I didn’t block him months ago it would’ve felt great to block him now #wow this is great.#I should get stuck in another one-sided resentment loop so I can block them in 5-7 years and feel this rush again.#lmao

Artist friends, please don't use StickerMule

Full tweet

I've been on the "Fuck Stickermule" train for a few years now after they posted COVID conspiracy bullshit, and it was found out their CEO was a Trump / Anti-LGBTQ+ donor.

Take your business elsewhere. Just because they have good deals occasionally shouldn't mean they should be able to use your money to support shitty recipients.

Some businesses I'd recommend checking out:

StickerGuy -Been using Sticker Guy for like 15 years for my bands stickers over the years. They have some of the best vinyl stickers I've ever used and those things are practically indestructible. Ridiculously good prices too.

RockinMonkey - I've only ever used them for one run of holographic stickers but the quality is so good and I'd definitely go to them again if I were to get more printed.

StickerNinja - Never personally used but I've seen so many people recommend them and their quality shows on their socials. And I'm fairly certain they're BIPOC owned, super pro-LGBTQ+ and are very vocally Pro-Palestine which is a plus in my book!

StickerApp - has been getting a lot of positive feedback in the reblogs! Vograce - I've read some good things about them in the reblogs, and I've also seen some people on Tiktok showing off acrylic keychains they've made with their services!

EDIT [7/18/2024]:

Found this cool document full of information on other sticker / merch printers with a ton of comparisons and examples compiled by Theresa Chiechi! They also have a series of Tiktok videos linked on that page showing the different businesses they've tried. Be sure to check it out if you want a comprehensive look into your best options.

Please feel free to leave any other suggestions!

Tonight was fucking weird.

#like its fine nothing bad happened #but it took me my whole 6hr shift to do prep since they changed the way theyre wanting it done #which is like. also fine because im not going to complain about getting to spend my whole shift in the kitchen with tunes #but like theyre also expecting and calculating prep to take only 2hrs #which just. isnt realistic to the standard which theyre also expecting it done by #especially since now i have to prep before dinner service but also have enough for the morning breakfast service #and its all just. idk its fucking weird.#and honestly the only super annoying part about them (they in this context being the company i work for rn) expecting prep to be done #so quickly is that theyre not accounting for the fact i have to clean up after the morning and afternoon bakers before i even start #even when i was starting prep at 5 #either way it wouldnt bother me so much to take so long to do prep if they werent expecting it done in a third of the amount of time #that im getting it done like yes i can probably get faster if they pick a lane #but there is still no realistic way that anything is getting done well in two hours and two hours only #especially not when the kitchen is left a fucking disaster every night #but it genuinely does not bother me to have to clean up after morning and afternoon shift #i just wish theyd be more realistic with their times and expectations as a whole #like the morning shift has absolutely no idea how busy it gets in the evenings even if theyre communicating between managers #they probably arent taking it seriously because no morning shift anywhere has ever taken their evening and night staff seriously #and its something that plagues every workplace everywhere where unless youve experienced the other shify #** shift #youre straight up not going to know #which wouldnt be a bad thing if communications were accepted as truth instead of blowing them off as exaggerated because #'how busy could they really be at night at a coffee shop?'#when the coffee shop in question has a lunch and dinner menu thats available 24/7

Lord give me energy today eueueue

#dora daily #sm things piling up but my brain says NO #I can’t even do basic things 😭#it’s genuinely so hard to talk to others #aaaaaaah #the reason is bc I’ve forced myself into contentment with the prospect of being alone cause there’s just so much I can do that would bring #me joy in solitude but #that’s what I’ve always been doing part of the reason I talk a lot is bc that’s how I am in my head #like things firing at 100miles per second bc that’s how I used to keep myself entertained when I was younger #when everyone would have buddies and I wouldn’t #and it works now bc everyone takes ten business days to reply that it’s completely made me genuinely grossed out of social interaction #but I can’t live in La La land forever #pls if only kaveh existed I wouldn’t need another means of socialisation eueeuue #everyone is so impossible to understand; coming from a girl who has always been called utterly INSANE for how hard she hyper focuses on #small cues and signals and detecting discomfort and whatnot.

Running off of two-ish hours of sleep and two bottles of coffee. I'm doing about as well as you'd expect.

#last night i was incredibly busy with end of year camp stuff #i didn't get to sleep until about 5:30 #i wake up at 7:20. i usually nap longer than that #i knew this would happen so i bought bottles of coffee to sustain me #i chugged one before i started teaching today and then sipped the other while i taught #i don't feel alive right now. i feel like the coffee in my veins is the only thing animating me #i don't have a single thought in my head except 'fuck I'm tired'#idk how i managed to teach this morning tbh. i think it's only because this is my second year doing it so i know it well #but there were moments i looked down at my lesson plans and didn't know how to read #blessedly i don't think anyone is taking my afternoon class so i can just bum and be sleepy in peace #last night while i was doing my stuff i was also writing a fucking novel to my girlfriend (i have a girlfriend now!!)#just all of my thoughts while i was going through the night because i wanted to be talking to her #but strangely enough she wasn't awake at 5am. so i just sent the message after i woke up for real #it is over a full screen length long and i took parts out before i sent it. but it was also written over the course of like seven hours #I'm exhausted and my mental illness is flourishing in the exhaustion. I'm not a fan #I'm glad i had the experience of last night. but i wish i had experienced a bit more sleep
