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

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

[petefromarma]

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

[obstinaterixatrix]

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.

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!
