I VOLUNTEER

I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE

All jokes aside, I am at your service! Which scenes?

You know, if I was an artist (and had patience, bless you artists lol) I'd draw scenes for Golden Mercy because putting any of this into words is kind of a nightmare right now, but there are lots of vibes and images LOL.

When the Lanterns are Lit

I had the opportunity to join the Good Omens Fairytale Bang, and we just got posted! It's the Crowley/Aziraphale pixie AU that you never knew you needed!

A huge shout-out to @dorliart for everything. Their artwork was so amazing, as soon as I saw it I knew I needed to write the story for it! They were an absolute pleasure to work with, and I hope I have a chance for another collab with Dorli in the future!

Title: When the Lanterns are Lit

Rating: G

Summary: Deep in The Wood, pixies Aziraphale and Crowley live a life of carefree delight. But when a doorway into Faerie appears, Aziraphale and Crowley have to work together to help two lost human boys admit the feelings they have for each other... and maybe recognize their own feelings along the way!

Excerpt:

“Azii-raphale…” Aziraphale shifted, not quite awake yet, but closer, swimming up through the darkness.  His ears twitched as something soft brushed against the long points.  Once… twice… He muttered restlessly inches from wakefulness. “PSSSST!!!” His eyes flew open, finding himself nose to nose with a familiar face framed with flowing red hair.  Crowley was crossed eyed and giggling as he waggled his tongue at Aziraphale. “Ahh!” Aziraphale tumbled from the flower he had been sleeping in.  Crowley burst into laughter, clutching his sides as he slid into the space in the center of the flower Aziraphale had just tumbled out of.  His black wings fluttered with his laughter, iridescent colors rippling across them in the fresh morning light.

I Refuse...

I refuse to see another obituary because someone felt too small cause their rights were taken away.

I refuse to go to another funeral because a trans woman down the street was beaten, bloody and bruised.

I refuse to lose another member of the youth because their so called "leaders" continue to fail their needs.

The youth shouldn't have to wait until they are 18 for their right or a voice to their own body.

I refuse to lose the right to my own voice and own body.

My mother was born three years after Hawai'i was "claimed" the 50th state.

My mother had already graduated high school when the Hawaiian language was no longer banned to be taught in school curriculums.

History may be in the past, but the past wasn't that long ago.

I cannot afford a setback of one year let alone four.

Our past didn't struggle and suffer just so we could do the same.

My journal entry from yesterday. I still stand on it. Stay safe. Take care of yourselves. Stay. Go be with community today.

The Exception

An Invader Zim and SpongeBob SquarePants oneshot!

Enjoy 🍑💨✨

⚠️ Acts of Violence ⚠️

Danny sighed as he rubbed the temples of his forehead. “Zim… you’re killing me.” He groaned as he watched another blob of melted wall droop down. They were having a normal meeting when suddenly Zim yelled and ignited one of his bombs. The Irken stood at the side, arms crossed but with a somewhat satisfied look on his face as he stared at the destruction he’d caused.

Jenny walked over to him, “Zim, we’ve told you, no explosives outside the lab!” She said for the hundredth time but it only made Zim scoff. “I don’t an android telling me when it’s necessary to arm myself.” He stated, not even glancing at the robot to acknowledge her more.

Timmy walked over to the both of them, “For the last time, Zim! We’re not your enemy anymore! We’re a team, we have to work together.” He says. Zim cackled, “That's rich! Even coming from you, beaver man!” He insulted before turning his back on all of them. Suddenly he felt someone standing behind him, “We can’t keep going like this, Zim. At some point, you need to trust us. We trust you. We need to put aside our differences and make things work.” Jimmy said firmly.

Zim cackled again, “You are what people now call the Modern Jesters! Try looking in the mirror for once before you babble!” He snapped before walking away. Jimmy sighed as he watched Zim’s figure run off to the lab. “So, what do we do about this?” Danny asked, staring at the walls that were still melting. “Leave it, we’ll deal with it in the morning,” Jimmy responds before walking to the Portal that lay in the middle of the headquarters, entering his homeworld coordinates and jumping through. Everyone internally sighed as they made their way to the portal to return home.

Just as the last member walked through the portal, there was a deafening silence. Unexpectedly, the portal lights up again, revealing someone was coming through.

Zim mumbled to himself, hands tinkering away on a project he had been working on. He mumbled out small curses to himself, still hating how things went in the meeting room. His hand then reaches over to his toolbox for the wrench only to grab air. He growled and turned to the toolbox. “Curses! That stupid scientist probably took it for his stupid experiments! Or that android for its body parts! They purposely misplaced it to give me internal suffering!!!” He cursed. He was about to throw something out of anger but then a hand extended next to him, the hand holding his wrench.

“Ah, it's you,” Zim said as he took the wrench without hesitation and started working on his project. SpongeBob smiled, “The one and only. Watcha doing here? It's late y’know, you should be in bed.” The sponge says. Zim rolled his eyes, “I have no time for the zees right now.” He says it like it is an insult.

SpongeBob walks next to him, “Well, have you eaten?” He asked again. Zim scowled, “No.” he replied. “Well, good thing I brought the leftovers from work.” SpongeBob said as he handed out a paper bag, Zim frowned as he waved it away, “I told you, foolish sea walker, I don't want to eat-” he paused and sniffed the air. The aroma was captivating. His posture relaxes as he stares at the paper bag. “Uhm… what is it exactly?” He asked curiously. “Oh- it's a Krabby Patty! One of the things I cook for work.” SpongeBob explained with a smile, his hand still gesturing for Zim to take the paper bag.

Zim stared at the paper bag, then at the wrench in hand, then at the paper bag again. “The project can wait!” Zim stated as he threw the wrench into his toolbox and grabbed the paper bag. Zim opened it and the aromas intensified, “Woah..” he said as he grabbed the burger. “Careful, it's still hot,” SpongeBob warned to which Zim frowned, he didn’t need to be babied.

Zim took a huge bite and his eyes widened. It was savoury but also hot. Zim felt his tongue burn and his eyes water slightly as he tried to adjust to the temperature. SpongeBob hands him a tissue which Zim reluctantly takes to wipe his tears and dab his mouth. “This is good..” he says before taking another bite which makes SpongeBob smile wider.

“I heard about what happened earlier, are you ok now?” SpongeBob asked after a short moment of silence. Zim rolled his eyes, “I did what I had to do.” Was all Zim replied as he chewed aggressively. SpongeBob was quiet, “But it's not often you pull out a hand bomb and throw it out in a room without reason.” He says. Zim swallowed, “How do you know? You weren’t there!”. SpongeBob shrugged, “Danny messaged me and told me everything.” He said which made the Irken groan.

Zim took the last bite out of the burger, chewing aggressively as he could feel SpongeBob’s gaze on him. He swallowed, “What!? What are you staring at?!!” He yelled. SpongeBob replied, “I was just trying to figure out why’d you do something like that.” He says kindly. Zim growled, “It's pointless telling you anyways, the thing is already dead anyways.” He says which makes SpongeBob raise a brow, “Dead?”

Before Zim could explain further, something fluttered in front of them. Zim and SpongeBob looked to see an orange butterfly fluttering in front of them. Zim’s eyes widen, “ITS ALIVE!! IT MUST’VE ESCAPED SOMEHOW!!!” He screamed as he scrambled to the desk to grab another hand bomb. Just when he was about to throw one, he heard a splat. Zim turned to see SpongeBob with his spatula out, splattered the butterfly onto the metallic floor. Zim carefully puts his hand bomb back on the table and walks over to SpongeBob.

“Is- is it dead?” He whispered, before SpongeBob could answer the wings of the butterfly twitched. They both screamed, SpongeBob then clapped the heels of his boots together which then protruded a set of spiky cleats below his boots. SpongeBob then hurriedly stomps on the butterfly repeatedly, the metal floor clanging as it's hit by SpongeBob’s iron cleats.

After a while, SpongeBob stopped and took a step back. Zim moved closer to see the butterfly shredded butterfly. No signs of life. “It's dead!” He announced which made SpongeBob sigh of relief. “Thank Neptune..” he says. Zim looks curiously at the butterfly and SpongeBob. “Why did you do that?” Zim asked which made SpongeBob pause, “Do what?” He asked.

Zim pointed to the corpse, “That. I didn’t think you’d kill a butterfly.” He says. SpongeBob visibly shivered, “I don't like butterflies…” he said like there was a bad memory attached to it. Zim’s eyes widen, “You don't?” He asked, SpongeBob shook his head, “They’re too…. unpredictable.” He says as he rubs his arms uncomfortably.

Zim smiled, “Yes! Exactly! They are! And the way they fly too! It's irregular!” He says. SpongeBob nods, “It is! And what's worse is when they try to take over your home town and eat your friends and family!” SpongeBob says in fear. Zim’s eyes widen, “What!!? They can do that?!!?” He asks in shock as SpongeBob nods. “Yeah! It was so scary!!” SpongeBob says, the memories replaying in his head.

“Well, did you manage to kill it?!” Zim asked, SpongeBob shook his head, “No, it got away somehow.” He says. Zim frowned, “Dammit, you should’ve killed it.” He says and adds, “You never know that they’re reporting back to their commander! It has probably given the intel back to its home base! Luckily you killed this one.” He says as he stares back at the dead butterfly.

SpongeBob sighed as he clapped his heels again which made the spiky clears retract. Zim stared at his boots with wonder, “I like your boots.” He says as he points to them, “The spikes make them shine.” He added. SpongeBob smiled, “Thanks! I made them myself. Never know when you need cleats.” He says which makes the Irken nod, “Indeed.” He says.

The Irken and sea sponge took a moment to breathe. “Is that why you blew up the meeting room?” SpongeBob finally asks. Zim frowns and looks away, “Yes.” He replies. SpongeBob smiled, “It's ok! Happens to the best of us.” He says which makes Zim perk up. Usually, he’s met with a long line of questions or ‘you should’ve just done..’ type of statements. Zim’s antennas twitched, “You make my actions seem like a small thing.” Zim finally says. SpongeBob laughed, “Trust me, I understand how you feel.” He says. Zim stared at him for a while, his expression softened. He did trust SpongeBob.

Ever since he joined this group of nobodies, Zim realised he found himself conversing or even interacting more with SpongeBob. Zim just nodded and looked down, maybe this team wasn’t a lost cause after all. SpongeBob suddenly held his hand, “C’mon! We should head back! It’s late and headquarters can look quite scary at night.” He says as he leads Zim out of the lab, hand in hand.

Zim enters the coordinates and the portal lights up, revealing the light that will send him to his homeworld. “The architecture and engineering for this portal is poor.” He casually states which makes SpongeBob laugh. “I mean, a 15-year-old and an 18-year-old built it. What did you expect?” He said with a smile. Zim turned to SpongeBob, and smirked, “You’re an exception, SquarePants.” He says. SpongeBob smiled, “Call me SpongeBob, Zim. That's what all my friends call me.” He says.

Zim looks back to the portal, his back facing SpongeBob. “Thanks for the meal, SpongeBob!” He says before jumping through the portal. SpongeBob smiled, “Bye, Zim!”. The portal closes and the light dims down. SpongeBob turns to the mess in the meeting room. He sighed, “Let's clean this up.” He said as he walked away to storage to clean up as usual.

When the night has come

And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we'll see

No I won't be afraid

Oh, I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me ...

عندما يأتي الليل

والأرض مظلمة

والقمر هو الضوء الوحيد الذي سنراه

لا لن أخاف

أوه، لن أخاف

طالما أنك تقف، قف بجانبي ...

[shinowadh]

SHUT UP!!!!

Anger surges through me,

And my knuckles turn white,

When she turns around and says

'Oh look, it's only just 10 euros'

Only just 10 euros!!!!!

In only just 10 euros,

A starving family in Uganda,

Would be able to eat well for a week!!!

In only just 10 euros!!!

A toy could be bought,

Could teach a lonely, neglected, traumatise pup,

How to be happy again.

In only just 10 euros,

A vaccination can save,

Another life on another day.

Only just 10 euros

Can make a huge difference!

I pull out my phone,

Search up 'be a donor',

I shove the screen into her face.

And I say

'Only just 10 euros'

Please, the next time you buy something, ask yourself, won't this much money help someone?What is small for you is a big help for others.

A River of Stars, Chapter 1

My second fic for the Good Omens Fairytale Bang! I decided to used the Japanese fairytale ‘The Weaver and the Cowherd’ because the two characters falling in love felt perfect for Crowley and Aziraphale!

I got to work with @fishyartso01 who has done some amazing artwork for it!

Title: A River of Stars

Rating: T

Summary: Aziraphale has never met anyone like the Starmaker. But as they work together to hang a constellation of baby stars, the newly appointed Guardian of the Eastern Gate knows nothing will ever be the same. Based on the Japanese folktale “The Weaver and the Cowherd��

Excerpt:

“Can I ask… what are they?” he asked, flushing again as he gazed into the Starmaker’s face.

“What, you didn’t get to see before?” Aziraphale shook his head. “Ah, sorry, I didn’t realize! Yeah, come closer and take a look!” The red-haired angel turned until they stood toe to toe, heads bent over the small box. With a grin of anticipation, he brought the box up between them in one hand. The moment stretched out, and then the Starmaker reached over and opened the lid of the box. Inside, glowing with a rainbow of light, was a tiny star.

Reaching into the box, he slowly drew it forth and, tossing the box to one side, laid the star in Aziraphale’s hands. There was something about the way the starlight reflected off of the Starmaker’s face as Aziraphale’s eye flickered between the star and its creator. A stray streak of luminescent dust sparkled on one cheek, and Aziraphale’s breath caught at the sight. He swallowed hard and forced himself to focus on the star.

“It’s warm,” Aziraphale breathed.

Hurricane Helene and Appalachia

It's hard to express how it feels to see everything in Appalachia and the US South that's been destroyed by hurricane Helene- this is where I grew up. My family has been in Tennessee for several generations. We are descendants of Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Britain, Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. Appalachia is my home, and parts of it have just been annihilated from the earth.

You remember as a kid when you lost a toy because rainwater washed it down a drain pipe or down the road, to a place where you couldn't reach it? Remember how horrible that felt? To have to stand there and watch your favorite toy just float away?

Now imagine that happening to you now, but instead of a toy, it's your house. It's your car. You watch them float slowly away like a cruel joke in slow motion. It's like the universe has to do it in slow motion just to draw out your pain and mock you. You don't know whether to laugh or cry- maybe you do both. Maybe you scream. I would...

Folks just had to watch their entire lives literally float away- entire houses and cars gone forever. Most of these people don't have insurance that would even try to cover any of this.

No one can imagine how horrible and hopeless the folks in Tennessee, the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, and other Appalachian/Southern states feel right now. Some folks will never recover or be the same ever again. May the universe show them kindness and give them the strength to endure.

Maybe Beethoven can better express it through music here-
