#ask to tag idk how to tag this one

[cookinguptales]

thinkin' about that post I wrote about writing vampires and low blood volume when it's something that I have myself, and how you have to be careful about skin discoloration because it tends to creep people out in a way you don't want

and like I just felt the need to tell you how I got one of two embarrassing childhood nicknames

so apparently when I was born I looked bad

like

real bad

they needed forceps to yank me out so I was already kind of weird-looking because of that but then I was also like

BRIGHT FUCKING BLUE

according to dad, I was literally sky-blue with a shade of gray and I just looked straight-up dead and he was internally panicking but he didn't want to upset my mom (who hadn't seen me yet) and the doctors were being calm which helped him be calm too, and he said apparently after rubbing me down pretty vigorously I eventually pinked up and started crying and all was well

(though I guess a harbinger of things to come)

anyway, this is why my childhood nickname was

smurfette

my dad still calls me that sometimes, too. like it's been 32 years and I still get smurfette'd sometimes, especially when my skin is turning interesting colors again.

FUN FACT: my baby pictures from the hospital were "lost" and they had my parents come in a few days later to retake them, and both of my parents believe that I looked so fucking horrific as a newborn (between the forceps marks, the weirdly shaped head (because of the forceps), and the skin color) that the nurses purposefully destroyed the photos.

I'm cute now tho!!

anyway my other embarrassing childhood nickname was "strawberry butt" but I guess I'll just let y'all use your imaginations on that one.

Sonic Christmas Carol AU but actually it's not because it's based off the MLP episode I was obsessed with as a child

Hi i'm absolutely in love with the reverse au!!

I want to know, in this verse does edwin still confesses to charles? if so how is it different? i feel if he did he would end it by apologizing, you know, religious guilt and all

There’s a train that goes through Hell.

Its journey starts in Wrath, and it departs already full of souls. It took Charles far too many years to realize that there were separate, more spacious wagons that demons could board. Not that he could understand why anyone, hellborn or not, would want to get into the damned thing. He certainly hadn’t.

Actually, Charles couldn’t recall ever boarding the train. As far as he could tell, he just appeared there one day, and had spent the next tortuous decades trying to get out. It was part of the torture. Getting out was entirely possible. More than that, it was necessary.

The train had no regular schedule that he could discern (not at first, though he had always been good at finding patterns, and was eventually able to crack it) but it would make quite a few stops before finally returning to the Wrath ring. Souls inside the train were already angry and far too close to each other (close, so close not even air could squeeze in) but when they got really violent was when the train made a stop.

Getting out didn’t mean you were free, no matter where you managed it, be it Sloth or Gluttony, Pride or Lust. No, as soon as the train finished its journey, you would appear back inside, in Wrath where you belonged, suffocating once again, getting ready to claw your way out for the millionth time.

Because if you didn’t get out, The Conductor would get you.

If he thought about it calmly, Charles could probably say that he got out of the train more times than not. Still, being caught by The Conductor once was bad enough, as there was no coal in Hell, and something had to serve as combustible. Souls could not burn to death, and the whole journey always felt longer than eternity when he was caught. Once it was over, he would be inside again, and fight with more desperation than before, not caring who stayed inside so long as it wasn’t him.

He couldn’t understand why anyone, hellborn or not, would want to get into the damned thing. He certainly hadn’t. But as the souls pushed and bit and clawed and punched their way out, Edwin boarded the train. And that wasn’t even the most groundbreaking revelation Charles had that day.

ko-fi

perhaps the most important question i’ve ever asked:

does anyone have tips for people trying to stop being chronically late to everything in the world that aren’t weirdly judgmental and aggressive or flat out lies

Ask the Guardianship AU!

I just need an excuse to force myself to draw smth also I wanna try out some new brushes... also im kinda stuck on the fanction.... guys im struggling send help

okay so these are a popular thing people on tumblr do but I am like a senior citizen when it comes to social medias so I have never done one of these or even really participated in one. BASICALLY (if im getting this right) you can ask questions and I'll draw out the characters responding or reacting to them or whatever i dont know whats happening

It may take me a little while to do some of these bc im not very fast but idk i think i'd be a fun way to flesh out some lore!!!
