hehehhe haiii have a lil snippy snip :] also spoilers for tears of the kingdom . if u r interested in playing the game idk afacafgsgs

The attack, however, never comes. She hears Mineru’s metallic hum behind her and Yunobu’s yelp. Tulin grunts right above her ear as he flies higher and creates a gust of wind that whips her hair at her cheeks. “You fiend!” Sidon yells to her left, overpowering the entire silent void of the depths. That itself almost blows her away — Sidon’s furious yell — though Riju scolds herself for ever doubting her friends. Ever the risk-taker, she squints her eyes open enough to see the action behind her make-shift shield. Sidon rushes past her, sliding gracefully on the water that’s formed right underneath him, almost as a sled. He’s pushed ahead by Tulin’s wind, flying across the water at a speed she’s never seen before. It’s powerful, it’s brave — it’s everything Sidon’s worked to become. The wave only grows until it’s enough force for Sidon to pull the water skywards, completely blocking the Demon King’s attack. The water drowns out the gloom, leaving them in a bubbling mix on the floor. The gloom sizzles against the cold water, fighting back, but it’s a useless endeavor. She laughs, both in pride and slight shock, and Sidon grins her way, all teeth.

utopia hiii :] waving at u . i am on a car ride to a cabin and it’s very snowy and i’m excited to have like a week to just write and brainstorm ! my writers block seems to have disappeared over night so i’m very excited. how r u doing cat peek emoji

WAVES hai jazzy!! that sounds super cool whoaaaa it's just been a torrent of rain out here but that's been fun!!

hit a week of working on my daily notes so thats pretty epic if you ask me, and im doing rlly good aside from some issues relating to the curse of mental illness and chronic pain!! i have been quite productive!!! finally got my assignment for a horror gift exchange which i am HYPED for <- avid enjoyer of horror and looking forward to using this as an excuse to really delve into some concepts that i've been stewing on for a while

lots of fic ideas and things ive been slowly elaborating on!! i've really kind of just sat down and decided to pour my effort into a handful of things beyond my gift fic(s), that being the other two pieces for asomatous [metamorphosis - the prequel, and paracosm - the continuation], and some stuff in the seraphim au! i've been in suchhhh a fantasy kick lately its been fun! i mean, fantasy and gore, but usually not mixing tooo much aside from some immortality elements in one thing

SUPER glad to hear ur writers block has disappeared!! i'm looking forward to seeing what you create! i might start depositing snippets and stuff in your inbox again possibly :3c i've been super secretive with my actual writing besides my footnote posting but i may start dropping pieces in ur inbox! i've been super proud of what i do end up writing down, as haphazard as a lot of it is ^_^

ALTHOUGH in terms of projects i think that oneirataxia is probably going to be the next fic on the list for getting written since its been kind of just staring at me recently........ something something how to decay gracefully

(oneirataxia: the inability to differentiate between dreams and reality.)

i've gotta finish adding stuff to my current writing vault and deciding how i want to link things together (since i'm planning to have an organization note just going over statistics for the month) and also just generally finishing transferring stuff into this vault, since i lot of things are still in my old one which just. wasn't very well organized since i didn't ever plan to use it as much as i did because of the whole. mcc event.

[pyrriax]

GET BOOPED

amused by the fact i can TELL you made a misclick and had to refollow me

[pyrriax]

oh look just a silly normal ask nothing hap- BITES YOU AND RUNS AWAY

[pyrriax]

HAIIIIIIII im bringing u a snip ^_^ this is for my big bang event thingy hehe. a lil background for this, gill basically gets this curse that gives him horrible nightmares n shit but hides how bad it is until he literally almost dies and is barely saved on time <3

“You promised.” Her whisper is heartbroken, desperate, cracked and shattered. “You promised you wouldn’t leave me.” “I love you, Jay Ferin.” Gill started, eyes as intense as the sea on a thunderous day, and Jay already wanted to kiss him and punch him. “I swear on Lunadeyis, on the moon and stars and sun themselves, that I love you more than the sea could love the sky. I swear that my intention will never, ever be to leave your side, as long as I breathe. I will…” He faltered, mouth stuck open as he troubled his mind. Jay waited, because she would wait for him as long as he needed. The wind outside brushed against the window, singing. “The Elders taught me to hide my pain, to conceal any weakness so no opponent or ally could use it against me.” He said instead and Jay felt her heart break all over again. He looked like every word pained him. Each confession, each truth was like a stab to the gut. Or, an arrow to the heart. “I was not taught how to love or be loved, but—” Jay interrupted him. “But you’re trying.” A statement. There’s no question, because Jay knows him. He nods. “I’m trying, I swear this to you. My love and my efforts are all for you. For Chip and for our crew.”

these 2 make me SO ILL. something about devotion and growing and improving not just for you but for them and not caring about their past and knowing that as long as they have each other, they can survive . omg i just thought of such a painful fic idea where jay hides her pain too i cant wait to write that later

anyways :3 i have to keep writing bc i need to finish this by new years hopefully anddd i still have like at least 10k words lol <3 im just listening to minecraft music so heres a song from jay & gills ship playlist

FUCKIGND WHHATNT OW OW OW?? OH MY GOD..... ooooooh my god man holy SHIT this is just. ough. im chewing on this. actually just devouring it.

“You promised you wouldn’t leave me.” what if i sob on the floor. what if i just DIE. oh my GOD. i have no intelligent words to describe the emotions this gave me.

also i might toss some of my concepts at you because i cannot decide whether i commit to some of them or not. ovfufnbhjdk. but also just. the hiding injury type of trope just GETS me like. ough. just. ough.....

AND GOOD LUCK!!! i have some fics i need to have done by new years and i am. horrifically behind because of the Fatigue thats hit me.

[pyrriax]

2, 21, and/or 49 for the ask game :3

2. lighter or matches?

matches!

21. something you’ve kept since childhood?

i've held onto a lot of things! i think my favorite is this ratty old sheep plushie, he's seen a lot of love and will never be clean ever but i love him anyways <3

49. can you skip rocks?

nope! cannot, though i have tried....

[pyrriax]

29 and 40 :3

29. Favourite film(s)

Logan's Run, Death Race 2000, Nokto de la Galaksia Fervojo (Night on the Galactic Railroad), The Maze Runner, aaaaand The Secret of Nihm! (or FernGully: The Last Rainforest... I love both of those it's hard to choose)

Some odds and ends things that I think are really good <3 I think about all of these a lot and honestly I think it might show a fair bit. One day I'll write a fic based off Logan's Run... Also highly recommend the book for that one

40. Favourite Memory

Oh gosh you ask the guy with memory issues about memories? /silly

However! I think I'd have to pick the day where I discovered the lake near my house and spent a solid six hours just exploring the old pines and discovering the old logging path that used to run through the area.

Either that or the day I decided to watch basically all of HLVRAI with @cabit-cabin as a date :3 That was a nice day

From Home Where by Sir Chloe !!

[pyrriax]

HAI bites u :3 currently . editing a chapter i’ve been putting off editing bc i don’t like editing but i was meant to post it almost 2 weeks ago so <3 here’s a snippy snippy. for some reason indents hate me >:(

He woke slowly. He unconsciously leaned into her palm and burrowed his face further into the pillow. Jay laughed, almost giggled, which she blamed on her tiredness. It was not at all related to her emotions. She gently raised him out of the pillow, unfortunately bringing him into the light.

He mumbled, squinting his eyes and pursing his lips back and forth, “Mgh, Jay? Hi, Jay.”

She laughed and poked him in the cheek. “Hi, you.”

He was clearly disoriented by the change in scenery, squinting against the sun like it was his personal enemy. He resembled an angry cat that hadn't received treats in a while, although she knew if Gill heard her make that comparison, he'd be very offended. Her mission to sneak a cat onboard the ship and slowly integrate it into the crew was still a work in progress, to say the least. Gillion was the main opposition to that goal. Nonetheless, waking up in the sun after sleeping in water his entire life would be a stark change, no doubt.

She hummed absentmindedly, a simple buzz to fill the silence of a late morning, no tune in mind, as he gained awareness of his surroundings. His thick brows furrowed, glaring at the bed and sheets as if they'd personally wronged him. He looked funny with his hair a tangled mess behind him and pillow lines etched into his skin. She offhandedly wished for some way to capture the moment forever. Not only to laugh at with Gillion later, but perhaps to admire the way the sun made his eyes shimmer like ocean ways in the afternoon heat. 

Just perhaps, of course.

them <3 so sappy hehe. this is one of my fav chapters bc it’s just so fluffy and sweet. here’s the song i’m stealing the chapter title from

THSI USI SO SWEET :((((( IMM GOIGNG TO EPXLDOE!!!

🐠 a funny quote from a published work

Lame response, but believable enough. That is, if you weren’t Bro, and hadn’t known him practically his entire damn life. But with his luck, he’ll let it go. Whew. Close one there, better not go internal monologuing again now.

( Tell me I'm your world; published April 3rd 2021 )

🐳 a big, long quote from a published work

"Are they worth dying for? Are your curiosities and will to help worth dying for? Would you die for them?" The wind calls back, howling as it batters the trees and knocks bloody autumn leaves to the ground. "If family is worth dying for, then so are they. Even if to them I'm just a bloody animal, a monster no better than the beast that hunts me, I'll live for them, I'll die for them. I'm nothing without them and I know that so well." It's not a revelation, it's not new. It's the autumn fire, heat, and smoke twist, mingling with what was safe. Suffocating and no longer home. Sand and gunpowder. Blinding pain and life. Fighting for life through the cracks in his thoughts and memories. Yet the chill sinks its teeth into his bones, and he thrashes against it. He refuses to be gentle, refuses to be tame. Because in his truth, he's still that demon with blood on his teeth and he's still fighting with anyone who lets him prove his strength. And they still throw him to the ground, spit in his direction, and he gets up bloody and bruised time and time again until he's as red as they are. He's earned these scars, he's earned the history he's carved into his very being. Disrespect or not, whisperings of how he doesn't need to fight, he doesn't care. Because no matter how much they take from him, or how they try to tame him, he's still a rabid animal at heart. Burning, snarling, baring his teeth, alive.

hmmmm…. nosebleed with one of ur ocs? i don’t know many of them so go wild :3

STARES AT THIS

ok i needed an excuse to write some VERY low quality interaction & worldbuilding of lavius, lyra, and the fray as a whole

writing below the cut! its like 1k words :3

How long has it been stuck out in this god awful nothingness? Way, way too long, if you were to ask it. Vin said that the trip wouldn't be far, but apparently far to him is a hell of a lot different from far to it.

Though, if Lavius is honest, it's dreading going back home. Don't get it wrong! It loves spending time with Lyra and Vin and all the… Entities, but it would really rather get back home-- to its real home, not the one its been staying at with these people that live out here. Or, rather, with the realm guardians.

God, it still can't wrap its head around this. One moment, it's being followed by this giant feathered whale who calls herself Tristae, the next it's getting dropped into this endless nothingness without so much as a guide.

The Fray, they'd called it. This place between worlds that's shaped by the people present. Even just thinking about it hurts its head.

Maybe that's just the constant, droning headache that its had ever since it got here, though.

Darting between the small flickers of solid ground and light, finally the nothingness shifts, gaining stars and streaks of purples and greens painted in the distance. Almost like the night sky out in the field at home. Almost. The ground beneath its feet finally feels solid again, no longer almost making it feel like its just floating in empty space.

Really, it never thought it'd miss the hum and buzz of the city, all of the technology that's completely obsolete in a world so focused on magic like this one. Constant not-quite-safety traded in favor of being left to search a barren world alone because the people that were supposed to keep it safe got into an argument and left it behind. What a wonder.

This place isn't dead, though. Far from it.

Beasts stalk the vast darkness, only warded away by the presence of the guardians. It'd asked, once, where these things came from, if they're so afraid of the people that keep these places safe.

Lyra shut Lavius down, turned her attention back to the wounded deer-bird-thing that'd wandered its way into the cabin and told Lav to not ask stupid questions. Vin, on the other hand, just shrugged. Something about the way that this realm wasn't properly guarded for a long time, and that he hasn't had the chance to fully sweep them away to where they belong.

Where does a beast come from if not a place between worlds? Maybe, somewhere like space.

Crunch.

Turning to face the source of the sound, it doesn't have more than a second to react before it was being flung back into a tree by clawed hands.

Shit. Not one of these things again.

"Get the hell away from me!" It tries to sound strong, tries to make itself seem scary, or at least ward off the beast. Lyra's guidance slips its mind at the worst possible time. Why didn't it keep that damn staff with it. At least then it would've had something to ward it off.

Yet all the creature does is growl, clawed hands resting on the now forest floor, dragging itself into the light and revealing a demented mix of some kind of bug and owl. Head crooked and lined with teeth that match neither such beasts.

Where are they when I need them? What the hell happened to sticking together so I don't get hurt? Why did they have to choose now of all times to make me walk home alone?

Scrambling to its feet, its difficult to shake off the dizzy feeling of standing up too fast, but there's no time to dawdle as it takes off in a dead run, not bothering to look back. That'll only cost valuable time and risk the thing catching it sooner.

Here's to hoping Lyra doesn't think it's just some lost puppy like the last thing that tried to kill me! God, I fucking hope not.

Weaving between trees and pulling its bag to its chest, the forest is a good sign that its close to Lyra's home. And that she's there at all. That's a relief. Sort of…

But there's no dallying as a familiar cabin comes into view, lanterns illuminating the relative darkness as it runs straight into the door, not having nearly enough time to slow down and open the door. If its head didn't hurt before, it sure as hell does now!

At least somewhere along the way, the creature stopped. Though that does mean--

The door opens slowly, a familiar feathered face staring down at it incredulously.

"Lavius?" She drawls, leaning down and getting right up in its face before raising a claw to its cheek. "You can just knock, you know. You don't have to leave an offering, love."

An offering? "But I didn't leave an offering, Lyra! I just-- there was a thing! It was chasing me! I didn't know where to go, I just, I ended up here, and--"

Lyra cuts it off, swiping her claw over its mouth and presenting her palm to it. There's blood, dark purple in color. "You left an offering on my door, now please, come inside before you draw in the wyrms. And please, don't get blood on the floor."

Standing in the doorway for a moment longer even as she holds the door open for it, it scrubs away the blood that's begun to get in its mouth, trickling down from its nose. Though, really, that's a futile effort at best, just smearing the familiar color on the back of its hand.

"Yes ma'am." It sighs, following the guardian into the cabin.

[pyrriax]

hello hello giving u a polite little wave ! i decided to watch an undertale pacifist playthrough and now i am. so unwell about character and feelings. so of course i take this out on the blorbo :]

‘Cause even with the 4 Sages’ avatars behind him and Mineru’s construct trailing behind, he feels cold. The space next to him is empty and he can’t help but let his hand shake in it’s glove. There should be a hand there to hold his, a smile to protect, and a curiosity to defend. He looks up to the sky, hoping, almost praying to Hylia yet again, for a glimpse of her. But like the many times before, the skies are void of her white scales and golden hair, but he almost swears, the ring on his finger holding Zelda’s power pulses. He blinks the tears welling up in his eyes away, setting his sights firm on the arching stone in front of him. He’s doing this for her. She’s saving her kingdom for her. Her ultimate sacrifice, and her final decision, will not be in vain. By his blade, and her magic, the Demon King will fall. He takes a step forward, then another, and another, until Lookout Landing falls out of view. The avatars follow him, running along with peaceful expressions and strong stances. He’s doing this for them, too. His friends. He’s doing this again for all of Hyrule’s people. And he would do it again and again for Zelda. But by Hylia, does he want to rest.

sorry i'm incapable of sending short snips. i need all my thoughts out NEOW !!! like . hes had to save the kingdom hyrule twice from ultimate death with only 5-7 years to rest. and each time he has no choice in the matter because he's the hero. he has to. he'll still do it everytime and that almost makes it worse, like his entire life is already written out by fate :(

UGHGFNJMDV IM STARING AT THISSS....

He’s doing this for her. She’s saving her kingdom for her. Her ultimate sacrifice, and her final decision, will not be in vain. By his blade, and her magic, the Demon King will fall.

IM LSOGIN MY MIIND :((( OUGHVNJ,,,,

he's the hero and he has to do this :( but does he want to.....

[pyrriax]

HELLO !!!! so i DID managed to write a bit :DD i have been soo fixated on legend of zelda so i am writing about that !!!! the new game has been my life like ever since it came out soooo 😎 link angst!!

He tries to sign to Sidon that he’s alright and doesn’t need any care, but the movement to sit up is so overwhelming and painful. He gasps, hands reaching to the source of the pain on instinct. He thuds back against the glass-like structure behind him, and silently apologizes to whatever ancient figure he’s dishonoring right now. They probably didn’t expect to be immortalized only for the hero to bleed out in front of them. Sidon gasps too, and there’s immediately a blinding pressure on his leg that has him choking on air. He can’t breathe and, Hylia, it’s too much. His hands wrap around a wrist much bigger than his and he tries to pry Sidon off, to stop. He chokes out a word, through the tightness of his throat and inability to communicate with his hands. “Stop…!” It works, for a moment. The pressure releases almost instantly, and instead of the blinding sting, a dull ache takes its place. Link sighs in relief, muscles relaxing for the first time since his battle. His eyes slip open in his relief and he catches the sight of Sidon. His eyes are wide and mouth agape, staring at Link with… shock? Surprise? He can't tell, not when his whole head is in the clouds and his vision is blurring over. Sidon’s hands are posed in the air as if caught in a crime. They’re also covered in blood, and when Link’s gaze drifts downward, out of his own exhaustion, he sees his leg. There’s blood, and lots of it. Not to mention all the flesh and muscle clearly out of the place they should be. Oops. 

this is very unedited and also i’m still trying to nail down link’s voice so i’m not 100% happy with it, but i did write like 800 words so i’m proud about that :3 i have a wholeeee idea for a huge fic about the main story but focused and link’s mental health and the connections he makes with people, but i’m deciding if it’d be better as a whole fic or series with many fics :D anyways yippeeee i’m gonna eep soon so throws this at u and runs away

EYES IM GONNA SOB NOWWWW.......

please please PLEASE if you post this ping me because i MUST read this oooooh my god. bawling. shaking. crying. oguhnjfkmdl sobs. this is. im gonna lose my mind. wAUghh... . .. .. sknrfmkdsnmsk snf sobs.

[pyrriax]

hands u this song like a little gift and scurries away in to the wooods :] something about it just. ough.

HELLO YES I LOVE THIS SONG AUDFHBJNK

[pyrriax]

:0 cat cat?

ANYWAYS

YOU, YOU !! you give me japanese bobtail vibes :3

[pyrriax]

hmmm pandora or melody for the ask game? :) i am SO interested in them !!!

OOOOO okay you get a two-for-one because I can!!

I'm putting this below a read-more because christ almighty it's long, lol

PANDORA:

One aspect about them I love

I love the fact he sticks to his beliefs & is genuinely consistent with how he treats others. It causes so many issues (especially later on when that really gets challenged) but also is part of why I think he's as compelling as he is.

One aspect I wish more people understood about them

Oh my god. My main one: he is not a good person. Not At All. Yes that hinges off his past, no it's not part of what I've shown so far. He remembers tasting blood for a reason, man! And he did not lose a fight to end up in that situation!

One (or more) headcanon(s) I have about this character

Okay I'm gonna talk strictly headcanon with this! I definitely see him as being either nonbinary or genderqueer post-maze. Probably an any pronouns user, especially with demon culture not really focusing on strict gender stereotypes (though that's still a thing, just not as common in his experience). Oh dude Pandora would SO wear one of those long flowy skirts, that's absolutely his jam.

One character I love seeing them interact with

Accius!! I love him and Accius interacting, it brings me so much joy. Even if Pandora doesn't realize it, Accius looks up to him as an older brother type of figure. (Even if Pandora is only a couple of years older than them)

One character I wish they would interact with/interact with more

Oliver, 100%! Those two could've had such great chemistry and would've bounced off each other really well, but sadly that just doesn't get to happen :( I hold it dear regardless, and I'm totally gonna write something based around those two getting along because I think that'd be so sweet.

One (or more) headcanon(s) I have that involve them and one other character

Ooooh man this is tough! I'm gonna leave this one alone because my only idea right now is actually a plot point in the next two chapters and I don't wanna spoil anything (I see Dane reading this, silly creature :3)

MELODY:

One aspect about them I love

I love the way she talks!! I don't know how to really describe it, but the way she talks is just super fun to imagine + write. Also just I love how much her character and behavior comes from a place of love and grief, rather than hatred :)

One aspect I wish more people understood about them

I'm not intending for her to be a villain in this story, she's just somebody who's hurting and taking it out on others. I mean the whole scene in Chapter 15 (cicadas) was supposed to be showcasing that fact, even if it did mean she almost killed someone. She's quite literally just grieving in a horrible manor, and maybe he looks a little bit too similar to somebody, but that's not his fault.

[ Context since I know you haven't been reading! Melody approached Pandora when he was in the prison cell and almost ended up shooting him with her bow, but intentionally missed and walked away after. ]

One (or more) headcanon(s) I have about this character

OKAY I literally refuse to actualize this because I really dislike one-sided romance / pining and we already have one instance of that (Ivy being hopelessly in love with Accius) but I feel like Melody would absolutely have a crush on Lyra. Would I condone that crush? Hell no! Not for the fact it's lesbian, but for the fact that it would be so unhealthy it's painful. Lord.

One character I love seeing them interact with

Oh yes!! Nyx! I love how she interacts with Nyx, it's so natural and it makes total sense that she gets along with him, being a volunteer.

One character I wish they would interact with/interact with more

This is hard to choose, man! I wish she interacted more with Altair before [redacted] especially because of the fact they were always listening to what she said. But also, I wish she interacted more with Kato! Those two had such a good dynamic and I am SO upset it didn't get more screen time

[ You have: Person who was notorious for basically learning everything about a person & Person who refuses to say anything about themself unless it's life or death ]

One (or more) headcanon(s) I have that involve them and one other character

We're going canon again with this one!! I think her and Pandora absolutely used to practice fighting with each other, she did it out of some curiosity and ended up getting some of her memories back because of it :) They're actually really evenly matched in a battle, though she often held back when it came to anything ranged. Even if she hates him, she's not going to use the fact he has poor depth perception and a mostly-blind left eye against him.

On that topic!! She trained people in the clearing archery and was the one who showed Urki how to use a halberd, along with showing Accius about War Scythes. She's got a fair bit of weapons knowledge, since that used to be something she studied a lot! Mel is the combat teacher of the group, though a lot of people already had their preferences and specialties and just needed reminding.

[ Also I feel like she's DEFINITELY both gotten accidentally stabbed during training, and also definitely accidentally stabbed somebody. Both of which were probably from and to Pandora. Those two fought a lot. Ironically I don't think they ever actually physically fight after the first couple of months. They were closer than I showed in the condensed version of the story! Hatred leads people to knowing each other better than they wanted to :) ]
