Yo Hajime talk abt ur kin mems

since there were no specifications on which ones i am going to start from the beginning and go where my brain takes me from there. they're all gonna be for hajime bc i physically cannot think about my other memories anymore jsyk

also! this ended up being so long i had to put a cut. i will not be apologizing because i feel no remorse.

so first the basic stuff, i remember having a med skin tone and a FUCK ton of freckles like those motherfuckers were everywhere i had skin. also i was 5'7 i think?? or 5'6. i still can't remember exactly but it's something like that. i was also alloaro, some form of mlm, unfortunately cis, and autistic and probably had some other stuff like adhd or depression or whatever but i forgot. also i was kinda muscle-y but also chubby at the same time. and i had light green eyes. basically i was fanon hajime JSJSKDJDKS

and i was going over the wiki recently and my personality was EXACTLY how they described it like i'm genuinely surprised they got it so accurate

i don't remember much pre-game and post game, most of my memories are in game but i do remember pre game chiaki really well, honestly i rly miss her :( she would always reassure me that i didn't need a talent and i never even cared when she beat me in games cus just simply playing them with her was so fun .,.,,;:,,...,,!:&:&:jsjdjskskck</3

anyways. in game. ok. i'm gonna skip over memories where i just know feelings and not specific things like strong feelings or ppl saying stuff or else this would be so long. also obvious sdr2 spoilers

so i remember the party & blackout in the beginning of the game pretty clearly. i was mostly just standing alone in the corner and watching everyone have fun, but it was really freeing to see the others able to enjoy themselves in such pressing circumstances. then the blackout-- it was kinda like all that happiness going away and the dread and denial immediately setting in .

anyways i remember like panicking and wanting to cry when i lifted the table cloth cus i really liked twogami. i'm p sure i did end up crying cus i really liked them for their realism and leadership skills, and the realization that one of us killed them and that the killing game was actually real etc etc

anyway i don't remember much from the investigation or trial besides being really freaked out when nagito basically admitted to being the killer n stuff, and pretty much all the body discoveries after that (besides ch 5) we're just like "ah shit here we go again" but i do remember mikans trial really freaking me out when she just straight up shifted completely, and i also remember being really proud of fuyuhiko for putting his walls down a bit and deciding to help everyone out while the despair disease was going around

anyway enough of the boring stuff, i spent basically all my free time with komaeda, chiaki and mikan (in order of frequency) and with mikan i mostly listened to her talk about medical stuff and i comforted her when she needed to vent, but i didn't hang out with her much because the constant apologizing n stuff started to bother me since i really liked seeing her happy. chiaki i would mostly play games with and we wouldn't talk much, but she gave me a really strong sense of familiarity like when we played games together it gave me a shit ton of deja vu

AND i've already talked a lot about komaeda but idc i'm doing it again. so we started talking cus of him waking me up on the beach obvs and i was pretty attached right off the bat, but i stopped talking to him for awhile because the way he acted in the first trial REALLY scared me so i just got a pit in my stomach even being around him

but he was the one who started approaching me first, i'm guessing since he couldn't rly sense anything was wrong he just kinda picked things up where they left off and started talking w me at breakfast n stuff and it was pretty weird at first, but i wanted to give him a chance and didn't wanna be rude so i accepted offers to hang out in his cottage n stuff

i remember he has surgery scars tho and i'm rly mad ppl don't draw him with any!! i think he had about 5 and i don't remember all of them but i know one was a skin graft on his leg and the one on his side/stomach that i touched wassssss for appendix removal maybe???? mmmm i'm not too sure about that one tho

also !!!! his death. hoooooly shit. ok so yunno the despair that junko always talks about ?????? yeah <3!! i remember like once i saw his body and took the reality in i just. straight up could NOT stand i like fell to my knees and jsut . cried. like i had no thoughts my head was so full that it was empty i just kinda sat there and silent cried while chiaki stood next to me it was so awful dude

later while investigating n stuff i felt really bad ab how i treated him and thought about him, and i thought a lot about our last interaction. it was the first time i had ever approached him myself cus usually he'd come to me. i was gonna hang out with chiaki but i wanted to check up on him first, so i did and he told me to go hang out with the others and i just. knew something terrible was about to happen.

OH AND THE FUNHOUSE OMG ok i literally. i usually didn't mind being around komaeda like he was chill most of the time when he wasn't ranting about hope but when he was acting like such a bitch in the funhouse i wanted to punch his stupid twink ass so bad like...... what BUSINESS does this dude have being such an asshole. he doesn't even know what face wash is. what the fuck. which is another fun fact! komaeda did shower every so often which is why he didn't smell that bad but his skin was always so dry cus he didn't know how to actually wash right and do proper skincare so he just washed his face w soap and left it like that

also he didn't need to cut his nails cus they were so brittle they would just break off on their own <3 plus he had a nail biting habit so they just never grew ever

OH AND THIS IS THE SADDEST THING i remember feeling so bad for this man bc i would like put my hand on his shoulder and he would lean into it. i mean i'd tap his shoulder for a SECOND and girl when i let go hed be lowkey so sad i could just sense it like??????dude he needed a hug SSO BAD like when i hugged him in my cuddling memory he was like holding on for dear life but also was like "u dOnT hAvE tO tOuCh TrAsH LiKe mE hAjImE" like dude it was the saddest shit. i want to hug him forever. like what the fuck what the fuck!!!!!!!!!

also a thing hed do when he started ranting ab hope n shit like he would just go on and on and yunno that one sprite where he's hugging himself yeah he literally did that shit. also sometimes hed just stare dead at me and start backing me into a corner ((ish-- we were usually sitting somewhere but he mostly just got super close to me) and it was the scariest shit i. bro if i saw him like that on the streets i'd return him to the mental hospital like i can remember it somewhat vividly and that shit was TERRIFYING i mean obvs after i shoved him away and told him to cool it he'd apologize and go back to the way he was but jeez dude ....

also a little fun fact the only reason i really kept hanging out with him (i had a few ofc but this was the most prominent) is cus he was hot in my stupid monkey brain. yes that's it. like that's literally pretty much it. i hate admitting it but this post is SO fucking long i doubt anyone's gonna read it anyway so i'm admitting it now lol

anyway i hope u enjoyed :) i'm glad u asked btw! i'm sure you regret it though!

#do not fucking underestimate me #i feel like i'm not allowed to talk about myself in conversation so when i'm asked like this you're NOT hearing the end of it #kinblr #fictionkin #hajime hinata kin #nagito komaeda kin #putting this in tags bc theres so much and. i dunno ajdjdjsjdk #kin talk #ask #bestie neko 💕

Spanish Princess episode 6: my tired chronological thoughts

Say it with me now: “previously, on the Spanish Princess!”

-Is it just me or is tsp!koa sympathetic in this episode?

-charlotte was actually acting really well in the first scenes. I really felt for her. Probably because she wasn’t spouting any stupid dialogue.

-SO WE’RE JUST GOING TO FORGET ABOUT BABY STEALING HUH

-i wish i could forget

-”Cardinal Wolsey has been speaking with your daughter” if More and Maggie are now Mary’s adopted co-parents, can Wolsey please be the cool uncle?

-Please can we have wolsey speaking to mary in the fawning tone he uses with Henry and Mary’s just like...unimpressed.

-I will say this for tsp!koa, she does give good Hugs

-Yet again, Thomas More is babysitting the girls. While it’s good that Mary has adopted parents, it’s only sadder given her biological dad will execute both of them.

-it is actually historically accurate to have maggie p looking after Mary, she was Mary’s governess IRL, IIRC.

-also you wouldn’t leave the princess with just one person. She’d surely be supervised by at least 2 people, in case like one person had a heart attack or smth.

-PLEASE go back to calling her Lady Pole. AND GIVE THOMAS MORE TO DO

-”it will all come to nothing” sounds like something that WON’T come to nothing

-and now Henry and Wolsey have had a lover’s quarrel, they are such boyfriends they even quarrel like boyfriends.

-’summit’ sounds too modern

-Are Angus beefburgers named thus because of hard Meg roasted him this episode?

-”I wasn’t expecting to see you” yeah bc wasn’t the Field just F and H?

-The cinematography was great last episode, and now we have weird close ups on the riot ringleader’s face. Why. I can practically see his saliva. Yum.

-Someone else got to the “Wolsey whispers like David Attenborough” joke first.

-What is that weird af flooring? It looks like they stole it from the set of Rivendell in LOTR.

-No dancing? No revels? No tongue in cheek allusions to Glastonbury or Woodstock? This Field feels more like parent’s evening at school.

-I’m now certain Flodden swallowed the budget whole and it was not worth it.

-”we are being threatened” “they drew a gallows in pig’s blood” This is so frustrating. You didn’t need Lina to spell it out for the audience. It would have been so much more suspenseful if you just saw the drawing, and then Lina’s terrified face, and we cut to the next scene. But you think the audience is so dumb we won’t realise a gallows drawn in blood is a threat? GTFO. And stop making Lina state the obvious!

-How good is Rosa’s hubby at his navigator job if they’re wearing brocade at a royal summit?

-To be fair to the show, “she’s only six years old,” is said by Rosa, not Catherine, and Rosa has been living outside England, so easy mistake.

-I like the compass gift, that was cute.

-Maggie watching the shadow play reminds me of the shadow puppets her mother and aunt played with in twq :’)

-THE WINE FOUNTAIN YES I CAN SEE THE WINE FOUNTAIN i was worried we wouldn’t see it

-I misheard Rosa and thought she called Buckingham Aardvark instead of Edward. I will now call him Aardvark. Yes I am very mature.

-I get that Wolsey is meant to be the Bad Guy, but he was literally just standing there with his wine, doing nothing. Stop shouting at him, Aardvark, YOU walked into HIM.

-”raise the price of ale” do you have any idea how much ale people were drinking in this period, Henry? That’s like the government putting up the price of water. You raise the price of ale and you’ll make the unrest worse.

-People have been discussing Bessie’s behaviour, I think the issue is classism rather than xenophobia, cause she's worried for Lina and Oviedo and their kids but they’re servants of the crown, like she is, so they’re not ‘riff raff’, and she’s also dismissive of the rioters and wants “order restored” she said “heads on spikes” but I assume the heads are the rioters’ heads. Idk, either way the dialogue is clunky and stupid and this whole plotline is badly handled anyway and i do not care enough to rewatch that scene.

-given how rude Francois was to Mary, IN PUBLIC, I kinda love the idea of her taking the mickey out of him. and look at that, Reggie Pole’s silence finally has a plot purpose! Given that Reggie was Mary Tudor’s archbishop and right hand man, it’s kind of touching that they’re connected in this way.

-Twenty minutes left of episode and the Field is over. Le disappointment.

-”he’s gone!” Oviedo, I get that you’re probably in shock but... are you honestly trying to do CPR on a man who’s been skewered with a sword. I love you, Oviedo, but you were holding the show’s single braincell and now you’ve dropped it. I’ll give you a pass if you genuinely panicked.

-wtf henry pole your mother will hear about this

-The climax was very emotional...but ruined by the fact it’s total nonsense. Everyone in this show continues to be a total idiot. FINALLY we can be finished with the “not loving Mary” BS that should have lasted no more than 1 ep, if you had to do it at all.

-To be fair to the show, Mary comes across to me at least as traumatised, not as a gleeful baby tyrant. She’s not happy about men getting executed

-”My father cuts their heads off” it would have been such black comedy if koa was like “No darling, he won’t cut their heads off. Beheading’s for rich people”.

-please tell me you’re not hanging them by trapdoor method. The trapdoor method was invented in the nineteenth century.

-”grant them mercy” dude you said “they can die without me watching” so they’re probably all dead by now.

-”first time he’s agreed” I will give the show a tiny tiny benefit of doubt and say maybe they mean this particular pope?? Actually scrap that they probably mean all popes.

-This should have been Thomas More’s time to shine, IRL he was involved in the govt response to Evil May Day, (I think he even addressed the mob to get them to surrender to the king) which I assume this riot is based off of. But because he was also at the Field, and the showrunners forced these two events to happen simultaneously, the showrunners decided to keep him at the Field...doing nothing. 0/10.

-some lovely choral singing this episode.

#the spanish princess #i liked this ep more than ep 4 #but less than ep 5

how i, kiara heather-holloway, would plan and write the upcoming live action dylan dog tv show (thats being produced by james wan rn):

OKOK first off. my god. this has to be as comic accurate as it can be. this has to be better than the fucking movie or ill literally d*e oh my god. the movie was so bad and was only dylan dog in name and outfit.

he needs the clarinet. and not for one scene. gotta have that shitty car, hes gotta be broke, hes gotta live on that craven st, hes gotta have the fucked up doorbell nd hes gotta have that p*lice officer backstory (though i dont want them to go too full into the backstories of the main characters cuz that takes away from the main story of the episode, and is really just unneeded)

this shit will be set in london. but as for the time im kinda on a fence? its always had a timeless sorta feeling, esp as of late with the comics only now starting to establish itself in the 21st century, but i would really like for it to be set in the 80s cuz a lot of the classic comic stories r from the 80s and it would fit in with how old timey he is with his car and movie references

i hope they have the budget to actually get the rights to use groucho marx’ likeness cuz like... the biggest thing the movie was missing was groucho nd even though there was a little easter egg in the beginning of the movie with them dressed like him... it wasnt enough bro, it’s not the same without him :(

if they cant get the rights then i hope they go the felix route, by making him act like groucho and shit but hes not like.. actually groucho i guess

i dont know where this show’ll get distributed, but im hoping netflix, since a 10 episode format (which is what it was confirmed to be) would be perfect on there with all their other shows with short seasons.

im biased bc i love monster-of-the-week type shows but i think it would be perfect, since the comics are exactly that, where the story is self contained within its episode. i guess they could have some small overarcing story (maybe abt morgana and her tie to dylan?) over the season but idk how something like that could also fit in with the amount of story needed for the monsters and shit

id think itd be perfect if they adapted the first comic “dawn of the living dead” for the first episode of the series, since that comic is the introductory comic for dylan and groucho and how his shit works yknow? the audience could be like following sybil for that first episode as shes asking for their services and is just seeing their BullShit at close hand

idk about the rest of the series, but id love if they adapted the anna never story for an episode tbh

the tone id like for the show would be gothic, with european style of horror, but still crackheaded and bullshittery with grouchos and dylans antics and jokes. i hated what they did in the movie, making it a generic american action horror movie with the club scene of vampires vs werewolves. im so tired of vampires vs werewolves. let this represent european horror and bring that style into american culture Blease

idk who id cast for dylan. someone lanky, british accent definitely, early 20′s/25 maybe. i like brandon routh but hes too old for the part now u_u and honestly, though he kinda looked like dylan in face, he didn’t fit into dylans lanky profile at all. i hope maybe he’ll get a small cameo in the show tho😭 he got did so dirty by that shitty movie

the cast would be revolving, with only dylan and groucho and maybe bloch (if hes in the episode) being the main characters. the romantic interests and side characters for the specific story would last for the episode like in the comics.

this is just for me but id love for there to be a throwaway line about dylan and groucho being married at one point, to reference their marriage in the recent comics

also make the show rated r. i think the titties are the most important part of the comics

while id like for it to be set in london, id also like for it to travel to other places in europe, and take it to interesting scenery nd shit like they always do in the comics. idk how id feel about that one werewolf school story thats set in germany being adapted, but id like to see that german forest scenery lol

there needs to be a few groucho, la pistola! moments where groucho tosses him the pistol ok............also there needs to be the classic pistol

oh and dylan has to say dancing judas at least like 4 times ok .. god

umm for the effects of the monsters, i think itd be best if it was practical, rather than cgi. ive seen netflix’s cgi monsters nd while they work...... the practical effects i think would fit really well in the timeless/80s tone by being like various 80 horror flicks with their practical fx. since the comics were inspired by those classic horror films, like night of the living dead and shit

instead of making dylans personality be the cocky action hero that the movie made him out to be, i... would like for him to still be that jokey loner romantic that he is in the comics, getting himself into trouble cuz he accidentally slept with the monster or the killer or whateva.

like he’s smart with paranormal shit but he only has 1 braincell and neither him or groucho have it most of the time

oh my god i just realized i hadnt even thought of xabaras ok fuck uhhh OK maybe he is part of the overarcing story. maybe yes he gets introduced in the first episode like hes first introduced the in the first comic. but maybe in the end, with the finale he comes back again, after you thought he was dead but noo ho ho hes alliivee and hes always gonna fuck with you dylan you cant get rid of him. whatever fight happens in the finale, it ends in a sort of draw where maybe dylan thinks he defeated him for good, only for the final scene to be xabaras just chilling, clearly not dead, maybe watching over dylan

(if there was to be a season 2, id like for them to do the “i am your father” reveal then, instead of doing all of that in the first season)

(id actually really like for dylans backstory with the time traveling shit and morgana in the second season to be honest now that i think about it)

the first season can be about the monsters of the week and the second possible season could actually focus more on his character story and how he even got into this shit lol

this show really has the potential to be a really great show that breaks out of the usual horror genre and im going to be SO disappointed when it inevitably becomes like riverdale or sabrina the teenage witch’s unnecessary edgy teen adaptions OR just becomes the generic horror franchise shit that james wan usually fucking does with saw and insidious.

im really fucking praying that he actually pays attention to the source material and accurately brings the more gothic and european style of horror forward with it, introducing it to a larger american audience... blease for my sake .. i cant do dylan dog: dead of night (2010) again...

#cela talks #dylan dog #i made this for me but yall can read it too i guess #sorry if the readmore doesnt work on mobile im so fucking sorry #me saying all this as if it has a big budget.. u_u i know the shows gonna be cheap bro #but its still nice to think about :-)

nando datte, suki - analysis

reupload bc tumblr wouldn’t show the post in the tags (let’s hope it works now

the translation i’m going to refer is DenZero’s, which you can see here! i really recommend watching it if you haven’t already

this might get quite long, so it’s under the cut

the main reason as to why i’m adding this picture is because i’ll refer to it multiple times in this post because it raises a lot of questions. mainly “what the heck did you do, yuujirou?”. i’ve lost sleep over that question and so far everything i have is

absolutely nothing.

also, did you know 96neko voices the manager? did haniwa get her for those three lines or so???

ken’s definitely worried about aizou in this panel, no matter what koudai said. i wonder if he knows shibaken has a little brother. i wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t

following the train of thought from before, this might just be an excuse to check up on aizou, which makes me wonder if he saw this happen:

hiyori you shouldn’t just yell that. if i were you, i’d keep silent for a bit longer. you could have yelled, idk, “you’re the one in that pocky box!”. that is, if she remembers, which i don’t think she does. oh well.

also, did none of the girls who freaked out upon seeing him notice that he was covering hiyori’s mouth like that? the magic of being an idol i guess

does this imply that yuujirou has also been involved in one of aizou’s problems? i wonder in just how much trouble can two idols get in while still keeping their perfect image

this leads back to this post, where i mentioned how yuujirou does keep up with his nice boy persona for a while, yet aizou doesn’t even make eye contact

hiyori, dammit, you saw him being bailed out. i know he’s cute but you shouldn’t forget that so quickly. at least wait until you unlock his tragic backstory

that’s this girl right here!

i’m p sure she’s also the one on the second slide here. she’s a yuujirou stan, and it seems like she doesn’t really like hiyori… she stole her chance of living a y/n story so now she’s jealous

also not really related to this but i wonder how old is the aizou fan in that one post

and yeah, it looks like aizou doesn’t really like that they’re talking either. honestly what else could it be?

while at first it’s funny bc she totally has never heard about them, it might also be proof that they’re not as famous as they’d like to be yet? like they’ve still got a long way to go, and aizou might be a little bit down because of that. i’m definitely reading way too much into this though

i’m not a native english speaker and idk how accurate of a translation that is, but i find his word choice so funny. bumpkin girl. i know what it means but like?? i’m never heard anyone saying it before. i know it’s just me though

this post does a wonderful job of explaining a bit more into this, and adding this scene from yappa saikyou, i think we can confirm that his mother is not great

so yeah, don’t be too hard on him just yet, he’s like 16

no i don’t. tell me. what did you do, yuujirou? what will happen next? tell me, it’s been two years or so.

this is so funny i can’t even. that’s my favorite yuujirou drawing from now on. you did nothing wrong, hiyori, he’s just like that. they’re just like that.

can you imagine? i’d die of embarrassment if that ever happened to me. which it won’t, but still. how does it feel being y/n, hiyori? you’re the heroine of your own shoujo manga. or not, bc it’s been sooo long since we last saw her

anyway,

why did yuujirou get arrested? how will this evolve into a love triangle (if it even does)? will aizou and ken get along? i don’t know, but i hope we will!

#honeyworks #lipxlip #lip x lip #someya yuujirou #shibasaki aizou #suzumi hiyori #please tell me what you think!!!!#i want to hear your opinions #mr's midnight rambles

the long awaited wip graveyard post

i thought the title was fitting for halloween :p

this post is an assorted collection of all my old thaw wips that i deemed not good enough to post, but didn't want to just rot away in my folder, so now they're here.

enjoy !

the Eye post

fun fact: i used the same seven colored pencils for both the thes eye and the tommy one, i just made the grayer shades more emphasized for the latter. thought that was a neat little detail.

q's eye here makes his skin look a lil more purple

i impulsively gave quackity an eyebrow when i didn't sketch it before, and the way it turned out bothered me >:((

not a wip because i absolutely would never give this abomination its own post, but this is basically what my scratch paper sheet looks like when i want to test out how different colors look with each other, and also get a really, Really rough idea of what the final product will look like. this is the process i go through Every time i draw something serious. 😭

peep all 7 colors of the chaosduo's eyes under the thes eye practice

LMAO AND THE THES FACE 8 SECOND SKETCH LOOKS LIKE HE'S ON DRUGS IT'S SO SILLY

can you see me struggling to figure out how to wrap the rune around q's pupil? and also how to make the rune not just Completely disappear bc of how dark his eye is? yeah. traditional art is a pain is the ass sometimes, but i'm still wayy better at it.

also shoutout to @alexanderwesker for giving me an idea of what the rune on q's eye looks like, because i like being as accurate as i can when i draw stuff, so that was very much appreciated!

the part 2 to the hero's journey comic

i went fucking Ham during the hero's journey assignment, so much so that i literally planned like 19 more panels than what you saw in the original post (27 panels planned in total). but then i realized that i had like Four Whole Days to do that assignment, and would definitely not be able to do that many, especially not without burning out.

so i instead settled for the very first 8 panels that i planned (though even then, i had to abridge a lot of it, and also cut slime entirely from it, bc otherwise those 8 would have been 14 whole panels, and i think i would actually die-), since that was just enough to show two different steps of the hero's journey (crossing the threshold and meeting the mentor btw. i could probably do a whole analysis on how wesker's stories fit into the hero's journey if i wanted to, but i'm lazy rn and this post is already pretty long), and that was the big grading requirement. (i got 100% on that assignment btw 💪and my english teacher still has no clue that he graded minecraft fanfiction fanart LMAO) but this one is what i would have included if i had more time on the project, and could include more of the story, but as it stands, i made this one in my own leisure, because comics are fun to do.

anyways, with that little rant aside, i tried my best to make q look younger than quackity, and really accentuate the difference between them. idk how i feel about how q turned out though.

i'm really proud of the paneling, and i'm also kinda proud of the first frame with quackity's face in particular bc i thought it looked cool, like an actual comic book or something. but i couldn't figure out the card physics or perspective and that's what ultimately made me choose to abandon it 💔 maybe i'll try attempting this page again when i'm feeling more daring (as well as the other panels that i still haven't even drawn yet), but this wip has been collecting dust for a couple of months now so i figured i'd share it here anyway.

Palido

i drew palido a bit ago, but bro got somehow managed to get crinkled in my bag, even while literally being Inside of my sketchbook 🤨

it's not Too awfully noticeable though, especially bc the fold isn't On the drawing itself, so i might be able to salvage him and post a finished version someday... but i kinda halted progress on him for the time being bc of it, so here he is. </3

"Am I Still Even Me?"

i 1000% want to redraw this someday, just because i think the idea behind it is so fucking neat.

honestly, this one wasn't too bad at all, especially since i did all of it (besides the bones bc i think my health professions teacher would be disappointed if i got them wrong, and also the rune bc i care way too much about accuracy) without any reference, which is a pretty impressive feat for me and my aphantasia. but yeahh i think it could definitely be better, and really, this drawing was ultimately something that i just drew in class to keep myself busy for a bit bc i had way too much freetime that day. it wasn't intended to be post-worthy or anything.

but i think that the idea behind it is definitely post-worthy. maybe i'll even add a thes and/or youngerbur addition once i get more information about them and just how they've changed yk.

i had no clue how to draw the bones in that position, i probably could've done more research but. yeah no i don't have an excuse, i just couldn't be bothered that day lmao.

i was also gonna bloody q's hands a bit if i ever got to the coloring stage. like a little nod to when he lost himself to Madness. is the blood actually there? who knows, we're seeing it from his eyes, so for all we know, the rune isn't even lit up either, and he's just remembering it being so. remembering the moment he acted so unlike how he used to be.

the bones are definitely there for charlie though, poor guy...

also can y'all tell that i drew the rune in like. 5 seconds. bc yeah.

i had way more wips to share but i have literally no clue where they went, and also the tumblr picture limit is getitng close so ig that's all for now </3

like for a part 2 (whenever i accumulate enough wips to warrant a post, that is)

#i reserve the right to resurrect these wips at any time #so don't be surprised if one day you see a finished/redrawn version of any of these #thaw #the house always wins #fanart for a fanfic #my art #thaw fanart #wips #the house always wins fic #thaw!charlie #thaw!quackity #thaw!q #traditional art

Even numbers :}

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU CRAZY KIDDO I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND YOU’RE A BLESSING ON THIS WORLD!!!!!!

2: is your room messy or clean?

It’s kind of a mix?? Like I leave my clothes folded on top of the drawers rather than putting them away bc the drawers stick and it’s just easier access. The messiest thing about my room is that I’m a human magpie who likes collecting shiny/interesting things so I have a lot of stones and bits of metal or ceramic and some nuts and bolts lying around pffft. XD But mostly I keep things kinda tidy.

4: do you like your name? why?

I DO NOW!!!! :DDDDD

6: describe your personality in 3 words or less

uUUUuuHHHHHh well-meaning, stubborn, energetic! :D

8: what kind of car do you drive? color?

I currently drive my parents’ car. It’s dark grey… not gonna say what model. XD

10: how would you describe your style?

Like, clothes wise? Either very simple n plain or outrageously colourful n quirky. Depends on the day. XD

12: what size bed do you have?

40: how many times have you been to the hospital?

For myself, personally? Lots when I was a baby bc I had chronic ear infections and would literally just scream 24/7 and never sleep, I was in so much pain (poor tiny Matt. :(((( ) Once because I had a really bad migraine around age 13 that literally would not go away and had me throwing up every other minute and in such bad pain I wanted to literally die. And once recently when I felt super sick for months and months and finally went only to find there was nothing wrong with me?? turned out it was my gluten intolerance but dear god I had never felt that sick.

90: do you wash your face? at night? in the morning?

Just whenever I have my shower, occasionally during the day if I’m sweaty or whatever. Sometimes if my insomnia kicked me in the ass I splash my face n neck with cold water to wake up in the morning.

92: have you ever been drunk?

Nope, and I really don’t want to be. The idea of being out of control of myself, even just a little bit, is terrifying to me. No thanks. I also just generally do not like alcohol, idk why.

AMA Transcript: In The Silence I Hear You

Recently, @skadventuretime, @eerna (JoKay on Discord) and @amberlehcar stopped by to chat about their 2016 Resbang, In The Silence I Hear You! Here’s some of what went down:

Q: Okay, first of all thanks for single handedly getting me to finally watch YLIA lol! My question to madi is, what was the inspiration behind soul's nightmares? Because that was something I noticed was different from the source material! I mean, they were there but yours were way more nightmarish and horrifying lol! (That is absolutely a compliment by the way.) What made you go that route?

madi: ahahaha 1) You're very welcome, that anime Ruined me and one of the first things I did after watching it and Soul Eater around the same time was look for the AU, because surely it had to be a thing. When it wasn't, I was like welp, I know what I must do. As for the nightmare inspiration, it was part Soul having them in canon and part just what sort of came out of me as I wrote. It wasn't planned per se. I tended to sort of let what happened happen at those parts and just intuited nightmares there, though I did sort of intentionally have them stop as he began to open up to Maka more.

Q: I would like to know how Jo determines how many sparkles to put in an art piece for maximum heartbreak.

JoKay: Simply. I just really love sparkles and let them do whatever they want in my work.~~ BD

madi: OkAY. CAN I JUST FIRST SAY MY FAV THING ABOUT JO'S ART. Because the way she did the mirroring is incredible. Like, this is my desktop background. They go together so well:

Q: Favourite moment in the fic or about the art?

madi: I think my favorite moment was writing Soul beginning to get through his block. I ended up having a lot of fun with the over-the-top synesthetic music bits and that part was very heartfelt for me.

JoKay: Favourite moment in the fic: the hospital visiting. I wanted to illustrate it really badly and ranted to Madi like. For days. About all the ideas I've had. It was heartbreaking but colorful and vivid, and the way Madi writes the two is just.... ahhhhhIhhhHHHH

madi: And like, Jo paid attention to the little details?? ? ?? Like, his tie isnt tied there. I just threw in some little bit about how he thought his tie would be crooked since Maka wasnt there to help him and ladjglkdsfg. I forgot about it tho til I saw her art.

JoKay: You threw in so many little details that struck me and I thought "YES I WANNA MAKE THIS A PART OF THE PICTURE SOMEHOW"

Q: Care to talk a little about your process? What program do you use?

JoKay: Sure! I start off with rereading the text I want to illustrate about ten times. I die a bit and try to remember the feeling to capture it. I make a traditional pencil sketch. For the Maka picture I had to take some references of myself with a violin, which... took a long time to get right haha. Next I take a picture of the sketch and do lineart in an app called MediBang Paint on my Samsung. I choose a color palette, pick the bg color, and put down basic colors. I shade, then add multiply and overlay layers to add lighting, and this is where the final palette and overall feeling gets formed. And then, best for last, the sparkles! Which usually take 3-4 layers, depending on opacity I want.

Q: This was a difficult read (in the best way); what scene/scenes did you find most difficult to write?

madi: I ended up going back and rewriting a good chunk of the beginning third of the fic around November/December because it just wasnt getting at what I wanted, tone or writing quality-wise. I have a ~12k doc of dumped/scrapped stuff from this. /cries. But specific scene wise, hm. I agonized a bit over the hospital scene with Spirit a little, because I wanted that to hit a certain kind of helpless sadness where there is nothing you can do to fix anything.

Q: This had such emotional depth to it and lots of moving pieces of grief and accurate descriptions of guilt/grief that hit me hard. Was it hard to write something so emotional and was it as much of an emotional journey writing as it was reading?

madi: I guess, well. writing for me, and I think a lot of people, can be a very intimate look at who a person is, and I think that's where the guilt/grief came from. I tend to internalize a lot of that stuff, especially with the grief/regret/wistfulness, so I think that's where all that came from. And it's funny, it wasnt hard to write in the moment, as I was listening to a bunch of ridiculous music and yelling at/with Bones about her Resbang at the same time, but looking back I can definitely see a journey and it was as much because of the friends I made during this process as much as the act of writing. [For example], around the part where maka dusts off the piano, Bones came in with some Real Piano Experience and helped me understand what actually goes into that and how long it'd take for things to actually lose tone, etc. and I was like, heck, i didnt think about that, having not played a classical piano. Moral of the story is this is why betas are gr9. It's fucking sappy as shit, but it's true. I learned sO much about not just writing, but also life and irl shit from my betababes. Part of my Process turned out to be letting Bones throw me all sorts of cognitive dissonance shit and terrorize me with very emotional music, and then I'd mix a drink and get to it. I stg it felt like I was tripping balls when I wrote most of the music scenes, tipsy and listening to BT. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyGf2mTP2_Y).

Q: That golden swoop in her dress on the right side is what really kills me. That exiting feeling.

madi: So fun story: Jo sent me her second piece a few days before posting and I legit teared up.

JoKay: Handkerchiefs all over the place.

madi: All. Over. I also tried to sort of avoid the awkward love triangle in the anime bc i didnt feel like it really fit SoMa. Also, this is what me and Jo's convos looked like a lot towards the end:

Q: Adverb gate time?

madi: To explain adverbgate, basically, Bones came in and 1) made me realize I overused adverbs 2) this led to me realizing oH by not using them and applying better characterization things, all is better than the first time. I told all my betas, and part of the reason I asked who I asked, [was for them] to not hold back and if they saw something they thought was off or whatever, to tell me and not worry about hurting my feelings because i was in this to improve and learn. I'd much rather have it done like this, because now I really feel like I learned a lot and got better. Bones went from the 98 edits in chap 1 or 2, to 4 [edits] in the last one. And one of them was this: http://imgur.com/R3L4S9b

Q: I wanna know Amber, what made you decide to do a VA project? It turned out so freakin well and you guys were so good T.T

JoKay: The VA was so perfect, I teared up a bit. Beautifully done.

AmberLehcar: I was an amateur voice actor on YouTube prior to joining tumblr (good luck finding anything I was in though. /cries) And I'm a competitve asshole so I was like "I'm gonna be different."

Q: Anything in particular that made you choose that specific scene to do?

AmberLehcar: I asked Madi right away what she wanted. And it wasn't even written yet when I asked lol.

madi: Like, okay, when she sent me the first clips, I was blown away because they sounded better than over half the English dubs I've seen. Yeahhh I uh, I could have been more on top of things. But I knew that scene was gonna be in there and it sounded like the kinda emotional moment that would be good for her project, so I wrote that scene out of order.

AmberLehcar: I love it, it's so good. Madi was there while Brian was recording. She's a director now :3 She heard all the ridiculousness.

madi: You guys were soooo gooood! And your puppy, ahhhh. I still have that laugh track, too.

AmberLehcar: My pup wanted to be a star. I was so nervous [that] the piano bit was so bad people would hate it. It dragged so long. In writing it works so well. Listening, though...

madi: Man, you captured the transition well tho, of him slowly finding his sound and no longer needing to hear it through her.

AmberLehcar: Playing badly and repeating playing badly is tough, dude, so I'm glad it worked nicely.

Q: Did you make a public playlist of the stuff you listened to?

madi: OhH yes, yes i did /slinks off. Not fully included on there is the copious amounts of BT and Stuntin Like Mufasa I chainsmoked: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhw3nWRXdsh-jPe7SXHPy-NOT4-PtY1yt. I also feel obligated to note that Bones did play a p important role not only as beta, but as general conspirator/friend and writing mentor, and being free with her music trenchcoat.

Q: Jo, do you have any art/style/artist inspirations?

JoKay: Yeah! Artists that make my inspiration wander could be found on tumblr as viria, lukrecious, loish, mormoc, also IG mizymiyajima and cyarine. IRL I live for Alphonse Mucha's work.

Q: I feel like we should put an honorable mention for amanda's and zxanthe's contribution.

madi: YES, ZXANTHMANDA'S COVER OF HALLELUJAH WOUNDED ME SO PLS LET IT WOUND YOU: http://zxanthe.tumblr.com/post/157041732943/so-in-honor-of-skadventuretimes-resbang-in-the.

Q: How often do you draw, outta curiosity jo? I remember it being A Lot, but...

JoKay: Depends? If I'm not too busy with school I can make pages worth of sketches a day.

madi: Dark Jo, your sketch books are amazing.

JoKay: Madi, if you saw them, you'd change your mind. They're a hellhole of faint traces of suffering teens and stupid decisions.

Q: Are you working on anything else now Jo? What is on the Horizon?

JoKay: SfTF is the only fic in my opus! Idk I just don't feel confident to write anything else...

madi: (It is a Noragami MMA AU type deal >:))

JoKay: As for paintings... boy does The Lunar Chronicles' fandom have some stuff in store for them once I find the time. I will save up for a proper tablet soon, so that will be a new beginning for me.

madi: Man, the world isnt ready.

madi: I would also attribute this Resbang to teaching me that I apparently can't listen to tone-appropriate music while doing a scene, so that was a learning curve. I ended up with a bunch of upbeart mashups/disney rap during the sad scenes. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdSo1oY_GB4

JoKay: It was fun talking to all of you and listening to more behind-the-scenes discoveries of this great fic~

madi: I also wanna take a sec to be sappy again about everything I learned throughout this process from my partners and betas. Y'all are super swell.

Thanks to the creators for stopping by! That ends our AMA Transcripts for the Resbang season - thanks for reading and congrats to all of this year's Resbang participants :) We'll see you all in 2018!

Guardian of the Waters

In which the whole ‘guardian of the water’ thing is an actual spiritual connection and Lance gets pissed and p much goes avatar state yip yip

Very much inspired by a post that I now can’t find and link - Lance was a child of the sea or something?

Also some Pidge/Lance fluff bc I’m a sucker for this ship fight me

This mission is as flawless as my skin. Lance thought, trying not to look too smug.

The mission was going well, no hiccups or set backs at all so far. The team had gotten intel from the Blade of Marmora that Zarkon had a large base beneath the surface of an ocean on a fairly remote planet that was worth investigating. No intelligent civilization inhabited this planet, but there was still plenty of life beneath the waves.

The mission was to infiltrate the base, download every scrap of intel they could, then sabotage and destroy it, hopefully without the Galra knowing it was even Voltron that had done the deed. So far, everything was going smoothly. Coran kept the Castle in orbit while Allura piloted a cloaked pod with Shiro and Keith on the surface as backup if needed. Lance piloted Blue with Hunk and Pidge onboard down the the level of the base before they swam the rest of the way. They’d entered the base, Pidge had hacked the systems and downloaded everything she could, finding that this was a mining operation for a yet unidentified (because there was no translation for the name of whatever it was that they were mining) material, as well as getting more up to date charts of the sector they were in.

“Ok, Shiro,” Lance whispered over the comms, ��Pidge is done. We’re headed to the engine room to wreak some stuff.”

“Good work, Lance.”

Lance smiled at the validation, Shiro had seemed a little hesitant to put Lance in charge of this mission but, with Blue being the best suited to the environmental conditions, it made too much sense not to.

“I’m trusting you with this, Lance. Your lion is best in the water and so are you, but don’t let yourself get distracted.” He’d said, resting a heavy hand on the younger paladin’s shoulder.

So far, Lance had done just that. He was keeping his head and keeping his team on-task with efficiency that surprised even himself. See? I can do this!

As if on cue, as if the universe itself thought ‘Oh no, Lance thinks he’s doing well, better remind him he’s not’ a squadron of Galra drones rounded the corner and immediately opened fire. The three paladins dove for cover, Lance and Hunk drawing their bayards and returning fire as Pidge hacked the door to close it.

“That’s not gonna hold them for long!” Hunk said, looking for an alternate route.

“What’s happened?” Shiro’s voice.

Great, now you’ve done it, Lance! He’ll never let you lead another mission again. “Some drones caught us, we’ve been made.”

“The important part of the mission is already done, you’ve got the intel. We can destroy this place with the lions, get out of there.” Shiro ordered, but in a fairly reassuring tone.

“Copy.” Lance responded, already leading his team down a different hall. Plans may have gone awry but the situation wasn’t unsalvageable.

“Where are we going?” Pidge called as they ran.

“On the map of this place I saw that this hall lead to the outer hull, there’s probably airlocks we can use to get outside and if not then we can blast the walls and flood this place.”

“Good idea,” Hunk said, “But at this depth the pressure from the incoming water would wash us away from the open hole.”

Oops. “Not if Pidge uses her bayard to tether us!” Good save.

“If my bayard is strong enough to hold three people against a strong current!”

Good point.

“And what if the water is so strong that we can’t handle it?”

That too.

“Guys, come on!” Lance chided, his playfulness covering his own doubts, “Think positive!”

“As far as I see Lance’s plan is your best bet.” Keith offered dryly. “It’s a risk but so was this whole mission so I say go with it.”

“See? Even Keith agrees with me!” Mark this day in the calendar!

“Focus, team.” Shiro interjected, “Just get to the outer hull in one piece, hopefully Lance is right and there’ll be an airlock.”

There wasn’t. Strike two against Lance. Strike three was the fact that Galra drones and soldiers had headed them off and now had them pinned with virtually no cover save for their shields.

“Alright, plan B it is!” Hunk bellowed before focusing his fire on the wall behind the soldiers. Lance kept up cover fire, while Pidge snared and pulled the drones who dove before Hunk’s fire out of the way. They could hear the commanders shouting to stop them before they breached the hull when suddenly the entire back wall burst inwards, weakened enough by Hunk to give under the water pressure. Lance felt the line of Pidge’s grapple encircle his waist and pull him to the floor, where he and the others activated their full-face helmets and angled their shields to guide the initial torrent over them. It didn’t stop it from hurting but it was more than the dazed and now drowning Galra had.

Releasing them from her tether, Pidge activated her thrusters and made for the hole, which was still being forced open by the rushing water, with the others in her wake. It took most of their thruster’s energy to escape the current, which subsided only after the base’s emergency measures closed off all the bulkheads, stopping them from taking on anything more.

“Alright let’s get out of here!” Lance called, already trying to focus on Blue to get her to come meet them.

“We have a tail guys!” Hunk called just as rifle fire opened up from behind them.

Lance turned to see Galra soldiers in full submersive combat gear quickly gaining on them. He looked around wildly, desperate for some kind of cover. They were in the open ocean, a two to three minute swim to the surface, and an endless abyss beneath them. Nothing more than the rock face the base was built on to possibly hide in but it was behind the enemy line. Their thrusters weren’t as effective in water as the Galra’s and they were outgunned five to one.

Things can’t get any worse can they? Wrong. Things can go worse. And they always did. Always. To the effect of Pidge taking a hit directly to her helmet, cracking her visor and pushing her away from the other two. Hunk moved to cover her while Lance went after her, grabbing and steadying her.

Oh thank God! He thought upon seeing that her visor was cracked, but not fully breached. She looked at the crack, just barely masking her panic, then over to Lance.

“More complications guys,” Lance called over the comm, “Pidge’s helmet took a hit, there a crack but it’s not breached.”

“Head for the surface, now!” Shiro shouted, worry all too evident. “At your depth we have no idea how long it’ll be before that crack opens up, head up now we’ll meet you halfway.”

The three obeyed Shiro’s order, Hunk and Lance traveling backwards to over cover and return fire as Pidge swam ahead. She wasn’t the best swimmer, and in her rush to get to the surface went too far away from her cover, resulting in her taking a second hit to her helmet.

Lance spied the Galra that had shot her a second too late, he had a slightly different weapon from the others - likely a long range weapon to have made that shot accurately - and focused his fire on him, catching his shoulder. As soon as he saw that their sniper was out of commission he rounded and swam for Pidge.

Lance and the rest of the team called out to her but her comms were nothing but static from the water rushing through the hole. His body went numb as he fought against panic, seeing that she had started ‘climbing the ladder’ - a panic response that most drowning people go through when they’re close to blacking out. The words of the Medical Instructor at the Garrison echoed through Lance’s mind.

When they start climbing the ladder, it’s best to just let them drown or they’ll pull you down too, or try to take your helmet if you’re wearing one. They’re panicked, it’s not their fault, but it’s safer for you to let them drown, tow them to the surface, and revive them.

But this far from the surface? Could she be revived after the time it took to get her to air? The pod was now close enough to give cover fire but still. Would Blue get the message and come help? Red always came when Keith needed her, so why not Blue?

Lance was wrenched from his thoughts as a shot grazed his own helmet. It took a moment for him to recoup, the crack already being forced open and a small amount of water entering. Red alarm lights and signals filled his senses, and it took a moment for him to push the distraction aside and focus on helping Pidge.

He looked back over to her, and was immediately hit by the stark reality before him. The comms had gone entirely quiet, nothing but the sound of four paladins breathing.

Four.

In some panic-driven last ditch effort for life Pidge had torn off her waterlogged helmet only to find the tactic entirely unhelpful. Now she hung in the water, writhing slowly in fits and starts as the last bits of oxygen left her system, clutching her throat.

Heedless of his own predicament, Lance swam onward, determined to get to her as fast as possible. By the time he reached her she’d stopped struggling, he held her shoulder and turned her to face him, it took a moment for her thick hair to flow out of the way and reveal her face. His breath caught in his throat as he saw her stare blankly back, her once vivid and life-filled eyes now grey and dull, her mouth agape.

Time slowed as panic settled in the pit of Lance’s stomach, digging it’s claws deep into his gut. Numbness gripped his body and static filled his mind. He was only partially aware of the other’s cries, Hunk’s grief-stricken wail, a disbelieving choked “no” from Keith, Shiro desperately calling out “Katie!”, Allura and Coran having been stunned into silence. Lance held her close, ignoring the still advancing Galra forces, hugging her tightly.

“I’m sorry,” He choked out, not even the slightest bit aware of the rising water level within his helmet. He kept whispering to her, apologizing to her for not doing enough, until the water forbade his words. Unable to motivate himself to do anything else, he closed his eyes and buried his face in her shoulder, uncaring about his own impending fate.

***

Warmth. Peace. Tranquility. Ease.

This feels nice.

Wait, wasn’t I doing something?

I was underwater. I was…

DROWNING?

Pidge’s eyes snapped open and she looked around wildly for a moment, seeing odd reflections all around her.

Oh my God I’m still under!

But I’m breathing?

She took a second to calm herself, taking in her surroundings. Her head was in a bubble, some kind of air pocket that neither ran out of oxygen nor floated up to the surface like any other bubble would have. Was the bubble glowing? No, the soft blue glow came from beyond the surface of it. It took a moment for Pidge’s eyes to adjust to the flexing surface and see past it, and she found herself looking at Lance.

She gaped at the sight of him, his helmet was nowhere to be seen but his chest moved as though he was breathing just fine and he was - he was glowing! His eyes were filled with a soft blue toned light that also radiated from the rest of his body. He smiled at her, a soft and gentle smile that bore the gravity of sincerity he’d never before given her.

The moment was interrupted by the Galra, who’d hesitated in their advance upon the sight of Lance, but continued their fire. Pidge looked back to Lance to see every trace of the gentleness he’d exuded mere seconds before replaced by uncensored rage. The glow surrounding him intensified as his brow furrowed deeply, nose and lips wrinkling and curling into a snarl. With nothing more than a flick of his legs he shot forwards through the water at a breakneck speed, leaving trails of fine seafoam in his wake as he spiraled headfirst into the enemy. Flinging his arms forward, he directed the maelstrom he’d created around and ahead of him, into the Galra like a torpedo that sent them scattering.

He stopped perfectly in the water, righting himself, and stretched his hands out. Hard ice formed around the Galra’s thrusters, stopping their escape. Lance straightened his back, chest swelling and chin held high as the water around him swirled, pulling his foes into it’s current. Pidge’s hair stood on end as Lance spoke, his voice taking on some ethereal quality, as if hundreds of other souls were speaking with him, the sound echoed and reverberated around and through her so it was almost impossible to tell from where it originated.

“I am the sea. To those who ask I give life, and to those who take I give death!”

At these words Lance brought his arms inwards, flexing his hands as if holding something. The water around each Galra seemed to somehow harden without turning to ice, gripping them in a vice and encompassing them entirely despite their ardent struggles.

“Mine is the will of the waters! The waves heave in my rage! The current roils in my torment! You scar and wound me with your machines! You attack and take what is not yours! Those who do not respect that which is in my charge are crushed in my might!”

With this he clenched his fists and the enemy’s forces were enveloped in a large rush of escaping air, the drones surrounded by sparks, the soldiers by blood, as they were all simultaneously crushed into barely recognizable husks. Lance relaxed his grip, the corpses all so tightly compressed that they immediately sank. He advanced on the base, rushes of solid water forming around him before launching into and barraging the hull and supporting structures.

“Behold the fury of a thousand stolen lives! Feel the tempest that is my broken heart! I am the sea!”

Stretching his hands out once more, huge chunks of ice formed around the lower support beams, forcing the main portion of the base off the rock face and into the open water where it hung, awaiting it’s sentence.

“To the depths with you heathens!”

The hull crinkled, bent and gave way to the force and pressure hitting it from all sides. Water sought out every weak point to enter through, creating enormous holes and breaches. Fatal screams were literally drowned out by the onslaught of water within the mining base as the ice keeping it suspended broke free, letting it finally sink into the black abyss.

Pidge watched on, shocked and awed at the sight, as Lance was surrounded by the last air bubbles from the fallen Galra base. She found she couldn’t move as he turned and swam to her, at that same impossible speed that he’d gone on the attack at, but when he reached her there was no trace of what had just occurred in his countenance. That smile from before had taken it’s place again and he reached out to his side, looking over as the current he’d summoned brought Hunk close. He gestured below them and an ice raft formed, driving them up to the surface, where they were met the pod bearing Allura, Shiro and Keith a second later. Now safe and at the surface, the bubble around Pidge’s head popped and the gentle sea breeze ruffled her damp hair, filling her senses. The sound of a soft sigh from behind made her turn to see Lance’s knees give under his own weight and he fell limply to the ice.

***

PIDGE!

Lance sat bolt upright and practically screamed before his forehead collided roughly with Pidge’s. Both paladins fell backwards, groaning and nursing what would come to be large bruises.

“Ow! Lance!” Pidge complained, sounding not nearly as annoyed as she ought to have been.

“You- You’re ok!” He breathed, still rubbing his head and looking around. He was on the couch in the common room, the rest of the team present and looking at him with an odd mixture of relief and… awe? Fear?

“What happened?” Lance asked, “Last I remember Pidge and I drowned! Did you guys get to us in time?” He looked over at Shiro, who only shook his head.

“Wasn’t us,” Keith said, offering Lance a viewing tablet “It was you.”

Lance watched the recording in wide-eyed silence, it was a compilation of shots from Hunk’s and the pod’s recordings, dependent on who got the better angle at the time. The way he moved through the water, seemed to breath it and control it. His voice.

“I-I don’t remember...” He looked beseechingly to Allura, “What happened?”

The Princess sat down on the far end of the couch and took a breath before speaking.

“You connected with the Spirit of the Waters.”

“I what?”

“Little is known of the nature of the Spirits, how they work and the like, but what I do know is that you have done something quite remarkable for someone with no training in the area. The Spirit of the Waters is a highly emotional being, prone to intense mood swings and bouts of high activity followed by eons of tranquility. Your naturally sensitive nature and the intensity of emotion you felt in the moment caused you to give way t-”

“Give way to the torrent.” Lance murmured, vaguely remembering hearing something say that to him before he blacked out.

“Yes.” Allura eyed him carefully. “But you must be wary, the Spirit of the Waters emotions can lead to ill-advised actions and decisions. You’re lucky there was a clear and immediate goal to achieve when it took hold of you, otherwise untold havoc may have ensued.”

“Oh, ok, I think I got it.” Not in the slightest. Not even a little bit, but he’d figure it out eventually. Right?

A wave of lightheadedness hit Lance and he swayed despite still being seated, reaching out to steady himself.

“Easy there,” Shiro said, putting his hands on Lance’s shoulders and gently pushing him down. “You may have been breathing the water just fine but there’s a lot a salt still in your system from it, you need to rest.”

“Yessir.” Lance mumbled, laying down again and focusing on breathing through the dizziness.

After that the team left him to sleep, but he found he couldn’t, his mind was racing after everything he’d seen. He grabbed his personal tablet and watched the recordings. From every angle, at varying speeds, pausing, rewinding, even playing some sequences in reverse, all to get a better understanding of how this happened. He unerringly skipped every shot wherein Pidge was still drowned though.

“You couldn’t sleep either huh?” Lance hadn’t even noticed the warmth on his shoulders as Pidge had encircled him in her arms and rested her head beside his, but her voice startled him enough to bolt upright again. Her grip on him didn’t yield though, and she was pulled over the arm of the couch and onto the seat behind him, still hugging his back. He relaxed his shoulders, craning his neck to look at her, but she’d reached into her pocket to pull out her own personal tablet. She held it in front of him, flicking on the screen to show a paused video from the pod’s recording. A zoomed in image of her drowned body in his arms.

“Press play.” She whispered.

He did, and watched as he began to glow. He moved his hand around Pidge’s torso and a bubble formed around her head from the water that was previously in her lungs, and she snapped awake.

Pidge reached out and paused the video again. “You didn’t just save me, Lance.”

He looked over his shoulder at her, and caught her glistening eye.

“You brought me back.” She breathed shakily and buried her face in his neck so he couldn’t see the tears.

He turned to her, snaking an arm around her and pulling her close, feeling her quiver. After a moment she settled and curiously looked over at his own paused video.

“I just want to know how i did it.” He said quietly, then, thinking better of it, told her the truth. “It just scares me that there’s this power I apparently have but know nothing about. Like, what if I accidentally hurt someone? You saw how quickly and easily I dealt with those Galra, I mean what if-”

“Lance don’t be an idiot.” Her dry tone stopped his anxious thought dead in their tracks. “You’d never do that, the whole reason you got that power was because you wanted to save me.”

At those last words she blushed slightly, brushing it off by grabbing Lance’s tablet and playing the point at which he’d said “Those who do not respect that which is in my charge are crushed in my might”.

“You were lead on that mission. We were the ones in your charge, Hunk and me.”

He sighed, knowing she was right but still uneasy about the whole thing. She chuckled softly.

“What?”

“Look at this.” She’d skipped to a point between Lance’s maneuvers and paused on a perfect image of him dabbing. Lance burst out laughing, and it took a moment for him to quiet down for the sake of the other sleeping paladins.

“See?” Pidge laughed, “Still you.” She leaned against his chest and looked up at him, causing Lance to subtly realise that she was, essentially, sitting in his lap. Well not really, like she wasn’t on him per say because one of his legs was dangling off the couch and the other sort of curled around her but she was sitting directly in front of him and close enough to be basically on him so did it count? Lance shook himself from his awkward internal ramblings.

She was staring at him.

He was blushing.

So was she.

Oh no.

Luckily Lance had ample practice getting out of intensely embarrassing moments by shifting attention, so he did just that by pulling up a training recording from last week in which Hunk literally sat on Keith. They both laughed and for the next few hours took turns showing each other embarrassing or otherwise funny clips of the team. The mice braiding Shiro’s white fluff after he’d dozed off in his room - Platt had gotten Hunk to take the picture - Keith getting frustrated because he’d trimmed one side of his mullet too short, Hunk trying and failing another Altean recipe. After a while Lance finally looked down at Pidge only to find that she’d fallen asleep, still leaning up against him.

She fit against him so comfortably, so at ease in his presence. Granted he was such a touchy person she’d had to just accept being physically close to him because he’d not given her a choice. She was so small. No. Smol. Very smol. The perfect smol salty bean. She was so smart too, always thinking up new ideas and not just thinking about them but actually implementing them! And she loved her family so much, as much as he loved his own.

Lance felt himself melt over her, leaning both of them back on the couch and getting comfy as he couldn’t bear to wake her. He was about to close his eyes when he decided against it, not until he’d done this one thing. His tablet was out of reach so he grabbed hers, unlocking it easily as he’d seen her passcode. He opened the front camera, and held it up, snapping a picture of a relaxed and sound asleep Pidge leaning against a gently smiling Lance. He pressed the ‘send to’ button and took a moment to chuckle at her alphabetized and colour-coded contact names.

Bloo Boi

Hunky Chunky

Keef

Mustache

Prinsass

Zero to Shiro

Pressing on his own name, he sent the picture to himself, then deleted it off her device and set it down.

He pulled the blankets up around both of them and rested his head on hers and closed his eyes.

“Don’t worry, I’ll always look out for you, Katie.”

im just tlaking about an oc here press j

i love platano

jkhgfdghjk i love platano so much he’s a good oc villain who loves anime kjashg he murders for satan bc he sold himself into servitude for a couple mangas (both the same series skjdfghjkl) and a new season of the hit new anime Big Anime Tiddy Whizzer kjhgfhjk

he love anime and i respect that bc i want to really love anime like platano does like dfsjhhgjkl

he has a cat even and it’s actually a neko she just keeps it in disguise n stuff and platano is just shook once he finds out because he was looking for nekos and was like “are u a neko in disguise???” to random cats on the street honestly idk how people didn’t find him so weird and idk how he managed to move in with Mangue, murderer of the old fruit-based character leader and now the leader of them

platano IS based off bananas askjfdgjhkl im just big love for bananas and yes i love platano platano best sdgfhg i even wrote his own little story for jsut him and him being gay there’s 1 part i’m currently writing with another oc named arcenciel who i also love a lot

r.i.p. eau and percisi also good ocs but they just don’t get as much love as platano and arcenciel kjhsghjkdlh

eau ocean man and percisi satanic anime lover friend of platano heehee

percisi is like the only straight oc skdfjhghfdghj ofc he’s an ally and supports platano and he’s like 4 years younger than him

also platano ruined how i spell platonic bc i keep wanting to type platanic or platano jhgsdfghjk

he’s very very very much in love with both his friend arcenciel and his other friend who he got into anime sage he very very very very VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY MUCH LOVES SAGE kjhgFDGHDSKJFGhjkl hhgjh (sage is my friend kiley’s oc who she made for UMG/NOU it was originally just gonna be a ponytown cult for like 1 week but nope full on writing)

just... y e s

sage’s adoptive fathers probably also ship it bc they’re like , ,, , “sage r u sure he’s not ur boyfriend”

oh yeah and arcenciel learning to accept himself as gay by hanging out and talking to sage’s adoptive dads lyle and chris is 10/10 i love best idea i’ve had me congratulations

onto eau he’s ocean man and uhhh he never gets enough attention from me jksghhjkdg he waso riginally gonna be nonbinary (agender ) but i decided to make him male bc.... ocean man kjhgf i know you can be agender can call urself a man i’m a girl and i like calling myself male things (aka “dad” or “mr” or uhhh “brother” sjkhdgjk)

yeah good boys

OH YEAH!! WORTEL!! good sassy guy he’s very uhhh how u say tsundere maybe idk kjhgfhjkl i just started writing him up in NOU like weeks ago but i haven’t written much with him

i want wortel to have like a crush on this other character named celian sgdhfhfhgdsaa and by the way these two dudes are veggie-based characters just pointing that out

i just imagine celian like saying some shit in french and wortel being like “haha ik what u said” and then saying something very very gay in dutch and celian being confused because unlike wortel, he doesn’t speak 3 languages (dutch, french, and english)

whenever i write them speaking in another language i use google translate i only really know “JE SUIS UNE BAGUETTE” in french and some other small things but that’s the best thing i know and idk any dutch whatsoever besides wortel being like “carrot” heehee kjdfsfkl

here’s some drawings of my good boys

platano and arcenciel’s redesigns heehee jkhgsdjkl

the reason why i ship platano and sage is because platano drew this hot art 100% good art and also platano like,,, drew a lot of diary entries on sage ksdjhgjkl

i p much just uhh drew them whenever kiley revealed a new fact about him skjgdhjkl

percisi the only cishet here is, of course, an ally because literally everyone’s LGBT in umg/nou

wortel the carrot dude

a joke i drew of eau

eau’s first drawing bc i love eau he’s good

jksfhkl

gay thumbnail for a video i made where platano and sage actually kiss sdgfhdsfa

i tried drawing him with long long LONG legs earlier u probs saw that drawing

accurate drawing of before the breakup where arcenciel was dating ilkie and kept saying he wasn’t gay despite being in a relationship with another boy arcenciel that’s bad :(((

oh yeah and i drew platano’s dad here’s his dad named Pablo he fucked a banana and then abandoned the banana peel with semen n stuff in it and somehow the banana peel got pregnant

here’s the lady who saw a fat af banana and thought “hey. it’s a baby. let’s take this fat pregnant banana into my house and care fore the offspring.”

arcenciel’s parents heehee skfjhgjkl they were uhh in a poly relationship i guess?? idk i just think maybe what if instead of a poly it’s like straight relationship baby breakup and then woah another baby?? or maybe poly where the lady over there to the right cheats on them with no other than platano’s dad himself and that’s why platano’s dad works at arcenciel’s hat shop where he sends the hats he made by machine and enchanted with his magic bc he can only enchant hats for some random reason

eau of course has water powers and uh hh h h yea

the fruit/veggie-based characters can summon their respective foods

platano is really good at summoning bananas bc he’s like,,, half banana

jhgfdsfghjkl uhhhhhhhh yea i think that’s all i wanted to say i just love my ocs fkjsdhgsjk

OH WAIT

arcenciel and platano’s maybe half sister i still don’t know whether or not arcenciel’s mom should go off and fuck platano’s dad maybe just smooch him a bit and not have a fucking daughter skjdfhgfdfghjk
