Writing a character with multiple pronoun sets be like:

broke: pronouns change based on wanting to cycle through the ones the characters uses

bespoke: pronouns change based on what makes it easier to understand which character is being talked about

Folks, if you would kindly take some time to pray for me over the next three or so days. Midterms are hitting pretty hard.

Decided to take a small break from Art Fight (combination of sudden bad internet connection + slight burnout) so I made a little midnight shitpost to not get rusty hhhh So here we got more shenanigans: -Skitty is deeply afraid of spiders, her friend Scarlette owns a pet tarantula named "Helix" that she likes to tease her with. RIP those support beams. And my understanding of perspective LMAO -Blade does absolutely speak in keysmash. :^) -Did I ever tell y'all about the time I had an OCxCanon ship of my own? Except the only OC I had almost 11 years ago during my early DeviantArt days was Skitty and uh. Yeah. While it's obviously not canon anymore, it's still something I like to poke fun at every now and then. xD

Yuma Month: Day 10: Memories

…but there were none to think of…

From @zero-saito

shrieks I love this!! Yes to cat desmond and potentially everyone being reborn as cats! Desmond shenanigans and clay getting blamed for all of it!! The epic love story of the 2 sassiest men in the franchise! Also altair low key wants to steal desmond cause catmond is his favorite. Do you think he’ll figure out desmond was human once with the apple? Or maybe desmond tries to steal it and give altair a break only for it to out him with an illusion of his human form mirroring the cat?

It would be funny if Clay could only understand Desmond the cat while the other cats Desmond brings are actually reincarnation of other Assassins of various timeline. They remembered they died but they have no idea why they’ve been reborn in the 3rd Crusades as cats and some are super confused because they died centuries after the 3rd Crusades.

To add more weirdness, there is something that stops Desmond from telling Clay about the real identities of the cats he brings. He just… keeps forgetting to tell Clay. Even when one of the cats reminds him there and then to tell Clay, he would nod at the cat but then forget it soon after.

It’s weird and they believe that it’s some kind of Isu bullshit at play.

This also frustrates Desmond to no end because this very same ‘curse’ seem to stop him from touching the Apple. Every time Altaïr uses the Apple in Desmond’ vicinity, he just starts hissing and growling, fur sticking up and tail puffing. It gets to the point that Altaïr stopped bringing out the Apple when he sees Desmond because he doesn’t want to agitate (make the cat angry at him) Desmond.

Whatever this curse is… it’s stopping him from communicating with Altaïr about who he is as well.

Ezio the cat is really Ezio and he’s unofficially Clay’s favorite because Desmond is a little shit to Clay.

But the others were not so lucky.

Shaun? Yeah, that one’s Evie and she’s a girl cat. Clay knew she’s a girl cat and still called her Shaun.

Becs? You guessed it. That’s Jacob and he’s a guy cat. He doesn’t mind. He’s still smug about being born three months older than Evie this time around (“We’re not even twins anymore so it doesn’t count” “We are still twins in our hearts. You will always be my family, Evie.” “Jacob…” “And that is why this totally counts.”)

Oh. And Clawdia? Totally Arno. XD

Time traveler Clay X Malik, but no one realizes they're 'involved' because their love language is passive-aggressive, snarky insults to each other.

The funniest part of this is that Clay and Malik are in a committed and healthy relationship, there’s no pining or even misunderstanding on either side, they’re just in a stable relationship and they’re not even hiding it. They just don’t like to show any PDA because they’re both private persons and even if Clay calls Malik ‘honeybunny’ and Malik calls Clay ‘the bane and the love of my life’, everyone just assumes they’re being sarcastic and they are, it’s just that sarcasm is their love language to one another and they have this ongoing ‘war’ of calling each other the most embarrassing pet names they could think of as some kind of foreplay.

Then we have the only person who actually realizes they’re in a relationship: Altaïr.

At first, he just ignores it because it’s none of his business.

Then he gets annoyed that everyone can’t see it so he tells them but all he gets ranges from people worrying that he doesn’t understand how love works to people teasing him because of how ‘wrong’ he is.

And the clincher is that Malik confirms it and Altaïr just had to ask why Malik is now confirming such a thing so Malik stares at Altaïr as he says:

Hey... what's your favourite urban legend or ghost story?

[danwhobrowses]

Okay so I was gonna do a big gush over all the new Bells Hells outfits on the recent cr episode (a surprise since I had expected that they'd show them for the live show), but instead I'm gonna encourage you to check out @agarthanguide who is answering asks about the process of designing them, they're very insightful, and I'm sure they're more than happy to answer more - within reason ofc.

Imagine Egg A1 still has one life left, and it somehow manages to escape the facility... It is being followed by mobs, by Federation employees, being hurt by the poison ivy and other environmental threats, but it keeps running, because what other choice is there? That parkour course was a trick after all, the last block was a fake, it was never meant to pass that test in the first place.

So it keeps running, but the Federation workers are getting closer. It won't be able to avoid them forever...

But then it bursts through some bushes and comes face to face with someone new - and it's Bad, out building or exploring or just wandering alone. A1 is immediately afraid, of course. It is a stranger, a very visually striking stranger, the complete opposite of the pure white and featureless employees of the Federation. But there are people close behind, and it knows what will happen to it if it is caught, so... It has no choice but to try. It has no way to communicate, no signs or books, so it simply rushes to hide behind him and hopes he understands, and that he is willing to help...

And Bad, for his part, well.. he's an extremely cautious and paranoid person, and this is just an incredibly confusing and unexpected situation to be in. An unknown egg appeared out of nowhere and is hiding behind him, he can see Federation employees in the distance that are clearly looking for something... He knows that the code has been disguising itself as eggs, and that the strange egg in front of him with no marks, no distinguishing features, an egg that he has never seen before, could easily be the code monster preparing to attack at any moment...

But there is absolutely no way Bad could ever look at an egg in distress and not try to help it, even knowing it could be a trap.

So he quickly digs a shallow hole and pushes the mysterious egg into it, covering it up just in time, and when the employees throw him a book asking if he had seen anything, he lies effortlessly, he complains about nonsense, he asks them where the Ekea is and is as annoying as he can be, until they leave.

And now they're alone... just Bad an this mystery egg in the middle of the woods, A1 too afraid to leave the hole even when Bad tries to coax it out. He gives it food and tries his best to comfort it, to tell it everything is okay and that the pursuers are gone. He gives it some signs and a book, trying to see if it will write anything to him or answer any of his questions, but he gets no reply. A1 is just too afraid to even attempt to answer, and Bad doesn't even know if it understands him. He tries what few words he does know of the other languages, and still no response.

What should he do? As much as the image of a tiny, terrified egg makes him want to do all he can for it he also needs to be safe. He can't bring it home, because if it is a code there is no way he is bringing it anywhere near Dapper. Should he call someone else for help, or would that draw too much attention? Would it even be safe for him or the egg to let anyone know right now? And was this egg dangerous, or harmless and in need of protection? He wouldn't abandon it regardless but...

What now?

The willy nicky letters are so funny 😭

"I like you so much xoxo but also tf was that with your naval officers spying on me 🙄 that is very naughty and rude"

[lazzarella]

It's still so funny to me that no one reacts at all when Tan introduces Fang as his future boyfriend, but then they all lose their minds when he accidentally calls Fang 'teerak' in front of everyone else. Like, guys, he literally told you he was going to be his boyfriend! You should've listened 😜
