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

so @cookieg122 and I have been playing Stardew Valley again, since the game updated somewhat recently and we wanted to try it out. we decided to play as Antony and Bevin this time (feat. a VERY baby Antony), and came up with the idea that the brothers also exist alongside Khalan and Aya from our previous Stardew AU ;o;

so I had to draw a small interaction between little Antony and Aya as a result! we have a running joke that Antony loves worms (i.e., the little artifact spots in the ground) and the kid just wants everyone else to appreciate them too, but Aya is Not Having It. haha!

Aya Armas belongs to @cookieg122. please do not repost. (reblogs are ok) also on deviantart

First date idea : I ask you very ‘obvious’ questions about morality like “Why do you think murder is bad?” and get to gauge your emotional intelligence, the depth of your beliefs and where you stand as a human overall.

my favourite writing device is having an un-Rei-liable narrator

[pixelatedraindrops]

Yuma Month: Day 10: Memories

…but there were none to think of…

[frameconfessions]

I hope the protoframes remain relevant even after this story arc for the Drifter concludes, but I also recognize how complicated things would get with how many characters they could keep trying to make stay relevant, leading to a Konoha 13 Naruto type situation where we have too many relevant characters from Umbra & Ordis all the way to Kaya Velasco.

Silver going to Amy and asking for help to make the best chilidog ever to Sonic, meanwhile Sonic travelling the world and all the dimensions he knows to find the best caramelized apple to Silver

(I misclicked on "send ask") Hope you get better soon ^_^

Thank you ^-^ I've definitely been more miserably ill before than I am now, so that is something! Taking it very easy right now, with a lot of time spent in bed to recharge and some crocheting happening🍀

I do actually have a scene in my Sonilver fic where Sonic gets Silver a caramelised apple, and one wherein Silver makes him a chili dog in turn; it's just with Tails instead of Amy, but close enough, haha! You predicted that very nicely :> I envision Silver lives kinda out in the wild in a hideaway: in my fic he doesn't have a house (I just can't envision him having one XD But if he needs a house, I think he'd have a treehouse! <3), so he only ever cooks on a campfire or something similar. So Tails has his hands full transferring "making chili on a stove" to "on a campfire" to help Silver out! Sonic in that regard has it easier: he just buys a caramelised apple in the city Silver lives close to and gets his appies from, so he's guaranteed that Silver will like it <3 But Sonic would 100% travel all over to get more appies for Silver so he can try them all out, because Sonic is just nice like that. Though, I don't think Silver would easily pick a favourite; he's probably happy with all of them because Sonic got them for him <3

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

Every day I am haunted by the fact JJK could be amazing but it will be just idk Bleach or something

[my-world-my-stories]

New lore drop for the Yautja verse! Specifically, the clan from which my Yautjas come from!

The Red Jungle clan

Named after their particular environment where a specific tree grows in abundance, called the Crimson Spills, due to the bright scarlet leaves it grows all year and the red resin it produces, which can appear like blood to the untrained eye. This in turn creates thick vegetation that's mostly colored red and even the river that passes through their territory can have shades of ruby colors due to minerals in the soil. 

As a result, a lot of Yautja that hail from said clan have red scales or accents of it, which is quite eye-catching, but they make up for their lack of camouflage with their strength, fiery spirit and cunning hunting strategies.

It is said that if you give birth or bathe a newborn pup in the waters of the Ruby river, their scales will turn red, but that's more or less just a myth. 

Wy'ld was born into the clan by Kuuma (Sire) and Wuut'ka (Bearer), which are also life mates and they raised her together. However, Sam'wa and Sav'kat were adopted into the clan.

Sam'wa parents are Ther'va and Zan'ab, two males who are also bonded for life and are Ex-Enforcers, who left their team to raise her. They are still called upon occasionally to take care of 'special tasks' for Elites. Sam'wa original bearer died because of a Bad Blood and that's how the two found themselves adopting her. When they settled down into the clan, Wuut'ka is the one that taught them how to look after pups and that's how Wy'ld and Sam'wa ended up growing together almost like sisters.

Sav'Kat original clan almost got wiped out due to a Bad Blood attack, until the Red Jungle clan intervened to look for survivors. Sav'kat original sire was a very close friend of Kuuma, and they made each other a promise to look after their pups if something were to happen to the other, so he adopted the little one without hesitation. Along with a hunting hound, which protected the pup during the attack. And that's how Wy'ld and Sav'kat became adopted siblings.

Bonus fact: During mating season, the males purposefully dye their 'quills' red to make themselves look more attractive to females and show their rank. The redder the hue is, the more status they have. The red dye is made by mixing the leaves and resin of the trees into a paste or by grinding into dust the rocks in the river bed.

(This takes inspiration after the Bearded Vultures in RL, who are known for also coloring their feathers in red mud for still not very clear reasons, but the look sick as hell)

Ok so because I was rewatching Disney and DreamWorks imagine if Ratonhnhaké:ton was in like a musical, kind of like Hamilton but in real life. I don't know how that will work and I'm slowly losing cells so yeah : P

“There is something you must know before you leave.” The clan mother, his grandmother, spoke solemnly.

Ratonhnhaké:ton stared at her and waited for her to continue.

She was giving him permission to leave their village after all. The least he could do was heed her warnings and take her words to heart.

“These white men have a curse placed upon them.”

“A curse?” Ratonhnhaké:ton repeated with a frown.

“Yes, they are slaves to the music only they hear.” She explained, “We know not why it is so but they would be taken in by the desire to sing and be unable to resist it. No matter the place or the time, when they hear the music, they must sing.”

She stared at her only grandson as she continued, “Your mother and I… we were worried that you have gotten their curse but not once have you ever shown to bear the same curse as they have. That might change once you walk among them.”

She must have seen the disbelief that he was trying to hide for she sigh as she said, “You must be careful, Ratonhnhaké:ton. Who knows what this curse truly entails. We can never be certain that this curse is not simply the inescapable call of music.”

“I… understand.” Ratonhnhaké:ton nodded, “I will be careful.”

The clan mother knew that Ratonhnhaké:ton didn’t truly understand but she said nothing, only telling him to be careful.

He will understand soon enough.

.

Unorganized Notes:

So my idea is that the Europeans are the ones hit by this ‘curse’. They’re compelled to sing whenever they hear the music and it happens a lot. The natives see this and are like “???” but to the colonizers, it’s just… par of the course.

This does mean those who weren’t born or raised in the parts of Europe like Adéwalé do not sing. He does sing with the crew when it’s sea shanties but any dance number and such? Nope, he was the ‘straight dude’ in the Jackdaw.

This means that Achilles also doesn’t sing so he’s able to tell Ratonhnhaké:ton how it looks and feel like to give him a head’s up.

The Kenways, Edward, Haytham and even Jenny, usually sing very dramatic songs. It shows as the kind of “find my freedom and goal” uplifting songs for Edward, the whole “I want to be me” kind of songs for Jenny and the “villain song that is always the best song in the album” type of songs for Haytham (bonus points for Haytham having his own Gregorian chant backup singers to connote his Templar background).

Ratonhnhaké:ton does not sing but… he does hear the music.

If you want to turn this into a Hamilton crossover, go ahead. That means Ratonhnhaké:ton has to deal with Hamilton’s… everything whenever he has to talk to Washington XD

Whatever is making them sing sees Ratonhnhaké:ton as ‘part’ of the ensemble so you get scenes like Haytham singing a duet with Ratonhnhaké:ton but Ratonhnhaké:ton does not know the lyrics and would rather strip naked and run away from wolves all night long than sing.

The same thing happened to Charles Lee but Ratonhnhaké:ton was busy beating the crap out of him.

The whole confrontation with Washington, Haytham and Ratonhnhaké:ton ends with Haytham and Washington singing with some ‘dead spaces’ here and there where it’s clear that it was Ratonhnhaké;ton’s turn to sing.

The music in the homestead are always jolly (unless something bad happens) and they always include Ratonhnhaké:ton. Unlike the other times, they don’t try to make Ratonhnhaké:ton sing and Ratonhnhaké:ton just joins in the festivity more or less. Achilles takes the ‘I’m the grumpy one who doesn’t sing’ part in these musical numbers instead.

… Haytham definitely sang a very embarrassing love song that was meant to be a duet to Kaniehtí:io. Kaniehtí:io was amuse. Haytham was embarrassed.

Why are the colonizers singing? Isu BS. Apollo, Bragi and Meret got super drunk and fucked up the ‘latest’ batch of humans to be processed for shits and giggles. They ran away before Yaldabaoth saw them and he’s been so overworked that he just… didn’t give a shit and sent these batch as is.

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?
