#but for now enjoy ahhh

[thevikingwoman]

It's your turn!! Tell me about your current ship ❤️

Thank you friend!!

Let me gush a little 💜

FFXIV is pretty vast, a 10 year old MMO, so there's lots of people and content and some of it is - stuff you pass by and move to the next area and so forth. Your main character is a capital-H-Hero, and thier personality is left pretty open.

Along the way there are lots of interesting characters, but I ended up really liking the personality of a very minor one - the second-in-command of a group of "pirates" that "taxes" ships passing through your waters - the group end up helping you along the way. He was sort of pragmatic and a bit snarky and I decided Meryta needed a flight with him, and then I had a random thought of them meeting again, and then, well, it kept building.

it's very interesting to me, because so many people you meet along the way are both very impressed by you AND ask you to help fight whatever is the latest worldthreatning thing. Of course the pirate doesn't, in fact he kinda snarkly blames you for bringing problems to them.

I really enjoy the dynamic that I, tbh mostly made up since he has so little content in vast game - a place for her to not be a hero, to be herself. And someone who also challenges her, and what her friends ask her to do. It's a relief? Deep down he got a bit of a caring and protective instincts, the pirate group is very much protective of each other.

on the other hand, she brings a lot of freshness to him. Canonically he's in his late 30s and I bumped in up a few years for some unrelated headcanon reasons, and he's just been doing his things for a long time.

there's something very compelling to me about them; she's young and powerful and he's older and more experienced, but holds a significant amount of power.

how do you deal with being some (criminal) guy, when your girl friend is God's Chosen One?

I have a lot thoughts about what may happen in the future i'm very excited to write about.

also. he's kinda handsome

100 FOLLOWERS MILESTONE!!! MER AU!!!

Y'all chose the MER AU to celebrate, and so say hello to some fishy boys! They are all quite happy to see you, though some seem to show it more than others!

Cookie cutter shark Sun can't wait to take a bite- I mean- erm- rather a hug out of you! Either way he's quite excited!

Threadfin Eclipse would rather all eyes be on him, but he would settle for just yours! His colors shifts in every way, he's hoping your eyes won't stray!

Jellyfish Moon doesn't mean to be so imposing -- towards you anyways. He just wants to see you and everyone happens to be in the way!

This is technically a PT 1 to the celebration, as we have a Royal AU to roll out the red carpet for as well due to a tie in the poll!

PT 2 is made!

vvv Sketch/line art and yapping below!!! vvv

Sketch/Line art

Hehehe I just had to share. I am so proud of how the lines came out. Sketch cleaned up as lineart method my beloved.

Uagh I keep looking back and seeing so many things I could do. I might update the images secretly one day, but for now I think I need to let it be free in the world before I just never finish lol

Welcome to my yap sesh! Thank you all for being here, I hope the wait was worth it! <3 I am very proud of this and spent soooo so long rendering it. (What was i thinking doing 3 characters end my suffering /J)

Here's some random factoids about these sillies!

Sun: Born in the depths. He is a dime of dozen of cookie cutter sharks, all of them insistent of taking chunks out of anything and anyone they can find. Sun at least has some restraint when it comes to mers he likes, but he always wants just one nibble! Sun tends to warm up fast to mers that give him a speck of attention and care. Cookie cutter shark mers are known to link up with mates as soon as possible, but Sun insists that he hasn't found the perfect fit yet. No one is tasty enough for it! Everyone needs to compliment the other! Sun is the fastest of the 3, relying solely on his speed and jumping out of hiding spots to catch prey. His sharp claws pierces easily and the long webbing between his fingers makes it really easy to ensnare prey in his grasp!

Moon: Born in the depths. Jellyfish mers are rather uncommon, being known as a mostly solitary species. Unlike their animal counterparts, Jellyfish mer go alone after maturing, not even inclined to search for a mate, though they can if they so desire. They live the longest of any mer species. Their transparent bodies keep their form hidden from prey as their bioluminescence lures them in. Moon is the slowest of the 3, but it does not matter to him. To hunt, he floats in a comfortable spot, amping up his bioluminescence and fanning out his ribbons to attract prey. If a victim gets within his vicinity, his ribbons will quickly wrap and tangle around them, sending painful stings and intense damage to the prey. While effective, there are times the mer will sit in one spot for days having not attracted any food. He can hunt directly like other mers, but he'd have to rely on his transparency over speed in order to get close enough to catch them, his melded fingers make it even harder to grasp prey directly.

Eclipse: Isn't actually born a deep sea mer but spent most of his life in the depths after finding out how delicious specific creatures are and how much attention his looks get him. His skin and scales are iridescent and he loves to flaunt them when he can. Eclipse tends to be very carefree, though also the most gentle when interacting with other mers. He is inclined to view anyone as a potential friend or more due to being omnivorous, though no many has caught his full, dedicated attention. He's not territorial, not competitive, and doesn't care where he goes as he can eat just about anything. Hunting wise he is the most tactical, using his colors and thick ribbons to lure and confuse prey. He isn't the fastest nor the slowest, but his long hands increase his likelihood of catching prey he otherwise would have been a little too slow to grasp.

Yeah i.... I ended up having a lot of fun coming up with these guys

Especially moon, those of you who know KNOW, but man... my moon bias is so strong.

I even have this cute expression idea where he can control how his cap looks and uses it for his own protection. When sometimes when sleeping or defensive, he will tuck in his tail, arms, and sometimes his ribbons within the cap and then, like a string bag, it closes off his entire body from the world. He's in his own cap bubble!!! When embarrassed or trying to physically interact with someone without fear of hurting them, he'll tuck in his ribbons and scrunch his cap around his head. He'll look a bit silly, and you can't touch his face, but you can hug him safely and play with the soft round cap that now encases his head. (His tail/neck ribbons have no stinging abilities, they're just glowy for lure purposes!) his coloration is mostly inspired by the Man-O-War but his species is more fantasy then based off only that like the other two are with their respective fish, so that's why I just call him simply a Jellyfish for now :3

Sorry about that... I still love all 3 of these goobas and have ideas for them though! Maybe one day I'll get a fic going for them, not saying anytime soon because I have TOO MANY to work on rn, but just know they are swimming in my head.

So many ideas, so little time......

Once again THANK YOU ALL!!! It is so lovely to see y'all here despite my whacky upload schedules. I always tell myself I should make more simple things sometimes just so I can get the ideas out faster, but then my hands always do something else smh. Hope you all find this art and my future works quite delectable! <333

Surprise Sketches of some OC’s I was working on for a fic I was writing. Again, not an artist but I think they turned out okay! :D (I think the tiny is going to be smaller but I’m physically incapable of drawing that small on my current canvas size)

Don’t worry, the big guy is gentle… even if sometimes he doesn’t realize things until after he’s done them. But aghhh. Tiny with a broken wing, forced to stay with someone hundreds of times bigger than himself until he’s healed up which could take months? Amazing. Chef’s kiss

I won’t reveal the names yet, but this one is an extreme size difference because I love it so much 🫶

Zuko has been taken by the Earth Kingdom army to who-knows-where, and Sokka is determined to get him back.

But he can’t do it alone.

With Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors by his side, Sokka is headed to Ba Sing Se to find Katara and Aang so they can go rescue his fire bender.

Things aren’t as easy as he had hoped. Corruption, lies, and unknown horrors await them inside the city’s walls. None of this is helping Sokka’s mental well-being.

Hakoda and his men face a problem of their own as Azula approaches with the intentions of making it rain fire.

Sokka and Zuko will both find themselves having to reintegrate back into a life they thought they left behind, with people they hardly remember. It isn’t easy for anyone, especially when they don’t recognize the person standing in front of them.

03/11/2025 Progress Update:

TLDR: Drafted about 2K more today, but scrapped a previous 1K so we're at about 25K.

Okay, Kiwi was being dramatic yesterday. Writer's block has scooted out of the way nice and gently for me.

Only because I scrapped 1K words, though, ugh. I've found that writer's block often results when my brain is trying to tell me something isn't working, so I'll usually run through the previous sections with a fine-tooth comb and try to find what's not clicking. And we found it! So gonna stick with the positives here, even if I'm a little upset about losing the words :'( They're going right in the Google Doc of Unused Shit, which is a little over 5K long, yuck.

Eeeee I got to look at some guns today in research of this section, so freaking interesting. Idk if I've said this, but one of the things I was most excited about with this fic was giving Shuichi an actual fondness for his firearms (maybeeee a little obsession, too.) Not because I'm, like, personally into guns ('cause beyond general intrigue, I'm not), but because I frequently saw Phantom Thief AUs pretty explicitly mention Shuichi HAVING a gun but never really dive into his relationship with it. Or, if they did, it's usually pretty similar to Kokichi's, and he just doesn't ever actually use it (if there is a fic that DOESN'T do this, please tell me, I don't wanna generalize here). I wanted to tweak that concept a bit, make it more complex, soooo I did (or at least tried to). And it'll be more prevalent as time goes on yayaya. I just think it's interesting to explore why this particular version of Shuichi would rely on his firearms so heavily.

Anyway! Work is kicking my ass, but we're kicking it right back, yahoo! Can't get me down, I take up space, and there ain't nothing you can do about it!! And you all deserve to take up space, too. We're awesome, rah rah!!!

moots.. give me whatever dc characters to draw..... I don't promise I'll post (complicated feelings with art) but I need external motivation.. 🙏

[evanescentdawn]

cheering, hooting and clapping. I’ve WRITTEN. I feel so throughly like a writer back and im so beyond happy and this yukishima dynamic and yukio era is giving me life

"Ah, not that way!" Shima grabs his arm and deters him from where he was about to take a turn left. He grabs his arm so easily like Yukio had ever given him permission but he’s too exhausted to say something. It takes needless energy to argue with someone like Shima.

"Where are you taking me?" He still hasn't left go of his arm.

Shima gives him a grin. He's always grinning, what is he so damn happy about? Does he like being apart of Illuminati that much? For a double spy, Yukio really can't make sense of him.

"Homara-san asked for you. I think she's gotta something for us. A mission…?"

A mission.

An unpleasant feeling curled in his stomach. "Mission?" Yukio asks, "What mission?"

He told Lucifer he wasn't here to be apart of Illuminati. Made it explicitly clear. He's only here for the answers he desperately needs. He's been here for two days, to which they regrew his arm but said that the tests would wait, something had come up. Yukio can only imagine what would that be, knowing what's important to the Illuminati.

…And now Shima's taking him to Homare for a mission, apparently.

Is this why they gave him this outfit to wear?

Shima takes another few turns. He seems very familiar with this place. Yukio, for the little exploring he did, had gotten lost very easily though he would never admit it. Conveniently, there was always someone around to redirect him even though he never asked for it.

The unhidden eyes around the base aren't lost to him. Homare did tell him from day one — they're watching. A warning. Even if Yukio can't see the cameras, he knows they are there.

"Ah.. here we are!"

“Does it still hurt?”

Killua’s face goes warm, and he quickly nods, burying his face back in Gon’s chest, and Gon’s face goes equally red.

He swallows and carefully rubs Killua’s back.

“I’ll carry you again, okay?”

Killua bites back a giggle.
