#but i entered various giveaways and im hoping

[theswifterhood]

i need good audio of the other side of the door now so i can cry over this loss

[faemoria-arch]

to actually enter the giveaway  ,  go here  ! this post is very image heavy  !

what up pumpkaboos  !  i wanted to spell out details for the giveaway since there’s quite a lot of information to consider with all the different types of stuff being offered  .  plus i haven’t been super active on this blog lately so people might not really know what to expect from my art or graphics or what have you  ! first i want to emphasize again that the ‘ add a bit of positivity ’ requirement for entering is not something i will judge for length or  ‘ quality ’ anything of that sort  !  it’s just meant to spread some good vibes around  ,  since sometimes even a small message can really brighten someone’s day  .  so please do not feel pressured to write anything extravagant unless you feel like it  !

also in regards to having followed this blog  &&  all that  ,  if sideblogs are involved i can  usually  piece things together but feel free to let me know just in case  . okay now  ,  onto the bundles info  !

-  fairies  ,  by yoshitaka amano is an 80 page art book featuring various forms of the faefolk  .  you can check it out here  !  i will be placing my order at the beginning of april  &&  handling shipping to wherever you would like it mailed  .

- here’s an example of what to expect from your portrait painting  .  it will be provided as a PNG format for personal use only  .  i’m happy to paint any fictional character but at least some visual reference is necessary  &&  note that live action will be stylized into Is That Anime?™

-  &&  here’s an example of what to expect from your gif graphic  .  any character is fine but i must have some manner of existing material to work with  ,  even if it’s only a face claim  .

if you’re wondering what these games have to do with toothiana  ,  it’s because they’re two of the most fleshed out AUs on my blog lol  . -  iceborne master edition comes with monster hunter world  &&  the expansion  .  i can gift this to you through steam  ,  or order you a physical copy for ps4 or xbox one at the beginning of april  .

- kingdom hearts all-in-one edition includes all of the games  &&  cinematics included in 1.5  &&  2.5  ,   as well as kingdom hearts 3  .  it does not include the Re : Mind DLC  .  i can only offer the ps4  ,  physical edition as it does not exist on other systems  &&  is far more expensive as a digital package  .  it will be ordered at the beginning of april  . - i don’t have an exact example of what you can expect from me adapting your muse into the style of either of those universes  ,  but the polish will be something along the lines of this  ,  provided in PNG format for personal use  :

- the promo graphic can be animated or static  &&  can be formatted as primarily two horizontal banners or four vertical ones ( which naturally only look right in a photoset as seen here  )  .  they require appropriate material of the character for me to work with  .

- ask banners can be mildly animated or static (  it is simply not a great idea to have them be too flashy  )  .  a matching divider is simply something i personally like to use on my own blogs so i figured i’d include one just in case  .

- i like to make weird gimmicky ,  custom icon PSDs  .   &&  i put a lot of work  making  them in such a way that the hopeful payoff is to require  minimal  work in the long run  ,  taking into account different source materials available  &&  all that jazz  .  which means the PSD will probably seem really complicated  ,  but ideally easy to actually use (  &&  i’ll walk you through it to start with  )  .

- the sticker will be custom drawn  &&  designed by me  (  for an aprox .  3 x 4 print  )  ,  uploaded through redbubble  &&  then i will purchase a single copy to ship your way  !  it will be my first time working that process  ,  but i have affirmations from other artists who have used this method to make themselves single print stickers / mugs / etc . that it should go smoothly  . the art itself will also be provided to you as a PNG format for your personal use  .  if you ever need to replace the sticker or want additional copies to give away or something of the sort  ,  i can provide more at whatever the base cost of production / shipping is  . i do not have an existing example to provide  ,  but you can expect the art style to be something like a cut out version of this jirachi  .  your character will likely be simplified / ‘ chibified ’  &&  the art will emphasize bold shapes over details to make sure it translates properly to a sticker  .

&&  that’s everything i think  !  if you have any questions  ,  please feel free to shoot me an IM here on tumblr  !

Hi! Can you please write an au soul mate edition for soldier 76 and his younger female s/o. I don't have any real specifics. I just want him to have finally given up on avoiding her and finally deciding to claim her and her accepting her broken soldier. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Soulmate

A/N: Lets pretend its established that Soldier’s been keeping tabs on you since you joined OW. I feel like this might seen a less rushed that way. 

The giveaway was the scars.

Long healed, fleshy scars that slashed across your face inexact same way they did him.  He hatedhimself for what he had done to you. No doubt you suffered the pain alongsidehim when they were carved into his skin. His chest aches at the thought. Soyoung and beautiful yet he had already ruined you without having meant to.

However, he recalls when D.Va has asked if they botheredyou. A casual question brought up when she caught you prodding your fingertipsalong the one at your lips. Out of habit, He noted. Having caught you done it many times before. The question had peaked his interest. Looking from the corners ofhis eyes with a stare hidden beneath the red of his visor. 

“They used too.” His hands clutch, surprised as you smiled at the gaming star. “I feel like they add character, yaknow? Kind of gives me that badass ‘don’tmess with me’ look.” D.Va laughs, joining in on your smile while Soliderexcuses himself from the room.

He can’t bring himself to look at you without feeling likehe’s failed you way before he’s gotten the chance to prove himself. So, he doesthe only sensible thing he can think of when you come around. He avoids you. It’s hardly noticed at first -he’s a busy man- so no one questions why he makes a hasty exit at your entrance. No one, however, Ana being with a keenly trained eye and sense for good gossip.

She is the one who approaches him in an attempt to stop this.The skirting and dancing around. The smallest glimpse of him staring at youfrom afar has her thinking how absolutelyabsurd he’s being. Her posture is relaxed as she stops behind him stealthily,a warm cup of tea in hand. “You should tell her, Jack.” She says causing thesuper soldier to jump where he sits. His body goes rigid as he resumes cleaningthe mechanisms of his rifle.

“Don’t know what you’re talking about, Ana.” The woman givesa hearty laugh. One he knows is meant to put him on edge, which it does. Anamerely sips from her cup satisfied with its effect.

“Please.” She waves her free hand dismissively. “They mightnot have your face but they do have your scars.” She crosses her arms over herchest looking at nothing in particular. “They are your soulmate, Jack. That muchis obvious. Not many have the privilege nor opportunity of meeting them in thislifetime.” She pauses with a sigh while her face softens. Her tone is gentle asshe pats his shoulder twice reassuringly. “Do not waste yours.”

Soldiers steps are taunt and loud as he paces the throughthe corridors of the base in search for you. His hands are held as fists at hissides and his eyes stare straight forward to his objective. He feels a suddenrace of his heart, the thumps loud enough to be heard in his ear. His palms aresticking to leather interior of his gloves and his jacket feels much tighterthan usual.

The old soldier has thought over his options. Everysuccessful idea and their equally non-successful counterpart. He’s thoughtabout it till his head began to ache and he recognized he cannot take any moreof this game of never ending avoidance. He knows what he has do -for his sakeand for yours.

He had experienced a shooting pain earlier that evening. Abright red and irritated mark on his calve knowingly letting him know you hadsomehow gotten hurt on the mission you were set to return from today. It washis first and only clue as to where you might be so late in the evening. Asidefrom your room, which he had already checked first.

Jack enters the med bay room hesitantly.  A hand leaning on the door frame as he peakshis head in scanning the room.

“Oh hey, 76.” You remark awkwardly when his eyes meet yoursfrom your medical bed. A blanket across your lap as you swipe away at what youwere working on. “You can come in if you’d like.” There’s a visitor’s chair atyour bed side to which you motion with the tilt of you head. He eyes your legwearily as he moves to take a seat. “It’s really not as bad as it seems.” Youdismiss, tilting your head to catch his eye. “At worse it’ll leave a scar. Nobiggie.”

Soldier frowns, leaning forward to rest his elbows on hisknees. He intertwines his fingers together and sighs. “It doesn’t bother you?”

The older man watches as you pucker your lips, looking up inthought. A shake of your head follows soon after. “No, not really.” You motionto the ones on your face rather fondly. Pointing them out for him besides thembeing rather obvious. “I already have these. ’Course, they were from mysoulmate but it doesn’t make them any less cool. My soulmate probably lookslike one big badass with the number of scars they’ve given me.”  

The red of his visor peers at you while his tone remainslevel headed although a bit shaky. The mere mention of soulmates has his heartracing even more. “You believe in soulmates?”

A nod. “That they’re out there, yeah.  A connection -a bond- betweentwo beings meant to be. It sounds magical having someone you’re meant to be with.Someone fate has chosen for you.” He can see the emotion in youreyes, warm and dreamy. It wanders off into the distance as you drag yourfingertips over the scar at your lips. “I remember when I first got these.” Youbegin. “They weren’t the only ones. Quite frankly, I was covered in them thatday. They had hurt so badly that I cried for hours.”

Im sorry. It hangson the tip of his tongue wanting to be said. However, he bites his cheek andlets you continue.

“Then the aching stopped. The scars were still raw but thepain wasn’t there anymore. I got so scared.” You confess with a bitter laugh. “You’dthink I’d be happy but I didn’t know why the pain just disappeared. It made me worry what had happened to them. Did theydie? Had I lost them before I even got to see them?”

“Then I started getting more, big and small. Got a nasty oneon my side from god knows what a few months back but it lets me know that therestill alive. Somewhere out there doing some pretty reckless things but alivenonetheless.” He hadn’t noticed how close he’d leaned until your arm accidentlybrushed against his. A jolt of electricity eliciting from the simple touch.“Look at me, I’m rambling on about someone I’ll probably never meet.”

“No, it’s alright.” He says much too quickly. “I-ah, I neverreally talked to anyone about it much before.”

You clasp your hands in front of you while you shuffle tosit comfortable without aggravating your wound. “Do you believe in soulmates, Soldier 76?”

Soldier snorts. “If I do, I don’t deserve them.” He mutters.“I’m just a broken soldier. An old dog without any new tricks.” He pauses,looking away when you frown. “They deserve much better.”

“Hey, scars look good!” You remark, placing a hand on hisshoulder and offering a gentle squeeze. “And it doesn’t matter. A soulmate issomeone who your meant to be with.Someone fate has made just for you -foreach other. So, what if you’re not perfect? No one is! I’m sure you’ll soulmatewill love you no matter what.”

Soldier tilts his head to stare at you for a moment. Lettingthe weight of your words sink in before adjusting his seating as well. “Youreally believe that.”

“Of course, I do.” Yousmile. “You don’t give yourself much credit for the good you’ve done, do you?”

The way your eyes meet his with such reassurance sets hischest ablaze. Warmth radiating from your being flushing to melt and crack his exterior.A shortly silence overcomes the room. The hum of various machines andmechanisms that surround you echo off the white walls.

He’s made his decision and, by god, he is going to stand byit. Soldier sets himself on his feet, arms lifting towards the sides of hisvisor. For a moment, you stare at him with curiosity as the mechanism unlockswith a click. His eyes are crystalline blue, avoiding your gaze momentarily ashe trembles nervously. Your eyes scan the scars that adorn the ruggedness ofhis face, ones that perfectly like up and match with yours. The heart monitorconnected to your bed side beeps with your sudden increase in pace. However,the noise goes unnoticed as you both are focused on each other.

There’s a lump in your throat swallowed followed by adryness of your mouth. “I… had a suspicion but-” Emotions overcome you and asyour eyes begin to water. “I didn’t think -I thought I’d never find you.”

Soldier attentively moves to wipe is away the tears thatfall past your eyes. He stops shortly but you lean in to meet him half way. Thegloves of his hands are rough and tarnished but they brush against your skin withsuch tenderness that it’s just so him.“You had a suspicion it was me?”

You titter a bit over the happy sobs. “Your mask doesn’tcover much of the top scar on your face.” You lift a hand to touch where itbegins on his forehead. The feel of your fingertips tracing smooth scarredtissue makes his chuckle where you know it tickles to touch. “It’s in the exactspot mine is in.”

His eyebrows furrow. “But?”

“But I’ve never seen the rest of your face. I didn’t know ifthe rest matched up. I didn’t want to assume either or give myself false hopebut,” You confess, hands coming up at his sides in order to grip his jacket.“Soldier-”

“Jack.” He corrects, taking you in his arms. The leather ofhis jacket creaks as he grips you tightly in the embrace. A warmth flushesbetween the two of you as something clicksjust how it should. “It’s Jack, Jack Morrison.”

“Jack.” You affirm. “I’m happy it’s you, Jack. I really am.”

“I’m sorry I took so long.” His blue eyes are lidded as hisbreath so close to you. You’re eyes dip to part of his lips before glancingback up to him.

You wipe away the reaming tears with the back of your hand.A grin forming as you playfully tug at him. “I’m sure you can think of ways tomake it up to me. For how reckless you are.”

He chuckles with a deep rumble before tilting his headtowards you. “I might have a few ideas.”

His lips are cracked and dried but he kisses you with somuch fever it’s the last thought in your mind. You can see where he’s outpractice, teeth clinking together momentarily before you adjust yourself. Heleans as close as he can, hands finding purchase on either side of your hipswhile the hospital bed restricts the rest. Your arms wrap their way around hisshoulders, one hand gripping at his hair while he opens his mouth. Tonguestangle, wet sloppy kisses pressed to the others lips as your breaths match andhearts race. He places a kiss at the edge of your lips before trailing downyour chin and jaw bone. Lips finding themselves close and closer to soft skinof your neck as you tilt your head in appraisal.

The fast tapping of heels and of the medical bay doorsslamming open suddenly parts you both. Soldier pushing himself back and off thebed as he quickly moves to compose himself. However, the young medic has madeher presence faster than both of you accounted for. An embarrassed blushovercoming the both of you.

Angela makes the connection rather quickly, a knowing smirkcrossing her face. “Ah, here I thought something might have happened.” Sheremarks, walking past Soldier to look over the data collected by the suddenlybeeping heartrate monitor. “But it seems I’ve interrupted something.” She looksover the chart with puckered lips.. “Visiting hours are closed at the moment,Jack.” Pointily, she directs her attention to soldier

He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. Unsure of how toanswer the doctor who taps her foot impatiently. “Ange-”

She closes her eyes while raising a hand to cut him off. “Iwill give you a moment to say your goodnights.” Her gaze is tired when shereopens her eyes. “They need their rest. So, please, make it quick.”

He waits till the doctor exits the room. Her office lightsflickering off not too far down the hall before he turns back to you. His handfinds yours as he pulls himself back into you. You lean in, meeting him withyour head tilted.

The kiss is brief and wanting. Much more yet to bediscovered and much left to be said. Soldier is the first to pull away knowingAngela will burst through the door once more any minute. He chuckles as youpout reaching out for more. “I’ll come visit tomorrow.” He finds his discardedvisor, clicking it back in place as he prepares to leave.

“I’ll see you tomorrow?” You ask, voice raising in pitch as his hand leaves yours. You can hear the smile on the softness of his tone. 

“I’ll see you tomorrow.” He nods.
