Game review from real gamer. i am not finished at all but saga of sins. Yeah. Platformer where everything looks like stained glass and u turn into monsters to enter people’s minds and fight sin. U can pet the dog and also enter the dog’s mind (he is free sin)
#txt#its scratching the history/religion/art fixation part of my brain so good#u are a littel priest and u fight the demons in sinners’ minds to free them but… are u really freeing them or are u committing sin urself??#its a lot of this tortured littel guy being all ‘hey what is sin REALLY? love thy neighbor but cannot fuck?? hello god whats up w that’ but-#-in a plagued by demons sort of way#what is the morality of it all? idk man the priest just got back from the crusade and have been just as many comments on how noble that is-#-as there have been ‘hey not cool’ and ‘why r u trying to purge sin when wrath made u kill fellow humans’ etc#im not expecting an answer on that exactly as the game is *very* european lmao#anyway i think its gonna end with either fighting god or fighting the devil OR u turn into the devil. some hell on earth kinda deal#also. hope no one reads so far but this dude looks like how i draw ye ole medieval nicky and i have brain worms. so its a bonus#but by itself. im fucking LOVE the stained glass look of it all#its not terribly original game play as it is a platformer but man never seen a game with this look#so 10/10 for aesthetics lol#yike im done now. sudden need to tell everyone abt my fav game of this week u know how it is

General Mizu headcanons -Mizu x fem!reader -sfw and nsfw headcanons + my thoughts :], kinda long? but aye, more content -pls, reminder these are my takes, and I would love to hear your in the comments <3
-comments and reblogs are appreciated <3
Sfw:
took her awhile to open up fully to you. Like about everything- probably hide her fav food from you too
speaking of food, she probably is a terrible cook and would love if you can cook for her
I can imagine Mizu burning a pot of water
I tried to do my research and look into this, but I think Mizu is about 5'4
if you're shorter than her, she'll definitely have a confidence boost and feel she has to protect you always- she already does but...you're short and tiny...so she must
If you're taller, she's putty in your hands when you two are alone but she will still kick someone's ass for you
If you're not trained in the martial arts or any good with swords, she'll teach you
If Mizu is teaching you before you two are official, she'll be rougher and stricter with her teaching. She wants you to be the best and have a good chance to learn to protect yourself
Now if she is teaching you after you two are dating, she'll still be strict but definitely a bit more gentle
"Do it again...You almost had it, try again I know you can do this"
Nicknames for you? I feel she would mostly call you by your name, but she would also call you "my pearl" or "my dove"
Pls play with her hair plsplsplsplsplsplspls
She's a sucker for a massage due to her battles and training but only from you
but!!!!!
The first time you saw her without her male persona/ identity sent her in panic mode. You knew her as this strong, tough masculine man...but here you are, happening to stumble upon her wearing nothing and seeing her...lady parts
She already started to develop feelings for you by that time and so have you, but at the knowledge you think she's a boy. Gay stuff is already a 'no-no' to a lot of people, so would it be a 'no-no" for you??
of course not- doesn't matter if they're male or female, it's still Mizu at the end of the day
once you accept her, she truly feels seen for once
This woman will and always lay down her life for you.
She'd probably die then come back to life for you cause she loves you that much
I do feel she would be distant in the beginning. We all know how her last marriage went...She doesn't want to be hurt again
Once you show her you're in for the long run, she'll become lovable and clingy
LET HER BE FEMININE PLS PLS
She barely got to explore her feminine side with Mikio (rat bastard) cause of what happened
Dress her up and make her feel pretty <3
I have a feelign she can be really childish when comfortable with you- play wrestle with her to burn off some energy
She will want to duel with you, but never lets it go too far
If she ever pulls that same shit she did with Mikio, and she has the sword to your throat...I feel she will get flashbacks and get nervous how you'll react
but is soon pulled out of those memories when you laugh and say she wins and you kiss her <3
Nsfw
now the yummy part lol
IDC SHE'S A SWITCH
no one will change my mind, no one could ever think of changing my mind
In the Edo period of Japan, sex toys were there to use and have fun. Now, I actually looked it up and ruined my web history for this because of the shunga I saw
STRAP ON- either Mizu using it on you or you using it on her, either way it's a good time
She definitely can and will be rough and dominate. She's used to be taking control to getting what she wants
Doesn't mean she can't be soft and sensual, you are her love after all, and sex is something for both to enjoy. She would love to just be soft with you
She will spank that ass, idc
Now, like I said, I actually looked a lot of this stuff up...
Double sided dildo for the both of you to use. For her, it's almost embarrassing cause you are seeing her reactions but she also LOVES this since it's so intimate to her, so hold her hand while you two do it
Going off the last one, I feel she would be trying to cover her face or her mouth sometimes...don't let her
With that one episode, we know she's loud and her eyes roll back...it's canon...so hit her with that dumb dick and make her roll her eyes back
Tie her up...that's all
Her fingers are long and slender, good for fingering your cunt and rubbing your clit
Loves having you in her lap and fingering you late at night, especially if there are other people around. Gives her the chance to cover your mouth and whisper in your ear to tease you
"You like that?...You like the fact anyone could catch us right now, and they'd see my fingers fucking this pussy..?”
Dw you'll give her the same treatment
When you finger her, she's whiny, holding onto your other hand tightly
Praise her breast- whether you have bigger breast or not, still show love to her peaches
Kiss them, suck on them, whatever..love on them
I don't think she would ever consider sharing you with another person like ever
I can imagine her talking a big game, but your first time? She’s a wreck, she wants everything to be perfect
Yeah technically she's not a virgin but she doesn't want to mess anything up with you
Favorite position? I think she likes taking you in missionary but likes to be bent over when she subbing
After you give her sum backshots, pls give her the softest aftercare
She will be clingy after, so let her cling to you like a koala
In the end, Mizu is the best girlfriend boyfriend ever <3

SHIFTER INTRO
⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅
HELLO
I'm new to shiftblr, so I wanna introduce myself :)
PSA: If you stalk my account and see my past reposts and likes, no you didn't lol. This account is hello old and I'm trying to cleanse it. I had an intense sports phase when I was 14-16, dw bout it...
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀:¨ ·.· ¨: ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ `· . ꔫ
About me:
☆General: I'm Melanie, but you could just call me Mel. 23 y/o, Leo, She/Her. I moved from shift tok to here! I want to find fellow shifters and continue my journey! I don't really have shifting friends so I figured here was a good place to find some mutuals :) ☆Shifting journey: The first time I shifted was in 2022 (or 2023, it was winter i don't remember which month) and it was by accident. I had no idea what shifting was oop. Since then I've, although I hate this term, "mini shifted" a few times since, but my mentally has definitely gotten better! I have been lucid dreaming since I was a kid, so when it happened I knew immediately it was different and I was so confused lol.
☆Main Dr: Attack on Titan (My script is pretty diff than canonverse, practically no titans left, no war, peacetime, much more modern times etc. I will explain script in a later post if ppl are interested) I had other DRs like JJK but lost interest in that (in the show in general tbh) and DBZ (the one I shifted for the first time ever to). Don't ask but it existed lol. Still love the show though, it was my first anime 🕺🏻. Tbh I'm just focused on my main one, I may make one with L Lawliet in some way eventually. Otherwise I haven't really been inspired to have anything different. ☆Hobbies: I love to draw! I haven't really began my dive into digital art (it's on my to do list) so I mainly stick to sketching and occasionally painting. I'm also trying to learn Japanese right now which is quite hard but I love it. I could already speak Italian and English and they're soooo different. Aside from that idk, I'm currently in school so I don't have time for much. I write some fanfics from time to time and read (manga/books) or play xbox occasionally. I also love to shop and collect anime shit lol. ☆Fav shows: -Grey's Anatomy -AOT -DBZ -Death note -Chainsaw Man -Nana -Gossip Girl -Spy x Family (I'm currently watching but still at the beginning, so spoilers pls) -Demon Slayer -The Vampire Diaries (a good fall classic) -Friends -Alice in Borderlands (where tf is s3 oml) -JJK (I've watched, used to be obsessed with, now I'm pretty disinterested but always love me some Toji lol) -Jersey Shore (a true italian-american classic 😩) -JoJo's (also still at beginning oop) -Hunter x Hunter (i stopped mid way) -Black Clover (there seems to be a theme here... stopped mid way) There's prob more I just can't think rn ☆Why I shift?: Tbh, since I was a kid I would make DRs without even understanding what that was. I am a very creative person with a huge imagination (thanks ADHD woo) so I've always wanted to be a part of these realities I would make as one does. I've also struggled with a history of depression and to be candid, my home life sucks. I've done a lot of maturing and mental work on myself so I'm a lot better now, so my reason is not necessarily for an "escape" but like yeah. I don't like wording it that way because I feel as though it's a bit dangerous to just completely toss your CR aside and rely on shifting as a end all be all fix, but if that's not the case then escape away :) I've been on the other end of that journey before so I'm speaking on behalf of my experience, but that's just what has worked for me and my mental health personally. As long as you are happy and healthy, do your thing <3
Okay this is already long af but if you made it this far, thank you🥹. Now that I have started up this page, I hope to interact with you guys and post about my DR and shifiting journey! Also most importantly...
WE WILL ALL SHIFT TONIGHT :)

HIIII is it okay if i ask for a twst matchup? im a big fan of ur blog!! :3
so a bit about me, im a she/her but honestly i don't mind any pronouns, my gender expression is all over the place and i like experimenting a lot!
im an optimistic and sensitive person and i always try my best to be kind, polite and friendly towards everyone. being all happy and sunshine-y comes naturally to me 😼 i can be a bit moody due to my social anxiety but i try really hard to just be myself and do whatever i want, regardless of what other people might think of me😇😇
im creative and curious and i like having fun!!! my friends often describe me as weird, but like in a good way, as if im some strange whimsical creature. im super artsy and express my weird style proudly, both in the way i dress and how i present myself ‼️‼️‼️ i know physical appearance probably doesn't matter, but for a long while ive had a buzz cut despite being very feminine otherwise :3 fun times. nowadays im trying to grow a mullet
hobbieees. oh i have many. overall i enjoy anything crafty that requires using my hands, so i spend my free time drawing, building stuff, playing instruments, sewing clothes or plushies. i like to study, both for school and to satiate my personal curiosity on random topics :Dddd i also really like the outdoors and often explore new local and even far away places just for the fun of it ✌️ i constantly try new things and activities and just try to live my life to the fullest
i like nature, art, animals, bugs. iam a huge bug lover. the stranger the bug the better 🙏💞 i like learning new things, i like space, horror movies, sweet food, music, mangos, flowers, funky earrings. i like a lot of things.... on the other hand there's not much things i dislike, except for the usual like.... idk bad people, hate, drama. but yeah everyone dislikes that. specific things that i don't like however are getting yelled at, being babied/underestimated and having to deal with ppl who are way too pessimistic. it can be exhausting!!
there aren't any characters i wouldn't want to be matched up with, but my favs are floyd, malleus, jack and sebek if that helps! 🥳
ok this was really long 💔 thank u for reading it all!!! hope u have a great day!!! 💫
My first fan! Your reward: the satisfaction of knowing I’m twisting my hair and kicking my feet and giggling while I read this. Also, apologies for the delay.
== Twisted Wonderland ==>
I match you up with…
Lilia Vanrouge
Pre-relationship:
Lilia is glad to have another sunshine-y person around such a dour school. You two are fast friends, and he wonders if you wouldn’t be better suited to RSA what with your kindness and positivity.
Regardless, he’s glad to have made such a lovely friend.
He’s your number one fan when it comes to embracing your hobbies or weirdness. He does the same, and so the two of you spend a lot of time talking about your passions and exploring new things together.
He buys you strange clothes and trinkets all the time, like a crow collecting shiny things. Some of the stuff he brings you is truly strange, and you’re not sure how he got his hands on it…but it’s the thought that counts, right?
He will 100% want you involved in the pop music club, whether that’s playing an instrument or making posters. He just likes having you around whenever he can; you’re like a ray of sun to him.
Confession:
Lilia denied his feelings for you at first. He knew that his history was violent and much longer than yours, and he felt that he could never expose you to that part of himself.
But one way or another, you find out, and when you accept and embrace him, I imagine he feels such love and affection for you that he almost confesses right there and then.
He takes his time to plan the confession: taking you on a trip to see something cool, and then asking at just the right moment, like the romantic he is.
Relationship:
Lilia would want to take you to see the world with him. You two would spend all vacations in different countries and cities, taking in the world and spending all of your time together.
Some dates are just the two of you staying home and learning together, though. If one of you sees something they’re interested in, the whole evening can be spent learning about it side by side, exchanging kisses between paragraphs and documentaries.
The best part of the relationship is that you and Lilia push eachother to experience new things, whether that be you showing him creepy bugs, or him taking you skydiving.
You two never fail to bring out the best in one another, and have so much fun along the way.

Besides Zelda, what are some other video games you are into? What other fandoms are you in?
Dearest Anonymous,
Here are games who made the cut for my favorites games series of all time (excluding LoZ my no1 fav!)
My taste varies from rpgs to sci fi action, to survival horror, to text base. I particularly enjoy story driven single player games...and I think my pic is a clear example of my obsession for the "the power of love triumph's over evil" trope haha
The original Mass Effect Trilogy: My ultimate power fantasy. I wish I was Commander Shepard IRL. Without going into details, that game series pretty much saved my life.
Dragon Age Origins: I am still hunted by some of my moral choices.... also, Morrigan, my beloved 🥵 Special mention to The Witcher 3!
The Last of Us: Naughty God and their character writing.... Unpopular opinion, I adore both games but i prefer part 2 by far. The themes. The character nuances...a game that made me want to throw my controller away when I got to the final battle 😭💔
Horizon Zero Dawn / Forbidden West: Post-Apocalyptic Sci Fi open world reclaimed by nature where you fight robots...hmmm... reminds me of something....
Final Fantasy VIII: Not perfect from a long shot...so many thing doesnt make sense in the story, so many plot holes and broken game mechanics...BUT I DON'T CARE!! I LOVE THIS MESS!! And I adore Squall Leonheart's character design and it shows in the way I draw Link's hair....
Final Fantasy IX: Criminally underrated in my opinion. It's my favorite Final Fantasy. All the FF history easter eggs, the music, the environments. Beatrix is hot. Kuja is hot.
The Ace Attorney Series: So f****** ABSURD! This is japan humor at it's best. Calling a Parrot to the witness stand is one of the greatest video game moments ever 🤌 And I play with the mic. I love yelling OBJECTION in my DS mic!
Lunar 1 and 2: My heart warms just looking at those boxes... 🥹♥️The characters (designed by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, the same artist who designed Evangelion's characters) the simple but charming story, the pixel art, the romances... and the game is surprisingly HARD!!! Man, i want to replay them right now. If you never heard of this JRPG and love stories about the power of true love, CHECK THIS OUT!!
As for my fandoms in general...hmmm...it would be quicker for me to list things i don't like than the opposite lol. But i am a HUGE science fiction nerd, you can think of the classic obvious franchises and go deeper.
I'm a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan too and all the drama that was revealed after #MeToo broke my heart on multiple levels...but thats another story.
Cheeeers!

I'll mention a few things because I don't have like. one cohesive answer since I tend to like different things about different pieces! I kind of alluded to it in a previous answer but I like how sharp and saturated my current style is it makes me happy :) I also like that I go the extra (unnecessary) mile to add tiny details that 98% of people won't see but satisfy me knowing they're there ,,, and i really dig the way I draw faces but specifically eyes!! omg i watched a drawfee video where Karina said something about loving the lower eyelid area and i was like bITCH SAME I LOVE THE LOWER EYELID I WISH EVERY PART OF EVERY DRAWING WAS A LOWER EYELID i cld paint that shit for days <3

I most recently saw ‘Destined With You’ and ‘Doom at Your Service’ and loved both. I want to watch something that is more serious than silly and I’ve discovered that I really like the whole theme of love that exists beyond time or just love happening despite tragic circumstances. ‘While You Were Sleeping’ is probably my most favorite kdrama. If there are some kdramas you can think of that have similar vibes to those, I’d love to hear about them.
at the outset with time travel or past lives / tragic love...I just know a few ...
Mystic popup bar :
this is more of mix of part comedy , drama , romance ( sub sub plot) and action. Weol Ju (played by hwang jung eum) is a pop up restraunt owner who sets her food tent at night where both the dead and the living can grab a drink and she helps people appease their grudges / problemswith a special drink...( i am sorry this synopsis seems weird but give it a go you might like this :) )
2.Hotel del luna
i think this a mix of romcom , fantasy and horror. The story revolves aroung jang man wol ( played gorgeously by IU ) who is the owner of the hotel del luna (she is bound by curse to look after the hotel for dead and make easy passage for them to the nether world). Things start to be different for manwol once she hires goo chan sung as the assistant manager ....While this synopsis sounds boring it is far from it ... It does explore on some thematic aspects of ' resentment ' letting go and found family themes . Also since you said you liked while you were sleeping it's from the same directors that's an added bonus. Also cinematography and OSTs are my absolute favs...
3. Youth of May
this one not a fantasy but rather a sad romance melodrama.. but the directing acting the story was amazing . It revolves around old school romance of two strangers who met at the time of gwangju uprising. (And this drama made me look into south korean history ) It just gives you that nostalgia of what it is to be in love. Also because it is in the backdrop of a major event in sk history it does depicts deaths and cruel reality of the olden time. Anyway this was one of the best dramas i have watched ( please be ready with lots of tissues when watching this )
4. My dearest
Was released as a two part series with total of 21 episodes with each episodes were a art in itself , set in historical times of Qing invasion Yu Gil Chae is a pretty, bubbly, and a bit spoiled young lady who's called the 99 tailed fox of Neunggun-ri. She is also a bit of an outcast because other young ladies are jealous of her. They seem to think she's too straightforward and her behavior is inappropriate for a young lady, while young noblemen think highly of her. Gil Chae knows how to get men to fall for her but fails to capture the heart of the person she likes. Lee Jang Hyun is a mysterious man who suddenly appears in the Neunggun-ri social scene. Nobody really knows anything about him. Young nobles don't like him, but the elderly are wrapped around his finger. He's been dating around a lot, but he becomes curious about a certain 99 tailed fox, and one day, the said fox quite literally crash lands into his arms.
Once war is brewing, the pair finds themselves separated before they could even start to make sense of their feelings.
But the drama isn't just about their love it is much more than that it captivates it's viewers to empathize with emotions of ongoing war and how wthe invasion affects each and every character ( not just the main ) and the beautiful storytelling and the cinematography with added acting brilliance of nam goong min and ahn eunjin you keep yearning for more and more...
this is definitely the most serious one out of this lot.
JUST another rec of a not romance in fantasy but just a thriller fantasy drama that i am currently watching seems absolutely good
5. TOMORROW
Choi Joon Woong seeks a job, but it's hard for him to get hired. One night, he witnesses a man trying to end his life and decides to stop him. He gets acquainted with grim reapers Koo Ryeon and Im Ryoong Gu, who belong to a crisis management team. Their purpose is to prevent people from committing suicide. After Joon Woong ends up in a coma and becomes half-human and half-spirit, he is employed by a company of grim reapers as the newest member of the crisis management team.
other dramas: that fit love in tragic circumstances maybe :
queen for seven days
it's okay to not be okay ( tragic past )
extraordinary you ( not tragic but how love transcends two webtoons / two stories in fantasy based story where characters are in webtoon and one of the side character relaises THAT FACT !!)
it's okay that's love
#kdrama#recs#tolkpopfan#hope this helps#only these four popped up at the outright when u said#whole theme of love that exists beyond time or just love happening despite tragic circumstances#while first one isn't exactly a love story

xavier x wednesday in a hot tub (that's the title)
summary: xavier and wednesday share a dream revolving around a hot tub ;). this is the 8th part to a story ive been posting on ao3 (which explains some missing context) but this is my fav so you guys can have it too:
The blue and white tiles lining the floor felt cold against his feet, a familiar smell of ammonia and bleach lingering in the air. Xavier knew exactly where he was - the indoor pool in the basement of Nevermore’s main hall. It was rarely used, save for siren students on occasions when they found the lake to be too cold. Among the many activities that Xavier’s father had shoved down his throat, he’d had a short stint in competitive swimming. Backstroke was Xavier’s favorite. He’d get lost in it for hours, staring at the cement ceiling and letting the chlorine burn his eyes. Past the lap pool, there was a hot tub that rarely worked and was minimally warm at best.
That didn’t matter in this dream. Steam surrounded the spa, accompanying the sound of the student who occupied it softly splashing her hands in and out of the water. It was no surprise that it was her.
In reality, it was Monday. Xavier was supposed to be in European History right now, learning about the foundational background of the places he hoped to live someday. Instead, he’d been camped out in his art studio since Saturday morning, nursing insomnia by getting high and sketching the back of Wednesday’s head. He’d saved his last of Ajax’s sleeping pills for this morning, already planning to cut class. He hated Mondays, almost as much as he was starting to hate Wednesdays.
He didn’t care if a nightmare was necessary to do it; he just wanted to see her.
“Hey,” Wednesday’s voice echoed in the emptiness of the natatorium as she turned over her shoulder to look at him. Her hair was down, soaking, reinforcing the idea that she’d been swimming before Xavier arrived. “Get in.”
Xavier nodded, stepping in one foot at a time. He became aware of the fact that he was shirtless, how skinny he’d gotten. He felt embarrassed that she was seeing him this way, but realized that Wednesday wasn’t looking anywhere but his eyes. Their stares remained locked as Xavier sunk into the hot tub, already burning long before he felt the temperature of the water.
Wednesday was wearing a white tank top and black brief underwear, basically clothed. Xavier thought she looked as beautiful as always, pale and delicate and strangely alluring. Her lips were perfectly red and plump, like she was chewing them raw for years before they met, perfecting the color just so he could fantasize about them.
“You’re so far away,” Xavier could barely whisper. He felt as though he was on a stage, before a large audience, afraid to say the wrong thing or fumble his lines. The hot tub was hardly sizable, but the distance between them felt like miles. It took all his focus to not stare at the way her shirt was sticking to her skin, or how her neck was beginning to flush from the heat. She looked just as pretty with some color.
“Come closer then.” Wednesday’s tone was characteristically flat, but her eyes were changed, open and inviting in some way they hadn’t been before.
Xavier crossed the space between them in a single stroke, his hands resting on the outside of her respective legs. He spread the fingers of his right hand apart so that his thumb brushed her thigh, looking up at her. He settled below her, floating in the deeper part of the hot tub while his hands settled on the seated portion that Wednesday occupied. Wednesday stared back, enjoying being above him for once.
Xavier took a deep breath before ducking his head underwater, taking Wednesday by surprise. She drew back briefly as he came up. “Now my hair’s wet, too,” he said, almost bashfully, moving his right hand to push his hair back. Wednesday immediately noticed the absence of his thumb against her.
She watched the drops of water drip down the crevices of his face, slowing as they crossed his eyes and speeding up to a race down his cheeks. She paid special attention to his lips, how drenched they were, imagining how they’d taste like chemicals and salt. The thought made her whole body pulse. He was vulnerable at this moment, staring up towards her through his eyelashes, which were just as wet as the rest of him. She wanted to eat him alive and bet that he’d let her if she asked.
When Xavier moved his hand back down to reposition himself, Wednesday grabbed his wrist. His only reaction was the turning of his head, challenging Wednesday to her next move as though he was a chess piece and she was the grandmaster.
“Touch me.”
Xavier obeyed, a kingpin moving closer to the eighth row of a chessboard. He used his arms to push himself higher, bringing his left hand to the right side of her face. Wednesday leaned back so that Xavier could fall against her, bringing his right hand to brush against the cotton fabric of her underwear. Even in the water, the contact alone caused Wednesday to gasp.
“Don’t be scared,” he whispered, biting her earlobe before moving his lips down to mark the rest of her neck. The sensation caused her to roll her head back, Xavier’s left hand sliding from her cheek to find purchase on her breast, pinching and rolling in a way that made her back arch. She hadn’t been scared for a second.
He moved timidly, shyly, like he was going to break her. He knew she wasn’t that way, that she would potentially even prefer a degree of roughness, but he couldn’t negate the preciousness he regarded for the girl he held. If the water wasn’t so hot, he knew he’d be shaking like crazy, and maybe she’d make fun of him for it. He wouldn’t mind.
“Can I pick you up?”
“How?”
“Just give me permission.”
“Yes.”
Xavier dipped his head back underwater, locking his hands under her legs and onto her lower back. He lifted her out of the water, balancing each of her thighs on his shoulders. His face was directly between her legs, barely able to make out Wednesday struggling to keep herself balanced on the tile. The sight may have been one of Wednesday’s favorite things she’d ever seen.
“Don’t slip.” Xavier’s left hand attempted to reach behind Wednesday’s back to pull her forward, trying to offer support.
“It’s too wet,” she whispered. She could feel him smile against her thigh when she said this, which made her blush. He pushed her underwear to the side, working his way closer through small kisses.
“Yeah, I know.”
-
Wednesday jerked up, unable to discern where she was. Her hands made contact with the familiar wood of her desk, and the first sight to her left was Enid, smiling like crazy. Shit. She’d fallen asleep in class.
“Having a good dream?” Enid asked.
Wednesday tried to discern whether this was stated in an accusatory fashion. Had she been making noise? Her cheeks were burning. She couldn’t stop thinking about Xavier’s teeth against her thigh, about how much pressure she had felt, how they hardly even got started. It was the most vivid dream she had experienced, and if she hadn’t been more well-trained, she may have misinterpreted it as a vision. She felt as though she had been in control of her actions, dictating her dialogue in a way that she rarely had the capacity to do in a dream state. “What makes you say that?” She hissed, keeping her tone low to avoid the attention of their professor.
“I’ve never seen you look so peaceful when sleeping. God, you were almost smiling!” Enid scrunched her nose, clearly entertained. “I never get to see you sleep! You always fall asleep after me and wake up before me.”
“You like to watch people sleep?” Wednesday sneered. Somehow, she could feel herself blushing even more.
“What? Are you the only one who's allowed to have a creepy side?”
“Every side is my creepy side.” Wednesday diverted her attention back to her desk, slamming her notebook open. A few peers turned to look, but they were largely used to Wednesday’s random displays of aggression. Wednesday wasn’t focusing anyway.
She decided she was skipping the next period, and the one after. She knew exactly where to find Xavier. Something had to be done, some conversation had to be had - before Friday, she hadn’t been cursed with these damned dreams. She wasn’t mad about the events of the party. She was only upset at how much she wished the dream had been real, at how angry she was that she didn’t know what his moans sounded like in real life.

COTL : The Spousal Trio(Fanart Series, Mlp BaseEdits) Finale!
Hello Everyone here's the finale of Sammi's Story of my Spousal Trio Series so far, and this one's pretty self explanatory since obviously the rest of my drawings between Lambert and his Beloved Wife Sammi are history and all connected to this Lil Series of Origins for my fav Batdemoness in-game spouse!
No POV this time bcuz it's late and I'm pretty sleepy but maybe next time with us Finally getting into the Origins of Lady Dimmi The White Axolotl and M3gan Howler The Socialpathical but Sweet Wolf!
And like with sammis I'm gonna do 3 drawings as a beginning(Their Childhood Families, or just full younger years as children), the middle part(How they met their respective bishop and became the way they are and why they have a strong hatred towards the torture they went thru) and a Finale(which like this drawing above will be a full finale piece)
I'm doing it like this using Ibis Paint X(which I'm starting to get the hang of it as a beginner user of the app, until I get my new laptop and sadly gotta wait even more because my mom's bday is tonight/tomorrow she's gonna be in the city and I'm not going and staying home which I already felt like I went there already.. but that's just some "personal stuff" but long story short : I'll have more art to do at home)
But hope you guys and Gals liked this fanart I made tonight! And see you next time in Lady Dimmis Chapter!
P.S : as you can tell I gave Sammi some cute freckles on her snout which I found pretty cute and adorably perfect for her as a Innocent Loyal Desciple of Lambert(and maybe stay like that forever as a family gene with her meeting her future GF/Wife Midge and having "The Real Maxine Bloodsucker" which I'll save that for another time!
Anyways bye and goodnight cultists

I visited your blog to find that great edit you made of Alex Wilder again, because I think it's just great and one of the best edits i've seen of Alex. I was wondering though, what did you think of Rowell's time on the comic series. I really do admire how much she cares about the characters, I really do, but I had a massive problem with the progression of the stories. I just feel like it would have been better if it was in a show rather than a one comic that comes out once a month
OMG you came to the right person because i have many thoughts on Rowell's run...also thank you for the kind words abt my Alex edit its one of my favs and i always forget it exists
In terms of Rowell's run. It started off as one of my favorite runs and as time went on I grew to really dislike it.
I think there's some stuff she does I REALLY love - I think she gets Alex on a level a lot of writers really don't and does some genuinely interesting things with him which is very important to me personally since he's one of my favs. I sometimes like to look at the stuff she wrote for him in a vacuum and pretend the rest of that run doesn't exist LMAO. The stuff with Molly and her reluctance to abandon her parents because she was so young when she lost them I find very compelling as well, as well as stuff that begins to be explored with Chase in terms of How To Cope With Your Dead Girlfriend Coming Back to Life And Still Being 16, but unfortunately it isn't really resolved. Gib also is a fun addition to the cast and I like the parallels between him and the rest of the Runaways. Anka's art is ofc beautiful as always (kinda a minor issue tho but I wish he had gone less nugoth for Nico and stuck to her more classic romantic/trad goth looks - it makes her look so artificial to me)
It's been a hot second so I really need a reread but iirc i didn't have as much of an issue with pacing as I did with some weird characterization and plot choices so I don't really know if another format would have improved it, but maybe if a show or something stretched out the runtime of each arcs. I saw someone say once that Rowell is a fix-it writer and i think that really describes the problems with this run, which is that she's far more interested in resolving ""plot holes"" and bringing back old characters than telling new interesting stories. I put plot holes in quotation marks because frankly a lot of these things are not plot holes. The fact that we don't know how the staff of one works is NOT a plot hole, its part of it being a weird fucked magic artifact. Making it a person kind of undermines everything Nico has gone thru in the rest of her arc and adds some weird ass implications to every other writer's work. Even with things that actually are issues, comic history is full of holes not everything exists to be repaired especially if it comes at the cost of cool stories.
THE ROMANCE ARCS feel engineered just to kinda create cute moments rather than good stories. I didn't find Nico and Karolina's relationship issues believable or interesting at all especially considering their respective histories. I find them and a lot of the cast to be vastly OOC but that's pretty typical for comics I guess. Victor and Gert's romance is one of my main issues as well because it just seems kind of out of nowhere to me and just kind of an effort to pair off the cast. I don't feel like they have any chemistry, Vic (and the rest of the cast but mostly him) feels really dumbed down and his complex struggles with bodily autonomy are simplified down to him wanting to hold his new girlfriend. Just overall his characterization in this comic completely revolves around Gert and it sucks. Gert in general is a huge issue for me because while I find her an interesting character in her original form, in this run she kind of monopolizes the entire comic with her arcs always taking precedence. AND THEY DONT EVEN DO ANYTHING INTERESTING WITH HER. SHE LITERALLY DIED AND CAME BACK AND LOST YEARS OF TIME WITH HER FREINDS WHO HAVE GROWN CLOSER IN HER ABSENCE and instead they write this very like cartoonishly evil fatphobia plot which doesn't seem interested in saying anything besides "fatphobia bad :(" I normally hate to like try to read author intention but its difficult to me not to think Rowell did a bit of a self insert/authors pet situation here.
TLDR - OVERALL I think the comic could REALLY have benefited from less characters with longer arcs rather than trying to fit everything and the kitchen sink from the last 20 years of runaways history. But I also think it is unfortunately one of the best and only runaways comics we've gotten recently so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ def need a reread to fully collect my thoughts as well
#warlock wartalks#many thoughts!! but god i need a reread. anyway runaways forever stan alex wilder my final message goodbye

Soo about art history! Well I studied a lot about applied art history - I really hope that's the right word but it's like furniture and stuff as well around architecture, sculpted and painted art (boii oh boi I really don't know the English terms sorry!!) And that was really interesting and I love learning more bc there's always so much more to know! I think my studies mainly focused on being able to put dates on art pieces and sort them into a time period - but also.. random funny artist stories my beloved XD Also for my thesis I had a look at Soviet war memorials so that's up my alley as well!
Hbu? Do you have any fav periods/genres/artists? :3
ooh applied art history sounds great! i wish my courses covered more architecture and practical crafts like furniture, it's pretty centered on painting and sculpture for the most part. and Soviet war memorials?? damn that's such a good topic, and hey hell yeah, congratulations on writing a thesis!!
and YES i do have favourites, putting it below a read-more sdkfgh:
RIGHT so my favourite movement is absolutely Impressionism, i love the depiction of light and the painting style of lots of small distinct brushstrokes is Such a wonderful effect. i'd have to say Claude Monet is one of my all time favourite artists, i especially love his sunsets:
Impression, Sunrise, 1872, oil on canvas, 48��× 63 cm, Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris
Also really like his snowy landscapes, and how he paints water, as well as his colour choices! it's not really displayed in these paintings, but in a lot of his more natural landscapes- especially the floral ones- the colours are so vibrant :D
Train in the Snow, 1875, oil on canvas, 59 x 78cm, Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris
The Magpie, 1869, oil on canvas, 89 x 130cm, Musée d'Orsay, Paris
The Water Lily Pond (Nymphéas), 1904, oil on canvas, 90 x 92cm, private collection
The Bridge at Argenteuil, 1874, oil on canvas, 60.5 x 80cm, Musée d'Orsay, Paris
Similarly, I really like J.M.W. Turner, particularly for his dramatic seascapes and his paintings of ruins! Some favourites would be:
Fishermen at Sea/The Cholmeley Sea Piece, 1796, oil on canvas, 91.4 x 122.2cm, Tate Britain, London
The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons, 16th October, 1834, 1934, oil on canvas, 92 x 123cm, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia
Melrose Abbey, 1822, pencil and watercolour on paper, 19.6 x 13.3cm, private collection
and these are some more things I've studied that I ended up really liking!
Edouard Manet: he was So controversial in nineteenth century Paris it's ridiculous, and i found it fun to look at all the layers of constructed identity in his works! Most well known for Olympia.
Chez le père Lathuille, 1879, oil on canvas, Musée des Beaux-Arts Tournai
Caravaggio: LOVE the horror and detail and drama of his works, third life enjoyers might like all the beheadings skjfhdg. highly recommend looking into this guy's life story and historical context because he. man. he sure was a character! it's also hilarious to read about how hated he was for painting in a naturalistic style. (and. the murder but honestly it seems like they hated his painting more)
Saint Jerome Writing, c. 1605-6, oil on canvas, 112 × 157 cm, Galleria Borghese (one of the tamest of his works skjdfh)
Hiroshige Utagawa and Katsushika Hokusai: had a unit on Japanese print making and !!! i hadn't known much about print as a medium but Holy Shit it's so versatile and the works by these artists are just stunning! want to look more into print for sure :D
Utagawa Hiroshige, Plum Garden, Kamata (Kamata no Umezono), in One Hundred Views of Edo, 1856–59, woodblock print, 34 x 24.1 cm, Brooklyn Museum
Awa Province: Naruto Whirlpools, in Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces, 1855, woodblock print, 36.5 x 24.4 cm, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Hokusai made SO MUCH work but his most famous work by far is:
Katsushika Hokusai, Under the Wave Off Kanagawa, in Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, woodblock print, 1830-1832, 25.7 x 37.8 cm, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City
Gothic architecture: haven't gone into much depth with architecture, really liked what i learnt though, and the round arches, ribbed vaults, and tall windows with stained glass are beautiful.
St. Francis Xavier Church, c. 1840, Amsterdam, Holland
and thank you so much for the ask!!! i'd love to hear more about anything art history related from you (or anyone else!), as specific or in depth as you like :D

Explore my bookshelf!
I was inspired by @warrioreowynofrohan
An estimate of how many physical books I own: By my guess, 150. I have some fiction but most of them are either field guides, poultry books or just old American Poultry Association and old American Bantam Association Yearbooks. And I have a few bibles and devotionals and stuff.
Favourite author: Tolkien! My favorite standalone book is The Hobbit and my favorite trilogy is LOTR (yes I am counting it as a trilogy because then I don't have to pick between them.) I never enjoyed the Silmarillon I'm afraid, there are no hobbits. I only read half of it. And equally, Cressida Cowell which is why I have a second HTTYD blog called common-or-garden-blog. The How To Train Your Dragon books are definitely my favorite series. I never got into the Wizards of Once. I'm sure the characters were great but I was already invested in the HTTYD trio so it was weird when I saw two characters that looked just like Hiccup and Camicazi but with their personalities swapped and the cognitive dissonance was just too much for me to get invested. I think I just struggle to not compare new media with the old.
A popular book I've never read and never intend to read: Twilight. *shrugs*
A popular book I thought was just meh: "Eragon." I read the whole 1st book of the series and more of the second and I still don't know why my uncle recommended it to me. I just thought it was bad writing.
Longest book I own: The Holy Bible. I am a proud Christian. It did take me a year but I have read all of it (okay I will be honest I did skim a lot of Leviticus though.)
Longest series I own all the books to: How To Train Your Dragon. Actually, that's the only series I own all the books to.
Prettiest book I own: I had a beautiful light blue leatherbound Bible with a flower on it but it got so worn out it can hardly be called the prettiest. Okay maybe it still can. The prettiest book I don't own is the anniversary edition The Hobbit that I got for my brother just so I could gaze at Tolkien's drawings.
A book or series I wish more people knew about: Apart from HTTYD which is something totally different from the movies and very underappreciated, I wish more people knew about The Great Turkey Walk by Kathlene Karr. It is an antebellum era historical fiction story with some characters you will love and root for disguised as a brisk, rollicking cattle turkey drive. I actually made fan art for it once and was super disappointed that there was literally no content for it on Tumblr at all like not even a mention. I'd say I'm biased because turkeys are my fav animal but 1. when I found out it existed I checked it out because it had turkeys only to discover it was a book that I had enjoyed in elementary school, I just totally forgot the turkeys were in it (even though they drove the plot.) I only remembered the other parts of the plot! 2. I gave it to my history teacher while we studied the antebellum in APUSH and she loved it.
For non-fiction, some recs are:
The Holy Bible seriously it's nonfiction fite me
Character Sketches Volume 1
Why Did The Chicken Cross the World sadly this is not a book that I own but I have read it twice. It's a fascinating examination of the history of chickens and how they spread all over the planet. (There are more chickens than humans, did you know that?
everything else is very specific to my little chicken and genetics obsession or a field guide, lol
Book I'm reading now: I've been trying to read Wheel of Time because a friend gave it to me. But it is chapter 11 or 12. At that point in The Fellowship we would be past Rivendale. In book 1 of this series (I don't even remember what it is called) we are traveling and have had 1 (one) event of interest happen so far. Also, I only tolerate the characters. Also this book is one of the biggest I've ever read and there are 12 more in the series. If I am ever to leave the stagnation and start reading again I need to give up.
Book that's been on my TBR list for a while but I still haven't got around to it: *looks at goodreads* ew those are the books I was interested in reading? No wonder I haven't read any they all look like they suck (except Catcher in the Rye, I actually read it and it was a real banger.) I guess Dealing With Dragons is a book on there that actually still looks appealing.
Do you have any books in a language other than English: I.. I've written a book short story in English and then translated and illustrated it into Spanish in a tiny sketchbook (and left the rest of the pages blank) does that count? (I would share the video but I don't want people to mock my Spanish I'm trying okay?)
Paperback, hardcover, or ebook? Hardback and softcover. I prefer hardcover since the ones that are softcover are looking a little worse for the wear. BUT to combat my worn out LOTR I bought a single edition hardcover because it was cheaper than 3 separate books but it turns out it is really hard and intimidating to read because it is so big and heavy so that was a fail.
#i really need to start reading again#it's just whenever I start a new book and its not HTTYD or LOTR it's like#why bother#the most recent book I've actually enjoyed was#character sketches

important question. thoughts on evrart claire?? and/or feedist disco elysium thoughts in general 👀
i have SO MANY thoughts >:3
firstable EVRART!! i love him i do genuinely believe he has martainaise's best interests at heart he's just ruthless & slimy & willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. and if it ends up also benefiting him personally in the process then hey that's a bonus! that post that's like "if evrart was thin/conventionally attractive he'd be everyone's problematic fav" is sooooo true. he's MY problematic fav at least! everyone who's seen me go insane over arvid knows one thing i can't resist is some terrible sleazy fat guy with dark hair and glasses LOL. trying to draw the evrartgirls out of hiding by posting derangement on main like the one the other day that was like "i'd rock his shit so crazy his lazy eye starts seeing straight" but have yet to see results. also the person who said "there would be fanart of harry sitting in his lap" SO CORRECT. like hello the sexual tension between him and harry is soooo palpable. two minutes into meeting this man evrart's like "ah yes, praise kink. i can exploit this" & starts calling harry his special boy and shit?? oughhhhh. i have yet to search ao3 for harry/evrart because i'm afraid to be let down & find nothing.
as far as other thoughts i have PLENTY about harry. prime candidate for characters who deserve some fucking peace & rest & healing & getting fat in the process. like how can anyone not see this sad wet beast of a man & think "ohhh i need to wrap him in a blanket and take care of him & cook him a nice meal"??? of course i was always gonna be insane for him after the gym teacher reveal like?? jean being like "yeah you really let yourself go since then" OK??? lmao. the franconigerian hardbody conversation with billie was when i had to finally admit i was horny for him like okkkkkk the denial of it all yesss~
i'm a strong believer in the "harry's chronic pain came before the addiction as the result of post viral issues and is part of why he started self medicating in the first place" & considering physical activity can exacerbate the problem my ideal little "let harry get better scenario" is: QUIT the rcm and fucking take it easy for once!! sprinting around for 6 hours a day probably isn't helping! clearly he's good with kids considering cuno & the speedfreaks & the teaching history so he should go back to teaching but not gym. i wanna see art cop harry turn art teacher harry. and of course he ends up with kim who can't help but spoil him a lil bit. imo harry should totally be with someone who's into body worship & both totally adores his body as is and adores it even more with all the changes that come along with healing. all his self loathing makes me SO fucking sad like "this body's worthless anyway no one ever does anything nice to it" fucking DEVASTATING line. so yeah I think it would fix him at least a little bit esp bcus it would totally play into his praise kink. like i don't even really ever imagine him & kim in an explicitly feedist relationship or anything but more a incidental wg as a result of healing thing & kim just loves it and harry gradually learns to hate himself less in the process. ALSO i have definitely thought plenty about the implications of electrochemistry expressing disappointment about the ice cream freezer being empty. like ok so the sex & drugs & pleasure skill is the one that concerns itself with food also. say less.
& then of course there's garte my little meow meow babygirl. really goes to show all i need is for a man to make me laugh & have cute chubby cheeks & i'll be like "i need to turn him into my submissive little puppy who i put on a leash & give so many treats". something about the way he's sooo sad and pathetic but also plays the big shot (like with the whole "bad ass" thing and "yeah i manage many many cafeterias" when it's just 3 and one is a kebab stand lol) just makes you wanna put him in his place. & the fact that harry is so easily able to get him to consider the stupid cock carousel bullshit makes me think ok you could probably also convince him to be your spoiled feedee even though he'd definitely be a brat about it. there's no real strong evidence towards this like with harry but garte totally has a praise kink too i can just tell & wanna use it against him soooo badly.
