When Emira and Connie were sat at their table, she flashed her best friend a smile. "I'm so glad we're doing this tonight. We've needed a bestie catch up session so I'm here for it all," she chuckled before taking a look at the red wine list first before food. "I haven't been here in so long. Would you want to split a bottle of wine?"

[gravitywhatgravity]

my aot ending hot take is that eren is actually a p complicated character in that he's human and hence has multiple motivations

yes he wanted his loved ones safe and yes he wanted to destroy the world out of spite. and yeah, he probably internally uses those motivations to justify his own actions. he's a guy with time as a flat circle in his brain who was traumatised as a kid and never learnt to be any more mature.

it's the same way he wants Mikasa to be happy without him but also he wants her to pine after him when he dies. the same way he wants to sacrifice himself but also doesn't want to die.

I think the only "bad" read of his character is to say he exclusively had one motivation for any of his actions

"I've come to realize you don't call unless you're in trouble." Mateo appeared in the dingy gray threshold with the change of clothing she urged him to bring. "I ain't in the mood to get lost in whatever mess you've landed yourself into.." yet here I am. "Who we runnin' from tonight? Or can I just pay them and look intimidating enough for them to never look in your direction?" @champagneprcblem

Bunch of quick sketches/doodles that turned out cool but didn't really deserve their own posts. (When I say "quick" we're talking about 10-20 mins).

This one was inspired by a discord convo - it's Wolfheart casting spirit guardians by chasing her own tail (this one will maybe turn into something later, I do have ideas how she could cast other spells in that form). This one took me less than 20 minutes to make and I'm pretty happy how 'fluid' it looks. Possibly my best werewolf in motion.

An answer to a tweet.

The size difference chart was fun to make because I wanted to see how big Wolfheart is compared to my blorbo Janek (man I haven't drew him in what feels like ages) and then I added Emmie (i love her fluffy tail) and Buttons and Scratch and- you get the gist. The real curse of immortality is being stuck in an infinite loop of having to take care of multiple werewolves (poor Faust).

Yay, another Connie in a pocket!

The feet kickin Connie took longer to make than the other 4, but it's on a screenshot so... (also damn Shart you live like this? *looks at that grass growing inside her tent*).

I don't remember what this was for. But I love Shadowheart and Buttons here.

Idiot got himself polymorphed (again)

thamk u for reamding

( closed starter for: @connievanderbilt ) location: her pool

It was another gorgeous day in Aurora Bay and all Emira wanted to do was invite her bestie, Connie, over for some tanning time by her pool with drinks of course; and that's exactly what she did. Once she knew Connie was on her way, she got herself ready and made sure things were set up for them both by the pool. "I'm so happy you're here. I've needed a bestie date and some chill time," she said, wrapping her arms around her for a hug. "How are you? I've missed you."

“Oh god, no…no absolutely not…” Sloane pulled a face as she took a bite of a lavender macaron - wondering if her taste buds had matured but finding no, they had not. And putting lavender in food was still something she would never understand the appeal of. “You want to try? It does take like a mouthful of perfume but I don’t know, some people are into that.” Holding it out towards Connie as they walked through the garden festival trying to find a free space on the grass or at a table to sit down for a bit. They’d browsed the stalls for a while but the baby was getting fussy meaning she wanted to be out of the pram and in arms instead. Preferring being held above anything else at all times. “I really don’t get it, like why would I want to feel like I’m eating bubble bath. And they lure you in by making them look so pretty.” Grumbling as she spotted a shady spot not far from them under a tree, the grass beckoning. “Ah, we can go there! Quick quick before someone takes it.” She exclaimed, speeding up. @connievanderbilt

Which one is knowing, loving, being? Is that one about the blorbo Steven?

Yessss ahahah, this is the one with the Gem Steven design I won't shut up about on discord XD

(thank you for taking my bait and asking me about this fiUSHKFNSUGJH my evil plan worked)

E eeeeee *cracks knuckles* time to RAMBLE! I am so excited about this one, lmaooo. If you're wondering where all my "Crack the Paragon update progress" energy went these past few months, I am so sorry besties- but it got funneled to this project instead. I need to finish this goddamn fic by the end of the year like I need air.

The tl;dr of it all is that this story is my adult human!Steven/gem!Steven/Connie propaganda piece, and also a place to explore my personal take on how Steven works like,,, biologically,,, as a bizarre hybrid of two beings who are fused but also Not Really. Certainly not in the way fusion works for OTHER people.

Mind you, this fic is very NSFW, as will be the snippit I share- so the rest of my rambles will go under a cut. You have been warned.

Okay, so the broad strokes. This one's gonna be 4 chapters-

Chapter one will focus on a recently married 23 yr old Steven heading out to Rose's Room so he can work through some mental bullshit regarding the split he experienced as a kid. That trauma still lingers all these years later, and there's still so much he doesn't fully understand about... about what happened. About being outright cleaved in two. He ends up having the Room conjure a cloud version of his Gem half- the most unfamiliar and alien one of the two, to him- so he can try and talk out his confusions.

Chapter two features Steven nosediving into an obsession over an impulsive kiss he shared with that friggin' cloud version of his Gem half, and one thing kinda just leads to another, and well- said obsession ends with his component halves briefly split apart so they can fuckin' bang to work through whatever crunchy ass emotions they've got all stewed up in there. Progress wise, I am at this part of the fic right now, and I am having a lot of fun making this segment as "emotions and stimuli all mixed together" and intentionally confusing as I can. I am taking the depiction of "split POV" we had in Change Your Mind VERY seriously and literally, because I haven't seen too many writers dare to try.

Chapter three is mostly like, an interlude chapter- it's the aftermath of chapter two, where a confused and sheepish Steven opens up to his wife Connie about what he just experienced. In my head, my version of Steven is VERY demisexual, so he's like... just as "huh" as anyone else about what just took place. He and Connie talk shit out, and then Connie is basically like "baby. sweetheart. love of my life. why the HELL would you rip out your own gem like that, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, why would you ever do that when i'm not here to help you if things went wrong??" By the end of the convo though, Steven extends an open invitation for Connie to join in at some point and enjoy some intimacy as the three of them, both of his component halves and her.

Chapter four is entirely about that precise encounter, both the planning and the actual sex. The broad purpose I have in mind here is to showcase how such an encounter is something that's innately healing for them as a couple, in the way they get to re-contextualize this scenario in tones of love and trust and willful choice... as opposed to the horrid experience of being ripped apart by another's hand. I also just want them to get WEIRD about it, because like. Come on. Steven's half-alien. He (and the organic and Gem who combine to MAKE him) deserves to be weird about himself and the way he interacts with his own sexuality. And you just KNOW Connie would be into that. There is a lot of genital shapeshifting here, and they have a fucking great time.

I have overtly had the extremely general sketch of this idea floating around in my head since 2019, but never had the guts to actually tackle it until now. Now, though... I've actually gotten some practice with writing smut and feel confident in my ability to swing these scenes in the way I envision them, AND I finally have a circle of people who are down to talk about Steven being really goddamn weird about himself lmafo. Like, it's 2024, I'm allowed to ship selfcest if I want, fuck you.

But yes, chapter 1 is already done at 5.3K words, and I've got a solid 7.4K on chapter 2 (and rising.) For my actual WIP share, here is a snippit I recently wrote for chapter 4, working ahead a bit-

“So this is your idea of a big finale, huh?” he says with an impish smirk as he reads the last item on the list, a healthy dose of humor lightening his words. “Both of them fucking like rabid animals in heat as you merely lounge on the bed and watch?” “Oh, shut up,” she bites back, unable to even look her dear husband in the eye as she clunks her head down on the kitchen table, her cheeks burning like she’s destined to crumble to cinders amidst her own personal inferno of runaway lust. But Steven, damn that ridiculous man, won’t let her live this down. Ugh. Of course he wouldn’t. “Now, tell me… how long have you been secretly dreaming of this scenario?” She groans, mumbling her shameful little response straight into the table mat. “Only like… every other night since I saw you fall apart…” His rumbly chuckle— brimming with unquestioned warmth and just a tinge of bashfulness at the sheer risqué inanity of this never-before-spoken revelation— rings loud and clear, coating the whole room in its dense, chocolatey tenor. “What?” Connie whines as she snaps upright, her hands fidgeting on the table in the throes of such excruciating embarrassment. “What exactly’s so funny about that? I’m being very brave and vulnerable about this, you know!” He raises a placating hand, pushing himself through the final notes of his laughter before moving to respond. “Sorry, sorry, I promise I’m not making fun, it’s just— I guess you never really struck me as the, uh… the voyeuristic type?” “Does that… bother you?” she frowns, tilting her head a little. “The idea of me just… watching? I— it’s only a suggestion, we can always take it off, if you—” “No, I’m okay with it. Depending on how we set things up, I think it could be pretty hot. In fact…” Steven grabs for a pencil, and— waggling his eyebrows at her— begins to write one last line on their collective beat sheet. “I actually have a little idea of my own that I think would be fun to try out during this…”

🔥 topic: pieck

(drop a 🔥 for an unpopular opinion)

tbf i don't super know what's popular with her Specifically, but my complaints apply to how most female characters are treated in fandom, chiefly that the ships i see for her most do not compel me at all!! and i say this as a forever rarepair/crackshipper in several fandoms over. she has plenty of rich relationships in canon that need not be romantic and offer tons of insight into the position of eldians in marley (see these convos), shipping is the least interesting thing we can offer her

zeke? i think she's never trusted him for a second, and zeke isn't close to anyone/his canonverse anti-natalism is sex averse. jean? tons of people get tucked into armpits in battle here. porco? maybe my only really unpopular take, but imo she sees him as a taller warrior candidate—field experience matters more than similar age, i think her softness toward him is pretty much how she treats the kids. yelena? pieck's flirtation in liberio is mostly a means to an end. hange? idc they meet as adults, i think hange wouldn't be attracted to someone of an age with the 104th, and nothing they say about the cart is all that different to how they treat eren early on

my favorite favorite pieck interactions are with falbi and magath, the odd, cross-generational camaraderie that doesn't get emotional until magath's death, but i'm not a total killjoy who needs to justify every relationship with canon: at the end of the day i see her and connie as buddies who bond over elder care and unexpectedly remind each other of sasha and porco bc in general i hc the alliance fitting into/easing each other's losses imperfectly

Connie: Who else is hiding in the laundry room trying to listen to Jasper and Bonnie's convo?

Peridot: Me. I'm in the laundry basket.

Steven: I'm in the washing machine.

Penelope: I'm in the closet.

Peridot: We accept you Penelope. <3

Penelope: No I'm literally in the closet.

Peridot: Love is love. <3

Hubbies learning the extent their wives' traumas obviously, but what about brother-in-laws finding out about the extent of their sister-in-laws' trauma?

Ooooh, that’s an interesting and very good point. Because obviously their hubbies know their wife’s pasts, but to know their sister-in-law’s? That’s a bit different.

The hubbies are very good about keeping private matters private, so it would absolutely be up to the wifeys to choose to disclose those details.

The Twins know the basics of what their SILs went though, but I don’t think they quite grasp the EXTENT of what they each went through.

Those would be very, very interesting conversations. And deep. Potentially teary.

When do you think Bess would choose to go to Adonis? Or, how? Or would it be a scenario where he finds out because he overhears something, or perhaps he catches her in the midsts of emotion and goes to comfort her?

He knows she was abused and knows about Helena, but about the asylum, how young she was, and how her mother treated her? Nobody else has told him, and he wouldn’t want to hear it from anyone other than Bess anyway.

As for Connie, Wolf wouldn’t know about the drugs or her attempted su*c*de. Imagine the convo starting because he came across her in one of her withdrawal episodes. Just finds her at the medicine cabinet after after a stressful day, her eyes blazing and obviously not right in the headspace.

I don’t see Connie bringing it up without an incident forcing her to. She’s pretty insecure about it.

Ms Kelly and the Lab

Every day I get more and more suspicious that Ms Kelley may have been working for the lab.

Which sounds like a stretch, but think about it- the lab doesn’t know for certain what happened that night at starcourt mall. They didnt see it happen. But Max did.

Max, who Ms Kelley pushes to talk about that night (like, it’s so weird, usually a counsellor will give a person space to open up during a convo/let them talk- but during the scene at Ms Kelley’s house, Max is barely able to say anything before Ms Kelley is pushing her to talk about the night at Starcourt)

And the lab knows that Max isn’t going to talk to them willingly- after all, Max has seen the results of El’s life in the lab & her growing up being bossed around by Brenner, hence why in S3, Max is so big on pushing for El to make her own choices.

It’s also interesting that Ms Kelley has this red phone on her desk- much like the red phone from S3 that Nancy tries to use in the super super HNL paralleled hospital:

And she’s also got that fan behind her head, much like the HNL fans that we see all the time.

And this wouldn’t be the first time that a HNL employee worked/posed as a regular employee, it’s the same with Connie pretending to represent the Indiana AV club in S1, and those Hawkins Power and Light employees who seem to work for both Hawkins Power and Light and for the lab.

Anyway! This isnt a full analysis on this idea by any means, just some thoughts!
