SURRENDER

• I am not in control. If I ever try to make my own decisions without consulting God or decide against His plan I am betraying God and condemning my soul

SACRIFICE

• Do not cling to dreams, friends, health, nonbiblical inspiration, comfort, or hope that anything in this flesh life is ever going to be important or matter. Only serving God matters. And no it's not ok to care about unimportant things sometimes. Only care about pleasing God

SUFFER

• God is best pleased when you lose, when you deny, when another part of you dies, when you collapse in defeat after fighting Him and His will. Embrace suffering as a blessing and rejoice in it. Suffering should not be the opposite of happiness. It should be the cause.

HATE YOUR LOVES. KILL YOUR LIFE. MAY IT PLEASE THE LORD.

yayyy 1st art of my rubbermon sona finally done! inspired by @squeakitties' amazing work, it's a dragonair/reuniclus hybrid. the latex slime on the outside is kept in liquid form and can be breached. however its body inside the slime is very very sensitive! bc reuniclus is a psychic type and i love to talk, i think it would be able to 'speak' telepathically and potentially (with a lot of practice) move things with its mind :)

[lalunanymph]

since there's not much going on in my brain lately and my l&ds and ultraman rising obsession is stronger than ever, i have a few ideas lined up for you to choose and help me decide on what to pursue next <3

option #1

☆ the making of a mrs/the making of mrs.qin (fluffy, smutty, forced proximity mhmm, fake marriage, angsty, lots of crack scenes) the idea: stuck in the N109 zone and with no way of leaving until you figure out how to remove the aether core bond between you and sylus, you take up his offer (and begrudging help) to try and blend in with his high-stakes, high-rewards life. how? by learning struggling to be his wife

option #2

☆ dearest dead (angst, arranged marriage, second chances, u will want to slap zayne fr, not l&ds!mc) the idea: after the death of his beloved girlfriend, dr. zayne is offered a role in a secret project that promises to reverse her cruel fate - on the condition that he marries his boss' daughter. driven by grief and desperation, he accepts, willing to do whatever it takes to bring her back to life - even if it means sacrificing his marriage

option #3

☆ untitled wip (second life, second chances, isekai, kenji is so down bad, mystery, inspired by tswift's so high school, mighttt be a one shot idk) the idea: you met kenji sato when you were 15. ten years down the road, he's a famous baseball star and you're engaged. then, your fiance does the unthinkable - murdering you in cold blood. but, when you open your eyes in a different reality, this time as kenji's fiance, youre faced with the question of continuing this facade or trying to find him back in your original timeline

thank you <3

There's just something so cathartic for me when it comes to writing from Astarion's POV. The parallels are hard to miss at times. That's why he feels so familiar.

I get inside his head only to find myself looking in the mirror. But I can find a way to handle it with him. Through him. He's a vessel for all the things I vow myself to be able to deal with one day. He's safe and easy to navigate around. He's the representation of something that hurts but causes no harm.

There's undeniable comfort and safety in what feels familiar, so I am naturally drawn to his mind. To how he works. To what fleshes him out as a character.

What an amazing character to explore in all his paths and forms.

[sophistired18]

The bristle of door chimes ring causing Kuroo to scowl.

"Oi, Kenma! I thought I told you to close up shop ten minutes ago!" Kuroo gripes.

To that, he only receives a quiet scoff from across the room, where Kenma's busy fidgeting with his new gadget Shoyo found at the dump the other day.

"Geez," Kuroo mutters under his breath as he drops his screwdriver, pausing on his current project. "Hey, just letting you know that shop's past closing hours already." Kuroo says aloud to the entering customer, rubbing his forehead as he makes his way to the front desk.

"Well, last I checked," a familiar voice drawls out, "the front door still says open." There's an annoying smirk that follows at the end of their sentence and Kuroo finds himself making a similar expression.

"Of course it's you." Kuroo groans. "And my day was running so smoothly too."

"Just our luck, huh?" The voice teases as they set down a busted piece of metal on the counter.

"Yakkun, as a regular, you should know when the shop's closed." Kuroo states with annoyance yet he's already taking a look at what Yaku's brought him.

"As a customer, I know how to read when a sign says open." Yaku jabs back, crossing his arms.

"Well, technically most customers can't read, so..."

"Kuroo, trust me, I wouldn't be here either if I didn't have to. It pains me that you're the only nerd I know who can fix this for me."

Kuroo gives him a pointed glance, but Yaku knows there's no real offense behind it. Kuroo's all bark, no bite. Well, with him at least, from what Yaku's deducted from the past three years of knowing the engineer.

"Plus you're the only nerd who I know will fix my shit even after their shop's closed." Yaku adds, a knowing grin plastered on his face.

Kuroo groans again. "Fine. What is this scrap metal you dumped here. Before I fix it, I gotta know what it is at least." Kuroo says as he analyzes the mess of bolts, steel, concrete powder, and the questionable dark crust that nondiscreetly resembles dried blood.

"It's my gauntlet." Yaku states. "Was. Was my gauntlet."

And a bold statement it was.

"WHAT? H-HOW?" Kuroo sputters, aggressively glancing at Yaku, then to the supposed gauntlet, and back to Yaku again.

"Chillax, the dude deserved it." Yaku shrugs. "I tried to clean most of the blood, but I didn't wanna break it even more. You can thank me." Yaku says flatly and even gives Kuroo a small bow as if he deserves such praise for his consideration.

"YOU WANT ME TO THANK YOU?" Kuroo gasps. "Yakkun. I am a scientist. An engineer. I'm not a fucking miracle worker. And this bloody piece of crap needs a miracle to even stay in one piece!! I'm not even sure you understand what my job description is!"

"Duh. You fix things. That is what you do, right? Or did you find a way to get paid by complaining all the time?" Yaku snipes. "Can you fix it or not?" He asks genuinely.

Kuroo glances at him for a moment before looking back down at the crushed gauntlet in front of him. A few seconds pass as Kuroo contemplates. He lets out a sigh. He already knew what his answer would be, he just didn't want to make it apparent how quickly he already decided.

"I can try." Kuroo says. "No guarantees, though. Might need a whole upgrade, honestly." Kuroo mumbles, his hand reaches his chin as he looks for what parts he can salvage.

"If you weren't covered in grease and oil, I might just kiss you."

"What?"

"How long you think it'll take?" Yaku leans over the counter, trying to see what Kuroo was looking at.

Kuroo feels his face heat. "Uh. I dunno, I'm not sure yet. A few months, a few more? Hard to tell based on how there's barely anything worth saving." Kuroo exhales, his hand rubbing his temples.

"That bad, huh?" Yaku hums, as if he isn't the culprit of the damages. "What about payment?"

Kuroo's mind jumps straight to Yaku's previous comment. "I-" Kuroo stammers and hates himself for it. "How about we wait on that one as well? We'll see how much I need to invest in these. When do you need it by?"

"Hm. How considerate. The next time I need to punch someone I suppose." Yaku chuckles.

"I do take good care of my customers."

"Well, don't worry about this one then. Just get them done whenever you have the time. I'm not gonna be wearing them for a while anyways."

"What's that imply?" Kuroo questions.

"Commander put me up as a probation officer. But honestly they're probably gonna put me on probation instead." Yaku laughs lightly, but there's a story here that Kuroo doesn't have all the pieces to. He's not sure if he's allowed to pry any further.

"I'll try to work on it in between projects then. Bring me your other one too." Kuroo decides to say instead.

"Why? Afraid I'm going to punch someone else?" Yaku chuckles.

"I dunno. Are you?" Kuroo jokes. "No, it's just that if I'm going to fix this one, I might as well tweak some improvements on your other one."

"Oh. No, you don't need to do that." Yaku says waving him off. "You're going to make a broke man outta me. I'm already getting paid less as it is."

"Yakkun, it's fine." Kuroo insists. "I won't add this in, it's on me."

"How come?" Yaku looks at him.

"Call it a favor." Kuroo shrugs. "Besides, I want to. So just let me, will you?"

"Alright." Yaku pauses. "Thanks."

"Anything for a regular." Kuroo smiles.

"I'm not a regular, Kuroo." Yaku scoffs. "Just because I know you, doesn't make me a regular."

"Yet you come by all the time. That makes you a regular."

"I come like twice a month. And I don't even buy anything most times!"

"Still a regular!" Kuroo muses. "And it's sweet to hear you admit that you just wanna hang out with me, even during work hours. You can come by more often if you want, I don't mind."

"I- That's not- What if I just wanted to see Kenma instead?" Yaku huffs.

A quiet voice from the corner of the shop rises. "Keep me out of this." Kenma interrupts.

Kuroo laughs and Yaku rolls his eyes. "Just admit you miss me." Kuroo taunts.

"In your dreams." Yaku replies, already turning for the door. "I'll see ya around."

"To check in on progress?" Kuroo asks, trying not to sound too hopeful.

A small smile forms on Yaku's lips. "Sure. To check progress."

He gives Kuroo a nod and leaves the shop. Kuroo chuckles to himself as he hears the door chimes ring and the sound of the 'Open' sign being flipped to 'Closed' outside.

"Your other customers already think you're biased." Kenma speaks. "Wait til they hear about this."

"You know, I hate it when you act like you're not in the room but you say shit like this." Kuroo scoffs. "C'mon. Let's go home."

[gale-force-storm]

last day of NNN, how’s everyone’s Gales doing?

Ha! You think Gale made it more than 2 days, max. If he was somehow convinced to try it to begin with (which is a big "if" lbr), he might make it one, maybe two days, specifically if he found a project to hyperfocus on. But our dear wizard is 1. pretty impulsive, and 2. deeply head-over-heels crazy about his dearest darling Tav. Sure he probably spent a full year without getting himself off, but that's much easier when one is alone and depressed with the knowledge that doing so could potentially kill you. Now? Happy, healthy, and orb-free, with his wonderful partner sleeping next to him every night? No way in all the hells.

I don't think Tav would even have to do anything to try to seduce him. He'd wake up one or two days in, Tav warmly curled up in his arms, his morning wood pressed against their hip, and before he's even fully awake he'd start grinding against them, and by the time he was properly awake he'd be far too worked up to be able to even think about resisting.

And sure, Tav could stop him and remind him of what he was trying to do. But where's the fun in that? ;)

could i bother u for more thoughts on faith and max in a mock apple orchard 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

@gayafsatan — I would absolutely LOVE to brainstorm some fun ideas of them in a mock apple orchard!!

I've been replaying again so they've been rotating around in my mind a lot extra hard and was especially thinking about mock apple picking bc the botanical labs also has a lil orchard where you can pick mock apples up off the ground! But I'm currently in Roseway so oughhh.. ideas....

I want you now I am going to ramble a LOT so please bear with me I swearsies it'll be more fun if we get the full lore dump from my brain 😩💖💕

👇 ROSEWAY THOUGHTS 👇

(I AM GOING TO TALK ABT ROSEWAY THOUGHTS AS A WHOLE AND THEN EASE INTO SOME SILLY MOCK APPLE ORCHARD IDEAS AT THE END OKAY. OKAY ILY THANK YOU).

–

My thoughts are very chaotic and rambly so let me try to walk though my ideas lmao

Roseway is typically where I peg Faith's death wish arc happening, and to summarize what all that entails, it's when the mask slips and the weight of everything finally hits her in full force.

I always envision this story happening over a long period of time so a lot of time has passed since first arriving at Edgewater and the Groundbreaker.

Halcyon. Her situation. Her identity. The life Phineas threw her into abruptly and his expectations for her. Making split second moral decisions where no matter what someone is going to get hurt. Being so alien and alone, no one to understand her or believe in her predicament but having to be the mysterious competent captain regardless.

It finally gets to her. Bad. And she makes some self destructive decisions. She gets sloppy, careless, hoping someone else will end this nightmare for her. Until they almost do.

I am swiftly brushing past many details so we don't get too lost in the sauce. But Max went after her, found her collapsed and injured bad, carried her back to the ship for Ellie to do whatever she could, and then stayed by her side for as long as it took for her to wake up.

This is such a key moment for them getting closer. Because there was a lot of frustration and emotion and being forced to confront the possibility of feelings existing, but nothing they fully understand or are ready to acknowledge as such yet.

She tries to brush past the subject of what happened, deflecting everything until he raises his voice in a way he hasn't since she gave him the journal and she threatened he never talk like that to her again. And it was enough to break through her facade, for her to show just how utterly broken and vulnerable she is, and they have a proper fucking conversation about where she's at mentally. He still isn't ready for the truth about her life before. But it's a step forward.

There is a lot of patience and understanding and just. Yeah. A lot happens here. Some walls come down. There grows some room for them to become softer and closer over more time.

All of this is important because a short piece I had written a long time ago took place in this area roughly after this incident.

It was a personal outlet vent piece, I will be honest. When I wrote it it was after I had a very bad panic attack after an awful scare. And I wrote it into Faith because I just wanted to get some feelings from that experience out of my system.

The shortened version of that one is Faith recovering from a bad episode, trying to calm her breathing, waiting for her ears to stop ringing and for her vision to come back. Her legs gave out on her and she was sitting under the mock apple trees. Her voice locks up on her when she's seriously distressed. Yadda yadda yadda, Max had brought along his datapad so she could communicate anything important and she was incredibly confused because she knows he doesn't like using his datapad ever and then rendered even more speechless to know he brought it specifically for her in case something like this were to happen again. It ends with her just asking if he would keep talking to her, and they sit there under the mock apple trees for a while, in no particular rush to get anywhere.

And after this point, I think the mock apple orchards become a really peaceful, therapeutic spot for her when she just wants a moment to herself. Sits there, breathes, takes in the Roseway scenery and collects herself before jumping back into the horrors of Halcyon. Spends some time picking mock apples to take back to the ship.

I've been having a lot of ideas of her asking Max to go with her. I'm of the mind if she'd ask directly that he'd either decline, or at least pretend to be uninterested but she's the one who asked so he accepts the offer.

But I can see her being vague and just saying that she's heading out if he'd join her and she leads him to the orchards. By this point they're already often in each other's company, she indulges his interests often, letting him be the one who is finally listened to. But in general, they get along very well in conversation when it comes to a handful of similar interests and their personalities and attitudes bounce off of each other well.

(In my story anyway, since she spends an extended amount of time in Edgewater and the Vale, there was also a lot of time spent doing some early bonding with Max. So do with that info what you will. They're not likeee besties yet but they're much more than strangers by this point, ya'know? Just to get an idea of where their familiarity with each other is at and why there's enough respect and trust to some extent already existing. Not to mention how much time they had spent on the Groundbreaker).

They'd be having such a peaceful time away from the rest of the crew.

Oughhh hear me out, okay, Faith loves to bake. She doesn't even ask, she just makes Max hold her bag open while she starts collecting mock apples and after they finally head back to the ship she figures out how to make mock apple pie for the crew 😭 we already know Max doesn't care much for sweets (I wonder how sweet or tart a mock apple pie would be.. Faith girl what all Halcyon ingredients are you adding to that bad boy) but.. what if.... After everyone goes to bed...... He tries some anyway........ Because she made it..........

Most of what's bouncing around in my brain is them early on having wholesome bonding time in a spot just for the two of them. Just enjoying each other's company. Realizing they have genuine respect for each other, Faith feeling like she found a genuine friend who went to lengths further than anyone had in her entire life to make sure she survived. I am specifying Faith's feelings here intentionally. I write Max in a more complicated spot very blinded by his revenge scheme more or less unaware for a long while just how much the lines start blurring between his faith and his Faith. To put it succinctly. (Look I know I'm always drawing The Good Stuff™️ but in actuality their relationship is suchhhh a slow burn. They are not the most romantically inclined people lmao).

But also.. once she realizes she can talk to him when she needs to. I think coming back to this spot, off the ship, away from the crew, she just likes it there. She likes being there with him. She finds comfort in that spot.

OKAY BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE WOULD BE CUTE.... they should come back here.. post-scylla and post-gorgon...... Ya'know......... The first being when they establish not wanting to be apart and the second being when they want to make that partnership a permanent one......... ASKING HER IN THE MOCK APPLE ORCHARDS WOULDN'T THAT BE DARLING ough okay I need a minute my brain is going too fast to comprehend

My Roseway ideas aren't the most cleaned up I know BUT so many important bonding moments exist and oughhhh LOOSE IDEAS ARE STILL WORTH TALKING ABOUT OKAYYYYY

I just want them to go mock apple picking together and learn how to get smiles out of each other and not understand why it makes their chests hurt but they know they need to do it again

ACTUALLYYYYY post-scylla when he's much more mellowed out and they're the closest they've been I think would be so so nice. they'd be so much softer and he'd probably be so much more involved in wanting to enjoy silly lil activities with her.....

Currently imagining him reading out loud to her, all the conversations they'd have, maybe he brings his tossball cards to show her, maybe they bring one of the lil games, have a lil makeshift picnic....

Godddd the transition between just how much enthusiasm he shows spending time with her is enough to make me explode. Can you see my vision. The reluctance, to the hesitancy, to becoming absolutely inseparable.

I HAVE A LOT TO THINK ABOUT BUT I'M GETTING SLEEPY SO SENDING IT!!!!!!

Literally feel free to add on or share your own thoughts I'm begging you lmao I promise there is so much room for ideas to be fleshed out and better put together, I'm mostly just spitballing what all I think would be incredibly fun ideas to work with. Plus I'm kind of thinking across the timeline and how much their relationship would change between each visit. And how over time they would enjoy it more and more and make each visit more special than the last.

WAIT BEFORE I LOSE THE THOUGHT!! They make a stop RIGHT BEFORE HEADING TO SCYLLA TO GO TO THE HERMIT'S LODGE!! Oh that could hurt so good omgggg. Okay okay I need to stop now I NEED TO STOP.

Another rapid answer post for all your asks on my main fic

Time travel? Ehhh... I don't much care for time traveling in fics.

No plans on it

I mean, that question does spoil a lot if that was my plan.

What spoilers? My answer is still the same from the last time I was asked this.

Yeah I remember that in the comics. No that will not be in the direction I am taking the main fic.

It's mildly radioactive. Spicy, but as harmless as a banana.

a) Corpsefucker-bot of course. b) Hard time coming up with on here, but he would call him that "Statue-of-Liberty-lookin' motherfucker." c) Starscream doesn't need a nickname, but instead would be accented with "Starscream, that fuck." or something of the like. d) Edgelord-bot, Baby-bitch-simpy-bot, Parasocial-bot (when He's feeling particularly scholarly). e) None. There are few that Alan wouldn't fuck with. Overlord would be one of them.
