Day 4 of me trying to get better at writing

CW: Assholes and child abuse. Sorta.

If someone had asked it, Espa would have said it did not have favorites.

Bit if it were to actually make a tier, Ms. Ann would be somewhere in the middle of it. She wasn't very stern, but she was a little tough to deal with when stressed, which was an unfortunately common occurence. Mr. Juste would be near the top, with all his treats and headscratches, although his punishments were tougher when they slipped up near him.

Mr. X, however, would be at rock bottom of its list.

“Espada!” Espa tried to supress a flinch. She despised having him at the back of the room like that. “Have I told you to stop counting?” He spat.

“No, sir!” They yelled, catching their breath.

It started counting its repetitions out loud. From the fucking start, as he liked. Espa couldn’t see his face, of course, but they’d bed he was ripping a vein out of his ugly scowl. It fueled its animosity into its arms, gritting its teeth.

Espa was in a wide gynasium, with a bunch other weapons and a handful of equipment. They were doing some bimonthly conditioning sessions while most handlers and leaders did their occasional meetings. Espa didn’t know what they were about. It wasn’t their business to know. Her business was to keep up with whatever was thrown at her by the person assigned to assist them in training on those days.

Which this time, to everybody’s dismay, had been Mr. X.

Espa finished her push-ups. She moved on. The next part of the disgustingly long course the handler had set up for all of them was—of course, she thought, with a hint of annoyance—running. As they resisted the urge to take a sip of water—which could very well earn them a few hits from the belt—and got up on the dreadmill, they took a glance at their siblings on the other stages.

Sabre was already at the leg press, on the back of the room. Lilo was panting hard, limbs trembling, and had just gotten on the wooden floor at the left, accompanied by other five, to do his push ups. There were seven on the treadmill with it. Espa looked foward before Mr. X could catch her distracted and started running.

“Lilo!” X’s voice startled her. “I want fifty more outta you! Stop being such a pussy!”

Espa didn’t dare look on his direction. But it wasn’t hard to guess Lilo wasn’t doing very well. He’d need some massage and maybe some drink later. Espa supressed a twitch of her eye. X, of course, wouldn’t care. He had something personal against Lilo. Once, they’d overheard him talking to another handler about how he wished the higher ups would greenlit for refurbishing him already. A chill had perked up Espa’s spine that day. It didn’t want for Lilo to be refurbished. It’d never see him again. The other handler had laughed and patted Mr. X on the back, talking something about everybody knowing why Lilo hasn’t been refurbished and probably wouldn’t soon.

She did a favor to her own mind and did not remember the rest.

Finally, Espa catched up with Sabre at the leg press. It felt really uneasy having Mr. X behind it, without being able to see what he was doing. Not that his sight was an exactly pleasurable one. He was sitting down on his chair now, on the other side of the wall, as if guarding the door, spiky hair tied back into a short ponytail, with a few controllers—nope, don’t think about it—on his left hand. They side-eyed Sabre, in a way of saying “Isn’t him the worst?”

“Right? Poor Lilo,” he half-gestured to him, agreeing. “He probably wants him to mess up so he can have an excuse for shocking him.”

“I wish they’d forbid him from training us. He’s gonna get the newer ones killed one of those days.” She sent in a glare

They catched a supressed laughter. “Oh, you think he’d care?” Espa gave him a defeated smile in answer.

If it were with Juste, or even Ann—anyone, really—they’d be allowed to chat normally. Mr. X, however, didn’t like them opening their mouths to let out anything that wasn’t whimpers of pain or a “Yes, sir!”, so they had to improvise. X said it was soo unproductive and distracted themselves, and their siblings, and himself, and wasted breath, or whatever.

Sabre finished his repetitions, and Espa went back to focusing on the task ahead it. There were only three stages left on the course, and from her spot, she could see that only one person was in the last two. She was panting very hard, movements wobbly, and Espa bit her lip. At that rate, she was probably gonna be the first one to pass out. X would end up shocking her awake. As if having the same thought as them, she slowed down a little bit. Espa glanced at X anxiously, wondering if he’d complain, but as always, he was too focused on Lilo, watching him like a hungry eagle, ready to punish him at any slip up. That didn’t help the knot curling into her stomach. She looked away.

As Espa finished her bit, tights burning and sore, she dared to catch a second to catch her breath, throwing her head back and inhaling deep. X was focused on Lilo. It was okay. When her vision stopped spuning, she went to grab the spot Sabre left when he moved on with the girl on the next stage.

There were fifteen of them behind her. They were going to stay in there for a while.

Ok hear me out: Narilamb but they're both aroace and in a qpr.

I've been rolling around in my head for like a long long time this idea that Narinder and Lambert could both be aroace and (after like. A couple of centuries or so) end up in this like very comfortable very close relationship that neither of them define as anything specific other than calling it a "companionship". But on the other hand most of the cult thinks that they're dating in secret or something despite the fact that both of them have said they don't take lovers, because they are clearly very tight but maybe not super openly so, so maybe the cultists thing they're being secretive and hiding something or something like that. Idk but my aroace brain loves thinking about extremely close (mostly) platonic relationships and for some reason my brain decided hmm. I'm going to take this and throw it at Narilamb and see how I like it.

So then I decided to make a ridiculous joke comic about Narinder asking Lambert's hand in marriage specifically because he wants to get out of paying taxes. Because like, I know that spouse followers do actually still have to pay taxes in the actual game but. Hey Narinder and Lambert have presumably never married so they probably don't know that...? Honestly the only reason I made this was because the concept tickled me and I spent too much time on this for no one to see it, so. This comic and all it's absolute ridiculousness be upon ye.

While there's a tiny part of me that's been thinking about making this into an AU (which I'd probably call something like the "Strictly Platonic AU" or something), I know for a fact that I would blatantly not do anything legitimate with it so. It's an unofficial AU I guess?? But. Anyways. I thought this would be funny. Enjoy my ramblings and I hope you enjoy this thing that I spent. Actual time on. Lol

Don't even look at each other before marriage

A plushie manufacturer reached out to me a couple of days ago, asking if I would be interested in a collab with them and I of course said yes!

So many people have already made JayVik plushies inspired by the show, so I was thinking about having Jayce and Viktor plushies made based on my designs for the knight/prince AU.

Would you guys be interested in that?

deadclaws badassery where it's revealed Wade and Logan tested the distance on Logan's hearing.

Watch them hundreds of feet away from each other in the battlefield and all it takes to set Wolverine loose is for Deadpool to mutter "Logan."

IWTV Characters as:

Toasters!

Anonymous request!

Lestat:

Insane. Does it work well? No. But who cares when it looks like that? She hasn't toasted a piece of bread in years but she will sit prominently on your counter nonetheless.

Louis:

Fun to look at but confusing to operate. Needs 3 different adapters to function. If you can figure it out it makes perfect toast every time. This toaster heats up immediately and takes hours to cool down.

Armand:

Petite and adorable but looks can be deceiving. Keeps toast in a cage while it cooks. Passed down from your great aunt. This toaster is a fire hazard and should be handled with caution.

Claudia:

Equal parts cute and effective. Tries to look complicated but really just wants to toast bread, and a lot of it. Can cook at two different temperatures simultaneously. The devil works hard, but this toaster works harder.

Daniel:

Still looks and works great despite being an antique. Only has two settings: burnt and more burnt. A strong exterior that can take a beating. This toaster is fine being a single slice machine, two slices are overrated.

Santiago:

A bastard creation with a cursed aura. Makes everyone uncomfortable and yet nobody can look away. Only looks like this to upstage the microwave. This toaster lives to make you uneasy.

Last one for the night (it's 5:30am help). I love doing these so please submit requests for characters/objects you'd like my take on!

... Gigan Rex and Megalon kinda did deserve it...

Minus one won't hesitate

MEGALONHOWTFDOIDRAWYOU Stupid bug and his lack of references...

I'm just saying if you're writing smut featuring trans people and you find yourself ONLY writing pre-op transmen as receiving penetration. ONLY writing your transmen as submissive.

You should really take a step back and think about why this is.

Also consider including trans people who have gotten bottom surgery. I'd like to see more of that. Or transmen using straps. That'd be cool too thanks.

Mal's Teen Wolf rewatch: Currents (3x07)

[smoozie]

Hate hate hate that Scar has this rep of being bad at the life series or being one of the quickest out. It is one of the most infuriating myths I am clawing at my hair. The worst he's done is 9th place. The quickest he's been out is 6th. Skizz and Tango have never placed better than Scar. Bigb, Bdubs, and Ren have only placed better than him once. None of these guys are treated as though they are in any way incapable. Stop infantalizing and belittling Scar
