So there’s this Aesir God…..

So Heimdall, huh ! Ever think of him? I do ! Way too much, and currently where I’m at (with a dear, dear friend of mine) is a Fix-it AU where Heimdall ends up living ! (Spoilers oncoming with the explanation of it all—as well as warnings for a) canon typical voilent and b) discussions of Trauma)

In the spirit of keeping it short;

The idea with this AU is that instead of dying in his fight with Kratos, once he gets his arm blown off, Heimdall doesn’t get the chance to summon his bifrost arm and eventually Kratos leaves him on the floor of the arena and stalks off and—too terrified of how Odin will react to the fuck up to end all fuckups bc it was his one job, after all—he flees into the forests of Vanaheim

Anyway; he ends up at Freyr’s camp and eventually Sindri’s house, where (so fucking slowly and painstakingly, might I add) he ends up “befriending” the Gang (Atreus saw smth in him and they all trust Atreus) but in this friendship of sorts phase he gets new armour made for him, and finally, finally takes his hair out of that hairstyle (which I fully believe he hated, and which gave him headaches) and the biggest change he could made to distance himself from Odin and Asgard; was changing his hair

But leon ! You’re probably (not) saying, that doesn’t look a lot like Heimdall? Yes ! I think he’d fully want to distance himself from who he was because oh how miserable that man is, and a completely different hairstyle was needed for that ! This post is getting long for my own liking, though , so if you have any questions drop em below ! <3

What is powder monkeys about ? Is there a story ? What does MK do ?

Powder Monkies is an Au that I thought of after some fever dream I had with a pirate Wukong going off on adventures in his youth. So I tweaked it to be after his Sail to the West. There isn't quite a story yet, just a bit that I'm working on right now. (Fanfic in the works, drabble somewhere in the Powder Monkies tag I'd have to track it down again)

The main thing it's about is Wukong and his crew, which includes people he's picked up (or found as a baby in MKs case). They stop along a bunch of islands in their travels (Including the Port of Clouds which is the heart of the Celestial Empire run by the Jade Emperor).

MK is Wukong's current first mate and is in training to become Captain when Wukong feels like finally retiring.

Hope this helps ☺️

10 Fics (and/or WiPs)

Rules: share the first lines of your ten most recent fanfics and tag ten people. if you have written less than ten, don’t be shy and share anyways.

Tagged by the hexcellent @evilwriter37! <3

I would like to tag: @absolute-maniac @lilliths-httyd-blog @animallover81 @firerose @holonium @ljf613 @howtodrawyourdragon @dayeongi @rosiethedragongeek @misterrttegrimborn Should you wish to partake :)

I will be putting 5 of my published fics, and 5 WiPs; placed on read below

The Boy with a Strange Name: “Son, you need to get a move on. You’ll have time to greet the neighbors another day.”

At the Wrong Time: “Okay, just keep a wary eye out.”

Nighttime Visit: It was his third cup already, and he could already feel a buzzing in his head, but admittedly today the rink seemed rather addicting.

Change of Flame: He dragged his hands over his eyes with a heavy sigh. “Dad, this wasn’t what we agreed on.”

Monster I Created: He could see the trap ready to be sprung. It was easy enough to dodge that, but he knew it was a single tunnel to where he lay.

Between Worlds: He made sure the medallion was perfectly wedged before easing his way down below.

An Extra Perspective: He looked down at the list warily. There were too many items scrawled on the sheet, and would soon have more additions.

Seige of Dreams: He couldn’t help but flinch as his hand went to stroke his cheek. He tried shifting his hands to remove it, but all that occurred was the creaking of the chairs as the manacles strained against the wood. 

Place for the Night: “Where are you going?” He came following him into the bedroom.

Do you have like a list of topics you aren't comfortable writing about? Besides the obvious (hate speech, non-con, pedophilia, etc)

Thanks for asking!

I'm putting a break under this in case some words are triggering for some people.

And please, if something makes me uncomfortable or I don't want to write it, I WILL let you know. So, don't worry if you believe you'll make me dislike you for asking if I'm ok with something.

Asking for permission is so much better than demanding I write it.

So kinks that I don't write for or am uncomfortable with are:

Anything to do with bodily fluids. Etc: blood, urine, feces, (Cum is obviously absolutely fine, just to clarify.)

Non-Con kinks are off the table UNLESS it is purely roleplay and is a consensual non-con.

Rape is a defs no, however. Even in roleplay. Stuff like hunter/prey kinks or rough housing during sex, is fine.

Violence/abuse is a no. It can be mentioned as a backstory or for angst reasons. But it won't be described nor ever the main plot.

I will add quickly; fighting scenes is fine (like action based stories).

Pregnancy kinks are a no. Getting pregnant and pregnant storylines are fine. Breeding kinks are a YES. But nsfw while someone is pregnant or forcing a pregnancy, defs no. Its a fine line, but I'll let you know if the pregnancy storyline makes me uncomfortable.

Underage characters included with nsfw are a MASSIVE no. Obviously. Please remove yourself from my page if you EVER wanted this as a story line. Having underage characters is fine, but this is purely as family, friend or somewhere in the story. NEVER included as nsfw or even hinted at any sort of relationship other than friendship or family.

Heavy stalker characters or story lines creeps me out, so none of that, please.

These are the big ones. And I'm sure I'll be missing a few but these are the base lines of the "No"s.

If you are unsure, by all means, send a message or even an anon ask, and I'll say yes or no. I won't kink shame you, we all have our preferences and naughty likes.

[pegasusknightcore]

i know i'm just another white woman online but i think the thing that is so frustrating/perplexing to me about tumblr's 2024 Rap Discourse is that it really underlines so many white people's inability to actually listen and humanize black people. it underlines the way that white "anti-racism" still dehumanizes and others black people.

they can talk about why anti-blackness is bad, and talk to other white people on here about why whitewashing is bad and why structural racism is bad but they can't actually handle black people saying the same things in their own words.

to be clear, i am no better here. i am constantly working on my internalized racism and my internalized anti-blackness. this is a lifelong struggle because we're socialized with white supremacy and it's so hard to undo. but consuming black art and actually listening to black people Obviously makes a huge difference because, well, it is humanizing.

even beyond that, when you hear people complain about sexdrugsviolence in black music, the fact of the matter is that those things are all products of white supremacy and the structures that people live within. but white people create art about similar things, no?

is Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B.'s WAP not a radical reclaiming of sexuality by women? yet we don't flinch when white women sing about sex on top of house beats.

when it comes to drugs, what's the difference between white people favorites such as TiK ToK and 50 on High all the Time?

we idolize Kurt Cobain and the violence he sings about frequently, but what's the difference between him and, say, 2Pac?

what's the difference? seems clear to me.

so yeah, listen to the rest of Kendrick Lamar. let the pain and wisdom in the words in The Blacker the Berry sink in.

listen to The Roots on Don't Feel Right and the way they present american fascism in a clear view in a way that it would take us white american leftists decades to understand.

listen to Public Enemy talk about black representation on Burn Hollywood Burn and the way that media has no interest in portraying black people in a positive light or any light that may upset white audiences.

but it's not just about conscious hip-hop and the oppression that black people face and have been speaking up about. all of the artists I've mentioned are so much more than that because, they're people who have so much more to them than that.

listen to Kendrick talk about love and heartbreak on LOVE. listen to The Roots enjoy the thrill of competition on Adrenaline. listen to Public Enemy just have a good goddamn time on Give It Up.

ultimately, the fact of the matter is that despite claiming to be anti-racist, when confronted with a black person talking about their existence, white leftists and liberals still find it easier to listen when it's "more palatable".

when people make you think about the white supremacy you participate in, it's a lot easier to ignore them, huh?

If you don't mind my asking, how do you go about drawing fat? :3

JUST THE EXCUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR

So, for me personally, a lot of the time when I draw fat characters, I'm not looking to specifically capture the specifics of fat as much as the feel of fat. Bulkier, rounder shapes in the right places that has a feeling of weight to em! A lot of that is intuition and simplification at this point, but it all works on the same frame as just any ol' person. Like take this-

For example. This is the basis for any body shape, not just the more average one that it may imply. Sure- it can be that average body shape:

But also a fat one too!

And a big part of that is knowing where fat usually tends to bunch up on the body, so lets take a look piece by piece! (Please keep in mind this is very simplified, and not completely precise in some parts)

THE FACE: Cheeks (in purple) and especially the chin (in light blue) are the places where a lot of the fat is gonna wanna gather and round out on your face! Additionally, theres a small pocket of fat beneath the cranium on the backside of your head. It's small, but it is there. I believe fat can build up elsewhere like the bridge of your nose and forehead, but generally speaking, you're gonna have a whole lot more buildup in other places first.

THE TORSO: A lot of the fat built up on the torso is gonna be sent to your tummy. More cushioning for vital organs, mostly out of the way, it just makes sense. Additionally, the lower backs fat builds up and joins with a patch of fat on your sides that forms what is typically referred to as the love handles to make that double belly look. Along with this, the immediate next target for the torso is the breasts, followed by the upper back!

THE ARMS: For this limb, a VERY notable amount of the fat present builds up on the tricep and bicep areas, lessening once you get towards the flexor and extensor areas. You can almost think of the arm as a sort of triangular shape, wide side starting from the shoulder and tapering towards the hand, which itself mostly builds up fat around the back of the hand and the fingers. The shoulders themselves don't build up too much fat unless you got a lot

THE LEGS: And finally, you can think of the legs having pretty similar curves to what you're probably already used to thinking. The front of the thighs getting a big buildup, along with the back of the calves, the other parts being flatter in turn. As far as the feet go- similarly to the hands, the top of the feet, along with the heels get most of the buildup, as fat on your soles would impede mobility. The glute, hip and crotch area will also especially build up fat, lending to the same triangular shape that you can see in the arm!

A big thing to note with fat is that it tends to taper off towards joints. Your knees, elbows, shoulders, hips, and all the other places are gonna have significantly less fat so that you remain mobile and flexible, as that's important!

Now that we have an idea of where fat builds up on the body, you might have something that looks kinda like this

Which yes, does demonstrate a solid understanding of the places fat builds up, lacks the weight you're probably trying to convey, which brings us to out next point! Fat is well... heavy! Gravity is what gives fat much of it's shape, especially as you tread towards larger and larger bodies.

This is demonstrated really well on the arms especially-

Those big ol' bits of fat'll really start to sag when left hanging, and they will squish like hell if they run into something. I like to think of these bits of fat as big ol' ovals that squash and stretch depending on if there's an obstacle in their way or not

These are the important shapes to remember when it comes to the weightiness of fat! If you take all of this into mind, you should be getting something a lot closer to that shape you've been after!

Oh, and always remember that fat bodies come in all variety of shapes and sizes! Play around with a whole lot, and seek out all the resources you can! it'll really lend to your knowledge when it comes to this kinda stuff!

And as I always recommend when it comes to learning art- look at what your favorite artists do with fat bodies. See what you really like about the fat bodies they draw and try to replicate it in your own work, I promise you it's one of the most helpful things ever.

This is like the most basic of basics when it comes to drawing fat bodies though. If there's any additional thing about fat bodies, or maybe you want clarification on something, don't be afraid to ask! If there's enough to cover, I'll make an addition to this post!

[13eyond13]

you ever think about how Misa's lack of intelligence and the way she lets her emotions impulsively dictate her actions was kinda constantly made the butt of the joke in DN, yet she genuinely outlived all the dudes and dudettes who were always scoffing at her stupidity. Somehow this is even better to me in that she wasn't even trying to outlive Light and didn't have any particularly high regard for her own life, so it's not due to her secretly being the best strategist of them all intentionally either... Regardless of the author's intent behind it I like that it pokes some holes in their constant smug assertions that you must have the very highest IQ to be the last guy standing in the murder notebook game

[insertdisc5]

Insertdisc5 you have gone on record stating that Siffrin’s home country was not inspired by England, despite Vaugarde being France inspired and Siffrin’s old country being in a geographically similar location as England is to France.

You have clarified in the past it was inspired by a different country, so my question is this: while we have no confirmation on other Europe inspired countries their is a conversation between Odile and Mirabelle where schadenfreude is mentioned. This is a word originating in Germany which leads me to believe that somewhere there is a Germany inspired country. This being the case, and if the forgotten country isn’t England inspired, that implies the hypothetical existence of an undestroyed Fantasy England!

I find this deeply concerning. Should the world of ISAT prepare for the horrors of the British empire? Is the greatest threat to Vaugarde not the King but the Queen? The Queen of FANTAY ENGLAND?!

While the idea of Siffrin being British was disturbing I was comforted by the idea that England had been destroyed and wiped from memory. The idea that there is even a chance that England still exists frightens me to my very core. (Not that England doesn’t have a right to exist, it’s just historically speaking in the ISAT world we would probably be better without it.)

Please respond with confirmation that ether the hypothetical country in question has never existed or that it was rightfully destroyed.

Thank you.

why are you trying to find reasons to make fantasy uk real. go read lord of the rings or something.
