What do the dorm leaders + a few more students do when you leave them without saying goodbye / you go missing? (Series: Part 2)

──────⊱⁜⊰──────

Genre: Fluff/ Angst

Pairing: Leona x Gn Reader

A/n: Ooh It took me a while to create an update of this, I’m still in my second semester hell but I got a bit of time! So, I decided to write something for our dearest Lion, also I wanted to note that I’ll be doing this based on the book chapters, for example, Riddle First, Leona Second, Azul Third, and so on… I hope you like this part! I loved writing every part of it.

Credits: The design was made by me in Canva and the art that was used is all from the Official Twisted Wonderland Cards.

Warning: Cussing, OOC Crowley (lmao), smitten Leona, slight blood mention Masterlist Part one (Riddle x Gn Reader)

──────⊱⁜⊰────── Sypnosis: You went off already, actually, they didn’t even know where you were right now, Grimm was worried about you, where have you gone? You just vanished into the mirror that you were talking to every midnight, he knew that he should have listened to his gut feeling when he realized that you were warning him about your sudden disappearance. The moment he went dashing out of Ramshackle, paws cold from the snow that he stepped on and it was really bad that when he needed Hornton he wasn’t there.  Savanaclaw:

Leona: He was annoyed when Grim started screaming outside of his dorm in the middle of the night causing all beastmen to wake up due to his ruckus, but his annoyance vanished when he realized what the furball was saying. You were gone, while he looked indifferent outside, telling Grim to calm the fuck down because he can easily hear him without him screaming in his ears, he was a bit worried. (Just a bit)

“Oi, can you tone down your screaming?” he grabbed Grim by the collar as the kitty sobbed, “Calm down, we’ll help” He sighed, causing Ruggie to stare at him surprised, “What do you mean we?” Leona scoffed before he threw Grim at him. 

“This furball will just keep on screaming if we leave him” He sighed, scratching the back of his neck. Ruggie huffed “Well, it’s surprising for you to immediately agree to help though” he whispered to himself, Leona could clearly hear him, but he ignored what the other said. It was rare for you to leave Grim all alone, you two were practically attached to the hip, so you vanishing out of nowhere was odd, did you finally get back to your homeland? You didn’t talk about it, but he can see how you look at others when they’re with their families and he knows that look. It was a look he had when he was younger, when Farena was the golden child, and he was the black sheep. 

He wanted that kind of familial love from his parents before, but they never gave it to him. You probably missed your family in your original world, he understands the feeling, but he can’t help but feel a bitter ache in his heart. Did he and the others not make you feel at home here? Sure, they overblotted and probably could have killed an herbivore like you, but he’s a changed man, surely you didn’t leave because you got sick of him or the others, right?

Of course, he went to interrogate Grim, asking him various questions, and after a few hours of barking orders to his fellow beastmen, he went to Crowley personally to ask, he was running out of options, and he was starting to feel that his theory that you went home was right. The last time Grim saw you was you got sucked in the mirror that was inside your bedroom. He tried to check on that mirror too, he didn’t feel any type of magic in it, it was just an ordinary mirror. You’d know he’s already at the edge of his seat trying to find you when he asked Crowley out of all people for help, denying the feeling in his gut that you were truly wiped out of this world.

“You’re saying that the prefect vanished?” Crowley put his hand on his chin, he was a bit annoyed about how calm Crowley was, and he crossed his arms glaring at the guy. “Did you send them home?” He questioned, getting straight to the point, which made Crowley shake his head “No, I didn’t, I have yet to find the portal back to their homeland, but this is certainly worrisome, I’ll try to help you find them, and can you summon the other head wardens for a meeting?” Crowley walked past him, Leona’s eyes following him. “I’ll be getting the teachers involved, this is a missing student case after all” He murmured, now that’s the sight he likes to see, somehow his opinion of Crowley increased. He guessed Mc became important to him as well. 

However, despite the ton of effort to find you, none of them got any leads, the ache he was feeling from before got worse, he found himself awake than asleep most of the time, his head was aching, it was affecting his health too. When the housewarden meeting along with the teachers happened, of course, the majority of them volunteered to have their housemates search for you outside and inside, Crowley couldn’t get any officers involved since you weren’t officially in Twisted Wonderland, you were a walking unregistered herbivore; it was dangerous, it could get the school closed so he had to ask his staffs and students to help around, which no one complained. Everyone cared for you, you helped them one way or another; helped them grow as a person and as a mage, it made him fascinated that you get to change almost everyone in this school in just a few months of your presence, and you’re magicless even. 

The improvement of the school happened because of you, and you just vanished out of thin air just like that, like some God who graced everyone with their presence only to leave once everything was sorted out. What about him? 

Leona couldn’t help but feel numb, eyebags evident on his face, it was so unlike him to be overworking trying to find you, you were just a herbivore to him, someone who had the audacity to annoy him before just to gain his help. Ruggie was worried about him too, the guy tried to ease him into that he would try to use his “connections” to gain more manpower to search the whole twisted wonderland, it made him laugh, he was a second prince, he had more connections that can help with the search than Ruggie, plus he knew that you weren’t here anymore. He couldn’t accept it at first, it was just slapped on his face multiple times.

Your scent continued to fade as the days continued, he didn’t have any motivation to do anything else but try to find you, find you, and find you for the first few weeks health be damned, but when you manifested in his mind, festering him to do something else, to try to finish third year, then maybe during internship he can find leads to you. He decided that if he plans to continue to persevere, then he will. After all, he was known for his tenacity before. 

Ruggie was surprised when one day, Leona started to become focus on his studies, Leona was sometimes going to class, just enough to the point he could be promoted to 4th year, where he could do internships.  He thought that Leona might have forgotten about you, which kind of annoyed him, was Leona only good at doing stuff in the first place and abandoning it once he realized it was futile? Of course not! Ruggie slapped his cheeks and shook his head, Leona could never, he’s mischaracterizing his Housewarden. 

While the search died down, plenty of students gave up because they kept reaching dead end after dead end in their search. Grim was often with Ace and Deuce, he noticed that the furball lost a lot of weight and he often seemed out of it. Most of the students who knew Grim understood the devastation of losing someone whom he treated as family. They try to get Grim to eat more, but he always ends up either overeating or not eating at all, the only housewardens who get him to eat normally are Vil and Riddle who have strict diets for him. Riddle is more lenient due to knowing Grim longer than Vil. 

The housewardens get split custody of the Cat, and the main custody being with Riddle, Ace, and Deuce. Leona barely gets any time with Grim, and when he does, he usually just gives him to Ruggie. One time, Grim got really upset at him though.

Leona flinched in pain, blood seeping out of his arm, a scratch mark forming on it. Jack jolted and grabbed Grim’s arms, subduing him immediately. “Grim! What are you doing!?” Jack yelled out, gripping on the squirming cat. 

 “You! Out of everyone here, you’re the one who’s always so calm and relaxed!” Grim cried out, glaring at the Lion. Leona glared at him as he used his magic to heal his arm. “Do you even care! You just gave up after a few months!” He continued, biting Jack making Jack let go out of pain, and when Grim jumped on Leona. He got grabbed by the scuffle. 

 “What makes you think I stopped trying to find them?!” Leona snapped, gripping on the cat, as if he’s a cub misbehaving, this was annoying, people thinking that he doesn’t do a lot when in fact he’s been giving more than just effort  “You think I’m not trying my best here!?” He lets Grim go who is surprised at his outburst. “Shit” He pinched the bridge of his nose, Jack carrying Grim again. “I’m really sorry Leona” He apologized on Grim’s behalf, but Leona just waved him off. “It’s fine,” he said, looking down at the cat. “But I want you to understand that some people just prefer doing work behind the scenes, just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean they’re not trying.” 

He really was trying. The you that was cuddling him in his dreams, playing with his hair and kissing him, telling him to do his best. That had kept him sane while trying to find you. It was stupid and pathetic, but at least he knew that somehow, he never forgot your face, your scent, and your voice even if it took years. Even once he graduated, even if Falena tried to set him up with other Beastwomen or some high-ranking princess. He rejected them all, in favor of waiting for you, despite not knowing if you’ll ever come back. 

He never even got to tell you his feelings before you vanished, if he did would that make you not go back to your own world? Even after a few years, your friends had already graduated, he was working in Sunset Savanna, temporarily because his brother asked him for help, he was busy jumping from place to place to maintain connections and build new ones so while his brother is gone, he was the one in charge, Cheka was already in Junior High school dreaming of getting inside Royal Sword Academy where his friends would be around as well as his father encouraging him to enroll there due to being an alumni, and his sister in law kept festering Leona about mates and stuff. 

Right, did he tell you that he kept the mirror that you vanished from to his room? When he finally graduated, he felt that he needed the mirror, so he decided to buy it from Crowley, who graciously gave him the mirror without any complaints. Sometimes, he looks at himself in the mirror, hoping to see you behind it. He really wishes you would come back. 

He went to sit down on the edge of his bed, sliding himself into the covers, his bed feeling cold and needing another, he stared at the ceiling, wishing in his mind that when he woke up, you’d be there, touching his cheek. 

Drifting into sleep, he dreamt of you again, a dream that he saw multiple times after you vanished, his head laying on the soft plush of your thighs, he stared up at you, who was looking down at him with a soft smile, he nuzzled the hand that you placed on his cheek, placing his hand on it as he guides your hand to his lips, kissing it. 

 “I miss you” he murmured in his dream, your hand felt incredibly warm and soft right now, it felt… real. Maybe whatever Deity from above decided to pity him today and give him your touch that he was constantly seeking.

He didn’t want to wake up, the warmth of the sun hitting his body except for his face which you were shielding it from. The moment he lifted himself up, to go nearer your face, he wanted to kiss you now or else he might never feel this surreal experience ever again, a blinding light suddenly flashed in his vision, causing him to flinch. 

 “Oh, sorry Leona” a familiar voice apologized, making him groan and blink a few times, was he still dreaming? He felt his head resting on something else and not his pillow, it felt softer. When he finally was fully awake, he realized that he was in fact, not dreaming anymore. He looked up only to see you, in the same position as you did in his dream. 

“Herbivore…” he froze as you rubbed his cheek gently. “Yes, I’m here” You hummed as you pushed away a bit of his hair just to see his face better. “Oh wow, Leona you became prettier!” you giggled, causing him to sit up, grabbing your cheeks, he examined you. He can’t believe it, it really is you, he’s not dreaming anymore. 

“How? What?” he questioned, glaring at you maybe this was a trap, if this was some doppelganger or some shapeshifter, he’d turn you to dust, but the way you weren’t scared of his glare made his will falter, you were warm, you were there, your scent was there too, nobody can replicate that.  “Herbivore you’re back” he finally caved in, pulling you into a crushing hug, which you gave back happily. “I’m back Leona, I’m sorry I vanished,” you said, burying your face into his shoulder. “You idiot, I definitely deserve an explanation for this” He growled out, not letting you go at all.

Purple 13 but Leo is the one saying it to reader? I think the irony of Leo being the one to tell the reader to be serious would be funny (in an angsty kinda way lol)

When in doubt, use a one-liner (rottmnt Leo x reader)

prompt 13: “You almost died and you’re making jokes?”

summary: even after being flung through the air, reader still has jokes. Leo is not amused.

relationship: Rise!Leo x GN reader

warnings: canon-like violence, turtles vs. foot clan, mention of reader getting hurt but nothing graphic

word count: ~970

A/N: i slightly changed the dialogue prompt to fit better. this one was really fun to write lol 

(english is not my first language. constructive criticism and grammar corrections are very appreciated!)

– – – 

Leo cursed under his breath at the current situation. You had begged him several times to tag along for patrol with the guys. Every time he had said no, because of how dangerous it was. It gave him much more peace of mind knowing you were at a safe place to come back to after patrol than having you with them, where a fight could break out at any moment. 

He reprimanded himself mentally for having given in on you earlier that day and letting you come along. He just couldn’t resist your begging puppy eyes. Your happy face when he had finally budged was almost worth it, if it wasn’t for the current events. Right now you were crouching behind some wooden crates, hiding from the Foot soldiers. They had crossed paths with the turtle brothers and a fight at a construction site had erupted.

Shooting glances in your direction every so often that it almost cost him a punch in the face, Leo tried to keep tabs on you as well as kick some serious butt. In the corner of his eye he could see a Foot soldier being launched by one of his brothers through the air.

You were also regretting tagging along now. Not so much because of the fight in itself but more so because of you not being able to support the brothers. You had no knowledge of martial arts and the like, and you felt like you were being a burden to Leo right now, as well as a liability. The last thing you wanted was for a Foot soldier to find you and hold you hostage or something, hence why you were trying to hide. And up until now, your presence seemed to have gone unnoticed by the enemy.

That is, until an unconscious ninja from the opposing team came crashing down on the stack of crates. You shrieked in surprise, throwing yourself back so as to not be crushed under the now cracked wood pieces.

“You okay?!” Leo asked before using his sword to teleport behind a Foot member and throwing a punch.

“Yeah, I’m fine!” you answered from where you now sat, very exposed. 

Looking around frantically for a new hiding spot, you saw that the Foot was being cornered back by the turtle brothers, and were very likely about to retreat. You held still where you sat. Maybe if I don’t move, they won’t see me, you thought. 

In immediate retrospect, that was a dumb thought.

The Foot Lieutenant, now climbing up on a crane and thus gaining a higher viewpoint, made eye contact with you, and you felt how you froze on the spot. 

“Get them!” he ordered in a raspy voice, his arm extended and finger pointing at you. 

You heard someone call your name, but you felt like a deer in headlights, watching the remaining Foot members starting to move towards you. 

“Run!” you heard the voice call again; it was Donnie. He picked you up with one of his metal spider arms and gave you a light push away from them. 

Stumbling forward, you found your balance and dashed across the dusty ground. Where to, you didn’t exactly know. You turned around and saw the turtle brothers hold off the Foot soldiers from coming nearer, except for one that sneaked around the group and was about to attack Leo from behind, who was approaching you to ask if you were okay. With his back to the enemy, Leo didn’t see him. 

Your legs moved faster than your brain. With a “Watch out!” you pushed Leo out of the way, taking the full blow of the Foot soldier’s kick into your side which was meant for the turtle. The force sent you flying and you crashed into a pile of sand with a grunt. Better than the pile of pebbles, you thought to yourself with a grimace, seeing other building materials around you which would have been much more painful to land in.

Leo called your name with panic in his voice, quickly dealing with the Foot member that had kicked you, and came running to where you inelegantly lied in the dirt. 

“Are you out of your mind?!” he asked you angrily, and you felt like it was a rhetorical question. “What were you thinking?”

You tried sitting up but winced at the sharp pain in your abdomen, and plopped back down onto the sand. Leo’s eyes darted back and forth on your body, not sure what to do first. He turned around and saw that his brothers had dealt with the rest of the Foot, who were now retreating, and allowed himself to relax a bit at that. At least they were dealt with. 

Turning back to you and sheathing his sword he sighed deeply. Now the anger in his voice and eyes were gone, replaced by worry.

“Can you stand? Are you hurt anywhere?” he asked, his hands roaming over you, not sure where to hold on to help you up.

You lifted your arm to cover your face with your forearm. 

“I think there’s something wrong with my eyes” you said with a groan.

“Did you get sand in them?” Leo asked with almost mother-like worry, and reached up to remove your arm so he could see your face. Instead of pain or a squint, he was met with a smirk on your face.

“Because I can’t get them off you” you said and gave him your best seductive wink you could muster given your aching state.

You had never seen Leo make such a deadpan face, and you heard Mikey and Raph chuckling behind him.

“You could have died and you’re making jokes?” Leo said incredulously, unsure how to feel at the moment.

“Learned from the best” you said and double finger-gunned him.

A/N: alternatively, reader could have ended up saying: “Heh, I guess you could say… I fell for you.” lol

What is your favorite and least favorite My Little Pony art style in terms of toy design and show/other media design? What I mean is do you like how the ponies look in one medium but don't like how they look in another medium and vice versa.

I have no experience in critiquing toy designs but for animation designs, i liked the styles in both G3 and G4. But I bet you’re wondering by thoughts on the other gens. So, essay time!

G3 style cleverly adapts the old MLP G1 designs by keeping the ponies horse like with small, yet rectangular muzzles, small pointed ears, a stocky build yet streamlined enough to be easier to animate, detailed hair and doll like eyes to make them more expressive. There is a problem though, all the ponies share the exact same design with different colour schemes and cutie marks telling them apart. The only ones that break this is the unicorns and pegasi, which don’t get featured nearly as enough as the earth ponies. Now, I understand this is purely to save up on animated different body types and this is perfectly understandable, you don’t want your animators to work their fingers to the bone. But when all your characters are practically identical and the only way to tell them apart is colour schemes, that’s just bad character design. Simply changing up their hairstyles would make a huge difference

Case in point: these are the main cast (credit goes to @heckyeahponyscans for this scan) without their colours and they all look identical, save for the cutie marks.

G3 also has the same downside that G1 had: being so on model that it’s limited in expression (along with the disadvantage of budget direct to dvd animation) There are some characters that do work like with the regulars like Minty, Rainbow Dash cos they’re the most theatrical characters in the show but that’s it. When the ponies are on model, they look their best, but when the animators try to make them look in front view or be expressive, it ends up looking so off. If they had more skilled storyboard artists/animators, it would’ve fixed this issue cos the actual character design is fine, albeit very standard. It’s all down to awkward animation

(This pic is from a scene of two ponies arguing, apparently. Look, I’m all for polite disputes but is no one gonna frown or get cross? This is just unnatural)

I still love G3 cos it has great stories outside of the weird animation, but I would’ve loved more moments where the character animation was like this:

It just brings them to life a bit more.

Now G3.5 is another story. Because a lot of kids media went through the chibi-fication phase (see TTG, Care Bears Adventures in Care-a-lot) it only makes sense MLP would do this too but the added bonus is because of this drastic change, they make the ponies a lot more expressive. With the emphasis on bigger eyes and smaller bodies, it leaves room for more dynamic character animation

Granted there’s still moments where the character’s expressions are stilted and awkward cos this was from the same studio as OG G3 but it’s amazing how much a change in art direction can make a big difference. The ponies also get more customised hairstyles to fit their personalities from Rainbow Dash’s sophisticated ponytail (lol) to the studious twintails with the Y2K flower hairpins that Cheerile wears. The two younger ponies, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are also drawn smaller compared to the others which helps give them more a unique silhouette.

Now G4’s design is the perfect marriage between expressive character animation and toy-centric cuteness. The ponies can look cute one minute and absolutely deranged the next and it won’t look like the ponies broke every facial muscle for doing so. And this has only improved as time went on. There’s a reason why there were so many reaction memes were made from this.

The character designs are much more stylised, with even smaller muzzles and anime-esque eyes, streamlined bodies, different hairstyles and body types are present and even cutie marks are much more detailed and clear. MLP before then never knew how to animate cutie marks properly.

While the heroines follow a simple, easily manufactured for tv character model, so many side characters have different body types from short like the CMC, stocky like Mrs Cake to tall and slender like Celestia and Luna. There’s even character models for old, withered ponies like Granny Smith or Grand Pear. And don’t get me started on villain designs. I think MLP G4 is the first time since G1 that it had unique villain designs. (Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon and especially Discord)

You can tell a lot of heart and passion the artists went into making a more gender neutral and diverse character design into this generation. I think the only downside is nitpicks: I wish the mane 6 had incorporated the unique character models that the other side characters have inherited

Finally: The only art styles I can’t stand is G1 and G5

G1 suffers from 80s TV animation which had even LESS BUDGET than direct to dvd shorts 20 years later, so if you thought G3’s animation was stilted, bruh you haven’t SEEN NOTHING YET. What’s worse is that the character are constantly drawn off model, because the character designs are copy pasted from the toys with very little changes and outside of colour schemes and wings, the ponies all look identical. Even the baby ponies don’t have their own character, let alone even colour schemes, they’re just reused designs of their mothers but drawn slightly smaller. It’s eerie seeing baby characters that are just direct clones of their parents. That is some Dolly the sheep shit.

I will give credit for having some wild villain designs (Erebus, Grogar and the Smooze) and even some unique pony designs from the Clydesdale ponies in one episode to the Big Brother ponies to even the Flutter ponies.

This combined with the many different species that inhabit Dream Valley compliments the fantasy setting of G1. But not surprisingly for a first gen, there’s a lot of room for improvement

And finally, G5. I haven’t watched enough G5 (I’ve literally watched the pilot movie and that’s it) to make a solid argument so take what I say with a grain of salt and personally… I’m not a fan. Nothing against 3D animated ponies. I think it’s a natural step up since 3D animation is a much more preferable medium in both cost-effectiveness and commercial appeal. However I’m not a fan of the more realistic look to the characters. While it’s still stylised, the eyes are much less pronounced, the bodies are more regularly proportioned and the teeth is oddly detailed. They look less like “little ponies” and more well, regular horses. It doesn’t help how G5 is trying so hard to keep its roots in G4 when it’s supposed to be its own thing cos the design philosophy of the show match the philosophy of FiM which was stylised above all else. This is why I prefer the 2D shorts much more.

In conclusion, in terms of story, I rank each gen:

1. G3 and 3.5

2. G4

3. G1

4. G1.5 (MLP Tales)

(Can’t comment on G5, haven’t watched enough to judge)

And most importantly, in terms of design and artstyle:

1. G3.5

2. G4

3. G3

4. G5

4. G1/1.5

I hope that’s answered your question, Yui :)

I love your blog. It always makes me happy when I see one of your posts cross my dash because they remind me of my grandma. She was a docent at a modern art museum for many years. My grandpa used to joke that she’d been there so long she started to blend in with the art - she was always wearing bright colors and giant abstract jewelry. For a long time, I was the only grandchild who had the interest or attention span for it, so we went to a lot of museums together. She was really passionate about art in general, and modern art in particular. I thought she knew everything you could possibly know about art. We could go to any museum in the city, and she would tell me about the history and technical aspects of all the pieces. She was a very warm, loving grandmother, and she was never the type to talk down to children. She was always so happy that I shared her interests and I just loved being around her and learning everything she wanted to teach me. The museum she worked at has a few Rothkos in their collection. She loved them. She was always a big fan of his work. I hated Rothko. Every time we saw the paintings, I told her it was ridiculous that they were in a museum because they were just squares and I could’ve painted them myself. She would always say, “These paintings are in a museum because they’re a new way of thinking about art. If you’d thought of it first, then your paintings would be in the museum instead of Mark Rothko’s.” I think she was a little disappointed that I favored representational art as a child. My grandma did eventually teach me to appreciate abstract art, among many other things. She died when I was in high school and I still miss her a lot. Honestly, I never learned to like Rothko’s work, but whenever I’m at a modern art museum, I check if they have any of his work in their collection, just so I can go sit in front of it for a while and appreciate it for her.

Thank you for this sweet story

[crowleyholmes]

Friend, forgive me, I’m an idiot because I didn’t realize some of my fave good omens art has come from you until like, just now. Goddamn, your art is stunning!!! I literally gasped when the one you just posted with Crowley’s back and the snake and the wing came across my dash. The rain one also gets me every time I see it. Thank you thank you thank you for sharing your art. Genuinely one of the best parts of this fandom family is seeing all creativity in drawing and painting and writing that comes from everyone. Anyway, hope you have a good day/night! xx

Aaaaaahh Kate, you're so sweet, this made my day, thank you!!! 🥺

I've been stuck in such a bad artblock recently where it felt like nothing I made was worth anything and I wasn't satisfied with anything no matter how much time I spent on it, but this one was so fun to work on and it was just such a fun process from start to finish it may just have broken me out of that mindset... fingers crossed... 😅

And people left such lovely tags and comments on it while I was asleep, it was such a massive mood boost to scroll through that this morning I'm so :')) This fandom is so wonderful it's so full of the most amazingly kind and enthusiastic and talented people I love it here 💕

[lokisis]

every time spamton art crosses my dash I check the likes immediately to see if you’ve seen it, and if u have I’m like RATS! I can’t give my friend a little treat.

I crawl thru the spamton tag like a fucking sewer rat and the best part is that I don't even open it, it arrives at my doorstep pre-packaged by my mutuals

Anyway sorry I'll try not to see as much spamton /j

[whamber]

Hey, just wanted to say how much I love your art. I’ve found naddpod stuff is hard to come by but you absolutely fill that gap. Especially your hardshine stuff: istg every time I see it it just gets better. I also absolutely love your roleswap au. Just. Your art is incredible and I’m always so excited when it crosses my dash.

This is so sweet 🥺I always feel weird publishing asks like this because it feels like I'm just gassing myself up but if you've ever sent me a sweet message in my asks like this just know ilu 😭

[xoxoemynn]

I saw you sending and receiving a bunch of love so I wanted to join in!!! Anyway you have been such a constantly positive and lovely face on my dash for so long and I just love seeing you there. Where the Daylight Begins still is probably to this day my favorite edstede fic, it literally changed my brain chemistry, the magical realism enchanted me, and I have been avoiding reading the rest of it since you finished it because I don’t want to be done with it. I wish I could read it for the first time all over again. Every fandom I’ve been a part of I have always run into someone who writes the most beautiful and amazing and long and dedicated and creative fic and I’m always in awe of them and they really define my fan experience in some way. You’re that person for me for ofmd. I just admire you a lot as a writer, and when I think of ofmd, I of course think of the show but I also think of wtdb and crossing the meridian (which you should read if you haven’t) and all the beautiful art by all of the gang here on tumblr dot com. And also I think you’re a lovely person. Anyways enjoy what I hope is a lovely letter and I feel like even though the show is cancelled there’s still such an awesome community of us pirate nerds here that will live for a long time because of what the show gave us and I’m just glad you’re a part of it too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈

Oh my goodness, I just woke up and you've already got me looking just like this:

This is SO extremely kind, thank you!!! That story is so special to me and I've been sitting here for about 20 minutes now trying to think how I can express just how much your words mean to me. I have typed and deleted about 17 different attempts. I just really wanted a setting that felt like all those good feelings OFMD brought us — a place where everyone could feel safe and love and accepted for exactly who they are, a world that was like ours but a little more magical. I'm just so glad to hear it resonated with you. 💖

And you're SO right! The show may be canceled, but the fandom isn't going anywhere! There are still so many stories to tell and artwork to create and scenes to gif and characters to analyze, and a whole lot more friendships will form because we keep doing all of those things. A love like ours can't disappear in an instant.

SO very happy you're here, and thank you for such an incredibly lovely message. 💕💕💕💕

Tag at least six people (can be more than six if you want), and say at least one nice thing about or to each of them. Can be mutuals, can be people you follow, can be people you don’t know but just happen to exist in the same circle(s) with. All you gotta do is tag them and say something nice about/to them :)

I was tagged by these lovely people (and decided to pull an uno reverse card on ALL OF THEM >:) : @bottleofchaos , @rebelwithoutabroom , @findinghomes , and @wolfboypunzo

@findinghomes- Finn, you make every space you enter just a bit more brighter, always a kind word to say to someone’s latest creation. Your writing never fails to take my breath away. You manage to capture such raw emotion, you put so much of yourself into your writing and it shows!!

@blocksforbrains - hiya Blocks!! I feel like it’s been a while since our paths have crossed, but we’ve been mutuals since before this blog was created, thanks for sticking around for the ride :)

@latenightsinmay - May!! Gosh, it feels like we’ve been mutual for forever. You’re someone I’ve come to depend on, still hanging on during the rainy days. Thanks you for quality tags and some amazing pjo posts

@wolfboypunzo - Asher!!! You lovely sweet human!! A frequent goer of my inbox!! I’m happy we found each other, you’re a little ray of sunshine, always with something kind to say. You’ve stuck with me through it all, and I’m happy you’re here.

@mahikamihan - Yumi!! Your art never fails to warm my heart!! I love how you always encourage those around you, it’s always a good day when I see you on the dash. Thank you for always bringing the community together by proposing fun little events, our fandom is brighter with you in it

@demonstars - nunki!!! I can always count on you to understand the cdnf demons. Your skillfully crafted posts never fail to shatter my heart in two, thank you for keeping the demons and insanities of Dnf alive and well

@hearvex - fun story H. I randomly saw one of your edits on YT before you joined the fandom and was immediately shocked. It was utterly stunning, unlike anything I had ever seen. Imagine my surprise when I saw you on tumblr, it was like seeing god at Walmart. Being mutuals with you has always been an utter delight, this fandom is better with you in it :)

@rebelwithoutabroom - Taizi!!! An awesome writer and an even better tumblr mutual. Thanks for being my hype person whenever I’m pitching fic plots, and thanks for letting me bounce ideas off you. I can’t wait to see what you create next, I’m lucky to have you as a mutual

@bottleofchaos - Ocean! Thank you for always being there to back up my Greek mythology/ Dnf parallels, you are an absolute gem! There’s always so much humanity in your fics, a fitting reflection of the person writing them

@jupitersthirdstar - Jay!! Thank you for the top tier fic recs and being someone I know I can turn to when things get a little crazy here. I love your loveposting, keep doing your thing!!

@froggyrights - hi Charlie! I know we haven’t been mutuals for too long, but I’ve always thought you were hella cool. I started playing undertale on your recommendation, and I feel like that set the tone for the sort of mutual you are (someone with absolutely based takes)

@rosy-skies - Rosie, oh my dear Rosie. If there was anyone that had to be part of all this I’m glad it was you. Thanks for being *here* with me, seeing the side of me that’s here online. It’s been an utter delight having you here, love ya

@suenitos - Nov, one day I’m going to hold you accountable for your web weaves because they don’t leave me teary eyed every. Damn. Time. You have an incredible scope for all the emotions a human can feel, thank you for unknowingly introducing me to some of my best inspiration

@minecraftdog - Mandragora!!! You always leave the most delightful things in my notes and all around one of the kindest people here, I’m happy to know I have you in my corner

@bagelrites - resident skephaloer and maker of adorable art!! Your stories are always so cozy, thank you for making our corner of the fandom all the more lovely with your creations

This is the part where I’m brave and say wonderful things to people I’m not mutuals with but I still need them to know that I think they’re amazing

@anonysage - your art never fails to take my breath away. You always manage to capture so much intimacy in your work, weaving an adorable narrative into everything you create. Thank you for sharing what you do with this fandom

@wolflyndraws - your designs are utterly STUNNING! The colors you use are always so bright and your Dream design is perfect in every sense of the word. I love all the darling au’s you put Dnf in, I get so excited seeing your creations!!! (Also I am an AVID enjoyer of your mermaid au, the colors you have for the tails are MARVELOUS and bright and just so so fitting for the people they’ve been crafted for)

@jun-hug - your little blob doodles always put a smile on my face!! I have two younger siblings who also enjoy your art and we love ‘awww-ing’ over the adorable drawings you’ve made!!!

[babykittenteach]

I LOVE your art so much. It’s always really fun and gorgeous, and I’m so excited every time it crosses my dash!

You mentioned trying to find a place to post your nsfw art. I don’t know if you’ve considered AO3, but it’s a great option that 1) allows folks who don’t have Twitter to see your work, 2) let’s people leave comments and 3) let’s them bookmark favs so they can come back to it.

AO3 probably won’t have the same reach as a social media post, so it could just be a link you share in addition to posting on twitter? Just a thought! But as someone who loves your work but had to delete their twitter, it’s a really accessible option.

OKAY so this has been sitting in my inbox for a while and I was like, that's a good idea, I should try it, signed up for an invite, and then promptly forgot about all that because of the cancellation until just now seeing more people have problems with twitter and being like, OH RIGHT. So I have made one, and will be making a single work into which the explicit stuff that didn't make it onto tumblr can be posted in their own chapters. Hopefully backdating to when they were posted means I don't annoy anyone. (It will take me a while, and since this is more intensive than posting to twitter, I may just update periodically instead of at time of crossposting? But hey, another option.) Anyway, thank you, anon. I didn't ignore this I just forgot about it. /o\ Anyway click here for the explicit art post, which I am slowly adding to. I'll make some nicer tumblr post when I'm done.

Hi,can you do a matchup for tfp(and-or)rid (and-or)tfa.(whatever you feel like honestly,even if it's just one of the above)

I am a fem with mid length thick dark brown very wavy hair(borderline curly).I have big brown eyes kinda round and almond shaped at the same time.I love exercise so I am relatively fit.My face is a bit rounded(big cheeks) with some angles.I am very pale but have a lot of moles one or two in my face but most in my arms and torso.I also have this weird birthmark(a tag in my one ear).In terms of fashion i like darker clothing with an occasional dash of pink since it's something that looks good on me.Flared pants,jean and leather jackets,leather bags from when my grandpa was in the army bcs they are functional and stylish(also they still look brand new) custom made bags with rock bands and a bag that looks like a duck(i like ducks).I also like custom made shirts with jokes regarding my personal interests (books,series ect...) and my messed up sleep schedule.

At first glance I am a bit reserved but if I am made comfortable I will open up(i kinda choose the people I will open up to).I love sarcasm and very dark humor.I will joke around a lot and I want to encourage people around me to be happy. I deeply love learning information in every form.I study physics because I love astronomy and I want to become an astronomer but I am also a big history/archeology/mythology nerd.In my free time I love learning new stuff(psychology, law, history ,random facts ect...),reading,working out and listening to music(fav song:soltitude).I like art a lot,drawing,reading about it,going to museums and exhibitions.I also love going out on nature and on all sorts of adventures but I dont have the right person to do that with.I deeply love nature and the sea since I grew up in an island.(I dont know if it helps but I am an intj)

I have clear goals in life,I am very ambitious,patient,curious and diplomatic but still have a bit of a nihilistic approach to life(in a good sense,to fuel questions about the world around me).

As I said before I can be quite reserved and appear as cold but I am a very sensitive person,an extreme overthinker.I feel insecure because when I get too comfortable/excited my voice gets really loud,I get all giddy and I have been told off about it enough times.I dont know how to receive a compliment or acts of friendship/kindness because growing up I had very bad experiences in school.However I like to be there for people and I want them to feel good around me.I like helping a lot by solving problems and being kind but I hate myself for it because I feel like I am showing weakness (but once I realise someone is a friend I am THERE no matter what)I also am the "I told you so" kind of friend but I am not judging(quite the opposite) .I deal with anxiety and I get lonely around people but I dont let it affect my social life,I really push myself out there no matter what and I always push myself to get back on my feet and keep going after bad experiences because we only have one life and we have to make the most of it.

I also am a very calm even during arguements,until someone crosses a line and hell breaks loose.

Sorry if its too long but I usually get carried away with requests,i hope its okay(maybe this it why only once in my life I got a request done by someone😂)

Hello anon! I’m matching you up with TFA Prowl and TFP Knockout + Breakdown!

Prowl

You can’t see it when you first meet, but he has heart-optics when he first sees you.

Prowl will often offer to go see the ducks in a park pond and feed them with you (even if it isn’t technically allowed to feed them).

Loves the way you dress, reminds him of bright flowers in a dark forest.

He’ll try to help you with straightening out your sleep schedule.

Appreciates that you will give him his personal space. He’s also very shy to touch, so instead of both of you being very embarrassed, you’ll sit close to him while meditating.

KO+BD

It’s alright that you feel adverse to touch, but that’s their primary love language and they feel bad for leaving you out if you don’t join in cuddling.

Breakdown also has a pretty dark taste in humor, so you’ll reflect on that and joke about things going on in the war.

They always fuel into your giddiness, never ever shutting you down unless it’s something very serious.

Knockout overthinks a lot of things, playing into more anxiety. If you spend some quality time with him though, the worries will slip away from him. You could be doing anything with him, so long as it’s in an upbeat mood and with you.

They give you so many compliments and when you respond with confusion or adversity they know something’s wrong.

Eagerly Awaited, Extremely Belated: Whump Intro! :)

Saw a bunch of Whump Intro posts cross my dash this week, so I figured maybe I should make one too! Goodness knows this blog’s been around for long enough without one, so might as well! :)

I’m 99.9% a lurker, and I’m not so good at being the first one to reach out- but I love talking to people who reach out to me, so feel free to message me anytime! :)

.

Name: Tairana, Willow, or Flat. I'll answer to all 3!

Age: nearly 30 already, oof!

Mostly, I like to make whumpy art, and playing around with OCs- so if you want to yell about your OC whumpees, I want to hear about them! :)

I do like to write about my OCs as well, but I rarely ever polish it lol. So if I can ever get around to cleaning them up a bit, you may get to see it! I also LOVE crossovers and having my OCs meet others, so let’s play together in the sandbox with our characters! :)

I like a LOT of different tropes, and will read a wide variety of stuff. That said…

💚

Tropes I Like Best!

Found family, Recovery Whump, Slow Recovery, Escape AND Failed Escape, Caretaker/Whumpee, Manipulation, Self-Sacrifice, Hurt/Comfort, Semi-Immortality, Hiding Injuries, Intimate/Creepy Whumper, Choking/Strangulation, Collars & Restraints, Non-human/Shifter Whump, Supernatural Whump, Captivity/Imprisonment, Cults, Mafia/Mobsters, Exhaustion/Collapse, Wing Whump, Dub/Noncon, and way more lol.

(I don't know if I'll ever POST Dub/Noncon, but I do enjoy reading it- so if you write it, that doesn't bother me! If I do post any, you can rest assured it will be meticulously tagged!)

💛

Only in Certain Moods:

Lady Whump (not opposed to it and I have a few Lady Whumpees, I just tend to write men more), Character Death, No Whumpers (natural disasters, accidents, etc), Lab Whump (experimental type rather than medical), Pregnancy Whump (fpreg or mpreg, though I like mpreg best because it seems more distressing to me lol) (IRL pregnancy is A Big Squick, but as a whump trope it's somehow fine lol)

💔

Squicks & Dislikes:

Fingore, Eye trauma, most forms of excessive/fatal Gore, Emeto/Vomit, Cannibalism, Amputations (some leeway for this one).

.

These aren’t exhaustive lists by any means, so if you’ve written something you want to share and the tropes you write DON’T show up here, that’s only because this would become one hell of a long post if I typed out EVERY trope I liked. :) So please, by all means, throw whatever you’ve got at me- I’d love to check it out!

.

Now this kind of defeats the purpose lol, but I won’t be tagging anyone this time…. Mostly because I’m SUCH a lurker I wouldn’t even know who TO tag, and I don't wanna bug the friends I've already made! So if you see this, nice to officially meet you, let’s talk whump! :)

First off I wanna preface this by saying I haven’t been in the CP2077 fandom for very long and I’ve been following you for even less time but I absolutely adore your ocs, and seeing them cross my dash makes me smile every time I also love reading the tidbits of lore around them..I truly love them and everything you do and I cannot wait to see more 🖤 -ps do you think you could maybe do a up close of gabby’s tattoos? I’m real curious about them

Welcome to the fandom and thanks so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜

And sure! I can do that, but keep in mind that I can't focus on modding more than like, an hour, so all their tattoos are rushed! Well, Gabby only has one technically, the other marks on their body are either supposed to be a birthmark or scars (I'll get around to make them into real scars eventually but... y'know...)

And hope you don't mind me rambling a little either! So here's a Keep Reading!

Oops, had to make Gabby bald for that one hehe 🤭

I'm gonna preface this by saying I can't draw, all these were taken from free vector sites. These are four different filigree images I put together, plus the sign of Venus (♀).

The thorns filigrees are a reference to Jesus' crown. Gabby got their tattoo after being fired from Militech for blowing their cover as a double agent and left for dead by Arasaka assassins. It's a symbol of their rebirth, but also a symbol they rejected their father's power (he's a descendant of the founder of Militech) to join the "mortals", the lower class.

The two other filigrees I used are inspired by rococco art, which is known to be a pastel and irregular artstyle with too many details. It suits Gabby's personnality.

The sign of Venus is both a nod at their gender (they partially identify as a woman) and their essence as a cambion (half-succubus). Lucifer is the former name of the planet Venus. Their stage name is Venere di Luce, Venus of Light.

Gabby has other markings on their body. Two scars and a birthmark.

Gabby's birthmark is a reference to the number of the Beast. I was inspired by The Omen. So, in some occult beliefs, the term "Antichrist" refers to all children born from a demon and a human, not just Satan. It's just another sign that Gabby isn't fully human.

Their scars are both branding marks made from hot iron and Holy Water. The one on their neck isn't as visible usually, I used Photoshop tools to make it clearer. It's the symbol for the Death's-Head Moth, a XBD "studio" who hired Gabby after they were fired from Militech since they cannot die, making them the "perfect doll" for them to play with.

It was applied to them shortly after they started hanging more and more with Maelstrom. Gabby had agreed for the scene, since they thought the mark would fade away pretty quickly. They didn't know the DHM's leader knew about their demonic nature. It's just there now. Forever. It'll always hurt a little bit.

The second branding scar is a symbol of Maelstrom. Gabby eventually broke their contract from the Death's-Head Moth to work with Maelstrom instead. They didn't want an initiation cause they like their face a little too much for that, so they chose a different approach to make themself an official associate of the gang.

They were publically branded by Royce, and yes, it was extremely painful. The scar looks right on some angles only. I'll make them into real scars eventually!

Also, I'm using your nice ask to say that I've changed Gabby's eyes to give them a more unnatural look! They're literally the goat now 🤭

Hello! I’m Jackal 💚 Welcome To My Blog 💚

I’m a digital (and less frequently traditional) artist from the USA, and I’ve been on this site for over 10 years now. I talk a lot in the tags, since I have a million thoughts all the time forever lol. I love fantasy and art and poetry and nature

If you message me and I don’t respond for a long time, please don’t take it personally! My mental health isn’t perfect and I’m frequently forgetful or overwhelmed, so there are times when I am super social and times when I am completely withdrawn and it becomes very difficult to communicate consistently as a result. Super sorry in advance for any trouble and thanks for your understanding 💚

Art blog: greenieart.tumblr.com

FULL INFO ABOUT MY TAGGING SYSTEM BELOW THE CUT

PERSONAL TAGS:

I frequently reblog posts about grief and death and bones and graves and such under the tag #death tag, and I also post about love and community under the tag #love tag. My queue is tagged #q.

TRIGGER TAGS:

I tag triggers in the #trigger format (ie #bugs #blood #suicide #animal death). I try to tag most common triggers, but apologize in advance if I miss a post here or there, and if you have a specific trigger you’d like me to tag or watch out for, feel free to message me or drop an anon in my askbox. I also occasionally reblog nudity and tag it #nudity but I do not tag things #NSFW as I don’t want to get my blog flagged.

OTHER:

Unrelated to tagging but still something I feel I should mention: generally, I try to avoid reblogging guilt-inducing posts, even if I agree with the message. I reblog donation posts occasionally, but since I’m sure everyone on Tumblr follows well over a hundred blogs at least, I don’t reblog every donation post that crosses my dash as I don’t want to flood my followers with more GFMs than they can keep up with.

Other than triggers and the specific personal tags mentioned above, I also occasionally will tag specific media for my own reference. It’s rare that I do this though, so it would not be effective to use my media tags to filter that content out if you don’t want to see it. If needed, feel free to send me a message to ask me to tag certain media, but I might not be able to consistently tag it, so if you are really uncomfortable with something I’m blogging about a lot, you might be better off unfollowing for your own comfort. I ultimately believe in the concept of cultivating your own online experience, so if I am not a comfortable part of that experience, no hard feelings! 💚

ALEXANDER:: HUMANITY

“People think I revel in this part. The cleaning. They imagine that there’s a dark delight in the methodical dismantling of my work—scrubbing away the vestiges of violence as if I’m purging not just the scene, but my very soul. They envision me taking pleasure in the way the bleach erases every last trace of my actions, a twisted celebration of destruction and renewal.

But let me strip away that fantasy for you. The truth is... it’s an agonising bore.

It’s like running your fingers over an endless, monotonous expanse, where the thrill of creation has long evaporated. I’ve already extracted the essence of my pleasure, the raw, visceral rush that comes with the final, desperate breaths. What’s left now is the cruel irony of routine. The blood—dark, thick, and insidious—has seeped into every crack, every crevice, turning the once-innocent floor into a canvas of muted, haunting stains. The once-crimson droplets dry to a sordid brown, a cruel reminder of what was. I scrub with a fervour that’s more mechanical than passionate, my hands moving with the precise, joyless rhythm of a clock ticking away the last moments of its own existence.

The scent... it’s another layer of torture. The metallic tang of iron, mingling with the sharp, acrid stench of cleaning agents. It’s an olfactory assault, lingering in the very pores of my skin, refusing to be washed away. I am bound to it, like a penance I can never escape. The more I clean, the more it seems to cling, as if mocking my futile efforts to erase the past.

And this—this endless chore—is where I find the true emptiness. No thrill. No excitement. Just the cold, relentless act of scrubbing away the evidence of what I’ve done. The real act—the primal, unfiltered intensity of the kill—is gone, leaving nothing but a sterile aftermath. It’s not the murder that consumes me. It’s the finality of this part, the inevitable descent into mundane, repetitive duty.

It’s not art. It’s not a ritual. It’s just a chore, a dark echo of a more thrilling past. And as I wash away the blood, I am reminded of the cruelest irony of all: that the true horror lies not in the act itself, but in the dispassionate emptiness that follows.”

And I hate it. I hate this mundane dance of destruction and denial. Because once I’m down here, methodically erasing every trace of what’s been done, I know that the thrill is gone. And I am left with only the cold, indifferent truth: the aftermath is the real nightmare.”

[ BIOGRAPHY ]

Rules of the Enchanted Realm:

No Follow-First Requests, Please: If you’re drawn to the magic in my stories, hit that follow button, and let’s see where our imaginations can take us! My dash is a sanctuary for kindred spirits, so let’s keep it enchanting and fun.

Selective Partnerships: My realm is rich with adventure, but with a full-time job and a desire for meaningful connections, I’m selective about who joins the journey. If we don’t immediately vibe, don’t be disheartened—I might need a bit of time to weave our paths together.

Age Matters: As a 30-year-old seasoned storyteller with 12 years of role-playing and writing experience, I ask that only those over 18 venture into this epic quest. Mature themes and adventures await!

Dark Plots Welcome: Embrace the shadows and dive into plots where darkness, violence, and bloodshed are part of the thrill! If you need specific tags or have a particular dark twist in mind, just send a magical word my way.

Respect Boundaries: While dark and thrilling tales are welcome, there are lines I won’t cross—no pedophilia, incest, or similar themes. Such elements might be mentioned in backstories but will never be part of our main narratives.

Etiquette is Key: A proper adventurer respects the realm. No godmodding, and hate will be banished with a flick of the wand. Let’s keep our encounters respectful and our stories magical.

Reach Out: Got a plot idea or just want to chat? I’m always eager for new adventures and epic sagas. Don’t be shy—send a raven, and let’s embark on a journey together!

Character & Muse: Remember, my characters’ actions and words are part of the story—they don’t reflect my personal views. If I use a character’s name in conversation, it’s all in good storytelling fun.

Exploring Relationships: Whether you’re interested in established bonds or new ships, if the muse strikes, I’m all in. Unleash your creativity, and let’s navigate uncharted waters together!

Sanity and Serenity: For my peace of mind, I might hard block pages that no longer align with my journey. Mental health is a top priority, even if it means making tough decisions.

So, step forth, brave soul! Dive into a world where imagination reigns supreme, and let the adventure begin!
