Palida's Day
The sky is blue, blue like the moon. It is salty too and she's unsure if the wind is soft or harsh. Her hands squeeze hard on fur as the surroundings shifted at an incredible speed. A laugh bubbles its way out of her non-existent throat and orange fireflies start to dance around. Her giggles are loud and clear and nature bursts into life with each vibration, growing with bright blasts of colors that end up covering the sky. Her loyal rabbit stops and she flies out of the saddle. A cloud catches her. A dizzying light envelops her, flashing rapidly from a dull red to vivid blue-green, each flicker sending subtle jolts along her spine.
Palida awoke with a bustling energy coursing through her every limbs. It was exhilarating.
She jumped down her bed like a spring and took a moment to twirl and jump with happy little shouts. It always helped to get some of the extra energy from the sleep out right after waking to avoid getting into situations like running into a wall trying to do anything. She giggled and flapped her hands, kicked her feet and just had fun being as loud as she could do without making someone scramble to her room in confused panic. Once her morning routine successfully finished, she could already feel her internal fire chill down a bit. Just what was needed to not get into troubles but not enough to feel sleepy too early in the day. She should be able to go all the way through to her afternoon nap without faltering this time! And her parents will tell her how proud they are of her and maybe she'll have two desserts instead of one! With that very thought sitting right in front of her mind, the young girl runned down the hallway. Direction the kitchen. She sangsung while trailing her hand along the wall, jumping above imaginary lines and dodging invisible dangers.
"Kitchen, kitchen, let's go to the kit-kit-kit-kitchen!"
The monster pushed the door open and stormed into the room, eager to start the day. She hopped on a chair and finally looked around to see who was up.
On the chair right across the table was sitting an owl, busy meticulously peeling off the skin of some tomatoes before eating them. That was the last visitor, Charley. Or was it Jone? Asturd? She just couldn't remember it right now and she couldn't care less. They were a very boring guy... They didn't even glance at Palida as she made her chair wobble in thoughts. Nobody else was in the kitchen yet. With a determined stare at the big clock over the oven, she determined it might be a bit too early for her dads.
Meaning!
She could eat whatever she wanted for breakfast!
Not wasting a minute, Palida jumped down on the floor tiles.
The action made the room swim for an instant before she readjusted herself. Aw, the sleeping rush was already ending... No more running around until she got something tasty in her belly she guessed.
Well, she just had to rummage through the closets for a second and she would bounce back for at least another half hour!The chair's feet made some unholy screech as she dragged it to the cupboard, making the visitor groan. There! Palida cautiously climbed back on it and stood on her tippy toes to reach her potential breakfast. Surprisingly, she did not fall during the adventure and the girl felt very smug about it. She really was getting better at this! Once the monster got her hands on her favorite cereals, some really sugary things shaped like carrots, she scurried right back to the table and wasted no time plunging her hand into the box with all the attention to scarf down the food the fastest possible.
"Pali, what did we say about eating right out of the box?"
The girl gulped down what was in her mouth before turning towards the new adult in the room, who was currently leaning on the door frame. Wearing a louse black shirt and a lopsided crown.
"To... not do it?"
Palida answered her papa hesitantly, scrunching her memory trying to remember the exact phrasing of the advice she heard almost every morning.
Dream sighed and yawned once before approaching the cereal mess on the table. He softly brushed his hand against his daughter's cheek, making her look at him.
"Yes and to clean after if you inevitably end up doing it again."
"I was going to!", the girl lied easily, not even trying to look shameful about the endeavor.
"Sure, you were."
Dream crossed his arms, his only functioning eye light staring at his child, a slight grin making the expression softer. Palida watched her papa slowly retreat in the corridor and swiftly come back with a hand hidden behind his back, her head tilting in confusion. What was he holding onto now?
"Now guess who got out all clean and fresh from the laundry washer?"
Red and beige fabric, floppy ears above a limp cloth like body.
"Bunby!"
"Oh, is that its name today?"
Palida ignored the question and jumped on her beloved rabbit plush she reluctantly let go of yesterday after a jam accident. She squeezed it in her arms, letting the smell of clean fabric rubbed against her nasal bone. She stayed that way as her papa swiftly picked her up and busied himself cleaning her food mess, content to just cuddle up there silently.
After the table (and floor) was clean again and some conversation went over her head between her papa and the guest, she stretched up to pat her hand against the adult cheek.
"Yes my light?", he answered after some frustrating long seconds, glancing at her.
"Is Popy still on bed?"
"In bed, lil' star. And yes, I do believe so. Should we...?"
The girl giggled and nodded vigorously. They should!
They made their way quietly towards the biggest bedroom of the house, barely glancing back when a soft sound and a squick told them their current guest had finally left this plane.
The door creaked despite their best attempt at staying discreet.
Warm room. King sized bed. A shape hiding under a fuzzy blanket, curled around a pillow.
Palida stared at her papa. He stared back for a minute before grinning.
And just like that, she was launched like a canon-ball on her still asleep father. Action that allowed a loud screech of surprise out of the victim and a loud fit of laugh out of the victorious warrior.
Cross, now fully awake, looked at the bundle of energy sitting on his chest with a quirked brow.
"Pal, pumpkin, are you obligated to wake me up like that, everyday?"
She knew that despite his words, her popy was not mad. Mostly because he was half grinning (and that was not a mad grin! She was really good at noticing those!) and his hand was softly brushing the top of her skull. So she just giggled and went for what would be the funniest.
She pointed at her other parent, leaning on the far wall and took her most innocent voice.
"Papa idea!"
"Oh so that's what it is? Dream was the real culprit this whole time?"
The "culprit" barely had a second to widen his eyes and even less to attempt a desperate dash towards the exit before a cushion violently hit his chest and made him awkwardly stumble backward.
Palida shrieked in delight watching the pillow fight start between the two. Laughters filled the room as various soft weapons flew in the air. She bounced on a corner of the king sized bed, clapping her small hands.
That was so fun!
The world exploded into tiny little shards of light and darkness. Pain erupted from her face and soon her back collided with the floor. She had tumbled down the bed after an accidental pillow hit her square. For a second the air felt still, no one in the room dared moving.
Then a wail resounded, loud and clear, escaping from the girl's mouth as her whole body shook. It was all it took to make the adults scramble to her side, whispering sweet comfort and apologies and promising treats.
Her nasal bone hurted and her back was on fire! What were they talking about stuff being "fine"? She was literally dying! She tried to muse her thoughts aloud but she could only get out pitiful and retched sobs making her body feel all fuzzy and twitchy.
Strong arms picked her up, rocking her gently and hummed words made their way through her mind. A song she knew well wormed its way through the pain.
"Hey there firefly, what's going in your mind? Hey there firefly, why is your light snuffed out?
The night is dark and my fingers are frozen...
Will you warm me up, dear firefly?
Will you light my path, dear firefly?
Will you hug my heart, dear firefly?
Hey there firefly, what's going in your mind? Hey there firefly, why is your light snuffed out?
If you're tired, I'll bring you to bed, dear firefly!
If you're sick, I'll take care of you, dear firefly!
If you're sad, I'll hold you close, dear firefly!
So please stick around firefly...
Lay your head in my arms...
And... take a nap with me..."
Words started blurring at the end, exhaustion spreading through the small monster limbs and soon everything gently turned to black.
"She fell asleep."
Cross examined his daughter's face, lingering on a small scratch on her nasal bone. His partner leaned against him, sighing. He delicately put their child in his husband's arms to let him fuss for a minute. Once they were sure no real damage was done, they decided to tuck her into their bed to let her nap in peace. The red light pulsating under her bones indicated she was in "low battery" mode. Cross grinned as he knew how much Dream loathed when he used that to describe her state.
A cat, a cat is lapping from the water in her hands. It pours out of her hands. Onto her lap. Onto the floor. It makes a pool. Shimmering like jewels. It is dark. Black. Dark. Wet. She doesn't like it. Her movements are snailish. Light. Sudden. Disappear. Appears. Dissed a pear. Black again. Again. Again. Again.
Palida woke up for the second time of the day. But this time she wasn't as energized as she should after a good sleep. The child groaned and turned around, wiggling like a crazy little worm. She finally peeled open her eyes, only to marvel that she was laying in her parents' bed! The big bouncy bed! She didn't jump on it however, simply tapping her hand on it appreciating the texture of the mattress.
Glancing around, she narrowed her eyes at a pillow lying on the ground. Meanie.
Palida rolled until she sat on the side of the bed, tugging a light sheet on her shoulders as she carefully set her foot on the ground.
Now.
What to do?
Where was everybody, she mused.
Humming and huffing, she strolled towards the corridor in quest of some living beings that left her all alone. Then she noticed a smell. A food smell! And run right to the kitchen. Before stopping and running right back into the bedroom, grabbing her plush then she trotted back through the corridor.
The sheet fell at one point and would lay on the ground for a while.
"POPY! PAPA! WHAT'S COOKING?"
She burst into the room, her arms already up to be grabbed.
And grabbed she was, picked up and put in her chair in front of a plate of food.
"Hey there, sleeping beauty, are you feeling better? We're sorry for the flying cushion."
Cross was promptly ignored as the child marveled at what was seating on her plate. A steak shaped like a kitten and yellow beans.
"KITTY MEAT!"
Maybe the others continued to talk but she couldn't care less with how busy she quickly became trying to cut her steak. One ear. Then the other. The head. The paws. The tail was the funniest part! Worm. And whatever the rest was. She attempted to eat the beans, one by one, but they kept fleeing so she just grabbed them with her bare hands when she thought nobody was watching.
Palida was smart like that.
She jumped out of her seat before getting any dessert. Something was ringing and she had to figure out what was ringing exactly.
Nobody shouted after her to come back so she figured it must be fine.
Now the ringing.
Back to the corridor.
She already heard that ringing before.
Palida checked the bathroom.
No ringy here.
She checked the big mystery closet (because it was so big inside) of the living room.
Not there.
What did that ringing mean anyway?
It was not the oven ring.
It was not the fridge nor the washing machine.
What was it again?
Palida turned to her plush and stared into his fabricated eyes, to see if the answer was hidden there.
It was not.
She readjusted its hat and continued hunting for the treasure noise.
It was important.
It meant something important.
The child ended up in her room, glancing around, smiling at her various toys laying around.
It must have been here, she looked everywhere else.
At the end, her eyes stopped on the high shelf who held stuff she didn't have the right to play all the time with but were still very much hers.
She could see a bit of red from a device from her position (standing up on her bed).
...
THE FRIEND PHONE!
Knowing there was no way to get to it without help (believe her, she tried before), the small skeleton rushed back to the kitchen where her parents were cleaning the dishes and doing other boring adult things.
She all but bolted, launching herself to her papa's back, giggling and screeching.
They asked her what was up and she gleefully explained with all the strength she could muster at the moment.
"THEPHONEFRIENDISRINGINGPLEASEHELPMEICANTREACHIWANTTOIWANTTOWHATIFTHEYHANGUPQUICKQUICK-"
Seeing her magnificent try to explain fast was only provoking (very funny) faces of confusion on the two, she changed her plan and grabbed their hands to drag them where they needed to be. Right now.
Once that task achieved (all by herself, they did not follow, she had to drag them!), Palida pointed to the shelf and exclaimed with all the will of a master ordering its pet around:
"Bring me the phone."
They stared at her for a minute then at each other as if debating about something (nothing more important than bringing down the phone, she was sure of it).
Finally, her papa chuckled softly and reached for her treasure.
It was still ringing.
She answered the instant the object reached her eager hands.
"HELLO HELLO DO YOU HEAR ME?"
A chorus of voices answered, all mixing so horribly it was impossible to understand a thing.
The girl did not let go of the red engine however.
One last shout rang before a voice louder than the overs quieted the rest.
"Come on, kids, we talked about it... One at a time."
"LINTY!"
Palida had no struggle recognizing her older friend's voice and yelled her name excitedly.
"Hey, lil' star, it's been a while. I hope you're doing well! And your parents too."
Her parents exchanged a few greetings with their former guest and now the long distance friend of her daughter before said girl could continue the conversation.
"I'm dooing good! Popy sent me a cushion straight in the face and I didn't even cry!"
Her dad looked amused at the lie but didn't comment.
"Oh that's my warrior! I'm sure-"
A mix of voices stopped her a second.
"Palida, girl, you can tell me all your adventures later but the kids and I, we have something we need to tell you before. Can you turn on the video feed for me? It's the bottom button, the yellow one."
Her papa reached over her shoulder to point at the button and the child pushed it. A fuzzy image slowly appeared on the device and, squinting, Palida could make out the figures of maybe all of the children of Lint's orphanage, the adult holding the friend phone high.
The video shook a bit but got clear fast.
She didn't know all the kids' faces but she recognized some in the front row.
Abigail and Giren. Ebony. Lili in the chair on the right side. The selkie monster she liked but always forgot the name. Tuna maybe? Solky the fire chicken that claimed he was a phoenix. Even Dalty grumpy is there, frowning slightly less than usual.
Most of them seemed very excited about something.
Were they wearing party hats?
"Are you ready kids? At the count of three like we practiced!"
What?
"1"
Palida looked, confused, as the youngest wiggled around impatiently.
"2, Tody, I see you, get that flamethrower away."
What was happening?
"3!"
And at that moment, many sparkles appeared around the group. Magic was thrown, strings of water, fire and various magic bullets made the image crinkled and blurred.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PALIDA!"
The whole thing is joyful, chaotic and she swore the boy Lint called "Tody" did not put that flamethrower away.
But Palida stayed stuck as the shouted words wormed their way into her mind.
The girl turned around to face her parents and spluttered the beginning of the question, searching for the answer in their eyes.
"Is it really...?"
And they both smiled at her.
"Yes, it is your birthday, firefly."
That day promised to be great!

Do I look like him?
had a lot of people ask me to make a tiktok for it and i swear i tried but,,, making tiktoks just isn't working for me rn so we're getting still images until i can get my brain to cooperate. anyways!! i am obsessed with chromokopia and when i heard Like Him i ascended into heaven and also cried. and it very much reminded me of LoF
#friendly reminder that peter doesn't know what richard looks like#1) because his parents died before they learned peter also needed glasses#and 2) because he would cry when he saw pictures of them as a kid and they never got around to putting them back up#also another thing: peter's universe is 7 years ahead of theirs#richard parker died when he was 36 (they had peter fairly late)#dick is currently 29#and since richard had peter when he was 34 dick isn't far off from the age he was when richard had peter in the first place#so peter is essentially seeing his dad at almost the age when peter last saw him#but this time he can see him clearly#erinwantstowrite#ao3#ao3 fanfic#peter parker#leap of faith ao3#leap of faith catch me if you can#leap of faith#dick grayson#richard parker#this was essentially “yeah to everyone else peter looks like dick”#but to peter it's “do i look like you? the other you too?”#and to dick it's “do i look like my counterpart? what was his life like?”#peter has his mother's tooth gap#a tiny piece of her in this drawing#chromokopia#peter parker in gotham#like him#tylerthecreator

Started a new book series, and has been a journey...an Odyssey, if you will.
#poorly drawn odyssey#the odyssey#Athena#telemachus#penelope#odysseus#calypso#I also drew Phemius the bard and Antinous the leader of the suitors but I'll hold onto those for a while longer.#The Odyssey has been on my reading list for ages and I finally decided to just dive into the Robert Fagles translation.#*nobody* ever talks about how damn funny the Odyssey is. Oh my god. I have been howling.#The poor bard doomed to keep playing for this unending feast. The most unwilling court jester.#Penelope being introduced by her crying about how much she 'hates this song'.#And Telemachus is the goodest lad. The OG protag to set about on his heroes journey.#He is kind! He is soft! He yearns for adventure and finding out the truth! He wants to get back at his bullies!#He even gets a companion named Mentor. THE original mentor! Who is *totally* not a god by the way. Just a guy.#Not to mention how much Odysseus gets hyped up only for his first appearance to be him sobbing non-stop.#Honestly I was mostly motivated by the need to do research for a personal project but I've been having the best time.#I sincerely doubt my current audience has any overlap with classic Greek literature but expect a few more PD-Odyssey posts.#(Yes - I am familiar with Epic the Musical; this is not fanart of that adaptation).

I want to know more about Valley! Both her name and design are absolutely STUNNING!
Valleyfrost | 13 | Cold She/Her | ???
Valley has incredible strength, this being a Gift she was born with.
She not only has the strength equal to a Rottweiler but the body mass too. Meaning she's not only gonna pummel whoever she fights, she isn't exactly easy to push around by a single cat.
She's also an unusually fast runner, so very much a fast and hard hitter.
She's a second born of Soot’s kits and often feels like the most overlooked. With Moth being the very clear favourite and Crane being the very opposite, which is a form of attention on its own.
Valley's very close to her siblings, with a tentative relationship to her Apa, but a distant (though still positive) relationships to Silk and Dew.
She looks the most like her mother, inheriting very little from the Chasing bloodline.
She's loud and abrasive around her family, but she clamps up pretty consistently when interacting with strangers, simply fixing them a nasty stare when possible.
Valley is very observant and has been piecing together clues to the larger picture faster than the others have. Doesn't mean she knows anything yet.
Even with the rules in place, Valley very often sneaks away to be alone, sometimes actively looking for Takers. She's convinced she can take them in a fight.
#chasingask#chasinglore#valleycff#we are back with some of these#was hit is the inspiration for valley so#if youre wondering shes at the lake thats at the edges of the chasing territory#GUYS SHE HAS SO MANY SAD THOUGHTS IN GAME#as a reminder:#the ages on these are always their current time in game#this might not line up with their comic ages#she also has her full name cuz it's kinda established what the triplets names are

If nothing else, I want you to take this away from yesterday's presidential debate:
This is a literal, actual, verbatim quote.
#he also said it doesnt matter if he would codify abortion rights because congress is currently split 50/50 so itd never pass#which is your fun reminder that CONGRESS IS ALSO ELECTED ON NOVEMBER 5TH#so go out and vote blue all the way through just to spite him#and also to protect the literal lives of millions of women/people in need of any sort of reproductive care#presidential debate#shitpost#but also politics#vote blue for transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison#trans#transgender#he genuinely said that#i would presume hes referencing when she as AG refused to let an incarcerated trans woman get surgery#but i dont think hes smart enough to do that so this is just incoherent rambling#also harris did reportedly reverse her stance on that#go vote#us politics#us elections#vote blue#kamala harris

“This 98-year-old woman has had a total of 622 ‘descendants’…because at age 16 she married a 50-year-old widower with 10 children, SOME OF WHOM WERE OLDER THAN HER AND HAD THEIR OWN KIDS ALREADY, and then had 13 more children by him, but news outlets report on it like a cute human interest story”
sounds like an SNL skit where the “straight man” character gets increasingly disturbed while everyone else acts happy and charmed
And. Fucking. Yet.
#current events#child abuse#I don’t know if it was CSA because I can’t find when her first bio child was born but uh#seems likely#her descendants seem to think it’s fine and was normal back then#which. no the fuck it was not#average age at first marriage for women was 20 in 1940! to men like 2 years older!#huge families made newsreels!#teen marriage HAPPENED more but it wasn’t the NORM#also that was usually to OTHER TEENS#nobody wants to talk about how she ended up marrying this old creep in the first place
