Deus Est Machina

[lucascsinclairs]

Words: 11,195 Summary: “El’s face was grave serious as she spoke, explaining what she’d seen in the hive mind. And though Lucas knew she was speaking, the words seemed muffled, the loud heartbeat in his ears drowning them out as he tried to pull himself together. It had all been a confused chaos ever since he’d rushed off from the kitchen to wake everybody up to come hear what had happened, everyone crowding into the living room as El tried her best to explain everything. The room around him was loud, filled with tense questions and rushed starts of sentences being cut off by even more questions, as everyone tried to make sense of what had just been learned. Lucas was doing the same, trying to wrap his mind around it, trying to understand what it all meant.” [A Lumax Zombie Apocalypse AU]

For weeks, my neighborhood has been plastered with Free Palestine & Ceasefire Now graffiti and posters, and they've remained untouched, more and more appearing every day. Proud of the neighborhood. If you are able to, do the same. Spread the word, organize. Here is a great thread of resources & information for the efforts to support the crisis in Gaza And here is a site for direct action towards state & government officials to demand ceasefire. It's very handy and easy to use!

Owl House/Boiling Isles biology headcanons from a fic idea I never wrote:

Witches have a wider range of color vision than humans. A lot of magic puts off infrared light (meaning Luz is missing out on like, half of what spells actually look like).

Humans, however, have a better sense of smell. Witches are better at digesting potentially hazardous materials, but humans have to worry about poisons. Humans are also highly specialized to smell petrichor (via Wikipedia, "able to detect it at concentrations as low as 0.4 parts per billion"), and witches can't smell it at all. (Luz is like, "I miss the rain smells in the human realm so much. On the Boiling Isles the rain just smells like burning :/" and all her friends are like, "what. are you talking about."

Witches don't have an appendix, but they do, coincidentally, also have a random organ that doesn't have much of a purpose and sometimes ruptures and kills you. It's located slightly above the right lung.

Kinda obvious but, ears. Witch ears have a greater curve than human ears and taper into a point. They have some limited mobility, allowing the witch to pinpoint sounds, and they play a part in emotional expression. For a witch, it's not really that strange that human ears are round, it's more that they don't move at all. They're completely stiff, and it makes humans difficult to read. (Luz is lucky she's otherwise very expressive, or else she would come off as nearly emotionless. As it is, sometimes people think she's not being genuine, because her ears don't match the rest of her expression, like when someone smiles without their eyes.)

Humans have slightly denser bones than witches. As a result, humans weigh a bit more on average and put on muscle easier.

Witches can't digest lactose

A high tolerance for most human poisons means that alcohol isn't a popular drug for witches. It technically affects them in a similar way, but their tolerance is such that it's not an effective way to get high. Most of the drugs used recreationally on the Boiling Isles would kill a human instantly.

Witches have a different pulse beat from humans, since their hearts are designed differently to accommodate the bile sac (and grimwalkers' pulses are even more unique, since they have a galdorstone. Rather than the thump of blood valves, Grimwalkers have a sort of magic hum that pulses their circulatory system.)

Cup, the assassin toad. This damn toad jumped out of the shadows of my feed and now it won't go away.

I don't know who he is – yet – but I'd kill a million templars for him, damn that son of a bitch is adorable grrr

I mean...

How can you not...

Bullfrog is an adorable badass who gets the job done. Truly, the VIP of the team.

(Bullfrog is the French Assassin from Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, an animated series that's pretty much a loose major crossover with all Ubisoft properties and it's available on Netflix)

I wonder if the reason why I tend to get overlooked as an LU writer is because I tend to write for Wild and Hyrule and not the "cool" Links like Legend, Warriors, Time or Four.

I feel like the ranfren fandom reduced the source material to a temporary commodity rather than a fully fledged thing

not appreciating it for the surrealist artwork it actually is like with other works such as yume nikki

That's it.

question for my beloved italian followers: what are some places in florence and rome you'd recommend to someone visiting for, say, a week?

[definitelynotshouting]

Is lag a thing in the worldbuilfing for hunger au? Ive seen some fics describe it as areas of the world/anomalies where time seems to slow down, and i was curious if u have any thoughts? :o

I think lag in this case would be considered more of a server glitch than anything else-- so not something thats super common, and not necessarily caused by the kind of things it would be in the game irl!! I'd go as far to say that modded worlds are probably more prone to it, especially if they feature heavy code changes

Additionally i think lag in hunger au is like, less that time seems to slow down and more that the gravity in specific areas is suddenly a LOT stronger, and weighs you down a ton so everything feels like moving through molasses. I'd imagine its an absolute pain in the ass to fix, although not very harmful, just hellishly annoying 😂😂😂😂

[altruistic-meme]

if you could... describe aftg in 5 words

oh this is not as easy a question to answer as it should be akfhsdkf bc like. i could describe its plot, or my thoughts on it as a fan, or how it makes me feel, or just make a joke, or or or and bc idk why you're asking it makes it harder :'))

but let's see...

plot: gay sports mafia found family.

fan: drama, familiarity, trauma, comedy, home

feelings: love, understanding, chaos, joy, comfort

joke: you know, i get it-

(as you can see, i couldn't pick which one to go with, so choose whichever 5 words you want lmao)
