#going through my inbox tonight!

[gracie-rosee]

Hi guys. Personal update. My parents live a little over an hour away from me. A couple weeks ago I was up at their house when they were evacuated because of a wildfire. I went with them, and stayed for a bit afterwards when they were able to go back home.

A couple days ago I come home to… guess what? Another wildfire. A lot bigger and closer to where me and my sister live. Which is just great. Yay.

When it’s so smoky it’s a health concern, and temperatures are over 100°F every single day, people don’t like to leave their house. Meaning I’m not able to work because they cut business hours due to little to no customers (It’s a small, local business.) Fun!! 🙁

On an art related note, since returning home a couple days ago, I have access to my iPad to continue making art again.

So, um.. I’m thinking I’ll have to open commissions again just to get by while I temporarily don’t have the second job I rely on.

question for the squad: juiciest piece of gossip and/or darkest secret you know about each other?

ooh, I like this one. lemme think...

// Say what now? "Darkest secrets"? Oh RA, don't ask Slipshod that-

oh, perfect timing! you all know how Phoenix says she's off on PR business, yeah? whenever she says that, there's a flat 50/50 chance that she's either actually doing PR work or she's going to take a smoke break. very convenient excuse, that one

// Wha- hey! That was supposed to stay between us!

too late! >:P I've got one for Kennedi too, while I'm at it - she still has one of her old HA uniforms tucked away in the back of her closet. has all of her old colonial legionnaire badges and medals and shit on it. not sure why she ever kept it, since she's staunchly anti-HA nowadays, but it's there, and it's not nearly as well hidden as she thi-

> Ahem. What did I just walk in on, exactly?

ah. shit. hi K. let's pretend you didn't hear the last ten seconds of that conversation, yeah?

// We got a prompt asking us for the darkest secrets we know about each other. Slipshod was just sharing one of yours.

> Is that what's going on now. That would explain the mention of my HA uniform - which, by the way, is my property. If I find so much as a crease on the lapel because of your snooping, I'm locking you out of the mech hangar for a month. Understood?

...yes, ma'am. (er, I think you're up next, P)

// Oh, lovely. I'll start with Kennedi, since this one's practically an open secret around here - she's utterly hopeless with melee weapons. Couldn't swing an axe to save her life. If she doesn't have a gun of some sort, then she's fucked in combat outside of a mech.

can confirm. saw her try to parry while sparring with one of the trainers once; she wound up pinned against the wall. kinda pathetic to watch, really

> Hmph. Unfortunate, but true. I was hoping my prosthetic might offer some chance of improvement in that regard, but it appears that I was sorely mistaken. I am no better at melee combat now than I was with both arms fully intact.

// As for Slipshod... oh, here's one. I recently found their shower supplies lying around in the shower (instead of in their assigned cubby, where it should be), and discovered that they use a men's 3-in-1 product, instead of separate shampoo and conditioner like a sane human being. No wonder your hair is such a frizzy disaster.

aw, come on, P, you didn't have to do me dirty like that! yours wasn't even that bad!

// That's not even the worst part! It smells awful, too! If using a shitty men's 3-in-1 is more gender-affirming for you, fine, I get it, but Christ-the-Buddha almighty, why does it have to smell so bad?!

hey, I think it smells fine. all of the women's hair products available around here smell like rancid perfume. find me a women's shampoo and conditioner set that smells like cedar or bourbon or pine or some shit like that and I'll happily switch

> Why anyone would want to smell like bourbon of all things is beyond me. (Then again, I suppose anything beats the smell of motor oil and reactor coolant.)

RUDE! I happen to like the smell of motor oil, thank you very much >:(

> Trust me, I'm well aware. I suppose it's my turn, then?

// Give us your worst, I guess. Slipshod already outed my smoke break habits. Prick.

> Hm. Let's see... I suppose the darkest secret I know of Phoenix's is that she dropped out of IPS-N cadet school for the express purpose of joining MSMC. I don't believe she's publicly mentioned it on here, at any rate.

// Hey now; I didn't drop out, I never finished my application process in the first place. There's a big difference!

you were gonna sign on with IPS-N? really?

// Look, I was young and stupid back then, and the propaganda adbroads they constantly blared all over Pyxis were... compelling. I don't regret that decision, though. MSMC is leagues better than anything IPS-N could ever hope to offer me.

> A wise decision. If only I had your caliber of foresight when choosing my future as a young pilot.

yeah, yeah, don't you two get all sentimental on me now. K's still gotta roast me. bring it on - surely you don't have anything better than P

> Oh, really. How's this, then: since my arrival on MSMC-796 twelve years ago, Slipshod has had no less than fifteen different romantic partners of various genders, none of which have lasted in a relationship with them for longer than six months.

// FIFTEEN?!?! Is that why you had "welcome home cheater" graffiti'd on your Toku a while back?! You told me that was because you robbed someone of a kill!

wha- i- you bitch! why the fuck would you keep track of that?! what are you, a stalker or some shit???

> No; I'm your squadron commander. And it's my job to know what my squadmates are getting up to when I hear obnoxiously loud moaning noises coming from their bunk at 3 in the morning.

// Holy shit, Slipshod. I don't even know what to say to this. Fifteen partners in twelve years... Christ-the-Buddha almighty. That takes the fuckin' cake. Congrats, Kennedi.

> Thank you, Phoenix. Now, are we done here?

// Yes. Please.

HEY! get back here! explain yourself, you conniving bitch!!! KENNEDI!!!!!

hi! so limochi idea

so you know how at concerts, sometimes people will sit on their tall friend's shoulders to see better? what if that but lime and mochi? would lime die. is his brain screaming incoherently or is it just tv static? who's to say?

anyway have a lovely day!

god limes head being sandwhiched between her thighs like that...i dont trust his knees not to give out...

[ghost-proofbaby]

hi. i am back. and offer you all to imagine with me the way this instagram reel is 100% eddie and reader in twenty four hours.

thoughts on lithuania?

He's nice! I don't have too many thought around him, but I do enjoy him as a character and I think he has a lot of layers to him that makes him very interesting. For me it's mostly the historical aspects that draws me to characters and I simply do not know enough Lithuanian history. But he seems really sweet 🥰

[paparoach]

ok i have finished this chapter of my story so now i will take a nice break finally.

[inkwingsinc]

i hope this isn’t super weird to share but i’m going through a grief situation in my family right now and for some reason your art really is getting me through. i’m not sure why! i loved it before this happened but reading it again is comforting somehow and the way that your characters are embraced in their flaws and feel their pain fully for some reason calls to me at the moment. can’t wait to see what happens between them ♥️ they’re messy but it’s so cathartic and exactly what i need right now

also a song that makes me think of your fic whether it’s appropriate or not is ‘we’ll never have sex’ by leith ross xox

happy friday

No darling, this isn't weird. Thank you for reaching out.

I'm going through something myself and this little pocket of "weird" that I'm writing is kind of helping me push through. I read fiction for the same purpose - some feelings are safer when they're explored within a story. Please never apologize for what you find comfort in, because at the end of the day, no one has to walk in your shoes/live in your skin/see the world through your eyes/experience what you've weathered. We're all on this planet trying to Fucking Make It, man, and I tell you what: find joy where you can. If it doesn't hurt anyone, it's game. If it's my fanfic then dude hold the reigns and let out a scream when it bucks. That's all I've got to say on that.

Also: thank you for the song rec!!!! About to listen now, very excited <3 Song recs are literally a good 90% of my playlist additions and I'm spoiled rotten with them omg <3333

I hope you're well. Please know I'm thinking such kind thoughts in your direction, and happy Friday lovely <3333333

Ship tags, anyone?  Feel free to give this post a like ( or leave a comment ) and I’ll make one for our characters. ♡

*sigh* I’m trying to remind myself to be happy for others instead of comparing myself to them.

Windtrace is an important representation of Mondstadt’s history. She’ll be going on a long lecture about it’s true significance…

"anonymous" (lune when i get you) asked: 👀 + if you could only save one victim of your dad’s, who would it be? // Send me a “👀 + a question” and my muse has to answer honestly!

WHATEVER MIGHT BE LEFT of his heart seems to stop in his chest the moment he's asked— memories stretch, thin, and blur together, strung by the GUILT that has crawled underneath his skin for as long as he can remember ( ever since the first victim of a long string of tragedies was not his father's, but Michael's ). Evan shouldn't be a part of this question, but Michael is well aware that was the moment everything began to fall apart, the catalyst that sent his father down a years long spiral where, in an effort to put it all back together, he took until there was nothing left to take. Michael's only direct action may have been Evan, yet sometimes... the blood on his father's hands feels like the blood on his that he can't scrub away no matter how many funeral home bathrooms he washes them in.

Michael sighs— as much as he hates to admit it, the answer comes to him instantly, without even a second thought. ... The second thought does come in the form of remembering those poor kids who never asked for any of this, who weren't even INVOLVED, who were in the wrong place in the wrong time and gave their trust to someone who was supposed to protect them. But then again, didn't the two that come to mind first do the same?

"I don't know what you expect me to say here... depends on what you mean by victim, I guess. Because... Elizabeth. I'd save her, I have to." She's my sister. God, he feels like an asshole— even faced with his father's intentional murders, he is selfish. "That... was an accident, though. I mean— he fucking built 'em, but not... not to do that to her. So if that doesn't count, then... I'd save Charlie. There, I'm selfish, that what you wanted? It's not like asking shit like this is undoing anything that happened."
