[sinfulforrest]

I've done it, the dissertation has been submitted now, 7300 words done in like two or three days...I am scared I'm not gonna pass it but I'm so proud of myself for getting through a whole final uni year's worth of work in just over a month, despite not being mentally well enough to have been there at my seminars for most of the year. God I hope I pass, I want this degree under my belt so badly and I don't wanna have fucked up at the final hurdle :')

Deimos is the only one in DU who hasn't been touched by Yighraru

maybe only three of the others are 100% under its command, but i don't think the rest would be able to resist for very long if Yighraru tried to command them directly. or Petruccio and Gonzalo command them with their rings, which isn't quite as strong but it's still less layers of reality for its words to go through.

So...if Deimos manages to remain untouched, he's probably going to have to finish this alone.

To keep his (remaining) sanity, he's going to have to be very careful and deliberate, and that likely means Gonzalo and Petruccio will be able to attempt to summon Yighraru. And they'll do whatever they have to do to make sure the ritual isn't interrupted, and they can bring their master into their reality.

Deimos could theoretically stop them sooner, but any attempt to directly intervene risks him acquiring The Touch(TM). And I'm sure he's acutely aware of that.

Antonio, along with Bella, Lodo, and Bea, are compelled to guard Gonzalo and Petruccio. Sforza he probably won't have to worry about; he's part of the ritual whether he likes it or not. Francisco and Sortino can't really fight like the rest of the team, but by god are they going to try. And they're still probably the least of Deimo' worries.

Phobos' case is the lightest and he still has some wits about him, but he won't let Deimos stop them, either.

Deimos doesn't have many issues with hurting his 'allies' (even if he did really like Antonio). They were a means to an end. But Phobos?

Deimos is doing all of this for him. Phobos is pretty much the only one Deimos really, truly cares for. He's all he has.

And now Phobos is trying to stop him.

Phobos will absolutely try to convince him to stop with words first. Why can't you join us, Deimos? We can still stay together. Please. It'd be so much easier than this madness. And when that doesn't work...? Well...Phobos doesn't like it any more than Deimos does, but he doesn't have a choice. He doesn't even realize he doesn't have a choice.

Whether or not Deimos can get past Phobos will probably be the deciding factor. Gonzalo and Petruccio will be too distracted by their ritual (and too confident that the others can stop Deimos from getting to them) to defend themselves before Deimos can cut them down.

And he will absolutely kill them for all the trouble they've caused him. Probably Sforza, too, though that's out of necessity and mercy rather than hatred.

It's uh...it's going to be interesting to see what happens after that. Because Yighraru isn't gone; it's just been thwarted for now; and the others are probably still under it's sway even if they've come to their senses (which Isabella, already completely gone, and Phobos, still unaware that his will isn't entirely his own, will not).

And I doubt any of them have any idea how deal with the whole 'touch' thing. Deimos and the other three who'd been reading Alinda's journal had nothing about that; she and her group never thought about having to remove it's corruption from people. Maybe they can banish Yighraru completely, but will that fix them? Or will the eldritch corruption just sort of go dormant until it comes back?

They have no idea. And Isbella and Phobos don't want them to try and figure it out.

phobos is all fucked up about it though. he feels like deimos has betrayed and abandoned him, and he can't fathom why. he wants to try to talk to him, make things right, but he doesn't even know where to start. He knows how stubborn Deimos can be, and Phobos is absolutely certain that he and Isabella are in the right. So he can't imagine doing anything other than trying to stop him.

unfortunately since those two are alive and still under Yighraru's influence, they'll probably try to take the rings. so hopefully someone is smart enough to grab those and keep them under lock and key and deimos' watch. no one else can be trusted. they don't even trust themselves now; they had no idea they could just be...controlled.

So uh. the clock's been reset! but deimos doesn't have nearly as much time as he did before.

ok i tried cropping the illo so that only the relevant (snz buildup) action was showing since tumblr didn't like the full (see final chapter link above for full (no mess) ver)

a h/ual/ian modern au sick/snz fic

fandom: m/xtx t/gcf // rating: E // word count: 14k / 14k // contains:couple catching cold from each other, sneezing from colds, sneezing from allergies (+cold), mess (light at first and then more descriptive), fet! x/ie l/ian, sick x/ie l/ian, allergic! h/ua c/heng, sick h/ua c/heng, sex while sick

<< FINAL CHAPTER HERE! >>

To X/ie L/ian's relief, when he returns the medicine has kicked in enough for H/ua C/heng to catch his breath. The thrill of making him feel a little better is just as good as the relentless sneezing fits as far as X/ie L/ian's dick is concerned, apparently.

Shop Fusion Collab - Splatoon 3

Hooooh boy, I have a lot to say about this one.

Let me preface this part by saying that this section would straight up not exist without the talented work of my teammate Nico. Not only did he model/rig Cordelia and the background, but it's thanks to him that I was able to learn the Blender animation pipeline. He was extremely patient with me and answered every question I had, and for that I'm extremely grateful.

For this section, I animated the shopkeeper Cordelia, from the game Dead Estate! While developing this part, I pitched the idea for a Splatoon 3 section and agreed to do the art for it regardless of what game it was paired with! That game ended up being Dead Estate, a game I had never heard of up to that point.

So, what followed was a period of deep research into the game as well as Cordelia, so I could get the best understanding of how to portray her in the Splatoon universe. First thing was first, I had to redesign her. Even for SiIvaGunner projects, humans existing within the Splatoon universe is a bit jarring, so I decided that for Cordelia's model sheet, I would try to jazz her design up to make her a better fit for this artstyle!

I explored some potential species design before deciding to make her an urchin, as I felt like it'd be the coolest way to adapt her hairstyle. I made some minor changes to her outfit and passed it along to Nico for modeling!

(image from Nico's Twitter post on his contributions, def check it out)

Needless to say I was blown away with how well he adapted the design. It came out better than I could have imagined. What soon followed was me forcing myself to learn the Blender animation pipeline from scratch!

It was a very interesting but invaluable process. I am a 2D animator by trade, with very little interest in expanding to 3D, but the more I was exposed to Blender, the more natural the process came to me. I was very surprised. I think the animation took me about a month in total to create, as I was balancing it with schoolwork at the time, but I'm very happy with how it came out considering my 3D experience level.

Beyond the 3D animation side of things, there was also the 2D assets needed for the UI, which I recreated from scratch through editing software with the help of some gracious Splatoon modders who were willing to help me rip UI and SFX from the game. All of the unique 2D weapon icons were drawn by me, each being direct callbacks to actual weapons from Dead Estate! Eagle-eyed viewers also may have caught that I snuck in a teaser for Prince Fleaswallow's upcoming section in the top right of the UI, which required me to make a Splatoon-styled head icon for him!

Overall, this one was a blast to work on. Everyone was surprised to see it being one of the earliest sections finished for the collab. We made sure to get it locked down because we knew we were in for a labor-intensive time if we wanted it to look just right.

"No kidding..." Even to him, the school had an intimidating look right now. It being very quiet, did not help, either. He nods in agreement with Yuma. "Yes... if everyone saw the same thing, then that further confirms they weren't just seeing things. I don't know if this 'thing' is doing this as some sort of sick prank, but.... exactly right; we'll put a stop to it."

"Ah, good thinking, Yuma. I imagine there won't be many lights on, so flashlights would be perfect. Plus, yeah, to preserve battery life on our phone, in case that does happen. Yeah, that was smart; navigating through this school will be much harder in the dark, after all. And even if it is, I won't allow it to lay a finger on you, Yuma. I promise to keep you safe."

As he would rather take any kind of possible hits, instead. As his senpai, Shuichi wouldn't forgive himself if Yuma got hurt. "Alright... without further ado, let's head in. We'll begin by entering the main building, just right ahead. Since we have special permission to enter the school, the doors should be unlocked." He explains while beckoning Yuma to begin walking alongside him. "According to what Usami told me, she and the others often see this 'demon' in the hallways, but even then, the school has a lot of hallways and smaller corridors... they can be in any of them and we really have no way of knowing. But what still bothers me is why your brother saw it at your house. How did they know where you live? And why just your brother, did they appear to...?"

"This place is already pretty daunting, but being here at night makes it feel... eerie... I-it almost feels like we shouldn't be here..." Yuma gulps as he stares at the main gate, the incredibly large building just beyond it ominously looming over the two boys. He still wasn't used to of Hope's Peak, but he's certain he'll have a better appreciation of it the next time he comes during daylight hours.

"Y-yes," the small detective nods, agreeing with his senpai's statement, "There's no way my brother would lie about something like that. It happened earlier this month, so I thought the most likely answer is that it has to be some sort of Halloween decoration, but after hearing you say that this has been going on for a while, I started to get worried... Whatever it is, it can't go around scaring people. Everyone has dealt with it for far too long...!"

Despite his apprehension, Yuma meets Shuichi's gentle pats with a determined look. He's definitely not thrilled to be chasing after some elusive 'fiery-eyed demon', but he'll do it even if it's just to give his brother and all the others that have encountered it at least some peace of mind.

"I wasn't sure just how well-lit the school is at night, so I brought us some flashlights. I-I don't want either of us wasting our phone's batteries in case we get separated and need to regroup. I-I also saved a map of the school on my phone just in case we get lost. I just hope that whatever we're looking for isn't hostile..."

Write the last six (6) sentences of the fic you’re working the most on.

i love how this feels moderately threatening. hooooh boy, okay. keep in mind this is not finished and very rough, don't judge me.

You spin back to Oz and expectantly hold your hand out in front of him, opening and closing your palm a few times.

“Oh, c’mon, I know you’ve got a phone. You’re not that old.” 

With a slightly perturbed sigh, he leans to the side, his hand slipping into his pocket. He retrieves the phone and holds it out to you, almost guiltily. 

Hastily, you create a new contact for yourself before returning it to him.

"HOW is it a chicken sandwich, it's a burger, it's on a hamburger bun"

"its a chicken sandwich because it's not a patty, in america patty and burger are interchangable words. if the bun made it a hamburger we'd be calling sloppy joes burgers too, or if i ran out of sliced bread and used a bun for a ham sandwich i'd have to call it a burger. the bread is virtually the same so it wouldnt make sense to make its shape the defining characteristic"

"😭 but its on a hamburger bun its a hamburger, why would it not be a hamburger. its a burger, deal with it"

hooooh boy i hate this shithole country but nothing makes me hate every nonamerican person more than hearing those mfers talk about american food or culture like they have any sort of authority 😭 i KNOW these stupid motherfuckers would jump at the chance to mock an american for arguing with an italian about what pizza is
