Krita tutorial the way I know it.
Basics: What is where.
Gimmicks.
Specific advice on specific tools.
Basics: What is where.
Tumblr media
Upon opening the program this is what you're met with. First of all, must comment: The layout is HEAVILY editable so you can just drag menus anywhere you want, even leave them floating amidst the sheet you're drawing on.
Tumblr media
You can create custom art templates, I have two o'mine here as both have my signature background color.
As well, you can edit the custom document settings, as in what size you want it, what resolution, even the initial content of the image. As well you can create from clipboard: Just copy some image from your browser and Krita will recognize it (useful for making meme edits lol).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, once you have your file, I will show you what is where.
Tumblr media
Brushes:
Brushes are easy to edit and there are tons of free bundles to download online. I myself only got one bundle, Jackpack (bit hard to find now due to original source being lost, it is still available but bit tricky to come by).
There. Are. Tons.
Tumblr media
Some of these are my custom brushes for calligraphy in neography, you might even guess which ones. You can edit existing brushes, make new ones from the ones you've edited without changing the original, and all sorts of stuff (more below in the third chapter).
There are numerous packages of brushes once you enter Krita, but only one/two are available when you first open it. To unlock them all, click here:
Tumblr media
And make sure all bundles are dark gray in color (example of both dark and light below).
Tumblr media
Now Tools Options: those will pop up depending on what tool you're using.
Tumblr media
Symmetry: Fun stuff. You can drag the lines depending on how you need them and then center them back to the center of the screen if needed.
Tumblr media
Gradients and Textures also have their tools options, you can play with those to get the feeling what they can do (more in third chapter).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Filters tab is useful too. Blurring, motion blurring, color mapping, artistic filters and all that: Quite fun.
Tumblr media
Gimmicks.
Krita allows you to customize your workspace freely. Floating menus, tabs, anything you want. It has quite many drivers at that-
To access the workspace templates, go to Window and choose Workspace.
Tumblr media
Krita allows for copy-pasting any image onto the sheet. Though, for me it sometimes crashes if I accidentally copy-paste text into it without choosing the Text tool first.
The software allows for both raster and vector work. It is basically Photoshop sharpened to be used by artists primarily.
There are some interesting mechanics regarding the Eraser (default bind E).
Tumblr media
You can use it with any brush, allowing for textured erasure/quick work. Good for sketching.
You can use it on gradients (given there's a transparent point on the gradient preset).
There's a Multibrush tool:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
People say Krita is good for animation but my brain can't wrap around it yet honestly @~@.
The keybinds:
B - Brush tool.
E - Erase tool option.
M - Mirror (useful for checking accuracy from a new angle).
Ctrl - Color pick (when used with brush or other color-using tools).
Shift+L.Mouse+drag - Changes the size of the brush by dragging left and right.
Ctrl+E - Merge layer with the one below.
Ctrl+G - Group selected layers.
Ctrl+A - Select whole sheet.
Ctrl+Shift+A - Deselect everything.
F - Bucket tool.
G - Gradient tool.
Ctrl+S - Save document.
Ctrl+Shift+S - Save As document.
Ctrl+N - New document.
Ctrl+O - Open document (will be seen in a new tab on top of the sheet).
Ctrl+C - Copy selected layer or selection.
Ctrl+X - Cut selected layer or selection.
Ctrl+V - Paste copied/cut layer or selection.
Q - Multibrush tool.
R.Mouse - Interesting thing: Opens up a quick selector for brushes and colors you've already used in the piece.
1 - Zoom 100%.
2 - Zoom to fit the piece vertically.
3 - Zoom to fit the piece horizontally.
4, 5, 6 - Turn 15 degrees (4 and 6) or undo the turning whatsoever (5).
Ctrl+I - Negative filter applied to layer.
Ctrl+U - Color editing on the layer.
Ctrl+Y - Soft proofing mode (for color mistakes and stuff like that, mostly annoying for me tbh).
Ctrl+T - Transform selection/layer.
Ctrl+R - Square select tool.
Ctrl+J - Lasso select tool.
Honestly you can just hover your mouse over tools and see their shortcut binds, as well. Or edit them in Settings.
Specific advice on specific tools.
Brush:
Tumblr media
Brush editor is a great tool for making custom brushes, and it even has a sratchpad to test them out. Lots of settings, but no need to be afraid; Most of them you might never use on purpose.
Use Brush Smoothing for great and pretty lines in lining pieces or making calligraphy.
Tumblr media
Gradient:
Tumblr media
The four icons to the right top are:
Mirror gradient.
Arrange by lightness value.
Arrange by color value.
Space the stops evenly.
Click the gradient to add a new stop. The three things to the left are:
Make the stop use Primary Color.
Make the stop use Secondary Color.
Make the stop use a fixed color.

What if a security guard wouldn’t let you back in the arena if you went out to get something. And they didn’t believe that you were harrys gf and just thought you were a crazy fan
oooh it’s been done before but here’s my version!! ;
You were running late.
It was already 7pm and you were only getting out of your car in the car park. Harry was due to be on stage in an hour and you hadn’t even seen him yet. The traffic around Dallas today has been awful. Chocker block. You’d been with Harry all day, up until 3 hours ago when he had to leave the hotel to come to the stadium for rehearsals. Normally you’d go with him, but you were so tired that you wanted a little nap before coming. The problem here was you overslept.
There were no Ubers available and a taxi would be far too expensive at this time, so you drive in Harrys car instead. You’d been following Harry on tour in his car, so when you get to different destinations you can go out on ball day trips if you want to without the obscenity of a huge tour bus or paying for Ubers everywhere. It was the main reason you were so tired though, travelling across country and into different time zones. It would be so much easier if this was the UK.
You grabbed your purse and your jacket, locking the car as you got out and started running for the backstage entrance. It was easy to make it there and you noticed security guards already standing there.
“Hi!” You smiled, slightly short of breathe. You were about to move past them when one of them shoved your shoulder back, making you stumble back unbalanced. “Wha—”
“ID and backstage pass to get through here.” One of them said, looking you up and down as if you were nothing.
If anything, you were quite shocked on how they just treated and continued to treat you. Normally, Harry would show a picture of you to these backstage security guards to make sure you’d be able to get in no problem, but it seemed like today Harry might’ve forgotten to show that photo. This was going to be a problem for you, because you’d forgotten to bring your backstage pass.
“I normally just go through? I’m Harry’s girlfriend.” You tried talking your way around the situation, not appreciating behind held up so close to show-time.
“Oh you’re Harry’s girlfriend? You must be the 7th one we’ve met tonight.” The security guy laughed and so did his friend, making your blood boil with how annoying they were being. Harry would be so pissed if he heard the way they were treating you.
“No but I actually am.”
“Then, ID and backstage passes.” One of then held out his hand whilst the other crossed his arms over his chest to make him look intimidating. Dickheads.
“I have ID just not the backstage passes.” You answered honestly, holding out your ID for them to check. They collected it and asked you questions on it, you answering them all perfectly.
“Well you definitely know you, but you have no proof you’re supposed to be where you claim to be.” They handed you back your ID and you huffed in stress.
“Well what can I show you? Photos of me and Harry together? Text messages?” You waved your arms around, getting really pissed off that this was actually happening. You’d probably miss Jenny’s whole set because of this and then 15 minutes before show-time Harry gets transported under the stage. So you only really would have half and hour with him, and that’s just not enough time. You wanted a safe and warm hug off him. You wanted a kiss. You just wanted him.
“Everyone knows they can be photoshopped.” One of the guys scoffs at your notion.
“Listen. You either show us your backstage pass or we’ll escort you off site.” The other one says a lot more firmer this time. It made you quite anxious for what you’d do if they did that - or maybe when they did that.
“Well I don’t have the backstage passes.” You sighed, rolling your eyes at the way this was going to end.
“Then let’s go.” One of them pointed to where you came from and to the car park, stepping forwards as he did so.
“I’m not leaving until you let me through those doors. My boyfriend is waiting for me.” You answered, taking a step back in stress of what they might do.
“Harry ain’t your boyfriend. Now let’s go!” They stepped forwards again and reached for you.
You swung your bag at one of them, hitting him in his side and he grunted because of the impact of your water bottle with his chest. The other one grabbed your arm and you couldn’t shake him, since you were not trained in any way for situations like this at all. His fingers dig into your skin and it made you scream out a cry, trying to kick him in any way to escape. The other one recovered ever ordered the guy holding you to escort you away whilst he stayed and guarded the door. The one holding you tugged your arms behind your body and held them tight there, it really fucking hurting. He didn’t care though and continued to walk you, asking you where your car was so he could get you out of here.
Once you reached your car he let you go and you wrapped your arms around you as he walked away again, not verbally saying anything but his eyes saying enough. Stay away. You shakily got your keys out of your bags and unlocked your door, climbing in and just sitting there. You could feel your hands really shaky and achy. Looking down with tear clouded eyes, you saw the red marks over your arms and slight bruising already. Your arms and shoulders hurt from being bent in an uncomfortable position.
You cared less about the pain though and how much of a disappointment of a girlfriend you were going to be to Harry. He was going to think either the worst for you or the worst of you. You reached in your bag on your lap for your phone, throwing your bag on the seat next to you afterwards. You wiped your eyes with the sleeve of your t-shirt and unlocked your phone to text messages, sending Harry a quick text.
To Harry: Are you free to call? x
No response. You sat there for a few minutes in silence, still shook up and teary. That had been a really awful situation to be in and you hated that you were nowhere near Harry to fix it. Your phone vibrated 3 minutes later, finding a text message from Harry. You sighed and felt safe when you saw his icon light up your notifications, knowing he was in contact with you.
From Harry: Of course, you okay? xx
You didn’t open your phone because you didn’t know how to respond. How do you tell him you’re not okay, only 20 minutes before he’s meant to be ready to go on stage? You didn’t want to worry him, but you also didn’t want him thinking you were a terrible girlfriend either.
Another vibration.
From Harry: Lovie? xx
Your eyes watered at that simple word, meaning so much more to you than five letters. It made you feel so much comfort, you only wished you could get that hug and a kiss now.
Again.
From Harry: Love, you’re worrying me now.
From Harry: Let me face-time you, hang on.
His icon lit up the screen; Incoming…
You shakily accepted, wiping your eyes quickly before. When he answered you could tell he was still in his dressing room, sat on the sofa that you wish you were also sat on with him. He looked so beautiful. His hair was perfectly styled and he was wearing a pearl coloured silk shirt and you knew he was wearing white silk pants to co-ordinate. You thought he looked ethereal. A glowing beacon of hope and beauty.
He didn’t say anything to you at first and you nothing to him. He just looked at you and instantly knew something bad was up. He kept eye contact with you and it was as if he was having a telepathic conversation with you, understanding that you needed him and just him.
“Hey, Mitch man?” Harry asked, turning his head to somewhere else in the room. “Could y’just give me a minute. Please.”
“Sure, sure.” Mitch answered and all you could hear was the sound of shuffling and the door shut. As soon as he was gone you started crying all over again. You cupped your hand over your eyes and your body shook as you just cried. Harrys heart broke that you were alone and he couldn’t hug you close to his chest.
“Y/N, baby. Look at me.” He asked urgently and you just shook your head, embarrassed that this was happening to you. “You’ll be alright lovie, I promise. Just look at me, beautiful.” You moved your hand away from your face and wiped your eyes and nose to try and make you look slightly better - not that it helped. “There’s my pretty girl.”
You smiled. He smiled.
“I-i’m so-rry H.” You whispered, sniffling in between words because of how shaky you felt.
“Hey, no. None of that. It’ll be okay.” He reassured you, keeping eye contact with you to try and decipher what was wrong. “Where are you, lovie? You’re in the car, yeah?” Harry asked, recognising your surroundings but you could get anywhere. You could have been in an accident for all he knew, but he was remaining calm so he didn’t send you into a panic.
“Yeah. In the stadium car park.” You saw Harrys eyes momentarily light up at that, before he remembered that you weren’t okay.
“Okay. Tell me why you’re upset, love. Help me understand.” He sounded urgent, just wanting to know so he could help you out. He wanted you to be okay. He wanted you with him.
“The security guards wouldn’t let me in, backstage I mean. I didn’t have my backstage pass. But..” You choked on a sob and Harry told you to just breathe. You were okay. “One of them g-grabbed me and escorted m-me of sight.”
“Baby, are you hurt? Is that why you’re upset?” Harry asked, standing up now in panic. His face looked angry, but you could tell he was trying his best to be a comfort for you. “Y/N?”
“Y-yes. Yes Harry, yes.” You voice wobbled out and you let out an exasperated sob. “I’m s-sor—”
“No don’t you dare. Don’t apologise for this. Not ever. You understand me?” He made very clear he wasn’t messing around.
“Yes.” You nodded.
“Alright. Now, you gotta be strong for me okay?” He asked, before asking, still checking that you were okay. He knew you would be though, because you were his bravest girl ever - stronger than you knew.
“Okay.”
“You’re going to make your way back to the backstage entrance, alright? I am going to be there, before you get there. Those security guards won’t be there I promise. You’ll be okay. Can you do that for me?” He asked, moving around the room and then out of the door. He was walking down the corridors, ignoring the people shouting his name. He was only focused on you.
“Yes. Okay.” You nodded, wiping under your nose again.
“I love you.” He kissed the camera of his phone, looking like he was kissing you instead.
You returned the gesture, kissing him virtually back. “I love you.”
He told you that it’d be alright and then ended the call, explaining how you didn’t need to hear him get angry when he found these security guards. They would be fired even if they weren’t on his tour crew, he’d make sure of it. You made your way back to the backstage entrance again, slowing down before you rounded the corner. Taking a deep breathe you walked around and were met with exactly what Harry promised; him.
You smiled and broke out into a run to get to him, your bag weighing on your shoulder. Once you reached him your bag was thrown on the floor in front of him and you jumped into his arms. He lifted you up to sit you around his waist, keeping his arms tight around your waist and squeezing the biggest hug out of you. Your arms tightened around your boyfriends neck and you buried your face into his neck, and god he smelt like everything homely and sweet. He felt just like home.
“See, you’re alright now lovie.” He assured you, kissing your cheek that wasn’t quite buried into his neck.
“Th-ank you.” You muttered, kissing his neck in appreciation which made him hum in delight. He tasted so hot and lush. He was insatiable. You then felt him start kissing your arms, where the harsh red and purple marks were.
“Sorry y’had to go through this.” He kept kissing your arms, until you moved your head up and looked at him with furrowed eyebrows.
“If I can’t say sorry, then neither can you.” You shook your head, kissing his nose softly. You watched his eyes flutter close and felt so special that only you could do that to him.
“You’re so amazing Y/N. Truly.”
“You’re pretty special too, my love.”
He didn’t need to hear anything else from you, those words were enough, so he pressed his lips to yours softly, filling you with the love you’d been waiting to feel all day. You smiled into the kiss and he just felt so amazing. He was so soft and gentle with you - as smooth as the silk that dressed his body. He was so pretty to watch melt away under your spell and delicious tasting. Strawberries, was that?
He was everywhere. He was everything. He always would be.

Hi my lovely! Your blog is so good, I love it!
For your summer prompt, I would like to request a Megumi or Yuuji x reader (choose the one you think suits this request best) with Mistaken Identity with dorm, infect and slap 🤍
Thank you 💖
Hey hey!! I have your request right heeeere and I had a blast writing it. I love an opportunity to write some humor and the mistaken identity is such a fun trope. I chose Yuuji for this piece and there's a lot of Nobara too because those two are a set in my opinion. I was going to make a pretty banner but I didn't want to be distracted by photoshop.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
YUUJI X FEM READER WORD COUNT: 2k (I got carried away cause I was having fun oops) CONTENT WARNINGS: No smut. They're teens after all!! At most inappropriate mentions of panty sniffing, and pictures of penises. Some violence because kids will be kids. A SUMMARY: Y/N has just moved into the dorms of Jujutsu High and gets roomed with the charismatic Nobara. Nobara catches her up on the current problem: a panty thief! And warns her to be on her guard. Y/N didn't expect to be face to face with said panty thief only on her second day at the dorms.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You never expected to be attending Tokyo Jujutsu High. Although you had some background with the paranormal, your family wasn’t one made of sorcerers. So when you accidentally met Gojo Satoru while getting caught up with a curse you didn’t even understand, you were even more confused about your true nature. He had promised to teach you more, to guide you and to place you in a school where you felt you belonged.
You weren’t sure if that weird white haired man was someone you could trust but you were willing to give it a shot.
It was your first night at Jujutsu High, and you had been assigned a roommate named Nobara. She had a cool chic vibe you could only dream to emulate. You run your fingers through your hair as you watch her toss her own out of her face. Would you look good with a bob as well?
“You can use these,” she says in a song, dramatically gesturing with two hands to one side of the dresser. She stands there as if presenting an award except you were pretty sure there was no money in any of the drawers. “The other half is mine.” You nod, finding her generosity unsettling. You didn’t trust many people, and you had no reason to doubt her sincerity. Still, you decide to keep your guard up for a bit longer just in case.
You open your suitcase on the bottom bunk bed, and begin moving over your clothes. Nobara hums as she sees you stuff your panties and socks in the top smaller drawer.
“By the way,” she starts, dragging her vowels as she leans on the opposite of the dresser. You look up through your lashes, your hair falling partially around your face like a curtain. Nobara grins. “I should warn you. There’s a little bit of drama going around. Just a bit.”
You say nothing, unsure if you even want to get involved on your first night but Nobara continues anyway. It seems she isn’t the type who needs you to respond to anything.
“There’s some creep going around stealing underwear,” she says with her elbow on the top of the dresser. She leans back and tilts her chin up, her hair falling to the side. You blush slightly, entranced by the way her glossy locks catch the light. “Big big pervert, if you ask me. Who knows what he’s doing with them!” She finishes by standing up straight and bringing her hands up as she shrugs, palms facing up. Her face is comical: twisted into an expression of feigned innocence.
You had a feeling Nobara hadn’t been anything close to resembling innocence for a very long time.
“I’m saying,” she interrupts your movements, by placing three fingers on the pair of panties you were just slipping into the drawer. You don’t move. It feels imminent that you don’t as you look up at her hazel eyes. “You should be careful. I can’t protect you from every pervert out there.”
You refrain from commenting immediately. The last thing you wanted was anyone’s protection. You were here with the purpose of growing stronger, enough that you didn’t have to rely on anyone. 
“Don’t worry,” you tell her, letting go of your underwear. Nobara grew bored of it, and tucked it in place before closing your drawer. “I can handle myself,” you finish and she looks up at you, hands on her hips. Her perfectly groomed brows knit together, and her bottom lip sticks out ever so lightly.
Sure, it was a childish expression, but it seemed even Nobara could make that kind of thing endearing. You spend the rest of the night talking about an assortment of things; or rather, Nobara taks. You nod here and there and give short responses where it feels necessary. If Nobara knew you were hesitant about opening up she certainly didn’t let you know. Her voice filled your head as you drifted off to sleep.
The next day, Nobara had taken it upon herself to give you a school tour. She showed you all her favorite spots, and the ones she disliked the most. She caught you up on everyone that she knew–who it was safe to interact with and who to avoid. Nobara even made time to bad mouth your instructor before she suddenly remembered she had a hair appointment. She waved you goodbye at the gate and you sighed in relief.
There was just so much of that girl you could take at once. The solitary quiet of the dorm seemed like a welcoming relief. So you carry your tired body towards it. You’re walking towards your dorm room, and notice the door is slightly cracked, yellow light spilling into the corridor. You soften your steps and press closer to the wall, heart in your throat.
Yuuji had half the mind to stop talking to Nobara and Megumi. He couldn’t believe she would betray him like this. It had been a silent alliance: him and Nobara versus Megumi. That’s how things should have been, you know, in order to keep the balance. But then Nobara thought it would be funny to draw a bunch of dicks on his sleeping face. She also thought it would be funny to rope a bored Megumi into it. On top of that, she had taken polaroid pictures! Not only was that antiquated but also wrong. He could go on and on about the problems he had with it; however, he had more pressing issues to address at the moment. For example: where the hell did she keep those pictures? He checked under the mattresses at first and found it silly. Those were very obvious places. So he looked through her shoes just in case she stuck something somewhere but found nothing but moth balls. Yuuji spots the dresser and begins going through the drawers, one by one.
You stop at the door. Your breathing comes in short, and tight. You blink quickly, trying to sort your thoughts. The last thing you expected was for someone to break in the very next day of your arrival. You thought Nobara had told that tale just to freak you out. You thought wrong. Fists shaking at your side, you push the door open gently with your shoulder.
The sound of rustling fills your ears. The drawers creak as they open and close. There is a figure standing before the dresser wearing a black baseball cap, and matching black jersey jacket and track pants. 
You try to think back on your self defense classes. Was anything useful at this moment? Was it still self defense if you attacked first? It isn’t until you see his gloved hand fist a pair of yellow lacy panties that you stop hesitating.
“Hey!” you yell, seeing red and your hand flies through the air. It lands on his cheek as he spins around, the sound of the smack startling you more than you expected. It must have startled the intruder as well because he tumbles backwards into the dresser. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” You demand from him, voice growing shrill. 
His big brown eyes look back at you in surprise. You swallow and set your jaw. There was no amount of doe eyed looks he could give you that would make you regret slapping him; maybe.
“Who are you?” he asks you, holding a hand against his swollen cheek.
You think about slapping him again but resist.
“You got some nerve asking me that. You are the one with my panties in your hand!” you yell furiously, pointing repeatedly at the yellow fabric peeking in between his fist. 
He looks down at his hand, as if it didn’t belong to him. He stares before shaking his hand with a surprised yelp, dislodging the panties from his finger. They fall to the ground in a crumpled heap.
“I-I-It’s not what it looks like!” he stammers, holding his hands up, palms facing you. You advance towards him and think maybe, just maybe, you wouldn’t mind strangling him.
“Oh no?” you ask him, with a tilt of your head. Your sarcasm is deadly; a sharp knife you like to throw at any given opportunity. Your father liked to remind you of your vice every change he got. “So you don’t look like a creepy panty sniffer at all? Huh?”
There’s redness that creeps up his neck. You watch it swallow his face whole.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” he yells back but you know his heart is not in it. He is holding on the dresser for support. You wonder if he thinks that will protect him from your anger.
“You don’t know? Are you infected with some amnesia parasite?” you ask him, well aware you have reached the point of reason. You are so mad you feel yourself shaking. You should talk yourself down, but the longer he stands there looking like a bumbling fool, the angrier you get. “Then, maybe if I mess you up a little bit you’ll remember.”
Yuuji stares at you blankly. His mouth opens in protest but you’re on him, bringing him into a headlock. His hands slap against your arms, and you tighten your hold. His baseball cap falls off to reveal a full head of pink waves. You weren’t expecting that. In your moment of surprise, your hold on him losens, and he wrestles you to the ground.
It isn’t until he has you by the wrists, pinning them above your head while he sits on you that Nobara walks in, saying something about a forgotten wallet.
Your breathing is heavy, matching the boy above you. You glare up at him, and try to rip your hands away but he is strong. His fingers grip you tighter. You look around him at Nobara.
“He’s the panty thief! He’s the one!” you yell, kicking your legs. Yuuji sits his butt on your knees to keep you from moving further. 
“Absolutely not!” Yuuji protests, a flush still on his cheeks. Yuuji stops frowning down at you long enough to glance over his shoulder towards the door threshold. Nobara is standing there, leaning on the door with a crooked smile on her face. “Where are the pictures, Nobara?”
“As if I would tell a panty thief anything,” Nobara retorts seriously. It doesn’t last long and her laughter is explosive. It takes up the expanse of the room, and you feel its heat graze against your cheeks. It sets your skin on fire. “He’s no thief. He’s just Yuuji,” she says at last, pushing herself off the door. “Get off,” she commands gently, tapping Yuuji’s shoulder.
He lets go of your wrists and moves off your legs, dropping himself on the ground next to you. You immediately crawl away to a corner where you felt safer. You wish the ground would open up and swallow you whole or maybe a curse would come through the wall and end it all. That would be infinitely more preferable than having to look at Nobara and the boy named Yuuji in the eyes.
“You should apologize,” the pink haired boy says, one leg up, an arm draped over his knee. His frown is deep set despite the softness of his eyes. “It isn’t nice to accuse people of things like that. I have a reputation, you know.”
“Yeah,” Nobara chimes in, crossing her arms in front of her chest. She is leaning on the dresser looking down at you. “His reputation is that of an idiot. You can’t go around changing it.”
Yuuji says something mean, maybe a cuss word, you’re not sure and Nobara is cackling. All of a sudden it feels like the issue is forgotten. You look from face to face as they bicker and tease each other. 
“Sorry,” you mumble at last, feeling your eyes burning. Yuuji’s frown instantly flips, and he smiles at you: bright and warm.
“No biggie,” he claims. He touches his cheek as an afterthought. “Although, you owe me a meal for the slap. That really stung!”

Total Eclipse Pt 7
Recommended Song: LION by (G)I-dle
|Chapters|Masterlist|
Summary:
After a fateful day in an Egyptian tomb, things have never been the same for Jungkook, or you, after a certain vengeful god decided to make him its fist.
Genre: Angst, Actiony, Romance, F2L UWU
Pairing: Moon Knight!Jungkook X Reader (Y/N)
Warnings: Swearing, Violence, Blood, Death of Major and Minor Characters. Body Horror. Talk of what its like to die. SMUT. Gore.
Word Count: 1364
Note:Jungkook will not be having DID in this fic. Khonshu has had many avatars over the millenia and I’m pretty sure Marc is the only one that has DID. Although there will be some slight overlap between Marc and Jungkook such as mercenary work.
I apologise for my shitty photoshop, my partner who does freelance design tried to help. Needless to say photoshoping is hard. In fact other than Jungkook, my partner did this whole little banner.
Tumblr media
You twirled a khopesh in your hand as you went down hall after hall. It was like the tomb was never ending until eventually, there was an opening. A grand chamber covered in Macedonian text. But you didn't have time to connect the dots between Macedonian in an Egyptian tomb, that revelation would have to wait as there by an open sarcophagus with his hand reaching in was Harrow.
"Get your hand out of the dead's mouth you disrespectful bastard."
Harrow smirked at you, hand still reaching into the mummy, “Ah, I see Hathor has decided to abandon her previous avatar. She’s finally decided to step in then… But she’s a little too late for that.”
With that he raised his hand, an ushabti of Ammit tight in his grip. Time seemed to move slower, preparing to launch yourself at the man, his arm arching to shatter the idol on the ground. But Harrow’s followers opened fire on you both before you could even take a step.  The bullets tore into you, making you jolt with each that hit you, and as quickly as they shattered bone and ruptured your organs, they were being pushed out of you, your body repairing itself at a rapid fire rate. The sound of them meeting their mark then clinking on the stones beneath you echoed throughout the chamber. Along with stone breaking. A purple mist seeped out of the broken statue, swirling up into the air. The followers ceased their fire to stare at Ammit as she materialised.
A snarl came from behind you, “You’ve failed, little human. Disappointing.”
The crocodilian goddess looked to you and the gods behind you, “Khonshu, I see time hasn’t been kind to you. And Sekhmet, still struggling with just who you are?”
Sekhmet growled, her anger boiling in your veins.
“We won’t let you stay free, Ammit, we cannot allow it. Priest, you and the starling deal with the mortals, we’ll subdue her.” Khonshu commanded. 
For the first time you saw the god as he and Sekhmet charged at Ammit. He was a giant, yet decaying. His hawk head was already a bare skull, connected to his bandaged body with cobwebs. He had a staff with a crescent moon at its top which he used to try and slash at Ammit.
You turned your attention away from them as Jungkook was suddenly shielding you from yet more gun fire with his body and cape. You knew that behind his mask he was most likely grimacing at the pain. You were racking your brain for a way to stop them when a hunting spear appeared in your hand. Following your instincts, you ducked out from the cape just enough to lock on target and launched your spear. It skewered one of the followers right through the chest and lodged into the floor. You watched as those around them stopped in shock, their peer choking on their own blood as they haemorrhaged onto the ground and into their chest cavity, both bleeding out and drowning. You could feel Sekhmet’s pleasure at the bloodshed. It overwhelmed your disgust at having taken a life, even if these people were actively trying to kill you. 
Jungkook broke away from you with a quiet instruction, “I’ll take Harrow, you take his goons.” 
You nodded, using the momentary stillness to race towards one of them, khopesh at the ready. They might be armoured, but that’s exactly what khopesh were designed to deal with. With strength that surprised even you, you hacked right through their kevlar and broke through their ribs in one bloody display, dyeing you blade crimson. You stared at it for a second, Sekhmet practically purring in your head already, before gunfire and bullets hitting your back drew you away with a growl. You couldn’t tell if that was you or your goddess but that didn’t matter as you practically pounced on your assailant, breaking their skull open with a single blow of your khopesh, brain matter splattering onto you. 
You were sent flying as something hard collided with you from behind. Jungkook groaned on top of you as he took a moment to gather himself. He rolled off you with an apology and you turned to see what the commotion was. Harrow was rushing towards you with an… axe? You brought up your blades to block his attempt to strike Jungkook. Something primitive inside of you was deeply satisfied with being able to protect your lover. Harrow put more weight behind his weapon, hoping to make you buckle but Jungkook was quick to his feet, landing a solid punch to Harrow’s ear, throwing him off balance.
“Don’t kill him yet, we need him alive to seal Ammit!” Khonshu ordered. 
So this was a game of endurance. And with it being two against one, the odds were in your favour. You flipped off the floor to your feet, and slashed at Harrow’s waist, making him dodge you but right into Jungkook’s spin kick, causing him to stumble back into a portal that opened up behind him. The two of you followed him through, the portal closing behind you, trying to not let him catch his breath. Harrow pointed his axe at you.
“Look out!” Jungkook yelled as a blast of purple energy came flying at you. 
Again you brought your khopesh up to block. The energy met them and deflected right back to Harrow, sending him flying back. That must have been what sent Jungkook flying into you earlier. 
“Nice. Right, I go high, you go low.”
“Sounds good to me.” Your voice was twisted to your ears. Yes it was you but there was something about it that was just… off.
You lept in pursuit of your prey, which was rising to his feet. Jungkook wasn’t far behind you, literally flying over you to swipe at Harrow with a crescent blade. He dodged and you followed with the back of your blade, knocking him into Jungkook’s next blow, cutting him across the cheek. The wound was slow to heal compared to you and Jungkook’s abilities. Perhaps it was because his god was a devourer, not a healer. 
You swung a khopesh again but this time it was met with Harrow’s axe. However, this gave Jungkook yet another opening, landing an uppercut to Harrow’s jaw. Harrow landed on the floor dazed. 
“We’ve got Ammit pinned. Now quickly, repeat after me.” Khonshu started chanting something which you followed, Jungkook picking it up soon after.
A white electricity connected you to Jungkook and the statues you didn’t notice were surrounding you in front of thrones, their eyes lighting up. Harrow groaned as in the distance Ammit screamed, purple mist seeping into him. It was not a quick process, Harrow was withering on the floor below you. As soon as the energy fizzled away you knew it was over.
“Do it, kill him now!” Sekhmet ordered.
Your body moved almost on its own as you felt part of yourself slip away. With a khopesh still in hand you crouched over the now defenceless man and began hacking him apart. You could feel Jungkook’s horrified gaze on you and it wasn’t long until he was trying to pull you off the mangled corpse. 
“It’s over, he’s dead! You can stop now!” he called to your reason.
You shrugged him off, Sekhmet was not satisfied. He tried again and this time was successful in restraining you despite your struggles. 
“Y/N, listen. Listen to me.  I need you to snap out of it. I need you -” He paused but kept his grip, refusing to let you go as Khonshu spoke to him. He chuckled as his mask dematerialised and he turned you to face him. And then his lips were meeting yours in a rushed kiss and something in your brain clicked. This time Hathor was purring in the back of your head.
You pulled away out of breath, “Of course Hathor, a goddess of sexuality, would take over with a kiss.”
“I’m just glad it worked. Like seeing you fight is hot but seeing that… that wasn’t you.”
You nodded and rested your head against his chest, the restraint turning into a comforting embrace.

hii claudia!! do you mind explaining how you make cool edits like this /post/641779593144074240/one-year-of-walls-january-31st-2020 and this /post/631529052829843456 please? (whenever you have time of course!) tysm!!
anon i am..... so sorry that i’m answering this two whole months after u sent it.... better late than never righ..t.....?,,,,,
so, here i’ll be explaining how i made this gif!
Tumblr media
it’s a bit long so everything is under the cut (i recommend u see this on desktop):
first of all u gotta have like general knowledge of how photoshop stuff works, like making a gif for example or sharpening (i wont be explaining how to do those here, if u need to know how im sure u can find tutorials on itsphotoshop or yeahps or one of those ps resources pages)
first i open the walls cover art and then i redimension it to the size i want and i sharpen it so that it looks clearer (if while sharpening it you end with several layers make sure to select them all and merge them so you only have one layer in the cover art)
then i make a gif out of the smiley that appears at the beginning of this video, cropping it to how i want it to look over the cover art and making sure it has the same dimensions as the cover art
once i have the gif ready i press ctrl+alt+A and all the layers on the right should be selected, then i ctrl+G and all those layers should now be inside a group
Tumblr media
now because the smiley is black i'll adjust it to make it white. I go to selective colors and make these adjustments:
Tumblr media
then i click on invert, and the gif should look like this now
Tumblr media
now while pressing ctrl click on both the selective color and invert layers, then right click on them and select "create clipping mask". That makes sure that these adjustments apply to the smiley only and they dont mess with the cover art that we'll later put in the gif. the layers thing should be looking like this:
Tumblr media
make sure that you have the invert layer selected. then where you have the both the gif and cover art tabs at the top you need to drag the one where you have the cover art to the central part so you can see both pics at the same time like this:
Tumblr media
then drag the cover art layer over the smiley gif
Tumblr media
make sure both the cover art and the gif align perfectly. once it's in position duplicate the cover art layer and delete the original layer. then drag the copy to the very bottom of the layers. it should look like this:
Tumblr media
then in the timeline at the bottom make sure that the first frame is selected
Tumblr media
then select the group 1 layer and then click on the tab that says "pass through" just above the layers, once the options are displayed select "lighten"
Tumblr media
you'll see now that the smiley's bg is see through and u can see the cover art under it :D
Tumblr media
now to make it look like its going behind louis what i do is duplicate the cover art layer and put that copy all the way at the top of the layers and then erase around louis so we can see the smiley under it
Tumblr media
here i hid all the other layers so u can see the parts i erased
Tumblr media
and there it is! after that u can play around w the adjustments to change colors like u want n stuff
Tumblr media
i hope this is clear enough to understand fjlkjgl it's my first time making a tutorial rip. if u have any questions my inbox is open!

✧・゚: *✧・゚:* AHSOKATONAS PHOTOSHOP TUTORIALS *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
hi hello everyone! it’s been a while, but i’m finally back with a h i g h l y requested tutorial from anons and my mutuals! so before we dive right in, here are a few new rules if you choose to follow this tutorial: if you find this helpful, please give this post a like and/or reblog, i’ll appreciate it a lot! if you use this tutorial for any future edits, please give some form of credit. i’ll accept an @ or a redirect/insp link to this tutorial or a specific edit i made. 
if anyone would like a request on another tutorial, feel free to send an ask here! now without further-ado, let’s get to it!
how to create this↴
Tumblr media
note: this is how i learned how to do this and it’s the easiest way for me. feel free to add/change my steps as you use this tutorial.
to start off, you want to gather images. for me, this is the hardest and most crucial step because i’m super picky when i want to make my edits look as realistic as possible. on this particular edit, i searched on google for canon star wars character posters, pngs, and screencaps until i found one i liked for the outfit i picture my oc to wear. same goes for my image of rosa salazar, the bd droid, and the lightsaber ( originally blue ).
here are all the images i used for this edit!
Tumblr media
now that you have all of your images, open photoshop. i use cc, but if you have any program that allows you to erase, paint, free transform, and add multiple layers, then you can recreate this!
once ps is open, create a blank, black canvas. my crop size is 268x171 and the image size is 900x575 pixels. then, start masking/erasing your photos to make pngs. you can use an eraser for this ( add a layer mask beforehand so you can fix your mistakes!!!! ), but i used my quick selection tool instead bc it’s faster and i’m lazy. here’s a great tutorial for anyone who doesn’t know how to use the quick selection tool!
this is how my image looked like when i kept the parts i wanted for the outfit:
Tumblr media
now, the tricky part, adding another head on top of that. luckily, the picture i chose for rosa worked when i flipped the image horizontally, titled the head with free transform, and erased until i could get it as realistic as possible.
Tumblr media
whenever creating a manip such as this, be sure to adjust the different colorings, brightness/contrast, etc. to make things easier, use your “option” key on a layer so it only affects that one layer and not the whole image ( sad to say i only learned that recently but moving on. )
then i added the rest of the images such as the droid and the lightsaber which i colored purple by using selective color and hue/saturation layers.
Tumblr media
now the fun part, p a i n t i n g. i admit, it can be tricky when you have no idea what to do with it. as long as you play around with it and have fun, it’ll look good in the end! start by creating two new layers. place one underneath all of your layers and one on top.
then i use the paint color and select a purple to use since purple is color i want to focus. after that, i change the paintbrush mode to either screen or overlay ( i used both, depending on what and where i was painting ) and changed the opacity so i can build up the color. when they say less is always more, it’s really true. also i used black too in case i added too much purple to my liking.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you can add multiple layers when painting so you don’t accidentally mess up when using multiple colors. this is what my layers looked like when i was content.
Tumblr media
i know some are barely visible but i promise, all of the layers have paint on them. 
after this, there isn’t much to do. add on some lighting/distressed overlays to give more texture, add text, any psd you chose, adjust with brightness, saturation, etc. if needed, and boom! you have your very own manip of your oc with a lightsaber!
Tumblr media
i hope this helped anyone who is struggling with photoshop or just helped someone in general! let me know if any of you have any questions or requests for another tutorial!

Gif Tutorial (+ some Tumblr basics)
So I received this beautiful ask from @floydtab​ :
Tumblr media
Again, I want to thank you greatly for this very sweet message. ♥ Hope you find this tutorial helpful. x
To know how I make my gif, read under cut:
Tumblr media
First, I use KMPlayer to screencap the scene I wanted to gif. So if you don’t have one yet, I suggest you download.
NOTE: But before anything else, this is how I screencap in KMPlayer. Open the Player and the video you want to capture. Hit “Ctrl+G” and this box will appear: (and the highlighted ones are the settings I use)
Tumblr media
Then click “Start” and it will start screencapping. To Stop, just click “Stop” and choose “Open” to see the images screencapped.
So after you have screencapped the scene you wanted, it’s time to open Photoshop! cheers!
But first, take note of the sizes Tumblr accept for photosets:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
NOTE: Tumblr can only accept up to 10 image sets.
Sorry, if I’m saying a lot of things so let’s go back to Photoshop Click “CTRL + N” for new image. I’m going to be using the size: 540 x 268 px. 
Tumblr media
Make sure to choose “Frame Animation”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To load your image, go to: File > Scripts > Load Files Into Sack...
Tumblr media
Then another box will appear. Hit “BROWSE...” and choose the images you screencapped. After it loaded click “OK”
Tumblr media
So i will be using some clips of Joe Mazzello from The Social Network since i love him. lol. 
Tumblr media
First group your layers by clicking “CTRL + ALT + A” and you will notice that all your layers are selected. Then click “CTRL + G” and there your layers are grouped: circled in yellow. :)
 (now look the red circle)
Tumblr media
This one: 
Tumblr media
Click on it and choose “Copy Frame”
Tumblr media
Then go back to your blank image where you will paste the images you loaded, to gif. 
Tumblr media
Just click on those bars again and choose “Paste Frame.” 
Tumblr media
A box will appear.  Choose “Paste Over Selection” and hit “OK”
Tumblr media
And this is how your workspace will look: (You will notice the ‘background’ layer, which I encircled in red. Delete that by clicking on that layer and hit the ‘backspace’ or ‘Del’  in your keyboard.)
Tumblr media
I know, it doesn’t look really good, so we gotta transform. And this is where it will get a little complicated. But it will get easy once you’re familiar.
Hit “Ctrl + T” of your keyboard and see the red circles, you can choose either of them, then hold “shift” (or as for me I hold “Alt”, it depends) as you drag the image, so it won’t warp. until it fits in the box. (it depends on you what perspective you wanted with your image.)
Tumblr media
As for me I like to focus on his face, so I will only fit his face in the box. And it will end up like this:
Tumblr media
Now, we’ll go to the animation, the basic of gifmaking. ;)
This is your “Timeline” (look at the image below). Make sure the Photoshop you downloaded have the Frame Animation and Video Timeline.
Tumblr media
Notice the bars again (circled in red). Click on them again and choose “Make Frames From Layers”
Tumblr media
And the frames will appear. Now we gotta “Reverse” them. So, click on the bars (circled in red) again:
Tumblr media
And choose “Reverse Frames”
Tumblr media
After that, select all your frames, as we’re going to change the speed of your gif.
Tumblr media
TAKE NOTE OF THE TINY ARROW HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW (image below), CLICK ON THAT AND CHOOSE “OTHER...”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And a box will appear: “Set Frame Delay”
I always use “0.05″ or “0.07″ for my gifs, as it’s make the gif smooth.
Tumblr media
To play your gif, click on the “play button” or the arrow that is, on your timeline. And always set it to “Forever”
Tumblr media
For closer look: 
Tumblr media
WE ARE ALMOST DONE! This time you’re just going to play with the colors or you can just download coloring PSDs from any resource blogs like: @chaoticresources​ or @yeahps​ ; and also check my resource blog: @rexourcez​.
So from this:
Tumblr media
After adding some PSD coloring, it will end up like this:
Tumblr media
But we’re not yet done  as we needed to add another secret ingredient of gifmaking: THE SHARPENING.
To sharpen image the easy way, we have to convert to Video Timeline. (see image below)
Then your workspace will look like this:
Tumblr media
Now, choose on the “group/folder” of the images you gif. And “Convert it to Smart Object”, by “right-clicking” on your mouse.
Tumblr media
So let’s now move on to sharpening. Go to “FILTER > SHARPEN > SMART SHARPEN”
Tumblr media
And this is my sharpening settings: (you can also download some sharpening actions from the resource blogs I mentioned, or to any resources blog)
Tumblr media
To save your image, go to “FILE > EXPORT > SAVE FOR WEB (LEGACY)”  or in your keyboard click  “ALT + SHIFT + CTRL + S”
Tumblr media
And this is my save settings: ( I only use either “Diffusion” or “Noise” depending on the quality.) and Tumblr only accept sizes up to 8mb, so make sure not to exceed.
Tumblr media
THE RESULT:
Tumblr media
FEEL FREE TO TAG ME IN YOUR CREATIONS, IF YOU FIND THIS TUTORIAL HELPFUL! ciao! ♥

Tumblr media
My favorite little-known fact about @benditlikepress​ is that she was actually there when Tony and Ziva posed as the Rauniers in “Under Covers.” Here’s photo proof if you don’t believe me... People also don’t seem to know that the cool mom from Mean Girls was actually inspired by Jess taking care of Tony and Ziva while they were undercover. She is quoted to have said “Can I get you guys anything? Some snacks? A condom? Let me know! Oh, God love ya.”
Haters will say it’s Photoshop, but it’s clearly not. Jess is even wearing a mask to social distance... she’s been doing that since before it was cool! Tony and Ziva are hella lucky to have her.
You know who else is lucky to have her?
We are. 
Just about every Friday, she blesses us with a new fic. She makes us laugh, she makes us cry, she makes us think hella dirty thoughts about Tiva... the whole nine yards. She’s able to not only truly understand the characters we love so much, but also use that understanding to craft stories that could honest-to-Gd be canon. She truly is the Tiva queen!
And on a totally non-fandom-related level, I’m extra super duper lucky to have her.
She’s the Ziva to my Tony, my favorite Jesstaurant, the true HBIC. She’s one of my favorite wives. She knows all kinds of insightful things (“just open the window, you’ll be fine!”, “extra is the bestra!”, “stealing is appealing!”). She just gets me, man. We’ve hung out with the same squirrels and we have the same dog and her mom is my bff. 
Don’t try to understand our love, y’all. 
And today is her birthdaaaaaaaay!
SO.
Everyone stop what you’re doing and wish her the happiest birthday ever, because she deserves all the love and all the happiness. 
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Talks Machina Highlights - Critical Role C2E4 (Feb 6, 2018)
Oh no.
Tonight’s guests are Sam Riegel, Liam O’Brien, and Marisha Ray!
New opening sequence by @wendydoodles! In true episode-50 fashion, they play it twice in a row because it’s so much fun.
Ashley accidentally calls Brian during the show, so he picks up and puts her on speakerphone.
Announcements: issue four of Vox Machina: Origins is out, the podcast will be updated with episode 4 on Thursday, tomorrow at 9:30 Pacific is a new G&S show called Weave Society (a team-up of Mines N Crafts and AXYB).
@critrolestats for episode 4!
Nott has stolen 8 items since the campaign began. Liam adds to the list: “The audience’s heart.”
20% of die rolls in this episode were single-digit even after mods. By comparison, episode 3 was only 17%. By further comparison, C1E114 was only 3.9%. Le-vel two! Le-vel two!
Sam and Liam get kicked out while Brian asks Marisha questions about her solo scene last week. The show briefly turns into Marisha and Brian dissing Sam’s clothes.
Marisha had pretty much decided on the Cobalt Soul route ahead of time, since it was part of her backstory: running away from the Cobalt Reserve monks.
There was some temptation to say no to the offer, especially when the speeches got a bit more flowery. Marisha: “Beau was sitting there like *jerk-off motion*.” It took the punch to really get her attention.
Marisha is a little concerned that the group is starting to view Beau as a liability (in a different way than Keyleth was), but she also points out that pretty much the whole group is a liability right now. She thinks it makes sense for Matt to pull in Beau’s backstory first, just to give her a more profound reason to stick around.
Beau is partly just trying to learn new moves, but she’s also motivated by her new mentor being a “hot elf monk”.
Beau’s "fuck-it” attitude is partly related to some deeper backstory stuff, but also motivated in part by rebellion against her rich dad.
Gif of the week: Matt losing it over Nott’s zero-deception roll.
All Sam and Liam know about Beau’s scene was a muffled yell of “I’M GONNA PUNCH YOUR FACE” and two natural twenties. Liam suspects Matt and Marisha were just paying bills. Marisha: “In our new segment sponsored by H&R Block...”
Sam has been rewearing his shirts in order from the first campaign, but he was absent in episode 5, so now he’s not sure what to do. He likes the idea of going topless, but “we want to retain viewers”. Marisha suggests a chroma key green shirt that can be photoshopped at will.
Sam is impressed that so much of the party managed to buy drugs four episodes in when it took Scanlan so long. Liam: “I guess you’re just bad at Dungeons & Dragons.”
Caleb knew he and Nott would be able to fake their way through the bathhouse with confidence. Sam: “Do you have a wealthy past?” Liam: “No, I’m a mermaid werewolf.”
Sam thinks that Jester’s backstory is that there is no backstory. It’s all just on the surface.
Art of the week: a gorgeous boulder-parchment-shears attack for Beau.
The intense focus on bathing was originally to mess with Laura, but now Liam’s coming up with a justification for it. There is absolutely no salt whatsoever over the cast latching onto the stinky thing to the extent they did. Not even a little bit. Nope.
Nott is not especially enthused about water.
Marisha has had fencing, stage combat, Krav Maga, little bit of taekwondo, boxing, tai chi, bo staff, quarterstaff, European fighting stick. She’s interested in different fighting styles and how they came about.
Liam and Sam share their different stories about how Sam picked goblin rogue. Sam: “I feel like we’re in a fight.” Liam: “All I hear is aerators.”
Caleb saved Nott’s life in the prison they escaped from; Sam emphasizes that Nott is extremely concerned about his well-being. “She’s seen him almost die a bunch. He is dainty.”
Liam and Matt have talked about specific spells Caleb’s interested in, including a tiny bit of homebrew. Sam asks if the new spells he learned are a part of what he’s been working towards. Liam, avoiding the question entirely: “Hmm. Interesting.”
Caleb and Nott have been "getting fucked up running shitty little cons for a while now.” Caleb’s been wanting to find people who were level-headed and could help out, and so, failing that, he gravitated towards Fjord as someone who at least seems a bit more rational (”I know he’s an asshole too”). He’s also excited to get a chance to riff off Travis more often in this campaign. The words “actor boner” come up and are inevitably mined for high comedy.
Sam mentions that we’ve seen a bit of Nott’s personality quirks that made her an outcast from her particularly bloodthirsty clan of goblins, but any further details of her backstory will play out in the game.
Sam reveals that Nott has been gifted flowers in the past. Brian: “What was her reaction?” Sam: “She ate them.”
Talks Machina Popcorns Machina on Alpha:
Everything is temporarily derailed when Marisha swats a fly into her drink.
There is already half-werewolf half-mermaid art of Caleb from earlier in the show.
Items from the last campaign they wish they had? Liam wants the Displacement Cloak. Sam wants the Tome of Leadership so Nott can get some charisma (it would put her all the way up to 7). Marisha points out that Keyleth was going to use it after a hundred years, so Liam starts plotting a heist... where they’ll have to wait 80 years after stealing it to use it. Sam: “Oh wait, goblins only live 45 years.” Marisha wants an Immovable Rod. Sam wants a Bag of Holding. Marisha wants the healing potions she didn’t use last time.
Marisha on the women in the party having the highest strength scores: “It’s dope as fuck.”
Bad travel habits: Caleb will want to go to bookstores constantly. Everyone agrees that Jester’s the kind of person who’ll want to stop every time she sees anything remotely interesting.
Sam and Liam are both having a really hard time picking their options for level 3. Marisha’s a little more laid-back: “Combat class!” She already knows what she’s doing.
Things, as they do, get a little out of hand when Sam suggests a key party. Liam gets up and leaves the studio. Sam: “You said we could make a snuff film!” Brian, talking over the Geek and Sundry logo at the end: “PLEASE END IT.” It’s about par for the course, really.

Total Eclipse Pt 6
Recommended Song: When The Seasons Change by Five Finger Death Punch
|Chapters|Masterlist|
Summary:
After a fateful day in an Egyptian tomb, things have never been the same for Jungkook, or you, after a certain vengeful god decided to make him its fist.
Genre: Angst, Actiony, Romance, F2L UWU
Pairing: Moon Knight!Jungkook X Reader (Y/N)
Warnings: Swearing, Violence, Blood, Death of Major and Minor Characters. Body Horror. Talk of what its like to die. SMUT.
Word Count: 1179
Note:Jungkook will not be having DID in this fic. Khonshu has had many avatars over the millenia and I’m pretty sure Marc is the only one that has DID. Although there will be some slight overlap between Marc and Jungkook such as mercenary work.
I apologise for my shitty photoshop, my partner who does freelance design tried to help. Needless to say photoshoping is hard. In fact other than Jungkook, my partner did this whole little banner.
Tumblr media
Jungkook had just wrestled his assailant off him when he saw your neck get sliced open by the undead thing's nails. It was ugly, jagged, like it had been trying to tear your throat out. Time seemed to stop then, when the thing let go, your body falling to the ground as he just watched in shock.
"Y/N!"
This couldn't be happening. This couldn't be happening.
And then time kickstarted again and he was seeing red. He jumped up to his feet and grabbed the creature closest to him and thrust it face first into the wall, its head exploding from the shear force behind the action, covering his hand in viscera that splattered on to him as well. The next one, the one with your blood on its hands leaped onto his back, trying to rip and tear its way through his suit but failing. Jungkook flipped it over his shoulder and onto the floor, stomping into its chest cavity, crushing its heart beneath his boot. For extra measure, he took one of his crescent blades and hacked at the thing's neck until it had separated from its body.
His breathing was ragged when he finally stopped, dropping his blade to rush over to where you lay unmoving. His mask dissolved away.
"No no no." His hands hovered over you, unsure of what to do before pulling up into his arms, he called forth Khonshu's power to heal and watched as… nothing happened. "Khonshu! Why isn't it working? Heal her please!" He pleaded.
"She is beyond my reach, my son."
"Bullshit. You brought me back. Bring her back too. Bring her back!"
"That's because I chose you for my avatar. I can only have one at a time."
"Then make her your avatar! Take this power and bring her back to me!"
"... You know she would never agree to that."
Jungkook wailed, holding you tighter and trying again to revive you, tears falling freely as he pressed his head to yours, "Please, please, if there are any other gods out there, any listening, please… she didn't deserve this. I'm begging you, bring her back. I'll do whatever you ask, just don't let this be the end."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“You poor little human, touched by Khonshu. Slain during your quest to keep humanity safe before it even began. Those guardians don’t know friend from foe.” Came a regal voice.
You opened your eyes, finding yourself in a lounge of some kind. Across from you sat a goddess with a lioness head. They were either Hathor or Sekhmet. The problem of knowing which was in front of you currently was that they were essentially two halves of one whole sharing a body. 
“Where am I?”
“This is a vessel travelling outside space and time, inside the Othervoid and you, little human, are dead.”
“I kind of gathered that.”
The goddess chuckled, “We have an offer for you, so you can return. We are Hathor and Sekhmet, goddesses of love, war, healing, destruction, transition, vengeance, protector of pharaohs in war and death. The eye of Ra. Normally we keep out of human affairs but we cannot risk Ammit being released. So, we are in need of a warrior. Bind yourself to us to protect this world and the one you love, be our hands and eyes in the mortal world.” The goddess stood and held her hand out to you, “In exchange for your life, do you swear to love and protect those who are worthy and to avenge them should they come to harm?”
You reached for her hand, so much larger than your own, “I do.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Light filled your vision, much like when Khonshu had given you his sight. With a gasp you pulled air back into your empty lungs. You could feel the gash across your neck stitch itself shut. You were still getting your bearings so it took you a second to realise you were being clutched in Jungkook’s arms, he was quaking, sobbing. You raised a hand onto his shoulder, getting his attention. Jungkook startled, pushing you away just enough to get a good look at you. And you him.
His suit was covered in blood, whose you didn’t know, his mask was down. His face was red and blotchy from crying, hair a mess and his eyes not glowing.
“Y/N! Oh thank the gods! Whichever one answered my prayer. Khonshu said there was nothing we could do and I- I- Y/N… Don’t you dare die on me again.” 
He pulled you into him again, squeezing you tightly, using your breathing as an anchor for his volatile emotions. 
You wrapped your arms around him, “It's okay. I’m back, I’m here.”
“I see you have become the avatar to the Eye of Ra, little starling… or should I say little sun?”
Strange, you still couldn’t see him.
“Honestly, cousin, I can’t believe you let your avatar’s lover die like that. Look at the poor boy, he’s shaken beyond belief. Although, I doubt you would understand. You’re still a child.” You jumped a little when you saw your goddess appear, arms crossed and a playful smirk on her features. “Little human, what would you like to wear as our warrior?”
“Something practical I guess.”
“So be it.”
The goddess clicked her fingers and Jungkook let go so you could stand. Red linen snaked around you like how Jungkook’s bandages did when forming his suit. But unlike his suit, your arms were left bare from fabric, instead adorned with golden braces. You had no cape or mask either. Instead you were in a red thigh length tunic with slits up to the hip, over that you had a type of kilt Egyptian men wore in the ancient times, on your hips was a golden belt with two Khopesh blades. And luckily your legs were covered in a pair of loose fitting white trousers, similar to sweatpants but… better was the only way you could put it. It was like a mix of the modern and the ancient past had formed your attire. 
“Wow, I’m almost jealous,” Jungkook praised, “but your eyes aren’t glowy… Is that not compulsory?”
“I guess Khonshu has a flare for the dramatic,” you offered, “now come on, we have a jaded ex to stop.”
"Be careful, little starling, Sekhmet is not a goddess to be trifled with. Her bloodlust is legendary," Khonshu's voice echoed in your head as you made your way deeper into the tomb, Jungkook close behind.
You were aware of this already. In myth Sekhmet was made from Ra's anger at humanity. You had read how Sekhmet decimated humanity and ignored Ra's orders to stop. How she had to be tricked into drinking beer for her rampage to end. And how, for a time, she left the gods in anger at being tricked, making Ra's power diminish and Thoth had to persuade her to return. 
You took hold of your Khopesh, which were lighter than you expected, and prayed that Hathor would be the one guiding you through this upcoming fight.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: So this version of Hathor/Sekhmet is different from the Marvel comic depiction of them and is hopefully more in line with actual Egyptian mythology. I'm no expert so if you guys have any useful tid bits or nuggets of info that'd be great :)

omgggg runes!!!! they bring so many memories vbfjhdcs i remember when i was much much younger i learned the writing for fun and then wrote fun thoughts and / or diary entries in my cool secret writing in the middle of class knowing damn well nobody would be able to read it but me bjfhdc it was so much fun!!! thinking back about it maybe that’s why im so fascinated with asian languages (and generally languages that use a different writing system) because!!! it makes reading challenging!! and challenging = fun!!! bdjhcs sorry for being a language nerd rn but i remember when i tried learning some greek last year my brain HURT trying to learn how to read the words fluently because it takes so much energy and brain power to consciously tell yourself a “y” looking letter is pronounced as a hard g or that a “v” is pronounced as an “n”, it hurt my brain so much and i miss it bfhjvdknbhdfvc
anyway!!! i’ll be excited to heart about your story 💘💖💝💓💞💕 i’m gonna light up a candle, open photoshop and cry about the anniversary set that i still haven’t started bvdfhjcs

STUDYBLR INTRODUCTION!
Well, hello everyone! Nice to meet you ;D I created these blog months ago, but by different reasons I couldn’t keep going on with it :’( but now that I’m a college freshman (yay!!!! <333), and I have (”have”) more time, I decided to start fresh, and make an image change and all! So, let’s begin, shall we? 7u7
ABOUT ME:
I’m Gina, but you can also call me Ginny or Gigi.
I’m from Mexico.
I’m 18 years old (I still believe I have 5, tho).
INTP-T <3
Proud Ravenclaw <3
I can speak, read, and understand Spanish, English, and understand a little bit of French.
I’m currently studying International Business.
I love to use emoji, what can I say? XD
CURRENT SUBJECTS:
Management
Accounting
Statistics
Introduction to law
Business fundamentals
INTERESTS:
I really like to read <3 My favourite book right now is The School for Good and Evil, the saga it’s... AWESOME!!!! <33333 I really recommend it.
Writing stuff. Although I usually write little paragraphs than an actual long story, I really like to investigate, and to create things. 
Listening to music, being my favourite genres indie, rock, kpop, and folk <3 I’m going to try to publish a song recommendation every day, because I really need to share good music with you :’3
Create graphics and more in Photoshop. 
Watch series (although I suck at finishing them xD), videos (more fandom related, and gameplays than anything else), and movies.
F-A-N-G-I-R-L, like, really, fangirling should be a subject, or even a job <3
WHY I’M DOING THIS? XD
Well, this is a community that I discovered on December 2016, and since then I’m IN LOVE with it <333 I think that it has really useful tips, and everytime I see a studyblr post I get inspired to work on my stuff xD also, although there are a lot of accounts on this community, and many incredible posts, I have notice that they’re more adressed to US students, or for other countries with similar systems, while here in Mexico we manage a different scholar system. So, with that, I decided to open my own blog, and not only post my notes or things like that, but I also want to help everyone who has an education system like mine :3
CURRENT GOALS:
Well, I’m not an organized person, so I hope to fix that with this.
Keep learning French, and start learning Korean, Japanese, German, Thai, and Russian.
To have a grade higher than 95 (I think that converted to grade letters it would be an A) to enter the Talented Students Program in my college.
To have excellent grades, so I can apply to a Double Degree with CityU of Seattle.
Excellent grades = going in an academic exchange for 6 months to Canada or France.
Study, and prepare myself so I can win a scholarship to study my entire career in a college in Japan <3 for this point, if anyone knows or has a studyblr blog related to Physics, Math, Chemistry and/or Biology that you could recommend me, I would be very grateful <3333 I know my career doesn’t have sense with those subjects, but I may choose another career to study there, and Japan also asks me that :’v
Yes, my goals... are big XD but I think I can achieve them if I put a lot of effort to them c’:
BLOGS THAT I LOVE/INSPIRED ME:
Well, I guess I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for @studyign <3 I met this community through her, so thank you so much <3333 also, what would it be of me without @emmastudies @elkstudies @studywithinspo @studyquill @athenastudying @oikawanotes @studyblr @chrissiestudies @sherlockian-studies? Guys, you are the best of the best, and although you don’t know me, you have helped me through a lot <333333 Thank you so much for everything :’3
Welp, this is a REALLY long intro XD Now you know that I love to write, write, and write! \:v/ I hope we get to meet more, and thank you for reading this <3 I love you, and please be sassy happy :*

hey, you said you major in graphic design...? do you like it? what do you do in it? also did you submit a portfolio to get it, and do you tips? THANKS :D
hi! i actually haven’t started any GD classes yet! i go to MassArt and our freshman year is called foundation year (which is like exploratory at voc-tech schools like i also went to) where we take basic art classes to get every1 on the same page/for ppl who dont know what they want yet. for a majority of art programs you will need to submit a portfolio of your work, there’ll likely be a required number of traditional drawings and then art pertaining to the field you want to go into. it differs for every school/program.
even though i havent start classes yet for GD, i can already say i love it. the department is super helpful and nice. i know a few ppl who have graduated from it and they all loved it. some tips from what i’ve experienced:
ok this got super long so i put it under a read more. 
 art school is way harder than u think. i went in from a media-related shop in high school with a lot of prior knowledge to programs and techniques and basic art skills. in some classes i was advanced and flew thru the work. in other classes i struggled and didnt know jack shit. i worked in front of a computer in adobe programs for 4 years i dont know how to mix plaster. i failed 1 class and dropped another. i failed form study which is pretty much just 3d sculptures and stuff. there’s gonna be ppl that are way better than you at stuff, and you cant get discouraged by it. especially in gd, where u use a little bit of everything. just keep trying to make u the best u can be.
art stuff is fucking expensive. my tip for this is save up and scour for coupons. blick is simultaneously the best and worst place in the world for artists bc: it has everything (like 98% of the time) u would ever need but ur not walking out without spending at least $80. they have sales and stuff constantly and they’re rewards program is bomb but art supplies are just generaly fucking expensive. the class i dropped was a painting elective 1st semester, the prof told us we weren’t allowed to buy the store brand paint we had to get a specific brand and we needed like 20 colors. the paints were like $15 each. thats $300 for paints that i will only use for that specific class and probably never touch. it literally wasnt worth it.(i hate painting) my orientation group leader literally told us to just steal pens and pencils where there arent cameras…shit’s rough
graphic design is hella complicated, it isnt just fuckin around in photoshop. some upperclassmen said that we might not even be allowed to use a computer our first year in the major. (that got me lil nervous ngl). there’s a lot of traditional art/different medias involved like drawing, painting (ugh), and 3d work (uGH), and photography. again, i havent even started and GD classes so i cant really say what its like bc its different for everyone and the field is so big that there’s tons of different things you can hone in on. from what it looks like to me is there’s a little bit of everything.
x-acto knives are ur best friends. this is dead serious you literally need them for e v e r y t h i n g. and then u get like, addicted to using them for trivial things like opening a bag of chips or cutting strings off clothes
this may not have been the most organized thing in the world but i hope it helped a bit. feel free to ask me about GD and what im doing once classes start again/after the 1st semester. or even just ask me about art school in general! i literally fucking love it and i love talking about it so humor me. i move back in sept 3 and im super excited :)
