Idk if I'm gonna get jumped for this but....Iiii don't know if it's really appropriate to call Vander Jinx's dad. He definitely was her guardian, with huge uncle energy for sure, but dad? Like, dad is something really personal and requires a high level of closeness, and they didn't seem to share that bond. Out of all the kids Powder seemed to be the most removed from him and share very little traits/interests with him, and after growing up we don't see Jinx care about him at all. So, idk, to call him her dad seems more like a fanservice to me rather than what can be confirmed by the show.

He's defo her dad in the au, tho, because there he would spend a lot more time with her and because of Vi's death pay more attention to her, therefore tightening their bond.

UPD: I mean, Vander isn't even a part of her hallucinations. Now, you could argue that it's too traumatic for her even to remember him as is seen in season 1 ep9, but I think it's the opposite, actually. Knowing Silco he probably yapped about Vander all the time (and he literally does this in ep5), so Jinx definitely remembers him and thinks of him to some extent. But why then his hallucination appeared only once? Well, I think it only happened because Jinx was under extreme pressure already, plus she recently had a shimmer operation, which could've worsened her mental state, hence Vander appearing as a hallucination. Again, this is just how I see it, I may be wrong, but I do think this view of their relationship is rational enough.

Nothing Wrong About It

Here’s a (cheesy) mellodramattic comic I made a couple weeks ago that I’m really proud of. I apologize for the bad coloring; finding the perfect colors is really hard when you’re doing traditional art with limited options for colors, so you end up having to work with what you have. Which is why Mello looks like he got spray-tanned. (I put my soul into trying to make him not look orange with the colors I had, since I headcanon him with a more tan complexion, so please don’t attack me lol)

I hope this resonates with a lot of you! And I’ll be submitting this for the free day prompt for @mattmelloweek.

wildflower by billie eilish except it’s post s3/4 billy feeling guilty and undeserving of steve, and almost bad for nancy? a weird sense of guilt because when he first moved to hawkins he would watch them when he thought no one was looking, lonely and yearning. wanted steve to touch him like that, treat him like that, love him like he loved her. but anytime he was caught, he panicked and spewed hate. anger was safe, anger protected him. a gay teen from california in hawkins? he didn’t have anything else to resort to. but now he’s too tired to be angry at the world and too in love with steve to ever feel how he did before nearly dying. but he never quite made amends with nancy. nancy, who he wonders if steve is thinking about every time he kisses billy. who he’s been too afraid to approach and talk to. who he feels hates him, and knows he doesn’t deserve steve. he knows she broke his heart, but he also knows steve pictured a life, a family with this woman. he doesn’t know if he can give steve that. billy wonders if he thinks about nancy more than steve does, too scared to ask. scared all his crazy thoughts will be confirmed. he knows she’s with jonathan, but he also knows that she was his first true love. she’s with jonathan, but he swears he feels her eyes on them whenever steve hugs, touches, kisses him. swears she’s giving them the same almost sad, wanting look he had to fight when he used to look at them.

I wish I could relate to Navidson but I can’t which makes me angry so I get pissed off at him instead.

v random rant ab next gen fics under the cut bc i wanted to get this out but also it’s just. very ridiculous and don’t want to subject unsuspecting people to it lol

i’m reading next gen fic and realising what it is that bothers me so much ab most of it. and just, many fics in general.

it’s the sheer thoughtlessness in the characterisation. i’m reading this potter kids at hogwarts thing and james is a horrific bully who turns on al as soon as he goes into slytherin. the rest of the weasley family is no better. rose is like hermione in first year but infinitely worse, with fanon!ron’s hatred of anything green and silver. all the kids are just. weird.

and it doesn’t make any sense???? like, on one hand you write harry and ginny as good, loving parents. if you take into account all the other adults, as well as the effects of the war and the collective history and experiences they all have, it stands to obvious reason that the kids would be raised differently. would have certain quirks. but won’t necessarily be the same archetypes ykno?

like, idk. it just falls into lazy characterisation for me, and that’s not a bad thing. it’s just so. annoying. bc these are literal blank slates and u can make things SO fun but just. don’t.

a lot of marauder era characterisation goes this way too. but i think i get so annoyed by the next gen stuff is bc i genuinely love all those little shits sm for characters who are essentially nonexistent. it is once again the same issue of me having extremely niche headcanons and getting pissy when everyone else doesn’t think so lol

[tackykachowch]

By the way, did we ever talk about how stupid it is that they made Silco the reason Felicia died? I don't mean that he killed her personally, but that he jumpstarted violence on a peaceful protest. Because that's sooo who Silco is, right? A character who makes impulsive and poorly thought out decisions, right? A character who goes into a fight headstrong without carefully planning his moves and strategy and just YOLO-ing it, right? Right?? ......sigh

And don't even THINK about giving me the whole "wElL hE cHaNgEd SiNcE tHeN dUh" crap. Even s2 is smart enough to show us him writing something in a notebook in a flashback, which implies that he was the brains behind the Lanes' creation/revolution as a whole. And if he was he would never sabotage his own plans with something so stupid as throwing a single molotov at enforcers. Literally who does that???? Silco we know would probably organize an attack under the guise of a peaceful protest, but not just. Straight-up ruining just a regular peaceful protest. That's stupid. And Silco is the last character in arcane that would do something stupid. Literally the whole plot of season 1 relies on him being intelligent and sneaky with his plans are you kidding me.

soooooo in honor of your recently discovered passion for [REDACTED], you too get a tiny bit of problematic smut :3

~

Hector stood rigid. Every muscle clenched. Not a twitch. He had to, as nails that could shred through metal glided down, down, down his shoulders and his arms, with the lightness of a feather. How could a touch so gentle come from the Lord of the depths of Hell, and how could it leave him lightheaded, his limbs trembling in a concoction of icy fear and sizzling need?

His hazy mind was succumbing to familiarity. He had to stay resilient.

The claws raked all over his skin, slow, tantalizing. One of them, like the blade of a knife, traced his sternum, cutting through his curls. Hector gasped, dizzy at the realization that tendons and bone were no match for Lord Dracula, and he could carve his heart out of his chest, where he to doubt that it no longer belonged to him.

A shudder, and the tip pressed deeper into Hector’s diaphragm.

He sucked in a harsh breath. The collar seized his throat. The claw stung in a threat.

There was no escape for him, from the sensation, crushing and perversely enticing, of being meat, ripe for feasting on, small and weak and so utterly fragile in the hands and fangs of a monster.

Hector swallowed through the collar. No, no, he was not mere livestock to the slaughter, dumb and placid and resigned to its fate. He had a mind, that he whetted to fight and survive: it was up to him to stay sharp when his supple body could not.

He could not bear it. Hector pulled his arms down: like a lever, his head reclined back, his throat stretched to the limit, and his chest puffed out in a bold display. Take my heart, then, if you’re so eager to hold it. What an alluring lie it made for; and Lord Dracula succumbed to it, because Hector’s body may have been weak, but his Lord’s soul was even more so, for him; he delved his tongue in the exposed crevice between jaw and collar, cool against his sweating skin, and oh, shameful groans were wrung out of him – in his daze, Hector was relieved that the collar did not allow him to be loud.

I don't know how to write this without it being horribly obvious who I'm writing about

[tacagen]

eobard thawne is probably extra normal about the fact both him and iris have written barry's biographies bc i know he was really normal even about iris' one since oh you know. his very first appearance as a fan.

And here's the new PSO inspired magic circle I wrote! (that's tailored to specifics that I'm not getting into) As well as the traditional Algolian seal (I've broken down a bit of it here) and the first magic circle I built

I'M GETTING MUCH QUICKER AT THIS!

I drew every symbol instead this time, I find it to be the one thing easier to draw on tablet than paper, I think I'll go back to the other method next time tho it looks neater.

Ok into a bit on how its wrote/the magic building for those curious :3

So I went over a bit on it yesterday but here's the full circle that there was no way I was fitting in that tiny space.

Magic Circles are now the thing I study when I'm having my after work drink at the bar ^^;

The 3 outer circles (I keep referring to as Muut Ditts Poumn circles) while they all hold the main energies, they're all lions :3 The alchemy symbols for essence pokes out of them and toward the middle text. Leo as well as the 2 Divine beings, each associated with the Sun and the Moon. In the outer ring, where the Photon Blasts would be listed, I have other Gods that represent different phases of the Sun and the Moon, Moon Gods being separated by the female end of the ankh, as the moon is of feminine mother energy against the masculine father energy of Leo's ruler, the Sun. Sun gods border the rising & moon signs of the initiator. I probably put a bit more time into the order of the names in the ring, but PSO isn't actually conjuring magic outside our hearts and is allowed to be whatever about that.

I'd also only use the Ankh with Egyptian Gods as I only work with them aside from "celestial bodies". There is more detail on the significance of the ankh in the first post. The reason its positioned sideways is I learned horizontal lines can be a negative aspect, where as vertical lines are always positive. I still have a horizontal line in this, but with it being only one, the numerology plays in to it enough, I also didn't HAVE to add it but felt it necessary. The magic numbers are 1 and 7.

The Divine are placed in their directions in accordance to the element. Sun to the South for Fire, Moon to the West for Water. Leo is placed east due to the affinitive candle color. East represents air which is the main element of the target.

The alchemical symbols I used aren't all available text symbols, but here's what's there. (I've used so many reference books for these and they don't match each other either it just is what it is I guess)

Top Circle: (Symbols unavailable) Triangle: ♀ Planet - Venus | Metals - ♀ Copper, Brass | Zodiacs - Libra, Taurus Sides: Symbols for crystal and lapis lazuli (Divine specific) Bottom Circle: (Symbols unavailable) Triangle: ♂ Planet - Mars | Metal - ♂ Iron, Brass | Zodiacs - Aries, Scorpio Sides: ☾ Moon | Metal - ☾ Silver | Zodiac - Cancer Steel - Saturn | Metals - ♄ Lead, ♂ Iron, Steel | Zodiacs - Capricorn, Aquarius (steel is Divine specific) Right Circle: (symbols unavailable) Sides: Planet - Sun | Metals - ⊙ Gold, Brass | Zodiac - Leo

I was also able to place the alchemy symbols a bit neater this time because I didn't have odd numbers of them like in the Algolian Seal spell. The circles with the points in the outer circles represent wax, there is also a wick symbol in each of them as well as different things to dress the candles with such as oil, herbs, and fumes.

Sorry its not quite as in depth as the Algolian Seal inspired one, since its more religious sided I figured I'd skip the deeper details. Hope it was a fun read and it helps if u wanna build magic circles one day or something :3

Unprompted Halloween asks || No longer accepting.

@muses-inn sent:

[📓]  "Trick or Treat", are the words Rick is being greeted with as he opens the door. They're delivered in a monotonous, uninterested tone. The kid in question is short, blue-haired with brown cat ears that are slightly folded sideways, and he's wearing a science coat. It looks like a wildly thrown-together costume, but it is in fact the kid's normal attire.

'I will go Trick or Treating so you stop nagging me, but I will NOT wear any silly costumes!' Leon proclaimed several hours earlier to Cloud. And that's how the humanoid-feline alien has wound up where he is now. Also, taking on the challenge that he would collect more candies than Precis, who' also up and around collecting candies elsewhere.

So, he's stretching out the wooly pumpkin bag, with this undoubtedly annoyed expression all over his face. And repeats the words again, this time with a more demanding tone. Just in case that old geezer didn't hear him before. "Trick or Treat!"

// Leon D.S. Gehste for Rick? Fashionably late as always, but I thought 'hey why not giving this a shot'

Finding out that the planet he has travelled to celebrated Halloween wasn't in Rick's plans. He's here to do some harvesting, nothing complicated or dangerous, but still time-consuming. The flowers he needs bloom briefly at specific hours throughout the local night and day, which means that he has to wait each time for it to collect their pollen.

He has figured out that, since they'll be stuck there for a few days, he could as well get started on synthesizing the compound he's working on, while Morty keeps an eye on the flowers. It's a good idea...if not for the fact that he hasn't foreseen being interrupted by trick-or-treaters.

With Morty out, when someone starts to insistently knock at the door, Rick is forced to stop what he's doing to go and see who it is. With the intention of getting rid of them as quickly as possible, naturally.

The sight of some kid in what he assumes is a cheap costume is definitely not a surprise. He can't tell who the boy is supposed to be dressed as, and he couldn't care less. These people have animal traits and magic. Who knows what sort of medias they consume.

What catches his attention is the teen's tone, flat and devoid of emotions. What the fuck is wrong with this brat? He sounds like some old guy with depression.

"I-I heard you the first time," he snaps back, leaning against the doorjamb, arms crossed over his chest. "B-But more than treats, you should get your amigdala checked out. 'C-Cause, geez, there's obviously something wrong with your brain."

He taps his own temple with a snort, then reaches out as to close the door.

"I-I don't have any fuckin' candy anyway. N-Now piss off, I-I have some very unstable chemicals I-I need to keep an eye on. U-Unless you want us all to blow up."
