#i'm so done with typing today

[maranull]

Hi Mara!

Do you have any thoughts about how Elden Ring characters would be around pets? I had a few ideas for a one-shot fic and I was curious as to what your thoughts on such a topic would be.

Have a nice day!

Hi Bimbom! <3

I didn't but now I do. Normally headcanons are free, but from you I require payment in the form of the fic link when you write it. 🔫

I'm skipping some characters that I don't really care for or enjoy.

~

Blaidd: Very responsible owner. Trains all his pets fully, but he also treats their needs and wants at an equal level to his own, sometimes higher. He prefers shepherd dog breeds.

Yura: Likes birds. There's a small murder of crows that has taken a intense liking to him, and he always shares parts of his meal with them. But he mostly enjoys watching them from afar, caring for them fully is not his style.

Boc: He's that person that you know adores pets with a passion, but is always a bit scared and hesitant getting close. He doesn't have pets of his own, but his room is filled to the brim with various animal plushies.

D: Hates animals.

Diallos Hoslow: Tries his absolute best to seem indifferent and tough but in reality he adores them to death. He has quite the healing touch and is always on the lookout for animals in need, be they pets or wildlife.

Edgar: Begrudgingly accepted a dog in his halls when Irina was a little girl and he ended up being the main carer for it. He says he doesn't like dogs, but the dog also sleeps on his bed now, so...

Fia: Cat-person. Not very affectionate, but if a cat is around her, that cat is getting picked up and gently hugged.

Finlay: Not really an animal person, but she likes cats and has adopted hers. She only lets them decide when it's cuddle time.

General Radahn: Do I even need to say anything about this horsegirl? He's literally the horsegirl stereotype. That's it.

Gideon Ofnir: He likes owls and turtles. Owls hate him to the point of attacking him on sight. Turtles just avoid him like the plague.

Godfrey: Generally indifferent towards animals. Only likes them if they are powerful. He treats his lion decent, but only things of it like a tool of war, not a companion.

Godwyn the Golden: A pretty gentle type towards animals but often forgetful of their needs. He tries them almost like plushies and room decor. He loves them, just not that much.

Gostoc: Hurts any helpless animal he finds. He deserves the guillotine.

Gowry: Thinks pets are good food.

Hyetta: She likes animals, big dogs in particular. She doesn't have a want to own a pet herself, but will sometimes leave some food on the sidewalk for strays.

Iron Fist Alexander: He likes hamsters. Due to his size, he is extremely careful with them, and they like running rounds on his lid.

Latenna: She's politely gentle with most animals but she loves wolfs. She treats them similarly to Blaidd, as equals and often prioritizes her wolf's needs over hers.

Lunar Princess Ranni: She likes wolfs (shocker!). She acts cold and uninterested around people, but when alone with her wolfs they get all the scratches and belly rubs and treats and everything.

Malenia, Blade of Miquella: She likes cats. Their purring calms her down and gives her peace when she is feeling the Rot advancing.

Maliketh: He doesn't like animals, but Marika used to have a poodle that he ended up caring for, and he grew attached to it. He's not at all emotional and rarely pets it, but the poodle and him seem to have their own kind of understanding.

Morgott: He always loved seeing birds from the small windows in the looking outside the sewers. When he go out and earned the Omen King title, he ended up making multiple coops from any bird that passed through Leyndell.

Melina: She quietly loves every animal, but prefers to give them space and have them fend for themselves. Exceptions to that rule are Torrent and domesticated animals. Those she generally checks if they need anything, but she's not big towards petting.

Millicent: She likes frogs. She's generally pretty touchy with them, often resulting in her picking up a frog that she knows will irritate her hands despite of the fact. She likes lifting them close to her face and also does that to the few lands animals she might take interest.

Miquella the Unalloyed: He loves animals, the bigger the better. He can be pretty childish when petting them, but he also has them extremely well trained and cares for them in the best way possible.

Nepheli Loux: She loooooooves dogs of all shapes and sizes. She loves hugging them and when petting then, she often sits down to be as close to their eye level as possible.

Patches: Big fan of spiders. Doesn't really care for any other animal. Just spiders. He keeps a jar with a wolf spider on his luggage and he always takes time off his day to spent some time with her.

Radagon: Doesn't care at all. If he has to take care of a pet, he will give food and water and leave. Doesn't care.

Roderika: She loves small animals of any kind. She has a habit of rolling with the dogs and laying down next to cats while talking to them. She claims she understands them and maybe she do, cause animals tent to be more trusting towards her.

Rogier: He's quite the fan of birds and cats. He's very gentle with his affections towards them and has a lot of patience for bird watching, or waiting for a stray cat to approach him.

Rya: She likes snakes. Other animals scare her easily and she's generally skittish if they approach her.

Seluvis: Hates animals.

Thops: Adores cats and loves it when they jump on his lap when working. He friendly to other animals, but more out of politeness than actually interest.

Iji: A fan of wolves and loves the red big ones the most, since he can pet them properly with his hands. He can be rough with them, unintentionally of course, so he chooses to keep a distance from most animals.

Marika: She got a poodle out of pressure to seem aristocratic, but she doesn't care for land animals. When she was at sea, she loved dolphins and orcas.

Rennala: She adores wolfs and has no qualms of playing with them, despite her status. And while she's not a fan of cats, she has a chonky black cat that she spoils to the point of the poor animals being somewhat overweight.

Rykard: Big fan of snakes and reptilians in general. Goes above and beyond to find the absolute favourite food of every snake in his care.

5 hours. It took 5 hours for this. I am not checking spelling. I am not checking if it makes sense. Bimbom you made my brain a mush of pets, hope you're happy.

looking for someone on Tatooine

[icewindandboringhorror]

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol

[that-was-anticlimactic]

see a world so beautiful and strange (spinning off somewhere)

“Why? Why are you suppressing?”

“Because I can't tic,” Alya whispered, fingernails digging into the skin on her arm. “I know Tourette’s isn’t exactly uncommon, but it’s part of my identity as Alya Césaire. It can’t be a part of Rena Rouge, too. Someone could figure out who I am and then…”

And then she’d have to give up the coolest thing that’s ever happened to her, give up living her dreams.

[or, alya is suppresses as rena rogue in order to protect her identity, but neither ladybug nor trixx will let her hurt herself like that]

happy tourette's awareness month!!!

Snapetober #31 — Spooky

This drawing is only going to make sense to me but I could not finish Snapetober without including them so there it is.

Back in the day, before the publishing of OotP and when we had no info on him, I decided Severus would be born on the 31st of October, because being born on Halloween was cool and dark 🦇 Later I also decided he had secret twin siblings.

I first drew a vanilla version of this but I wanted it to fit today's word at least a little bit, so had to think of a way to dress them up.

By October 86 his sister should have had a baby daughter so I guess that's how they convinced him to put on a costume for a Halloweeny birthday. He definitely went for what would require the less effort*. I thought maybe it could be a tradition in the French wizarding society to pay hommage to/dress up as folklore figures for Halloween so she's dressed as Mélusine, and his brother as a lébérou, which is a sort of French werehare cursed to roam forever at night.

@superfallingstars's Snapetober list — the rest of my Snapetober

*what a coincidence, that's also how he looked like in my first fic. it was very emo.

I'm seeing hozier tonight!!!

[hidefdoritos]

I'd like to snuggle someone for an hour but also I'd like to make out with someone for an hour but also I'd like to hike with someone for an hour but also I'd like to fall asleep on someone for an hour but also I'd like to go down on someone for an hour but also I'd like to cook with someone for an hour but also I'd like to watch TV with someone for an hour but also I'd like to hear about someone's hyperfixation for an hour but most importantly I'd like to be with someone. and maybe it could be for more than an hour.

Hello! First of all, Tic is so cute I would just love to give him a hug! But also have a tiny question.. How does it feel when a tic is about to happen? I could imagine that sometimes it's hard to register before it happens, but I also know you can supress them a litte? So I'm very curious!

(U get litol Tic hug, bc I felt like it. :3)

Ok, so there is a very specific feeling/sensation, which may be hard to explain, but the closest comparison I can think of is like. the feeling you get before a yawn? but a bit more? tingly?? Most ppl compare tics to sneezes, but I think at least the feeling itself is closer to the urge to yawn. It's also more. in your body, or specifically the part of your body that want's to tic.

(I hope I'm explaining that well. I don't often take conscious notes of how these things feel lol.)

And yes, you'd be right about that. It is sometimes hard to register before it happens. Sometimes we might not even feel it at all before it happens, or it can also be just to sudden to catch.

[openphrase123]

i realize this may not be the best time to ask because of the last post you made, but how do you find the motivation to keep up with so many projects at once? the fact that you can is both inspiring and also very scary and i'm jealous. "average person writes 1 fic in their lifetime" WRONG. ficwriter openphrase123 who writes 3276453287 fics in their lifetime all at once is a statistical outlier and should not be c

oh this answer got long here's a readmore

well first of all. i have a boring dayjob that lets me marinate big ideas on the backburner. i can turn my thinking brain off for 90% of my projects at work. i've been working there for seven years, i can plot fanfiction in my head without taking a single performance hit LOL

second. um. i'm thirty in like four months. that is in NO WAY old, but i have been on this earth long enough to know when i, specifically, cannot execute or follow through an idea. i only pursue projects i know i can reasonably finish without going crazy. i just kind of. know how my brain chemistry works? i have reasonable expectations for myself?? i'm friends with my brain even if it likes to overthink or be anxious or have seizures or go down weird ocd-adjacent thought paths

third, which feeds a lot into the above point. but when you are in your teens and twenties it's going to take you some time to figure out the rhythm of how you work. i like to take a lot of mini breaks in between what i'm doing. this does not work for my girlfriend, who has ADHD and is like "if i take a break i will never recover" so she doesn't do that. brains are all different and you gotta find what works for you

fourth. well. this one might just be me. but the reason i have like 8 concurrent projects is because when i get tired of one, my brain is VERY happy to latch onto another one. no matter what i'm doing, something is getting done?? that's why i was writing 3 fics at once trying to decide which one to do next. and why i couldn't figure it out and had to leave it to a tumblr poll

and, fifth. idk. i don't write fanfiction when i don't want to? if you look at my ao3 account i haven't done it since. like. 2021? and before that the last time i wrote any fanfiction was in like 2013. of which i cannot track down that old accout but i swear it probably exists?

s.sixth??? and this one is going to sound the braggiest. and maybe it is a little bit. i'm good at this? not like. naturally. i wasn't born writing 100k fanfics. but i've been writing fiction for like. most of my life. i wrote a lot of awful stupid shit before i started writing good shit. i'm not falling asleep at the wheel or anything but after you're making art for enough time, it more easily falls into place. after doing it for so long you develop an intuition for the kinds of projects you will be sufficiently motivated for. i don't know how to describe this without sounding like a pretentious asshole. maybe i can allow myself to be for like five minutes. i've earned it

i hope that helped??? my brain kind of just. does stuff. i've trained it over the years to do stuff in the direction that makes me happy!! i wish my brain would let me go clean my bathroom instead but eh. tradeoffs?

[izzy-b-hands]

You ever have a day where you feel like you're doing everything wrong, even when you're like. just doing things you normally do. And are alone, so like the only person i could in theory upset/piss off/etc right now is me myself, and Yet the feeling persists

Yeaaaaah. That's today's vibe for me apparently lmao

[gay-jesus-probably]

it's fun when a hell plague is going around your household and you happen to be the final victim, cause like. You don't have to worry about infecting anyone else, everyone understands exactly how miserable you feel and can sympathize, and on top of that if you were taking care of them while you were still healthy, now you get that paid back in interest, because they're grateful for the care you gave and feel bad about infecting you.

The only downside is you're the last one to get sick, so you get to watch those motherfuckers recovering while you're still in the downwards spiral, they've already had all the soup in the house, and you're probably almost out of kleenex. So that's a real downside.

Anyways, I'm dying, so that's fun.

[icewindandboringhorror]

Apparently I can meet my goal of roughly 400,000 words in 6 months if I just somehow write at least 2,200 words a day ghbjh... Almost 2,500 today... huzzah...

[sisterdivinium]

Quick update, but I've finished typing Psychosis today. There's a new revision process to follow now that it's all digital and I don't know how long that will take, but I thought I'd just drop by and share the news!

[iceeericeee]

I wonder how many tags i can add on to this

[bonestrouslingbones]

nothing like reading "please dont use as base code" after two full days of using a custom theme as a base code
