#if anything happens to my baby i will kill everyone and then myself

[wifihunters]

so due to steam sales i finally played subnautica!!

which, is a big deal since not only do i have severe thalassophobia i have like. the kind that makes me pass out at the sight of deep water. keeled over in an aquarium tunnel involuntarily. very annoying, given a lifelong fascination with the ocean/living in a location surrounded by water, so me and the ocean has just been 2+ decades of bashing myself against my body's random kill switch.

but i made it down to blood kelp/lost river so far! streamed it for my friends while playing full screen with the lights off for maximal effect (because by god i was going to either fight through it or faint trying and either way it would be funny for everyone else)

creatures dont scare me nearly as much as the vertigo of deep water, which is funny, since i have never been attacked by a leviathan, but i have gotten trapped in multiple trenches/cliffs at night where i would have rathered a reaper come try to merc me. also met a ghost leviathan before one of them.

plus, apparently i put my baby base in The location without knowing

but so far im super proud to have tackled something ive been wanting to attempt for a long time! turns out its a very fun game even though it happens to be a nuke directly to my psyche's achilles heel. its held my hand to naturally transition from "i REFUSE to exit the lifepod from the bottom at night" to "fuck this stupid slow sub im getting out and swimming home from 900m deep with nothing but the light of my thermal knife because i dont have battery for anything else"

My Rook, Riya Mercar, female elf shadow dragon rouge.

A few of my headcannons now.

Riya got the name Rook because she has a tendency to climb, as well as a general affection for birds. More often than not one of the highest places that she could get to was the Rookery, and she'd sometimes sleep up with the birds. (You can't tell me that Tevinter doesn't have people using birds to deliver messages like Leliana. They're too edgy to not to)

The tendency to climb continues. You know the one hidden place in the lighthouse at the top? Yeah she found that before she found the passage leading to it. She keeps disappearing up to there to catch a breath. It's her safe place.

She could go higher if she wanted too, but she knows that if anyone throws to climb up to follow her they would likely fall and hurt themselves so she doesn't. (Except for Lucanis. the little assassin boy would be fine)

She keeps giving the companions heart attacks because she can and will climb a sheer wall and jump from higher than safe. Some of those gaps that we as players can't jump, or those ledges that are just a hair too high? Yeah she can deal with them no problem. I feel like I'm understating this, she runs around rafters and roofs for fun.

The general affection for birds is pretty notable. If the inquisition had continued (it didn't on my save) and if Riya had been a little older and less involved with the shadow dragons, chances are she would have wound up over in the Inquisition's Rookery as one of Lelliana's people.

She can legitimately talk to the birds, I feel the need to emphasize.

The birds gossip and if she is nice to one literally every single bird in the area will hear about it in a day.

She keeps having birds fly up to her and steal her food or flock around her feet asking for hand outs.

It's borderline magic but every mage in the party has checked and there is nothing there.

Speaking of birds, Assan. Literally in love. This woman is his mother.

Assan keeps sneaking off to find Riya and making Davrin panic because the feathered baby wants to cuddle with his mom.

(I would like to say after the vault bit of Davrin's quest. You know the one with the skeletons, during that quest I was, in real life, yelling "NO MY BABY" when Assan dive bombed the Gloom Howler, because I thought he'd be hurt.)

Davrin and Riya have a joint custody agreement long before they start dating.

After Davrin and Riya get together, the couple finds themselves being pillows for Assan if they try and sleep in the same bed because the boy just wants to cuddle with his mom and dad.

Assan is very good at getting his parents to lay the fuck down and sleep because if one ends up sleeping then he'll go get the other and drag them into the room to get them to lay down and cuddle and be his pillow.

And if they both won't sleep he still drags one of them over and tackles them onto the bed and lays on top until they fall asleep.

Bonus!

The reason her hair is short is she got sick of it being caught on objects or intentionally grabbed and shaved it off into a boy's cut, and it's only recently that she's grown it back out

She has a feather collection. She had at least one from the most common kinds of birds. If she ever went to an event that needed dressing up, no one would be able to stop her from putting them in her hair.

The first night was rough. Lot of up and downs! Very emotional!

"Billy wasn't sure what the creature ransacking his train car was.” Alternatively, Billy feeds a stray and ends up with a roommate.

WC: 1215

Serendipity (n): the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.

Billy wasn't sure what the creature ransacking his train car was. Granted, the train car wasn't in the most hidden place ever, but he had made sure to ward it against most creatures. The ward would have made one unable to see the train, and if they somehow saw it anyways, they would have been turned around. He usually was pinged if anything passed his wards, which was why he was so blindsided to see something moving around in his train car. It seemed that this one had slipped through his protections. 

The creature was strange and almost hard to look at directly. Its blinding white hair moved independent from the wind and twined around its long, pointed, mint colored ears. It was also small, small enough that Billy thought it could comfortably fit into his cupped hands, and wearing some sort of skin tight suit, black with a stripe of silver along its torso. Or what appeared to be its torso, Billy couldn't really tell when its lower body faded into a long tail.

From his perspective, it seemed to be rummaging through where he usually hides his food, showing slivers of its white paws. Did it pass through the barriers he set because it was hungry? 

Billy approached the creature quietly, making sure not to get too close, he wouldn't want to startle it. His efforts were in vain though as the creature snapped its head towards him. It's glowing eyes like headlights, as if staring into Billy’s soul. The green in its eyes swirling hypnotically as the creature bristled at his presence. 

Billy watched, amused but vigilant, as the creature puffed up like a cat. Even going so far as to swat a couple times in his direction. So far, it was quite harmless, but the buzzing in the back of his head that he usually equated to Solomon told him to be careful.

Billy slowly dropped to his knees, mindful of the creature's reaction, and shifted his bag to his front. He shuffled through his bag and brought out the small piece of jerky he was saving for later, sliding it slowly towards the creature.

The creature tilted its head, staring at the jerky suspiciously before taking a few steps to paw at it. It apparently passed its test as it devoured the jerky surprisingly fast for its small size. While it seemed to be starving, thankfully it didn't reflect onto its body. It wasn't gaunt or thin, but actually quite plump. Perhaps it just didn't eat for a day or two? 

Billy took a small step forward, then a few more when he realized the creature was focused on eating. “So,” He began softly, the creature startling as if it was just realizing he was so close. “What are you doing here, little guy?”

It stared at him silently before once again tilting its head. It was cute, Billy realized. The chubby cheeks and button nose paired with big, shiny eyes made it endearing to look at. His expression melted slightly as he took a closer look at the creature.

The creature's ear flicked as it padded up to him, paws on Billy’s knees. It let out an unintelligible sound, layered and harsh to Billy's ear, yet somehow melodious. Billy blinked, not expecting that noise. The creature looked at him almost expectantly, eyes shining brightly.

Billy hesitantly brought his knuckles closer to the creature, feeling its cold nose as it sniffed him. It was clearly unimpressed and trilled for more food. Billy chuckled under his breath as he brought another piece of jerky to the needy creature. It gobbled it up swiftly, looking up at him and once again begging for more, its eyes almost sparkling.

Billy folded under the cuteness overload and retrieved a sandwich from his bag, splitting it in half. He was worried that it would eat more than it could handle if he kept feeding it. He knew very well what that felt like.

The creature blinked at him, once, twice, before giving him a small, pleasant trill and headbutted his fingers. Billy cautiously set his hand over its silky hair? Fur? All he knew was that it felt divine, though not in the godly way. 

“What are you?” Billy asked as he wove his fingers through its hair, genuinely curious on what species the creature was. He had inputted a lot of creatures in his ward but he had no clue what this one was. The tingling at the back of his head spoke otherwise, Solomon knowing very well what it was. He could transform and ask Solomon, since he couldn't really speak to him unless he was Captain Marvel, but that would just scare the creature.

It gave him a look before resuming its lunch, finishing it in record time. Apparently, it deigned him worthy of its presence on his lap as it kneaded his legs then curled up onto them. The purring surprised him, pausing when the creature gave him an impatient look when he halted his ministrations on its hair.

He resumed, of course. Why wouldn't he? It was a nice reprieve from fighting villains as Captain Marvel and watching out for himself when he was on the streets. It was just a quiet moment between him and the strange creature that broke into his home. 

…He hadn't realized how lonely he was before this. 

He had friends, of course. Freddy, Tawky Tawny, and the Justice League. But… this just wasn't the same. As good as a friend Freddy was, he doubted that he would be willing to just sit and enjoy each other's company silently. Freddy was a huge superhero fan and couldn't help but talk about them in excitement. Not to mention his analyses on Billy’s techniques as Captain Marvel.

The Justice League wasn't any better. They had a professional relationship, thinking of him more as a coworker than a friend. The times he tried to deepen their friendship by inviting them out, he was unfortunately turned down. It seemed that they got along better when they were in battle than not.

Billy usually went to Tawky Tawny for advice, but Tawky Tawny never turned down the opportunity to just spend time in the other’s company. Unfortunately, those times were far and few between, usually because Tawky Tawny was traveling or busy with something else. 

With this creature— he’d have to name it eventually, Billy thought absently—all that was expected of him was companionship, nothing more.

Billy felt a cool paw pat his face, the creature looking up at him concerned. His eyes widened before he let out a huff, ruffling its hair. The creature let out a disgruntled chuff and phased through his hands then batted at them, settling down once more on his lap once it was done. 

It hadn't been with him long, all he had done was give it some food, and it was already trying to comfort him. Admittedly, it wasn't the best comfort, it stopped once he focused on it, but it wasn't something he expected from a creature he met not an hour ago.

Billy smiled, eyes soft. Perhaps it could stay, if only for a while.

Whipped this up in a couple hours while trying to get out of my funk 

Thanks for reading!!

STRINGBEAN!! ❤️💫✨

[ ID: A digital illustration of Luz Noceda and her palisman Stringbean from The Owl House. Luz is to the bottom right, smiling, while she floats with one hand pointed up towards the left and the other at her side. She is in her Halloween costume as seen in For the Future, with an added patch of the bi flag sewn on near her green waist bag. Her one hand that is up is right below Stringbean’s tail, who is to the top left of image. They are also floating, smiling and looking at Luz. The background is a space-like design with scribbled on stars in the corners. End ID. ]

Sooo... my previous post about Dazzle absolutely blew up, so I've come back to offer my slight redesign of the precious baby. I feel like her theme is flowers and while I was tempted to just add more in general, I figured I'd just stick with a sunflower (that and it looks very similar to Sunrise's "symbol" so she's copying her papa)!

While there are some notes on the pictures, my ramblings and reasons for the changes/additions will be under the cut :)

General Notes:

Made her fur and hair less saturated and more red-ish.

Made the horns a slightly lighter color.

Gave her more freckles and added the freckles to her legs, arms, and tail.

Made her eyes less pea green and more emerald green.

Casual outfit:

I know the original design had stitches on the legs of hearts and a sun, but I think she'd want patches from the rest of her "family."

The only ones who don't have ones are Sun, Jack, and Neptor. This is mainly because Sun and Jack have friendship bracelets, and Neptor is "too shy" to give her a patch.

I added Monty because I feel like Monty would've met Dazzle at some point- due to them dating Earth, hence the added patch!

I might go back and tweak the patch designs/give her the stitches, but for now, I'm happy with the design!

Work outfit:

So it wasn't until I was finishing up the coloring did I realize that the purple dress might be her "uniform". ^^"

I considered adding details from that outfit to my design, but I really liked the idea of Dazzle wearing her family's clothes as her uniform!

With that being said, She modified a shirt from Lunar, got a spare bow from Earth, and managed to combine Sun and Moon's pants into one!

Dazzle doesn't give me the vibe of someone who would wear ribbons or cuffs with their bells (not counting the bows on her head) and instead would like the softness of fur- hence the fur cuffs.

I do think she'd like to gallop/skip, so the bells are on the outside of her ankles rather than the front like Sun/Moon/Lunar.

*slams door open* ALRIGHT I KNOW IM LATE BUT Y’ALL BETTER HAVE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK BY NOW OR ELSE IM TOSSING Y’ALL IN THE ABYSS

This has honestly been in my drafts for weeks and I’ve been fighting to finish it. I gotta get this out now before another hyperfixation takes over (spoiler alert: it already has)

Before I do I would like to call out publicly three star students, because one I appreciate them and two I just really want them to see my shit since I feel appreciated. @carpe-yeet-em @ceci-seesaw and @bogos-bint3d thank y’all for being Star students

Quick warning: This WILL contain spoilers for the series. It’s nothing super major or plot twisty-The series is in its very early stages so it’s nothing that you wouldn’t find out by you know, reading the thing wink wink nudge nudge. However I would suggest reading it first so you at least have an understanding of it

OKAY THOUGHTS

Holy shit this series is so good. I’m not joking I’m looking forward so much for this series and how everything plays out, because I can tell this is going to be a really intriguing story and I’m excited for it. I would say the thing I’m most excited to see is the relationship between Shen Yuhua and Chu Tian. They’re just, they’re so sweet I really can’t wait to see how their relationship grows.

Okay I’m not really good with expressing my thoughts so let’s move on TO THE CRACK THEORY SECTION BABEY YEAAAH

Theory number uno: Tf is Chu Tian doing? I think it’s pretty easy to see, he’s trying to create an army against the Chaoyang palace. He wants revenge against Shen Yuitian and is only playing along with Shen Yuhua for now. But I think he either does really care for her or will grow to really care for her. So he’s trying to destroy the blood pact so he doesn’t have to hurt her to achieve his end means. And I bet Shen Yuhua will eventually learn to go this side

Theory b: Qiao Yu will join the group and become an older sister to Shen Yuhua. There’s really only two ways it could go down with Shen Yuhua and Qiao Yu, either rivals or sisters. I don’t really see rivals working out, cause Yuhua doesn’t really care, but for my own heart I could totally see Qiao Yu being a surrogate older sister to Shen Yuhua, which would be a great but heartbreaking parallel to her actual older sister

Theory 3 (the big one): Okay, let’s talk about the big mystery surrounding one of the characters. Not Chu Tian, not Shen Yuitian, not even Shen Yuhua.

Let’s talk about Swallowtail

First off: BEST BOY WE LOVE HES AMAZING

Now for the actual theory, Swallowtail is undoubtedly the biggest mystery in Doatf, he pretends to be a useless servant to Shen Yuhua but actively sabotages her chances of marriage, but also protects her with his life. Why? Why is he acting as such? In fact, in his introduction it is noted he was in fact a disciple but was demoted. He’s clearly skilled, why would he pretend not to be in order to be demoted?

It’s because I believe he’s working for Chu Tian, and always planned for Shen Yuhua to fall into the abyss.

What evidence do I have to back this up?

…..I did say it was a crack theory

Okay I do have A LITTLE to back it up. But it doesn’t start with Swallowtail, it actually starts with the second biggest mystery of the series, Wen Qinglan, Yuhua’s mother. We know her crimes, murder, but more important conspiracy and adultery with a demon. Why was Wen Qinglan working with a demon? I believe she was working to free Chu Tian from the abyss. Why? Because I said so >:(

Anyway obviously when Wen Qinglan died, the plot must progress and there had to be a new person to get a Shen into the abyss, and would you look at that. There’s a Shen who’s been completely shunned from her family that needs a servant.

This is why he had to sabotage Yuhua’s suitors, he couldn’t have her leaving the palace or else it would risk the whole operation. On top of that, remember how Yuhua’s older sister said that it was Swallowtail who pushed her in. Why on earth would she say that? He’s clearly devoted to her, and despite maybe Yuling pushing the blame on him, why would anyone believe that? He wasn’t even near the scene?

Unless of course, they already know he’s shady as fuck, or have evidence to show he’s shady as fuck.

I cannot stress enough how much crack this crack theory is based on. I am genuinely pulling strings and putting on tinfoil hats here.

But I’m having fun so I don’t care >:)

I do want to say just as a statement-I don’t think Shen Yuhua is some chosen hero. The abyss story is so clearly made up, and I do really think she doesn’t have strong magic. But just because she’s not strong or special in one area, doesn’t mean she can’t become something wonderful. And I just can’t wait to see what she becomes in this comic. I’m so excited for the rest

Alright the rest of my thoughts are completely scattered that’s all ya getting PEACE
