Cicada days test

Context: This and ‘red flags fade to white (give up)’ are the same actually. Basically the usual ‘time travel to season one’ AU with only Jon going back and Jon does. Nothing. He doesn’t do a damn thing :)

It was a bit funny, truth be told, how he did not expect this intervention.

He had maybe three interventions in as many years, was constantly being scrutinized for any perceived misstep, and his change in how he ran the archives was practically overnight. Even with his carefully laid out plan. It should not have been surprising, that the three of them all but cornered him in his office to lay out all the ways he was fucking everything up. Again.

“You’ve not been yourself,” Sasha – the real Sasha, he can hardly believe it – says amicably.

“We’re just concerned is all,” Martin says. It is a familiar phrase said in a familiar cadence.

Tim says nothing, but the look on his face is nothing but genuine compassion.

For a moment Jon contemplates thinking about everything he had put under lock and key from the moment he realized his situation. He thinks about the act of having a discussion, not any specific one, with the three of them. Then he thinks about Elias. Elias thinking him incompetent, nothing else. With those thoughts carefully examined, he draws up his walls.

“Is this supposed change affecting your jobs?” He asks, as void of emotions as possible.

They exchange what he expects are looks of displeasure. He is purposefully not looking at them.

“Not… really…” Tim says. “I mean, to be honest, it’s been less stressful… for us,” he admits, the implication that it has only been less stressful for them because it has been more stressful for Jon.

While not an untrue or true examination of the situation, it still rankles something in Jon. He purposefully ignores that reaction, even as he lets is color his next words.

“I do not see the issue then,” Jon says flatly. “If there are any issues regarding how I am professionally, please let Elias or HR know. Otherwise, I think you three should go back to whatever you were working on.” He is still not looking at them, nor whatever reactions they may have to his words. He can guess, however, that they are all some form of disgust and annoyance.

After a moment, Jon can hear them start to leave. It is only then, when they have turned their backs, that he looks at them. It is only then that he allows one single stupid choice.

“Martin, wait,” he says evenly, and they all stop to look at him. Of course. He only addresses Martin, though. “I appreciate your organizational efforts on that one section of statements. Excellent work.” He does not smile or even make eye contact and he does not receive one in return. “That is all.”

Martin, in fact, looks as though he’s fighting off a grimace of irritation. Its not the first time Jon had made that same stupid choice. To complement Martin. He’s allowed to try and make amends over all the awful things he’d said and done. Maybe this was one too many, if it was starting to grate on Martin. He resolves to stop but knows he won’t.

He never did have a good grasp of moderation.

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

i'm kind of late to this but i just finished reading the scholomance trilogy by naomi novik and i feel like it is such an underrated urban fantasy?? taking the chosen one trope and turning it on its head with a fmc who has been prophesied to bring death and destruction, who is imbued with terrible power, but cannot even properly use said power to solve any of her obstacles because it would obliterate them and her soul. it takes a tired trope and the idea of an 'overpowered mary sue' and throws it back in your face by showing how all the power and destiny in the world is useless against a system filled with corruption that has burdened you with an easy way out (evil/destructive magic) that you can't take so now you have to work twice as hard as everyone else just to do simple, constructive spells instead of flicking your wrist and being done with it.

Found a cool color palette. Might finish it later. (Probably not.)

I GAVE UP 🎉(kind of)

Yuu Shi Tapis Rouge/Luxe Couture

SO. The armature was a bust. Learning how to make one would take a shit ton of time and i just- would prefer to do that on my own terms without the looming feeling of- well, wanting to post her design all the time given its been finished for a WHILE.

To make up for it though, i made fake homescreen screenshots ig JFNDJDJD theyre not the best, but fuck it i think i replicated the twst style rather well.

Her outfit is based more around the same line Vil had, and I took a lot of inspiration from Gucci (pinterest, my saving grace yet again)

More under the cut! V

A vERY quick thing i made of another potential sprite, i'd imagine there'd be a toggle to take off the shawl. Also I did one of Yuu Shi in her more masc disguise! Yes. We keep the dress. 👏

After this I don't particularly have any new art planned for a second, I want to shift my focus to finishing wips/projects and resuming progress on TCOAV. So- hey! If you've yet to read and are interested, now may be a good time to start with chapter 6 on the way.

I've blabbed enough for today IFNFDNID

Got some mixed feelings about the Striker is Satan’s son theory circulating around rn LMAO

Also the fact this has all started from a single silhouette of this man is very funny

[hinamie]

not a question but i'm losing my mind a little bit over airbender gojo.......in lok we learn that airbenders can unlock the ability to fly by severing all earthly tethers.....and what happened to gojo's tether? his one and only???? can he fly because he killed suguru? i'm not okay

that would be a good theory!!! if gojo was an airbender :3

jjk atla!au with @philosophiums

one of my favorite hc about near is that he just drops fun facts literally out of nowhere and keeps doing whatever he was doing after

near, building a card tower

mello, meters away doing reports

near, unprompted: did you know bees communicate by dancing

mello: what?

near, keeps building the tower in complete silence

mello: what?!

and after a while mello just knows

near, assembling a hot wheels highway: it's almost impossible for opossums to get rabies

mello: good for them

but sometimes is just

near, under a ten storey lego building: praying mantis can change colors to adapt to their environment

mello: wait. like chameleons?

near, already on the eleventh floor, completely silent

mello, side-eyeing rester who just sighs and googles it
