it's hard loving yourself

[marginofthought]

Season 4 Sam giving birth in the panic room👀👀👀

I don't know what happened here:

" The survival rate of a baby born at 32 weeks was 95%. 

Sam knew this. 

Still he hadn’t actually expected to birth a living, squirming baby. 

Sam’s throat had already been screamed raw from the detox but when the withdrawal had induced his labor he found out he could scream some more. 

His body tried to adjust rapidly but it was no match to the way the fetus wanted to leave him just as the last of the demon blood dissipated from his veins, making him even weaker.

Sam was pretty sure he was stone cold sober by the time his own screams were replaced by wailing. 

He stared dumbstruck for a few long moments, looking down at the naked, squishy and screaming thing that was laying on the cot between his legs. 

It stared up at Sam and he flinched back instinctively, expecting black or even worse, yellow eyes looking up at him. 

He couldn’t comprehend that they weren’t. 

To be honest, he couldn’t understand anything that was going on right now. 

This hadn’t actually happened, it couldn’t have. He hadn’t ever really acknowledged that he was pregnant, much less told Dean about it, no way his brother would have believed it had been his baby.

The green eyes staring up at him, twisted up in an unhappy expression, were proof enough though.

Dumbly the only thought currently in Sam’s brain was that he was glad that he had been uncuffed, he was sure he couldn’t have gotten his pants off otherwise. 

The baby was wrinkly and covered with blood and gunk, blood was soaking the cot under Sam and he was pretty sure he was bleeding rather heavily from places he didn’t like thinking about. 

Another loud wail finally broke through and Sam scooped the baby up, the umbilical cord dragging through the blood and mucus. 

He looked at it for a moment before he pressed the baby to his chest, covering it’s back with a huge hand. It was small. Too small in Sam’s uneducated opinion. But eight weeks too few and demon blood as the main nutrition probably didn’t make for big babies. At 32 weeks the baby should be able to make it but it would need medical attention soon, milk and oxygen and other things Sam didn’t know.

The wailing got quieter and Sam all of a sudden felt like he was back in his body. He was shaking all over, so hard he was rattling the cot. Sam’s whole body hurt and he didn’t know whether it was from the detox or giving birth or maybe both. He was covered in blood and vomit and gunk. 

He didn’t know how long he had been down in the panic room, couldn’t tell you the time or date. His throat was burning and his mouth was dry but then again he didn’t know when he had drank anything last. 

Just as Sam thought he had gotten himself under control, he felt the urge to push again and his jaw opened in another scream as the placenta slid out of him. He was panting heavily and shaking worse by the time it was done, though there was nothing in the panic room to cut the umbilical cord with and he had no other choice but to leave it attached to the once again crying baby. 

He was pretty sure he was about to pass out but call it motherly instinct or something, he knew that if he did right now, the baby wouldn’t survive. If it didn’t get medical attention soon, it wouldn’t make it, no matter how much Sam wanted that all of a sudden.  

Sam forced his eyes back on the crying thing, the eyes screwed up as it cried into Sam’s t-shirt. Sam only saw a little bit of green when it relaxed for a millisecond just to get enough air to start screaming louder instead. 

His head was about to explode from the noise but he couldn’t stop his eyes from sliding shut. Sam wanted to cry too, share in the misery but there were no tears left for him to cry. He dumbly thought about calling out for Dean again but knew his brother would not come, hadn’t come any of the times he had begged for him in the past days and this wouldn’t be any different. 

“Shhh, shhh.” Sam mumbled against the wet hair on the thing’s head. His words were slurred but he doubted the baby cared. 

Sam felt his eyes close involuntarily and no matter how much he tried to, he couldn’t muster up the energy to open them agaín. 

“I’m sorry.” Sam cried. “I’m so sorry.” His head dipped down further, his lips brushing unintentionally against the baby in the mockery of a kiss. “You don’t deserve this.”

Sam could feel himself slipping away, a tear finally making its way down his cheek as he knew that no one would come for him or the baby and they wouldn't make it out of the panic room. "

hi griffguts nation I'm back with a wip. drawing this time...(based on this painting of Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I)

found out one of the last things Anne Boleyn did before she died was order more clothes for little Elizabeth I and I got saaaaaaddddd omgg. It gave me an idea for an AU where Griffith undergoes a similar false imprisonment, and begs asks the King to show mercy upon his daughter, and not leave her destitute as he was in his youth. He leaves every cent he can to Guts, who is his baby daddy daughter's godfather, and tries to leave them as well off as he can before his execution.

One of the few mercies they grant him is regular visits with his daughter, who is accompanied by Guts every time she visits. She asks when he's coming back, when they can all play again together, and it takes all the strength he can muster not to break down. He finds a way to make her forget her question, and once she is tired out and snuggled in his arms fast asleep, he feels a few tears fall onto her silver hair. Guts gathers them up in his arms and holds them silently until it's time to leave again, for good this time. The heavy lock of the prison door marks the last day as a family, and the White Hawk's last full day in this mortal realm...

ok art’s not working rn but I still wanna share ghostsoap in my zombie au here too after seeing a bunch of the cod zombies stuff on twitter (I’m very autistic about zombie and since tumblr doesn’t really have a limit y’all will get more info. depression works hard, but autism works harder /j)

anyway tags for any of y’all who don’t vibe with this type of content

CW: zombies, so cannibalism, body horror (mutation based zombies they’re not the rotting kind), gore mentions, a little bit of death (not proper mcd)

(Will update if I’ve missed a tag)

AU CONTEXT:

SO the timeline is set far into the future of the zombie apocalypse where anything zombie related is very normal and apart of everyday life with relics and stories to the old word. Humanity is kinda thriving, there’s technology, medicine, secure food sources, water, functional cities & towns, overall the quality of life is pretty good, it’s a lil sci-fiy but not overly so.

The specific zombie strain to is a mutation based one, so there’s different zombie types and it affects all living things; herbivores are the only type of infected that’s non-aggressive unless provoked, while all carnivorous/predatory animals and certain omnivores are always hostile. Regardless of aggression, the disease can be easily transmitted via blood, bites, scratches, ingestion of contaminated products, and saliva depending on the zombie type. (fun fact—zombie cows are a thing and are used to deter attacks on living/healthy livestock)

GHOAP TIME

Anyway, world building context done (for now), Ghost & Soap are partners in “community security”, meaning they are to deal with threats to the livelihood/safety of people. They mostly work with towns since towns have less means to protect themselves—cities have fences and walls which are patrolled whereas towns outside a city might only have a simple fence and a couple zombie cows—from the hordes, raiders or particularly bothersome zombie types, while occasionally doing specialised work in the cities.

Ghost is blight, a humanoid zombie that has retained their human consciousness despite turning, while Soap is a delayed, a immune human who’s blood can used to suppress the affects of infection for via regular prescribed shots. Both are incredibly rare btw, (for both human and zombie) and are literally an ideal working pair because blight’s are highly infectious to the point where their drool is a safety hazard (one of the reasons they’re muzzled), but since Soap’s immune there’s no risk. Blight’s are also susceptible to unexpectedly going feral which Soap prevents by keeping Ghost in touch with his humanity; literally Soap’s lack of fear of Ghost is what helps them be a perfect working pair (that and Ghost genuinely enjoying Soap’s company).

So yeah, they patrol for raiders and redirect any wandering corpses frequently, with the occasionally job from some regular folk that’s too dangerous to do themselves—just all things that genuinely help people keep and feel safe.

Unfortunately for Soap, when dealing with zombies he can’t hide or mask himself as easy a regular person, a problem Ghost, unless displaying aggression, doesn’t have on account of being an actual zombie. Soap does abuse his immunity though, throwing himself in front of others to act as a meat shield and protect them from infection. Cause of that though his body is littered in scars of bite and scratch marks (zombies that harm Soap usually don’t exist for much longer if Ghost’s around)

As a blight, Ghost’s mutated state is centred around his human base but has elements of other zombie types; from pale and dark veiny skin, his jaw and throat are split into mandibles which Ghost needs a custom compression mask to be able talk, his arms have exposed boney spines/blades that are both retractable and can be used as projectiles (throwing knife equivalent), his nails are basically claws + are also somewhat retractable, and over certain parts of Ghost’s body are have bone plating as armour. It’s unclear the exact limit of Ghost’s capabilities as it’s near impossible to test him as he hates doctors/labs, (the reason he’ll consistently stepping into a lab for is for a blood transfusion/feed).

[^^^may be updated as I think more about this au]

Little Ghoap moment, but Soap will help Ghost in his upkeep of himself by either filing down Ghost’s claws or brushing the rows and rows of sharp teeth for any bits of stuck flesh and to keep an excess buildup of bacteria from forming. It’s literally something only Soap can do, both cause he’s immune and because Ghost only feels comfortable letting Soap help. It’s not an process that should take very long, but Soap is meticulously and after holding Ghost’s mandibles awkwardly extended for some time, he’ll gently massage the muscles; despite the horror it’s actually a pretty sweet gesture. When they’re off duty Soap’ll unlock Ghost’s muzzle and massage his face after being compressed for a couple days too (Soap’s one of the few people with the authority to unlock Ghost’s muzzle)

and uh yeah. I think that the end of that for now, hope it’s enjoyable. I’m combing my current hyperfixation with an idea/project I’ve been working on for years and is quite dear to me so there’s a lot of information to share lmao. feel free to ask any questions if there are any, preferably via the asks but comments are fine too (just I can tag asks together)

What child suffers for your sins?

Reference: Christ Crucified by Diego Velázquez in 1632

[molassified-minipak]

There’s a chapel in the Temple of Time.

A close space, gated, with a window to the west. The stained glass does not fill its frame as the Temple’s other windows. The bottom third remains clear, low enough for children to peek through and view the Lost Woods through the roofs and spires of Castle Town. Adults must stoop.

Vines twist around the ever-open gates. Golden and green, with bejewelled fairies wrought into the bars. A sapphire body’s wings are rubbed dark and tarnished - for luck, the townsfolk say.

There’s a shrine in the chapel in the Temple of Time.

Fairies, real ones, gather there. The seven symbols of the seven Sages encircle it in a halo of blessing. The plaque is wood, not metal or stone. Ancient red paint flakes in a spiral. There are no other marks.

The chapel is haunted, the townsfolk say. Only the pure of heart may enter. The gates warp in a way that anyone with ill intent finds themself back outside. Discordant flutes follow them. Laughter brands them unworthy.

The children of the town know better. They play safely and warmly in the light of the setting sun. They leave flowers and sweets and interesting bugs at the base of the plaque. This chapel, this shrine, is to their hero. They will all return home without care - as their hero never did.

Ever since the mission in Las Almas, Ghost has developed an alarming attachment to his sergeant, Soap. Even though it causes him to be in a state of existential dread, he still finds the familiarity enjoyable. That is, until his nightmares start to change from a past he recognizes to a past that is not even his. At least, he thinks it isn't. But no matter the doubt, he always recognizes his partner. Johnny.

With the nightmares haunting his evenings and the constant state of impending dread following him during the day, will Ghost be able to save not only Johnny, but himself as well?

Just let me go or take me with you

[kakairu-rocks]

Oh my goodness! Poor Kakashi, and Iruka! 😭 Kakashi looks absolutely horrified and in total disbelief that the only thing there is Iruka's halo; and he has the expression of a man who has cracked, and is about to go on a mindless rampage. And being a demon, I'm sure it won't be pretty!

I'm going to pretend that I didn't read what you intended it to be, and that everything will work out in the end XD

Thank you so much for sharing such an amazing piece with us! ❤️💕

(CW: Implied MCD)

I couldn't decide which one I liked best, so have both!

Here is my submission for the KakaIru Maze Challenge 2024, prompt being "Angels and Demons". Here is Kakashi as a fallen demon, looking down in shock at a lone halo, beloning to Iruka... I had in mind that Iruka died and what's left is his halo, but what happened is 100% up to interpretation.

Close-up:

Style-wise, I'm not so happy with the colouring but the composition and feelings mostly came as I wanted, so I quite like this piece even if it doesn't showcases my best

When they were little, and they started wearing masks because Mikey wanted to be like the heroes he watched in Saturday morning cartoons, Donnie asked Splinter to cut the tails of his short so they wouldn’t get in his way.

Leo thought that was a crazy decision, because if the tails were short they wouldn’t match Raph’s. 

“So?” Donnie said, unscrewing the bottom panel of the oscillating fan he stole from Splinter’s room. 

“So what?” Leo said. 

“So what if I don’t match Raph? I don’t have to,” Donnie pointed out, a seven year old at his most reasonable.

His twin blinked, then his striped cheeks puffed out, brow furrowing, fully not understanding the question. He wanted to do everything Raphie did, but denied it when anyone told him so. 

This certain proof of that behavior made Donnie smile, quiet and indulgent the way he only ever was for his other half, but only when it was just the two of them. 

Leo whined and kicked his feet but Donnie wouldn’t tell him what was funny. 

Those long blue mask tails are sodden and heavy as Donnie shifts them out of the way, leaving a sickening trail of red where they drag against Leo’s neck and shoulder. 

They’re pinned down, what’s left of the tunnel groaning and shifting around them, at least three Technodromes filling the sky outside. Donnie can feel the hum of impending doom in his teeth. 

“Hush, Nardo,” Donnie whispers, hand clamped over Leo’s mouth hard, even though it cuts him to have to do this. “You can’t scream, mellizo. Hush.”

His twin writhes, digging at Donnie’s grip with desperate fingers. His chest is heaving, eyes wild with pain. The rosy glow of Raph’s ninpo is all they have to see by as the projection hovers above them in case of another collapse. In the dim light, Donnie can almost pretend it’s mud he’s kneeling in, warm and slick and pooling at an alarming rate from the slab of concrete that Leo’s right arm has been crushed under.  

The safe zone has been compromised. It’s devastating, but not at all surprising. Two of their scouts didn’t report in when they should have, baseline humans who didn’t have a hope of resisting the Krang’s method of interrogation, so it was only a matter of time before the enemy came knocking. 

April, Mikey and Cass have been evacuating their people and transporting supplies in and out of sunny orange portals all morning while Draxum, Hob and Usagi guarded their every move with eagle-eyed vigilance. 

Donnie, Raph and Leo were holding the Krang at bay for every extra second that they could, but they stayed out there a second too long. 

Now Leo is bleeding and the Krang hounds are prowling, their horrible faces scraping the ground as they sniff out that rich source of life, and Donnie’s mind is blank with panic. They’re trapped, and if he lets go then Leo will scream and bring death down on them, and if he doesn’t then death will come anyway, with teeth and venom.

“Shhh, Lilo,” Donnie tries to soothe, imagining Leo’s sweet, bright ‘shhh yourself, Dodo!’ in place of the uncomprehending whine he gets in response. “God, I’m so sorry. It’ll be over soon, I promise.”

Maybe we should pray, he thinks wildly. Not to god, because that would be a spectacular waste of breath, but to one of the people who left the party early and might be willing to toss a miracle or two in their direction. Papa, or Gram-gram, or April’s mom. 

The red projection surrounding them begins to shrink. Slowly, making sure the rocks above and around them won’t shift, until the ninpo is just a warm glow beneath Raph’s skin. Donnie feels a rush of relief and anticipation—Raph has a plan, Raph will tell him what to do. 

Raph puts one arm around Donnie’s shoulders and cups Leo’s face with his other hand, stroking his cheek with the pad of his thumb. Blood smears beneath his fingers. His expression is hard to read in the dark underground. 

“You’ll be alright, big man,” Raph murmurs, all conviction, as if he can make it true out of sheer love. If anyone could, it would be him. Then he says, “Donnie, can you cut him out?”

The question makes his stomach lurch with nausea, bitter and acidic, but it’s a question that he can answer. After fighting in a three-turtle team for the better part of two hours, Donnie’s ninpo feels like coffee dregs left in the bottom of an empty pot. He has enough strength left that he could summon a tool for an emergency amputation, but only that. 

“Not quickly,” he says pointedly, “or quietly.”

Raph nods. He just sits there for a minute, holding them. They don’t have a minute and Raphie knows that but he’s just holding them. Donnie’s heart begins to race in a brand-new direction, some frightened thing in his very center sitting up and taking notice. 

Donatello has always been an incredible number of things, not all of them good or noble or worth bragging about, but above all else, at the end of each and every day, he was Raphael’s little brother. 

Donnie didn’t imitate him when they were kids—didn’t wear his mask tails long or find reasons to follow him around—but he was every firm hug Donnie needed to keep his skin from itching when life got too loud. He was an attentive, listening audience when Donnie had to talk about the things pingponging around in his mind without being interrupted or he’d scream. He was the large hands that held Donnie’s, the snaggle-toothed face that smiled in encouragement, when Donnie learned to walk. 

Donnie knew him fundamentally. Intrinsically. A textbook he never had to study, knowledge that grew up with him from the first moment he opened his eyes to the big, bright world. That’s how he knew what was about to happen the second before it did. 

“No,” Donnie says hoarsely. “Please don’t.” 

“Raphie’s gotcha,” Raph says warmly, the last steadfast and solid and remarkably kind thing left in the apocalypse.

He reaches down and presses the panic button on Donnie’s gauntlet. The alert activates with a bright pinging sound effect, echoing twice in their little disaster-made cavern as it’s received by Leo and Raph’s comms, and the Krang hounds nearby whine and bark in excitement. Their claws churn up earth and rock as they start to run.

Raph spares a second to press a kiss against Donnie’s temple, and another to Leo’s forehead, and then he’s gone. The light goes with him. Donnie shakes like a leaf, unreasonably cold, unable to think. 

Leo is half out of his mind by now, sobbing and jerking at his trapped limb, but all his agony is soundly drowned out by the brutal battle Raphael is leading far away from them. 

“Hush,” Donnie whispers, eyes stinging so badly he can hardly keep them open, tears dripping endlessly down his face. “It’ll be over soon.”

Damian and Jon being thick as thieves.

It's almost impossible to see them apart, especially when on patrol or out in uniform, hell, even in civilian wear, they're side by side.

There's a fight.

Usually they can pull through. But they know one of them isn't making it through this.

But they'll be damned if they're letting the other go.

So, side by side. As it's always been.

Jon, already weak from Kryptonite and his wounds, takes Damian's hand.

Damian, bleeding out from a gash in his side, takes Jon's hand.

They charge back into the fray, determined to finish this...together.

Their stories will end at the same time, whether fate wills it or not.

Hangster prompt that could go two ways when Jake, exasperated, tired, a little drunk and a little heartbroken, asks Bradley - in front of everyone and Penny, during one of their nights out at the Hard Deck - what he knows about:

Prompt A: unrequited love and Bradley answers with the description of two men looking at each other from the opposite side of a piano, while a kid tries to learn a new melody, telling each other they are in love for then never talking about it again just for the love to find space in every aspect of their life but never ever in the way it was supposed to.

Prompt B: love. What the hell does it know about love. Just for Bradley to stop in the middle of a sentence to look up at Jake, smiling softly and asking him if he's really ready to hear all that Bradley does know about love, and if he has a little more time to spear, he could tell Jake what he doesn't know about it.
