#in a dangerous situation'

The moment Minglian spoke up, all eyes were on her. Where it seemed that the two Vasyrus weren't all too surprised to see her, the Ahnian man was another story. Though he didn't speak, he cradled the woman in his arms closer to his chest, like she was something special to him, and narrowed his eyes at the newcomer in an icy glare.

"Ah...no need to apologize! The lady was starting to feel ill at the party, so we thought getting some air would help. Unfortunately she was still feeling faint, so we decided it would be best if she turned in for the night...and we got turned around on the way."

Luckily, Niesal was quick to step forward and start talking, or who knows what Tahariel might have done? Nothing good, that much was certain...

@soulsxng // mentioning @soraeia || About to join the book club/support group?

She nearly squeaked out loud when every eye present turned towards her, and only remembering her status in the last second quelled it. She was an imperial princess, she wasn't supposed to squeak! Regardless of the uncharacteristic nervousness that ate at her, not helped in the least by the glare that the man holding the woman threw her way. Yeesh...

Her attention turned to the one that stepped forward and forward and spoke. "I see..." Minglian's attention traveled past the others to focus on the Vanystean princess. After what had happened earlier, perhaps her nerves were frayed with paranoia that harm might befall another member of the Vanystean royal family. The story given was plausible enough, but her eyes searched the woman's own face for any signs of distress beyond a fainting spell.

"If you all are lost, I can perhaps go look for a guard?" Wait, the mention of a guard brought Xiaodan, her own no doubt frantic protection, to mind. Did the princess not have guards who were meant to stay at her side and keep her safe with so many now roaming the palace? If they did not know her well enough to know where her rooms were, why were they allowed to wander about with royalty without a guard questioning or assisting them? The way the man held her, so protectively, made even less sense in that aspect too...

Something was wrong. And here she had just offered to alert a guard, her brother would kill her. Forcing her face to remain placid, the princess took a half-step back as if preparing to leave.

I wish people understood more that animals go through puberty just like people do, and that "teen" animals will have new and often unpleasant behaviors as they grow and try and figure out their place in the world.

Many of the animals I see being rehomed are right at the one to two year old mark, when maturity is still an ongoing process and their behaviors get more intense. Be patient with them! They DO grow out of it!

Aster was a holy terror until he was almost 3 and now he's the best cat I've ever owned. If you can't deal with these changes, adopt a mature animal instead of getting a puppy or kitten, because it's more likely than not they will have a turbulent teen phase.

It’s a good thing that the boys had cute little button eyes when they were babies, because imagine if they had big ol eyes instead, like

Thank you for defending Nazis. They're just little guys. Just misunderstood, with genuine grievances. I noticed you accidentally forgot to defend child rapists. Dumb commies like you are all the same 🙄

Piss on the poor! Also I'm not a commie and never claimed to be one.

Cass secretly brought home a cardboard box during Mr. Freeze attempt to freeze gotham again after patrols.

Problem being is nobody knows that she brought home a creature until things started going missing.

First it was Damian's favorite katana, then dick's nightwing mask, Tim's personal coffee mug that he still accusing of Dick taking it, Duke's special sunglasses, one of the Barb's purples USBs, one of alfred's cookie mixing batter spoons, Jason's old Robin cape during a few months or so..

It came to Bruce attention the moment his batman belt went missing when he went down the batcave...

Someone brought something home that taking their stuff and mostly all point to Damian who swears on the lararus pits themselves that he didn't do it.

Cass is quiet the whole time.. until Tim noticed and pointed out that in the board of missing stuff and clues that She didn't get any of her stuff stolen..

Her face went still before a tiny adorable dust of pink went across her face as she handed signed that she may have.... found a abandoned creature during patrols... a couple of months ago.

Cass leading them to her room to her closet that look iced cold yet able to function still where a makeshift nest of sort of soft blue space related blankets, and all the stuff that were stolen along with other items they didn't even noticed were taken.

And the culprit behind it all was a tiny little looking 8 year old boy with pale skin, glowing defying gravity like black mixed white hair, with pale mixed greenish blue eyes. The kid wearing one dove hoodie Jammies, staring wide eyed at them.

Before the batfam can speak, Cass made a shushing motion with her mouth as she signed that he can't really control his voice that sound much like a banshee.

i never know how to phrase it but something about the way beatles biographers and people in general view paul's reflexive placating persona and determination to smooth things over as manipulative or duplicitous and john's reflexive barbed persona and habit of lashing out as brave and subversive despite both being equally defensive mechanisms to shield themselves from the world that resulted in them saying things that weren't true says more about how we culturally view kindness or friendliness as inherently untrustworthy or flimsy and anger and carelessness as more believable as someone's true nature than it says about either of them in actuality

okay one last dream kalim doodle since I had fun drawing him (and also yuu I missed her)

🌸 when the Hindriarch banished Eskhind and her kin from Bey Lah, Neelahind would follow her heart into voluntary exile. To abandon a surefooted life, as well as a coveted spot among the Fellowship, is nearly unheard of among both hindren and Wardens, but Neelahind was glowing when she took her leave. I hear the pair are quite happy together, practicing arconautics in the ruins to the west—at least, that's what the kendren bring news of when they come back to trade.

back at it again w more caves of qud deer gals 😏✨ i'm kind of enamored with the ending to the Bey Lah quest where Esk and Neela both take off, so i wanted to see what they'd look like as a matched set of lesbian pariah-arconauts. geez, i can’t believe it’s been almost two years since i drew them last

image descriptions under break!

img desc: A drawing of a hindren deerfolk girl from "Caves of Qud". On the left a title card reads "Pariah Neelahind (she/her)". Some of the details are labeled. Her fur is a rich cedar red, with a lighter heartwood underbelly curling under her arms and on the inside of her legs down to her hooves; her curly hair is dark mahogany, tied back in a ponytail with a sky-blue bandana; her antlers are a pale heartswood, deepening to a rich velvet at the tines. She’s smiling, looking up and off to her right; she's poised upright, her arms spread to either side of her as she grips the haft of her war-scythe Yal, which is laying across her shoulders. She’s wearing shining steel platemail—a breastplate over a nanoweave surcoat patterned with pale lemon slices over pink (called "Pink Lemonade"); her armor is incomplete, but well taken care of. She’s wearing leather braces, a steel gauntlet on her left hand only, and a woven blue sash and bedroll across her back.

img desc: A drawing of a hindren deerfolk girl from "Caves of Qud". On the right a title card reads "Pariah Eskhind (she/it)". Some of the details are labeled. Her fur is ashen, with her pale undercoat spotting through on her forearms and flanks. Her messy hair is a greenish bleach-blonde, and one of her ears has a hole in it; her antlers are pale and their velvet is darker grey, and they're covered in little tied-on charms and brass tine hornaments. She has an eyepatch over her left eye, and a gap between her front teeth. She's grinning, slouching in a relaxed fashion, pulling back her hood with one hand and flashing a rock-on with the other; her front two legs are crossed, while the back two are spread like she's posing for a picture. She's wearing a well-worn chainmail hauberk, which extends down over her back; a ragged cowl, with buttoned slots along the hem of the hood for her antlers to fit through; a leather bracer on her left wrist, a steel pauldron on her right shoulder, a fingerless elastyne glove on her right hand, and two pairs of croccasins on her hooves. A pocketed saddle is slung over her back, along with a backpack and bedroll; on either side, the pockets are full of tools and bits. Tucked into her swordbelt is a sheathed folding carbide longsword and a gaslight kris; slung across her chest is a bolt-action rifle called "Peashooter" (it has a lesbian flag on its stock). Around her legs are several beaded bracelets and charms; one of them is the rightfully reclaimed Kindrish, complete with its carved deer charm.

Marcille telling Chilchuck that healing magic can be used to torture people only to use it as such a few days later...

It's like she's warning him about what she can and will do if he doesn't cooperate. I find it interesting.

We know they're friends, but he doesn't want to talk about it. They all know that. Chilchuck is not a fan of talking about his life and they aren't usually pushy about it. The one problem is when Marcille wants to know. Because she's curious and has her head full of romantic novels and she just finds out her friend has some delicious and controversial love story. She's not going to let herself not know about his life. Even if he doesn't want to talk about it. For better or worse, she takes advantage from his injuries to make him talk about it, to force him to open up about this. She quite literally tortures him (just a little bit but still) to get this info out of him.

I have just realized about all this, but.. yea, Marcille, that's a kinda fucked up thing to do to your friend.

if I could go back in time my top advice to my younger self would literally be don’t get into fucking situationships

This whole ‘Emmet Vanishing’ situations has really shown a flaw in their system with the train being completely down just because one guy is missing. This seems like a great time for the DWMA to send student cannon fodder I mean interns/job shadows to help out lmao.

I mean in their defense, they live on train 24/7. Death really couldn’t have found anyone better to protect the train than 2 super powerful meisters/weapons who also has an obsession with public transit sksksk

I’d say before Emmet and Ingo were in the picture, the train either didn’t venture out as much as it does or constantly attacked/endangered. Them taking the helm and building it from the ground up, rebuilding it as a simple freight train to a passenger one is pretty impressive!

But on the topic of cannon fodder students, I seriously think Emmet and Ingo would 100% be against them working on their train simply because in their mind, it goes against all safety regulations SKSK

A lot of people on tumblr have been suicidal at some point in their lives, and for many of them they were young when it began. As someone who has never experienced that, what do kids/teens who express suicidal ideation ACTUALLY need or want from the adults in their life?

My own personal canon, I guess

But the way I see it, Bruce hates that Jason kills because it puts a worse target on his back. If rogue’s fight against Red Hood and know their lives are genuinely on the line and not just a prison sentence, they’ll fight back harder and dirtier. Red Hood being a killer means that every encounter w him is life or death. So Bruce hates that Jason kills because he’s scared.

It wouldn’t make sense for Bruce to work w people who kill but constantly lecture Jason about it. But it does, because Jason’s different.

The difference being that Bruce doesn’t really care if those other people get hurt. Or no, he does, but not as much as he cares about Jason.

He lost him once, and brutally. If Jason continues on the path he started when he first comes back as Red Hood, Bruce can only see one result. His boy. Dying again. Brutally.
