ONE | TWO | THREE

There was chaos and fighting brewing just outside the infirmary doors. There was no one inside except for the Healer who was forbidden to leave. A kind, gentle woman who had lost everything but still smiled at the patients that walked through her door. But even now, when she could only assume that the guard usually posted at the infirmary door was either dead or fighting, she couldn’t bring herself to walk through that door. 

What if the noises outside were just some raucous party that the Chaus occasionally threw? And she opened the door and got her head chopped off by the Clipper outside? Oh, but she knew that wasn’t true. Parties usually didn’t involve the clanging of swords or the screams of the dying. 

Eighteen months she had been trapped inside the infirmary. Eighteen months of Cogs sent inside for minor injuries or coughs with news of the world tucked into their pockets. War had broken out over the Badlands. A travelling messiah who preached of a new Azra roamed. Now Chau was the only Baron standing between the Widow and having total control of the Badlands and the war’s end. She had even been told of rumors, about a month ago, that Gaius had been set free to assassinate this Widow but had defected to her side in order to gain his freedom.

Song wanted that to be true more than anything else. That Gaius was no longer in chains but free and happy. For so long, her heart ached any time she thought of him. Locked in that deep, dark cell. But now, it hurt just a bit less to know that he may have been out there somewhere. Fighting for a cause he believed in. 

Some of the Cogs asked her, “Doesn’t it hurt that he left you imprisoned here?” 

She would always tell them no. For she held out hope that he would come back for her one day. Yes, some days she would doubt. But then she would think of him tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and asking where has my Song’s hope gone? 

In the store room, she shakily rearranged the medicinal herbs. Trying to ignore the crashes and screams from outside, still locked inside out of fear. Outside the window, she caught the distant forest of the farthest corner of White Bone’s grounds. These days, she tried not to look out the windows too much. For they filled her with such a deep, painful longing. To feel the breeze through her hair, the sun on her skin, the smell of the freshly cut grass of the grounds, to go to that gentle stream that always provided her with such comfort. 

The door came open with it’s usual creak. 

Spinning around, she expected to see the Clipper posted at her door checking to make sure she was still there. But instead, it was about the last person she expected to walk in. 

“Gaius,” she whispered. 

He looked beautiful. A little banged up, maybe. But still beautiful. He was wearing a purple velvet jacket and his hair was mussed. Blood was splattered on his face. She couldn’t tell if it was his or not. Last time she saw that face, it was swollen with bruises and he could barely speak. But now he was standing before her, after all this time. Wearing fresh clothes, breathing, alive, well. 

Her throat was closing in on itself as he moved closer to her. He looked just as shocked by her as she was by him. She could see his eyes gloss over with tears just as her vision began to cloud with her own. 

Was this real? Was this really happening? She had dreamed of this for so long. It was the only comfort she could find in those months of solitude. Thinking of the day when Gaius would storm into the infirmary and take her away from here. But after many days and nights of solitude and misery, these visions continued to bring her hope but they also brought her to tears. In the end, the dream where Gaius came back for her and they escaped the Badlands was the only companion she had left. 

But now he was there, standing before her. Inching ever closer with a breathless smile. Had she fallen into some sort of fever induced hallucination? She couldn’t remember having any symptoms that morning. She touched a quick hand to her forehead and felt only the heat of her ever growing flush. 

He was so close now. If this truly was a dream, she didn’t want him to come any closer. Fearing what would happen if she fully fell into this. She put out her hand to stop him. Her palm flat against his chest. She let out a gasp. 

Solid. Warm. She could feel his heart beating in his chest. 

“This is real?” she asked quietly, staring at her hand as she continued to feel him. 

Then he placed his hand over her own. She had forgotten just how big they were. Like the moon eclipsing the sun. He took hold of her hand and put it to his bloodied cheek, forcing her eyes to follow until they met his own. 

“This is real, my Song.” His voice was gruff and quiet. 

“Oh — “ Her tears finally fell as she sunk into the feeling. “Oh.” 

This was real. It felt like her body was buzzing with the flight of hundreds of bees. Like her heart was about to leap from her mouth. Like she could run ten miles or pass out completely. 

Instead of all that, she jumped at him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held him as tight as possible. Gaius laughed as he put his arms around her waist, drawing her in and holding her flush against him. 

Like in so many of those dreams, they stayed that way for a long time. Holding one another, crying, laughing, taking in new details on one another. They didn’t even say a word to each other. Only this time, this was no dream — it was real.

I saw a reel yesterday that was like "top 10 hikes in Canada" and they were, as predicted, 100% mountain hikes in Banff and Jasper National Parks (and not even hidden gems! The ones on tourist brochures!). Someone made a comment like "you need to see more of Canada" and the 🌟influencer🌟 replied that the rest of Canada wasn't worth visiting when there are views like that in Banff.

Anyway here's a phone photo from a hike I drove four hours round trip to do in a part of Canada that "isn't worth visiting" 😂

I recently started reading "Baddest of the Badlands" By @super-mollio , and my hand slipped.

If you haven't, bop on over and read this fic, I promise you won't regret it! I'm absolutely loving it so far, and I can't wait for the next chapter to come out.

The day passed in blood, liquor and black lace. Not so unlike the others. He expected the debauchery, the violence. The symphony of gunfire. An NCPD Enforcer set ablaze beneath the neon sky, the sound of it's burning only deafened by their laughter. But he did not expect the cake. He couldn't remember the last time he had had one. Sometime long before. Before he was this. Before the callouses and the scars. He could hardly even picture it now—delicate hands ripped away from the flame of a birthday candle. Another life, one that no longer belonged to him. He plucked a chocolate frosted cigarette and placed it between his lips. An attempt to hide his smile. "You make this all by yourself?" "Fuck no. Klepped it from some fucking kid." "Smokes too?" "Took 'em from your glove box." "Fuckin' devil." "Happy birthday, Dag." The words rang sweet as the cigarette tasted. Like none he had had before.

i mean this wholeheartedly when i say this is the funniest scene in trigun so far

[insinirate]

MY FAVOURITE SLUTTY GRANDPA!!!!!!! you draw him so well,,, also this made me curious enough to ask- what do you think of selfcest, specifically Vv between trimax and tristamp vash? Even platonically I can’t stop thinking about the type of dynamic they’d have and trimax vash watching stamp go through the things he’s already gone through before and trying to help him emotionally in some way. I think sexy grandpa could be a decent emotional support boy to his younger stamp self. Anyways. Love sexy grandpas, love the little liv with nai in the bg, thank u for letting us see the boys

much like the pseudo-selfcest between the woos in the other au i dont mind it and even entertain it sometimes but its not sth i actively look for?

i do like just thinking abt their different selves coexisting in some limbo tho like that picture of the 3 women sitting next to each other in various states of disarray on the train

Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

“A year has passed since the death of the Wicked Witch of the West. Fiyero and Elphaba have found a small moment of peace, living in the Badlands helping refugee Animals. Until a terrible vision turns their thoughts back to home, for they fear once again something bad is happening in Oz.

In the Emerald City, Boq, Glinda and Lion attempt to change Oz for the better, while dealing with an insurgence of Wizard loyalists who wish to go back to the old ways. Soon they discover an evil hidden in the belly of the Emerald City that is far greater than they could ever imagine.

Meanwhile back in Kansas, Dorothy Gale dreams of a girl with stars in her eyes…”

As someone with these 3 placements (scorpio/pisces/4th/8th houses), I really liked doing this post since it's something very personal to me! 💕 Also, one thing I notice is that all these placements usually listen to a lot of music, more than the usual, when in love.

Mini tutorial in case you don't know how to see your rulers. Look at the signs in your 5th and 7th houses, then look at where the planets who rule these signs are in your natal. For ex: I have a 5th house in sagittarius, so I need to look at my jupiter, sagittarius ruler, who is in scorpio in the 4th house. For this, I indicate for you to look at the modern rulership, but in case you don't identify with the characteristics, look at the traditional ruler.

God i wish Igloos got the same structure love that 1.20 gave to ocean ruins, wells and desert temples. I hope I've made it clear that the snowy biomes are imo the least interesting biome in MC to explore and potentially my least favorite overall. When I'm flying around with my elytra exploring for new loot (as i often am) I find myself instinctively turning around when I hit a snowy biome because even my subconscious knows there's no unique loot to be found there.

Let's compare the Snowy Plains with a biome that is, in many ways, its counterpart - The Desert. One hot and one cold, but both barren, flat, devoid of most passive mobs to set up farms, and chock full of rabbits. The differences though, lie in the loot and structures tied to these 2 biomes.

The Desert:

Best source of Sand, one of the last major non-renewable resources that have endgame players returning to them to gather it up by the boxful

Cacti (also found in badlands, the desert's cousin) are the only source of Green dye.

Are the only biome whos representative village has a unique mob - the Camel. A reliable mount, players are encouraged to seek out 2 desert villages to breed up a population of camels.

Desert temples have, hands down, the best loot for their place in the game. 4 chests that regularly have diamonds, enchanted books, gunpowder, gold, and an exclusive Armor Trim? Also have an archaeology pit with 4 exclusive sherds

Even desert wells have 2 sherds to their name, making 6 of these collectable trinkets exclusive to deserts.

Ranking: A biome I make sure to scour every inch of when I find one to loot every structure there for the minerals, trims and sherds. and return to again and again to grab extra sand and eventually bring Camels home.

Now let's look at the Tundra:

You need 8 snowballs (which can be found far more plentifully in biomes far more interesting) to make a snow golem, giving you access to infinite snow and no reason to return here

Polar Bears are semi-exclusive to this biome, although can also be found in Frozen Oceans (which have more loot courtesy of the shipwrecks and ocean ruins). However, Polar Bears are imo one of the least interesting animals in MC, due to being unbreedable and not really. Doing anything. (As much as I preach not every mob needs a 'Use'™, they should still have interesting behaviors and Do Things. There's not a whole lot the player can do with polar bears to inspire the imagination. I'd love to see them get reworked and polished someday!)

Ice Spikes are interesting biomes with basically nothing in them other than the pretty scenery (which I'll admit is very pretty, it gets points for that). It used to be the only source of the highly-useful Packed Ice block, until 1.13 made it 100x more plentiful in the much more common Frozen Ocean biome, and made it craftable from regular ice.

Snowy Villages are like finding any other village, but notedly without Hay Bales, arguably making them Worse to the seasoned minecraft player than finding any other village, even if they look nice)

The only Real unique structure to snowy biomes is Igloos, which have an interesting mechanic with the secret basement (that only half of all igloos actually Have) showing the player how to cure zombie villagers. While interesting and good for new players, there's no reason for experienced players to bother exploring igloos when the best thing to find in them is a single Golden Apple. Igloos should've gotten a unique armor trim!

Ranking: A biome whos lack of interesting treasure or animals makes them not worth the firework rockets it takes to fly through them.

The Snowy Plains is an important biome. Or at least, should be. It's the Snow Biome! It should have unique things like the Desert has unique things.

Maybe add a unique animal to tundra villages, like a Yak or a Muskox or something, to encourage noobs and pros alike to farm in the winter wonderland. Add a unique armor trim to igloo basement chests for new players who spawn in the snow biome to find, as well as maybe some Suspicious Snow blocks around it. Maybe some new pottery sherds or, since whoever lived here liked to experiment so much with DNA, maybe they've been trying to bring back a long-extinct species like the Sniffer. Hell, add a Snow Temple the same way deserts & jungles have temples, with loot chests and traps and whatnot! Something to make flying through the snowfields as much of a rip-roaring treasure hunting expedition as flying through the sand dunes is.

dsmp season 2 will be clingy duo living together as depressed people trying to process whatever the fuck happen to themself(it goes as well as you can imagine). Also they killed Dream because dsmp is now my media and i can rewrite it however i want.

I'd say in season 2 in term of clingy lore, it would be them tackling their trauma n also their relationship. Then, theres also Punz who came out alive in the breathtaking season 1 finale where they definitely kill dream, ofc it would lead up to him reviving dream back.

Also it would tied up some loose end that never were resolved, where ranboo and michael when and because its possible because this is in written text format, maybe Techno character might come back in the story where maybe big drama would happen between bedrock bros.

Theres also other lore that is loose end, but im mainly focusing on clingy lore here and things that would've connected to them. So for TOTSMP or badlands stuff idk about their lore bruh. Maybe at most, i would like include quackity or niki stuff.

also heres have ref of tubbo scar
