sometimes after a long day of being molested by the whole town all you need is to soak in the bath with your bestie (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)♡
with @wreckowafer 's yunie <3
#what better way to cheer up your bestie than spilling tea as you sit in the bath together and ignore the sting of your bruises <3#yunie and damsel are both severely emotionally stunted but they enjoy each other's presence. cuties ♡#wafer and i did not coordinate bathroom posts btw we literally just have the same braincell 😭#dol pc#damsel the starlet#i wanted to draw the girlies a bit bruised up since i haven’t drawn Damsel with bruises#which simply would not do#damsel doesn't get harassed as much but she still gets harassed#she's small and not very strong so she relies on her reputation mostly to send people away#and if they won't leave she gives them mind melting head and contemplates killing them off later <3#anyways...on to the other drawings i have in mind 🙏🏽#no nippies so hopefully tumblr won’t snipe me 🙏🏽#forgot Damsel's industrial in that second pic....oh well#ignore how small my handwriting is I'm trying to curb that but i'm failing 😭#tw bruising#tw implied assault#damsel draws sometimes

Steve notices when Eddie disappears from the party, almost immediately. Robin and the others are crossfaded and a little weepy, and Steve knows they're excited—and scared. They're all heading out next week, Robin to Chicago, Nancy to New York, Jonathan to California. So they didn't notice it, when Eddie got up for the bathroom and didn't come back.
Steve did. Steve's pretty good at recognizing stuff like that, especially when it's painfully familiar.
He's pretty loud when he crawls through his own bedroom window out onto the roof, loud enough that Eddie startles and drops his cigarette onto the asphalt shingles.
"H-Hey!" he says, all false cheer despite the croak in his voice and the sniffling—the way he wipes quickly at his face.
"Hey," Steve says, going for softness and compassion. God knows he's spent many a night out here crying by himself. He doesn't want Eddie to think he's being a dick about it. "You okay?"
"Yep!" Eddie says, pitched too high and the words crack between his lips. "Totally fine! I'll come down in a bit so—"
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Eddie's teeth clack together when he shuts his mouth, falling into silence as Steve settles down at his side. Neither of them say anything. Faintly, they can hear the murmur of their friends' voices, mixed with the summer night call of forest frogs and bugs. Steve thinks about chasing fireflies in the back yard when he was little, how the dark woods are near impenetrable to Steve now, the boyhood security long stripped from him.
Beside him, Eddie wipes at his face again, his elbow brushing Steve's arm because Steve's sat himself so close. Steve, carefully not thinking about it, leans over—further and further—until his head hits Eddie's shoulder.
The sound Eddie makes is soft and broken, so Steve tucks himself even closer into Eddie's side, arm going around his back, and closes his eyes just so he could overwhelm himself with the warmth radiating from Eddie, the smell of soap and sweat and weed, the feel of Eddie's hair on his head when Eddie bows his head as he cries, hair long and curtaining the two of them—Eddie keeping Steve, pulling him in to witness his private grief.
#steddie#pre-steddie#dribble drabble#the inherent intimacy of crying in front of a friend (your crush)#this isn't much but i couldn't get this lil image out of my head#this probably lives in the same universe as the 5 minute break up drabble i posted last week#where eddie in fact got expelled spring 86 and is trying to get a GED#and he has NEVER thought about going to college but it still stings something fierce to see the others going off#and he's also so sad robin and nancy are gone#and he's scared of being alone with his big gay crush on steve with no buffers anymore LMAO#shush mal#my steddies

sabertooth headcanons pt. 1
I feel like mashima could've made sabertooth just a smidge less flat... they all had so much angst in them and the potential to evolve and grow as people... or they could all turn nice in the span of an episode. that works too.
♡ sting is a sweetheart. he's a genuine, caring, and kind boy who grows up to be a charming and earnest young man. that is, unless he's on the battlefield. old sabertooth sting makes an appearance in those moments. his smirk is cruel, his taunts are like daggers, jabbing away at the opponent. he's cocky and arrogant, and maybe he has the right to be so because his attacks are so powerful they blow the enemy away.
♡ lector is the kind of friend who talks major shit about whatever you're doing as he's helping you. he tells sting how dumb it is to go on a mission alone in mid-flight to their destination. ride or die? nah, lector is fly or die.
♡ rufus loves tea brewing. this is one of the few areas of knowledge that he chooses not to use his magic on. he loves sitting down with a good book and reading about the history of tea, tea cultivation, the proper culinary techniques to brew the perfect cup of tea.
♡ orga is the reason sabertooth has open-mic nights. the (second) strongest guild in fiore turns into a comedy club on tuesday nights, and surprisingly, it's good. orga serenades whoever comes to mind that night: it's been sting, rogue, yukino, all the usual suspects, and on one memorable occasion, mr. yajima. yukino tells the most wholesome, funny stories while frosch and lector act out the scene behind her. in what was probably the most fever dream moment of sting's life, minerva took the mic and delivered such a seething, deadpan stand-up that she got the entire guild cheering for her.
♡ minerva goes all out for halloween. besides just being into arcane magic and the history of magic, she loves spooky things. also, she's a bit fucked up, and this is a good outlet for her. sabertooth will gladly take minerva's scarily detailed sculptures of severed limbs over her lashing out any day of the week. to her guildmates' surprise, she also organizes a family-friendly haunted house in the guild hall for the kids of gazania.
♡ in my heart of hearts, sting does not become sabertooth's guild master. I headcanon him as a healer, so I think he would establish an infirmary in sabertooth and oversee it. unsure if rogue or minerva becomes guild master. I think minerva would be better suited for the role, but there's also recency bias against her because of jiemma. and she needs time to process everything that went into sabertooth's upheaval.
♡ which sabertooth member do you never want to piss off? you might think it's minerva or rufus or even the twin dragons. no. it's yukino. she is the sweetest, kindest member of sabertooth by far, and also the most patient. if you offend yukino, she's unlikely to do much about it, but celestials forbid you hurt her friends, especially minerva. she'll send her spirits after you, and no one will ever find your body.
♡ sabertooth, despite their efforts to become a kinder place, is still a hard guild to get into. they're not like fairy tail where anyone can just join. the core members argue for a long while about what kind of entrance test they should have. ultimately they decide on a test of strength, but not just physical ability. minerva says that it's in the eyes, whether someone has the drive and tenacity to always improve themselves and make sabertooth proud. she tries to be subtle, but she's also staring at yukino the entire time. one eyebrow wiggle from lector turns minerva as red as the cat's fur.
#lychee writes#sabertooth is NOT a copy of fairy tail#mashima simultaneously gave us so much and also nothing about them#idk how but I ended up rly focusing on minerva and yukino's relationship in my fic...#minerva can connect with someone for the first time ever#as a treat#genuinely we know so little about them I'm trying to build something out of nothing#also mashima should've let minerva stay evil#this is the nico robin effect#like she's still in sabertooth and has friends and what not but she's still sadistic and cruel and a bit messed up#BUT THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF IT GRRRR#fairy tail#fairy tail headcanons#sabertooth#sting eucliffe#lector#rufus lore#orga nanagear#yukino aguria#is that how her name is spelled????#yukino agria#minerva orland#rogue cheney#him too oops

What if you had severe self-esteem issues and you could clone yourself but your clone was cooler & more extroverted & better groomed than you. Would that be like. Fucked up or what.
A critical component of Chorus' power irony is that she is verrry prone to jealousy of her clones, and - given that most clones start out as perfect copies of her - they share the exact same issues. When The Chorus are alone or surrounded by enemies, they're a well-oiled machine, able to rely on one another completely. In the presence of allies, The Chorus end up at one another's throats for every scrap of attention.
The original usually wins out, since she can despawn her clones at will, and doesn't hesitate to do so. Her clones are caught between a deep-seated desperation to "win" affection and admiration, and the knowledge that if their progenitor feels threatened (which she will, if they succeed), she'll delete them from existence completely.
#being deleted doesn't bother a fresh clone too much since they still see themself and chorus as the same person#and there's some degree of memory bleed-over when the clones die#so it's not (in their minds) like they're dying#just losing this body#this also means it doesn't sting too much for chorus to share a victory with these ones#but if they develop enough differences from chorus to consider themself a seperate entity...#oh boy.#ana markova#vibes ocs#worm oc#parahumans oc

on the floor rn trying to process 2 different emotions
wanting to be happy for and supportive toward franco because moving up to f1 is a big deal
and wanting to literally weep for logan because this must be absolutely crushing for him
this hurts them both, but unfortunately, making a decision like this isn't exactly something new for williams, is it
#ok i'm not actually on the floor#this is the chassis situation but even bigger magnitude#nobody wins everybody feel like utter shit#while i literally know nothing of franco so i can't say there's a lot of attachment#and don't claim to be a big logan fan#logan has been handling everything with so much grace and maturity#which i respect him a lot for#so it still stings watching him repeatedly being kicked down and treated... like... less... just... less...#by his own team#this is just fucking horrible#logan sargeant#franco colapinto#williams#*ensiyap

I'm mostly putting this under a readmore coz it's a personal piece & not everyone needs / wants to see my silly feelings! It's nothing graphic. Just a self-indulgent poem.

#✧・゚・゚✧ | ☾ | : jude speaks.#tbd.#she really acually called me a trojan war horse...... that struck a chord.#and all i did was.....set a boundary. very gently even. hhhhh#ANYWAY SORRY today marks 3 yrs#since THINGS and im so much happier now but it still stings#and makes me feel like some inadequate terrible being despite knowing#i didnt do anything wrong.

darva and solas bring a little “you were brother anakin. I loved you” to the table that makes me feel really, really sad ;—;
#Darva looked up to him! as a mentor! as a family figure!#in many ways solas reminded darva of his father and he…latched onto that#the father that never got to see him grow up into the person he did#so it’s like. yes solas ofc isn’t his father but there’s a closeness to them#darva was always curious always keen to listen before making a judgement#he wanted to understand#it’s funny bc Eshka also wants to understand but she’s much more cynical#curiousity and understanding are tools to a means to an end for her#there’s no motivation beyond the desire to understand and to learn with darva#a stance solas would be keen to exploit in veilguard#darva carries a lot of hope for solas. but the betrayal still stings#idk!! im pondering it all in my brain#darva and eshka are so fun to ponder as protags who both know solas. but know the man very differently#owen plays dragon age#oc: darva lavellan

me when i stop caring too hard
#-about something that's still bothered me for i think 3 months#i don't care. i want to write this somewhere#and after connecting a few dots with a few situations - im glad this is where it is now#in fact. this just made me realize a few things that i didn't notice back then#and I'm glad that i don't have to deal with it so much anymore#they were so willing to let go of me anyway. its pointless trying to go back and care again when im certain its going to happen again#the only thing im worried with is how it'll affect others#and im sure it will. to some capacity.#things like these are really like an injection#it will sting so hard when it happens. especially for the first time (me). but when you look back on it you realize it's not that bad-#-and it's probably actually for the better#now when i try to recall the past events. i don't feel like crying or getting emotional. i feel neutral - maybe a little puzzled#but nothing of strong emotions#maybe I will think about it from time to time but#consider it like a reflection#does it mean i moved on? maybe not. because it just comes to me whether unprompted or not#anyway. im going home#i guess the only thing that did to me now in the present is just. made me more wary of what i come across#actually. ill never forget what they described me. the absolute gall to say that is really appalling#i am sorry if this will upset someone. but i want to say what i want to say

I’m not threatened by ships that “break up” my OTPs. I will ship nearly anyone with nearly anyone (my personal line is illegal stuff) and because at the end of the day, nothing is stopping me from enjoying it all! I’ll revel in my nalu, but I’ll enjoy shipping Lucy and Natsu with other people too — maybe even shipping everyone at the same time! Love has no bounds! I remember back in the day when I was so threatened by NaLi and GrayLu, but like. It wasn’t that I disliked the ship on their own, I just thought you weren’t allowed to like anything other than NaLu. What a sad way to live! I love Lisanna and I love her and Natsu’s childhood love — I have a whole fic that praises them together (it’s a nalu fic though bc I like them a bit stronger than the other ships).
Anyways no ships will scare me away, unless it’s Mest x Wendy. Get that grown man away from my baby.
#I personally don’t love karameel and mercphobia together either#because merc is a father figure to karameel and it’s a bit incesty#adopted family is still family yk#sting and rogue has rubbed me a bit wrong too but not as much as merc and karameel#anyways I didn’t write this to be negative so just ignore my tags lol

for anyone who thinks deseeding a potentially spicy or definitely spicy pepper with your bare hands is a good idea, it isn't. Use gloves.
if you decide to ignore me, rubbing your hands in veggie oil (or olive oil) for several minutes, and then thoroughly cleaning them with dish soap and the warmest water you can tolerate may remove enough capsaicin to make suffering slightly more bearable while the "I feel like I just grabbed a fire-hot cast iron pan" feeling subsides
#to be clear I was preparing food for family members who can eat spicy shit and usually the anaheim peppers don't DO this to me#anyhow it feels like I'm suffering a minor burn but unlike a minor burn#which I can ice for an hour or so and be Fine#capsaicin is evil and lingers on skin no matter how much ice used and for whatever reason oil was the most frequently recommended solution#it did help a little and my hands are not burning as badly nor are they reacting to heat as badly but they still sting a bit#absolutely weird experience very painful would not recommend#oracle of lore

i hate going through art slumps so much. like wdym i barely want to draw and i don't like anything i make and i get radio silence from half the places i share my art to these days and and and
#ace rambles#i don't share my art here anymore because i'm still standing my ground on that but all of about 2 people care anywhere else#in one of the discord servers i'm in literally the last 3 posts in my art thread have gotten no response#and i KNOW that i shouldn't rely on external validation to see the worth in my own work#but to get that much nonresponse when i'm already feeling low about my art. well. it does not feel good 👍#hardly anyone follows me on cohost or bluesky or atmos#which is to be expected since it took me literally a decade to build the following i have here#but again. it leads to nonresponses on my art. which stings#i don't want to complain about this Again#because i've had so many minor meltdowns about this exact thing in the past#and it just feels whiny as fuck#but it's hard to convince myself to keep drawing when it genuinely feels like no one cares#on top of the fact that it's so energy intensive for what feels like such garbage end results anyway#i don't like anything i make right now#and i know that'll pass but it's excruciating to work through#negative//
