#why do you need this many legs sir#toedscruel#woah holy shit i just looked outside and it's super dark out. i'm queuing this up at noon why is it so dark#lemme look#yeah it's. dark. there's a bunch of dark evil clouds in the sky lookin like it's gonna storm oh i just heard thunder yeah it's gonna storm#uh oh. good thing i'm queueing this guy up before the storm so my power doesn't go out. this happens frequently#anyway toedscruel. it's definitely an evolution of toedscool. it definitely looks like tentacruel#if it's a different pokémon why does it evolve into something so suspiciously similar. i can understand wigglet and wugtrio being#different pokémon. just based on how different they are from diglett and dugtrio. even though their names are a typo away#but this guy is. it. really should've just been a regional form‚ i think#unrelated‚ but on random occasions seemingly whenever someone new finds the blog and reads my tags#i'll occasionally get folks asking me how i type commas in the tags#the answer is that this character → ‚ ← is not a comma. it just looks identical to a comma because of tumblr's font#it's actually a lower quotation mark. so for a language that does ‚this kind’ of quotation marks#and i use it as a comma because i have a fancy linguist keyboard that can type all kinds of fancy symbols. and it's easily accessible#some of my favorites include the single-character ellipse: …#the degrees symbol: º and °#small A: ª#fractions: 1⁄2 2⁄3 1⁄4 etc#and obviously IPA symbols and various diacritics‚ so that i can type the word pokémon without having to copy-and-paste the E#currency symbols‚ too. £¢$§¥ euro is on here somewhere but i don't know where bc i don't use that one really#i just like being able to type things the way they're supposed to be. like it's 80º outside. the stopwatch costs 15¢ in the shop#and‚ of course‚ pokémon. it's the linguistics and computer 'tism combining together i think#it's storming harder now but i found the euro symbol: €#oh fuckin hell my lights just flickered. this is gonna be rough..!

this feels like ive been shot in the arm the fact that hyunjin wanted to cover the moonlight which usually has soft, comforting connotations, like even the gentle light was too much for him at the time and he wanted someone warm to be there with him please hold me
#im wounded im laying on my bed staring at the ceiling#i cant#my baby#like i dont think ive ever read about someone wanting to cover the moonlight#usually it’s wanting it to filter in like a flicker of hope in the darkest night#im not talking specifically about hyunjin here but this concept is so fascinating to me#like are the shadows too strong that the moon pales in comparison to them#or is it because u are too deep in ur despair that u dont want to see the light and be reminded of what u wish for yet cannot grasp#so instead he’s asking for a person to be there in the darkness with him#not telling him it’d be better just sitting there and existing with him#HYUNJIN’S MIND IS SO FASCINATING TO ME I NEED TO KNOW#i need a 5 hours long convo with this man about his songs alone 😭😭😭

yellow light by of monsters and men.....
#forgot how teary eyed this song makes me lol#this song and emerald star by lord huron and so far by ólafur arnalds have the same kind of vibe to me like....#you know when ur out on the lake and the water's choppy and it's so dark around you and then you can see the light from the lighthouse#flickering........ calling u back. but also so impossibly far away. farther than you thought. just like that...

I love you, all of you
I never thought much of love or girls,
It just wasn't as captivating at the time,
Until I had you in my life.
You were such a beautiful, out of the world girl.
The most perfect I've ever seen, although you seemed to think otherwise,
Most of the times you had a mask on, I never understood that,
You had glasses, I thought it fit you just right,
Round and adorable.
You get insecure of your weight, or appearance at times.
I never understood that either,
You seemed perfect, even with a little chub or even if you were a little more heavy than others,
I adored you for being so you.
You weren't too short. Even if I tease you for it, I do love that about you. Adds to the adorableness,
You seemed to fit perfectly with me,
A matching set, like we were molded so we can fit together like puzzle pieces.
You joke that you might disappear one day,
I understood that one.
I hope I could sway you to knowing you are indeed loved,
Loved by me if not anyone else, you always have a special place in my heart. No matter the situationship. You're so special to me.
You are very much needed,
By me at least, if not others. I need you to talk to me, to hang out with me, I need you so I can love somebody, I want you. I need you. You are so valuable and one of a kind.
You aren't a disappointment,
I'm so proud of you, for even breathing, eating, waking up everyday. Some days these normal tasks are hard, but you still push through and I think you're amazing for that! I'm so happy, you do amazing everyday! It's alright if you didn't do anything productive, I'm still proud that you're here.
You aren't a waste of space,
I would love for the empty space beside me to be filled by you, you're always welcome to come over to me. You wouldn't be here if no one wanted you to be here, someone wanted it. You are absolutely deserving of taking up space, as much as anyone in the world.
You aren't useless,
I think you can do so many things, you have so many things you can help with! And even just a small thing like holding a conversation helps. I'm endlessly proud of you.
You don't talk too much,
I will always be there to listen to your rambling, or lore drops from new reads. Your voice and your passion for what you're saying keeps me going, I'd go for hours just listening to you if I could.
You aren't too clingy or needy,
I thrive off of it, I'm clingy myself. Or at least I think so, I love when you reach out to me. Makes me get butterflies in my stomach. I love when you need me, I feel needed.
But we all have negative thoughts.
And some of them stay.
Just say the words and I'll be singing praises and reassurance to you.
I love you, I love all of you.
Till the moon and back, my sunlight.
#love poem#love poems#poets on tumblr#writers on tumblr#writers and poets#wlw#wlw fluff#fluff#a little something I wrote for my darling#a while ago#love confessions#lovers#4evewrites#skz fluff#i hope this would make you. my dear reader crack a small smile.#things get hard at times#but in darkness there is always just a flicker of light#latch onto it and keep going#you're so strong#i love you#even if i don't know you#you're more amazing than you think#I'm infinitely proud of you#stray kids fluff

Captivation
Masterpost | Read on Ao3
Soren considers his new guest.
For @augusnippets Day 25: Intimate Whumper
Contains: Intimate whumper, non-consensual touching, general creepy behavior
~~~
In a moment of indulgence, Soren allowed himself to lightly trace the contours of the stranger’s face.
The man’s gentle, delicate features gave him a look of dignity and serenity as he lay unconscious on the guest bed. His skin was soft as Soren caressed it, marred only by a single, long-faded scar across his cheek. And despite his veneer of fragility, Soren could smell magic in his blood, rich and potent and utterly alluring.
Were he an impulsive man, Soren would have taken the stranger’s wrist and sampled the delicacy that had all but stumbled into his lap. But many long centuries had taught Soren the value of patience. There was no need to be so hasty.
It wasn’t often, after all, that the Valley got visitors during winter. Even more rare did visitors carry such intriguing hints of the depths they concealed. There was a story to this man, and to his companion, that Soren was keen to unravel. And he had all the time in the world to learn everything there was to know about them.
As the man began to stir, Soren pulled his hand away. A smile settled on his face; he had a feeling that whoever this stranger was, Soren was going to like him very, very much.
#flicker in the dark#flicker in the dark side stories#silly writes#whump#whump writing#lord soren denholm oc#elze'ith sylrel oc#intimate whump#this is completely canon#just filing it as a side story for pacing#augusnippets day 25

I like this scene because when I was writing it I was thinking about how fun everything would be once Alberu joins the party ahaha
This poor guy will not only have to deal with Regressor Cale, but Regressor Choi Han AND Kim Roksoo. Those three will never let the opportunity to tease Alberu slip by. Also I find this one scene really funny because Alberu is absolutely thinking to himself ‘what the hell was that’ when he made eye contact with Cale, the young master of the Henituse family who is famous for his brutal honesty and words, is smiling at him in a way that reminded Alberu too much of himself.
Realistically, there should be no way the young master knows anything about him, not when they had only exchanged a few greetings in passing. Sure, the Henituse county was rich, but they had no reason to dig for information on him unless he provoked them. So why did it feel like Cale Henituse knew something very important about him?
#the rings of life is a very scary power lol#Poor Alberu#he doesn’t know that Cale already has a part of his secret figured out#anyway I think the rings of life works in a way where the rings of different species have differences#like obviously the rings of a plant and a human wouldn’t be the same#due to the difference between how the two experience time#and as 1/4 dark elf Alberu would also experience time differently from those who are human#since he’s still a dark elf#I thought of it as the rings being closer together#like y’all know how trees got layers cause of the bark they have over the years#something like that but they’re closer together because there’s more years to live#and it’s ’less time’ to them overall#rings of a Regressor would have them overlapping and flickering with the rings of the past and the rings of the present#maybe I should make a seperate post on how I think the power works/ looks even if it isn’t canon stuff#just rambling#tcf#lcf fanfic#og cale henituse#kim roksoo#Choi Han#the birth of a hero#lcf fanart#from [in the borderline] on ao3#lcf

now that artfight is over i can take some time to properly design them before i make new refs
#null havoc damage#ultraman showtime#allegro and lyle are basically done i think. i just gave allegro his arm fins back#i took them off at one point but after remembering that belial and geed have them im putting em back on#i still think lyle looks too simple but then again whenever i try to draw a showa ultra i go 'this is too simple'#so im leaving him as he is .#i adapted zero darkness' markings for zstar this time and i like it a lot i think the lightning bolt esc patterns look super cool#marize also looks too simple but alas... i dont want to overdesign her either#im also not sure i like the shade of pink i picked for her metal i might mess with her colors more#but i like the idea of her metallic bits being iridescent bc she looks like a fish#i did not attempt to do that in the shading though . which may be why it looks bad#idk. my power is flickering so im too scared to draw on my pc so ipad doodles are happening instead#i also dont know why i gave zstar that stupid ass smirk i just drew it on her and was like yeah ok#I DIDNT MEAN TO MAKE THE BOYS MATTE AND THE GIRLS SHINY. THATS JUST HOW IT SHOOK OUT#allegro could be shiny but when i tried to make him shiny it looked weird. might try again later#i think i just need to do a bunch of iterations with marize and then pick one and make myself be satisfied with it#or else im going to mess with her design for weeks on end. sorry mari

minor flashing tw
alright all y'all with ghost victims out there need to imagine with me the concept of spooky ghost child vic
the idea can have merit (i'm just not the most skilled at drawing things spooky yet sjdlflsjskdk)
individual frames under the cut because csp wouldn't give me a nice looking gif export of this
#i've got the barest idea of an au with spooky ghost child vic#basically instead of just revenge on alan (though there is merit to the idea)#instead they're fixated on taking second chosen and dark somewhere and just living out a fantasy of a family#cuz they've been stuck in the mentality of a somewhat traumatized 12 year old for a long time so some of their priorities and morals#aren't exactly stellar#kinda thinking they'd primarily have the “powerful amoral child” personality. which is terrifying when said amoral child is puppeteering you#also second's in the image cuz she decides to go for second first and try to manipulate them against alan and their friends#and when that doesn't work. welp. time for the strings#animator vs animation#ava victim#ava the second coming#ava second#ava orange#i drew this#tw flashing#not majorly it's more of a flicker but i'd rather play it safe#OH ALSO peep my current design for vic at creation! could be subject to change but it's there!

baby where ever we go
breathe a little bit closer
drive up, right into the storm
and fade into the night
we just know how
holding me with the tightness
a beautiful alliance
windows roll down
yeah, we got the timing
right down to a science
#love notes#allie x#science#we just know how#to flicker in the darkness#one kiss and we're sparking#putting on a show#but only for eachother#never for another#we've got this love down to a science#no one i'd rather spend my life with

While many assume Kurt's an optimist, that cannot be further from the truth. The man is a realist at heart. He can recognize when the world is coming down around them but he will not languish in that, he will not allow himself to be still and sink in the mire of pain and misery the world offers. Instead he pushes forward, works to make changes in what little he can do. Whether it be sugared words to make the bitterness of the world more palatable or supporting friends whose burdens threaten to crush them - he will exhaust himself trying to do what he can to be the change he wishes to see in the world.
#[I'm in a MOOD - so have this]#[He may not be able to fight the darkness inside others]#[but if he can be a spark of light that offers flickers of joy or peace even just for a moment then he has done his job]#Memorized Passages || Kurt HC#marvel cw

5 for jafitd 🥺💫
5: What part was hardest to write?
oh for sure the climax! it’s funny because this fic actually for the most part came so easily for me. the words just flowed whenever i sat down to write which is why i ended up writing 57k in 28 days :’) but when i got to the climax… i definitely got stuck.
everything was building up to that moment after all. i had to make sure the anticipation and tension would pay off!! i also had to reveal a lot of hidden info in a way that was natural and not just a sudden info dump of information. this resulted in me doing sort of a montage of moments in which louis is taken through time and space. i’m actually really happy with how it turned out <3
thank you little moon for sending 🌙

I think a violent thunderstorm would fix me
#izzy at home#I just want a dark and stormy night so bad#want the wind whipping through the trees and lightning splitting the sky#I want the building to creak and the lights to flicker

I'm writing a dimly lit scene and I'm stealing the "the light comes from the same place as the music" that people say about movies
otherwise the descriptions would suck
#personal#writing#yes the character is visible and you can tell even small details like cuts on their jacket#despite the only light source being dark purple and flickering#(i know i could just create better in-fiction lighting (like adding a lamp or smt) but i don't wanna)#it would ruin the feel of the scene

An actual screenshot of my edgy warlock :)
I love her :))
#personal#bg3#baldur's gate 3#even though for some reason i managed to fuck up#and have the horns white and not black#and i forgot to change the voice#so now she has a voice i dont like and not the one i chose in EA#oh well#i am 16h in i wont restart to fix#i love how her eyes flicker like flames#and almost glow in the dark#i just imagne her sitting around and those two green orbs just looking#hehe
