the fact that you have emote tags for specific characters is really cute

Thank you! I do it mostly because I have poor eyesight, that I really need to go see someone about (T.T), and it helps me navigate my blog and my tags without having to strain too hard at letters.

I'm not sure if anyone let you know, but in your recent commission post, you accidentally post the artistree link twice instead of posting a vgen one

oh shoot!! that was mb! thanks!

Seeing the previous messages that Al haitham is just the perfect build-up of angst. I wasn't ready for the final line, it sent me into tears.

yesssss..... imagine you fought over this one time at the beginning of your relationship (because you feel like he doesn't pay you enough attention and never texted you first) and he just religiously inserts it into his habit. and even though you're gone now, he can't bring himself to erase the habit of texting you good morning and good night every day.

it always made you so happy. you wouldn't ever forget to reply back to him. and those replies were the highlight of his days.

... now, seeing all the unread messages only brings him pain.

yet still, he can't help but continue doing it.

the doman enclave — [ requested by @latenightsenpai ]

The tento-okuri? It involves “sending lanterns up to the heavens.” It is a chance to say our final farewells to the spirits of the dead as they embark on their journey into the hereafter. The lanterns float on the wind, ever upward, to light the way.

*slaps down fandom* Rwby

Original ask meme post here!

I am so vastly out of date with RWBY, so please forgive me.

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Tyrian Callows, aka the scorpion faunus character who showed up for maybe ten minutes at most with next to no backstory but a kickass fight sequence. I think that has changed since I stopped watching RWBY since I've seen glimpses of him in current stuff, but at the time the guy didn't have much canon content going.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Oscar perhaps? I enjoyed his introduction and design back when I kept up with RWBY, and I dearly hoped that he hasn't had a crazy plot-twist change of character since then... >w>;;

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Doctor Oobleck! I recall he was a very quirky character, and there was just *something* about him I really enjoyed, between his personality and way of speaking.

Also Torchwick, though I think that comes more from the fact that I was heavily in the RP community for RWBY and met a lot of amazing Roman rpers at the time.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

Tyrian Callows. I literally saw this man and immediately decided to make an RP blog for him--and I apparently wrote him really well. That blog is still technically up if anyone is curious, at @solumscorpius. I used to put a ton of work into RP blogs back when I had the energy to do that sorta stuff.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

Ozpin, perhaps? I recall him being a particularly derisive character, though it's been long enough since I last touched the fandom (like three or four years) so most of the fine details are a bit muddled. I'm weak to powerful mentor figures so... not all that much a surprise to anyone.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

Qrow, dear Qrow, my sad little man. I only say that because he's got angst potential out the ass and I have dabbled in that a few times in previous writing projects.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

Salem? Never really had a character I outright loathed in RWBY at the time I kept up with it tbh

[destiny-islanders]

Congrats on becoming a finalist!!!! /cheeron

Ahh thank you ;u;

[recreationaldivorce]

@latenightsenpai this is a really wild misunderstanding of the recent wave of anti-protest laws in britain:

they were passed by the tory government, not by "people"? you make it sound like a popular referendum was held and the british electorate directly voted for the PCSC bill & all the other recent bills i cba to name.

these bills were not passed to deal with anti-lockdown/anti-vax/etc etc protests lmao, they were passed largely in response to groups like XR, the BLM protests, and most likely Palestine Action too

"when we enact rules" who tf is "we"??? seriously who do you think wrote and passed these bills? you write like they were either written & passed by the british public (rather than the current ruling party's government) or written and passed by... ~the left~? which is wild if you think the latter; these are the laws of the conservative government intended to prevent the left from protesting and to incarcerate those on the left who protest anyway...

generally really baffled as to why you'd say all this when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. it's fine to have no idea what you're talking about, but in that case, just don't say anything? don't just make shit up?

sad that the deeply backwards british people do not realise the despotic regime they live under. president xi you must liberate this totalitarian regime with ZTZ-99s and hydrogen bombs

I am unsure if those are interesting. Hopefully yes, since I have never put anything about myself here. I... tried to be succinct.

1. I used to study Pharmacology. If I had not dropped out, I would have graduated last year (being in healthcare during the COVID pandemic looool). Nowdays I'm an Architecture student. I had two weeks of in-person classes before we were forced to stay inside 🙄🙄

2. I used to be artistically active when I was a child. Even painted the traditional way! Unfortunately all the paintings are resting in pieces (lmao I have moved too much and they got RUINED) and I barely remember any technique or anything useful.

3. I am disconnected from western media in general. I don't watch any shows and rarely watch movies, so I don't know about any celebrity...? or anything that is currently Trending™. When it comes to music is no different. I only listen to jpop/jrock, particularly doujin/independent artists. Tried kpop for a while and even had a favorite group, but it takes too much work to be a fan of real people.

Tell me about Snowstorm!

WIP Ask Game:  Post the names of files in your WIP folder, regardless of how  non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title  that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell  them something about it! and then tag as many people as you like.

This is one I think I just need to admit where it ends, much as I like the beginning of the next morning (detailed in the excerpt below). That, or I need to find the point in the next morning. Perhaps it’s meant to be a 2 part story? Not sure.I wanted to get some explanations and arguments in here but that’s hard to write and dunno if it’s needed.

It also follows through on the idea of Thancred being a bit touch-starved, especially early in the HW patches before Antitower and the kick in the face he got there. In this case, it’s while he and Aeryn are still entirely platonic friends, though twinges of Feelings begin to get noticed around this time--and initially fought against, due to that “but we’re friends and colleagues” issue further complicated by the aforementioned kick in the face.

It’s a spiritual successor to “Sandstorm” which is about them getting stuck on the way to their first mission in Thanalan versus Ifrit together. "Snowstorm” is their first duo mission since Thancred’s rejoined the team in Coerthas and highlights some of the changes in each other separately and as a team, or is meant to anyway; it’s still a WIP for a reason!

Excerpt Below:

--

Morning came, though it was hard to tell. The wind still blew and the high windows were only a little lighter. Thancred blinked and looked around, momentarily confused as to where he was and who was draped over him.

Ah, right; the storm, the abandoned farmhouse, and his rather embarrassing nocturnal episode leading to being cradled like a babe. Speaking of.

At some point in the night positions had switched; he was on his back now, Aeryn using him as a pillow, arms and legs wrapped around him for warmth, her fine black hair in his face. Not the most unpleasant way to wake up, he had to admit.

Although he was uncomfortably aware that he just woken, he was only in his smalls from the waist down, and he knew exactly where her thigh was. She was still sound asleep, too. Godsdammit.

Also it was going to be cold as the Hell of Ice when they did finally move out of the little nest of blankets. So may as well stay put a little while longer and not at all examine any other reason why that seemed like a nice idea.

Thancred shut the mental door firmly there. Aeryn was a friend and colleague, and they’d both been through too much hell in recent moons. His time of isolation had affected his mind and physical reactions when he had been literally freezing and she had only done what was necessary to keep him in good health. Had their positions been reversed, he’d have done the same with no thought of anything but her safety.

Well, he may still have made a few jokes, just to make her scoff and smile and snark back the way she often did when he teased. He had truly missed that.

Aeryn stirred; not quite awake yet, but getting there, the warm weight of her against his side simply comfortable.

Thancred frowned and thought for a moment. How long had it been since he had touched, and been touched, by another person so intimately? Moons, certainly, even counting his brief tryst with Hilda on arriving in Ishgard. That had been...different, in every way, than this; more desperation than anything, sating an immediate need for skin-to-skin contact and even brief company that wasn’t insectoid.

All right then; how long since he had experienced an innocently friendly, intimate touch with no expectation of sexual reciprocation? He really couldn’t say. That seemed like it ought to be an issue, perhaps.

A sleepy, confused “mrf?” came from the direction of his chest.

Thancred looked down. “Good morning--I think.” The windows were still snow-covered.

Aeryn raised her head, blinking the sleep from her grey eyes. “Guess we didn’t freeze,” she mumbled, pushing away--then leaning back in, as that had let a rush of chilled air into their nest. “S’it me, or did it get colder?”

“Get the fire going again,” he said, prodding her. “Necessity, unfortunately, demands I rise.”

She made an adorably petulant whining noise even as she reluctantly got up, the air much colder once the blankets had fallen away and they were separated. 

“This is much too cold for my Thavnairian blood,” she sniffed as she poked at the banked fire, adding fuel and magic. She had been sure to turn completely away from him, he noted.

“You’re half-Coerthan,” Thancred replied as he got up, keeping a blanket around him as he checked his pants. They were cold and stiff, but dry; the rest could be fixed with wear. “Surely that affords you some acclimation.”

“I left when the place still had proper seasons,” she countered, reaching for their meager rations.

“Of course,” he replied dryly while tying his bandana back on; his left eye was already beginning to throb, especially when he happened to glance her way. “Be just a moment.” Pants back on--and another layer of socks added to his feet, since those had dried too--he left the main room for the even colder hall.

[owlespresso]

Can I have some Clay plz

There was no prompt specified, so I took a few from an ask meme I reblogged. The meme can be found HERE.I love Caduceus. Through him I can live out my fantasy of a man being nice to me.Tip Jar

🌹 = How would your muse react to romantic gestures, expected or not? 

Whilst Caduceus has little to no romantic experience due to his isolated upbringing, his natural intuitiveness usually lets him know what certain gestures mean. No matter what, he’s always touched when you go out of your way to show him affection. Whether it be a simple peck on the forehead or a gift, he responds with the utmost gratefulness, embracing you or starting to brew you a cup of tea.

😘 = Does your muse like to flirt? Do they like to be flirted with? 

He enjoys the general back and forth that comes with flirting, and picks up the art rather quickly. It doesn’t take long for him to start initiating, grasping your hand and murmuring soft, sweet nothings into your ear. Most of it is light, sweet compliments, fluff not too thought-provoking but delightful to hear nonetheless.

💅🏻 = Does your muse always try to look their best around their partner, or are they comfortable wearing anything around them?

Caduceus will be comfortable with his partner whether they are dressed in the finest of silks or in a potato sack, and he wants someone who will be the same for him. Partners should be able to let down their guard with each other, be comfortable with each other. He makes sure anyone who he is in a relationship with knows that.
