#looking for an equilibrium

[lizardinkart]

In the phase of life where I just thumbnail a bunch of shit and then periodically poke at the sketches for months until one of them is finished, like eating dinner as a kid when you aren’t hungry.

Calling this my “tired 20s.”

"The shackles holding you back are but a mere product of the imbalance within your life. You must accept your insignificance for proper happiness."

An Emanator of Equilibrium who originates from the dead planet Alpha Zedara. She has stripped herself of all mortal constraints, even most of her identity, to reach pure balance within the world. Seen as cold and unfeeling, the mysterious woman is never encountered within one place for too long as she's sworn to never get attached once again.

Alas, as a former mortal with remants of her heart still intact — Even an emanator reaches its limits in some situations.

Equilibrium Chapter 1 Excerpt

Danny slid through the door, expecting the home defenses to spring to action as he was still invisible and intangible. But they didn't. He paused, confused, and left wrongfooted by the unexpected lack of weaponry. Something beeped. "Danny?" A voice called, his mother's. It sounded uncertain and hopeful. Danny hesitantly let his invisibility drop, and he took a tentative step forward. When no weapons emerged to shoot him, he walked slowly to the kitchen to find… his parents, Jazz and… Sam and Tucker? He froze again, confused and uncertain and ready to run. "Danny!" Multiple voices rang out, all of them relieved. "Oh, my baby," mom said, her voice wavering and her eyes filling with tears. She was up and across the room in seconds, wrapping him in a hug. Danny stood stock still, frozen and rigid for a moment before he melted into the embrace, wrapping his arms around his mother and sobbing into her shoulder. They were the same height now, yet her hug made him feel like he was six again, and everything bad in the world could be solved by her hug. "It's alright. I've got you, baby boy, it's okay," mom soothed him, running a trembling hand through his hair while he choked on his tears and snot. His hands fisted in the rubbery material of her jumpsuit, unwilling to let go of a comfort he thought he'd never have again. When he had calmed down, she led him to the table, sitting him between her and dad. Mom kept an arm around his shoulders, grounding him.

Just a small little tidbit because I sent Chapter 1 and 2 off to a friend who so graciously and kindly offered to beta this fic for me after I joked about tossing it in her lap because she indirectly caused it to spawn.

Chapter 1 is sitting at 7k words at the moment, Chapter 2 at 5.5k.

Does anyone else think of the differences in the way their wizard’s magic manifests?

Like does your wizard use some other type of magic via combining multiple types? Do their spells look different from the norm? Do they use a spell in a different way than the norm?

[datastate]

40!! also 16 25 and 34. asking for a friend [also that sequence of numbers is nice to look at]

40: WHO I WISH I COULD BE

hmmm... i wish i was capable of being more social, i suppose. i know a lot of people, and i'd really like to keep consistent contact with all of them so they know how much i think of them. but between many different disabilities affecting me + this transitory period of my life, it does get really difficult to maintain that sadly... i have been trying to work toward this though! and i'm sure once i'm in a more stable place, it'll be just a bit easier on me 🫶

16: I'LL LOVE YOU IF...

well <3 you wouldn't have to worry about that, but in a general sense...

honestly... what i value most in people comes down to authenticity, which often goes in hand with passion. with both friends and with romantic interests, what really draws me in is the impression that they are sincere and driven to accomplish admirable things. naturally, everyone has some pieces of themselves that they keep hidden, but as someone who is similar, i don't think that necessarily negates the genuineness of what they present nor affects its importance. as is always the case, actions speak louder than words; whatever their disposition may be (of cheer, apathy, so on), that awareness of who they are while they still take the time to balance their personal priorities and consideration of others (implicitly shown as part of those priorities, then) is something that will always strike my heart.

25: MY IDEA OF A PERFECT DATE

hrm... i don't usually linger on these sorts of thoughts. but i think for something special, i'd enjoy going to a nice restaurant for dinner so i would have an excuse to dress up all nice and feel pretty. i could eat most anything, even if i have a preference for dishes with rice and with a fair amount of spice, so i wouldn't mind any choice they offer. after eating, it'd be nice to either relax at a park or head back to either their/my place; doubly so if it was raining, because i always find that soothing, though of course that's not within anyone's control... and just converse or play a game or cuddle for the rest of the night i suppose :P

i probably would've also liked to do something earlier that day leading up to the 'date dinner' section, like going to a museum or art gallery or aquarium, but that can also be fairly costly, so i wouldn't mind leaving that for another time. realizing now though, that it is a little funny that even in my idea of a 'perfect date' there are still some things i'll be lenient on, but. i don't know aehaha... i'd feel a bit bad putting up expectations on the other person. i'd probably be content as long as i get to spend time with them.

34: WHAT I FIND ATTRACTIVE IN WOMEN

aesthetically, there is. very little that i'd consider unattractive in women, though i don't usually put much stock in it (i mean, gestures, online friends and all; we don't typically see each other's physical appearances. and this is the sort of attitude i usually carry in-person too.)

so, well... i'd have to refer back to my answer on 16. and this isn't the sort of thing i'd be able to tell on appearance alone; it usually takes repeated exposure, though there have been people who do speak and i instantly have that 'oh, how lucky i must be to have met you' realization, however briefly the interaction might be. i'm not always so confident as to reach out to every one of them, though as i said above as well, this is also something i've been trying to rectify.

beyond that though, i suppose i am usually endeared mostly when i see. either the way that they help me/other people, or what makes them laugh. i find both of these really sweet and indicative of their character on the whole, especially if it's an interesting contrast to the typical way they carry themselves (i am not immune to a tall emo girl offering to get a library book for me because they see i have a cane. that was very, very sweet...); i don't really know though... it really is rare that i experience attraction and not simply infatuation. i think the last time i really felt the former was several years ago now, though you'd know that.

[transtrucy]

me frantically googling and realizing trucy will need a booster seat in the next red tape chapter

[cedar-sunshine]

my boys are so comically intertwined. They're two halves of one whole but it wasn't a neat split, they're torn remnants of what could have been a person and there's pieces missing and things that they picked up but they're both roughly half of a whole, not cut nearly, but torn apart by hand, sorted into mismatched piles. They were always supposed to be together and they will do everything in their power to avoid this until it happens. It's not sun and moon symbolism, its life and death, day and night, the same font saying two reflected things. They're interchangeable and complete opposites and the exact same

It's just the vibe I get from the way he moves (esp. during some throws) but I bet Bryan has impeccable balance, he could probably walk some surprisingly narrow surfaces, no problem

"That definitely was framing there! And I'm about to prove it to ya full on Yanfei! In a way that sneaky text never would be able too!" Creamyinators. Seriously!? Who'd just go and say outright she's on the cream team!? Such resolution! Caelus's eyes were driven with a sense of fiery gold as he steps forth. Both of his hands would settle upon the Xiezhi's shoulders, keeping them comfortably clutched as he looks into the depths of her emerald heaven. For an instant, he has to re-establish focus due to the beauty she naturally carries with her. As a wind drifts by them across the Feldspar, it seems as if the shaded skies above would be perfect for sweet words to be set. In Caelus's case? "Would you please sit on my face?"

"...."

This was the first time she truly understood the weight of the rumors surrounding the trailblazer. Rarely did she engage in such baseless gossip but now? Seeing this deranged man standing it front of her? Oh she was starting to connect the dots.

"Have you lost your mind? Are you unwell?" Yanfei blinked at him a few times, trying to find an ounce of sanity still left in him. Why would he ask her that? The question was so out of left field that she couldn't fathom where his head was right now. Maybe this was one of those shows were they pranked innocent bystanders...

Maybe that strike the other day actually severed some connections in his brain or something. Publicly asking her to sit on his face was undeniably the worst possible way he could have handled this situation – not to mention the nerve to say please as if that would magically make this acceptable. "Caelus... In what universe would that clear your name?"
