The story so far...

1 . "I recognize him," Cirilla says, referring to the painted face of her Grandfather, "But I don't think I've ever seen her before."

Morvran follows her guesture to the woman depicted next to the late Emperor. "That is Emperor Fergus' wife, Empress Mathilde."

"Oh, is it! So tell me, dear future consort," she says with a sharp smile, "If the position of spouse to the Imperator is such an honor, why is this the first time I've ever seen a painting of this woman?"

Morvran, well trained to get straight to the point by now, simply tsks.

"As usual, princess, your family likes to make things unnecissarily complicated. The issue, as it so often does, originates with your father, who is the son of Emperor Fergus, but not the son of Empress Mathilde. Which, of course, makes having too many pictures of her around a bit... awkward."

2. [Morvran starts narrating from this point on]

Emperor Fergus and Empress Mathilde only ever had one child.

Princess Cecilia.

She was born after a series of miscarriages, a very difficult pregnancy, and a near doubly fatal birth.

People say it was due to the Emperor's soft heart that another pregnancy was never attempted by the Imperial couple, but I believe the truth may be that the emperor never saw the need for another child.

He had decided from the moment she was born that Cecilia would be his successor.

___

Princess Cecilia was betrothed and wed at fourteen, to quell unrest and whispers of insurrection.

The marriage was not a happy one.

___

At sixteen, the Princess fell very ill.

Numerous mages and healers were tasked with finding a cure for her - yet despite all the riches Fergus could throw at them, none succeeded in curing his daughter...

3. A month after Cecilia had first fallen ill, the last mage who was called in to cure her, mournfully proclaimed: "the Princess will not see the light of a new dawn."

That night, under the shadow cast by this mage's hanged corpse, the Emperor met with a woman.

Allegedly, he had been expecting her. Summoned her, even.

You should know that in the intelligence reports from the time, the word "summoned" is used in a rather untraditional fashion.

The somewhat hysterical palace staff seemed to believe the woman, who called herself Àva, was a demon, whom the Emperor had summoned in his desperation.

I don’t believe in gatekeeping at all but if you flat out admit to me that you’ve consumed little to ZERO of the canon media and have gotten all of your information based off of reading fluffy fic with woobified characters, I will not be taking ANY of your fandom opinions or meta seriously

What if I redesigned some horses to fit MY favorite narrative trope: fallen gods and forgotten myths of old? Anyways.

Twilight’s mentor is a strange one. In a world of twilit planes forever shrouded in mystery, the older unicorn Lest and her adopted student Twilight are one in many common travelers, migrating the pitted wastelands and eeking survival within settlements that spring up around the glowing meteor shards. Despite living with Lest for the last four years, Twilight can’t help but seek answers to where her brother has gone— and in the process, perhaps dig a bit too deeply into the complexities of gods far older and dangerous then she can truly fathom.

On the otherhand, Celestia “Lest” Sol is having a terrible millenium. Her sister is no longer her sister, her student teleported herself halfway across the continent, and she got herself kidnapped by an old rival trying to attune with the elements of harmony to overthrow the current ruler of Equestria.

At least she gets a toxic yuri moment.

Meanwhile, Chrysalis is having a great time. She’s got kingdoms to conquer and people to feed and a waning god to taunt.

(The Selene Grace hates the sun monarch they deposed five centuries ago as they stay chained to their post, keeping the lunar and solar bodies from crashing into each other. Luna misses her sister, and the easier world where they haven’t hurt each other beyond reparation. Nightmare Moon misses their monstrosity, trapped in a host who’s grief has poisoned them with empathy.

Things are bound to tip. The celestial bodies are not bodies, but prisons, and the amalgamations we call alicorns the key. And something desperately wants to be freed…)

Anyways:

My mane 6 redesign here!

And my luna and celestia redesigns here!

Gotham has giant rats. Like, could eat your dog-size rats. Kids who live in the worse parts of town have to be wary due to rumors of the rats committing muggings.

And here we see Jason Todd, about to experience his first rat fist fight.

mustard on the beat, ho- MUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAARD Someone make it stop, make it fucking stop. I spent all week hyping myself up to gather up all my work sketches like a scrapbook and clean it all up to post here, and then Kendrick had to surprise drop on a Friday morning and ruin my work day and my headspace all weekend long.

Anyway, here's a dangerous dreams sketch dump.

It's been a long quiet, but RL had taken such a fucking toll that I had a real hard time finding the fucks to get creative. Who knows how much this past US presidential election will fuck up the entire rest of my life, but I'll take solace in finding community and in the little things and in Andor Season 2 and in the telling of The Stars.

Now that I got this out of the way, guess it's time to go fucking write some fucking words.

Thinking about Shockwave being a human in that mecha pilot Jazz au. (au of an au?? Sure)

I’m picturing an eyepatch, buzz-cut, sinister voice and even sinister unethical human experimentation— that drift technology had to come about from someone, right?

They call him Shockwave because he just showed up one day and revolutionized the mech field overnight. Or that’s just his name, who knows.

Very Doc-Ock from Spider-Man situation going on for him; he found Cybertronian or Quintesson tech and integrated it into himself, now he’s got mechanical arms and a gigantic gun for an arm or whatever, and he works as fast as possible to replicate it on other people, no matter how unethical or morally dubious, because if he could do it to himself, then he can do it to others for the sake of science. (Maybe someone else did the experimenting on him??)

Idk I just need the angry and violent and visceral Shockwave personality carrying over to him being the Top Guy on earth who is responsible for finding people to test new and developing drift technology on. Some of those first pilots probably died during the drift connection, and he just kept putting new people into the mecha over and over until something stuck

Maybe he’s responsible for sending out recruitment programs that test people’s DNA to see if they’re drift compatible and THEN they have to go through all that rigorous training and testing

[buckdiazlafd]

the people i follow have made way better posts about this but just to reiterate: a buddie blood transfusion would eat so bad. either one donating to either one would cause such extreme levels of horny in-love derangement that i don’t even know which scenario is best. Eddie donating to buck? part of eddie inside buck? yayyy literally what buck has always wanted. he’d trace the veins on his wrist and forearm swearing he could feel eddie there. Buck donates to eddie? the Ultimate act of service? buck was so so good for eddie, good enough to save his life! eddie feels lightheaded with it as buck plants kisses up and down the inside of eddies wrist, eddies other hand running thru bucks hair. “you saved me buck” he would whisper reverently and they’d both be soooooo crazy and wonderful about it.
