#nearly done with the first draft

[saphstories]

Hey there, Shadow. What's up?

Someone's curious. Yeah, this is the big project I'm working on. Wanna see?

Something tells me he isn't that impressed... or maybe he's just annoyed that it isn't yet finished? Don't worry, Shadow, it'll be up and ready soon!

(Nearly done with the first draft of the Three Sovereigns: Book One!)

When I first saw portal au I misunderstood. Love the actual au, but bill as glados is a thought to share

..... Well dang, that's a fantastic premise! Bill WOULD make an excellent GLaDOS, and Dipper would clearly be a perfect test subject.

1899 modern village AU thoughts because I want to:

Elliot is alive and recovering from a serious illness that nearly destroyed the family and became the catalyst for Maura breaking free from not just Henry but Ciaran. Basically Ciaran brought the worst of Maura out during the hospitalization process and it broke their relationship. 

Maura and Daniel decided as a unit to move far away and start fresh. They both got lecturing jobs at an up-and coming university on the coast, and went house hunting in the neighbouring villages. They fell in love with a cottage in a tiny fishing town and bought it.

The town is called Kerberos. Its official population is a little under 2,000. Their main source of employment is the fishing industry, with a predominant French research group and a small fishing company run by migrated Germans. There’s a dominating immigrant population in town due to the fishing jobs, mostly from Germany but also Denmark, Hong Kong, Spain, Poland and more.

Maura and Daniel work at Prometheus University. Maura takes a break from experiments in favour of teaching neuroscience, but soon enough she gets into research again and works on projects with her colleagues. 

Daniel works with computer science and insists that all of his students enroll in one ethics-themed subject.

There aren’t enough kids in town for there to be a school, so Elliot has to commute to an elementary in a nearby town. There’s a school bus that ends up collecting him and Ada every morning and drops them off every afternoon.

The Franklin-Solace family (no way Maura kept the Singleton name), live side by side with Eyk, who’s in charge of the largest (and only) fishing company in town. He’s in therapy and recovery after the aftermath of a tragic family incident, and bonds quickly with his neighbours. Maura and him talk a lot about loss. He’s on endearing grunt-terms with Daniel. Elliot thinks he’s a bit weird, but likes asking him about nautical facts and showing him pictures of bugs.

Ada’s family owns a pub that they’ve styled in their home country fashion. Iben is a strict matriarch and both of the older children work at the pub at least part time. Tove has complete control over the German fishers (often pretending to cut off Franz) while Krester is a little clumsy with orders. 

A lot of the fishers live in a larger apartment block or in smaller groups in smaller houses. Franz, Wilhelm and Eugen live together, while Olek bunks with Darrel and Landon, as well as Jérôme when he moves to town.

Jérôme works on the French side of the docks and applied to get transferred over because he has a bone to pick with Lucien. Him and Clémence grow close quickly, and frankly the French trio becomes a mess on all sides and directions.

Lucien scammed his way into becoming the top representative for the French research team, but the real leader on this side is Virginia Wilson, who is also the town’s collector of gossip. She knows everything about everyone and cannot stand being left in the dark.

Ling Yi and Yuk Je moved to town a couple of years ago when Yuk Je got a managerial job for the docks. Ling Yi is enrolled to Prometheus and decides to take Maura’s class out of curiosity. She often spends hours at the campus library reading syllabus next to Olek, who is taking computer science part-time alongside his job on the docks.

Olek and Krester both take computer science, but Krester is on full-time. Krester also gets into an affair with a Spanish art history lecturer, which gets super awkward when said lecturer takes his Portuguese boyfriend for lunch at Krester’s family restaurant.

When Sebastian comes back from sea, Maura and Daniel tense up because they recognize him as a former colleague at Henry Singleton’s company. They might never get along, but the three get used to living in the same town.

Clémence joined Lucien when he was moved to Kerberos but doesn’t really have much to do so she tries to make projects for herself. She befriends Tove and starts taking random classes at Prometheus in search of a passion.

Ramiro has an explosive on-again-off-again relationship with Ángel and picks up work at the German docks to get some space. He also finds a weird companionship by discussing religion with Anker at the pub.

The amount of cultural exchange and multilingual antics in town is hilarious. The pub has Danish titles for their meals. The Germans sing sea shanties on late nights there and teach them to Tove. Daniel and Elliot gossip in Welsh when they don’t want anyone else to understand. Ling Yi and Olek are learning each other’s birth languages behind each other’s backs as a surprise. Ángel tries to convince Krester to get boquerones on the menu. As one of her antics, Clémence organizes a French New Wave screening festival. Virginia insists on trying to make the national holidays of every represented country in town official days off in Kerberos.

Eyk tries to take the kids fishing once, but Elliot finds the other fishermen scary and prefers the look of shellfish anyway. 

Ada steals Maura’s research notes while she’s eating dinner at the pub once and begs to be taken under her wing immediately.

Maura and Daniel have a fascination with late 60′s-early 70s music and style, which is reflected in the interior of their new home. There are a lot of jokes at the expense of their wallpaper.

Maura and Daniel have lunch together every day on campus and become the it-couple for students who are craving gossip out of boredom and procrastination. One time Eyk visits and sits down for lunch with Maura alone, causing all of the students to theorize that there’s a split or a love triangle. When he visits again and Daniel joins them for lunch, some of the same students jump from being ‘team Solace’ or ‘team Captain’ to shipping them as a trio. Daniel’s the first to find out because Olek snitches, and he laughs so hard he loses his breath.

rereading some of my ttw writing the other day brought the story more to the surface my brain again but my brain's not latching onto anything abt it in particular atm so it feels like the equivalent of having an animal or small child staring at you expecting something when you don't have anything for them

[seagullcharmer]

so many things i want to do, so much art i want to make

[lit-in-thy-heart]

words not wording ;-;

[dawntheduckrb]

Got a better angle on the first one, finished the second one. I didn't plan on going to sleep until I got all three done but I managed to get a sore throat this morning, which hasn't gone away, and now it hurts to breathe so it's beddy-bye time for me (I'm hoping I'm not getting sick for a third time this year lol)

[byanyan]

love when i'm trying to write a reply and my brain starts headcanoning about something completely unrelated, making it that much harder to focus

[risingsunresistance]

my goal is to have a drawing done before april 16th so that i can have a silly art post for the resistance anniversary

the hardest challenge of my entire life will be restraining myself and refusing to post it early because i have finished art at the ready and I Have To Share It

[darewolfcreates]

The doobles I did of nightlight in class :]

Violence and sadness undercut.

Most of these were drawn in class on days where I forgot to bring something to eat before class...
