six sentences sunday

The slack, peaceful expression of Zhao Yunlan asleep, his body curled toward the main room. That instinctive way he reached for Shen Wei, patting along his shoulder for his forearm, for his wrist. Even just earlier that night, sitting in companionable quiet on the couch, Zhao Yunlan’s hand tapping along the leather until it found Shen Wei’s ankle and settled there, skin against skin. As if Zhao Yunlan had gotten used to it too, touching. Their bodies as close as their lives were tangled now. Shen Wei would miss every piece of it.

haha. hurting my own feelings in the down draft of the answer fic! i was initially worried i wouldn't have enough thoughts about that gap between the knife scene and the next scene to write a whole fic about it, but it's starting to seem that the solution is simply: cramming in as much domestic weilan flashback as narratively possible :3

[intotheelliwoods]

Yeah aha 👍This week along with last week were midterms too, which was fine up until my car decided to break down on me Sunday! Still recovering from all... that atm, so sorry for the lack of art from me! I promise I am still here and alive and well :)

Today I learned about the musical Into The Woods....

Haha theres so many interpretations for my username....

My username 'elliwoods' is just a play on the name Elwood, yknow like the blues brother! 'intotheelliwoods' I will admit.... I forget most of its origin but I think I was slightly inspired from the streamer inthelittlewood even though I dont even watch him pfft-

Gifts from Mr Witch and Mr Light

(Frost) - Killmoulis Spectacles

Wonderous item, rare As with most encounters with the Killmoulis, they bring things both helpful and harmful - in the case of spectacles, it can be considered harmful to other fae. These wooden glasses help the wearer find lost objects. They allow a person to roll with advantage on Wisdom perception checks made to find something hidden. A side effect of this is that the wearer can also see invisible fae creatures

(Gideon) - Forlarrens Remorse [dagger]

very rare A plain looking dagger, Forlarrens Remorse holds a dark history. The Forlarrens are creatures caught between good and evil, and this dagger reflects their curse. When the user gets a nat20, the dagger burns causing 1d12 fire damage in addition to the crit. Any time you got the killing blow, for 1 hour you are under the effect of a Bless spell (Bless spell - Whenever a target makes an attack roll or a saving throw before the spell ends, the target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the attack roll or saving throw)

(Gricko) - Mouse Harness

Wonderous item, rare This tiny harness coud easily fit upon a common field mouse. If harnessed, the mouse grows to a Large size and gains the statistics of a fully trained riding horse, complete with full-size riding gear. This effect lasts for 8 hours, after which the mouse shrinks back down to its normal size

(Kremy) - Great Fiddle

Wonderous item, uncommon This tiny fiddle is made of unusual materials more akin to an insects carapace than wood. The Fiddle strings buzz and hum at the slightest touch, reminiscent of a cricket. This is a plesant tune that allows Charisma performance rolls made with advantage. There's also a special tune that is softer to the ear and cannot be heard conciously. If this special tune is played one turn prior to a Charisma persuasion check, it may be rolled with advantage. If this tune is played one turn after a creature is cast at with one of the following spells, the duration is doubled: Animal Friendship, Calm Emotions, Calm Person, Dominate Person, Friends, Hypnotic Pattern, Mass Suggestion, Suggestion This special tune can be used once and rquires a short rest before it can be used again.

(All) - Wand of the Pact Breaker (given to Frost)

A wand made of dark yew wood that is twisted and gnarled and very very old and it curls around a glistening opalescent gem at the very tip of it. When you look inside of it, you can see the futtering of what looks like a swarm of colorfull butterflies. Requires attunement of entire party for 24 hours. The only thing you've ever seen that can break a fae pact. It has 3 charges and cannot be recharged. Once the final charge has been used, the wand will cease to exist.

To-do list:

Get the 100,00 gold pieces by the end of the month (ep.1)

3rd day of Campaign, less than 1 hour till Coronation - the Coronation time

9th of the month (19 days until The Debt deadline)

Happiness Meter

+4 (MAX) - Candlefoot and Palasha are finally reunited (ep.14)

Random Info

Man whose name Lexi Pott's was unable to say was going to "wake her" and she was very scared for Party meeting him. When they mentioned name Zybilna, she said they "already were too deep" (ep.1)

After Lexi Pott died, Party was surrounded by Fairy Ring made up from mushrooms (ep.1)

Kenku that has been terrorising the Carnival is a Warlock and her patron is Zybilna (ep.5)

More rants below, I’m sorry for so many rants this week, I am a very loquacious person

Just a lil update for you all!!! And if you like a series, no matter how small [@me with Immortal Hunter and Benignant mischief ] you can ask for a second part if you enjoyed it, and I am happy to oblige!!! Though it may take a while, usually one-two weeks

Check out Chapter 1 here!

[rickswh0r3]

THE TEA IS HERE

okay i need to tell this crazy story lmao. first of all, i need you to know that i’m 20 and i know what i’m doing. (please don’t judge me lol).

okay so i've been working 6 days a week at my job since september. i'm one of the 2 people working there every day, so i'm pretty friendly with the bosses, including this manager. 

this manager is 38 years old (im going to hell) and is married. (i'm definitely going to hell). he doesn't have kids (not that THIS makes me innocent) BUT THATS WHY IM ASKING YOU NOT TO JUDGE ME.

i started fantasizing about him a little when he started making innuendos about me. and i was like OKAY. I KINDA LIKE IT. i have to say, he's not really the "hot type" guy, but i can't explain why i'm attracted to him. but he smells like cologne, so...

anyway, last friday, i went to a sort of work party. of course he was there. we drank, and the whole time, i could feel his gaze LMAO but i was trying to avoid it because i was with my friends yk.

anyway, people left, and in the end it was just the two of us, ready to leave the party but we talked a bit, we were clearly tipsy, and........ he kissed me OMG AM I IN A MOVIE and, he started to touch me but i was like, GIRL, i’m not doing it here, let’s get to my bed. we ordered an Uber, HE WAS SO TOUCHY IN THE TAXI LIKE KISSING MY NECK IT WAS HARD TO RESIST🫠

we arrived at my place and IT happened. it was the best sex of my life. experienced guys are something else….

anyway, now we still see each other every day at work OFC and we act like nothing happened in front of everyone. like not even stolen kisses or anything because you never knowwww but he doesn't mind taking a good look at me. and i like it. 

tbh i don't know what he told his wife (i feel kinda bad now) but i know that it's not a happy marriage, so... and well, it's done and i had fun! thank you for reading :)

[sandy-castle]

Here is my very late update post for starman’s staff.

The Staff

I’ve been trying a few different ways to make the head of the staff. The clay was too heavy. It broke immediately after I took this photo:

I’ve moved on to trying out paper mache. It’s not perfect but it’s a lot better than the clay. Also I’m running out of time to experiment, so the final one will be paper mache.

The Jacket

My wonderful mom has been helping me with the jacket. Here was our first draft for the patch. We fixed the color of the center dot and better spaced the outer ring. Also, seen in the top photo, I have acquired a sheriff badge.

[taegularities]

hi hi. uhm small thing regarding cmi. if you're a reader, do lmk what you think please 🤍

[fruitybashir]

cant share any more spoiler free snippets so as todays teaser have some of @lila-ramonda's commentary in the google doc :) ♡

[magixfairyix]

LESBIAN GODS, GIVE ME THE POWER TO GET A CHAPTER OF BLICY PANIC, A CHAT FULL OF QUEERS, AND A HEART OF TWO OUT BEFORE THE END OF SATURDAY.

I WILL GIVE YOU GAY BS AS AN OFFERING.

WE'RE GONNA RISE AND GRIND BICTHES AND GET SHIT DONE.

[a-sad-mage]

Blakk's freaking weird to draw-

He's a bunch of rectangles piled on each other, and his face proportions are wild. Should have moved the eyes down more :/

I think my main issue is that I don't normally draw human men, lmao.

Anyway, I feel like after having been exposed to Dark Water for so long, he's gained some minor Dark Bane features. And we see this in his cannon design already.

Pale skin and slightly pointed ears. I played the pointed ear thing up a little because I like that being an indicator that Blakk isn't 100% human anymore. I also like to think he's got fangs and that the Dark Water also affected his eyes a little, hence the red dots in them.

Also, idk why, but I love the fact his eyes are naturally an olive green?

So many villains have, black, purple, brown/hazel red, red eyes, but Blakk's eyes being green, to me, hits home the fact that he really was just a man before bringing consumed by power. And just adds the level of, 'he physically dose not look human, but his eyes do' if that makes sense?

-

And why did a draw Blakk?

Because I need to keep my reputation of being a villain apologist, that's why.
