#not sorry zephy

[fate-tumbles]

I hope I can prove through my actions and not my pleas for help anymore, that I am okay.

#betterthan #butneverthesame

I have no idea what North Cack is but as soon as it came on my Spotify (since I left my joycrumb #joy #breadcrumb #hansel #gretel #weird #ass #witch #butmakeher #anauntie #i finally see you now #I too love to gossip girl one day #xoxo

But there's a time to be a black sheep, and a time to reclaim the AUNTIE title. Now I KNOW you KNOW how much I KNOW how much YOU mean to ME.

And #viceversace #thisoneisforthereal #aunties #ogs

I was scared I may be queer-baiting/being performative when dancing like a crazy person, but now I KNOW:

Same same, but different. Just like us

“Happy Birthday!

I don’t know if this present will get to you in time, but I think it’s only fair I return the favor after the presents I got from you for my birthday a while back! I was told you wanted to speak with me but I haven’t gotten to meet with you since then! Do stop by my office, we can meet up and have a talk if you’re still up for it! Hope you had a great birthday!

Regards,

Anika Kiyozaki from Akihabara Division”

With a smile, Yuuya Kanata closed the letter that had been taped to the outside of the package that had just been delivered on his front doorstep.

Last he remembered, he had been curious about the uncanny similarity of his and Kiyozaki-san’s eyes. The package that was now sitting in his living room brought it back to his attention.

Shaking his head with a smile, he peered into the package that was delivered to him.

Inside was a—

…

What the heck?

Inside were multiple goose statues, the beaks being magnetic and able to hold various items such as keys, knives for the kitchen, and several more.

Let it be known that if there was anything the hypnotherapist of Akihabara loved, it was gag or prank gifts.

“Woah, look at what got here human! Are you going to adopt these lovely goosey goosey ganders?!”

Exclaiming excitedly at Anika’s presents was ANGE the high-definition digital girl who was now floating on Yuuya’s television screen.

And as if the previous awkward moment between them had never happened, she let out an airy giggle, drawing a soft smile from the birthday boy who was now busy bringing stuffs he got from townspeople into his living room.

“Goosey, you say? At first I thought they were ducks. But welp, these two birdies are way too similar. I can’t really differentiate them from one another.”

Joking a bit about the goose vs duck paradox, Yuuya was just returning home from his personal errand to deliver presents to other divisions.

Because much to one’s surprise, there were few acquaintances who were coincidentally sharing the same birthday with him. However, he didn’t expect the townsfolk to give him this many gifts during his way back home. It was always very nice of them; his hometown’s people, their hospitality had never failed to make him feel touched ever since he was a lot younger. And that was one of the reasons why he had tried so hard to keep his hometown unscathed from whoever’s exploitation.

Hot and humid, the first summer draft was slipping through the balcony and bringing along the warm and woody scent from his father’s room to his senses.

And even if today was meant to be the longest day of the year, now looked like the sun had been shifting lower and lower toward the horizon.

Suddenly swarmed by emotions, the birthday boy gazed at the distant evening sky that bore the same shade as his eyes.

…That’s right, his birthday used to be so lonely since he usually spent it alone mourning. But somehow this year was shaping up to be a bit different.

His smile softened as he could hear his chatty companion explored each of his presents with sparkling enthusiasm.

“Tee-hee, couldn’t believe that the meme ANGE stumbled upon on the internet one day would be actually brought to life! This lady you called Kiyozaki-san has got a great taste! Humans sure are being creative~”

—And well, he was glad to see her being back to her energetic self again.

Earlier she seemed to be oddly quiet that he felt somewhat frustrated she might be mad at him. Together with Ojou-chan, she had always been the liveliest voice in his home.

“Oh. And to think about it, Kiyozaki-san did tell me to give her a visit sometimes too. Hmmm, perhaps I should drop by her clinic whenever I get a chance to go around Akihabara…”

From what extent he knew about this Kiyozaki-san beside her being the leader of Pixel Syndicate was that she had been once a high-rise racer but now turning over to become a specific type of professional therapist after suffering grave injuries from a certain accident in her past. What’s more? She was also the current guardian figure to Setsukura-san, one of his underclassmen at his old school! So, that was probably why he could feel the mature-ish comforting vibe to her despite her rather mischievous streak judging from her choice of gifts.

And while there might be some barrier of communication in between them according to her partial loss of hearing, this couldn’t make him less interested in learning more about sign language.

Still, Kiyozaki-san’s motive in joining the D.R.B. remained quite unclear to him.

Though her background sounded like she was a fame seeker in the past, some part of him believed she was also exhausted with all that stuff as she had changed into her new career to help people, hence she might as well have another reason to sign in this suspicious tournament aside from seeking either its prize or glory… Actually, it would be a blatant lie that the majority of participants did join it without some kind of hidden agenda —He himself even had one of his own.

But if you ask him what about her that caught on his curiosity the most, the answer was undoubtedly her eyes: the sunset color, the unique scheme he had never seen anyone with this same shade so far except…

His sister, his nice and kind nee-san whom he had never seen in years

And damn it, before he could grasp a hold of his emotions, his sickening nostalgia began to striked up. He was well aware that Kiyozaki-san was obviously different person from his sister, yet she strongly reminded him of her.

His nice and kind nee-san… Just where are you now?

There were too many things he was always yearning to hear from her but sadly never got a chance to.

…How has she been up to this present? Is her new family being nice to her? Is city life that great compared to here? Is there anything she wants to tell him, her only little brother? Any story she would love to tell like she always does when they were young? Or literally, any, anything. Or at very least, he wanted to ask her if she perhaps got bored of his calls… Also, what about mom? Has she… even smiled more than when she was still with him?

A stream of feelings stirring up inside his chest, the sunset gleam in his eyes wavered like a fickle light dancing on the ripples. But before he got more indulged into his own turmoil, Yuuya sharply inhaled.

…Nah, just kidding, there was no time for him to be sad.

Thinking as such, the boy who had now grown older as a young man wiped the evidence of his emotions off the corner of his eyes and stood up.

…His clubmates had just called him that they were gonna throw a karaoke party for him this dinner. Hi-chan was also attending. That old man was probably not coming, but he was already grateful for him to keep his promise on sponsoring his education up to this present. And on top of everything, he was finally graduated and now was one step closer to his dream. Therefore, he should be happy. He had got to be. There was no way he wasn’t… He wasn’t a lonely little brother who was in need of some pampering anymore.

Suppressing his pathetic self deep down the bottom of his heart, Yuuya let out a long sigh. He still had a project needed to be done anyway, and yeah —This must be the best way to keep himself distracted for a while.

However, unbeknownst to him,

A pair of bright red eyes were kept watching after his back with a bewildered look…

—Thanks for the gifts! And sorry for getting late lmao

[noxiatoxia]

question, just hypothetically speaking, when does his voice crack ? hypothetically

fuckk trying to think of examples off the top of my head. i think during their play acting in ep 14 is one.. i know it happens once or twice when he's just talking, i just wish i could remember what episodes specifically. i think maybe in ep 12? ohh wait in episode 21 (the devil) i recall he says "yeahhh, that's not gonna happen" to soga when theyre stuck in the classroom together, and his voice goes REALLY high for a moment on the word "that's", it's really cute. fuuuck i hate this man

[lil-zephy]

zephy is sick today and blehhh can't stop thinking how much better my little day had been if I didn't get sick, I know it's not my fault but brain being mean bleghh, it was a good day and had lots of little fun and received some attention from my temp caregiver I hope to have another day like it again maybe an even better one ><

[emptymasks]

They're done! I really want to try and make prints again as it's been years and I've never felt like I was very good at making whole posters. Dipping my toe back in with these silly chibis of each Papa with every Ghoul they've had. Perhaps they can also work as a guide for those wanting to learn all the characters? I added in a fair amount of little references with the Ghoul's poses so it'll be interesting to see what you guys figure out and notice!

The prints are on pre-order and won't ship out until November. I've put up 25 of each to start with but if they get low on stock I'll keep adding more until I have them printed and then it'll be a set amount in stock.

Also a reminder about the stickers of every Ghost Papa and Ghoul that I made earlier this year that are also available as customisable badges! Thank you so much to everyone who already bought them and got Etsy to list them as a 'bestseller' for a while. They're still up and in stock.

EDIT: someone informed me Delta was not in Secondo's era so sorry little water ghoul but he got edited out of that drawing.

Characters featured on the prints and are also available on stickers and badges: Papa Emeritus I / Primo, Papa Emeritus II / Secondo, Papa Emerirus III / Terzo, Papa Emeritus IV / Cardinal Copia, Aether, Air, Alpha / Fire, Aurora, Chain / Water, Cirrus, Cowbell, Cumulus, Delta, Dewdrop / Sodo, Earth, Ifrit, Ivy, Lake, Mist, Mountain, Omega / Quintessence, Pebble, Phantom, Phil / Special Ghoul, Rain, Sunshine, Swiss, Zephy.

I can’t link to my Etsy without risking Tumblr hiding the post from tag search results, but the link is in my pinned post, my carrd, I’m emptymasks on Etsy. Reblogs help support artists more than likes ❤️

[ID: Four landscape drawings, one for each of Ghost's Papas and the Ghouls that were in the band with them while they were the lead singer. Each Papa is in the center with each of their ghouls standings to their sides. Every character has their name written above or below them, on brightly coloured backgrounds for each Papa's robe colour. Also, individual pixel art chibi drawings of 69 characters from various European musicals (listed above) that are available as stickers. These drawings are also available as badges where they are placed inside circles to show what they will look like as physical button badges, some of them with plain colour backgrounds and some with 1-3 different pride flags as examples of how you can customise the backgrounds.]

For those who want to know what the little references in the prints are and don't want to guess, they're under the cut:

Omega can be a stompy boy when he's playing guitar, Alpha likes to throw up peace signs, Air is very found of the rock horns hand symbol, there's one close-up photo of Lake out there where you can clearly see his black sclera contacts and he's doing double 'horns' hand symbol, Mountain infamously takes his shoes off when playing the drums and leaves them on the stage at the site of his drumkit, Dewdrop likes to like.. most things including his guitar and his picks and sometimes his own hand, Pebble liked to hand out his drumsticks at the end of shows by dropkicking them into the crowd, Omega wore a flower tucked into his guitar strap during one show and Terzo constantly flirts with him more than other ghouls, Delta is suspected to be the ghoul that attempted to kick an audience member off stage when they climbed onstage and attempted to kiss Terzo, Zephyr was the only band member and only keyboardist who sat down while playing, the special ghoul played by Tobias wore a nametag 'Phil' in an interview, Swiss constantly is showing all his teethies with his smiles and always wiggling and moving around, Aether and Dewdrop often interact with Dew teasing/bothering Aether, Dew and Rain also often interact with Dew constantly reaching to grab his neck and attempt to kiss him, aaaand I think that's everything I intentionally included other than just generally tried to get the poses and expressions to match the personality we've seen from each ghoul.

I feel like the time has come for you all to meet my main Chuggington OC:

Meet Astra, the new Chug Patroller!

Name: Astra

Created: May, 2020

Gender: Female ♀️

Age Range: 15-16

Home:

• Chuggington

• Tootington (formely)

Chugger Status: Full-fledged

Occupation:

• Chug Patroller

• Backup Equipment Carrier

Eye Color: Mauve

Main Color: Red

Gauge: Standard Gauge

Basis: Freelance Design

Power Type: Diesel-electric

Power Output: 1440 hp

Top Speed: 110 mph

Configuration: Bo-Bo

No. of Wheels: 8

Affiliation:

• Jackman

• Calley

• Asher

• Wilson

• Brewster

• Koko

• Zephie

About Astra:

Astra is a compartment engine who can carry extra Chug Patrol gear and equipment.

Personality:

She is relatively a kind-hearted, eager-to-please teenage girl; she is always happy to do whatever job she is given with a can-do attitude. While there are occasions once in a while when her excitable nature can get the better of her, she is still focused and very capable. Sweet, lively and encouraging, Astra is always ready to do her part, whether it's keeping the tracks safe as a Chug Patroller, or just making everyone smile as a friend.

Astra In Action:

Astra is fresh from completing training, and is the youngest full-time Chug Patrol member. (Wilson does not count; he is only a part-time member as he is still a trainee) She often tags along on emergency callouts with the rest of the squad.

She'll volunteer to do other jobs whenever the oppurtunity arises as she simply loves helping and enjoys a brief change, but in her spare time, she is hobby photojournalist (She has a retractable smartphone-like camera located and stored where her pop-up wingmirrors are; inside the hatch with the Chug Patrol emblem on the door to access her engine placed adjacent to her face, I will draw this in the future)

Ever since she was a trainee, she journals photos and sometimes videos of her everyday life and adventures, usually just cute selfies of herself or group photos. She shares them online with some of her old friends who also partake in this hobby. She also finds her camera useful for reporting track and trackside hazards to Chug Patrol.

Additional facts:

She was a Chug Patroller in Tootington quite some time before moving to Chuggington. She was a top student as a trainee and moved up so quickly, she had graduated while still in the chugger equivalent of teenage years. (Very rarely do chuggers become fully-fledged when they're young. Hodge, Zephie and Emery are the only canon chuggers in this scenario) She had a very close relationship with her old mentor before he suffered a tragic accident that permanently put him out of commission, but he would still be put back together and preserved by a museum. Astra had been invited to Chuggington around this same time and was sad to leave him behind, especially in the sorry state he was currently in, but he reminded her that he'd always be with Astra in her heart. She did manage to recover before she left for Chuggington, but didn't open up to the others about this situation until much later.

She also likes stargazing, and the Planetarium (A new location on the outskirts of Chuggington suburbs) is one of her favorite places.

She has a playful and adventurous relationship with Wilson, and is his best friend to be with whenever Brewster and Koko aren't around. She's usually the Chug Patroller Wilson is on patrol with if not with Jackman or by himself.

Like Wilson, she too would form a father-child-like relationship with Jackman.

She also has a bit of an aunt-like relationship with Calley and an uncle-like relationship with Asher.

Often while they're in CPHQ, Asher likes to listen to chill music on the radio and Astra in particular sways side-to-side or even full-on dances to the music on the turntable.

When she's not with Wilson, Brewster, Koko, or Chug Patrol, she also has a dynamic with Zephie cuz girl power lol

Astra's creation and design was inspired by the Plarail Disney Dream Railway Mickey Mouse Rescue Train by Takara Tomy:

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a perfect real-life resemblance of this locomotive no matter how hard I tried, however the main body does seem to loosely resemble a E6 series Akita Shinkansen:

Now, I'm under the impression that Mickey rescue train was a freelance design, but if by some crazy chance any of you know a better real-life resemblance, do comment below, I'd appreciate that. (^ー^)

Annnd I think that's that, everything you need to know about Astra! I'm hoping to make actual 3d orthos for her, but those are quite tedious and challenging, so for now, that side view and posed render I made back in 2022 will suffice. I wanted to get her revealed before any other Chuggington OCs before it gets too late into the year... and I still need to draw Margot The Monorail for @lomotunes2008 😅...

I was planning to get this released a bit earlier in the day, but additional editing and new content on Youtube kinda got in the way of that :P

But anyway, I hope you all enjoy and do stay tuned because there will be more of Astra, and more OCs in the near future!

[divine-misfortune]

zephy baby for the character ask plsss <3

eheheh crow out here enabling me yet again <3

How I feel about this character

Zephyr is very much a 'observe and listen' sort of character to me. A ghoul of few words. They like to watch rather than add in, though when they do add to conversation they are incredibly opinionated. A little sharp with their tongue at times, but generally very pleasant. Wise beyond their years, mostly from all that time spent with Omega in the infirmary where all can occupy themself with is listening to his babbling. Since retirement they've kept themselves busy with their work in the archives when their body allows for it, the chronic aches and pains unfortunately quite good at keeping them from the things they enjoy. Zeph tries to ignore it, truthfully. Push through. A workaholic much to everyone else's concern. Often forgets to take care of themself until their body is forcefully reminding them of their limits.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Do I even need to say Mountain? Do I really? Oh Mountain was their first, he was theirs, they are each others everythings. Mountain may have this new pack and new bonds to nurture but they will always be his first love and they adore him in kind. I won't get into their very incredibly intimate constant dom/sub dynamic because I will write a novel and a half BUT know that it's special to me. Sorry, anyways, the other characters-

Ifrit. Oh Ifrit. They're so weak to him and his boyish charms.

And listen...Listen, I know it is such a crackship and only like me and three other people care about it but Zeph and Phantom :( that's their sweet little wisp. He's got such a puppy crush on them.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Zephyr loves their ghoulettes. The girls are something they treasure and adore, and they are quite protective of their little doves.

But also Mist. I think Mist and Zephyr clicked from the start. Mist is who they retreat to for quiet, unexpectant companionship. Mist in my brain is somewhat aromantic, but I think her and Zeph are sort of queer platonic partners in a way.

My unpopular opinion about this character

Zeph is not helpless. They might have their aches and pains and days where it gets too rough to function but they are the furthest thing from helpless.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I just. I need to watch them play the mummy dust solo one more time. Please. Please I'm begging on my fucking knees.

Three Little Images and a Fun Little Tale

So I came up with my two key OCs a little over a year ago while playing with a picrew

Zephyr K. Fae (They/She/He)

And Meryl E. Dansen (She/They)

I wound up loving these two so much I decided it would be fun to imagine them as roommates. Then I started getting some art of them done via commissions. Once I had a few all together, I realized I could work a mini story around them and posted that to my twitter. Figured now that I have this tumblr, I may as well post it here as well.

So, check it out (and the arts that inspired it) below the cut (and let me know what you think if you read it):

___________________________________

After a long day at work, Zephyr could only think of one thing they wanted to do as soon as they got home. Rushing to strip off their work clothes and taking out their supplies; diapers, wipes, and powder.

After laying everything out, they got to work, unable to stop smiling through the entire process.

Next up was putting the rest of their outfit for the evening together.

First up was a pair of black thigh highs, then their favorite top (mainly because it gave her wings room to breath that her work shirts didn't.)

One final touch was the collar their mommy had given them last time they'd seen each other (Zeph needed to remember to take pictures of themself wearing it for her later.)

Zeph went up to their full length mirror to appreciate how they looked. Wanting to take in every angle of a sight that had become less common recently.

Time management was never their strong suit and it's only gotten worse in the past year. Barely holding head above water on the stuff that needs to get done left no space for what they wanted.

But tonight, they were pushing that out of their mind and appreciated the sight of their own padded bottom with a simple thought.

"It's been too long!"

(art by floofnfluff)

Zeph stepped out into the living room to settle in for the night. Stretched across the couch was their favorite punky pink catgirl and roommate, Meryl.

Her ears twitched hearing Zeph step out of their room. She sat up, looked them up and down as they walked by, and rolled her eyes.

"Ugh… My roommate is such a baby…"

(art by Princess Molly)

Zeph sticks their tongue out back at her

"You're wearing a diaper too!"

"Mines covered up, though."

"By fishnet tights?"

"It's called 'fashion'.", Meryl affirmed with a smirk.

(art by toddlercasper)

Zeph kept walking away from the cat with a smirk of their own and said, "Well, if I'm such a baby then I guess I'm too little to make dinner tonight."

Meryl stood right up at that, "That's not fair! You promised breakfast for dinner tonight!"

Zeph stuck their thumb in their mouth in performative defiance, "Sowwy, babies not twusted in the kitchen."

As they kept stepping away, Meryl snuck up behind Zeph and lifted and swiftly lifted them off the ground.

Zeph yelped, "HEY!"

"If you're going to be a baby tonight, then I'm putting you down for a nap.", Meryl insisted.

"NO FAIR!", Zephy shouted while kicking their legs.

"If little Zephy Fae doesn't feel like being big tonight, they can live with a little naptime."

"Come oooon! Put me down!", Zephy whined

"You know the magic words to make me stop."

"I'm sorry and I'll make dinner." Zephy pouted

"Not those ones."

With a sigh, Zephy let out exactly what her Roommate wanted to hear, "Meryl is always bigger than me…"

"Very good.", Meryl said as she set her roommate down. Her purple tail was waving back and forth with pride at this victory.

She gave Zeph a playful pat on her diapered butt and watched as they walked into the kitchen

Zeph was barely able to hold back their own giggles as they went along. Being able to play out moments like that with her was exactly why Meryl was the best friend they ever had!

Zeezee

remember the victorian vampires headcanon that @webbyghoul and i posted in september? and that Webby made into a series of fics including a couple that i wrote?

well we just had a new thought, so if baby Phantom (i think he should be around 5-8 years old here?) calls everyone else as Aunt or Uncle (except for Omega who’s Dad), but there’s no gender neutral form for Rain and Zephyr, what does he call the two then?

Rainy and Zephy would be weird, as it‘s also their nickname from the others sometimes, so I had Phantom call Rain “Rainrain” bcs i thought it’s cute, but it won’t work for Zephyr because Zephzeph is just too much of a mouthful 😂

after some more thinking i came up with “Zeezee“. and then Webby said to me “It's so cute just imagining little Buggy running up to them for the first time saying that and they have no idea who he's talking to until he gets to them.“

zero editing so if you see any mistakes no you dont 😬

Most of the family were gathered in the mostly unused dining room planning a surprise for little Phantom, whose birthday was coming up soon. They had decided on a party, which the little one was excited about, he wanted a bat themed cake with little puppies and for everyone to be wearing a costume. But in addition to that, they also wanted to gift him something special, something meaningful, something that says he’s a part of the family even thought they were still of different species for now, but nobody had any idea yet, not even Dewdrop.

Omega was tasked with distracting the little bug while everyone else brainstormed his present. But he must’ve been having difficulties reigning in the little energy monster, as they heard the sounds of little feet running in the hall shouting, “Zeezee! Zeezee where are you? Dad said you’re somewhere in the house!“

Everyone in the dining room looked at each other with confused faces, “Did Omega get another puppy for Phantom?“ Swiss wondered out loud.

“Not that I know of,” Cumulus replied.

“So who’s Zeezee then?”

Cumulus just shrugged, having no idea herself.

“Maybe a new haunted plushie?” Rain questioned, making Zephyr shiver, the Terzo plushie scared them so much, with its creepy eyes and unmoving mouth, yet it can still communicate somehow.

“But there’s no spirits left here as far as I know,” Mountain as the oldest of the vampires there, and the owner of the mansion, answered.

Meanwhile Phantom kept running around the mansion shouting for the mysterious Zeezee, apparently with Omega chasing after him telling him to slow down and stop.

They all heard the little bug running past the dining room a few seconds before Omega entered, “Kids these days, I’m sorry everyone, I tried my best but he just has to do it now.”

“Do what Megs?” Ifrit asked him the question everyone was wondering about.

“We decided to talk about the party some more, and he had this great idea about his-“

Just then the subject in question opened the door quite loudly, “Zeezee! There you are!” He said walking towards the vampires gathered around one end of the long table.

“Who’s Zeezee, little one?” Cirrus asked him.

“Zeezee! I had an idea for my costume,” Phantom said to Zephyr after he got in front of them, “May I get a suit with a cape like Uncle Swiss has, but pretty like the dress Rainrain wore last week to the ball, but not blue like theirs, can I get them purple like Uncle Aefer‘s eyes, and maybe decorated like Uncle Mounty‘s glasses, and then may-“

“Whoa slow down Buggy, first things first, I’m Zeezee?” Zephyr asked him.

“Well yeah! Dad said you’re like Rainrain, not my uncle not my aunt but something else, but I don’t want to call you just your name because that’s weird because you’re old, so Zeezee! Get it? What do you think?”

“Excuse me I am not old, little one. You’re just really young, that’s all. But I love it! And yes I will make your suit for the party, would you like to come with me to shop for fabrics tomorrow?”

“Yes please!” Phantom said with a big grin, and then he turned to his father, “Can I, Dad? Please?”

“Of course, sweetheart.”

anw i just love the little bug so much 🖤

[bonesandthebees]

I only just now figured out how to do the ask thing on here and just remembered you have an account on here so hellooo

I finished reading stars for the first time like yesterday and finished it in like 4-5 days— it’s so good o(-( 💖 My brain is already wanting to do a pmv for it— it may or may not have become a favorite of mine

I wanted to ask though, do you have any descriptions of what the planets roughly look like from afar?

fire!! aaa thank you so much I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! stars is my BABY it's genuinely the best thing I've written I think. no pressure ofc but if you did a pmv I would sob /pos

uhh I can try to provide example images if you want but those will be hard to find, so I'll give descriptions for now and if you need reference pics lemme know!!

(also fire I hope you know you're always welcome to dm me lol)

anyway! description time!

Eldingvegr - the planet is tidally-locked, meaning it doesn't spin. one side is always facing its sun, while the other side is always cast in darkness. the sun facing side, Sólsid, is a vast desert so the planet looks mostly brown and yellow on that side. the dark facing side, Nóttsid, is permanently shrouded in darkness, but if someone were to point a giant flashlight at it it would mostly be white and grey because it's largely made up of stone and ice with a few small settlements here and there. most of the planets population lives in the Røkkrring, which is the middle band of the planet where the day and night sides meet. I actually did find a reference picture of what a sunset looks like from space so

in my mind the Røkkrring looks like this from space—a band of varying shades of soft pinks. I know that's a lot going on with one planet lol sorry about that

Zephys IV - this planet is extremely cold, with the entire population living underground because the surface is essentially just ice and a few extremely hardy tundra plants. from afar the planet essentially looks like a ball of white and blue ice.

Kinoko - as a planet Kinoko is heavily forested with a huge variety of mushrooms and trees found on the surface. from afar it looks relatively similar to earth, except it's more land than water and the land is extremely green

Mantle - schlatt's planet is a moon that orbits a gas giant (like Jupiter in our own solar system). the gas giant Mantle orbits is a light orangish color, while Mantle itself looks kind of like Saturn's moon Titan with it's kind of hazy green/blue/orange glow

And then we have the Badlands, which are a trio of planets that all orbit another gas giant that govern together. Of the Badlands we have:

Nona - this one is like Kinoko in that it's a heavily forested planet with lots of green. whereas Kinoko though looks roughly to have 55% land and 45% water, Nona has 70% land and 30% water. It's mostly just masses of extremely green continents with a few splashes of blue lakes here and there.

Decima - in my mind Decima has the same haziness you always see with Saturn's moon Titan, but the color scheme for Decima is entirely yellows. the surface of Decima is uninhabitable due to high temperatures and toxic gas, so all populations live in floating cities in the upper atmosphere

Morta - Morta is a bit of a hell planet that only gem hybrids like Skeppy and demons like Bad can survive on. the planet itself is dark grey and red with no visible water anywhere from afar. there technically is water on the planet, but it's very far below ground in the extensive cave system that runs through the entire thing.

And then the gas giant these three planets orbit is kind of a hazy dark orange/reddish color in my mind but I'm not super picky about it

okay I that's it! I hope that helps!

Hostile Takeover: Chapter 1

As she sat on the train, 150km above Tibet, Zephy racked her brain for the last time she had been to Lagos. It had to have been close to 10 years prior, when it was still the epicenter of the cyberware world; getting her neurotransmitter moderator, maybe? As she thought about it, she idly pulled up her level monitor on her HUD and brought her oxytocin down; this level of stress wasn't going to do her any favors for this negotiation.

She felt her center of gravity shift as the train car veered off the express track and gradually slowed, arriving at the Lagos station. A short ride down to the surface later, she stepped out onto the street. For May, it was unseasonably hot -- and seasonably humid -- but the sea breeze felt wonderful on her skin. Deciding to walk the kilometer or so, her HUD navigated her to the restaurant listed in the invitation. As she passed a bakery, the smell nearly diverted her, but this wasn't a pleasure trip; she'd still be the first to arrive, as planned, but it wasn't worth taking the chance. Not on this job.

The sign on the restaurant read "Élan Eko" and as she approached the door, two smiling hosts opened the heavy black and gold doors from the inside. "Welcome, Ms. Hawke," one said as she stepped inside, leading her to the beautifully-appointed, private dining room. "May I get you a drink while you wait for the rest of your party?"

"Grey Goose and tonic with lemon, please," she said, setting her bag on the chair next to her. He gave a curt nod and in the few minutes he was gone, she had already pulled out her laptop, pairing it to her network of implants. It'd been years since she actually used the screen for any serious work, but it was useful to show clients her designs as she fleshed them out in her mind. She closed her eyes, quickly sketched out a blueprint, then opened them to see it rotating in 3d on the screen, her drink sitting next to the near-archaic device.

She sipped at her drink as she watched the meeting time grow closer, wondering how many others would be showing up for the briefing. The only one she knew for sure was "Mr. Nexus," who was getting the crew together. As she idly thought about it, the first arrived: they were stocky, wearing polished combats and a well-tailored black suit, standing 165cm tall at best. Their hair was short and neon green, with one side shaved. Despite exuding an air of "don't fuck with me," they came up and offered a handshake. "Hi! I'm Crush, she/they. I don't think we've worked together before."

Zephy stood and sheepishly said, "sorry, I don't shake hands, but it's good to meet you! I'm Bitmancer. Don't think I've had the pleasure yet; been working for Mr. Nexus for long?"

"Bitmancer? You hackers always have the best codenames," she said with a grin. "Only a few small jobs so far, but we've all made it out alive. Can't complain about that." She chuckled, taking a seat and offering Zephy to do the same.

"'Any one you walk away from', my old partner always said. Well, until he didn't, but that's the life," she said with a wry smile and a shrug. The server came by to take their drink order and arrived with it as Mr. Nexus entered the room.

They both stood and gave their greetings. "Good, the whole crew's here! Have you had a moment to introduce yourselves?"

"Just chatting about the life we've chosen for ourselves," Crush said with a smile.

He gave a good laugh at that and then took a sip of his Old Fashioned. "So, how do you two feel about murder?"

What if Fidds didn’t get his memories back before Ford came back through the portal?

I felt inspired to write a li’l ~600 word one shot, enjoy. May or may not have cried a little while writing this.

Reunion

A Gravity Falls One-Shot Fanfic By Zephy

A pair of grocery bags crashed to the parking lot gravel. Though something in one of the bags shattered - likely the jar of raspberry jam Mabel had requested without the seeds, Grunkle Ford, don’t get the jam with seeds! - the chinkle of broken glass barely registered through Ford’s profound and all-encompassing shock.

Hunched so badly that his bandaged hands nearly touched the floor, an old man with an impressively long and scraggly beard was half-leaping-half-crawling over a bench, having knocked over a trio of garbage cans in his frenzied chase of a bird who, it appeared, had stolen his hat. The years had changed him thoroughly, but there was no mistaking his accent - “Git back here, ya feathery sky demon!” - his nose, or his eyes: that man was Fiddleford McGucket.

“Fiddleford.”

The whisper was like the silence one second before an explosion; immediately following, Ford felt his stomach drop into free fall, a guilty-sick feeling rising up in his throat. Fiddleford was supposed to be at home with Emma-May and Tate in California. He was supposed to be fine.

But he was not at home, and he was certainly not fine.

Ford hardly felt himself start moving, grocery bags and broken jam jar left completely forgotten. “Fiddleford?”

He’d been half hoping that the disheveled man wouldn’t turn at the sound of the name, that this wasn’t his old- His old partner. But no, the recognition and genuine surprise in his eyes, that was real. All of this was too real. His mouth stayed open for a long moment, mind full of thoughts, but empty of any words. What did he say??

Apparently Fiddleford was feeling similarly.

“Er… um. Hello?”

The thoughts built like pressure against a dam, rising as a dampness at the edges of his eyes, until he found himself hugging the other man to his chest, practically vomiting every I’m sorry that had been fighting to leave him for the last thirty years: “I’m sorry. Fiddleford- I’m so sorry. Ishouldhavelistenedtoyou, I was stupid, I’vealwaysbeenstupid, but now I’m just-” He pulled away, suddenly realizing how stiff and uncomfortable Fiddleford felt in the hug. The man’s blue eyes seemed… confused.

“Sorry…” Ford whispered once again. A thick moment of silence passed between them, each trying desperately to figure the other out and unable to.

It was only when Ford moved to take Fiddleford’s hand - hoping that would be a more acceptable physical sign of solidarity - that they began to make progress in that regard.

Fiddleford’s eyes widened at the uncannily familiar sight of six fingers, but he barely had a moment to process before a sharp, burning pain shot through his head like lightning, burning behind his eyes. Instinctively, he squirmed and grit his teeth, caught in a wild haze of deja vu.

Roommates.

High fives, laughter, late nights.

Rolling thirty eight sided dice.

Shared moments of joy and stress and everything in between.

Years apart, and then…

A drive north.

A warm greeting.

A night under the stars.

Hours and hours spent tinkering in-

That place.

With the blue light, the rope on his ankle, the eyes, the eyes, THE EYES!!!

The entire montage-like flashback lasted only a moment, but it left Fiddleford trembling and struggling for breath.

He remembered. Not everything, but enough. Enough to know something bad was happening- was going to happen, happen soon-

“Fiddleford?”

Time stopped, reality coming back into focus, centering around the warmth of a hand on his shoulder. A familiar warmth and a familiar hand.

“Stanferd…” Fiddleford muttered, surprised to realize how familiar the taste of the name was and how perfectly it went with the gaze he lifted his eyes to meet. “Stanferd Pines.”

Question: Are you doing anything for October?

Hey guys, I uhmm.. sorry I'm late. I do have plans for October actually but I haven't been getting around to do em.

I've been severely depressed lately(to the point I needed extra anti depressants) and things kept coming up, like yesterday, my dad died and stuff like that and theres so much family drama because of his girlfriend and the inheritace n stuff..

I'm probably gonna be on hiatus for the rest of October, maybe early november cuz I still need to process everything

But I might post sooner who knows

I'm okay though, just a lil, extra depressed

I love you all and I'll see you soon with a post :33
