what's Peri's deal?

Okay Peri's deal is somewhat complicated just based on the fact that she's the oldest oc that I have for this particular universe, and would be the main character if I ever wrote it as an actual story, so she's gone through quite a bit of evolution (as a character that I've had for five or so years does lol).

Here's a rough doodle of her:

[I.D. Rough digital bust sketch of Peri, a Black girl with short, thick locs. She is smiling. End I.D.]

So she's seventeen years old (currently, I might change that lol), and she works as what is known in universe as an arsonist. That basically means she lights and/or maintains fires for people, and since she does so with fire magic that can sustain itself with much less than a regular flame, it generally saves people a lot on fuel. There aren't that many people who can manipulate flame, so her talents are generally pretty high in demand. Her magic is also considered to be a divine blessing.

She's pretty outgoing and boisterous, and can make friends just as easily as enemies. She's not a fan of heights, and gets teased for that because she's the tallest person in her friend group. She also has generalized amnesia and doesn't remember her life before around the age of eight, when her parents died in a fire.

She honestly tries not to think about her parents too much, but their deaths still have had a lasting impact on her. She knows that people can just disappear without warning, but more importantly she knows she can forget them, and that scares her. Does she process this? No <3 Absolutely not <3 She is never going to think about this if she can help it <3

But that also means that she's got a lot of unresolved insecurities about her relationships and a fear (subconscious at best cause girlie does Not want to acknowledge it) that in one way or another people will leave her.

(here's the list of ocs if anyone wants to ask questions!)

🌅 Sunrise 🌄

Inspired by the last panel @kriti-the-creator comic. It was just so cute I knew I wanted to recreate it myself.

I've been working on concept art for Kareena's world a bit. I have lots of other projects right now too. Lots of ideas for comics. Hopefully I'll have the time for them.

[the-eternal-child]

So I was just singing Spy x Family's praises to my friend (as you do), and it occurred to me that the characters' backstories may be revealed in the order they were introduced: Twilight>Anya>Yor.

We know that each member of the main cast has had painful childhood experiences (honestly, I wouldn't even know how to rank who had it worse because each is its own brand of hell), it could make perfect sense to introduce the backstories sequentially or it could be introduced as leading themes into current plotlines. Who knows?

Chapter 90.5 has us all waiting with baited breath to see if we're getting Anya's backstory or not and I think if we are getting another look into someone's past, Anya's makes the most sense. Though Endo could be a complete tease and not give us anything for another 10 chapters 😭.

Twilight's backstory provided some great context into his past and what led to his current emotional struggles, setting the context for why he holds fast to his goal of 'creating a peaceful world' while fighting his losing battle of loving his new little family (especially the mole arc hoooboy!).

We already have in story context for Project Apple, we know it's existence, that there was human and animal experimentation (Anya and Bond) and that the subjects were being used for political goals somehow. We had the lead up of little bread crumbs along the way like she might have 'escaped the lab', her random knowledge of classical language, etc. Now would be a good time to start working toward weaving that story more fully into the main plot line (Random aside but has anyone ever noticed Desmond has 2 scars on the side of his head like Frankenstein's screws?).

I think Yor's backstory is still quite a ways off. There's still too much we don't know about Garden, I think, for them to introduce her backstory and how she met them. They're shady af, we don't know what their motives are, who they work for, nothing!

I mean, was anyone else worried when Yor mentioned Loid took a liking to Desmond and Shopkeeper was like 'oh really?'. That was so sinister, and it was never mentioned again! Makes me feel like a setup to him digging into Loid Forger or something.

Bringing in Garden's orgins seems like material leading up to identity reveals between Yor and Twilight, and the story just isn't there yet. So Anya it is and I'm so ready but I'm so NOT!

Anyhow, thank you for listening to me ramble about this series that has taken over my life! Have a good day! BYYYYYEEEEEEE!

notes on pyrrha dve

heres all the relevant info i took note of on pyrrha during my tlt reread, in one place!

(you can find all the other posts from this project here!)

PYRRHA DVE

titles:

Gideon’s cavalier, first gen, founded the second

greek mythological orgin of the name pyrrha

also, pyrrhic victory

notes from gideon the ninth:

G1deon & Pyrrha's room in Canaan house includes a drawing of a chimaera that Gideon describes as "familiar" and a picture on the wall of John and his pals (presumably) with everyone's faces scribbled out with a thick black marker. Also guns (gtn. pg. 205)

notes from harrow the ninth:

presumably lead the development of her and G1dieon's trial at Canaan house, as Mercy refers to it as "Pyrrha's trial" (htn. pg. 97)

 The reason G1deon is named the Saint of Duty (htn. pg. 177)

Asked Wake to kill G1deon quickly (htn. pg. 205)

Was most likely the one conscious in G1dieon’s body when Harrow caught her fucking Wake in Cytherea’s body????? (htn. pg. 216)

"I will remember the first time you kissed me- you apologised- you said, I am sorry, destroy me as I am, but I want to kiss you before I am killed, and I said to you why, and you said, because I have only once met someone so utterly willing to burn for what they believed in, and I loved him on sight, and the first time I died I asked of him what I now ask of you / I kissed you and later I would kiss him too before I understood what you were, and all three of us lived to regret it- but when I am in heaven I will remember your mouth, and when you roast down in hell I think you will remember mine" -Wake's note (htn. pg. 252)

All the lyctors and John loved her (and also thought she was super hot) (htn. pg. 274)

Augustine developed his smoking habit to impress her (htn. pg. 275)

Was ten years older than Augustine (htn. Pg. 278)

G1deon & Pyrrha liked Alecto despite the fact that the other lyctors (at least Mercy and Augustine) didn't (htn. pg. 479)

Mattaius Nonius fought G1deon, and seems to owe Pyrrha a debt (htn. pg. 455)

"We compartmentalised from the Eightfold Word, just like you and your girl- though I'm an accident, and he took more from me than got taken from you. I was able to go underground, even from him."- Pyrrha (htn. pg. 494)

notes from nona the ninth:

Used to be a cop, made detective, knew Gideon from "way back" (ntn. pg. 74)

"'You should be draining and replacing her fucking brain fluid,' said Pyrrha. 'When Gideon and I designed that trial, I used to crack his skull and sieve it myself, just as a control variable. It's aggregative. I doubt you're testing her white blood cell count either. The only other people I put through that damn trial were Mercy and Cris, because only Cris didn't mind being trepanned on the regular. Fucking around with souls is the problem, Sextus… you can't ever get data on souls.'" - Pyrrha, discussing when Cam & Pal "overlap" (ntn. pg. 84)

"I visited her hometown back before Anastasia got settled, and it was grim as fuck then. Just spooky caves all the way down…" -Pyrrha (ntn. pg. 86)

"'Do they still do gravid carry where you come from?' 'On the Sixth, only for research,' said Palamedes. 'I helped at a birth once. Theres a lot of noise and run-up before the real thing happens.'" -Pyrrha and Palamedes (ntn. pg. 121)

"P- was great, but like, Ministry ties or no Ministry ties, a big part of her career was going around to the local high schools and telling the drugs kids that they shouldn't be doing drugs. She'd won medals for competition shooting back north in Hamilton, but we're not talking Jesse James. We're talking Hamilton."- john (ntn. pg. 191)

"She chose us that day, not her career. I always loved her for that. She'd adored being a cop." -john (ntn. pg. 191)

"and it was P- of all people who said, First things first. If they're going to let us fix the world, you've got to make them take us seriously. Get some leverage. If they want to make you into a bad wizard, be a bad wizard. We can write the history books to say you were a good wizard. Or at least an okay wizard. They're not going to listen because we talk nicely, they're going to listen because we scare the shit out of them. He said, Which goes to show you that only getting to NCEA Level 2 isnt going to stop you making waves in life, right." (ntn. pg. 271)

"Nona had thrown exactly two tantrums in her entire life. She couldn't remember anything about the first one, but Pyrrha had told her about it. Pyrrha had been laughing with her mouth, but not with her eyes: her eyes had been very brown and distant and uneasy, as though this tantrum had reminded Pyrrha of something her brain didn't want to bring back." (ntn. pg. 275)

She mentions disco?? how does she know what disco is??? (ntn. pg. 362)

"Gideon… G-, you died for nothing." -Pyrrha (ntn. pg. 390)

“I remember P- behind a barricade… not dead yet… telling me, John, run.” (ntn. pg. 406)

Died pretty immediately after Mercy and Augustine, but before G1deon (ntn. Pg. 407)

“Who are you, foreigner, that you know the mysteries of the Anastasian?” “I was here before it was the Anastasian,” said Pyrrha absently. “Painted a nursery. Mint green.” (ntn. pg. 453)

“Cass and Mercy and I worked on cell thanergy- we need thanergy, fresh thanergy, to activate…” - Pyrrha (ntn. pg. 471)

“And Alecto said, Pyrrha, he laid me down as an appeasement to them; he fed you to them as an appeasement to them; but he has never appeased me, and now all he has done was teach me how to die.“ (ntn. Pg. 476)

*Drop here*

Here's is my Oc that I made to ship with Homelander....

She's based on magical girls. Specifically Sailor MoonAnd she's kinda a mommy.

That's all I thought of her. Based on this post I made

She's...really mysterious and likes "taking care" of Homelander XD

Name: Ayumi Hoshizaki

Alias: Celestial Moon

Age: 28

Nationality: Japanese

Orgins: Celestial Moon harbors a darker side. She was approached by Vought International and offered a position in The Seven, under the condition that she relocates to America. Seeing an opportunity to expand her influence and bring her own brand of justice to a new continent, she accepted. I wonder why? Hmmmmmm.

Personality: Ayumi is outwardly kind, nurturing, and composed, exuding a motherly aura that comforts those around her. She often speaks in a soft, melodious voice and carries herself with grace and elegance. However, she is fiercely protective of those she cares about and can be ruthless when dealing with threats. Her mysterious nature keeps others at a distance, never fully revealing her true intentions or feelings.

Ayumi's true motivations are shrouded in mystery. While she genuinely wants to protect the innocent and bring peace, she also has a more personal agenda. She seeks to uncover the truth behind Vought's experiments and the origins of her powers, believing that there is a greater destiny awaiting her. Her interactions with Homelander and the other members of The Seven are all steps in her grander plan to reshape the world in her ideal image of justice and harmony.

Relationship with Homelander: Ayumi has a complicated relationship with Homelander. Publicly, she appears to be one of his closest allies, often seen by his side, offering guidance and support. Her calming presence seems to have a unique effect on him, tempering his more volatile tendencies. Some speculate that she uses her emotion control abilities to manage Homelander, though this is something she vehemently denies.

In private, Ayumi sees Homelander as a project, someone she can "take care of" and perhaps reform. She is one of the few who can stand up to him without fear, leveraging her powers and her enigmatic charm to keep him in check. Homelander, in turn, is both intrigued and frustrated by her, unable to fully control or understand her, which only deepens his obsession with her.

I'll reveal one of her powers:

Emotion Control: She has the subtle ability to calm others or inspire feelings of peace and security, often used to de-escalate tense situations or manipulate emotions to her advantage.

Thanks for looking XD

Chapter 1 of Pull Me To Safety Has Been Rewritten

Oof my bad gang didn’t mean to leave this work untouched so I rewrote chapter 1 and am aiming to rewrite chapter 2 lmfao

Link to read the new version on AO3:

Word count difference:

Old:

New:

Orginal:

Kai had been traveling to the Monastery for a few weeks now and he couldn’t wait to arrive at the monastery, he traveled through all kinds of new places on his way. A pang of grief and loneliness went through him as he missed the others.

He could remember the storm like it was yesterday. It had been Lloyd’s eighteenth birthday and the ninjas had wanted to celebrate it like any other day, as per Lloyd’s request. Unfortunately, it never happened as cracks in the sky had caused them to drop everything.

—

The Merge was pure madness towards those final moments, there were no chances to stay still, everyone had to be on their toes unless they wanted to risk the lives of both themselves and the civilians. 

At first, Jay was violently pulled and yanked into the middle of the storm with a scream as his mech was unable to withstand the pull of the storm. Kai remembered how Nya had let out a guttural cry as she watched her Yin disappear into who knows what and who knows where.

Zane had pulled a civilian on board before he was hit by some kind of strange tech that didn’t look like it was from Ninjago, and was sucked into the center. Not even a scream was heard as they watched him disappear into the unforgiving storm. 

Cole had tried his best to fight the pull of the storm, but he was too close to it, and before anyone could reach him, he was sucked in with a scream. “I’ll find you!” He had cried, and Kai could only spare a few moments before he heard Lloyd scream as he too was pulled towards the storm. 

Nya thankfully grabbed his hand, and Kai ran over, right when Nya was pulled off of the bounty. Kai quickly grabbed Nya’s other hand, and latched his only other hand onto the railing of the Bounty. Kai felt dread run through him as the Bounty was getting sucked in slowly but surely.

The pull was stronger now and Kai held onto the ledge of the Bounty’s railing. Kai tried his best to hold onto Nya, who was also trying her best to hold onto Lloyd. “Don’t let go!” Kai had screamed, his voice was filled with pure emotion.

“I’m slipping!” Lloyd shouted, at the end of their small link, trying to hold onto his sister and brother. Out of desperation, Lloyd tried grabbing onto Nya’s arm with both hands, his claws digging into her arm.

“Lloyd!” Nya yelled, trying to fight through the burning feeling in her arm, was left desperately trying to pull their younger brother up with her arm. Just a bit more and Nya could pull Lloyd to safety. Just a bit more and then Kai could pull all of them to safety.

Lloyd fought tears as Kai tried to pull the two up, but the pull was too strong, his grip was loosening as he grew more and more tired. “Please! Don’t let go! Don’t let go!” Kai begged his siblings, tears flowed out of his eyes as he tried not to sob at what was likely their impending doom.

Lloyd looked up and met the others' eyes, and Kai and Nya saw the anguish and fear in his eyes, tears were flowing down his face. Kai grunted as he dug his nails into the wood of the railing. 

“Please don’t let—“ Kai was cut off when Lloyd was suddenly yanked into the middle of the storm with a scream. “No!” Kai and Nya had screamed out in anguish. 

Kai’s grip finally snapped, and Nya let out a scream as she was also pulled in, and Kai could only watch as his baby sister and brother, both whom he basically raised, were pulled into the middle of the storm, not knowing what was going to happen to them.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and Kai screamed as his world broke down around him, and faded into darkness.

—

Kai still didn’t know what to feel about the Merge. Emotions never were his forte, he always struggled to figure out what exactly he was feeling, much less know how to deal with it. 

Unfortunately, Kai had yet to find any of his teammates. He made sure to look around while he traveled, but to no avail. He was growing tired of everything. It was like the universe itself hated him. Kai let out a shaky breath. That was fine by him, he hated himself too.   

Kai could barely think straight as he finally approached the Monastery. Finally, after all this time, he was home. He felt tears pool in his eyes as he tried to process all of his emotions. He never was good at emotions, he had only just begun to get a grasp of them when the Merge had occurred. The thing that disturbed him the most, was that the place looked eerily still.

The Bounty rumbled as it finally came to a stop, and Kai walked out onto the deck. Hee glanced around, waiting for someone to just jump on board and ask him who he was. As Kai got off of the Bounty, he looked at the Monastery. Surely someone would have run to see who was here? Right? Unease and fear pooled in his gut as he walked, every step felt heavy as he walked past the red wooden doors. 

Kai entered the Monastery and to his dismay, he found nothing but dust. The controllers that Kai and Jay had left behind in their rush were still in the same spot. Zane’s pot of stew was still on the stove, and likely went bad from just sitting there for weeks on end. Cole's punching bag was still on the floor from him breaking the hook on the ceiling. Nya’s small project sat on her and Jay’s shared desk, unfinished, her tools had remained untouched with a light layer of dust on them. Finally, Lloyd’s new favorite stuffed dragon was on the floor, its stitched smile left a sick feeling in Kai’s gut, it was almost as if the smile was mocking the tragedy.

Kai picked the plush up and brushed some of the dust off of it. It was weighted, along with the pastel green hoodie that Lloyd had also gotten for his 18th birthday. Kai clutched the green plush as close to his chest as he could bring it, and fell to the floor in misery. If only he could’ve pulled them up.

Maybe he wouldn’t be all alone.

–

Kai walked out to the training area, when he felt the world underneath him begin to shake and he stumbled as he tried to keep his balance. He yelped as he finally fell over. Kai picked himself up off of the ground and dusted himself off. He ran out of the monastery as fast as could and spotted it.

A large magenta crack in the sky was the first of its kind that Kai had seen since the Merge. Kai shivered at it, the catastrophic event had completely ruined the color magenta for him. Kai froze as something tried to crawl out of the cracks. Kai stared for a bit before throwing his fire up into the air at the weird creature, trying to figure out its weaknesses and its strengths. Despite what Jay might say about him, he is a very good battle strategist, he knew how to analyze a battle just from a single swing of his swords. 

The weird creature let out a sharp screech when Kai felt a pull on him as the strange cracks grew larger. He knew this pull, he could never forget it. It was the last thing he felt when his baby brother and sister were yanked in the middle of that horrible storm. 

Kai kept on blasting his fire at the monster until one of his flames hit the one of crack in the sky. He watched as the crack seemed to close, and he got an idea. Kai powered up his flames until he felt confident enough to finally launch it into the crack, he continued until the crack was completely sealed, cutting off the monster from leaving through the crack.

Kai panted as he felt the lashing effects of over using his powers. He felt so exhausted, but he also felt a bit of fear strike through him. What had the Merge done to the world? Everything was so unstable. He wished that he had everyone else, he didn’t think he could ever live without his family.

Kai never really liked to be alone at all. Ever since his parents had left him and Nya, he always had abandonment issues. If Nya strayed too far, Kai would cry until he found her. Even now, he has grown used to living with multiple people, so the loneliness shoots through him worse than a burning hot blade. Kai truly hoped that he’ll be able to see his family once more.

NEWEST VERSION:

The storm was pure madness. Nothing was making sense and there was no chance to stay still, everyone had to be on their toes unless they wanted to risk the lives of both themselves and the civilians. 

Kai swung his swords down to cut a rope that was trapping a young boy. The brown haired boy clung to Kai, who gently set him down onto the ground below. He waved to Cole, who nodded. It can’t get any worse than this, Kai thought as his limbs started to lock up with exhaustion. 

“Kai, get back to the Bounty! There's still people in the middle of the storm,” Lloyd called out to him from atop the Bounty. 

“I’ll be right there! Then we can do all the things Jay planned out for you, it’ll be a doozy!” Kai said with a smile.

Lloyd huffed, a false look of annoyance on his face as he dramatically shook his head. “Just get up here and help out,” he said, letting out an amused chuckle. 

Kai leapt onto floating pieces of concrete, making his way up to Lloyd, who grabbed onto his arm, pulling him onto the wooden deck of the Bounty. He watched Pixal grab the wheel and began turning the ship towards the heart of this whole mess. 

He heard a thump next to him as Cole leapt onto the Bounty next to him. “Anything good, Cole?” Kai asked, bumping elbows with his best friend. 

Cole shook his head, looking a bit distant. “No, I saved a kid whose dad got crushed in the rubble,” he said dejectedly. 

Kai gave him a sympathetic look. These times were the hardest, when they couldn’t save someone. It was always a constant memory loop of ‘what if’s’. 

Kai put a reassuring hand on Cole’s shoulder and the other gave him a sad smile. The Bounty suddenly began to violently shake, which caught them off guard. Kai and Cole held onto each other, trying not to fall over.

Jay flew in close with his bright blue mech, looking a bit nervous. “Uh, I think the storm is pulling us in!” He cried out, turning around and using the mech’s jets in an attempt to fly out of the storm. 

“This energy, it’s too unstable! I can see it all around, it’s going to suck us in!” Lloyd cried out, looking around in fear. Kai and the others couldn’t see what he was seeing, but they knew it couldn’t be good based on Lloyd’s strong reaction. 

“Jay, land on the Bounty and get out of that mech!” Kai heard Nya call out from a piece of rubble, jumping down onto the deck to stand beside Lloyd, who looked worried, fear evident in his green and red eyes.

Jay nodded, but a pull from the storm violently pulled and yanked him into the middle of the storm with a scream. His mech was unable to withstand the pull of the storm that was getting stronger by the minute. 

Kai stood there, stunned. It had all happened so fast. Grief flooded through him and he flinched when Nya let out a guttural cry as she watched her Yin disappear into who knows what and who knows where.

“Jay!” Zane cried out as he had pulled a civilian on board. Zane ran towards where Jay used to be and he was suddenly hit by some kind of strange tech that didn’t look like it was from Ninjago. 

Cole and Lloyd cried out for him as Zane was sucked into the center just like Jay was. Not even a scream was heard as they watched him disappear into the eye of the unforgiving storm. Kai felt useless, two of his brothers were gone and he hadn’t even moved an inch out of shock.

“Cole, Kai, get away from there!” Lloyd called out, snapping Kai out of it. 

Cole nodded, trying to fight the pull. Unfortunately, he and Kai were both at the bow of the ship, which meant they were the closest to the storm which also made it extremely difficult to get towards the others, who were up at the wheel.

Cole, who had been closer to the storm than Kai, tried his best to fight the pull of the storm. Kai finally grabbed onto the ladder that led to the control room, reaching out a hand to Cole, but he was too far away from Kai. Before anyone could reach him, another strong pull came and Cole was sucked in with a scream, hitting one of the dragon heads with a loud thunk.

Kai could only spare a few moments to try and attempt to process that 3 of his brothers were gone just like that. He let out an involuntary whimper before having to climb up the ladder. 

As soon as Kai was up and with the others, he looked at Pixal. She met his gaze and she nodded, grabbing Kai’s hand in support. She and Zane both had an understanding that Kai was the least emotionally stable of the bunch. Even after all of Wu’s teachings after Nya sacrificed herself, he was still a lose cannon.

Pixal let go of Kai’s hand and used the steering wheel to try and turn the ship. It only managed to turn to the left side before the pull strained the ship’s steering. “The Bounty is moving as fast and as hard as it can go, we’re going to be sucked in,” Pixal said dejectedly. Nya, Lloyd, Kai, and Pixal all shared a sad silent moment. “We can get out if we use the pieces of Ninjago city, but it is extremely risky,” Pixal suggested, but Lloyd shook his head. 

“It’s way to dangerous, it’s better if we stick together,” Lloyd told them. His face was full of uncertainty and grief. 

Another violent pull yanked the Bounty closer, shaking the ship and causing them all to fall over. Kai fell and hit his head on the wheel. The work was dizzy and He heard Lloyd scream, Kai got up and looked down to see that Nya, Lloyd, and Pixal had been thrown onto the deck. 

When Lloyd fell, he hit his left shoulder on the railing. He was knocked off the ship and was gripping the railing for dear life as he was being pulled towards the storm. 

Kai climbed down the ladder, trying to fight the pull of the storm. He watched in horror as the rail broke off. Time seemed to slow down as Lloyd was about to be sucked as well, but Nya thankfully grabbed Lloyd’s hand just in time.

Kai ran over just as Nya was also pulled off of the Bounty. Kai quickly jumped off of the Bounty, grabbing Nya’s other hand, quickly latching his other hand onto the still intact railing of the Bounty. Kai felt dread run through him as the Bounty was still getting sucked further into the storm slowly but surely.

He looked around, looking for Pixal, but he couldn’t find her. He knew what had happened the second he couldn’t find her. She’d been sucked into the storm, and Kai wasn’t fast enough to help her.

The pull was straining his grip on the railing and Kai gritted his teeth. His head was ringing with a possible concussion and he felt blood dripping down his forehead. 

Kai tried his best to hold onto Nya, who was also trying her best to hold onto Lloyd. “Don’t let go!” Kai screamed, his voice was filled with pure emotion. He felt tears burn his eyes, knowing that this was likely the end.

“I’m slipping!” Lloyd suddenly shouted, panic laced in his voice. He was unfortunately at the end of their small link, trying to hold onto his sister. Out of pure desperation, Lloyd tried grabbing onto Nya’s arm with both hands, his claws instinctively digging into her arm. Kai winced, seeing the blood start to flow down her arm.

“Lloyd!” Nya yelled, trying to fight through the burning feeling in her arm, trying to pull their younger brother up with her arm. 

Just a bit more and Nya could pull Lloyd to safety. 

Just a bit more and then Kai could pull all of them to safety. 

Lloyd fought tears as Kai tried to pull the two up, but the pull was too strong, his grip was loosening as he grew more and more tired. The pull of the storm was growing too strong for him to keep up. 

“Please! Don’t let go! Don’t let go!” Kai begged his siblings, tears freely flowing out of his eyes as he tried not to sob at their impending doom. 

Lloyd looked up and met the others' eyes, and Kai and Nya saw the anguish and fear in his eyes, tears were flowing down his face. Kai grunted as he dug his nails into the wood of the railing. 

“Don’t let—“ Kai was cut off as Lloyd was suddenly yanked into the middle of the storm with a scream. 

“No!” Kai and Nya had screamed out in anguish. 

Kai’s grip finally on his sister’s hand snapped and Nya let out a scream as she was also pulled in. Kai could only watch as his baby sister and brother, both whom he basically raised, were pulled into the middle of the storm. Not knowing what was going to happen to them.

He watched knowing that he was all alone. That all of his brothers and his sisters were gone.

Suddenly, there was a flash of white light, and Kai could only sob as his world broke down around him, fading into darkness.

—

It was still dark out as he made his way through foreign lands. Kai had been traveling to the Monastery for weeks by now and he was itching to arrive at the monastery. He had searched far and wide, looking for his home. 

Unfamiliarity was all around him and it left a sting of frustration flowing through him. He glared at the broken railing and the claw marks etched into the wood in front of it. It was a glaring reminder of his failures.

At first, it all seemed like a cruel joke on Kai, like the others were going to pop out and tell him that everything was fine. That he didn’t just randomly wake up on the Bounty, alone, bruised, and bloody.

He could remember all of the horrifying details of that horrifying storm like it was happening in the present. 

It had even been Lloyd’s eighteenth birthday and the ninjas had wanted to celebrate it like any other day, as per Lloyd’s request. Jay had a list of activities he’d planned out, excitedly chatting about it only an hour before the storm started while he and Kai were playing video games.

Unfortunately, none of it ever happened as cracks in the sky had caused them to drop everything to once again save people. 

Kai flinched as he recalled the screams. Families ripped to pieces, homes shattered, blood splattered in a barrage of debris and rubble.

Kai himself still didn’t know what to feel about the Merge. Emotions never were his forte, he had always struggled to figure out what exactly he was feeling, much less know how to deal with it. 

Kai still had yet to find any of his teammates. He had made sure to look around while he traveled, but to no avail. He was growing tired of everything. All of the loss, all of the pain, the loneliness. 

It was like the universe itself hated him. Kai let out a shaky breath. That was fine by him, he hated himself too.  

— 

Kai could barely think straight as he finally approached the Monastery, the familiar red and gold doors seemed to welcome him as he flew in closer. 

Finally, after all this time, he was finally home. He felt tears pool in his eyes as he tried to process all of his emotions. The thing that disturbed him the most, was that the place looked eerily still, something that was never a thing with him and the others.

The Bounty rumbled as it finally came to a stop, and Kai walked out onto the deck. He glanced around, waiting for someone to just jump on board and ask him who he was. Waiting for a flash of anything, even that stupid chicken Master Wu had loved so much. 

As Kai got off of the Bounty, he looked at the Monastery. Surely someone would have run to see who was here? Right? It was something they were all trained to do. 

He pushed the doors open, cringing as they loudly creaked. Unease and fear pooled in his gut as he stepped past the heavy wooden doors. Kai frowned as he walked, every step felt heavy and his hands fidgeted with his gi anxiously.

Kai made his way through the courtyard, and eventually got to the Monastery. He rushed in, but to his dismay, he found nothing but dust. 

He walked into the game room, looking at it all. The controllers that Kai and Jay had left behind in their rush were still in the same spot.

He glanced at the kitchen. Zane’s pot of stew was still on the stove, likely moldy from just sitting there for weeks on end. 

He walked down the hallway, looking into each room. Cole's punching bag was still on the floor from him breaking the hook on the ceiling, sawdust was still littered all over the floor around it.

Nya’s small project sat on her and Jay’s shared desk, unfinished. Her tools remained untouched with a light layer of dust on them.

Finally, Lloyd’s new favorite stuffed dragon was on the floor. Its hand stitched smile left a sick feeling in Kai’s gut, it was almost as if the smile was mocking the tragedy.

Kai walked into the room and picked the plush up and brushed some of the dust off of it. It was weighted, along with the pastel green hoodie that Lloyd had also gotten for his 18th birthday. Jay had made the plushy for him, and Zane made the hoodie.

Kai clutched the green plush as close to his chest as he could bring it, and fell to the floor in misery. If only he could’ve pulled them up.

Maybe he wouldn’t be all alone.

—

Kai walked out to the courtyard when he felt the ground underneath him begin to shake and he stumbled as he tried to keep his balance, but he eventually yelped as he finally fell over. 

Kai picked himself up off of the ground and dusted himself off. He ran out of the monastery as fast as could and spotted it.

A large and bright magenta crack in the sky was the first of its kind that Kai had seen since the storm. 

Kai shivered just looking at it, the catastrophic event had completely ruined the color magenta for him. 

Kai froze as something tried to crawl out of the cracks. Kai stared for a bit before throwing his fire up into the air at the weird creature, trying to figure out its weaknesses and its strengths. 

Despite what Jay might say about him, he is a very good battle strategist, he knew how to analyze a battle just from a single swing of his swords. Years of battles and wars left him with sharpened senses and tactics. 

The weird tentacle creature let out a sharp ear piercing screech as it’s slimy skin began to char at the heat of Kai’s flames. 

He felt a familiar pull on him as the strange cracks in the sky grew larger. Kai knew this pull, he could never forget it. It was the last thing he felt when his brother and sister were yanked in the middle of that horrible storm that tore his entire family apart in a mere 2 hours. 

Kai kept blasting his fire at the monster until one of his flames missed and hit one of the cracks in the sky. He watched in wonder as the crack seemed to slightly close, and he got an idea. 

He powered up his flames until he felt confident enough to finally launch it into the crack. Kai continued firing until the crack was completely sealed shut, cutting off the strange monster from leaving through the crack.

He panted as he felt the lashing effects of over using his powers. He felt so exhausted, but he also felt a bit of fear strike through him. What had that storm done to the world, to Ninjago? Everything was so unstable. He wished that he had everyone else.

Zane would tell him what everything was, what was wrong with the world. Pixal would plan and articulate everything. Nya and Jay would get to work coming up with some kind of gadget. Cole would be hyping everyone up. Lloyd, well, he would already be in battle, guiding them through the fight and offering his support.

Kai felt so alone, so useless without his team. They were together through thick and thin. It was strange, being alone for so long. When his parents had to leave him and Nya, he always had abandonment issues. If Nya strayed too far, Kai would cry until he found her. 

He had grown used to living with multiple people. They’d been by each other's side for over a decade now. The loneliness shoots through him worse than a burning hot blade. He could only sink down to the brick floor of the monastery’s courtyard and sulk. Kai could only hope that he’d be able to see his family once more.

He could only hope to fix his mistakes. To correct what he couldn’t do. Pull them to safety.

ORGINAL CONTENT (insert eyes emoji cause im on desktop)

Not on my watch!!!

I am dying to know about this. I am a sucker for original stories

(oh yeah the wip game btw)

Not on my watch!!! is a character vignette starring my oc, Nimble.

For a little background, Amvrosiy Nights is a sci-fi cyberpunk world set on a planet called Svetovid. Human's conquered the planet and its people, the Tovids, several hundred years ago and Svetovid was labeled a "Pleasure Planet" for the empire and over time the one remaining city is a massive den of vice.

Nimble is a sixteen year old hacker/netrunner/cyberruner/insert whichever term ends up winning out who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Or bloody. When she was six or so Nimble's mother was murdered by a banned patron of the brothel she worked at at the time. Nimble was raised by the other girls at the club collectively.

So to the WIP you picked:

Nimble is spying while snacking at a food cart when she hears this woman calling out to her little boy to run. It's a flashback to a point in her past and she's on it. She jumps in the middle of it, stopping the confrontation before the asshole can hurt the stranger, and uses some of her kit to subdue him before the stranger's partner, a well connected Tovid, shows up to clean up the mess.

This project was me rolling the dice, quite literally, to clear my mind and feel productive as the stresses of the world started to weigh down this fall. It's slow going, as most original content stuff can be and I'm stewing it for now as I attempt to actually finish the other story I'm writing.

Nimble came screaming out of the ether with all the energy you might expect from a teenager with blades installed in their arms and feet and enough cyberware to make Adam Smasher blink (okay maybe not that much but Vic might be concerned if he saw her lol) She'll be a force in Amvrosiy, whether the city is ready for her or not.

I got bored so here's a lil drabble I made about Loki and Alex for funises

------------------------------------------------------------

"You aren't my child, Alex Fierro." Loki stated, crossing his arms, "I may have created you, and we share the same face. But you will never be one of my children."

He didn't say it maliciously. He didn't grin as he said it, finding joy in what he was doing. No, he just looked at her with an expressionless face and stated it matter-of-factly, as if it was as simple as saying the sky is blue.

He continued, "Neither is Samirah Al-Abbas or any of the demigods I have created over the years. My children..." He sighed, "My true children...are Fenrisúlfr, Jörmungand, Hela, Sleipnir, Narvi and Vali."

Then came the final blow, the part that even Loki himself looked pained to say as if even he didn't want it to be this way.

"You—and all other demigods I have brought into these worlds— are simply just a creation to me. A by-product of a night with some insignificant mortal. You, are not my child and I am not your mother."

----------------

Oh great once again Alex has gotten disowned by her parent

I don't know why I did this lmao, I usually feel like he does have some flicker of love for all his kids but I just wanted to hurt Alex (if she'd even care) for once.

And also Loki only truly loving his monsterous kids (+ Narvi and Vali) is a depressing concept to think about that is probably closer to canon than I like :(

I feel like the ending here is kinda unsatisfying but I have other projects to work on and homework to do.

Also fun fact originally i was gonna have it show Loki slightly be remorseful at the end (Kinda did slightly with this line: 'Loki himself looked pained to say as if even he didn't want it to be this way')

It was orginally gonna end with

"I'm sorry I can't love you like you deserve".

But i felt that was kinda OOC

BSD 108 – Will DoA arc be like Avengers Infinity War & Endgame?

Hello~~~

Omg this chapter was sooo delicious – me Fyodor stan having time of my life xD His performance and his final words mocking Sigma was 10000/10 – he is truly fascinating and complex villain, I love him xD

OK, let’s get serious XDD

For some time I was wondering how Asagiri intends to finish this arc... Everything indicate that it will end soon, but at the same time given how OP Fukuchi and Fyodor are in their respective fields – some deus ex machina for ADA to win would be unsatisfactory to me honestly. Initially I thought that Bram or Aku will take over and regain control of all vampires and stop Fukuchi, but… after this chapter looks like there is no time for that xD

So I think DOA’s plan won’t be stopped at all, but they will achieve what they want just like Thanos in Avengers Infinity War.

By this I mean that DOA will succeed and create temporary reality – first using One Order to destabilize current world and then using the Book to create new one without abilities. Symbolically, destruction and rebirth always go hand in hand and you can’t have one without another.

Then we will get time skip and Endgame equivalent – our characters living in new world and getting that something is wrong and need to be changed. Maybe reality without abilities would not be so peaceful, who would have guessed that xD Also maybe there will be some rip-off effect of changing reality or some enemy will appear, who guards canon timeline xD Possibilities are endless – it just depends on what Asagiri has in mind and what story he wants to tell.

After all, the core of the story is that abilities are not source of evil and are just part of everyone’s self as projection of fear/greed/anger/and so on. Though world without abilities would be tempting to some characters, which abilities were partly source of suffering - like to Atsushi, who was hesitating whether DOA plan should be stopped. But still, negative traits are still part of everybody and they just need to be balanced by good ones and choices to be better person.

Other random thoughts related to chapter:

Fyodor’s seizure to words ‘help me’ didn’t look fake and it reminded me of how N tried to take control of Verlaine in SB. But I guess it was just temporary and Fyodor regained control and used it to fool Sigma. Ofc it can be that he faked all - we will see if there is more to it or not. Btw I still believe that Fyodor’s backstory is akin to Verlaine or Chuuya – that he was tampered artificially by military to get powerful ability and he started to resent world and abilities because of that. Personality disorder would be indeed cliché and it was already done once in 55 Minutes LN, so I hope that Asagiri has something more interesting for Fyodor in store.

Gogol where are you 👀 I wonder if he is author of the note and that he simply wanted to sabotage Fyodor xD he is character with much potential, I hope he wasn’t just in this arc to set up duel between Dazai and Fyodor in this arc

Me Bram confusion😵 previous chapter pretty set up Bram rejecting passivity and trying to fight for Aya’s future. But this one kinda backed out of this, so I am not really sure where his arc is leading to for now xD but maybe some heroic act later on

Though depending on how things will go - self-sacrifice will suit Fukuchi or Mori too as a way to undo their wrongdoings. Again, possibilities are endless.

Fukuzawa’s state – still I would say it is 50/50 given how healing abilities work whether Asagiri needs character to live or not. Nonetheless, I was expecting his death for a while and it is more plausible option for story sake – Ranpo just needs some character development and Asagiri often use mentor’s death for that. Imo Kunikida as next ADA director was red herring and Ranpo fits better for that role given Agency’s orgin.

Btw i don’t think Sigma will die.

Ofc, it is just speculation and I am not 100% sure that story will go that way, since BSD tends to be so unpredictable. But imo Asagiri didn’t recently mention for no reason that he was inspired by Avengers and that ideally he wants one more season for anime too xD

Thanks for reading and have a nice day 💖💖

hey kelsey! idk how active you are on here, but i just saw that you wiped your old blog and wanted to send a message! as cheesy as this may sound, the love letters series and your writing/blog got me through my freshman year of college. for some reason i started feeling nostalgic of that time and wanted to check up on your blog and see how you’re doing! i fell so in love with your characters and the story you created. your blog really felt like a little “community” and i loved hearing about your writing process + the behind the scenes glimpses. wednesdays at noon became the highlight of my week..lol. but anyways i just wanted to let you know that i was thinking of you :)) i hope you are still writing because you have a true talent. love letters always felt like more than just a fan fiction and your passion showed!

hi!! sorry it took so long to answer this. i was, in fact, not active on this blog at all this summer. or, really, since may. and i did wipe that blog last november, so if anything's gone on over there, i haven't really seen it.

this was so sweet to read, however. i read it the first day that it came in and it made my day then, and it's made my day again now. funnily enough, writing that series also got me through my freshman year of college. and my sophomore year, and my junior year. i, honest to god, miss that community more than anything. i sometimes go through very brief, spasmodic phases where i think i want to pick it up again, but because of where i stand with the band now and also just purely moving onto projects that are quote-unquote more obtainable and suited to my current interests, writing style, and schedule, i know it's just my brain confusing wanting to write that specific work with wanting to have a place to talk with everybody about writing again. not necessarily that project, just anything in general.

i never took any ask i ever got for granted, and having so many people to talk to about something i loved so passionately definitely got me through my college years, which did turn out to be some of the hardest of my life! wednesdays at noon were also my favorite. i remember there would be wednesday nights where i'd check out of homework time, or writing time, or even like tv with friends/my family just so i could go answer the asks that'd piled in my askbox since posting. i would jokingly walk out of the room and say it was time to go upkeep with my correspondence.

so i hope you're doing well!! since setting the fic aside last year, i have since rewrote the first book in an orginal format, went through the drafting process, and walked away hating it, wrote a second unrelated book and Loved it (and still have the drafting process awaiting me once i figure out my future law school things), and i am now finally looping back around to turning it into something original again. i've sort of come to the realization that i can't really continue with any other book ideas i have until i get this one right and get it out of my mind, because i really do just love the story (or what's become of it) and the characters (or what's become of them) so much. i've become very, very busy as of late, but i'm still writing!! and i know i always will be in part because of how much having that blog showed me i could love it and could share my love for it.

if you don't have an electronic copy of the files and you'd like one, always feel free to message. i don't have much to do with it anymore, but i know so many people enjoy it, and it makes me happy knowing other people can continue to enjoy it even unfinished ♡ and thank you so much for the message. it means the world!

[cheezyartarchive]

Intro post!

Yeah hi uh. This is Ally from @cheezyharu, I need somewhere to archive my arts on tumblr and not let them be overshadowed by my other reblogs, and so this place exist.

All art posts will be posting on main then reblogged over here, with most of the tags intact.

Tag directory under cut!

Project Rosemary: An original story. Basically the world is riddled with monsters known as Sombrias and only people known as Illuminaires can defeat them. Our protagonist, Aziel, is an Illuminaire in training attending an academy specialized in training them, and together with his schoolmates, shenanigans ensues.

House of Abnormalities: ANOTHER original story. Where after a bunch of children got rescued from cultish child experiments, they were hidden from the rest of the world, being put into a secluded orphanage to live the rest of their lives in solitude. Haven't fully fleshed out but my 2 main sonas are in here so-

Song OC: Canon divergence rhythm games AU except idk what canon is and am just fucking around. It revolves around Song Gijinkas I made called Songs (I suck at naming lol). Technically the main AU is Phigr.Os Program, and is mainly about Phigros orginals, but since it's not just Phigros songs that has gijinkas, but also other games like Chunithm (and other games that had a collab with Phigros), I'll tag as this to generalize them.

Pokemon OC: Just a series of Pokemon Gijinkas I made over the years. I usually only come back to this tag every Pokeddexy so... don't expect much.

Misc. OC: Guys in other franchises that I don't draw much but am still into, or ones that just don't belong in any project/fandom in particular. That's it lol.

Fanart: Exactly what it is, just a bunch of fanart that I'll group into one tag for convenience :V

Musings: Text posts I posted/reblogged from main, topic varies and I don't sent texts here often so don't expect much from this tag :V

My friend has this painting in his home that depects Eve at the fall of Adam. A great peice in my opinion his wife is an artist and I always assumed she painted it; but there seems a bit of a story behind it along with how this painting has opened his mind to the idea aginst orginized religion and the LDS (Mormon) church in all.

This is his story:

Back in November, 2023, I wrote about the origins of my disdain for the LDS cult. What I never mentioned was the painting that kind of started this ball rolling. It is a painting of Eve, depicting the Fall of Adam from the Old Testament. Lindsay purchased the painting from her college friend, who painted it as a project. The panting is huge. It is about seven feet long. Eve is lying down, passed out, with an apple clutched in her hand and the serpent's tail just visible around her knee.

For those who don't know, according to myth, the Fall of Adam is essentially the catalyst for the beginning of the world. Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden for an unknown amount of time. They were naked and unashamed because they were innocent. God commanded that Adam and Eve may eat anything in the garden except for the fruit of the tree of knowledge, lest they be destroyed. The serpent Lucifer tempted Eve to eat the fruit, and she did. Because of that, she gained knowledge. She was able to convince Adam to eat the fruit. Suddenly they were aware of their nakedness and were ashamed. God came into the garden and saw that Adam and Eve were hiding their nakedness from him. He asked if they ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge, and they responded that they did. God was angered and cast them out of the Garden of Eden and punished them by making them toil in the dirt to and to suffer death.

When I was a believer, I loved the painting because it depicted the events that started everything. Without the Fall of Adam, we would never have the society we have now. Eve had to be tempted, and succumb to temptation before we could be born. Ironically, one of Eve's punishments was that childbirth would be painful for women. Thanks God!

This painting was the subject of some controversy in the ward we lived in while we were in Tacoma, WA. We used to hold scout meetings at my house regularly. One of the moms came to pick up her kid, and she saw the painting. She said nothing to me, but ratted me out to the bishop. He never saw the painting himself, but I was called in to discuss it. I had no idea going into his office. So I was blindsided. Like, why the hell are we talking about this painting being pornography?

The bishop went on to tell me that more than half of the elders in the ward suffered from pornography addiction. (ADHD sidetrack: I found out last night that the number 1 PornHub keyword search in Utah is "Mormon.") I told the bishop that other men's addictions are not my problem. He told me that either the painting comes down, or we don't hold scout meetings at my house anymore. I still held scout meetings at my house – we just conducted our business outside at the picnic table, or in the garage.

There was a sequence of events that happened afterward, but needless to say, I was really mad at the bishop for demanding that I remove our painting from our own house. And he never saw it prior to telling me to do so. He later recanted when he finally paid a visit some weeks later. He said that it wasn't something that he would hang in his house, but he didn't find anything offensive or pornographic about it.

The funny part is we'd have missionaries over regularly so we could feed them. But before dinner, we used to set up a couple of chairs in the living room. Lindsay and I would sit on our couch, just under the painting, and the missionaries would sit on the chairs, staring directly at the painting. Lindsay and I always found it kind of funny to watch the different reactions of some of the missionaries as they gazed up at Eve's nakedness. But I digress...

The closed-mindedness of our ward bishop, the anger of that awful squat mother and her holier than thou attitude towards us afterward, and the overall vibe I got from these people who were supposed to be inspired left a really bad taste in my mouth.

I loved that painting. The bishop tainted it with his dirty mind and accusations that Lindsay and I had pornography hung up in our house. Eve isn't pornography – Eve is art. She is beautiful art. She is painted in a unique style. The colors are beautiful, and the artist was very talented. Eve's proportions are a bit funky, but that's the artistic style of how the artist wanted to convey her. The damn thing should be in a gallery! But lucky for us, it has graced our houses throughout Lindsay's and my entire marriage.

But the bishop tainted it.

It took me a while, but I eventually stopped associating Eve for the awful imagery that the bishop dreamt up. I stopped feeling angry every time I staired at the painting. Eventually, I stopped thinking about that terrible experience entirely.

For years, I've deconstructed the Mormon Cult. For years, I've studied, researched, listened to podcasts, watched interviews, and drew further and further away from my inherited religion. Family trauma was a major influence in my walking away from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Bullshit. But I'll never forget that the bishop in my ward was a big part of the catalyst that got me questioning everything I believed – everything I blindly followed and would have happily continued to follow hadn't I been so enraged by his words.

In all the years, I still continued to love this painting. I stopped believing in the fairy tale about it and accepted it as just that – a fairy tale. And then I started to understand that horrible nature of the lesson in this story. Do what you're told and God will love you. Disobey and God will punish you out of spite. He will claim he does it because he loves you, and without him, you are nothing.

Lindsay and I were having a conversation last week about this painting. It still adorns the wall in our home. I told her that I still love this painting, but I don't know why. I don't believe in the fairy tale that it represents, and I certainly don't believe in the God depicted in the Bible. So why do I not tear it down and burn it in my burn barrel?

Lindsay told me that perhaps I look at it differently now. Perhaps it represents the start of my religious deconstruction, and because I am free from the clutches of that evil cult, I'm happy and feel content. Some may call that joy. But to the believers in the cult of Jesus Christ, they do not think I am capable of experiencing joy because that is a feeling reserved for those who intentionally seek Christ, or God, or some other religious bullshit. (side note: that's kind of a shitty thing to believe... you should evaluate your belief system if you think that I'm incapable of experiencing joy just because I don't believe in your backward superstitions).

So, Eve represents the beginning of my march to freedom. Freedom from religion, freedom from gaslighting, guilt, and shame; freedom from being extorted 10% of my pay to prop of a fake god, freedom from being coerced into doing things I'd rather not do, and eventually freedom from my father, who in the end killed our relationship with this fucking religion.

Ironic that a painting that was meant to depict the beginning of all Christianity now means the beginning of my quest for the truth about the cult I was born into and my separation from it.

What’s this? A new post in less than a week?

Ah, well I have lots on my mind! There have been a lot of progress for Journey of the Phoenix from designs to story. Deciding what to share and what not to, after all I wouldn’t want to spoil to much.

But I decided a good alternative was to just generally talk about thing that may or may not be included. General information about some of the changes made to the story. For retelling sake.

1. Aphmau(mcd character) will go by a different name. To better fit the world and story. We decided to go with Sylvana. For those who don’t know, it’s the name for her mom in my street. However for Dairies we have given it to Aphmau.

2.While at the time there are no characters being purposefully taken out. There will be side stories that may be cut, as they don’t progress the story in a way that makes sense.

3.At the moment they’re are no confirmed or denied relationship within Journey of the Phoenix. So any artwork between two or more characters is completely up to interpretation.

4.This is a RE-telling, it doesn’t directly involve or correlate with Jess in her team at all. This is a fun project me and a few close friend have decided to put together.

5.Lastly inspiration credits and base credits of course go to Aphmau on YouTube. However besides those basic credits. Everything else is completely orginal based on my own interpretation.

6.All artwork so far is done solely by me, if it is not I will tag said artist.

7.While I plan to post once a week, there will be times were a post more frequently. This is based on how much content or information I have to share.

Eventually I will make a master post with links to posts like this. I also plan to post a Q&A soon.

Thanks for reading! Here’s a little artwork as a treat.
