Flight risk anon back with another update on the animals! I now have a Gemcrusher I named after Meleager and a Royal Scarab I named after Venari. Both are combat-specialist bugs so I thought it would fit.

Update on the dazzling pandowl, I did the math and it would take 750 hours to get all the needed dazzling pandowls to summon it, and the devs are nerfing the speed boosts cause people learned how to fly using them.

Boooooo developers. That is. A lot of time to spend getting that dazzling pandowl.

Bug Venari :3

pandowl replied to your post: I’m having a night of feeling really discouraged...

It seems doubtful that aren’t a good enough writer. Plenty of great writers got rejected many, many times for their books. And self-publishing is damn hard. Getting your works out there to find your market takes skill, hard work and/or sheer luck. Many famous authors don’t find success until later in life. Which I’m guessing doesn’t help with your understandable despair and despondence. But I’ll be wishing you luck and offering you hugs in the meantime.

Thank you. This is such shitty, lonely work sometimes.

Have you heard of A Bride's Story/Otoyomegatari? Set in 19th Century Central Asia, it's a slice-of-life manga about former nomad Amir, recently married to Karluk, a boy eight years younger than her. Embroidery is a plot point more than a few times and is lavishly shown. I thought it might be up your alley! Google image search "Otoyomegatari embroidery" for a few page examples~

I had not! Thank you; it looks amazing!

I told you a while back about a friend(s) of mine with Dissociative Identity Disorder with a girlfriend and cats? Well~ They now have a steady, okay paying job that they love, their cats have been joined by a cute puppy and two bunnies, and they are now engaged. I thought I'd share the good news of another DID person with you!

That’s so good to hear thank you ❤

Well after hunting various creatures in the game I keep talking about, I've changed the Dazzling Wyvernia's name to Dagger because they have a 'fuck off distance' where if you're even remotely close enough to them to see their coloration they fly the fuck away again. Similarly my normal Wyvernia is now Sam because fuck it why not. The normal pandowl will be Phoenix and I've just decided to name the Dazzling Pandowl Wittebane if I can summon it. Also, Cherry the Dazzling Faerifly flies away when other people try to pet him, but will fly right into my hand the moment I stop moving. So yay.

Faerifly Cherry let ppl pet you challenge!

Absolute Causality

Went rummaging through my stash of prompts in an attempt to even sort of vaguely get back in the game. @pandowl sent a Sapphire prompt last September holy mother of-- which sounded like a fun challenge as I’ve only ever kind of dabbled in her and had her as a side character.

[prompt list]

Sapphire comes to Earth, and has all the answers. ~750 words.

---

The attack on the arena proceeds as it always does.

Ruby glares up at the rebels and shouts, half a challenge and half a taunt. Ruby cries out in warning. Ruby raises her fists and steps forward to fight, smooth white stone scorched under her feet.

They fail, all three, though one remains to bear witness, clinging to her physical form.

They approach: the rebel pearl who is to be her end, and the sword Sapphire has seen herself fall under countless times (still strange, she thinks, to see a pearl bearing it - though it matters little, as she will soon enough be nothing but nacreous flakes and an error thoroughly erased). The Diamonds demand utter certainty in everything they want done, and so Sapphires are made and consulted. There is no room for misinterpretations or mistakes.

The sword rises and falls, a steely flash - and then nothing.

Then, much later and in no time at all, Homeworld again. Her Diamond honouring her with a visit, a newly minted circlet inlaid with rose quartz upon Her azure brow. An elegant trophy and eloquent warning all in one, for all to see.

Sapphire never visits the Crystal System colonies again, but she hears plenty about how the Earth prospers under Pink Diamond’s glorious rule, and of the golden age she helped usher in.

-

The flight to Earth is brief and uneventful and pleasant enough.

Ruby and Ruby brag and boast and squabble and roughhouse among themselves as soon as they are out of the ship, as is their habit. Ruby joins in and stumbles, caught up in their silly game, right into Sapphire.

It is a strange, brief contact. Rare. Unusual. Inappropriate, certainly. Sapphire has not felt someone so close to her since the last time she perused this particular strand of fate, and she knows, just as she knows everything else about the path laid out before her, that she never will.

Nothing comes of it, as nothing should, or could.

-

The attack on the arena proceeds as it always does.

Ruby glares up at the rebels and shouts, half a taunt and half a challenge. Ruby cries out a threat. Ruby punches at the air, already shimmering with heat.

They fail, all three, though one remains, physical form whole, to suffer the consequences later.

They approach: the rebel pearl who is to be her end, and the sword Sapphire has seen herself fall under countless times (how odd, still, she thinks, that it is a pearl who wields it - though it is of no consequence, as she will soon enough be nothing but iridescent dust and a forgotten irregularity). The Diamonds demand utter certainty in everything they do, and Sapphire, like the rest of her cut, provides. There are no misinterpretations or mistakes.

The sword rises and falls, a flash of red - and then-

Nothing. And everything.

There is someone else here, now. Closer than anyone has ever dared to be, closer than she would ever have thought it was possible to be.

She is beside herself, but she is not herself at all, and in her place - someone strange and new, coming into being in defiance of all the established order of the universe, of everything that was ever supposed to happen. An explosion of possibility and potential, overwriting certainty.

Two hands, two gems, both the same deep red but of a different cut, both utterly familiar and exactly where they should be, but also not at all.

Then, just as quickly as she burst into life, she is gone, and Sapphire is spinning, falling, dazed, faced with the slightly off-white palm of her glove, and the clear, deep blue of her gem, just as they have always been. Unchanged, almost mockingly so, when nothing is what it was supposed to be, what it was going to be, among angry cries at the escaping rebels and the tiny, confused sounds Ruby is making right next to her. Sapphire stares, finds no precedent, and understands nothing. Rubs at the sudden cold absence on her left palm as she stammers half-apologies for her supposed failure, and stops herself, barely, from reaching out towards Ruby, towards her-

You will be broken for this, Blue Diamond’s judgement and sentence echo above the displeased, scandalised murmuring of her court, over Ruby’s desperate pleas for mercy, but Sapphire cannot see a future where this comes to pass. She cannot see it because it will not happen, because Sapphire has decided she cannot allow it and does not want it to. It is an altogether different kind of certainty than what she, ever merely the observer, is used to, but no less potent.

She grabs her future by the hand, and steers fate into the unknown.
