[goldleaf-art]

One day i’ll draw the tatooine part of the tatooine codywan au i have rotisserie chickening in my head but it is not this day :)

[theowlgoesmoo]

Sure, hats and coats and whatnot are great for fighting the cold, but you know what really does the trick? A thermos of steaming hot cocoa to split. Give it a few seconds, sweetpea. It'll be the perfect temperature in no time in this weather.

[goupii]

ok well you wanted some kid owen and i had this in store so

[somerandomcryptid]

More sketches of self inserting into @calamari-minecraft-corner's fic penpal! On this episode, cuddles and unhingedness (not at the same time)

Anatomy is definitely fucked up but that's what I get for not using references

Cryptid is very mentally stable and not at all unhinged.... yep. Totally. No fascination with death or anything. Nope.

Btw they will probably be a follow up to this once I decided how Dream would feel about it, I'm heavily leaning towards would totally let them but idk, what do y'all (especially cala) think?

In contrast I am basically certain Wren would not be ok with using a teenager as a test subject because I mean she already agreed to die and stuff, and this a literal teenager, she doesn't want them involved with any of this shit, frankly she doesn't want anyone including herself involved in this shit but she's already in deep

Damn this was just supposed to be a few sketches for hahas but I've got too many ideas ashsjoshsk

Make Up Sex | Lee Jeno

Summary: You've been hiding a big secret from your husband Jeno. What happens when he finds out?

Genre: Established relationship AU, angsty, suggestive, baby daddy Jeno

Word Count: 1k

A/n: We're baaaaaack! We're sorry it's been a while, so here have some juicy Jeno baby daddy angst xx requests are open!

It was past midnight when you got home from work. You felt terrible for missing Mac's bedtime for the fifth time this week.

Right now, all you wanted was to curl up in bed next to your husband Jeno and sleep for a year.

You tiptoed into the living room and set your bag down on the sofa. You flicked on the light, and saw Jeno sat at the dining table.

You yelped. "Jeno, what were you doing sitting in the dark?"

Jeno didn't reply. That's when you realised something was off with him. He was sat bolt upright, jaw clenched, hands balled up into fists.

Even though he was sat there in his blue polkadot pyjamas, he looked threatening. His dark hair framed his frown.

You edged closer. "What's the matter?"

Then you saw the bunch of folded letters in his hand. Your heart dropped into your stomach.

"Jeno, I can explain..."

Jeno met your eyes for the first time. His brown eyes were ice cold.

"When were you going to tell me about this?" He spat.

You pulled out the chair next to Jeno and sat down. You put your arm on his shoulder, but he flinched away from your touch.

Jeno shoved a piece of paper into your hands. "This is an offer letter for a job in Argentina."

You gulped.

Jeno flipped through the other letters. "It says here you applied six times." He said. "You applied for a job on the other side of the world six times and you didn't think to tell me about it once?"

You couldn't tell if Jeno looked more angry or just hurt.

"I was going to tell you..."

Jeno scoffed. "When? From the plane? Or were you just going to call me from... Rio or whatever the fuck the capital of Argentina is."

"I didn't think I'd actually get in..."

Jeno rolled his eyes.

You frowned. "You know, this is actually a really big deal. This is one of the most prestigious jobs in the world for a conservation biologist. Why can't you just be proud of me?"

Jeno stood up, the chair screaming against the wooden floor. He bowed dramatically.

"Congratulations, Y/n."

Tears pricked your eyes. "You don't have to be sarcastic."

Jeno stormed out of the living room, slamming the door.

You winced, tiptoeing behind him. "Shh, you'll wake Mac!" You eyed the door to the nursery, which was ajar.

"So now you remember we have a son! Are you just going to deprive your toddler of his mother for a whole year?"

"It's actually a two year programme..." you said, eyeing the carpet.

Jeno tugged his hand through his hair. "Well that's just perfect."

You followed Jeno into the bedroom.

"You know, Y/n. Normal people have affairs. They don't sneak off behind their partner's back and get a job a thousand miles away."

You slumped onto the bed, sighing. "Jeno, I just feel like I'm wasting away at my current job. I know I was made for some thing bigger. The project I'll be working on is to create an entirely new source of green energy. We could change the world."

Jeno sat down beside you on the bed. "I didn't know you hated your job."

You edged closer to Jeno, closing the gap between you and him on the bed. You tentatively touched his arm. He didn't push you away this time.

You traced your fingers up his biceps, across his neck and settled on his cheek. Jeno shut his eyes and leaned his face into your hand.

You looked as his dark eyelashes, and his plump lips. You just wanted to kiss his pain away.

Jeno kept his eyes squeezed shut as he spoke. "To me, you and Mac are my whole world. Are we not enough for you?" His voice cracked. "Am I not enough for you?"

You gulped. You knew what the answer was, but somehow, the words wouldn't come out.

You held Jeno's face in your hands. Then you leaned forwards and kissed him, hard.

Jeno grunted in surprise, but he quickly started to kiss you back. His large hands found your waist, and he pulled you onto his lap, so that you were straddling him.

You drank up Jeno's taste, the faint peach scent of his shampoo, the feel of his hard body underneath you.

You broke the kiss for a second, and pullled your shirt off. You unclasped your bra. The look in your husband's eyes was close to feral.

You were used to slow and gentle love making, with lots of soft smiles and giggles. This was completely different. Your entire body felt alight.

Jeno yanked off his own top. You eyed his muscled body, mouth watering. He picked you up in one arm and dropped you on the centre of the bed. He lay himself on top of you.

You kissed his neck whilst he took off the rest of your clothes.

Jeno dived between your legs, making you gasp.

--

After, you lay with your head on Jeno's chest. You were both still naked. The rhythmic thumping of Jeno's heart calmed your haywire nerves.

After a while of comfortable silence, Jeno cleared his throat.

"We're going to have to get Mac some sunglasses, for when we come down to visit. I hear it's pretty sunny in Argentina."

You shot up and turned to look at Jeno. His dark fringe was coveirng his eyes, and his cheeks were flushed.

"You're okay with me going?" You exclaimed.

Jeno sat up too. He wrapped his arms around you and pulled you into a hug.

"You should have told me sooner," Jeno said. "But... of course I'm happy for you. I always knew you were going to change the world. I'm sorry about how I reacted."

You couldn't stop the tears from falling down your cheeks. You buried your head in his shoulder and cried.

"I love you," you said, between sobs. "I'm sorry for keeping this from you."

Jeno wiped your tears away with his thumbs. He smiled. "Has anyone told you you're an ugly crier?"

You snorted. Jeno started to laugh, which made you laugh too. The tension in the room melted away, leaving only love.

You ran a finger down the centre of Jeno's chest, making him shudder with pleasure.

Jeno pulled the blanket over you both. "Two years isn't that long, when you think about it. Not when we've got forever."

"You helpless romantic, you..."

MAIN MASTERLIST

[rikebe]

couple of ladybug redesigns ive been doodling while stark raving mad about how this show for little kids doesnt have more badass outfits for the characters. i basically take a crack at these every couple of months but this is the first time im really pleased w what i came up with!

i def wanna come back to these and tweak them or come up with more designs for the other characters. and i esp wanna do a hawk moth chloe..........

long winded explanation of my design concepts unser the cut

ladybug - this is kind of my brain process here. her canon design (the worst one in the show imo) just kinda looks like a polkadot onesie so i really wantes to give her more bug-like features. i gave her black eyes bc i think its really cool when miraculiur holders change eye colours to something unnatural and i think its pretty neat and comicbook-y, and also insect-like. i also gave her bug-wing hairclips and changed her pigtails to twin buns so they had more of a shape contrast to the clips. for all wing details i added turquoise as a third colour to give it some SPICE.

my first designs (1-4) went off the idea of a short dress/coat with puff sleeves to suggest the shape of bug-legs, and the coat tails serving as her wings. i think its a cute design that fits marinette's girly style, but i wasn't quite happy with it.

i had the idea of her sleeves serving as her wings instead of her skirt or coat tails, and looked a little into chinese styles of clothing with big sleeves like this to lean more into marinette being half-chinese. i found a style called hanyuansu, which is modern clothes modified with hanfu elements and took inspiration from looking at a few outfits, so i tried a couple different takes. i really like design 6 with the big coat, but it seems really impractical for crime fighting :/ maybe its like a formalwear alt look lol.

7 is my final design that i'm happiest with, as it has all the elements i wanted but is still simple enough to not feel overloaded. i made the yoyo black for a little contrast and just bc i think it looks really cool!

queen bee - chloe was robbed of a character arc and a cool design. i will avenge her.

this ddsign came to me muchhh easier. a beehive hairdo seemed like a no-brainer, as well as fur trims both because she's a bee and because she's a bougie rich girl. i wanted the look to scream elegance and be a little retro and 60ies-inspired to go with her hairdo. the shape and tights are like a cute minidress married to a fur coat meets bee stinger, which is the vibe i want! the gloves are full chic and also sort of like black insect legs.

again a light blue wing detail for a pop of contrast and just because wings are fucking cool, and it gave me an excuse for 60ies inspired blue eyeshadow! yellow eyes cause i love weird eye colours, and it just looks a little creepy and jaundiced hehe

no mask because everyone knows its's her anyways, so why bother? plus masks are sort of annoying to design around lol. i kept her feelers because theyre really cute!

queen bee x butterfly - ive wanted chloe to become the new hawk moth since the concept was teased. well now my heart is broken forever, but i can still dream!! so this is like, an au where she has a full epic villain arc, keeps the bee and also gets the butterfly miraculous and becomes the new big bad!

i kept a lot of thw elements from the queen bee design but modified them. the dress changes shape into something less like a stinger and more like a chic mini winter coat to match the giant fur trim she has now! obviously huge moth wings are a must, and more of a staff than hawk moth's cane because, hey. she's royalty.

her queen bee feelers change to fuzzy moth ones, and the colours are a little different to match better with purple! plus a butterfly mask now, and white eyes with solid yellow irises to diffirenciate her from.......

hawk moth - who is a fashion designer and should really have a better look!

i gave him solid white eyes to make him look less human and goofy, and again for that cool comic-booky look.

i based the whole design on wanting his silouette to mimic thw butterfly miraculous, so i kept and exaggerated his canon lapels and added two pointy coat tails for the bottom of the wings.

the long coat is a bit more dramatique and less basic, and i tried to give his mask a little flourish to keep him from looking so much like a silver thumb.

the only place i kept the silver is for the vest, which is segmented to imitatw to look of a butterfly or moth's belly. i spent the least amount of time on this one but i'm pretty happy with it for a rougher draft than the other three designs.

★~ Aquarium date ft. Wriothesley!

HELLOOOOO I know u guys like wrio so much im gonna make another one hehe :p also im not sure if anyone has made something like this before? but if so, please lmk! this will take in modern au, please enjoyyy!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

- aquarium date with wrio wont be that often, it is a pretty big date and he’s often busy with work! but ofcourse he lets his darling pick any date for the weekend.

- you both love admiring and talking about opinions on the sea creature. he would always have his arm around your waist or shoulder.

- i feel like he would LOVE stringrays! he would definitely love xingu river ray (or you could say polkadot ray hehe) and perhaps he would love tiger shark too!

- you both will get those matching crab, octopus or sea turtle headbands! he would be a bit shy wearing it at first but whenever he does anything with you, he’s always full of joy.

- you would definitely watch sea animal shows together! i’d say his favourite is the orca one, he even took a picture with them! most people will take the front seat but wrio prefers the middle row seat, he doesn’t want to get wet by the splashing..

- at the touch pool area, i would say he loves touching the starfish and stingray! he secretly wants a stingray but.. yeah…

- you both will eat at the penguin restaurant! you can feed penguins there and eat with them! (wrio thinks if you’ll have a date here, the penguin will steal your attention).

bonus!!!

- you will also buy those matching sea turtle/shark/dolphin/seahorse/stingray bracelet! he’s still wearing it until now.

- he keeps the pictures he got from the date and display it at his office. his favourite is the one where you were holding an otter while he was feeding it when a pelican got on top of his head. he always grins at the thought of it again.

~ smal drabble ~

a squeak from the otter was heard, you were holding it in your arms as wrio was giving it some fish. “it wants more, wrio!” you chuckled seeing the otter eats its fish with joy. the staff got ready to take a picture of the cute scene in front. “look at the camera! 1, 2, 3 cheese!” “cheeeseeeee!” “chee-ow!” a click from the camera was heard before you could do anything else. after a click of flash, you looked wriothesley confusingly “what’s wrong, darling?”, the otter in your arms were also cofused. “T-THERES SOMETHING ON MY HEAD!” you failed to notice the pelican on his head, but as you did you giggled while watching wrio getting all tensed up. “maybe he likes you!” you continued giggling. “y/nnn this is not funnyy!” the otter in your arms looked as confusing as ever as the pelican sets foot on the bench you were sitting on and sniffed wrio’s hand. just then you understand what was happening “oh! the pelican wants some fish too!” “o-oh..”. he looks at the pelican oddly and gives him a fish. the pelican flew away after so, and you both giggled at it. the staff watching this feels no worry as long as their tourists are happy.

~~~

thankyou so much for reading this! i hope this all makes sense and im so sorry if theres any mistakes hehe. i hope you enjoyed it and advices are accepted, thankyou!

BIG DISCLAIMER: this is based on these very cool posts by @gordonfreemansphysicsdegree (link 1 here) (OP's OG gems designs link here).

I don't own this AU, I just drew stuff because mind esplosion

[Start ID: 9 pages of user gordonfreemansphysicsdegree's HLVRAI-SU AU doodles drawn by user snailsdraw featuring the Science Team as gems.

Yellow Olivine Darnold in two outfits: the homeworld outfit and the on-earth oufit. The homeworld version resembles a warmer, high-collar version of Peridot's outfit with limb enhancers and a green visor, and features Darnold with a yellow coloured flat top afro and dark orange skin. His gem, which is green and triangular, resides on his forehead. The on-earth version features her wearing a duku headwrap with a star-shaped bow in the front, a yellow visor, yellow gloves and boots, a labcoat with a three-pointed collar like the top half of a star, and a one-piece swimsuit-like apparel separated into two shades of green by an inverted "V".

3 early Gem-Darnold sketches: Darnold in a mish-mash outfit consisting of a scarf, labcoat, a visor, arcade-patterned shirt, polkadot skirt, striped socks, rocket boots, and the headwrap. He is holding a clipboard and pen, and seems to be observing something. Beside that is a sketch of Darnold in homeworld attire, projecting a holographic screen with her floating, limb enhancer fingers. And lastly, Darnold in a labcoat again, looking sheepish.

Banded Carnelian Gordon and human Joshua: Gordon is a fat, bearded, one-armed gem with a ponytail, wearing a rounded visor over his eyes, a hoodie with stars on the ends of the drawstrings, sweatpants, and sneakers. His gem, located on his upper chest, is chipped. Joshua is a wide-eyed kid with floofy, spikey hair in a cowboy outfit with a star-shaped sheriff's badge and toy horse. There's a sketch of Joshua attempting to eat a worm, and another of Gordon looking very tired.

Blue Dumortierite Benrey: He resembles a quartz in uniform and body type, except shorter and wearing a hood. His left hand is hidden behind his back, but a callout drawing shows that there is a raindrop-shaped gem inserted sideways into the back of his hand.

Lapis Benrey: He is a fat gem with an undercut and bangs, and is wearing an outfit that resembles Lapis's, except with tights instead of a skirt. He is sitting cross-legged with his watery wings out, and is throwing a peace-sign, his gem now visible on his left hand and in it's original, flat position. Next to this is Benrey in his earth-outfit, consisting of a cap with a star decal on the side and ear flaps and a ponytail sticking out the back, a crop-top hoodie with a star-shaped open patch on the back, a translucent skirt, and open-toe tights. He's making a kissy face, and is posed with one foot kicked up behind him and a hand on his hip, the other hand flipping his cap ear flap like you would long hair.

Yellow Agate Tommy: He is a tall, lanky gem with hair styled resembling a mound atop his head with rings resembling the agate mineral, and is dressed like Holly Blue Agate with a high-collar, shawl, and high boots. He is standing attentively with his hands in the diamond pose. Beside that is a sketch of Tommy in an oversized Beach City Funland shirt and a propeller hat he'd won at the Funland. He touches the cap reverantly like he's just had a revelation from having fun for once in millenia and this is a turning point for him. Next to that is Tommy in his earth-outfit, consisting of a short puffy-sleeved top with 2 pompoms down the front, a bowtie, a cummerbund, and tights with shoes tipped with pompoms. Sunkist, a corrupted Pearl who resembles a large, masked bird, is lolling her tongue happily while she recieves some scritches from a smiling Tommy.

Corrupted Cream Pearl Sunkist: Originally, she is a Pearl with shoulder-length hair and a curl on her forehead and attire that resembles Pink Pearl's except with a translucent curtain around her shoulders instead. She stands with a foot pointed out in front of her like a ballerina, and her fingers interlocked before her chest. Next to it is a drawing of her corrupted, bird creature form. Additionally, there is a sketch of her after she is newly healed, touching her face in wonderment and tearing up. She now mostly looks like a Pearl, except with longer hair resembling wings, no nose, and an inverted "V" line across the middle of her face.

Green Quartz Dr Coomer: He is an old gem in Quartz uniform with a roundish moustache, a balding head and under-eye wrinkles. His weapon are two huge gauntlets, like Garnet's. A round gem resides on top of his forehead. On Earth, he wears a singlet with ripped edges around the armpits resembling a star-shape, and suspenders with star-shaped buckles. He flexes, showing off his bulging arm muscles.

Fusion-Zircon Bubby: He looks like an average Zircon, just slightly taller and much older, and with two monocles instead of one. His hair droops back in a triangle, and his boxy jacket has unbalanced shoulderpads with two jutting out from one shoulder and only one from the other, and a mis-matched number of line decal on his sleeves and pant legs. He also has heeled boots and a three-pointed hankerchief under his gem - a fusion of several shards of Zircon. He's posed with his head tilted up and hands on his hips. On Earth, he has a balding head with hair also angled in a triangle behind his head. He wears a tracksuit with a big star pattern front and centre. His sleeves and boots are mis-matched in lengths. /End ID.]

I WILL EXPLAIN I only changed Darnold's gem cut because I learned that Olivine is Peridot in mineral form and went oh👀?

Very very interesting HLVRAI 2 AU, awesome times.

[sweetcloverheart]

Okay, I think enough time's past that I can say this -

I feel like the use of Ladybuquity in the Paris Special sort of undercut Alya's role

I honestly really liked Reversed!Alya Akuma form and enjoyed the concept of the powers (Being able to connect to alternate versions of yourself to let your allies portal-hop to other dimensions is very cool and I genuinely wished they had explored/expanded on it more), so it was kind of...embittering(?) when the special turned around at the last second and went "Actually, we're going to give those super cool powers to Ladybug now and make Alya stand on the sidelines" (which is a problem when one of the core messages is how without her, Marinette would be going around stabbing people with giant magic polkadotted swords). I mean, couldn't they have had Alya share her powers with Marinette (We're seen and know Akuma can posses two people at the same time)? Or had Alya connect to her other selves, warned their Maribugs about Monarch, and then had Marinette and Adrien portal jump to help them beat up Gabriel? I mean, don't get me wrong, Ladybuquity's outfit and the AU cameos rocked, and Alya was MVP for avoiding the deadly duo, managing to steal Sabine's phone, and helping Marinette out with her plan to trick Monarch into thinking he got rid of their only Akuma ally, but it kind of sucks that all the latter really got to do with as Ubiquity is get tied up and being piloted by her reverse self to get used as an interdimensional taxi.

Actually, I wish they had used the "connecting to alt-selves" thing more - like have reverse!Alya talk to Canon!Alya through their link/with her powers, have her notice differences and similarities between them and comment on the canon universe, have them compare their Ninos, have them talk about their families, hell have them talk about Marinette and go deeper in their relationship and how it's changed/affected canon!Alya and hint at Reverse!Alya wanting to get to know/help reverse!Marinette (especially if, again, you're going to make the argument that she's the only thing standing between Marinette going full JD on all of Paris)

[tokyo-daaaamn-ji-gang]

Whilst I'm at it, if the cast decided to write fanfiction, would they write, what tropes would they be fond of and who would be writing the filthiest and freakiest of smut you can think of.

Ok so assuming everyone had to write one and they couldn't say no this is what I came up with

Takemichi- superhero fic, very cliche, follows pretty much every trope. It's dedicated to Hina too (she loved reading it). It's probably got something to do with a 4 leaf clover in the name.

Mikey- Writes fic about Taiyaki kun being the hero, probably a long adventure type story, taiyaki kun rides a motorbike at one point, it's a wild read.

Draken- He'd likely be very big on the found family trope, you just know his fic would be about some rag tag group coming together and bonding to the point of becoming family (the villian is probably based on Hanma).

Hina- oh definitely romance, the hero saves the girl, the girl saves the hero. She just writes the perfect couple and then overcoming any obstacles together in their way.

Emma- Romance #2, she writes the cutest fluff you can think of.

Naoto- Probably a horror mystery with plenty of occult themes and references. He looks key really enjoys writing it so it's probably a long multiple chapter fic, with a bunch of people following it.

Kisaki- Story about the hero however with a major plot twist towards the end showing the hero was actually the bad guy. It's actually very well done and clever despite how cliche it may sound.

Hanma- ok I see two possible ones here, either he takes it seriously and writes one of the most interesting fics ever (hey he knows whats exciting and what makes a good story) or he absolutely does not take this seriously and writes the smuttiest smut to have ever smutted and attempts to annoy the others with it.

Kazutora- i think he might do something a bit different and write it in letter format, as in character's sending letter's to each other. Letter's probably mean a lot to him and he's likely the most comfortable writing in that format so he uses it in his fics.

Baji- Cat story!!!!! There's definitely some kind of big cat fight scene (baji can't resist) but ultimately it's a happy story. He probably also makes a few spelling errors but it's ok since Chifuyu helps him correct anything. 

Chifuyu- Was tempted by Baji's cat story but settles on a person romance instead. It is full of manga references and the girl eventually kisses the guy after he gave her a polkadot based surprise. Probably a soul mate au.

Mitsuya- very detailed fic, like expect everything to have every last detail described (especially people's clothes).

Hakkai- space story! Probably a self insert about him going to space and being a hero (when he comes back mitsuya is incredibly proud of him).

Pah & Peh- They do everything together including fic writing. Definitely a story about two friends (them two), is a happy story about these two friends vs the world.

Smiley- fights, fights and more fights, everyone just wants to beef each other here.

Angry- I think he would write am interactive type fic, like the type where people comment and choose what they want to happen next, I just think he'd enjoy the interactions with people.

Mucho- coffee shop/ bakery au! Actually probably writes about his friends working there, izana is the manager, kakucho the assistant manager, sanzu is a loyal customer, mucho himself prepares the cakes, the Haitani brother's face the customers, mochi handles the drive thru and shion is the dishwasher who keeps breaking things. 

Sanzu- definitely a royalty au about a king and his loyal soldier. 

Inui- probably heavily use the miscommunication causes the main issue trope, he's seen it irl and knows it really can cause a bunch of problems.

Koko- probably a fix it fic, writes about a fire but this time no one dies, the girl gets saved and ends up happily living with her rescuer. This is probably actually something he uses to work through his regrets.

Yuzuha- a cute fic about a sister protecting her brother, she probably beats all the bad guys easily (and the brother's phone lockscreen is of the sister)

Izana & Kakucho- they work together to make another royalty au but this one focusing on the king and his kingdom, the story of this king creating his new world.

Ran- oh definitely a very obvious self insert story. The main character? Flawless hair, everyone loves him, has a little brother who adores him, dresses famously, treated like a celebrity. The guys name is probably like nar or something. Just basically his perfect life, tries to make it very poetic too.

Rindou- probably actually a song fic, the type with lyrics to match the mood. He just expresses himself a lot through music so brings it into his writing too.

Shion- another one with a self insert fic, this one really does go over the top though. Writes himself to practically conquer the world, winning every fight he gets into. 

Senju- Probably a fun adventure fic, I think she would also be pretty big on it being a family adventure/ a found family adventure. 

Wakasa- ok idk exactly why but he gives me those text fic vibes, where two characters are texting each other. I feel like he'd actually kinda unexpectedly enjoying making it too. 

Benkei- Another fic very high on the action, a lot of fights, the characters are likely based on the 1st gen Black dragons.

Shinichiro- Say's he's going to write smut but then gets too embarrassed and ends up with fluff instead. 

South- ok I think he'd also write a kinda lyric fic but instead of lyrics he'd just straight up put musical notes down. He's just so passionate about it and doesn't really care if others don't understand what those mean (he'd passionately explain it to anyone who asked though)

Goodbye Blaseball

I don’t think I’m being dramatic when I say Blaseball changed my life. I had been a bad place in July 2020. I wasn’t writing anymore, something I had been trying to make a career out of. Then I joined this silly game — there were players like Oliver Notarobot and Eugenia Garbage — and I knew I was in the right place.

What I got out of Blaseball was the best community I’ve ever been a part of. I have said this a hundred times before, but I’m constantly in awe of the community and what they can do — there’s been so much writing and art and music and software projects and all of it is amazing. The community pushed me to try to do better. My art got better and I started writing again — as of this time, I have 24 pieces on AO3, including a collaborative AU with my blesties, Cynda and Kit. I learned how to write faster, my writing matured, and I learned that perfect is the enemy of good.

I made friends, who’ve been an absolute joy and absolute gifts, and I feel lucky to have found them. My team, the Canada Moist Talkers, have been the best team, and I have so many memories hanging out in chat:

celebrating every Garbage Day when Eugenia got a hit

when we somehow managed to get PolkaDot Patterson

who because one of the core members of the team

losing Richmond and then Hobbs in the same season

resurrecting Jaylen and experiencing the Consequences

Ruby Tuesday

PolkaMunnion

Day X

and into Expansion:

Foul ball: 0-2.

I remember getting to work and finding out York Silk was gone

watching us win the Season 14 championships on my grandmother’s couch winning For York, the chat going supersonic

Dot getting alted and the emergence coming together of the Talkers and the Mechs to fix it

Manifest Pressure

You Hate It Here

and hey talkers.

I will never forget Valhalifax and Jasper Coven, my Blaseball son.

I cannot describe these events without sounding unhinged. These events are burned into my brain.

Someone’s brought this up already, but The Garage’s “Everyone That’s Left” has been hitting differently today, specifically:

I want you to feel joyous I want you to feel okay I want you to wake up tomorrow and fight another day

I want you to look back and see how far that we’ve all came I want you to remember them And carry on their name

(God, remember hearing “Everyone That’s Left” at the end of Discipline, after “Godspeed (Revised)”, when the Hallstars are all released and gone, and the melody of “Eyes in the Dark” started playing, and it sounded so triumphant and spirited and new?)

This isn’t the end. Blaseball will live as long as we keep it alive. There will still be stories to tell, there’s still art to make.

Oh, as far as I’m concerned, all of the players — the redacted players, the staticed players, the ones returned to the Hall, the buried players and the players on a quest, the players on current rosters, the season 24 teams, the prehistory players, and everyone left in the Blackhole (Blackhole) are all Released. Everyone gets to go home. Everyone gets to rest.

Goodbye, Blaseball. Thank you for being a turning point in my life. Thank you for making me better. Thank you for the community and the friends. The commissioner did a great job. I am all love you.

And finally, Be Gross, Be Kind.

your frosted fairytale is complete ! psst, @heiayen ! your name has been added to the frosted fairytales library. your assigned au with kuroo is . . . west side story !

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first of all . . . your playlist ! balcony scene (tonight), rachel zegler + ansel elgort // the rumble, leonard bernstein // washing machine heart, mitski // where's my love - acoustic, syml // another love, tom odell // baby came home 2 / valentines, the neighbourhood // chasing pavements, adele // infinity, jaymes young.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how about some imagery . . .

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ put it all together and you get . . .

this is becoming a familiar reoccurrence, lazily resting your arms on your window ledge and embracing the sights of the night sky above the city. it's a more peaceful hour for you to bask in, safe from the gang wars and scraps in the alleys and streets. it's not like you could entirely avoid the conflict when your older brother was leader of one of the gangs involved in constant trouble.

it isn't your fight to pick, not your troubles to concern over but on nights like this, eyes staring dreamily into the nothingness, you found yourself more and more entangled in the mess hidden in the shadows of the city. tetsurou kuroo, referred to as simply his last name on the streets by his subordinates and enemies, just so happened to be the leader of your brother's rival gang.

while you attempt to plead your brother to try make peace with kuroo, it's merely a wasted effort every time. you became complacent - that's what your brother assumed anyways. no more bringing up kuroo, his scoundrels and their opposing political opinions at the dining table, your brother fell content in your sudden silence. sudden, that's exactly what this whole thing was for you and for you brother. he had no idea why you'd became hooked on kuroo so suddenly but he hated it.

kuroo isn't stupid, in fact no, he's quite the opposite. the raven haired male is observant, leaning back on brick walls whenever you pass by with your brother's gang. petticoats and polkadot dresses, a slight perm in your hair and the faintest smell of hairspray - but the strongest smell of a sweet perfume that almost matches how sugary you look.

he wanted to taste you, specifically to get his hands on you without your brother around; to see what those fluttering eyelashes were trying to tell him in secret code, to hear the words come from your mouth. and that's why he lurked, hanging off a nearby balcony of an opposite apartment to watch how the stars reflect in your eyes and that stupid lovestruck smile begins to form on your lips.

the sister of your rival, huh, kuroo? he mocks himself mentally as you bathe in moonlight, more ethereal than during the day when there's a small scowl on your face, narrowed eyes finding your brother every time. tired of creeping, he leans forward on the balcony, whistling to catch your attention, "daydreamin', sugar?"

── LOOK ! ! it's my wife ! ! i got them to send something in ! ! ! bites you and kuroo . . raaah i love you guys . .✦

Hey there! Been a while 😅

Let's just say I've been going through many different fandoms as of now. And unfortunately I'm not able to tell you all a lot about it. Sometimes because of school, mainly because I want to draw art of it first before posting about it. But I suppose since that's too slow, I'll simply drop down lore even without art. It's a quicker way to introduce the lore I've made.

So, I've been focusing on DC as of now. Been making a highschool AU called "DC: SHS" of it, but using an unusual choice for main cast members: it's underrated or obscure characters. Here's a list of actual and potential characters who will be in the AU:

(If the name has an asterisk *, it's only a potential character.)

Evan McCulloch // Mirror Master

Drury Cleer // Killer Moth

Abner Krill // Polkadot Man *

Darius Chapel // Music Meister

Giovanni Zatara // Doctor Fate

John Smith // Red Tornado

Saint Walker

Victor "Vic" Sage // The Question

Johnathan Crane // Scarecrow

David Hyde // Black Manta

Carrie Cutter // Cupid *

Francisco "Cisco" Ramon // Vibe *

Caroline "Carol" Ferris // Star Sapphire

Sebastian Blood // Brother Blood *

That said, here's some art of some of the characters (excluding Ares, who I haven't decided if he will be in the AU yet)

I might turn to a different fandom soon, but that just means I'll be able to drop more lore that I haven't shown y'all :)
