#poor phoenix

Okay, I realize that this might be a little annoying (I’m gonna stop spamming you with my fanart after this one - I’m just „emptying“ my Procreate folder) but here’s something that I drew around the same time as the Cowboy!Jake picture.

She will put those two in horny jail as soon as the night is over.

I am sad to report that my snail Phoenix has passed away :(

He got his name from the fact that when he was smaller he went through not one, but two periods where he didn't move for weeks at a time and I assumed he was probably dead, only for him to eventually wake up. Because of these long periods of inactivity, his growth has been behind his siblings for a long time.

But for the last couple of months, Phoenix had appeared to be acting completely normally and had grown a lot. I thought he might eventually catch up with his siblings, but always was aware he was probably a "runt" from the beginning and might have something invisible wrong with him.

A couple of days ago I was doing some maintenance on my snail's tank and two of them were AWOL, so, as I had done tons of times before (mostly when they were younger), I sifted through the soil with my hands to find them and get them out. But then I touched something that crunched... For whatever reason, as my hand encountered Phoenix where he was sleeping in the soil, part of his shell came away...

It was the rim area of the shell that had basically peeled away in layers like onion skin. Since there was no obvious damage to his body, I still had a fair bit of hope that he would be able to survive it (I've seen on r/snails that snails can recover from MUCH worse-looking shell injuries than that), and put him in a corner of the tank to see if he could recover from the shock and go back to living his little snail life.

Sadly, it was not to be. He hadn't moved since then, and this time I know for absolute certain that Phoenix is no longer with us: part of his "foot" is exposed, and it doesn't recoil from me when I poke it. It seems that whatever happened to his shell was too much for my little survivor to deal with.

I genuinely don't blame myself much for what happened when I dug him out of the soil, because snail shells definitely aren't supposed to do that so there must've been something wrong with it before I picked him up and caused it to break off. I tried my best with the little runt of the litter, kept giving him chances when it seemed like he was done for, but sometimes it just doesn't work out.

I started with 6 hatchling snails and lost two very early on, which didn't affect me because it's expected for an animal that has hundreds of offspring at a time, but Phoenix is the first one who lived long enough to have a name and a personality. I always kept myself ready for this to happen due to him being a runt so I'm not too devastated but I'm gonna miss the little fella and I'm really sad he couldn't overcome whatever was holding him back.

Rest in peace, my smallest snaby.

We have moved past Maya and Franziska wingmanning narumitsu as a society. They would not fucking do that. We need to realise the truth which is that Larry and Gumshoe would try to wingman them and only succeed through failure

[ashestoshadows]

Just had someone knock out my poor Blaziken over what I could either guess as pure anger towards mine falling asleep (or them straight up waking on the wrong side of the bed)

No amount of sorry will make me feel less bad about my beloved Pokémon fainting- it feels like it’s my fault 🤦‍♀️

Vlad opened his eyes expecting to look up at his cieling.

The pair of eyes staring straight into his own was not what he wanted to see.

"I need you to make a clone of me." Danny, ever the grain of salt in a pile of sugar, said with all the tact of something who didn't just break into a man's room.

Vlad squinted up at him and scowled. "Hello to you as well, Daniel. Not even a good morning?" He groaned, reaching a hand up to massage his temple to try and offset the headache he could feel settling in. "Do you have the slight clue what time it is?"

"It's 3 AM."

Vlad blinked, and his scowled deepened. "That somehow makes it even worse." He sat up as Danny leaned back, and reached for his side table, taking up a glass with little difficulty and downing the water in few gulps. He then sighed and looked back at Danny. "What is this about making a clone of you?"

Danny crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. "Exactly what it sounds like, fruitloop. I need you," Danny pointed a finger at Vlad. "To make me," He then pointed that finger at himself. "A clone."

Vlad's eyebrow twitched at how Danny spoke. As if he were explaining someone complex to a child. He sighed, killing whatever retort was on his tongue to instead rest his head in his head.

"There should most likely be one left that I haven't melted down yet, do with that what you will." He shifted back some until he could rest against his headboard and waited for the nuisance to leave-

"Why are you shirtless?" Inquired the child that was still there.

Vlad opened his eyes to shoot his a glare and he scoffed. "Are you not going to run along towards whatever need you have for a clone, child. Or do you insist on ruining whatever peace I have left?"

"Is the clone an actual clone or..?" Danny tilted his eyes, eyes roaming off Vlad to the lump beside him.

"No, it won't suddenly come to life, it is just a body." Vlad explained as he manifested a wing to hide said lump from Danny's gaze. "So you need not worry about that part, though why you would need one is beyond me."

Danny stayed quiet for a moment, before shrugging. "You still have a clone of me though? That's kinda weird dud-" His smirk was slapped right off his smug face by a wing as he flew back a bit through the air.

He matched Vlad's glare with one of his own as he rubbed his face, before huffing. "Fine. I'm leaving now." He phased through the wall, leaving with the whisper of fruitloop and leaving Vlad in that blessed, of so sacred silence.

Sadly, it was not to last.

His bedroom door was slammed open, with enough strength to shake the entire room and cause the poor thing to slam into the wall with enough force to crack the blood thing. "Dad! Those weird birds are-" The voice momentarily interrupted by two shouts of alarm.

"SWEET BUTTER BISTCUITS!"

"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!"

"-...Why are you naked...?" Danielle said, a look of disturbed confusion on her face before she ducked low to avoid a blast of magic. "Okay, now that was uncalled for- ewwwwwwwww!" She then screwed her eyes shut and put her hands over her eyes and looked as if she might puke.

Vlad, deciding to spare his daughter from a sight only he should've seen this morning and acquainted himself with quite thoroughly last night, he moved a wing to hide his partner's... private bits, from sight. Who then decided it would be the best idea to sit down.

On Vlad's wing.

If Vlad were any lesser man, he might have complained. But he was not. So he did not.

He did shift his wing around, however.

"You have a kid?" John Constantine, conman extraordinaire, rather shamelessly took the glass offered as Vlad covered the both of them with a sheet and drank the water. "Would a been nice to know before I shot at her, actually."

Vlad massaged the bridge of his nose, a headache coming on that in no way was because of a hangover and sighed through his nose. "She was not even supposed to be here for a week more, so there was no reason to tell you anything."

To which Constantine shrugged.

"Why are you here, Danielle. You were supposed," He stressed the word. "To be somewhere in Metropolis."

A single eye peeked out from between the girl's fingers, before she let out a relieved sigh and dropping her hands. "Those weird birds tracked me down to tell you they want to meet you." Dani wrinkled her nose. "Though I think you should put on clothes though.

"Weird birds-" Vlad paused, sneaking a glance over at his alarm clock to see that it was, in fact, 3:15 AM and groaned. he dropped his face into his hands. "Those blasted phoenixes, it's three in the morning!"

Dani just shrugged and stepped out of the room. "They're in your living room by the way, the fourth one down the hall that takes the two right turns, and they're getting pretty impatient." She then paused, staring straight at Constantine, who stared back with a raised eyebrow.

Water dripped down his face and down onto the bed as a ball of water slapped smack dab in the face as he reopened his eyes with an unamused expression.

Dani stuck her tongue out and then disappeared down the hall.

"Well, I'm awake now at least." Constantine said, reaching over Vlad's lap to place his now empty glass onto the side table.

A loud screech cut through the noise of the mansion, and for the second time. Vlad groaned.

It was only three in the morning...

The Team Fortress 2 Cosplay meetup at Phoenix Fan Fusion 2023!

This year's meetup was absolutely AMAZING. We had a total of 26 people come to the meetup, blowing last year's record of 12 people out of the water! We have yet to pass Salt Lake City Comic Con 2022's record of 37 people. But next year, I hope we can have an even bigger meetup! Although, we definitely need to find a new spot not in the way of everything. I apologize to the Phoenix Convention Center security staff for our massive inconvenience.

This year, we had two totally new characters join the meetup! We finally have a Ms. Pauling and Saxton Hale!

And our Saxton Hale was just as strong as the Australian fella himself...

And of course, the video where I told everyone "You already know the answer to this one!"

[Me, Scout: "Is TF2 dead?"

Crowd: "No!"

Me, Scout: "Are we gonna keep going?"

Crowd: "Yeah!"]
