Vivia Twilight Looms

ok so that fanfiction... Here it is. Maybe I got the boy wrong, maybe not. This entered my brain the first time he actually started standing. Man just looms cause he's so damn tall I love him.

You're a borrower living in Vivia's home, a normal trip gets a bit less normal.

Vivia Twilight Looms

You had picked the safest place in the world to live. The human man who owned the place barely moved. Most of the time he was asleep and when he was awake he sat around reading. The only times you had to worry were when other people came to see him. Usually it was a number of hard to understand topics brought up. Something about master detectives and cases, whatever those were. When others showed up you hid. Just like today.

“I wanna die someday,” the man, you’d heard others call him Vivia, sighed. He said that a lot, you didn’t quite understand. That didn’t matter though.

You poked out from behind one of his stacks of books. The place was covered in them. He was lying on the couch focused on a book. You waited until his eyes drifted closed. It was the best time. The visitors left and you were hungry.

A few minutes just to be extra sure. Then, you ran. Quick jumps across the piles of books to reach the counter. The Vivia human would leave these piles untouched all the time. Actually that wasn’t true. The other humans who visited would move them around and Vivia would put them back. As if he wanted the piles to stay…

You smiled as you landed on the solid counter. There were a lot of strange memories around these books. When you first arrived the piles weren’t quite so neat. At times even your miniscule weight nearly knocked them over. Only a few days of your stay here had changed that. Almost like he’d changed it for you. You shook your head that wasn’t likely.

As you casually walked across the kitchen counter your mind wandered. One of the visiting humans had been talking to Vivia for a while. Something about a spy, whatever that was. All the things humans talked about were weird. You shrugged your shoulders, pausing in your stroll to look around. It was almost impossible to believe your wide eyes once you found some food.

Sitting in the open, crumbled enough you could fill your bag without being noticed, was a muffin. The scent was fresh and cinnamony. It even looked like steam rose from it. You couldn’t remember the last time you got to eat something warm. It was too good to be true. Vivia didn’t seem to care much about what he ate, even less if it was warm. That didn’t stop you from stumbling towards the warm enticing food. Long before it was close enough to reach you started to struggle taking steps. You looked down slowly, tears springing to your eyes as you found the problem.

Beneath your feet was some strange substance. A kind of blue you’d never seen before. Looking over your shoulder you found a long line of your footprints along the substance. You tried to pull free, but your feet sunk in as you looked around. It was up to your ankles now and you couldn’t escape. Vivia hadn’t been in the kitchen, he hadn’t moved all day, you were checking on him earlier when the others… You weren’t watching the other humans who had come to visit him…

As if things had to get worse, you heard one of Vivia’s loud sighs. That meant he was awake. He didn’t get up often, there was a chance you could get out of this.

“How troublesome,” he sighed. You started to shake as you stared over the tiny wall that had been hiding the couch. Vivia was standing, taller than most of the other humans you had seen around him. Every second filled your soul with dread. “I don’t have a choice it seems.”

Your heart pounded in your ears as the dark figure started to walk. It felt like he was so far away when you were moving around. Now he felt too close, each heavy step reached you. When you imagined his steps you thought they’d be slow and somehow soft. It wasn’t the reality. He was standing over you too quickly. As if that wasn’t bad enough he loomed. Bringing his face so close you could touch his skin.

“What are you?” he slowly asked. He always spoke slowly. You couldn’t think. This human was too big, too focused. Purple eyes staring at you, studying you. A sigh that would have knocked you down if you weren’t stuck to some weird surface. “I suppose it doesn’t matter…”

You screamed as he moved. That had him stare at you, looming over you. Eyes stuck to your small form. The fear started to win. You fought, trying desperately to free your feet. If you could run you might make progress. At least have a chance to pretend you could survive. The sigh from the towering human only made the situation worse. 

“Do you have to be so loud…” he said as he rubbed the back of his head.

The truth of your situation sunk in as his other hand came close. Long fingers wrapped around you. The strange substance pulled at your feet as he lifted you. The muscles beneath the skin tensed, the grip tightened, and the ground disappeared. Vivia lifted you right up to his eyes. It didn’t seem possible, but he continued to loom even when he held you. As if he existed just to loom over everyone. The way he stared at you didn’t help.

For the first time since you’d found this place, his eyes were fierce. A promise of action behind them. This human should be safe. He slept all the time. Barely moving. The books left all over, but precisely placed in stacks made it easy to hide. This wasn’t supposed to happen.

“No… they are wrong.” In his hand, Vivia’s words rattled your bones. They were soft, but the bass of his voice couldn’t be hidden. You started to shake. After all this time you would die. You didn’t even understand how he’d seen you. What made him check now of all times!? “You aren’t a spy…”

Words bubbled in your throat, but time worked against you. Vivia moved, the air from his speed left you choking. You watched from the sky as he… removed the evidence you left behind? Footsteps in the strange sticky substance were all too easily smoothed away. He wiped down the counter all around it too. If you left any sign of your existence it was gone now. All cleaned up by the giant human holding you in a tight fist. He ended it with another one of his sighs.

Until now you thought the worst thing that could happen already did. A human had you in hand. Then Vivia started to walk. Your stomach fell to the floor as he carried you through the air. The muscles under his skin tensing and relaxing with each step. Keen eyes staring at you, watching you, with each move.

“Is this a new forte perhaps?” he asked. Tears fell from your eyes, landing on his pale skin. The fingers holding you almost seemed to twitch. Another heavy sigh. Why did he have to keep sighing!? “No, I suppose not. You would have changed back by now…”

You chanced meeting Vivia’s eyes and looked up. He looked away, towards the entrance to the home. A new fear filled your body. He could show you off. The few people who came to visit a lot of the time were much more frightening than Vivia. They would talk about things, reports, news, fame. A flood of tears left you as he started to walk again.

You fought your own will to try and speak. To try and scream, plead, beg. Anything to feel like you haven’t lost all chance to live. A yelp escaped as he fell onto the couch, the one he had used constantly. He shifted to lie on his side before moving you again. Before holding you in front of those stern purple eyes, lazy and uninterested looked better on him. 

“Stay quiet…” he insisted. More tears fell. It was already impossible to fight back. You were too confident, too foolish. Others told you this place would be bad. You should have listened.

Vivia sighed again. The fear you felt was slowly being replaced by anger. He acted as if you were the problem. All you did was to survive and somehow you disturbed him. A few crumbs from the warm food wouldn’t be missed. Courage built in you, but Vivia managed to squash it quickly. All by moving you again.

He slipped you under one of the weird bandage-like wraps he wore instead of clothes. Pressed directly over his chest… over his heart. He didn’t lay on this side usually. The thumping felt calming, almost reassuring as he sighed again. From where he kept you his coat had you hidden. At the same time you could just barely see over it, see the book. The one that he’d been reading earlier.

Despite your fear you grew curious. You stretched to try and see the words. All you could make out was incident… You’d never heard that word before. As if responding to your stretching, Vivia tilted the book up. It was a bit easier to read, but the words were hard to understand. By the time a page turned you’d barely read a sentence. It had become somehow… somehow relaxing.

The sound of the door opening reminded you to be afraid. You curled up beneath the wrap. Against Vivia’s skin. His warmth at least left you feeling better than the walls usually did. He sighed again, but it sounded kind of forced. There were rushed steps that ended in two people groaning. You recognized their voices. They visited Vivia a lot, one of them talked about being famous most of the time. You started shaking again. These two would show you to the whole world.

“Vivia! Did you keep watch?! It said something had been here!” the loud one with blond hair shouted. “Did you keep watch with your forte?”

“I did,” he sighed. “Nothing happened. I didn’t see anything…”

“No way!”

“Come on Desuhiko, Vivia wouldn’t let something bad happen. He didn’t see anything. Maybe we should just report that it’s not true,” the nervous and sensible one answered. You never came out when he was around, something made you think he knew too much. You poked your head out, the purple haired one was standing over Vivia. His eyes were staring right where you were. Vivia shifted slightly, lifting his book up more and hiding you from sight. “Let’s go report back that it was nothing.”

“All right, fine rookie. You’re really positive nothing was here Vivia?”

“Not a thing…” Vivia’s sigh nearly reached you. The scent of his breath did, oddly enough it reminded you of evenings. “I wanna die someday…”

“A-alright. We’ll go report things.”

Silence surrounded you both as the other humans left. You curled up again, he hid you. If he hid you then he was going to keep you. If he kept you, he’d probably get tired of you. You’d be a pet until he lost interest. From how he acted it seemed like it would be fast. A week or two maybe. Then you’d die forgotten and alone. You had to-

A scream escaped you as his fingers found you, wrapping tightly around your small body. The man was moving again, standing. He sighed, but still pulled you into the open air. It made you shiver, a human body gave off so much heat. Heat you almost never got to feel. You forced yourself to look up at him, he watched you with one eye closed. The purple mesmerized you. The stern look had morphed to curiosity. Curiosity could be worse. The entire time he walked you couldn’t stop yourself from staring at him.

The hand holding you moved again, finally breaking you from your trance. The tense fingers relaxed until you fell out of them… and on top of the plate with the hot muffin. Vivia’s elbows landed on the counter around you. Overhead he loomed, a horrible shadow covered his eyes thanks to his green and black hair. The warmth from the food had you tempted to grab what you could before he acted.

“You wanted that didn’t you?” he sighed. Again with the sighing. You were scared to tell him yes. Unfortunately your stomach grumbled. He sighed again. “You can eat it…”

“W-why?” you squeaked out. Vivia shrugged his shoulders. It made the plate you sat on rock and sent you sliding into the crumbled muffin. At that point it didn’t matter anymore. You grabbed some of the warm food and shoved it in your mouth, happy to have it for once.

“Watch out next time. They’ll probably try again,” Vivia shook his head. “Such a waste of energy.”

“A-aren’t you gonna trap me? Ask me things?! A-anything?”

“No… That sounds like a lot of work… Try not to get stuck again.” Vivia stood up and yawned. “Oh… Let me know if you need more book paths. I don’t mind, they’re easier to read out like this. Haaa. I wanna die someday.”

You watched him walk away. The heavy steps making the crumbled muffin around you bounce. He knew… he actually had made the book stacks for you. You put some muffin in your bag weirdly relieved that this human knew about you. You ate for a bit longer before running off, carefully avoiding the sticky substance. You jumped over the books, but paused to look out at Vivia. Casually lying on the couch reading his book. One day you might even ask him about all those words you couldn’t read and the ones the humans said you didn’t understand.

KINDA A PART TWO TO THE COMIC IN MY LAST POST!!! (here it is! it’s also got their references and more info about this au!!)

I think it’d be funny if these two are constantly trying to run into Yuma again to ask about. everything (how the hell he got into Kanai Ward and etc.) but it’s almost like a scooby doo chase where he’s just out of reach every time LMFAO

also I feel like shuichi would unintentionally take notice of Kiibo and Yuma sounding similar just for the sillies (same English VA, but I do have a lore reason. that I won’t spill. SPOILIES)

RainCode Ship Week Day 7: Free Day

Now I came up with this idea pretty much the second the prompts were announced. I just really wanted to draw Yuma asleep in Desuhiko's hoodie. It just seemed to sweet to pass up! Plus, I love the idea that Desuhiko's hoodie is a comfort item for him, so letting Yuma wear it is also a sign of trust. I also thought it would be cute if they were watching a movie before and Yuma just fell asleep.

Getting the lighting right was a challenge but I think it came out pretty good! Sofas are surprisingly hard to draw too. Thank you to everyone who helped my with the anatomy for this piece. You all were right, the blanket really makes it more cozy!

alight motion fucked up my export so watch this on youtube for better quality pls pls

[pixelatedraindrops]

Hello everyone!! Today I grow a year older :3 (and I hate it lmao) FEEL FREE TO REPLY BIRTHDAY WISHES IF YOU WANT :3

So, over the time I've come back here, I've become pretty confident and proud of my once hidden passion about sick characters, sickfics and sick comfort/whump... 🌡️

And you all have been so supportive and sweet despite my weirdness so I thank you for that. You helped me feel more confident in my otherwise weird fixation <3 So, for my birthday I thought I'd try and make up a little drawing challenge for anyone who wants to give it a try... There are soo many talented artists on this site (and in this fandom)

So... It's your turn to target your faves now. You will see how fun it is and hopefully understand why I love doing it so much. 😈🌡️

(plus it's my birthday and I require some sustenance LMAO JKJK)

But yeah anyone can join in. This is just for fun though! You don't have to if you don't want to! I think its okay to ask for some food on my birthday though...right?? X'D So if you wanna do sth for my birthday...then... 👉👈 💦

CHALLENGE BELOW~

DRAW YOUR FAVE ON A SICK DAY CHALLENGE🌡️😷🥵🤧

~~~~

(Mmmmkay, I am lying to myself when I say this isn't mostly aimed at the RainCode community... X'D Can't help myself. But anyone can join regardless of the fandom!!)

So here's the challenge and the rules!! (featuring my two main lil targets ofc :3)

Regardless of who it is, put your fave through some sickness hell >:3c I'd love to see it! Make em' as miserable as you want!

destroy them 😈 jkjk XD

If you're in the RainCode community you can target anyone, but as you know, my main targets are Yuma and Makoto. If they're also your faves and who you decide to use, that will make me extra happy!

Some tips for anyone new to drawing a sick day scenario art. A few things that make it look convincing are the following:

Pajamas or Loungewear

Messy Bed Hair

Fever flushed face w sweat or at least a red nose

Tired Eye bags

Shivery body

Ice Pack or a Compress on the head

Thermometer sticking from their mouth

LOTS OF BLANKETS

Tissues or medicine surrounding them

Tea or Soup (or both)

Those are just to name some from the top of my head. If you'd like some pointers on how to make a character look ill, check out my Fever Coloring Guide. This is for digital artists but traditional artists can try it too!

You can add injury or angst to the scene but I'd like illness to be the main focus of it.

The scene can be anything you want to, it can be fluffy and wholesome (with a caretaker) it can be angsty, or it can be silly. Its all up to you! Do it for the sake of fluff! Caretaking scenes are the best for any kind of relationship >w<

Either way, have fun with it!! I look forward to see what people make if they decide to give it a try! It doesn't even have to be a full on picture! Doodles and sketches are fine too! Just show me something >w<

(feel free to tag me and say happy b-day and mention my challenge, I am proud to be known for this and would love for many to participate :3) I wanna see you take a go at it :3 Show me your style! :D

~

~~~

(wow look at me misspelling the word writing on text when I did it fine with my own hands lol)

Now, I know not everyone can draw...

Well never fear! I accept writing as well! ✍️✍️✍️

(hi vivia lol sorry for giving you a cold, at least you have an excuse to read and do nothing now haha x3)

Sickfics are one of the biggest things I live for! Any little drabbles or full fics with more than one chapter are welcome! Again target who you want any fandom you want, but I'll def be super happy if you make a RainCode fic. And even happier if you target my faves as well, but again, anything will do! Just make a cute story about your fave being miserable and being tended to! Trust me, it's super fun!

You can add injury or angst to the scene but I'd like illness to be the main focus of it.

Feel free to post your writing here and tag me or mention my AO3!

If you need a start to your fic, look on my blog for illness prompts! Maybe it can help give you a good start or give some inspiration! (thats why I share 'em :3)

I look forward to anything you try to write!

~

That's about all!! I hope you decide to participate! ✨

Good luck, have fun, and godspeed you future whumpers! 😈

(nah jk XD)

AGAIN THIS IS FOR FUN! NO PRRSSURE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO!

[aer-arts]

heads up, there will be RainCode chapter 5 spoilers under the cut

Welcome to the Nocturnal Adventurers Guild and their misadventures in the rainy kingdom of Kanai Ward, as they investigate the Sun King and their royal peace keepers

it’s a DnD au I’ve been working on for like a month because there is nothing more fun then shoving characters into a DnD au

bonus designs that I felt like including

Probably won’t do a ton with them (I don’t write fan fic), this was more so just a fun design thing, but y’all have free reign to do stuff with these designs

I have tons of little notes about each character’s design that I won’t get into here just to save space, but I might explain them later if people want

also, currently have no plans to draw any other characters like the train gang or the peace keepers, I just wanted to do the main cast

[marmolao]

part of art trade with @toomanybirdy!!! very cute blorbo i love him

if any rain code fans can reccomend me a funny gameplay to watch it could be cool! its sad to watch it with music on background xD

[snivyartjpeg]

you tellin me a shrimp fried this rice?

anyway i think he should've used coalescence to git gud at cooking

[wackpedion]

Postgame AU everyone

hi im thinking of a post game au where seth takes the spot of director, annd charlie gets dragged along to be vice director, more details below

i have thoughts behind this ok lemme gather em. Okay so I imagine Makoto chooses Seth specifically because he would be easier to control and reign in, compared to Yomi who did whatever he wanted and even opposed Makoto. It works out better for Makoto to have a director whos subservient, it gives him more power over the peacekeepers

thing iss just cuz seth listens to makoto doesn't mean hes any better when left to his own devices, and he kinda takes after Yomis mannerisms with the corruption and power abuse, with this new surge of power hes on a high and even worse than he was as the investigation chief and he loves it esp with no abusive authority figure to worry about

i do think Seth would be very anxious and paranoid though, thinking people might be out to Get Him, annd thats how we get to Charlie . basically like Seth isnt a fan of any of the peacekeepers and doesnt care to work closely with them, coupled with the paranoia that anyone could be out for him. So he chose Charlie to be his vice director, because as disgusting as he finds him atleast hes assured in how loyal he is and how he wouldnt hurt him, plus the lengthy amount of time they spent together helps

seth kinda uses charlie but like whatever i dont think charlie cares, and charlie gets to feel special having been chosen to be the vice director working closest with seth and being the one seth relies on and being deemed as the only one capable for it

k thanks for reading all that heres some doodles as a treat

i also have like furroughs thoughts on this au but like noone gaf n if this sounds less comprehensible than my usual posts its cuz I'm writing this at night and im tired

[rindragon-from-twewy]

Lol ok so I've had the mdarc dlcs for a while but I've only just now found the time/motivation to play them. I binged them all in one go and ig I just wanna talk about my opinions on each one a bit (I have nobody irl to talk to about it so I figured posting is a good enough substitute lol) It's a long read tho so buckle up!

Spoilers for all of them below the cut. And feel free to comment/rebog with your own opinions too cuz I wanna hear now that I know the full context for them all!!! <3

Desuhiko's; Someone take this man to rehab for recovering cringefails, he needs help. While I love him, having him in the protag position honestly made my skin crawl a little. He's built to only be a funny side character imo. Enyne's obviously a lesbian and also my girlfriend now I'll have you know- that's why she rejected the proposal cuz she's already married to meeeee! /j ... But also I'm just a sucker for the detective x thief trope and for that reason I can't pretend that Desuhiko was completely dumb for proposing like that- you'll find a girl (or guy) who's into cringefail losers eventually my dude. Honestly if I had to change one thing about it (besides the constant second hand embarrassment enducing dialog-) would've been cool to see him interacting with the phantom thief before his elaborate plan to catch them started. But that could just be my oumasai brainrot talking.

Fubuki's; BABY GIRL BABBYYYYY!!!! Why didn't she get much focus??? Halara and Desuhiko did basically everything- they stole her spotlight :(! She totally could've figured it all out on her own if she'd found the dice herself, I'm sure!!! She didn't need anyone reminding her of her own powers nor did she need Desuhiko to accompany her to see the fortune teller! She's not an idiot, the others just don't give her a proper chance to prove it! It was an interesting mystery though. I loved seeing the trio interacting more without Yuma around. I'm guessing all bar the Yakou dlcs take place before Yuma's arrival? Slay. Also, also the fact that she took an interest in card games afterwards??? And she's so good at them that she doesn't need her forte to win?! She's so precious! I need to give her a hug! TwT

Halara's; This case what honestly easier to solve then chapter 3's but also... damn I can't believe Halara kicked Kinger from The Amazing Digital Circus in the face like that. I can't tell if he was referring to Halara or his fiance when he said "I can kill the woman anytime" but I feel like Halara kicked him extra hard for misgendering and/or demeaning his own fiance like that, depending on which it actually was. Either way it was hot as fuck. (Yeah I've been a Halara simp this whole time, now that's a lore reveal!) I loved how Halara agreed to the job even thought they knew they couldn't accept the "we can keep a cat here" payment- it means that Yakou probably found out about their affections towards cats before Yuma did! That's cute- to think they think they're so on the down low about it but it's just so obvious! I wish the culprit wasn't so obvious but oh well- these cases aren't meant to be difficult after all!

Vivia's: EMOOOOOOOOOO!!!! SEND HIM TO EMO JAIIIILLLLL!!!! DERPESSED EMOOOOOO BASTAAAAAARD!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3 Still though- this doesn't change my mind about being neutral about the Vivia/Yakou ship. I tolerate it, live in harmony with it... I just don't see their dynamic as inherently romantic? But I get where the shippers are coming from now at the very least. I could maybe see them as queer-platonic? But that's all besides the point ig... Ryo's also much sweeter then I thought she'd be. It's interesting to think that Vivia can always see and hear ghosts. Creates a sort of chicken and egg situation. What came first? His Spectral Projection or his ability to see ghosts. Kinda reminds me of this British drama series called Ghosts - the protag has a near death experience and can see the ghosts haunting her house from then on - so I wonder if something similar happened to Vivia to trigger all this in him. Still... nice to hear a character saying that they rely on protagonists of stories they like to get enjoyment. I think a lot of people can relate to that... :>

Yakou's: ... :,( ... Why would you do that to me? Why??? It was so sad!!! Also they just photoshopped his sprite to have a green coat and no glasses that's so funny to me- Also also his wife's thiccc- 10/10 would also murder for her also tbh. Ok but in all seriousness- why couldn't they name drop her??? I feel so awkward having to give her a made up name in my own au cuz it's like what if they do eventually drop it in the future??? Like come on people, most of the other dlcs had named characters (minus Fubuki's)!!! I adore how Yakou's flashbacks were for other dlcs tho- like that's so fucking adorable. Someone really aught to move the zombies to better living conditions though- like I'm sure they could find somewhere that isn't dilapidated so they could be more comfortable. The zombies obviously have some level of consciousness remaining and I'm sure they'd all appreciate it :(!
