how the hell does michael sheen do it? no seriously - how does he look utterly besotted and wary at the same time, immeasurably old and inconceivably young simultaneously, learned and naive in equal force

i don't understand but i would like it bottled and i would like to buy it, but someone needs to have a word with him and tell him to give 👏 it 👏 a 👏 rest 👏 please 👏✨

i made this as a sort of test to try out if the guide i found actually worked (it does!). pretty happy with the result, so i may just make another one.

(i also took some still pictures of the drawings)

hi uhhhhhh if you want sword af fic ideas...i think it'd be super cool to explore their dynamics if one of the team gets hurt protecting the other or another idea is that one night they stumble upon bug trying to revive what they think is gunthar's skeleton but it doesn't work

fun stuff like that!!

anon i frickin love you so frickin much for this. i decided to go with the first one for now but i will probably return to the second idea another time >:) and if you are reading this please feel free to send me more sword af prompts because i love them !!!

The first thing Koda can hear is quiet sniffling. He tries to latch onto it, to keep him afloat - he knows something is wrong, but his eyelids feel like they’re glued shut, the icy claws of sleep threatening to take hold of him again.

He tries to focus on other things that he can sense. His body feels heavy, like he’s being weighed down by something equal to Fernie’s weight. Strangely, the only thing he can actually feel, though, is something small in his hand. He tries to move his hand, but he isn’t sure if he manages it.

Muffled, quiet, quick talking fills the air now. He furrows his brow, trying to hear the words even though it feels like there’s cotton stuck in his ears. The thing that rests in his hand squeezes back, hard enough that it gives him something to focus on.

Okay, Koda. Breathe. Open your eyes.

As he inhales, he manages to do so. A wooden ceiling swims into view, along with a pounding headache and a blurry, blue silhouette in the corner of his vision. He blinks, trying to clear it, not quite able to succeed yet. “Bug?” His voice comes out in a croak.

“Koda!” they shout, leaping onto the bed to straddle him. Their face is inches from Koda’s, shining with tears and a bright smile. “You’re awake!”

“Ugh, if you keep shouting like that, I’ll wish I wasn’t,” he mumbles, closing his eyes again for a brief moment. Bug grins, pressing their face into Koda’s neck, which sends a shock wave of pain down Koda’s torso. He winces.

“Bug, honey,” says a tired, familiar voice. “Give Koda some space. You’re hurting him.”

Bug sits up quickly, and Koda turns his head slightly, finding Delores and Fernie on the other side of his bed. Fernie stands up, taking Bug by the shoulders, and gently lifts them up off the bed, placing them down beside him. Heavy silence fills the air as Koda surveys his friends. Fernie looks like he might cry, Bug is nervously fidgeting, and Delores looks like she hasn’t slept in a week.

Almost not sure if he should ask, he frowns. “…What happened?”

Bug and Delores exchange an uneasy look. Fernie answers, “Krungdar sent that sorcerer after us and she was really strong. She kept targeting Delores for some reason, and you…” he pauses.

And while he pauses, Koda remembers.

Heat scorches the air, with smoke following suit to burn in his lungs. Raging fire topples a nearby tree as a laugh echoes through the forest. Fernie, in badger mode, and Bug, with a mirror image of themself, are facing off against a mirror image of the sorcerer. Koda and Delores face the real one, tall, powerful, not even breaking a sweat. The fire grows stronger. Out of the corner of his eye, Koda notices an expression on her face that he’s never seen before. Her eyes dart around, the fire reflected in her pupils.

He wants to speak, but his throat burns with smoke. Jumping out of the way of a stray dagger, he draws his sword, but not before realizing it had been a ploy to get him further from Delores. Energy builds around the sorcerer, dark and glowing with negativity. Koda sees it in slow motion, and his legs move before his mind. He leaps in front of her.

Enveloped by the Finger of Death spell, Koda’s body jerks, the worst pain he’s ever felt coursing through his veins. He falls to the ground, writhing in anguish. Delores screams his name but it’s muffled.

His vision goes in and out. He remembers Delores screaming again, and manages to lift his head to see if she’s alright. He notices the sorcerer, motionless on the ground, and Delores breathing hard. He tries to speak, but his tongue feels like a sponge. He moans in agony instead.

She’s at his side in an instant, but he can’t hear anything she says. The next thing he knows, he’s in Fernie’s arms, and then everything goes dark.

“…Are you guys okay? What happened to the sorcerer?” Koda asks, somewhat tentatively.

“She’s dead,” Delores says bitterly. She swallows hard, reaching forward to swipe a stray hair from Koda’s sweaty forehead. “How are you feeling?”

He looks up at her, knowing she probably doesn’t look much better than him, and sighs. “I’m feeling like I could use a drink.”

“Alcohol!” Fernie exclaims excitedly. Bug nods and climbs up onto his shoulder. “What a great idea!”

“Anything to make you feel better, Koda!” Bug exclaims, patting Fernie’s head. “We’ll be right back. I’m sure Gaspard has got some extra mead.”

As they rush out of the room, Delores calls, “At least grab some water too! Please!”

Koda can’t help but chuckle. “They have good intentions.”

“I know.”

He frowns a little. “How long was I out?”

Picking nervously at her skirt, Delores shakes her head. “Um…about three days.”

Closing his eyes, he breathes in. He supposes it could have been worse. Most people touched by the Finger of Death never wake up again.

Awkward silence envelops them for a moment. She sighs softly. “Why did you do that, Koda? I could have taken that spell.”

“You don’t know that.” He turns his head to look at the ceiling, biting his bottom lip. A few months ago, he wouldn’t have done anything like that. But this time, his legs moved before his mind. It was the only thing that had made sense in the moment. “You’re afraid of fire, aren’t you, Delores?” he asks softly. Out of the corner of his eye, he notices her fidget nervously in response. “You couldn’t move. I had to help. And besides,” he says, looking back, “you were the one who needed to fight her. Not me.”

“Krungdar somehow knows about my deal.” Her eyes fill with tears, and she reaches to take his hand. “I thought you were going to die,” she whispers. “That’s what she said. I can’t lose you, too.”

Koda smiles slightly, squeezing her hand. “You can’t get rid of me that easily.”

Before she can respond, Fernie and Bug rush back into the room. Fernie sits on the edge of the bed, making it sink with his weight as he hands over a bottle. Slowly, Koda sits up to take it.

“Thanks, Fernie.” He takes a swig, the liquid burning his throat, but in a good way this time. He offers it to Fernie, who takes it and gulps down the rest of the bottle in five seconds. Koda laughs.

Bug’s eyes widen. “Whoa! Did you just laugh? You just laughed! Koda just laughed!” They whoop excitedly, climbing up to sit right next to him. He lets them, because he knows that these people, his friends, haven’t left his side in days, and he’s grateful to be alive. He’s grateful that Delores is alive.

And when Fernie makes Bug laugh so hard that water comes out of his nose, all four of them share a laugh, knowing that the Sword of Heroes will always look out for each other.

I just finished season 1 of dungeons and daddies and I gotta say is: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK??????????????????????????/

[raulfernandez]

I don't know why, but somehow it didn't occur to me that riders pay everytime they go to a track to train like that isn't something the team or whoever pays, it's them paying themselves. Or maybe that's an Alonso thing, I don't know

[thesherrinfordfacility]

okay so i think it is almost definite that crowley and aziraphale do have a falling out right at the beginning of s2, and we have a time skip

people (understandably i guess) are getting vocal about crowley's aspect placement, but iirc mr g has said that the snake likes to be visible and therefore will move with his hairline. with that in mind, if we look at his sideburns (which btw, yum, dont @ me)

are way shorter here (and the aspect is just above his jawline), compared to:

plus his hair is shorter after the skip AND the glasses change

and yeah the skip may only be a couple of months/a year or so after the falling out, but so soon after agreeing to be on each other's side? after toasting to the world? im finding the nearest bridge

[philosophical-pete]

If I did the quick maths right

[wizardwomenwisdom]

still foaming at the mouth over the fact that my surprise song was in heartstopper taylor really did that to me.

[starsstillshine]

ALRIGHT i finished trigun stampede
