the true mass effect experience is spending ages making a personalised character just to run into a random npc that looks almost identical to them

[WVW Exchange Event 2023!]

"The kisses on your lash, your ears, on the nose that keeps scrunching. The kisses on your hand, on your cheeks, and the exchanging soft words waiting for the break of day."

----- ID under break -----

A total of 6 pages of comics, starting with a close up shots of vash kissing sleeping wolfwood's nose, eyes, lashes, and he furrows them a bit. an overhead shot of the two of them in a motel room, on the bed with vash leaning over wolfwood from the left, laying soft kisses on him. their legs tangled. their normal outfits are thrown haphazardly on the floor, instead donning comfortable clothes. on the outside, the very first ray of lights are yet to shine.

"what a face you're making pfft" - vash says as he grabs both of wolfwood's cheeks, squeezing them a bit. wolfwood mumbles, "There's something that keeps landing on my face, it tickles." he grabs the hand that is on his right cheek. "Well you're letting it happens anyways right?" Vash muses, bringing the hand up to kiss on its knuckles. "Good morning Wolfwood. It's almost dawn"

"… Isn't it way too soon?" - wolfwood asks, but keeps to himself the prayers he's sending to god because the the boy on top of him was such a sight to behold. Vash flops down onto him, leaving the hand hanging and lace his own hand into Wolfwood's hair, peppering kisses to the side of his face. "Yep" - he answers - "But you woke up on your own tho" - facetiously. He giggles, saying that it was a joke after a beat of silence. A sigh, "don't make me upside you first thing in the morning." Wolfwood closes his eyes, hand combing through golden strands. "Heh, how merciful~" "We have a meet up with Milly and Meryl today, remember?" Vash reminds him, which does raise some vague memory. wolfwood hums, the other hand reaching around vash's torso, hugging him. " So, the sooner we arrive, the less likely she'll chew through my head." - Vash adds. "riiiight. And you were SO urgent in waking me up." in wolfwood's hold, both of them slowly turn to the right, towards the edge of the bed.

Well, you were just soooo cute, I couldn't help it! didn't thinkk you'll actually wakE UAA-!"

the bed creaks under the sudden shift in weight as wolfwood tosses vash over and under him, arms firmly hugging him, one at his back and one at his head, hungrily dives down to kiss. "!! Wolf-! Wait-!" Vash yelps, leg instinctively curls around the other's man hip to hang on, trying his damnest to grip on his shirt as HE is now half airborne, barely has any contact with the bed on his upper body. However, wolfwood seems to have another idea as he keeps deepening the kiss, pointedly holding Vash close, hands spread guarding the back of his head as both of them are sliding off the soft fabric.

"THUD!" a resounding fall, possibly enough to wake the room downstairs, followed shortly by laboured breaths amist wet smacks of lips. Heaves and huffs of air exchanging between the two bodies when the need to breath made itself necessary. They press close, cradling each other, and are lost to their own world. After a while they had to part. Metal arm shifts through black locks, caressing down to his nape and they hold eye contacts there, with lidded eyes, strands of saliva thins then breaks.

Wolfwood pushes up on his arms, looking smugly down at his now disheveled partner: "Now this is how it's done, Needlenoggin." he remarks. Vash tries to wrangle his thoughts back in order, but strings of Wolfwood's name and a wonderous question keeps filling his mind, of whether he should risk it all and have fun for a bit more. Regardless, snapping out of his trance, Vash sourly asks, with a wry smile and an aching head: "But did you really need to roll off the bed?" "Wrong side, whoops" - Wolfwood anwers unseriously, laughing as he finds the situation quite amusing.

Iri'thiel reference sheet for lvl 10 (2023/2024)

---------- I post her often but if you're new here - she's a character from a homebrew The Revenants (Awakening) game that started as our first DnD one-shot 4 years ago. Today the game is separated into 3-4 different groups of players in different places around the world and time, trying to prevent it all from collapsing to an anti-magic calamity.

Iri is a customized Fey Wanderer Ranger that is based on slashing and psychic damage, blade dancing, misty stepping and invisibility. She's a good investigator and has the Observant feat that lets her see things others wouldn't. She also has more and more issues with having her mind safe from exterior influence and dangerously growing number of people to care about.

i don't have any dark secrets

but i do have a few light ones.

and i don't mean light

in that they're not heavy

because fuck they are,

but rather... well,

my secret is that i am terrified

to tell her that i love her

and how could that possibly

be anything but sunshine?

how could loving her,

in whatever horrible

form that may be in,

be anything other than

the single greatest thing

i've ever done with my life?

it doesn't matter if

she doesn't love me back

if i never get the courage

to tell her anyway.

i will keep my secrets

buried deep inside and

hope that their light

is enough to keep me warm.

i will keep loving her

and i will keep it to myself.

Day 11 - Harvest

[serknighted]

**November 16th Edit: Prompts are being sent out on Friday! Thank you for your patience.**

Attention All Vault 111 Residents!

As the Holidays approach, it is with our utmost excitement to announce that we will be having a special occasion planned just for this year; a secret gift-giving ceremony for all of this vault's lovely dwellers!

To celebrate the beautiful Fallout 4 community for the Holidays, I've devised a visual art form of a Secret Santa! Here's what you need to enter (send this via DM to the accounts listed below);

At least a half-body reference of your Sole Survivor

A brief description of their personality

List out one gift they'd like, and one gift they'd dislike, as well as their reactions upon being given either of these gifts! (Remember to keep it age appropriate, and be mindful of the subject material. No NSFW material.)

If there's anything else important to your character that you feel needs to be disclosed (such as drawing certain features), add those as well. [optional]

When the final applicant day approaches (Wednesday, November 15, 2023 at 12:00AM EST), you'll be given a random person's Sole Survivor to draw, as well as the prompt to draw them with either a gift they love, or a gift they hate. Try to stick to the writing given to you! Once you are given your prompt, you have 40 days, or until Tuesday, December 26th, 2023 at 12:00AM EST to finish your final drawing. Please do not post your secret Santa before Christmas Day, nor show it to the recipient. It's supposed to be a surprise!

While you do not have to post your art if either you or the owner of the character do not wish to, I would appreciate seeing every submission made! To apply for this Secret Santa, please message me (Serknighted on Tumblr, Yupknight on Instagram, or Serknight on Discord) with the following requirements listed above. If, for whatever reason, you cannot contact me, please comment, and I will find a way to get into contact with you. <3

If, for whatever reason, you cannot participate in the Secret Santa after entering, PLEASE try and contact me before November 15th. However, if there are complications after that, I'm happy to message privately about it. 

Happy Holidays, and congratulations on another successful year in the Vault!

Everything Elephanto

Some additional things

-On the weird route you burn him and melt him down to a puddle however he is still alive and comes back in a burnt lanky form being held together by string

-without the shadow mantle you are unable to move when he turns your soul purple

-he hates the new elephanto because he replaced him. He trys to take his revenge on him but you interrupt him before it happens

-he's an elephant because of the saying elephants never forget fitting well with deltarune, and also because a cartoon troupe of elephants being afraid of mice as a reference to the possibility of getting sued by disney

-has a peanut allergy

-Hates Ralsei because he believes that Ralsei is a replacement of Asriel

-You're fighting for the freedom of his co-stars

-His boss theme is Saturday-Morning-Cartoons because it's implied that the next few chapters will being taking place on the weekend with alphys saying there's no school tomorrow and spamtons [All Alone on a Friday Night] line. With secret bosses usually taking place near the end of the chapter, it would make sence if it was starting to become day time in the light world during that part of the story which means it'll be Saturday morning

"A portrait of Strahd and Lyca Von Zarovich; dated on the Autumn equinox of 1427."

This lovely lady belongs to @wormgrrl

Nothing quite like a father-daughter painting!!!! Completely normal family here, no issues or trauma at all (incredibly sarcastic)

Closeups...

I actually finished this artwork about 2 days ago and I was SOO sad because i didn't think I'd get to share it for a LONG time. But some stuff happened in last night's D&D session, and my player who plays Lyca came out and told the truth!!!

[kvetchinglyneurotic]

I've found a really good way that I come up with titles is start work at 8.30am, think about literally nothing but the fic for the next 8hrs (while getting no work done), finish work, edit the fic a bit, scream, edit the fic a bit more, realise the time, realise when I'm due to get up the next morning, scream again, pick a word at random from the fic by closing my eyes and danger-scrolling, google synonyms for the word, post the fic, and then think of nothing else but that one word for the rest of the night.

voila. bone apple teeth.

honestly valid 😭 screaming is a vital part of the titling process. my strategy is basically step 1: descriptive working title — i don't remember what it was for THD but my favourite is be gay do crime (the crime is treason) from a later section of my original fic series. step 2: basically your strategy, i.e. think about the fic while i'm supposed to be doing other stuff (in this case, marking papers) and hope something occurs to me. step 3: check if i have any title ideas written down somewhere (this is where THD's title comes from — I saw a post about this paradox and had it in the back of my mind as something that would make a good title). step 4: look up lists of unusual words to see if any of them are vaguely thematically relevant and then step 5: basic descriptive title of what the fic is about
