for the microstory challenge!!! 2 - this was a mistake

"So," Obi-Wan says, pressing a hesitant hand over his bleeding brow and wincing. "I think we are both in agreement that this was a mistake."

Anakin scowls and turns his head on the cot so that he's facing away from his master, pure petulance radiating from him. "It was romantic."

"Anakin," Obi-Wan says, but even he can tell that he sounds terribly fond. "We're both in the Halls of Healing, dear one. Twenty minutes into our first romantic outing as a couple, you suffered an allergic reaction to cocavet seeds and hit your head on the table of the restaurant as you fell, causing a minor fire and major panic--primarily from the orchestra you paid to serenade us at the table. Then I crashed the speeder trying to get you back to the Temple before you asphyxiated in the passenger seat. If this is your idea of romance, I'm not entirely certain either of us--or Coruscant--will survive our relationship. Let alone a second date.

Anakin scowls harder, crossing his arms over his chest. He looks so downtrodden and young that Obi-Wan has to sigh and lean forward, patting his blanket covered thigh with his blood-free hand.

"There, there," he says. "Perhaps our talents lay in romantic evenings inside the temple. Hm?"

Anakin turns to look at him at least, face scrunching up. "Like in the Room of a Thousand Fountains?" he asks, looking intrigued.

"No," Obi-Wan says quickly, though he bites his tongue before he remind his former padawan that the Room of a Thousand Fountains is a sacred Jedi place. Not a place for Jedi to chase after teenage fantasies. That would just distract them both from his very real point he is trying to make. Primarily, "I meant somewhere more private, dear one."

Anakin's eyebrows pinch together.

"Our quarters, perhaps."

"Oh! Oh," Anakin says in quick succession. Honestly, Obi-Wan would be worried about a concussion making his padawan slower on the uptake than usual, but he was (regrettably) present for much of Anakin's relationship with Padmé Amidala. He understands that love makes Anakin rather stupid.

"Oh," Obi-Wan agrees, patting his leg and standing as the healer on duty calls his name and beckons him towards an examination room. "I will leave you to work out the kinks in that arrangement."

He is treated to a particularly lovely image of his padawan turning scarlet for a moment over nothing more than a bit of wordplay.

"Master," Anakin says once Obi-Wan has taken several steps away from him. He looks over his shoulder, eyebrow cocked. Anakin's eyes are wide and earnest, but there's a hint of a curl to his lips, something more devious beneath his mask. "Don't worry, Master, you're not out of a job yet."

Obi-Wan stops, narrows his eyes in consideration as he weighs what is obviously a trap versus the joy he gets from bantering with Anakin, before turning around to face him completely. "I'm sorry?"

The smile lingering around Anakin's mouth breaks out into a full out grin. "You take my breath away better than any cocavet seed ever could."

"I liked it a lot more when your throat was too swollen to talk," Obi-Wan decides, and Anakin barks out a laugh in response.

"Oh," the healer says some minutes later. "Your face is rather warm, Master Kenobi. Have you been affected by an allergic reaction as well?"

Obi-Wan does not give into the urge to put his face in his hands, but it is a rather close call. After all, he's definitely been affected by something.

so here have a lil sterek wip from when i had my barbie hyperfixation and decided to make my blorbos experience it too (mostly just an excuse for pack bonding and general silliness)

“I can be useful to the pack, you know I can, Derek! Maybe I’m like Elina and have the rainbow in my eye,” Stiles said, throwing up his hands. He was currently pacing around the loft as he tried yet again to get Derek to let him help with pack business.

“What does that even mean, Stilinski?” Jackson groaned, sitting up from where he had been leaning against Lydia on one of the many couches in the new and improved Hale loft. Erica and Boyd were sitting curled up on the couch opposite them with Isaac sitting on the floor at their feet looking adorably confused as he watched Stiles and Jackson.

Stiles gasped. “What do you mean what does that mean? Haven’t you ever seen Barbie: Fairytopia?”

Derek watched in amusement as Jackson looked at Stiles in disbelief.

“Do I look like I’ve watched Barbie Fairypia?” Jackson deadpanned.

“Fairytopia,” Stiles corrected, aghast. “This just won’t do. You have to watch them, they’re amazing. In fact you should watch all of the early Barbie movies.”

“You’re not going to force everyone to watch them like you did me, are you?” Scott asked from the floor where he was lying with his head in Isaac’s lap. Derek had noticed the two of them getting closer these days and while a part of him worried— Scott always seemed to have one foot out of the pack— he was happy that Isaac was happy.

“I’m definitely going to force everyone to watch them,” Stiles said, nodding his head like he had just come to the decision himself. “It’s part of one’s basic education. You can’t not watch the early days Barbie movies.”

I randomly get inspired to write weird stuff with Gabriel that I'm usually not even into and a lot of the time I get comments that amount to I'm not into this. Am I? or being surprised they were into it. Gabriel is just randomly inflicting this sort of thing on everyone I suppose

a lil bit of the cheating fic bc progress has been veeeery slow lately on all my fics haha

lately ive been focusing more on the christmas fic but don't wanna share it all right away haha

prev snippet

___

The silence is broken only once Eddie’s dressed, has all his things, and is about to open the front door. Buck’s inwardly panicking, it feels like a huge moment they can’t come back from, and he needs to say something, make it better, make sure they can still be just them… but has no idea what to say. When he opens his mouth what comes out is a quiet:

“We’re good, right?” he fidgets with his fingers, watching nervously as Eddie turns back to look at him. He looks so small, shoulders hunched, clothes all messy and stretched – Buck has a vague memory of struggling to pull Eddie’s hoodie off – and his eyes are just so sad. “We don’t have to, like, talk about it or something, right? I mean, unless you want to.” he rushes to add. “I just don’t want it to be weird.” he repeats, sounding desperate. And he is. He can’t lose Eddie. Not Eddie. He’s not sure he’d survive it. 

Waiting for his response feels like ages, but finally Eddie smiles weakly, his hand tightening on the door handle, and says, sounding almost pained, but Buck chooses to believe it’s his imagination:

“No, we’re all good. Dumb mistake, we never have to mention it again. We’re good.” he assures, and Buck breathes a sigh of relief, only he’s not fully relieved just yet, something heavy still sitting on his chest. Probably the guilt. Shit, he has no idea what to say to Taylor. “I need to go. I’ll see you at work tomorrow.” his smile turns more genuine, and Buck smiles back. Then he watches Eddie open the door and shut it behind himself.

💭💭💭 ---- Good vs. Evil (and everything in between) sentence starters;

GOOD

"All I wanted was to do something right."

"Do you really think you'll get away with this?"

"Stop! This isn't you."

"If I can, I'll save everyone here, including you and I."

"Do you need some help with that?"

"I could appreciate some help with this."

"I really do need the help."

"Please, save me."

"Stay there, I'll going to try and get you out of this."

"This moment is yours, you can do this."

"I actually believe in you, I know you can do this."

"That's... actually bad and I'm going to tell you why it is."

"Bad guys don't do this. They don't do the things you've done. So, stop thinking you're like them."

"What if... never mind. I'll leave the ideas up to you."

"When I look at you, it makes me want to do better; be better."

"You've inspired me to be the best version I can. Thank you."

EVIL

"You're actually so pathetic, it's laughable."

"And to think you almost trusted me. Cute."

"No one's going anywhere. Not if I can help it."

"Stay out of my way or I'll make sure to give you what you deserve."

"Yes, you do deserve this. All of this."

"I'm so much fucking better than you are."

"You're a worm compared to me."

"That's not a threat, not a promise. It's a fact."

"Her/Him/Them? Yeah, I killed her/him/them."

"Let me tell you exactly what'll happen once I get my hands on you."

"Oh, I wasn't made this way. I was born this way."

"No one will save you. Not even yourself."

"How can I ever be good? Look at me! Look at what I've done!"

BOTH

"I'm not here for you, I'm here for ___."

"Duh, I have to look out for myself."

"Fine, I'll help you, but under one condition."

"Sorry, not interested in saving you or your friend(s)."

"I just happened to be here and that person pissed me off."

"Yeah, you're welcome. Now you owe me."

"I'm trying to do something good here and if I have to destroy things in the process, so be it."

"You're wrong. I'm not like those guys! I have good intentions!"

"Don't say that! I'm the only good person here!"

"I'm such a good person, trust me."

"I'm not a good person, trust me."

"You say you're not a good person, but I've seen it: the good in you."

"You can claim to be good all you want, but I know who you really are."

"If you wanted to do something positive, you should do it the right way."

"Being good is too hard, don't you just want to be bad sometimes?"

have a emma ratri au in the brain rn so how do you think the escape would go without emma in it? im guessing norman would cut a lot more losses without emma there to encourage him (maybe even escape with only the older kids that can make it) and I really liked your post on how norman was originally planning to leave ray behind!

im thinking norman feels guilty and goes back at the last second to see ray with the lighter fluid but ray sets the fire anyway to make norman go without him. But norman isn't as physically able as emma so he doesn't catch the match and Isabella pulls them both out

then as norman and ray are healing from their injuries in lamba they meet emma ratri (who would do anything for her clan/family in this version) who tries to encourage them to coperate/make them test better for the tifari by making them happy?

don and gilda would meet up with sonju and muijika and be a lot more friendly to demons/knowledgeable about their society (maybe even meet up with ashye!)

thoughts?

[Mentioned post]

Without Emma there as a moral compass, Norman and Ray might convince Don and Gilda that only the four of them should escape and come back for the rest of the kids after they better assess the outside world, with Ray banking on Norman discreetly seething the whole time so he'll ditch him at the last minute, but it's also possible Don and Gilda might rub off on Norman in Emma's place that contribute to him going back to bring Ray along.

Both of the boys ending up at Lambda is very interesting because while there is the poignancy for Isabella in Ray being the only one of the trio supposedly destined to be shipped and gupna'd as normal, I think there's enough breadth to argue that if Legravalima ate her father to become queen and hid Norman away in Lambda from the demon god, she might have tried to push her luck with the promise and steal Emma and Ray away too with how prestigious the trio's reputations were among demon society.

It's also interesting to see an Emma who might feign a similar demeanor to her canon one but drops it when things aren't going her way, either impetuously out of petty anger or as part of a longer con after she discovers someone's tried to cross her, in a similar tone to this exchange:

(Chapter 87)

She likes to think she's benevolent and reasonable, but being raised as a future head of the clan, she's cunning and ruthless, and she doesn't make idle threats.

There's also the dynamics to consider of how the boys would play off her together versus how they'd do apart if they were kept isolated from each other, if they even know the other one is alive, if Emma holds that knowledge as leverage, etc.

(Chapter 172, tweaked)

And then her conflicting loyalties if she starts to grow attached to them.

don and gilda would meet up with sonju and muijika and be a lot more friendly to demons/knowledgeable about their society (maybe even meet up with ashye!)

Assuming it's just Don and Gilda that escaped and not the rest of the canon escapees, there's a variety of potential there too. Like you said, them having more time with their nomadic demon parents, maybe opting to stay with them rather than going to the bunker due to safety in numbers, making them the biggest advocates for demons to humans that puts them into conflict with the older brothers they looked up to when they eventually cross paths again.

There's also meeting an Ayshe who hasn't been dealt the tragic blow of losing her father, and while I still imagine her to be reserved, there is a bit of a lighter air about her now that her first meeting with other humans is much kinder. Her dad could also provide insight into the demon world that Mujika and Sonju couldn't, like the inner workings of farms as a substitute for the bunker's knowledge.

Brushes maybe?

I’d love to figure out how you render that way ur stuff is so good! Any advice you could give maybe? The texturing is STUNNING

Hi! Thank you :] To be fair, I'm not sure where to start as I have multiple ways to draw things, but I'll try. (Also I might show more if you choose an example if you had any specific brushes in mind)

For most recent art my favourite brushes that were used in rain world fanart have some color jitter. It's a feature that can be enabled in clip studio, but I'm sure that other programs have similar setting.

When I'm less confident in general execution of the idea or have many details to pay attention to and want to take things slowly i like to use oval marker brush. It doesn't have any texture and has somewhat soft edges so i can work from very loose blob of sketch. Its flat shape that doesn't turn with the movement allows me to "chisel" out the shapes and volume in the drawing. That's why many prefer using flat brushes instead of round.

Sometimes I straight up sketch with thin brush for lineart and clean excess lines so it looks like lineart instead of drawing one over the sketch layer from scratch. This hoverer requires a lot of practice and generally clean confident strokes so I resort to it rarely and use it for more stylised cartoonish things. Tip: you can also duplicate lineart and blur the layer and lower its opacity so the whole thing will look more interesting and less sharp.

And then there's this thing :) not sure what to add here other than that they're pretty.

As for the advice hmmmm… Probably I'd say that many brushes show their potential if you adjust your style to each, like you'd usually do with traditional medium. While keeping one favourite consistent style may be comforting, and I respect that as drawing should be what brings you joy, sometimes experimenting might be useful for you. I do have limited amount of styles for some of my favourite brushes and don't go as crazy as I could, but sometimes it feels more satisfying to let the brush guide your process with its shapes and textures instead of breaking it into your already existing pattern. At least that's what I've been enjoying recently :) Keeping up with developing multiple styles might distract you from learning other aspects, so to choose what's better is always up to you. I wish I'd had more in-depth advices on how to render in general but figuring it out was a complex and long process for me as well

Seven(+) Sentence Sunday 🎊

I swear to god, I've watched this movie so many times at this point that I'll be dreaming it, but we are trucking along in the Last Holiday AU!

Maddie is beaming so wide that her eyes are crinkled in the corners. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I just couldn’t wait to see you!” The sound of his sister’s voice – in person for the first time in years, not over the phone or a video call – has Buck stepping forward on instinct, wanting to fall into her arms the way he did as a child. Maddie holds up a hand to stop him. “I really want to hug you too, but please god put some clothes on first.” Oh, right. Still naked. Buck flushes, immediately covering himself. “R-right, yeah, give me ten seconds!” He closes the shower door and quickly washes the product out of his hair. When he steps out into the bathroom again, Maddie is nowhere to be seen, but there’s a fluffy towel laid out next to a pile of fresh clothes that are different from the ones Buck left scattered all over the floor. Tears spring to his eyes at the thoughtfulness of the gesture – his sister digging through his duffle bag for a change of clothes for him, knowing he must feel gross from the plane – and he gets dressed in record time, not wanting to waste a single second away from Maddie.

Another word game: Shattered (Yes I'm choosing words that would most likely lead to downer plots on purpose, it's just a mood)

Cobwebs brushed at Twilight's hair and caught on his sword as he and Four made their way through the dungeon, the light from their lanterns casting unnerving shadows along the walls.

Four suddenly gasped and stumbled backwards, enough that Twilight had to stop him from falling over, and as he caught the smithy and looked to see what had startled him, his own breath caught in his throat.

A shattered mirror stood across the room, glass still trapped in its warped frame, and as Twilight stared at it, a flash of orange hair caught his eye.
