#she was so fun!

[very-salty-popcorn]

Nike Bogg, at the end of the campaign. You can read her epilogue below:

---

Nike Bogg was a hero, a leader, and most importantly, she was a friend to all.

---

After the Battle against Bast, Nike Bogg took some time to go on a honeymoon with Addie. It was no surprise that this honeymoon entailed the typical adventure and hijinks that had become expected from anyone in the Order of the Stones.

After some well-deserved rest from life-threatening dangers, Nike Bogg stayed close to where the Order of the Stone had been established to create an academy for adventures. She called her academy, The School of Rock. The Academy was rather, small at first, but due to the influx of so many people who had come to fight Bast, the Academy steadily grew over time. A small city formed around it, with local businesses taking names after adventures from the Order of the Stone, such as “Myrrh’s Magiks, The Blessings of Finnlay, Scylla’s Skewer Shack, Armor by Abel, “ and many others. The Bogg also became an established Tavern franchise.

The School of Rock was intended to help anyone learn how to fight, whether it is with magic or one own’s strength. Adventures were bound to a creed, “May your actions be kind, your intentions good, and your words be gentle.” Nike invited many of her friends to be guest speakers and even had her own sister, Cricket, aid in the teachings.

Soon, the School of Rock became a well-established institution, with many familiar faces being part of the school’s faculty. The school’s mascot was obviously the Owlbear, and Ene held the position until he retired along with Nike. The School began hosting the Falcon tournament as a regular sports activity and it became a large part of the Academy's revenue. The School also developed additional sports, such as interplanar races, escape rooms, and many other pastimes perfect for future adventurers.

Nike, while being a fighter and obviously helped teach self-defense and other heavy weapon fighting at the Academy also developed magical fighting technics. Using her knowledge of magically bonding weapons to one’s self, Nike developed magic through tattoos. With the help Cricket, the sisters developed arcane magic that could be bound to one’s body. This was the foundation for a type of magic that would take decades to develop. The magic was first dubbed “skin glyphs” as weapons and magical items could be converted into a symbol on a body. It was later tested to see if a wizard could tattoo their entire grimoire unto their body, but quickly was dismissed as any damage to the skin could cause spells to distort and even turn on the wizard. This type of magic is still being developed at the School of Rock, however, it is yet to be properly taught until the magic is stabilized (though this does not mean that there are not those that try without permission).

After some time, Cricket retired from her teaching position to spend some time with Hilda. They were married in Radix, to which their wedding was attended by all the members of the Order of the Stone. Cricket and Hilda did spend some time on their own adventures, developing the next era of magical technology (whatever technology they developed is up to the DM). They also established an adventurer's stone of far speech network, using drawing tablets and chalk (thus creating a “magic” social media platform), calling it Chirp. It became a well-used communication system to alert adventures of opportunities and help organize people.

Cricket and Hilda stayed together till the day they passed. They could often be seen taking later afternoon walks in the main square in Radix, and they often spent their later years being local bowling champions. They were cremated and buried under a tree, next to the Bogg family home. Many travelers pass by to pay their respects, so oftentimes one can find a cluster of flowers underneath.

Nike Bogg and Addie Bogg spent some time traveling, even after their brief time teaching at the Academy. Nike and Addie lived in Cirne for some time, to allow Addie some time to rebuild her relationships with her sisters. It was a peaceful time.

Nike Bogg was the first from the Order of the Stones to pass away.

This was simply a tragic fact that many of her friends knew. It was not a death from a monster or a great battle, rather it was a death from something none of us can fight, time.

Nike knew that she would die first. She did not want to make it hard for anyone, least of all Addie. So when she felt it approaching, she went back home to Radix. One morning, while staying in a tiny home Nike had constructed for her and Addie, she felt it. She got up, and made Addie breakfast. Addie woke to a comfortable silence, but it was when Nike stood up and kissed her on her forehead that she knew. She knew that Nike had to leave, and this time, she wouldn’t be able to come back.

Nike had given Addie a gift, early on in their life together. She bound Argenta’s Lance to Addie so that Addie could carry a piece of her when she was gone. The tattoo was outlined in gold and spanned the length of Addie’s arm. Whenever Addie reached for it, she felt a comfortable warmth.

Nike Bogg said her goodbyes, and then she took her axe and her owl bear and walked into the Olioli forest and she was never seen again.

---

There’s an urban legend, that if you go into the Oliolie forest in Radix alone and unprotected that a spirit of the woods will protect you and guide you back home. This spirit’s light is different from the mischievous will-o'-the-wisps. It’s golden, warm, and comfortable. When you see it, it feels like you’re looking at an old friend you haven’t seen in a long time. It’s often told that there is another light that chases around it. Some have even said they say the outline of a fighter and an owl bear.

---

In the Oliolie forest, there’s an axe lodge within a stump. It has been the source of great mystery. Some say the axe belonged to the great Nike Bogg, while others believe the axe was placed by a God. Whatever the case may be, not a single person has yet been able to remove the axe from the stump. It seems as though the axe has lodged itself, waiting for someone. Many have said that only the greatest hero can wield such a magical weapon, while others say that only a truly virtuous hero may have the right to unlodge it from the trunk.

Or perhaps the axe is simply waiting for the day that the person who placed it there returns.

---

There was a statue built for Nike Bogg after her death, placed at the Academy. It displays her, with her axe and Ene. Written on a plaque, per her request reads:

“Nike Bogg, friend to Addie, Cricket, Scylla, Myrrh, Finnlay, Able, Leo, Jonah, Hilda, Erika, Jessie, and all who may be in need of a friend. You are only as strong as the company you keep. Know that I love you always, despite our distance.”

filipina miku!! my mom helped me with her outfit ^_^

[inkskinned]

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

My Mane 6 Redesigns all together! I was going to post them separately but ended up finishing them all before I got around to it lol

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

Bonus:

[fox-mulder-gets-pegged]

I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.

It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.

main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot

[hotcinnamonsunset]

a whale of a good time🐋

I love how mqf's oficial description is something like: a good heart who wants to help others but then you read the novel and his reaction to lqg trapping ten infected men who are crying in panic is "great now I can start to work in my experiments with decomposed people to find a cure" and gets out a lot of needles, which makes the man cry even harder.

Even if we only get bits of the other Cang Qiong sect leader's we can reach the conclusion that no one there is normal, sqq is just biased.
