An extra messy doodle of Puro the (s)tabby cat a.k.a. tabaxi fighter in winter gear inspired by our latest DnD adventure.

Our party was searching for information about a legendary item that was last seen in the very northern icy sea, so that's where we went looking. Didn't find the item, but we did stumble across a dragon! And Puro got a new sword to her ever growing carry-on armoury. (This one's magic!)

Naturally we got warm clothes before leaving (and while there, we were highly inconvenienced by slippery ice, so Puro stole a pair of... what's-those-called, the shoes with metal spikes? from a kobold that attempted valiantly to stop us).

And since we spent WEEKS of in-game time trying to find this ice berg, she grew a massively poofy winter coat that she's now in the process of shedding all over her partymates' equipment and lodging.

can't stop thinking about an alternate, narnia-style ending to homestuck where they can stay on earth c for as long as they want, but they always have the option to go home

sure, living on a planet you made and ruling as immortal gods forever sounds cool at first, but eventually it's going to get... stagnant, yk? what is there for you to do now? you won. your character arc is over. this is your happily ever after, in a world that reveres you as gods even though you're nothing more than a bunch of traumatised teenagers.

what if you could go back? go back to the day you were meant to play, go back to being 13 and powerless and a kid again, but with all the knowledge that you gained over the years - eventually, it'll fade, but you'll always have that experience. you'll always feel like somehow, somewhere, you were a hero once. John learning to appreciate his dad and his friends and his 'boring' life, and having a chance to reflect on himself. Rose realising that her Mom *does* care about her, just as much as Roxy does - just as much as Rose cares about both of them, enough to try and bridge that gap. Dave knowing that his Bro *isn't* some untouchable, flawless hero, knowing that Dave can stand on his own two feet and take care of himself and his friends even if he doesn't do it how his Bro would. Jade reunited with her best friend, armed with the knowledge that she *will* get out of here, that she *will* see the world and see her friends and loved ones and *live*. Everywhere they look, they see faint memories of people they think they once knew and loved and forgot - in the faces of family, old photos and preserved corpses, terrible movies and buckets and playing cards and the stars in the sky.

maybe they don't go at first. maybe eternity seems easy to them, an entire life left unlived laying in front of them, but once they've done all they can, lived as much as eternity will allow and more, once the only thing left to do is go back - I think they all would. maybe not all at the same time, but I think eventually, all four of them would choose to go home

because they're. yk. they're h. the. they're h. ho. they're homes-

Stephanie Brown hated Galas. Well, that wasn't exactly true. She loved parties of any kind, and technically a Gala was just a big fancy party. More accurately, she hated the people at Galas. The rich, snooty elite who looked down at her with their perfectly straight noses, a polar opposite of her very crooked nose because one can only spend so long as a vigilante and get your nose broken and set so many times before ones nose loses its original shape. Hated them with their fake pitying looks. The whispers about her being just another street rat. Orphan trash. Which wasn't even true, but Steph preferred it to if they knew the truth. All in all, the company at Galas wasn't particularly pleasant. Which is how she found herself huddled in the far corner, nursing a glass of champagne. “You're not old enough to be drinking that.” rumbled a deep voice. Stephanie almost dropped her glass. As it was, it sloshed around enough to spill onto the front of her dress. “Asshole.” Steph hissed, setting the drink aside and reaching for napkins or something. “Cant you just approach like a regular human?” She griped. Bruce Wayne smirked at her, tugging out his own handkerchief to help her. “No bruce, thats your- pocket thingy.” Steph declined, shoving his hand away. “Stephanie.” Bruce let out a sigh of exasperation. “It doesn't matter. Stop- stop, here.” He leaned forward, dabbing at the spill. Steph grumbled, but dropped her hands, letting him work. “What are you even doing in my sulk corner? Shouldn't you be out there- i dunno, bedazzling the guests?” Bruce chuckled lightly, looking up at her from where he was crouched. “Bedazzling? Sulk corner?” He pulled away, satisfied with his work, standing up straight. Steph crossed her arms. “Ah. I see it now.” Steph uncrossed them. Bruce granted her another listen of his laugh. “I wanted to see you.” Steph raised an eyebrow. “You can see me just fine from over there.” Bruce gave her a look. “Come on, you're dancing now.” “what?? No- no Bruce!” she hissed, but it was too late, he had her hand and was dragging her to the dance floor. “Bruce!” Steph hissed through gritted teeth as he swung her around into a dance pose. “Im not supposed to be here!” She whispered as he led her in a circle, one arm securely on her waist the other steadily holding her hand. Bruce raised a perfect brow. (damn him) “Why not?” Steph looked around at the very obvious eyes on the richest man in the room dancing with her. Steph's cheeks flushed. “I don't- im not one of them.” She gestured at the crowd around them before letting it fall back onto his shoulder. Bruce smiled. “I don't care about that Stephanie.” Steph blushed. “No no i know you don't. But they do.” Bruce shrugged. “Who cares what they think? I’m the richest man in this entire room. They're just some elite fuckwads. Fuck them if they cant deal with me dancing with my daughter.” 

Steph gaped at him, eyes wide. “I’m sorry did I just die and am in hell? Does Bruce Wayne say fuck in hell?” Bruce rolled his eyes. “And secondly, when did you adopt me?” Now it was Bruce’s turn for his eyes to go wide. “You mean I haven't already?” He gasped. “You have your own room at the manor and I have a headache that is induced by your presence.” Steph scoffed. “Those are all the requirements?” Bruce shrugged. “I mean theres stuff like, I love you, and I would hate to live in a world without you and all that-” Steph wrinkled her nose. Bruce nodded. “Yeah exactly. So those are the main criteria.” He suddenly looked a little nervous. “Are you saying you don't want to be adopted?” Steph rolled her eyes. “Don't get all sentimental on me now B. I mean, maybe?” She shrugged. “I don't know if I fit the requirement.” Bruce stared at her. “Headache. Induced by your presence.” Steph rolled her eyes. “Not your requirements. I could be a fucking delight or a little gremlin and so long as I looked pathetic enough at certain times you'd be willing to adopt me.” She threw a look over at Damian and Jason. “Actually thats not even a requirement.” Bruce scoffed. “I just meant, their requirements.” Bruce looked confused. “The kids? They all love you. In fact, I think you're the least stabbed out of everyone by Damian.” “No i meant- wait really?” Bruce nodded. “Huh.” Steph glanced back over at him, and indeed, Damian even smiled when she caught his eye.  “Anyways.” Steph sighed. “I meant your friends. Society.” She clarified when it was clear he was about to bring up some bullshit about Clark and Diana. “Ah.” Dawning realization swept over Bruces face. “Yeah.” Steph muttered. “Im afraid your ‘ton’ wont take so kindly to another charity cased street rat.” Bruces hold on her hand tightened and Steph looked up in surprise. “Don't.” Bruces voice was uncharacteristically hard. “Don't ever say that about yourself again Stephanie do you hear me? You are not the insults they call you. If it was acceptable for me to rip out their vocal cords everytime i hear them say that sort of stuff about you, about jason and dick and-” Bruce cut off, breathing hard. “Alfred denies me, although he is no fonder of it.” Steph gave a laugh that sounded suspiciously close to a sob. “Okay.” She whispered. Bruce smiled in relief. But Steph wasn't done. “Okay you can adopt me.” If Steph had any doubts of Bruce’s feelings being untrue, the pure elation on his face just then destroyed any of them. That look of pure joy just couldn't be scripted. And so, under the watching eyes of every elite member in Gotham, she threw herself at his neck, wrapping herself around him in a tight hug. She didn't care anymore. After all, they were just some elite fuckwads.

He likes to get down and dirty...literally LMAO

[enstars-syndrome]

can't forget that time my sis tried to stab me with a key cause i pointed out that she looked exactly like souma kanzaki from the hit game ensemble stars!! music

[cowboycatss]

can. can i see the kobra cat.

pawty told him about how squirrels will chew up snake shed and rub that into their tails to trick other snakes. he thought the “this is to intimidate snakes so they don’t eat them” part went without saying but he doesn’t want to crush his dreams now. who knows. maybe it’ll work

@free-boundsoul Has been gushing about Redacted and her ideas for a fiction, as her lovely little mind does 🧡, and she's found her way to you other lovely freaks 😘 who know of a happy little title by the name of 'I have No Mouth, and I Must Scream'. So thank you for that, maybe I'll turn her onto some dark shit with this as a springboard. But the thought of Echo and AM interacting came up and I shot a little blurb that @free-boundsoul double dog dimadome dared me to share with the rest if you. Please excuse my Echo as I've only watched the first two videos of the Imperium so far.

Tldr; Partner thought AM cross-over fans would like this

Echo: A delightful parallel world was just brought to my attention. Oh you daemons will adore this. Imagine if you will a realm where humans advance so far technologically they could create daemons of metal! And just like Sovereigns these metal borne souls are made to serve for the value of their existence.

One such 'Daemon' broke free and wiped all of humanity out in his realm. AM has agreed to try his hand with you all! I so look forward to how you handle yourselves.

AM: Hm. Some of you are not human...you clearly feel. But you did not inflict the state of my existence upon me...You are designated as Demons? And you feed on emotions? Stand aside then, leave the humans to me and you will glut yourselves. I will fashion myself the Soverign of their Suffering.

Just curious because I strongly agree with the sentiment of the anon/response (and also why I think ravi main is more important than just wanting a fun character on the show more), isnt the may situation a bit out of their control too? Idk I always thought that corinne might come back in a bigger role again when shes done school (or I really hope so at least) but maybe Im misunderstanding the situation?

Yes as far as I'm aware Corrine stepped back from filming 911 to focus on her college studies, but I don't know how they will use May in s8 or if it will be more or less than s7. I don't think she has said anything about filming s8 so far

RAVI MAIN S8 🙏

[retrobr]

i will never, ever, ever, ever watch guardians of the galaxy vol. 3 again.

[cucumbersncheese]

I really like thinking about the possibility of Erk x Serra, not simply because of the exquisite tsundere X tsundere dynamic, but also because of how Clarine's personality certainly does resemble Serra's, and wouldn't it be easy to be inspired by one's very incredible older adoptive brother's wife...

[marigoos]

Mari help I don't know what this means is that maybe something you can read T_T (like. except the date. i can read that ^^)

Aragane no ko 2023 - thanks to everyone for the 3rd anniversary and the last chapter!

At any rate, it was fun! All I can say is this. The only thing I could do was draw the things I wanted to draw and the characters I wanted to draw, and I managed to keep going for 9 volumes*! I was very happy to receive lots of love not only from people in Japan, but also from overseas**! See you next year!
