And you may ask yourself, "He/Him/Siya? What kind of pronoun is Siya?"

We live in the Philippines, and there are no separate words for "he" and "she" in Filipino/Tagalog. "Siya" is pronounced "sha," and covers both.

hey how about 32. dust motes for the micro story prompt :3

micro story ask meme prompt i reblogged back in like, november (thank you for your patience, take siya)

—

When Siya’s good enough to walk around without causing a panic, four pairs of vigilant hands pinning them back down and sticking drips back in, the world finally comes back into focus. The smoke on the horizon is a reminder of why they’re here, wasting away on a hillside medical cot. They can see it so clearly through their one good eye:

A clandestine studio apartment made out of moldering shiplap and candle soot stains, a twin-sized mattress and yellow used paperbacks. The booth in the back corner of The Mermaid, one round of whiskey in unwashed shot glasses, knocked back in unison. Some back-alley next door with their knees imprinted in the sand. Curry bun street vendors and copper coins tossed in a fountain.

All of that, reduced to rubble and ash. Their memories were dust motes that hung in the air around them, flickering past Siya’s vision in the blinding light of the midday sun, only to scatter and dissipate when they reached out to touch. Dead skin cells making a mockery of the devastation, catching in their throat when they breathed it in— keeled-over hacking, spit in the grass. They look up at whatever’s left of Lion’s Arch with watery-tremble understanding and a half-muttered swear.

They were never going to get it back.

NO ESCAPE / FOLLOW ME (2020)

This movie is also called “Follow Me” sometimes… So there is that. Anyway, a social media star and his posse go to Moscow (Russia) to visit a super scary escape room but, as the title suggests, there is No Escape. I mean, there is an escape, and they make it out, but it is into a fresher Hell than they were already in.

⭐⭐⭐.5

Cole is a social media star who, along with his semi-annoying posse goes to Russia to do an escape room. Sounds sketchy? It is! When they first arrive they go clubbing and Cole’s girlfriend Erin gets assaulted in the club which is seriously not cool (and Cole was almost too busy vlogging to notice). After that they go to the escape room where things get a little scary pretty quick. First Cole is made to get a key out of a dead man's intestines and Cole accepts very quickly that he has to cut into this dead guy. I am not sure if it is because he thinks it is fake or what but he does it with very little complaint and digs around inside him too. Wack! It took a little more debate in the first Saw movie but here he just went slice happy.

Next he finds his friends in a myriad of torture devices like the rack, an electric chair, and a water tank. Cole is tasked with little minigames in order to free his friends, each getting more serious 'til he reaches his girlfriend, Erin, in the water tank and she nearly drowns. Okay, she sort of does drown but she coughs it back up, I mean, we WATCHED her swallowing the water (right?). At this point things are serious and the gang just wants to get out and go home (sad face). But they are trapped! They have to try and break out! So they escape the escape room but they escape to the harsh reality of they are in Russia and are fucked because the guys from the bar are here outside the escape room and are shooting everyone up. They are nice and take the Americans hostage though which was very unnecessary of them all things considered but it did make the movie last longer so I guess it was for plot reasons and not just out of the goodness of their hearts. 

At the bad guys hide away they are filming for Russian viewers who like to watch people get ripped up and killed (wack!) (also The Den). Cole has to watch one by one as his friends are murdered as he makes all sorts of attempts to escape, even getting a chance at one point to go off without saving the last two of his friends left, but he refuses, he must save his friends. I don’t know if he is brave, stupid, or both, but he goes back into enemy territory. He finds one friend but then promptly loses him to a baddie which was pretty rough, not gonna lie. And finally it is all down to him and his girlfriend. He wants to save her so badly and comes so close but then she gets shot in the head in front of him. A literal devastating blow. Cole retreats to a closet. His world in pieces. The bad guys banging on the door. He sees a hatch with a light and goes through… and there is Alexei, their Russian tour guide/double crosser. Standing, smiling. 

Cole doesn’t hesitate, he, like an animal, attacks Alexei. He doesn’t hear what the man has to say, he doesn’t hear that his friends are alive, all he hears is his own heart beat pounding in his ears as he beats this man to death for what he has done. And then the lights come up and everyone comes out. Horrified. The look of horror from the movie poster isn’t from Erin scared in the water, it is from her realizing her boyfriend actually killed a man.

What a devastating movie, I mean, they put their friend in such a position that he thinks his only way to literally survive is to kill? Wack as fuck. I’m not sure what they thought he was going to do when presented with Alexei at the very end after watching each one of his friends “die.” Seriously, that was one messed up “social experiment” and these kids just didn’t even think about the consequences. Now the poor guy is scarred for life, not just because he killed a guy, but because he thinks he watched a bunch of people die and it was all just a “prank, bro.” That is beyond messed up, especially his girlfriend dying on him twice (drowning then gunshot). Wild film, sad twist, good twist, made up for killing off everyone.

I thought about this movie and its ending for a while after the movie was over, wondering if it could have gone differently and unfortunately whatever schemes I come up with don’t matter, the circumstances were that the main character, Cole, was led to killing a man in what we now know was cold blood. It was a very sad end to a pretty fucked up movie. The fact that I thought about it afterwards means it had an impact on me though so I have to give credit where it is due there.

I was gonna wait to post Siya when i actually intended to use her in a specific game, and make an actual full character sheet. As well as rendered out her mom, a very important NPC for her personal story.

However on the 29th its Lunar New Year, and its the year of the danger noodle :3

So i wanted to show off my Black Mamba murder sphagurtur who is also a very very very poor street rat whose passions in life is practical magic, taking care of her scrappy grimoire, and her drunk mom.

Her inciting incident would be said mom being kidnapped for her oracle powers so she takes off after her, her mom cant take care of herself!

Also eggs, its a food that isn't that suspicious when she eats a lot of them and still fits within the food restrictions Yuan Ti have. Fun Fact, her favorite thing to do with eggs is to shove them in whole in her mouth and just crush it to pieces for the crunch sensory.

Her preferred disguise is Half Dragon, she doesn't want to be recognized as a yuan-ti. It makes her and her mom stick out a little, but you shouldn't mess with dragonkin so the smelly, scruffy kid rummaging through trash should be left alone. It also helps since people tend to deliberately ignore the homeless and downtrodden.

I used alot of textures and photos in this design as a sort of experiment, and it turned out really good~

She made sure to use rainwater to salvage as much as she could from the cloth she finds, and has a sewing kit and Mending set for utility.

Quilt Apron: She gets cold easier so her apron is made of quilts that have been thrown out in the trash. https://sewcanshe.com/easiest-plus-quilt-pattern-free-scrappy-quilt-pattern/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/581105158201968630/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/13862711342639984/

Umiiwas ng tingin pag nandiyan ka na Kaunting sulyap lang para hindi halata Wala nang hihingin pag ika'y mapasakin 'Di mapakali gustong sabihin sa hangin Kung itatago pa din ay 'wag nalang kaya Sa panaginip nalang pala isasayaw

hey fox!! all of my characters are lgbt+ in some fashion so i would be here all day if i listed them all, but here’s siya: they’re transmasc, agender, polyam, and asexual!

(technically if you ask them, they would probably prefer calling themself more of a relationship anarchist instead of polyamorous, but either way, they’re under that general umbrella.)

braham has been their nesting partner since like. path of fire? they met in lws3, and siya was part of destiny’s edge 2 (it’s a long story). they’re very gay when he’s not busy saving the world or whenever they get to tag along in the story. it is super self indulgent but braham deserves nice things

HAPPY PRIDE GW2, SHARE YOUR LGBT+ OCS!

As pride month gets underway, I think it'd be fun to kickstart a chain of sharing our ocs who fall anywhere under the pride umbrella! From gay/lesbian/bi to aro/ace to trans/gnc, please tell us all about your ocs that are being celebrated this month! (And yourself if you'd like to!)

[gristlegrinder]

this one’s got suggestive siya/braham fanart under the cut. you’ve been warned

a fun fact about them is that their coping strategy for bjora ended up revolving around siya going “no baby, jormag can’t get to you right now, you’re only going to pay attention to me.” it worked better than expected.

a fun fact about me is that i drew this while listening to my beloved annual paul blart mall cop 2 podcast. also i swear i’ve drawn them in this exact pose like five million times

[xy-a]

it's been said a million times before, but all san sequoia has to offer is looks ... otherwise it is so boring
