#so that's Something

Vincent Valentine of the Elite Four from Pokémon Holy/Meteor, releasing never on the N!ntendo Switch.

I put way too much effort into this for a dorky one-off, but here we are! I have a whole backstory for this AU but I will not bore you all with the details.

[karalovesallthegirls]

Okay so I semi-spontaneously wrote a soulmate au in the past twenty four hours with the intention of it being a short tumblr ficlet. I did then tragically write 2.5k of what could probably be a 4-5 chapter fic. Part of me wants to just post it on tumblr and then if I ever add to it put it on ao3, as I have TOO MANY wips on ao3, but also 2.5k feels like a lot for tumblr.

idk any thoughts? I'll probably post it here

Foul Legacy peeking over your shoulder and watching you work for hours, never once faltering. he knows how you toil- he's seen it firsthand, most days of the week- and he knows that there's really no changing it. so when you're home, he keeps you company, curling up beside your desk in a pile of soft blankets and cushions you arranged specifically for him. sometimes Legacy naps, snoozing and snoring peacefully. other times he reads one of your books, claws delicately turning each page with care and precision. his preferred position, though, is to have his head on your lap, leaning against your legs as your hand runs through his thick, soft hair. your Abyssal monster purrs and rumbles in satisfaction, pressing his head into your hands and tilting and turning so you can scritch just the right spots, his wings fluttering in bliss. it grounds you, too. helps loosen the tense muscles in your head and shoulders, fingers buried in his copper locks, the ones you take so much care in washing and brushing just to hear him happily trill.

when Legacy thinks you've been working too hard for far too long, he sits up and nudges your back with his head, urging you out of the chair. if you don't comply, he simply shrugs and scoops you into his arms, marching away and settling you on the couch. breaks are important too- even the mightiest Harbinger, the most powerful Archon- they all take breaks from time to time, seeking a moment of respite from their duties. it's the same for you, Legacy chittering as he brings you water and some fruit, curling up around your body and bumping against your hands. he doesn't let you go until you eat, nodding approvingly and nuzzling against you with quiet chirps, and if you're in any sort of pain, well! work will just have to wait, because he's snuggling down against you and using all of his weight to make sure you can't get up.

you deserve a good night's sleep- besides, he missed you all the other days when you were out, and Legacy wants cuddles.

that Modern Adaptations Profession Post is over 90k notes now thanks to roach and derin, so i clicked into its contagion map to torture put my computer through its paces; it only loads 200 reblogs at a time and it's fantastic watching things evolve.

@unpretty is this major node off on the left from pretty early on, 9 reblogs deep; initially regionally dominant, but standing out less as time goeson. but I just clicked on a major evolving node 58 reblogs deep with 13000 reblogs loaded, thinking it might be @prokopetz with the steel chair Quincy Morris headcanons and no, it was unpretty coming back for seconds. (via @brawltogethernow.)

@nudityandnerdery is a visible early contributor with the bus stop realtor ad visual, but someone called @ohcorny became a major redistribution hub without a whisper.

Turns out a lot of people see a post with a lot of funny additions and silently go back to the op's blog to reblog the original version; the gravity well/cell wall/thicket around the root post kept growing steadily.

At 14k reblogs my computer refused to go on. Map froze. Still no prokopetz.

i really wish the reblog graph zoomed all the way out so i could screenshot this nonsense properly.

Kwahu made friends with an anima yak, who is now named Suzette. She'll give us lovely blue anima wool which we can sell or make lovely blue clothes from!

I'm calling this gift from Arwell "Chekhov's Bionic Leg" for no reason in particular.

Anyway, time to go fight a mech cluster!

Well, we defeated the mechs but forgot to get out of dodge before the turrets exploded! I'm sure there is only minimal damage, though, right?

Oh damn. That looks painful... At least we have a bionic leg to replace it, right, Kwahu?

... Kwahu?

oh hell

I did as much research as I could before getting a cat, I lived with baby locks on my cabinets for months so I could get used to it, I spent 45 minutes with an employee at the shelter bombarding her with questions, and I still worry every day that I'm fucking up.

Anyway, watching old episodes of My Cat from Hell has been comforting in that aspect

out of curiosity, is the paid subscription for your website still a worthwhile way to support you compared to the other options available?

yes! i haven't promo'd it as much because i'm still hoping to get moved to ghost and i have no idea how that move is going to work with memberships, so i'm dealing with my anxiety by thinking about it as little as possible lmao. but an annual sub through my site does still give me more money (with less fees taken out) than pretty much everywhere else

for a while i was making coupon codes to the site available on ko-fi and patreon but they didn't seem to get used much so i just. stopped.

[knownoshamc]

well... yeah.

I don't like csa. Maybe this is something you should know about me

[finalgirlagatha]

Please do Horic and Tedros/Sophie as well as Tedros/Filip perhaps merge them into the same bingo

horic bingo :D

I catch myself thinking about Who holds the devil when my mental stability is falling apart. Your story helps me to stay afloat.

Thank you

I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling and, if I could, I would definitely give you a big hug. But, since that's not possible, I'm glad that I can still offer some comfort through my fic.

I've said it before, but knowing that my writing can give people hope, stability, or even just a distraction is the reason why I post. I will always write, but I choose to post it online because, just maybe, it can brighten someone's day.

And so please remember that. Even if I might not be able to update as often as I used to (due to my own health problems) I will always keep posting as long as there are people like you. As long as people enjoy what I do, I'll continue to share it.

I do it for you 💜

And while I don't have any snippets and such that I can share to maybe help you along, here's a simple sketch I just finished of Yo Han, on the subject of "You want to fuck that old man so bad it makes you look stupid."

As I said to my friends:

Benefits of drawing: If I want to know what Yo Han looks like in the black Henley outfit I gave him in Who Holds the Devil, I can draw it

Downsides of drawing: I now know what Yo Han looks like in that black Henley outfit

... and now you all do too. You're welcome.

So yeah. Hang in there, darling, and do whatever you have to do to get through the day. I'm so glad that my writing helps. And even if I don't know you — and even if it may sound cheesy — please remember that I care about you. And, if I could, I would take all the pain away.

Take care 💜

I go into my bedroom and this is the first thing I see?? Y'all, this is really cute

[whyeverr]

It's not Christmas without tamales! And since we grew corn this summer I decided to treat them to the real deal this year.

Just don't ask me where the fancy plates come from! 😅
