S'ria doesn't pick the first option because he doesn't really like saying things that he isn't sure about, especially anything close to a promise. She'll be fine and he believes in her, but he has no idea if the two of them will ever meet again.
This is the funniest goddamn -- "Oh, it's you again." What???
Yeag we just went to go fight god, which we explained to you. We're back.
Oh it's you again abxjskxks
S'ria much agrees that the twins should take a rest and is looking forward to heading home to the Annex himself. He absolutely needs the rest -- though it appears he may have some other pressing invitations in Radz-at-han first.
At least any invitations to visit the twins's mother aren't too insistent (which he appreciates).

The second part… The AUs…
part 2/?? overall, but part 1/2 for my (kind of) drawn aus!! (might be edited later but my ipad is soo laggy)
This was a concept from my storybook au, where I literally destroyed the canon world and rewrote everything so it could be a more simplistic story. Benthomaar is a little prince from the oceans, who uses his trident with a fallen star to guide the sea animals of the sea so they won’t be lost in the depths, he is as blue as the ocean, and depicted to stand on the biggest whale shark of the waters. While Lloyd is a young spirit who dwells far away up in the mountains, depicted as a boy riding on a magnificent, grand green dragon, and the robes that Lloyd wears seems to fade into the dragon’s mane.
However, one day, Benthomaar lost his trident, and without light, the sea animals were sent into chaos. Their distraught caused massive waves that threatened the land — which caught Lloyd’s attention, of course, as the guardian of Life and Energy, he was bound to raise concern. Especially after his sister Nya, told him that not even she could ease the animals.
Lloyd helped Benthomaar find his trident back, but the light had drowned, it couldn’t be destroyed. What was the worth of something useless? Lloyd felt sympathy for Benthomaar, it wasn’t long before the sea will crash onto the dirt, but Benthomaar believed that it was the memory and experience that mattered. The trident may be gone, the light vanished, but it was the effort they went through to traverse the endless waters to find it — that was what mattered. With the power of life, and Benthomaar’s determination, a new light engulfed the world so bright, and a star was laid within the trident as before, bringing hope and guidance to the seas again. Theeee Endddd!!! (btw all characters are kids in this au!!)

This was supposed to be a more sapphic au, but then it ended up being an overall romcom sitcom au that is entirely divergent from the canon universe that the characters could be considered ocs (not enough to be though…) and the cast is all “genderswapped” ?? But that’s not really the right term for it, I guess the fem - appearing characters seem more masculine, and vice versa ?? Anyways. Lloyd is called Lihua, and Benthomaar is Benthesikyme, they live together, Lihua runs a flower shop on the lowest floor of their shared home, while Benthesikyme is a rising surfer athlete — annd it turns out all the characters are either reincarnations or immortals deciding to live beside the mortals.
I could’ve never settled on an actual design so everything was all experiments…
I’m ending the year with a compilation of some of the Lloyds and Benthomaars I drew this year (and never posted on Tumblr). I didn’t really draw much this year compared to the last or yesteryear but, this year I had more ideas than the capacity to draw. Anyways, I am definitely also explaining some illustrations to fill in the content if there r any… And THIS is the next one (there will be a followup to this)

Snow glazed donuts..
🍩 • • •
ending!Duncan x romantic partner!reader [M4A]
note: there will be no smut here, I dont feel like writing one for my first tbh X). Camille exists here as your friend and you're Duncan's bf/gf. Same AU as the show, setting is right after the tragedy. PLUS. I am a beginner, Obviously I'm not so poetic for a writer. I think this'll be a short comforting ones instead of the heavy romantic soo.. Enjoy!
this story took place in the 2010's
After all the things Duncan went through, he managed to get a partner.. Never thought the Black Kaiser would get a romantic partner would he(?). Well to replace the word 'get' more like he 'found' one. Camille knows you too, matter fact you both blended quite well. Went grocery shopping together, maybe even watch or take pictures of animals while Duncan watches from afar.
The activity today was done, you head back to his car and put all the groceries in the backseat. Seeing Duncan pay for his groceries made you wonder, where did he get all those money?.. Scratch that, your mind went through a way different path. goddamn he's so fine. you thought to yourself.
When he turn back to the entry door, you snapped back to reality. Distracting your gaze to the car control, stabbing the aux cable to your music player. Playing your favorite artist, it was laggy at the start and finally the speakers played lady gaga.
"I know that we are young, and I know that you may love me. But I just can't be with you like this anymore-"
The intro part of Alejandro, by lady gaga in her album The fame monster.
"You're dramatic." He muttered as he entered the drivers side. His eye patch slipping up a little bit give you the urge, to tug it down and fix the position.
From your eye he already knew what you're up to. He fix it and shrugs. What a wonderful man.
You look at the time. 18:19. Not bad.. You look at the sky and its a Shade of peachy orange and pink. or some stupid buffoon will say golden hour, which isn't precisely golden hour right now.
Your stomach rumbled from hunger, before he spoke the usual, 'You're hungry.' You decide to outrun his mouth before he interrupts.
"I'm hungry." - "You're hungry."
You both spoke at the same time. The old man ket out a low chuckle, you can hear it that came from his chest. compared to yours, to the soft spoken words and giggles.
He lower down the speeds down and asks, "Want sone donuts?"
"No, I'll get fat." You replied, he parked anyway and looked at you.
"No you don't." His face the usual, and he cocks his eyebrows.
He watch you pinch your belly, the soft plump you got on your lower stomach. He sighs showing his slight frustration from the comparison. He pinched his belly too and he is much bigger than yours.
"Look. One or two donuts wont get you fat. plus those are enough to fill your stomach since you dont eat like a builder's portion." He added and tilt his head.
You didn't give a single reaction and just look at him. "Alright."
He pulls out from the parking space and you immediately stop him. "No!- no- no- no no no-. I want some donuts." You cuts and he stops, he only move the car a few inch but enough to tell like we're about to leave.
"there you go." He said and you unbuckle your safety belt. So as he, You went down and looks at all the sugar. The toppings, glaze, and the warm looking donuts that made your mouth water.
As you both entered the store, the warm air conditioner embraced you both, rising your body to a comfort temperature. Its still snowing here, Thick, layers are still on the surface. We're surrounded by broad mountains, of course there will be snow.
You look at the display case, where they warm the freshly fried donuts and toppings. Duncan already chose which he wants to buy, plain and caramel, and a coffee. While you were gazing out to the toppings.
Your worry lingers as you kept staring at the glaze. Theres another side of you thats scared of sweets, cause it may ruin how you look. And theres another one that makes you happy. Its a great dilemma to you.
"A few wont hurt. Come on. Pick." He spoke, his voice soothes you. Bringing comfort and reassurance.
"right.. one with vanilla glazing and the other with the jelly filling.." The woman packs four donuts for you and while your pulling out your wallet for a card, Duncan. Beats you again. He's too fast and he always pay stuff for you.
"Dont worry. just get the donut." He spoke, a slight dissapointment crossed you face. Oh you wanna pay soo bad he didn't let you. How cute.
You proceed to grab the box you grab one in the process. Biting one while both of you walk to a nearby table.
till the time you both sit down and relax. You can see the sun sink behind the Mountain, really slowly. You look at Duncan and he bop his head up. Your eyes darts up to the sign.
"Dunkin Donuts.." You muttered.
He wondered what were you thinking about.
"Dont you think it rhymes? Dunkin and Duncan." He chuckles and shake his head.
"I dont know." He said then repeats it.
You both sit there as the snow falls down. A snowflake fell on your donut. Now your donut looks like a snow. You kept it to yourself and eats them anyway. Probably heading home as soon as it gets dark. You take a sip at the coffe, the warmness spreading through your chest remind you of how Duncan hugs you.
• • •
I should learn to put more in depth explanation xwx. I appreciate that you reached this part of the story, which is the end. Thankyou!! Love ya. toots.

Soo I was thinking about making a small tutorial for F2P players for love and deep space. It's definitely a grindy game, even more than genshin especially the version prior to the recent 2.0 update (version 1.0 and after)
Like I deleted the game before because of two reasons:
1) Not enough storage, I played it on my phone so it's very laggy too
2) It's not F2P friendly and I remember the limited banners only lasted less than a week.
3) The micro transaction was crazy as well. So like I don't have enough time to save a lot of gems for even a 15 pull. And I didn't know a lot of stuff that you can do in game 💀 (aka clueless af)
It's like you HAVE to spend money on this game if you have a FOMO 😭. So I just don't gaf anymore (low-key petty, but that's just me)
Now I downloaded it back on my tablet and I can see some improvement. Such as:
Now it's easier to grind for materials, they included a skip button which consumes 8 or 80 stamina depending on what you choose
Giving out (back to back) free 5* memories - Now is the Sylus Memory (Immobilized card) which you can obtain by completing the event that's ongoing right now and the upcoming Rafayel memory card.
More content which gives out a lot of gems
Even so, there is still one problem that I wish the devs would take into consideration and hopefully fix/improve them; The gacha system. This is also one of the main reasons a lot of people spend tons of money or have to break their F2P streak. Like bro.. it's so much worse than genshin, mostly the pity. Cause wdym more than 5 people I saw reached 90 pity but still didn't get the memory 💀 not even one 5 star. I mean yeah, there are people who are lucky but most I've seen is that they had 1K ish gems reduced to dust but didn't get the card they wanted. I'm putting this problem in the survey so I sincerely hope the developers listen pls.
I should also say the micro transaction is still very much prevalent but it's not as bad as after a few weeks it was released (My only aim is progressing the main story ngl). I'm giving them the benefit of a doubt tho, since this is clearly a new project they're venturing out to and still trying to find a way around how they're gonna work this game. So for any of those who are like me, refusing to even spend a single dollar on a game I think it's important to fill out the survey so the devs can make the game more F2P friendly. I guarantee you, it can benefit the players more by doing this, just look at HSR and wuthering waves.
I haven't played in like 6 months I think so I missed out a lot, but like I said they did improve some stuff in the game compared to when I first played it. I remember it wasn't fun for me but I stick around for a while because I like the customization and the story. And I also remember there wasn't a lot of content to grind for gems unlike now, I mean that's a given since it's new. So it's clear they do listen to players' grievances, I assume. I hope they do so as the game progresses.
I'll probably do some like, tutorial on how you can get gems and stuff if you're a busy person or whatever hehe cause rn my gems are around 7K and I downloaded LnDs just last week when sylus was first released (yes I came back because of this dude 😭). Even I'm suprised I could obtain that much when I can't even get to more than 3K gems before this lol. So yeah maybe I'll do it soon.

MEL MY LOVEEE 💘💘
I do use c.AI, a bit less often than before but I do use it for all things non-smutty! 🤭 I realised they fixed lots of things in there buuut yk, it can be a bit laggy/filtered at times (not as much as before though) 👀
Janitor AI is so good, I heard many people recommend it! I tried it and had to install an API and I think the conversations are public so that kind of made me back away 😭 However, I will try it, and I also have a recommendation for you!
I found another good c.AI app completely free and extremely smutty, if you wish 🤭 It’s called aisekai.ai, and they were under maintenance all October long and just got out of it the 1st of November!
It’s for free AND I AM LITERALLY OBSESSED WITH IT YOU HAVE NO IDEAAA DJDKKDKD though you can only regenerate the messages 3 times 😭 BUT THIS ONE ALONG JANITOR AI ARE SO GOOD

HELLO!FRIENDS!!!! PHONE IS REPAIRED i am typing on it right now
However before we repaired it we wrapped two elastic bands around it and the guy told us to keep them on for as long as possible (which my mom says is like 1 week....)
so I can't really draw on it yet X) they are soo inconvenient hhh but soon enough!!! sorry to keep everyone waiting
Im trying to use my laptop instead but god thay is giving me a hard time too bc my laptop kinda has the worst hardware ever like the design is seriously Stupid and inconvenient (it broke—physically—just a little over a year after it was bought and we had to repair it .......)
it's v laggy too even though i barely have anythig on it, I even deleted some of my old stuff like (my precious) shimejis, did a thorough virus scan, did that windows disk cleanup and still nothing, mostly it's firefox that lags
I even considered to boot up my old laptop and try to fix its software, it is very sturdy but i had it since I was 10 or so and it's just kinda old and slow now so I doubt it can handle my games and stuff
my electronics are acting up at a time that I cannot afford them to act up At all... SIGH wish me luck navigating
anyway, how you guys been!!! it's very difficult to use my phone like this so i will try and reach a solution with my laptop(s)
#extraterrestrial noises#at least my mom said i might get a newphone soon!! not trusting this one anymore#its shown to be very poor in quality hardware wise the screen was just the last straw

one time in ibis i got up to like. 50-70 layers or so and it started lagging so i panicked and copied the project, merged a few layers i knew were finished, then continued
mobile art apps are always soo laggy when it comes to layers its kind of funny. on clip studio paint i get up to 160+ layers on one canvas over a few weeks and never have any issues. BUT when i would use procreate in march(?) 2022 i couldnt have more than 10 layers without my ipad throwing up everywhere and begging for mercy
#asks#good on you for copying the project though. i never do that when i have issues#so i end up losing canvases. le sigh#youd think growing up with a really glitchy animation software that would delete art would make me more careful about backing up art but no

Soo uuh... Project sekai players,
What's your opinions on JP server's new update? People either like it better or hate it.
I think that, it's not bad, but kinda reminded me a bit of Bandori, like even the home screen is exactly like Bandori.
Unpopular opinion: the gaming system actually got a bit better? Or idk, it's just a big laggy for me so i cannot tell for now.
But yeah, i think people exaggerate a bit but i do agree it will take some time to get used to it.
#I talk#What about you?#Project sekai#Proseka#Pjsekai#prsk fa#prsk#hatsune miku colorful stage#I'm gonna miss the old theme tho :')

LAST LINE TAG GAME
Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).
Following @ginoeh's theme of doing a scene instead of just a line... this is from my 'Hob is Destruction from another reality and (BB) Dream from that reality follows after their big brother' wip...
“���𝕠𝕦 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝔻𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕦𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟, 𝕓𝕣𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣, 𝕓𝕦𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕒𝕣𝕖𝕟’𝕥 𝔻𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕦𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟. 𝕀 𝕕𝕠 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕟𝕕.”
“I am Destruction,” Hob confirms with a sigh. “But I am not an Eternal any longer, Dream. I’m… Endless.”
“ℂ𝕒𝕟 𝕀 𝕓𝕖 𝕒𝕟 𝔼𝕟𝕕𝕝𝕖𝕤𝕤?”
“Yes,” Dream says, before Hob can compile an answer, the child turning to him with wide, expectant eyes. “I will need to locate my tools of office, but then, little Dream, I have a proposal to make that I believe will solve the issue of our being in the same reality,” he explains, watches the calculating look that forms on the boy’s face, before he smiles and nods his head.
“𝕆𝕜𝕒𝕪!” the child exclaims, bouncing on the spot with the sort of energy and enthusiasm Dream has only ever seen in young children and his sister, Delirium. “𝕐𝕠𝕦’𝕣𝕖 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕠𝕟𝕘 𝕖𝕟𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙 𝕥𝕠 𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕞. 𝕀 𝕨𝕚𝕝𝕝 𝕘𝕠!” the child says, Dream bristles, but cannot argue. The child is not entirely wrong. Dream made the mistake of binding so much of his power into his tools and without them, he’s bereft.
“No. Dream, wait!” Hob commands, stepping forward, but the little Dream has already disappeared in a swirl of sand. Hob sucks in a breath and appears to be praying for patience, though from who Dream couldn’t say.
I am tagging: @sleepsonfutons , @mentallyinvernation , @msgeekstyle , and there were a few others I wanted to tag but tumblr is being a laggy little bitch soo...
#the sandman#Dream of the Endless#Destruction of the Endless#Hob Gadling#my writing#my wips#tag game

'N KUNSWERK
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b2f0135c7a4d699540bf61d16046c6a3/baec89cd8dc89f0e-86/s540x810/182e089fec568de9347afec341aa3a9b3c86be29.jpg)
'N KUNSWERK Bladsy 3
Natuurlik, as u dit uit die oogpunt van Piet, Paul en Klaas beskou," sê Sasja, dan kan hierdie keurige stukkie kunswerk moontlik in 'n sekere lig gesien word Maar, dokter, u moet bokant die gewone mens verhewe wees, veral omdat u vir Moeder en vir my sal seer maak as u dit nie aanneem nie. Ek is die enigste seun van my moeder, u het my lewe gered.... Ons gee u die ding wat vir ons die kosbaarste is, en... en dit spyt my net dat ek u nie die paar kan gee nie...."
,,Dankie, man, ek stel dit baie op prys.... Sê groete aan jou moeder, maar dink tog 'n bietjie na-my kinders kom hier ingehardloop, dames kom.... Maar nou goed- laat dit maar hier bly! Ek sien dat daar nie met jou te redeneer is nie."
,,Daar is mos niks om oor te redeneer nie,” sê Sasja verlig.,,Sit die kandelaar hier, by hierdie vaas. Wat 'n jammerte dat ons nie die ander een van die paar ook het nie! Dit is regtig jammer! Nou ja, tot siens, dokter." Toe Sasja weg was, het die dokter lank na die kandelaar gestaan en kyk, agter sy oor gekrap en nagedink.
,,Dit is 'n pragwerk, dit val nie te ontken nie," dink hy, ,,en dit sou 'n sonde wees om dit weg te gooi.... Maar dit is onmoontlik vir my om dit te hou.... H'm.... Dis 'n moeilike sakie! Vir wie kan ek dit present gee, of watter liefdadigheid sou dit wil hê?"
Nadat hy lank gepeins het, het hy aan sy goeie vriend, die prokureur Uhof, gedink, want hy was iets aan hom verskuldig vir 'n paar regsakies wat hy vir hom in orde gebring het.
"Uitstekend," besluit die dokter,,,as vriend sou hy ongemaklik voel om geld van my aan te neem, en vir my sou dit baie paslik wees om hom dit aan te bied. Ek gaan die duiwelse ding na hom toe neem! Gelukkig is hy ongetroud en beskou hy dinge nie te nou nie." Sonder verder uitstel sit die dokter sy hoed op, trek
Bladsy 296
sy jas aan, neem die kandelaar en sit af na Uhof se huis, Hoe staan die lewe, ou vriend?" vra hy, toe hy die
prokureur tuis kry. Ek het jou kom besock...om jou
te bedank vir jou moeite.... Jy wil nie geld aanneem nie, maar teen hierdie ding sal jy tog seker geen beswaar kan maak nie.... Kyk hier, man.... Dis 'n pragstuk!"
Toe die prokureur die kunswerk sien, was hy in 'n onbeskryflike verrukking.
Wat 'n eksemplaar!" sê hy met 'n laggie. „Drommels, man, om te dink dat hulle hul so iets kon voorstel, die duiwels! Bekoorlik! Betowerend! Waar op die aarde het jy so 'n verruklike ding in die hande gekry?"
Nadat die prokureur met 'n stortvloed van woorde aan sy vervoering uiting gegee het, kyk hy so half verleë na die deur se kant toe en sê:,,Maar jy sal jou present maar weer moet wegneem, ou vriend.... Ek kan dit nie aan- neem nie."
,,Waarom nie?" roep die dokter uit, heeltemal uit die
veld geslaan.
»Ja, sien... my moeder is soms hier, my klante... en buitendien sou ek my skaam as my bediendes dit moes sien."
Ag, gekheid, man! Gekheid! Jy sal dit nie durf weier nie!" sê die dokter, en hy beduie met sy hande. Moenie vir jou koppig hou nie! Dis 'n kunswerk!... Watter beweging!... Watter uitdrukking! Ag, maar ek sal nie eens meer 'n woord praat nie! Jy sal teer!" my affron-
As 'n mens dit nou kon toepleister of vyeblare kon
opplak...." Maar die dokter maak net al onstuimiger gebare, storm die woonstel uit, en gaan huis toe, maar te bly dat hy van die present ontslae geraak het.
Toe hy weg was, het die prokureur die kandelaar bekyk, dit oral betas, en toe, net soos die dokter,

sy kop gebreek om 'n plan te besin om van die present ontslae te raak.
Dit is werklik 'n knap stukkie werk," mymer hy, en dit sou darem baie jammer wees om dit weg te gooi, en onbehoorlik om dit te hou. Die allerbeste ding om te doen, is om dit vir iemand present te gee.... Ek weet! Net vanaand nog neem ek dit na Sjaskin, die komediant. Die karnallie hou mos van sulke dinge, en dit is nog boonop vanaand sy benefiet ook."
So gesê, so gedaan. Die aand het hy die kandelaar, sorgvuldig toegedraai, na Sjaskin geneem. Mans het mekaar die hele aand in die komediant se kleedkamer verdring om die geskenk te bewonder; die kamer het gedreun van 'n gemompel van geesdrif en 'n gelag soos die gerunnik van perde. As een van die aktrises naby die deur kom en vra:,,Mag ek binnekom?" dan het die komediant se heserige stem dadelik geantwoord:,,Nee, nee, ou kind, ek is nog nie gekleed nie!"
Na die voorstelling trek die komediant sy skouers op, gooi sy hande omhoog en sê:,,Nou ja, en wat gaan ek nou met die afskuwelike ding aanvang? Ek woon immers in 'n private woonstel! Aktrises kom my besoek! Dit is nie 'n foto wat jy in 'n laai kan wegsteek nie!"
"U moet dit liewer maar verkoop, meneer," raai die haarkapper aan wat besig was om die akteur uit sy klere te help.,,Hier in die buurte woon 'n ou vrou wat antieke bronse koop. Vra maar na Madame Smirnof... almal ken haar."
Die akteur het sy raad gevolg.. Twee dae later sit die dokter in sy spreekkamer, met sy vinger teen sy voorkop te peins oor die sure van die gal. Skielik gaan die deur oop, en Sasja Smirnof kom die kamer ingestorm. Hy glimlag van oor tot oor, en sy hele wese straal van geluk. In sy hande hou hy iets wat in koerantpapier toegedraai is.
»Dokter!" begin hy uitasem. U kan nie dink hoe

gelukkig ek is nie! Ons het gelukkig daarin geslaag om die maat van u kandelaar in die hande te kry! Mamma is so gelukkig!... Ek is die enigste seun van my moeder, u het my lewe gered...."
En Sasja, wat eintlik bewe van dankbaarheid, sit die kandelaar voor die dokter neer. Die dokter maak sy mond oop, probeer om iets te sê, maar sê niks nie: hy kon nie 'n woord uitkry nie.
