#sorry I am slow at getting this out

[skywalking-through-life]

hello friend hope you're doing well. waiting so excitedly for the next chapter in conduct not unbecoming <3 can you give a sneak peak would make my day!!!!!

Hi there dear friend, it's always so lovely to hear from you! And this is a great idea! I don't know why it's never occurred to me, but I'd be so happy to give you (and anyone else interested!) a sneak peek! I have about 4k words written of the next chapter and am still steadily writing, but life has been utterly kicking my ass the past two weeks or so (work has been rough, I have a major interview next week to prep for, sick family, etc), so I haven't been as fast as I hoped to be. But I have a vacation coming up, and I hope to do lots of writing on the plane/on the beach! 💙

Though in the meantime, here's a fun (not angsty, lol) little snippet of chapter 3! ☺️

"Percy Jackson had seen a lot of remarkable things in his somehow both too-short and too-long life, but one sight that never failed to briefly stop his heart was his girlfriend in his bed, curled up and lazy after a long week.

The shade of the lamp that sat on his nightstand was askew, but it still filled the room with its warm glow, making the cramped, cluttered space feel a lot more soft and inviting than usual. No other lights were on, and the absence of the quiet music that Annabeth often played when she was reading or studying meant that she was probably done with school for the night.

As he took in the lack of books on his bed and the looseness of her relaxed, sleepy sprawl, he became even more convinced - and relieved - that that was the case. He really didn't want to have to compete with an interior design textbook for her affection tonight. 

She was curled up on her side on top of his rumpled comforter, facing the door like she'd been waiting for him for a while. Her school uniform had long been discarded, and now the hem of her sleep shorts just barely peeked out from under the oversized t-shirt she was wearing. His weary muscles twitched and tightened as his eyes traced their way up her long, bare legs, before eventually settling on her face. Judging by the slow smile that spread across it as she met his interested gaze, they were both admiring the view that the other presented.

Percy grinned sheepishly in return, not because he was particularly ashamed that he'd been caught appreciating the glory that was her in her pajamas, but because he was always a little self-conscious to be checked out himself. It wasn't like he had forgone a shirt to make himself eye candy for his girlfriend, but now that it was happening, well, he wasn't going to deprive her by covering up.

"There you are. I was wondering if I was going to need to mount a rescue mission," she said with a tiny grin, propping herself up on one elbow.

He rolled his eyes and leaned against the doorframe, crossing his arms over his chest."I don't know why you're always so surprised that a son of a sea god likes long showers," he retorted, amused in spite of his tired muscles and even more tired brain.

She rolled hers right back at him. "There's long showers, and then there's your showers," she said with a snort, before crooking a finger at him. "But now that I know you haven't taken an unplanned trip down the drain, get your ass over here."

"Are you really trying to boss me around in my own bedroom?" Percy muttered, giving her a look as he pushed off the doorframe and pulled the door closed behind him. But despite his sharp look, he didn't even pretend like he wasn't going to obey her - he always did…as long as she was giving an order that he liked.

Her smile became a smirk. "Do you really have a problem with it?" She said sweetly, scooting over to give him the space to flop down next to her.

"You already know the answer to that," He said with a grin, dumping his towel on his desk chair as he crossed the few feet that separated the door from the bed.

He collapsed face down next to her, face hitting the cool pillow. His arms snaked around it as he burrowed deeper into the downy softness, and as he breathed in, he caught a whiff of the lemony scent of her shampoo on the fabric. She'd been laying on his pillow.

Her quiet giggle was sort of hard to hear around his arms and said pillow, but he felt her shift her weight toward him and her hand briefly card through his damp hair. "Roll over, Perce," she ordered.

The commanding tone of that request made it sound like she wanted something else from him, but as far as he was concerned, he'd already followed instructions.

"Why?" He mumbled into the pillow."You wanted my ass, not my face." And because he was maybe just shy of delirious, he wiggled it in her direction.

The laugh that burst out of her was a lot louder than her quiet giggles had been, and she immediately clapped her hands over her mouth, stifling herself before she could wake Percy's parents.

Percy grinned into the pillow. Two things could be true: he wasn't entirely himself right now, and there was almost nothing in the world that he liked better than making Annabeth laugh."

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek! More to come, dear one. 💙

As someone who ships people more as friends and someone who is genuinely cool with Sonadow and Superbat...

Can I see their relationships more like platonically? I want the soft moments of them, but something between them. I want their relationship to almost always be a slow burn friendship.

I want Sonic to chill with Shadow after a tough battle, not kissing and being all over each other. Both of them collecting themselves, as they are tired from the battle. I want them to maybe hold hands for a few seconds, but then stop once one of them moves or speaks up about something (like the sunset or the flowers around them).

Let me see Clark being a reporter for a charity event and spotting Bruce Wayne. I want them to "bump" into each other and just do a interview that turns into a casual conversation. Maybe even add a silly Bruce with his fake persona on throwing a flirt by accident and getting a small blush from Clark.

Have Shadow need to carry Sonic as he cannot move. Shadow being uncomfortable at first holding Sonic in his arms, however as he speeds along he starts to like the feeling of Sonic holding onto him. Sonic would be shocked by Shadow holding him, but he would clutch tighter to the soft chest from Shadow. Sonic would know it would not last long and could not be talked about, so he melts with the touch he loves to give others as he is in the receiving end with one of his closest. They both would blush once Sonic tightens his grip, but it would last only for a second.

How about Bruce as Batman needing to block Clark from a kryptonite bomb coming for Superman. So Batman has to hug Superman to block the explosion from him, which Bruce almost never touches Clark. The moment is panic at first, but Superman will instead lean into the hug. Their faces would be close, but no one makes a move as they just stare at each others eyes. Superman would hug back as the smoke fills the air, It would make Bruce flinch with worry for Superman, but it would fade into love of the small touch they have before the debris cleared.

Let me see more casual romance/platonic ships. I like Sonadow and Superbat, just differently I guess. I am not a hardcore shipper for these two ships, but I do think they are both adorable if played out correctly.

if im honest, im trying very hard to not publicly be upset about how the internet censorship has ruined so much for me and every other adult creator's income out there where i feel like the moment i cant post nsfw on patreon, i feel like that's it for me. i don't have anything else outside of what i do now and i'm just, tired.

Well now we need to know what Reginald looked like while taking a sip of said revulsion (Phoenix's tea) /nf take your time

the long awaited sequel to this

[ganondoodle]

some destiny (zelda comic) lore

i really have absolutely no problem with AUs, but in the case of my zelda comic i kinda dont like it being called that bc i made it specifically around the idea of offering an origin story to .. everything really that could be true and put the entire series in an entirely different light

like most things in the series around the creation of the world and the godesses etc are told to us, and i always ask questions when sth is just told to you especially in this black and white kind of way

idk if i ever talked about it, probably not bc its somewhat of a big reveal in the comic (though its at the very end) and given how slow i am thats years away so:

the three gods (gods as a neutral term here) exists outside the physical realm in a sort of void like darkness with an endless completely calm ocean they created the world we know as hyrules world, in fact they created two more, each of them filled with life, at some point choosing a mortal to kill and make into a deity as their right hand since the gods cant go into these worlds themselves

they want to enact the plan we see in skyward sword, they want a monster to invade the land, their chosen deity to seal it, die and be reincarnated and start the whole zelda cycle as we know it; why?maybe purely as entertainment, which is why each cycle is so widely different, they are gods and treating life and worlds like their little toys feels kinda right- and they really dont like when their toys act against them, thats not what toys are supposed to do after all

so, courage as i like to call them, was a deity they created using a mortal, but they failed to even make their mortals believe in them, instead they were seen as the monster, the gods lost their patience and drowned their world leaving only courage to survive, while they failed their orders and were hated, they still cared about their world, seeing it slowly drown and abandoned by the gods made them filled with despair, in an outburst they destroy the spring of the gods (an ancient spring that is the first to exist in a world when its created) and it opens up a gate into the realm of the gods, that dark calm ocean of nothing- they go into it and wander into the closest source of light and it brings them into demise's world

demise is the deity of his world, and when courage arrives there they start to attack it, filled with desperation and rage that their world was drowned while this one thrived- demise hasnt failed the gods yet, and he fights and seals away courage with easy, but it lets him doubt the gods words, courage was supposed to be some evil monster, yet they were similar to him and he defeated them so easily, why would he chose to die and be reincarnated as a mortal? he wanted to stay a deity and protect his world forever- he started to stall for time, halting the building of the temples for the hero in the future, and at some point courage broke out of its seal, nothing of it was like before it was a strange and now truly, a monster, and demise killed it to protect his lands, thus making the gods prophecy unable to be furfilled and so the gods abandon his world too, they let mortals turn against him as his world slowly dries out, until there is nothing left alive but him and ghirahim, trying to drive him to madness so he becomes the monster for the the next world in the row, but fail just barely- he too destroys the ancient spring and discovers the gate it creates

so demise travels to hylias world, and hylia, hesitates to seal him right away bc she notices he is not a mindless monster like she was told, despite the gods effort to raise her in isolation and make her into the perfect vassal, hylias curiousity is too much, so she lets demise live, over and over as they battle- which is the story of the comic, at the end they fall in love and uncover the gods plans, that demise was in the same position as hylia is, and he killed a deity jsut like them, that the reincarnation thing might be a lie to get rid of the biggest threat to the gods (the deities needed to be gotten rid of before they realized anything) and replace it with a more controllable mortal once the set up for the play was done, this too has been a cycle in the end the gods make sure this time it ends up how they want, more or less (im leaving out the details for now) and demise gets sealed and hylia dies, both of them taken by the gods but as both resisted them it is not perfect, demise still did not turn into the monster they needed so what you fight in skyward sword is an apparition of him, not him truly, and ghirahim knew he would never be himself again but his desperation and devotion made him try anyway only to end up playing right into the gods hands

and that is how the series started, a scheme of the gods to create their little play, inventing new little adversaries and eviil beings but short lived so easily to reinvent over and over, but its all based on lies, zelda isnt special, she was jsut a mortal that happened to be chosen by the gods to take the role she has now, shes no reincarnation of hylia, none of the things they tell you about hylia are true, its the gods lying to you, and the trio is stuck in this cycle not realizing they are merely being played with

(being sealed or dying as a deity send you to the realms of the gods, where they pin them down on a pillar like bugs (unconcious) and occasional borrow their magic for some tricks and schemes to play with in the world of hyrule, the deities are still there, and will be until the gods decide to kill them fully- and at the end of destiny as demise is take by them, in the last few moments before he is hung up like a trophy he not only sees that courage, who he thought he had fully killed, was already there, but in the darkness were countless remains of abandoned deities hanging dead on pillars, how many times have the gods done this before?)

(possibly not as interesting as i hope it is, but this is what im going for, and it only really works if the rest of the series exists just the same, otherwise the whole point of putting everything in this context would become kinda meaningless? at least thats how i feel about it so i dont like calling it an AU, but im not mad about it bc i guess if you take all the lore at face value it is completely different and doesnt work with canon at all? idk )

looking through the lighter tag at the end of the day and your posts are there 😭 I am fed I am happy

HAVE YOU SEEN THAT OFFICIAL STORY ART OF LIGHTER (DONT!!!! READ AHEAD IF YOU HAVENT AND DONT WANT MINOR SPOILERS !!!!) ooohh my god. not to yearn on main but imagine him letting you help him bandage him up or him softly watching you trace your hand along his scars. If you ask he'll probably tell you where he got them but he doesn't wanna make you uncomfortable by just straight up telling you GAH I LOVE HIM

I keep thinking about how he's the one of newest sons of calydon members and the whole idea around being friends since before he had joined them and just . ouugh. And maybe you join him (and he will literally never forget it even though he wont mention how much that means to him)

Something something being the mechanic to his biker . I can't spell it out I had a mokent of clarity and got embarrassed about all this but I'm NOT TURNING ANON ON AGAIN!!!! I want to talk about him so badly he's such a loser (/pos)

he’d definitely not tell you straight up from what we’ve seen in the story currently. he lightly dances around the topic, maybe thinking it might push you away from him. who would love someone who’s covered in scars? but the moment you show even more interest and care, it softens him so much.

ALSO since i just finished the quest, he says at the end that we’re (proxy/mc) the only ones that remember him. like i literally did this whole event FOR YOU !! and if the SoC ever ask about you two, he’d get flustered when you’d start talking about your friendship with him. you’re mentioning some embarrassing moments and he just clears his throat and gets up, saying that he needs to get more nitro-fuel (there’s still a lot left). seeing you talk to the girls from afar, reminded him of when he first met you. he was beat up, bruised, earning titles for himself, people would never voluntarily go up to him without the intent of starting a fight. and yet you did, bearing no ill intent and only pure interest in wanting to know him.

for the last one, OUGSHSGSKDG i genuinely have like a thing for machinery (robot men i love) but i never see it through because i fear i am not a mechanic/engineer. definitely will try to write a long proper post for it so maybe in the future (maybe after his release?). BUT THE VISION !! I SEE IT !!

[blairamok]

i’m feeling more normal these days, i’ve been enjoying my break immensely. i want to talk and post about my AU again, even though i said i wanted to keep it to myself for a bit, but i love sharing it so much. i just need to get my brain into a space that can ignore the stressful comments because i know they’ll never really go away lol

Where Chivalry Went To Die - Chapter 3: Resonance

“Sir Hegemol. First of my Great Knights,”  

The water had wet the very ends of his beard. 

“First of his rank; First to gain my trust, ”

He craned his head upwards, attempting to escape the rising tide, only to find his efforts met with the runoff from a new gutter. 

“First Royal Tactician, Right Hand to the King himself,” 

The old knight’s eyes squeezed shut as the rain swallowed them as well, hands bracing on either side of the prison, if only to lift his head just a bit higher. “First of us to fall.”

Hegemol’s mandibles struggled to part as they were seized by the cold, drawing in a desperate last breath before the water claimed his mask.

“First of us to fail Hallownest.”

The city, the lights, the cries from the citizens were drowned out as he found himself swallowed wholly by the rain.

"What say you, to the people you abandoned?"
