You do requests right? How about Tatiana from Echoes?

Here she is! 👋^_^

[rampantram]

Drawings from yesterday's stream! Thanks again for the ideas, guys - they were super fun to draw. 😂

[m3dieval]

what are the movements you can't make in full harness with your armour? with video if thats alright

My pauldrons (and wrapper) create notable limitations. These are made for jousting so, when used as intended, they don't have to be super mobile. When the ecranche strapped to me I lose even more movement in that left shoulder anyways. Planning on getting a set of spaulders for fencing (and either a smaller wrapper or a different helmet).

Something about cuisse and faulds make it so I cannot really cross my legs when seated.

@bragganhyl asked

May I suggest Pallegina and Maneha for the 2 character sketches? 😊 (Prompt: "Snow")

Maneha thought Pallegina looked a little cold, so she thought she'd take her mind off it. Pallegina, on the other hand, is... preoccupied 😳

Send me 2+ characters and/or ships and a prompt, and I will draw a very quick, very messy sketch of them 🎨🖌

What are some of your favorite character relationships/dynamics in TMNT, and why? Is there anything that you particularly like seeing explored with them in fan works (art, writing, comics, etc)?

I’m a big fan of the disaster twins, of course. They’re just so fun and are so similar while being so different. It’s just great. I also really love Future Leo and CJ bc the father-son dynamic is so precious.

And I’m not really suuuuuure. I feel like I like a bunch of stuff as long as it’s done well

Hope you brought a fire type

@formvienthusiast you are absolutely correct that Anakin is a bug catcher! The vibe is so correct. I think deoxys is like, his partner pokemon and the only outlier because "chosen one" lol He's a special space boy so he gets a special space pokemon!! (also the combination blue and red in deoxys and Ani's blue to red lightsaber yk? maybe i just think a lot about symbolism who knows)

For the Ship Bingo:

Shadmaria

Kiturge

And/Or Mephadow

Oooohooo I'm excited now

ㅤ

Shadaria

"They keep me up at night" Self explanatory they make me insane

"I ship them because of canon" You see. I didn't really have an opinion of their relationship for a while so I just accepted it when people said they were siblings canonically, and then as I got further into the games and started reading the Shadow manga I eventually couldn't ignore just how much their canon relationship and fanon potential compelled me anymore. Like with S0ntai1s and S0n1ne, it's really their canon and spin off media interactions which got me hooked to begin with. Like canon really presented to us "they kept each other from feeling lonely, were each other's best friends, Maria was so deeply important to Shadow that he structured his morals and reasons for living around her and has been very fixated on her memory ever since he awoke from the pod" and expected me to feel normal about them?

"Deranged" Self explanatory 🙂

"I just want them to be happy, is that too much to ask?!" Listen listen I love the tragic nature of their relationship in canon and it's fun to adapt in fanon too, but even I love to imagine sometimes scenarios in which Maria lived and they were able to be happy together I crave it🥺🥲💖

"I ship them platonically" like with the previous ship bingo answer involving S0n1ne and S0ntai1s, Shadaria is one of those ships where my favorite depiction of them is queerplatonic. I can enjoy them platonically as best friends quite a lot for sure (and same with the romantic interpretation), it's just that the idea of them not having a solid idea of what their relationship is beyond their friendship and their arrangement (with Shadow assisting Maria) or the fact that they'd love to be by each others' sides forever is really compelling to me. An intensely strong bond to each other which the usual labels can't easily pin down

*Fist banging* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"THEY NEED TO KISS ALREADY" Just one? For me? 🥺 Maybe even a forehead kiss, or a hand kiss, or a kiss on the cheek, or– 🥺👉👈

"I enjoy and/or create fanworks of them" Self explanatory 😎

"OTP" In this case it's not that they're my otp overall for the Sonic franchise. Rather, it's that Shadaria is alongside Mephadow as my OTPs for Shadow ships in specific. And really, it's hard for me not to be so invested in such a strong relationship like this (one that is so integral to Shadow's character and backstory)

"YES!!!!!!!!" YAHOOOO

*Shoulder Grip* Listen listen listen I may not have been able to formulate thoughts and essays as quickly/often as I have with Sontails but guys. Guys. My brain is vibrating with them. I search up the tag on tumblr all the time because I adore seeing them. It is only because of busy and fatigue that I am not posting more about them. The Shadow Manga and Movie 3 continue to make the brain rot worse💖

"omg squeeeee [keysmash]" Listen listen listen they are just so they just have me like 🥺💖💖💖 thinking about how they are together in every version of the Sonic universe, imagining them being companions, being soft, everything 🖤💙

"I AM SO NORMAL ABOUT THEM (LYING)" 🙃 Guys I think I am nearly just as normal about them as Shadow is about Maria, which means at least decently normal, right?

"They are so sooooooo silly :3" Like in general I do love the idea of Maria getting her and Shadow into mischief from time to time on the ARK (as her condition allows, and when she can get away with it), but it's especially Sonic Movie 3 Shadaria that has me like this 😁💖

ㅤ

Kiturge

"They keep me up at night" Self explanatory I think about them and the intricacies of their characters/relationship much too often

"I ship them because of canon" Okay so like, I first started getting into Kiturge partially because they're explicit S0ntai1s parallels and partially cause a friend of mine got really into them before I read idw and made me read Imposter Syndrome before I finished reading the Archie comics. And man. They have got something they've truly got something. They're canonically co-dependent, Kitsunami wants to be with Surge forever, same trauma, they're talked about sticking it to the world and paving their own road together, they're toxic and yet surprisingly soft about each other, they're partners, they need each other, etc etc I love them. With every new issue that comes out it's just made abundantly clear to me that (like Sonic and Tails) this is the strongest relationship they will have with anyone. They are not to be separated. They've grown together. They were quite literally made for each other y'all like what's not to get obsessed over?

"Deranged" M-Me? Deranged about Surge and Kit? What? Nooooo... *very obviously hides my large essay series in my drafts dissecting their characters and relationship in comic canon*

"I just want them to be happy, is that too much to ask?!" Please universe if I could just ask for one thing. Please. Allow them to take the third path they desired so long ago, to reject being forced into being heroes or villains (good or bad) and just be allowed to adventure together and be partners forever, doing that which makes them happy💖 They deserve what Sonic/Tails and Mighty/Ray have, and also to get to be in the morally grey area that Team Dark gets to be in

"I ship them platonically" Ahshsjs I know I'm gonna sound like a broken record at this rate but my ideal Kiturge dynamic is queerplatonic also. Like Sonic, I see Surge on the aroace spectrum, as someone who doesn't feel romantic/sexual attraction in a usual manner and doesn't particularly desire/care about romance. Her and Drippy would never do something like kiss or ask each other out or any classic way to begin a relationship. They'd just be together for so long that they'd naturally start to blur the lines in their relationship, and so they'd enter a stage of "not dating but also not not dating so secret third thing". They'd be able to trust each other more than anyone else, they'd feel safe experimenting witb each other. They could french kiss simply because Surge randomly decided she wanted to try one, and decided Kit was the best option of experimentation. As for Kit himself, I think of him a bit more like Nine, someone who's also on the aroace spectrum and doesn't fully know what love is, but is a bit bewildered by potentially experiencing romantic/sexual feelings for the first time. He gets jealous of others that gets close to Surge, he wants to be useful to her, he wants to be praised by her, he wants to be her partner forever. He could give less of a shit whether Surge has platonic or romantic or any other feelings about him as long as it still means that she wants him around and looks at no one else

*Fist banging* SELF EXPLANATORY

"I swear to god if anything happens to them I will cry" Listen I just need them to end up alive, together, and happy living their best lives with each other it is all I ask

"Aesthetically pleasing" GAZE UPON THEY:

"THEY NEED TO KISS ALREADY" It would fluster the hell out of whoever is the receiver at first (as opposed to the initiator) they should make out sloppy for me. So sloppy that it makes other people around them uncomfortable

"I enjoy and/or create fanworks of them" Self explanatory ☺️✨️

"They need to bite each other harder and more often" You see usually when I put this tag it's because the two characters should continue to tear each other apart with their bare hands. In this specific case, they should bite each other harder and more often because it's hot. I think actually Kit would enjoy if Surge gave him bites of affection (one he realizes they're bites of affection), and they could also bite each other as foreplay to get freaky about it

"OTP" Not my OTP for the Sonic series as a whole, but definitely my OTP for Surge and Kit's characters for sure. Not a single Kit ship of mine comes even close, and while I have a large number of Surge ships (some that I am really into), Kiturge is undoubtedly number 1.

"YES!!!!!!!!"

*Shoulder Grip* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (genuinely what I would do to see more people talking about these two who don't just call them siblings and call it a day or try to separate them. This is how I feel meeting someone who even implies they like Kiturge)

"omg squeeeee [keysmash]" Lowkey they're just kind of everything like. Have you seen Kit's smiles when Surge says they're gonna kill some people/get revenge together and go their own way? Have you seen the soft way Kitsunami handles and cradles Surge when Surge is unconscious or stressed as hell?😭💚🩵

"I AM SO NORMAL ABOUT THEM (LYING)" Haha yeah uh. Don't check the Kiturge tag I'm completely normal about them and have posted about them a completely normal amount

ㅤ

Mephadow

"They keep me up at night" Listen I have not been okay about them since I watched the Sonic 06 cutscenes. I often think about what was and what could have been and what could be

"I ship them because of canon" Okay, so I believe I've told this story before, so I'll try to be brief. But I wasn't expecting to ship them when I got into 06. Based on fandom jokes and talk about the game these days, I assumed I would end up being really into M3philver (which I am, but in this case I mean like. Otp level for Mephiles ships), and then I'd be into Mephadow the same way I'm into Inf1nad0w and other ships of the like (which is to say, I thought it would be a hate ship basically). And then Mephiles’s intense festering desire for revenge turned into desire in the span of like. What. Five minutes? Mephiles was all "Oh you don't remember me? Well I remember you. What awaits you is oblivion!" and then after like 5 minutes he switches gears to trying to convince Shadow to give up on the world and join him. He wanted Shadow the Hedgehog so badly it made him look stupid, and even Shadow was interested in him for a minute there? Yeah that's what did me in canon wise. Mephiles getting fixated on Shadow and wanting him to join him with the addition of Mephiles' disappointment over Shadow refusing to join him.

"Deranged" Listen, I'm deranged about Mephiles and deducing what's going on with him to begin with, and him becoming interested in Shadow in 06 the way he does is a part of that

"I just want them to be happy, is that too much to ask?!" In this case, I like to imagine two scenarios. One (which I wouldn't want in canon) where Shadow joins Mephiles and they burn everything down together but also like are lowkey married/partners about it. The second one (which I wouldn't mind in canon) is a scenario in which Mephiles does manage to claw his way into the new timeline, but he ends up being stuck staying under the radar and living among the common people so long that he starts to become a bit more attached and a bit less keen to fulfill his deep down desire to burn it all. Then he and Shadow cross paths again and they (who in this scenario find the other interesting) eventually form a closer relationship. Dunno if that makes any sense. Basically the two options are either "they fulfill Mephiles' 06 desires together" or "Mephiles grows to become more attached to the world in his attempt to lay low and gain power to enact his plans and then ends up together with Shadow as a partner". That's the short of it

*Fist banging* THE POTENTIAL GUYS THE POTENTIAL

"THEY NEED TO KISS ALREADY" Listen to me while I would love something mutual where they kiss so sloppy and freakily everyone is outta there, I will at minimum take a onesided kiss filled with all of Mephiles’ stewing and festering feelings while Shadow is just like🧍during his split second of surprise (which includes "wtf?"). They should have one for Mephiles’ sake at least. It would make him worse about Shadow, but he should get one anyways

"I enjoy and/or create fanworks of them" Self explanatory 🤩

"I ship them in spite of canon" I know with the way canon is going Mephiles basically got rejected twice, and the second time was new timeline Shadow's first impression of him (not good), and also he technically died again, but this is why I also like to fantasize about the what ifs of them actually getting together/how it would happen🤷

"OTP" Not my otp for the series as a whole, but definitely my OTP for Mephiles ships (with M3phi1ver as a close second) and Shadow ships (up at #1 with Shadaria)

"YES!!!!!!!!" YEAHHHHH!!

*Shoulder Grip* 😐 I am staring straight into your soul gripping your shoulders asking "Do you see them? Do you see them? Do you get me?"

"omg squeeeee [keysmash]" I must admit I saw those miniscule Mephadow crumbs from Shadow Generations, and they had me both like 🥺💖 and in pain. I love Mephiles guys. I love them.

"I AM SO NORMAL ABOUT THEM (LYING)" 🙃

"They are so sooooooo silly :3" Can't explain this one it just feels true

ㅤ

Thank you so much for the ask, anon! I very much enjoyed getting to think about these pairings, as well as share some of my ramblings ☺️

And despite the fact that we only got one bingo, these are definitely some of my favorite ships for sure!

If you or anyone else has any other ships they'd like to pose for the bingo (or any other inquiries, including specific ship questions), feel free to shoot me another ask 🥰

Fanfic Writer Interview

Tagged by: @a-most-beloved-fool - thank you!! <3 <3 <3

What fandoms do you write in? At the moment, pretty much just DS9, though I've written one TOS ficlet this year.

How many words have you published in 2024? 139, 411 😅😅 Absolutely bananas, I cannot even comprehend how I did that!

It's been an absolaute delight to properly fall in love with writing this year though ❤️Before 2024, I'd written very little fanfic ever, and this has been JUST so much fun! (ftr, 3.5k in 2021, ~3k in 2015, and - huh! Almost 30k in 2011/12 🧐 Well, that's a surprise - apparently my "baby's first fanfic" back in 2012 was a whole 20k, which is far longer than I remember!)

What is your greatest achievement this year? I mean, Vision Awry for sure! Seeing it grow and grow and slowly realising just how long it was becoming (although even right up to the end, I was never able to guess accurately!) My crazy summer marathon to get it all written before I resumed posting (which I did mostly manage!) and then the last few weeks in December pouring my heart and soul into actually finishing it before the end of the year. It's completely mad that I did that!

(Although weirdly, now it's finished it's just kind of like 'yeah I suppose I did that, feels ages ago now though' and I feel like I have to really push myself to feel the pride and excitement I think I should be feeling? Idk, it's weird 😅)

What are your top three fics you've written this year? Oh gosh, I have to choose? Okay...

Vision Awry - obviously :P

Sleep Paralysis - that mad, 3-day blitz of inspiration was so worth hiding away in my room for 😅

Um, unpublished, but the Miles&Julian-talk-about-suicide ficlet I posted on Tumblr? It was far better than I expected when I read it back, and was a higlight amongst the rest of the December writing-is-hard feels.

What was your biggest pit of despair moment? There were definitely many times during Vision Awry... the biggest were probably either:

Re-starting Day 5 in August, after writing nothing during June and July, and reailsing I had no idea what was going to happen in Day 5 apart from the deaths at the end;

Writing Epilogue 3 in the last few weeks, only eking out 1-300 words at a time unless I overdosed on meds (😅 it worked tho...), getting increasingly convinced that I was not going to be finishing by the end of the year, which sucked; or

Any time I realised the scene wasn't working because of X thing which meant I would need to totally rewrite it. I don't do drafts, really, so that was always devastating 😭 (but DID work out for the best, at least)

What have you learned? SO, so much. I'll limit myself to three things. (I'm sorry, I'm no good at choices or being concise!)

That if I have an idea, ideally I need to write all of it, straight away, and finish it while it’s fresh. I honestly don’t know how many WIPs I’m actually going to finish, because even while I love many of the ideas, I’m not in love with them the same way I was when I started.

That I love writing Garak and Julian interactions, even though I keep forgetting that I do, because Garak is an absolute pain to write sometimes (affectionate), and I've never been the biggest fan of stories that are solely Garashir.

That I need to be super careful about opening up prompts, because while they’re great for short-term motivation, if I don't complete them in a timely manner they end up hanging over me in a less-than-fun way.

What three fics have you read this year that you love? I do not know where to start with this one, omg, there are too many <3 <3 <3 Trying to think of ones I haven't mentioned before... (and while I'm trying to be better, I'm so bad at bookmarks 😅)

After The Siege by @youngpettyqueen - I didn't know I needed Worf&Julian but this has stayed in my mind since April and I love it to pieces. This dynamic is soooo gooddd 💕💕

The Recitation of Names by @jennelikejennay - Incredible, haunting, pre-TOS Spirk fic about the events mentioned in Obsession.

By Design by @akingnotaprincess - I haven't finished it yet (I am SO hype though, I just haven't had time over Christmas!) but it's SUCH a lovely Data/Julian fic, it's so sweet and sincere and wonderful.

What ideas are percolating for next year? Ughhhh, oh man. Idek. I've got about a dozen WIPs but the way my brian is rn, I'm just hoping that I'll be able to edit and publish some of the things I've written on Tumblr to finally put on AO3.

Hopefully I'll get going a bit more at some point - and whatever it is, you can bet on a traumatised Juian, I'm pretty sure ;)

Who do you want to thank? Again, where do I even start, there are so many people who have made this year wonderful 💕 I've never really felt like I've been *in* a Tumblr community before, and this year has really changed that, so a huge thank you to everyone who's made me feel so welcome! 🥰

@ectogeo-rebubbles, @the-last-dillpickle, @hellostuffedtiger for welcoming me into the Sloanshir side of DS9 with aplomb. Waking up to your reviews and recs of Imprisoned was actually unforgettable, it made my day many, many times over, and definitely gave me confidence to continue putting Julian into fucked-up situations!

@jackleg-penwright for messaging me and becoming my first Tumblr friend ❤️❤️❤️

@flippetyfloppity, @dreamerdrop, @phoenixfeathersinfall - your comments are life and love itself, your support for my writing this year has been incredible and made me feel so warm, thank you just so much! 🫂🫂🫂

I'm kind of High Key Anxious about missing anyone out if I tried to tag everyone else who has been supportive and wonderful and lovely, which sucks because I really want to, but if you've ever left a comment on anything I've done, PLEASE know that you are held in my heart most fondly with great love and affection 💖💖💖

tagging: @jackleg-penwright, @dreamerdrop, @ectogeo-rebubbles and anyone else who would like to!

Finally…one year later. XD

The fourth chapter of Runaway Bride has been published! Hope you all enjoy! 😊

[anawrites3]

trick or treat!! 👀 🎃

Here, love, a little drabble just for you 💕💕

Dick stroked his thumb along Slade's cheekbone with a hum. It was strange, seeing him like that - with his hair short, face clean-shaved, with two eyes watching him lazily - but… it wasn't bad. Just new. A little exciting.

"Well?" Slade flexed his fingers, digging them into Dick's waist. "What's the verdict?"

"You're still handsome, if that's what you want to hear." Dick laughed fondly. "Joey really took after you."

"You are aware that you're calling my son handsome while sitting in my lap, right?" Slade asked dryly. Dick kissed his cheek with a loud smack.

"Yep!" He grinned. "That's what you get for getting hit with a magic beam."

Slade rolled his eyes. "Unbelievable."

[that-was-anticlimactic]

"can you stay?" + atsushi & kyouka

"can you stay?"

atsushi's voice trembles as they speak, and kyouka freezes.

"nevermind."

atsushi laughs almost immediately, blinking away the impending tears and wavng their hands in front of them. "sorry. you don't... that was stupid of me to say. i'm-"

"stop apologizing."

kyouka slides beside them, curling up against their side. she head plops on their shoulder.

they're warm and shakey, and kyouka feels soft on atsushi's neck.

"i don't mind staying."

honestly, she wanted to stay. no matter how many times she watches atsushi - her sibling by everything but blood - get stabbed, the more she fears for them.

it's a little foolish, she knows; she's been familiar with blood and death and gore since her parents died. limbs being torn off and blood slowly oozing out of the body doesn't scare her.

but it does when she sees it happening to atsushi.

(and she doesn't say anything, but atsushi isn't the only one who gets nightmares - she's just better at keeping them quiet)

"you're just a kid..." atsushi mumbles, breaths shaky and uneven. "you shouldn't have to-to comfort me."

even so, kyouka soon feels the cool pads of their compression gloves rubbing her wrist.

"doesn't matter," she says, because she knows you're still a kid, too only upsets them more.

"okay."

they whisper it so quietly the only reasons kyouka hears it is because of her assassin training.

good.

she snuggles closer still and listens to their heartbeat. it starts off quick, but gradually falls until it's steady.

and kyouka is able to fall asleep with the reminder that her sibling is still alive.

(send me a sentence (+ a ship/character) and i'll write the next five sentences)

[liquidstar]

Oh fuck tomorrow I'm going to be a little birthday boy I keep almost forgetting

[doubleedgemode]

that post u made about A.B.A regarding her classic GG quotes is so interesting I had no idea she said that! I haven’t played the earlier games, would u happen to have screenshots of where she says that or where I might be able to see some of her classic/unused quotes ? I just like having that stuff on hand lol. Thank you!

Thanks to you, anon, for making me revisit the screenshots, and sure thing! I'm gonna link the page, keep in mind it's super meaty and covers a lot of characters so ctrl F search will be your best friend to find specific character/quotes :)

I found them in this big quote compilation in guiltygear.ru, click the sentence to go there. (Kudos to @/solradguy's big gg neo.cities archival efforts making me find the page)... BUT before anything, important DISCLAIMERS❗:

1. Some of the quotes in general can get kind of explicit or with double entendres so uh keep that in mind.

2. Something I just learnt after going to find you the translations, it's to keep in mind their author: See, this is better explained in the aforementioned ne.ocities archival, but a lot of the site's translations were made by someone who, without going too much into detail, is... a controversial member of the community, who is known for putting a good bunch of misconceptions and mistakes into their translations. (Also they have, in my opinion, unsavory and even problematic takes about the franchise. Don't try to argue with them, just block, per proper net etiquette) I don't know japanese so I don't know if this quote index suffers from that so in the end, we'll have to take all this quote info with a huge grain of salt.

Keeping all this in mind, this is already probably a wordier answer than you expected BUT since we are at it, I'll ramble about some A.B.A quotes (in no order) that I found interesting about the topic under the cut, if you want to read that.

First and third quotes in this picture are pretty self explanatory about this part of her character. The vs Faust intro... Man, that looks straight out of her strive song. Dunno if they pulled inspiration from that, but it seems even in the classic days they had a pretty clear idea of part of A.B.A's story being existing and thriving in her own unique way.. Which makes me kind of emotional for some reason ;_;

These were NOT unused as far as I can tell, but obviously do correct me if wrong!

I find it fascinating how much of clear glimpses these are are into her law obsession (more on that specific one later) and believing herself to be a high class person and looking above "lower classes" shoulders.

Some of these aren't exclusively about the aforementioned topics but they mention her cooking god knows what creatures (like in that one infamous xxac ending) and just.. being a scared, pathetic individual at heart. Sigh.

There are probably more examples of all this but this post needs to end sometime today.😭 So, returning to her law thing being an obsession in capital letters, look at her ingame overdrives:

But before that, the elephant in the room: People's observations of her instakill looking pretty taxing to her to perform and even making a berserk Paracelsus look like even he thinks this goes too far are not far from the truth. "I might not recover this time... Dying!!!" What else can I say, that's just sad.. and very interesting lorewise about the toll of this kind of summonings. Yeah, people noticed that in strive, she can summon the same exact door as in her insta with no struggle (or at least not the same level for sure) indicates her power or skill have improved which is so so fascinating.. Anyways. Back to the law thing. We've always had a huge sign under our noses: Her saying Evidence in her overdrives. While sure it can be evidence in a more general meaning, like proving facts or something, it does call to LEGAL evidence, too

...Maybe that was super obvious for everybodh but I'm afraid to admit I didn't connect the dots til now haha 😅

I cannot access my xxacp copy right now to see if her saying shouko during her overdrives is correct, but were we to take this as truth and also trust a japanese language study site as solid because. Again I have zero knowledge of japanese... According to Nihongoclassroom..

It can be used in a legal setting.

And with this we can neatly wrap this up... Tdlr I guess she's living up to her creator being a mansion owner (which isn't precisely cheap) and it gets so interesting and double edged (HAH) if you believe her classic games was as self aware while doing this and fooling herself as strive A.B.A is.

AND she has or had a HUGE interest in law (and if u allow me to reach mayyybe morality too?). While probably not as core to her as her key thing, she sure has told the audience almost as much as it.
