Vanishing Point par The Parks Via Flickr : Inari and Angélique are on their way to celebrate Christmas in the House of the Seven Dwarves with the Krampus clan... But on the E651 national road between Schladming and Radstadt, Inari breaks all speed limits with his Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS, affectionately nicknamed Vanishing Point. Wild Side by Motley Crue at full bass, the girls are hugged by police lieutenant Alice Faust Her, accompanied by agent Helmut Kool...

Wait so how are you planning on telling the baau story again?? Or is it already being told and Im just stupid

It’s already being told!

Just don’t expect any linear narrative for now, that’s for the timeline I’ll make. I might get started on it sometime in the future, but it won’t be super detailed and concrete yet (that will probably sadly take til the end of BY, or at least the SS/DE update… there are still many things we need to know)

The way i talk about BAAU’s story is kinda speculative rn, giving little tidbits of lore and character info, some ideas for what would happen in the little narrative I’m weaving together. It’s very loose, just like the way I think about BAAU in my head. (To be fair I’m talking about introductory stuff first instead of dropping all the spoilers and serious arcs, so in a way it’s still kinda linear? Just scattered.)

BAAU likely won’t be an actual fic or webcomic in the conventional sense, with a point A to point B plot. It’ll be told in the pics/minicomics/lore info, because for a massive AU like this that I’m doing purely for fun, I’m not going to try and stress over treating it like an actual project. Take away all the intricate details, you guys are just watching me play in a sandbox

TLDR; BAAU’s story is already being told, there’ll be a timeline wip so things can be understood in a more linear narrative way, but for all intents and purposes, this is it baby

If you want to follow along btw, the best way to do it is by reading the masterpost!

more of my old Ghirahim art (2019-2020)

on the first drawing i drew him with Gilded Sword from MM (i think, maybe i drew it from memory cause i usually do that)

on the second drawing i think i heavily referenced his official art from SS

on the last drawing i drew his ver from "a tale of two rulers" ,i was obsessed with this tloz webcomic in 2019-2020 (btw hes said "m-master? p-please forgive me!")

Ridiculous.

Text below cut:

Top image:

• SD-MH

• Walks into the battlefield as if entering a Wild West showdown

• Professional neatfreak

• Possible background (dead) Disassembly Drone in the Lanthanum-57 story

• Unfortunate squadmates with SD-SS and SD-NS (the Savoys)

-MH is the squad’s terminator

• Marigold flower is the DDs’ armband: it opens up to reveal manufacturing IDs and all

• Doesn’t bare fangs as much as the other Marigold DDs

• If you read the webcomic, you’ll understand why SD-MH wears stockings here

Bottom image:

• Tail “spikes” when Oh Shit mode is triggered; also applies when agitated/pissed off

-Apparently, that’s now my HC for Disassembly (+ Alpha) Drones in general :D

[shannonsketches]

how does the big man feel about his two moms, what's their relationship like

Oh god OP I have so many feelings about this why would you ask me that here wE GO:

Ganondorf is a total mama's boy -- or was, until he accepted the truth of her.

H'okay, to understand my ridiculously involved perspective on Ganondorf and Twinrova, I am going to remind the audience that I spent a solid ten years working on a Ganondorf backstory webcomic prior to and shortly after Skyward Sword came out. When SS came out, I was angry, obviously, but I adapted my headcanons to include Demise, as it became clear his influence wasn't going to leave in future games.

So. oh god I'm gonna try and make my brain spaghetti as digestible as possible for people who have not known me that long lol bear with me, okay sO!!! SO!!

Demise. Happened. Whatever. But for me, to preserve my precious autonomous complex gremlin from becoming the baby from The Omen, in my little safe space bubble headcanon, Demise was sealed inside of the Triforce, and has been deteriorating for as long as he's been in there. We'll come back to that, okay, just stick that on the corkboard and remember I said that.

Cut to Twinrova. She's 300+ years old. She's lived through two previous Gerudo Kings. In my headcanon, Gerudo males are always born sickly and often don't live very long, which is why the Gerudo kind of ceremoniously decided they're godkings, since they tend to be tragic births, often killing the mother and then dying days or weeks later.

Twinrova, and her magicks, changed this for the king prior to Ganondorf. She helped stabilize his health, and he lived long enough to fight in the civil war. When he died, she realized that she had an opportunity, and when Ganondorf was born, she took it.

You may have noticed that Twinrova is the only Gerudo who can do magic (in OoT, at least). This contributed to a headcanon that she is an arcane practitioner, and a follower of the deadgod Demise. Do you see where I'm going with this? Walk with me.

Ganondorf is born, his mother dies, Twinrova is the only magic user and the only one with the ability to keep this child alive. So she takes him, and isolates him, and not only keeps him alive through his sickly infancy, but also raises him herself. She becomes a strict teacher, and a harsh trainer, and an unapologetically intense parent.

This is, to Ganondorf's knowledge, because the desert is cruel, and Ganondorf is of divine birth (all Gerudo Kings are), and he will have to not only be a protector of his people, but also walk the fine line between ally and threat to Hyrule. He needs to be elite. He needs to be perfect. He needs to embody a god, because quite frankly she intends him to do that.

She's raising a vessel in which to resurrect Demise, and take revenge on Hyrule for all the shit it's pulled for the last 300 years.

But Ganondorf doesn't know this. He fully believes she's preparing him for the realities of his role, and of the world he'll be stepping into as a leader. So he defends her at every turn. When Nabooru points out how horrible she is (she hates Nabooru, if that's not clear), when the late Queen questions her motives and her mothering toward Ganondorf, when anyone speaks ill of her, Ganondorf speaks in her defense. That's his mother, and she was the Gerudo Queen for a time, and she is to be respected as both.

And then he gets the triforce, and that godmatter hits, and he consumes what is left of Demise, and he knows the truth, and he understands, and he is angry.

But she is useful.

So she is not his mother anymore. She is a flunkie, like any other, and he is, for the first time in his life, more powerful than she could ever hope to be. And Demise is dead. He ate what was left of that god's heart and his power is the proof. There is only Ganondorf.

And she'll get what she wants. Hyrule will fall. But she will not take part in it. She's confined to the temple as a watchdog, since she was so eager to be subservient, unless he personally summons her elsewhere. And when she dies, he is much too far gone in his battle with sanity to care.

So, tl;dr:

It's complicated.

When the Gust Bellows item was first added in Smash Bros 3DS, my friends and I immediately took to calling it the Bag of Winds, as a reference to the iconic scene from the Spongebob Squarepants Movie. Nice to bring it full circle!

Day Ten

02/19/25

INTERMISSION to [I] ==>

( page 1154 to page 1250 )

Favorite Panel: Page 1188

Favorite Pesterlog: N/A

Favorite Flash (if applicable): Page 1154

Takeaways:

- My favorite Flash!

The only flash but still! I love the stage motif transition between every act, and the entire Felt Mansion is just a visual masterpiece, it's so cool!!! ( I have one of the rooms as my laptop wallpaper hehe. )

I can MOSTLY follow the webcomic characters reading webcomics joke, the beta kids reading the midnight crew makes sense, so the midnight crew would read Homestuck, all well and good, THAN WHAT THE FUCK WAS JADE READING... I believe it’s main purpose is for Hussie to make semi self loathing meta jokes about how dense all their work is but in reality this joke just creates way too many questions to work.

- “On review, your schemes seem a bit convoluted. But you wouldn't have it any other way.” Yeah, that's pretty much what I expected. It’s honestly too early to try to grasp the timey-wimey shenanigans of the INTERMISSION, but I will do my BEST!!

- Ok so favorites. I love all the Midnight crew but especially I love Spades Slick ( the humor that comes with him is always so witty and dry. ) and Diamonds Droog. ( I don’t remember much about him besides I find him very handsome,, ) (( Dad Egbert and Spades both pair cute with him in my humble opinion.. )) Favorite Felt members ( from the top of my head ) are Fin, Clover, Die, Stitch in no particular order! ( Sidenote: i love the Felt’s clever names hehe. ) While I'm on this note, I will also say Ms Paint has a VERY special place in my heart, I adore the little lady. I love Snowman aswell, she’s so menacing and horrifyingly gorgeous. Lastly, Doc Scratch. IIIII love him SO much. I have an affinity for rude narcissistic men in formal attire, he is no exception. ( My main tumblr page and laptop are both Doc Scratch themed. )

- My favorite Panel!

This panel is just soso cool. The colors fit so nice together and there’s stringy linework that Hussie utilizes so well. ( also he just looks hot. ) Spades Slick the man you are.. Also good time to state, SS is my favorite incarnation of Jack!

- Along with my previous point on Spades Slick and the writing that comes along with him, the INTERMISSION is filled with good bits and concepts such as how they store their items into their favorite pornagraphic magazine.

- I am excited to read the INTERMISSION because in a way I feel like it inadvertently gives me a feel of how my future Problem Sleuth reading will go. I enjoy the easily identifiable formulaic structures.

Another small Homestuck artstyle degradation rant. Homestuck utilizes its bean art style ( which I discussed in an earlier post ) in the later end of its run, I believe majoritively for convenience. I believe this is also why they opted for simplistic geometric backgrounds and real backgrounds aswell.

( Please excuse my cherry picking of each Panel, it’s hard to find perfectly adequate examples. )

Background wise, while the early acts have the thin geometric grayscale to monochrome line art, they also have complex colorful geometric backgrounds which devolved into simplistic geometric shapes is obviously easier to mass produce with faster turn around, but god does it make me sad.

While early acts of Homestuck utilize real images i believe they are better well implemented, it looks more purposeful and it results in it looking more pretty.

I am starting to understand how people got to the Dad Egbert/Diamonds Droog rarepair.

ALTERNIA’S first appearance!! The moons are the only thing I recognise, it's so multicolored and bright? I love the sparkly green sky.

Why do Biscuts and Eggs look so fucking weird, like theyre not to scale or something.

Did Die somehow transport the Mansion to Alternia????

- Is the timey-wimey shenanigans of the INTERMISSION going over my head again? ...perhaps. All of the time trails visuals are really pretty to look at however so i can’t really stay upset!

- Sorry today’s post was mostly reactionary notes to the pages! I have a feeling that’ll be the theme with the INTERMISSION just because of the way it's like,, written?? It’s just harder to make over arching commentary is what I'm getting at :B.

Tabby's Writing Game: Day 31

WIP Title Exposure!!

Welcome to the final day of Tabby's Writing Game! Today I'm going to expose myself for having too many WIPs... and give you a little blurb or a couple of tropes/tags with each of them. Look forward to them!

A/B/O fics (all omega Harry, of course + alpha Louis unless otherwise specified):

Modern Cottagecore AU - Harry has a little cottage he inherits from a relative and spends his time looking after his gardens with his cat, Delphine, or blogging. Louis is a writer that Harry bumps into at the local grocery.

"scent fic" - It's common courtesy to wear scent neutralisers in public. Harry, however, doesn't like to. One day, he smells the most enticing alpha scent whilst on public transport and ends up making a tit of himself sniffing around to find out just who it is.

"breeding/pregnancy kink fic" - exactly what it says on the tin, plus a little surprise kink that I'm not listing. ;)

chastity's not the devil, but an angel in disguise - omegas are put in chastity as soon as their first heat ends, to protect them from bad alphas. Harry, the son of florists, meets Lord Louis Tomlinson, the Duke's son, when he stops by looking for flowers for his parents' springtime ball.

Duchessrry #5 - a 10+1 fic of little timestamps between when Louis met Harry and their marriage (which takes place in Duchessrry #6)

"ribbon fic sequel" - Harry is pregnant. Louis stays with him as he gives birth to their first litter of pups. More ribbons are involved. (Note: this is finished already, so technically not a WIP, but it's not posted yet and won't be for a while.)

petal - male omegas are very rare, with approximately one born out of every 100,000 pups. Louis is an alpha, but to his misfortune, he's gay, and male betas just don't do it for him. But then Harry falls right into his lap - quite literally.

you've stolen my heart (but you keep it safe) - ANR (adult nursing relationship) fic. O/O as well. Louis is mated to an alpha at first and has two sons, but their mating is crumbling. Harry is an anxious uni student and they meet at an omega centre for the Adult Nursing Program there.

Two Hearts In One Home - posting now! you can check it out HERE!

Put A Little Love On Me - Harry's father passes, but an omega can't legally run a pack without an alpha mate in this universe. He's forced to meet eligible suitors from all over England and ends up discovering that there's a lot more in store for him than he ever thought possible. (name subject to change)

BDSM/Kink fics:

"broken-armed daddy dom" - possibly-canon fic where Louis breaks his arm, but even though he's injured, he still doms his baby. (name subject to change but tbh I kinda like it as is lmao)

Disability/Injury/Sickfics:

Little Bird - autistic Harry and ADHDer Louis grow up together. (note for those concerned: I am autistic and have ADHD as well.)

Media-Inspired fics:

i think you and the moon and neptune got it right - Pokemon Sun and Moon fic, with a twist.

these points of data make a beautiful line (and we're out of beta, we're releasing on time!) - Portal AU, with Harry as Chell and Louis as an added non-canon character. Follows the canon storyline, for the most part. (Note: this is finished already, so technically not a WIP, but it's not posted yet and won't be for a while.)

Portal 2 AU - Harry and Louis go through the events of Portal 2 in a mostly-canon fashion, with a non-canon, completely original epilogue after their escape.

Tangled AU - Harry is Rapunzel. Louis is Flynn Rider. That's all you need to know :D

Strawberries & Cigarettes - inspired by the song. Bad Boy teen Louis, average teen Harry.

Mythical Creatures fics:

"dragon x prince(ss) fic" - this is very vaguely inspired by ads I've seen of that webcomic "No More Princes". Harry is a carrier prince who all of England wants to marry and Louis is a dragon prince who protects him under vow. Of course, the one person the two of them aren't allowed to fall in love with is each other.

"flower fairies fic" - inspired by @jaerie's flower fairies series. Flower fairy Hydrangea (better known as Harry) has always been a little too curious about humans. When Louis moves into a secluded cabin for a writing retreat nearby, Harry can't help but watch him - until he gets caught. (I realise that this sounds like a voyeurism fic from that description, I can promise you that it is not lmaoooo)(Also, thank you to Jaerie for letting me use your flower genitalia thing! And to @sadaveniren for asking Jaerie because I was too scared to >_<)

Strawbharry and Blouberry - Harry is a strawberry fairy. Louis is a blueberry fairy. They live across the meadow from each other, but that doesn't stop them from becoming friends. (Inspired by @larry-hiatus' edit!!)

Historical fics:

"scandinavian arranged marriage fic" - probably the dumbest temp title I've created but oh well. Louis is from a warm, southern country called Alastarza (think Italy). Harry is from Farfinie, a cold, northern country (think a cold northern European country like idk Finland? is Finland cold? Brain is not working). They're arranged to be married, and so Louis must travel north for the wedding.

Witches and Wizards fics:

"winter solstice fic" - Genderqueer Witch Harry and Cowan Louis dealing with the grief that comes in wintertime, which, several years prior to this fic, was when Harry's Familiar, their cat Shadow, passed away. However, a new kitty comes along, and she's just as special as her ancestor... (part one of Witchrry and Company)

"Other" fics:

tinyism - Harry wishes desperately that he was shorter than he was.

23 fics... not including all my planned sequels that I haven't started yet. Can you tell that I have ADHD? :'D

Thank you again for joining me for TWG! I may do it again in the future... maybe with different prompts, too, if I think of any.

Have a great rest of your dayyyyyy! <3

State of the Author: January 2024

Normally, I wouldn't do a thing like this. However, because I have not actually updated y'all on my WIPs in a while, I thought I might as well!

We'll start with the thing most of you followed me for: long-form fiction. And I call it that since all of these will be over 15k words (hopefully). There are three novels I'm currently focusing on.

LONG-FORM FICTION

Lodestar is currently stuck in a worldbuilding spiral, since it's a near-future humanity in space. While I do love sci-fi, science and math are not especially my forte. I hope to start drafting by the end of the summer, around September.

Vespertine has started on the first draft, though I'm also outlining still - something of a combined process. I am excited to share more of it with you, though it may be tough since most of it still lives in my head. Such is the woe of the artist.

Unto Summer Kings is in the first draft and currently hovering around 15k words! So far it's the longest I've gotten on a novel, and if I stay on track I could start my second draft by May, and begin beta reading by August.

LONG-FORM FANFICTION

I hesitate a little to touch on this one, just because. However, for the pure self indulgence I will. I have three major fanfics currently posted on my AO3, all of them multichaptered.

The Hanged Man is a Naruto SI!OC as Hatake Sakumo, immediately before his death. I currently have 8 chapters out and the main beats of the fic are fully outlined as of this month, which marks a major turning point in the fic's planning.

The Ever-Growing Gloaming is another self insert, this time into the events of Baldur's Gate 3. Vespere, the main character, whose name is subject to change, has been plucked from August 2023 and has not played the game since early access March 2023. Therefore they know less than you might expect.

Finally I have my Supernatural series, For Want of a Broken Nail (Broken Nail Verse). And I know what you're going to say, it's super meta to have a self insert in that fandom, you're writing SPN fanfic in 2024 what is wrong with you, etc etc. But the concept seized me full on by the balls and I already have the first 5 seasons outlined. Sorry, not sorry? No one is obligated to read it anyhow.

I also have a billion ideas on the backburner, ranging from fandoms like Game of Thrones and the MCU (for some reason) to Avatar: the Last Airbender and Star Wars. I'll post 'em when I post 'em!

ART PROJECTS

Wolf in Shepherd's Clothing is a comic of humanity's first lycanthrope, taking place in ancient Mesopotamia, in what is modern day Iran. The main character, Lahar, is gender neutral/ambiguous. So far, I'm stuck in outlining and drafting but hopefully soonTM.

Witchboy (title wip) is a story I'm working on with my partner @fallenorpheus based on various YA novels we read growing up. So far we aren't super set on the story, but it's definitely about a boy who is (accidentally) a witch, his best friend, his adoring father, and his estranged mother.

Dame-Errant (title wip) is a story that, instead of in comic form, is a story that is illustration snapshots, accompanied by short story prose. It is about a butch knight, Dame Johana Talon, who is tasked by Queen Atossa to find her missing son, Prince Khosrow. Typical 'prince(ss) in the tower shenanigans' but then, politics. And boy does Jo hate politics.

I have other webcomic ideas (mtf vs bbeg accidentally breaking a prophecy, team of bipoc/minority characters getting thrown into a fantasy world for an adventure, etc) so feel free to ask.

PERSONAL

I hesitate to touch on this, really, since it's not something that just anyone needs to know, but I've been struggling to find a good name for myself. Hesperos is a good name, but doesn't necessarily feel like 'me' these days. I do enjoy the h/e sounds... I've considered Ezra, but that's just the name of an OC and I'd rather not get quite that meta.

Ah well, sure it'll sort itself out eventually.

THE END

Anyway, thanks for reading! I know that's quite a lot for this one post to cover, but you stuck til the very end. Not sure when I'll start posting again in earnest but I hope sooner rather than later!
