Honestly massive shoutout to Shadow Milk Cookie's VA (CJ Pawlikowski) for doing such an amazing job. You really brought the character to life (ever since the first Beast Yeast apperance tbh). I don't think I'd nearly love Shadow Milk as much if he had a different voice. Can't wait to see what's in store for the next update.

when tolya says to kaz in shu han, “tend not to your ghosts or they will come back hungry” we know that we’re supposed to think of jordie and how he haunts kaz. but what of inej, who kaz made into his very own ghost? inej, who kaz is looking at while tolya is saying this—who just three episodes later leaves because he won’t lay down his armor, won’t tend to her how she needs

and when she leaves, will she come back to him? and if so, how hungry will she be when she does? will kaz be there to sate her, to sate himself, or is their love just a state of constant, aching hunger? forever to be starved of one another

I have a lot of ideas in my head, some I manage to draw but others are more complex TT

A little bit of Linzolt in the first season of TLOK Or not? Lin has a lot to think about

This is also a look at the dark side of Lin's career, and I've wanted to explore this idea for a long time.She is the heroine of the city, But her shadow is as thick as the brightness that precedes her

Huh so that’s why Shiny Wake isn’t available in Pokémon Scarlet - it got lost in Big Blue. I wouldn’t complain to be fair, it gets to listen to this

(Shiny Wake is not to scale. Unless it ate a shit tonne of Herba Mystica or whatever happened to the Titanic Loyal Three. Shiny Wake is big but it’s not that big although it is definitely blue)

me to me: you need to lock in this week and finally get the first couple scenes of that vignette series finished/edited, and then start posting it. you care about this idea and will be happy once you get that project finished, so you should really focus your effort into working on it while you've got energy at the moment

me: ...what if I spontaneously started another WIP entirely unrelated to all of that?

Time for another AU dynamic drop~!

One of my favorite friendships within the competition group is between Starline and Hex.

While Starline really doesn’t take much of a notice of the little rat at first, too focused on trying to get everyone to follow his plan, he does eventually take note when he sees Hex’s work. Kid’s talented, shockingly so for one his age.

Then he learns from Lug that Hex is debating dropping out of the competition, and goes to talk to him. There, he learns why he joined in the first place, and unintentionally ends up becoming a sort of a big brother/mentor to him for the remainder of the competition.

📙📗 (Writing Drabble) An Encouraging Word

“People don’t take me seriously because they think I’m too young.” Hex grumpily said as he mashed away at the buttons of his game pad. His eyes narrowed at the flashing ships exploding on the screen. “They always say “I’ll never make it, or I won’t be able to contribute anything worth of value until I’m grown up.”

“I thought by joining this competition I might be able to prove them wrong—that I’m just as capable as they are, but even you guys don’t take me seriously. So then, what’s the point of trying anymore?”

Starline blinked in surprise at the rat’s words, suddenly realizing that this was because the group brushed him off the other day when they all got into thar ugly argument over workflow.

He in particular may have said something rather sharp to Hex in his irritation, even if it had been more to keep yet another voice from bombarding him with more info than he could deal with at the time.

Even so, it still had been detrimental to the kid. It was clear that Hex not being given a voice had been hurting the kid for a while now. He was purposefully limiting himself and staying silent because of how he knew the world and his family viewed him and his skills.

…And, Starline supposed he now did the exact same thing. The platypus huffed and frowned. Well, he certainly couldn’t let that stand.

“Hex, I can understand how that conversation may have come across to you.. I certainly said some things I regret in the heat of the moment.. but believe it or not, it’s not that we don’t take up seriously because of your age. Seriously. That’s what everyone’s so hung up about?”

He laughs and leans on the railing. “The absurdity. They simply don’t recognize genius when they see it.”

“Huh?” Hex’s attention is perked.

“Oh certainly. I’ve seen your work, and I can confidently say that I’ve never met a more talented coder and hacker than yourself. If anything, I’d say your age makes what you do even more impressive.”

Hex stops mashing his buttons, squinting in confusion before he stares at the platypus suspiciously. “Wait.. really?”

“Of course!” Starline flashes his trademark, confident smirk.

“You’re.. not just saying that to make me feel better?” Hex presses, not convinced.

“Perish the thought!” Starline exclaims with a dramatic flourish. “I acknowledge I haven’t been… the best at being open to hearing everyone’s ideas.. But your ability with hacking and coding is quite unique, unsurpassed by only a choice few. Anyone who thinks you’re too young to do anything worthwhile and dismisses what you have to offer for that, is either a fool, or just plain jealous of your natural prowess.”

He smiles. “Believe me, Hex. You have a bright future ahead of you.”

“Oh..” Hex flushes in embaressment, looking as if Starline has just opened his mind to a whole new world. The rat gives a small grin as he looks back at his game pad.

“Heh... well… thanks. You’re the first person to say that to me besides Lug. It.. means a lot.”

“Of course! Us geniuses have to stick together after all!”

Hex laughs. There’s a pause, then he pipes up again, seemingly more encouraged. “…Hey, do you think I could show you a personal project of mine sometime? I’d like it if you could check over my work and give me some tips.”

“Oh? Why I’d be delighted.“ Starline replies.

———————————————————————

And from that day on, Starline makes sure to try and let him be part of the planning and conversations going forward. It makes Hex happy.

While the intent of his speech was still very much to encourage Hex to not drop out of the competition, as it’d put them at a huge disadvantage— (Lug would leave with him)— most of WHAT Starline says to him is still shockingly genuine.

Starline sees true promise in Hex, and at times, the kid reminds him of himself. Once small and brilliant, but written off by those with power and authority. “Balderdash to that—” he scoffs with a snort. “Ignore the naysayers and prove them all wrong!” He tells Hex definitively.

(He probably also references a certain young yellow fox in there as extra encouragement, since Tails and Hex are of similar age and he knows Tails has quite a track record himself.)

Hex opens up to him after that conversation. Becomes a chatterbox, going on about complicated coding things and getting Starline’s input on builds since he now knows he’s one of the few older people who will take him seriously and be willing to discuss with him.

This does unfortunately make Lug a bit jealous, seeing as he was Hex’s best friend first and foremost, but he tries hard to not take it personally. “I’m just glad he has someone else to talk to.” He tells Rivet and Charge one day.
