One of my earliest face claim's for Kyurem's human form was Raven from Elsword! Particularly his Blade Master tree for base form Kyurem!

As you can see I still draw HEAVY influences on his character and design, even when I made the transfer to use Gilbert Nightray from Pandora Hearts as his FC (thanks Cherabby). The scars along his face and body, general attire and body build and demeanor, revenge/rage driven before major character development, fucked up arm/leg, fucked up technological experimentation, fucked up identity crisis, fucked up from being an antagonistic force against his will, fucked up from having his loved ones killed in front of him because he failed to protect them...

His other trees were perfect for Kyurem's Absofusion forms too!

His Reckless Fist tree for White Kyurem.

His Veteran Commander tree for Black Kyurem.

...And fuck dude, I stopped playing a million years ago so this class is new to me, but I absolutely would've used this cool ass looking Mutant Reaper tree for the theoretical 'Complete' fusion Kyurem. (But it's okay, my boy Estinien Wyrmblood is still happily taking up that role.)

Unfortunately I still don't have solid FC ideas for the Black/White forms as of writing this, but who knows, maybe I'll dust off my Raven icon folder in the mean time until I do!

feliz año nuevo!!!

goldami are chilling in cami's bedroom! she doesn't like the sound or lights of fireworks so she has her noise cancelling headphones on and the curtains are in place. the lights in the room are also dim becasue cami doesn't like bright lights in general. and they're watching a movie! golden likes to make comments while watching films but cami usually gets so engrossed in them she can't even hear what they say. golden doesn't mind, though. they're having fun :3

Hiii i hope you're feeling better soon :(( I was wondering if I could request a Dazai x reader fic where the reader has PTSD? Specifically, the beginning of autumn kind of triggers her (sorry if it's a confusing i dunno how to word it lol) Could it be fluff/comfort? Btw I love your writing style so badly so pls tweak the idea if you think it would work better! And no worries if you'd rather pass :33

hii angel i genuinely am sorry that this took me a while! (work and life happened a little more than usual, GOT SICK and barely had time to sit down and write.) it was so ivover but i am fine now thank u so much bub!

i REALLY hope you like this and that it's what u wanted, i've never written someone w PTSD before and i was just rlly hoping i didn't mess this characterization up for ur request ahhh. i had such a nice time writing it and i rlly wanted to explore the impact it could have around reader and dazai and him going out of his way even if it could be a little goofy and sappy to make u feel at least a little better even if u can't talk abt it.

i love uuuu thank u again! <3

~ a little something about Dazai noticing harmful patterns and loving you through them ~

He's been watching you sit by the window for the past half hour as you stare at what seems like the beginning of the new season outside. You were quieter than usual, more withdrawn and jumpy, which could only mean that you weren't sharing something with him- or rather having trouble processing something to the point where you didn't realize he could tell something inside you was on high alert.

Dazai would rather die than see you in such a state, especially during what's supposed to be such an exciting time of the year that's full of the things you usually love to do. Whatever is impeding you from enjoying the leaves falling has to be dealt with the most delicate of methods, but especially with love. If you taught him anything about the past haunting you to the point of mental distress, something he suffered bouts of every now and then when memories made days grow dark, it's that all you need is one person to truly witness you. Just like how you've seen the ugliest parts of him time and time again yet you still look at him with all the stars in the sky, stars he consumes like a black hole waiting to be filled.

Luckily for you, he has an arsenal of things he can try to soothe you with, because he wouldn't be a good detective AND boyfriend if he didn't keep all those context clues in his pocket for a bad day. Mainly though, he was just completely attuned to your every need. You are his happiness, and your wellness isn't up for debate: It's mandatory. He stands up from the loveseat with a deep exhale as he walks over to you, his lips curled in a lazy smile as he tests the waters to see what you could need from him without asking.

"You know, if you stay any more still I could probably paint you like one of those fancy paintings. What do you say, be my model?"

You look over at him from the window, and he can visibly tell you haven't been at ease lately. He suddenly realizes he's just fallen even more in love with you. That there is nothing in this world that could ever let him see you as anything but his heart.

You murmur, a faint smile decorating your serene face.

"Mm, I'm not sure. I don't think I could pose for that long, you know? It would probably be hard to catch my likeness, heh."

He clicks his tongue and rolls his eyes with a playful smirk. Oh how he wants to lean in and worship your likeness with his loving touch, but he decides to take it easy on the physical affection for now, not until he knows you're feeling up for it. He can be a good boy, something he usually isn't.

"Well, I wouldn't mind being the brave young knight who tries~ Shall we take this outside for better lighting?"

You instantly don't give him a good reaction to that. You shrug, seeming conflicted and unsure of yourself, but unable to really bring yourself to explain with words, something uncharacteristic of you.

No problem! Dazai thinks to himself. If you don't want to go outside, he can bring outside to you in the comfort of home. He'll enhance your safe space, and tailor it to just what you need. He hums, tapping his temple in an exaggerated manner as if he were thinking really hard and when he sees that it gets a small giggle out of you, he knows he's on the right track.

"Hm, I know what we should do instead. Wait here, angel.~"

He disappears into the hallway and you sit there as the sound of cabinets opening and rummaging around fills the air. You smile to yourself, and shake your head at the mental image of Dazai becoming a tornado to find whatever he's looking for right now, hoping he doesn't make too much of a mess. You fidget with your hair, twirling it in between your fingers as you take a deep grounding breath while you wait.

A moment later, he comes back with what seems like art supplies and a ton of mini candlesticks.

He knows you're intrigued when you tilt your head in confusion, but then again that's probably just the confusion... Dazai sets down two canvases along with the candles, flashing you a mischievous grin. If you couldn't process your feelings through words, art was always there! You look over the activities he's laid out for you both, awaiting his silver tongued explanation.

"You know when I want to be the little spoon but I don't say anything?"

You laugh softly, and nod.

"Mhm, you get all moody and weird."

He nods back, a half smile on his face as he rests his hands on his hips. He wants to tell you that the only reason he even knew such intimate luxuries is because you showed him that he's worthy of it, of being loved, but he doesn't say anything. He lets the sweet memories between you swim through his mind as fuel for the day he's trying to create for you. His voice sounds more like he's talking out loud now, lost in a thought..

"You make me moody and weird. You also make me want to grab your soft little face and just..."

He then snaps back to the moment, and his tone picks up.

"... But alas, there is no time to waste! Come, sit, I'll get the other things ready.~"

He zooms off to the kitchen, and your heart softens at how much he fusses over you, though you also hope you aren't being too much. You know he'd hate to hear that, so you simply sit down and look over the supplies you had honestly forgotten you had.

Dazai makes tea, because he knows it helps with your fidgeting and you like how the mug feels in your hands, he also begins to set the candle sticks all over the living room, lighting them one by one. You flash him a look of faint concern.

"Feels like Dracula's castle. You sure this is safe, Osamu?"

He simply grins impishly.

"It's called 'mood lighting', cutie. There is an atmosphere to be created!"

"Yeah, and possibly a wildfire."

"Boo, you're no fun. Besides, that sounds like a problem for future us. We live in the moment."

Dazai would never risk your safety and you know that, which is why you don't push the topic any further.

You two settle in, the candles illuminating you both with a warm flame that feels more comforting than you'd like to admit, you feel yourself becoming more immersed in the random little doodles and brush strokes you create as you both talk for hours about literally nothing while sipping on your tea. Nothing feels nice, for once and Dazai can see it in the way you slowly become less and less tense. So mindful, so beautiful.

After you fill your canvas, you set it down, and peer over at Dazai's.

"What'd you paint?"

He smiles sheepishly, and hides his.

"Not finished yet. No peeking!"

He stands up and in one swift motion, runs outside, while leaving you bewildered at the spontaneity of the situation. A few moments later, he runs back inside, huffing with his arms behind his back. He sits back down on the floor with you, criss crossed. He grabs his canvas, and puts something on it as he slowly unveils his work to you.

It's a single crisp leaf he must have plucked from the grass when it fell, the orange and reddish hue placed on the canvas that shows a cartoonishly painted tree as well. He murmurs, eyes trained lovingly on you but with that familiar playful tone.

"I wanted you to get a little air. It's good for one's mood, you know."

You slowly take the leaf, and twiddle it in your thumb as you begin to smile to yourself. You mutter back.

"The weather changes, moods change, it's so overwhelming sometimes..."

He slowly leans in a little closer and places a hand on the small of your back, inching you closer to him too. He wants to distract you from those thoughts affecting you, but it's getting harder when all he can think about is how much you affect him. He whispers.

"My mood never changes, you're the most precious thing I have ever seen all year round."

You look up at him, your eyes communicating what you feel, and he picks up on it with a silent confirmation. You hold each other's gaze for a long quiet moment and when you feel ready you lean into his chest, nuzzling into him. He envelops you in a hug that feels like the remedy you've been searching for this whole time, and it almost brings you to tears. You don't know it also does the same to him. He gives you a soft squeeze and leans down to your ear, his warm breath feeling like the way life is supposed to feel. You mumble, your voice slightly muffled against him.

"Thank you, Osamu. Love you."

He smiles at that. To be something so soothing to you, to be of use for once in his life, it's a feeling that he could never describe. He'll have to find the words when he covers you in kisses from head to toe later, when he makes sure you feel the full extent of his devotion to you through thick and thin. He exhales deeply.

"Change of season, change of mind... It doesn't matter to me. It's still you. It will always be you."

toji hating his life the moment he has to take his daughter to her first ballet class because he could be at home and instead he’s freezing his ass 30 minutes away from home but his grumpiness is gone the moment he sees you, his daughter’s ballet teacher. like a dumb dog just staring at a bone and he stays like that for a hour and a half until you just go to him like “oh you must be mr. fushiguro!!! your daughter is lovely <3” while he’s silently trying to guess the size of your ring finger

this post is a little more personal but i wanted to extend my thanks for 100 followers and all my mutuals :) i honestly can’t believe ive already met and talked to so many awesome, kind, and talented folks in this fandom since joining in august. i was initially quite nervous when posting all we got because i wasn’t sure id gotten gale and john yet, but all the positive feedback when i posted (and still continue to get today, bless you all) meant and means so so much to me. i went through so many full circle moments where my idols id always lurked around (atp they probably know who they are, rock on) engaging with my stuff and fb?? i almost lost it, sorta didn’t even know that was possible..? lol. but i really love being a part of this fandom space (as i usually either joined very late or smaller fandoms) and im having a blast!! ALSOO very big shout out to @skyphloxx for taking a shot in the dark and interacting with my post (all those years ago…) when i was first joining, and especially for betaing all we got!! could not have been finished without him im being so fr best beta/cheerleader/moot EVER <3 everyone’s made me feel so welcome and & i love reading what everyone has to say (everyone’s so gosh darn cool and interesting and god have i mentioned how much i love tumblr?) so just thank you 😭🩷 i really do like it around here.

Devotion / trust

[camels-pen]

The ask game reminded me that I’ve been meaning to bother you about the soul marks in a gift (not a burden)!!! I wanna know about the importance of the placement of the soul marks and any other details you wanna share pls n thank yooooou muah muah <3

YES YES YES THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!! (fic in question)

OKAY SO soulmarks, very funny little things that i put some thought into for these guys

Sanji:

Soulmark on his wrist, big enough to cover his inner wrist and peak out under a normal shirt cuff.

Easily shown off- both in placement and how Sanji makes sure to roll up his cuffs enough to always display it. Very 'heart on his sleeve' type of soulmark.

It's also centred around his pulse point, which is meant to represent signs of life, i.e., Usopp being one of the reasons Sanji wants to live, a discouragement from self-sacrifice, and overall encouraging a love of life. A reminder, you could say, to weather the storm of Things that Keep Happening to Him and make it through to his shining light in the deep, hopeless night. No i'm not thinking of whole cake, why would you say that-

Conversely, despite how he makes it seem so easy, he could also hide his mark with the same effort- maybe less- but he never does. At first, Sanji just wanted so badly to find his soulmate, but after being with Usopp he still doesn't do it.

I like thinking of it like Sanji thinking he could stealth as a straight man if he tried. Maybe he does or maybe he doesn't, even when it would make things easier for him. In a way, his mark is also about trust: trusting his life (breathing, not being shot in the back) vs his life (perception, image), one being easier than the other, but the mark on his wrist being proof that he was capable of both.

Usopp:

Soulmark directly above heart, tiny. About 1cm and hard to pick out details.

Must be shown off intentionally, cannot be casually/accidentally shown off unless going shirtless. More of a 'close to the chest' type of soulmark (heh).

Very accurately placed in the centre of the heart, which is meant to represent understanding emotions and deep connection, i.e, Sanji being good for helping Usopp sort through his emotions, understanding but not feeding into his fears and insecurities, and the intensity to which Usopp would/had/did become close with him.

This is one of those "very very rare placements", the kind you'd hear about in books and stories to show off some kind of perfect fairy tale love story. Partially have it like that bc Sanji loveddd seeing himself as some lucky lady's white knight, but also because he does end up as Usopp's white knight every so often kdjhfgd. The exaggeration in fiction doesn't help with Usopp's "this soulmate shit is bs" thing he had going on most of his life lol.

Mentioned in the fic, but he also shares soulmark placement with his mom! He didn't know what it meant as a kid, but seeing how his mom fared and his dad never making it home for the funeral, he didn't think it meant anything good.

with the year coming to an end chat id just like to take a second to thank you all for making the last 3 months so fun and honestly the best 3 months ive had in a while. this is probably the most involved ive been in a fandom since 2020-21 and im so happy i get to interact and talk and scream with you all. thanks for all the love and support on my fics, i know i dont post very frequently and im not even halfway thru fulfilling the requests you all made for my event and overall ive had a lot of shortcomings but thank you for being so patient with me. i promise ill try my hardest to work on myself and my issues so i can write more! i dont want this to be too long but truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you 🫶

“You ever think about getting married?” Hardwon says to Moonshine as they sit by a bonfire at the Crick one night. To me? he doesn’t say. “Aw, yeah,” she replies. To you, she doesn’t. She stares off into the fire and listens to the last few Petris stumble off to their stumps.

[tojisun]

“are you alright?” no. mentally i’m still stuck here

[cloudcastor]

I had a minor surgery/procedure today I was super nervous about but everything went well!!! everyone was so attentive and nice, it made the experience an absolute breeze and I felt really comfortable and reassured ;;_;; couldn't ask for a better care team!!!

just got a couple days of healing ahead but super blown away...just had to share it out into the world!!! the care team even wrote me a handwritten note and added it in to my stuff ;;_;;

there has been A LOT of personal stuff going on the last couple months but finally getting to chip away at stuff, and getting medical providers that are helping eith the burden... I'm extremely lucky and thankful to have that experience !!!! can’t wait to get back to art…. can’t wait to hopefully feel some kind of relief soon!
