I LOVE YOUR URL!!!

THANK YOUUUUU

The things you do might not ever be the light at the end of the tunnel for someone

But that doesn’t mean they’re not important

There’s a light.

A brief respite from the darkness.

I soak in the soft warm glow of the lamp.

I watch as a spider spins her web and catches the moth. It’s the cycle of life. The world keeps turning.

But for this moment, I’m safe and content. The darkness kept at bay.

I will have to continue eventually, but the next light will come. Then another, and another.

Like stepping stones across a raging torrent.

Even the faintest glimmer can provide the strength to keep going.

I’m so glad I’m here. Even if it’s hard, there are moments when it’s worth it. To keep kicking, to keep fighting, to Live. To Live!

“Live on!!” I cry, into the darkness. It might be unending, but it is not all there is, and I am not alone.

You are not alone.

We’re in this together.

17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 if you don’t mind 0w0< -Finny & Idol

WHEW this post got super long!!! tysm for the ask finny + idol we are SO autistic about prsk and had so much fun answering these 💚💚 -zelda

17. What songs would you like added to the game? Which units (if any) would you like to cover them?

we would LOVE to see a bocchi song covered by Leo/need, it would literally be so cool and fit so well!!! (link to a post w specific song matchups we made a while ago) aside from that:

- nee nee nee by pinocchiop covered by niigo (esp either mafuena or mizuena!!)

- sick sick sick by pinnochiop covered by saki

- ultimate senpai by pinocchiop covered by either WXS or mmj- I feel like it could apply really well to tsukasa or airi!!

- idol by yoasobi covered by mmj!!! it would be SO cool, as an idol song while being much more... intense? I guess is how I would put it? it would be awesome (+ kohane and an's va's covered it and they sound AMAZING!!!!)

- can't remember what it is in English (something hateful disdain maybe?) but this song would be SO so neat as a ruikasa cover. for real

- ai no uta/love song covered by mmj

- HONEYWORSK MMJ COVWR PLEASEEEE literally any song I can't think of the names right now but any of the idol ones would fit them so well

18. If you could pick any vocal synth to be added to the game, who would it be?

omg there are so many... we would love to see yukari, IA, Piko, Fukase, SF-A2 Miki, and flower added! even though we know it wouldn't happen, especially with some of the synth's company/rights stuff. I also think teto would be a super cool addition :)

we would super love to see yukari's different designs in different Sekais, she's one of our favorites and think she definitely has the range to fit into each Sekai perfectly <3

19. Favorite card(s)?

ok so we're going to do this as individual cards/not both trained and untrained, just one side, to make it easier to pick <3 also we numbered these but they aren't necessarily in order or anything

1) the resonating with you trained set!! we can't just pick one, they all go together so well and have such a lovely vibe to them!! the change in lighting/progression through the day, their outfits, how much fun they're having together, it's so good 💚

2) ok we're definitely biased because transmasc Mafuyu but this card is so pretty

3) Luka cherry blossoms!!! this is one of our absolute favorites, easily our favorite vocaloid card

4) yes we are doing another full Leo/need set we just love them so much and this set is so beautiful. the implications of moving on and train imagery honestly this whole event was AMAZING

5) WEDDING SHIZU!!!! this is one of our favorite costumes too shizuku is so so pretty

6) these cards are everything to us, probably our favorite mmj set- Minori focuses are always bangers and this one is no exception <3

7) get over it but specifically trained ichisaki + untrained ichi!!! the colors in this set are so good, they scratch our brain, and it just feels so funky and cute. plus we love any cards with multiple Leo/need members <3

8) re:tie friendship trained set!!!! yes another mmj set aksjajjd this is our 1st or 2nd favorite mmj sets, the lighting is gorgeous and it feels so... hopeful and emotional

(ok we hit image limit were going to add more in a rb)

20. Favorite costume(s)?

right now our favorite is shizuku's wedding costume!!! we think it looks good on Ichika + are saving to get it for Mafuyu.....

here are some of our other faves!!! Leo/need costumes go hard + idol costumes on mizuki are so so good!!!

21. Share a headcanon for your favorite character(s)!

OK Leo/need and vbs friendship is so important to me. I think they're best friends and go to each other's gigs and support each other. they have similar goals and are in adjacent music worlds so they hang out 💚 ichi shiho kohane Akito are the transmasc quad

project sekai ask game!

[ID: Digital art showing two arms tenderly clasping pinkies. One arm is in the colors of the trans pride flag: blue, pink, white, pink, and blue. The other is in the colors of a lesbian pride flag: Dark red, red, pale pink, white, purple, dark purple, and dark red-purple. End ID.]

lesbians love and support our trans sisters 💖💖

*edit 12/20/19: this post is made by a trans-inclusive nonbinary dyke to show that trans women are an important and well loved part of the lesbian community. this is not about “afab solidarity” or solidarity between trans men and lesbians or any other transphobic bs, as many terfs have tried to claim on this post. this is just a cute positive post for trans lesbians. this is also not a truscum/transmed friendly post. there is no transphobic gatekeeping welcome here.

**edit 5/22/22: this was literally made before the orange and pink lesbian flag was even created. check the timestamp it was posted before saying anything about the flag choice. it wasn’t me “choosing” to use the pink flag, it was that the pink flag was the mainstream lesbian flag in use at the time this art was created

Nona leant into her and said, “Thanks. I love you too, Camilla,” and: “Do you know who I am yet?”

Beyond the fact that this scene instantly came to mind — a parallel to the Rider-Waite tarot card with a figure merrily walking off a cliff, white dog trotting at their heels — when I thought of this card, Nona as a character works perfectly for The Fool.

On both literal and metaphorical levels, she is experiencing life for the first time. Her existence represents a new beginning for the series, with a new unanticipated book exploring new people and new stories.

Her innocence, however, sees her delve several times into the reversed meaning of the card: taking on tasks she can't fully comprehend, throwing eldritch tantrums, and making naïve mistakes and misunderstandings which drive the plot.

The jig was finally up. [...] “Nona,” said Palamedes [...] “that was very important information—information that changes everything—[…] and the type of information Camilla and I personally trusted you to prioritise.” This was too much to bear. “I’ve had things to think about,” Nona wailed. “I didn’t want to get in trouble.”

ID: A digital collage of "The Fool” tarot card as Nona from the Locked Tomb series. The design parallels the Rider-Waite Fool card. Nona, dressed in a yellow raincoat and respirator, is stepping off the edge of a cliff with Noodle at her heels. A destroyed city is in the background in tones of orange and purple, and Varun the Eater is a bright blue orb in the top right corner of the smoggy yellow sky. Nona’s outfit is from illustrations by Holly Hobbie, Lou Rogers, Howard Smith, and Henry Hintermeister. The cliff is from Brunhilde by Arthur Rackham. The city images are photos of 1940s Warsaw. Noodle is from a painting by Cecil Aldin, with some added legs. The left side of the card shows the upright meaning of The Fool and reads, “Beginnings | Innocence | Leap of Faith | Spontaneity | Idealism" in all caps. The right side of the card shows the reversed reading and reads "Chaos | Foolishness | Naïveté | Poor Judgment | Gullibility" in all caps. The base of the card reads "The Fool | Nona" in a groovy font.

no way Lan reposted this 😭

I mean I haven't even watched madoka magica or omniscient reader's viewpoint, they are my fandom-in-laws. but the way I got the meme-

😭 lan...

[ID: Image one is a quote-retweet. The original post is by venus ✿ IVAN SOLO and says "can we put these 3 in a room together" over official art of Homura from Madoka Magica, Lu Guang from Link Click, and Yoo Joonghyuk from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. cinnamon🍋 @/cinammie has retweeted this with art of the three characters doing the "Spider-Man pointing at himself" meme, and Studio Lan (澜) has reposted the meme redraw.

Image two is art showing Yoo Joonghyuk, Lu Guang, and Homura all crouching and holding their heads in despair, respectively captioned "his wife in coma," "his wife died," "her wife being god". End ID]

Thank you so much kallistoi for the ID!! I added the descriptions so it's more accessible (I guess? idk how the image description works for tumblr but it doesn't hurt to add it).

[ID: A poem written using fridge magnets, reading, (when one word is across multiple magnets, I put a - (dash) in between):

can we stay here a little long-er

linger-ing and kiss-ing like love-r-s

like raw meat I go bad quick

when all by my frantic self

how hard can it be to beg home

to be there with me fast-er!

& I know I know

I am a repulsive animal for how

my growl-ing belly howl-s and heave-s

with hungry voice-s

but I will never not long for you

and so I will always do the leash dirty

for how could I want to be by an-y-thing

but you

you

you

Born Archivist AU Wrap Up Post

Image ID below the cut. Art by @dcartcorner !

Series Summary:

Agnes Montague was a failure, the ritual poorly planned and even more poorly executed. But for the Ceaseless Watcher and the Avatars who have learned from this mistake--perhaps things could be different...

...Jonathan Sims, John as he prefers, is eleven years old when Mr. Bouchard comes to see him.

A massive thank you to you all. For reading, especially for commenting, and for all the support in getting this over the finish line.

If you're interested in reading or seeing more art, please check out the links below the cut. You do need an Archive account to read!

My ask box is open, I'd love to chat theories, questions, and thoughts anytime! Please don't be shy!

What to Know:

Child of Illumination is a fic series with three primary story arcs that follows John Sims from age eleven to his time as Head Archivist of Magnus Institute after being adopted by Elias Bouchard and Peter Lukas.

All three main arcs are rated T and suitable for those who can enjoy the same sort of content as in the podcasts. CW's are provided on individual chapters.

The Main Story:

Part One: Child of Illumination:

Agnes Montague was a failure, the ritual poorly planned and even more poorly executed. But for the Ceaseless Watcher and the Avatars who have learned from this mistake--perhaps things could be different...

...Jonathan Sims, John as he prefers, is eleven years old when Mr. Bouchard comes to see him.

Part Two: Shadow in the Hunting Grounds

Agnes Montague was a failure, the ritual poorly planned and even more poorly executed. But for the Ceaseless Watcher and the Avatars who have learned from this mistake--perhaps things could be different.

Jonathan Sims, John as he prefers, has lived with fathers for six years. Like for a lot of other young people, University presents a time for self-exploration, and a first occasion of being out on his own without someone...Watching quite so closely.

Image ID at the end. Art by @sarcasticscribbles!

Part Three: Blood of the Covenant

Agnes Montague was a failure, the ritual poorly planned and even more poorly executed. But for the Ceaseless Watcher and the Avatars who have learned from this mistake--perhaps things could be different.

Jonathan Sims, John as he prefers, has spent three years working as a Lead Researcher at the Magnus Institute. For someone for whom home has had a less than solid definition, the Institute offers a chance for safe place for John to finally answer the questions that have followed him for as long as he can recall.

Being able to work alongside his father is simply an added bonus, of course.

Art:

COI wouldn't be what it is without the amazing artists who have brought it to life!

Official Scene and Summary art is by @dcartcorner who does exceptional work across the board.

Official Covers for all three main stories are by @sarcasticscribbles who's art is one of the reasons I started to engaged in fandom at all!

Official additional art of some choice scenes as done beautiful by @mxwhore who I cant thank enough for their amazing work!

Other creators who have made art related to COI include @obscuravoid, @the-awful-dread-that-leaves, @novae-viking, @basilikum7, @hemi-demi, and @moominmammaonhero1n!

Please, go and show them some love! I will post an Art-chive into the series on A03 as well to link back directly to all of the amazing work that's been made! If you've made something and don't see your name here, please let me know!

Additional Content:

Part of the fun of the series are the additional side fics. They cover a range of topics from John's interactions with various people, time spent with Peter and Elias, and the horror content that makes TMA what it is. There are all flavors, from G to E, and all can be found at the hyperlink above.

These are NOT necessary to understand the story and do NOT contain critical plot points. They're simply for fun! .

A special shoutout to @selinko for a lovely set of memes that absolutely made my day and continue to do so!

FAQ's:

The following are just some things that have come into my inbox the last couple of days in particular!

Can I make fanart of this story?

Sure! Please tag me, I'd love to see and spread the love!

Can I make other fanworks of this story?

Sure! Same as above, please tag me. I'd love to see and spread the love!

Will you be writing more?

I may do additional side pieces, but the main story is happily done. I have a total of 105 fanfics, 104 of which are Magnus if you're interested!

Can I send you questions/thoughts/songs/things that made me think about the story?

Yes, my ask box is open and there is an anonymous option. I will delete rude asks, but otherwise am happy to answer. Any spoilers, I'll put below a bar.

Image IDs:

Cover Art: A painting showing John Sims at the center, playing chess with an unknown opponent. On either side above him are Elias Bouchard, surrounded by books, and Peter Lukas, holding a stack of playing cards. Together, they hold a crown of gold and green eyes over John's head, framed by a spider-web window. At John's feet are three animals--a lion, a cobra, and penguin, looking up from a base of fire that shows Agnes Montague, Tim Stoker, Martin Blackwood, and Sasha James respectively. 

First Cover: Cover Art of John giving a statement to Gertrude the portrait. He is 11-13 years old, wearing square glasses and talking to her as if she is an old friend.  

Second Cover: A family style portrait of Elias Bouchard (aged around 40), John Sims (aged seventeen to eighteen), and Peter Lukas (aged around 50) years old. 

Third Cover: John Sims and Peter Lukas are playing a round of cards. John is debating whether or not to be on this hand with chin resting in his hand. Peter is holding a 2 of diamonds and a 7 of clubs, considered the worst draw in Texas Hold 'Em. Elias Bouchard, with a faint green light around his eyes, watches from behind John's shoulder, the whole viewed over by a Portrait of Jonah Magnus with the same faint green light. 

Thank You!

Thank you all again for letting me share this story and journey with you. After one year and nineteen days of writing, I am very happy and rather proud to say the series is complete. It's my longest fanworks project by a mile and wouldn't have been possible without all of your lovely support.

With all the love in the world, Sieve signing off.

omg omg you're writing for spencer and bucky now!!

i love reading and im crazy reading, like having reactions out loud (can't control it, gasping, laughing, indignation, anger, love etc) so id love to see something with spencer around that topic with bookworm reader

thank you sm💕

hii angel!! yes yes!! been wanting to for a while and finally decided to do it. love it love it. thank you for requesting, hope you like it💌

BOOKWORMS.

spencer reid x fem!reader

word count. 507

You and Spencer shared many common interests, the main being your love for reading. Of course, he was better at it than you, but you liked to think you got more enjoyment from the hobby. While Spencer could read more in a minute than you could in an hour, you preferred to take your time - growing immersed in the story, letting imagery paint the scene like that of watching a movie.  

When reading, you were consistently engaged in the tale, fingers clutching at the next page in anticipation, eyes eagerly skimming over the lines as the words came to life in your brain. You knew everyone had a different experience while reading, but sometimes, the contrast between you and Spencer was blinding.

You were staying at your boyfriend's for a few nights, so when you packed, you added your current book - the one you were reading and could never seem to put down. You knew you'd want it while staying at Spencer's apartment, so you were keen to make sure it was the first thing in your bag.

Spencer was sat in the armchair by the window - his ankle crossed over his knee as he read -skimmed- through his book, fingers brushing over the paper as a marker for his fast pace. You were lying on his sofa, back to the cushions, head propped up by a pillow as your hands held your book close to your face - elbows resting at your sides.

You were enjoying each other's company while silently doing your own things, both reading within the comfort of one another. Though, every now and then, you'd meet each other's eye line over the spines of your books, sending an earnest smile the other way before turning back to the words on the page. 

But this time was different. When you went back to reading, Spencer didn't. He kept his gaze on you - peeking over at you over the top of his book. 

He watched how you reacted, keeping a mental image of the sweet expressions on your face - how your eyes widened at the words, the way your lips part, like that when you reach a plot twist. He admired you as such, seeing you so entrapped with every flick of the page, feet fidgeting as if you were growing impatient with the speed of your own reading. 

You were so engrossed and used to reading by yourself that you forgot you were in another person's presence, so when you let out a giggle, you thought nothing of it. Until you heard a soft chuckle from the other side of the room, immediately reminding you weren't alone.

"Sorry, sorry," you apologise, bashfully smiling at him. "I'll keep it down."

"No, don't. I like it," Spencer returns a smile, keeping his eyes on you when you divert your attention back to the page. 

He knew he had met his match when he saw your collection of books, but being around you while you read had definitely trumped that.
