❥⼺ still wakes the drowned god

⸻ summary: Your life as the Witch of the Abyssal Rift is turned upside down when the Kraken God awakens from his cursed slumber deep within the Abyssal Trench and seeks you out with one simple request: "Come to me."

The subsequent seduction and beckoning that follow will either lead you into a trap, or bind you in a deal you can't back out of. But it's too late now. You're already a reef fish curling into the silk of an anemone, thinking it found a bed, not teeth.

⸻ warnings: dream sex (consent is there but i will still add dubious consent just in case), ritual sex, tentacle sex (consentacles), he is AN OCTOPUS WAIST DOWN, freak shit, monsterfucking i guess, badly depicted witchcraft and deity work im so sorry if any witch or pagan reads this pls it's fictional 😭

⸻ before you read: this is based on the 4-star fragrant dream card and that one line in forgotten sea about lemurians turning into monsters without light. you don't have to read fragrant dream to understand this, though. the rafayel depicted here is also the sea god rafayel in his myth(s) and not current canon rafayel, so he might read differently. I took liberties with the sea cursing them both, so it's technically alternate universe canon divergence. the majority of this was written before tears of romirro dropped, so any similarities (such as rafayel being chained in the trench 😭) are NOT intentional. seriously, check my blog.

also, i would like you to shut your brain off if you're somehow knowledgable about the ocean and sea animals and ecology in any way shape or form. magical kelp grows where i say it grows and fantasy animals exist at which depth i deem they can exist. this is a tentacle monsterfucking fic don't look to me for scientific accuracy. if i see one person go "an anglerfish can't go that deep" i will delete my entire blog. thank you.

⸻ author's note: this fic absolutely DEVOURED my life to the point i went mia on my own blog. i damn near lost my mind writing it like this is my first time prewriting and publishing a work this long.

because of this, you will find the entirety of the work chapter by chapter on ao3, published at the same time. i really can't be bothered with posting them here one by one because the interaction drops dramatically and only the chapter(s) with smut get traction. so. boom. get cozy, get some snacks. or don't and pace yourself and finish it slowly, but i hope you enjoy!

please please let me know what you thought! i dont know when this'll go live and if it'll come out around his new myth but happy late mermay i guess LMAOOOOOOO (note to myself: yes this is dropping after the myth. look up at the fuckass banner you had to make so rafayel's tits wouldnt get sent to superhell by tumblr.) divider modified from here.

imma get real i followed this blog only a few days after Rump’s inauguration and it’s provided me so much encouragement. There’s been a few times where i’ve thought about doing some bad things to myself and those around me but this blog is one of the reasons that I try to stay calm. it’s so much easier when there’s just a number, slowly ticking down, but ticking down nonetheless. thank you

Thank you so so so much for reminding me why I’m doing this.

As long as we’re getting real, the last time they were in office, the days following the inauguration were when we lost a lot of family. People would make final posts on their tumblr, or twitter, or anything else, saying goodbye, and then that was it. I haven’t forgotten how that felt.

And if this blog prevents even just you from making your own post saying goodbye for the next 1,301 days, then I’ll consider it a job well done.

Stay alive. Stay well. Stay safe. We will get through this together.

the true ending (11/11)

do the court's weather have clean divides between them/strict lines? like, is the weather starkly, magically different between courts or would it be more of a gradual change between them as you were traveling? (btw i loved the glossary so much... that kinda thing is my absolute jam, hehe!! wonderful writing!!!)

it's a gradual shift! as you get closer to a border, you'll start to notice the foliage and sky shifting to whatever region you're walking towards.

for example, if you're starting off in summer and walking towards autumn, you'll slowly start seeing more and more orange leaves on trees and the sun will appear to be setting. it won't be until you've crossed the border and walked a ways that you'll see Autumn in all its glory (twilight sky, fallen leaves, etc), and if you were to walk back you'd see the same shift in reverse!

it's not a perfect gradient all along the border, either; different sections shift slower or faster, but in general it's never an obvious, stark difference that you can point to.

this can actually make travelling right along the border a little risky, since you can cross it without realizing and start getting sick if you don't have the proper protections for going into the opposing realm.

I'm struggling financially and can no longer deny that I need to look for income in every avenue I have access to.

Any insights would be really helpful.

If you have some spare coin, I do have a Ko-Fi that I created for my original work (WIP for now). But my main priority is getting some insights into what type of work people would want from me.

Please vote if you can!

as much as i prefer larger episode counts, because they allow time for character growth and other fun interactions, i really think sonic prime would've benefited from a 12-14 episode count. 24 was just too many for the story they decided to tell, and left a lot of room for repetitive fights and padding.

but at the same time, i can easily see the 24 count being utilized better? like, it didn't HAVE to feel like filler.

there's so much left unexplored about the shatterworlds that they could've filled that time with but just didn't. new yoke is the most fleshed out, but boscage and no place have basically no history to speak of. maybe if they'd delved into it a little more, we as the audience would've cared more when they were being destroyed by nine's hubris.

similarly, i don't think the worlds were populated enough. i understand that 3d models are expensive, but reusing the same 2 background characters and offering no more civilian characters makes the worlds feel very small. such is the cost of the medium...

overall i do think "part 3" was better than "part 2". this batch of episodes had way more frequent and enjoyable character interactions than the last batch, which is always a good thing. it made the fights feel less tiresome, if nothing else.

the ending is clearly sequel bait, but ignoring that, it feels very... sonic 2006? funnily enough. it's unclear whether shadow remembers what happened or not, but sonic being the sole remember-er is very reminiscent of the 06 timeline being rewritten. idk. i always expected the status quo to be restored, but i can't help but wish there was at least a whisper, or maybe a post credits scene, implying that what happened during the show... mattered at all?

cuz we can ASSUME the other shatterspaces retained the events of the show, but we can also assume they didn't, and were reset back to before the prism was broken, just like green hill.

there was also some missed opportunity with a sonic prism form. i was SO sure they were going to go all the way with that, after having a pseudo form in "part 2," so when it didn't happen i was left feeling disappointed. but hey, there's always next time, right?

as some ending notes i think the music slayed and the sound effects slayed and the animation and voice acting and quips all slayed. like despite my problems with it it was still enjoyable to watch. and i love love love that sonic had a complete character arc... it was a breath of fresh air. ok. ciao <3

it has come to my attention some of you might not truly understand my sandwich qualifications and why I've been calling them "shitty turkey sandwiches" when they're a perfectly normal quick sandwich of cheap white bread, american cheese, turkey lunch meat, and mayo.

behold 6 sandwiches I have made

my normal effort sandwich includes: cheddar cheese, at least one meat (or eggs), (usually) pickles, lettuce, tomato with salt and pepper, mayo, garlic and onion powder, and sometimes dijon mustard. the bread is not always toasted, but for a Good sandwich I dry toast one side in a skillet. a quick sandwich in my mind is cheddar and tomato or cheddar and lunch meat, but never american. my high effort sandwiches get wrapped in wax paper and sit a little bit so i get away from the Sandwich Making Smells and like them even more.

the first sandwich has a whole ass omelette with caramelized onions and garlic and bell peppers. it's on toasted garlic cheese bread. it has roast beef, mayo, yellow mustard, cheddar, the omelette, and tomato with salt and pepper. i still dream about this sandwich. the third sandwich is on sourdough i made myself.

so, comparatively, i am eating very shitty turkey sandwiches.

[cyanbeetle]

I’m going to move to a new blog for my art so I have somewhere fresh where I can post a wider variety of stuff. If you like my art, you can find it at @biiistre from now on :) thanks for the support

[anotherpapercut]

I love when I'm talking to someone and someone else who I don't know like that butts in to ask a really personal question that informs the conversation they are not a part of

[statisticalcats2]

These posts are actually hilarious even to me because the reason my mind is so busy right now is because I'm feeling obsessed over the absolutely feral creechurs the aliens/inter-dimensional beings/whatever are in the movie I'm watching

Ibtisam Al-Habil is a single mother of 6 children who is facing multiple crises. In 2014, her husband was killed by the occupation during its assault. She and her oldest son Omar found work to support their family.

They were doing well until the occupation’s 2023 invasion. Their home was destroyed, along with their entire neighborhood. Ibtisam lost her job and her children lost their education. They were displaced to multiple shelters, at one point narrowly surviving an IOF bomb attack on a school.

Ibtisam’s daughter Nour suffers from Congenital Heart Disease, a serious medical condition which has left her immunocompromised, and she requires frequent hospital visits. Receiving the care Nour needs to survive has become ever more difficult, dangerous, and expensive. Further, centers are overcrowded, and the IOF’s sabotage of Gaza’s water and waste treatment systems have made them into centers of disease transmission. For Nour, this could be deadly. She is frequently sick now, compounding her prior condition.

Ibtisam’s oldest son Omar, a nurse who recently married and was expecting a baby with his wife Bashaer, was helping support the family however he could. Tragically, Omar was martyred by occupation bombing several months ago while looking for firewood. His younger brother was seriously injured in the same attack. Omar never got to meet his baby girl.

Ibtisam’s family is now completely without income, displaced, and constantly running for their lives. Nour remains ill, and finding the medical care she needs gets harder every day.

Originally Ibtisam was raising funds to evacuate her family to Egypt. This is probably still the plan for the future, but for right now, Ibtisam and her family desperately need funds to survive. Donations will be used to procure food, water, medical care, and shelter for the foreseeable future.

This family has suffered so terribly already. Please help give them a little hope for the future. Please reblog this post, boost Ibtisam’s posts on her blog, and repost the campaign link across all your social media.

Thank you
