hiii im working through all your jaytim week stuff bc i had to be in a wedding that week and i missed it 😭 i WILL leave an annoying amount of comments on ao3 but for now i just wanna say that i love the baseball au fic so bad. i don’t know a single thing about sports but i worked a summer job at the ballpark for a couple years and now whenever the weather gets hot i miss the vibes so bad and i CANNOT stop thinking about Them. do you have any more thoughts or rants or really just any crumbs from this au bc it’s delicious ty

AAHHH OMG I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE WEDDING and you have said the magic words because BOY DO I

I love baseball au!! I am actually very pleased with and proud of baseball au!! In my heart, baseball au has a massive rivals-to-lovers slow burn plot that I simply did not have the time to write OTL so instead for jaytim week, we got the scene that I would have reread over and over again if it had been a book I read in high school lmao

My notes this is a fucking outline how did that happen on baseball au:

Jason was the ace pitcher for the Gotham Knights for a few years running, taking over that mantle from Dick Grayson after he traded to the Bludhaven team. Jason was much more aggressive compared to Dick, and he was a two-way player - he could hit well enough to not need a designated hitter when it was his turn to go to bat, and that versatility made him unpredictable and a threat.

Unfortunately, after a big argument with Bruce about the game, he was hit with a hard injury during the playoffs one year. Everyone said it would be career ending. Bruce said to prepare himself for the worst. Jason takes a year off to recover and doesn't speak to Bruce the whole fucking time.

Enter Tim Drake.

Drake is a rookie, a nobody no one's ever heard of, but he's an excellent pitcher. He's got a million tricks and keeps a cool head. He can read the other team to filth and is ready to change tactics at the drop of a hat.

Word is that he bullied his way into the GM's office and demanded a tryout; Bruce was gonna throw him out. But then he saw him pitch. He was hired on the spot.

They started Drake as a relief pitcher, but it quickly became apparent that he was wasted there. He's switched to starter. They don't make it all the way to the Series that year, but it was pretty fucking close and in large part due to Drake. Not bad for a rookie.

Jason hates him on principle.

Apparently, Jason still has a spot on the team. But they've bumped him down from starter to relief. He knows it's necessary, that his injury still needs babying, but he's still not happy with Bruce. He hates it-- and the games he's relieving for Drake? He hates them most of all. He can't stand the guy.

(He's better than Jason.)

(And he won't quit staring.)

Drake doesn't actively antagonize Jason when training starts. Actually, for the most part, he tries to stay out of Jason's way, watching him quietly from the sidelines while Jason tests his frustrating new limits. But Jason's not about to let Bruce's new golden boy off that easy.

(He's almost surprised by the bite hiding behind those bangs. How fast those watching eyes can narrow in acidic consideration before he tears Jason a new one. He takes vicious satisfaction in seeing Drake sink down to Jason's level. And Drake needs a fucking haircut, but far be it from Jason to give this asshole tips.)

Their synergy is garbage in the first half of the season. Jason prides himself in his game, but when they're sharing the pitch, it throws everything out of whack. They butt heads over everything, and they get hyper competitive; half the time, they're not playing against the other team, they're playing against each other.

By the third game its plain they can't be paired together. Either Drake or Jason fuck up on the mound because one of them was doing something (For Jason, Drake's creepy, unblinking stare is enough to piss Jason off; for Drake, Jason's discovered he can get a rise out of him just by raising an eyebrow at the right time, as if to say really? That's what you're going with?) and the coaches (Babs) have just about had it with them.

They're switched to play on different days when possible, and given stern looks and reminders not to fuck up on the days they have to play together. It grinds Jason's gears, but he sucks it up because he's a fucking adult and his career is on the line. Maybe Drake can do the same.

Things start to change, though Jason can never quite remember when. Maybe they needed the space or whatever, maybe Jason needed to go drinking with Roy and just dump about Drake and Bruce and all of it and hear Roy's drunken two cents, maybe the game against Bludhaven meant seeing Dick and being forced to hear his two cents; maybe he needed to run into Drake at the coffeeshop a block away from the stadium one morning and see him bleary-eyed and clearly hungover. Maybe seeing him outside of the job, his gaze wandering out the window and not fixed on Jason for once, willing to shit-talk Bruce (and to a lesser degree, Dick), shifted something in Jason's brain a little to the left. Maybe it made Drake into a different person, and maybe Tim is someone Jason doesn't actually know that much about. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

They start to improve. They have to play more games together when one of their alts wrecks his ankle, but Jason is still pretty fresh compared to everyone else after being babied all season, and his injury hardly bothers him these days. Tim still flusters Jason at the mound sometimes, but it's not for the same reason. He doesn't know what the reason is yet, but he knows it's not the same. The prickle on the back of his neck that says Tim is watching isn't a precursor to anger, or spite. It's something else.

(And so what if Jason finds himself sticking around after practice days? So what if Tim catches him once, working on his swing, and he offers to pitch for him? So what if Jason suddenly knows he wants to find out how that crooked smile tastes, and threatens to break his bat on it instead? So what if Tim laughs at him like he was joking, because they joke now, and it makes Jason's stomach churn, makes him sick with wanting? So fucking what?)

Bruce even talks to him after a game, all fatherly concern and judgment, wanting to know if it's going to be a problem for him and Tim to be playing together. If he can trust Jason not to jeopardize the game over personal disagreements. Jason doesn't know how to explain it to him and he also doesn't fucking want to. He tells him no, it won't be a fucking problem.

It freaks him out. He backslides, hard. Tim had been warming up to him, but he's obviously surprised about getting the cold shoulder. Surprised and pissed.

He corners Jason in the locker room after a game Jason nearly lost them, a loss that would have shut them out of the Series this year for good. Jason's been closing every game he plays, but Tim had to be sent back in to clean up after his piss-poor showing. He lays into Jason. He reads him to filth. He correctly diagnoses the source of Jason's insecurities and his beef with Bruce that's older than basically any of his other problems, and basically tells him to quit yanking the team-- and Tim-- around. He storms out with the last word, and Jason fumes with his head in his hands.

(Apparently, Tim looked up to Jason, once upon a time. Apparently, Tim was a fan before he was a colleague, a rival; a friend. Apparently he'd been nervous but excited at first to meet Jason in person, to get to talk to one of his heroes. Jason feels like a heel.)

They don't talk after that except to play the game. Tim is professionally distant, doesn't stare at Jason the way he used to, the way he was starting to. The roles reverse-- one week later, he's the one who stares at Tim, watches him take the mound during the game that will decide their fate, decide if they'll go to the Series this year or not, with an awful, burning need bubbling in his chest for Tim to look back at him just once.

When Jason takes the mound for him, Tim glances at him. It's brief, but he nods at Jason, a dare in his eyes that Jason wants to take. It loosens his lungs and lets him breathe for the rest of the game. He plays the best he has all season. And Jason knows the reason.

They win the Series. Bruce offers to put Jason back as a starter next year, but Jason declines and does one more year as a relief pitcher. He's done taking stupid risks with his body, with his career, and he knows if he goes back now he risks a flare up. If he's gonna show Tim up, he's gotta give himself his best chance.

Cue the fic. (They absolutely fuck in the dugout btw. Tim asks with his hands already on Jason's skin-- "Can I touch you?" Tim asks with his mouth already on Jason-- "Can I--")

So i hit the character limit but TAH DAH thats bb au <3

I am intensely curious, what do you like about Warrior Cats? I've been seeing it a lot since joining the WoF fandom but have no idea what it's about

!!! okay! hehehe

so! i'm gonna give an overview first!

warriors is written by erin hunter. erin hunter is commonly referred to by the fandom as "the erins" because it's a pen name for a bunch of authors! the reason you're seeing so much of it in the WoF fandom is bc Tui is one of the Erins!

i really like warriors bc kitties are just super fun to draw! some of the characters are really intruiging (cough cough jaypaw.. he's a fan favorite lol) and it has really neat lore!

however there are like 8 arcs with 6 books each + 20 extra-long special editions + 12 short stories + a bunch of graphic novels that have their own lore and storylines that are adjacent to the main books. it's kind of intimidating to go into lol

also the disability rep is just as bad as wof if not worse! so! yeah.

[daylightdelirium]

how about a classic There's Only One Bed except one of them is sick with sskk...💅

"I can't fucking believe Dazai sent us to a safehouse with one goddamn mattress."

"It was originally meant for just him, idiot weretiger. What were you expecting?"

Atsushi huffed, dragging Akutagawa's half-limp body across the hardwood floor. "He at least could've warned us. I would've brought a sleeping bag."

Akutagawa gave him an uncharacteristically lopsided grin, eyes clouded over feverishly. "What, you can't sleep on the floor like a good kitty?"

"I could drop you, you know."

"You won't." Akutagawa slurred, head lolling to the side with eyes barely kept open. Atsushi's brow furrowed with both irritation and concern (and irritation at his concern). He laid his rival-turned-partner on the ratty mattress as carefully as he could, peeling away the cover and inspecting it dubiously.

Akutagawa curled into himself in a fit of coughing, which eventually evolved into exhausted wheezes. Atsushi winced, sitting on the side of the bed and steadying him with a hand on his back.

"Okay, okay..." He murmured, cursing himself for the umpteenth time that day for taking a job in the middle of a raging storm.

The wheezes softened into shallow breathing as Akutagawa finally gave into sleep, his fingers loosening their iron grip on the sheets. Atsushi exhaled, grateful for the respite, brief as it might have been. Careful not the jostle the fragile figure beside him, he lowered himself onto the mattress to await what was sure to be a long night.

Comms are done for the week! More Wonka doodles tomorrow maybe? :0c ✨

[ihavezeno]

Previous anon: Thank you! I was assuming there was a story or a thread set after one of the endings, as Fuyu wanting to kill him for revenge and his mess of feelings about everything that happened was already there in the game, but I was curious about if there was content on Aki's side of it. I didn't know about Marutoku tweets on it, though I thought it would make sense if Fuyu really tried to kill him (while Aki has his memories), he'd let him, given his sense of guilt over everything...

What's really interesting about ZENO is we actually don't get very much of Aki's perspective in general outside of a few short stories and ZENO NOVEL! ZENO Remake is at it's core Tsugino's story, with Ushirono part being added to make sure that Fuyu had a satisfying ending too... You see more about how Tsugino and Fuyu feel about Aki than how he feels about them, and I feel like it contributes a lot to how people tend to water down his character in the fandom (though that's an entirely separate rant haha)

Aki would absolutely let Fuyu kill him if he tried to, in my opinion. He would see it as a kind of penance he deserves to pay for what he did to Natsu... Which is exactly why Fuyu ultimately doesn't give him that satisfaction, no matter how much he wants to. Aki has to live in order to truly atone, he isn't allowed to take the easy way out. He's the kind of character that thinks so little of himself that he's willing to sacrifice himself over and over and over for those he cares about-- you see it in the base game, you see it in Daily Life, and you see it in ZENO NOVEL.

If you want to see more of Aki's thought process and perspective, ZENO NOVEL is the april fools game centered around him, and the aquarium short story with tsugino pretty clearly shows how he feels about him.

Hello! I just found your work and its honestly so inspiring to me as student in college for general fine arts who's wanting to go into character and concept design :o) I do personal work as well to keep me character designing so seeing your personal work and then stating you've worked in the industry is really inspiring to me! I love your portfolio site! forgive me if this is a bit invasive but is the professional work password protected due to the fact its copyrighted? if so I understand! I was just curious as I love looking at other peoples concept work as Id love see how other people do their concept art and character design [as Disney "the art of x" inspired me to get into the concept art field] thank you for reading! have a lovely day!

Hiya!! Man, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really happy to provide any inspiration, ah!!! Character design is a really fun field to work in but hard to break into, so I'm always happy to give advice in that regard if there's ever a need :o) There's a lot of my personal art on there because it's good to show that you have a genuine passion for this and do it in your spare time, too.

Also not an invasive ask, I do have to put a password on my professional work because a lot of it is NDA work (Non-Disclosure Agreement for those unfamiliar). I also went ahead and put one on my resume as well for the same reason! Probably not the norm, but when you have a personal project that suddenly starts getting traction, you kinda have to for some privacy.

I hope that helps! Take care :o))

Grand babbee cardassian has broken me… also more Jocasta content pls we love a quiet queen

GRANPA GARAK! A DISIPLINARIAN!

He gets up early every day to pick fresh fruit from the garden for his grandkids. Elim III is his Little Regnar. Lim thinks he's going to spoil them rotten (the orphanage and the dirt floor gardening shed that they lived in was CHARACTER BUILDING. it made him the MAN HE IS TODAY.)

JOCASTA LOVE.... she's truly an underrated queen.. here maam ms head scrub nurse you dropped your crown 👑

She cares about outward presentation as much as any Cardassian, but especially hair (cardassian hair being much thicker and coarser than human fur.)

also she refers to julian as Dr Bashir at work just out of propriety and respect. most people don't know that they're father and daughter simply because she does not care to tell them. they just think she's his favorite because she's good at her job and gently takes no shit

^ scenes that play before the least pleasant vacation miles has ever been on

[copyspaghetti]

Was rereading your BDSM Reimob fic and it crossed my mind that that premise would also go SO HARD with Age Swap Ritrei (mostly because the image of Arataka in a dog/fox set wouldn't leave my brain 🙏)

?????? ELABORATE. ELABORATE DEAR LORD PLEASE

Or write it as a complege fic 👀????

You can't just drop the most amazing concept in my askbox and leave, we are having this conversation now

[mintmoth]

HI sorry I saw your Splatoon Idia/Azul crossover post and I was curious what you would feel their mains would be?

My friends and I came up with Octobrush(lol) or some roller/squeezer for Azul and Idia having a custom Hydra/Heavy he modded himself

SO FUNNY THING WITH BOTH OF THESE I actually got some really great tags on the doodle I did of Idia and Azul that made me laugh and bring it up in a server on discord

I personally just love the idea of Azul getting a loadout with perfect specs and making himself a powerhouse so all he has to do is get his special up enough and then completely decimate

While Idia hangs back and keeps to himself while thinking he's better than the rest of the team since he "actually has skill"

They're both horrible honeslty lmao

I have played TCM in the betas and up to the current version on steam and GODDAMN, they have yet to miss. I have been fully obsessed with each and everyone of these character, hell I want them all. I am scooping them up in my hands and carrying them around like a group of dolls. I have drawn and redrawn Mori so much (despite how much his tattooos fight me) that it could constitute mental illness but is it all worth it? Damn right it is. I just wanted to hop in and share my love for this game because it slaps and I'm so excited for more

dfghsdhjf thank you so much!! I really love writing for my Bastard collection and I'm just like... beyond happy that so many people ALSO are enjoying The Bastards. Also fr apologies ahead of time for my obnoxiously complex character designs with all the tattoos and piercings and all that. It's pretty obvious I'm a writer and not an artist lmfao. BUT please please please tag me if you post any artwork! I love seeing the guys through yall's eyes!! Also for real we're all down bad here so we're free to play Bastard Dollhouse without fear of judgement or cringe so says I.

Imagine ghost being all nervous about taking off his mask around you and he’s thinking so much, and one day he says fuck it and rips it off and you just walk past him like nothing. Like “morning riley” and you’re placing him breakfast on the table. He’s so…confused?. But he’s so…comfy?.

No because this.

He’d been debating it for weeks, constantly thinking about it. About what you’d think. What if you thought he was hideous, were utterly repulsed and never wanted to see him again? He doubted that would happen because you were too kind, too sweet. But still. A man has anxieties.

The way you smiled at him, talked to him, made him consider the fact that you probably wouldn’t care at all what he looked like. You liked him for him, his personality. So what was the harm in trying?

And he almost did it one day, almost did the big announcement and the big reveal… But then he hyped it up for himself too much. Just re-igniting the worries he had about the whole thing. He was overthinking. Classic.

But then one morning, he realised something. If he didn’t do it now, would he ever? Or would he stay crawled into a hole where nothing could touch or attempt to harm him apart from his own plaguing thoughts.

So the mask was ripped off. Pushed to the other side of the table to prevent him from reaching out for it and covering himself up again.

The thoughts were beginning to eat at him. What was he thinking? This was a terrible idea.

And then you walked into the room, smiled at him as usual with no outwards reaction to his appearance. You chirped a single “morning, Riley” and asked him what he wanted for breakfast.

And he relaxed. Felt completely confused but also so comfortable and safe. He was always safe with you. He just hadn’t entirely realised it until this moment. He knew then that he’d never let you go.
