Soap: *covered in black lipstick kisses all over his face and neck and a stupid lovesick look on his face*

Price, behind the camera: "who did that to you?"

Price: *turns to Laswell, wearing bright red lipstick* "did you do that?"

Laswell: "nope"

Price: *turns to Ghost, whose mask is above his nose and his lips are stained black and heavily smeared*

Ghost: "then who did?"

Gaz: *throws an arm around Ghost to jump into frame, also with black stained lips that are heavily smeared* "yeah, who?"

The Preferable Alternative-prologue-part 2

Start - Previous (just start) - Next

And here we go! : )

I wanted to wait until your birthday, but I got too impatient so I’m putting this right here-

I based Heket off of those little Desert Rainfrogs and I added Shamura in for funsies ^^ (I wanted to draw them as a black widow, but I couldn’t get a good reference of a black widow’s face)

NO WAYYY LOOK AT THEM, I'M SO GLAD YOU SENT THIS IN EARLY BECAUSE I LOVE THIS SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA. I am weak to all and any art of the bishops as funny little critters tbh, ESPECIALLY MY TWO FAVES BECAUSE FROGS AND SPIDERS ARE JUST SUCH AWESOME ANIMALS TBH?? Thank you so so much for this, I kept thinking about it while running errands today kjhsdfkfj- during my free time I worked on desert rain frog heket to match yours, with the addition of black widow mura because I was doodling them last week!

Been wanting to draw shamura doing more art stuff, and imagining them as a tiny spider weaving blankets on a tiny loom was too cute to pass up. Heket as the smallest/cutest yet temperamental frog is the funniest possible species choice for her, you have good taste LMAO

WIP today! does spider have pusspuss? yes

Eepy Alphas

Even after misadventures with weird Jedi artifacts, Stec and Fordo still go to their older brother for help.

Still adore the "turn back into children" trope and decided Alpha-17 is the perfect person to watch out for two baby Alphas.

“You’re posing as a gay man but there’s no lover beside you.”

- normal things you say to your twin when you wake her up from dead sleep so you can use her as a art reference when she blearily asks why the fuck you woke her.

@stealingyourbones im so sorry bro I just couldn’t a ref image at the right angle, u can go back to sleep now.

So…. those arcane photos weren’t supposed to be officially released and uploaded to websites for purchase and they got taken down sometime today. The person posted an announcement on twitter an hour or so ago that they made a mistake uploading it to the website and their store🫡

Repayment but Not Just Repayment or a Meta on the Wen Siblings' Sacrifice

Wen Qing and Wen Ning's sacrifice is probably one of the most under-discussed topics in the fandom. A few have tackled it from the viewpoint of debt—which is true and valid—but I will be coming at it from the angle of love, because although there is a debt that ties Wei Wuxian to the Wen siblings, it is inseparable from the genuine affection they each hold for him. Let's start with Wen Qing's last words to Wei Wuxian:

Wen Qing interrupted him, “I’ve never really said such things to you before. But now that it’s today, there are indeed a few things I should say. I really won’t get a chance to say them after this.” ... Wen Qing, “I’m sorry. And, thank you.”

—Chapt. 77: Nightfall, exr

Throughout the novel, characters seem to have a negative response to being told "I'm sorry" and "thank you" in serious conversation, as both seem to imply a tie of debt and accepting ownership of the debt. Jin Ling refuses to thank Wei Wuxian for saving his life or apologize to him for being disrespectful despite all the life-saving. Lan Wangji has a negative reaction to Wei Wuxian thanking him in many different scenes in the novel, so much so that Wei Wuxian comments on the fact that a lot of their bad separations were precipitated by Wei Wuxian's thanks. Even here, Wei Wuxian has a negative reaction to Wen Qing's words, especially as they come at the end of her speech about how the repayment she asked of Wei Wuxian has unintentionally led them all down a path of no-return. But Wen Qing isn't using it in this way.

As discussed here and here, the Wen siblings actually love Wei Wuxian outside of the circumstances they find themselves in. They do not tie themselves to him because of debt but because he has proven himself to be honest and genuine in a way that the other cultivators they had previously come up against had not. At the same time because of the debt, the relationship between the three is fraught with things that cannot be said lest they be misunderstood. Wen Qing never verbally thanks Wei Wuxian for bringing her brother's consciousness back; instead she treats his wounds and helps put together a family banquet in his honor where she even personally serves him food and alcohol. Wen Ning never verbally thanks Wei Wuxian for rescuing his family and bringing him back; instead he continues to act as his physical protector in both of Wei Wuxian's lives. Neither of them apologize for having implicated Wei Wuxian in the plight of the Wen remnants, as that would have been incurring another debt that Wei Wuxian would likely not accept. However, when the tentative stalemate with the cultivation world is broken with Jin Zixuan's death, none of that matters anymore. They are all at the end of the line and must make a choice: throw Wei Wuxian to the wolves or sacrifice themselves. They choose to sacrifice themselves in the hopes that it will spare Wei Wuxian:

Wen Qing’s voice was calm, “Wei Ying, we both know. Wen Ning is a knife, a knife that scares them, but also a knife that they use as an excuse to attack you. If we go, without the knife, they’d no longer have an excuse. This entire thing might finally be over.”

They can finally say what they want to say, which is that they appreciate what Wei Wuxian has done for them, that they see all that he has sacrificed, that they are willing to match that level of dedication, and that they, too, are willing to risk themselves to protect him as he had been doing for them for up to a year, now. For once, the "thank you" and "I'm sorry" isn't meant to emphasize a debt-repayment relationship. It is meant to liberate Wei Wuxian from them.

4, if it so pleases you!

4. Everything Machine - half•alive

This song is also fourth on the DBHC Etho playlist! I guess now is as good a time as any to Officialize that Last Life is now canon to the dbhc au!!! Yayyyy SFVJDFKJ uhh yeah. This song is very literal in that I think Etho sees himself as responsible for being that perfect machine for bdubs? And being good at what he does, and vowing to be there for bdubs… when of course, in the end, he’s really not there for bdubs, is he.

No lasting trauma with that one, I’m sure

Brace yourselves for what will surely be a big and impressive fight...

Or not, I guess. I assume that's bugged, but we won't question a godsend when we get it.

I imagine that the "press unit to the back of the throat to inject and clamp inside the base of skull and thread ultrafine wires through your brain" part of the mechlink installation process is... uncomfortable, to say the least.

At long last, Kwahu feels properly like himself for the first time since he's existed. The Jones boys are one step closer to being properly identical! <3 <3

Kwahu's first mechanoid!!!
