Turtle Takedown Teamwork.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#tulu xuanwu#Something about changing the action sequence to something gentle is hilarious to me.#The lesson here is “Be nice to turtles. They are gentle creatures. And many are very endangered.”#don't get me wrong here; I love this scene a lot. LWJ's string technique is one of my favoyrite things.#We do get a fair amount of LWJ fighting but I always loved how the theme of strings comes into play.#There is actually a lot to unpack with LWJ being associate with 'strings'.#The musicianship: Of dedication and rigor in one's practice.#The tension between following along a path or composing your own way forwards (playing what has been written vs composing)#A string is a tightly coiled/taunt entity; The same tension that makes it sing so beautifully can be it's downfall if pushed too hard.#And as a non-musical string - something that binds. Be it to his sect and family or how he binds his fate to WWX -#LWJ cannot exist without his binds. It is not something which ties him down though. It keeps him together.#And he himself *is* a bind. He 'ties wwx down' in ways that are initially negatively viewed ('come to gusu' - feels like: come be trapped)#But later it is shown how (despite being introduced as a free spirit) WWX truly wants to be bound to something and someone.#Marriage is a bind he wants. He wants to be tied and grounded by LWJ.#It's starting to sound like innuendo. Let's call his fondness for being literally tied up smart thematic writing.#Finally. Sex scenes that are important to the plot and characters

Let's make our own fate
Needed practice with Alastor's colors before going at it with the wip piece I have (which ironically enough is another red string of fate piece). But while I do oh so enjoy Alastor being an independent mammal who doesn't need no mate, I 100% still have fun shipping with him myself from time to time. And this ship is probably my favorite with him (and y'know what, you can take this as a QPR thing or romance thing, why not?)! And, might I add, severely underrated when it has elements of radiobelle, radioapple, and radiostatic (in terms of colors at least) wrapped up together- HOW ARE PEOPLE SLEEPING ON THIS SHIP HELLO???
Joking aside, Emily and Alastor are in a weird place for me where I like them in this ship dynamic (QPR or romantic), but I also like them in a dynamic similar to what Alastor and Charlie have if you're going the mentor-protege route or parent-child route. Which is a very strange to like those two very opposing dynamics (primarily the lovey dovey and parent-child aspects because y'know... )
I don't imagine these two will really interact much in canon, but I really would love to see how their interactions would go down and if they'd be at all different from how Charlie and Alastor interact (seeing as Emily and Charlie are a wee bit similar y'know?)

Idk just thinking about Killer and his acknowledgment of Nightmare but also his acknowledgment of the fourth wall/player but also his personality disorder with Chara and Sans in the reigns of his mind and Oh God !!
Killer belongs to Rahafwabas
#guess who got the random idea to associate the outlines of an iris and pupil with Killer's target shaped soul!!!#if he escapes Nightmare will he escape Chara. if he escapes Chara will he escape Nightmare.#if he escapes anything will he ever escape the Player? is his life always in the hands of a person he'll never meet?#a person he knows more about than most and yet he knows Nothing about??#is he expected to accept this fate? to let it become background noise? would anything come out of it if he tried to fight it?#there's a being stronger than any other puppeteer he has manuevering his strings.#he knows that they'll do nothing for him but tighten them. someone put them on him in the first place.#he's a puppeteer too. he can pretend to live in the moment and enjoy what comes out of it.#but nothing's in stone until Player hammers it down.#as far as he knows? nothing's gonna come out of it.#killer sans#undertale#utmv#sans#art#sans undertale#undertale au#something new au#undertale fanart#mint rb#mint says shit#i don't know. i don't know.

A Prevailing Love
ukai keishin x reader words; 1614 synopsis; a memory from childhood- getting locked in the bathroom. the life he's living now still carries themes from his teenagerhood.
If there were at least two things that Ukai Keishin knew, it was that he was in love with her, and that he was a reasonable volleyball coach.
The second thing was due to all the time he spent working with the volleyball team, and ensuring that they were doing their best to perform at maximum capability. The first thing however, was much more of a challenge to understand. His love for her was blurry and confusing, like the way when he rubbed his eyes too hard and that static darkness that covered his eyelids, that was his adoration for her.
He wished that he could have been high school sweethearts with her, the girl who came to all of his games just so she could be the first person to congratulate him on a win, or be there to comfort him after a loss.
He only realized he liked her when she started dating some other guy from school, a green jealousy coating his senses as he kept being her friend.
There was always a thousand excuses for why he never said anything to her. The timing was never right, there were other people (for her, he never liked to date around), there was volleyball to focus on, a team to manage, shops to maintain up to standard.
She owns the small tea shop directly across from the Sakanoshita Store. If he times it just right, he can go for a smoke break when she goes outside to water the flowers in the pots splayed into the windowsill. Talking easily, and words flowed like the exhale of burnt smelling smoke from his lips.
She hated when he smoked, always citing studies about cigarettes. But he was a chainsmoker at this point.
She was the one who caught him more than once behind the school gym, smoking cigs and trying to burn leaves without starting an actual fire.
"Ukai, you can't be serious." She hit her hand to her forehead. He quickly threw his smoke to the ground and stamped on it with his shoes.
"I don't know what you're talking about." An eye roll later, and she dragged him to the non-gendered bathroom, locking the door behind her.
"Geez, if you wanted me alone, just say that." She filled a cup up with water and dumped it on his head. She tilted her head, as if to say: care to argue with me now?
He apologized, and took the piece of gum she offered. Chewing slowly, he climbed up and sat on the counter, the sink was running as she scrubbed his jacket and tried to massage enough hand soap on it to get rid of the scent of smoke. He had caused her more than enough trouble this time.
They had a science examination coming up, and their teacher had subtly, not subtly, mentioned that if anyone smelt like any kind of drug, then he would void their test and give an automatic fail. She was just trying to save his ass once again. Saving him from burning up his whole life.
When she was satisfied with the clean jacket, she held the clothing under the hand dryer, as Ukai repeatedly hit the button to start the air flow. The jacket got moderately dry, and the scent of the smoke was faded enough and replaced with the green apple hand soap. He slid his jacket back on.
The bigger problem, aside from the wet clothing, and her being mad at him yet again, was her rapidly twisting and jerking the door handle.
"It's stuck."
"It's not stuck, you just have a weak grip." Ukai motioned her aside, turning the handle with more force than he guessed was needed.
She folded her arms and began tapping her foot.
"I wasn't the one who got both of us stuck." He raise his hands in the air, claiming innocence.
She started hitting the door, banging and calling for someone to save them. He finally looked at his watch after he traded spots with her calling for help, 30 after the last bell. Their exam had come and gone, and the cleaners for the non-gendered bathroom only came around 7 pm. If no one came within the next fifteen minutes, then they would definitely be stuck for at least four hours.
They sat on the floor, digging through her bag to see if there was anything to unlock the door from the inside. She hadn't carried any bobby pins, no cards, no knives (which she said he shouldn't be carrying at school anyways), and no secret master key to the school.
"Let's play seven minutes in heaven." He shrugged and offered a solution to pass the time.
She smiled and shook her head, "Now I'm starting to think that you're the one who wanted me alone."
"I always want you alone." Muttered, under his breath.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
In true studious fashion, she pulled out her notebook and pens and began doing her assigned practice problems. Ukai didn't like sitting across from her, so he scooched around until he was sitting side by side with her. Watching as she carried the two, divided the 14, and added the variables.
He glanced at his watch again, only 5 o'clock. Two more hours to go. He dug through her bag to find anything to pass the time.
Lip gloss, more stationary, notes, oh.. a note.
"What's this?" He waved the pink paper in front of her face, shifting it from face forward and face backward between his pointer and middle finger. She reached to grab it, but he pulled it back to him.
"Who's it from?"
She grimaced, "That third year, the one who stops by my grandma's shop." Her face was fully flushed now, she kept trying to grab the note back, but Ukai shoved it in his front pant pocket.
"No! The same one who totally tripped on the stairs when he had to give a speech at the beginning of the year?" Ukai left out the third year's better qualities, one of the top ten students at Karasuno, played on the baseball team, was captain of said baseball team, had a job lined up with his dad's automobile company right after graduation, had an actual future, stability, guarantees.
He pulled the note back out, she didn't attempt to take it. He read the note. It was genuine. He listed out the reasons he liked, nay, loved her. The same reasons Ukai loved her too.
That blinding smile.
Her big brain (baseball boy said her intellect, but Ukai knew that it could be summed up as her big brain).
Her heart, especially the fact that she was super respectful to the elders in town. The way she held her grandma's arm so they could sit on the porch sipping lavender tea together.
The way she looked in a swimsuit (utterly true, although Ukai wondered under what context this idiot saw her in a swimsuit).
Ukai shoved the note back to her, refusing to read any more than he had to.
"He's nice." She whispers.
"Nicer than me?" He joked.
"Not quite." It was an honest reply.
She never ended up dating the golden boy. But she didn't date Ukai either, so he considered it a break even circumstance.
The principal's office the day after they had gotten found by the custodian was brutal. She even had to take a 'just in case' pregnancy test, and she was mortified. Ukai had to do several hours of community service. The non-gendered bathroom was therefore and forever closed down. But they always fondly recalled the bathroom incident.
“Remember the time, when that one dude from that opposing high school called me Heracles?” Ukai finished wiping off the counter, and turning the sign on the store from open to closed.
She laughs a bit, wiping her hands on her apron. She leaned against the counter as Ukai opened the freezer to get out some ice cream. The crickets outside chirping from the simple temperature drop as day slid into night. They were older now. He said his back hurt more than once a month. She complained that her mom wanted her to get married and have babies as soon as possible.
“And then, I said something along the lines of, ‘He’s more like Hunk-acles rather than Heracles’ I do remember that.” Ukai smiles as he hands her favorite ice cream to her. Opening his own ice cream sandwich as she lets out a content sound from the taste of the refreshing treat. She looks over to him and she bumps his shoulder with her own.
“I had the biggest crush on you when we were in high school. Looking back on it, I’m sure it was obvious.” She scrunched her face up, her nose wrinkling and her cheeks lightly dimpled from her grin. Ukai decides to toy with her a little, just like when they were teenagers.
“And now? Still have a little crush on me?” Ukai throws away the paper wrapper of his frozen delicacy and pulls out a cigarette, lighting it before taking a slow drag from it.
She shrugs, leaning over and wiping away something from the corner of his mouth. The cigarette almost falling out of his mouth from the sudden touch from her. “Maybe I do.”
Ukai smirks, scratching the back of his head before rolling up his long sleeves and folding his arms. “What if I told you I also have a crush on you?” She laughs and she tugs on his arm, adjusting it so that she was holding his hand.
“Then I’d say, let's go on a date.”

my favorite genre of vi and jinx fanart is art of them being way too close to the point where you can infer that theyre codependent just by the way they're posed
#it speaks#not a ship post btw#theres something abt familial intimacy that makes me wanna cry#arcane#vi#jinx#no red string of fate with them. they're bound to each other by the neck with chains

In the finale of justified, it would've been so easy for raylan to kill boyd and get away with it.'He could've kicked that gun over back towards boyd and claimed that he pulled first, so he had to shoot him. No one would question that, they all knew that boyd was a man who'd do anything to get what he wanted, justify any means to a desired end. And raylan had done it before—he'd provoked men into fatal circumstances, walked away comfortably knowing that he'd played a hand in their death, even if he didn't kill them himself. But, with boyd? He couldn't. It didn't matter that he'd shot boyd before, that he told boyd multiple times that he'd kill him, that everyone was convinced he'd gone up that mountain to do exactly that. He still couldn't. He couldn't kill boyd, because that'd mean achieving his only goal in life for years, and after that, what would be left for him?
#justified#justified fx#time to take this outta the drafts :):):):):)#obviously not THE point of the finale#but. something something raylan and boyd cant live with each other but also cant live without one another#red string of fate whatever whatever

not to over-indulge in my own tags and this extremely hyperspecific au but walk with me for a minute. it's this scene from the series finale of LOST except make it rick and michonne. and instead of it being them reuniting in the afterlife it's them reuniting after the poof! no apocalypse timeline reset and they're getting flashbacks of the original zombie apocalypse timeline. do you see my vision.
#richonne#the IDEA is they both wake up and the apocalypse did not happen (like rick wakes up from his coma but the world did not end)#but they both feel panicked because something is not right. there is a sense of loss and grief they cannot explain#they look at carl and andre respectively and burst into tears and are hyper vigilant around them and don't know why#their partners go to touch them and they flinch and they DON'T KNOW WHY#meanwhile little things give them deja vu that they don't understand#and then because Invisible String of Fate they somehow cross paths and lock eyes and it's The Fence multiplied by like a million#and then idk if the flashbacks come all at once or a little over time but either way they Recognize each other#and it torpedoes both of their lives#idk what happens after that but DO YOU SEE THE VISION#oh and there are RULES such as#the stronger your connection with someone the more easily you ~remember them when you meet again#and also the longer you lived through the original timeline the stronger your memories are#so for example since richonne would obviously had been alive at the time of the reset#they'd have crystal clear vision of their memories once they regained them#but people who died quickly would have either a vague memory or no memory of the original timeline#this is so you could have the DELICIOUS dichotomy of rick and michonne remembering EVERYTHING while lori and mike remember basically nothin#AGAIN DO YOU SEE MY VISION

Magnetism - a carcar poem
A magnetic field is made of vectors that have both a direction and a magnitude.
That burning feeling clawing at your chest. Is it directed at me? Can you feel its strength?
Tell me.
Do you hate me? Do you love me? Are you jealous?
We are magnets, you and I. Sometimes double negatives. Mostly polar-opposites. But magnets nonetheless.
When you go left, I go right.
When you go right, I go left.
When I try to follow you, we collide. It's only natural.
Sometimes I think I can grasp you. Can see you for who you are. Then you repel me and we're back to square one.
But I don't blame you. I never did.
Even when the pull gets so strong we can no longer breathe each other’s air, I am drawn towards you. And you are drawn towards me.
Cause we are magnets, you and I.
#still thinking about carlos acknowledging the red string of fate between him and oscar#when i finally have the spoons again i will make a web weave out of this#and that's a threat#carcar#poetry#formula 1 rpf#lotus wrote something
