I'm so irritated Ao3 forced logged me out for awhile and I don't know why but I can log back in but it doesn't stick. Honestly I wanna chew through drywall that's how annoyed I am-

[the-leyline-directory]

Have my current small collection of Aramis sketches. I'll have his blog up in a little bit to be sure but short rundown;

FF16 OC, Aramis Dantes, Dominant of the Lesser Eikon Nidhogg 'Shadow of Bahamut, Sleeping Guardian of Saint Graegor' ;; Once a Dragoon, now excommunicated due to Anabella's lies and then handed to Waloed for peaceful promises. (To the public the lies continued as his 'defection' and 'betrayal'). Spent a few years within Balmung Dark, until uncontrolled priming and escaping. The next handful of years were spent making it back to Storm, learning about his status as a convicted felon and wanted villain, being violently hands on about freeing bearers from servitude, and being a 'terrorist' to Anabella in any way he could. It's not until after the start of the narrative that he properly gives Cid a chance and begins visiting the Hideaway.

Sidenote; It's a bit more complicated than that, and his lore is tied with another character owned by my wife who assists to ground his motivations, and the status of his Eikon does not effect the story narrative and I'll explain that more on his pages as it has spoiler context. --- secondary note is that while Aramis is the Dominant of ‘Nidhogg’; this is not based on the FF14 Characterization, and more accurate to say he is formed around ‘Níðhöggr’ the original Norse mythology and such traits are evident.

Writer game!

Rules: In a new post, post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet or tell us about it. Then tag as many people as you have WIPs. If you don't write, list your art WIPs! Overlord!Huskerdust au - Val loses Angel's soul in a bet to Husk, Husk & Angel slowly fall in love, Husk's casino stops making a profit & Husk loses his soul to Alastor. Stick it Val - Basically an Angel x Vox au where they start hooking up behind Valentino's back as a mental "go fuck yourself, I can do what I want" Overlord!Angel Dust - Basically a role reversal of Hazbin Hotel, I have only written a bit for Charlie, Angel & Vaggie tho.

I can see through you - Kallus is barerly force sensitive but with the small amount of force sensitivity that he has, he can tell when a person is lying. That's not a problem in his work, but it is when he starts befriending Zeb.

I told myself I wasn't going to ever make this post. Because I had hope. Because I wanted to believe that Miraculous had decent writing and that the sentiadren theory was not the pinnacle of what they could accomplish. Then season 5 happened. The first few episodes were good, it even forced me to make my blog solely Miraculous themed because the interactions I had with everyone were so much fun. Heck youve seen the reaction posts I did both in character and as myself.

(under the cut is a bunch of writing that you can take as me explaining my reasoning or just complaining. Either way, if you're hoping for anymore Miraculous content from me? Stories or screen caps, you best unfollow. Because I'm done.)

But then the leaks came. And, like an ancient being unable to properly use Facebook, I failed to avoid them. I told myself that certain spoilers didn't matter, that I could wait until the actual episodes came out to decide whether or not the salt was justified, that with a terrible memory like mine I'd forget it in no time (just look at some of the other screw ups I've made regarding Miraculous, it's not that far fetched.) However, as the number of Miraculous tags and blogs I followed began to grow the number of consenting opinions grew as well.

There are those who hate Marinette for being obsessed or a stalker when it comes to Adrien (who Id like to point out has had several episodes where we've seen his obsessed stalkers. Now Wayhem is creepy.) Those who love her and believe that all against her should suffer (which I was briefly a part of and still must fight my Alya bias even now.) And the same goes for the rest of the characters. But I still wanted to sit back and form my own opinions as cleanly as possible.

Needless to say, I failed. The more I stepped back and looked at the episodes, the more spoilers I failed to avoid to the episode screenshots I saw despite not having seen said episode yet. It all resulted in one clear opinion in my mind. Season 5 is a letdown. Not only because it's an out of order mess with the release dates but because it seemed more and more like pandering. Sentitheory is confirmed, Adrinette becomes canon, Lila gets revealed, Chloe gets punished and we get some LGBTQ+ recognition in the form of Zoe. (And Miss Bustier if I'm hearing right but I'm not really sure about that one.)

That should have been great, I'm all for writers letting the fans know they're appreciated. I was a brony during the 100th episode. That was like ambrosia for us fans. This? Felt like bad fanfiction and I know bad fanfiction, I've written tons of it. Firstly, why Zoe? If you're going to piss off Disney and other broadcasters, which I believe is why it was never done before, then why not confirm Rose and Juleka? Or Marc and Nathaniel? Why spend an episode saying something the fandom had basically decided the moment Zoe first showed up? And apparently it's just an end of episode confirmation where Marinette says she's flattered? I mean I get it but really? I don't know whether to be proud of her for not making a big deal of it or disappointed that the show doesn't make a bigger deal of it considering just how hard a confession like that can be. But you know what? I haven't watched the episode and I'm not going too so I probably shouldn't judge it.

What I will judge the everloving shit out of is the handling of Luka and Chloe. Luka must leave Paris because he knows who LB and CN are. That makes sense, we've seen in Star train that HawkMoth can't really sense or control his akuma's once they leave Paris so they'd have to leave to hunt Luka down. However Luka found out halfway through last season and, outside Ephemeral (which is its own set of issues) is never brought up. Seriously? I'm all for the Lukagami team up (which didn't actually end in Lukagami) for getting Adrinette together but you couldn't have had him pop up in a few more episodes to have him give excuses for the heroes to get away? Maybe pop up a bit more in support of Adrien? I'd be more upset if I hadn't known about the whole Luka leaving Paris, along with the Zoe confession, since BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED. But again, seperate issues.

And then there's Chloe. Oh Chloe. Now I wouldn't call myself a Chloe Stan. Until I actually started writing out ideas I didn't like her. She's the civilian foil to Marinette who is only put up with because her Daddy's the mayor and Adrien remembers when they had fun as little kids. The terrible airing of episodes didn't help either. Had I not been taking notes on every episode and had they not marathoned them on tv leading up to the release of the movies, I would have never put the pieces of her character together. Her self doubt, her abandonment by her mother, Mr. Cuddles and sucking her thumb? That is not the actions of evil incarnate. And what does the show do? LITERALLY REPLACE HER WITH ZOE!

And I don't mean the salty fans complaining about Mary Zoe as a replacement. No, the show doubles down by having the mayor adopt Zoe and send Chloe off with the mother who refuses to get her name right that Chloe doubts actually loves her. That? Is beyond fucked up. That? Is something I'd have written back when I didn't fully understand how tribulations and pain were parts of character growth. Just a simple "nah, Chloe bad. Zoe better. Just have Zoe." Seriously do you know how long it took me to realise that you can't just get rid of the bad guy if you want to make a good story?

And then, to cap it all off. HawkMoth gets his wish. On the bright side, if you wanted to know why Bunnix didn't show up until Evolution or during Ephemeral? That's why. Apparently Marinette feeling like a complete and utter failure is necessary for the future Alix comes from to happen. In fact, had Ephemeral happened before Wishmaker? Wed basically be watching season 6 right now. How else was Luka supposed to know what the hell Ladybug was talking about? Dudes not that smart I'm sorry. Hell nobody in the show is.

Seriously, who's genius fucking idea was it to have HawkMoth win this far into the show? Need I remind all of you how the wish is meant to work? It's a reset. A complete erasure and rewrite. There should be no "keeping secrets from Adrien" drama because, as far as the entire UNIVERSE is aware Emilie Agreste never vanished and whatever happened to Gabriel always happened. Hell the only one keeping secrets in this new world should be the kwamis since they're apparently the only ones who recognise what a reset looks like meaning they've experienced it before. And apparently they're all with their holders in this new universe? Hell I may watch the last episode just to figure out what crap they pull to try and explain everything. And why we should care about anything that happened in the past 8 YEARS if the "grand plan" of Astruc was just to erase it!

..... Sorry. I got way more frustrated towards the end there than I should have. If you have read this entire thing? Thanks and I'm sorry if I've wasted your time. What started out for me as a wonderful show about magic and love and typical good vs evil has now appears to have devolved into lazy writing, character assassination, retcons and repetition. I don't want to be one of the people who blame ZAG or TA or the writers about the problems of the show. That's more anger and salt then I need in my life. I'm just saying that, if this is the direction they choose to take it, that this was always the end point? Then I'm getting off here.

Being up at 8am means realizing your sister-wife really did commit a party foul of unimaginable reach and that you're just angry now. No more fuzzy happy feelsies over a dude on the telly, just sad and disappointed and angry feelsies over the casual use of ai.

||Do we have a deal Part 5: The protective devil parent, one on one talk||

Hi dears, I am back with part 5 from the Do we have a deal mini series. We continue on after what happened in the last chapter. If you wish to read the last two parts, they are under the chapter tag. But this is a gift for my partner and friend. <3

~~~Chapters~~~~

Part one: Do we have a deal: Sacrifice

Part two: Do we have a deal: Painful acceptance: the tasks

Part 3: Do we have a deal: The first task; spirit hunting, worried demon heirs

Part 4: Do we have a deal: Her training lesson and Jaron's talk

((Your reading part 5 now))

||Drabble Summary||

Melinda's first training lesson was of strengthening it since Sukuna got a small dose of how she trained but was not impressed. So he's trying a more..direct approach towards the training while getting her used to helping with a barrier around Sukuna's domain. As for the devils, they were hearing on what they can do but that leaves Yen-Lo-wang and Illyius or at least finding out of their heirs. If you wanna know, read to find out.

||Warning||

~One on one talk

~Temp blindness is present with blood for a moment

||Guests in the Drabble||

Illyius belongs to my rp friend/partner @demon-blood-youths

The devil Yen-Lo-Wang along with Melinda Brooks belongs to me

Sukuna ryomen (Demon au) belongs to me but comes from the anime jujutsu kaisen

((Note: Their will be grammar mistakes and errors in this drabble. It was written for fun so please understand. Thanks for that and hope you like.))

The next day has come as Illyius has returned to the demon world seeing that the devils were doing their best in order to find some way to get past Sukuna's barrier. However, they found out thanks to some help from Melinda, it's more harder to get through. Seems her telekeneic energy was more powerful than they thought so it got twice as hard.

He didn't blame the poor dear but she was just following orders he gave so Sukuna was having more privacy none the less. It was a pain to see this but Illyius sighed to walk off when he stops to look. He sees Yen-Lo-Wang sitting but he was thinking about his heir(daughter) Melinda and hoping she was alright. He walks over to check on him.

"How are you holding up my friend?" he heard Illyius speak as the devil came back from the real world. He didn't know how he was holding up but slowly tries to calm his thoughts.

"I'm hold on, my friend. That's all I really can do right now. With the situation getting no where or worse since the other devils sees some telekentic barrier around Sukuna's domain." He explains this to see Illyius sighing.

"I've seen and heard. I guess he's really serious about his barrier and his so called privacy. It's like he won't let any other of us in unless invited. Knowing him, that could be a while." He didn't like that and yet, he was sitting by the death dragon devil to see him thinking.

"Even so, I always have told you that everything will be alright though." he said with Yen sighing. He knew that but can you blame him for worrying? He noticed that but Illyius sighed.

"But where did you even go? You were gone for a while..." Yen asked as the other was looking ahead.

"I just came back from the human world to speak to my own heir. He was upset about this whole thing a lot more than I thought he would be. And he's always on the positive note. Seems your heir has touched his heart a lot more than I thought she would. I'm impressed." He crossed his arms thinking about it that Yen looks to him.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Meaning she's really really close with him like he's with her. Which has me wondering how I can thank her for saving him. I would suggest him taking her out. Getting her a present. Or something on his case. Me? I don't know...maybe flowers.." He mutters to think about this to wonder about Melinda.

"Well, even so I'm still worried about her right now. Sukuna has not come to speak to us or update us on her. I don't know what he's doing but he better not be doing something to my daughter-" he stops when saying that but looks quiet.

"Daughter? So you do see her as your own child too now? I know you did lose a few others in the past but seems she's grown close to you." he smiled to Yen who looks quiet after a moment. He did grow on Melinda or she grew on him. Even if he checks up on her he's been told a lot of things from her. About how happy she's been and her training. Even with Jaron and how he makes her happy.

Seems she really has gotten better for herself. Yen sighed but Illyius pats his back to look at him.

"I know it's something to take in but remember, she's strong. You told her to always fight for who she cares for. Even loves who she is. I think our heirs really have gotten closer. I'm still shocked that they haven't went on a date yet." He mutters that Yen looks to think.

"I don't know much about it but..since he's already warmed her heart, I will be alright with her being with him. Seems she only thinks and cares about him so....if they did become closer, I'll allow it." he said but saw Illyius smiled.

"I agree with you." he said as the two were calm again but they saw the devils still talking while looking at a orb floating. Sukuna's domain was still there but it was more heavily protected.

~~~Meanwhile~~~~~

Melinda was just walking around slowly while trying to get used to her eyes healing. She had changed the bandage around them but winces from walking into things. She was learning trying to get used to using her senses. She feels the wall slowly while moving around. However, she feels for the bed and sits down slowly.

"........." She's been walking around all this morning to get used to her surrounds but in some way, she was working on it. Sukuna had told her to work on her senses so far and yet she was already nervous about it. Knowing from here on out the training will get harder and harder. For now, she just lowers her head while feeling the bandages.

Melinda wishes she can see but this was part of her training or till she learned to heal her own eyes. Sukuna was brutal alright but she had to bear with it.

She did wonder how the others were back home and how Jaron was. Melinda hopes he was okay so far and the same for her team too. They had to be deadly worried about her but she was too. With everything. She did sense the spirits from outside the barrier floating around but she then lowers down to try thinking.

As she was doing that, Melinda senses something to make her lift her head up. "Huh?" their was something in the room but she begins trying to sense it. It wasn't Sukuna so what was it. She begins moving around or feeling her way around before she felt something make a yip noise. Okay, something was in there but it sounded like...

"A..puppy?" she mutters but that's when something hops on her head to show a little puppy jackal or a demon one. It was wagging it's tail while resting on her head as she feels for it on top and pulls it down to hold in her hands. She hears the familiar panting but a cute yawn was heard.

".....Wait a moment, it is a puppy but..where did you come from?" she asked now moving to slowly walk back without bumping into something but sits down feeling the puppy jackal in her lap. It was looking up at her wagging it's tail but tilts it's head whining. Melinda blinks but she only feels it nuzzling against her lap being cute that she lowers her head now feeling it licking her fingers.

".....You must be a adorable little baby puppy but where did you even come from?" she asked softly while rubbing it's belly. It wiggles and yet she was relaxing now. However, she feels the baby licks to feel the puppy laying on her lap again. Melinda said nothing but she keeps petting it then had a idea. Did he.....she wonders if this little one was related to the baby lung dragon she left with him? Did he leave a part of him with her?

"......." Thinking about it, she focused to feel the aura around the puppy but it felt familiar that she felt a familiar warmth. A familiar cursed energy.

'Jaron...' she said in her mind but she smiled a little that she wanted to cry but winces from the sting from her healing eyes. The puppy jackal whines to get on it's back legs licking her cheek. This made her smile holding the cutie in her arms.

"No worries, I'll be alright. I wasn't expecting him to leave a part of himself with me. Seems he didn't know but.....at least I know he's with me no matter what.." she feels the puppy licking her happily on the cheek that she hugs the baby and kisses the top of it's head. "Though, I don't want Sukuna to hurt you either. I don't know if you can understand me but if you sense some dangerous cursed energy or smell it, hide alright?" she asked seeing the puppy tilt it's head but yips understanding.

She smiled to boop the puppy's nose. "Good. Hmm, I guess we can rest up but.." However, she stops sensing someone to quickly look in that direction while she hears the puppy growling.

"Oh dear..quick you have to hide remember?" she asked seeing the puppy whine but did as she said to quickly disappear or change while staying close. Melinda heard the door open but senses Sukuna walking in while he was looking to her.

"Well, seems you got some rest. Though, you didn't heal your eyes yet?" he saw her looking quiet to shake her head no. "Tch, this is going to be a long training session in the two months but oh well. Listen, as I said before, your training will still get worse by the day along with you still finishing my tasks. I don't want you to show weakness you hear me?" he said seeing Melinda nod.

"Good. I would ask for another blood sample but..you still might be low on blood. But that should be fine after the medicine I gave you. It should help you make more blood two times fast so I can eat and lucky me..I'm hungry.." he said as Melinda was nervous.

"B..but I thought you said you will get your blood payment ever two demon moon nights-"

"I did and still do but I want to eat now. So stop talking I want to eat." he said taking a step forward while Melinda moves back nervous. She tries to talk but Sukuna was holding her down while looking to get ready to eat from her. However, he looks down only to see her neck bare to chuckle.

"Maybe I could eat from your neck. They say it's the best there." he said to Melinda tensing up.

"N..No! You can drink my blood or eat from my arm or wrist but not the neck." she said but he grips her throat to hold her down. She winces feeling him start to chock her.

"I'm sorry. I didn't give you permission to speak did it!? Either you want me to rip your heart out or better.." he said annoyed but that's when he was about to do that till..he felt something bite him as he looks seeing some dog? Where did this thing come from?! Melinda coughs from her throat but she knew Sukuna found him.

"Wait don't hurt him! Please, it's just a puppy!" she said but he looks to it about to kill it but the puppy jackal disappears to hide in Melinda's arms. Well, seems the jackal was able to pass some of his own cursed energy to her. He sees that puppy growling at him as Melinda tries calming it down.

"....Sneaky jackal isn't he?" he said but Melinda said nothing. The puppy kept growling but she calms him down to Sukuna looking at her.

"Even if that's the case, I still demand to eat..so either let me eat or I'll kill it." he said but Melinda got worried to sigh. She saw the puppy whine but sets him down.

"It's alright...he'll just be a moment.." she said carefully setting the puppy down but Sukuna grabs her arm to yank her over as he tightens his grip hurting her. Before long, Melinda winces from his sharp teeth in her arm. Blood was drawn but he was eating again as she bares with it for a moment.

It still hurts but she bares with it while he was eating even if the puppy was using it's paw to cover it's eyes. He could smell her blood now as he eats but Melinda still bares the pain. In five minutes, he was done as she was shoved back on the bed to her wincing.

"Thanks for the meal. I guess you can keep the little mutt. But again, be ready for the training or else. I'll make your life a living hell silver bud." He said but turns to leave the room so it's her and the puppy. Right away, it jumps to rush over hoping on the bed to whine nuzzling against her.

Melinda said nothing but she was feeling her demon blood healing her as she was weak to move. However, she feels for the puppy to pet it. "I..I'll be okay. He just drained a bit too much...I'll be....." As soon as she said that she passed out tired again. The puppy yips worried but it only whines to try staying close to protect her.

From here on out, her training will being and it's going to be a long one.

I don't really have that many active wips anymore so I'm gonna pull out some old ones!

Mello Amane AU - Misa & Mello are cousins, and after the death of their parents, Misa tries to adopt Mello. However the Wammy house get's him before she can and now she's in a legal battle to get her cousin back. (Stopped making more of this bc I just did not care about Death Note after L's dead, got boring)

Kamino Intern Maul AU - Palpatine accidentally forgot Maul on Kamino and when he finally remembered that he has an apprentice, the Kaminoans have already given him a uniform and tasks to complete (Maul becomes space OSHA)

Protecting What Matters Most AU - Kallus is sent on a cultural exhange to Lasan, mets Zeb, falls in love, Mpreg is involved but before Kallus can tell Zeb that they're gonna be parents, the Purge happens. Now Kallus is trying to survive in a hostile political climate while raising a hybrid child.

Carina Sparrow AU - I should have written that idea now bc I can't remember anything about it save for the fact that Jack is in London, meets Carina, and ends up adopting her bc he knows that her mother wouldn't want her kid to be in an oprhanage (should have gotten more canon info about Carina's mother if they were going to introduce a kid character)

Ancient Egypt AU - a night at the museum fic, made bc I was obsessed with Kahmunrah and the implication of Wax figurines having their personality influenced by how they're percived vs Akhmenrah who remembers his brother as an intelligent man that just spoke slower than their father would have liked (Feature's a LOT of worldbuilding, several OC's & the real life impacts of inbreeding)
