Break the Barriers.

Centuries ago a god was sealed in chains for breaking down the boundary between life and death, banished from his family for the rest of eternity for a betrayal never planned.

Who would’ve thought such a feat would cause the barrier to break further?

All it took was a standard harvest ritual and a very experimental lamb.

The large lush farmlands were quite the sight compared to what those in the village had experienced prior, food never a shortage, never withheld even when misbehaviors occurred.

But it could never hold a candle to the gardens, oh for they were the shepherd’s greatest joy.

A weeping Willow stood tall in the center, a beautiful stone statue of a lamb before it, moss and lichen grew up the sides. A testament to how long ago the gift had been given.

Camellias grew around, their height evident of the gentle care the Shepherd had given them, branches bending and twisting with each careful dance. Not tied to one color they grew in shades of reds to whites.

Hooven hands grew green with lichen during the festivals, just as pawed hands became tainted with red. Crowns rest upon their head, one of annoyance, one of joy.

Hands intertwined as music played, the leaders, the gods. A celebration. One of love and joy, of binding and beauty, of life and death no longer being able to separate two lovers.

Town a buzz, garlands hung from the lights, a table of food. Loud cheers, excited laughter, and music played by the wood worker’s makeshift band. The happy couple in a daze, blinded by all the chaos in their midst unable to notice the missing pair.

Their rings were awfully dull compared to the newly weds, not even proper. A black shackle on a horn, a small Camellia on the ear.

Yet when the two found themselves alone, all else seemed forgotten.

Hearts beat in one, the distant chatter becoming white noise, the hurt that blinds them so left behind. For now they were as happy as a bride and groom.

He of death.

They of life.

Me and my friend just started episode 3 of season 3 of invincible today

And we were immediately captivated by the wordless montage of moments in magmaniac and tether tyrant’s life together

So I head to TikTok bc there’s no way we are the only people to be obsessed with this

And it turns out we are the only people there are no edits no one’s talking about it

[aru-art]

been on an oc redesign kick. this is incomprehensible to anyone but me and like 2 other people probably. hi tim if ur reading this

[chiimeramanticore]

Please god give me some ipod facts i NEED this

ok admittedly im not THAT insane abt ipods yet (but give me a month or two and i might be) but im kindasorta getting into collecting them so i wanna talk abt the little bit ive learned from that

i started out looking for gen 4 nanos bc i had an orange one as a kid (which i tried to get back from my parents but apparently they threw it away. rip) i wound up getting this listing for two ipods- one silver nano and one pink shuffle, bc they were dirt cheap overall BUT the seller v clearly didnt know anything abt ipods so it was a gamble

the nano worked! but only when plugged in cuz i guess the battery's too old. which is a shame bc it's otherwise in perfect condition, it's not even scratched anywhere. the shuffle worked even better, but it was pink and that's like the one color i didnt want an ipod in lmao. i named it breakfast bc it's pink and then i immediately got attached to it lmao

i wound up sending breakfast to packtion since they wanted to try an ipod too, and also bc i had ordered a second nano already dkfghk. this one works near perfectly (the hold switch is kinda busted but whatever) AND it's purple. which is my favorite color but it's also specifically my favorite ipod nano color bc depending on the lighting it can often look more blue than purple and i think that's a sick optical illusion. this one is named nova, and it's become my go-to for music listening now. i havent named the silver one bc im hoping i can sell it but nobody seems interested in my broken ass son sadly lol

anyway here's all 3 of them. family photo

ok now here's a fun fact for you since you read this far. apparently the ipod nano is like The Worst ipod to collect, especially gen 4 dkfhgk it's mostly because nanos are extremely hard to mod/repair given how small they are, so a lot of issues that can spring up w age aren't considered worth the effort to fix. this means if you have an ipod that's busted, it's an uphill battle to get it fixed, and also if you're searching for one online you have to keep an eye out for signs it might be broken. also since theyre so tiny if the battery inside swells even a tiny bit the screen starts getting fucked up bc it's already pressing against it lmao. sickly ass devices but theyre adorable so im gonna buy 80 more of them

very emo thinking about how bob probably only had one deployment before tgm and mickey probably had like two (if i stick with him being 27). like? they were straight up babies asked to fly what was essentially a suicide mission. jake pretending bob didn't exist makes a lot more sense (on top of him being an asshole just in general). and also? how the hell did nat feel flying with someone she not only didn't know but was also so green??? this stupid movie robbed me of fun character exploration

A very very dumb Apothecary diaries AU where Lakan checks in on Fengxian before he leaves finds out she's pregnant. She can't go with him or marry him yet but instead while he goes abroad to study she stays with Luomen helping him set up pharmacy after he's cast out from his family.

She and Lakan stay in regular contact through letters, both of them gushing over letters only for someone top look over their shoulders and see letter is only a move in go They're playing long distance each letter is just the next move. At least until Maomao is born the Fengxian includes scribble drawings Maomao does or hand prints...Lakan office and room are full all walls covered in them.

The two reunite and although they live with La clan and Lakan gets headship but they still visit Luoman and the visit Verdigris house (Madame still hastes Lakan but they send good business recommending them to high ranking officials). So Maomao still has her big sisters and still learns about medicine and poison from Luomen.

She still tests on herself , Lakan freaks out but Fengxian trusts her daughter just makes sure they have plenty of antivenom and antidotes ( Basically every room in the LA family state has an emergency draw for if Maomao has had poison again)

Maomao doesn't get kidnapped, she ends up in rear palace because consort Ah-Dou she can see that Lishu is struggling she can't intervene or protect her within her own court so she contacts Fenxian who she's met at functions other the years.

Ah-Dou- Fengxian you have a daughter correct. Is she as terrifying as you?

Fenxian: Of course

Ah-Dou: May I please request a favor?

Maomao enters Lishu's court not as a noble but as a lady in waiting (and the food tester, it's how she agreed to it)

Maomao: Do I really need to go into court I want to make medicine

Fengxian: You will be testing food for poison

Maomao:....deal

She of course see's the bullying in the court and instantly Nopes, she does totally overhaul terrifying Lishu's ladies in waiting and getting rid of them, she spends time around other servants and ends up recruiting other servants as new ladies in waiting ones who will actually care for and protect Lishu. Full big sister Maomao mode with Lishu.

She keeps an eye on other departments dressing as a maid while moving around to avoid suspicion and still see's the confrontation between Gyokuyo and Lishu and sends the messages with torn dress (She didn't get chance to change and couldn't go into their pavilions in her lady in waiting clothes)

She gets dragged in the room with other maids also, she kinda gets stuck and pulled in and meets Gyokuyo having to admit so sorry can't be your lady in waiting already Lishu's. Jinshi suddenly puts together about the totally change in ladies in waiting and promotion of other servants. Jinshi is very curious but Maomao is able to divert attention.

Gyokuyo still wants to see Maomao and so she moves between both her and Lishu and gets Lishu to spend more time with Gyokuyo the two getting along well.

She also helps Lihua as before and then she is basically going between 3 of them and the 3 consorts spend time together... Lihua and Gyokuyo figure out who Moamao is but they're not saying they want to keep Maomao around and also they are all shipping Jinmao and enjoying watching this soap opera.

The banquet happens but Maomao is of course Lishu's food tester not Gyokuyo's but none of the old ladies in waiting are there to bully Lishu and swap bowls so Moamao still gets poison. (She 100% tried to get to test food for all 3 consorts ... they didn't let her)

Lakan still trolls Jinshi because he's seen letters Ah-Dou and others sent Fengxian keeping her updated and is suspicious about Jinshi and his precious daughter. (Fengxian and Jinshi are planning the wedding already)

When Maomao is still dismissed after the poisoning is revealed and Jinshi is super upset and sulky until fancy banquet and high ranking personnel and then sees Maomao again as daughter of head of La clan...

Maomao: I suppose you are upset than I hide my identity

Jinshi:...

Jinshi:Yes very upset (he says hypothetically ignoring looks he is getting form the emperor and Gaoshun)

She still comes back to rear place (The consorts missed her so much... plus they have a betting pool... a lot of people are in it Fengxian has a board plotting moves so the 2 get together when she's bet...while Lakan is pouting in corner that no one deserves their baby girl)

(Light Novel spoilers

Lahan is raised as Maomao's brother and adores his sister, the two are chaos gremlins her making medicines and him plotting how to self and market them

He is also adored by Verdegris house the beloved little brother... also everyone is pretty sure he and Maomao are twins they know there was only 1 baby but... they're sure the 2 are siblings.

The madame also adores him both coming up with schemes for money and he happily does the accounting when they visit (they're sure he's her favorite)

When Jinshi sees them together before knowing they're related he thinks the 2 might be a couple, Gaoshun is face palming and despairing while the courtesans are losing it laughing)

sub l&ds men visuals

— so....my first time doing this type of post but. i need to spread my femdom agenda. guys the 13 sub LI drafts i have on my account WILL see the light of my page one day i promise 😭 in the meanwhile have this...also u need to be logged into twt to see most of these!!

— nasty freaky twitter porn with tiny blurbs. mostly focused on pegging, bondage, or overstimulation. ur strap is occasionally referred to as cock. i hope my fellow freaks enjoy, love u all mwah mwah <3

the first time you had suggested pegging to zayne, you hadn't expected him to be so...okay with it. of course, there was a bit of convincing needed, but as a doctor, he had both the medical knowledge and money for preparation — you seemed to want it so badly, after all. he just didn't expect how much he'd like it.

— he's completely gone

— he's completely gone pt. 2

— fucking himself onto you

— extra ; helping him destress after work (pls he's even wearing the same fuckass outfit)

rafayel had been one hell of a brat the entire week, teasing you by sending pictures of himself dolled up for you, sending voice messages of him whining and moaning for your cock, and even going as far as to sending videos of him playing with himself, all during your precious work hours.

— "this pretty toy is all for you to use."

— "please cutie, come home already. can't you see how much my cock misses you?"

— "you can make me feel better than this dumb vibrator."

finally free from work on the weekend, you show him the consequences of his actions.

— whining and crying already, when this was just the beginning of his punishment?

— being tortured stupid

you took it upon yourself to break down sylus. always somehow so irritatingly composed, you tried so many different ways to have him openly submit to you, when all you had to do was take the lead in bed. now was that tricky? yes. was having him moaning and letting you take control something you would trade entire universes for? also yes!!!!

— getting his ass fucked by you is more relaxing than he'd like to admit

— the more intimate the moment, the louder he moans for you

— seeing how far you could push him until he breaks

— roleplay; he's being a brat (he's mostly an obedient sub, he just wanted to feel how you would fuck him if he wasn't)

since xavier had long since gotten into the habit of waking you up with sex, it's only natural that it catches onto you as well.

— he's always just so sensitive when it comes to you

— morning handjob (this is sooo intimate subby xavier im in love)

— fucking him awake

— extra ; THIS IS SO HIM AHHHHH

multiple scenarios for caleb bc i can't think of one specific story to follow with videos...

— no-touch is the worst punishment for him :(

— but there's just something so addicting about it (sado-masochist switch much?)

— he could break out of the cuffs so easily, but the look on your face as you torture his cock is too sweet of a reward

— extra ; the shit he sends you

I love a fic where Steve is hiding that he's an Omega, but I also think it would be incredibly funny if he wasn't trying to hide it at all and everyone just assumes he's an Alpha for no reason.

He presents and has a party like he always planned. He invites all his friends and he kind of expects them to be dicks about it but they just...aren't. They celebrate and put him on their shoulders and parade around and Steve doesn't even realize that they don't know.

He only realizes everyone thinks he's an Alpha when Tommy tries to set him up with a nice Omega girl two weeks later. It's not completely unheard of for someone to date someone of the opposite primary or secondary gender - or both - but it's definitely not the kind of thing Tommy would endorse.

Steve kind of gets it, he's got a warm sandalwood-heavy scent and he's tall and built out from sports, but he's kind of offended. He likes being an Omega and is actually really excited to have a mate and kids of his own that he can carry himself someday. He's been working on perfecting his nesting skills in case any Alphas or Betas, maybe even another Omega, ask to court soon. He wants to have a perfect nest to show them, but it's looking like that won't be happening until he gets out of Hawkins.

He tries a couple of times to tell the guys he's actually an Omega, but everyone just brushes him off, laughs at his dumb joke, and moves on. He figures that they'll notice when he doesn't try to court any Omegas, but enough of them spread rumors about getting with King Steve that he's always too slow to refute that everyone thinks he's some hotshot Alpha sleeping around without courting first.

If only he looked up to notice how hard local Freak Alpha, Eddie Munson, has been staring at him since he presented.

I'm super busy tomorrow so here is my early submission for @stmarchmm Day 21: Pretending to be a different designation

[lukie17]

Alpha!Caleb

Me? In love with Caleb? Who said that?

Alpha!Caleb who was afraid to be near you when you were in heat. Barely able to control himself to not mark you and make you his.

Alpha!Caleb who scared other alphas away because you deserved the best and no one fitted that profile. Who secretly scented you so nowhere dared to get close, enough to scare others but enough to still be respectful.

Alpha!Caleb who ran away from home when first rut him because he was afraid of not being able to resist your scent. Who was over the moon that you jumped into his arms when he returned home. Caleb could not remember the words you used to describe him, all he could picture was your body pressed against his.

Alpha!Caleb who is a golden retriever around you but a freaking wolf whenever another alpha tried to court you. His eyes shined brightly when he looked at you, but bared his fangs at other alphas. Caleb, who has been deeply smitten with you that there is no other omega in the world.

Alpha!Caleb who almost fell into a depression when he had to fake his own death and be apart from you. Agonizing at the thought of you being marked by another alpha while he was gone. Who came back to life when you told him that he would be your only alpha.

Alpha!Caleb's patience had snapped the moment his fangs found your neck. His dumb smile that never would fade away whenever his see his mark on you. Who marked you multiple times because he could not resist you.

Alpha!Caleb who realized that his rut and your heat should never synchronize, again, if the both of you wanted to be functional members of society. Who felt guilty after acting like a beast and felt disappointed in himself, only to be cheered up by your reassurance: that you liked him the way he was.

Alpha!Caleb who had to make sure that you were taken care of every single need, Caleb who was the alpha and will provide for you in anyway. His money? Yours. His Fleet? Also yours. His heart? Darling, that had been yours from the very beginning.

Alpha!Caleb who was over the moon the moment you told him that you are having triplets. His mind is already working on the house that his omega and his offspring would live. And he would be damned if he didn't build that house with his own hands.

#Man I want a clone language #Something similar to amatakka or something #Please someone teach me how to create a language #And a culture #I beg you #All I want is big brother rex sing to his adorable little baby brothers in a super cool clone language <- OP's tags

Me: *Breathing heavily, shaking with anticipation to talk all about my ideas for a clone Galactic Basic-Mando'a Creole language with hundreds of words and phrase unique to clones that could not easily exist in other languages and is clone culture specific*

Me: *Remembers my pages of notes on an original clone sign language that becomes one of the main languages used in clone society in my AU and is a part of everyday language and I'm so proud of it*

Me: *Shaking like a maraca*

Okay, so I've read lots of fics where the clones speak mando'a, and actually I kind of liked the idea. But it's come to bother me that I get more and more of the feeling that the clones are presented as mandalorians and not their own culture.

The main problem I see is, that the clones aren't viewed as sentient life by most people, especially the kaminoans and their trainers, who, at the beginning of the whole cloning process, were nearly only mandalorians. Of course there were a few people like f.e. Kal skirata, who, if I remember correctly, actually adopted a bunch of clones, but let's be honest, that's not the case with most of the other trainers and especially not the kaminoans.

So, I've thought about it and I believe that it's not that improbable that the clones actually picked up quite a few words of mando'a. Maybe a few of the older clones were even thought a bit by some of the nicer mandalorian trainers. And imagine a few little clone cadets hearing those mandos talk in their own language - of course they'd want to learn it and share it with their brothers.

But most mandalorians that are on kamino don't even like the clones and definitely don't accept them as some of their own culture. So using mando'a in front of them could be dangerous and be punished. Talking your mind freely was dangerous enough as it is. The clones weren't supposed to have too much of their own free will, after all.

So they start developing their own words, their own language. It could be inspired by mando'a, but not too much. Because they weren't mandalorians, they weren't accepted by those people. They weren't accepted by anyone but their own brothers.

Not to mention that it was something of their own. Something they could claim and cling to and that belonged to only them when not even their own bodies and especially not their future belonged to themselves.

So in the middle of the night, after a too long, too painful training session, the clones would lie side by side with their brothers and comfort each other with their own words. Words that weren't used day by day to make them feel small and helpless, but words that were spoken softly and in a comforting and loving way.

The clones would also start developing their own sign language very early on. Not the classical military hand signs or something like bsl or asl or something, more like little movements of their heads and fingers. Maybe they'd use something similar to morse code as well.

They were mostly supervised and talking in your own language would be the worst thing you could do. None of the nat borns, especially none on kamino, could know, how much of their own free will they had. They'd risk being reconditioned for it.

So the clones would mostly communicate with very subtle signs. They grow more and more perceptive, especially when it comes to their brothers. For outsiders it might even look like they're barely moving a muscle while they have a full conversation going on.

The spoken language would be reserved for the few times they aren't directly supervised. Maybe older clones would cheer up the younger ones, that they find secretly crying and grieving, after yet another brother has been decommissioned for a stupid reason. They'd whisper softly to them in their own words - not the nat borns words. Never.

Some of the bolder clones might whisper in secret while in the mess hall and eating the same tasteless rations they've eaten for all of their cursed existence.

They'd develop stories to tell each other whenever possible. Stories that are of parents and their children, of flowers and trees, of funny animals that run around on wide fields and high mountains, stories of freedom. Of all the things they didn't have, but wished they did.
