#this guy also just doesn't excist

[loojii]

Constellations as blue aliens! I made these last year, only uploaded them on Patreon Aquila, Cygnus, Pavo, Canis Minor, Canis Major, Boötos, Minor Leo, Lepus, Lupus, Cetus, Centaurus, Orion

For more info about them see the lore dump under the line ~

Aquila the eagle constellation. A myth tied to the constellation tells about Zeus, who transformed himself into an eagle, and kidnaps a pretty boy to be the cup bearer of the Gods. This boy was of course Aquarius. So the characters are friends! Or well, Aquila pressures Aquarius into doing dumb stuff and Aquarius can't say no (in a way kidnapping him for a good time). Aquila's outfit is based on an eagle as well, with white on top and dark on the bottom. He, and other bird constellations, have feather like hair! He is the younger brother of Cygnus and Pavo, and the older brother of Columba and Corvus (they're a big bird family!)

Cygnus the swan constellation. A myth tied to the constellation is that about Zeus, who again transformed. He got a woman pregnant and from that a set of twins were born, one mortal and one immortal. The twin being Gemini, of course. So the character here is best friends with Gemini (she seems to be the only one that is able to handle him). Since Gemini's alpha and beta star are actually the twins, she often visits them and favors Pollux, the immortal twin from the myth. She's like a fun aunt! Another myth tells about a lover being lost or something, drowned in the river depicted by the constellation Eridanus. So she probably doesn't like her that much.

Pavo the peacock constellation. One of the myths tied to the constellation tells about a monster with many eyes that was able to act as a spy for Hera. As a thank you she put his eyes on the peacock feather and the monster himself in the sky. The constellation also depicts the captain of a ship, who are also depicted by several constellations. I don't know what to do with that part yet for this character, maybe those constellations admire Pavo as a teacher? But as for the spy part; this guy obviously loves gossip and always knows everything about everyone. He is the oldest of the bird siblings!

Canis Minor the lesser dog constellation. In the sky the dog is seen hunting Lepus, together with Canis Major and Orion. So all three of them, the characters, dislike her of course! He is always seen hanging out with Orion, following him around and being his yes-man. He's the younger brother of Canis Major naturally

Canis Major the dog constellation. Another yes-man of Orion. I like to take inspiration from myths and science when it comes to their personality / relationships but sometimes I just go by vibes too. And what I feel is that Canis Major gets awfully flustered when Ursa Major is around (yes its solely based on the fact that both of them are the only ones with Major in their name). He does not know how to deal with her overly friendly demeaner and gets kinda angry

Boötos the herdsman constellation. In the myth tied to this constellation a herdsman was killed due to his bad whinemaking skills and his daugther and dog moarned him so much that they died too. The daughter was seen as Virgo and the dog as Canis Major. So the characters are friends! Boötos also has Canes Venatici (the hunting dogs constellation, no design yet) next to him, but the reason that constellation doesn't take on the role of the dog in the myth is because it was first known as Bo's staff. So that character would also be friends with him of course! Maybe part of the dog family? But I'm not sure yet. Boötes has multiple friends but he especially adores Virgo, in his eyes he can do nothing wrong and is the depiction of perfection. Many see Virgo that way but Bo is just a bit more extreme about it. The constellation is also seen hunting Ursa Major in the sky, so maybe they don't have a good relationship?

Minor Leo the lesser lion constellation. I was actually unaware this constellation excisted until I did this project. He is Leo's biggest fan and follows him around. Despite the name they are not related, they're just great buddies! The constellation at one point was planned to be changed into the lioness constellation, but eventually this didn't catch on. So this guy here is sometimes mistaken for a girl!

Lepus the hare constellation. In the sky the hare is seen being hunted by Orion and his two hunting dogs (Canis Major and Minor). So this character of course hates them. She's very quick on her feet and tries to outdone Orion every time she can.

Lupus the wolf constellation. The wolf is also being hunted in the sky, this time by Centaurus. So he dislikes him as well. But he's almost always silent and hangs out with Lepus a lot. It has nothing to do with their myths or anything. They just have similar names and are both being hunted, so I declared them buddies. Lepus always knows what Lupus means, without saying a word, and they are often spotted hanging out (Lupus following Lepus around)

Cetus the whale constellation. Cetus is the unofficial 14th zodiac sign, having the sun in its constellation for just one day. To represent this Cetus (the character) is engaged to Sagittarius, to one day become part of the Zodiac family (but he said yes when they were children and doesn't want to anymore, because who in thei right mind regocnizes Cetus as a Zodiac sign). The myth tied to Cetus is that of a sea monster who only came out of the sea to eat a beautiful maiden. Cetus (the character) is very insecure and never leaves her house. She's the big sis of Ophiuchus, the 13th Zodiac sign

Centaurus the centaur constellation. No, it's not Sagittarius. Both Sagittarius and Centaurus are depicted as centaurs in the sky and because of that their myths are sometimes mistaken for one another. So this guy here is very often mistaken for Sagittarius. But he's taller, better looking, stronger, more mature, etc. The myths of Centaurus go crazy and he's literly tied to everyone. In the discord server theres the ongoing joke that Centaurus is actually the main character. So this guy is just a very popular guy that everyone (excepts Sagittarius, who hates him with the might of 30 suns) likes! He is actually nice and unaware of Sagittarius hatred. Lupus, the wolf constellation, also doesn't like him but he's not as vocal about it as Sagittarius.

Orion the hunter constellation. Orion's myth he was a great hero who was defeated by a little scorpion. He and the scorpion were put in the sky but he's still avoiding the scorpion till this day (they are never seen in the same sky). The scorpion in question is of course Scorpio. Orion (the character) absolutely hates Scorpio and avoids him at all costs. He is seen hunting a hare (Lepus) in the sky together with his two hunting dogs (Canis Major and Minor). So this character of course is buddies with the two dogs and they all hate Lepus.

Hello! Can I plz ask for the ROTTMNT brothers (separately) react to their s/o being cute and innocent? Like they love watching animated movies, become a blushing mess if there's a kissing scene or in real life, love to draw, cook/bake, and dance, also are curious about everything. Oh, and they don't understand dirty jokes and if someone curses they put a hand over their mouth and look flabbergasted. They also are shorter than them and have small hands.

THIS IS GONNA BE SO CUTE I'M CRYING!!

RISE BOY'S WITH AN INNOCENT S/O

Mikey:

Oh mi gosh,

You two are the most wholesome couple this side of anywhere.

Literally two peas in a pod.

Disney movies every movie night,

You bake together,

You draw together,

And he loves watching you dance around.

One of your favorite things to do is to walk around the city at night,

Just to see what you'll find.

He loves how easily flustered you are,

He thinks it's just the cutest!

Mikey thinks it's hilarious how shocked you get when someone swears.

You'd think someone just killed your grandmother!

The first time it happened is a treasured memory for the whole family.

Leo had fallen off his skateboard and smacked his face on the ground.

"Shit!"

*Le gasp* "Language! Oh my gosh!"

Everyone just kinda looked at you then started laughing.

Mikey loves how much shorter than him you are.

I mean sure, it's only a few inches,

But he likes to rest his head ontop of your's.

Leo loves to make "That's what she said" jokes around you,

Mikey hates it,

He's scared you'll lose your innocence.

But everytime Leo goes, "That's what she said!"

You'll just look at him and say, "That's what who said? Who is 'She'? And why won't anyone tell me for gosh sake??"

"I'll tell you when you're older Cutie Pie."

You and Mikey are literally the sweetest couple, like, ever!

Donnie:

He finds your innocence impressive.

With the excistence of the internet,

He assumed there were no innocent teenagers left.

But you are on a whole new level of innocent.

And he thinks it's adorable.

Donnie does his best to shield you from Leo's jokes,

Because he is not about to let you be ruined by his brothers' crude sense of humor.

So imagine his surprise when you come ask him what one of these jokes mean.

He looks at you,

Then sighs,

You look at him confused as he stands up and grabs his tech bo

"NARDO!"

*Que screaches of fear*

Donnie loves that you dance too.

You guys have small disco parties every Saturday night.

He also loves how naturally curious you are,

Because it usually leads to him answering your endless questions about a ceratain topic.

But he doesn't mind.

He likes it when you ask him questions.

He also thinks its adorable how easily you get flustered.

Especially when it's over something as little as a movie scene.

He will tease you,

Just to fluster you even more.

And holy truffle mac & cheese,

You're so small!!

He has a habbit of resting his elbow on your head.

Kinda like how he leans on his tech bo.

You'll usually wave him off, and grab his hand instead.

Raph:

Raph loves your innocent nature.

It just plays into how sweet you are,

And Raph loves him some sugar.

He's more than happy to participate in your hobbies,

Especially if it means you're trying to teach him something new.

You just look so cute when you're concetrating!

Like Donnie,

He does his best to keep you from Leo's awful jokes,

And like you,

He isn't very fond of swearing.

He'll act just as flabberghasted as you if one of his brothers were to swear.

Like, ExCuSE mE??

WaTcH YoUr MouTh YoUnG MaN!

Now when it comes to how much smaller you are than him,

It really depends on the day for how he feels about it.

On the one hand,

You are so tiny and adorable and he could just hug you for hours like holy crap.

Then on the other hand,

He is terrified he'll hurt you.

Human skin is just so friggin fragile,

And he doesn't want to be the reason you're in pain.

Just make sure your sweet self reassures him,

He'll get over it pretty quick with your help.

Leo:

Oh my god, this boy teases you endlessly.

His favorite thing ever is to make you all flustered and stuff.

Whenever you two watch movies together he'll always pick some cheesy romance flick,

Just so he can watch you hide your face in your shirt whenever something romantic happens.

Leo loves baking with you.

Even if he's only allowed to watch.

(He set the kitchen on fire the last time he tried to actually help and in turn was perma banned from cooking.)

He likes trying all the sweet treats you bake up for everyone.

He also enjoys making jokes he knows you won't understand,

Because you look so cute when you're confused,

Your face gets all scrunched up while you try to figure out the joke,

And to him it's the cutest thing in the world.

Leo likes it when you freak out over swearing,

He thinks its funny.

You'll fan yourself with your hand all taken aback.

And your voice goes up an octave when you adress it,

"PARdon me?"

"I said fuck, (Name)."

"LANGUAGE!"

*Wheeze*

Writing Pattern Tag Game

Picking this up from @bunnakit 'cause it looks like fun!

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 8 posted fics + 1 that's on the way and 1 that's an original story and see if there’s a pattern.

I'm cheating a bit, because I am excluding the ones from a fandom I am no longer comfortable with and if I included more from the Luca Knows series we'd just get a whole lot of "Luca knows..." which would skew the results. Also, I thought it'd be interesting to add in an original one, to see if I do it the same way as with fics.

I like you.  My Personal Weatherman, Mizuki/Yoh, WIP - No title yet.

“Damn it, what’s wrong with the zipper?!” The Sign, Phaya/Tharn, Held.

Luca has not set foot in a church for many years. Vincenzo, Vincenzo/Luca, Confessione (Luca Knows The Sins He Lives)

Phaya is loud.  The Sign, Phaya/Tharn, Quiet Things.

The guy in front of Prom wasn’t Nant.  Playboyy The Series, Prom/Nont, Not Nant.

“How about we go to my place? We can have a pool party.” Only Friends The Series, Boeing/Sand/Ray, Pool Party.

Luca knows what he desires. Vincenzo, Vincenzo/Luca, Colpa (Luca Knows What He Desires.)

Luca knows he shouldn’t pity traitors. Vincenzo, Vincenzo/Luca, Il Diavolo (Luca Knows He Shouldn't Pity Traitors)

Luca knows the role of the consigliere. Vincenzo, Vincenzo/Luca, Consigliere (The Role That Luca Knows)

There was a body hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the Grand Temple.  Lucien Villamonte, original writing, doesn't excist anywhere but in my brain and my google docs.

Patterns?

starting with dialogue

short sentences that introduce the topic of the story/chapter

starts in the middle of things

starting with a set phrase to tie together pieces that are connected (in this case a series of one shots)

I feel like I once read one of those "How to start a story" / "How to hook a reader" -guides, and then just made that my default setting for how to get a story going.

I do know that I used to always, without fail, start with a description of the setting - and then someone pointed it out, and I realised that I should switch things up a bit. So I guess this is what I switched to?

Side note, but my resolution to branch out and write for different fandoms is starting to yield results!

@ristique-xy tagging you if you want to do it, but no preassure!

@overthinkthis go, go, go! :D

[permettez-moi]

The burning bridge audiobook thinkies:

So you are telling me that in the burning bridge alone, we discover Halt has not only tossed a baron into the moat, but he also yeeted Gilan in the river before making him his apprentice, I fear that's where it started (or maybe he's dealing with his past trauma xD)

Also the fact that Halt basically yeeted the baron in the moat bc he missed Will so much

Halt admitting that his grim face is trained 'cultivated over the years'

The reader of the audiobook reads Alyss as al-iece/ al-is / al-ise (he kind of drawls out the 'yss' part of her name, instead of saying Alice, which is how I say it in my head, which is therefor the only correct way, so it hurts my ears

ALYSS BRINGING UP THE MOAT INCIDENT

HAHAHAH I'M DYING TO THE FACT THAT ALYSS BASICALLY SAID SHE'S SCARED WILL WILL TURN OUT LIKE HALT (grim and silent) (also the fact that, when Alyss died Will did turn so brb crying)

I am obsessed with Gil fangirling about Horace's swordmanship

OMG OMG OMG the scene where Halt and Alyss are out to convince that one absolute asshole of a baron(?) To hand over troops to Arald, because he has refused before, claiming independence from Redmond fief, and he is being a misogynistic shit, and Halt steps up, SAYING HE IS TO ADRESS ALYSS AS 'LADY ALYSS' AND NOT AS GIRL OR SWEETHEART OMMGGGG I AM FANGIRLING SO MUCH, MY HEARTBEAT GOT RAISED FROM THIS

I am dying please help

THE BOOK STATES THAT HALTS BOW IS 60 KG, AND BECAUSE HE HAS TO DRAW IT OFTEN AND EASILY, HIS ARM PROLLY HOLD A LOT MORE STRENGTH THAN THAT, AND I GENUINELY DON'T MEAN THIS IN A HOE WAY, BUT I WEIGH BETWEEN 60-70 KG MEANING HALT COULD PICK ME UP WITH EASE, AND IT IS DOING THINGS TO ME

3 people. Halt has, so far, tossed 3 people in moats. I always thought it was just the one guy. (And Gil isn't technically a moat, but I am counting it)

Let's not talk about Halt kind of crushing on Alyss after she kisses him on the cheek. Let's just pretend it doesn't excist

EVANLYN EVANLYN EVANLYN

Not Gil saying he'll hang the bandits

Okay okay, hear me out, Evanlyn/Gil (or Cas/Gil)

Poor Duncan thinking Cassie is dead makes me cry

Crying again at Duncan discovering Cassie is still alive

The small detail that Arald, too, was sad about Will being kidnapped

Halt crying about Will

Okay but Gil seeing Horace's move with the dagger before anyone else is a really fun detail

Morgarath is called insane here, and I think it really works

RODNEY SCREAMING TO LIL BABY HORACE BC HE'S AL WORRIED AND UPSEt

The scene at the boat between Halt and Will is being listened to in class, and my emotions are very hard to contain

Help I finished it already, but it's like €10 for each book, and they're only about 10h of listening time, which is approximately a full school day (I listend while I work) and when I tell you I don't have to money for this 😭😭 (any of you know where I can 'loan' the books read by William Zappa?)

[thesunfyre4446]

But also ..I can't take seriously who act like their HC is canon and who want Alicent entire excistence to ber about her ''situationship''

The hate for Alicole is not even because it contradicts Lesbian!Alicent or hate for Criston himself ,but the possibility of Ali caring romatically or having very deep friendship with someone else instead of Nyra is not okay for them.

And it's even more wild if you think about how Rhaenicent is meant to be a tragedy ship ,one that is good because the last drops of love are toxic and obsessive .So making Alicent trying to reach out to Nyra is not only it's so damn occ ,but it misses the point of the ship ,at least in this universe (though i don't know if Rhaenyra and Alicent actually work) .

And they are the ones that ,in the name of ''showing how much motherhood is hard'' make Ali hates her kids and abandom them .

But that principle doesn't apply to Rhaenyra .Because she is ''the perfect mother'' and ''her kids are amazining'' ,so she doesn't have to abandom them.

Sorry for the rant ,i just felt like you understod .

AND THAT anon was truly an ass and i hope you never have to interact to people like that ever again.

(Love your posts ,btw)

awwww thank you!!!!

yeah this fandom has a huge problem separating HC from canon. HC and ships are fun. ship what you like! that's the whole point of being in a fandom! but the problem is when people start to attack other people for not having the same opinions, and can't separate HC from the actual show \ book.

alicent loves her children and at the end of the day, even if she was in love with rhaenyra when they were young, they've spent the last 20 years being enemies. like... come on guys. alicent never even considered putting rhaenyra over her own children. and why should she? they are her children, and rhaenyra has been her enemy for the past 2 decades.

Rhaenicent is an interesting ship. and i'm not against it. but as an alicent fan, i really hate the "alicent only loves & lives for queen rhaenyra's sake" take.

yeah that anon was.... upsetting. thank you ;)

[sillyname30]

I just listened to the latest episode of and that's what you really missed on Glee. They had 2 of the dancers as guests which was a bit of a problem for me. I didn't know who was talking most of the time. If I just write dancer, it's no disrespect. I just don't know who is talking.

Brittany became an assistent choreography during the course of the show. She taught choreography before, but never considered it a career up to that.

Dancer: It was the time of my life. Truely. There was no better gig.

Dancer: You were always the kindest, sweetest with us and supported us.

Dancer: That's where we got some of our confidence from you guys.

What is the feeling Glee leaves you with?

Dancer 1: First what comes to mind is love. I think also because I was at the other side too. Not only becoming friends with you all. With watching you all and then reading the script and then dancing with my best friends. That is so rare.

Dancer 2: It was a coming of age time for all of us. And what an incredible environment to do that again. And it really set the stage for how we all grew up to adults and learning what a loving workplace is supposed to feel like. That feeling of family doesn't always excist. A truely magical time.

[covenlegacy]

I don't think that pure love even excists. At least between two adult people. Maybe between children and parents. Unconditional type (sometimes, not always). What do I actually do? We don't just give our heart to any asshole that we meet. Most of them are not even worth our time to open up about one issue or emotion. It's usually not difficult to sense who doesn't want to listen to you. Most of time, I can't even finish my sentence,not to mention someone listening or caring what I say. Nobody is interested in it so I share my views online. Besides, I was always making most of people dislike me without trying. They don't get my opinions, my behavior and they often show dislike even if I don't do anything wrong. That's why I detached from people because they're acting like jerks.

You meet what you need at the moment, or what you want. And if you met an asshole, think about what you want and why. Usually it's because you lack drama/strong emotions in life. You're looking for them in people/guys. Unconditional love and the fact that it is pure and so on and so on is also a myth. To find a middle ground between the fact that you want to find a person to whom you can open your soul and who will accept you as you are - and the fear that if you open up, a horse will be brought there. And the fact that you can meet such a person is a fact. But the fact that everyone will be assholes is not a fact. But you can just cultivate the confidence that you will meet him, and the fucking attitude is not yours.

[dontyouknowemma-itsyou]

Perfect, I already know the entire family tree of the Dutch royal family.
