#this isn't really lore either but

[guppygiggles]

I've really had a bee in my bonnet about this today, so... Here's a short fic with ler!Avery. /////

I might develop this into a longer story at some point, and I am definitely going to draw something for it, because I'm already almost done with the sketch.

Fair warning: I normally write a lot of lead-up and take time to set a scene. I didn't do that, here... This is very indulgent, hah. There's a little bit of ice play, restraints, and subtle medical theming. No other warnings apply. Enjoy!

“Avery, put me-

DAAAAHAHAOWN!” I squealed as his gentle fingers pressed into my sides again, issuing another brief flurry of tweaks along my flanks. Held aloft by ghostly fingers clamped around my wrists and ankles, I could do nothing but glower into his smirking face. 

“That big grin is taking all the venom out of your glare, you know,” he teased, sweeping a few strands of hair behind my hot ear. I twitched with sensitivity, shaking my head as I choked back a giggle. A glint in his eye told me that he caught it, too. 

“When you asked me to help in your lab, I didn't think using me as a test subject was what you had in mi-EEEEEE!” My screech echoed off the walls of his basement laboratory as he pulled my shirt forward, unceremoniously rubbing a smooth piece of ice across my bare tummy. “That's cold! What was that for?!”

“I'm curious… Does cold make humans more ticklish?” 

I flushed. Oh, god… 

“N-no, it doesn't, I assure you it doesn't, Avery- waitwaitWAHAHAAHAHAIT!” All ten of his soft, chilly fingertips scribbled into my belly, forcing an embarrassingly gleeful laugh from me. With his hands still under my shirt, it tickled with an intensity that caught me off guard. I squirmed, but the cloud-hands securing my limbs held fast as they suspended me in midair. 

“I hate to break this to you, but… that did not sound as distressed as I bet you were hoping it would,” he noted, picking up his clipboard and pen. 

“Oh, don't pretend like you're taking notes! Come on, you know the ice had nothing to do with it. You already know I'm… um…”

He scrawled something, then paused, pen still touching paper as he turned his attention back to me. He raised an eyebrow, tilting his head forward to leer over the rim of his glasses. 

“Already know what…?”

I pressed my lips together; I'd already said too much. I turned my head away as I felt my flush creep down my neck, but as he set the clipboard down again, I knew he wasn't going to let that go. It was all I could do to suppress a whimper. 

“Is there something you'd like to admit… test subject~?” His grin was downright evil, now. 

I tried to steel myself, but I couldn't even meet his eyes as he lifted his hand, slipping a couple silky fingertips under my chin. Tucking my head forward only resulted in him scampering his digits along my jawline instead, giggling at my attempt to impede him. I laughed in ticklish futility, my shoulders trembling. 

“N-Nohoho!” 

“Are you sure…?” 

He scribbled from my jawline, down my neck… and then both sets of digits nestled into my armpits, gently scritching over the soft fabric of my t-shirt. 

“GEEEEE-! YEHEHEHES I'M S-SUHURE! HAHAHA!” My giggly laughter quickly escalated into hearty cackling – Avery's low, playful chuckle barely a whisper beneath. His fingers continued to whirl softly, drawing more uncontrollable hysterics out of me, until I was certain my blush had spread all over my body; the idea of that ice cube grew more and more friendly by the moment… 

Then, I felt the cloud doctor’s hands flatten against my body, stroking soothingly down my sides. I let out a tittering exhale, a dopey smile on my lips as I looked up at him… his eyes ever-loving, ever-kind. As the ghostly fingers restraining me finally released, I fell into his plush, tender embrace. 

“Well, now… how'd you like being captured by a mad scientist?” He asked, snickering as he nuzzled into my neck. A kiss like rose petals brushed my skin, causing me to murmur as I yawned, already feeling the effects of the physical exertion. My heart rate relaxed, slowing to beat in time with his. 

“Well, I’d volunteer again, so… maybe I'm the mad one, after all.”

it's fascinating to me how tumblr users who talk about worldbuilding seem to fall under distinct camps of audiences who don't care about detailed worldbuilding logistics at all, audiences who just want things to make sense and cohere internally even if it's not perfectly realistic, and audiences who seem less interested in stories and more interested in just hearing about the tiniest most irrelevant minutiae of how a fictional world works to the detriment of actually telling a story. and then there are also storytellers on here who also fall under three similar camps of writers who don't really care about detailed worldbuilding and mostly paint their worlds in broad strokes, those who put a fair amount of thought into their worlds but don't really get down into the fine details, and those that plan every tiny little fucking thing out. the variety of humanity is truly fascinating

idk man I just think of all the franchises you could try to make the Next Big Thing by creating a bunch of new shows and movies, maybe don't pick the one with the notoriously nitpicky obsessed with canon fandom ?? if you don't plan on applying any sort of consistency to the world, characters, alien cultures, entire ethical and moral framework of the universe, etc etc ????

[astralprisms]

Kresh time.

[moe-broey]

HELP maybe this is influenced by how I'm writing this, or maybe it was supposed to be gleaned from canon and I just. Haven't fully thought about it til now. Haven't Deeply analyzed it beyond the blaring alarm bells that go off when reading this. But. Alfonse's,

Straight into.

This isn't him doubling down. This is him BACKTRACKING. This is him going, "oh fuck I think maybe I came on a little too strong maybe I was a bit too vulnerable and that's really scary. How do I fix this" and he's running through all the dialogue options in his head like Okay. Play it Cool. Keep it Casual. Proclaim your undying loyalty and devotion to your Trusted Partner (person he just told in the beginning of this conversation that he didn't intend to become friends with) by making yourself a blade and shield for them. NAILED IT 👍

I made these sketches the week SOTM launched, and I didn't think about posting them at the time. I recently looked at them again and thought "hmm, why not". In my own way, I decided to add a *little* color to make it a little more nice,and I edited the image *just* a little,and boom, here it is. My Riley Wells design. There's not much to say about the process of creating her design. I only used the portrait you find in the game as a reference, and I made a design of her at the time she joined JDS and then Gent. There's not much to say,really.

These were sketches made after I made an initial sketch of her to put the idea of her design on paper, and were made to help solidify and test out her design better. I haven't drawn her since.

So, yeah. They aren't much, and I don't have much to say about them. But I wanted to eventually show my design that I made of her. Plus, those sketches turned out quite nice,so there's that.

Other than a small idea that I don't know when I'll do, I don't have anything in mind that could result in drawing Riley again in the future. But hey, in case one day I end up wanting to draw her again, at least I have a design prepared for the occasion.

As a bonus, here is the first sketch I made of her. No editing or colors.

types of enstars satellite characters:

get mentioned often and have a defined personality but don't appear: hokuto's grandma, kuro's sister, ruka

appear in the story but don't get dialogue themselves, other characters translate what they're saying or doing: anzu, maguro, tori's sister, GFK

have their own dialogue but no sprite: idea, makoto's dad

[bitchkay]

I prefer Guys characterization in the princes path rather then his consort route

I feel like all the routes should've progressed slower tbh but with Guy in particular I feel like it would really work with a slow burn romance

Also, unrelated but MC always falls in love with her chosen consort by chapter 10 like girl you've known this man for 2 weeks

https://www.tumblr.com/endlessfuckup/754161176164843520/god-i-hate-the-dan-and-phil-fandom-too-theyre-so?source=share their latest stunt? im not in the fandom but im nosy lol

Dan and Phil have been hyping up this "special announcement" for this "secret project" in a way they never have before with others in the past making it clear that this was a very big deal

They'd also made it clear that they've been busting their asses on this secret project, were really excited about it and were expecting us to be excited about whatever this was

It was supposed to be a huge surprise

Well... greedy and impatient fans were scouring the internet for any crumb of evidence that they were going on another tour and saw that ticketmaster posted the promo for the Aus/NZ leg of the tour before the official announcement was made (in error due to timezone difference)

Had people just been patient no one would have known about this before it was fixed

The person/people who originally saw this should have kept their mouth shut or notified dan and/or phil about it (its very easy to get in contact with them/their team)

this will be the 3rd tour as a duo and their first tour together since coming out as gay/confirming their relationship (and also just not giving a fuck about how they're perceived anymore)

so this was quite significant (hence why they'd been hyping it so much) and is something the phandom has been looking forward to for years

And it all got completely spoiled by "tour truthers" searching for evidence

being a g1 lore lair but loving imps means you need to either forsake your one lore rule that dragons have to be g1 or you have to fork out every dollar you've ever owned

I made a baby 🥺

I named it Weep

Basically, it's supposed to be a multiverse travelling creature baby thing that's always following this small ball of light

It got that cloak/cape in one of the worlds it went to. It was a gift by a blacksmith who really wanted to help

episode review i am never going to recover from this

[causalitylinked]

"So... uhm... It's not what it looks like." An elf, practically about five foot tall with orange hair, is standing there with a squirrel-like creature in her hands. Earlier, it looked like she was in a HEAVY debate with the little rodent, but since now Aria got noticed, she smiled sheepishly and placed the animal down on the ground. "I was just, uh... I didn't agree with his politics." What is she TALKING about?? (For Herja, from Aria)

            unprompted asks. » always accepting!

    "Er... so in other words, I was merely envisioning you arguing with a chipmunk?" Herja soon questions, allowing utter bewilderment to seep through her tone. Honestly, considering her captain had managed to learn how to talk to animals after fighting off a bear of all things, it wasn't as if she would have a hard time believing this girl might have also been proficient at communicating with other critters. The moment she tries to explain herself further, however, Herja couldn't help but sweat-drop, for her words only left more questions than answers.

    "M-My apologies, milady, but I truly have no idea what you're talking about," she then admits, because she wasn't aware chipmunks could even get into politics the same way everyone else could, let alone have intricate conversations about them with what appeared to be a female goblin. "Nevertheless, I'm glad your squabble remains of little importance?"

✘ Any unpopular opinions about your muse?

♧ Any part of their canon portrayal you dislike?

☯ Is your muse liked or disliked by fandom? Does this affect your portrayal?

the mun's interpretation

— @yunalai

✘ Any unpopular opinions about your muse?

i sort of answered here and like i said i don't? really know what are the popular opinions about her but hm i guess that her heroic image shouldn't be taken at face value, that she isn't endlessly gentle and wouldn't put peace before her hatred for noxians, and what i'm yelling all the time about her being gentle and soft but also ruthless and violent because she is both.

♧ Any part of their canon portrayal you dislike?

also answered here! can't think of anything i dislike that was done with her other than sentinels of light event, but i do dislike some things aren't better developed, such as her stance on the vastaya and their conflict with other ionians. for someone so involved in everything ionia i think it's a huge oversight, even though i have my personal Thoughts and Opinions on how she feels about all that.

☯ Is your muse liked or disliked by fandom? Does this affect your portrayal?

to answer the second question first, no, the fandom's opinion doesn't affect my portrayal at all. part of that is that i simply don't keep up with it, i guess? i've stumbled on plenty of Takes online that dislike irelia's new lore/personality post rework, but i don't think she's widely hated or loved? there's plenty of people who like her too. but yeah i don't tend to keep up with it so it doesn't affect my portrayal at all.

even if i did, though, it likely wouldn't affect how i write her, only make me more critical of fandom takes or extra defensive and love her harder if people hated her because that's usually what happened when i wrote characters people had many Opinions about ksanfksajdnf

I've been once again maining Klee throughout this Veluriyam Mirage questline a nd while exploring the mirage, both because I did get her skin, but also because it cheers me up so much to see her having fun.
