#this was in my drafts for... a while XD

[bakawitch]

Fantasy au, where Prince Ryou is locked in a tower Rapunzel style. His father put him there to keep him safe from war/assailants or something among those lines. There's not all that much to do other than read the thousands of books in the tower's library, and one day, Ryou comes across a few books hidden under a dusty bookshelf. To his surprise, the books he found were all from the romance genre, something that he's never come across in the mostly science based library before.

He starts reading them and eventually becomes obsessed with the contents (probably due to the lack of human contact and interaction he's experienced in the tower). He starts fantasising about romantic stuff, like being stolen away from his prison by a dashing stranger or falling in love with a hunter who wandered too far away from the forest trail and sharing a forbidden romance with them. One day, his dreams come true in the most absurd way possible. A dragon lands on the roof of his tower and decides to make it its home. It sunbathes by the day and goes hunting at night. It seemingly doesn't really take notice of or care for Ryou, but Ryou still talks to him even if it's not really listening to him because at this point he's just grateful for the company the dragon's presence provides. Ryou playfully flirts with it on occasion, but he doesn’t think the dragon takes it seriously or anything.

The dragon occasionally lets Ryou climb up on the roof with it, while Ryou reads books out loud and experiments with how much touching it allows him to get away with. One day, Ryou decides to tie one of his fancy necklaces around one of the dragons horns as a thank you gift for being such good company, which in return to the dragon gives him a pretty crystallised scale.

After an unknown amount of time, Ryou's father finally arrives with escorts to bring his son out of the tower, but the dragon quickly sends them running, which Ryou is actually grateful for. Heroes and knights trying to rescue the Prince Ryou eventually start showing up at the tower, all of which either die, get chased away, or get too injured to continue fighting, all the while the dragon continues to keep Ryou safe and be a very good roommate (save for the loud snoring and the accidental puffs of fire through Ryou's windows).

Eventually, a famed beast tamer, Yugi, shows up who surprisingly recognises the dragon and tries to have a conversation with it. Surprisingly, the dragon ends up taking a more humanoid form and explains to Yugi that Ryou and him are spiritually bonded mates now. Being very knowledgeable about intelligent beasts and their costumes, Yugi agrees to try and explain things to the King, but that the dragon shouldn't expect anything good.

Ryou is a little upset, but mostly extatic that his dragon could talk the whole time and that they're basically married at that point. The dragon, now revealed to be a famous dragon who goes by Thief King Bakura, moves inside Ryou's tower part time, and they spend even more quality time bonding together and stuff (you know what I mean). One day, Yugi returns and warns Bakura that the king did not take the news of their elopement well and that he's sending a full-on army. Bakura and Ryou discuss things, and they decide that its better to just leave because Ryou doesn't really want his people dead at Bakura's hands, and Bakura has other places they could live at anyway. They fly off into the sunset and Bakura dumps Ryou in a big ass treasure pile for soft dialogue and fun times.

The end =)

Day 9 for huevember~

Decided to draw Jetko again, this time for a very specific AU I've been tweaking over like a feral animal lol. (heavy and I mean heavy rambling under the cut!)

Urk yea, so I worked my butt off of this one! I really pushed myself with the anatomy, since I wanted it to have a bit of sex appeal ngl lol (also, ya know, wanting to get better at drawing blah blah). I don't think I've ever looked at so many refs at once tho holy shit...

I also tried my best to make it look cool and graphical~ It was fun and fucking brutal I think I went through 30+ different variants, no joke LOL. Shoutout to my bestie for all the help and listening to me ramble like a madman. Title from this song: Renegade Master by Wildchild

OKAY SO PLEASE LET ME BE A LOSER

So not sure how to describe this AU, other than it being sort of a silly master thief mixed with action, romance/smut, drama, angst, revenge and conspiracy. I was definitely inspired by a few anime's, but Lupin iii & Cowboy Bebop were the biggest inspos for sure lol.

Not sure of the timeline, but maybe in the 90s? They're also aged up, Jet is about 31yo, and Zuko 23 maybe? YES there's a bit of an age gap as a treat for me. <333

Both of them served in the military, but at different times and units, so they never met before.

Jet joined the army at 18 to basically avoid homelessness, since he was orphaned and didn't have many options. He did, however, want to set up a fund for 'Bee and Longshot while he worked there. I'm still unsure about why he'd leave, but was thinking he got injured (like in S2), and was discharged (I'm also thinkin' toxic situation-ship with Lu Ten? *looming music* the drama!!). Or maybe he was about to uncover something big by mistake, so they accused him of stuff he didn't do, which had him terminated from the military. Or a combo of the 2??

But whoops, also turns out his fund he was putting aside was stolen/was being lied too, and he, 'Bee and Longshot had nothing left to their names. And because governments suck, he wasn't getting his benefits or barely got enough (or if he was terminated, then he'd get nothing).

This obviously left him feeling pissed and helpless. He tried getting normal work, but he didn't have much luck; which eventually led him to robbing a bank out of desperation (+an old military friend reached out to ask for help with the robbery), using his skills he's learned over his life (maybe at the time, he pretended to date Katara as she worked there to get intel? More drama~ Tho he did regret that part;;;). After that first theft, he not only got money for him and the others, but got a huge thrill from it. Since then, he strived to become the worlds greatest thief! He goes after money, jewels, fine art; whatever gives him a challenge (and a good paycut hehe)~

Zuko, like Jet, joined the military as soon as he turned 18; but it was done to get away from his fathers abuse and influence. He thought Ozai had no connections to the military, and he'd be safe to have his own career/life there for a while. (Also thinking Iroh is not in the picture. Either dead or disappeared)

Unfortunately, his father was far more powerful and corrupt than he thought he was. Not entirely sure why again, but thinking this time around, Zuko did uncover something big going on (but only a small glimpse of it). His father then ordered an assassination against Zuko and his unit, to make it look like an accident/war mission gone wrong (also, think 41st division here; except Zuko was in said division).

In an instant, he lost his comrades, all of them killed off because of Ozai. Unfortunately for Ozai, Zuko did survive, but no one knew of that, and thought he was dead/completely burnt away from the blast (also maybe that's how he gets the scar on his face OR chest?? idk yet).

Zuko did manage to run away and hide somewhere, finding random help and took almost a year to recover. During that time, he had a lot of time to think about it, and decided he'd get revenge against his father.

But it wouldn't be an easy feat. Reporting Ozai never did anything for him (the few times he tried when he was younger). He thought simply killing him would suffice, but he wanted Ozai to slowly lose everything. His influence, connections, money, power, etc. He wanted him to suffer, and lose the things he clearly cared more than anything in the world, even his own family.

So after the incident, he took time to train, get more intel, took mercenary jobs so he could build up his own network/gain experience, etc etc. until he eventually felt ready to begin his slow act of revenge; which would entail him starting from the bottom up, taking apart Ozai's regime if you will, by stealing/destroying/killing his connections/assets/companies/etc etc. if that makes sense?

ANYWAYS. Queue in Jetko!

The first time Jet meets Zuko, it's in the middle of a theft; it was night time, Zuko illuminated by the full moon, sirens going off in the background, as Zuko is holding the very thing he was going to steal. Zuko slowly turns to look at him, with nothing but contempt in his eyes. And Jet? INSTANTLY fell in love.

AHAHA in this AU, Jet is absolutely whippeddddd for Zuko. He thinks he's the most handsome, beautiful, badass person he's ever laid eyes on. Jet is convinced Zuko stole his heart, but he doesn't mind.;-) (yes he's a SAP)

Zuko doesn't care for Jet (or anyone for that matter). He's been pretty much alone for years now, only concentrating on his revenge. But Jet seems to pop up here and there, always in the middle of a robbery or whatever else. He comes to learn Jet is the self-proclaimed "worlds greatest thief", which he doesn't care for.

And yet, Jet always seems eager to speak to him, even helping or saving him sometimes. He doesn't get it, and he wonders if the guy was hired by his father. Yet, Jet manages to wiggle his way in Zuko's heart; which scares him, because he doesn't want to forget his anger and hatred.

But he can't help but be pulled in Jet's antics and chaotic heists, from time to time.

I don't think Jet would care if Zuko was the son of Ozai, in this AU. I'd imagine he'd be more angry about what Ozai has done to Zuko (and others) than Zuko's blood. Also, while Jet is definitely whipped, he does grow real feelings for Zuko the more they interact. He enjoys discovering small aspects about him, or the rare times he smirks or chuckles. But he can see there's a lot of hurt in Zuko, and is worried about him; he really wants him to have fun and be happy (hence why he ropes Zuko into his antics/thefts at times, just to see Zuko loosen up a bit).

As for the plot, AHAHA idk yet. Definitely some conspiracies going on, maybe some classic world domination? Idk. But everything is connected in some ways; even the random fine art pieces Jet would steal, would eventually connect to something bigger. Lots of action too and near death scenes aha. Also, Jets and Zukos pasts and presents would come to intertwine at some point. I'm thinking Lu Ten is one nasty villain too, which would add for some delicious drama~

Unto the nsfw aspect LOL (please respect the honour system and only read if you're 18+ pwease T^T)

So in ALL my headcanons/AU's, Jet/Zuko are switches. But I have SUCH a thing for younger men topping older men AHA (also....Jet is hairy too YIPPEE!). So the first time they even kiss, it's Zuko that pulls the shots. I'd imagine Jet would be flirting with Zuko again, and Zuko feeling both fed up but also interested, would grab him by the collar and give Jet a deep kiss; shocking Jet into silence. He'd just smirk, knowing he won, while Jet's brain short circuits lol. OR their first kiss is Zuko slipping Jet some important info through a chip/pill, which does surprise Jet, but he's eager to play the make-out part.;-)

Not even sure how they'd finally give in and fuck lmfao. But Zuko would, again, call the shots the first time; which does things to Jets brain because he's never been topped by a younger guy (he's veryyy into it tho). At some point, Zuko would allow Jet to top him during an emotional moment, I would imagine aha.

Oh also, for this scene in particular.....idk. I have a real fetish for cool looking dudes in cool outfits and looking all badass and homoerotic LMFAOOOOO. I do think it displays their dynamic in this AU pretty good. Jet being smitten/whipped and flirting/teasing, knowing full well he's got Zuko's attention; while Zuko seems in control/indifferent and closed off, but he can't help but be pulled in by Jet. (also I just wanted to draw something ~cool~)

As for the text, I was listening to music and it popped up LOL. Idk, I sometimes let whatever I'm listening too atm dictate stuff for me, especially titles because I suck with those. As for the font choice, I wanted a serif font to make it look a bit more old school, and hopefully jazzy. But I also wanted it edgy, something you could either see on a jazz album or 90s rave/techno/house album.xD (Since I was inspired by both genera's lol) It WAS really hard choosing the right font. Several looked great, one in particular I almost went with, but it felt too modern imo. I also knew I wanted it to be red, but it often took attention away from Jet/Zuko. So I tried my best to use the font to my advantage, and have the viewers eyes automatically go towards their faces by making it more saturated in that spot, like a light source? I also did trace out the font like a loser so it would have a hand-drawn texture.:-V

Also I kinda drew Jet more beefy than I usually imagine him by accident? But I didn't wanna change it bc.....his tits came out real good lol. I def need to draw more for this AU. And I hope Zuko's ass also came out good because god did I struggle.

OKAY SORRY FOR BEING A LOSER IN PUBLIC I'LL SHUT UP NOW LMFAOOOO.

This is a rewrite of a specific moment in my original post about the sugar au that spiraled out of control in length into a whole drabble as always lmao- ( ˊ ᵕ ˋ)

For reference:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

( Btw I was inspired to write this bc Pen's drabble of this au, as it introduced to the idea of Brent having an alternate persona for his visits; What originally started out as some Sophist pov/analysis of his situation and King/Brent's effect on his life quickly snowballed into me writing out this whole thing, so everybody say thank you to Pen for unintentionally inspiring me to write this ꉂ(≧▽≦) /hj /nsrs /silly)

(also long ass text warning bc its length spiraled out of control as per usual lmao XD)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Call me Eevee." He says, and King, a little shocked at first, gives him a smile and a nod. "Of course."

Silence fills the air afterwards, and while Eevee is still ever-increasingly filled with anxiety, some part of him is satisfied. It feels like his heart has finally, or at least somewhat, settled in his chest. Shuffling back into his seat a little more, he let out a gentle exhale, the relief that followed making him practically melt back into his seat.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All this time, his whole damn life, he felt like he'd been floundering about, trying to make ends meet. When met met Leo all those years ago, he thought he'd found "a way out". Now, that thought was almost pitiful enough to make him choke out a bitter laugh. What a fucking joke that was. He should've known from the beginning, but his honeyed voice and his hazy eyes had given him promise of a new life, and it did, with all the money, drugs, and drinks you could ever want or need. And sure, it had brought him company too, but it had swept away his identity, his self love, and his ability to see himself beyond the blinding lights and the lens of a film camera. It had warped his reality so much that even when he looked in the mirror, he saw nothing but a pitiful, thrown-around worker, tied up in strings and silk and bruises. The title he held in this community, in Leo's business, it meant nothing, but the price for wearing such a heavy and luxurious crown was the shackles that it came attached to. It was maddening, in the way Leo taunted him, because surely, he knew; he knew that he could never find a way out of this inescapable maze that had become his life. He was stuck in this damned rabbit hole, and in the end, the lust in his work became a way to fill the ever widening gap of self loathing and hatred. He found himself seeking it, and what sweet, sweet lechery it brought him, but even that wasn't enough to quell his self abhorrence.

And then, there was King. A man who had come to him with, ridiculously pure intentions. He was inconceivably handsome and comically dense, and even more so rich. But he was, lost. Lost in the same way he was. The first time they met, King asked him to hang out with him. It made him laugh every time he thought about it; It was the most ridiculous request he'd ever gotten from a client. But King was just as patient as he was blunt, trying to get to know him, and just as much, struggling to understand himself. He could see that much, and on one hand, it was maddening. How could you be given the life that so many people desired, and still be troubled? How could you not know what you wanted in life, if everything was at your fingertips? It made him angry, but on the other hand, it was pitiful, and even more, painfully familiar. Maybe that's why he felt bad, his heart twinging in stinging relatability. It was almost disrespectful, to say that he saw himself in King, but if he hadn't, he would've never taken up his offer in the first place.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"... Call me Brent."

Eevee practically shoots up in his seat, staring at King, no, Brent with wide eyes. Brent can't help but chuckle softly at his reaction, his face splitting open into a grin again. Eevee swears he can feel his heart rise in his throat, cutting off the airway and blocking off any words that he could possibly form to respond with. Brent reaches forward and rests his hands softly atop of Eevee's, rubbing their knuckles softly. He finds he can't stop himself from smiling, his head dipping down in humility, and when he looks back up into his eyes, Eevee feels his throat close up even more. Brent's eyes are practically shining, looking at him so softly and passionately, like he's some sort of valuable gem. He looks back down as he speaks once more, staring at Eevee's hand with some sort of intent:

"If we're sharing names, then it's only right that I tell you my own."

And with this sort of gentle and oh so delicate reverence, he slips his own fingers under Eevee’s hand, softly wrapping them around the curve of his finger. Raising it up in tender devotion, and for a moment, Brent meets his gaze. Looking back up at him wistfully, the light melting into softness drowning in his brown eyes. A small smile curves upwards at the edges of his lips, just barely. Like a negotiation, like a “You can accept this, if you want.” Brent’s eyes close, before he presses a chaste kiss to his hand, soft and yet firm. He lets it linger, the heat of his lips almost blazing.

It’s soft, and tender, and oh so fragile. Like the universe has stopped for a moment, and a single breath will shatter this delicate equilibrium. He can’t even bring himself to breathe. When Brent looks back up again, his eyes are shining. It is that look, that admirating look, as if he is the only brilliant, shining star in a void of darkness, that finally makes him let out a breath.

Ah. And Eevee thinks he could kiss him, right then and there. His eyes fill with tears that, with one wrong blink, would muddle his glasses foggy. He feels his throat quiver before he even lets out a word, and it takes the squeeze of his barely open mouth shut before he finds his breath again, letting out a soft exhale. He practically shudders while doing so. He could barely breathe with the way his heart had tightened, squeezing his chest. It felt so overwhelming, this sincerity, in the most unconceptual way possible; as if he was peeling away the layers of bruised and marked skin and identity, letting himself be bare and vulnerable in a manner that wasn’t so defiling for once.

WAIT WAIT ARE YOU TELLING ME DEMETER HAS AN EPITHET REFERENCING VENGENFUL FURIES?! WAHT??? >:D!?!

asdfghjkl thank you! really glad u like her lol shes becoming my favouritest to doodle lol. also not at all! i really love that you kept the aspect of her grief that so many are keen to twist to villainise her or erase completely to invalidate her. both are awful imo

heres a quote from le ask (soon i promise 😭😂): "Demeter and Persephone share a strong bond compared to the other gods. After Persephones "death" Demeter was never really the same. Demeter relives the painful cycle annually, and carries a deep rooted bitterness toward the other gods for it."

--

i actually think its hilarious and awesome to see that demeter can be herself with those shes close with (one of my favourite things in characterisations is when you have what seems to be a stern and serious presenting person breaking character at a dumb or inappropriate joke or something to that affect, it kills me everytime its so funny!)

anyway demeter is NOT not be confused with gaia (my girl knows how to have fun lol). but much like the rest of us shes got issues to work with and experiences to heal and grow from *finger guns*. 10/10 i think u did her justice. so much so i drew this for u hehe

under no cicumstances should she meet micheal scott lmao. humanity will never hear the end of "thats what _ said" jokes. ever.

her hair is lime green btw the light is making her blonde :/

Lurien + Dragonflies headcanon

Lurien is a dragonfly! Actually half dragonfly. (Little fact, irl Dragonflies are known to have exceptional eyesight!)

So in my fic the adventures of dragonfly and unicorn, about two vessels who escaped and are found by a weevil wizard who makes them his apprentices blablabla, there is a land known as the hidden meadow, built on the coast of the petal sea. (We will get there in the fic I need to post more chapters..)

Anyway It was created by the dragonfly lords, Who are children of the god of the sea. An ancient dragonfly god who had four eyes that could see across lands, to watch over them. He died and gave each of his eyes to one of his four children. Gale, Nor, Blisso, and Cilla are their names.

They created the kingdom and an enchanted border to keep it hidden from outsiders. They lived in the four spires of the palace and each of them kept watch over their land and their neighboring ones from the North, East, South and West respectively.

Eventually Nor, watcher of the east, learned of the rising kingdom of Hallownest. Especially curious and adventurous, she left the meadow to uncover the secrets of that kingdom, and she never came back. In the story no one ever knew what happened to her. But what happened is,

She met a nobleman from the city, the two fell in love and Lurien was born!

As a half Dragonfly, and grandchild of an old god, Lurien was born with some magic ability, Specifically his ability to see far and wide which of course the king eventually discovered and was rather impressed by.

fun addition to this HC is that the worldsense spell (ability to see the entire kingdom from one location.) the king 'gifted' the Hollow knight, was created by both the king and Lurien! As it is similar to the magic Lurien posseses.

[momentomori24]

You know how Eva constantly goes "bweh" (she's just like me fr) and Grace also does the "Feh" when annoyed? I like to imagine that Wolfgang's little noise schtick that he only does when he's alone (or with Grace) is a "bääh" and it sounds kinda reminiscent of actual sheep lol

[bleue-flora]

thinking about cdream and autism, do you think his habit of jumping and pacing around while talking are him stimming? I do that too so Im wondering if it could be something like that for cdream?

I also wonder how the rest of the server would react if they discovered cdream's autistic. I think some characthers like ctechno would be like "that was obvious" other would dont give a shit bc they hate him and other would like "this explains some stuff actually".

Im sorry but now i find the idea of cdream finally being put into a trial and ctechno and cpunz and maybe cranboo being his lawyers and defending him like "Your honor, my client it's literally neurodivergent and also a homeless lonely woof, and a 3yr baby" to the rest of the server. I find that idea funny idk why like cdream and his defense fighting bc like "omggg techno im not homeless and we have the same age!" "dude dont break characther, we're trying to save you!!" ranboo is just wondering what went wrong to get to this and punz is planing on stabbing the wilbur judge bc "who put that man in charge?!?"

-Cleo

Oh for sure, I’ve actually talked about it in my essays about c!dream being autistic [post] and later in a discussion on adhd [post]. I think since it’s not like we can see c!Dream fidget as a Minecraft character the best representation we can get is him bouncing around. :)

How would the rest of the server react?… hm I’m not sure… would they care? Would it matter to them? It’s hard to know, when you have a group of people who will throw someone in prison or watch him lose his last life, it’s hard for me to think they’d give a damn. I just don’t know, I’ve only ever told friends and family and some others who I figured would give a positive response, never to like an enemy. And usually I would do in advance so people have context before I do something they dislike, not during or after (something I think cc!dream might have screwed up on - though to be fair he did make a comment in a podcast so…) as it then doesn’t feel like I’m trying to use it to excuse my behavior. In other words, I think when, as in at what point in the story, people found out he is autistic, makes a difference. If for example they only found out later around the time of Doomsday I don’t think it would change many of their perceptions of him. If they had it before a lot of the conflict began then that might be different. Like for example, would people allow Wilbur to target him if they knew, hard to say but it would be interesting. It also matters how they find out and how much they know. For example, I tell people about what it’s like for me, so that I can then ask them to give me some grace when I need it and give me a chance to explain my side if need be. I tell them so I can then ask something of them, so the question is would Dream tell them in an effort to ask for their grace. Or would he just tell them and then just assume they would give him the benefit of the doubt. Because it’s also important for him to communicate what’s going on, if there is a disconnect happening because of autism like - me getting upset because I’ve gotten too overstimulated by the bright lights or clock ticking, then I need to tell people that’s why I’m losing it not because of anything they’ve done. Assumptions are communication’s biggest enemy or more commonly phrased, “Assumptions are the enemy of true understanding” or as George Bernard Shaw says, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”

Knowing of autistic diagnosis is step one, step two is communicating that and what it means. Now that you and the other are aware you’re speaking a different language you need to do the translation. To continue an analogy I did earlier, now that you realize you are talking about an American jumper and the other person is talking about a British jumper, it’s time to take the time to explain what an American jumper is and learn what a British jumper is so than you are on the same page.

This would be the same for c!Dream. The best way for his diagnosis to mean anything without people treating him demeaningly (which does happen) is for him to communicate. But both parties have to be willing to listen and understand where eachother are coming from. The autistic person has to put aside their logic to realize that that isn’t always how other people think, and the non-autistic person has to put aside their emotions and feelings of the situation to hear the other person out. (This btw is the problem with the conversation with cc!Tubbo and cc!Dream, cc!Tubbo was not willing to hear cc!Dream out or change his mind. And if that’s the case, discussion is unproductive because the person isn’t willing to hear you out and possibly change their mind or perspective).

In other words, there are basically four outcomes from c!Dream telling people depending on when he does 1) they disregard it as an excuse that he’s using to justify his actions 2) they take the opposite approach and baby him (I think this happens I wouldn’t know it’s not been my experience) 3) it makes no difference in their opinion one way or another or 4) it provides the scaffolding for a bridge of understanding that for the members willing to form that bridge are able to better communicate and understand c!Dream. But again this only happens if it’s caught, highlighted and both sides are willing to talk it out. Though diagnosis is also useful in the real world, because now that you know you speak a different language, you can start to learn the other one to understand them better. Because then you can be aware of what’s happening and better adapt. And these skills can come from experience, books, therapy, videos and stuff that can help you become aware of how non-autistic brains work to better communicate with them… anyways I’ve strayed from the point haven’t I, oops…

[always-a-joyful-note]

Spy x Family is such a Concept of an animanga. Like here is a fairly good representation of what war does to both sides, taking a neutral ground as it unfurls of the horrors it brings to ordinary people, showing that no matter how justified one side is, it does not erase the horrendous things they have to do......but instead of focusing on that, it focuses primarily on the shenanigans of one family living their best fake relationship AU.

Like, in a way, that's the best way to show how hope and light still exist amongst all the war crimes and devastation (focus on life than death without diminishing the latter). Something about focusing on the ordinary or people hurt and harmed by the war even as they're working against it. Or something
