Figured, I'd throw my taste into the mix with this...I don't really have a ship I dislike BUT there are ships I just refuse to ship for reasons. I shouldn't have to explain why that is. Also, like can be romantic or platonic (or silly); since I like think platonic ships deserve some love too. Though most lean to romantic than platonic for me. Most of my OTPs are very obvious XD

My abandonment issues could never.
Valuable tip. Don't cater to your followers. You're not trapped in here with them, they are trapped in here with you.

          ⤷  『  “ I just wish I could protect you from everything. ”  』
Tumblr media
It had been a bad day— Maybe more like a bad week… Oh, fine. More like a bad month! She didn't like to dwell on it, but it crept up on her in those twilight hours, when the sun was setting and she stared out from the balcony of their dorm room down at the grounds of Alfea, daydreaming.
He wasn't coming, she knows that, but she can't help but hope. No calls, no texts, no replies to any of her messages, anyone else would probably take the hint. Part of her has, she supposes, but there's a lingering attachment to him that refuses to give in. They'd been through so much together… How could this be happening now?
There are tears beginning to build in her eyes as she thinks about it, threatening to fall over, except she hears the click of high heels behind her and hurries to dry them so Stella won't see. Which is ridiculous, because Stella was her confidante and knew all of the details about how she was feeling and why. And still Bloom doesn't want her to see the tears roll down her face. She might not have a maybe-boyfriend to chew out for abandoning her for months if that happened, but she also adored that protectiveness in her best friend. It warmed the uncharacteristic chill that had settled in her chest.
"Hey Stella." She mutters, cursing internally as her voice still comes out wobbly. "I'm okay, I promise." They both know she's lying, and Stella's words only confirm it.
Bloom leans into her side then, and before she knows it a strong pair of arms are wrapped around her, surrounded in a cocoon of warmth and starlight, and she's never felt more home than when she returns the embrace.
"I know, Stella." She murmurs after a moment, pulling back only far enough to meet her best friend's eyes and push their foreheads together. "I know."

“We are not that different, McDuck. I’m confident that together, we could easily have the world in the palm of our hands…Doesn’t that sound tempting to you?”
“NOPE”
Inspired by people’s support and comments on my last drawing, I decided to draw these two once again! I’m still figuring out their dynamic, but here it’s following the idea of Poe down bad for Scrooge and trying to get him to join the dark side, while Scrooge is just like “…no thanks”. Just because I think it’s pretty amusing xD
This is also when I realized that this ship wasn’t a joke for me anymore and that it was starting to become serious…I should have seen that coming to be honest lmao. So come join me in shipping hell with this crack pairing that I still need to think of a proper name😈

There are sooo many good animal Desmond ideas out there... But no one thinks about horse Desmond.
He would be the mightiest of steeds. Maybe he would be a war breed like a Friesian or a hunting breed like an Akhal-Teke?
Horse Desmond would be a wild horse at first I think. No one would be able to keep him contained. But maybe he could be tempted to stick around if say... A certain ancestor popped up. Or perhaps they needed a lift? Most probably away from angry templars- or even more likely if you go for ezio- single fathers trying desperately to keep handsome Italian men away from his precious daughters?
You would have no problem escaping when your horse isn't afraid to free-run. >:}
And darn it if he wouldn't be the most loyal mount! Kicking and stomping would-be horse thieves and templars like it's a hobby!
Oooh what if he was a water horse/kelpie?
Horse!Desmond is like… a creature that happens every so often and graces this Tumblr every few months XD
Here’s the first horse!Desmond ask I got.
The Desmond is a horse in Auditore ranch ask that can go either EziAlt or EziLeo.
And the Desmond is a horse in Valhalla ask.
I’m actually unsure if there’s more but these are the ones I was able to find. XD
So let’s go for water kelpie in this one!
I’m kinda imagining Desmond like the water kelpie in Shin Megami Tensei:
Tumblr media
But he’s gonna be a pure white kelpie with golden eyes.
Water kelpies have the ability to shapeshift into humans but they’re easily caught because they have seaweeds for hair and they supposedly haunt the almost all water masses in Scotland and the kelpie is said to be a being that appears in both Scottish and Irish lore so there’s a high possibility that Shay and Liam would know about them.
And that’s why Shay is absolutely suspicious of the hooded man that appeared in the homestead one random day.
He spoke to Achilles for a long while and he just… starts living in a small shack near the docks.
Shay wouldn’t have been so suspicious of him had he not smelled like… water… all the time.
He has no other way to explain it.
There was something about his scent that reminded Shay of the stories his father used to tell him the mythical beasts and monsters that haunt Ireland.
They had also traveled to Scotland quite a few times during Shay’s time with his father and their ships, having a close relationship with a merchant that goes there. They get more money if they accompany the merchant to Scotland so Shay knows a bit.
The unknown Assassin that only goes by the name Desmond reminds Shay of one of those stories.
No.
The stories of those who stay in the waters to drown humans.
And then…
Lisbon happened.
He tried to do the right thing.
And he fell in the cold waters.
That’s when he saw it.
A white kelpie with golden eyes.
The same eyes as Desmond.
He wakes up in Desmond’s shabby shack.
And finally sees Desmond without a hood.
… his hair was made of seaweeds.
Shay was in the presence of a kelpie.
But why…
Why did the kelpie save him?

I have never seen detective conan but I love you so do me that little detective boy and his thief boyfriend for the bingo
GLADLY! Thank you Lucy!!

Gosho really wrote two characters perfect for each other and then tried to make them straight (tried because they're fruity as hell even though he doesn't know it :p). I was tempted to cross the freud box too because of Gosho's recent attempts to try and sink the ship but jokes on him, we're just either ignoring it or embracing it because the man has made multiple straight ships like it canon XD
They're so perfect for one another, I genuinely can't image them with any other person.

The Devil's Belt was certainly no place for a novice sailor. Ben at least had some claim to previous sailing experience but with the war going on at the same time and to be at the mercy of the currents and shoals, it was going to be particularly dangerous, especially around Hell's Gate. Oblivious of course to Ben's very capable and wild guide for those waters. "The Devil's Belt can overwhelm most able sailors, Major. Perhaps instead you might take the word of an old hand and try the North Cove of Saybrook Point as a more welcoming bay." Connecticut, undoubtedly safer for Ben so long as the pirates were indeed on their side. A clue that the navy were indeed keeping their charts up to date for the surrounding waters.
He did manage a little huff of a laugh at the preference of Ben's company of animals. He supposed he agreed, having a companion who could listen without comment or judgement could be most reassuring at times. "I imagine such a companionship is a lifeline, as a cavalry man you must be close to your steed." He spoke to his ships often, usually to tell them off or to worry over them but somehow that seemed more absurd to admit than talking with a living, breathing companion.
Still, Nelson had given Ben the space and what privacy could be afforded in the hold to think on his lost brother. Truly it seemed the man was reeling from his death still, which was only natural. He thought of his siblings he was most likely the one to be lost and he wondered if they would kick up the same fuss for him as Ben was doing for Samuel, somehow he doubted it.
Glad of the confirmation of the offer being enough, Nelson let out a little sigh of relief. "I thank you for your kind considerations, Sir," he was sure to acknowledge, kind indeed for an enemy to consider that he would have to take his men many miles away and into a hostile environment for who knew how long. "It is refreshing to know that there can and should always be some humanity in such circumstances." Although he doubted very much he would not be written up for feeding the starving enemy... would it be so harmful to let them break bread aboard? No, his crew would not sit for that sort of radicalism just yet. Nelson put the lid back on the barrel, knocking it back into place with that same iron bar he had used to open it.
"Right then lads, we will have to get this up to the lower..." ah layman's terms and he made sure to turn to Ben, "up to the deck above before we can use the pulleys. If three of your men can help Mr Hardy with the barrel, and the rest for the crates we shall be up in no time at all?" There was no access otherwise in the hold but the space to move the barrels was wide and accommodating on the ladders at least for that very reason. It would not be a big logistical operation, one barrel and a few crates was hardly demanding thankfully.
The deck above was lit up with natural sunlight as the cargo doors were opened for the two decks above and a system already waiting to take the supplies up to the main deck. Nelson had clearly wanted this part of their deal done quickly, not wanting Ben and his men below deck for longer than necessary for security and he privately worried for their safety too.
The thought of having a pastime during war, no matter how simplistic, was a little jarring after so many months – nay, years – of total focus. Although many of his men opted for levity, Ben, himself, chose pragmatism and responsibility. With a disbelieving smile, he agreed, “You might turn me into a sailor yet, Captain. Though of course you’re right…were I to attempt sailing in the Devil’s Belt, for instance, I’d assuredly get overthrown or worse.” His friend Caleb was notorious for weaving in and out of those precarious waters, but he didn’t dare follow in his footsteps.
The deeper they stepped into the ship’s hold, the more suffocating the air became. Ben’s lungs felt tight, thin, and closing his eyes a moment, he tried to shut out the choppy sound of waves rolling against the wooden siding.
Once Nelson spoke again, Ben cracked an eye open and spared him a sidelong glance. “It’s my favored form of transportation,” he agreed. “Perhaps I am blessed after all, since in addition to traveling in comfort, I also have a wordless companion. Sometimes, animals are the very best for that sort – you talk, and they listen.” But then, perhaps that sounded absurd. Oftentimes, bleakness and despair brought him to spill his guts to those who couldn’t speak back – most likely because he didn’t truly wish to have anyone analyze what he, himself knew to be a debilitating plight. He didn’t want insight shone upon his heart and soul.
The group came to a stop, and despite the less than welcoming surroundings, Nelson maintained his amenable exterior.
The words about Samuel drew a lump to his throat, and smiling, Ben softly agreed, “He was the best of men – far more than I could ever hope to be.”
Nelson ushered him forward, and once the captain lifted the barrel, the unpleasant stench of preserved meat wafted in the air; yet to those who were starving and malnourished, it smelled heavenly. And despite the fact this was assuredly a fair trade, Ben couldn’t help but feel a stab of guilt. He hated taking from anyone, even the enemy; and most especially a fair and unexpectedly kind foe.
Looking up at Nelson with a quick little nod, he agreed, “Yes – thank you, sir, this seems beyond sufficient for our trade. My men are reasonable, so I know they will not demand more. You and your own, after all, will be trapped onboard this vessel for the foreseeable future without the convenience of land bartering.” Or pillaging, in some cases – he’d certainly heard the horror stories.

Happy DADWC! I'm resending it because I'm a goof for misspelling the name! Omg I'm sorry! XD For Mercar/Elek ship from the bed sharing prompts. Going to sleep as the big spoon and waking up as the little spoon. Happy writing!
no apologies needed, thank you for the prompt!!! this is SO them. i did cut this one at the short and sweet mark because i'm nowhere near drunk enough to post unedited smut on here and nowhere near sober enough to edit it either. no warnings for anything here other than some classic situationship behaviours.
words: 333 (<- neat!) | @dadrunkwriting
Tavian wakes with a groan, turning to press his face into the pillow to escape the piercing brightness of the sunlight.
Mornings at Elek’s are usually early, with his bedroom windows facing out towards the harbour, but the awakening is rarely so harsh.
Though Tavian’s often the first to wake, the habit still ingrained in his body from his years in the army, he’s usually treated to the view of a patch of sunlight playing along the wall. A benign enough picture, made better as that patch slowly drifts down to the bed and paints it’s golden patterns on Elek’s bare skin where he always seems to break free from under the blankets during the night.
If it were that view greeting him again, Tavian would hardly be complaining.
Instead, it feels as though the sun is burning straight through his eyelids.
Too fucking bright.
He keeps his face pressed into the pillow as he feels Elek shift beside him — behind him, he realizes, feeling the tips of his ears go hot as he becomes aware of that his hand is still gripped tight around Elek’s forearm, pulling it around himself.
How he managed that when he’d fallen asleep tucked around Elek, he’s not sure.
It does somewhat explain his predicament, though, having somehow turned himself to face directly towards the open window. A mistake never to be repeated.
Still, with Elek’s chest pressed against his back, it’s much warmer than usual. Perfectly comfortable, despite the cool morning breeze rolling through and the blanket pooled at his waist.
As he feels Elek settle again, tucking his chin over Tavian's shoulder, he's even a little tempted to linger.
It would be a shame to wake him, is all, and Tavian's in no rush.
Neve had agreed there was no need to meet back at the Eluvian till noon, and besides, the Anderfels can be terribly cold. Surely it’s not such a crime to enjoy the comforts of Minrathous while he’s here?

Not-Yet-Written-Fics Game
Tagged by @fishing4stars to reveal my not-yet-written fics.
This is fantastic actually the amount of things I have on the back burner is HUGE I'll have to pick and choose, oh dear.
For Your Life Hate Me (Twilight) As story about Carlisle and Jasper (very self indulgent) where they get kidnaped by María and forced to fight (like in Jasper's old days). To keep Carlisle alive Jasper is forced to do some not nice things that horrify Carlisle but he'll do them to keep the man who took him in safe, even if Carlisle hates Jasper in the end.
The Adventures of Young Man Henry Winchester and his Violent Grandsons (Supernatural) Henry Winchester survives his death by Abadon! And now he has to get used to modern life without his family. It is extremely painful and sometimes his grandsons are no help. The start of their relationship is very rocky but it'll eventually lead to better days. I'm very fond of this one.
It's The Ashy Taste Of Sacrifice (One Piece) Sanji and Zoro get turned into animals and (spoilers) in the end Sanji has to bear the brunt of this happening and suffer a life as a fox. The premise is silly but I promise you the contents are not. I am making this boy SUFFER and that is just a universal constant. Full of platonic friendship and hurt/comfort ✨And Zoro being a better bro to Sanji.
To Look Like Her (One Piece) And to keep up with the point before. This is a story about Sanji self sabotaging his body because he realizes that when he's sick he looks like his mother and he wants to KEEP that look. It does not end well for anyone. The Straw Hats get rightfully very pissed and concerned about this.
Mending The Tears One Spoonful At The Time (Sam Rami Spider-man) This is just a whole ass ploy to better the friendship between Peter and Harry. Harry realizes something is off with Peter when he notices his friend is ALWAYS hungry. When Harry offers help Peter's pride gets in the way and Harry has to devise ways to secretly help Peter.
Homeward Bound From The Sea (Frozen) Frozen AU where Agnarr survives the shipwreck but is lost for some years in an island until he's eventually found by a fishing-ship. He gets rescued and returned home but things are hard for father and daughters equally. Full of Agnarr!whump and everyone having to adapt to this new reality. Kind of non-verbal Agnarr in this one.
When Doriath Fell (Silmarillion/Tolkien) AU where Dior and Elured and Elurin survive BUT actually Dior did die he just came back wrong. So Dior raises his children as a feral creatures in the forest surrounding Menegroth. But Elured and Elurin sort of have to take care of their father as well because the man is not well. Of course, this thing is full of angst what did you expect?
The Price Of Freedom (Sandman) Hob rescues Dream from the fishbowl of doom and Dream thinks he needs to repay him with devotion and love (just like he did with Alianora). Surprisingly shippy but not really? HobxDream is not endgame at any rate, but Dream is convinced that's how he needs to repay his friend for saving him. Very angsty, the sky is blue, next.
Reverse 'Verse (Firefly) Another AU (of course) where instead of River being taken and brainwashed it is Simon who becomes the mortal weapon/assassin. And in turn it is River who has to take care of him and escape. Lots of sibiling feels.
I have so many, so so many, but i better not drag them up into the surface less I get tempted into working on them XD but here are some honorable mentions of ofter fandoms I have wips in: SPD Power Rangers (don't laugh), Batman, Hocus Pocus and a ton for Criminal Minds.
If you feel like asking about any of these drop me an ask and I might feel inclined to doodle something about it 😂

Character arc - Niobe von Valancius
Tumblr media
portrait by @mayoonrices
I was tagged by @bnbc to participate in @fuchsiareign's Rogue Trader character arc prompt and it sounded like fun!
Niobe's arc is a strange one, and I'll explain why in due course.
To begin with, it's a story of love vs duty and pushing the limits of both in search of the answer to the following questions: which is strongest? Can a balance be achieved? Ultimately, it is a story of personal sacrifice for a perceived "greater good" (no, not in the Tau sense, that's heresy. ;) )
Niobe was born in a world of privilege most citizens of the Imperium could only dream of, but that doesn't mean her life was easy. From an early age, she was groomed to take up a specific position within her family hierarchy: ambassador to the other noble courts in Scarus sector. It's a role she then fulfilled for 2 decades, always on the lookout for ways she could advance her house's interests while undermining their rivals. It was a world of secrets and intrigue and double-dealing and she was profoundly lonely despite being surrounded by people.
Then she was summoned by Theodora von Valancius, THE von Valancius to whom House Theseis which she was part of was related by blood, but distantly enough that they had no right to the name. Until she took up the mantle of Rogue Trader, that is.
In some ways, her new duties weren't entirely unfamiliar to her: she had long been wrangling people with hidden agendas and uncertain loyalties, and she had the poise and authority to go with the title of Lord Captain.
Other things she had no idea about and had to learn as she went along while trying to keep her protectorate from falling apart. Part of what initially brought her and Heinrix close was her appreciation for his sharp intellect and sensible advice.
Then Commorragh happened. That constituted Niobe's "fall from grace" when she almost lost her life, her retinue, her love but most importantly of all, she lost some of her humanity. In order to save Heinrix from further torment, she grovelled before Tervantias and begged for his release, an unforgivable act in her eyes (and that of the Imperium). It left a deep scar and fuelled her existing xenophobia to unprecedented heights. She had never been fond of xenos, but after this she absolutely loathed them and hunted them down with extreme prejudice. She became less inclined to be merciful, and more likely to make examples of those who displeased her.
As for her relationship with Heinrix, it ended in a mutual agreement that their respective duties came first. He went on to become the next Lord Inquisitor while Niobe continued her tenure as Lord Captain, and the two met as often as their many responsibilities permitted. They had a son, Lysander, although Heinrix only found out about it 3 years after his birth.
This is where things get complicated, because I have two possible endings in mind for her - a bittersweet one which is in line with the ending slides I got and a much darker one which I came up with on a whim but which kind of tempts me to make canon. XD
In the first possible ending, she and Heinrix join forces many decades into the future for one last mission against the enemies of mankind, and die gloriously in battle, side by side, by ramming the ship into an enemy dreadnought.
In the second possible ending, Niobe's son Lysander manifests psychic powers and is taken away for sanctioning but doesn't make the cut and is sacrificed to the Emperor instead. Niobe, who had been very reluctant to let him go, is stricken by grief and becomes less and less interested in running her protectorate. Instead, she ends up locking herself up in her son's old rooms, which had been kept completely closed off and left untouched since his departure, and becomes a kind of Space Miss Havisham. In her deeply depressed, hopeless state, she is vulnerable to the predations of Grandfather Nurgle who corrupts her mind and body and gradually those of everyone in the estate. Eventually Heinrix himself calls a purge of that part of Dargonus.
Phew! That was a lot of text!
