[fuckyeahgoodomens]

I hope everything is okay for you with the flooding! Ik its really bad in some areas and hope you're not being hit too hard

Hiya :)! Thank you, I am ok, fortunately my city Brno has a big dam and tries to regulate the water with it so as long as it holds we should be more or less ok. Unfortuntately some places in the rest of The Czech Republic are not that lucky :(.

The Ciaran storm arrived in Italy and hit Tuscany in particular these days...

Others Regioni are having problems. More rain is going to fall this weekend especially in Northern and Central Italy

[journcys-archived]

Long ago, before Hoenn had developed into what it was today, a meteor had crashed upon the earth and created the small island. Humans had discovered it; only able to reach it from sea or sky—and soon enough, Sooto Village had been born. The people lived in the barren crater on their semi-isolated island, happily, curious about the Pokémon that lurked in the water.

It was when a large whale-like creature appeared curious about human life, that the humans were curious in him, too. It seemed as though water pokemon were in abundance around him, and with nothing else to eat, they took the opportunity to fish. When the large creature was around, food was in abundance, and eventually, they treated him as a god.

The Almighty Kyogre.

Curiouser and curiouser he became. Humans were intriguing—from the way they moved to the way they lived to the way they talked. He had never experienced something like this before—the youngest of the three brothers and the most naive. Was there a way he could investigate them further? Understand them better? There had to be a way, couldn’t there?

Weeks had passed and though water pokemon were in abundance, Kyogre was nowhere to be found. Not even the ginormous shadow in the sea of the creature—the villagers grew concerned. Eventually they came to the conclusion that he had to have been around, or they would have starved, and water pokemon were still around in excess.

A man had appeared in the village, tall; blue hair almost looking like the waters of the sea itself. Piercing golden eyes, and the robes of a man who looked like he could be some sort of noble, maybe. Dressed in blues and whites and golds, they were suspicious of him at first, though something about him was….calming.

It didn’t take long for him to gain the trust of the people and to blend in as much as he could, keeping them as unaware as possible. He would aid them in their tasks and help when needed—

And then his eyes laid upon her.

Small—so small. A chubbier frame; but her eyes were so soft when she looked at him and her black hair framed her face in a way that made his cheeks flush red.

His heart skipped a beat. This was the end.

—

‘Mingling with the humans the way you are isn’t smart, brother.’ His brothers would tell him, standing next to him as he watched her from a distance, hands cupping his cheeks as elbows propped up on his knees. Words went through one ear and out the other.

“She’s beautiful. I have never seen anyone or anything quite like her.” A grunt left him when he felt a hand collide with the back of his head, glancing up at Groudon and wrinkling his nose. A huff in the others direction, he ignored what his brothers were saying, a frown tugging on his features as she disappeared from his sight.

How unfortunate.

—

Suiji, Suiji, Suiji. Her name danced in his mind like rain in the spring. The days, weeks, months went by. Their bond had grown; this small, human woman making him feel things he thought wouldn’t be possible. Helping him learn, helping him understand. He loved her—oh, how he loved her. She consumed every thought he had. Around her, he wasn’t the Almighty Kyogre—no, he could just be…

“Marea.”

Her voice was like the gentle chime of bells when she spoke his name, the taller letting out a content sigh before he bent down far enough to press his lips to hers. A feeling he couldn’t tire of. He loved her. He loved her. He still loves her.

—

Not long after they had wed, Suiji had become pregnant with their son, a boy they had named Kaiyō—Ocean; similar to the teal/blue color of his hair that inherited from his father. As the child gre, Marea’s bond with his wife became stronger—some envied their relationship—how full of love it was and how it seemed to have radiated off of the couple. He was happy. So, so happy to be with her and their son. To be a family.

—

After Kaiyō had reached adulthood, things in the village had continued to prosper. They expanded outside of the crater; moving up more onto the mountain-like rocks that this island had been made of. There was grass in patches, places to grow things much easier, and lots to expand.

The sky had turned gray; Marea had not been in the area, though the roars of two beasts had been heard much too close to the island the village called home. The earth had shaken and the tide had risen; the rain pouring heavy and filling the crater of the island at a rapid speed. Unaware, unaware, unaware was he as the humans made haste to get above the crater, leaving possessions behind as they hurried to help each other survive.

The clouds had parted. The roaring had stopped and it took a few moments, but Marea had made his appearance, brows knit together in confusion as he looked at the damage. The creator now looked like a lake, and as he looked around he could see that some were deceased—

No. No. No.

She laid limp in the arms of their distraught son, and Marea’s body felt like it weighed several thousand tons in this form as he staggered his way over to his son who sat on his knees, holding his mother close as Kaiyō’s own wife and teal haired children continued to help the others get to safety.

‘Father, She’s gone.’

Fingers gently brushed soaked, black hair from her face before he took her from their son’s grasp, ordering him to help the rest of the village—reluctantly, he did, and Marea…Marea had left to find help.

—

‘Oh, Arceus.

I beg and I beg and I beg.

Bring me back what has been lost.’

—

The god appeared before the man—the Legendary; and at first, Marea had been filled with an immaculate hope. Arceus was going to help him! They were going to bring back his beloved!

‘Oh, child.’ The creature spoke.

‘This is the outcome that has transpired. You have walked off of your path and this—this is what happened.

I will not bring her back.

You must learn from this, Kyogre.

Learn from your mistakes. Understand the consequences.’

As quick it had appeared, it was gone, and Marea fell to his knees with his wife in his arms, crumpled over as he held her clutch to his chest and trembled, trembled, trembled. His forehead pressed to hers as a puddle formed underneath him from the tears he had shed. This wasn’t his fault. If Groudon hadn’t started this—Groudon, Groudon, Groudon. It was his fault that Marea had lost his wife. That he had lost the most important thing he could ever have in this eternal life of his. He knew humans were vulnerable—he knew he would outlive her. He just never thought it would turn out like this.

How could it turn out like this?

—

Away from the water—he thought as though it would be best to bury her far from the sea. There had been no communication with his son, either. Bare feet step along the grass of the heavily forested area before Marea had chosen a spot to bury her.

Brows knit together as he spent his hours digging in the dirt with his bare hands—though he had the aid of a few wild Pokémon who had been curious about what he had been doing. It was times like this that he was grateful that he could communicate with them. It made things so much easier.

Lips had pressed themselves gently against Suiji’s forehead before he pressed his own forehead against hers, holding her firmly once more before gently setting her down into the grave.

‘I love you, I love you, I love you…my Suiji…’

A sigh left him as he laid next to the mound of dirt that hid the body of his beloved; golden eyes closing slowly.

For three hundred years, he would rest here alongside her, allowing foliage to cover his form before he chose awaken and then in slumber in the ocean.

Listening to Rainwater by Lemon Demon during a flash flood warning 💀

[grahamkennedy]

A police officer shoots his ex boyfriend and partner with his police issued gun and the grieving queer community BEGS for them not to march in pride because we literally just lost two of our own, and there's absolutely no sympathy from the cops? I'm not surprised, but I'm disgusted and appalled. ACAB includes queer cops too.

Neo beasts x reader head cannons? 🥺

You know what anon? Just for you

Beast Ancients AU - Neo Beasts x Reader Headcanons

Congratulations! Someway somehow you’ve attracted the attention—and affection—of the Neo beasts. How do each treat you?

Saint Vanilla Cookie

This implies that he’s decided not to purify you out of his intense compassion. In fact, he’s settled for something arguably much worse: saving you for last, so you can witness his deliverance.

You’re his lamb, his bluebird, and he never lets you forget how blessed you are to be one of his

He’s gentle in almost every way. Voice, touch, words. He especially likes cupping your cheek and cooing sweet little things. Sometimes they’re laced with dark promises

On his orders, the Lambs of Penance are your personal servants and won’t let any harm befall you. Cream Wafer speaks to you respectfully, but you can hear a little envy in his voice

Saint pays attention to every little detail you have, the things you like, and your wishes. He wants to see you at your happiest because a tainted soul as yourself should never feel sad. He’ll wipe your tears away

But don’t assume he’s perfect; he’s far from. Saint stays true to his personal promise that you will be safe and happy and alive until the day he finally saves you, and that means that any potential threat to you will be dealt with by his lambs. If he thinks something will taint your soul further, he’ll be sure that it’ll never have the chance.

In fact, why don’t you stay with him? In his timeless kingdom, amongst his loyal followers and all the orchids that will watch over you. It’s the closest you’ll be to the light.

Make no mistake, saint is two steps away from being a yandere. He just wouldn’t get his hands dirty, and he would never change to that typical yandere-ish behavior. The oh so benevolent saint just wants to see you safe, and if that safety is under his wings, so be it…

Dragonberry Cookie

As the Beast of Pride, the way she loves is bold and loud. She will make it known to you that she loves you pretty quickly.

While she throws parties pretty frequently already, you’ll be center stage at a lot of them with her as she makes you dance together and drinks herself stupid with a bunch of glasses poured your way as well.

If you’re the shy type, expect to be embarrassed or put in big social situations a lot since she’s a massive extrovert who would bring you along to things. Outside of parties and other events of the sort, she would also love for you to watch her spar with Wildberry and her other soldiers

She’ll also give you lots of gifts

She does have a pretty big ego though, so she expects praise and validation from you. Compliments, acts of service, things that assure her you’re not just mooching off of what she gives you. If she thinks you’re not being grateful, she’ll get bitter and confront you about it, which will or won’t go well depending on how well you can prove your point to her

She’ll kill for you 100%. She might even do it in front of you. If you get messed up from that? It’s okay! You’ll get over it in no time.

Despite all this she does respect your boundaries, she’ll give you space if you’re vocal about it. She disappears on occasions and comes back covered in battle wounds and jam anyway.

You know about Pitaya locked up in her basement but you know not to touch them, let alone try and free them if you’re hero enough. She might just have to punish you for that if she catches you doing something you shouldn’t. Don’t worry though, it’s just this once, because you’ll surely never try anything again, right?

Big hugger, her love language is touch so expect hugs and kisses and mandatory cuddle sessions. Honestly if you’re just as messed as her then she’s a pretty solid lover

Frigid Cacao Cookie

It’s hard to tell he cares for you because he’s so distant, even from you.

You’re allowed into the throne room without summons, but the furthest into it you can go is to the foot of his throne. Like everyone else in the citadel, you’re not allowed to touch him.

Your days in the citadel are quiet. The outside is cold but the hallways and your room are warm, the latter always supplied to the brim with what you need.

Tiny licorice creatures slink in and out of your peripheral vision, watching you curiously. Sometimes they slink up to you, purring and chittering, and some might even be balancing trays of food, warm towels, clothes, or other things on their heads. Little do you know that Cacao has been ordering them to take care of you

While he doesn’t forbid you from leaving the kingdom, he’ll want you to come back to him one way or another. Ideally on your own, but one of the licorice oozes that have been watching you since you left could also bring you back.

You might see him out and about on rare occasions, and he might look at you. On even rarer occasions he might ask about your well being

The only thing he’s strict about is that you absolutely cannot attract attention from the other neobeasts, especially Saint Vanilla. The beast of Penance is already curious about learning what things make Cacao go soft; he does not need to learn about you.

Also don’t bring up Choco, he has a reaction to it

Celestial Cheese Cookie

Pampers you. Pampers you and pampers you and pampers you and pampers you

Thinks you’re the sweetest little thing and pinches your cheeks and everything

She’d be more than happy to show herself off, as well as all of her achievements. She gives you treasures from her conquests regularly

She’s similar to Dragonberry though where she expects praise, but unlike her she doesn’t get as angry. She doesn’t see her gift giving as a transactional thing, she does it because she can. You just gotta tell her how wonderful she is

The oases are a popular spot for her to bring you for food and refreshments, cared for by gold-adorned servants as she gushes over the grand vision for her kingdom. She’s honestly quite excitable and loves talking about herself and her plans.

Pay no mind to the scans that are run on you while you sleep, or the diagnostics of your information that run deep in her servers. She doesn’t think it’ll need to happen soon, but she’s planning to put you in a sarcophagus and hook you into her virtual world to make you live forever. She’s not going to let something else she cares about go.

Midnight Lily Cookie

The tamest one honestly

Unlike the others, she sees you as an equal. She knows your personal space and doesn’t encroach on it too much or too little, makes sure you’re well cared for and healthy, and keeps you safe. She also lets you leave and trusts you to take care of yourself. Being Beast of Sovereignty, she encourages the people under her to do whatever they please within their allegiance to her, and this includes you.

She’ll play the harp for you and ask you how she did

You also get lots of gifts and compliments from the other faeries for being the lover of their queen

She does have preferences though. She likes honesty and expects you to keep promises, she prefers if you do something for her in exchange for her doing something for you, and to not question her motive and means to take down her other half. She will get very defensive with you and shut down the conversation pretty fast

The flora in the silver kingdom bloom to their fullest around you both, but when Lily is upset with you, they curl or bud as you pass by them.

Speaking of chlorokinesis, get used to seeing her show no mercy with her plants. Unlike Dragonberry though, she’ll do her best to help you if the sight of bodies skewered on flower stems is too much. Maybe stick to the heart of the kingdom for your own good, where you’re less likely to see how the rest of Beast Yeast challenge her kingdom.

She has a whole bunch of rules set up when Saint visits. While she’d encourage not being with him at all, if you really want to see him, she made it expressly clear to him that he cannot purify you.

THE QUIET ONE ☠️🕸️

I AM SO PROUD OF THIS AHHHHHHH

I decided I wanted to have a go at using procreate’s symmetry tool and it was SO fun

Her silhouette is meant to look like a spider with her headband being the fangs and hair strands being the legs!! I also think it looks like a heart too which is pretty neat :D

This took me AGESSS because I kept changing the colour pallette and background, I love how it turned out though and the only thing I would change is that it’s kinda hard to see her bowing pose bc of all the dark colours 😭😭

I LOVE associating spiders with Harumi which is pretty ironic considering i’m arachnophobic 💀

I don’t think it’s used that much in the show other than the like spider they used to bug the bounty but I have chosen to RUN with it

[iamfabiloz]

tis but a scratch!! 😈

i missed drawing bloody stuff oughh my oc snowshiver murdering her mentor whiteoak lol drama

The Medarda Family and the True Goal of Shimmer

Nature has made us intolerant to change, but fortunately, we have the capacity to change our nature. -Singed

For most of s1 the only versions of magic the audience really gets familiar with are visualized through hextech blue and shimmer pink, but we can't trust it to represent what actual magic is like on Runeterra. People from PnZ are incredibly unfamiliar with magic, it was banned for centuries, and they're mostly retracing steps and doing guess work. The best metric to understand how magic works is to look at characters and regions that are actually inclined to magic, and the Medardas may be the best example yet.

When Ambessa accepts the Wolf totem from Lamb one half of dual aspects of death, her body is enveloped in a bright purple transformation before being reforged into a red that resembles the kind her ancestors and the Lamb wear.

It's the same bright purple that consumes Sky in Viktor's last experiment with the hexcore in s1.

I think this purple represents magic at its most malleable state, where it can be refined or change others into final products with a proper catalysts. By s1's final scene, we know that Mel possesses magic and likely uses it through her golden armor. We also know it's possible for magic to be a hereditary trait that can be passed down (not perfectly) through family lines, which is prized in Noxus (and Ixtal?).

So if Mel has magic that likely means the Medardas family in general has latent magic that flows through them naturally., but qhat does this have to do with shimmer or PnZ in general?

The Medardas are relevant to PnZ because Zaun leading minds, Silco and Singed, have spent their capital trying to replicate what the Medardas can do!Shimmer doesn't exist purely as a bioweapon, that's frankly secondary to it's point. Shimmer exists as a means to artificially make the users capable of performing magic, or at least shift the user's biology into something that can tolerate magic. Hextech as a solution to the mystery of maguc completely sidesteps the relationship between magic and the user by using machinery as middleman, while shimmer takes a more direct route.

Singed can't literally biohack nonmagical people into mages all by himself. Singed instead developed what's essentially a hormone therapy to give users temporary magic abilities by synthesizing shimmer from these mysterious plants that resembles the color of the magic within Ambessa before her deal with the Lamb.

Why didn't Singed and Silco just give people the magic purple plants directly if it's capable turning them into mages? Sky and Rio might be the best examples for why you don't do that. When young Viktor feeds Rio the purple plants we see Rio immediately lose vigor, as an audience most of us assumed that was simply Rio's pre-existing condition acting up, but the relationship is more simple. When Singed said Rio was dying, he said it with surety because Singed KNEW the exposure to magic was killing Rio. And Sky was DISINTEGRATED upon being exposed to the hexcore's magic.

In that vein, Singed used Rio as a work around. From what we see non-mage humans absolutely cannot tolerate exposure to even base magic, but Rio was able to last longer. Instead Singed and Silco exposed Zaun to a version of those magic flowers that was broken down by Rio's metabolism into a more version that non-magical humans can tolerate.

The wild thing is that all this effort is to get non-mage users to Ambessa's UNREALISED state, the purple is just the base magic that exists in mages. Even still, Singed seems to have developed the kind of strain of shimmer that's the closest he's ever come to real magic, and Viktor and Jinx used it.

Viktor's own magical transformation has been facilitated by the hexcore in the same way the Lamb facilitated Ambessa's transformation. Do i think Viktor has essentially created his own Aspect through the hexcore? NO.

But in the same way shimmer is facsimilie of magical ability, so too is the hexcore a subsitute for living magic. And by living magic I don't mean unicorns or mermaids, I mean magic that is given consciousness and shape by being tethered to human concepts. And the hexcore's basic purpose is supposed to be magic that thinks and Viktor has tethered it to the human plane with his blood.

This all begs the question about what could exposure to the hexcore do to long term shimmer users? What WILL it do to Jinx? We all know that's inevitable next season.

You see, power, real power doesn't come to those who were born strongest or fastest or smartest. No. It comes to those who will do anything to achieve it. -Silco

Tldr: Shimmer is a large-scale project to turn the population of Zaun into mages, or magically tolerant, by essentially microdosing the population with magic through shimmer.

forgot to ever post this here but i had the most fucked dream the other night and i had to draw it

[greenieart]

I was inspired.

[takaraphoenix]

So it turns out that Steter, beyond being an excellent ship with a delightful fandom, is also a gateway drug into Stetopher and I just feel like someone should have given me a heads up before I decend into another ship :/

Guess who's writing her first Stetopher fic :D

[one-time-i-dreamt]

When I was very young I had a terrifying dream where my kneecap exploded and water or some sort of liquid started pouring out of it. my mom held me while I cried and water gushed out of my kneecap and flooded my grandma and grandpa’s house.

[grahamkennedy]

Succession fans shouldn't fucking forget about Nick Braun being a predator btw. We need to hold him accountable. I mean I'm still watching Succession because none of the allegations came out until the last season started airing, and with none of it being reported in the press, I wouldn't be surprised if people don't know but like. All of us were talking about it for like a day or so and then we all conveniently forgot.

Here's a Twitter thread compiling some of the allegations and here's the original tiktok that brought this to light. Do not forget this happened, and don't go back to stanning his ass.
