Hello Lexie! I don't know why you've been off, but I really hope you are okay. I was thinking about StL the other day and how much this story gets me. It's been years since I first read it and I still remember how I thought that could actually be a book. You are, without a doubt, one of my favorite writers and I hope you come back to us soon <3

Anon!

I have honestly been off writing fic! I tend to go into a hyperfocus when I'm working on fics - especially STL - and go quiet on tumblr. I have a pile of asks to finish off, but I'm so excited about the new chapters I've got - Variable Stars is effectively being rewritten from scratch for a third time; Jar of Hearts only needs 4k left to finish it off; and STL has about 6k left to write - I've been intensely overthinking the new chapter, and that's what has slowed me down entirely.

And what you've said about STL makes me so happy, Anon. The idea that anyone could compare STL to a book just makes me wiggle. I never set out to write it this way, and I never expected so much love for it. It still catches me unaware how much people care about this story and love it, and I am so humbled by that reaction.

I promise you that I'm here, I'm just in my little writing cave getting these chapters finished before I show my face on tumblr again.

...but have a snippet of the new chapter for your lovely message <3

“I saw you might want to speak to me.” She sits on the cliff face with her legs swinging casually, doesn’t get up or offer for Edward Cullen to take a seat beside her because she knows he won’t. “I do.” Edward looks down, his hands in his pockets to appear casual but she can see the tension in his shoulders and jaw. “I’m surprised Jasper let me get this close to you.” The flashbacks, he worries I’ll hurt someone. Edward lets out a puff of laughter. “I don’t think that’s the reason, myself,” he says. She cocks her head in confusion. “I think it’s an even split between being viciously overprotective of the one person who could kill us all before we even realised what was happening, and wanting your full attention all to himself.”

#asks #my fic: shadow to light #two things to note #one is that i am currently suffering from cervicogenic headaches so i am not anticipating being active on tumblr this week #and two yes i am considering drawing from STL for a YA novel because i love writing it #STL will not be pulled for publication at any time #but there is the possibility of a YA novel with a IYKYK aspect to it in the future #just some musings #do you know how many discarded AU ideas have ended up in my ofic folder over the years?#i am determined to be the author to bring in the 'ride or die' YA fantasy/supernatural romantic couples #love triangles are so 2009 #i'm actually kind of shook how long the joh and stl chapters are #didn't think i'd made it that far yet #stl ch 14 flows straight into ch 15 which is either going to be disastrous or amazing i am undecided

DPxDC Idea

Danny working at Wayne Enterprises as some sort of engineer, uses the in-house app for all his blueprints and stuff

He starts getting notes from a coworker in-app, and assumes its this annoying older guy in his department who constantly undermines him because of his age, despite his education and past achievements (i feel like in this AU the Fentons react well to the reveal and they work together on a number of non-lethal ecto inventions that have Danny's name attached to them)

Except one day his coworker mentions never using the app, and Danny suddenly realizes there's only one other TD he could've been arguing with in the notes of the app

#dp x dc prompt #dpxdc #danny phantom #danny fenton #batman #tim drake #red robin #i have no ideas what happens beyond danny realizing it's been tim the whole time #and having a 'fuck ive been arguing with the big boss' moment #cause of course when he thinks its some asshole from his own department hes snarky as hell #but the ceo??#should he stop with the sarcastic explanations behind his designs?#or will tim think its weird if his tone changes #in my head this does end up being dead tired somehow #just because i love the idea of these two bonding over snarkiness and engineering #and i feel like tim would simultaneously love and hate danny's notes #but also is that actually in character? cause the only batman thing i've read is rhe webtoon #and i know some vague things about canon #but thats it #haven's writing

I wish we could have met in some other way.

Lawlight Week Day 2: Soulmates

If you saw me repost and re-edit this several times uh No you didn't </3

Still frames/Individual gifs:

If you know what every frame is from you get a free cookie. by the way

#death note #dn #light yagami #l lawliet #lawlight #oh god here we go #death note jdrama #death note 2015 #death note 2006 #death note musical #lctw #l change the world #dntm #lawlightweek2024 #my art #collapses i am NEVER putting this much effort in one piece ever again /hj this was the Only one i had mostly prepared in advance #ironically the most painstaking part about making this entire thing was converting the images into an animated file #that wasn't either horrifically compressed or just. wouldn't loop. why do gifs have to look so BAD it's so inconvenient #and THEN i realized I had to forcibly Stitch the two animations together so they would actually be synced and it wouldn't look dumb #and the end result is STILL so compressed. because Tumblr. uhhh just don't click on it it'll look so scuffed LOL. anyways #this is what i get for watching Every Adaptation of Death Note. i am a death note multiverse truther #usually i'd have something clever to say in the tags but. this drained the life out of me just uh.#yeah. they're doomed in every universe. this is the only way they could've met. they are doomed by their own natures and the #circumstances that surround them. there is no universe where light tries to prevent L's death. and even in the cases where L Doesn't die #there is no universe where L can save light. there is no universe where he can truly “catch” Kira and make him see where he went wrong #(<- if you read LCTW you know. :) )#in every universe and adaptation L will call Light his first friend. in some universes they'll take that notion more seriously than others #no matter what one of them will die due to the other. its the only constant. it's the only way it can ever be. they are the others downfall

Birds of a Feather previous / next

#my art #feralnette au #birds of a feather #long tags #sorry I went apeshit in the tags #LETS SAY IT ALL TOGETHER NOW #I - M - A - G - OOOOOOOOO #its fun drawing marinette's back to Alya and having her appear stout and unstoppable and totally logical #and then you see her face and she's like two seconds from completely snapping and is keeping it together by a thread #as a note just because mari feels very certainly abt smth doesnt mean she's right. feelings can be valid and also irrational #in the throes of grief she decided it was better to be alone than to lose someone again so she started pulling away #and lila made pulling away very very very easy to do #shes also vaguely aware she's being unfair in pinning this on alya which is why she started spinning the drain on cockmoth again #legitimately all the shit that's happened to her wouldn't have been so catastrophic if he was never in the picture and she knows it #but the bitterness of her bestie choosing a fantastic liar over her at the worst of times stiiiiiings #alya's personal timing was bad but lila really took advantage of the fact that marinette had been acting off and weird #she basically clocked marinette as being unstable from SOMETHING and made up a lie about her #knowing she wouldn't have the strength to defend herself #between her social life going tachy bc of lila and losing fu in a way that felt like personhood death marinette was really put on the spot #and alya doing her thing of busting in there and assuming her bias is correct was a terrible combo #essentially marinette is highly unstable and alya is just realizing that #busting in and giving her a lecture when she's slightly hysterical and definitely delirious from exhaustion is NOT the way #to show her she's self sabotaging #cuz thats just gonna make her double down on self sabotaging. bc marinette will not accept that she is also a CHIIIIILD

Maybe we never had a chance.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #a-yuan #Ultimately...despite how hard we try to reach people - sometimes it just is not possible.#Sometimes all you can do is wish that things could have been different. You pen a note with all the things you want to say -#and then you let it go. The words stay unsent and unspoken. You just watch the rift between you grow until you're too far away to try again #It is a sad end! It is two people who want to be closer but do not have the right capacity to do anything but shut doors.#Worse yet; it's two people who feel it is not their place to try and impose anything more.#It takes so long to heal from endings like that. You never get enough closure when there is still a faint hope of 'another day'.#It's a false amicability. It's closing a door and telling yourself that at least the windows are unlocked.#WWX will keep up his friendliness as a way to hold LWJ at a distance. LWJ can only try to help so many times.#Speaking of tragedies of trying to help; Let's talk about the addiction metaphors in this episode.#WWX tells LWJ in fairly straightforward terms that he does not *want* do be doing ghost cultivation.#What he wants is to protect people - by any means necessary. If he had another option he would take it.#The path WWX 'chose' is one that is deeply mired in external shame and taboo. He jokes about it but it clearly doesn't feel great.#And I put 'chose' in quotes because just like many who find them selves in bad situations - the choice is an illusion.#He's adamant that this is 'his' choice. That he is in control.#Better to be villainized that endure the terrifying reality that you lack any ability to have choice anymore.#If he had the choice - truly had the choice - he would not be doing this.#You can't help those who don't want to be helped. So of course all LWJ can do is watch from the side. Offer a hand when he can.#This life was a tragedy and the countdown to it all blowing up started a long time ago...

Ok, but Shen Jiu being Shen Yuan's father is so funny in a very tragic way. Shen Jiu is a ball of traumas and all types of issues and i truly believe there's not a single one that man doesn't have, so, you give him a baby!Shen Yuan, a little ball of life that depends on him for survival, cannot walk away from him and is culturally wired to pretty much love him and if not, to at the least respect him above all else, you cannot tell me that this man would be normal about him. Also, imagine Shen Jiu, who'd be the type of parent to project traumas the way only a mother could, having a child that looks like him but with a "sweeter" personality (which, by the way, is bullshit, they just have never seen that boy rip into a book he disliked but wouldn't stop reading) that has the effect on men Shen Yuan has, he'd lock that boy up in a tower to "cultivate" and consequently create a rumor about the Qing Jing's beauty who was so bewitching their peak lord father locked them in a tower because that's just his luck. Loving Shen Yuan wouldn't fix him, but it'd create a whole new set of issues that'd cancel out the other ones

#shen qingqiu #Shen Yuan #shen jiu #Svsss #scum villain #scum villans self saving system #Shen Jiu feels so motherly to me #he's like a divorced pageant mom #On another note he'd push SY and Nyy together because that'd be like killing two birds with a stone #he oficially makes NYY his daughter and keeps both of his children away from evil men #He doesn't exactly see Shen Yuan as man #Like #he raised that boy and knows he doesn't know what to do with his dick #nor does he have the desire to find out #it's like having a daughter tbh #Luo Binghe #Is going to climb that tower and his Shixiong's bed even if it kills him #Liu Qingge #has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever that is rescue that boy from the tower #and end up taking him on a trip to see some beasts before his dad finds out he left #which creates some juicy rumors that the Bai Zhan bridenapped his Shixiong's bewitching son

Sometimes I want to bring Morrigan but then I remember I play as a face-tanking rogue and I bring Wynne. Warden Cousland, Morrigan, Wynne / Dragon Age Origins (c) Bioware

#dragon age #dragon age fan art #comic #morrigan #warden cousland #healer #bioware #dao #dragon age origins #hero of ferelden #cousland #wynne #I'm back. I guess.#I did not notice at first but apparently I took a break from tumblr. I've already had several breakdowns over the dashboard.#(turns out I was on the 'for you' tab rather than the 'following' tab. the theme had changed as well. absolutely insufferable.)#I've felt really unconnected for a while but it actually feels better now? as if my tumblr mutuals was the missing link.#very healthy and hot of me ngl #so. I had a two week holiday this year and they were instantly slurped up. it went so fast!#there was this big football thing the week before my holiday - basically teams of teens come from all around the world to play etc.#I heard a girl tell her teammates that 'I'd love to travel on this bus every morning; happy people all around you; just add some music...'#she was also very excited when the bridge opened. the 'happy people' around her sighed bitterly and leaned back for a ten minute wait.#it is thankfully over now. the bus home is no longer stuffed full of football teams. but it's a fun experience for the players etc etc etc #well. in other thrilling news I went to spy on our sister shops during my time off. to see what they do differently. maybe steal some ideas #one store was like an instagram post with fancy teacups and stylish outfits. who knew a second-hand store could be so boring.#the other was like a man-cave with furniture and a passively-aggressive note by the toys stating that 'if u break it u pay. idiot. tnx<3'.#the man-cave was my favourite :)#rant over now! take care and bye etc!

A dreadful night

#tf2 #tf2 fanart #team fortress 2 #team fortress 2 fanart #tf2 engineer #dell conagher #myart #my art #my 2024 art #whoops im thinking too close to the sun #this is technically art for a fic i wrote but it can stand on its own two legs #basically imo the gunslinger is the result of a long night of drinking #and engie overcompensating for feeling like he's not living up to his family's legacy #i wanted to convey a constrictive atmosphere or like. dread. bad things. wack #which i think i did a decent job at #anyway rant over! hope you like the art #on that note im going on vacations so next few posts will be queued #i cooked up some nice art for the next month

~ Extremely Unwilling Magical Protagonists Attempt To Outrun The Plot And Not Fucking Die ~

(@takofukkatsumi this tag is from a while ago but it hasn't left my brain -- L-Space got very weird all of a sudden)

#discworld #rincewind #the luggage #svsss #shen qingqiu #sqq #takofukkatsumi honestly thank you for this tag i've been chuckling on and off about the luggage overtaking sqq for a while now #something about it feels Right. no one expects the luggage until it's on you #honestly my main goal out of this picture is to force svsss fans to witness The Luggage and its horrible legs #shen yuan and rincewind hit that awkward point where you're keeping pace with a stranger #you can't quite manage to speed up or slow down at the right point to break contact #so they end up having a VERY weird conversation #at least anything sqq says is not the weirdest thing rincewind has heard #got sucked into a book? let him introduce you to the librarian #actually now i want the librarian to meet the system #if anyone could figure out a way to beat the system's head in it'd be an orangutan offended on behalf of literary characters everywhere #conversely both sqq and sqh are capable of ''speaking'' with pratchett style footnotes ARE are capable of seeing each other's footnotes #they weaponize this against each other immediately #honestly intrigued to see how many notes this gets - what's the general overlap between discworld fans and mxtx fans?#or is it literally the two of us here in this venn diagram?#i feel like it should exist though - are both not simply fantasy parodies in one variety or another??#my art

THE GLORIA SCOTT - part 2, and a follow up to my comic for the first half of this scene! thanks sm to @crashingmeteorz for allowing me to source validation for my whimsical cosmic approach to this moment <3

#sherlock & co #sherlock and co #i had such a distinct and vivid image for this scene in my mind when i first considered drawing it #but i was worried people might find it. too weird?? but . i dont want to draw 13 pages of two men lying on a bed #so heres my heavy visual metaphor for the ways in which i think john and sherlock are trying to connect with each other in this scene #i hope it makes sense!#i have so many feelings about this scene i cant put it into words so it had to be a comic instead #another note i was already working on this when joff's floorplan released and i didnt want to reshuffle the entire composition to conform #wouldnt have worked #but future comics will take the canon floorplan into account #uhmm #oh yeah also wanted to mention: i took inspiration from Space Boy the webcomic. so. read that if u vibe with this kind of storytelling #another thing: sleep well by electric president - tracks 4 5 and 6 #patsart

Steve Cobs I hope you EXPLO- oh wait.

#inanimate insanity #ii #mephone4 #steve cobs #art #digital art #fanart #comic #abuse tw #violence tw #smoking tw #child abuse tw #<- I dont consider mephone a child but youknow just in case #gjinka #pre-canon #My man you built him to care about your health what did you expect #I dont think he smokes often but he has a stressful job so he lets himself occasionally #He was supposed to be wearing a suit but I forgottt and I put him in his alt outfit on accident. Dumb little suspenders.#I should also note that Mephones face and hands are the only places built with sensation so yeah this is especially awful #AND THEN THE WAY HE JUST USES HIM AS AN ALEXA AT THE END. “Hmmmm yes Schedule an appointment for me will you?”#And its scheduled for the the afternoon of the next day too. He's not in any rush. Let Mephone sit with it a while.#And of course he's not going to be too pressed if the repair gets put off for a day. or two. He's a busy guy.#He has better things to do than clean up what Mephones brought on himself.
