we’re u n b e c o m i n g

unbecoming by @vyva-melinkolya is out now ! !

[particular-one]

we would’ve been timeless.

synopsis. how they would react and cope after you left their lives. characters. jing yuan, dan heng, blade, gepard x gn!reader (separate) author's note. congrats, you have made it to the vault (carlyle's version). due to the 1.2 update i will not shut up about hsr and speak now tv. sorry if this was short, the writer's block is still kinda there. lmk if u want any other character!

jing yuan would be a bit more dignified about losing you. after all, after everything he has witnessed in his long, long life, he knew that it would only be inevitable that he would lose you, too. but for the amount of loss that he has experienced, it did not make it any easier for him to cope. your presence always made everything just a tad bit bearable and he missed that sorely. on the outside, jing yuan would make sure that he would seem fine, greeting everyone warmly and nodding to their consolations, but the moment the public's eyes are off him, he'd be devoid of any emotion. you had always likened jing yuan to the sun, he'd remember, before you went on a tangent about his eyes again, but the true sun in his life was you. and you were gone.

dan heng would immediately blame himself. no matter the circumstance, he'd chalk it up to the karma of being with someone like him. it was apparent how much happier you made him when you were together — the astral express would always comment how he seemed to glow around you despite the neutral expression he always wore — that everything just turned dead when you were gone. at least, that's how it was like for him. no more of indulging in the silly romantic antics that you'd drag him in — oh, how he'd give anything for one last adventure with you. dan heng would spend most of his time locked in the archives after this, his mind awake and going over every tender memory you shared with him. his most favorite one was when you sung to him; now, it'd be the only voice haunting him before he fell into the deepest slumber.

blade would not believe it first. you made a promise to him that you would stay with him, no matter how long it takes. you promised that to him, and he does not take the promise of forever lightly. when the undeniable is presented to him, blade would lose control over the overflowing emotion in him. he's in despair, he's seething in anger, he's breaking down in labored cries, even kafka does not want to be around him when he'd be experiencing all these at once. he'd curse his immortality again over and over, wishing that the universe would finally grant him his wish to die, because all he wants now is to be reunited in your arms, your hand gently stroking his hair and your voice whispering to him that you were there and you were fine. he would swear to never love again, not like how he loved you.

gepard would break down at the news. rightfully, it was unbecoming of the captain to react in such a public manner, but he did not care. you had always made sure he was taking care of himself, that he'd just condemn himself for losing the best thing that ever happened to him. he'd work thrice as hard and sink himself deeper into his duties afterwards. as you were no longer there to chastise him for overworking himself to the bone, gepard would be prone to collapsing every time he pushed himself too hard. even when serval would call him out on this self destructive behavior, he wouldn't listen. some nights, he'd swear that he, delirious and sleep deprived, sees you standing right next to him, a frown on your face as he stayed up all night to finish the documents. "don't look at me like that" he'd say, but how he would wish for you to say something to reprimand and snap him out of it.

Act8: “Reunion of the Magical Princess”

＜＜Gashaaan! >>

A large number of sharp pieces of window glass are scattered on the hotel's luxurious scarlet carpet...!

The monster's strong arms didn't stop as it tore down the glass wall of the second-floor atrium with all its might... It gouged through the floor, grabbed a white cafe table that had been thrown up, broke it into pieces, and headed towards a point. I threw it.

＜＜Dogagagaga! >>

The terrifying throw of destruction seemed to crush the poor waiter who was near the kitchen...but all of it was blocked by a psychic barrier that shone in cobalt blue, and it shattered into pieces. Masu.

"A monster that obstructs business! I'll eliminate it!"

It was Silver, a silver hedgehog with psychic powers, who screamed and his whole body was filled with psychic green light.

The monster that stands in the way is a giant golem that looks up at you and is made of a collection of toys and junk. The moment when Silver, his black garcon apron flapping in the air, tried to wield his "power" towards the monster...!

＜＜Dooooooong! >>

This time, the crimson flame arrow grazed Silver's side and hit the monster. Blow away that giant body.

After a roar, the maid descended to protect Silver while brushing off a veil of flames, turned around with her elegant black silk apron skirt, and spoke to him without even moving an eyebrow.

"Run, waiter. This is no place for ordinary people."

...Silver is not amused by being suddenly interrupted and treated like an amateur.

"You're a maid, aren't you? What on earth are you!" "The one who protects the weak from evil monsters... is the Magic Princess Blaze!"

"Magic, Koujo...?"

Blaze jumps towards the monster, leaving behind Silver, who becomes stunned for a moment. Silver couldn't resist protesting as he hurriedly chased after him.

“Who is the weak one?”

The fight against monsters is only a defensive battle.

The flame wielded by Blaze does indeed hit the monster, but it only scrapes the surface of the monster's body...Then, the fragments are immediately pulled together by a mysterious force, coalescing and returning to their original state. It is.

"First of all, I came here with the intention of doing an undercover investigation as a maid, but I didn't expect to be suddenly involved in a battle..."

Blaze, who can't move as much as she wants in her maid uniform, can't help but click her tongue.

``I was also asked to be a bodyguard at this coffee shop, and I became a waiter waiting for a monster, but I didn't find him as good as this.''

Silver agrees that he is an unexpectedly strong enemy.

"I mean, this store provides uniforms, right? Why did you bring your maid uniform?" "I-is that so? Emmy told me to wear this..."

Blaze flinched at the unexpected remark and blushed as he pinched the frills on his shoulders...but in the meantime Blaze turned around and said this to Silver.

"Hey, don't move around in front of me! You're getting in the way and I can't concentrate my firepower!" "Attack isn't working, right? First, find the weak point that triggers recovery!"

In the end, an argument begins instead of a battle. And the monster didn't miss that chance...

<< Zugon! Dogogo...! >>

The monster slowly...gathered its strength deeply, raised both of its fists, and fired a powerful blow toward the ceiling. The impact pierced the ceiling on the coffee shop floor and the ceiling on the floor above, all the way to the roof of the hotel, causing a major collapse.

A huge waterfall of frighteningly heavy rubble attacks Blaze and the others, increasing its muddy flow as it falls. When they both looked up, it seemed like it was too late...

The next moment!

"Huh!"

Silver instantly jumps over Blaze's head, spreads his arms out as if to protect her, and deploys a psychic barrier...! After deflecting the incoming collapse, Blaze uses it as a counterattack to repel the attack of the monster that attacked Silver from within the dust, and at the same time blows away the surrounding dust with explosive flames.

...This is a moment of perfect cooperation with no compromises. After catching their breath in a close call, the two finally opened their mouths.

"My body moved on its own...I don't feel like I'm meeting you for the first time." "...Ah."

Then, as he regained his stance and restored his body, Blaze continued with a serious look on his face as he looked at the monster approaching the two of them.

"I made two mistakes. The first was that I underestimated the enemy and came here without being fully prepared."

Still in the same position, this time I continued to look into Silver's eyes.

"Waiter. Please give me 20 seconds..." "I don't mind...but before that, can I ask you the second question?"

After a moment's hesitation, Blaze answered with a resolute look on his face.

"Secondly, I was disrespectful and disrespectful to my comrades who I should be relying on. That..."

Blaze interrupts him by saying he's sorry, and Silver agrees to Blaze's request.

"It's okay Blaze, we're both good friends! It's okay. I'll hold out for 20 seconds or 200 years! ...So, would you like one for me too?" "...?"

"My name is Silver."

The next moment, Blaze is immediately engulfed in scorching flames. With her eyes closed and her mind concentrating...Silver senses that she is trying to control some great power.

"Silver, thank you......Haaaaaaaaa!"

Blaze is about to unleash a blow that will change the situation, knowing the risk of exposing his defenseless side. That expectation and trust inspired Silver.

"I'll do it! Ha!"

Silver deploys full power of psychic energy in all directions. Hold the rubble all over this floor and prevent the monster from restoring, while at the same time hitting everything with psychic attacks to keep it in check...! I will protect Blaze.

However, fighting for a long time while protecting immovable objects is disadvantageous. Since you have to endure every attack that comes your way without avoiding it, you end up in a very poor situation.

Silver's plan was to survive the attack by not allowing it to attack, but the monster also seems to have noticed the plan and intensifies its attack.

What a long time 20 seconds is! How long can we hold out? Just when Silver's knees are about to fall due to repeated bullets...!

＜＜Doooooooo! ! >>

As the explosion of loud flames spread, Blaze, enveloped in such dazzling flames that it was impossible to keep his eyes open, finally released his power... and blew away the monster. It's ready.

"Aaah...! Mysterious sun, respond to the power of my flame...!"

The seven jewels on Blaze's pochette begin to contain flames and grow brighter one by one as her power grows.

Just when the monster was about to make a desperate attack with all its might, all of its power imploded on her...Blaze declared the execution of great power.

"Magical Princess Blaze! Burning Unlimited Mode! Haaaaa!"

Blaze wears multiple layers of flame in seven colors and transforms into a pillar of scorching heat. For a moment, huge wings of flame spread across her back, but they immediately dispersed and condensed into her outstretched arms...! It becomes a tremendous torrent of flame and pours out towards the monster.

"Haaaaaa!" "Haaaaaa!"

The monster also tries to resist by taking a defensive stance, but Silver supports Blaze from behind as he is pushed by the recoil of the flames, increasing its power, and he can no longer withstand it.

Everything that formed the monster was blown away, and the energy body at its center caused a huge explosion.

<< Zudoooon! >>

A huge roaring explosion that could be heard all the way to an island in the sky. The monster finally disappeared.

"Ciao, chao!"

After the dust from the explosion finally dissipated... In the remains of the monster's explosion, there was a small Chao of light crying.

The true nature of the monster was Chao's residual thoughts.

As Blaze and the others watch, the Chao of Light eventually finds a hole in the dilapidated floor, and as if realizing something, it happily steps inside.

"......?" "this is!?"

When the two of them follow Chao, they discover that they are in the basement of a coffee shop...and beneath the floor is a lush green garden with a clear stream.

The Chao of Light then stepped inside, looked around, and with a satisfied smile, disappeared into a pale light. I see...the two of them said.

"When building this coffee shop, you blocked the Chao's home..." "That monster was a mass of grudges from the Chao's who wanted to return to their hometown."

The two of them, who have come to understand the circumstances of the incident, look relieved, but sigh at the devastation surrounding them. The area has been completely destroyed, and there is no trace of that wonderful interior.

"Well, the incident has been resolved for the time being...but the store was destroyed in a spectacular manner, so we have to clean it up."

Blaze responded in a calm manner while smiling bitterly at Silver's suggestive tone.

"Okay. What should I do?"

When the two of them looked up at the light shining in from above, what they saw through the hole in the collapsed ceiling was a dazzling blue sky cut out beautifully like a painting. It was filled with clear light, as if reflecting the brightness of their hearts.

"One month later..."

After major renovations, this shop, which connected the mysterious Chao garden as an open cafe area, has been renovated as ``Chao Garden,'' a maid-style cafe that combines formality with a Chao-friendly warmth, and has gained a great reputation. Ta.

While Silver and Blaze are busy helping rebuild the store, an unexpected visitor appears. As soon as they saw each other, they stiffened without even serving customers...

"S-Sonic...!? Are you Sonic!?" "Why are you dressed like that...and us too!? What the heck is going on!?"

The moment they saw Sonic, Blaze and Silver regained their memories.

"Hey! You guys...!"

Sonic was also surprised by this, but Tails noticed that at this time, the chaos emeralds that Sonic and his friends were holding, the jewelry of Blaze's tail, and the silver pendant all glowed faintly at the same time. I didn't miss it. While Tails was deep in thought, the two of them searched through their memories before and after the incident.

"The moment I came to this world under the guidance of the Sol Emerald, I was caught up in that light."

Blaze said while stroking the seven jewels on her pochette. Marin, who came with him, wonders what to do.

"I was fighting at Eggman's base just moments ago. I was trying to prevent some kind of weapon from activating..."

Silver worries that he can't remember properly.

"In any case, how did the two of you manage to regain your memories?"

Tails took out his proud ``energy sensor'' and explained it to Sonic.

＜＜Beep beep...＞＞

"I knew it! Blaze's tail jewelry and silver pendant are mutated Chaos Emeralds! Just like ours."

Tails explains that from the wavelength of the energy emitted, they are definitely Chaos Emeralds, which is why they definitely glowed when the two regained their memories.

“As a phenomenon, the Chaos Emeralds have the power to resist this strange phenomenon.Although one is not enough, there are several nearby, and one of them has the original memory... I think that's the condition for resurrection.'' ``There certainly doesn't seem to be any problem thinking that way. As expected, Tails!''

Tails gets shy after being praised by Sonic, and Blaze and Silver also respond.

“I hear that emeralds sometimes attract each other with a mysterious power in times of crisis.I was forced to have this one from Emmy because it was the guidance of the stars...This is also one of those powers. Maybe it's Tsuna.' ' ``Certainly. It's so easy to gather four of them like this...? Huh? Isn't it strange? If that's the case, how come Sonic and Tails, who only have one each, are safe?'' Did you?”

At the obvious question, the three people's eyes focused on Tails.

"That's... At the moment the incident occurred, Sonic and I were together, each holding a Chaos Emerald. I think that's why it didn't work from the beginning... , I guess. Sorry, I can't be sure..."

Tails was starting to lose confidence as he continued to make deductions, but Sonic assured him with a smile.

"In other words, it's because of Tails that I'm safe, and vice versa, right? Isn't it great that we're the same? This is it!"

Blaze and Silver agree while looking at Tails, who is confused and extremely shy.

"Hmm. At this point, it would be best to have a better interpretation of the details of truth or falsehood. The most important thing is..." "It means that we have found a way to restore our friends!"

"YES! That's right!" "That's right!"

Tails finally regains his composure and starts proposing strategies to his friends.

``...I'll give the detector to Blaze and Silver as well. Now let's divide up and find the friends who have Chaos Emeralds and revive them! And in the end, we'll collect 7 Chaos Emeralds. I’m sure it will be your trump card.”

"I understand. I agree with your strategy. I'll leave the rest behind." "I understand. My Sol Emerald also says we should do the same."

Blaze agrees as he strokes the Sol Emerald, which trembles as it emits a pale flame.

"It's getting interesting," Sonic said in his usual tone as he stood up, and the remaining three got ready to leave with fearless smiles on their faces.

"That Eggman guy. I don't know what he did, but we'll definitely hunt him down with our hands!"

Sonic and his friends took another step forward, and with a new hope in their hands, they took another step forward...!

Detention

Written for @prongsfoot-microfic prompt May 16, 2023: Detention

Sirius propped up the mirror and set it around the level where his face was while working. Over in his separate detention, James did the same.

"This sucks," James says, stating the obvious.

"Right? Why'd they decide to split us up, anyways?" Sirius has a few ideas, but James was the one McGonagall broke the news to. He has a sneaking suspicion that they weren't told at the same time because James and Sirius didn't stop talking when a professor tries to politely nudge their way into a conversation. They've talked professors into resigned acceptance more than a few times over the years. He doesn't know when the teachers finally figured out that detention stopped feeling like a punishment and more like a mild annoyance, but it wound up with them here, in separate (miserable) detentions. He hates it.

James makes a face. "They said we were having too much fun together."

"Bugger. I knew it."

"Right? Utter shite they're talking."

"Exactly, we would've had much more fun out of detention."

"I think that time we started snogging didn't help," James says with a small smirk.

Sirius snickers. "Yeah, that probably didn't help, but what else were we supposed to do? We were done writing lines, and McGonagall wasn't back yet."

"I tried to make that plea, she said it didn't matter," he says dryly.

"Ah, 'unbecoming' of us, was it?"

James can't help but grin. "That might've been the word she used."

Sirius sends a smacking kiss towards the mirror, and gets one in return. It's enough to make him smile, but neither of them believe it makes up for the horrible, unforgivable act of separating them. Still, it's better than nothing.

[castlebyersafterdark]

Post production takes a long time. Probably the longest out of pre-production and actual filming. Even if they were sending things to post after filming them, it wouldn't matter - if they have over 650 hours of footage, it's still going to take them an enormous amount of time to edit it all, on top of the vfx that need to be added in. If we're being realistic, if they are aiming for a November release, that means post is actually taking a shorter time than it usually would (again, probably because post production + filming were happening simultaneously.)

As someone who wants to go into the industry and therefore knows a good bit about all of this- it frustrates me to no end seeing those asks people sent in (particularly the THE FUCK one). Like, first of all, the duffers had No Control over the strikes that happened literally right when they were set to begin filming in 2023. That wasn't their fault - it was the fault of the greedy ass studios who wouldn't pay their writers and actors. Did we all just forget about this major thing happening??

Second, STRANGER THINGS IS A HUGE FUCKING PRODUCTION. I don't think people quite grasp how much work goes into this show. It's not a high school slice of life teen drama that has a new season come out every year. it is a MAJOR PRODUCTION. there are an enormous amount of vfx to be added in (like the writhing vines in the upside down, the storms in the upside down, etc) and that is an art all on its own and takes time. But this is also just 1 aspect of post. There are so many more. I get why people are impatient - I am too. But once you really learn how insanely hard editors, vfx artists, hell, even subtitlers work - it becomes really hard to get frustrated over this taking so long.

If you want to blame anyone in this, blame netflix for withholding pay from the people that make them money in the first place. Not the people putting so much love and effort into this show.

Very very important to keep in mind!! We want the very best show, from the people dedicated to the art, putting everything into it, to ultimately deliver US this creation. Disservice to want it rushed. There's more to life than instant gratification. I really really also value taking the time to do things right. From being a fan and unbecoming a fan of big franchises that I feel lost quality and meaning from rush jobs and lack of care and consumerism - I appreciate the cast and crew of Stranger Things for having this level of integrity for the craft. It's something to be celebrated. We will get the show. There's no threat of never getting the show.

happy unbecoming by @vyva-melinkolya day to all who celebrate

Unkind (Hibana)

Kinktober 2023 Day Fifteen: Humiliation

𝙒𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚? ⇒ 𝙈𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩

𝙟𝙤𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙧?

𝙗𝙪𝙮 𝙢𝙚 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙚?

You don’t even know what you did to begin with. You don’t know why you. You don’t know why now. And most of all? 

  You don’t even know how to make it out of this mess with your sanity still intact. 

  But what were you expecting? Seriously, what were you expecting? This is Captain Hibana you’re talking about. When is she not this way? When is she normal? Or merciful? Or understanding? Or anything?

  And when is she ever kind to anyone? To you.

  Because one minute, you’re sitting at your desk. A dark, dark room with only one window in the paperwork filing office. Knee-deep in some paperwork that one of your crewmates pushed off to you at the very last minute. You were supposed to be on break hours ago. You were supposed to be cuddled up in your cot taking a nap or in the mess hall- finally getting something to eat after hours and hours of taking care of all the work that was pushed in front of you by seemingly any and everyone.

  The next minute, the door to the office shoots open with a loud, startling bang that made you jump. Why? Simple. Because Captain Hibana came looking for you. And you had no time to greet her as she searched the room for you and snatched up your wrist. You had no time to protest or to question her as she dragged you up and out of your seat and pulled you down the hall. Grumbling and muttering to herself the entire way. And even now- your questions remain unanswered. Your mind still remains curious. But you can’t question your superiors. You just can’t. So there’s very little you can do. There’s very little you want to do. 

  Especially since she now has you bend over the conference table with your skirt flipped up and a strap stuffed in your hole in front of the entirety of Company Five’s executive board.

  “Mmm…” It’s hard for you to completely hold in your moans of soft pleasure. But every little sound you make turns the attention back onto you. Oh- who are you kidding? The attention was always on you. From the very second Captain Hibana had you barge into such an important meeting. From the very moment, she had you stepping out of your panties and dropping them in her hand. Confiscating them from you. While you could do nothing but let her guide you by the hips as she got you in the position she wanted you in. Back arched. Facing the table and board room full of people. Head back. Eyes forward. Mouth shut. “Ahh~”

  And a hole open nice and wide for Lady Hibana to do whatever the hell she wanted with it. 

  You and Captain Hibana always had a little bit of an odd relationship. But you always chalked it up to her being an eccentric woman. Sure, she was always the first person to give you a compliment about your appearance. But she was always so critical of your work. And sure, she may have touched you over your clothes in a few places that are…unbecoming of a Captain and one of her crewmates. But she was the first to chew you out whenever you got something wrong or didn’t carry out something perfectly. But when work was said and done, she had moments when she was kind to you. So, so kind.

  But this? This isn’t kind.

  This is forcing you to take as much of the eight-inch strap-on as you can handle. This carding her fingers through your hair and grabbing a fist full to make you take even more than you can handle of it. Still is stretching your poor, just barely prepared pussy, so stretch around something so thick and so hard that just makes you so, so, so full. This is to tell you that it’ll be over soon. Once the meeting is done. Once she thinks you’ve had enough. Once you’ve learned your lesson. What lesson are you learning though? You don’t know. You just don’t know. So you do the only thing you can do: You shut up.

  “Mm…ah~!”

  And you take it like a good girl.

  But it’s not that easy. It’s not that simple. Because it’s not just you and your Captain. It’s you, and her, and your panties in her jacket pocket and a room full of people who are your superiors. It’s more than embarrassing that they’re watching you getting fucked like this. It’s mortifying. Their silence. There stares. Their very presence. It makes your blood run hot. It makes your breathing grow heavy. And somehow it makes your cunny even wetter than before. Knowing that they’re watching you. Knowing that there’s nothing to do but to sit and listen to this stupid meeting or just watch you get fucked so openly.

  And so, currently, you’re doing anything and everything to distract yourself. You’re trying to think about all the work you still have to get done instead of letting your eyes wander to your lieutenant and focusing on how he’s never once stopped looking at your lips- especially as you moan. You’re trying to think about what you’re going to eat after this instead of looking at the company’s Head engineer and how he hasn’t stopped biting at his lips and sneaking glances in your direction whenever he thinks you’re not looking. You’re trying to think about how the dark, cool wood of the table is digging into your skin rather than letting yourself arrive at the proper conclusion behind why the company’s Head Scientist is moving their hand like that just out of view and under the table. You’re trying to think about anything. Everything. 

  “Ohh…mm…”

  Except the feeling of slow and steady pleasure overwhelming you completely.

  “Now, as I was saying…” From behind you, Captain Hibana remarks steadily, cutting off your wanton moans completely. As if she’s not slowly rocking her hips and rolling the strap into you. Your face flushes in embarrassment as every little movement your Captain causes your pussy to let out wet, loud, lewd sounds that signify just how receptive you are to this type of treatment. But almost as if she can understand your feelings. Almost as if she can understand truly just how compromising of a position she put you in, she places a hand on your lower back- just where your ass begins. It’s a gentle touch. Soft. Sweet almost. And for a second, you felt like this moment was something other than a divine punishment. For a second, you felt like this situation could be salvaged. That you could be saved. That she who put you in this mess could save you. But…this is Captain- no, this is Princess Hibana we’re talking about.  “...before the company slut had to go about her whining.”

    So why would you ever believe that a Princess such as her could ever be kind to someone like you?

[anartisticalniche]

Spoilers for the new episode

Okay, before getting into the new episode review, i wanna address something real quick, and I believe you all know what it is.

So before anyone asks, yes, I have been staying up to date on the drama situation.

Imma just say that what Glitch did is awful and very unbecoming of an Indie company for animation, and the employees did not deserve this kind of treatment.

However, this will not stop me from watching SMG4 as a show and draw fanarts of it.

Joining this fandom was the best decision I ever took, and I've meet so many wonderful people that inspired me so much during these past few months, taking me out of an art block and lack of inspiration to do art projects that I had ever since 2020.

So for me to just leave isn't really on my plans, at all, and I will keep doing what makes me happy, and I also have to thank SMG4 for it.

I will not obviously support Glitch by buying their merch, as I do believe they need to apologize for their awful behaviour towards those that didn't deserve this.

Once done that, and once they try to better themselves, I might try to rethink on my decision, but for now, this is my stance on it.

And now, onto the review!

This episode made me had a stupid silly grin the entire time ajhjhsjhds

like, I love how this was Luke and James just hanging out and messing around, and then they went: "This could totally be a video lol we should do that in universe-"

So we get SMG4 and 3 hanging out and playfully arguing with each other on their opinions on their friends and what kind of places theyd have on a power tier list XD

The just giggled like idiots and argued, but this has to be the most playful and friendly approach they had in a while, ever since the WOTFI 2023.

They weren't at each others throats, and it was a breath of fresh air, and a way to show how these two interact when theyre cool with each other

Now you're gonna say: "But this was Luke and James interacting, its not similar to how Three and Four interact. So this is just them using the characters to rappresent themselves."

And my answer to that is that no, it isnt.

You could think of it as a meta way of the guys interacting, but including in universe scenes and voice acting at the beginning and end of the video, makes it so that this is something that Four and Three would do, as friends.

Their relationship is growing more and more, and its a clear sign that these many episodes with these two as protagonists makes it so that its hinting at the next short arc being focused on them.

Now I dont know if it could be a good or a bad sign, but it is a sign nonetheless.

And i cant wait to see what it could develop into.

Guili Plains: the sitcom

In which Cloud Retainer forces Morax to choose superior invention at gun point and he chooses a gun, Yaksha siblings have to deploy Xiao’s secret power while being caught between a rock and a dust goddess, and Guizhong invents a music machine which can bring tears even to the eyes of Lord of Geo.

Characters: Morax, Guizhong, Cloud Retainer, Xiao, Bosacius, Bonanus, Indarias, Menogias

Warnings: none, safe for view, Morax and Guizhong could be read as either platonic or married for 300 years. 2023 Lantern Rite spoilers I guess?

Kinda part 2 of this fic , but can be read as stand alone. Pure fluff and comedy.

..... I .....

“Ah,” Morax said, very carefully and prepared himself for the tough conversation when he saw his two friends this evening. He knew a storm approaching even before the thunder hit. “And to what do I owe the pleasure?”

“I don’t have anything to say about the farce she proposes,” Guizhong said in a tone that suggested she actually had quite a lot to say.

Cloud Retainer ignored this statement, but her eye twitched.

“We seek your council to use your authority as our arbiter to resolve the argument of whose mechanical creation is more superior.”

“You do,” Guizhong said immediately. “I do not. I *know* I’m better.”

Morax blinked, slowly considering his next words.

“Did it not occur to you that I… uh, am not so well versed in the art of engineering as both of you are?”

“Yes, that’s the entire point of her bringing in an ignorant layman as an authority,” Guizhong said. “She plans to impress, no, to *bamboozle* you with the unnecessary complexity of her plans, so that you’ll naively name her the best engineer.” 

“One thinks that Rex Lapis, as the most spiritually in touch with our nation, should be the one to realize which invention connects to it’s traditions.”

Morax blinked again.

“You’re doing your lizard thing,” Guizhong said. “With the slow, but repetitive blinking, not with the tail. You’re stressing him out, Cloud Retainer.”

He was too sober for this.

“Ladies, would you like to have a refreshment drink?” he said, walking up to a table with a wine decanter and filling up the cups.

“Sure,” said Guizhong. “I’ve been too sober for this for at least the last hour.”

Cloud Retainer squinted at him and said, “One might prefer to excuse herself from the festivities.”

“Oh, are you still not over his square cups?” Guizhong said, picking hers up and rolling her eyes. “Come on!”

“One just thinks that it is highly unusual to...“ Cloud Retainer glanced at him, cut herself off with a fake cough, fixed her glasses and continued. “It bears no importance. But back to the matter, allow one to introduce you to one’s humble invention, which represents a pinnacle of form and function that a loom can ever achieve...“

She was unrolling the scrolls with design on the table while Guizhong elbowed Morax and whispered conspiratorially “Psst. I have snacks. Do you want me to bring them out so you can pull out square plates too?”

“Is it Mora meat?” he asked back in a same hushed voice.

“Yeah.”

“No. This pettiness would be unbecoming of us.”

Guizhong narrowed her eyes, “You just don’t want me to eat my lowly mora meat with your fancy wine. You know what, you deserve her snobbery for your snobbery.”

“... And this is why it’s obvious that intricacy of one’s design is clearly superior to ballista's simpleton construction,“ Cloud Retainer was gesturing at her scrolls. “Though for the sake of fairness we should give Guizhong opportunity to present herself.“

“No need, I’ve heard quite a lot about it,“ Morax said and Guizhong huffed. She downed her wine in one gulp like a shot (Morax winced) and stepped up to Cloud Retainer.

“You know what’s your problem? You fundamentally misunderstand the true purpose of engineering. You think you’re better by the virtue of making your designs so complex and intricate that no one can repeat them, but it is in fact the opposite. Good engineering is about perfecting and simplifying the design until it can be easily used, maintained, replicated or upgraded by others. My ballista is so simplified on purpose, so that even someone untrained like him”, Guizhong pointed at Morax, who almost choked on the wine he was sipping, “would be able to fix and use it if needed with the minimal information he’s got from listening to me rumble. We make these machines for the PEOPLE, Cloud Retainer, not for bragging about how unique and intricate you can make your gears.“

Cloud Retainer pursed her lips and said, ice cold and glaring daggers over the edge of her glasses.

“One believes we’ve heard enough. It is time for you to name the winner, Lord Morax.“

“Oh, just name her and let’s be done with it. I don’t know why I’m wasting my time trying to explain the ethos of good design while all this arrogant bird wants is a meaningless stroke to her ego.“

Morax finished his wine, put the square cup down carefully and met Cloud Retainer’s eyes.

“If you demand me to choose, I will have to choose ballista.“

“What? Preposterous!“

“Yeah, of course he chose right winner for the wrong reasons.“

“We’re at war, Cloud Retainer,“ he said calmly. “Obviously, our nation would presently benefit more from a weapon than a loom. I don’t know what you expected me to do.“

“One expected you to have a better judgement, but perhaps one was mistaken indeed.“

Morax took a deep breath.

“Would you like some snacks?“ he finally said pleasantly and conjured a square plate.

..... II .....

“So, what is so urgent that we’ve been summoned for?“

Bosacius held up all four of his arms in a shrug in answer to Menogias, who just joined a group and tried to keep with a quick pace, but look dignified at the same time.

“Would’ve told you already if I knew. I was only told to assemble everyone and get to Rex Lapis’ tent as quickly as possible.“

“Was there an invasion?“ Bonanus speculated, tucking a strain of blue hair behind her horns in a worry. “Why else would Lord Morax need all of us at once?“

“A couple of us would be enough to handle a simple conflict on the borders. No, it must be a new hostile god at least!” Indarias said. “Ah, I hope he’s flammable, I’m tired of the wet aquatic freaks that you can’t even set on fire.” 

Alatus pursed his lips and shot Indarias a disapproving glare. ”Our duty is no laughing matter.”

She chuckled and ruffled his hair. “Oh, cheer up, little one, it wouldn’t kill you to have some fun once in a while.”

Alatus bristled in indignation, but before he could answer, they’ve reached the tent and muffled sounds of heated argument from within stopped any attempt at bickering. Everyone looked at Bosacius. He sighed and stepped first inside of the tent.

“... solutely ridiculous and I would not stand for you treating me like I’m some helpless useless... What is that?“

Guizhong and Morax turned when Bosacius appeared. He gave a ceremonial bow, looking pointedly away.

“My Lord. My Lady.“

The rest of yakshas entered the tent and stood in what was less of a military line and more of a group huddled behind Bosacius wide back.

“Generals,“ Morax said calmly. “You are to follow lady Guizhong on her mission and ensure her safety.“

“Oh, for fuck’s sake... All five of them?! I’m going on a scouting trip, not to declare a war!“

“You’re going into what is basically a hostile territory, hence even the need for ballista there.“

“So? I can take care of myself, I don’t need five yaksha generals babysitting me. They can do something more important.“

“Your safety is of the outmost importance.“

“You are so stubborn about the stupidest things sometimes! General, you have to agree that escort of all yakshas at once is a dumbass idea?”

Bosacius startled, being suddenly put on the spot. Bonanus made a squeaky noise behind his back. Menogias grunted, Indarias fire crackled in agitation. He could feel the stares of all of them at the back of his head. Bosacius looked from indignant Guizhong to Morax, who did not look like he was open to criticism.

“My Lady,“ he said diplomatically. “We yakshas are a simple folk, born for battles. We are soldiers, give us orders and we will fight to death, but I certainly could not hope to give any valuable input into your strategizing decisions.“

Yakshas behind his back breathed out in unison.

“Wow, you really are turning into a tyrant,“ Guizhong said to Morax, who raised an eyebrow in a expression that usually stopped all arguing, but she proceeded without missing a beat. “Even your strongest generals are afraid to voice their opinion.”

“Enough! I’m leaving and i’m leaving *alone*,“ she turned to yakshas and gave them a narrowed look. “And if someone tried to follow me, I would like them to consider that being crushed by a stone spear is a quick and easy death, but dying from chocking on dust is a very slow and painful torture.“

She stormed out of tent. Bosacius looked at Morax.

“Follow her,“ the geo lord said calmly. Bonanus squeaked urgently, Menogias rumbled and elbowed Bosacius.

“Um,“  Bosacius said. “As my Lord commands. I would just like to mention that it might be hard for us to ensure Lady’s safety while choking on dust.“

“Follow her stealthily,“ Morax said after a pause.

“Um,” Bosacius started saying. Morax folded his arms and narrowed his eyes.

“Sure,” Bosacius said quickly. “Of course. Stealth is my middle name. I’m barely noticeable in broad daylight.” 

“Ugh, I HATE being caught in the middle of family scandals!“ Indarias grumbled when they all got out of tent.

“Don’t disrespect our Lord,“ Alatus said with a frown and had to dodge hair ruffling again.

“You’re lucky you’re so adorable, you tiny killjoy.“

“We could’ve maybe got out of it if it wasn’t for the incredible eloquence of  Bosacius. “UM,“ Menogias mimicked mockingly.

“Well I didn’t hear any of your famed eloquence at all.“

“I simply respected your right to speak as our supposed leader.”

“Oh, so you respect my right as a leader when it’s time to argue with Rex Lapis, but won’t stop backtalking for the rest of...“

“Guys, guys, we need to do something,“ Bonanus said, fidgeting with her arms. “We’re going to lose her if we waste any more time.“

“You’re right. Ugh, what to do...“ he turned to the anemo yaksha. “Alatus! You’re going first, because you’re the most... stealthy. We’ll follow closely.”

Smaller yaksha stepped up and nodded solemnly, but Bonanus moved to hug him protectively.

“What? No, we can’t endanger our little brother!“

“No, no, he’s right,“ Indarias said. “Guizhong won’t hurt him, he’s too small and cute!“

“Am not!“

“So this is your genius plan?“ Menogias folded his arms, lip curled sarcastically. “To rely on Alatus’ cuteness?“

“I am stealthy!“

“Well, we need SOME plan. I’d ask you for ideas, but we don’t have time to wait until you design all of us camouflage outfits.“

Girls gasped and looked at the geo yaksha. Menogias snarled and pointed his finger at Bosacius.

“I wouldn’t rely on you wearing shirt ever, you barbaric...“

“Boys!“

..... III .....

It was a beautiful summer day and Morax was sunbathing in his original dragon form. He enjoyed his humanoid shapes just fine, but nothing could beat the sensation of scales of a cold-blooded creature literally absorbing sunlight.

Everything was perfect. The wind was rustling in tall grass and carrying faint smell of glaze lilies, the sky was of that deepest dark blue color that it only gets on July middays with no shred of clouds in sight, birds were chirping, Guizhong was sitting next to him, leaning against his side and fussing with her latest project. She would mutter under her breath things like “soulless music... I’ll show her soulless music...” or “elitist conservative snobs...” or sometimes move his tail to get to one of her wrenches or scrolls, but he was used to this and so it didn’t deter him from slowly dazing off. 

He was almost completely asleep when the loudest most agonizing noise startled him awake. It was the worst sound he’s ever heard in all thousands of years he’s lived, it somehow combined mechanical screeching, excruciating wheeze of nails dragged on glass and also deep low reverberating bong.

He flew up, ready to end the misery of whatever abomination was making this wail, but the horizon was clear. The sound stopped as abruptly as it started.

“It worked!“ Guizhong yelled excitedly from the ground.

“What worked?“

“My bell!“ she presented what indeed looked like a metallic bell, beaming proudly. Morax blinked and carefully landed next to her.

“You mean you made a thing that makes *this sound*... on purpose? Are you inventing torture devices now?“

“No, don’t be silly! It will be an instrument that will be able to compose and perform beautiful music! Eventually. Of course it needs work first, I will be tuning it in, but the important breakthrough is that it can make sounds by itself!“

Morax blinked and shrugged, which in his current form looked like a ripple, started curling back into position he had before he was so rudely woken up, and then froze in the middle of a movement, glancing at Guizhong sharply.

“For how long will it keep making these kinds of noises before it can play beautiful music?“

She opened her mouth, closed it, chewed on her lip with her eyes darting.

“Oh well, you know, it’s hard to say exactly... Oh! Do you maybe want some wine?”

“I will have to ban this, for the safety of the nation. And perhaps, the entirety of  Teyvat.”

“It won’t be *that long*, come on! Do you want snacks with that wine? I’ve got some fancy snacks, not just mora meat!” 

“They locked the knowledge of less torturous weapons in the abyss, Guizhong.“

“Ah, come on, don’t be melodramatic, drink your wine, it will be fiiiiine“

Gloves - Autistic Hunter Week

Day 2: Touch/Sensory

My contribution to Autistic Hunter Week of 2023 is an excerpt from a yet-to-be posted chapter of Shadow's Reach. Hunter recalls his gloveless time in the Human Realm, which reminds him of something he'd nearly forgotten.

I hope you enjoy a little autistic fine-touch indulgence.

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

Hunter had vivid recollections of what it was like to run his bare hand along the wooden handrail going up the basement stairs, the fingertips of his right extending to brush against the support pillars as he ascended the steps. Even sanded wood had texture.

And everyone else just takes it for granted.

The trees outside had left their own unique impressions upon his naked fingertips, as had the damp grass and patches of puffy white clover. So many subtle textures. Something long forgotten in Hunter’s memory had stirred at the touch.

Recollections of dimpled stone bricks cold against the palm of his hand, the textured weave of thick tapestries sliding between his fingers, and the fascinating shifting consistency of a broken necklace chain as he balled it up and slid the tiny metal links back and forth with his thumb. All of that nuanced tactile sensation went away with the gloves.

Commissioning the gloves had been a laborious process. His uncle spent what seemed like hours with Hunter, painstakingly selecting the perfect type and grade of leather. Uncle let him feel every swatch, tolerated the unusual way he’d folded the squares back and forth between his fingers, and silently permitted his childish impulse to rub the thick fabric against his cheeks in a rare display of patience from the Emperor.

And once the leather was selected, Uncle had commissioned three separate tailors to sew multiple styles of gloves, rotating through pairs until Hunter’s little hands were comfortable with the stitching, content to remain enclosed in the supple leather rather than compelled to roam garishly about the castle. Hunter vaguely recalled the Emperor commenting that restless hands ran in the family, to varying degrees, and that the gloves would help Hunter control himself. After all, ‘The Emperor’s nephew must be presentable at all times.’

His uncle’s consideration seemed a great kindness to the little boy Hunter had been. As paradoxical as it was, it seemed a kindness still. The soothing touch of soft leather had provided invaluable comfort when Hunter was obligated to stand at attention for hours, or when he was silently agonizing over his next training match, forbidden to show any fear in his movements. Sometimes the gloves and the subtle motions of his fingers against the fabric were the only thing stopping him from breaking down into tears at the sight and smell of his own blood. Hunter knew the consequences of ‘unbecoming’ behavior, and the gloves served as a tool to avoid it.

Though Hunter could never hate the gloves, he understood that the exactingly tailored comfort had denied him so much in connecting with the world around him. Including experiencing the most basic interactions of friendship, unobstructed. Hunter had chosen to free himself of that restriction, setting out to discover his own place in the world amongst his community of friends.

And what a discovery it was…

He’d felt the firm grip of Willow’s lightly calloused hand as she’d pulled Hunter along to see an ‘amazing!’ snapping plant she’d found in the woods. As if anything could be more amazing than her hand in mine. He’d never forget the enthusiastic high-five from Gus, and how different the slap had sounded without his glove muffling the noise. What a strange pleasure it had been to touch his friends’ hands after years of internalized self-denial.

Tsubasa Chronicle Month 2023

- Day 14: Meeting Your Other Self

~

“Oh, yeah, no, this is definitely weird.”

“You’re tellin’ me. I’m startin’ to think I might be going a bit insane here.”

Kurogane blinks, and yes, there’s that headache that was threatening to make his day worse.  

And okay, so maybe he’s being a little bit hypocritical, being so damn startled to see his own face in this new world they’ve landed on, especially since his entire current family has at least one double each that he’s either met or heard about (or started the journey with and lost along the way, but it still hurts to think about, even now). He knows it was bound to happen at some point. It’s just. Yeah, it’s weird.

“Who’s the blond?” the other Kurogane asks, raising a pointed eyebrow in Fai’s direction, eyes sparkling with interest in a way Kurogane hates to think his own have ever done. 

Fai chooses that moment to raise his gaze from where he’s been looking through a collection of crystals (“They’re perfect for casting spells, Kuro-pon, and as protection charms.”) a street vendor’s selling. His eyes widen when he sees Kurogane’s companion. (Fuck. Hell no.) “My husband,” he tells his other self, as pointedly as he can, turning away from Fai to look at the man straight on. “And I ain’t sharing, before you get any ideas.”

Sudden laughter from right next to him startles him. “Oh, that’s good to know,” Fai says (and just when the hell did he get here so fast?), leaning on Kurogane’s good shoulder, amusement clear on his face. “Though I’ll admit it would be interesting.”

“No.”

The other Kurogane laughs, hard. “Don’t worry, don’t worry. Stop looking like you’re gonna murder me. I have no interest in married men. As pretty as they might be.” 

“Aw,” Fai coos, and Kurogane’s forgotten how condescending he could sound when he wanted to. “Kuro-sama thinks I’m pretty.”

Kurogane rolls his eyes. “Shut the hell up. Did you finish looking at your sparkly rocks?”

Fai nods, and turns his most blinding smile at this world’s Kurogane. “Please excuse my husband, he’s a bit brutish when he feels threatened. (“The hell I am!”) I’m Fai.” He stretches out his hand in a polite introduction.

The other Kurogane raises his eyebrow again, before nodding and shaking Fai’s hand firmly. “Youou.” And ah, doesn’t that feel like a gut punch, hearing his own name so easily spoken out loud. “I’m guessing you guys aren’t from around here.”

Fai sways from side to side, hands clasped behind his back, lashes fluttering just so. The picture of innocence. Kurogane snorts just at the image. “You’re right, we’re not. Would You-chan (“You-chan?? What the fu-”) mind showing us around?”

So yeah, Kurogane’s headache is not going away anytime soon. 

~

(“Honestly, Kuro-sama, being jealous of your own self, how unbecoming.”

“Shut the hell up. Who’s jealous?”)

[thefatdood]

Donald Trump is doubling down on his promise to carry out large-scale deportations of migrants if he retakes the White House, and a 2023 social media post from Stephen Miller says to expect a 'turbocharged' denaturalization project if Trump wins in 2025. Former Amb. Susan Rice joins Morning Joe to discuss.

The trump administration came in and setup this office of denaturalization, and now what they're saying is they are going to turbocharge that. They are going to take that as far as they possibly can, and with the supreme court that a president has literally no constraints on what he does in that office, then there is nothing preventing the federal government literally without due process walking into peoples homes and separating families if they don't like the color of your skin or the country of origin or the religion of whoever it is that is here in this country legally as an american citizen!

Immigrants should heed this and get off the Trump bandwagon. They would be voting for their own deportation, citizen or not.

Stephen Miller is just another monster in our lives

Susan Rice should write an Op-Ed explaining IN DETAIL what she just said on air!!!!!! And she should DO IT TODAY!!!

He can start with Melania, Ted Cruz and Elon Musk

People don’t understand that the courts won’t stop the damage he will do because the court system takes time and the damage will be done immediately before the courts can stop it. The chaos and the cruelty is the point.

The conduct of Donald Trump while serving as a businessman in New York and as President of the United States has been unbecoming and disrespectful towards the law and regulations. His behavior does not warrant his re-election and does not set a good example for the current and future generations. JD Vance has not contributed positively to the situation, and he is not suitable to hold the office of a senator. America deserves better leadership.
