#was originally gonna do this in gray scale

[raven-cl]

Quick little Billy I did while I'm finishing up other stuff 🤧

[cloverofhope]

I’m asking, tell us abt ur au pls

Ohohohoh gladly

putting a keep reading thing here bc this is gonna be a longish post lol

Quick backstory

Okay, so a little backstory of the au itself. It was originally a roleplay plot that I made to cheer a friend up bc he was upset about something in another roleplay chat, but the plot then was very different to what it is now. Haive didn't exist at the time, nor did most of the characters that are going to be from Haive (aka Berks equivalent.) It was originally called "The Flipped Universe" or at least that was the second version of the plot was. I genuinely cannot remember what the original version was called anymore.

An argument happend and the second version was effectively dropped before we went onto the third version which was effectively the same plot except we switched who played hiccup and boy oh boy are they a good runaway!hiccup player. Most of the times we started the roleplay it, it took place after httyd2 so I'm writing what would've happened from httyd on.

Characters that are important right noW

Clover- she's the main character in this story. She's effectively the Hiccup of Haive. She's a little bit shorter than Hiccup and doesn't grow much past her height in this part of the story. Clover has red hair that goes to about her upper back when she lets it down, and emerald green eyes that could pierce into your soul if she's pissed off. She's pretty artistic, spending any free time she can find drawing something if she's not already focused on something else. She's got a heart of gold and stubbornness to go with it. She's fairly inventive, and she has a lot of spontaneous ideas that do work a fair amount of time

Iris- She's the light fury in the cove. She lost her right tailfin. She's mostly white with spots along her back and head that are grayish purple, but they look more gray than purple. Her ears have pastel blue spots along the top. She doesn't trust easily but once you've earned her trust, there's almost nothing she won't do. She's not the most playful or chatty at first but after she meets Clover and some of the other dragons she really opens up her shell

Rollo- She's the dragon rider that Clover convinced to help. After being raised by dragons, she DOES understand Dragonese and will eventually teach most of the others in the group, one of them being too stubborn to learn. She's the most ruthless of the group in this and sometimes has to be physically held back so she doesn't hurt someone who doesn't need to be hurt. Rollo doesn't understand some traditions at first, and Clover isn't the best at explaining why things are done the way that they are. She's got black hair that's been dyed with flowers that primarily grow on Haive and on islands near it, especially at the nest Rollo grew up on. She's a little bit taller than Clover

Rou- He's the most playful and silly woolly howl anyone could meet. He loves to sing songs for those he loves and is fiercely protective of his family. He's got blue scales and his 'fluff' is a milk chocolately brown. (I'm pretty sure- Its been so long since I've seen his ref sheet lol). Him and Rollo are effectively siblings after being raised together.

Wilder- Clover's younger brother. He's about five years younger. He's a clever little guy who wants to be just like his sister when he grows up. (Or at least he will eventually lol). He's got red hair and freckles galore. He cares a lot, sometimes too much.

mm i think thats all the characters imma do for now- at least in this post- I don't need it being 5000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 characters long lol

The 'What Ifs' that this AU is based off of that don't really spoil anything

What if Toothless was a light fury instead?

What if Dragonese existed in the movie universe?

What if Hiccup and Toothless ran away before Astrid ever found out?

What if httyd was more gay?

What if hiccup had help while training toothless?

As I'm thinking- I'm realizing that most of the other 'what ifs' spoil a lot- so that's all ya get for now

Headcanons! These won't spoil much- right?

Furies bond with other species by mimicking behaviors

Light furies are great swimmers

Dragons have a whole ass culture, some things can vary from nest to nest, but most things are pretty similar

not exactly sure how to explain this one, but an alpha's command isn't like spoken words- its more a sense only a dragon can feel, and isn't something humans can possibly learn

fury eggs don't explode- nor do woolly howl eggs-

hmmm not sure what else i can add that doesn't spoil a whole lot- so enjoy this!

Can we talk about Catwoman, Bruce Wayne and maybe a little about the concept of crime?

Just gonna get it out of the way: Yes Gotham war is bad for many clear, obvious reasons. It reads like like crack fic, though I personally believe that's more on editorial than Zdarsky, as this is perhaps one of the most clearly top-down, artificial, corporate plots since Civil War II.

But I'm not going to focus on the genuinely hilarious ideas here, and instead talk about the original sin: Selina's big idea.

It immediately falls apart under any basic scrutiny: How is she convincing all of these wildly different people to become cat burglars? That's not an easy skill set to teach, especially at this scale. If the whole issue is as simple as a lack of work skills, why didn't she teach them anything else? Literally anything? If she has this level of reach and status to be able to convince 75%(!!!) of the underworld to throw in with her why would she use it this way?

On a level Catwoman has always had her nose closer to the ground that Batman could ever. She lives in the gray areas of Gotham. She gets, on a personal level, the ways that society fails the little people and she's been pretty consistent about going to the paint to help people in bad situations. So her wanting to really support people and get them a better shake is very in line with her character.

But she's never been dumb or blindly idealistic and certainly not naive. In fact if anyone should be able instantly suss out the logical problems with this concept, it would be the woman who probably understands Gotham's underbelly better than anyone else. She understands how the business works and would know that you can't support an entire criminal economy on stealing from the homes of the wealthy. Selina has been so successful because she's the BEST at what she does, and because her style is uncommon enough that most people aren't expecting to get hit by her. Suddenly there are what, thousands of cat burglars just running around every night? Then the rich just increase their security, and then what? The idea that it worked at all is such an assault on the suspension of disbelief. And it implies a fundamental misunderstanding of crime and what Bruce/Batman is even trying to do.

See there's an implicit suggestion here that Selina is trying to take care of people while Bruce only cares about penalizing offenders, and that's just...a really bad fanon take honestly. It stems partially from the problem of using "criminal" to describe a class of people. The idea that some people are just criminals to be stopped because all they can understand is crime. That's not a helpful or realistic way to look at crime. I think we understand that people turn to crime for many diverse reasons. We flatten their narratives because there's no time to go into the complex motivations of each Two-Face grunt, but in better written works it's implied to be there regardless.

On numerous occasions, it has been made very clear that Bruceman understands this. How could he not? He's one of the most intelligent creatures on the planet, and his autistic special interest is criminology. Like, he knows, he obviously knows, especially at this point in his career. A lot of damage has been done by the idea that Bruce Wayne and Batman are fundamentally separate people. there's plenty of drama in the discussion of being torn between a normal life and the obsession, but the obsession is always there, mask or not. Batman isn't supposed to be some bizarre divergent personality, and no I am not going to talk about Zur and you can't make me! He has historically used his money and influence to support less fortunate Gothamites since always. He's not some out of touch uber-wealthy person who thinks that beating poor people is the only answer. He's been written like that before by people who wish he was Rorschach instead, but that is not the overarching norm of his character. It's a sin comparable with forgetting that Clark Kent is an actual investigative reporter. Bruce Wayne works to counter the structural inequality that leads to common crime, and Batman steps in to protect people from violence, and uncommon, existentially different criminals. Penguin, Black Mask, Falcone--sure Batman will stop a mugging, but he really exists to punish the people who are benefiting off of the suffering of others. Even then, he'd still prefer if they redeemed themselves and moved on.

This is from the 2004 The Batman cartoon tie-in, but I think it illustrates the point really well.

Like I've said before in other posts, violence is a tool in his belt, but he knows it's not the solution. Batman dissuades, Bruce Wayne offers support and options. Unfortunately, popular discussion on Bruceman has lost a lot of this plot, and focuses on the eye catching brutality that the movies and popular dark adaptations have championed. So what we get is this weird meta commentary that is supposed to make Batman look like a violent totalitarian punching down on people and missing the point when in reality, he gets the point! He super gets the point! The reason he doesn't kill is that he believes everyone deserves to try to be better, that concept makes no sense with a Batman who doesn't see criminals as people! Selina doesn't even have a point! She's supposed to represent a more socially conscious, compassionate, realistic perspective, but she's just not correct! It's an insane nothing-burger even before he completely loses his mind because of the plot. There are legitimate ideological issues to be pulled out between he and Selina. If she had become a crime boss like Jason tried to (and once did herself if I remember correctly) and used that to suppress the worse actors in a way he couldn't, you could really have them reckon with what they're willing to do to keep people safe and where the line actually is. Because they're all criminals in the end, what matters is where they draw the line. Batman works with plenty of dangerous and formally dangerous criminals actually, Harley and Ghost-Maker and Jason and Damian and--he's not some stupid inflexible hardliner cop. Stories where Batman is zealous about crime as like an amorphous concept are insane because they suggest that he doesn't recognize that his extrajudicial nature already complicates matters. That's another reason he doesn't kill by the way! He doesn't think he's the law! He's just a guy! Why should he get to decide the value of someone's life? But even then, the idea that the whole family would fall into civil war over Bruce and Selina having an ideological tiff is such an affront to all of them as individual characters. None of them are stupid enough to deal with things this way. It's not an exploration of character flaws if you're just making them stupid.

There's a problem about writers coming onto Batbooks and revealing that they have done no research into why people commit crimes and it creates narratives where Batman also doesn't understand the point, when he has and should!

Tldr,

Writers, stop pretending that Batman doesn't understand the social/systemic aspect of crime, and also maybe look into how it actually works yeah?

Mictlanmas: The War to save Christmas!

Nexo stood before the group, in what looked to be her own Santa outfit. It was dark blue in color, with a gray trim, and black highlights. The outfit generally looked tattered and damaged but still mostly put together.

“I really should've known you were the real mastermind.” Mari said to Nexo.

“Honestly, it's funny that you didn't from the start. But yes! I was the one behind everything! I'm the one who manipulated everyone into coming against you!” Nexo elaborated.

“Why?! What's your goal here?” Kuku questioned.

“...Honestly, mostly out of spite.” Nexo said.

“Que?!” Ququ asked.

“When I found out Mari was gonna be Santa, I wanted to ruin everything and take it myself!” Nexo explained. “It's so much fun too, Honestly! Now I'm ready to finish this!”

Nexo raises the grail into the air and suddenly a whirlwind of snow envelops the area, and everyone is suddenly transported to an icy cavern.

As the group looked around, they finally found everyone who's been teleported away.

“There they are!” Xolotl called out.

Everyone was now encased in ice, not only every enemy but also Quetzalcoatl and Rex too.

“Yes, I thought it was finally time to take full control. Manipulation was one thing, but things work better with absolute control. Unfortunately your father and Quetzal have proven resilient, but the rest should do!” Nexo told the group.

As that happened, everyone except Rex and Quetz broke out of the ice and were facing the group to fight.

Mari fought against Camazotz, Xolotl fought Molay and her reformed beast, Ququ and Kuku took on the twins. Eli didn't last, since her singing hurt Zotz too much, and he took her out himself.

“Ah hell, wasn't expecting infighting.” Nexo commented towards Zotz knocking Eli out.

Eventually the heroes picked off their enemies one by one, until none were left but the mastermind herself.

“So, four against one, eh?” Nexo commented. “But, let's not!” She said as she raised her grail and another snowy whirlwind overtook her and Mari. Now it was just them, in snow covered ruins of pyramids.

“Gotta say, spite is both a really annoying motivation to go against me, but also somewhat fresh generally.” Mari said to Nexo.

“Thanks, but let's finish this shall we?” Nexo said.

Then the two both transformed into their true divine forms. Giant monsters with gnashing teeth, a multitude of tendrils, all while wielding deadly weapons.

First Nexo swung her blade, then Mari blocked and responded with her hammer. As the battle raged on, the very earth shook and the skies raged. Both goddesses summoned spectral familiars of their preferred avian, Mari with crows and Nexo with owls. This continued on with spectral soldiers, monsters and so on.

The result was a full scale war on the winter wasteland that they all found themselves at.

Eventually, Mari knocked Nexo's blade out of her hands, then took her down with a blow to the head.

“That's enough trying to take Christmas for yourself, Nexo.” Mari said as she stood over her enemy. “I'll be taking that grail now.” Before one final blow, and Nexo started to fade away.

“One fucking day, I'll get the better of you.” Nexo said, right as she was gone.

“Not today, tho.” Mari said.

Maria turned back to normal, and took the grail.

As she took it, light enveloped everything. Suddenly the singularity was gone, and everyone was back home.

“Woo! I solved a Christmas singularity!” Mari cheered.

Then suddenly she was tackle-hugged by Quetzalcoatl.

“You did it Mija! I'm so proud of you!” Quetz said.

“Congratulations! You did amazing!” Rex told her.

Now that the catastrophe was avoided, it was time for Mari to fulfill her Christmas duties and deliver presents to all the good servants and staff of Chaldea! Everyone found such great joy this Christmas season, even those who didn't originally enjoy it got a nice smile out of it on this day.

Even the villain herself, Nexo, got something nice.

Not only a new scarf for the cold, but a kiss under the mistletoe from the Santa herself.

Twas one of the best Christmases Chaldea knew that night. And Maria herself was satisfied that she could follow in her mother's footsteps and be a good santa for everyone.

And as she finished her flight, she let out one last cheer "Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night!"

And that's the finale! Hope you guys liked it! Sorry it took so damn long to get it out. But hopefully now that it is, you will all have enjoyed it. I know I enjoyed writing it. Hope you all had a good holiday season.

What phone cases do they have? Backgrounds? Fancy widgets/little digital pets on the black bar at the top of apple phones?

was gonna draw these but i don't have the patience nor time lol

And I dunno nothing bout no widgets or digital pets, but everyone's got a Borg phone, and if anyone had anything wacky it would be Miranda (and her digital pet would be a dog) or Olivia (with a shark)

Kai: His phone case is a super-cheap plastic one that's just solid red, but he decorates it with fire stickers to "spice it up". Never drops his phone cuz he's always paranoid vigilant about where it is. Home screen is a pic of himself; lock screen is a photo of the main gang just hanging out <3

Jay: Black heavy-duty case with glow-in-the-dark blue lightning bolts, custom made. Very often drops his phone—or it gets knocked off of him—hence the extra padding. Has only broken his screen once. Home screen is a pic of Nya; lock screen...is also Nya.

Cole: Fancy black heavy-duty case, with the rubber on the corners for extra cushion. Swaps between the rainbow-rimmed one he originally had and a glow-in-the-dark lava one Jay made for him, depending on their current endeavors. Lock screen is a pic of his mom; home screen is his current crush.

Zane: Plain white case with a single black bird (falcon) design. Has ironically dropped his phone more than anyone else; only cracked the screen twice (in which Pixal was quick to fix it). Doesn't like photos as a background, as he finds them too distracting, but does eventually change the home screen to a solid icy blue and the lock screen to purple.

Nya: Has one of those cases filled with liquid and glitter that swooshes around when you tilt it. The phone itself is gray, the case itself is clear, but the liquid + decorations are various shades of blue. Has a bad habit of throwing her phone when upset (but eventually has Lloyd to fix it). Lock screen is a scenic beach photo with a dolphin; home screen is a silly photo of Jay.

Lloyd: Doesn't want to bother with a case, since he could just fix any dings on the spot, but eventually gets a cheap one like Kai. Has two: one solid green + trimmed in gold, one black and covered in Starfarer stickers. Swaps them out as needed like Cole. Puts some of those phone charms on the Starfarer case. Both screen backgrounds are photos of the main gang—lock screen is casual wear, home screen is ninja wear (with masks on, of course).

Jesse: Very heavy-duty light pink case with extra padding, due to how accident-prone he is, and covered in dense silver glitter. Doesn't even have to drop his phone to wind up with a cracked screen somehow—but they're usually fixed by Jay or Lloyd. Lock screen is of him and Miranda performing; home screen is a marigold flower.

Antonia: Plain orange case with phone charms of various things that seem to change by the day. Her phone has a strange habit of only breaking during a crisis. Lock screen is of all the student council members; home screen is of her, Jesse, and Harumi (until it is replaced to be her, Jesse, Mira, and Nelson).

Harumi: When she does eventually get a phone, her case varies by whichever "phase" she's in—first one is green and white with spider lilies, second one is black and navy trimmed in silver, third one is pink and purple marble. Her backgrounds are the Shark Army symbol and/or Garmadon's symbol off and on; when they're neither, the backgrounds are just pure black. Maybe a pattern if she's feeling daring.

Olivia: Cheap case, deep blue with a mermaid scale design. Waterproof. Screen is cracked to high heaven but somehow still works; too lazy to fix it. Lock screen is a majestic shark; home screen is her and Nya back when they first met (until it isn't). Lock screen may also sometimes be of any individual she's currently got her eye on, however.

Miranda: Her phone case has one of those "Game Boy" designs in bright blue (that you can play games on); her tablet case is black with neon stripes that change color (which she programmed to stay pink and blue). Drops things often, especially when one-handed, but her stuff is so sturdy that you'd never know. For both items, home screen is a wallpaper of the Borg Tech logo; lock screen is the same picture as Jesse's.

Pixal: Doesn't even need a phone, as all her communication is near-exclusively through the communicators, but is given one due to her father's insistance. The case starts just solid purple, but she feels a little plain with it and winds up bedazzling it. Home screen is a huge group pic; lock screen is of her and Zane.

Skylor: Has one of those cases that changes color with heat, and also works like a mood ring. Is not actually all that phone savvy; has to work up to it. Lock screen is a pic from a girls' night out; home screen is a candid of a very flustered and blushing Kai.

Characters grappling with nuance / unconditional love on this blog

Sora gaining a more nuanced understanding of morality the older he gets -- work in progress.

Noctis wrapping his head around all the sacrifices, mistakes, missteps that Regis made when he was trying to balance being a good king and a good father. Bearing the hurt from those decisions and loving his father anyway.

Prompto putting on a cheery face because of fear that his flaws / baggage / origins would make him unlovable.

Pit's need to help anyone and everyone when realistically, on a divine scale, he just can't. Learning to live with that. Loving and believing in Palutena even though he knows deep down that the gods are far from perfect.

The mere existence of Dark Pit, an embodiment of gray morality.

Lucas trying to reconcile the idealized image of his father with the deeply flawed man that he actually is.

Shinji failing to recognize when people do extend love to him. Shinji failing to accept love from others. Shinji hating his own flaws, letting them consume him, believing they render him irredeemable and unworthy of love. Shinji needing multiple dang timelines to really figure this out.

Madoka is probably gonna need an exercise in this when she remembers what Homura did in Rebellion.

[danigrayextendeduniverse]

This blog is a work in progress!

Hello! My name is Dani Gray, and welcome to the Dani Gray Extended Universe! What's the Dani Gray Extended Universe, or the DGEU? Well, it's basically where I put all my OCs and AUs for those OCs—I'm a writer with a lot of ideas, a lot of creativity, but I also like reusing OCs rather than making new ones (I make new OCs as well but I have a select few who are near and dear to my heart).

As this blog is fairly new, I'm still working on setting it up and introducing my characters (and also my main universe). I will be adding a list of some of my primary/most recurring characters underneath the read more below, but it'll be fairly underdeveloped. In the meantime, here's a few facts about me and a brief DNI:

Name: Dani Gray

Pronouns: Any neopronouns

DNI: racists, queerphobes, MAPs/pedophiles, roleplay blogs (asking a question is fine, but I don't use this blog to roleplay)

I reserve the right to block anyone and to ignore asks that I find inappropriate or that I don’t want to answer.

I'm a Tumblr veteran (been here for... a while) but I still struggle with what tags I should use when it comes to original content, so if you have any tips please let me know!

Recurring characters in the DGEU

Daniel Nation: Probably my first official OC who wasn't created for a fandom. The main character in my original story, he's got a lot of development and has been through so many changes. I'm absolutely enamored by him, he's my bestest boy.

Diana Bullock: Daniel's best friend and a general manic pixie dream girl (though that's not the role she plays). Was created around the same time as Daniel, they should not be separated by any means.

Cameron Scale: Daniel's partner! This character has definitely gone through a lot of changes, but the basic rundown for them is that they're a deaf activist.

Amanda Skies: Diana's girlfriend. Still being developed, she was originally supposed to be a mean girl and an antagonist. Not sure when her story changed, but very Amity Blight from The Owl House coded (though she was created way before The Owl House was even a show).

Adam Nation: Daniel's biological father who was originally supposed to die when Daniel was very young. Not sure when or why he came back to life, but his presence as a character definitely changed the direction of Daniel's story. A good father in every aspect, he's a school counselor.

Vincent Strange: Daniel's father and Adam's longest romantic partner. Not gonna lie, a lot of his inspiration came from Doctor Strange (hence the name and also a lot of his backstory). He's a surgeon, debating if I want to put him through an accident like in the Doctor Strange canon. In some universes he does have an accident, but in the main story he doesn't.

Indrid Cold: Surprisingly not the Mothman nor inspired by the character from TAZ: Ammesty (though I do love that podcast). Daniel's father and a late addition to Adam and Vincent's relationship, though the three of them have been friends for a long time. Indrid works as a museum tour guide and is very autistic about it. He's a silly, goofy daddy who loves Daniel to smithereens and cried on Daniel's first day of school.

Evelyn Kamiyama: Wasn't originally going to add her because she's not that recurring, but I love her too much to leave her out. Plus, she was very involved in Daniel's upbringing. Daniel's surrogate mother and the owner of a sushi restaurant. Absolute badass of a woman who takes no shit. Has a complicated relationship with her family but doesn't let that get in the way of how she treats Daniel. Also she and Adam are fuck buddies.

Rating More AEG Redesigns

Did one last year, might as well do another this year.

Initially, I wasn’t into how big they were compared to Thomas, but it’s kinda grown on me. It reminds me of how the narrow gauge coaches were taller than the engines. And I like how they both have slightly different face designs. Don’t know if you can see it too well, but Annie has brown eyes, while Clarabel has gray eyes and freckles. Solid 8/10.

That sure is a grandpa right there, I’ll tell you what. I I feel like whenever Hiro visits the island, all of the little engines gather around to hear his stories. I would too, ngl. I feel like if the engines could eat, Hiro would totally slip them some extra candy when no one is looking. 10/10

Edward, honey, what happened to you? Why is he so big? Why does he have extra wheels? Edward’s wheel config was my favorite part of his design, why change it?

All that aside, he exudes just as much grandad enerdy as Hiro. He looks like the kind of grandpa who’ll listen to whatever his grandkids have to say, even if it’s something silly like a cool rock Kana found. 5/10.

Ashima was a bit of a surprise. I figured she would be another kid if she was introduced, but no? She’s apparently a teenager? That’s what I heard on Twitter at least. Maybe a young adult? Either way, I get why she isn’t a kid. Trying to squeeze all those colors on an engine Thomas’ size sounds like a nightmare.

If Hiro and Edward are the grandpas, Ashima is the cool older sister. The kids probably look up to her and have probably tried to act older around her at least once, but she 100% joins in on their little games and shows them the silly things she did when she was their age. 9/10

She’s so big. Why? Like, imagine if you had a model train layout and you asked your friend if they wanted to put their engines on it. But instead of bringing an HO/OO engine like you expected, they bring a massive G scale Stirling Single. That’s Emily. And that coach of hers is even bigger.

Emily doesn’t speak much in AEG (Like, I’m pretty sure the end of the second movie is the most she’s spoken throughout the series so far) and I’m gonna pretend that it’s because she keeps to herself a lot. She can talk to the kids or hold a conversation just fine, but she isn’t usually the one to initiate it. 7/10

Ooh, this one feels weird. Okay, so Henry’s character model is clearly just Gordon’s with a little tweaking, but I don’t hate it? He’s like if Henry wasn’t completely rebuilt into a black five. And the brass dome is kind of a look? It kind of reminds me of the copper chimney cap he had in Tank Engine Thomas Again. 5/10

That is not a character who should be smiling /hj. I guess since the show already had Cranky, they couldn’t have another grumpy character? I don’t know. I feel like this Bulstrode hasn’t gone through whatever made the original one the bad tempered barge we all know and love. This guy is just out there enjoying his days out at sea. 8/10

A Dragon Lives Forever

WinterIron, E, ficlet - PWP, dragon!bucky, Curse You, Bucky! ‘Verse

And I just have to say one more time, a huge huge thank you to everyone who donated and shared the original post around! This fandom is amazing and my heart is so full and I’m gonna just post the goods now before I get REAL emotional haha

-

"Go go go," Tony repeats mindlessly, shoving Bucky through the compound and into their room before anyone can see them.

So much for a 'quick easy mission.’ Tony is never ever going to think those words again.

It doesn't help that Bucky seems more concerned with laughing than with hurrying, leaning his weight back into Tony's shoving and shooting him constant, knowing looks. He doesn't even seem to care that he's naked after his clothes got shredded in this latest transformation.

By the time the door to their room is safely closed behind them Tony's face is on fire and he can't believe this is happening again. He also can't believe his pants are already uncomfortably tight, that an eager heat has been churning through his veins since Bucky lost his pants and Tony got a look and oh god he's so predictable.

It's hard to say if the flush on his face is from arousal or embarrassment, but Bucky's smirk as his gaze drags down Tony's chest is pushing him towards the second option and Tony quickly drops his own gaze to the floor. Which doesn't actually help because his eyes land on Bucky's feet, which are currently large and reptilian, clawed and tinged a dark gray color that fades up Bucky's legs, and all that does is remind Tony of the rest of his transformation. The horns and fangs, the fact that he's so all around bigger that not a scrap of clothing survived and oh right, Tony's pretty sure he glimpsed ridges on Bucky's cock.

Tony has barely been able to think about anything else, hasn't even dared to look again and still every two seconds he's wondering how exactly it's changed, what it would feel like inside him. He'd spent the entire flight home with his eyes fixed on the empty sky in front of the quinjet, squirming in his seat while Bucky just smirked.

And the asshole is still smirking, chuckling softly to himself even as he says, "Hate to break it to you sugar, but if you're hoping to avoid the team finding out what a freak you are for monsters, pretty sure they figured it out a while ago. Probably around the time with the tentacles."

"Please stop talking," Tony says and try as he might he can’t stop his eyes from dragging up Bucky's legs, thick muscle and sprinklings of what looks like scales in the places his skin has gone a dark gray. And then his gaze reaches Bucky's cock, just as thick and ridged and textured as Tony had thought from his all-too-brief glance. He tries to bite it down, but Tony can’t completely muffle the hungry, desperate noise that rises in his chest.

Bucky laughs again but he finally reaches out to reel Tony in, and Tony has to crane his head back, back to continue meeting his gaze. “You want somethin’ doll?” Bucky asks smugly, stepping closer. Tony can feel the thick line of his cock, quickly swelling against him, and he has to swallow down another weak noise as he can’t help dropping his chin to look again.

“If you don’t actually do something with that thing,” Tony starts and he’s trying to sound threatening, but the tremble in his voice probably ruins it, “then I will… go find a knight. To come slay you.”

Bucky shakes with laughter again but before Tony can insist that he will Bucky is grabbing him by the hips and spinning him around, walking him forward until Tony’s chest meets the wall. Then Bucky hikes him up the wall, until his toes barely touch the ground and Bucky can press in close, his cock nudging up against the swell of Tony’s ass.

"You're so easy," Bucky says with a low, fond laugh, and rocks his hips against Tony, "easy to read, easy to work up, easy for me.”

“Are you complaining?” Tony demands, voice shaking as his fingers scramble at the wall.

“Never,” Bucky breathes out and the reverence in his tone steals what little breath Tony has left.

When Bucky begins pointedly tugging at his pants with clawed fingers Tony helps shove them down around his thighs before Bucky can get impatient and just start tearing at them. Bucky’s cock presses thick and hot between his cheeks, knocking a moan out of him and Tony arches back into it.

"You still nice and loose for me baby?” Bucky asks, his breath washing hot over the back of Tony’s neck, “Think you can take it?"

Tony whines and nods, because if there’s one upside to being called out on their day off, it’s that they had just finished having sex and he is so ready to go again. “I can,” he promises, “I can, I'm ready- fuck I want to feel it."

"Then show me."

The deep growl sends a shudder down Tony’s spine and his hands shake as he fumbles for the lube they keep in the table by the door, because of course this is far from the first time they've had sex barely inside their suite. He slicks up his fingers and wastes no time quickly working himself open with three of them while Bucky breathes hot against the curve of his shoulder and drags his huge hands along Tony's sides, over his thighs.

“Now now now,” Tony demands as he pulls his fingers free and then gasps when Bucky’s wide palm settles over half of his ass, holding him open. The thick head of Bucky’s cock presses against his hole and his other hand settles on Tony's waist, hitching him up a little higher before pressing in, slow and thick and inescapable.

Tony can feel every inch that sinks into him, the ridges along the stop spreading his rim just a little wider before sinking in, the texture along the underside dragging over his prostate as Bucky presses deeper, deeper. It forces all the air out of Tony's lungs, like he can't even breathe around the thick weight of Bucky's cock splitting him open, hollowing him out, and when Bucky's hips finally press firm against his ass all Tony can manage is a hiccuping moan.

“’S that what you wanted, doll?” Bucky asks, close enough that his sharp teeth barely catch on the shell of Tony’s ear, “can you feel it now?”

“Oh- fuck,” Tony groans breathlessly, his feet slipping against the floor and his hands scrabbling at the wall again as he tries to get any leverage, tries to rock himself in place, tries to get more. Bucky has him thoroughly pinned in place though, and after a frustrated whine Tony gives up and pleads, “god- move.”

Bucky chuckles again, low and rough, but before Tony can let out another demanding whine Bucky withdraws and fucks into him hard, knocking all the air out of Tony’s lungs and lighting him up.

Monday Update.

Some WIP study sketches.

[freakcliff]

okay I'm gonna tag my friend @argentsunshine because he sort of started this so I need to drag him in here

but. I agree with a lot of these although I have different picks for what the varying theives would be avatars of because I think, while the whole monster/avatar/victim of a fear is a big three point scale with a lotta gray areas, a lotta time what someone is the avatar of in my head is in opposition to the fears that Haunt them. tbf also my personal character interpretation

and a cut so it doesn't get too long

so first point here is that I cannot assign characters fears without semi constructing an elaborate au in my head so it's never as simple as this character would be an avatar of this fear and maybe a victim of that one cos this is all. fear soup. also some of these assignments are 'for the plot'

Akira- I agree on stranger, that guy is strangercore, but for the Plot Akira is hunt. I honestly hadn't thought of it harder than wow I love joker and I love when characters have claws and sharp teeth that's so fun but you're very right on all the other points

Ryuji- I'm also going with hunt for him. I think yeah a lot of his Issues are based around people perceiving him as violent and violence done to him, but I don't think it necessarily translates to avatarhood of the slaughter? I think he'd likely turn to hunt as a like, way to feel like he can Do something about all the Shitty Adults around him. I think the hunt can really prey on people's senses of justice like that, you get a lot of people who think they're doing Good by killing Monsters and Bad Guys and then end up falling into the trap of the power it gives them. I think uh, tho, Akira is more susceptible to the Thrill of the Chase thing with the hunt whereas ryuji would fall more into the power it gives him as someone who feels pretty powerless to stop the bad things that happen to him.

Ann- I'm with you on the flesh and Ann, tho I kind of see it in a different way where specifically in my friend Remy argentsunshine's au so far Kamoshida is a flesh avatar & so you have that aspect of Ann being victimized by the flesh. Uh but as for what fear she'd end up being an avatar of I think she'd go slaughter. This is , honestly just vibes to me, but I feel like while all the original shujin trio have similar things that pull them into the fears, ann's feelings of anger feel like they translate much more into the specific violence of the slaughter over the specific sorta Chase of the hunt. it's that sort of fuck you fuck all of you vibe

yusuke- I agree on yusuke vast. I don't have any thoughts on this because the vast is sadly like, my least favorite fear so I leave vast thoughts to those who can have them properly

makoto- I agree on eye, though for me it was more her specific like need to figure things out vibe. I also think she could have a tiny bit of hunt in her based off of the way she deals with akechi in the casino arc. I think it illustrates how makoto kind of likes the whole song and dance of chasing after an opponent more than simply wanting to catch them out of a sense of justice

futaba- eye. her palace is very buried on many levels, both physical and the general idea of wanting to stay in a very small and confined space in order to avoid the Horrors outside, but her whole persona awakening is centered around wanting to find the Truth and she has so much of that surveillance & obsessively finding information in her whole hacking thing that it's very eye. also . green :)

haru- lonely for all the same reasons you said

akechi- yeah I already said web and yeah everything you said about that is right. web boy. uh in this story we're imagining like, the holy Grail is literally the god of control, so that right there, and then shido is like the web's Jonah Magnus . and akechi is a person who has spent a lot of time thinking he's some master manipulator playing everyone when in the end shido only ever sees him as a puppet? and his powers were given to him as part of some god's game? the web loves this guy. uh I think akechi is a guy whos like marked by four fears has another three fears on his back who would love to get their hands on him if the web didn't already have him. the hunt, the stranger, the slaughter, the desolation the lonely the end etc etc. after akechi dies in this tma au the web lets go of him and the slaughter picks him up. this is because a) the slaughter is my favorite and b) I think of all the fears that akechi has more avatar traits in common with the slaughter is the one he'd Choose. that guy likes violence and chaos for violence and chaos's sake

saw a post that was like goro akechi is an avatar of the desolation and its not a wrong post its very right but you must understand he's also an avatar of the hunt. and the slaughter. a little bit the stranger. bit corruption or maybe lonely i haven't decided but i feel like you can only have one or the other he's also big time web coded but in the opposite of an avatar way. thanks for coming to my ted talk

[partly-cloudyskies]

So around late summer I decided that I Need A Hobby and like don't get me wrong I do enjoy writing I'mma keep doing it but aside from that and video games I don't have a lot going on and what I do have going on involves staring at a screen for bad amounts of time.

So I thought what if I do something that is expensive.

This is around the time I got back into Star Trek after ST Enterprise broke my interest in the franchise. Turns out Star Trek is good again. My dad was the one who had gotten me into it when I was a kid. And at that time I had gotten into another hobby that's right you already know what I'm talking about

gluing badly painted pieces of plastic together

Model making!

So I decide shit I'm due for a midlife crisis. All my models I made as a child were destroyed during a move let's repeat this mistake!

So I did.

I've been working on these since August and it's been fun! Defintely a highlight of becoming Old. It's a lot of thinking and patience and planning and being frustrated and watching one small mistake snowball into a disaster so as a writer I'm in my element. AND I spend a lot of money to glue tiny plastic bits together! The benefits speak for themselves.

So all this is to show what I've done so far.

My first model was the Grissom and, well, it's a first model. The colors are wrong the paint job is bad the decals are torn. But it's a small model and cheap too and that's why I started with it. A lot of good lessons, most of them about using the right tools for the job. Tempted to get another one just to contrast with what I've learned.

My next model was the larger Enterprise-A (these are all 1/1000 scale). At this point I had gotten an airbrush and also started using washes, which is where the black lines come from. An improvement! Still I was having trouble with assembly. Needed to learn how to fill and sand down gaps between parts. There are also painting errors but at least the brush strokes aren't so obvious and you'd need to look real close so whateva

So like, I said that I didn't much like Enterprise. Too much time spent on the time war, too much let's do space 9/11. But I do like the ship design and it was on sale so yeah. I think I improved on the assembly and filling. I wish I had spent more time accenting the ship by picking out more pieces in bronze. But really the whole thing is kind of ruined by the big damn decal that sits awkwardly on two knobs that causes the whole thing to wrinkle up. It's annoying. If I knew this would happen I would have cut out a space around the knobs so the decal could settle better. Like look at this.

Awful.

Anyway.

Just finished last night! The original Enterprise! I've gotten better at assembly and filling in gaps, but it's still not good. Lots of little gaps that I should have caught, but not as many as before. Plus this one I mixed paints to get the gray green hull color and I'm pretry happy with the result. Learning to dry fit parts to anticipate problems further down the line. But overall I'm pleased with how this came out. The original ship has a very simple design but it's intricate in places. I feel like you could paint a version that looks cel-shaded to look like the animated series version. idk might be fun.

I have long term plans. My sister sent me a model with an LED light kit for my bday. Not confident enough to tackle that yet but will get to it. Gonna continue to collect more versions of the Enterprise in the meantime, tho that's gonna be a whole thing. Wanna branch out into other model fields too. My sister asked me to do a couple miniatures for her ttrpg group and Iight try a gunpla at some point. We'll see!

[orbdog]

ignore how like...stupid red my hands are here but >_>

i got two more figures in the build a portal set! :] i originally wasnt planning on going all in to build the portal, as that isnt really where my interests lie when it comes to figure collecting, but i already have the zombified piglin and the brute on the way so...why not? these little figures make me so happy, and having an end goal of making the whole portal has given me something to look forward to!

i really need to take pictures before i open these things. but first, heres the wither skeleton!

as always the detail on this little guy is super neat. its very hard to get on camera, but instead of having different painted sections for all the shades of gray and black, they have different textures! which looks really great.

because of his big ol head and little skinny legs he struggles to stand up on his own, and his center of balance gets even worse when you pop the stone sword in his hand. he just kinda topples over lol im sure this is just a problem with the regular skeleton as well. his arms also dont pop out at an angle like the piglins do. i assume this is because theyre too small for that, or theres just no need to since most of the time in game hes gonna be in one of like, two poses, but i thought it was fair to at least mention that.

hes still really cool, and he came with the inside of the portal so of course i had to get him.

no real complaints though!! love the guy.

up next, my first (and so far only) non nether mob: THE GOAT

im obsessed with this guy. the level of detail on such a small and weirdly shaped figure is awesome. the layers of wool, his big dopey head, i just love it. hes got some okay articulation for what they were working with, his head moves up and down for proper Head Bonkin and his legs move as well. he also game with a spawn egg??? which is such an odd choice for an item, but it did give me the chance to give the piglin way too much power

aaaand yeah! those are the the next two in the set! im still waiting on the piglin brute to ship out (preorders =_=) and im still on the hunt for the strider (which is either a preorder or its. on sale at target?? i dont know its very mysterious) and a creeper that doesnt have a super huge upcharge.

but wait ...whats this? A BONUS KIND OF IMPULSE BUY THAT IM ACTUALLY SUPER HAPPY WITH??

THATS RIGHT BABY WE GOT THE GHAST!!!!!!!

this is genuinely one of the coolest things in my collection. quite possibly outshining the ruined portal lego set in my favorite piece of minecraft merchandise. almost....maybe.

not only is it the second best nether mob, its also a WEAPON. with the button on the back you can shoot out these little plastic "fireball" chips at the face of your nearest enemy!

it comes with ten of the slightly translucent pieces of plastic. i definitely didnt look directly at the business end while seeing how it works right after opening. nope. not at all.

the cool part though, is that a plastic plate in the face moves up when you push the button in, revealing its "attack" face

something about this is just so cool to me. they didnt have to add that detail at all but it makes it all the more special. another thing they didnt have to do but did?

ALL OF THE LEGS ARE ARTICULATED???? what a cool touch! theyre set at different lengths, and when tilted slightly backwards like in game, it stands up on its own even when its full of chips. makes it perfect to sit at the back of some kinda display like its floating behind everything. its pretty much to scale with the other figures as well which is really nice.

the perfect discreet weapon no home intruder will ever expect! :D (i do not condone ghast related violence)

anyway, overall i really dont have any complaints about any of these figures so far. theyre all lovely in their own ways, all look great on their own or with other figures.

[illegiblewords]

ILLEGIBLE’S TOTALLY SUBJECTIVE FAVORITE EORZEA COLLECTION DESIGNS: MALE

I’ve mentioned in the past, the main thing that made me start playing FFXIV properly was seeing people’s character designs. I’m still honestly blown away by the creativity and range of approaches people bring to this game, so I’ve decided to be an absolute madwoman and break my favorites into subcategories to share with anyone curious.

And to be clear. I’m not going to do something so broad as “oh top ten in-general :3″ because that would be sensible. No, I’m going to do it for all the current combat jobs. And all the current races. And different genders within the races and combat jobs as things stand. And I’m going to make a model-focus subcategory. And there are gonna be LOTS. Because I seriously cannot understate how inspired I’ve been by this community, and after however many years I just feel the need to vomit some incredible visuals I’ve encountered at you guys lol.

NOTE: In an abundance of caution, I want to stress this list isn’t a value judgment on anyone but a fragment of things that blew me personally away. Looking at the DRK sections it will be immediately clear that I Illegible really like that edgy dark knight aesthetic lmao, but there are plenty of non-edgy dark knights that I also love to bits. Other people might not like edgy dark knights. Due to a combination of size and search constraints plus trying to keep gear somewhat varied, these glamours are just what wound up on this particular list of mine. I could make another list one day. Other people can make lists too that are totally different.

Also, I was originally going to make a single post that went over male and female options presented in the character creator but straight up tumblr wouldn’t let me save because it got too big. You can see the female character post here.

HeliosR - Victor Valentine Card story ‘‘Seeking for what’s frightening’’

Translation of Victor Valentine’s 4* ‘’Gothic Halloween’’ card story from ‘Helios Rising Heroes’.

Gray: Uwah, amazing… Did you make this, Victor-san…?

Victor: Yes, this robot was built by me. I’m occupied with pouring all my time into producing these for the upcoming Halloween League.

Gray:  I had assumed you were leaning more towards biochemistry… But to be able to build robots too, that’s seriously amazing...

Victor: As you thought my area of expertise is chemistry, however if I had to be honest, I barely have the confidence to manufacture these… 

Victor: And on top of it, I had been also struggling with the design itself...

Gray: Eh… Wondering if it has enough punch to it, you mean… I already think it’s scary enough as is though....

Victor: Adding that pinch of “scary” has been considerably difficult. I’ve been making these as requested by Marion, but as far as the details go, I’ve only received how it should be thematically based on “evil spirits of Halloween”.

Victor: Naturally I have referred to literature to form a general outline on the matter, but what traits resemble an “evil spirit”, about it having a factor of “spookiness” to it...  No matter how far I go with investigating the matter, I simply cannot draw the line where it’d be most suitable.

Gray: Like evil spirits… spookiness….

Victor: What is your impression of it, Gray? Do you think it’s able to represent those traits of an “evil spirit”?

Gray: Eh? Eeeh… uh, um…

Victor: Please do not hold yourself back, and be as candid as you can.

Gray: Be as candid as I can… Right, right...

Gray: Whether or not it looks like one, I can say that it’s absolutely close but… Um… on the contrary, it might actually be a bit too scary... 

Gray: H-how do I say this… It’s like originally you were going for CERO A but ended up heading towards CERO D instead…?

Victor: CERO……? What may that be?

Gray: Ah… awawah, sorry…. I used a game rating system for scale… a Japanese one too…

Gray: The Halloween League is an event that children will attend, in terms of gaming that would be for an event for all ages...

Gray: But, as of now it feels more that it’s heading towards a more mature audience… So I was thinking all like, how about aiming for a younger one instead~... but please don’t mind it too much...

Victor: Hmm, I see…That is very interesting, or I should rather say an intriguing point of view.

Victor: I will do as you said and make an attempt to aim for a younger demographic, however with how it has been currently going, I don’t quite have the grasp on what I should do to change it.

Victor: If you don’t mind, could you tell me more about video games for all ages to use as a reference point going forward?

Gray: !! O-ofcourse…!

-

Victor: Hooh.... Even though it’s shortly summed up as for all ages, there seems to be quite a variety of video games.

Gray: For now I kept it limited and looked up horror games that came to mind… You’d come across even more games if you were to look it up

Gray: Uuum… if you’re looking for a game that has enemies that are “evil spirit”-like, then maybe this one…?

Victor: Yes, that kind of caricature is good. It gives an impression closely resembling the ones in animation for children. 

Gray: P-personally I think it’s good if it’s as scary as these enemy characters here but… That is for you to decide...

Victor: Hmm…. If I were to judge from your perspective, would this be more scarier?

Gray: Eh? Yes… it, would be….?

Gray: I feel, that the difference is pretty obvious but… you don’t seem to think so, Victor-san?

Victor: Indeed. Even though we’re going in a different direction, I don’t feel that any of them are frightening, thus making it difficult to judge.

Gray: R-right…

Gray: Uh… I’m just asking this out of curiosity but… Is there, something that you’re scared of, Victor-san…?

Victor: Something that I’m scared of?

Gray: Ah, aaah, uuum, it’s just… it’s okay if it’s too hard to answer, or if you don’t want to! I suddenly asked something weird anyway, I’m sorry….

Victor: Fufu, what are you apologizing for? I don’t believe it was odd by any means.

Victor: Something I’m scared of… you ask? I haven’t played any video games before so on that matter I have nothing to say, and in regards to horror movies I don’t recall being frightened once. 

Gray: Eh… so you’re like, totally fine with ghosts and demons and all that…?

Victor: More that I don’t believe in such things due to my point of view as a scientist, rather than being fine with it.

Victor: Well, realistically speaking “Ghosts believing scientists” such as Nova are not too uncommon out there.

Victor: I do want to believe in the possibility of it… Unfortunately, I have yet to see a theory that justifies it to begin with. 

Gray: Wah… you’re amazing, Victor-san…. Makes me a bit embarrassed given how I accidentally believe in anything...

Victor: No, I wouldn’t say that I am. I do occasionally envy those who are able to simply enjoy horror movies as is.

Gray: Is that so…?

Victor: Do you have any issues when it comes to horror and occult, Gray?

Gray: Aah, no… I’ve built up a tolerance for it because of games that are full of it...

Gray: Besides, I think… humans are scarier than any ghost or demon, 100 times more scarier even….

Victor: Human themselves…. For example, such as Asch Albright?

Gray: !! Eh, eeeeh…. yes… His name alone makes me sweat bullets, weirdly enough...

Gray: But, not just A….sch, but I’m scared of coming in contact with other people in general...

Gray: Even before talking to them actually, like what if they hate me…. what if they think I’m weird… that’s all I end up thinking about

Victor: Which means that you are currently feeling the same sense of dread when talking to me this moment?

Gray: T-that’s right… Aaah, but, you’re not scary Victor-san… Um, it’s just...

Victor: Yes, I understand. I’ve mentioned it before, but I don’t believe there’s anything odd about you, Gray. 

Gray: V-Victor-san….!

Victor: My apologies for getting us sidetracked. Could you lend me your wisdom for a little longer? 

Gray: Ah, yes… yes of course!

--

Nova: Oooh, looks like you made a lotta progress~ Making ghouls and all♪

Victor: I was able to because of the advice I had received from Gray, and so I was finally able to see the light.

Nova: Good pals with Gray-kun now, eh? Well with Ren-kun too but, lately more people have been dropping by your lab. Lookit this celebrity here~♪

Victor: ...You’re surprisingly in a good mood today, aren’t you now?

Nova: Mmh, haven’t slept so I’m feeling somewhat all over the place

Nova: I’ve been absorbed into making these robots too, and before I knew it three whole days had passed~ That scared me real good, yanno

Nova: Wait a second, nobody came to see me in these three days….!? I wanna be a celeb tooooo~!

Victor: How about resting your mind and body, rather than dawdling around here?

Nova: Naaw~ The adrenaline’s coursing through my veins, not feeling tired in the slightest~ 

Nova: Whatever you say, making these robots is right where I belong. Had lotsa fun doing it too

Nova: Obviously I’m paying enough attention to safety and all that, but there’s more space to feel at ease compared to what I usually do for work….

Nova: Not that I’m forgetting substance research by any means, it’s just pretty nerve-racking when combined with making assets and tools for the heroes to fight with 

Nova: Didn’t mean to pay that much mind to it, still it’s a heavy responsibility to have one’s life in your hands... 

Nova: Makes me go all like, damn, this fear of failure and what to do about it sure is always growing ain’t it now!~ like some kinda realisation each time, yanno

Victor: ….., fear….

Nova: You’re always doing such a fantastic job, me~

Nova: A Summerfieldtastic job~....

Victor: …….

Nova: Eh, no response!? Here I was putting all my energy into being an idiot, and instead of straight manning me, you straight up ignore me!?

Victor: Aah, my apologies… There was something on my mind.

Victor: What did you say?

Nova: I-I didn’t say a word! Vic’s a dummy! I’m gonna go to my room and sleep! Good-NIGHT!!!

Victor: …..?

Fun trivia corner:

The Japanese game rating goes from CERO A to D, and Z. All ages would be CERO A, for 12 years old and above CERO B, for 15 years old and above CERO C, for 17 years old and above CERO D, and at last CERO Z for 18 and above. The European one is PEGI with age specific ratings (PEGI-3, or PEGI-18) and the American one is ESRB, with letter codes such as T for teen, M for mature, and so on. Helios is rated as 12+ on the Apple app store, that would be CERO A, PEGI-12 or ESRB T.
