Kwahu made friends with an anima yak, who is now named Suzette. She'll give us lovely blue anima wool which we can sell or make lovely blue clothes from!

I'm calling this gift from Arwell "Chekhov's Bionic Leg" for no reason in particular.

Anyway, time to go fight a mech cluster!

Well, we defeated the mechs but forgot to get out of dodge before the turrets exploded! I'm sure there is only minimal damage, though, right?

Oh damn. That looks painful... At least we have a bionic leg to replace it, right, Kwahu?

... Kwahu?

oh hell

I just realized the most tragic thing - that I cannot gush about 31st October being Dziady / Forefathers' Eve because it's a Polish thing and none of my mutuals know what it is and no really good translation of the dramatic works exists to have them read it :(((

It's like a traditional Polish Halloween and nowadays it's mainly known from Adam Mickiewicz's (he's to Poland what Shakespeare is to England) 4-part drama centered around it. It follows a tortured poet (my blorbo, I love him) during the time Poland was partitioned and erased from the maps, its people oppressed but always fighting back. It is one of the most important and culturally significant Polish works ever created. And it's got, like so many themes, so many themes you guys. It's one of my favorite works ever one of my all-time dreams is to play Konrad, a protag from part 3.

So if anyone does know it or is interested in finding out more please please please message me or drop an ask I'd love to infodump!!!

Me, startled out of tactfulness by the force of the realization: Oh god, I didn't even understand the full weight of what I was escaping by eloping. [Turns to the Favorable Instigation] Your mom, with the best intentions in the world, would have done a bridal shower.

My mom, clearly beating down an identical sense of oh god: and I would have had to help

Spring through the Seasons AU - The beginning

I thought I'd just provide some of the sketches that show the main idea behind the story of this AU with something that isn't just a simple description of events that take place in it. (So yeah, the sketches are incorporated between the text if you are more interested in the art and not the story.) Depending on future posts, there may be also some sketches with simple description texts. It will basically depend on what I'm in the mood for and what fits the situation better. But either way, have fun with what could be considered the prologue for this AU.

-

A strong wind blows through the colorful treetops, making them rustle and tugging at their leaves, detaching them from their home and dragging them far away. The ruler of this realm watches the eternal bustle in solitude. Twirling a fallen maple leaf between his fingers, he stares out at the lake and the small island in its center. Once more, as he had done so often lately, he wondered if there was anyone out there beyond the wild animals. Someone he could talk to. But the little rafts he had built out of sticks and sent out on the lake in the hope that someone would find them didn't seem to have arrived anywhere. Or… simply hadn't been discovered. But perhaps there was just no one left but him. His second attempt, the journey to the border of his realm, had only led him to an unclimbable cliff of cold and smooth stone, while a storm like he had never seen before - white and icy cold - had blocked his vision and chased him back again deeper into his own realm. After encountering this massive obstacle, he had given up trying to explore the other border of his home to save himself from further disappointment. And yet… he still hoped that someone would come and find him.

Slowly, his fingers open. Releasing the leaf in his hands and allowing the wind to take it on a journey that he can not go on. Perhaps it will find it's way beyond the borders of his homeland.

It all started with one fallen red leaf brought to your little world by the stormy autumn winds coming from across the island.

Dancing in the wind, it made its way across the clear spring sky. Bright red, like the shell of a ladybug. You had never seen anything like it before. The leaves of the trees and bushes in your home coming all in a variety of shades of fresh, bright green.

You stare up in fascination, following the strange leaf as it sinks lower and lower until you only have to reach out your hands to catch it.

Where could it have come from? Did it come from the white lands in the west? Or the dark green forests from the east? Or… perhaps from even further away? Your imagination runs wild as you try to imagine how a crown of leaves covered in crimson might look.

There was a strange urge in your chest that you had never felt before. You wanted to see it with your own eyes. The place where this leaf came from…

Edit: If you are new to this AU and want to know more about the concept you can look at the introduction part.

Dark fantasy AU?

-In hindsight, as he's being chased through the forest, hunted by mythical creatures is not where Reggie thought he'd end up when his folks told him they were moving to Los Angeles. Honestly, considering how he used to roam the woods and fields near his Meemaw's farm, the fact that he'd stumbled into a fairy circle near the beach was almost insulting.

-It's not even that he manages to outrun them. It's that one night (he thinks it's night, though time moves differently here and light and dark are all tangled up and is the purple haze of the sky supposed to be dusk or dawn or just a dark stop of the forest?) he'd decided to just... give up.

He couldn't remember how long he'd been running, running from the pounding of hooves and the yapping of dogs that did not look anything like what a dog should look like. He couldn't remember a time where he wasn't hungry, or thirsty, or tired, but something inside of him just kept making him run and run and run

-But he'd had enough. So he just sat down, with his back towards the noise, and hoped they'll kill him quickly. And to comfort himself, he sang the lullaby his Meemaw used to sing when he was scared of the thunder.

-That's what saved him. One of the fae, Caleb, was so charmed by the song that instead of doing whatever it is they did with their prey, he bundled Reggie up and took him to his... castle. Dwelling. Domain.

-He was dressed in finery and made to sing as Caleb and the other fae danced and ate and did things that Reggie very much had not wanted to see, thank you very much. But eventually, they slept, and Reggie met... the other humans who were trapped here.

-Luke, a young boy who had run away from home to become a musician in 1875. He was distraught to hear Reggie tell him it was the nineties now. Even more distraught when Reggie clarified it was the 1990s.

-There was Alex, who had been cast out of his village for reasons he did not want to share, but that Reggie figured out pretty quickly when he saw the way he looked at Willie. He'd fallen asleep near a fairy circle, and the promises he'd been made had been so tempting, he'd said yes before he fully understood the deal.

-And then there was Willie. The boy who had been stolen from his parents, a changeling left in his place. Who had grown up here, a part of this world yet not really. Who did not know what the other boys meant when they talked about years, or America, or really the whole concept of 'family'.

-Luke's the one who tells them of their escape plan. Alex is worried they can't trust Reggie not to rat him out to Caleb, and Reggie is like: um excuse me I was just hunted for sport for who knows how long you think I wanna help that guy?

-But before he can Willie just tilts his head and says: his heart is pure.

-Which is very sweet but also a little creepy.

-Anyway, they do manage to escape Caleb's clutches somehow, and end up back in the human world.

-Being yeeted out of a little ring of mushrooms in the soil of a plant Ray overwatered in the big plant wall of the Molina studio was not particularly pleasant, okay. Considering a real human should not be able to fit through that. But Willie explained that as soon as a fairy portal grew, it was only a manner of time that the fairies would notice it and stake it out to see what they could lure to their realm.

-Somehow, Luke and Alex get thrown clear across the room, Luke slamming against the door, Alex dropping onto the concrete floor.

-Reggie's not sure if him crashing against a pretty wooden piano is better or worse. The sound it made was definitely worse.

-Somehow, Willie ends up sitting crosslegged on the little piano bench, and he turns and quickly crushes up the mushrooms to destroy the portal.

-Julie, of course, is screaming, Alex and Luke and Reggie are screaming. Willie is trying to explain to Julie she over-watered her fern and pouts when she runs away.

-No they're not ghosts but they are changed and they all have weird powers. Luke nearly cries with joy that he can still summon his guitar. Alex is really not okay with this whole 'walking through walls' thing. Reggie is sad he cannot summon a puppy or a pizza.

-Willie can teleport short distances and is shocked to learn humans can't just do that? You have to walk everywhere? Or ride a horse. What's a car? What's roller skates? He needs to see one of these skateboad things immediately, let's summon the human girl back to ask for one. What can they trade for a skateboard?

-They're kind of freaked out at the whole 2020 thing, but hey, Reggie's like: at least it hasn't been a hundred years like when I told Luke about the 90s.

-Queue canon but it's even worse and more chaotic.

Thinking thoughts about these tags at work today.

[beepbeepmfkr]

Telling people that they don't have a disorder that is highly mis-characterized and largely misunderstood because they don't present as the dude from Split is wildddddddd

What's it like being a mechanitor?

Being a mechanitor is awesome!! It takes a bit of getting used to at first, having all those ultrafine wires settling into their places around your skull, but after that, you have so much power!! You can get mechanoids to do everything you want with little more than a thought! It's perfect for anybody who wishes to transcend their weak, useless bodies! The first step toward a perfected humanity!

... Of course, there are drawbacks. If you happen to be suddenly spawned into existence with every memory of being a mechanitor but none of the actual abilities, it will leave you feeling hollow and more useless than you ever felt before. Now you know what you could be, you feel the loss that much more sharply.

That would never happen, though, so we probably don't need to consider such a ridiculous, outlandish scenario.

SOOOOOO hard to go through everyday life trying to ignore the never-ending feeling that im just irreparably fucked up and therefore should just give up on everything
