#what a fun question ty!!

[joysmercer]

what countries do you think the anubis residents live in post-grad? i keep seeing people saying all of them go to uni in america but that seems unrealistic.

mara, willow, and alfie would stay. i can't think of any reason why they'd leave except if they got a scholarship or something, and given the tor fiasco i doubt willow (or alfie) would qualify and mara's too practical for all that (expenses would still be A Lot) when oxbridge are right in her backyard.

kt and eddie would go home. neither have a real reason to stay in the uk and i think they'd both miss their family. although i can see kt taking on a job (photographer?) that allows her to travel so often that she doesn't really have a permanent place she actually lives in lol. eddie probably goes back to the uk on occasion with patricia.

patricia would go to the us. she doesn't seem particularly close with her family—at least enough to want to stay close to them for the next three years—and i think she'd like the adventure, plus eddie (and nina and amber, canonically, and kt) would be there too. she probably comes back for visits, though.

joy and jerome, as much as i would love for them to live next door to p/e as adults, they would probably stay in the uk, again because they have no real reason to leave. when they earn enough money via jerome becoming a big-shot businessman and/or joy repeatedly being invited to organize the met gala or something, they buy a second home near wherever patricia and eddie happen to be and plan their (business) trips around holidays whenever possible :)

mick, I think, would go to the us for uni on a full-ride D1 scholarship (I'm thinking UCLA for soccer). he qualifies for the olympics/fifa/world champs/whatever at some point during those four years. I can see him staying on after and having a successful college coaching career, but around his early-30s he'll make the move back home (either the uk or australia idk).

fabian would stay in the uk for uni. he studies abroad somewhere in new england for a semester (idk is that a thing in the uk?) or does a 1-year masters at an ivy or something just to see what the hype is about, but i don't see him moving permanently for the same reason as most of the others on this list.

nina is obviously in the us at the end of her senior year and i don't think she'll ever go back to the uk willingly, although she does find herself dragged there far too often (in her opinion) either by amber, a vengeful god, or her publicist (who doesn't understand why she's so averse to promoting her latest potentially-blockbuster movie in the country it's set in).

amber is also at fashion school in nyc during season 3, which she presumably continues in for uni, although maybe she drops out once her designs take off. I can see her moving to the us permanently (mostly because that's where nina is) but traveling around the world for work frequently. she and joy switch-off organizing anubis reunions every other year-ish, and she goes back home (with a somewhat-reluctant nina in tow) for those.

Expand more on sugurus selfishness pls 💕💕

So it’s a need for him to take care and love you? <3 also how would he pick his lover and how to love them 👀

Would he never ever leave you even if it’s healthy for you and you’d be happier that way? (Tbh I don’t ever wanna leave him either 🥺❤️)

AHHH WELL…. it’s tough anon….. i feel like calling him selfish almost paints him in a bad light but i truly don’t see his selfishness as a bad thing 😭 suguru’s love is very very tender, but it’s kind of… rooted in his own need for devotion. if that makes sense. suguru craves to care for you, y’know? it’s all about you, yes, but it’s all about you because that’s what he wants… what he needs… he feels complete when you let him love you. he feels happy when you’re happy. so really it’s all about him, but all that’s running through his mind is you you you…. if that? makes sense???

like. at the end of the day. all suguru wants is to be the one who stands at your side. and he will fight for that position, as opposed to someone like gojo who i think would slink into the shadows if he thought it was best for you….. if your relationship was making you miserable then obviously suguru wouldn’t want you to stay, but. the thing is that he does make you happy. he sees it as his duty and it’s not a duty he’d ever give away to someone else, even if they could love you in ways he couldn’t... suguru is determined to be worthy of you!!!! he needs you and he needs to love you, to make you happier than anyone else. it’s a strong, selfish desire but that doesn’t make it bad!!!

this is a gross oversimplification really but in my brain it’s kinda like….. gojo wants you to be happy. and suguru wants to make you happy. you know??

[neptunesailing]

happy birthday! hope you had a good day. if your requests are open... i've been thinking about your hades game niki art recently, so could i ask for a matching rinne doodle...?

o goddess of victory, lend me your boons (let me find a way to repay you)

[wikitpowers]

How do you think Kit and Anush’s relationship will play out in TWP? Like, do you think Kit will be a bit jealous of him? Anush might be protective of Ty? Maybe they’ll hit it off?

before i get into the kit/anush relationship i wanna first off say that i really hope ty and anush are really really good friends. like i hope they got super tight at the scholomance and can truly rely on each other, i just really need ty to have a bestie like anush (and seems super sweet <3). and if that is the case in twp, then i think kit would definitely be jealous of anush and how close they are. he might even assume they are in a relationship and that would make him even more heartbroken (and me absolutely shattered).

so i think at first, he would for sure be jealous of anush. and actually i think that like you say, anush totally would be protective of ty (that's something i need desperately)!!!!! bc i imagine at the start of twp, kit will be really cold and distant to ty in order to protect himself and anush might feel iffy towards him bc of it as he is ty's best friend. but after all the angst is over, i just know kit and anush are gonna be really great friends and have fun together🫶🏻

AND AHAHHAHA I NEVER THOUGHT THEY COULD HIT IT OFF! THAT'S A NEW IMAGE IN MY MIND :') but honestly, i don't think they would, kinda bc of what i said before. like even if anush found him attractive, he wouldn't act on it bc he wouldn't like kit's treatment of ty. but that's just a silly little theory i made up! f knows what will actually happen :') but what a turn of events it would be if they did hit it off :') but i would also hate that bc 1) NO MORE LOVE TRIANGLES I BEG U CASSIE! and 2) kitty are literally ~soulmates~ and are angsty enough on their own. shit i'm sorry naturally my reply got long :')

"Non paeniteo potitus."

+ details & process

And, process !!

The jump btwn the second to last and last always surprise me whenever I make one of these because I always forget to take snapshots after I start painting. It's always like: oh yeah heres the lineart with some colors- BOOM fully finished✨️

What he's holding are the Austrian imperial scepter and orb, seen below:

I was going to draw the crown too but decided I don't hate myself that much(maybe some other day), and gave him a golden laurel crown, bcs I'm obsessed with that as a motif, and also its very remincient of the boy king statue that started this whole thing!

There's some symbolism of this, both intentionally but also just historically. I love that the orb represents that the monarch is holding the world in their hand, basically every old monarchy has one of those, and I think it's very cool for symbolism. But also bcs of that, I was forced to basically draw catholic fanart so, you win some you lose some. The star halo above him head is both to reference those religious statues with star crowns(I saw them a lot in Europe and they imprinted onto my brain), as well as: his four championships of course!

4. Shut-Up Kiss

Andrew berates Neil endlessly for running his mouth, but Neil has never known anyone to rant as pointlessly and frequently as Kevin. Sometimes it's almost charming; Kevin's love for history sends him on tangents of fascination every now and again, especially with a drink or two loosening his tongue, and his genuine respect and fanboy adoration for the Trojans—and Jeremy Knox—is almost sweet. Sometimes it's concerning; Kevin's breathing turns ragged and his eyes grow foggy when his mind returns to the Nest, and sometimes, now, commentary will come with it, the knowledge that Riko can't touch him anymore allowing Kevin to tell some of the stories that have refused to die with Riko, at least when Andrew and Neil are the only ones around to hear it.

Other times, it's annoying as shit. In these instances, Neil cannot help thinking Kevin's tattoo is glaringly accurate.

Kevin is nothing if not a drama queen.

"You have been doing this drill for two years," Kevin rants now, eyes full of thundery frustration as he looks down at Neil. "You should have long perfected it, even without the addition of your captaincy, and soon I will not be here to pick up your slack. I do not understand how you expect to–"

The thing about Kevin's ranting now is that it's annoying as shit, but the angrier Neil is at Kevin these days the more he wants him. Neil doesn't—will never—find Kevin's scoldings endearing or amusing or anything of the sort, too short of temper as he is, but he has always found a pull in response to Kevin's fire because of how terribly it matches his own.

The thing about Kevin's ranting now is that Neil can still fantasise about punching him while kissing him instead.

Kevin makes a noise against Neil's mouth, indignant and pissed off and wanting, and the fire in Neil's veins stokes higher, burns hotter. He curls a hand around Kevin's neck and draws him down, down, satisfied only when Kevin's arms fall to his waist and pull him up in response.

They only startle apart when a ball thwacks the floor a few inches from their feet, both breathing hard. Neil feels a savage smile curl his lips at the sight of Kevin's hooded eyes, his lips parted and silent.

Then he looks over at Andrew, who appears as bored as ever to anyone who knows him less, but to Neil is amused and annoyed and interested all at once, if only for how his gaze bores into them. He raises an eyebrow at Neil, and Neil is shrugging before he has even consciously decoded the expression, agreeing yes, alright, I'm stealing your moves now.

"Thanks for the show," Andrew says, dryly, and Kevin makes another wordless noise somewhere between dismissive and craving. "Are you done yet?"

To give credit where credit is due, in the past few months of embedding himself more deeply in them than ever before, Kevin had found the remainder of his spine and has been learning to recover himself remarkably quickly. He presses his palm to the dip of Neil's spine and meets Andrew's eyes to return, "Eager to get back to the dorms?"

Andrew flicks his gaze over to Neil, and Neil obliges; Andrew is not quite close enough, but Neil is more than happy to kiss Kevin quiet again.

I often see artists and writers describe an orb type ghost core that 'powers' ghosts, but can't find anything on them outside of fanpieces. Is this something small from canon the fandom latched onto for the sheer potential? Or completely original to fanworks?

[linkvcr]

What are your biggest art influences? And how would you personally describe your style?

Hope you’re having a most epic swagtacular day :]

hero’s-shade-fanclub

hmmm honestly first thing that comes to mind is my friends! we call a lot so i get to watch them draw and i think it has influenced my style quite a bit. other than that ... one thing i do get influenced by a lot is concept art from media i like. smth abt concept art is always rlly good to me

and im not quite sure how id describe my style! its kinda hard for me to describe it at all LOL, it was very interesting seeing how other people would describe my art though, back when i asked for the evil art style challenge [which i still need to do, whoops] if i had to try though, maybe textured and soft? just bc i hardly ever use sharp angles in my art and always use textured brushes lmao

hope u are having a good day too :-] o7

[doriandrifting]

what's on your s5 wishlist? the silly, goofy things!!!

Argyle and Robin interactions, just because I feel like they could create comedy gold.

Murray vs. Byler (Younger Sibling Edition)

Erica and Murray facing off again

El having an Edwina moment—

Vicki/Robin having more dorky, nervous interactions. Them just like fully solving something by rambling amongst themselves, and no one else in the room can even follow it.

Dustin’s reaction to finding out Robin has a girlfriend. Just the “Oh my god! Is that why you two never—” And Steve’s self-satisfied, “—Jeez. Do you have to be told everything?”

Jonathan and Steve realizing they actually get on well now, but being kinda freaked out by it at first and that being a whole bit—them just side eying each other every time they agree.

More of Joyce being flirty with Hopper and him being totally oblivious like in Russia when he just started talking about how excited for food he was LMAO

[bratphomett]

Any really big kinks or anything that really makes you excited?

Yeah I've kinks somewhere but here's what makes me excited cause that's more interesting:

Going to Disney, mostly to eat the snacks.

That part of Fuel by Metallica when James Hetfield goes "Oh, YE-AH!" - I cum every time

Going to a concert

Playing a new game - if you know me, you'll know I'm obsessing with Fallout

Finding out there's a new show/season/episode coming out of something I love - like all this Dexter stuff that's coming back? Halleloo 😭

A really good fuckin' meal

Talking to someone I love

A joint

Omg a really nice pen

Anakin Skywalker

Michael Myers

Probably other stuff too but I'm spacing

[gamethecry]

⌨ What’s a situation you’ve always wanted to RP with the muse? - this can go for any of ur verses :3c!!

gulps audibly and looks around oh my… that's a GREAT QUESTION ACTUALLY ! i'm in a VERY LUCKY PLACE THIS TIME AROUND where a lot of my thread dreams are being fulfilled WHICH IS SO NICE!!!! i feel like every time i come back it's dead but this time i'm eating GOOD!!! if i wanted to be GREEDYYYYYYY, and this is so stupid dumb idiot niche, i really want to thrust mack upon captains (iswm)? something about the idea of that sullen lil dictator having to force himself to be respectful and hold back venom at the idiocy he feels they hold , having to force himself to be in the position where he isn't ALL POWERFUL as he feels he is. i CRAVE ' powerful ' characters being rightfully put in their place. THIS IS FURTHER pushed by the fact that i LITERALLY (if my rp moots werent already so kind) would have said any thread with madison getting his teeth kicked in, being placed in the position he's placed others in TENS of times before to feel the fear THEY felt.

< egotistical human characters met by a bigger/stronger force that forces them to understand their humanity and insignificance 3

@culling asked "👓 - three ways my muse shows intelligence !!" || 3 ways meme

1. SUBTLE POWER PLAY - Circe isn't the strongest sinner out there, she has some strength to her, yes but if she stepped on the wrong toes, her goose is cooked. Which is why she's very much the type to subtly plan, from her very open personality to thinking two steps ahead. What she doesn't have power wise, she makes up in intelligence. Her open personality is something that I imagine is perceived as weak, which is something that works to her advantage. Biding her time, learning about weaknesses to those she's deemed her prey && striking like a viper when the time is right. It's something that I'm sure I could go on about all day but I'm gonna wrap it up.

2. CREATIVITY - Being a runway model in life && becoming a designer in the after life, Circe is a deeply creative person. She's thinking of new designs on the daily, bringing mere drawings to life in her boutique. Such creativity can extend to other outlets, of course!

3. MEMORY - I personally feel like despite her claim of not remembering much && seemingly brushing off things, she has a good memory. Especially when it comes to things that she could possibly use to personally extend her own goals or get the jump on someone!

Newbie question; and I assume the answer is no.

Can you find Stellar Tera type pokemon in raid dens? Are Tera type pokemon randomly generated in the terrarium or are they fixed spawns?

How do you get more stellar Tera shards anyway? Do you get Tera shards from beating wild Tera pokemon as well as raid den mons?

I wasn’t ever really paying attention to drops from wild Tera Pokemon, so I genuinely don’t know.

How would you farm stellar Tera shards anyway?

Sorry for throwing so many questions in the pokemon tags btw~~~ did a cursory quick search and only got how the Tera type works. Could always be looking in the wrong spots tho~~~

I’ll keep digging ~~~

[tuckersdeslauriers]

When you have a long fic do you create a writing routine or do you write when you feel inspired? Also, do you listen to anything while writing or do you prefer silence?

so i will caveat this by saying i haven't been writing fic too regularly (😭) bc writing is my full time job and finding the brain space for both is tricky! but!

when i'm in the zone with a long fic, i try to write every day and work toward a goal - whether that's finishing a section or hitting a specific word count, that benchmark usually changes, i try to chip away at what i'm doing every day. there are some projects where i'm absurdly inspired and crank out like, 10k in 2 days...and there are others where i can barely squeak past 1000 words. for the most part, all of that has to do with where i am mentally and what i'm doing otherwise - but i try to write daily when i have the time.

in terms of music/noise, that changes too - sometimes i am fine to put on whatever kind of music i'm feeling and just go, other times if there are lyrics in my ears i can't write a word so i switch to instrumentals, and sometimes even that is too much for me stimuli-wise and i switch to white noise/turn on the noise cancelling feature in my headphones and just muffle all sounds. this, again, really depends on what i'm writing, what's going on with me personally, and where i am.

for example, right now i'm trying to finish an article for work that's supposed to be published in 3 hrs lol and i am feeling deeply distracted by everything so when i buckle down i am going to wind up either putting on a nature soundscape album or listening to a white noise playlist, bc i can't trust my brain to handle itself otherwise 😂

[fateandloveentwined]

I've been watching Oh My General, which (according to the guide that you made) is a Confucianist Wuxia drama, and it does have lots of royalty power struggle, very rigid hierarchy roles that provoke scandals and allat. A while ago I also read an essay on the history of Daoism, how it stemmed from Confucianism in the period of political disturbance, and how it came to be so ideologically different over time and. it's just so so interesting watching all this drama and secrets and knowledge and vengeance and complicated family connections between the royalty, while my only thoughts are "wow, I wonder how much shorter the plot would have been if they just Talked With Words instead of worrying about staying in accordance with their status and not crossing the line". like, I get you now, Zhuang Zhou

Oh yes haha isn't the "not talking it out and having a bajillion things happen in its stead" the focus of every story. It's interesting!! how Daoism is a philosophy that distances itself from the hustles of society like Confucianism, Legalism, and Mohism, and talks of living a more idealised (and blithe? or jaded?) life outside the confines of what society dictates.

Confucian philosophy is fun as well, that once the emperors have chosen it as the philosophy to follow above all others in the Han Dynasty, it has sort of evolved to become an etiquette and culturally rooted ideology -- somewhat part of an immaterial heritage. And hence the many people in historical drama living by these confines, and maybe not really adhering to them by heart -- all for the show haha.
