#winged masterpiece

[evercelle]

Xiao had seen Venti’s suit. He’d also seen him wearing it in a photo Venti sent him from the tailor’s. He wasn’t expecting anything to be different when he turned. He was an idiot. It was night and day. In the mid-morning sunlight, surrounded by green grass and vast blue sky, Venti was ethereal. Xiao’s heart lurched. His eyes burned.

A tribute to one of the best fanfictions I have ever read:

Don’t worry, you don’t have to know West Wing to read it <3

I can’t wait for the last chapter!!!

Okay so we have

1. “Important press Conference coming up!”

2. “The enemy has invaded the territory - wait no, the marines are the good ones:)”

3. “Quality Time for the family ❤️”

4. Something official (I may have pasted a small extract of the first chapter in there as a filler *-*)

5. “Home Office on a new level, I guess…”

6. “It’s been quite a while and you’re still going strong - happy birthday to my wingman in the air and on the ground @chiefofstaff (thanks for still putting up with me)”

7. “Small Talk can be just as important as conference meetings”

8. “You leave the room for five minutes and your staff starts destroying state property (just kidding, I love them all)”

9. “The vacation where you meet the extended family”

I know that you wouldn’t see most of that irl, but it’s Pete and he’s Maverick, what can I do?

Here are part 2 and 3 ^^

people think the fun of monster hunter is being a badass fighting dragons with a massive sword and slaying them like an unstoppable hero. but they're wrong. the real fun of monster hunter is seeing capcom create progressively more fucked up ways for monsters to use their wings

Suffer Alone

TW: Implied Torture, Mention of Blood

Prompt Credit: @whumppromptoftheday

Whumpee panted as they rushed to hide behind a boulder. When they didn’t hear any footsteps coming closer, they held their breath and lowered their bloodied and bruised wings. They peeked around the rock to see if Whumper was nearby. Thankfully, the coast was clear. 

Exhaling, they dropped to the ground and pulled their knees up to their chest. A strangled sob fell from their lips as they dug their nails into their clothes. They buried their face into their folded arms, pulling their tattered wings closer to themself. 

They should’ve never ran away from Caretaker. They should’ve never snapped at Caretaker and called him all of those things. They regret it. All of it. They wished it never happened. 

Whumpee wouldn’t be running for their life right now if they had stayed. They wouldn’t be hurt right now if they had stayed. Their wings wouldn’t be so tender and they would be able to fly away from this madness. 

Why couldn’t they be in Caretaker’s warm embrace? Why couldn’t they be at Caretaker’s house where they were guaranteed to be safe? Why did they allow themself to be in this situation? 

Why did they accept Whumper’s “help” to fix their wings? 

If they didn’t run away, their wings wouldn’t have been messed up in the first place. Now they were probably ruined. 

But if they did go back, would Caretaker still accept them? Would Caretaker still love them? Would Caretaker even want to look at them after all the things they said about him? Would he even care? 

Maybe it would be better if Whumpee didn’t go back. Maybe it would be better if they just suffer alone. 

Forever.

i simply must know what rokc is

Yessss my relentless rokc posting has worked!! >:]

The ROKC is a radio show I do with a friend of mine! It follows Nick and Mallory, two grad students in the town of Kullerluk, who soon come to realize that there is Definitely Something Up with the disasters that never stop plaguing their world. There are two main portions to the show:

1.) The horoscopes. Read by Nick each week, the horoscopes seem pretty normal at first, but eventually he shares with the class that he basically blacks out while reading them. They’re usually fairly ominous, and definitely a little prophetic.

2.) The disaster report. Read by Mallory each week, the disaster report details whatever crisis has befallen their town that week, ranging from floods to earthquakes to really dense fog. She usually writes her reports clinically, but every time she reads them she ends up going a liiiiitle off script.

Eventually, they come to realize that their horoscopes and disaster reports are definitely supernaturally attached to the disasters that are happening, and after a lot of arguing back and forth and one minor character death they feel like they’ve maybe figured out exactly what’s going on (they have not).

Aside from that, there’s also the perpetually impassable route 80, Mallory’s one sided beef with local author/film-maker/musician Naomi Beech, and a handful of stupid puns for random places in our fictional town.

That’s like a Very broad overview of what’s going on. My rokc inspo tag is basically anything that I feel I could incorporate in some way to the show, or just has the vibes of it in general! Also some fun quotes from our script for you:

But yeah those are my guys!! I play Mallory and write the disaster reports, my cohost and I tag team the dialogue sections. It’s a pretty fun time. I’d share it here but it’s through my college so uh. Would prefer not to doxx myself. But if anyone’s curious I can and will ramble more about these fools forever and always!!
