#yea…yea let’s go with that

[beardedhandstoadshark]

Y‘know I‘m usually not into shipping at all but, hear me out, TP Link x Hena (fishing pond lady)

No wait come back hear me out

Ok, so. Farmer boy is sad about never being able to see companion again. Country expects him to date the princess and fulfill the fairytale story despite them barely knowing each other and both knowing the city will never be his home. Actual Home Town still expects him to get together with childhood friend like they probably would have if nothing happened, but it did. Both of them changed, but most importantly, by growing into his destiny he outgrew the village. He’s not part of one or the other, but something in between, a wolf trapped behind wooden gates and stone walls. So, Farmer Boy leaves both behind and wanders (hey look it’s the post credit scene)

Riding across the country, searching for something do to, a problems to fix, a new destiny to be fulfilled. Farmer Boy ends up visiting the fishing pond for respite on his travels from time to time, just like it was a save haven during his adventures. Through those meetings, and with more time on his hands than before, they slowly befriend each other over all sorts of different things.

Genuine interest in that rolling game Hena made thats sitting in a corner. Both getting excited whenever Link beats another rolling game level, her making new levels and him beating them turning into a challenge. Oh your brother’s running a small shop at the edge of Faron? No way, my fam lives in Ordon, I even met him. Yea his soup still tastes like shit. Hey you gotta bring me some of that Yeti soup with fish sometime. Yea fishing is pretty cool. Let‘s compare fish notes. Woah that’s some rare guys you’ve got here. What do you mean your predecessor and maybe ancestor also managed to catch that mythically rare fish no one‘s ever seen in decades, that’s wild. Would be funny if we managed to do that too right? Haha, yea, that’s a fun thought. Yea.

Hey what was the price for canoe-fishing with staff supervision again

So they start doing that, but it’s not the right season so they prepare by scouring every lead they can find and Link riding across the country to collect as much info as possible on that fish, meeting in-between to compare and plan and just hang out together and maybe go say the fam and friends hi until summer arrives and they go out together on that canoe every day in hopes that maybe today they’ll finally manage the impossible. And that means more bonding time, during which Soup Brother gets befriended by Ordon villagers through knowing Link and also soup, and they realize that their own family member they haven’t seen in a long time has been doing the best they’ve been in a while thanks to the others‘.

But back to Farm boy and Fish girl, they continue canoe-fishing and bonding, and as the time goes by it becomes clearer that with each passing day they meet less for the fish and more for each other, and sooner than later summer is almost over and they still haven’t caught it. So they sit in that canoe together, maybe it’s even a sunset for that extra cheese if you’re into it, or not, and they go, hey, we had a good time. Promise this won’t be the end? And it won’t be.

…And if you’re up for even more cliche cheese on all that cheesy stuff, maybe right when that conversation happens, the fishing line suddenly gets pulled. Fast. No way?? They look into each other’s eyes and don’t hesitate before grabbing that fishing rod together, pulling as hard as they can, and there it is- the super mythical fish no one’s seen in decades. No way. No way. They got it. They actually- the fish pulls real hard and takes both of them + the canoe with them, swimming back into the pond and leaving them in the water. Ah well, that’s too bad. But now that they know it’s real and here, Link just has to keep coming back here after all so they can try again next summer. So, not that bad after all.

And in the meantime, they can maybe eat some soup with Ordon cheese and rare fish. :)

me, a responsible being, working on the coding project as I should vs. me, a dysfunctional shithead, getting distracted by reading about brains (once aGAIN damnit (it's my favorite "I need to study my field but bc I should do that it's an impossible unthinkable feat now, so I'm reading about something else to fool my brain I'm still being productive"-topic))

been thinking about ur fav assisting you with the hand job you’re giving him. Either you’re not used to giving one or maybe their cock is big enough that your hand can’t wrap around fully, but regardless it has them putting their hand over yours and showing you how they like it. They’re dribbling over both your hands with pre and really all you have to do is watch while they use your hand to get themselves off atp

the thing i feel people don't really take enough into account when it comes to arthur's supposed obliviousness regarding merlin's magic is that merlin is the absolute opposite of what arthur has been raised to believe sorcerers to be. merlin is clumsy and kind and - in the earlier seasons - like walking sunshine. he so obviously has negative desire for actual power, nor any respect for it, and while arthur absolutely knows that merlin isn't stupid, he 100% is an idiot.

and it's not stupid or ignorant on his part! people just do this, whenever they are taught someone who does or believes a certain thing is inherently evil! it's never the friendly guy next door who snacks half of your breakfast and then just grins when you complain, obviously not! arthur trusts merlin even early on, and beyond belief later on. of course merlin can basically do magic in front of him, because there is no part of arthur that actually thinks someone like merlin could have magic. you don't see what you're 100% convinced can't be there. if he ever got there, his already brittle construct of indoctrination and supposed repeated confirmation of said construct would crumble immediately! as it does in dotd after like, a day. it only doesn't in regards to morgana because as far as arthur is concerned, the moment she started using magic she became the cold and ruthless enemy he still couldn't bring himself to actually pursue! like.

it's very easy to think it's startingly oblivious, but one thing i really wish people would keep in mind a little more is that the viewer watches from a different point of view, and operates with a whole other set of information. that arthur operates under a certain worldview in an environment that does not teach to question it at all, and gives little opportunity to do so. it's actually wild arthur questions uther's teachings as often as he does, and considering that every time he does, they, to his knowledge, just get confirmed again (nimueh, morgause, morgana, uther's death, and so on and so forth), it's even wilder that he keeps doing it

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.

Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.

Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.

Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

Have you ever seen a person struggle to draw a nose for 10mins straight? Well, now you can see it in 4x speed!

Here's a little vid of me doodling my addition to @kanskje-kaffe 's fic for my Silco lives AU idea. In this video you can witness:

a moment of stillness when I obviously google "Arcane Silco front" only to curse all known gods that this man only looks at the camera with his head tilted downwards

Silco goes to the hair salon like four times

me saving the file for the first time after 15mins(in real time), panicking. And also me censoring my file location that pops up because that's PRIVATE

oopsie forgot to draw that one support beam welll I'll just quickly add it there, ain't nobody gonna notice

Sadly I don't know what I'm doing 80% of the time when I'm drawing <3 I am just chaotically doing whatever until it looks decent

Do you think there would ever be a chance of Thespius closing the rift? Your art is gorgeous btw! I love it!

THANK YOU!!!!

oh my god dude. the way ive been brewing this question in my head since i made that painting

tl;dr YES.................... AND NO

AU UNLEASHED NOW!!!!!!!! GO MY SCARAB

OK. SO.

all of my ideas about this stewed up before the GGG devs (yugo specifically) confirmed that the gods age xyz years that they've been in the rift if they leave, so I know canonically they would all crumble to dust and/or be old as balls. BUT. WHAT IF THEY DIDNT AND THEY JUST POPPED OUT AS THE SAME AGE THEY WENT IN

[title drop] great god grove 2: RETURN TO THA RIFT

[aka Keeping It Together AU :3c]

----

strong rift winds + isle surrounded by ocean = all of the gods miraculously survive being blown out of the heavens by way of falling into the ocean! so it's up to godpoke and king to find them all and get them back to the rift before thespius..................... well you know ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

the human-gods aren't doing too well... so many centuries of living as extradimensional cosmic dust only to turn back into a lil meat bag will do that to ya. they're scattered around the grove in various states of Bad, most of them sopping wet + looking/feeling like they've been hit by a truck and are too incapacitated to do anything right now. they feel helpless. the protagonists and people of the grove need to help their human-gods get better and FAST, because they all need to get back to the rift together if there's any hope of closing it.

thespius has no idea if the other gods survived the Fall or not. he's just doing the only thing he can to keep The Whole World alive, with just the glimpse of hope that he might be reunited with his love and his family one day. he can't give up. not now. not after everything.

inspekta is fully capable of ending thespius himself, but he's too afraid to touch another god. spending his entire godhood having capo and the bizzyboys do his dirty work for him has made him incredibly bad at direct confrontation. especially with someone he genuinely used to care about, someone who accepted him with open arms.

and so, he has capo and the bizzyboys do his dirty work. out of fear of retribution, they lock down the grove and trash the other gods' symbolism and any likenesses.

but their hearts aren't in it.

through hijinks and rediscovering their humanity alongside their own reasons for entering godhood, the human-gods, helped by the protagonists, regain their strength and form a coalition with the people of the grove-- and the bizzyboys! cue the march to the spire!

----

but strawberrij, you ask, why did none of the other humans offer to jump into the rift, ascend to godhood, and close that mofo themselves way earlier?

well, the people of the grove understand the unbelievably heavy burden of godhood. they have loved ones that they want to live their lives with, spend their final moments with, and that alone is too much for anyone to lose. And, they recognize the gods as a family; as much as they want to stay with their own families, they want to reunite the gods'!

they love their gods. truly. they can't think of anyone else more qualified for the position. (except inspekta cough cough)

it takes gods with experience to knock inspekta down. only they can understand his fear and reach into his heart.

----

at the spire, things aren't looking too hot. the roaring winds and sheer cosmo-electrical energy of the rift have done their damage on thespius; poor guy's barely holding on (literally and metaphorically), and each passing day around inspekta, hearing how the other gods are DEAD GONE EXPIRED wear him down more and more. his love, his core, is the only thing keeping him together.

----

something's wrong. inspekta's distracted by something in the distance, thespius notices in his state of near-unconsciousness.

people climbing the spire.

a crowd?

a grove.

something familiar at the front. someone. someones. his family.

before he can react, inspekta dives down at them, ready to rain fists.

godpoke, capo, and the bizzyboys intercept, blocking and distracting inspekta while the people of the grove rush to get the human-gods to the rift.

some of thespius' strength returns, seeing the people and feeling their love radiating out. he makes out one figure at the front of the crowd-- CLICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

his grip on the rift tightens!!!!

with the help of the grove, against the thrashing winds, the human-gods are lifted into the rift.

THE GODS ARE BACK IN!!!!!!!

with king's help, click clack grabs onto the rift, one arm wrapped tightly against the small unconscious thespius.

together, the five gods (click clack, king, mitternacht, bauhauzzo, huzzle mug) hold onto the edges of the rift, trying to pull, but to no avail.

the gods call out to the skirmish between inspekta and the godpoke. finally, mitternacht's words reach him--

"Hector, is this how you want to be remembered?"

---

the gods close the rift. king has joined them. hector is mortal again.

all is well...?

---- epilogue ----

holding onto the rift for so long was unimaginably brutal.

thespius falls into a deep slumber in his domain, sloooowly recovering all of the divine energy that the rift sapped out of him. click clack stays with him, quietly worrying at his side. his back is always turned to the entrance when godpoke visits. they do what they can to manage both sides of hobbyhoo alone, and will reappear in their tower if he senses a visitor in need enter his own domain, but makes an effort to rush them out so that he can return to thespius.

when he wakes, thespius is changed. he lost much of his hearing from the shrieking winds blowing past him, and had a hand shatter from the sheer energy of the rift. the damage is psychological-- he can't will these things to change back to how they were, no matter how hard he tries.

but he adapts. he is already skilled in sign language, and now uses a mix of sign and spoken word to communicate. he still loves writing scripts with click, and making music. he can feel the vibration in his ukulele.

he's... quieter, now, though. those who visit his domain with often find him lost in thought, more shrouded by his clouds (his head is always in the clouds..... chronic dissociator + daydreamer, now x100000. it kept him alive in the rift... what is it doing to him now?)

the other gods do what they can to give him company, but there is so much to rebuild. these things take time. healing takes time.

:D

P.S. massive massive MASSIVE shoutout to @jathis for their writing inspired by this painting!!! i'm so freacking bamboozled at the idea of being perceived and they are so so talented. pls check them out for more wonderfully angsty (and also super wholesome) thespius/ggg content!!!!!!!!!!!! a lot of their writing also inspired the fleshing out of this AU :-]
