#yes i will draw this i love my silly stupid ideas

[kaijuparfait]

I've had this silly AU idea floating around in my head for a while and I think it's time to share it

So how it goes is the Eddie, after becoming a name that most work places avoid, needs money. He needs to pay his bills and buy food for him and Venom and starts looking for more niche jobs

what does he find? Vtuber... NOW HANG ON-

it's like a last ditch attempt, either it works and he doesn't have to show his face and name, or he spends all this money on a good model and fails miserably- and if he fails, well he was gonna end up on the street anyways so might as well give money to someone who may need it

but it does end up working! and the entire AU is Eddie becoming a popular Vtuber streamer

his lore is basically what happened to him in real life, just with a few changes: he was a reporter who, in an effort to find the truth, stumbled into a secret lab and found Venom (Venom keeps their name since the public doesn't know about them)

People love their dynamic of flopping back and forth between working perfectly together, and having a live divorce 5 times per stream. Eddie still does do reporting and talking about things happening in the world and online, but they also play video games. Sometimes Venom even does solo streams late at night to talk with chat about actually the most random topics

SHIFTING ISN'T SPECIAL

please bare with me on this one bc it might be a bit longer than i expected (and excuse my very bad title-naming skills 😭)

in this essay i will try to put down in words exactly what i realised today as i started my first day into reprogramming my mind, something that i’m doing while following reya singh’s method. what is that?

shifting IS easy.

yes, i know everybody says it, but it’s the truth and i’m not telling you this as someone who shifts regularly to her drs, because i don’t (yet!). however, it did just click in my mind why people always say it and mean it. and i feel incredibly stupid for not understanding it waaay earlier than just now, 4 years into my journey.

now, let me walk you through the thought process behind this.

in reya’s 4-day method for reprogramming your mind, she instructs to write a list of your beliefs and non-beliefs. this may sound really silly and kinda useless at first - believe me, i woke up this morning thinking “what exactly am i supposed to do after that?” - but there’s a valid reason for it, which is to help you delete from your mind the idea that shifting is like a superpower that’s simply not for everyone and very hard to reach, when that is not the case at all!

in my own beliefs list, i’ve written “i am capable of shifting” right in between “i can speak english”, “i can write and read” and “i can eat --” (and some other things like “i can’t eat gluten”, bc i have celiac disease, “i can dream”, we all do! and “i can lucid dream”). you see where i’m going with this? i’m putting shifting in the same category as things we all normally do, that we sometimes don’t even think about doing since they’re such a natural activity. to this list i could add “i can breathe”, because we do it automatically, without even realising unless we focus on it. the same can be said for drinking or eating really, if you’re angry or thirsty you just go and get whatever pleases you the most and not dwell on it.

in the non-beliefs list, i’ve written obvious things like santa and the easter bunny (which isn’t common here in italy tbf but yeah) and sentences like “i can’t swim”, “i can’t draw”, “i can’t eat strawberries” and in between them also “i don’t fear shifting”. here, the point is that all these listed beliefs are stuff i know for a fact to be false: i can swim perfectly, i am an artist and i love strawberries + i’m not allergic to them or anything. by placing shifting there, i'm stating that just like i KNOW i can swim or whatever, i also KNOW i'm not scared of shifting.

you’re literally gaslighting your subconscious mind into believing what is real for a fact and what isn’t.

after writing down this list, which can be done on paper just like on your preferred device, i reread everything twice explaining to myself why i chose these things and why they are beliefs or not. that’s how i realised that shifting is easy. when people talk about it “clicking” they weren’t lying!

shifting isn’t special, this is what the list thing tries to prove you. it’s not special because, just like breathing and eating and reading, we do it subconsciously everyday. take your own first language: you speak it naturally without having to doubt it, and if you know a second language well enough like i know english for instance (my mother-tongue is italian) then you can even start talking to yourself and think in that language without having to search up translations.

what’s the difference with shifting then?

the difference is that shifting hasn’t been taught to us in the same way as a language has been, all throughout school. the same thing goes for reading and writing: we read and write naturally because we’ve been taught how to when we were young and it’s now engraved in our brains, just like with learning our first language, which is something we normally do thanks to our teachers, our families and the people around us, of course. this doesn’t happen with shifting in most cases, as we all know, which means it’s normal for it to take a bit to grasp as a concept and existing thing/activity. it’s natural, most of us human beings just don’t know about it, nor that we’re capable of doing it.

this is why i said it’s not special: just like breathing, everybody can do it (and so do you)!

going back to the non-beliefs list; i should also add that as a society we usually are taught what to believe in from a young age, and specifically what is believed to be a fantasy, a dream, or something real. as grown-ups, though, we have the right to believe in whatever we want, like shifting. as a realistic person, i understand that some people may have a hard time believing something as great as shifting could be true, because it genuinely doesn’t sound like it! so yes, this is also a factor that can and does make it harder for someone to trust their guts and expect to wake up somewhere that’s only fictional here.

shifting clicks for everybody at different times, but i hope this post will help some of you here understand it better and know that what more experienced shifters say always has a meaning, you just need the time to properly reflect on it to get it!

when it clicked for me a few hours ago i felt a huge rush of adrenaline and happiness bc yes, i can actually shift. i’m just overcomplicating it for no reason and so many of you are doing the same!

it’s okay though, we’ll all get there <3

(psa: if you saw any grammar mistakes or anything NO YOU DIDN'T and also please don't mind if this rant doesn't sound logical, i tried my best to explain myself like i wanted to 🥲)

Ayo, someone by the name of Curly-B-Blog is redlining art of yours from 2020 (while pretending that it's actually Sai Scribble's work), and kind of being a dick about it. just thought you should know.

You know, originally I was just gonna brush it off, but then I went back to look at my old SU art from 2020 and did so much self reflection from then till now.

I think this was around the time I was just learning how to do perspective and tried to use the perspective tool on Procreate for the first time? :0 and I remember telling Sai “Sai I have this STUPID idea, I CANT believe it this stupid joke it’s so DUMBBBB, it’s living rent free in my BRAIN I SWEAR THIS IS GONNA BE SO STUPID DCIUWHEFIUWHIRFUIW4F” and being super excited to show her the finished product. People still think Sai created the Cursed Skin Gloves comic and I think it’s hilarious wjhwnuhwijwuiw

The comic was received very well and it made LOTS of people laugh and I’m still proud of this comic to this very day! :D and tbh if it wasn’t for my obsession for Sai’s Switcheroo AU I never would have found my passion in comic work! (love you you stinky hoe @saiscribbles 🩷)

HOWEVER…. I definitely still had lots to learn! I wasn’t very good at perspective at the time I’ll admit, but I was definitely having lots of fun learning :3

And throughout the past 4 years, ALOT has happened.

I graduated from college with TWO fancy pieces of expensive papers in Visual Development in Animation and Illustration learning from Will Kim and Jeff Soto, and as a I was working with the funny voice man Cougar MacDowall as a comic/story artist and reached in total around 7 million views for my fan series FNAF Security Malware Breached (it was even #21 on the trending list around the time of my birthday 🩷 what a lovely gift), had an insane opportunity to work with Mike Geno and with the voice cast from The Amazing Digital Circus for a fan song as a background and character asset artist, Vivienne Medrano liking and sharing my silly Overlord Husk AU comics, currently on my route to getting my certificate from Aaron Blaise’s Character design program and graduating from Marc Brunet Art School, and now I am completing my first year as professional colorist and art assistant for my storyboard and comic mentor Michelle Lam, aka Mewtripled! (Also I’ll be heading out to Lightbox Expo 2024 on October 26 with Michelle and the team so if y’all ever wanna meetup hahahajaj wink wink wink wink wink)

So you can say I learned ALOT and I enjoyed every minute of what I do :D I try to be humble about my accomplishments because blah blah being humble good yes yes but this time I wanna be selfish and say HELL YEAH I DID ALL THIS!!! AND IM SO EXTREMELY PROUD OF MYSELF FIUGEIURGERGGRS

Now here’s my most recent comic page that I posted like 2 days ago without the text.

That’s pretty freakin wild to me, I can’t believe I used to draw Steven Universe art like that back in 2020 LOL LIKE GUYS I DREW THIS!! WITH!!! MY HANDS!!! IS THAT NOT INSANE!!!???

Anyways moral of the story:

Learn from everyone and everything! Yes, even then mean ones too! If you can learn to work with anyone, I promise you’ll get to where you want to be faster. People can be a little mean on the internet, but that shouldn’t stop you from being where you want to be in the future. I’m so EXTREMELY grateful for all the opportunities and to all the kind professionals who were willing to give me a chance. Seriously, I’m so graciously thankful for everything, and I hope everyone here will support me and my silly little comics I will do now and in the future!

And one more thing:

Don’t be a jerk. Be to be nice to everyone :D nothing good comes out when you’re bad to everyone.

Sudden thought of Inside Out AU, but it's Alastor's emotions we see. What would they look like? :0 (it's okay if you're not into this idea)

GET OUT OF MY HEAD i was just thinking that (i'm not gonna draw it tho lol i'm gonna die kjdhjlfkdgdljhk it's stupid) (they're all just mini alastors but in different color IFUVJIHLGKDFLGKDFGKLJDUH i told ya it's stupid)

but i was thinking what if a person like has very organised mindscape, there would be mini version of themselves controlling all emotions and having access to any memory at any time, and that would be what is happening in Alastor's head lol

Also he (in my headcanon) has that other voice in his head, and i'm not sure about that, how it would look... like another entity in there? possibly...

also, big question which emotion is the main one?... i'm not sure, my variants are anger, joy or disgust (SADNESS IS LITERALLY BANNED LOL) (sometimes (very VERY rarely) it manages to get to the controls and it's a disaster) (i haven't seen inside out 2 yet, if there any important lore then i don't know it, but i know there are like new emotions, is there hate? can Alastor have it? that would be very fitting for him (DON'T TELL ME IF THERE HATE IN THE MOVIE i dont' wanna spoilers)) (all other emotions and mini alastor are fighting sadness and The Voice is just watching them with popcorn) (also sadness made all the memories with mom sad because yyyeeeaahh)

ALSO??? like. Alastor doesn't remember those 7 years, but they aren't forgotten compelitely, just blocked, how would THAT look?? A huge wall?

also, core memories. one with mom, for sure. one with his first kill (his dad cough cough). sOMETHING ABOUT RADIO! Yes! Question, can core memories form in afterlife? if so then Rosie must be in one.

i'm thinking too much about this silly crossover i never gonna draw lol

but feel free to use these headcanons btw, if anyone wants to draw anything let me know i'd love to look at it (and die probably)

WIP Wednesday

Hello everyone, happy Wednesday <3 This will be my last wip until two weeks time due to the holiday so we'll get back to normal Jan 1st. Starting the new year off right :)

Thank you for the tag @hircines-hunter <3

Tagging: @bougainvillea-and-saltwater @theoneandonlysemla @dirty-bosmer @thequeenofthewinter @pocket-vvardvark

@firefly-factory @changelingsandothernonsense @ladytanithia @lucien-lachance @scholarlyhermit @captain-of-silvenar

Theodora's children have taken over my brain and I got this silly idea of Arthano visiting Ceri at the CoW while she is working under Faralda in Destruction. Though she notices he's acting odd, not like himself... he's so real for this love older women under the cut because long EDIT: He has blood on him from fighting a bear earlier he's fine don't worry about him

Whilst they are chatting in the main courtyard, her explaining the three different towers and what they contained, her mentor approaches them. 

“Hello Professor Faralda, how are you this afternoon?” There’s a notable change in her brother’s, suddenly standing taller as he removes the bloodied gloves, holding them behind his back as though he were hiding them. 

“I’m quite well, Ceridwen.” A soft smile towards her before turning to him. “Ah, you must be Arthano, your sister mentioned her brother would be visiting.” 

“Yes, I am Ceridwen’s brother, pleasure to meet you Professor Faralda.” Ceridwen? Ata and Ricardo called that, Mother only doing so in formal settings; her eldest sibling never used her full name. Only ever Ceri. It felt foreign hearing it in his voice, saying it casually like it was the norm for them. Now that she thinks more on it, everything he said sounded unlike him. Far too formal to come naturally from the lovable but brash man she knew him to be. Here he was using the type of speech they made fun of others for, especially their brother. Even on serious occasions, he had a habit of making jokes out of anything and everything; now very polite.  

“I’ve been told you are a mage yourself, a conjurer specifically.” Gesturing with his hand, the older continues with his odd speech, adding mannerism to the mixture as well. 

“Yes, I mostly work with bound weapons but I’ve dabbled a bit in Destruction myself. Nowhere near Ceridwen but not inexperienced.” Dabbled? Is that what he calls it?

“What spells in particular? Electromacy like your sister?” 

“I mostly stay in the realm of pyromancy.” Repeated use of the Flames spell because he coulded be bothered to learn more is not exactly what she would refer to as pyromancy; Arthano was always one to stretch the truth. Faralda extends a similar smile to him now. 

“Hmm,, very interesting, I assume you’ll be accompanying Ceridwen to dinner this evening?” 

“Naturally of course.”

“Well, perhaps we all can discuss further then, I have some work to attend to now.” Turning to leave, the instructor makes one final comment. “Arthano?” 

“Yes Faralda?” Such a stupid grin wipes over his face. What is going on with him?

“You are very much as your sister described you. Though I’d wash the blood off before dinner.”

“Yes Ma’am.”

Still caught up in how abnormal he’s being, it’s not until he opens his mouth again does she draw a conclusion. Fixing his posture, uncharacteristically proper tone, inflating his Destruction skills as if they were  No.

“Hmm, so you’ve mentioned me?” His eyes still watching Faralda leave she seizes the opportunity while he’s distracted. Ripping one of the gloves out of his hand, she whacks him with it. 

“No, no, no!” 

“What the fuck? I haven't done anything!” At last he is sounding like himself again. One more smack in the shoulder as she disregards what he is saying. “Help help, I’m being assaulted!”  

“I’m sorry I don’t want my brother trying to get with my advisor!” 

“I’m not trying to do anything, Ceri. Just introducing myself, I don’t know if you’ve heard but that is the polite thing to do when meeting someone for the first time.” Another smack as she throws the glove this time, letting him retrieve it from the snow. 

“Like I believe that,” In an attempt to mimic his voice she utters his own words back at him “I’ve also dabbled a bit in Destruction myself, please.” As he stands up, dawning the bloodied gloves once again. “It’s gross.” A smirk almost as stupid as his grin prior appears. 

“Well Ceri, that’s not nice to say about your professor. Respect your elders, she seems far from gross.” 

Ugh her brother strived to find the balance between charming and insufferable, something he was normally good at. Being naturally social had its benefits. Everyone could appreciate a good joke and if they couldn’t, well then he had no reason to bother with them further. Now however, knowing he had an interest in her mentor, the woman who had graciously taken her under her wing, makes her more annoyed than anything.

“You, you’re gross.” Briefly, her hands flex, forgetting she has already thrown the glove at him. “And she’s too old for you.” 

“Oh I wouldn’t say that, how old is she?” Brow raised in curiosity, the younger answers him before it occurs to he should not be given such details. 

“She’s one-hundred twenty something, don’t remember exactly.” 

“Oh we’re fine, less than a century apart. Barely noticeable even.” The gap between her and Ralos was barely noticeable, two years; Ninety-odd years was definitely something to take note of. But unfortunately this checked out for her brother, perhaps she can introduce him to someone else, maybe the bard at The Frozen Hearth. He had long, shiny, blonde hair. Very within his type.

“That’s a pretty large gap, Arthano.” He shrugs. 

“Well, Mother and Ata are what? One-hundred? One-hundred ten years apart? I’m doing well comparatively.” She stutters, trying to find the right words to shut him up, he is however, too quick for her. “Why is she a war criminal?” 

“What? No, absolutely not.” The College was a neutral organization, both faculty and students coming from across Tamriel for the purposes of advancing magical study. Conflicts were left at the gates, to imply anything different was a lie. But he’s not implying anything about the College, rather making a further comparison to their parents.  

"So I'm actually doing great."

“I should lock you in my dorm tonight and let you starve.”

DADDY ECLIPSE AU!?!?!?

i need a better name oml

Overall Explanation 

So basically, Eclipse and his three kids (Bloodmoon, Lunar, and Solarflare) (don't ask who got him pregnant) move to the suburbs for a better life. Though, they have to fit in with the rich suburbs standards so they don’t get casted out and burned like a witch.

Kids

Bloodmoon is the oldest. I had to change some things about him so he wasn’t suffering here. He wears contacts because of how messed up his eyes are. He can still see, it’s just harder and they have to fit in. He’s still violent, he just doesn’t crave blood. He takes out most of his aggression on the football team and his siblings (he beats them up) (not breaking their arms like that one ep BUT like how normal siblings fight). He’s not school smart but he is street smart (he can’t do division).

Lunar is the middle child but sadly he’s the shortest (4’11). Lunar’s a big nerd, not with numbers but with video games. He’s in the video game club (it has like 3 members) (ddlc type club lmao). He’s the one that’s the most picked on because of how nerdy and big backed he is. Speaking of being a hungry hippo, he’s favorite snacks are chips ahoy and scooby snacks. He’s a witch about how he pulls them out of thin air. 

Solarflare is the youngest but taller than Lunar. He takes more after his father with his looks and also his actions. He rarely gets bullied by his siblings because he always comes up with the wildest comebacks. He’s extremely smart yet certain things he’s extremely stupid at (he can’t pronounce intelligent but he says it all the time) (he says “in-telli-bent”) But since he’s still an 11 year old, he loves childlike things. He has a little board in his room where he can draw with markers and he carries a big coloring book when he goes out.

FC (Fliex Cruz) (Yes I gave him a real name, he’s NOT gonna be named “Foxy’s Child" on MY WATCH) is Lunar’s age. They’re in most of the same classes and in the same club, they’re kind of frenemies. They have each other’s back but they still rival against each other in everything else. His biological parent isn’t Puppet (unless yall want that because idk rather to do that or not) (don’t ask who got Foxy pregnant) though he still treats her like his biological parent. Yes, he’s also taller than Lunar. 

Jack is in Bloodmoon’s classes and doesn’t rival anyone but his uncle. He’s a chill dude for the most part. He still has his speech impediment and he’s still silly. Matter of fact, he’s still the same except for the fact that he’s also friends with Solarflare. Bro might be perfect.

Dazzle is in Solarflare’s classes. She’s not that good friends with him but it’s more like how cousins treat each other. You probably won’t see each other often but you still got each other's back. Yes they’re actually cousins here but they don’t know it lmao. Anyways, just like Jack, Dazzle still acts the same. She’s literally perfect. I love her.

Other TSBS Kids are blank for now. I have no ideas for them since I don’t watch the other shows often enough but they're going to be in here! Give me ideas for them PLEASE or I will explode. Don’t worry, I’ll also watch and read up about them!

Parents

Eclipse starts out as version 1 Eclipse but through this crazy thing called character development, he acts more like version 4 or whatever version we have now (i cant keep track of his deaths). He is very blunt and he speaks his mind, often thinking he’s the smartest in the room. He goes based on logic rather than heart. For example, let’s say Bloodmoon puts someone in the hospital. The person hit first but their hospital stay is most likely 6 months. The school wants to suspend him and the mother wants to sue but Eclipse takes Bloodmoon side because “If you don’t want the smoke, don’t start the fire.”. He does care for his kids but he just doesn’t know how to be a father.

Puppet is still the same for the most part. Bro is perfect. She’s the main person helping Eclipse be better but not to replace Solar since she hasn’t met him yet or any other theories. Simply for the kid’s sake. Here, she acts like a motherly figure to all kids. (she loves babying bloodmoon lmao). Though she can come up with wild insults.

Foxy still acts remotely the same except for the fact that he’s actually present (lemme stop roasting the canon lmao). Though, he is now married to the Puppet and has been like that for 5 years (que fireworks for treasurebox fans). Similar to Puppet, Foxy also ends up accidentally being fatherly towards most kids he meets too. He’s just the suburban way I guess.

Sun doesn’t really show up much since he has a history with Eclipse. Not the exact same as the canon but Eclipse was still tryna box him and Moon. He still acts the same though he did adopt Dazzle here (fireworks for ppl who love the sun and dazzle father-daughter dynamic). He doesn’t know that Dazzle and Jack are hanging out with Eclipse’s kids so he’ll probably pull up when he finds that out.

Solar still acts the same, basically the same as Sun. Him and the rest of the canon main cast will show up eventually though!

Other TSBS Parents are blank for now. I have no ideas for them since I don’t watch the other shows often enough but they're going to be in here! Give me ideas for them PLEASE or I will explode. Don’t worry, I’ll also watch and read up about them!

Other Adults

Moon still acts the same though I’m making him a middle school science teacher for middle school. He’s gonna be that cool science teacher that makes stuff explode and asks you not to tell your parents.

Earth still acts the same though she’s the elementary school guidance counselor and a bit of a helper. She’s not the annoying ones that tell you your “I feel statements”, she’ll actually help Solarflare express his feelings in a nicer way (he literally insults people on accident).Other Characters will be added such as ocs (as teachers, principles, bosses, etc) and other TSBS characters once I figure out what to do with them! I have an idea for Miku, to be a love interest for Eclipse at work but it’s more like Amy and Sonic.

BANNERS ARE MY OWN ARTWORK

[captain-angler]

am curious abt what was ur first idea for lobter dude. were they originally supposed to be a merguy? 🤔 ps love ur artstyle its so silly, that lineart is 😩

Thank you! Lineart is my fav part to do

As for Omar, yes his first concept was and always has been a merman. My idea back when I created him was a “reversed Little Mermaid” where he’s forced to live on land, can’t return to water, and absolutely loathes living up here. This still holds true

Then I made him a thief because he would need a reason why he can’t return home, so I made him a fugitive. Plus the idea of some dude grabbing your wallet only to run away and jump inside water cuz he knows you can’t follow him in there is funny to imagine. That and I like characters who act like assholes lmao

The lobster motif I slapped onto him because it’s my favorite animal, plus I thought it’d be ironic because of Omar’s lack of strength when lobsters have powerful ass claws that can break a man’s pinky finger

And then I made him russian because the russian word for lobster is his literal name, Омар.

Here’s the first drawings I ever did of him back in 2021. He used to wear a horseshoe crab as a hat and I had no idea how to make this stupid man’s hair look like lol

[poscariastri]

hi, previous anon back - I'm so glad I could make your day!!! I've been chewing on that art for the better part of a week now and decided you should know how much I love it :]

lowkey I'm mildly scared to drop a dm given the fact that like. I don't have an f1 blog or sideblog and I don't really intend on making one rn haha (most of what I know of f1 is against my will and I've imprinted on lance LOL)

oooo piastroll is also good! I've always called it osclance in my head haha but I think your idea flows better - and YES their numbers are so good together <3 reverses and nines and squares and all that, man they have such nice numbers...

I have. never seen that nando jesus pic. I'm saving it rn that's amazing. something something, jesus rose on the third day, nando came back to f1 after three years, wonderful parallels there... and the aston martin wings... oh I am DEEPLY abnormal about those wings...!!! awww teeny tiny mini nando jesus on the globe (I think) being all radiant <3

oh I LOVE those concept sketches... oscar wants another home race... the fisheye perspective is really good and I love it sm! and lance's stupid facial hair (beloved) and that panel with the two of them like in a romcom meet-cute where oscar Knows His Next Move and lance very much Does Not... and then the next one with PASTOR NANDO I AM CRYING. THAT MAN SEEMS LIKE HE'S EXCITED TO MARRY OFF HIS YOUNG PADAWAN LMAOOOO (he probably threatened oscar at least five times that if he finds lance crying it's on sight) (but also would take shots with both of them at the reception)

and yes I'll 100% accept rent in the form of more oscar and lancey (though obviously you don't have to if you're not feeling it!)

HI anon! thank you again im so glad you enjoy that silly art so much! you ofc dont have to DM if u dont want to no pressure (saluting face emoji (im on pc))

as a tribute to you and your wonderful askbox rambles i came up with another doodle! not as much effort in this one but i thought of it at 3 am and immediately had to draw it (i. did not get a lot of sleep) hope you like it!

theyre badly cropped bc again im on pc and tumblr pc hates me (its mutual) and somehow i never manage to draw in the right size for the canvas lmaoo but here TAKE IT AND RUN!!

I know you are not taking blurb requests but I would really really love it if you wrote one about pfms matty taking care of reader during exam season because I know she is a studious gal. “Study dress babe? Let me ✨alleviate it✨” “you’ve been working so hard” all that,,, can you tell that I’m reader 😁😁 If I pass I’ll credit u for sure

i think it’s too late to help you pass but still

she bites at her nails, flicks her eyes between her books and her notes, desperately tries to understand the complex science jargon she’s dutifully transcribed without getting. there’s pink, square letters on the lines; a collection of bulletpoints and highlights and pretty drawings. it’s unintelligible to her.

worry starts to rise in her chest. she feels it near her heart, beating alongside it, racing it. tears prickle at her eyes as she bites her finger beds raw, chews at the skin until it tastes metallic. she swears, wiping away the blood, moaning in pain.

a knock on the window. she stands, opening it to find matty grinning at her. he dips in and gives her a sweet kiss.

‘we can’t see each other today.’ she shakes her head as matty steps inside her room. ‘i have an exam coming up. i need to study.’

‘it’s saturday,’ matty says, like she was a bit silly. ‘live a little.’

again, she shakes her head. ‘i’m really not getting it. it’s— shit, it’s actually hard.’ she gives him a warning look, silently stopping him from saying whatever stupid quip he’s thinking.

‘you sound stressed,’ matty says, frowning.

‘i am.’

‘how about i help with that?’ a faint, cheeky smile shines on his face, hidden under the guise of seriousness. she gives him a look, unimpressed. ‘i meant studying,’ matty raises both his hands innocently.

‘sure you did.’

‘c’mon, let me see,’ matty sits at her desk, peering over her notes. ‘ouch.’

‘yeah.’ a small, pained moan comes from the back of her throat. she falls over her bed quite dramatically, spreading her arms in abandon. ‘my parents will kill me.’

‘they won’t,’ matty waves away, flipping a page.

‘no, they will. quite brutally, even. is the iron maiden still legal?’

‘god, you’re dark,’ matty says almost proudly. ‘and they won’t kill you because you won’t fail. alright. why can the ionization of atoms occur during photoelectron spectroscopy, even though ionization is not a thermodynamically favored process?’ matty looks up at her. ‘oh, we will be here all night.’

and they are, falling asleep clutching flash cards and notes, chemistry elements slack on their tongues. they wake up fully dressed, over the sheets, awkwardly tucked around each other.

she blinks awake, blushing as she notices matty. it’s the first time he’s fallen asleep here, and it’s not even for a dirty reason. there’s a strange feeling coming with that idea. she unwraps her arms around his middle, freeing him, taking her head off his shoulder.

matty makes a small, tired noise. ‘i feel my hand again,’ he says, moving his fingers.

‘you could have moved me,’ she accuses, now feeling terrible for his discomfort.

‘nah. i liked having you close.’ matty rolls on his side, watching her with a smile. ‘you’re cute when you sleep.’

‘oh, god. i hope i didn’t drool.’

‘just a little.’

‘matty!’ she whines. she shoves her face into her palms with a shamed groan.

‘what? i’ve seen worse.’ he tugs at her hand, coaxing her out.

she emerges from them still vaguely embarrassed. ‘thank you for helping me study,’ she whispers.

‘you’re welcome.’ he kisses her cheek, then the other, bending away just enough to stare at her. his eyes dip to her parted lips. ‘now can i help you the other way?’

she reddens, a low thrum of excitement coming up her spine. ‘yes,’ she breathes, looking away bashfully.

matty grins widely. he makes to catch her lips, but she turns her head. ‘morning breath,’ she explains. he shakes his head, but kisses down her neck instead.

matty rolls her on her back, uncovering her evening clothes one by one. she breathes quicker, watching him, trying to make even less noise. her parents are right next door, surely awake.

he licks down her belly, flipping her skirt, before sucking on her clit through her underwear. she jumps, spreading her legs wider, tugging at her own panties to try taking them off. matty listens, laughing as he drags them off her thighs, coming back happy.

he zigzags across her wet core, just missing the parts where she wants him the most. his hands keep her in place, teasing her until she’s dripping on the sheets.

‘matty,’ she whispers. ‘please.’

‘so polite,’ matty taunts, though gives in to her still.

his lips wrap around her bud and he sucks, flicking it a few times. his fingers thrust into her. he follows the familiar, known rhythm, one that has her kicking in bed and tugging vengefully at his hair in no time. she slaps one hand over her mouth, breathing twice as hard to compensate.

pleasure razes through her, hot, white euphoria waving building inside her belly. she feels an indescribable heat. her sweaty hair sticks to her forehead in answer.

pressure grows inside of her, tightening and tightening until she’s so tense she could crack.

she whispers his name, though it’s smothered by her palm. matty seems to hear it still, garbled and muffled, and he licks her with twice the devotion.

sunlight shines on her naked breasts. she pants, giggling to herself, always in disbelief that she’s almost coming until she’s there, she’s right—

‘honey,’ her father knocks at her door. she jumps, opening her eyes wide. ‘are you getting ready? we leave for church soon.’

‘oh, um—‘ matty fucks his fingers faster. ‘yeah, i’m almost there—‘ she bites back a scream, rolling her eyes.

‘ok. we’ll wait for you downstairs.’

as soon as his steps disappear down the hallway, she finally breaks, coming with a killed cry. the tight strings snap and delicious relief spreads through her, relaxing each limb until she’s slack on her bones. she grins loosely, feeling her head sing.

matty kisses her bud, coming up her body with a grin. ‘you’ve got church,’ he says, cheeky.

‘i do.’ she cups both his cheeks, still shortwinded. ‘will i see you there?’

‘if i can’t help it,’ matty sighs dramatically.

she gives him a small, teasing smirk. ‘maybe i can return the favor there.’

he is suddenly deadly serious. ‘i will be there.’

she giggles, giving him a small smack of lips, pushing him away when he tries to part his mouth. ‘morning breath,’ she reminds him.

already dressed from a fitful sleep, matty puts on his shoes and opens the window. she sits in bed, truly loose and relaxed. ‘thanks for the help,’ she smiles.

he throws a leg over the window sill. he winks. ‘any time.’

Hello, welcome to my apology wherein I explain my stupidities of a simple mistake.

When I made the post currently being reblogged, I was exhausted, had eaten barely anything all day and was unable to sleep. In this, I saw a history post on Tumblr. In my sleep-addled state (for we all have those!) I mistakenly linked some quirky historical moments that occurred in the 1600s, to the medieval period. I am very passionate about this era of history, and wished to share some of it here, giving little memory to basic periodisation info.

I realised as soon as I got some actual sleep what I had done and went to correct it, deleting the original post in favour of not being harassed by people reblogging an innocent mistake.

I can take a joke, laugh at my own stupidity, which I did for some time! Checking the reblogs was a surprise. I expected to be teased, face palms to be expressed. I got that, plenty of it. Some of you were lovely and polite, gently explaining/reminding me and commenting that my confusion also was a nice idea, so thank you.

What saddens me was the insulting of me as a person. Comments such as "God, kill them" are not, and should not, be tolerated. Funnily enough, people are behind the screen, and I can see what you say. Yes, it's a quick laugh, I don't deny it was stupid, but I think some of it went too far :)

Thank you to those of you who apologised, thank you for having the decency. Thank you to those who defended my sleep-heavy thoughts with kindnesses, they are not forgotten.

I like to keep my blog happy, but if you are tagging for someone who made an innocent mistake to "die" then that warrants drawing attention to, not just for me, but for everyone's safety online. I will also address the fact that I am not American, and that all peoples of all countries make mistakes :)

So I guess thank you for coming to my TedTalk😂remember always to sleep well and eat something before making a commnt, or you might end up making a youtube-worthy apology post😅

I won't say anymore on the matter, I like to forgive and I hope I have yours for the silly mistake.

Bye :)

[snailvine]

as for your question “will there be emotions?”

….yes. lots of them. lots of good ones, lots of bad ones. enough emotions that if i think too hard about them i start to tear up ouhhhhh…

…

ANYWAYS im happy you like them so much! and thanks for asking questions! i like them too :)

Least interesting part of some unknown Wordgirl lore to you? Or what you don't really have an eagerness to explore while others do? For me, while I like Tobey's character, I don't get the whole needing to always talk about his dad or giving him a dad.

That's tough since I like the vagueness and stupid silliness to invent unknown Wordgirl lore or to look at the implications within the show to piece lore. So I don't find certain things boring or uninteresting on that front.

Cause yes, believe it or not, I do care about things in Wordgirl that is not just (The Botsfords, Tobecky, The McCallisters, the Woodview kids, my AU, Professor Tubing, Tjohnson). I really like other aspects. I SWEAR I LOVE THE VILLAINS I JUST DONT DO MUCH WITH THEM CAUSE THE IDEAS I HAVE ARE LIKE BEYOND CANON AND THEY'RE OLD, AND EVERYONE ALREADY IN THE FANDOM HAS SUCH BANGER ART AND HEACNONS FOR THEM PLUS THEY'RE HARD TO DRAW OKAY. BUT I PROMMY I LOVE THE VILLAINS.

So, no, not really. I don't have an answer to this question. Thanks a ton for the ask, tho!! They're always appreciated.

And haha, that's understandable with Tobey. Not everyone is gonna care about popular villain backstory hcs, but I feel called out since I'm the number one who "Makes Tobey's dad/family important to Wordgirl lore" LMAO. Like I have Theodore McCallister II full backstory 1080p 4k in my brain most days, and yes, I have invested a lot of time to the McCallister family tree in general. Same with the Botsfords and Wordgirl's bio parents (especially these two).

But don't worry, we can at least agree on the giving him a dad thing. As cute as Two-brain’s father figure is, in my mind those two would not have a functional father son dynamic (my feelings on parental DTB is so funny and complicated, and I have that man be a father in future AU hehe). The closest he'll get is with probably Tim, but mostly as the best older male influence he has, and he appreciates and respects as Tim would never look down at him. (Also yeah Father-in-law possibilities I SWEAR I CAN GO ONE POST WITHOUT BRINING UP TOBECKY--). However, to me, I have always loved the idea that Tobey doesn't need a father after the failure of his first one. Yes, his issues, probable loneliness, and a need for people to never ignore him stem a lot from his mysterious, absent father. But, to me I feel like that doesn't mean Tobey should need a dad to make it up for that, because if anything I think the real compelling and complicated relationship he would focus on is with his mom. To me, he's got more mommy issues than daddy issues in canon. Tobey should care more about his relationship with his mom than to a father who isn't there. Maybe I'm just too much on my Tobey is influenced a lot by the female figures of his life brainrot of my feminist analysis of his character, but I don't think Tobey would care or want a father to feel emotionally complete or that he's not broken anymore. A lot of kids grow up without fathers, and they don't need one to be accepted by society. Yes, some do find someone who will fill that role, that in itself is respectable, and I do find it cute with the Tobey father figure candidates. But, I do find it more interesting if there was a rejection for such a connection from Tobey. You don't see that often in stories with characters raised by one parent. And I'm fascinated.

[notsofriendlyfriendlyreminder]

do you guys think that after a bad robbery that really left arthur fucked up he was embarrased to go to camp because dutch and hosea told him it was a bad idea to go to that house because the guy shoots deer for fun yes he is mad rich but also don't be dumb arthur but he is a bit silly especially young arthur but now he was shot by the side and it missed the organs but fuck it stings and its the middle of the night so well there is only one other option and so the bleeding gunslinger shows up at marys door like i am so sorry i know its an ungodly hour but hosea and dutch will yell at me :(

and mary is whisper yelling at him because they were right and you are so stupid but so lucky that my parents are out of town- shut up jamie is asleep and stop wincing and cursing while i clean up your wound you will wake him up and of course she has the stuff to take care of his wound because sometimes she sleeps badly and overthinks what if something went wrong and arthur is lying somewhere dead

what if he dies

what if this dumb criminal who gives me drawings of ducks and flowers who is tied up with his stupid life and his stupider decisions to stay with the gang dies and she never finds out

what if this dumb criminal i love leaves me

and then you are the one to leave him

you are the one who cuts the ties because jesus youre a woman with no rights a drunkard of a father a dead mother and a small brother how can i runaway they need me and goddamit i will mary maybe its not true love but he will treat me right and after he dies i meet the criminal again

and she begs and begs and begs

and he promises

and then again for weeks you dont hear from him

and once again you have to leave him

you have to be the one to write the last letter be the one to sent back the ring and why does it have to be me to cut you off why do i have to be the one to break the last piece when you broke my heart so many times

i read the newspapers everyday still

maybe the one who died wasnt you

maybe it was all one of your schemes to run away from me and the life we could have had

maybe ill read about you robbing another bank or a stagecoach or a train you told me stories of all of it

i still send letters to tacitus kilgore

The Reluctance of Love Pt. 25

Look who's baaaaaccccckkkk.

I've written a few chapters ahead so that it will hopefully help me to stay on top of this story and not fall behind....again.

But life loves to be silly and change our plans, so let's hope we can stay consistent this time.

Orc Male x Half-Elf Male, Fated Mates, Forbidden Love, Slow Burn Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 Content Warnings: unhealthy parent dynamics All orcish is from orcishdictionary.com, created by Matt Vancil.

Altan POV

I looked back down at my breakfast and was resigned to starve. I had no appetite. Not since I woke up with the vial missing. My hand consistently reached for my chest to hold it and found nothing there, leaving me feeling hollow and heavy inside. Where had I misplaced it? My father had insisted I bathe and change last night after our conversation, and I took great care to place it where it wouldn’t get lost.

I wasn’t stupid enough to not suspect my father, especially seeing how pleased he was this morning. This playing nice was all some sort of act, but I also didn’t doubt that the Lady of Triel was a means to handle our - or should I say his - debts. I wouldn’t abandon my brothers so carelessly. I would do what I needed to, to satisfy the masses and then if the gods be willing, I would disappear and I would find Drunrag

Which meant I needed that vial.

But even without the vial, I had to trust that he was still alive. I would know, wouldn’t I? I would feel something change in me if he were gone? But he and I weren’t connected anymore, maybe I was being dramatic for thinking there was something still holding him to me. I ran my hand through my hair and siged. My mind was racing too fast to keep up.

“You are not feeling well?” My father asked from across the table.

I looked up and met his eyes. I couldn’t read him. Was it truly concern I was reading in his voice? Or was there an edge to it?

I stuttered to speak, “I-I…I’m not feeling totally myself this morning.” I admitted. “Perhaps I should get some fresh air?”

My father was silent as he in turn studied me, read me. It seemed we were both still playing the game of guessing who was a step in front of whom.

“We’ll be leaving to return to Berdusk shortly, the Duke and Lady Allara are waiting for us.”

“Isn’t Berdusk days away?” I asked, before realizing that I actually had no idea where we were.

My father’s mouth tweaked at my question, “You recall how you came here through a portal, yes?”

I gave him a curt nod, “Yes, yes I remember. Then let’s just skip the meal and be done.” I pushed the food away from me and folded my arms indignantly. I was ready to be out of my father’s direct gaze.

He waited to answer before giving a short nod. “Very well. I will inform the hunters.”

“How is it that the Hunters work for you?” I asked. I knew it was unlikely that I would get an honest answer, but I had to at least try.

“The Hunters and I have a common goal, or shall I say, a common enemy.” He said, he dabbed a napkin across his lips before rising to his feet. “As long as our goals remain the same, we hold a partnership with each other that requires no monetary cost.”

“I see.” I said. 

“Shall we, then?” He asked, gesturing to the door out of the kitchen.

I said nothing, but led us out through the door. I spared a glance down to see if I caught the vial on my father’s person, but as I suspected, it would not be so easy to find.

“Looking for something?” My father asked. His eyes were narrowed.

I met them with a vacant expression. “Nothing of real interest.”

We followed the path back down the stairs to the underground maze of caverns and tunnels. It was confusing, and we were met with a cloaked Hunter who led us through in torchlight to the same large cavernous room. There were a trio of Hunters already in the room, drawing symbols within a circle on the ground. 

We watched silently as the portal opened like a maw in the middle of the air, centered above the magic ring. The space within was blurred and unfocused and shimmered like water, but revealing a landscape much different than the current dank room we were in.. It was a curious form of magic, but also fascinating. 

My father once again let me take the lead and I stepped through with him behind me. I felt a rush of vertigo that time and I forced my eyes shut as I waited for the sensation to pass. When I opened my eyes, we were standing in the Great Hall of Berdusk.

“Easy enough.” My father announced, smiling congenially as the portal winked closed behind us.

Business resumed almost immediately and a guard rushed towards us from the edge of the room. “Your Grace, a message for you.”

It was nothing more than a scrap of paper. I tried to read from the corner of my eye, I had only the chance to read a few words before my father slipped the paper into his robes.

Your Commander is not loyal. 

“Hmmm, a beautiful morning indeed.” My father breathed out. He looked down at me with a grim smile, “Shall we go meet your fiance?”

“I’d actually like to freshen up first.” I said, before clearing my throat, “I…I’d like to be looking my best.”

He nodded, “Of course. On your way, then, try to be quick, son.”

I bowed my head solemnly. “I know what is expected of me.” I turned and began the descent down the stairs and out of the room. 

As I stepped out I quickened my pace and raced towards my quarters, but not before a hand grabbed me and pulled me into a small hallway.

“What are you doing here?” Selhar’s face was panic-stricken and frantic. “Where is he?”

“Selhar?” I asked. “What’s going on?”

He shook his head, “No, you’re not supposed to be back here. He promised me he would keep you safe.”

“You’re not making any sense.” I said, and I grabbed his shoulders, trying to still his shaking body. “Selhar, what are you talking about?”

“Your…your partner. The orc. He promised me that he would try to keep you safe. I believed him. Why are you back?” 

I had never seen such extreme emotion on his face in a long time. Not since our mother’s passing, and I felt the jump in my own heartbeat as I looked back at him. “He…He’s.” I sighed. “I don’t know where he is, Selhar. I think father has him.”

“Where?” 

I shook my head. “I don’t know.”

“I hate him.” Selhar said, his voice came out like a hiss. “I hate him so much.”

The hallway was somber as I let my brother’s words hang between us. My mother and I had failed to protect him from the cruelties of Duke Hilmar, and the guilt that I didn’t even know what my brother had been going through suddenly overwhelmed me. This wasn’t just about me and Drun. This conflict ran much, much deeper.

“Listen, Selhar.” My voice was soft, “I’m not giving up yet.”

He shook his head,  “But he’s brought you back here twice. You won’t be able to leave now.”

I nodded, “I know. But maybe you can help me?”

His eyes widened. “How?”

“I need you to get in touch with Commander Gideon. Tell him that father suspects him of treason. If he can, I need to meet with him as soon as possible.”

“Is that all?” He asked.

I thought for a moment, then continued. “I think father has something that belongs to me. A glass vial with red liquid inside. If you can find it somehow, I need that back. And don’t let the Duke find out.”

He nodded, a small wry smile formed on his face. “I’m the middle child, Altan, father doesn’t pay attention to me unless he’s mad at me. It will be easy.”

“He’s waiting for me. I have to meet my…fiance” We both grimaced at that. “I’ll find you after that.”

He nodded and turned to go.

“Selhar.” I said as he was about to leave. “I’m sorry for whatever he’s done to you.”

He shook his head, “It doesn’t matter if we’re able to stop him.” And then he turned to go. 

There were a set of guards outside my room as I approached it. I felt the small pit in my stomach tighten as I approached them. 

“I assume you were sent by my father?”

They nodded. 

I rolled my eyes and forced my most petulant voice.. “I won’t meet with anyone until I am clean from my travels. Would you be kind enough to get someone to start my bath?”

“Young lord…” One of them began.

“Please.” I bemoaned. “And if I come out of here with you both still here, I’m reporting you to my father, he’s waiting on me, which means he’s waiting on you.”

I didn’t wait for an answer and strode into my room where everything was as exactly as I had left it. Strange to believe that it had not even been a week since I had left. So much had happened. I hoped my whining was good enough to get rid of the guards at my door. And I hoped that Commander Gideon would arrive in time for him to not be seen by them.

I paced, thinking over everything. 

This was what I knew at that point.

The first, that my father had an arrangement with the Red Hunters that meant they had a mutual goal that enabled them to work together so long as that mutual goal remained. I didn’t know what that goal was, but perhaps if I could find out what it was, I could use that to my advantage.

Secondly, I knew Drunrag was being held somewhere as leverage for me to obey and listen to my father and I also believed he possessed the vial as added leverage, but my father was holding that information from me until absolutely necessary should I misbehave again.

Third, there were spies within the Great Hall who had informed my father of Commander Gideon as an enemy to my father’s goals. I wasn’t certain if these spies were part of the deal with the Red Hunters, or separate, but it was important to note that I couldn’t trust anyone at this point besides Gideon, Doxxah, and Selhar.

Lastly, a portion of my father’s debt relied on me uniting with Lady Allara. The consequences of not doing so were unclear, and I also didn’t know if it played into the arrangement with the Red Hunters. But I could only hope that it was the case, since all of the details seemed so close together.

I didn’t know how to connect all of the details yet. I was never the most clever, though the gods know I tried to be. I only knew that I had multiple things I needed to see happen before Drunrag and I could be together again.

The first, was to prevent Commander Gideon from being arrested or blamed for treason and perhaps reveal the moles within the guards’ ranks. He was my greatest asset and ally with influence and rank.

Second, my arranged marriage had to be stopped and if I was lucky, I could incite problems with deals my father has with the Red Hunters that would help with my third, and perhaps most important goal which was to stop whatever other plans my father has. I needed to prevent him from ever doing something like this ever again. Perhaps it was time the Hilmar name faced the consequences and no longer be in power.

I was deep in thought when I heard a knock at the door.

My heart leapt the same time I sprung to my feet and raced for the door. I cracked it open and let out a breath when I saw the towering figure of Commander Gideon . There was no sign of anyone else.

“Quick. Inside.” I said and released the door.

The Commander slid into the room, an impassive look on his face. I was about to close the door when Selhar grabbed the door and followed in. “Not without me.” He said quietly, but the determination in his voice was not to be dismissed.

“Did anyone see you?” I asked.

They both shook their heads.

“We don’t have much time. My father is about to have guards on me again and I don’t know if we’ll have another chance like this.”

“I understand the Duke has marked me as untrustworthy.” Gideon said. “Much gratitude to you for warning me. I am in your debt.”

I bowed my head, “You are my ally, and selfishly I must admit I cannot do this without you.” I turned to Selhar, “Either of you.”

“Where is the young orc?” The Commander asked.

“Somewhere imprisoned by my father. I believe with the Red Hunters? I do not know the location, only that is resides underground.”

“Red Hunters?” The Commander and Selhar exchanged glances at one another, eyes wide. “Gods helps us.”

“Commander, I believe you need to disappear before you are intercepted by the Duke.” It was unfamiliar to me to be so commanding to another, but the commander eye’s were locked with me, listening intently. “I don’t know what I’m doing, so I trust you to guide me.”

“Ask me what you wish, young lord and it will be so.”

Selhar nodded, “And me.”

I looked between them and let out a sigh. “If I only I knew.”

“Do you have a plan?” Selhar asked.

“Only the beginnings of one.” I said. “I don’t know if it will work. But it’s the only plan I have left.”

[lmk-oc-competition]

Hello. I am a contestant. Can I make a promotion «propaganda» for another contestant? I didn't find it in the rules (maybe because it's stupid to do a propoganda to your opponent, but I would like to-)

Also, while I'm here- I have a lot of question about propoganda.

What exactly is considered «propaganda»? Does a post about oc, but without a drawing considered as «propaganda»? How good does a drawing have to be to be considered? Does a doodle/sketch on scrap of paper considered? How often can person propagate? Is there a limitation? Like: «One propaganda every two days»? Aren't you afraid of spam that propaganda can cause?

Sorry, if there are answers to my questions on the website. I read the website, but I didn't find the answers.

Hello!! Yes, you can make propaganda for another contestant!

As for your other questions

Propaganda is a way to encourage people to show support to an OC. It doesn't have to include drawings! Propaganda can also range from infodumps, fics, memes, and for example "reasons you should vote for my oc: they're just a silly lil guy!"

For submitting propaganda, all you gotta do is tag this blog. Any drawing from a simple little sketch to a fully rendered piece will be reblogged as propaganda as long as they don't violate any rules.

There is no limit to propaganda! Be free and go wild! I've got a good idea of what to expect and how to handle things from our first competition. If there's a really big surge of propaganda then I'll utilize tumblr's lovely queuing option. You'll know that I saw your post even if I haven't reblogged it yet because I'll like the post from my main @starzdeath

I'll go double check the website and update any information there if needed. I think I might have touched on propaganda in the FAQs section but I could be wrong! Thanks for asking ^^
