Your cycle consumes itself. What have you become?

(ˡᵒʳᵉ ᵈᵘᵐᵖ ᵇᵉˡᵒʷ ᶜᵘᵗ)

SO THIS IS MY INV VS SAINT AU!! It started as a shitpost and uh. Spiralled. Out of control. And now it’s genuine lol.

Enot and Saint are basically mortal enemies, and Saint needs to get Enot OUT OF THE CYCLES in order to continue his work, because this damn horny bastard won’t stop hunting him down…for some reason. Isn’t ascension the greatest gift you can bestow upon the creatures suffering in this barren wasteland? At least Saint thinks that. Inv, on the other hand, does not.

Enot stumbles upon Pebbles while passing through the silent construct, trying to find food one day. He takes a liking to this half-dead pink toaster, bringing him scraps of fabric as blankets and lanterns, and the best part…talking to him. Inv, somehow, can talk to iterators. And despite Pebbles’ very limited ability to reply, he does appreciate the company, and slowly the cycles become less agonizing. Pebbles has a friend. However, when Saint finds him, his immediate reaction is to attempt to ascend him—and he is tackled by a very angry slugcat, hissing and spitting at him in defence of its friend.

When Saint attempts to ascend him, he misses, just barely clipping Enot’s tail and glitching him half-out of reality. He then realizes, to his horror, that his karma seems to be draining. Whatever the hell this thing is, it’s dangerous, and Saint retreats to restore his karma (and heal some of the nasty wounds Enot gave him).

Inv turns back to see Pebbles, staring at him in pure fear, before he simply whispers out a “Thank…you…”. And that’s when Inv makes it his mission to save Pebbles (and everyone else) from Saint.

This leads to Inv running around the map, hot on Saint’s heels, trying to get any and all the iterators to figure out a way to get off their damn strings and LIVE again! Most of them are collapsed or semi-collapsed, so it’ll be an uphill battle, but when a glitchy, teleporting slugcat with the ability to speak tells you to do something…you’d be kinda inclined to do it.

Anyways the reason Enot can’t be ascended is because he is happy to give in to every single one of the great taboos. Wrath, Lust, Friendship, Gluttony, and Self Preservation. He revels in them. And if he can help the others experience them, and become happy with living again, they’ll be immune too! Also he is ridiculously OP to the point of him basically just having DevTools active because I think it’s Funny. He can glitch-teleport and drains the karma of beings around him. He also talks super casually and I think it’s funny.

A little bit of their dynamic hehe:

“Hey, pal!”

“I would like you to stop calling me that, please. You may call me the Saint.”

“Ahah. Not happening.”

“You are incredibly disrespectful.”

“Hey man, I’m not the one calling myself a saint but then running around killing shit and acting like it’s a good thing.”

“You use such vulgar words. I ascend beings, freeing them from the torment of these endless cycles. It is my purpose.”

“Even the ones who don’t want to go? Bro, you don’t even ask. The last robot you almost merked was screaming “no wait” at you, and you still think you’re in the right here? You’re not some kind of righteous saint, that’s called being a fuckin’ serial killer.”

“You do not understand what you are talking about!”

“Whoa, buddy! Are you gettin’ mad? Ain’t that…a lil taboo? PFFT look at your face!”

“I am not tolerating this any longer. Goodbye.”

That’s all I can think of rn! Send asks if you like!

Possibly the best aspect of writing Halsin so far has been the whiplash between the calm, caring druid, and the bear impulses that want violence towards perceived threats to his own. The guy who's kissing ouchies better on little kids' scraped knees is also talking himself down from mauling the freak in the corner that smells like poison and is eyeing him like prey in his own home.

Imma say something.

Evil Test Tube fics are lame as fuck.

They don't even give her a reason as to why she's doing that! It's always "ohhhhh Test Tube experiments on her friends because it's fun or for science regardless of the consequences" or "she went crazy" or something and that fucking sucks

You could actually give her a reason. Make her reach a breaking point in which she thinks that it's the only way to save them or to fix something. Make her go through a downfall. Stop making the same mid shit all over again.

This applies to any Bright Lights darkfic btw.

I finished the graph of the Drawfee Cascada streak, so for any other numbers nerds:

(How to read it: The chart shows how long it has been since Drawfee last made an "every time" joke. For example, on September 28, they hadn't for 12 episodes.)

Here's the current graph of the Cats (2019) streak as well:

You can find links to view interactive versions of the charts (as well as the data spreadsheets) in my pinned post.

#I'm not sure exactly how reading charts works with alt text / accessibility but hopefully the interactive versions & spreadsheets-- #can help. but as always my ask box is open if you have any questions! #I love data <3 I probably won't keep up with these but consider it a sort of ''drawfee wrapped'' haha #not an episode count #<- new tag! #charts and data

black!siren!reader x leon kennedy

You had been singing all night. It was your favorite thing to do when you knew no one was awake and you could come up to your rock and sing your heart out.

But what you didn’t know was that someone recently moved into that usually vacant beach house.

Leon was up… he couldnt sleep. it was one of those nights where his insomina caught up to him. Turning off his tv he could hear your voice from his home.

Was someone outside his house singing very early Christmas carols?

Walking onto his balcony to see what the hell was going on he saw you sitting on the rock. Your singing becoming even louder to his ears.

He could only see your glittery tail reflecting from the moonlight and you sat singing your hymn.

He was drawn to you immediately. putting on his sandals he made his way to the sand to see what and who you were.

Coming close the water he stopped in his tracks. Seening your figure enhanced by my moon. Your curly hair decorated with pearls, brown skin adorned by your blue/green scales on parts of your arms. Your stomach holding a belly piercing as ur torso meshed into your tail.

Feeling a looming presence you stopped your singing you opened your eyes to see a human standing and staring at you. Your webbed ears shot up in fear as you quickly went back into the water scared he was going to harm you.

“shit I scared her” leon grumbled watching you go away in fear

“I dont mean to scare you. If you’re still out there please come back” he would say in desperation to see you

You wanted to go back up but you were petrified. Youve never seen a human up close and personal. going against your gut you decided to swim back up to meet the stranger.

Your head peaked from the water shyly. looking at him in his eyes.

“Hi there beautiful. Im Leon, thanks for coming back up” he said kneeling onto the sand to meet your eyes

You felt your cheeks heat up in embarrassment at his compliment.

“Hello…leon” you greeted nervously “Its late. why are you out here.”

“Couldn’t sleep. then I heard your pretty voice so I had to come and see”

You felt your tail flap at his deep voice serenading you. You wondered if he was a siren in disguise. He was handsome to say the least. his blond hair covering his cold blue eyes and his structured jaw catching your attention

“You’re gorgeous.” he would say breaking you out your thoughts

Sinking into the water trying to hide the way your cheeks went into a smile

“Its nice meeting you leon. But I have to go. Promise you wont tell anyone about me.” you pleaded

His heart clinched seeing you come out the water further revealing your upper body.

“I promise you sweetheart. This will be our secret.” he said getting up off his knees still making eye contact with you

Smiling you thanked him before splashing him teasingly with your tail.

Telling him goodnight as he watch you swim away tail still shining from the light of the moon.

*Ahem, as a diehard mlp fan

can we get Applejack and Rainbow Dash(Also tbh I feel like Fluttershy would 100% be sapphic and Twilight is for sure aro/ace haha, what do you think Pinkie would be ?/)

If someone wants to submit Rainbow Dash and Applejack, i'll probably accept them! They haven't been submitted to the sheet yet! For the other characters, since they are not confirmed and are just headcanons, I won't accept them on my blog. However, as a diehard mlp fan myself, I personally hc Flutters as sapphic and probably demi, Twi as biromantic ace, and Pinkie as pan!

Since you are the best researcher in the dirlie community, I thought I'd ask you.

Do we know whether Daniel is ambidextrous? I've seen him use both of his hands without any struggles. Thank you for your answer 💛

hi nonnie!! (im rlly not but 😳) ty for the kind words im super flattered!!

my sources (google search) are saying that daniel is right handed. in zandvoort 21 his car's right hand clutch paddle failed after formation lap. he had to use the left hand clutch (which if you're a right-handed driver you probably would've never had to) and almost wasn't able to start the car. i think his wording in the interview ("so if you're right handed") also confirms that he's not naturally ambidextrous.

p.s. clutch paddles (no. 13 in this graph) connect/disconnect engine power to wheels. the left and right paddles do the exact same thing. the car listens to whichever is pressed down more.

during standing start procedures, right handed f1 drivers usually fully press down the left paddle to completely disengage transmission, and press down right paddle to the desired percentage (say 40%) of engine power for launching the car. when lights go out, they release the left paddle and the car will instantly get 40% power.

p.s.s. this mechanical failure meant daniel had seconds between formation lap and lights out to figure out what even was wrong with the car and how to do a start with only one working clutch paddle. many thought he'd have to retire. it was impressive that he was able to start the race at all (losing only one position which he then quickly gained back). but afterwards daniel was like "i probably should've practiced left hand starts" "I'll practice a few more times" etc etc. just goes to show he was SO conditioned to putting all the blames on himself at that point, even if it was literally a car failure. fuck mclaren and every gaslighting cunt in that clown team 🪄🪄🪄 anyways.

NO GODS NO MASTERS // IM MY OWN DISASTER!!!

(ˡᵒʳᵉ ᵈᵘᵐᵖ ᵇᵉˡᵒʷ ᵗʰᵉ ᶜᵘᵗ)

This is from an au where Sig n Pebbles purposefully give themselves the rot while their citizens are still alive! >:D

Basically, imagine if Pebbles didn’t turn all his anger inwards towards himself and instead externalized it. Although Pebbles and Sig don’t get along all that well, Pebbles realized she was going to be the only one who could help him pull this off, since he is one of the local group’s best bioengineers…and also easy to convince to do stupid shit for the bit. So they make a virus that can rewrite their code, specifically removing the “cant harm your citizens” restriction, but they also got rid of any other taboos that they found tedious or annoying lmfao. Originally Pebbles was going to be the only one who gets infected, but after Sig works on it with him for like 1000 cycles, he’s like “I might as well reap the benefits of this!” and gives himself the rot too.

MOON AND SUNS FREAK OUT <3 Their citizens, once they realize what’s going on, ALSO freak out, and this causes a fracture in ancient society as a whole, with one camp claiming they should shut the iterators down completely and kill them, and the others immediately grovelling at their god’s feet, hoping they don’t choose to infect themselves as well. Sig n Pebbs are trying to get Moon n Suns to join them, but it’s not working very well. Between the growing fear that both their own citizens AND their friends are becoming threats to them, they are not having a good time :) Sig n Pebbs are tho hehe. Ironically they become better friends as time goes on because the rot creates a sort of hive mind effect between the two of them PFFT.

To sum it up:

Pebbles: Someone will die.

NSH: Of fun!

NSH: …someones still gonna die, though ~

and to leave you with a silly little horrifying detail: sig breaks his neck in a physical fight with suns and by the point this happens the rot has essentially destroyed his body’s ability to heal, so for the rest of the story her head just. dangles slightly to the side held up only by the cushion of her scarf LOL combined with the thousand yard stare she looks a mess

Hope you like it PFFT I’ve written a couple drabbles for it but imma shut up now ^_^ feel free to send me asks n stuff if you want!!!!!!

so, as some of you may have noticed, the bonus rounds for the luca marinelli character FIGHT did not necessarily proceed as planned. this is due to certain life events on my part and also i felt we'd taken that event to its natural conclusion. whether there will be any more there remains to be seen.

HOWEVER. i had such a good time running it that i'm going to do it again. i've taken the time to consider what went well and what didn't and my strategy for this moving on. so, with that all said, i bring you:

The Old Guard Character FIGHT: Submissions Open

but neon, you may say. there's only like six of them. which is true, for our main characters, but this tournament is open to ALL of them, just as a fun little thought experiment, and open to ALL versions. think lulu from tales through time could beat andrei the pilot in a fight? think comic merrick would wipe the floor with comic copley? or even movie merrick? now is your chance to say it. the more one-off the character submitted the better. so! submit as many as you'd like! the form will be left open for a while to give me a chance to deal with events, and there may be delays between or within rounds for the same reason, so bear with me on this one. but i had so much fun doing it last time that here we are

the immortals, including yitzhak and lykon, are all automatically entered, but i encourage you to submit for them anyway (this helps me out with deciding how the bracket works AND writing the arguments later on)

now. enjoy!

can i just say ☝️😀 i'm actually very proud of via dolorosa (my fic Not the actual processional route in jerusalem) which is quite surprising because i usually equate time i spent on project to quality of project. which is why i didn't vibe with sunflower fingerprints that much even after the initial good feedback because for some reason i was rushing myself to put it out?? and so i think it could have been better

but with via dolorosa even though i wrote it in two hours idk it felt like i had a vision and i dumped it exactly as i wanted + more out on the page. maybe it's because it was an idea based on a prompt and not my own original idea per se which made writing it easier and less pressurising lol but 👍 idk where i was going with this but point is i like it a lot good job me

I still have dreams that take place in the house I lived in the longest, in Tulsa. Whenever I am reading and a scene is set in the kitchen, I picture the kitchen of the house I lived in until I was six, in broken arrow. I have dreams of the playgrounds I knew as a child, of the preschool and primary school and middle school. Of the churches I attended. Of the target foodcourt with the icees. I have dreams in the halls of the high school where my father taught, empty and echoing, and of the high school I attended, full and warm. Of the houses my grandparents have lived in. Of the lake house my father’s father owned and of the shores and waters of grand lake. I am made up of all the places I have loved and will never go again.
