#I have too many projects right now

the urge to make a corset for no reason has overwhelmingly consumed every fiber of my being

#is this what being ill is like #I want it so bad #but do my hands feel like sewing #no #I have too many projects right now #and too many hobbies #who #hello? #anyways #danpop #I have this beautiful satin rose jacquard fabric that has been in my stash forever

honestly just putting this here so that I remember but I really wanna write a fic from some villain's POV as they're working with Nightwing for whatever reason. (maybe they have an in with a network of criminals Dick is trying to take down.)

point is: this villain is working with Nightwing and therefore seeing him through the lens of someone that Dick would want afraid of him rather than someone that Dick loves or at least wants to be perceived as friendly with.

so obviously Nightwing is going to be fucking scary to this villain even though they're gonna be at least a somewhat established villain. and, since the entire thing is from their POV, the reader is gonna see Nightwing as scary too.

not only is Nightwing just very capable and that's scary, but he's actively manipulating this villain and lying.

like example:

"You won't kill me. Bats don't kill."

"Are you really in a position to make that assumption?"

"You've never killed before!"

"You seem pretty sure of that."

the villain has no idea how much Dick is stretching the truth or straight up lying. the reader can only assume based on canon and their knowledge of the character.

like in that example, obviously Dick is not gonna kill this random villain, but at the same time he's not entirely lying either. they really aren't in the position to assume Dick will stick to a moral code, (especially if this is a villain that knows about Red Hood,) and Dick has killed before. but that knowledge is only the reader's.

again, Dick is still actively manipulating the villain here, but what are they gonna do about it? they can't know for sure and even if they did assume, are they really gonna be able to beat Nightwing?

Nightwing who from their perspective seems to be calm as can be. walking with pure confidence as if there isn't a villain right behind him.

a kind of confidence that can only come from a man with the skills to back it up.

#I have too many projects to do this right now but god #eventually I will write this #because writing Cass' POV on Dick was fun but this? #this is me fully using that idea of someone else looking at Dick and having no context #scary capable Dick my beloved #dick grayson #richard grayson #nightwing #batman

I had some really lovely asks about the short Essek fancomic from a while ago, that I have already answered privately, but I just wanted to thank all those who sent me those heartwarming thoughts – they were so appreciated. <3

I am mentally in a really tough spot since a few months now and it's very difficult for me to stay positive, be productive and not feel exhausted. Art is really difficult right now because I barely have any mental energy left for it and more often than not I end up feeling like what I create is really pointless and meaningless, but the occasional kind interactions really make my day and I am super thankful for them.

If I didn't answer, I probably haven't thought of a good reply that seems worthy, but I read all the asks, comments and the (lovely and silly) tags that people put under my art, so thank you. 💜

#i talk sometimes #personal #there are so many projects i would like to work on right now but i am mentally too exhausted for them unfortunately #i need to also learn how to convince myself that i have something worthy to say with my art #regardless of how isolating it feels #but it's a journey and i hope i'll get there soon i guess

Remember the Cat!Kai AU?

Cai is literally just a cat, still the master of Fire, he's just orange and loves Nya. He's like 20 and still looks like he's barely a year old. He still comes up with all his canon plans and only their enemies question Cai being the Master of Fire- until he bites them with his Firey Fangs.

He's exactly the same as canon Cai, just meows. Flame was his dragon still. He still can summon his elemental dragon. His deal with Lloyd was mostly the water pranks, but when the kid was in trouble he accidentally pictured Nya and couldn't help but save him.

Every Single Stray cat in Ninjago is treated well because nobody knows if that's a new Elemental Master. Every Villain past a certain point gets a pet cat thinking it will throw Cai off. It doesn't, he just has a lot of cat friends now.

Cai absolutely knows how to drive any vehicle or mech he's in. Yes, even a motorcycle someone lent him. It's like he's a person when driving them, but he's just got his paws on the wheel.

He also can't speak. He just meows. He still gets his point across. Nobody except Nya could understand him at first and nobody knows why.

Nya is the only one allowed to get water near him unwanted. He takes actual showers still, he even has cat shampoo he uses. Nobody is sure how he uses it or where he gets it-

HWEBFHSEBHE OH GOD I REMEMBER THIS AU

jesus I remember making that au ages ago, how long has it been-

but just as it was so long ago, the mental image of this highly intelligent but still a cat cat with the power of arson is just as amazing as I remember it

I can't remember if I brought it up on tumblr, but I remember talking with someone on tumblr about Ray giving Cai his powers in a moment of sleep deprived madness/affection much to Maya's tiredness, but it was already done and they couldn't exactly take it back

#this au is wild and I wanna write it so badly but I already have too many projects going on right now ;-; #cat kai au #ninjago #kai smith #ninjago kai

The way that the sun hits leaves and clouds. I feel like I could watch the colors change forever. If I could slow down for that long.

#i keep forgetting a have a deck now. i can go outside and sit there #im doing that now. sitting in the corner of a deck full of empty chairs. staring up at a big pine tree where the sun is striking it gold #at the top. i like how thr light hits the needles. if the sky was black it would look like its on fire #theres a tree outside my bedroom window too. in the morning. after the sunrises it catches thr light and refelcts the most perfect shade #of green. the kind of green that flutters translucent like youre looking up from the bottom of a pool. the light the light its all about #the sun. everything everything is about the sun. when i start my project I'll be focused on understanding how organisms catch the light bc #its so incredible and complicated it would make my chest swell to bursting if there wasnt an empty bleeding wound in my gut. a #metaphorical wound of course. i dunno. its just difficult bc right now my mood is inflated by hormones. not even that much i think I'm #just at what shoulf be a normal level of happiness so i can be slow for a minute. but just a minute bc i kno it won't last long #sorry i cant shut the fuck up when im like this but i dunno i just feel like i havr to document these ephemeral moments before they're gone #its just difficult when you kno the world is so full of beautiful things but 95% of the time your eyes are too clouded to see it #everyone tells me i work too much but i feel like im just staring off into space being miserable 60% of the time. ive just done so much #damage over the past few years im coming into a new lab as damaged goods. ive got an albatross around my neck in thr form of data i #collected so self destructively that the idea of having anything to do with its publication makes me hate myself. everytime someone tells #me good job on collecting so so so much data it feels like they're congratulating me for breaking something within myself. like i slit my #wrists and bled out on a lab bench and theyre saying good job and theyre excited for me and i have to grin and bear it and pretend im #excited too. but im not bc ive burned everything inside me to ash. so when im elevated enough to be distracted by the clouds and trees it #feels like healing. like seeing angels. beautiful ephemeral beams of light. i wish i could slow down enough to watch them. but now thr sun #is hitting the horizon and the sky is going gradually dark and i should go inside. bc i have many things to do in the morning. so that's #what ill do. and ill try to get more thsn 6hrs of sleep but its hard when your body is vibrating over with energy #but at least i dont feel tired in the morning. something in my head must be on fire #unrelated #hm i should maybe add a tw to this #tw self injury #but its the kind thst makes u good at ur Job. its the kind ppl reward. so they don't understand when u say its destroying ur life #but im trying to get better. i say as i gear up for an insane semester lol but i do mean it

Bumblebee turned around to track Sari’s flight through the pouring rain and noticed her light had paused, quickly realizing she must have stopped to hover in place while responding to Blitzwing. His spark skipped a beat and he desperately hoped that his boyfriend would succeed in reasoning with her.

“I’m not too emotional! If I want to fly, I’m going to fly!”

“Calm down,” the triple-changer pleaded over his comm-link. With a whirr, his faceplate switched and he let out a high-pitched stressed laugh, “We can’t make any more friendship bracelets if the flashy cloud snakes fry your circuits!”

“I am perfectly ca-!”

Lightning split the sky right at Sari’s location, followed by a sharp crack of audial-splitting thunder less than a nano-klik later. When the lightning cleared, the glow from her jetpack had disappeared.

Written for Blitzbee Week @blitzbee-week based on the day 1 prompt (Life or Death). Basically, Bumblebee seduced Blitzwing into joining the Autobots and Sari convinces him to give her flight lessons. They bonded (platonically, think brother-in-law) and that's a problem.

Btw, Sari’s gonna be okay, someone (*cough cough* Blitzwing) just has to save her first.

Also, this work was partially inspired by the Showstoppers series written by @tastytoastz . If you haven't read it, go read it, it's sooooooo good!!! It’s one of my top three favorite blitzbee fanfics. I heavily based a lot of the character interactions in this one-shot off of the character dynamics portrayed in that series. I also used it as a sort of justification for how the team was able to get where it's at now with Blitzwing while writing this. In this fic, a decent amount of time has passed since the moment where Crossing the Line (part 2 of Showstoppers) ended, at least enough for the for the Christmas episode to have happened where Sari gets her jetpack and be semi-used to flying. The team has also had more time to bond too.

Let me know what y’all thought!

I don’t know as much as i should about warriors to make this post but . I really like the idea of an au where one of mapleshades kits survives and become firestars grandparent or smth because imagine her finding out about leafpool and seeing ashfur go to starclan would she protect her great grandkids would she even know. so many thoughts

#warrior cats #warriors #Mapleshade au #see cuz from my understanding of the character she’s like pure chaotic evil right willing to do anything to avenge her kits and the #betrayal of her former mate. #even though her own actions lead too the kits thing #but like can you fucking imagine that anger directed towards the dark forest? or Tigerstar even? that shit is interesting it’s not cuz he’s #cuz like. that’s her family her kits kits the one thing she’s ever cared about was her kits so like watching tiger try and kill them ofc #she would be pissed but like does that make her a better person now her anger and hatred is directed at ‘’the bad guys”’’ I don’t know! #maybe? it’s really interesting ahajajaja #but also like #I don’t think i would wanna write this au cuz a I haven’t read the books so I’d miss details and it’s possible I misunderstand the charater #and b I have too many ongoing projects #this is a prompt #warriors au

[pekoeboo]

finally feel like I'm at a point where I can share this idea!!! so @cookieg122 and I have been working on an AU for a few months now that's a pretty big departure from the Minecraft stuff we've been working on, as it's more of a fully-original concept instead ;o;

this story has a proper name, as well!! titled Codename: IRIS, the plot centers around a younger Khalan, who gets into gaming as a form of escape from his abusive home life and the stress of moving to a new country/big city. but he quickly finds out that the game console he was gifted actually houses a seemingly-sentient AI - of which he names Aya.

the two go on adventures through various video games to stop a different, malevolent AI that's threatening to corrupt the virtual world; all while utilizing futuristic VR technology to do so. but they also take breaks sometimes with more typical PC gaming and meet Antony along the way, who ends up being a sort of "guide" for Khalan (as the kid is pretty new to video games as a whole) :'0

unfortunately, the virtual threat does end up spreading to the real world as well, which pushes Khalan and Aya (who can move freely between the game console and his phone) to solve challenges within the city itself in a race against the clock to stop the threat - just as long as Khalan manages to get back home in time before his dad finds out;;

there's so much more to this story that I can't really cover in just a single post, but I felt like it was finally time to at least reveal the basics of this concept to y'all!! it's been a lot of fun to re-imagine these characters within a "real life" setting (taking place in an alternate version of Earth in the year 203X), though it's still very sci-fi at its core, lol.

anyway! that's all I can really share for now! hope y'all like ;0;

is it terrible that I would like to see it?

if you're asking yourself "what is it?" right now...your answer is probably "yes"...

don't judge me...

i finished making chapter 7 of my comic and immediately my entire routine went to shambles cause i don't know what to do with myself anymore. girlies i'm so bored

#not really a vent post <3 i'm vibing i'm just sooo bored #like. ok. my main goal right now is to submit an application to a grocery store #i am taking this with ultra super tiny baby steps. if i don't i'll start sobbing and never do it #so i'm spending like 30 minutes max on this a day #there's so many more hours than that in a day and i don't know what to do with it #i do have other projects i should be working on *cough* getting my comic website built *cough* #but because the job shit is the Main Project my brain is like oh no no i can't do that c: that can't be done on the same day as job days! #cause that's how i handle comics and the other stuff i want to work on. #i don't typically do side projects on the same day as my main project that'd be wild that's too much they all get their own days #and now because i don't have Comic Days i don't feel like there's a deadline for me to do my fun stuff #so i'm not nearly as motivated to do the fun stuff #i am Also a little bit in an art block (no ideas) so i probably Should step back from art a bit and give that time #but i don't DO ANYTHING ELSE!!!! art is 90% of my life!!!!! #and the days i don't do art is usually when i know i shouldn't do art that day for the sake of my health #i LIKE when video games are a once a week thing it becomes a special lil treat for meeee #but now that's the only thing i Can do with my time and i ?????????????????????????????? #i can't even be like oh haha i can write stuff instead! i have comic script AND video game script to write! #that doesn't solve the problem i can't start doing that until like 10 pm or else my eyes will be strained the rest of the day #i've been running out of youtube videos for weeks already so that's not anything #and i don't like watching tv/movies #literally what do i even do with myself #god i hope i get this job so i can actually do things again. not a sentence i ever thought i'd say

Aspect of Order: Primordial & Present-Day

One of the first deities, part of what is known as the Primordial Triad. It created the planes alongside the Aspects of Chaos and the In-Between and held dominion over the Material Plane. It embodied order in the way nature has order: the life cycle, gravity, the tides, the surety that the seasons will change, the patterns that appear in flora and fauna alike, the symmetry of pinecones and butterflies. It was associated with the night as a time of quiet preparation where the world rests, and when one can see the remains of creation in the darkened sky. It is said that the two moons of the Material Plane are its eyes, watching over its creations.

All three members of the Primordial Triad are referred to with "it", so ancient and unfathomable that applying a mortal, transient concept of gender to them seemed almost blasphemous.

Almost.

The modern-day conception of Order is quite different. Though she still reigns over the night and natural laws, her followers have placed her at the forefront of the creation process, reducing the In-Between's role and rejecting Chaos altogether. Though most present-day cultures think of her in this way, many of them do not emphasize her: she is an invisible Over-God, keeping the other deities and forces in line and maintaining cosmic balance from behind the scenes. In places where she is worshipped heavily, however, she is placed at the forefront of the pantheon. In those cases, worship of deities with overlapping domains is either illegal (ex local gods of justice) or considered secondary to her (ex the god of the Wilds). The worship of smaller, local deities is usually discouraged or suppressed over-all in these areas in order to encourage a more structured, uniform religious practice. While both aspects of Order championed paladins, Primordial Order also championed druids and rangers while Modern Order champions clerics.

Ancient theologians debated whether or not Order and Chaos were two aspects of the same being (ironically, there was no question that the In-Between was its own separate force). However, following the iconoclasm that effectively forced Chaos out of the pantheon and created the modern conception of Order, such lines of thought were considered heretical, and then blasphemous.

The iconoclasm did have an unintended consequence, however. Crying motifs appeared in some art of Primordial Order around that time, particularly in the areas that resisted the iconoclasts more intensely. Some scholars believe that it may have been a direct reaction to the event: Order mourning the loss of its counterpart. Others have argued, however, that the lack of such motifs (or equivalents) in depictions of the In-Between prove this wrong. After all, why would it not also be grieving?
