Tutorial: How I Render Accents

PART 2: COLORS

I usually do not recommend 'pixel hunting' aka going over your work with a fine tooth comb and picking out stray pixels to erase. However, for setting up a proper base layer for accents it is imperative to do so.

To explain my method of color blocking: I select everything outside of the lines, invert that selection, then fill in. This does a more accurate job than going into each and every section and filling them all in individually, and is also significantly faster. Only downside is small sections like above where you can see bits of the green (which I use bright green against a dark grey background to contrast the base color, lines, and background) poking out, as well as the inner section where it filled in a spot I did not want filled in. Getting all of this right in this stage will make your life easier as you go. (It's also the method I use to color block all my work, even beyond accents)

Now this where my style of rendering color may come off intimidating and, tbh it might be. I do gradients first and then I color over them with "normal" blend layers. I typically don't use multiply layers unless I'm shading something that has a lot of textures. If this scares you, it's okay I'll keep walking you through it. Here, my gradient goes from a pastel but deep periwinkle, to a soft more cyan blue, then to a lighter pastel green. Skipping steps and going from the periwinkle to green will give it a different look. There's also hints of a pinkish tone as an accent color.

So as I said, these additional layers are done with regular "normal" blend mode layers. I've placed one in between the butterfly line art and the line art for the rest of the flowers, and then an additional layer under everything else. This allows me to create a glow effect specifically around the butterflies, and then specifically under the flowers. Going back and forth with the proper amount of opacity (by using the airbrush transparently) helps to make it glow but not be Too Loud. Also checking it against a dark background can help to check for spots where it spills past the borders, as well as really gauge how Bright it is. I've also color matched the butterflies with the flower pits and the bulbs. This adds extra cohesion and makes them all look uniform but different enough with the gradients.

The stages of how I render gems/dew drops. Take the base color, make it a bit darker and less saturated (as well as changing the hue a bit depending on what the default color is. For yellows I go more orange/red, for blues I go more purple or even pink. It depends), add a small drop light at the bottom thats a fairly saturated version of the base color, and then a stark white/ near white highlight. That's it. Don't over complicate it, it will not matter when it gets shrunk down. Note that I do not use multiply/overlay/screen layers for these types of things as it adds too much bulk to the files and doing it manually helps to strengthen your color theory skills.

For shading and rendering, again, I create a "normal" layer and simply. Draw over what exists. Color picking and hand blending allow me to create the exact shades and effects that I want that multiply/screen/overlay layers may not be able to achieve. (which isn't to say I dont use them! i just don't use them for the main meat and potato part of my coloring) All of what is shown here is also achieved with the CSP asset SOIPEN (which can be found for free in the asset store)

another example. The one on the right is showing how the layer looks without the gradient base layer under it. All of this is rendered by hand. I also specifically put a highlight color around where the butterfly is sitting to give a better illusion that it is properly sitting on the flowers rather than just in front of them.

Next is changing the color of the lines, if needed. A method i'll use is I color just the sections I want (on a separate clipping layer) then lock that layer's alpha setting to them add in a gradient. It's a small and subtle effect that adds more depth without doing a lot of effort. (work smarter not harder)

Now we get to the Polish Layers!

first image is how it looks as a base. second image is with an overlay layer applied. I've used some dark purples and mid tone desaturated greens to push the values a bit further (especially evident on the top left wing) Third image is with a screen layer applied, highlighting the inner most part of the flowers and adding some additional bounce light.

An important thing to note about making accents vs making full coverage skins: OPACITY AND LAYER TYPES MATTER OVER TRANSPARENT SPOTS. What I mean by this is that if you use a soft, light grey to shade with a multiply layer, don't clip it to anything, and have it go outside the lines - that will no longer appear as a 'shadow' when it comes to the final result. Instead you will have a section of soft light grey that is simply laid on top of whatever the image under it is. The same applies for overlay/screen/add layers and so on. If i use a very dark color on a screen layer (to give a soft highlight) and airbrush it over a bunch of stuff and don't clip it, it will end up with this horrible dark splotch over everything that isn't opaque. To this end, mastering normal layers is imperative to having well rendered and convincing accents.

Another thing of note: when it comes to sparkles/small details, note how 'large' the sparkles behind the butterflies are. They seem a bit chunky, yeah?

this is what they look like at proper size. If anything, I could have gone larger on the small metal beads connecting the dew drop jewels to the lace.

Another trick I also like to do is this:

a slight hint of transparency! It's just enough to let the dragon's lines underneath show through but not enough to be super noticable. I like to do this a lot when it comes to sparkly and magical effects.

Next is the worst part of all: destroying all that beautiful hard work with the shadow and line art layers! (sobbing)

This stage always agonizes me. This is my first pass of the shadow/line layers and let's hope it's dark enough.

But yeah that's a start to finish look at how I create my accents. Unfortunately a lot it devolves into needing to know, yknow, line weight and silhouette importance, color theory and the ways that drawing applications actually apply color to a png vs how its rendered in app. All of these things impact the finesse of the accent, and are things you do have to learn gradually over time, but hopefully this has given yall some additional insight and perhaps some helpful tips.

And this should also explain why I get so mad when people go 'hey can I get this accent in another color' no! no you literally can't!

i’ll make another mark for you

DAY 9 | OCTOBER 28 | MARKING

genre: nsfw, smut characters: sub!albedo x dom!reader summary: sucking on his neck specifically the star mark, i like to think it's very sensitive there warning: marking, dry humping

Albedo's golden birthmark always intrigued you. Does it feel like skin? Is it metal? Does it bother him when he's turning his head around? Is it just a normal birthmark? Or is it sensitive?

You really want to test these theories out but he's always so busy.

You watch him write away whatever discoveries he made in his notebook, not even noticing the intense stare coming from you. Taking this as an opportunity, you go up behind him and kiss his exposed neck.

He flinches and involuntarily touches the part you pecked, turning to look at you with a surprised expression.

"Y/N, what were you doing?" His voice is soft, not scolding but just genuinely confused of your sudden action.

"You like experiments, right?" You ignore the question. "I want to try something out."

"What is it?"

"Look up," you order him and he does. You eye his star mark and bury your head into his neck, licking up his neck.

Albedo's eyes widen, jolting while letting out a small moan. "Seriously? W-What are you trying to do?" His hands are on your shoulders wanting to push you away but his body tells otherwise.

You give butterfly kisses closer and closer to the center of his throat and his reaction shows positive results to your hypothesis. You suck more and you notice the edges of where the mark and his normal skin connects is more sensitive than the center. You give extra attention there.

His hips are bucking into yours, trying to get friction as he whines loudly. Good thing there's no one near his lab.

You lightly bite his neck before giving it a kiss and move away to see the new mark he has. It gives you some sort of pride to see your man-made mark on him. His glistening face is contorted with pleasure, red face and teary eyes, eyebrows furrowed, hair sticking to his forehead. The bulge on his pants goes unnoticed.

You grind on his clothed cock and watch his reaction getting needy. You dug your face into his neck once again to suck his skin but on the other side. His moan gets high pitched on that particular spot. The edges of his star mark really are sensitive you couldn't help grazing your fingers over it, earning a more vocal Albedo.

"Please!" He pants, getting handsy on you, trying to pull you closer than possible.

"Hah, just please—!"

You weren't sure if cut himself off or he just doesn't want to say what he wants because he's too embarrassed. Either way, you know what he wants. He just wants to cum, though you're pretty sure he'll just cum himself by the way he's rutting his hips so desperately into you.

And you were right. His moans are going faster and higher pitched and before long, he's staining his shorts. Some of it starts to dribble down his thighs, staining more of his clothes and socks. You slap his ass before whispering in his ears.

"Thanks. I think I've come to a conclusion."

You lean away to see a golden mark and numerous purple marks around it on his neck.

Bees were the runner up in the poll, so here they are

Okay sooooooo bees. This is gonna be formatted the same just probably shorter

The bee diet consists of nectar, honey l and plants. Bees are herbivores, their bodies are not built to process meat like Hornets and Wasps and it can make them sick. They have a cultural dish of Orantais (A Bee Territory fruit) dipped in sugar and chocolate. This food is usually sold inside the streets of the hive.

Their society is just like bees, except a little different. The queen rules everyone and everything and can make executions. All males are kicked out during winter, and if one stays, he’s killed brutally for not following orders. The queen’s heirs WILL NOT take the throne after she dies, the bees will choose whatever princess is best and follow her to build a new hive after the queen’s death. Selling royal honey is HIGHLY against the law of the First Queen… OH YEAH- THEY WORSHIP THEIR FIRST QUEEN, also known as Queen Pollen, the first queen of the bees. She was born before AE (After Evolution) and even before BE (Before Evolution) She was actually born in the Emerald Age, which is prehistoric. She made a specific set of laws and was also seen as a goddess… weird… I hope she doesn’t return from the dead… Princes do not matter and are still kicked out during winter, the princes are ALWAYS kicked out of the royal household and put up for adoption. Sad… The hierarchy consists of the queen, the princesses, citizens, and children. Higher ranking citizens will live close to the queen while lower ranking are pushed farther away.

The appearance of bees is not very complex and diverse. They always consist of white, browns, and yellow. They all have stripes. The colour of their eyes can vary though from red, blue, green, black, and purple. Queen Honeymoon has blue eyes which is a more royal family trait. The bees have thick, sturdy stingers that are usually reinforced with metals. The stinger is not as permanent as the hornets or wasps, and can accidentally break off. Though it won’t kill them, it just HURTSSS. Prosthetics exist though. Bees are much smaller than the wasps ans smaller than hornets. They are easily spotted in crowds of other bugs because of their unique appearance.

RANDOM INFORMATION WOOHOOOOWHOOOHOOOOOOOO

The bees are not an advanced species, they can’t build elaborate and safe cities like wasps or make elaborate hives like both hornets and wasps

They can’t see many colours and will shield their eyes from any brightly coloured bug like wasps and butterflies since they can’t see all those colours

The first bee queen has a faraway temple that is concealed and hidden

Bees will all huddle in the center of the in-hive city. The royal family will huddle in the royal winter huddle room which has a bunch of blankets, and a ton of rugs

Bees are not taught anything about the outside world which is why they walk right into danger. Wasps find this absolutely funny and have a saying that goes “Don’t be a bee, or you’ll be in the jaws of danger” which is just saying don’t be an absolute idiot and die

Bees can’t be born during winter as that’s against the law and creates complications. Bees born during winter are usually seen as criminals

Bees can’t spell. They were never taught anything and only know how to speak and abide the law

Art drawn by bees is so horrible, a group of wasps started weeping by just the thought of it… it’s horrible

Goodbye, do you want more of these?

Butterflies and moths of Doriath

Flora, fauna, geography and environment Masterlist

As always I included world building notes at the bottom so it’s not just a list of species

There are hundreds of species of butterflies found throughout the region of Doriath. Though Tolkien abandoned the idea that butterflies, all originated in the Nan Tathren, which was written in the book of lost tales, I do like to headcanon that this remained a legend or folktale in universe

Note: there are so many species of insects, this unfortunately cannot be a complete list

Primarily Neldoreth: orange tip (outskirts), elm autumn moth, Aglia tau, silver washed fritillary, dotted border moth, brown tail moth, comma butterfly

Primarily Nivrim: Checkered skipper, purple hairstreak (found in Region too), green hair streak, large copper, white prominent moth, purple emperor, large tortoiseshell

Primarily Region: Holly blue, northern blue, oak lantern moth, bird cherry ermine moth, blotched emerald moth

Throughout Doriath: ghost moth, wood white, cranberry blue, green longhorn moth, Luna moth, peacock butterfly, ghost moth, lilac leafminer moth, paper moth, white Pearl moth, red admiral, Heath fritillary, light emerald moth

Forest edges and clearings: short tailed blue, pea blue, purple edged copper, small copper, speckled wood, green hairstreak, wal brown, scarce swallowtail, clouded Apollo, blue spot hairstreak, twin spot fritillary, Julia,

World building notes

-Butterflies and moths, as a whole are associated among the Sindar with transformation and cycles of life as they are in many cultures. They are also symbols of abundance, color and precision/agility. Different species and varieties will have more specific connotations, however

-Arthórien has rare, even rainforest butterflies due to the difference in temperature and rainfall. I will make a separate post for its butterflies!

-The gardens of Menengroth also have several species of rare butterflies not found elsewhere in Doriath. These are nurtured by Melian’s power.

-ghost moths are associated with spring and summer for their bright colors and emergence in warmer weather. Insects and flora have had a large influence on color and pigmentation in Sindarin practices, both as inspiration and material.

There are even practices of safely collecting the dust and pollen that collect on the wings and legs of insects; it is immensely time consuming and precise.

-Orange tips can be found on the sigils of certain Doriath nobles. Their image is sometimes used in Doriathrim fashion, especially in jewel and hair pieces made from wood or metal. Alder bark is typically used to create the orange color

It was from these species among others that pollination was originally studied by the Sindar of Doriath.

-The purple hairstreak is associated with twilight and the darker reaches of the forest. This is primarily for its color as like most species of its family, they tend to emerge mainly on sunny days. They feed mostly on oak trees. The name for this species in Ilkorin translates to butterfly of twilight.

Their almost shadow like appearance in flight makes them a favorite for artists who make prints and illustrate naturalist work!

-Wood whites are often associated with niphredil both for their color and their habitat.

Note: I always imagine Niënor wearing a hair piece or embroidery with this species during her time in Doriath

-Luna moths are highly associated with Melian and with Lórien. They symbolize night, dream, and desire and appear as motifs in a lot of later Sindar poetry and art

8: How Eclipsa's trial during 3.16.1 should have gone

Follow up to “How Moon and Eclipsa’s talk in 3.15.2 should have gone.”

Eclipsa was sitting in her room when Moon and Omnitraxus Prime walked in. She looked up at them in surprise.

“Moon, Omni! Did you figure out how to do my trial?”

Both of them nodded at that. “We only have one last thing to figure out, and Moon thought we should give you the option.”

Eclipsa turned to Moon at that. “Well, what is it?”

“Technically there are two collections of crimes against you that should be handled by two courts. The first are crimes against the kingdom itself, and the second are crimes against magic and the multiverse.” She then handed two packets to Eclipsa. “These packets have the specifics for you to go over. You can have one week to go over them and then decide which one you want to go through first.”

Eclipsa shot Moon a look. “Can’t I just do both at once and get them over with?”

“Absolutely not! Mewni and the MHC have separate jurisdictions and melding them here would bring that separation into question. If we start prosecuting you for local crimes, other dimensions would start thinking we would mess with their local politicians and either raise a stink or cut off contact with us entirely!”

“Omnitraxus! Calm down!” Moon turned back to Eclipsa. “While his delivery could have been better, he is right. The MHC is an organization that is supposed to be separate from any one government and its issues. This is why the queens of Mewni only become members after we hand over the crown to our daughters, and even then we are forbidden from getting involved with issues related to Mewni.”

Eclipsa then smiled and reached under her bed to pull out two books. One was labeled ‘legal proceedings of the MHC’, while the other was labeled ‘legal proceedings of Mewni.’

“I have been doing some research through some of the books I asked for. There is one way we can do both at once.”

Omni’s eyes began to widen as what she was saying finally realized what she was asking.

“Eclipsa, are you SURE you want to do this? I might not like you, but no one should have to go through that. Every secret and belief you hold will be laid bare for all to see. You will be tried and sentenced on the spot with no chance of appeal. Even Rhomulus’s crystals would be kinder than what it would do to you.”

Eclipsa just stood tall and looked him in the eye, her posture fully conveying the queen she once was.

“I am sure. I have hidden and been hidden long enough. It’s time for everyone to see me for who I really am. If it means I die, then I will die on my terms.”

Moon and Omni looked at each other before looking back and nodding.

“I understand Eclipsa. We will have the trial set up tomorrow.”

She just smiled at Moon. “Thank you.”

Butterfly Throne Room during 3.16.1

Moon’s Throne sat empty at the head of the room with River sitting to its left and Star to its right. The left side of the room had the MHC except Lekmet and Glosseryck. The middle of the room had a stand where Eclipsa stood in handcuffs and her formal wear. On the right side of the room was a jury box with 9 noblemen and women sitting in it.

Star could only shoot the noble a look.

The nobles included a pink-haired woman in a pink and yellow dress holding a flower-printed fan; a dark aquamarine-haired woman with a hat sprouting 4 feathers; a bald man with a bright red beard; a nurse with bright pink hair; a man with dark brown hair and a plain khaki suit; a grey-haired man in a squires outfit; a light purple-haired woman with a beret; a dark red-haired women with a bright red ruby on her chest; and a tall green-haired women with a pair of pine tree shaped earrings and neckless.

Lady Jasmine Flowers, Lady Marine Waterson, Lord Falcon Redbird, Lord Jordan Fields, Lord Percy McKnight, Lady Carice Cross, Lady Berenice Firefly, and Lady Juniper Forest. The 9 heads of the noble houses of Mewni.

Star never had a good relationship with them due to her habit of ignoring rules and making a mess. If what Eclipsa and Moon were saying were true, then that relationship would tank even more.

BANG BANG BANG

“All Rise! The joint court of the Magical High Commission and Mewni is now in session. Her Majesty, Queen Moon of Mewni, presiding.”

Moon then walked in from behind her throne and stood in front of it.

“Thank you. We are gathered here today for the trial of Eclipsa-“

BANG

The door was thrown open by Sean who then pushed in a typewriter.

“Sorry, I’m late! We haven’t had a trial of this magnitude in so long, I didn’t know where to find the typey thingy. I mean, a real trial! This is exciting!”

“That depends on where you’re sitting.”

…

“As I was saying, we’re gathered here today for the trial of Eclipsa.”

Moon shot Sean a look for his loud typing.

“We shall determine once and for all whether Eclipsa has committed the evil deeds recorded in the Mewni histories and the crimes recorded in the Magical High Commission records, or MHC for short. If she is found guilty of the MHC crimes, the punishment will be crystallization. If she is found guilty of the Mewni crimes, she shall be executed. If she is found guilty of both, then she will be executed. Is this acceptable to the MHC?”

“Yeah, though I still think we should just crystalize her now and be done with it.”

“Quiet Rhombulus.”

“Well, that sounds good to me. But what is she doing here?”

Heckapoo pointed at Star.

“This is supposed to be a private hearing!”

“Star is the crowned princess of Mewni. Since I am proceeding, she is representing house Butterfly in asking the question for the trial.”

“I have no objection either Queen Moon.”

Moon nodded in gratitude at Omni before turning to the nobles of Mewni. “Is this acceptable for the nobles of Mewni?”

The nobles all conferred with each other before Lord Redbird spoke up.

“We have no issues with this, Your Majesty.”

Moon then turned to Eclipsa. “Now before we begin, I must ask once more. Are you sure about choosing Trial by Box? The Box is a ruthless seeker of truth. If you attempt to conceal anything from it, crystallization or death may be the least of your worries.”

“I’m tired of sitting around waiting for you to decide my fate. I’ll give you the truth, all of it, and it, and if that means crystallization or death, so be it.”

Moon kept looking at her for a few seconds before turning to Sean.

“Sean, we wish to invoke trial by Box.”

He immediately snapped to attention.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

He then ran out the door of the throne room before immediately returning, pushing a large and ornate cart labeled “Box of Truth.” He then stood in front of it at attention.

“The Box of Truth has arrived!”

With the pull of a rope, the curtain in the front raised to reveal…

“Wait, is that Truth or Punishment?”

The entire room turned to look at Star.

“What are you talking about Star?”

“A while back Ponyhead brought a box that looked just like that to our sleepover where we played a game with it. called ‘Truth or Punishment.’”

Heckapoo growled in anger at that before pulling out her scissors.

“DON’T! We can worry about what Princess Ponyhead did later. For now, let us continue with the trial.”

Moon then turned to Star. “Star, The Box is not a game!”

Who do you have a crush on?

“Queen Moon!”

Rhombulus then covered where his mouth would be while everyone else in the room just looked at him. Moon just sighed and pinched her forehead while sighing.

“It must be on the wrong setting”

She then picked it up and turned it upside down, revealing a dial with settings labeled party, intervention, bachelorette, and trial. After setting it to the last one, she put it back down.

“The rules are simple. Each member of the MHC and head of a Mewni hobble house may ask one question, and the accused must answer.”

She then taped the top, causing the box to float into the air.

To all who seek the path of knowledge, listen well to this decree. Surrender to the eye of justice. Swear an oath of Truth to me.

The top of the box then rose to reveal a mouth.

“Ooh. Different poem. Different poem.”

One by one everyone put their pinky into the mouth and swore to tell the truth. When the last one did so, it closed and floated into the middle of the room.

And now, it’s time for Trial by Box.

A large eye formed on the outside, shining a light on Eclipsa while a second light emerged beneath it onto an empty spot.

“We will begin with the MHC asking the questions, followed by the Mewmin nobles. Rhombulus?”

Rhombulus walked forward into the second light.

“Eclipsa, did you write the evil chapter in the book of spells? That’s the one filled with dating advice for monsters, your diary entries, and how to cast dark magic spells?”

A panel on the box emerged with the words Exhibit A written on it as a holographic image of the box appeared in front of Eclipsa. The book then flipped through its pages, showing Eclipsa what was in the chapter.

“Yes, I did, but, for the record, I never called it the Evil Chapter. That was your people’s name for it. I wrote plenty of eviler spells that never even made it into the final draft. Writing is rewriting, you know.”

Truth

The nobles looked disturbed at that, while Rhombulus shot Omni a look while the other nodded in response before taking Rhombulus’s place under the light.

“Eclipsa, did you cast dark magic as defined by the MHC despite being warned multiple times not to?”

Eclipsa shrugged. “I have no idea. I never paid attention to the MHC rules on what dark magic is. I highly doubt it is that much different from the Mewmi version of it.”

Truth about not knowing, though her opinion on the differences between MHC dark magic and Mewni dark magic as a definition is incorrect.

Omni looked up at the box. “Can I tell her what the definition is and then have her answer the question?”

The box hovered in silence for several seconds before it responded.

I will allow it due to her ignorance of the topic impacting her ability to tell the truth.

He then nodded and turned towards Eclipsa again.

“To greatly simplify for the sake of time, all magical living things have a tiny magical portal to the magical dimension inside of them that allows them to do magic. The bigger the portal, the more powerful they are. Each one also had filters on it that limit the kinds of magic they can do with it.”

The box’s card changed to Exhibit B before a hologram of a Ponyhead appeared in front of Eclipsa.

“Think of the Ponyheads, they can all float, many have learned to control the weather, and some can shoot lasers from their horns. The laser part is something you need to be born with the filters allowing, while the weather control is something they can all do, but they need to practice it every day to slowly expand the size of their portal so they can do it better and with more control.”

River then raised his hand. “Like muscles! The kinds of exercises you do directly affect which areas of your body get more muscular, but there are genetic limits to how strong you can get that other people might not have. You also can’t exercise to the point of growing wings.”

At that, everyone (including the Box of Truth) turned to look at River in shock.

“River, that was… coherent!”

“Oh, sorry. I didn’t mean to

Omni kept looking at him for a few more seconds before turning back to Eclipsa.

“Let’s move on. Dark Magic is the kind that alters the portals in a target.”

The Ponyhead in the hologram was hit by a holographic beam of magic before breathing fire and then firing a laser strong enough to reduce a mountain to rubble.

“This magic targets the portal in them, forcing it open larger than normal and ripping out some of the filters.”

“So they’re magical steroids? Decrease the amount of training you need to do and drastically increase your performance in some areas, but with massive health repercussions.”

…

“That was two good analogies in a row. Is he a monster in disguise?”

No, he isn’t.

“He is right though.” The hologram then showed the ponyhead being hit by a beam of magic before breathing fire and shooting a laser with enough force to reduce a mountain to dust while bleeding from its eyes and mouth.

The hologram then changed to a Mewman wearing armor and surrounded by a magical bubble.

“As an offensive tool, it can be used to target magic directly to alter the spells of others.”

The magic bubble was hit by a spell before the inside became covered in spikes and closed in on the mewman inside.

Thankfully it ended before the results were shown. It was then replaced with two images, a ponyhead and Toffee.

“It can also kill magical creatures that use magic to survive by severing their portal.”

The ponyhead was struck, causing it to fall to the ground and begin to flop around like a fish out of water.

“Or, it can be added to a spell to allow it to target a creature that would normally be immune to it.”

Toffee was struck in the heart by a blast that caused him to completely disintegrate while Moon looked on in shock.

Omni turned to look at Moon. “You cast it one time in a situation where it was the least bad option. You were never in trouble for this.”

He then turned back to Eclipsa.

“Does this context change your answer?”

She could only blink before turning back to the hologram of her book and flipping through its pages. After several seconds, she closed it and turned back to Omni.

“After reviewing my book, it looks like all my spells had some dark magic in it. Even the ‘all-seeing eye’ had it so it could peer through magical barriers. I also liked how it gave my spells a dark purple color.”

True

Eclipsa began to look worried at this point while Heckapoo walked up to her.

“Do you remember the conversation we had the month before you abandoned your post?”

The box’s card changed to Exhibit C and a hologram of Eclipsa sitting at a table with Heckapoo standing in front of her appeared. The holo-Heckapoo then bowed to Eclipsa, who nodded in response.

“Your Majesty.”

“Heckapoo.”

A serious look came across Heckapoo’s face. “We need to talk about your use of Dark Magic. It is getting out of hand and presents a clear and present danger to you and you people.”

Eclipsa just scoffed at that.

“MY people? The ones that oppose every edict I try to pass? The ones that don’t approve of me doing anything that doesn’t directly benefit them? I have read the list of what makes magic dark, and if I limited myself to that I wouldn’t be able to do anything except kill monsters and benefit people that wouldn’t lift a finger to help me.”

“Oh yeah, you’re right about that. But just because they are jerks doesn’t give you the right to sign their death warrants. Also, I am not talking about what they call dark magic, I mean what we call Dark Magic.”

Holo-Eclipsa just scoffed. “Do you think I care about the difference?”

“You should! Our definition is the kind that specializes in destroying magic! If cast inappropriately on a magical dimension, like Mewni, then you could destroy the entire thing! It has already happened 30 times!”

“Yeah, and if I keep eating Snookers, I will clog my arteries while giving food to monsters will destroy our economy. I am not going to let so-called ‘exerts’ from anywhere restrict me from doing what I think is right. I am going to do what is best for me and the people I care about, and take my lumps if it turns out I am wrong.”

She then looked holo-Heckapoo in the eye. “Now, get out of my office.”

Holo-Heckapoo scowled at her before bowing and then made a portal before she stepped through it.

Eclipsa just stared at it in horror.

“Yes, I do remember that. My response to you sounded a lot more reasonable before I heard it again.”

True.

The entirety of the room was now staring at Eclipsa at that moment. The MHC in anger, the nobles in disgust, and the Butterflies in horror.

Moon then stood up herself.

“Let us take a 15-minute break before we let the nobles ask their questions.”

There was a chorus of agreements before the box was deactivated and everyone left the room except Eclipsa.

She could only sit at her podium and gaze at the box.

“Did they have a point with crystalizing me?”

2,920 words in one chapter and I am not even done. Because of this, I decided to split it into thirds. We will explore the questions of the nobles next week, Eclipsa’s question, and the fallout after that.

I based how the Box of Truth talks off how Death talks in the Discworld novels, let me know how it translates here so I know if I should change it for the 2 direct sequels to this. Also, did you catch “The Good Place” reference I slipped in?

As for the Dark Magic, it always bothered me how everyone was saying how bad it was she used it and they dropped plenty of in-universe hints on its dangers, but never followed up on it and instead went with “she is a misunderstood woman who’s only crime was falling in love with a monster.” More on this here.

To deal with this, I wrote up a new magic system that was partially explained here. I will see If I can write up a one-shot explaining it in the future.

I decided for my New Year's Resolution to do one fanfic chapter a week for all of 2024. Who knows how long I will be able to keep this up, but next week's fanfic chapter is up on my Patreon. This is also being posted on Fanfic.com, AO3, and Tumbler.

Ng Poppin looks NOTHING like a ladybug outside his spotted shell. I'm honestly more curious how you came up with his design and maybe what type of ladybug he is? (Happy new years and btw massive fan of your work.)

Usually when I design characters, I focus more on what looks more appealing to me (and easier to draw) rather than making sure they perfectly represent what species they're based on. There's no real deeper reason for it other than preference, especially if it's what I consider a main/hero character, something I would have to draw constantly.

I think the best example of this is Sonic. I seriously doubt anyone would associate his design with a hedgehog as their first guess but what's more important is he has an appealing, recognizable silhouette that's able to express different poses and emotions (he himself was influenced by Felix the Cat's design, but that's getting off topic).

Another example is my waitress character Carrie. Her only crab-like feature is her claws, so she often gets mistaken for a cat or a dragon.

While I could (and have tried, for fun) to make her more crab-like, I like how she looks already and people find her cute, so I stick with that.

I don't have Poppin's original drawing anymore, but I recall he was originally made to be a side-character, and the initial idea was his "shell" would act as a coat.

(he's on the right, left is an older fairy-based Jupa)

As I was fleshing out that story and fleshing out these two, I started molding them into being a pair similar to Banjo-Kazooie, and wanted to make them more expressive. So Poppin's fake wing-coat turned into an actual coat, with his wings taking on a reduced shape similar to a backpack.

While not consciously intended, you can definitely notice a similarity to Invader Zim, which was one of my favorite shows and an early influence on my artwork from way back then. So older stuff used to have big heads and thin bodies, shapes that were more abstract and sharp, the eyes. His wings being small and round are similar to Zim's PAK.

(though here, I was trying to distinguish them before not really liking it)

I played around with their colors a lot. He was green originally, I think I just didn't want to go with black-red ladybug colors because it was too dark? At one point I decided to try white because it was opposite of black, and because pure white didn't look good I tried out different off-whites, starting with gray, gray-blue, and then settled on a purple tint.

There's been a bit of history with Poppin and Jupa's color changes, but I settled on them sharing 3 colors (red, blue, orange) to represent their partnership and cohesion, while possessing unique ones (poppin = purple, jupa = green and yellow) to distinguish them while like, representing the full colors of the rainbow when you put them all together. It seemed like a cute idea to me. It's difficult to talk about just one of them cause they're designed as a pair.

Canonically, Poppin's colors are considered unusual for a ladybug, so it is acknowledged in universe and he's often mistaken for other stuff (ant, alien). His father looks more like a normal ladybug, so he likely gets it from his mom, who is a butterfly. He's definitely not based on a specific species of ladybug.

Photo

I have just written the below poem, called British Butterfly Year. In this photoset are some photos I’ve taken of butterflies this year, all species mentioned in the poem. In the poem I wanted to scan through a year of butterflies in Britain (or you could specifically say southern England as where I’m based as some species mentioned may not occur elsewhere and my experience of when I see the butterflies may differ to others) roughly in order of when species mentioned are about and focus on the connection to nature through butterfly watching and wellbeing benefits.

A sunny winters day might awake a red admiral or peacock from their hibernation,

Which begins the exciting days of the year across the nation,

Staring at a bush, tree top or down at the grass for a good reason,

As the months tick by its fascinating to see where we are in the butterfly season,

The first of its kind in spring is the holly blue,

And at that time come the orange tips when their flowers come through,

Dingy and grizzled skipper and green hairstreak a treat to the eyes,

And the duke (of burgundy) does arise,

Later on adonis blue and marsh fritillary with their colours evocative of exotic places,

Putting a smile on many faces,

Meadow brown and large skipper seen and summer arrives,

Marbled white, small skipper, ringlet; the season thrives,

As the oaks green the purple emperors soar,

One must get out to see purple hairstreak, white admiral, silver-washed fritillary and more,

The balmy summer days,

Dark green fritillary, clouds of chalkhill blues, the orange glow of gatekeeper, you enjoy nature in so may ways,

Oh to fly across the grass as though you are a clouded yellow,

Without a care in the world, the sweet feeling to say to a silver-spotted skipper hello,

One of the last treats of the peak,

Brown hairstreak,

Then the quiet as it settles down,

But a speckled wood or comma here and there could rid you of a frown,

Time outdoors transfixed on the small wonders of nature it is clear,

Is wholesome to the soul, that’s the glorious British butterfly year,

I have some new pieces of trivia to share, courtesy of a post I saw on twitter:

Clio's favourite plants are clovers - she's always really loved the idea of them bringing good luck, to the point that she actually basically named herself after them! (I keep going back and forth about whether her full name is actually Clover and Clio is technically a nickname, or whether Clio is her full name, but the idea still stands either way I think.) She just really wants to be the type of person who can help things be better for those around her, like a little good luck charm to help things go their way. Additionally, she can always be seen wearing a clover flower in her hair, which I represent in-game using a white dahlia corsage because it sort of resembles a very large one. From what I have read, in terms of plant symbolism, white clover flowers mean "I promise", and clovers in general obviously have that strong association with luck, especially when four-leaved.

Lorenza's favourite flowers are lilies, which is perhaps ironic considering that lilies are toxic to cats and she gets mistaken for a Miqo'te. They are also a common Italian flower, which fits the fact that Lorenza is technically supposed to be Italian (since, I am in part)! I specifically associate her a lot with the concept of purple spider lilies, which.. I'm not sure are actually something that can or do exist IRL, but I threw the Makai Moon Guide's Circlet on her at one point while the dye was still there and it looked too cool not to try and spin something fun out of (plus, the idea of her being associated with a flower that doesn't technically exist is also fun). Spider lilies, especially the classic red ones, symbolise things like death, loss, separation, and abandonment - which definitely fit a good few of the themes of Lorenza's story when you think about it.

Tsutsuji is very heavily associated with azalea flowers, to the point that they have since become the alias that she is known by. Most people assume that they are her favourite flowers for this reason, and she does definitely like them, but her actual favourites are citrus blossoms. Azaleas can represent things like patience, modesty, temperance, and fragility.. none of which match Tsutsuji very well in the slightest.

Ajisai's name may mean "hydrangea", but her actual favourite flowers are thistles. This tends to baffle people, as nobody would expect such a timid and gentle girl to have a soft spot for such a prickly plant. Thistles represent nobility and endurance, but many of them are also important plants for pollinators like butterflies.

#a voidsent voice 🜸#lorenza (fell‑court) 🜸#clio (fell‑court) 🜸#tsutsuji (fell‑court) 🜸#ajisai (fell‑court) 🜸#^-^#the lily-of-the-valley also fits lorenza to some extent because it is poisonous but looks very pretty. just like her! =P #but it's also because it symbolises ''a return to happiness'' which.. definitely fits her reuniting with zero now doesn't it #so you could say that her favourite flowers are ''lilies of all kinds'' (which includes spider lilies and lilies-of-the-valley and so on)

make-out sesh!

taehyun x reader genre: fluff & suggestive warning: hickeys & making out ofc and a bit of grinding

it was so addicting to make out with taehyun, his pretty pink lips always left you in a daze.

it was six months into being taehyuns girlfriend and it was also the first time y’all had ever made out. after it you two just kept on making out everywhere.

his pretty lips on yours and his hands on your waist made you feel butterfly’s in your stomach all over again.

this week was one of the most hectic weeks. exams were going on all week you weren’t able to see much of taehyun.

so once school ended on friday you both decided to chill in your house and watch whatever series came up on netflix.

you two both walk in to the nearest corner store to your house and get whatever snacks you both wanted payed and went on a walk back to your home.

“taehyun!” you giggled as he just got done telling you a bad joke as you walked into your house.

slipping your sneakers off your feet and slipping on your slippers, taehyun following too with some slippers he had already in your house.

“im back!” you yelled making your way through the house. “don’t be so loud.” taehyun hissed from behind you

“no ones home anyways.” you rolled your eyes. “that’s a shame i really like ms.(l/n).”

you turn around and glare at him while he he has a grin on his face. “fine..” you turn around and walk to your bedroom.

“im playing (y/n).” he ran over to you and you both walked into your room, him closing the door behind him. “sure whatever taehyun.”

he dropped his backpack to the ground and made his way to your bed that could almost fit both of you. “ever thought of upgrading into a new bed?” he said jumping in his seat.

“i told you i was getting a new bed next month already.” you said sitting down next to him.

“the remote is right there,” you pointed to your bed stand where many decorations and where the remote was.

taehyun got the remote and turned it on quickly going to netflix. you on the other hand got your knee socks out of your feet since they were killing you from always having them on.

“let’s get comfortable.” he said while making some space so you could lay down next to him. you crawled you way down next to him before laying.

“what do you want to watch?” he asks while roaming around different shows. “i don’t know.. let’s watch something funny.”

he scrolled around for a bit before deciding to watch another episode of the office.

the first three episodes the two of you wouldn’t stop laughing and giggling about how funny it was but soon you got really bored with the show.

you yawn resting on his shoulder. “is it me or is it getting boring?” you said almost in a sleepyish voice.

“noooo! we were getting to the best part!” he whined looking back at you with big puppy eyes pleading you to not fall asleep.

“i don’t care i’m gonna go to sleep.” you shut your eyes waiting for some sleepiness to hit. “cmon!” he groaned shaking your shoulder.

“stop! im trying to sleep.” you mumbled. “then dont!” you didn’t listen and continued to want to sleep.

“if i kiss you will you not sleep?” he whispered in your ear, knowing it would send you chills. your eyes opening back up to see a smirking taehyun in front of you.

“maybe..” you said trying to hide a smile forming on your lips. “uh huh.” you lifted your face from his shoulder, closed your eyes waiting for his lips to connect to yours.

“wait!” you opened your eyes and saw him getting up from the bed making you follow. “what? why’re you standing?” you asked.

“i want to try something.” he said, pulling on your arm and making you get against the wall. your cheeks immediately going red and heart racing.

“are you planning on having sex with-“ “no!” he assured you. “i just want to try yknow making out you while standing.” you hummed, “what made you want to try this?” his ears went red.

“yeonjun hyung told me girls like it when they’re against a wall.” you couldn’t help but laugh at him. “i don’t think he meant making out babe.” you giggled.

“oh.. then never mind.” he was about to walk to the bed when you pulled on his arm making him come closer to you.

“now you left me curious! let’s try it!” you whined. “okay.”

you closed your eyes once again and waited for him lips to connect to yours. and once they did he pushed you further into the wall. one of his hands went to your cheek while the other wrapped with one of your hands.

even if you couldn’t see you knew he was enjoying this. a sigh escape from your lips when one of his legs were in between your legs.

his lips going down to your jaw giving you light kisses till it made its way down your neck to your collarbone.

you moaned out once he started to suck on your collarbone. “it feels so..” you whined. “good?” you nodded frantically. moving your hips a bit on his knee causing friction to to your thighs.

“yes! oh my god..” you melted under him. his lips disconnected from your collar and looked back at you. your face was flushed and it looked like he actually took your breath away.

“let’s stop..” he said moving back to the bed where he was previously laying. “what?” you looked at him confused. “just like that?”

his face went blank as he stared back at your tv. “you won’t fall asleep now right?”

he smirked not even looking back at you.

“b-but you just left me a hickey- i thought you wanted to-“ you came back to your senses and groaned knowing he only did it so you want fall asleep in his favorite part of the show.

“oh okay..” you walked over to your bed and instead of laying next to him you got on top of him.

he froze and shot up, his back hitting the bed frame. “what are you doing?” you shrugged and had a small smile on your lips.

“just shh and enjoy.” he rolled his eyes before relaxing and closing his eyes knowing you’ll probably just want to kiss him again.

you pushed your lips towards him locking lips. his lips tasted like cherry chapstick, there was no way you couldn’t have want more.

you licked his lips before gently biting down on it. a gasp fell from him making you push your tongue inside of his mouth, exploring every bit of his mouth.

pushing your tounge away from his mouth a smirk fell to your face. “you enjoyed that right?” you teased seeing his eyes close and mouth open taking heavy breaths.

but before he could respond you latched your lips to his neck, giving him light kisses sending him chills.

“mmh.” you heard him moan. your lips trailing down to his collarbones where you immediately started to suck on.

your fingers twiddling with the buttons of his uniform plaid shirt having more access to his chest.

“don’t leave too much..” he mumbled. you hummed back continuing to mark him. his hands trailed down to your waist so he could hold onto you better.

your mouth did a popping sound once you were done with one. a big purple bruise on his collar.

moving onto his neck you tried to find his sweet spot and once you found it the grip on your waist tightened.

“fuck don’t stop that.” he groaned making you suck harder on his neck, making sure this specific hickey never faded for a while.

whimpers and gaps fell from his pink lips like if breathing was getting harder from him.

seeing yellow lights pull up to your driveway you knew your parents were home. detaching your lips from his neck you attached them back to his lips.

kissing him with passion as both of your lips moved together. his hands rand up and down your waist as you messingly played with his hair.

hearing footsteps come closer to your door you detached your lips and jumped to the other side like if you were just laying down.

“(y/n) come he- oh taehyun, you’re here?” your mom said after opening the door. “hello ms.(l/n).” taehyun said waving his hand.

your mom looked at the screen then back at you two. “i’ll leave you two alone.” with that the door closed.

almost like you were holding in your breath you sighed. looking at the screen you saw the netflix thing that would always appear.

‘are you still watching?’

looking at taehyun he was already staring at the screen. “do you think she thinks we were doing something else?”

he nodded his head. “most likely.” you groaned and rested your head on his shoulder.

“im going to get the talk for sure when you leave tonight.”

hey i hope ur having a great day<3

could u do a george weasley smut where he uses a v!brator and some other toy on the reader while having sex

All writing will be #writing-wh0re-requests.

George Weasley x Reader.

Words: 1,339

Warnings: Smut18+. Overstimulation, Teasing, Dom Energy, Use of Sex Toys, Unprotected Vaginal Sex, Handcuffs, Gag, Nipple Play, Mentions of Drinking (?).

“George!” I quickly closed the door to the apartment behind me, waiting for a reply.

“Hello? Honey?”

I drop my bag next to the kitchen counter, walking through our small apartment. The only sound is my heels clicking against the wooden floor boards. My eyebrows knit together looking around our empty bedroom, I huff in annoyance, checking my watch. 5:05pm, he should be home.

My eyes fall to the bed, a brown box unsealed and a note sitting on top.

‘Y/n, baby,

I stepped out to grab wine. Lay out the contents of the box. Pick your favourite.

Keep your heels on.

George x’

Biting my lip, I re-read the note quickly. Curiosity takes over me as I open the box, a gasp falling from my lips. My fingers touch the smooth silicone of the blush pink vibrator, excitement bubbling in the pit of my stomach. I continue to dig through the box, touching fluffy handcuffs and a ball gag.

“What are you up to Weasley?”

I strip my clothes off, laying out the new toys on the bed. I lay beside them, my legs spread wide, heels digging into the comforter. I lean over grabbing the vibrator, turning it on as a low hum fills the air. Pressing the button on the base causes the speed to pick up, my pussy throbbing with anticipation.

“Princess!” My heart jumps at his voice, quickly scrambling to turn the toy off, hearing George chuckle.

“Someone’s eager.” George’s eyes trail over my body, filled with lust.

“I-um,” Blush fills my face, my body going hot. George holds his finger to his lips, silently shushing me. I watch as he grabs the handcuffs on the bed, dragging the fluffy material up my body. My breathing picks up, feeling him tug on my hands, cuffing them together against the bed frame. George leans down to my face, a smile dancing across his lips. I lean forward to meet his lips before he pulls away, causing my hands to jolt against the cuffs.

“Tease.”

“Oh, I’ll show you teasing.” George grabs my ankles, pulling my body down the bed, a yelp falling from my lips as the bedhead rattles against the cuffs.

The familiar buzzing hits my ears as George drags the vibrator up my legs. My breath hitches, the silicone dancing across my mound, vibrating my ribs before brushing against my hardened nipple.

I gasp at the new sensation, George with a smug smirk on his face. George drags the vibrator down my body, my hips thrusting up with need.

“Nuh uh.”

I pull on the handcuffs, wanting nothing more than to pull George in for a kiss.

“Fuck, do, uh, do something.”

My voice sounds more desperate than I thought it would. My pussy clenches around nothing. His chuckle makes my eyes roll, not out of pleasure but frustration. I know he won’t do anything, not now that he knows how needy I am. He’s going to drag this out, the thought causes butterflies to erupt inside of me.

George softly hovers the vibrator above my clit, his eyes locking onto mine. His lips kissed up my thighs.

“George, something!”

His hand slaps my thigh, pressing the vibrator against my cllit hard. My legs shake, my back arches. The pleasure instantly stops, the sound of the vibrator still buzzing in the air. I look down at George, searching for an explanation as to why my pleasure stopped. My eyes drag over his toned body, a soft whimper escaping my lips as his cock slaps against his stomach. My man in all his glory. The soft hum of the vibrator brings me back to reality, looking at the pink silicone buzzing on the fluffy comforter.

“Just fuck me” I whisper, tilting my head back.

“What was that baby?” George presses the vibrator against my clit again, swirling it around my bundle of nerves.

“I-oh.”

“I didn’t catch that baby.”

“I said fuck me.” I spit, growing frustrated and wanting nothing more than George deep inside of me. The vibrator stops causing my body to relax.

The bed creaks under his weight shifting, his hand grabbing my chin.

“I think it’s time you stopped back chatting.” The cool red ball presses against my lips before I can open them, letting the smooth plastic sit in my mouth. The glossy leather steep presses against my cheek as George ties it behind my neck.

“Please.” I mumble against the gag, my ears being met with a mere hum. George smirked at the response.

“That’s better.”

George pumps his cock, his eyes wandering up and down my body. My body is on full display for him. Only him.

“Gorgeous.” My face heats up at his compliment. George runs his cock up and down my slit, collecting my wetness on the tip causing it to glisten in the light.

“Please.” I cry out, the gag causing my words to muffle into a hum.

“Cock hungry slut.” George slides into me fast, my walls instantly contracting around him. I moan loud, the gag vibrating against my tongue.

George chuckles, pinching my nipples as he thrusts in and out of me. I pull on the cuffs, wanting to touch him. His lips trail down my neck, capturing my nipple between his teeth. His tongue swirls around the hardened nub, sucking on the skin. George sucks the plump flesh, littering the skin with his mark. Purple and pink hickies covering each breast.

“So wet for me.” His warm breath fans against my neck as he whispers, his teeth biting my earlobe. I wrap my legs around his waist, pulling him in deeper. My back arches into his chest, his cock rubbing against my sweet spot. His whispered words causing my pussy to clench around him, tingles flowing through my body with every thrust.

“Made for me.”

“All mine.”

“Good girl.”

My eyes flutter closed, focusing on the pleasure flowing through my body. The vibration shakes my legs once again, the vibrator pressed against my clit.

“Mmm, you love this, I can feel it.” George smirks, slowing his thrusts to watch himself disappear inside of me. The sound of my wet pussy filling the air.

“Yes, yes, yes”

George rubs the vibrator against my clit, the vibrations and the circles causing my eyes to roll back. I rock my hips up to meet his thrusts, pulling on the cuffs as I chase my high.

“Cum baby.”

I moan his name loud, my legs shaking round his waist as I cum around his cock. The vibrations make my clit more sensitive. The aftershocks of my orgasm twitching through my body. Tears prick at my eyes, the over stimulation causing my clit to ache.

“One more baby, fuck, i’m close.”

“You’re doing so well.”

The tears fall freely down my cheeks, the gag slightly dribbling spit down my lips.

My body tenses, my back arching as my second orgasm wrecks me. George moans loud, His cock twitching inside of me, he pulls the vibrator from my clit, his hands falling to my hips, pulling my body closer to his, his warm cum coating my walls.

George pulls out of me, walking to grab a towel from our ensuite and softly cleaning me up. The bumps against my clit caused my body to jolt, goosebumps washing over my skin. He uncuffs my hands, allowing for me to take the gag off.

“Wow.”

“Wasn’t too much?”

I shake my head, using a separate towel to wipe my face.

“New, different, but so good.” I smile up at George, his eyes flicking to my lips before pulling me closer to him, kissing me softly as if I would break under pressure.

“Let me get the wine.”

I sigh deeply, slight exhaustion hitting me. A love drunk smile dancing across my lips.

“Here love.” I take the glass from George’s hand, smiling up at him. Sipping the red liquid, the sweet yet slightly sour grape taste washed over my taste buds.

“I love you Y/n.”

“I love you too.”

End of all things [2] | Chat Noir x witch!reader

Fandom: MIraculous Ladybug (Adrien Agreste/ Chat Noir)

Request:”Hello good evening, could you please do where a witch!Reader who always tries to comfort Chat/Adrian when he is feeling down. Cuz you know in season 4 I noticed he’s getting sadder and sadder. The reader doesn’t like to get involved in all these weird happenings and just lay low. Whenever Chat/Adrian comes to the reader’s house they always make him feel at home. That's when things go off, at the final battle where Hawkmoth got the Miraculouses and the heroes thought they would lose. (Y/n) just landed in front of them looking so done with Hawkmoth.Hawkmoth thinks that (y/n) was just a weakling, but he was wrong. (Y/n) is far stronger than Hawkmoth even he will use the all Miraculouses he’ll still lose.”

Genre: Angst

Warnings: canon typical violence

A/N: It is incredibly late right now, I hope this piece makes sense and that you like it! It was a cool request, but complicated for sure :))

Part 1

~~~

You could have sworn that time stopped altogether at that moment. Somehow, even though the disappointment of having lost and the worry you felt for your best friend, you found a little power to look at Hawkmoth. You expected him to be joyful, restless! You expected him to have already put on both the miraculouses and yet, they were resting in his palm. His eyes weren’t even on them.

“Adrien?” he looked at the broken boy on the ground

“We’re not over yet!” he yelled, running towards Hawkmoth as fast as he could, but it didn’t matter how much will to fight he had anymore! Adrien’s body was going numb. It was giving up on him. And Hawkmoth was gaining more power and energy with every second that went by. The villain grabbed the boy by the shoulder, immobilizing him to his chest, the same way you had done with Marinette

“You are weak and powerless without your ring, boy. Stop it at once!”

“No!” the desperation in his voice made your heart crumble

You felt Marinette stir in your hold. You knew she must have been awake and watching by now, but you didn’t let go. You had been unable to protect Chat from losing his powers, from wasting his energy by squirming in the arms of the enemy. You’ll be damned if you let anything happen to Ladybug now! Because even if this was the end, even if they’d never get their powers back, Marinette and Adrien will always be Ladybug and Chat Noir.

Tears fell from your face as you watched your friend kick and scream in fear and frustration. His hair was sticking to his forehead with beads of sweat

You weren’t sure what you could read within Hawkmoth’s facial expression, but you could tell it wasn’t the confidence from a minute ago. Neither the focus. You could still do something! Under your breath, you began to mutter a chant. You had never tried this specific spell before, but there was nothing left to lose. It was supposed to attract an object of your choosing, to you. Focusing on the image of the miraculouses, held captive in Hawkmoth’s iron grip, you prayed it’d work.

“I don’t want to have to kill you Adrien!” finally, the boy managed to escape and take a few steps back

“What do you care? Just a moment ago you would have done anything it took to get rid of me and Marinette!”

Hawkmoth turned around to face you almost instantly, noticing the movement of your lips.

“Stop that!”

You saw his fist tighten and shake slightly. His fear was all the motivation you needed! Your chants grew louder and louder, more confident and powerful. Hawkmoth placed both his hands around the jewelry in an attempt to prevent it from reaching you. Finally, there was a chance you could still win this!

And then there was a hand on your mouth.

And a kick on the inside of your knee.

You fell to the ground in pain, as the person behind you pushed you harder against the concrete. Right then, was the first time you heard Marinette say anything that day.

“Rena?” her voice broken with despair

“I've never akumatized a hero before” you heard Hawkmoth’s taunting laugh “Can you imagine the possibilities Y/N?”

Tears were brimming in your eyes. Rena was forcing you to the ground with all her force. You heard Adrien call out your name, but you couldn’t bring yourself to look at him. You had to find a way out of this but exhaustion was catching up to you quickly. You weren’t used to fights! You weren’t used to such powerful spells within such a short period of time!

With all the strength in your body, you focused again on an imaginary spot, in the middle of it all. You closed your eyes and imagined the ball of energy growing bigger and bigger, somewhere between you and Hawkmoth. Winds picked up speed around you. You opened your eyes slightly, and all you could see was Marinette’s horrified look, but you didn’t care. Not anymore. As long as you were still conscious, the fight would go on. The ball of energy went off again, creating the same bomb effect as in the beginning of the fight. Rena flew off of you, allowing you to move just in time to see Hawkmoth fly into a tree, and drop not only the black cat and ladybug miraculouses, but the butterfly one as well.

It seemed like the magic brooch had come undone from the impact. All 3 jewels fell to the ground and Hawkmoth was swallowed by a purple light. As the detransformation came to an end, all that was left was an unconscious Gabriel Agreste

“Dad?” Adrien’s voice felt like a punch in the heart. You couldn’t tell if he was angry or sad. His eyes turned almost red and he took off running after his father, but you were faster and caught up to him before he could reach Gabriel. You tackled him to the ground to prevent him from waking up the villain and possibly causing more chaos.

“Wait, Adrien, we need the miraculouses!”

“No, what I need is to talk to my DAD!”

“Adrien please!” you could barely manage to keep him from squirming underneath you

“Of course” Marinette replied slowly before holding out her hand. You let go of Adrien, but he didn’t get up. He just placed his right hand on top of Marinette’s, as she carefully slipped the ring on his finger, back where it belonged.

You heard rapid footsteps come your way and saw Marinette run towards the miraculouses, picking all of them in her hand and hugging them to her chest.You couldn’t even imagine the relief she must have felt! She looked like finally, everything in the world was right again. It gave you hope! Adrien visibly relaxed as he watched her too.

“Can I have Plagg back?” he sobbed

Plagg flew out, looking sacred and in distress, but he tried to smile for his boy.

“I’m sorry Plagg.'' the kwami didn’t say anything, choosing instead to nuzzle himself in the crook of Adrien’s neck, in a hug. The boy placed his hand on top of him and began to sob quietly. Your heart sank at the sight and you couldn’t help but let yourself fall on top of Adrien again and wrapping him in another hug. You could hear every beat of his heart and every sorrowful tear rolling down his cheeks. The noise was so loud, you almost didn’t hear Marinette transform back into her heroine self.

You opened your eyes to see her tying up Gabriel, alongside Rena. She gave you a nod, letting you know they got it from here.

“Adrien?” Gabriel whispered slowly. It seemed like he had finally woken up. The boy beneath you slowly raised his head to meet the glance of his dad. Immediately, he pushed you off in order to run to him

“Father. It’s ok! It’s gonna be ok! It’s a misunderstanding, isn’t it?” Adrien ran to him, hopefulness in his voice like he didn’t know he was merely kidding himself

“I did it for a good cause Adrien…”

“No...you didn’t” he insisted

“One day you’ll understand”

Adrien stepped away from the weak body of his father, suddenly horrified at the realisation that Hawkmoth was, indeed, no one other than his own dad. He turned around to see you and Plagg still on the ground where he left you. Tears were quickly making their way back into his eyes as he rushed to you, throwing himself into your open arms. Ladybug picked Gabriel up, and dragged him away, with Rena right on her tail.

Adrien’s cries were muffled by your hair, but his words were still audible, at least to you

“He was my father! All this time”

“I failed everyone”

“No you didn’t Adrien”

“You didn’t know”

“I let myself be vulnerable and gave him the opportunity to take away my miraculous! I could have lost Plagg forever! I let Ladybug down! She lost her earrings and got akumatized and I couldn’t do anything about it!”

“Stop Adrien. It’s ok. It’s all gonna be ok” you tightened your grip around his body “eventually…”

Chase

October 1st

Summary: Wilbur catches Purpled trying to play a prank on him, chaos ensues anyways.

———————————————————————

“Drop it.” Wilbur’s stern voice came from behind Purpled.

Purpled yelped, whipping his head around and meeting Wilbur’s gaze daringly. He had Wilbur’s famed yellow sweater in his hands and had planned to hide it as a harmless prank. However, the musician got back much faster than Purpled anticipated.

“Or what?” Purple questioned, still clutching the fabric.

Wilbur chuckled. “Or I’m coming to get it.”

Purple smirked. “Yeah okay, whatever you say.” He walked away from the closet, standing closer to the door that was blocked by Wilbur.

“Alright. Ready or not, here I come.” Wilbur said teasingly. He stalked towards the smaller boy with outstretched arms, ready to either get his sweatshirt or catch the little thief.

Purpled pretended to run one way but changed direction at the last second, making Wilbur stumble. “HA! Got them ankles!” He laughed at himself and the surprise on Wilbur’s face as he booked it down the hall.

He quickly ran into the taller figure of Philza, stumbling into his arms. “Sorry! Excuse me-“ He twisted away and kept running. He turned around when he heard Wilbur shout.

“Don’t just stand there, Phil. Get him!”

‘Oh shit’ Purpled though. He knew he could outrun Wilbur, but Phil was unnaturally fast.

Phil laughed, giving into the chase.

And that’s how Purpled ended up running away from half of the SBI in their own household. It was a rather nerve racking situation if you were to ask Purpled.

“You really think you can outrun me, mate?” Phil tsked, speeding up.

Wilbur wasn’t far behind Phil and managed to catch the elder’s eye and signal to him that he was going to wait until Purpled came at the intersection of their house.

The way the SBI house was set up, if you were to go into the kitchen, you could go down a small hallway leading to the laundry room. This hallway also connected to the living room, which was where Purpled seemed to be heading. So Wilbur decided to take a cut through the kitchen and meet him in the middle.

It was a rather brilliant plan.

Phil kept Purpled distracted with small teases and speeding up so he was right on the younger’s tail.

“I’m gonna get’cha, Purp!” He called.

Purpled gasped, realizing how close Phil was. “Not by being that slow you won’t.” He lied. He knew just how much trouble he was in, and he loved it.

Phil only laughed, “I’ll make you regret that later.” He promised lightheartedly.

Purpled felt butterflies flutter in his stomach at the threat. A quiet flustered whine escaping his mouth. He ran through a hall and saw the living room with a hallway connected. ‘Perfect!’ He thought to himself. He was sure he could escape here.

As he made his way towards the hallway, he got a strange feeling in his chest, but ignored it in favor of running. He rounded the corner of the hallway and ran face first into Wilbur’s outstretched arms.

“NO!” He cried, “No no noho! Get ohoff me!”

He was turned around so his back was on Will’s chest and met Phil’s eyes.

“Oh, giggling already are we? You know, the only one who does that is Tubbo, and he’s the most ticklish person I’ve ever met. I wonder if you’re as bad?” Phil asked.

Purpled shook his head, “I’m not!”

Wilbur hummed, “Are you sure?”

Purpled nodded frantically.

Philza shook his head, “I don’t think he’s sure.”

Will nodded understandingly, “Yeah, I really think we should check for him.”

“There’s really no need for that-“

“Oh no, we insist. Here let me get these arms out of the way for you, Phil.” Wilbur said with a smile in his voice, clearly enjoying the flustered puddle he had in his grasp.

Purpled put up minimal resistance as Wilbur let go of him to grab both of his wrists and hoist them above his head. Only whining through his already very present giggles.

Phil rested his hands on Purpled’s ribs, delighted by the squeal that tore through the room when he wiggled them.

“Surely it can’t be that bad.” Phil spoke.

“Ihihit tihihickles!”

Phil’s fatherly instincts kicked in and he felt his heart swell out of sheer adoration. “Aww” he cooed, “I’m sure it does. But this’ll be so much worse.”

He dropped his hands to squeeze st Purpled’s hips, paying special attention to the dips where a bundle of nerves was located.

Purpled squealed and bucked his hips. “WAHAHAIT! COHOhome ohoHOHON!”

The sensations swirled wonderfully and torturously around his abdomen. Jolts of electricity seemed to shoot through him whenever Phil found a particularly good spot.

“You know,” Wilbur said, “For someone named Purpled, you sure are red right now.” He blew a stream of air onto the back of Purpled’s neck and ears, making him squeak and scrunch up his neck.

“NOHOT THEHEHERE!” Purple yelped out through his near hysterical laughter.

Wilbur laughed as Phil brough one hand to scratch around Purpled’s neck, sometimes straying to his collar bones or jaw to get better reactions.

Purpled went slack in Wil’s hold, his head shaking from side to side as childlike laughter spilled from his lips.

It was when Phil specifically focused on his collar bones that Purpled finally called out. “PLEHEHEASE, I CAHAHAN’T! I GIHIVE!”

At the words, Wilbur let go of his hands. He gripped Purpled around the middle so he wouldn’t fall to the ground

Phil, however, moved to his shoulders and kept going. “Do you regret calling me slow?” He questioned, spidering his fingers around the front of his shoulders.

Purpled laughter was much more gentle now, now filled with squeaks and hiccups. “Nohoho.”

Wilbur rolled his eyes as Phil rubbed his hands together, “Right, round two!”

Eventually, Purpled did have to apologize. But only after countless raspberries were placed on the crook of his neck. Phil accepted the apology, nudging both of his friends towards the living room so they could all settle down.

I’m Right Here

Corpse Husband x Reader (Female)

Warnings: Mentions of a car accident (minor), Injuries

Genre: Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff

Summary: There is nothing scarier than those moments when every breath you take is shallow; when your heart is racing and your body is drenched in cold sweat. When you are rushing to the aid of a hurt loved one, knowing you can never be fast enough because your mind and fear are at least a mile ahead of you. Corpse has to experience these exact moments after a frightening call that informs him of his girlfriend’s car accident.

Requested by @sugiliteshadow . Hi! Thank you so much for you request, darling. Sorry to be posting it so late and I can’t thank you enough for your patience. I hope the fic itself makes up for the wait. Please enjoy! Stay safe! Love, Vy ❤

It’s been about an hour since I got off the phone with Y/N and my concern is through the roof. She called me from the parking lot of the office building where she works at, telling me she’s be home in less than half an hour and asking if I needed her to pick up anything along the way. I have been trying to brush away the worries, comforting myself with the fact that I did request a specific type of iced tea and knowing Y/N, she’s probably looking for it in multiple stores because she couldn’t find it in the convenience store that’s along her way back home. I should’ve told her not to sweat it considering I don’t need it right away or anything. I have tried distracting myself with editing just to hinder myself from picking up my phone and debating weather to call her or not. I may be worried but I don’t wanna put her life in danger by calling her while she’s driving.

I keep my hands on my keyboard and mouse, my phone halfway across the room just in case. Another thirty minutes pass by with no sound of the door being unlocked or even a car pulling up. My fingers are beginning to drum over the buttons on my keyboard anxiously. I have had to go back and redo so many things with the video I’m editing because my mind simply isn’t present. It’s wandering around the city, looking for that one familiar car that’s always outside our house, parked in the driveway. That’s currently being driven by my girlfriend of two years Y/N.

My phone’s ringtone snaps me out of the downwards spiral of my thoughts, simultaneously picking up the speed of my heartbeat. I basically launch myself out of my chair and towards the bed where the ringing is coming from. I feel a wave of relief rush over me when I see Y/N’s name on the lit screen.

“Hey babe, where have you been?“ I ask as soon as I answer the call. It feels like my whole body shuts down when I finally pick up on the sound of blaring sirens in the background.

“Sir, I’m sorry to inform you Miss Y/L/N has been in an accident.” The words the female voice on the phone says cut through me like a knife, sending chills of paralyzing fear all over my body, “You were the last person she contacted before the accident which is why we’ve stepped in contact with you. However, if you are not able to come collect Miss Y/L/N, please contact a family member of hers.“

The calmness of her tone is freaking me out of my skin and mind, “Is she ok?! Where is she?!“

“She’s alright, sir. She’s not completely conscious yet, though. But she will be by the time you arrive. Her injuries are not in any way life-threatening. She has a few cuts and bruises and a concussion. A medical team has already taken care of her.“

Before I know it, I’m already out the door, the location the policewoman gave me in my head as I get behind the wheel of my car which I rarely use. Thankfully, the road the accident happened on is less than fifteen minutes away. Due to the late hour there is close to no traffic on the roads so I make it to the scene in no time. Y/N’s car is surrounded by two cop cars and two ambulances. I barely even notice the black Honda Civic that is almost equally as beat up as Y/N’s Toyota. Speaking of the Toyota, its front bumper is completely obliterated - the headlights, blinkers and windshield in pieces and shards on the pavement.

In the first ambulance there’s a guy passed out on a gurney with an ivy rip connected to his arm. In the one next to it is Y/N, sitting hunched over with her head hanging low, her hair falling over her face.

“Y/N?“ I rush over to her, reaching out to touch her shoulder but withdrawing my arm in case she has a bruise in that spot.

She lifts her head, a look of relief and happiness flashing across her face. She lets out a sigh, a small smile appearing on her lips as her eyes fill with tears. “Corpse...” her hand reaches out for mine which is still hanging in the air. I give her my other hand and she uses me as support to slowly stand up. She lets go of my hands and wraps her arms around me in a tight hug as a quiet sob leaves her chest. “I was so scared when I woke up. I couldn’t remember anything.”

“It’s ok, you’re ok now. I’m here, I’m right here.“ I gently smooth her hair while carefully holding her in my embrace. She has a few purple bruises along her arms and cuts on her cheek and neck which are covered in white bandages with small dark red stains. The most major thing I can see is the cut on her left temple which is also covered up. I press a tender kiss to the right one. “Are you in any pain?“ I pull away to get a better look at her.

Thankfully she shakes her head, “No, I’m ok. My elbow hurts a little but that’s it.”

I nod, moving a strand of hair behind her ear, kissing her forehead. Just as I’m about to ask her what exactly happened one one of the police officers approaches us.

“A drunk driver. He ran the red light and crashed straight into her car.“ The officer says, judging by her voice it’s the same woman that called me. “You don’t remember that, do you?“

Y/N turns to her, “I just remember hearing a loud crash and then darkness. I didn’t know what had happened until you told me when I woke up.”

The policewoman gives us a sincere smile, lightly touching Y/N’s shoulder “It’s ok, sweetheart. You are alright, that’s what matters. And you have someone here by your side.”

Y/N’s eyes meet mine when she gives me the most loving glance, the one that I often catch in her eyes - the one that always melts me. “He always is.” she says, running her fingers down my arm, interlocking hers with mine when they reach my hand.

The policewoman tells us good night and walks over to the other ambulance. We stick around to see the cars get taken away and Y/N gives her info so they can contact her when the car is repaired. I know how much she loves that car - it’s the first and only car she has ever owned. She has had it for about seven years and calls it her child basically. I never thought I’d be jealous of a car in my life - just kidding. But my point has been made - she’s never been apart from it or driven another car.

Wrapping my arm around her while she watches her car being taken away, I turn her around, leading her towards my car. “Let’s get you home. You’ll be 100% under my care and no complaints will be accepted.”

She rolls her eyes playfully, snuggling up into my side, “Don’t make a big deal about this please. And, for the love of God, don’t baby me too much, ok?”

I grin down at her, “What was that, I didn’t quite catch it?“

“Corpseeee...“ She pouts, a frown on her face, making her look so childish it’s absolutely adorable.

“Save the whining, it ain’t gonna work.“ I open the door to the passenger seat, stepping aside so she can get in the my car.

Surprisingly enough, she actually doesn’t complain the rest of the way home nor when we arrive. Nor when I instruct her to stay in bed and not move unless it’s absolutely necessary. I basically bring all the snacks from the kitchen into our room while she compiles a list of movies we will be watching because no sleep will be had tonight. “I love you.“ Y/N says through a sigh halfway through the second movie.

“I love you too. But don’t fall asleep.“ I tickle her side, causing her to giggle and squirm in an attempt to get away from me.

“Ok, ok, but you’re gonna have to help me. If I blink, I’ll be a goner.“ She yawns, shuffling back towards me. When she flashes me that hinting wide smile, I know exactly what she’s insinuating.

I sigh, giving in with ease. “When you were here before...“

“Couldn’t look you in the eye...“ she backs me up just as I knew she would

“You’re just like an angel...“

“Your skin makes me cry...“

Needless to say, we end up duetting random songs - rap songs, heavy metal, pop songs, some of my songs, some Christmas songs, Disney songs - making it one of the best movie marathons we’ve ever had, the unfortunate events of the day far behind us and completely gone from our minds.

Orchids of Doriath

I love doing general flora and fauna posts but I can’t fit everything in them so I’m trying to make more specific ones as well! please please feel free to send categories to work on with locations! Or any environmental world building asks!

Note that while I have many specific headcanons about the environment of Doriath, I’m always happy to take suggestions or write environment posts based on specific places (like I did with the Havens based on Southwest Australia)

Ferns of Doriath, Mosses of Doriath, Flowers of the March of Maedhros

Orchids are beloved and unique family of flowers due to their wide range of species, fascinating ecology (many grow exclusively upon other plants and obtain moisture from them, some are even parasitic, etc) and beautiful appearance. They grow throughout the world in tropical, subtropical and temperate climates

In the real world, they hold significance in many cultures, sometimes signifying elegance, growth, beauty, or in rare cases, meanings related to the parasitism of some species.

In Doriath, orchid species grow in all parts of the kingdom, in all forests. They also grow both in and around Menengroth with several species brought and cultivated by Melian herself.

Here are my thoughts for a collection of species inspiration for Doriath

and, like my post on ferns, I am going to add some world building notes at the end so it's not just listing species

Region:

Many orchids prefer calcareous soil (I’ve written before about how Region with its Holly trees and caves likely has high alkaline) so many species of orchids grow in Region

The green winged orchid grows in grassy knolls around the alkaline soil of Menengroth. The early spider orchid grows on the banks of Esgalduin near the entrances to Menengroth along with green flowered helloborine and dark red helloborine.

Lady slippers orchid grows in the more open spaces as well as the greater butterfly orchid.

Heath spotted orchids grow by streams.

The early purple orchid grows mostly in Region and Neldoreth. The lizard orchard is found in Region and Nivrim in more open areas

Neldoreth

White helloborine grows primarily in Neldoreth but can be found around Menengroth in Region too. It prefers beech forests. Red helloborine grows only in the drier parts of Neldoreth and green flowered helloborine grows in Neldoreth and Nivrim.

Three toothed orchids grow in Neldoreth and occasionally in Nivrim

Bird’s nest orchids also favor beechwoods and so grow in Neldoreth Lesser butterfly orchids grow primarily in Neldoreth but occasionally grow in Region too.

Nivrim:

White egret flowers can be found in the marshes south of Nivrim

Sword leaved helliborine lives in swampy forests and so grows throughout Nivrim. Violet birds nest orchid grows in Nivrim as does lizard orchid

Yellow bee orchids live in the drier areas of Nivrim along with Epipactis tremolsii.

Nivrim, Region and Neldoreth

Pale orchids grow in open spaces and by the waters

Common twayblade grow in drier areas

Arthórien: ( I headcanon that Arthórien has a markedly different climate than the rest of Doriath for a number of reasons: the cultivation and practices of the green elves who live there, slightly different elevation (based largely on my own speculation), the rivers, and some intervention by Melian. )

Aerides lawrenceae grows in the forests here as does Acampe rigida Common Christmas orchid, blood stained dendrobium

Marsh helloborine, soldier orchids and fairy orchids grow by the waters and winter orchids grow in more open spaces.

Creeping forest orchids grow here and occasionally over the river in Neldoreth.

All:

Ghost orchids grow sparsely throughout Doriath . Musk orchids more commonly so as do species of wide lip orchids

Bog orchids grow by the rivers and in marshier areas of all four forests

Significance to the Sindar and Nandor of Doriath:

It's interesting to note that no word for orchid appears in any of Tolkien's languages. I was surprised to find this as they are such a wide and varied family of flowers and he was so interested in botany! So any of the notes on language here are my own headcanon. I have not yet come up with a word for them in Sindarin yet (I probably won't be able to do Nandorin as our knowledge of it is much more limited) but I will try to!

Orchids are beloved by the elves of Doriath. A number of species grow within the sacred gardens of Menengroth and others are specially cultivated by the servants of Melian. Species like bee orchids are only found in the gardens of Menengroth and the servants and students of Melian often experiment with their pollination and cultivation, sometimes creating new varieties.

Orchids in the Sindarin language and knowledge are distinguished by their unique petals and stems and asymmetrical bodies as well as their behavior and pollination patterns. Their growth is sometimes associated with places of magic and twilight

Though the flowers themselves are not disliked by the Silvan elves, some of their number in Doriath associate the natural growth of orchids with places of tragedy. They are also associated with transitional ecosystems and with shadier parts of the woods.

As always please feel free to ask more. I love talking about ecology stuff and the relationship of people and elves to the natural world
