In my silly headcanons, yes. :p I imagine intimacy to be very casual, and even romantic affections among friends to be the norm. There'd still be degrees of how serious a relationship is, with most gems considering their battle partner to also be their primary romantic partner, but intimacy outside of that relationship with even casual acquaintances is seen as entirely normal and unremarkable.

I also imagine jealousy would be less pronounced due to the gems' potentially unlimited lifespans, considering the sheer magnitude of time you can devote to your primary relationship(s).

Secret Life Session #6: Amount of hearts & Hearts gifted

Session 6, amirite? (🥲)

Afaik- Martyn, Jimmy and Scar did not gift, but feel free to correct me!

[ID: A graphic that is divided into four separate images. The first three images are captioned "Number of hearts" and display the head of each player's minecraft skin and their respective amount of hearts, which life they are on and whether they completed their task. Etho has 30 hearts; Scar has 23; Cleo has 22.5; Pearl has 15.5; Impulse has 11.5 and Scott has 0.5. On their yellow life are Bigb, Bdubs, Grian and Skizz with 30 hearts; Gem with 28.5 and Joel with 20.5. Martyn is on his red life and has 30 hearts. Mumbo, Jimmy and Lizzie are out of the series. Joel and Mumbo failed their tasks. Etho and Grian succeeded on hard tasks. The fourth image is captioned "Hearts gifted" and shows the head of each player's skin followed by an arrow that points the that of another, indicating the gifting of hearts. Bigb, Skizz, Tango and and Pearl gave their hearts to Bdubs; Impulse and Scott gifted theirs to Gem; Etho and Joel gifted theirs to Grian; Lizzie and Cleo gifted theirs to Skizz; Gem gifted theirs to Impulse; Bdubs gifted theirs to Pearl; Grian gifted theirs to Joel and Mumbo gifted theirs to Scar.

[Image ID: two versions of a digital painting of Blaze the Cat. They are based on a Trollhunters screenshot, but replacing Jim with an AU Blaze design.

Blaze wears armor similar to Percival's in Sonic and the Black Knight: small, rounded shoulder pauldrons, metal gloves with flared cuffs, and a metal chest plate on her torso with armor pieces hanging from the hips, resembling a tailcoat. Inset in the chest plate, above where her heart would be, is a gold amulet housing a shard of a red gem.

Along with the armor, Blaze wears her usual gold necklace and red bindi. Each gauntlet has a simple curling design on the top, with a red jewel inset in the center, matching her bindi. Under the armor she wears a white bodysuit, covering her legs and arms.

In the first version, Blaze is in her normal form, with lavender fur and yellow eyes. Her hair is not tied up but falling loose down her back, and violet bangs partly cover her bindi. Her armor is a silver-purple color.

In the second version, Blaze is in her Burning form. Her fur is pink, and her armor and blade are both gold rather than silver. A gold circlet pulls her hair back - not that it's needed, as both her hair and the tip of her tail have turned to scarlet flame. Her eyes, too, have the appearance of fire.

In both versions, Blaze stands against a stormy background, looming over the viewer. In her right hand she holds a flame. In her left, she holds her sword from Sonic and the Black Knight, pointed down at someone unseen. Lightning flashes behind her as she looks down at her opponent with an unreadable expression, eyes glowing gold. /end ID]

For the glory of Solaris, Sunlight is mine to command.

last Friday I had this all prepped and ready to post, wrote a whole long explanation of this AU's lore, and then the page reloaded and I lost the entire thing--or I thought I did, only for it to turn out the draft just saved to my main instead of here. so. see below for the referenced screenshot, an explanation of the AU, and some concept sketches.

[Image ID: a screenshot from the computer animated Trollhunters series. In the screenshot Jim, wearing his Trollhunter armor, stands against a stormy sky. He points his sword down towards something offscreen, his expression unreadable. Lightning flashes behind him. /end ID]

So a while back I got really into Tales of Arcadia with my brothers. it was brief, as my interests go, but during that time I, as is my wont, came up with a needlessly complicated Sonic AU starring Blaze the Cat. Because I never go about things halfway, I not only watched Trollhunters, 3Below, and Wizards, but I also went and read the original Trollhunters novel and some of the comics (and I would have read all the other novels too if they'd been available in our library and my interest had lasted longer).

Hence! The Sunhunter AU! It was originally called Shadowhunters, but I have too many AUs with "shadow" in the title anyway, and Sunhunter is more fitting anyway. Basic premise is that Blaze is the eponymous Sunhunter, and has been since she was a child, when she discovered the existence of the underworld and accidentally bonded with the amulet in a definitely-not-traumatic, totally-not-a-Disney-parent-death incident. Essentially, she fuses the roles of Jim from the show and Jack from the novel.

Blaze takes her duty extremely seriously and invests the bare minimum of time in her civilian identity. Who needs a childhood when there's an entire world to singlehandedly defend, amirite? Certainly not when the Black Arms are dangerously close to escaping and dooming the surface and the underworld both. But protagonists never get what they want.

With everything on her shoulders, it was only a matter of time until Blaze stumbled - and Marine was there to see it. Now she has to protect/put up with this young raccoon girl who refuses to leave her alone. This definitely will not lead to any burgeoning friendships, the development of a much needed support system, or discoveries about her enemies that she never would have made alone. No sir.

also it's Sonaze. because of course it is.

now for the concept sketches

that's right, we do speedpaints now! I mean, Procreate's always saved time lapses of my art, but now I'm actually going to try and share them! maybe! sometimes!

As you can see, I have a few different ideas for the exact mechanics of this AU. The first route would be to have humans still be, well, humans, and Mobians are either the equivalent of trolls, or a type of troll. This could be fun, but I doubt I'll go this route, since I like my silly little cartoon animals to stay silly little cartoon animals.

The other option is to have mobians living alongside humans, as in Sonic canon. From there I could either keep trolls the same as they are in Trollhunters canon, or replace them/supplement them with a Mobian equivalent. I do have the beginnings of some lore ideas for Mobians being split between the surface and the underground...

Weekly theme : Trafficshipping Takeover (technically)

Premise : Set in Limited Life, when the session ends and the timers pause. With Grian’s questionable methods of embarrassing his friend, Etho discovers he has a type.

—

“Etho, I’ve noticed. You have a type.” Grian teased.

“What?-“

“Don’t act like you don’t know.” Grian rebutted before witnessing the confusion on his silver-haired friend’s face.

“Oh, you don’t.” He said with a devious grin.

“I don’t like where this is going…”

“Too bad!”

—

Grian was dragging Etho along the pathway to the Clockers Tower. How much muscle did this little man have-

“CLEO!! BDUBS!! Are you home??”

Grian knocked on the iron door insistently. Scar opened the door as he called out to Cleo and Bdubs.

“Welcome! Welcome! Favorite cousin,,, dad.”

Scar greeted enthusiastically, then not.

“Let’s keep the roleplay to a minimum- we’re here talk about romance.” Grian warned as Cleo came down the ladder and Bdubs emerged from behind a wall.

“Ooh, whose love life are we gossiping about?” Cleo interjected.

Grian playfully shoved Etho in front of him. The Clockers got the memo.

“I’ve got reason to believe this fella has a type.”

“Fun!” Scar exclaimed as he led the guests to the dinner table.

“So, Mr. Slab. Men and women amirite?” Cleo laughed from across the table, “Yep.” He returned with a snicker.

“He does have a thing for women who can intimidate him.” Bdubs mentioned offhandedly.

“Oh, and both of the ladies that he’s into are gingers.” Scar pondered.

“Unrelated maybe, but they both happen to be bisexual too.” Grian said. Etho buried his face into his mask.

“Okay! If I knew this was going to be a teasing-Etho-for-who-he-fancies I wouldn’t have come here!” Cleo laughed at that and strutted over to him. “I think you not knowing was the point.” She paused, holding his chin up.

“He wouldn’t have shown up at all if I didn’t drag him here.” Grian interjected.

“Hey!- wait, he’s my boyfriend stop wooing him, mom- Cleo.” Bdubs corrected himself. Scar and Grian snickered to each other, the former jolted when he heard knocking on the door to see Joel and Timmy standing outside.

He graciously let them in and alerted all who was inside of more guests. Cleo sat on the armrest of Etho’s seat, keeping firm eye contact with Bdubs. Etho was red as Grian’s sweater, and Grian himself was waving for the other two to sit next to him.

“What are we talking about?” Timmy asked, to which he got an instantaneous reply from Scar. “Teasing dad- Etho for his tastes in romance.”

“As in, who he’s into or like what he’s into?” Joel raised an eyebrow.

“The former, but if we have time I’d like to know the latter.” Grian answered with a smirk. “That got off topic. Say, I think he’s into short men.” Etho’s eyes darted to the two short men in question and buried himself deeper into his clothing.

“The viscous if given the chance kind.” Timmy added.

“Wait- no- don’t lump me with the rest of that strange polycule Tim!” Grian hastily thought for a moment. The rest, excluding the blushing party laughed.

“I got it! He’s into people who are green!”

Sounds of acknowledgment filled the room with chuckles and snickers.

“Guess we’ve solved that.” Scar said proudly, then paused. “Does this mean that Etho’s into Doc?”

“Considering the whole anvil war thing still going on at Hermitcraft, I think so.” Cleo stated, ruffling silver hair through her fingers.

—

(If who he’s into isn’t as obvious as I thought it was, the green bisexual gingers are Cleo and Gem, the short green viscous men are Bdubs and Joel, left ambiguous but at this point he might as well like him, Doc.)

-🎨 anon <3

Etho is. Well. It's a little embarrassing he is so easy to read - he never thought he was! But when he's over his embarrassment it's... Kind of sweet. In a way. That people take the time to notice these things about him.

But, no, Grian, Joel is not talking about what he's into in bed, especially not at their dinner table!

various hermit (and empires) dooods

[image description: a collection of digital doodles of various people from Hermitcraft. The first is a two panel comic featuring Impulse, Pearl and Gem. Impulse is smiling with his hands on his hips, saying “It’s nice of you to make Bdubs some soup!” Gem responds with “Yep!” while upturning a tub labelled ‘poison’ with a skull and crossbones on it into a large cauldron. Pearl is stirring the contents of the cauldron, looking over to Gem awkwardly.

The next page is of a doodle of Scar in his season 8 tycoon skin, holding up a rose and winking. Written next to the doodle is “awooga” with a face with hearts for eyes, and “call that a hot guy, amirite?” The last page is two doodles featuring empires members. The first is of Jimmy and Tango, holding hands and smiling, surrounded by hearts, yelling “MY RANCHER!!!” The second is Doc, with his hands casually in his pockets, looking down at Mayor Lizzie, who is pointing off screen.

Fic Rec Wednesday

Hey hey! So while I actually am hard at work on CO content for the Picture Book Project (several illustrations of the gang in third year for @captain-aralias’ amazing take on Simon Snow and the Third Gate), I have nothing that’s really ready for main in terms of sharing. Thanks to everyone who continues to tag me over these past weeks (I tag you all back under the cut for today, or Sunday or to share your own fic recs)! I do love to see what you all are working on even when I have nothing shareable.

I thought I might do a little fic rec post today instead, dedicated to one-shots that were posted in the mad rush of December that I love and think are a little underappreciated. There’s such a flood of amazing content during COC that it’s hard to keep up, and then once we move on to January, there’s still new amazing content coming out. As a result there are some real gems that folks may have missed out on. And so, here is a short (no doubt incomplete because I myself am still catching up) list of my fave hidden gems from December 2022.

And We Still Do by @facewithoutheart (T, 8K)

This is the fic that inspired me to write this post, actually, because I was discussing it with @facewithoutheart earlier and saying I can’t believe more folks haven’t read it. Anyway, it’s so great! The story includes a bunch of AU meet-cutes/meet-uglys framed by post-SFC Simon and Baz being fluffy and cute, with a bonus ACTUAL first time they met via the crucible. Each AU is a great little one-shot in itself and to quote the comment I left on AO3, “I loved them all, I would read a full fic of literally ANY of these”. (That is not actually a direct quote because I appear to have misspelled the word “would” somehow, but I digress.) You get post-canon fluff, a Boy Band AU, a Royalty AU, a couple of really neat canon-divergence AUs, and a combo Coffee Shop/Sci Fi AU all rolled into one, with amazing results. I think it’s brilliant like everything that comes from Christina’s mind and everyone should check it out.

Baby It’s Cold by @larkral (T, 2.6K)

This is a post-canon story told through a series of vignettes with Simon helping Baz accept something (something cold, maybe?) about himself in a really cute and creative way. It’s just really sweet, the prose is lovely as one knows to expect from this author, it gave me the warm fuzzies in a major way and guess what else? IT COMES WITH 3D LEGO ART. It’s short and sweet so you have no excuse not to check this one out folks.

Nice Spread by @messofthejess (T, 1.2K)

Post-canon Brobelove! The age old mystery of whether tea actually can be served on Niamh’s thighs is solved! And just generally this is packed with excellent banter, excellent novelty mugs and excellent tea puns. Very fun!

Another Way We Match by @thewholelemon (M, 1.7K)

Gotta include some spice, amirite? This one is post-canon and packed with great dialogue and banter that pays homage to some of my favourite fanworks (This Will All Go Down in Flames by @facewithoutheart, Monsterfucker, Baby by @sillyunicorn and Property of Tyrannus by @starwarned and @seducing-a-vampire, to be specific) in the funnest way. Simon and Baz are doing sexy roleplay! Only all of Simon’s suggestions are causing Baz eye-rolling injuries. Really hilarious, sexy and also with the perfect amount of domestic fluff mixed in. I love me a sex scene full of funny dialogue and awkward moments, and this sure fits the bill.

I could go on and on with this list, only I’m supposed to be working instead of writing this post, so I’ll stop here for now. Hope you all check these out!

[the-witchs-cafe]

A bit more of a meta question than a specific character question: but how do you think kyubey and the witch system work in the pokemon world? Would kyubey perhaps be a legendary, or is he something completely unrelated? Can kyubey and/or witches be caught in poke balls? And what about soul gems?

I'd be lying if I didn't say that I have been seriously brainstorming this for some time. While I do have bits and pieces in my disposal atm, I am more than happy to share them with ya! Hopefully, with time, we could manage to uncover a bigger picture here; see how these small particles of knowledge interconnect with one another to form a constellation like no other.

This is gonna be separated into parts, because, pal, I am gonna unleash levels of autism like no other;

-

Incubators

- H E A V E N S A Y S - "Y O U A R E A N A N G E L !"

So, first thing's first, Kyubey; after looking into his main inspiration, being the Old Ones and any other eldritch horror that is beyond human rationality, I've theorized that perhaps that a whole other incubator species is present within the Pokemon universe. Much like Kyubey, their individual "selves" are little more than parts of a much higher, vaster being that is looking down at humanity with calculative intrigue; striking a single one of them down is an act akin to simply waving your hand in front of their face, which is annoying, but not necessarily harmful. Unlike incubators, though, I can see their designs being more heavenly and digital; focused on what is right or wrong without any of the nuance of humanity, as well as butterflies being a key motif present.

While I am still working on how they would work lore-wise (like, how they came to being in the first place'; perhaps born from the expansion of the universe, as a consequence of Arceus' actions?), I don't think they would be in any way related to Pokemon as a species- rather, they are part of the universe as a whole. Think of the Pokemon universe as an Operating System, and the incubators as an essential application, there to ensure that the OS is running in a stable manner like a sort of booster, and magi are their own anti-viruses.

Aside from emotions and karmic destiny, tho (because I fucking hate Kyubey's justification for why he only contracts with girls in-canon; "oh, girls are just more emotional-" shut up), the incubators of the Pokemon universe also target desire; think visions from Genshin Impact, those whose wishes are so powerful that they rival the very narrative they are in. Those who seek to take charge of their destinies are more than likely to contract.

-

Witches

Regarding witches, I have to make it clear that, no; they're still interdimensional monsters born from curses and are, in fact, the maddened remnants of the souls of the magi they once were trapped in an eternal nightmare. However, it can be said that they would develop certain...quirks depending on the region they hail from. I'm still working on the whole list of regions, but here is what I got so far;

Alola: Community (can call for one another for assistance; battles against one another is rare, as they prefer to team up. More in-tune with the physical world than the rest.) and ??? (something to do with Z-Power, and how it would affect the witches and their barriers; still need to work on that)

Galar: Monarchies (the strongest witch there is crowned as their "ruler"; mirroring the region's celebrity culture and the old monarchs of Britain) and illusions (upon witching out, the magi leave behind "specters" of their former selves; kinda like faceless remnant data of the people they used to be, haunting the places and people that influenced them so until the witch's defeat. This phenomenon is caused by the former trainer's wishing star/dynamax band and the region's power spots.)

Paldea: Regrets/Treasures (still working on that) and paradoxes (how fucked up would it be if you met your future witch form looking down at you and square in the eyes, amirite you guys? Dang it, Sada and Turo...)

Aside from all of the above, if the magi happened to be a Pokemon trainer themselves before falling into despair, I think that their accompanying party 'mons would also be affected. After all, Z-power is drawn from both the trainer and their pokemon, and Mega Evolution's success depends on the bond made with one another. I'm still working on the intricacies, but they might become akin to shadow Pokemon from Pokemon Colosseum/XD: Gale of Darkness; they aren't familiars for the witch, but they would still be driven to insanity by their master's despair and still obey them in this form.

As a side-note, mainly because I am a huge Alola stan, I should state that, through Z-moves, the region technically has something akin to the Doppel system of Magia Record. When your heart is in-tune with your pokemon's, you share one another's hopes, dreams, worries, and despair in the process, before unleashing it all in the form of an as-of-yet unnamed specialized Z-Move. Using them also doesn't pose the risk of contracting Doppel Syndrome, either, but that is due to the following key aspect that separates this universe's doppel system from that of MR's-

You see, these specialized Z-Moves don't completely cleanse the soul gem upon activation; rather, they simply create a sort of equilibrium between the remaining energies of the magi and their 'mon. In a sense, you are sharing your burdens with your buddy by using this power, while also allowing them to lend their energy to you. Think of how the MC would feel exhausted after unleashing Light that Burns the Sky, then imagine the opposite of that.

This method of purifying soul gems is often regarded as an absolute last resort; the thought of risking your Pokemon's health just to make sure you don't kick the bucket is considered to be way too much of a taboo for most people. If used carelessly, then unleashing this power would cause the user to witch out at an even faster rate- perhaps instantly.

Yeah, between the witches that can actually organize and a less-than-stable doppel system, Alola is one of the worst regions to contract in. Too bad most of the residents there have a LOT of Z-power coursing through their veins, making it a sort of incubator/witch hotspot; same goes for Galar and its Dynamax Energies.

My Steven Universe Hot Take™ is that 90% of the way people currently talk about the show is based on about three degrees of separation from the actual show. Real Allegory of the Cave type shit.

Everyone swears up and down that the show was bad for not punishing the diamonds and letting them get away with everything they did and be forgiven right away. But they literally weren’t…? Literally all of the main characters tolerate them at best.

(Also this was a show about redemtion, love, and queer acceptance from the start so I’m not sure why so many people seemed to think that the theme should have become “fascist pigs must die” at the end but whatever. Critical reading skills amirite?)

Then there’s the common joke about Steven being a pacifist and never fighting anyone even though he “needed” to. But guys… the whole show was Steven and the gems fighting people. They just didn’t *kill* people.

Idk how the anime-inspired cartoon with about three fight scenes an episode is now remembered as “that show where the main character is a pacifistic centrist” but it really doesn’t add up.

I won’t even get into the actual discourse itself or how much of it was in clear bad faith, but the point is, its a shame that this show is remembered completely incorrectly. And even worse that its ultimate legacy is the extreme amount of discourse that the internet got addicted to creating at the time it ended

Event: The Duck Book Fair

Where: Library at Harbour

With: Lilette Vaz (@pclymcrphcus)

Reza sauntered through the fair with his coffee in hand, sipping on the hot drink while browsing through the books that were pawned off. He’d hoped someone stupid would pawn off their family’s grimoire without knowing it’s worth and he could buy it dirt cheap, but he had no such luck thus far. Maybe the library had taken them off the list and added them to their own collection instead, which would be very tight-arsed of them if that were true. Still, he figured he’d stay around for awhile until something caught his eyes or grew bored of waiting. “Dystopian novels are so 1984, amirite?” He picked up the titled book and waved it to the person next to him before plopping it back onto the pile, almost toppling it over. “Anyway, for a library book fair, there’re not many interesting books to look at. You think the library got some hidden gems they don’t want us to grab?”

[somethingsupwithdrac]

24th May Huzzah! A message! From our dear Lucy! You know what that means, Tumblr Book Club friends? IT’S TIME TO MEET THE LUCY WESTENRA BOYFRIEND CLUB YESSS

Today we have an opening from Lucy thanking Mina for her letter and spilling the tea about her THREE suitors!

LOL “Don’t tell the girls, you know they’ll be babies about it because I have a whole squad of eligible men begging for my hand in marriage and they don’t. Vanity, amirite?”

Again with the secrets, Lucy. “Don’t  tell anybody but Jon, because I know you’re going to, I would totally spill the beans to Arthur if our positions were reversed, but I have a BOYFRIEND CLUB and I need to tell you ALL ABOUT THEM”

First we have Jack Seward, Asylum Guy and OG podcaster, who is is strong of jaw and good of forehead. So much for that “oh he’d be perfect for you if not for that pesky fiance, lol" thing. I know that “cool" here refers to being calm and in control of oneself, but it’s much funnier if I take that to mean “OMG, Mina, this man is the biggest most awkward dork of a man, he almost sat on his hat and then sat there fiddling with a lancet like a weirdo until I wanted to scream, lmao"

Awkward boyfriend pitch time! “I love u and I swear I will make you so happy, I will be so sad if u do not love me back dear Lucy.” (I make fun of this because to modern eyes it’s a wee bit niceguy, but I know that it’s meant to be sincere, and it’s all honestly kind of sad.) And then poor conflicted Lucy having to reject him and the very noble “I want you to be happy and if all I can have is your friendship, I will be the best friend I can” speech, which, honestly? Sweet as hell, you get a point, Mr. Seward. (Which is perhaps the only point I am willing to award you for anything in this novel.)

This whole thing with Lucy having a good cry over having to hurt him by rejecting him is actually pretty sad and I just want the Lucy Westenra Boyfriend Club to pull itself together already. Later, though.

And  now, introducing suitor number two, MISTER QUINCEY P. MORRIS, AMERICAN COWBOY FROM TEXAS. He absolutely definitely speaks like a real authentic Texan and Bram Stoker absolutely definitely had spoken to Americans before writing this man’s character. (I snark, but only because I love Quincey as a character.) Quincey is an absolute gem of a man who knows how to sweet talk a girl and is 100% the guy this was made for:

He is young and fresh faced and charming, and ALSO knows how to take rejection gracefully, which puts him miles above at least 75% of modern dude characters. Lucy is like, “alas, my totally hot and very eligible American suitor, as I told Mr. Seward, I am in love with Arthur already” with genuine regret, and poor sweet Quincey is just

‘I understand little darlin’, I love you and want the best for you and we can still be friends, because friendship is valuable too.’ You also get a point, Mr. Morris. YEEHAW.

And then he joins Lucy’s Boyfriend Club with Arthur and Jack because Lucy Westenra (I keep typing Lucky, lol) is a damn smart woman and she is going to have all the boyfriends she wants.

Last, of course, is Arthur, who is...Arthur. Curly of hair and kind of heart, already engaged, betrothed, and affianced to our dear Lucy. Does this make him president of the Boyfriend Club? IDK, maybe?

“Why can’t they let a girl marry three men, or as many as want her, and save all this trouble?”

YOU DON’T NEED MARRIAGE, GIRL, YOU JUST GO FORM THAT POLYCULE AND GET ALL OF THOSE VERY HANDSOME AND ELIGIBLE MEN.

(Sidenote: I love ‘I know what I would do...no I don’t’ and ‘A man always finds a girl alone...no he doesn’t’. It’s such stream of consciousness writing and I love that about Lucy.)

I cannot WAIT to see our friend Mina’s response to this. I know I am absolutely bursting to hear more about the Boyfriend Club.

(Sidenote number two: JFC, talk about mood whiplash. We go from Jonathan being in several flavours of mortal peril with a definite end date for his life to Mina and Lucy having a grand time talking about Boyfriend Club. It’s jarring, and it’s meant to be, and also, I think, necessary for keeping the tension up.)
