breaking news: my third eye is open again and i'm falling for lilia and his charms.

#meraki mumbles #this is not a drill...... he's genuinely making me have thoughts #it's the general lilia effect #and the sheer whiplash of mean war general versus silly and doting father figure who is also in a pop music club #and he stays up super late to game and so it's highly possible he (at one point) has said 'slay' and and and!!!!!! #OTL and then i'm slowly seeing the appeal for malleus as well #someone inject the fish into my brain before i fall into the diasomnia hole #lilia would be NO HELP if silver or sebek or malleus knocked you up (in your sleep or otherwise) he's proud like '>:3 those are my boys' #and silver... living his entire life thinking people only have sex to breed (because that's how lilia explained sex-ed to him) #so he restrains himself from wanting to have sex with you because he's worried he'll just fuck you like an animal and breed you full D: #AAAAAAA I NEED TO STOP BEFORE THE DIASOMNIA WORMS CHEW THROUGH MY CORTEX.......

Child of the sun

Who was shining and bright

and child of the moon

Who lived by his light

The sun who shone for all to see

And was deemed a radiant bloom

Who only saw his brilliant light

Reflected in the eyes of the moon

The moon with power other's feared

As strong as the will of the sea

Brought to his knees by the warmth of the sun

By his side was where he longed to be

People said the moon was cold

With no light of his own

The sun saw only beauty

In his soft and eerie glow

People feared the sun would burn

Or his light would blind them

The moon found joy in his bite

And vowed to stand behind him

Their endless dance through the sky

Was plain for all to see

The beauty and grace of a love

That was never meant to be

And yet in the rare twilight

The time they shared together

On mingling breath hushed whispers said

A promise made, to be forever

But the day came the sun shone too bright

And was snuffed out too soon

And without the sun's radiant light

The moon was gone too

Poll: AO3 tag limits are a net good, this we can all agree, but

#polls #i'm so mad! i was so proud of those tags and a good 50% of them were simply. devoured. #i could always just count tags before hitting post and figure out what the numerical limit is #but who wants to be doing that when we could be tl;dring fandom feels as whispers on new posts instead

Hey, it's me again.

I've been busy with school and stuff, so I haven't had much time to work on my personal projects (like the EXPMAU and some fan-fictions) but now that summer is here I'll have a bit more freedom to work on those!

Here are some teen girls who may or may not be part of a squad while y'all wait.

Rock on! \__/,

#homestar runner #teen girl squad #fun fact: s&s is kinda based on an irl friend of mine #if you know who it is no you don’t #another fun fact #i've always had trouble imagining actual character designs for the girls before this moment #like if y'all know about #fhqwhpods #and Alexa's CW version of the characters #I can almost imagine these versions in that setting #but only if they had more layered clothing #and before I could'nt figure it out but now I did #i'm proud of this one

Shockingly enough, Candlelight won this fight. My little Water caste T'au is getting better at melee, it seems. Maybe all those "practice" fights with Laurie have paid off. Candlelight left this fight with two bruises on her torso, and Andrei had two broken bones in his right leg and a broken left arm.

What if we pushed our Rimworld beds together?

Jk, jk!

...

Unless...?

I know they all sleep in their clothes in-game, but that seems so uncomfortable. I'm going to just keep drawing everyone in pyjamas.

Look, I don't like Wookshys, but I can appreciate a man who takes time out of his important chores (spending all day fishing) to remind his secret girlfriend that she is loved and very smoochable. As much as I hate to admit it, I think Albina is in good hands.

Controversial take but I'm much more comforted by the idea of a deity that makes mistakes and admits it than one that insists they're perfect and punishes anyone who says otherwise by sending them to be tortured

For those of you who've heard me allude to Grief Fic™, here it is. Please mind the warnings/tags. I'll put detailed content warnings/spoilers under the cut. 9.5K, post-series, major character death (off screen). A bittersweet story, but more sweet than bitter.

Ed and Stede have spent nearly forty years together, happily in love. It'll never be enough time. But also... it's more than they ever could have hoped for. A story that blends past and present to celebrate a love that transcends time.

A billion and one thanks to @monksofthescrew for working overtime to take this story to the next level. 💕

The story alternates between present day, when Ed and Stede are in their 80s and preparing to host a gathering for their friends, and memories of the life they built together after they retired from the world of piracy. Eventually it is revealed that Stede has an unspecified terminal illness. When it becomes clear he will not survive, Ed decides to go with him, and the gathering is their way to say goodbye to their former crew. The deaths take place off screen. It is clear that Ed and Stede are both at peace with their decision. Co-captains to the end. 💕

as I'm going back over my past history and items and journals and years, I come across all sorts of things, like the pencil I saved from that so-precious memory from second grade, and a pair of flip flops I've been missing for two years, and (tw for murder/crime/killings) the modern-high-school-AU-kidnapped-by-a-serial-killer story I wrote in late high school jdfsjdfsjkjlksfd

I am eternally amazed at how sensitive the portuguese are at the subject of colonialism. The idea that we practised some sort of soft colonialism is so ingrained in our minds people will be fighting for their lives to defend this idea (which, btw, is still a remnant of Salazar's propaganda). Brazil's colonialism is such a hyper sensitive topic you can see the vein popping on the neck of the average Zé when someone even lightly mentions accountability. I dead ass remember my 7th grade teacher telling our class that Brazil's colonialism consisted of "jesuit priests playing music, which enticed the natives" and that was it (flutes too, to be precise, for some fucking reason) and everyone has just blindly believed this and refused to accept the actual horrible history we're a part of. Portuguese people will be fighting for their lives on technicalities. Say "The portuguese invented the slave trade" and Salvador over there will jump from under the table to explain that akshually african people were the ones to sell their own people as slaves!!! And askhually, slavery goes back for centuries!! You know what they mean, you know what needs to be discussed here, but my boy Salvador is on a mission. He doesn't even care that he's regurgitating fascist propaganda that was entirely built on ahistorical facts that specifically sought to promote colonialism and imperialism as a progressive idea, no, none of that matters. It matters that we are miserable people who will perpetually long for the past, look back on something utterly atrocious and willingly ignore the brutality of it, because we cannot come to terms with the fact that today we live in a country that's ripe with corruption, unlivable wages and high cost of living; we cannot come to terms with the fact that we did all this colonialism just to be a poor fucking country that's being exploited by digital nomads; in fact, we just cannot tolerate the idea that we're just a summer resort for americans and brits and have absolutely no economical relevance in the world, not even cultural, but hey, cultural meaning can be invented. So we look back, we wail and cry and look back at these centuries when we pillaged, enslaved and destroyed because at least we meant something, because we once divided the world in two with Spain, that's how big our balls were once, and because once people knew who we were, they our name beyond the one football player. We purposefully disregard the horrid shit. We coast through life without ever, ever acknowledging it ever existed. We're taught in school colonialism was soft core at best, tell some bullshit about some priests with flutes and be done with it, and then when someone finally confronts us for our history, on god, we'll be fighting with everything we have to prove to you that our colonialism was just fine, and we, white men of the 16th century, showed these countries the meaning of civilisation! Orgulhosamente sós, am i right bitches

#i love my country #but i just cannot identify with the portuguese people #I'm fed up with this shit #and i feel i have a responsibility as a tour guide #i dont actually talk about colonialism bc there's no time #we don't even talk about the discoveries #well okay we di briefly but it's because of the codfish actually #but if someone asks I'll answer #and i don't hold back #this is just so fucking stupid #i follow creators that talk about this #and I'll be watching an educational video and learning #and you open the comments #and there's santiago thinking he is a modern day afonso henriques #defending colonialism like this was 16th century #hell there's people out there who are proud of the fact that columbus married a PT woman #and was here before he went to isabella #my guy John II was genuinely a harsh even cruel man #and he even he told Columbus to pound sand!!!!! why do you want to claim him tf!!!!! #sorry for the rqnt #rant

ALSO LIKE???????? IN MY MIND I NEVER THOUGHT ALFONSE WAS LIKE. That fucking popular??????????? LIKE....... one thing I've always liked about my online space specifically is how niche it feels and to me. Loving Alfonse so much so dearly felt like. SUCH a niche thing. Like there are one million Fire Emblem characters from main series games who are vastly more popular who have insane fanbases just on their own. To me Alfonse being in top 20 or top 10 always felt like he was an underdog. To me Alfonse has always felt like Just Some Guy and I love him for that. I have ALWAYS been of the belief his ass is NOT getting a Brave alt EVER. You can dream but he's just some guy. A FEH OC. Yeah the Main Fucking Character FEH OC but like. Idk somehow he just felt like. Like liking him and posting about him and drawing him all this fucking time it has always felt like he's an underdog. Guy you have to look at twice to really start thinking about him. And once you start Thinking about him oh dude it is SO fucking over for you (and who knows maybe that's exactly how he won)

#fire emblem #feh #THE WAY I VOTED FOR HIM TWICE THIS YEAR TOO LMFAOOOOOOOOO #the way i was dreaming of fraud....... only being able to do it for bruno but i WAS fully considering it. for both askr sibs as well #I GOTTA KNOW. WHERE SHARENA PLACED. DOES SHE HAVE A SHOT???????????? #could it happen all over again.......... 😳 #BECAUSE. THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT ALFONSE IN THIS CONTEXT VERY MUCH APPLIES TO SHARENA TOO #ESPPPPPPPP honestly MORE SEVERELY. bc ESPPP early on she was SHAFTED SO FUCKING MUCH #to the point where i wholeheartedly believed the writers themselves weren't giving her a chance. that if they DID #then it would have a ripple effect on the fanbase and she would REALLY get to shine #WHICH!!!! I THINK HAS HAPPENED!!!!!! TO A DEGREE NOW!!!!!!!! sharena ABSOLUTELY feels like #a character who stands on her own now and has a lot of compelling things going on and is just charming as well #and like ALL THESE THINGS were present before but now they're stronger. idk if i'm explaining it well #AUAHGHH........ i am. so . still in disbelief tbh. i'm so proud of him though #fe alfonse

[melodyofthevoid]

your ocs' stories seem interesting! would you mind explaining the comic though because i didn't really understand.. no pressure ofc, just curious

Ah! Thank you so much!

So, long time followers will be... familiar with the outline of what's happening here, but I'll keep it brief. Alexander (the one with the shorter hair and glasses) is an exiled prince in hiding, fleeing from the law after he committed Treason™ (again he's in hiding tho). Theo, the one in the final panel, met Alexander when they were both kids and got that pin from Alex and kept it. A memory of a brief meeting with royalty.

Alexander's reputation is a flaming wreck, and he despises himself (hehe) for what he did. Hence him vaguing about how the prince is a "Monster". Theo's not really sure why "Lex" is so mad but tells the truth.

In the last frame, it flashes forward to Alex being caught and held in front of the town. Revealed for who he is. And Theo's left to parse everything that came before it in that new context. (Also the person on the other end of the sword is his sister lmao)

#melody rambles #fading reflections #seriously shout out to shmunter for that gorgeous artwork #I... have written this story before technically. as the iz royalty au #which I'm still proud of but want to really... make better. #i'm just so lucky to have such amazing artist friends who love my stories as much or more than I do haha #hopefully even though I'm going to be busy with my new job I can start putting this together #time will tell I suppose

Who wants some more out of bounds Clockwork Mansion?

First step: from the entrance, go right and walk (blink) in the air

Second step: you managed to go to the rooftop from the outside, congrats!

Third step: get concerned and hope Jindosh is alright cuz his mansion is in ruins

(you're definitely not supposed to be here so i know it's a way to save time and ressources don't come at me)

Finally, discover the hidden word and enjoy:

#dishonored 2 #kirin jindosh #spamming the Kirin tag again yippee #tbh i'm proud of myself once again #cuz yk i tried many times before getting there from outside and i'm glad it is something possible to do #now i did it from inside the mansion and outside and i'm yippee!!! #there's literally no reason whatsoever to do this but bruh #who needs a free camera mod when you have a strange fixation and weird ideas and determination that would make frisk undertale looks weak

[inkdemonapologist]

I have this theory and I made a post about it but I love your Sammy stuff and consider you like a premiere expert so I'm genuinely curious.

Canonical after re-reading the books (and are they canon anymore LoL but). Did canon!Joey *know* Sammy was tripping the light fantastic on ink?

Like the passage where he tells buddy 'why please a man when you can please a god' seems to imply wet cat prophet man is pissed about Joey and feels let down -

And then *later* Joey's like 'Sammy lured them all down here...but I couldn't use them' and I'm like ho-shit did bro become the guy's Walter white

Also hi your art is amazing and if you have original work I would read instantly.

LMAO GOSH, thank you for the kind words!!! also golly gee THIS LINE FROM JOEY DRIVES ME NUTS because JOEY COME ON MAN TELL ME MORE!!!!

There’s several little things in the background that implies SOMETHING between these two but we don’t get to see it! Thomas surely reported Sammy’s weird behaviour to Joey like he said he would (Sammy did not make a compelling case for himself in their argument), but the ink doesn’t disappear from Sammy’s closet until weeks later, so did Joey like… know about it and his only response was “huh interesting, let’s see where he goes with this!” or did he just blow off Thomas’ warnings as unimportant b/c Sammy is his special perfect genius who can do whatever he wants, or what!!! Also the thing where Joey is the one who’s furiously interrogating everyone about Sammy’s whereabouts when he goes missing, before anyone else had even noticed he was gone, and Buddy thinks Joey’s emotion seems stronger than the situation warrants – so how intense was Joey being, for his upset at being unable to find the guy who writes ALL THE MUSIC to seem like an overreaction?

ANYWAY,

I don’t understand breaking bad references, but my interpretation tends to be that by the end of DCTL Sammy had snapped enough that Joey had no real power over him, and this is part of why Joey was so angry at Sammy’s disappearance – for once, Joey didn’t have control over him and didn’t know how to take control. I think Sammy’s accusation of “living your sad little lives to please Joey Drew” is projection – that’s what SAMMY had been doing in his 15+ years at the studio, and he now condemns it as pathetic. I don’t think he was willingly or knowingly aiding Joey at this point.

Joey, meanwhile, doesn’t seem to have a master plan so much as an ability to just… roll with whatever happens and make it work for him. He tells Buddy, simultaneously, that this was “meant to be” and “the plan all along,” but that he didn’t actually know what he wanted to do with Buddy until the moment he saw him in the demon’s jaws. So, like, this was just a lucky break for Joey, a moment where the right person just happened to be dead in front of him at just the right time for him to turn that person into a cartoon, and it worked out great!! He didn’t orchestrate this – it was a series of accidents that he retroactively decided was a plan. Joey Drew is an opportunist! And I think the fact that he didn’t find Norman and the others until after “the ink had infected them for days” points to the idea that Joey didn’t plan that either, since he didn’t find them until much later. My reading is that once Sammy started murdering people, instead of getting that under control, Joey just kind of followed him to see if he could take those lemons and make lemonade, so to speak.

That said, I like the idea that Joey knew; it was the first canon-adjacent thing I drew in this fandom! I don’t think they were in cahoots in canon, but it’s still an idea I’m really fond of. There are a lot of little things that could be used to suggest that Joey knew what was going on with Sammy and enabled it for whatever reason (my favourite evidence for this is still the “who does a god worship” convo in The Illusion of Living – the idea that Joey really wanted to see if he could make something Sammy would worship gives him a solid motive here, and becomes interesting when Sammy is the ONLY person whose infection ends up with these religious overtones, see the end of this post), but it’s equally possible from what little we know that Joey was simply negligent, caught up in his own nonsense, and never thought to look into it until Sammy became an obstacle to his own goals.

#i know you have questions you always do #dctl #sammy lawrence #joey drew #the concept of Joey Enabling Sammy's Addiction was a big part of that Taste of Ink fic too ITS SUCH A GOOD CONCEPT #every so often I'm like 'MAN maybe someday ill finish that fic' and then I remember how much effort writing takes lmao #ALSO to answer your last question #if you don't mind reading a comic that will never be finished #if you look up 'runewriters' that was my original webcomic before injury/burnout and im still pretty proud of how far i got #i think people who like my depiction of Sammy would probably enjoy the necromancer character
