boothill x writer&reading enthusiast!reader!!
wc: 680
tags - fluff!!!!!, hurt/comfort without the hurt, so just comfort, this is my first fanfic EVER!?!?!?, lots of projection, probably inaccurate portrayal of boothill srrie, boothill calls u darlin'/sugar, this is really really messy oops
a/n - the story kinda diverges into them just reading a simple book written by someone else but the idea was that they'd slowly work into reading more n more complex stuffs-- which eventually include reader's works !! tbh i like to think even if boothill doesn't fully understand yet he'd still wanna know what reader is writing. i'll probably rewrite this sometime in the future with the same concept, diff execution b/c this lowkey didn't turn out how i wanted it to ૮ ྀི◞ ⸝⸝ ◟ ྀིა
Tumblr media
he feels bad and a little insecure about his illiteracy!! because he bets you're so so talented in what you do but he literally cannot appreciate what you write :((
sometimes he wonders if you'd be happier if you were with someone who was able to fully understand all of you-- all of your cute rambles about the usage of different literary devices in the books you were reading, all of the times you cried over dystopian novels and heart-crushing personal narratives and profound, emotional sentences that he just didn't have the capacity to understand.
when he sits you down one night and confides in you about this, your first course of action is to comfort him (obviously!!).
"trust me, i don't love you any less just 'cause you dunno how to read," you coo, peppering his warm face with loving kisses. "if i had to be with anyone else, i'd be sad forever knowing you'd still be out there. i love you, don't forget that, 'kay?"
you can see his worry-addled face relax a bit as you remind him of just how much you love him-- but you can still notice the crestfallen look in his eyes. you realize he has been worrying about this for a while; possibly since the first time you told him you were a writer.
you come up with a plan.
he's a little confused the first time you lay in bed earlier than usual with a book in hand, gesturing excitedly for him to join you under the covers. you usually read books on your own, no?
it didn't take him long to notice a difference between the book you were holding and the books you usually read.
he saw a few of the books you'd read previously-- they were thick, way thicker than the book in front of him now, and definitely way smaller in size. the covers also had pretty big differences. the covers of your usual books were much more mature-looking-- like they were meant to be read by adults. this book, however... had a fat, crudely drawn green caterpillar on the cover.
his metallic body slips underneath the sheets, relaxing on the mattress. he protectively wraps his arm around your waist, pulling you closer to him.
"what's this, darlin'?" he asks, pointing to the book with his free hand.
"the very hungry caterpillar," you reply, a bright smile on your face. you pause for a bit before speaking up again.
"i feel like i've been making you feel bad by leaving you out of my passion for literature-- i mean, reading, and writing and whatnot. i'm not the best teacher, but i still wanna share this part of me with you."
he has to try his hardest not to explode on the spot.
"'s alright, sugar, 's not your fault," he murmurs, gently caressing your side in an attempt to comfort you. "did 'ya get this book just f'me?"
you nodded, the solemn look on your face suddenly being replaced with one of excitement.
"this book is real simple, so i can read it to 'ya and hopefully you might learn a few things," you smile, giving him a peck on the cheek as you open the book.
since he barely knows how to read, you have to read the entire book out loud to him. that doesn't bother you, not in the slightest. in fact, you'd say it's even more fun that way.
he starts to snicker as the drawing of the caterpillar slowly gets bigger and bigger, eating food in larger quantities as the pages flip.
after you shut the book closed and put it on the nightstand, you turn to him. "how'd you like the book?"
"it was so stupid," he grins. "that [beautiful] caterpillar was still hungry after eatin' all that?"
you burst into giggles, hugging him tighter as you laugh. "mhm, i guess so. it's like me whenever you take me out to get fast food."
"oh, don't compare your pretty self to that thing," he smirks, tucking the both of you under the covers.

Spelldon Monster High Custom
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once I saw that G3 Deuce had green skin, I knew I had to try my hand at making Spelldon Cauldronello. I re-haired him and flocked the sides of his head with yarn to imitate dreads. I sewed him a jacket, shirt, joggers, and socks. I made his little potions (out of beads), earrings (also out of beads), necklaces, gloves, pointed ears (I wish I could have gotten them smoother, but they were so delicate that I could not sand them without them breaking), shoes (out of paperboard and papier-mâché), and repainted his face (my first full face repaint and daaang was that difficult to try and make his eyes and eyebrows look related to one another).
He’s not perfect, but he was super fun to pose and creating him was a HUGE learning experience (like to start sealing all of my thread knots with fabric glue).
You’re more than welcome to draw fanart/make your own based on mine, just tag me- I’d love to see them. Feel free to comment what you like/dislike think I should improve on. :)
Edit: thank you for all the sweet comments in the reblogs guys. You’re all making my day. :)
More under the cut
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Close ups of his left side (I like how this ear turned out the best).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And his right side. I couldn’t get this side smoothed out to save my life, haha. Hopefully his earrings distract enough from it. Keeping beads from old bracelets come in handy! These were just the right size for him. I repainted the lower earring in black, with a stripe of purple, and added silver Ancient Greek designs on either side.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
One more close up of his left ear and earring (I added a purple pentagram in the center of the silver Greek designs and the color shift sparkle paint around the rim). His upper earring is the same as his right lower earring, but has an orange stripe.
His face-up took awhile, but it is very rewarding to finally give him a face. I tried to make it look like the factory g1 monster high face up and took a lot of inspiration from his older sister Casta’s pupils. I gave him darker purple eyes, with the yellow/gold zig-zags. I gave him three moles, instead of just the one that Casta has, to mix it up a little. I did take a little inspiration from G3 for his eyebrows to add some orange and purple streaks in the front and a cut in his left eyebrow (I don’t know if that is still trendy, but I think it looks cool). The eyebrows are still not super symmetrical, but I already sealed it. I went back and forth on what I wanted his lip colors to be (I know I wanted something two toned) but finally decided on a dark purple upper lip, with a green outlined lower lip.
Tumblr media
Also G3 heads are SUPER difficult to try and reattach (and remove) and have to be VERY squishy to put back on their bodies (even after I had trimmed down the neck peg).
Okay, onto his wardrobe! I wanted to imitate Casta’s color pallet: black, orange, purple, silver (and sparkles and studs), while bringing in more “witchy” themes (the buckles, stripe socks, and pentagrams), and his scaritage from his mama Circe (hence the potions, boars on his shirt and shoes, the greek vase designs and the boar designs being black on orange -like the Ancient Greek vases). Even on the Greek designs, I put some teeny tiny pentagrams (namely on his jacket sand socks).
Tumblr media
His jacket took the longest (his shoes were the second longest). It is fully lined (the sleeves have a white lining to keep staining to a minimum), and working pockets. I liked the sparkly material I found, but does it shed like crazy (I used it for his collar, cuffs, pockets, and the bottom of his jacket in the back, and wrong side-out for his sleeves -they still have silver sparkles showing though and it doesn’t shed…but it will catch on things). I used thin ribbon for the outside of his pockets (next time I will fabric glue the ends shut on all my ribbons and a thicker ribbon for the bottom of his coat), and bent some wire into buckles. I also used ribbon wire and looped black thread over it to make it look like a zipper. I used fabric paint for the pattern down the front and REALLY hope it stays on there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I really wanted a mesh back to his coat (I love how that part turned out), and then added this purple sparkly ribbon to his sleeves. He was going to have another pentagram in the back but it was too much (but it left a cool shadow of the star after I removed it).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His gloves are made of mesh and ribbon (with glitter fabric glue continuously added on top of each other, and then painted silver, to make the spikes on his knuckles -same thing I did with his choker and shoes). His nails are painted black with the same color flash glaze paint as part of his earrings.
Tumblr media
Okay onto his main outfit without the coat (he’s much more fun and easier to pose without his jacket).
Tumblr media
“Spelldon, please move your necklace out of the way, so we can see your shirt better, thank you.”
Tumblr media
Close up of his wild boar and Greek vase designs on his shirt (done in fabric paint). I REALLY love how the boar turned out as I was SUPER nervous I was going to mess it up. Having a boar/Greek vase design on an orange shirt was also inspired by @spookberry ‘s design of Spelldon. His necklace pendant was another bead I had (and it worked great for attacking thread too).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Side and back of his outfit (you can see some of that stray black glitter).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“‘Scuse me Spelldon, can you lift your shirt so we can see you joggers better? Thank you.” His joggers/capri’s and socks were inspired by @peppapigvevo ‘s Spelldon design. Once again I used ribbon, that sparkly material for his waistband and cuffs, and silver fabric paint for Greek vase design.
Tumblr media
I attached a chain to his joggers and added these potion bottles (while Casta looks like she uses more magic spells and incantations through her singing, I like to think Spelldon uses potions -more like his mom). I made these potions out of wire, beads, thread and air-dry clay.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Onto his shoes and socks. I made the shoes out of paperboard and paper-maché. I wanted them to be boar themed while still having pentagrams and studs on them. They turned out a bit wonky (and a tad too long -but it helps him stand up, haha), but I spent too much time on them to redo them, haha. His shoe sole I also painted with that sparkle flash glaze paint too. I also gave him the striped socks, because I love striped socks and tights on witches.
Tumblr media
“Thanks for holding still Spelldon, and being patient with me.” I’m going to make another post or two with comparisons with his sister, some of my other customs, and some vampire that claims he knows him or something, heehee.
Oh yeah! My sketches for him:

...devlog #1??? - mini BG3 VN
So I recently downloaded Renpy because I wanna learn how to code in my spare time and I figured I'd write about it here for both posterity & to record my process with it all!
The project I'm starting with will be quick and easy because 1) I really don't want to start with something huge 2) I have work & commissions to take care of and those will come first.
About the project:
If you've been following me you know I've gotten hugely into bg3 so I thought why not code a little scene where you get to meet my durge, Brigha! I'll put my goals and expectations under the cut. Here's my first renpy test ft. Wyll.
First of all, what the hell is Renpy? Very simply put, Renpy is a software that allows you to create visual novels. You can check it out (and even download it for free!) here.
The "mini VN" I'm working on will feature a scene in Act1 of how I imagine you'd meet and recruit (or not!) my durge if she were a companion in the game, featuring some neat little things and details that I will hopefully be able to implement.
This is what I want to put in:
Ability to input your character's name;
(royalty free) music playing in the bg;
Multiple dialogue choices with (very small) dialogue trees;
Perhaps some pop ups like perception checks or companion approval/disapproval;
Companion pop up comments, randomized in one instance towards the end;
Two endings.
It might seem like a lot and it probably is - I might cut a couple these to make sure I don't spend too much time getting the vn out there.
So far I have the first draft of the script ready and I'll probably leave it as is unless testers will point out inaccuracies or weird phrasing. Here is a little concept of how I imagine Brigha will be dressed when you meet her:
Tumblr media
Sprite wise she'll probably be the only one to have a full body/expressions (to preserve my wrists) but I might also draw little simple headshots of the other companions for when they'll pop up to comment.
As for backgrounds I will spare myself and just grab screencaps from the game that I will blurry/apply effects to, just to make them look a bit more coeshive with the sprites.
This is all I have so far! The VN will be available to play for free on your browser once I'm done with it :) ETA undetermined since this is a free time project done for fun.
Wish me luck!

Platonic yandere yautja x human child reader
Aww dad yautja😊 I didn't write for yautjas in months!! Hopefully u enjoy it!! Also i used they/them for kid. No tw, only cuteness and wholesome dad figure yautja👹 request open
Dad yautja with human kid
Bro is confused ??? Tf??? Why is there a child here??
He either found them abandoned in middle of nowhere or accidentally killed their perents, by 'accidentaly' i mean ofc he wanted to kill them he just didn't know there was a child nearby and now he feels bad
Kinda finds human pups ugly😭 why are you so smol and loud wtf
Dad!yautja after he kinda adopts y/n he gets too overprotective! Like dude won't leave their side at all, especially when you guys are outside; dude will pick them up and just carry around.
Can't cook to save his life, he kinda set kitchen on fire. And humans cant eat raw meat, so now you are on fruit diet for now (and veggies)
Had this parental instinct to teach them everything, how to shoot, find food, basic self-defence, overall taking good care of themselfs. But he kinda likes that he has to provide for them, it gives him control yknow
When he carries them around everywhere! He acually lets them sit on his shoulders or just hang on his neck😓😍
Cant say no to those cute big eyes! Yes he will let them 'decorate' his armor (with glitter and stickers) and he will let them paint his nails and he will lisen to them gossip about their friends.
If his kid is a little artist and walks up to him and says "papa i drew you!" He does not care that he looks like a lizard nor that they didn't color it perfectly. Dude is purring, picking y/n up and he carries this drawing in pocket everywhere
Other yautjas say that he spoils them, but he disagrees! Your a HUMAN baby, i mean yeah your basically one of yautjas now but!!! Your tiny! And your skin is so squishy!!!
He had to learn how to comb their hair cuz at some point y/n simply refused to cut it (me too lil guy) and he respects them so much he won't just do something against them
Kinda wishes he could understand human body language more
Also about body language i can imagine kid just kinda mimicing yatuja body language and habits. Like dad!yatuja will say "child please go to bed its late" the kid will just angry respond with a hiss👹 "hsssss👽🦎" "?????" If yaujtas had eyebrows, he would rise them
If y/n is a girl, and she has her first period? Dude panics! HUHH WHAT BLOOD??? FROM WHERE!?? UHHHH????
Dude tries to be a perfect father figure, he tries to have similar intrests with his kid so they can connect more, but if y/n is totally not into hunting, collecting, nature themed stuff, Yautja is more than happy to catch up with whatever teens are into this days, but he will judge the hell out of tv shows (if they watch any)
I kinda forgot it suppose to be yandere so it turned out to be just wholesome im so sorry
Understands that kid needs privacy but he will just go invisible mode and lurk in shadows! Like what if somone attacks you??? Or worse! What if you meet some humans that he doenst like??? What if they will tell y/n all lies about what 'bad war crimes' he commited and what 'murderous' his kind is!! Those are lies pls dont lisen to humans
No boy/girlfriends!!! Nuh uh!! Your his little baby you cant go doing all those... things... with some human. ugh! this person probably can't even hunt for you!! Or give you nice treasures!! Or build a pretty nest!! Why would you like them my child?? Look at all those trophies i gathered for all those years! You should stay here!
He loves the fact that he lives in some wild ass jungle and y/n cant leave him due to all those dangers around, plus he loves that y/n will always stay tiny(in comparison obviously) and weak so be basically needs to provide for them! Right???
I used x reader tags ONLY to reach bigger audience

just discovered your blog couple of days ago AND IM IN SHOOK i havent in my life seen such gut wrenchingly amazing anatomy my jaw is on the ground LIKE REALLY your doffy is my EVERYTHING DAMN idk if you shared it somewhere but can i ask you to wield us the secret knowledge of what resources you mostly used for studying anatomy?? cause im really curious your stuff is literally gold omfg
Thank you so much! There's way better anatomy artists out there but i'm happy that people like what i'm doing!
And hmm that's a question with several answers so i'm just gonna give a list on what helped me the most!
Also i'm just a hobby artist so keep that in mind when reading! I have no idea what professionals do lmao.
1: Don't be afraid to find you own way of learning! Everyone process information differently and if you feel a certain way helps you learn then use it!
2: Don't just look at people with defined muscles! Look at people with very different body shapes and sizes. Human anatomy for artists is a site i often use! (lots of tasteful nudity in the link, be aware)
3: Practice your muscle memory as much as your sight! By tracing anatomy, you'll be able to feel what is actually going on in the image!
This is a big one because i recently discovered that i'm the kind of person that learns by feeling the movement of what i'm looking at.
Now i'm able to pick up on little details that i otherwise wouldn't have seen! And i (usually) get my drawings right immediately, without needing to do this before. :)
If you ever struggle pin-pointing what is wrong with your drawing, try this out and see if it works! Hopefully you'll go "AH so that's how it's supposed to look like."
4: Look at videos and photos of people wrestling and MMA fighting (or any other marial arts. Great way of learning how physics work. And dancers too!!
5: Pay attention to how skin reacts! By that i mean do weird movements in the mirror and see how your skin moves and stretches.
6: When using a reference make sure it's right beside your canvas. Then dart your eyes quickly back and forth and see what part of your drawing looks different from what you're looking at!
7. No matter how much you think "I understand how this muscle work now" there will always be at least one photo of a person that makes you go "What??" because muscles are fucked up and can look way differently in certain angles.
8: If you can't find a good reference take a photo of yourself in the mirror. It doesn't matter if you don't look like the character you're drawing, as long as it gives you some idea how it should look, it's fine!
There's way more but these are the main things i keep in mind when drawing anatomy!

Monster | W. Maximoff
Tumblr media
YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO REPOST MY WORK UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
Summary: You and Wanda argue about the future, and a certain Russian shows you how much of a fool you're being.
Wanda Maximoff x Fem!Symbiote!Reader
Main Masterlist
WC: 3210
TW: None, brief mentions of violence, marital problems. (Message me if there are any you want added)
“Wanda! Come on, please!”
Yelling was pointless, and you looked like a total crazy person shouting at a house in the dark, but here you were.
There came no reply to your pleads to talk, and eventually you were going to have to give in and let Wanda have the space she had requested. But you wanted to show her you weren’t going to give up that easily, that she meant more to you than some stupid fear.
“Let me out! I will get us back inside.” Khaos spoke in your ear, and you shook your head, frowning.
“There’s no point. She’s pissed and wants space.” You sighed, letting your gaze fall to the floor. “We’ll try again tomorrow.”
Your symbiote chuntered in your ear, some expletives thrown around, but you had learned to ignore the mumblings and berating that often came from the alien whenever she disagreed with you. Beginning to move away from what was your home, but not for tonight, your feet carried you wherever they ended up. Hopefully at a bar, but you knew that wasn’t going to help you get back into your wife’s good books.
It was a stupid disagreement. Something you wished you had never even argued about, but it was bound to happen eventually.
Feeling cold and a little bit sorry for yourself, you had no idea where to go, especially not this time of night. Until Khaos had an idea.
“Let us go to the Russian’s apartment. She will know what to do.” She told you, and to be honest, it seemed like a solid idea. You knew what awaited you, which made you cringe a little bit. A lot of shouting, calling you an idiot which you already knew you were. But Natasha was smart, life smart. She would know how to approach this best. At least you hoped she had something more for you than a Russian rant.
Natasha’s apartment remained in a fancy part of Manhattan, so walking from the suburbs would take you a long time. Khaos offered to take you there faster, to which you initially denied, not wanting to draw more attention to yourself. But you conceded, letting the symbiote overtake your body, and clamber to the rooftops and take you to Natasha’s place.
It was far quicker letting Khaos clamber around and throw herself from rooftop to rooftop. You ended up outside Nat’s apartment, Khaos clinging to the fire escape outside her large window.
Before Khaos could give back over control, a body walked past the window, one neither of you recognised. The woman noticed the large tar like figure snarling outside the window, and screamed in fear.
Panic overtook you, and you demanded Khaos retreat, which she did. But before you were stood as yourself on fire escape, the woman was gone, possibly rushing off to warn Natasha about the alien outside her window. You rolled your eyes, huffing before pushing the window up and letting yourself in.
“I swear to God, Yelena! Right outside that window!” The same voice you heard scream began retelling as three women came into the living room of the large apartment, a smirk displayed on both Natasha and her sister, Yelena’s face.
“Kate, that’s just Y/N and Khaos, relax.” Yelena soothed in her thick Russian accent, clearly finding the whole thing quite amusing. The ‘Kate’ girl was clearly still shaken up from seeing a gigantic monster on the balcony and now a woman stood in front of them.
“Uh, hi?” You tried to offer somewhat of a greeting in an attempt to calm her down, but she straight up looked ready to pass out.
“A phone call would’ve been nice, L/N.” Natasha surmised as she folded her arms. “Probably would’ve saved Kate here a heart attack.”
You looked back at Kate again, who was still trying to regain control of her breathing as she stared at you in a total state of confusion.
“I- but you were- and now you’re-“ Kate tried to speak, but it was all rambling.
You felt bad, which wasn’t great on top of what you were already feeling.
“I have a symbiote. That was Khaos.” You explained, gesturing back to the window lazily with your thumb. “And I’m Y/N. We sorta share a body.” You gestured back to yourself with a nervous chuckle, hoping to lighten the mood.
Kate was still in shock, so Yelena wrapped an arm around the girl before guiding her to the couch. “C’mon, Kate. Let’s sit down and breathe like a normal person.”
You and Natasha watched as the two sat down on the couch, already lost in your own discussion which Khaos could hear was about the two of you.
“Scaring people is fun. Halloween will be great this year.” Khaos chuckled deeply, but the thought of Halloween made you think of Wanda, then kids, then the argument. Your mood quickly fell again, which didn’t go unnoticed by the redhead across the room from you.
“So, asshole. Other than scaring my sister’s girlfriend to death and breaking into my place, to what do I owe the pleasure?” Natasha cocked her head the same way your wife did.
You sighed.
“I kinda need a place to stay.”
“Oh my God.”
“What did you do now?”
A chorus of complaints came from both of the Romanoff sisters, and Khaos laughed internally, making you wince at the volume.
“I- I just… we had a disagreement.” You told her, ignoring Yelena and her unhelpful commentary that was most likely going to occur.
Natasha shook her head, before taking you into the kitchen where she made you both a hot drink, gesturing for you to sit down on the stool by the island.
“Talk to me. What did you guys argue about?” Natasha’s immediate first reaction was to joke about the situation since you had a history of being somewhat of an idiot. But you and Wanda rarely argued, and when you did, it was usually serious. So, she approached this one with care, saving the teasing for later.  
You rested your elbows on the counter, putting your head in your hands as you rubbed your eyes.
“We were talking, just about like…life. And, well, Wanda mentioned about having kids.” You began slowly, and Natasha nodded, already sensing where this was going. “I told her I didn’t want to have kids.”
“Y/N!” Natasha yelled, surprised but not at all surprised.
“I know! I know.”
Natasha placed her palms on the counter, leaning forward slightly, trying to regain your eye contact.
“You know Wanda’s always wanted kids. You knew that when you married her. What’s going on?” Natasha asked you softly. It was an unusual tone to come from her, but when it involved her best friends, she would do anything to help. But first she needed to understand.
"I lied. To her. I want kids, I want that with her, but.” You trailed off again. “I mean, I can’t. I can’t be a parent.”
Before Natasha could interject, you exploded. Your emotions bubbled to the top, and Khaos was being unusually quiet.
“I can’t be a parent! I share this fucking body with an oversized alien with a mouth big enough to swallow a tank! I’m not fit to be a parent anymore, least of all for the family that Wanda wants. Khaos is a monster, and so am I."
“I am not a monster. I am a symbiote.”
“A parasite.” You snapped back to the voice in your head. It was misdirected anger, but you were feeling a lot right now.
Natasha took a deep breath, looking around the room briefly before speaking up again. Part of you hoped that Yelena wasn’t listening in, despite your little outburst. She was not as socially trained as her sister, and would absolutely find a way to take the piss out of you, especially since you nearly stopped her girlfriend’s heart with that little window jumpscare.
“Y/N, look at me.” Nat demanded, and you were not one to disobey a scary Russian ex-spy. “Just because you have a symbiote does not mean your any less able to be a parent. I mean, look at Bruce for fucks sake! He has a kid! But the bonus you have is that you get to be a parent with Wanda. If there was anyone to do something as incredible as having kids with, it would be with her.”
“Are you hitting on my wife?” You tried to joke, but your voice broke and betrayed you.
“Shut it.” She snapped, and your half smile dropped. “Don’t throw away a dream you both have because of your own insecurities. I mean, I know Khaos would never do anything to endanger anyone. She’s a protector. She’s protected you, me, Wanda, the whole team! Why would that change if you started a family? You just get to be the cool parents with superpowers and an extra helping alien-hand.”
Natasha made a good point, unsurprisingly so. She was always good with words one on one.
“Spare room is free. Don’t complain if you hear Yelena and Kate going at it. I put up with living next to you and Wanda in the compound for years.” Natasha told you all at once. Moving around the counter, she took her drink and patted your shoulder as she went to re-join the other girls in the living room.
“Why did you not talk to me?” Khaos asked you, and you let out a sigh.
“Because! I- was parenting ever on your to do list? Probably not!” You yelled exasperatedly. But the symbiote growled in your ear.
“Of course it was not! But, that was life before we met Wanda. She is our everything, and I would do anything to make her happy, including eating that girl in the other room-“ The symbiote began to ramble, but you whacked the side of your head in an attempt to shut her up.
“Dude!”
“I was kidding! My…mission has changed. I protect you and Wanda, including any demon spawn you may have.”
“That was a weirdly nice sentiment, K.” You smirked, the alien humming in approval. “Fuck, I really messed up.
“You’d be surprised what you can achieve from talking.” The symbiote mocked.
“You literally eat people. Shut up.” You grumbled, before pushing yourself up from the island and treading down the hallway to Natasha’s spare room. You pulled your phone from your back pocket as you reached the room, opening your messages to the thread with Wanda. Hesitating slightly, beginning to wonder if texting her was even a good idea and what you would even say to her began to run through your head.
“We’re married, you knew I wanted this! We wanted this!” Wanda yelled at you from across the bedroom.
“I know! But- I didn’t consider the whole, y’know, me and Khaos thing! I married you because I loved you, Wanda.” You tried, but the witch just rolled her eyes, growling.
“You also married us for a future together, Y/N. Last time we spoke, that included having a family and Khaos was very much around for that conversation.” Wanda told you, and you saw the anger growing in her eyes with the flicker of red in her irises.
“She wasn’t exactly talkative during that conversation, back then she was only focused on eating HYDRA agents!” You screamed back. Clearly, the two of you were clearly getting nowhere, and Wanda was losing her patience.
“The lack of communication between you and your symbiote is not my fault!”
“I never said it was!”
“But here I am, suffering the fallout for it because you’re too afraid! You and I both know that Khaos would never hurt anyone, not anymore. Retirement was something I wanted for both of us, and I supported your decision to stay on call for the Avengers-“
“-so this is about me working?” You asked, partially to take the heat of off you.
“You’re being a dick, Y/N.” Khaos chimed in. She was a lot more chilled out now, having begun to settle into a non-violent lifestyle.
“No, it’s not! This is about us! I want this with you, but you don’t want this with me.” Wanda’s tone went calm, but still held venom. “Just, get out. I don’t want to talk to you right now.”
“I have to suffer for this one’s idiocy as well?!”
“Wanda-“
“Get out!”
Yeah, things did not end well.
Writing a big, long paragraph about how sorry you were would mean nothing to Wanda. Actions spoke louder than words, and some half-assed texted apology was not the way to go about making amends with your wife.
So you settled for something straight from the heart.
[Wands <3]
I love you
Delivered 11:49PM
You were surprised when Khaos quickly took control of your hands, her tar-like hands beginning to type on the phone screen.
We love you.
Delivered 11:50PM
“Nice touch, Khaos.”
 You placed your phone face down on the nightstand, shredding your shirt and kicking off your shoes and socks, slightly thankful you were wearing sweatpants. Getting sleep tonight would not be easy, but with every minute that passed would be a minute closer to seeing Wanda again.
Staring at the dark ceiling, you felt stupider than ever for what you said. You did marry Wanda because you loved her, but you married her for everything else that came with loving her, including having a family. You wanted it, but your fear had held you back. But here it was, the fear itself telling you there was nothing to worry about. Khaos was right, she was here to protect you and your family, not harm it.
You just wanted Wanda back. Sleeping in a bed without her was wrong, it felt wrong.
“Khaos! Put me down!” Wanda squealed with laughter as Khaos tossed her over her shoulder, leaving the witch at least ten feet off the ground.
“The louder you scream, the higher you go, Wanda!” Khaos roared back playfully, grabbing her figure, and swinging her around the living room of the compound. It was empty, and Khaos had taken advantage to play around with Wanda.
“Khaos, dude you’re gonna make her sick!” You warned from the inside.
“She is an all powerful witch! Wanda can handle some horseplay!” Khaos ignored your warning, and you smirked internally at their bond. Wanda loved Khaos, her more playful side and less eating-brains side.
Eventually Khaos put Wanda down, who stumbled slightly as the blood rushed from her head. Khaos retreated back into your body, leaving you stood in front of your girlfriend with a goofy smile on your face.
“Khaos will be plenty of fun when we have kids.” Wanda commented half-heartedly, still catching her breath.
“Kids?” Khaos spluttered.
“We aren’t even married yet.” You smirked, slipping your hands around Wanda’s waist.
“Yet. We’ve got all of that to come.” Wanda smiled up at you, pressing a kiss to the side of your mouth.
“Mhm. I can’t wait.” You agreed, sealing it with a kiss.
Those were better days, but it only reinforced that Wanda was right. You did want all of that, and it was your fault for not talking to Khaos sooner.
You had only hoped that Wanda would give you a second chance.
Tumblr media
The sound of yelling in Russian awoke you. The sweet symphony of two sisters arguing was your alarm clock that morning, and it made you want to get out of there even faster. Pulling on your shirt and shoes, you dashed into kitchen to kiss Natasha on the cheek, slap Yelena on the back of the head and mumble a sorry to Kate before dashing out of the window like a crazy person.
“Thanks guys!” You yelled back as Khaos took over your body and began dashing through the city, building to building.
“She is such an ass.” Yelena grumbled, rubbing her head as the three women stared in the direction of the now open window.
“Yeah, she is.” Natasha mused.
It didn’t take you long to arrive back to your shared home, Khaos retreating and allowing you control back. You straightened yourself out, brushing off some dust on your shirt before sheepishly knocking the door. Well, you were about to when the door opened as you raised your hand to knock.
“Oh, um, hi.” You were greeted with a red-eyed Wanda.
“Hey.” She almost whispered back, your heart breaking slightly as you heard the strain in her voice.
“Look, I just-“ You tried to talk, but instead Wanda just grabbed your arm, yanking you inside the house and slamming the door behind you. Leaving you well and truly trapped between her and the door.
“Talk in here. Instead of, y’know, screaming in the street like a crazy person.” Wanda scolded, despite her initial intent to be playful. You felt shame wash over you, and Wanda must’ve noticed because her gazed softened.
“Wanda. Look, I’m sorry. I know, I know that’s a lame fucking starting point, but it’s true. I’m sorry. I’m a coward for hiding behind my own fear because, now that we’re married it’s real! Having kids is an actuality, and I’m scared. Partially because of Khaos, but because of myself, too. I have no idea what I’m doing, and I’m afraid that somewhere down the line one of us is gonna lose control and either of us could put our child in danger.” You began rambling, but Wanda let you continue. “I would never forgive myself if something happened. I know you wouldn’t either, so… it was easier to run from the problem. Wanda, I love you. More than anything, and I know that Khaos does too. That’s enough for me- us. As scary as having kids is, I don’t care, because I get to do it with you. I get to do all of that with you! The most intelligent, beautiful, loving woman in the world! We fought fucking aliens together; we can raise a baby. I don’t care what we do, I just want to do it with you.”
Wanda didn’t say anything, but the trembling of her bottom lip and the pooling of tears in her eyes was enough of a tell that you either did a really good or bad job.
“Wands?” You asked after another beat of silence, before she grabbed either side of your shirt, balling it between her fists and pulling you in for a kiss. She slammed her lips against yours, feeling her hots tears fall upon your own cheeks. It was seamless, like nothing had ever happened with the way you deepened the kiss and slipped your hands on her waist.
Wanda sniffled slightly pulling back from the kiss, but still leaning her forehead against yours.
“You stupid, stupid idiot.” Wanda huffed against you, making you both chuckle. “I really love you. And I can’t wait to do all of this with you, too.”
A growl left your body that certainly wasn’t yours.
“Sorry, both of you.” Wanda corrected herself, which appeased the alien within you. “I love you.”
“We love you too.” You whispered back.
“Don’t do that again, you fucking ass.” The witch pushed you away, letting go of your shirt.
“Yeah, fucking ass.”
“Khaos, lay off, man!”

YOOOO =3
can we get sfw + nsfw headcannons of ink demon bendy with a s/o with a really gothic style & is selectively mute? ( bonus points if Sammy constantly bugs them )
im genuinely curious abt how u would think abt it :0
[ take ur time answering this!! no rush at all by the way!! ; also sorry if my grammars kinda bad iys 3:37 am where im at rn + sry if i seem hyper to im just rlly excited rn😭
i’ve been gone for butt fuck long, my bad! I'm in the process of moving and lifes been a bit hectic. Hopefully im back now!
anyway, thank you anon for the bendy ask!! love writing for this inky-ass man.-
NSFW is under the cut!
-
[-: If we were to give bendy preferences, I know he'd go for a gothic s/o who is on the chubbier side. I say chubbier because A) body warmth, Bendy's a cold-blooded creature and he liked the feeling of your warm body and B) He likes your squishy thighs and tummy. And I know he’d be attracted to the darker, more gothic style. Inky black colors, blood red dresses, he likes the colors. 
[-: I think the ink demon would be good with someone that was mute or had periods of time where they were mute. Whether it be due to anxiety, overstimulation, or you just don’t have many words one day, I think he’d be understanding and would work around it. For many years, he didn’t have a voice, resorting to scribbling messy letters on walls and papers to communicate. If you want to talk while your mute, he’d simply lend you his hand so you can scribble on the wall with it; or he’ll carry around a sketchbook for you to write in, but more often than not he just makes you write with his claws. 
[-: I like the idea of Sammy bugging you all the time because he's interested in your music. It's so different from a classical tune, the drums and guitar, the vocals. He’d constantly be asking about your music. And since goth is a music-based subculture, you have a lot of music to show Sammy. 
[-: Going back to Bendy liking your style, he’d fiddle around with your clothing or accessories. He likes the bling of your necklaces and rings, and often plays with them when you are sitting together. He tries not to break anything, but accidents happen when you have sharp claws. If you do rat-nest hair, rest assured Bendy is curious on how you get your hair to do that. 
[-: I feel like Bendy would find you some victorian or romantic gothic outfits around the studio. He likes taking you to the costume department and letting you run around, picking up some of the black clothing used for character study. Another thing is that he collects small trinkets he think you would think is cool. Sometimes it’s a small rock, other times its a shiny gem he found in a pipe. 
[-: Bendy and Sammy get into a lot of fights around you, for your attention. Sammy wants to learn more about your subculture and what you remember from the outside world while Bendy wants to draw or walk around the studio with you. Good luck time managing. 
[-: Bendy is very interested in your makeup. Please let him draw on you! Speaking of drawing, he also likes to sketch you. His drawings are a bit blotchy and inky due to his skin, and often he'll mess up on a part by lingering too long and having ink form a puddle.
NSFW
[-: He chokes you with your necklaces, not to the point of them breaking but just enough so the chains and pearls dig into your throat.
[-: oh my god he loves your thigh highs. He nibbles around the soft flesh, forked tongue darting around and leaving opaque trails of ink behind. Just no promises that he won’t tear the thin fabric off!!
[-: Relating to the one where he draws on you, he’d love to lightly drag his claws over your stomach, back, or thighs and create delicate drawings onto your skin. Take this as a form of foreplay. (Which bendy isn’t exactly fond of, hes too impatient to go through it.)
[-: Bendy has a scent kink. I believe that he’s blind/has very poor eyesight and relies on noises and scent to find his prey. And his scent is very sensitive. He’ll ask if you can use non-strong soap or something that doesn’t upset his senses. Besides this, he likes to smell your clothing or even your undergarments.
Since i’m nice i’ll give you some elements of a fic i’m working on…
[-: Bendy’s ink that comes from his tentacles and/or cock act as an aphrodisiac. Providing a muscle relaxant and lube, it makes it easier for him to fit more and more of himself into you. He’s a big guy! Ranging at almost eight feet, it’s no surprise that he’s packing something big.
[-: Bendy’s big on CNC/Predator/Prey play. When you talk with him about safe words and the proper measures to have a safe time during CNC, Bendy gets really excited. He’s a demon, creatures of carnal lust and sin.
[-: He also loves to be worshipped. As Sammy has taught him, he’s somewhat of a god to this inky realm and he expects to be treated as one. Sammy does annoy him with his constant spouting, but he’s not opposed to you calling him Lord.
thank you for your request <3 My ask box is always open!! Feel free to send in batim requests.

Astro observations P3🐥
[Disclaimer: these are only my personal observation, no offence to anyone at all]
>> Sagittarius mars people have this thirst to learn more, and experience life. They want to explore their knowledge to the highest level it can. They are curious about the thinking and doings of the world. A slightly more philosophical approach (Given that Jupiter rules sag). Thru travel, meeting people, etc. 
Same with Gemini Mars but for gem mars, It’s mostly thru education than experiences. They are curious about how the world works and communicates each day. How do people experience life and get on with it? They want to know more. 
gem is like a large ocean and sag is like the deepest point. 
>> Moon-Pluto aspects (conjunction and sextile)
You could have an intense deep emotional nature which draws you towards similar people. A connection must be "felt" on all levels of mind-body-spirit for you. You could have the ability to stir raw emotions or show people their own wounds.
>> Virgo Venus- Helping you with daily stuff. They will help you shop your groceries, carry them, and set them up too. They are so considerate in minute ways, if you notice them all (hopefully you do) don’t forget to let them know. They are very detail-oriented, so they won’t let you forget anything. But but, they can be immensely critical and petty. They gon drop you if you don’t take their advice into consideration or if you do something that turns them off lol.
>> All the Sagittarius Sun women I’ve ever seen have been some of the most positive and adventure-seeking individuals. Unless they have a little too much water in their chart, they’re unbothered and care about their life lessons.  
>> I had a friend who was a Scorpio sun and Venus, a Cancer moon with libra mercury and mars. Ever since then, I promised myself, that I’ll only ever commit myself to any guy who gives just as much affection and devotion. 
>> Libra rising eyes- one of those eyes you see in the movies which blink in slow-motion. 
>>Aries moon- they’re the talk everywhere they do. In fact, they bring it upon themselves. 
Signs who the crowd follows- Leo Sun, Aquarius Sun, Libra sun, Aries rising, Capricorn Venus, Leo rising, Scorpio rising, Libra rising, Cancer risings, Geminis, Sagittarius mars, Pisces moons.                                                       If you think of any more leave them in the comment box:)
>> Aquarius sun and cancer moon combo can have such a home feeling. They’ll help you with anything if they love you.  Y’all be making everyone comfortable<3
>>I haven’t had much experience with Pisces placements except for this guy. We crushed on each other, but overall he’s so considerate and caring. 
>>Composite sun in Gemini. Y’all could go on and off. It’s important to communicate and spend time together. You could joke about each other a lot. 
>>Composite Leo rising is the couple who catches everyone’s attention no matter how bad things are between them.  Getting attention as a couple boosts each other’s confidence. 
Tumblr media
Reminder: Don't forget to smile today. Have a good weekend. Life is a gift.🍀
And it's summer y'all ☀️

hi tamadachi ! hope everyone is doing well. i have a topic i just wanna make clear to all my friends, so i am going to make a quick informative and educational post to you all (o^∇^o) this is regarding ai art !! ai art is super harmful to actual artists and can actually permanently jeopardize their work !! ໒( ⇀ ‸ ↼ )७ a lot of people do not know that much about ai art, since it is soooo new ! so let’s take a look at a few reasons ai art can be so destructive !!
ai art is never original - it uses art that real artists have created, and feeds it into a large database.
when you see any ai generated art, it was created using the art of actual artists all across the internet ! more often than not, that art was taken from the original artist without their permission or consent. at that point, that is basically like reposting someone else’s art without crediting the source ! one of the worst harms that can be done to an aspiring artist is separating their work from their name. with ai art, that is happening way more often.
AI art generators use machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks to generate art. Large sets of already-made art are used to teach these algorithms how to find patterns and styles that can be used to make new art.
a lot of people are trying to profit off of ai-generated art.
this is directly affecting a lot of artists financially. i may only do art as a hobby, but many artists use art as their main source of income. when people create ai art and market it, it takes clients away from real artists.
read about real artists who have been directly affected by this here
it takes the attention away from an artist’s original work when you alter their art using ai.
even feeding a picture into an ai and maintaining the original prompt is still harmful. although it may seem cool to watch someone’s drawing get cleaned up or altered by an ai, this can hurt the original artist in many ways. once you feed an image into an ai, it has that data forever. so, now it can use that drawing for prompts in the future, which may aid individuals trying to profit off of ai-generated art (even if that was not your personal intention !!). not only that, but seeing morphed and repeatedly altered versions of their art can really hurt an artist’s psyche ! we already struggle with confidence and motivation just like any other content creator. seeing “better” versions of our drawings can really affect our already shaky self-esteem. think of it like body dysmorphia for artists. it is very real and definitely hurts us !!
alternatives to ai art !!
there are lots of ways to create your own avatars, images and designs even if you cannot draw them from scratch. picrew allows you to design characters from scratch, while still crediting the original artists. there are also many avatar creators, like monster girl maker, pastel girl, etc. which all use art from real artists and credits them accordingly. and, of course, the best way to support an artist you love is by commissioning them !!
hopefully this will help those of you who were not familiar with this concept, and we can continue keeping this platform a safe space for artists to share their content !! (*˙︶˙*)☆*° thank you for everyone who supports the artistic community, and for playing your part in uplifting artists everywhere !!!

For the kinky one piece head canon when I used the generator I managed to get Dacryphilia, Breeding, and Ice cubes :) I was wondering about Zoro, Luffy, and Sanji
*puts on glasses, opens dictionary* Dacryphilia - sexual interest in the sight of tears or crying. Hm... *checks google* Not necessarily tears of distress... Oh I like this: "The crying kink may include sexual excitement from tears, wet eyes, the puffy “crying” face, sad facial expressions, blowing the nose, wiping eyes, the muffled sounds of gentle crying, loud sobbing and weeping, the taste of tears and salty lips, the transformation through crying back to normal, comforting a person crying, making a person cry—a variety of these or all of the above."
OKAY - Now I have a decent idea of what we're dealing with, so let's dive into this one
Hmmm... Since this is the Monster Trio, let's do this one by Kink - I'mma save Dacryphilia to the end so I can properly ruminate on it in the meantime. hits the reverse order button.
Ice Cubes:
Zoro - I head canon Zoro being, not ignorant of sex and intimacy, but not practiced in it. He gets it, but he's just never done it - if there was time to have sex, then there was time to practice with his swords. It's not until someone waltzes into his life that manages to scramble into a position of priority for him that he really starts to pay attention.
And he is an Apt Student. He learns quickly and precisely and then makes those lessons his own - keeps what works for him, tosses the rest. As such he open to trying a lot of things at least once, with very few exceptions.
All that to say this: You didn't know how many uses ice cubes had until Zoro showed you. You didn't realize how impossibly hot another human could feel after tracing the lines of your body with ice. Oh god you didn't even know.
Luffy - Up front - I head canon Luffy as some variety of Ace, not sex repulsed, and not entirely uninterested, but mostly unconcerned. It's neither his dream, his nakama, his hat, or meat, so it's not exactly priority to him. And my poor, lovely, adorable, little idiot Captain only has one brain cell and he shares it with the random beetles he finds xD
But! If you're his namaka, and maybe even closer to him than that, a different flavor of near and dear and there's things you like and enjoy? He's certainly here to try them, as best as he can too. And maybe he'll find things he enjoys in the process \o/
Ice cubes are a Yes for Luffy, because it's a lot like tickling to him. You squirm and make noises and the change in temperature and texture are interesting. Warming you up afterward isn't so bad either, as he wraps himself around you in that way that only a rubber human can, the melt of the ice creating an interesting slip between you.
Sanji - This man's a FUCK Yes for giving and getting in this case. The sensations, the sounds, the squirming - having his own fire cooled by the shaky trailing line you draw down the middle of his chest... Okay, wait that's not really cooling his fire at all, but it still feels nice. The hot blooded chef is also a good candidate for warming you up after the fact, no matter what turn the rest of the evening takes.
Breeding:
Zoro - Yes - He doesn't realize it right away, but eventually it strikes Zoro that he is possessive, hopefully not to a bad point. Maybe it started with his swords, so he didn't think of it in terms of people, because the swords are precious, and yeah they have their own "will", but it's not the same thing. How could he treat you like that?
But possessiveness toward you was something different. It wasn't about bending your will to his, it was about intertwining the two. An exchange he didn't want to see you have with anyone else**. Breeding you, the set up, the execution, the sensation of it, the look of it - all the little details were like marking you in a way that only he could. The look on your face when he filled you up, the look of your body under him, the heat and sensation as he's emptied himself into you. There's few things that are better.
** (I can 100% see Zoro in poly[insert here the suffix as needed], relationships. even if he doesn't realize it at the start).
Luffy - I guess - He's not against filling you up, I honestly don't know if he fully understands the concept of pregnancy. Dadan did the best she could, but he probably got "the talk" from like 8 year old Sabo who half-understood whatever his tutor tried to tell him. It's, again, not a priority, so I don't think he's put much thought or effort toward the entire thing. He enjoys things when you enjoy them, and finishing inside you feels good, but finishing in general also feels good, and I don't think Luffy differentiates much between them.
Sanji - Oh god you don't even know - The intimacy, the connection, the intention, the follow through. Sanji kicks this kink so hard it turns into a Pregnancy Kink if we're being completely honest. At a more nuanced level he loves the details of it - being so completely connected, you being filled with him to over-flowing. The way you look, the intimacy of it, the sweet sounds, the musky scents. There's nuance in food, there's nuance in life (there's nuance in gender Sanji, get with it), there's nuance in kink and sex. He gets it.
But also like, getting to provide you Full Service While You're Pregnant?! The man can't lie, he certainly thinks about it a lot.
Dacryphilia:
Zoro - No to Yes - He has no idea what to do the first time tears overtake you. Stoic as he tries to be, he does not maintain calm the first time. Once you start to explain things to him though, he begins to get it. That Apt Student title kicks in and he picks up on all the finer points, picking things apart until he understands what he likes and what he doesn't. "Negative" tears are something different from "Positive" tears, and he learns where the line is and gets into it with time.
Wiping away your tears, kissing them off your checks, caressing your face when it's puffy and swollen - when you're a mess of pleasure, cum and emotions and it's because he's overwhelmed you so completely? He can get behind that.
Luffy - Sure - Luffy is... more of a nuance guy than he gets credit for honestly. Where and how the line is drawn very easily determines honorable foe from foe, etc. So he gets it. He's even really good at keying into when the tears are good vs when they're bad (I swear he hones in on people's emotions canonically so well it's almost creepy). But to be sure he asks, and listens, and comforts and a few times causes them. He works out the nuances of that line, but there's a feeling that it's more like a puzzle or game. He's not making light of it, but there's no kink connection for him, he's just making sure that he reacts the correct way for the kind of tears that are happening.
And he makes sure that you're crying from positive overwhelming feelings, and not painful ones <3
Sanji - No. Nope. No way. - He absolutely, positively, does not want to see a woman cry. It's a major failing for him, and it takes you two being together for a Long Time to help him understand that sometimes your tears are because you're overwhelmed. It feel too good, you're too happy, etc. The first few times he panics that he's hurt you in some way, but he slowly comes around to understanding the different kinds of tears you shed. He can't help it, he doesn't like any of them, even the good ones make him a little tiny bit nervous. But he will kiss them away, praising you and petting you and letting you know it's okay if you have to cry.

How did the Noti first react to Ezra revealing his Wolfwalker heritage? Hopefully he'd warn them ahead of time XD
Oh boy, Ezra would definitely try to warn them but it obviously took a while for him to learn their language, so the first night he's like trying to pantomime and draw it out. If the Noti understand it, they don't quite believe it until it happens lol.
I think they would have to see it a couple times at a distance. Like the first time, Ezra doesn't think to give some space and they just immediately hide under their shells and refuse to come out until the gigantic wolf goes away. Ezra’s wolf form is huge at that point in time (like Dume sized). I haven't drawn it yet but I will.
So yeah, they'd be terrified the first time. And Ezra doesn't really have a way to prove that its him in wolf form bc of the language barrier and his voice is different, they won't come out so they don't see him change back, and then he has to convince them yes that was me I swear.
But once they're convinced that what they're seeing is real and the giant beast is Ezra, well then they love him. He can protect them from pretty much anything, he can carry a pod that's broken down, they can all ride on his back, etc.
They are very protective of his human body when he leaves for long periods, they brush out his fur, they teach him how to navigate the landscape. Genuinely thinking about them having to say goodbye when Ezra does eventually get home makes me so sad. He got himself ANOTHER family 😭😭😭

Biology Is Hot (2012 Donnie x Fem Reader)
Anon Requested: 
 hey! I was wondering if you could do a 2012 Donatello x  reader who love biology? (She/her but if you don’t wanna do that it’s ok!)
A/N: For some reason the gifs aren’t loading. Apologies
“This creature has an extra chromosome...” You say as you look through the microscope.
Donatello looks up at you from across his lab. You both have been on the project for forever. The Foot Clan have been testing out this new mutagen on other people. It started off with lab rats, guinea pigs, dogs, and cats. Donatello just happened to pass by and snagged one. Poor little guinea pig has glowing red eyes and extra arms on it’s back that oozed some sort of substance. You both made sure to sedate it before drawing it’s blood.
“Does it?” He asks walking over to you and standing behind you.
You tense up and feel yourself blush.
“Uh yeah... In my Biology Honors class we are learning about genetic mutations as well as what Chromosomes correspond with it.” You say turning to face him
Donatello is looking at you in a way you haven’t seen before. His mouth was hanging open slightly. You can see the cute little gap in his teeth and his pupils seem to be dilated.
“A-Anyway! The little guy as a disease that affected the change in his DNA. I think that is why he is oozing. His body is trying to reject it... The thing must be suffering...” You say frowning before turning around to write in your notes.
“Can I see?” Donnie asks and you nod.
You go to move out of the way but you find yourself caged between his arms as he leans over your shoulder to look the the microscope. You couldn’t tell if it was your heart pumping or if it was the bass from Raphaels music in your ears. Your face must be beet red.
“Great job Y/N! That’s my girl!” He exclaims as he pulls away from you and messes up your hair.
Your face couldn’t possibly burn any redder. “Y-You’re welcome Donnie!”
He pulls away and smiles a big smile.
                                                     ***
“How is your Biology class going? You got boosted to honors huh?”
Donatello didn’t know how to feel about you. You were breathtakingly beautiful. You had a love for science, you were never bored or tired of his ramblings, and holy shell your mind seemed to be on par with his. He can hear you talk about your class now but all he can focus on was your lips and how you moved when you talk. He would kiss you, but who would want to be kissed by a turtle? 
“Yeah! That’s great!” Donatello says trying to add to the conversation.
He finds it very hot that you like Biology and try to take the time to try and understand other types of sciences. He has been sending you cute little science puns but you haven’t been getting the hints, but he will keep trying. He likes you so he will spend the rest of his time with you trying to get you to realize his feels, even if he doesn’t outright say it.
“Well I have to go Donnie! See you tomorrow?” You ask and he nods trying to hide his face of disappointment.
He waits for your hug that you normally give him. You pointed out that he is a tucker, which means he tucks his head into your neck when he hugs back and he does just that.
“Hey uh... Maybe we can...” Donnie draws out jeez this is embarrassing.
“Yes?” You ask. You have this glint in your eyes, but it seems to diminish after he says this.
“How about we hang out and... I help you with you Algebra homework! You have been struggling right?” 
Oh god. He is rambling and your face looks so dejected for a moment until you smile again.
“Sure! We can get pizza as well! Call it a date?” You ask hopefully.
Donnie’s face would be a crimson red out of both excitement and embarrassment. He wanted to be the one to ask you out, but this could work!
“Y-Yeah it’s a date!” He exclaims
You giggle before pressing a kiss to his cheek and dashing out of there.
Raphael just happens to be passing by so he pokes his head in.
“What’s up with her?” He asks
“I my friend have got a date! Now leave! I need to make the lab perfect!” He says before shoving Raph out of the room and locking it.
“I have to make this right...”

Zhuang's JttW Doodles #1
The chase for fame and wealth will never cease, Rising early and retiring late, a life never freed. Body on a mule, mind on a noble steed. Now a minister, wishing to be a royal breed. They suffer fatigue and stress, for mere clothing and food. Never fearing that the kings of the underworld will have them hooked. Seeking for their descendants, riches and fortunes. Not one, not a single one, willing to turn back and look.

Hi, this is Zhuang. I made all the art for this series.
In the future, I will be posting doodles I made almost 10 years ago when I could kind of draw but not really. Not sure if I'm entirely out of that state now but hopefully I have improved.
Each one corresponds to a specific passage in the original text, as written on the doodle itself in traditional Chinese. And I will also put the English translation from the audio drama down below for your reference. Not every chapter has a doodle, so I will post the ones we've already covered in the drama, and the rest as we eventually get there.

Why I chose this scene:
This poem to me has always been one of the most underrated parts of JttW and Wu Kong's character development. Very few adaptations chose to depict his earliest encounters with human society and even fewer chose to show how disappointed he became in the end (I can only remember one). Instead, many portrayed Wu Kong as ignorant about the human world to the point of looking almost stupid. But that is very much contrary to what the novel tells us.
Of course he was initially curious and dazzled, but he also spent almost a decade just moving through human society and watching all that went on around him. The sentiments expressed in this poem is certainly not from someone who is still naive. It sounds calm, almost solemn. And this is Wu Kong BEFORE he found the Way and all the brilliance of immortality. Even before he found the truth, he had figured out what was certainly not the truth. He was very clear about what he did not want in life.
And this is a fact many forget to bring along as they interpret Wu Kong's subsequent adventures. Wu Kong was seen as unruly and disobedient by those who made the rules. But Wu Kong didn't do what he did because he was ignorant or wild or mean. Wu Kong did what he did KNOWING what the rules were but simply chose not to play by them. He knew exactly how the world functions and what was expected of him, but he simply refused to play the game. If anything, his immense powers gave him more autonomy to hold on to his childish innocence, to declare to those in power, "I insist on experiencing this world in my unique, monkey way."
It is natural for someone who has no knowledge of the world to remain innocent and pure. But it takes active courage to hold on to that innocence AFTER learning all that was ugly and rotten about the world. If anything, his deep disappointment in the world only made everything he did against it more valuable and brave.
Wu Kong knew more about the world than he would have liked and STILL chose to remain innocent and pure. That is not something Pu Ti or any other powerful god taught him. That is something he found out and kept in his heart by pure will. This is why I personally resent any portrayal of Wu Kong as some out-of-control ape or a one-dimensional silly monkey. He is much more than that.

I need to walk for health because I'm not loving how I feel, but I over-exercised as part of my ED so exercise triggers my ED thoughts (including suicidal ideation) and the risk of relapsing is Real. Searching for a solution that won't push me into relapsing OR turbo-charge my dysphoria OR enrage me has been upsetting in a way I don't know if anyone who has not had an ED can understand. If you know, you know.
So I finally thought about the zoo, and it was such a great idea. It's perfect. So I went and got a zoo membership two days ago so I can just go whenever and I probably should not have spent the money but boyfriend made really good tips this week and offered to cover it, and it occurred to me this one thing does ALL of the following for one (1) entire year:
I can access a very walkable space.
Place to go when I am restless but can't afford to go back home for a while.
Not a gym.
My hearing-impaired ass will be safe from car traffic.
No dogs.
No people on bikes that I can't hear.
Not jostling for space with joggers/bikers/etc. on those overly narrow public park trails and sidewalks, which makes me hate my body even more.
It's very very safe. No harassment, no crime.
Very few other people visibly exercising.
Less people Looking At Me (they are mostly busy Looking At animals).
Lots of bugs.
Many plants.
Things to touch.
People-watching.
Place to draw many things! <- Main appeal.
Non-zookeeper staff there is mostly queer! And when they learn you are queer they tell you which animals are gay.
It's the penguins. They have gay penguins.
Sneps.
Stared at by tigers -- all the intensity of being about to die with none of the fear!
Smells smells smells! Stinky smells, good smells, food smells, flower smells, lots of animal smells.
Lots of personal space. Hand sanitizer everywhere.
No music outdoors.
Train?! Train!
Petting zoo.
Will acclimate me to weather and sun over time.
Free! Ish.
I can go and just take short trips if I want.
Picnic area.
Access to attached huge nature park and educational/rec center.
Can bring a friend.
Cheap admission to many other zoos and aquariums.
I have raging ADHD and don't have the dopamine to spare on exercise for exercise's sake. Some of you will know what I mean, will understand that this is. Just. A terrible hurdle.
Downsides:
Sunscreen. Blech! (Lotion is heavy and hurts to apply and remove but spray works.)
Long drive, I live across town. (Can't change that but I can get up earlier.)
Lots of glass and I hate reflective surfaces. (A Challenge, but I can hopefully cope.)
It is hot outside a lot (but that's true of anywhere not indoors, and there's tons of shade and benches and indoor areas).
That's it. Those are the downsides.
Our zoo is good. It used to be really bad when I was little but over the last 20 years it has been revamping everything, the new enclosures are gorgeous and enriching. It isn't depressing to be there. It's nice.
We went today and had a great time. It felt way better not trying to see everything in one go, and I'm not tired or sore. I just feel good.
I just...wanted to talk about this. How hopeful I am today, to have not just solved a problem but maybe snatched a little happiness for myself for a while. To potentially make any further headway on an ED at this point, 15 years or so out, is pretty remarkable. There's pitfalls to watch for but this is so much better than anything else I've considered.
Maybe I will get bored of the zoo. I don't know! But I think that will take a while.
Look at this bad picture of three snep siblings lolling like housecats:
Tumblr media
Not gonna get bored of those mighty beans.

I was thinking about Astarion and mirrors and how the vampire trait of not seeing ones own reflection is a really great metaphor of trauma come to think of it.
For Astarion being a vampire is intrinsincably linked with his traumatic past. Being turned was in itself violent and coersive and then the subsequent 200 years of slavery came.
A consequence of the assault, of becoming a vampire, is not being able to see ones reflection and we see Astarion deal with this when he is free.
We see that not being able to see himself is an uncomfortable and disorienting experience for him. Not only does it remind him “of yet another thing he lost” but it also alienates him from himself and his body. He doesn’t know what he looks like as a vampire, he can’t see the effect the assault had on him but just has to paint a picture by himself. That is until Tav (potentially) offers to be his mirror.
The thing that possibly bothers Astarion the most being hidden from him is the scars on his back. He knows something got carved in his back but he lacked agency in the situation to the extend that he didn’t even get to know what it depicted.
When Tav (potentially, again) offers to be Astarions mirror and describe/draw the scars, its a kind gesture that confuses him because he doesn’t trust people at this point. But even being vulnerable (afterall he is litterally turning his back on Tav, a prime position of being backstabbed) is worth the risk to him because he just wants to know what it says (and also later he is willing to make a deal with a devil for it as well, although that’s pretty standard Astarion).
Then we come to the drow interaction where Tav (hopefully) respects Astarions boundaries and that takes Astarion a back. Later he tells Tav that it made him realize that he was still thinking like he was Cazadors slave. He hadn’t even questioned the fact that he was ready to cross his boundaries if he were told to, before Tav put it into perspective by treating him like a normal person.
This is a scar from the abuse, just like the scars on his back, that he couldnt see without the help from another person. Astarion needed to form a connection to figure out how to heal from the abuse, he needed someone to draw out the scars and help him find out what they mean because he litteraly cant on his own and i think thats a very real portrayal of healing.
Ones perception gets really fucked after long term trauma. You don’t know whats normal behavior because it hasn’t been modeled properly to you and you learn to surpress your intuition. You stop listening to yourself because you have to surpress the parts of you that sees your circumstances as unfair because that’s how you deal with it when you can’t escape. This doesn’t just go away when you are free. You have to start recalibrating a bunch of learned beliefs, you still have the scars that need healing and you often need help just identifying them.
And the thing is this is also what we are doing when we relate to Astarions story. We try to see how our stories are similar, we use connection and comparison to find scars, to find a truth again. When we relate to Astarion we can see how the story treats him, how he is percieved by the narrative, and we only see gaps of how he percieves himself and that can give us a more objective perspective to our own situations.
This doesn’t replace having a real life Tav, to speak with real people but i think it’s still very powerful. Astarion has been impactful to a lot of people and i think he can inspire us to be as brave as him and open ourselves up to help. We got this.
