#before the dust settles

[rach-amber]

2 precious blondes with hazel eyes: the bunny & the doe 🐇 🦌 (notice they're both prey not predators)

The settling dust comics cover shows game Rachel with her blue earring, mostly submerged but her face being above water with her eyes opened could mean a "rebirth" in the sense that Rachel is alive in another universe.

While Kate in the upcoming forget-me-not cover, has her eyes closed. She is to be remembered by Alex and the rest... Even haunting them.

🥲 why do the most precious characters with green/hazel eyes always die!?

Day 4 of the Zone 8 Market Event :)

The Dust Settles.

@realkilljoyhoursnow hello!!!

#its not very good but i tried my best #im tired #and allergies are making my skin hypersensitive so sensory overload lol #the dust settles immediately reminded me of the venom siblings #yk - after leaving the city or some other conflict that leaves them mellow #silence before the storm ykkk #anyways #party poison #kobra kid #venom brothers #danger days

talk to me about profound, formative events in adulthood impacting people's settled daemons. are their shapes set in stone? would a strong enough experience manage to cause a crack in their settled shape? is there such a thing as daemon dysphoria? do our daemons define us, or do we define them?

#his dark materials #daemons #like ok i know daemon settlement is related to dust and adulthood or whatever #but they reflect peoples souls and the kind of people they are #AND THAT CAN CHANGE #our souls can be broken or elevated at any time of our lives #we can experience things so profound and of such incredible importance that i truly believe a person can be changed at their core #at any moment of their life #i was thinking about recently when i took an mbti test for fun for the first time since i was 20 #so arguably an adult and would have had a long set daemon by hdm standards #mbti as most other personality tests widely available on the internet are bullshit but still #a few years back it consistently would give me infp and i definitelt related to that #now its enjf and yea. i grew and changed a lot over these years and the defining qualities do seem to fit #so that made think about my own daemon again and while before an african civet seemed the perfect fit now i found im a gray wolf #[using the daemonpage forum for reference btw; their analyses are superb] #anyways yea #this just led me to think about how constricting the concept of settled daemons is #people change over their whole life #sometimes the most defining changes dont happen during adolescence. sometimes we 'grow up' more than once #what happens then #granted i have not read everything pullman ever wrote so i might be wrong #but i dont think this has been ever properly explored #i want to talk about this so bad

Now we wait :)

#mutantenfisch tank #<- my new tag for my aquarium endeavour #i got this 60 l cube for cheap on ebay and it's going to house some shrimps and about a dozen small fish in the future #thinking about a school of 5 to 7 of either Otocinclus or Corydoras pygmaeus about 9 to 13 celestial darios and about a dozen red shrimps #can't remember their exact name just now #but before the critters move in there i want this baby to boot itself up and the plants to grow in #so there won't be any fish there before next year :) #still waiting for the literal dust to settle that i stirred while planting the background plants #let's hope they take root!!! #also yeeeee moss ball algae my beloveds!!! #still thinking about getting some nylon strings from grandpa to turn them into floating balls though :) #or pull the big one you can see apart to attach it to the root

Prompt #23: Suit

It was cowardly, it was dangerous--but Augustine didn't care. Out of a handful of people he could absolutely trust in the city, Mathye was on top of the list. He felt safer within his elder brother's small apartment than the palatial setting that had awaited him in the Vault (after a very fast remodel). He felt safer continuing his duties--patrols, helping out the commonfolk--than the life of leisure that he was being encouraged to take.

And he felt safer in the suit of armor that Mathye had prayed over and blessed, than the one given to him by the Archbishop. He was treading a fine line--he was on thin fucking ice, but Augustine didn't care. Mathye was his family, his only family--as far as he was concerned. Let him have the honors of being related to Halone's Dominant--and not the Seymours. Augustine didn't care if he was setting a bad example. One of the few good advantages of being Halone's Dominant was that he could get what he wanted--and in those first few days of shock and confusion after his Priming--Augustine got his wish, a complete and total severance from his stepfather's family.

No longer Augustine Seymour but Augustine Bishop, Dominant of Halone. Let the reasons why be aired out in the public for all and sundry--any love for his birth mother had shrived up and died years ago. Mathye had the same opinion for the father they shared--it was Ishgard. They had been looked down upon anyway. What was it to the pair if the gossipmongers feasted upon the meal that was their family bloodline? Not like they could do anything worse to the siblings. And as for retaliation by the nobleborn and the Church--the potential wrath of the commonfolk for any attempts made would be good enough protection for the moment.

Augustine was taking a stand, and didn't care who he offended--or what noble or clerical feet he stepped on.

hey anyone who might happen to be a Real Adult who knows things about houses and whatnot. I think I accidentally made myself allergic to my own bedroom (???????????) what do?

#for context (maybe) #I tidied it top to bottom a couple days ago to take pictures for a rental ad #ever since then when i spend more than 5 minutes at a time in it my nose runs and my head gets really fuzzy feeling #I've gone outside and it's not a seasonal allergies thing it gets better when i go outside #my leading theory is maybe i stirred up dust? but wouldn't that have settled by now? what? do??? #do i just have to vacuum or do i have a mould problem or do i need to like. call the ghostbusters #ik there are 30+ tumblr users please any ideas/experience is appreciated hdhfhjfs #i am Sniffling In My Abode rn #anyone had this before. what do to fix

[chasing-stardust-22]

Finally deleted twitter off of my phone and haven't looked at it in over a week, god it's so freeing

#I'll probably still use it after the dust settles from the video (not looking forward to clearing out my following of any new drantis again) #But not NEARLY as much as I was before #Time to finally become a tumblr main

absolutely fine with any delay to see some more of The Shadow Of Dust

Billy laughs as they pass the sign to the high school. Somehow, it manages to sound both surprised out of him, and cruel. “Look at that, ‘Ris. We match the mascot. Isn’t that… charming.”

#wip wednesday #the shadow of dust #getting this out of the way before posting the list for this week thanks for your patience have a daemon form reveal for Billy #tiger just works really well for him but also I specifically want to get into the battle for the crown bullshit with Billy's daemon #literally matching the mascot and (if I do settle on lion for Steve) a cat fight posturing element

[smerzbeliever]

what was the motivation when people were feverishly trying to prove that ukrainian soldiers were antisemitic like was that supposed to make the occupation okay

#it was actually weird how little just like. human sympathy the left showed like i get you have to be ideologically vigilant but there was li #like infants being blown up #like before the dust had even settled the focus was immediately on how evil ukraine is like okay!! you proud of yourself?

[wizardysseus]

trying to get used to the idea that i’m just going to have this low-to-mid level anxiety for the next week until my new job starts, and then i’m going to be very very tired for 2-3 weeks after that, because those are my body and brain’s natural response to life change. and therefore i’m not allowed to make any other big life decisions for at least a month

#this is my life #the dust has to settle in the water and then i can decide how i actually feel. not before

[arttheclown]

you know what would’ve made season 9 like a million times better. if they kept the grogar twist but it turned out discord’s intentions were to reform the villains along with trying to help boost twilight’s confidence LOL

#horseposting #im not the first person to say this #it’s been discussed before #but after watching the frenemies episode i #*WHOLLY stand by this #why would discord send them off to work together for any reason but to make them like each other. you know. #because he didn’t WANT THEM to win. be a challenge for twi absolutely but not BEAT her #and given that the entire message of the show revolves around friendship and harmony #and the last season revolves around unity. idk #the ending feels a bit harsh now 😬 granted the villains ended up being REALLY dangerous by the end but. #i still wish things were handled differently #even if they still ended up being big threats i like the idea of them being exiled together rather than turned to stone #i can see why discord did it in the heat in the moment but given that he was stuck as a statue for a whole millennium #i just. idk he’s selfish but is he really so selfish that he wouldn’t empathize at all? #especially once the dust had settled #just food 4 thot

"peter!"

marlene was already growing impatient with anger, a lump forming in her throat as she waited for her friend to turn around.

"yes, marlene?" he asked, fiddling with his corduroy jacket, and, before he knew it,

"expelliarmus!" she shouted, and his wand flew gracefully in her opened palm. she looked at it and then glanced up briefly to Peter, an animalistic look on her face.

peter's eyes widened in shock and unexpectancy. "marlene!" he exclaimed nervously. "what... what are you doing, what's-?"

she cut him short, pushing him against the wall, her face contorted in pent-up anger, her wand pointed to his throat, merely touching it. she felt peter shivering.

"give me," marlene hissed in his ear, and she could feel him tensing up between her arms, "one, single, fucking reason for which i wouldn't kill you right this second."

"b-because i am your friend!" he stammered, trying to slide himself away.

"you are no friend of mine!" she roared with fury. "you traitor! you scumbag! you filth! i once called you my best friend!" she shouted, tears running down his face.

"w-what are you talking about?" he stuttered nervously.

"you're the mole, you fucking, cheating bastard!" she snapped furiously, glaring in his electric blue eyes, and she noticed something in them shift. "i got you all figured out, peter pettigrew. i won't let you get any further than this,"

she laughed, hoarsely, humorlessly, and it almost didn't sound like the old marlene if it wasn't the sarcasm that her laugh always had.

"how-?" he whispered.

oh, so then he believed he was good at hiding it. funny, how he imagined he was so good at this game, marlene laughed, deep within her. foolish boy.

"i caught on the signs. you were never hurt, you were never there. and that," she brusquely pulled his sleeve, despite his attempts at hiding; the dark skull, his tongue a snake, marked in peter's pale skin. "is the final thing that showed me that it's you, that evening when albus told us."

"i-"

"petrificus totalus," she said, mercilessly, and watched him fall to the ground, stiff as a board.

"you're the next to die, marlene mckinnon!" he shouted after her.

marlene scoffed. as if.

#another one bites the dust #and this was the last one gents! settled right before the events of the girl gone cray #peter was right; marlene would be the next one to die and he knew that. because he would be the ones to kill here ajajajajajaja #also hc they were best friends and she was the nicest to him and that's why his betrayal hurt her the most #peter pettigrew #marlene mckinnon #my writing
