wing aus my beloved. reading your fic makes me wanna draw wings stuff so here's a couple lads.

(the most recent chapter Really inspired me, but the sketches weren't coming out right, so here's some simple doodles instead)

AAAAAA OH MY GOD OOUUHGHHH

Okay that's out my system now (mostly). These are so cute! I love them! No one's ever drawn anything because of my fics before (as far as I know), I'm sobbing. And I know these are just some doodles but still! That's super kind of you!

Ingo's simple face in the first one is really funny to me for some reason, I love it. And the pose in the second one is so cool! I just really like all your art so this was amazing to wake up to this morning!

I'm so glad you liked the newest chapter of the fic! And I hope those sketches work out if you decide to go back to them!

#submas #subway boss ingo #warden ingo #wing au #like i cant say it enough thank you so much! #i put all my creative points into like writing and crocheting and i dont have the patience for drawing #so i just stand at the sidelines happily enjoying anything anyone draws #ive been thinking about these pics all morning and im gonna be thinking about them all afternoon #i would have answered this ask when i first saw it but i had p much just woken up and couldnt formuate anything other than noises #so here we are on my break #anyways #thank you again!! and i hope you have a great day!! #tracks through the clouds #jumpscared by an ask once again

Fearne looks at Imogen and asks "Are you sure it wasn't intentional?" and, oh boy, like-

Ashley says that Fearne is dealing with all kinds of new emotions since leaving the feywild- anxiety and fear and a gutwrenching feeling when someone you love is- not there anymore. However briefly. Fearne is still learning about the ins and outs of these emotions, the way they can take you over.

But it also means, I think, she lacks a certain kind of shame about it, about the way fear cracks her voice when Orym disappears from her sight, about the way she gets a little frantic at the thought of losing him- of losing any of them.

(And Fearne still feels bad about the coin toss- still grappling with it when she looks at Laudna. Because that was a snap decision with other people she loves on the other side, and maybe Fearne is still figuring out what to do with this kind of regret- what you can even do, in the throes of that kind of fear. but. i think that's its own meta.)

and Fearne has never been one to fear power, on its own- just marvelled in it, in the way that enemies fall and the air grows heavy and the world turns darker. It's a beautiful thing, isn't it? Just stunning. Gorgeous.

Fearne watches Imogen, who has been growing quieter and more frenzied and on edge, who is beautiful and powerful and who was, she knows, at some point hovering above them all, as their bodies lay strewn about a battlefield, so many of them ripped away from her and lost. And asks: "Are you sure it wasn't intentional?"

Referring to levelled city blocks but. Maybe thinking of- the bottomless pit that opens up if she thinks of a gap where Orym should be, of "Orym is dead" and a body in her arms, and maybe thinking of that threefold, crackling power in her veins, thinking of a panicked coin toss that tastes sour, weeks later, and all the other decisions a person might make, with that kind of fear in them.

And I don't think there's a world where Fearne would hold Imogen's answer against her.

But Imogen- Imogen who has been hearing, over and over, warnings about giving into the storm, about searches for answers going wrong, danger on their heels, who has power tinted red churning inside of her and keeping her friends safe, keeping everyone safe, who has been sneaking out to try to get answers from a mother who is- working with the enemy. Who can't even say the words, that Laudna was. dead. (Laudna is back now, Laudna is okay, Laudna is back.) Who has new entities she can summon that hurt her and the people around her but get the job done.

Who has all of this power, and all these reasons to use it, and all the ways it could hurt everyone if she does. Or maybe if she doesn't.

(Or maybe- maybe the choice isn't even in her hands at all, right?)

And there's a long silence, there's a long pause, where she doesn't look, she doesn't move,

and she says "I don't-." and she says "It just happened, Fearne, after Laudna-

It just happened."

And I don't know if she believes it, and I don't know if Fearne does, and I don't know if it matters (it probably does?) and- oh boy.

#the fearne meta part of this went swinningly and then i ground to a halt on imogens paragraph bc like. honestly who can encapsulate what #went on in those seconds of silence. is that even physically possible. 3 million thoughts and indecipherable noises. she needs a break™. #critical role #c3e43 #imogen temult #fearne #pastel powerhouses #how do you even try to capture whats going on with Imogen right now tbh. im not sure she can even think about it. gal is Going Through It. #character meta #fearne meta #imogen meta #my meta #speculation #orym #fearnrym

Done with my third semester of grad school!

#I am now halfway through the coursework portion of my PhD #highlights of this semester included: #teaching an undergrad language class for the first time #(so much work! but very rewarding) #and making rapid progress with Polish #(the start of adding a new lang. and lit. to my research space!) #next semester will be a similarly intense workload #but at least I have a bit of a winter break first #during which I will read ahead as much as I can #(and I expect to fall back into my old habit of brain-noise poetry) #(now that my hours are more my own again) #(I had no headspace during the semester — constantly busy)

i haven't visited this bridge in years

#photography #bridge #nature #train tracks #when i was a kid we used to go on this bridge all the time #back then it was rickety and without the fenced walls and ceiling #and i would jump and stomp my way through it to make it shake and make noise #such a daring thing to do for such a scared kid like me. can't believe i did that #especially since i had and still have a phobia of things breaking under my or other people's weight

Oh gods. Okay. I was supposed to throw him in at the very end when the whole squad is done but he didn't give me peace. There we go

Yurand. That little shit who doesn't want to share brain space with anyone. Look at him. There he is

#artists on tumblr #clone trooper oc #my ocs #oc sundays #ct 1410 #44th infantry squad #I know it seems like I speak with anger but actually I'm just. I need a moment #*incoherent noises* #I'd let him do things to me. Yes I'm sleep-deprived it's 3am as I type this #I. I love him your honor #also funny how the literal opposite of a chick magnet looks like a total chick magnet #ok this was a hyperbole but you get it #also fun fact: not pictured here because I forgor but he started going grey like halfway through the war #I don't know what does it add to anything but it is a fact indeed #He needs a break ok? Preferably somewhere far away where he can keep spickens (space chickens) in peace. And I need to go to sleep damnit

#something that explains why you still went looking for me through all of this noise #everything everywhere all at once 2022 #eeaao #evelyn wang #joy wang #jobu tupaki #i think this broke me in a way nothing else will ever break me. like it fucking saw me #my heart aches. theyre outside the laundromat and everything is so loud ans theyre yelling at each other begging each other

[laniidae-passerine]

Honestly I think Dean Highbottom has some shit to answer to as well. The mockery, the derision, the outright admittance that he was hoping Coriolanus would fail and the Snow family would continue to suffer. How someone who loathed the Games still treated a young man with cruelty because of the past, because of social divides that would be so easy to tear down. In the end, it wasn’t just Gaul who shaped Snow into the man he became. So bitter and hateful. So incapable of compassion and forgiveness. Just like his father. Just like his Dean.

#like yeah there were a lot of things questionable about Snow even before he was chosen as a mentor in the games #but like. damn. you didn’t even consider the idea he could be better than his father did you? #the way kindness could have unravelled some of the hate in Snow’s heart #listen to me tell you the horrible things your father did. listen to me tell you that you can be different. you are not the past. #the divides between us do not truly exist. look at the weapon in your hand. it is real. and it can do real damage #but if you never hate someone - if they never fool you into letting violence into your heart - they can never make you use it #it breaks my heart. how could you hate a ghost so much that you’d kill a child. I don’t know. but the Dean does. and so does Snow. #the cycles run and run until somebody stops. and burns some bread. and shares berries. and takes an arrow. and says no more. I love you #it is difficult. it could hurt me. it could be the very last thing I do. it may not even serve me well. but I love you. I love. always. #how pathetic hate makes you. how strong love makes you. like staring at the Dean and staring at characters like Haymitch #like two substance abusing men who know the system inside out. who are complicit. who are victims. both embittered and angry. #but one saw a child and decided to punish him for the past #and the other saw a child and decided - okay. it’s been 23 years. my heart hurts. I want to give in. I want to hate you. I want to not care. #I’m going to care anyway. I’m in so much pain. It’s killing me. I’m going to care anyway. about you both. it won’t be perfect. but I care. #and I’ll be here through hell. and I will fuck up. so fucking badly. because I’m still addicted and angry and god knows I have suffered. #god knows these hands are bloody and they always will be. but I will keep coming back. I will keep trying. I will still love. #and in the end I will write names in a book that belongs to you and I will find a little bit of peace in a house where the sun shines #and the geese make ridiculous noises in the yard. and love will have seen me through. #HAYMITCH YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS I LOVE YOU MY IMPERFECT DARLING #dean highbottom #coriolanus snow #the hunger games #a ballad of songbirds and snakes #haymitch abernathy #thg #abosas #suzanne collins #SHE WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS

starting to realize that i’ve formed a deeply emotional parasocial bond w gege akutami and i don’t know how to deal w this information </3

#there’s this podcast i like…. and they were doing a game where they had to guess the mangaka based on their health condition #through quotes….. #and they got to a certain quote that INSTANTLY made me go ”it’s akutami!!!!! :D” bc the way it was written was just . so akutami 😭😭 #”my mental health is completely fine so do not worry about it. i’m really sorry i’ll have to keep you waiting.” (after one month break) #that polite disregard for his own health…….. the way it’s written……………….. #akutami for sure. #and it WAS akutami which made me happy bc neither of them guessed right but also. i don’t like how fast my brain worked it out 😭😭 #sigh…. akutami my love…… my enemy……….. #ari noises ✩

[oh-hools]

one thing about years is that they'll always have some sort of music in them. has anyome else noriced this

#hooly noises #every year it feels like theres an artist whose discography becomes the only thing i listen to for the most part. for the rest of the year #the scary jokes glass beach pup jeff rosenstock #its kind of turned into something to look forward to. thought itd just be pup (<3) again this year but hellmode came out and i realized #fuuckk. this shits good #looking forward to next year. glass beach plastic death coming out in january. the singles have been rly rly good #just a pattern ive been noticing. my brain needs to latch onto an artist or two to fuel an entire year or else i'll become listless and shri #vel up like a raisin #but a lot of the time im sooo stubborn about listening to new music or playing new games or what ever. so when somethinf breaks through that #it has to be either really special on its own or really fucking catered to me. and also i have to be in the mood #which is why listening to doubt off of hellmode as a single i was like jesus man. are you hearing this. and promptly dove off into the deep #end #cool music. shout out to cool music that i like

(Fuck it, why not?)

Efficiency yawns as they float through the realm of time, mirrors floating around them. It was the same old as ever, making sure the timeline was okay and nothing was out of place.

They land in front of a large mirror and reach out a hand, swiping against it as they look through. Mirror Sprites gather around them, all looking nervous.

"Uhm, Efficiency?" One speaks up, floating over. "There's, uh.. something we need to tell you."

"Hm?" Efficiency's eyes don't leave the mirror, but they give a hum, letting the sprite know that they're listening.

"There's.. a small hiccup in the timeline that needs to be fixed."

"Oh?" They raise an eyebrow. "We have two different meanings of small. Was someone meant to die, or did someone make a wrong decision made?"

"Someone.. was meant to die?" The Mirror Sprite squeaks.

They sigh. "Very well. Name?"

"Abyssal."

They raise a brow as they use the large mirror to swipe through. "Cause?"

"The Abyss."

Efficiency momentarily shudders. They were glad to have gotten away from the Abyss before it ever realized it made them. In the realm of time, that thing could never reach them, and no one knew of them. That was fine by them.

They get to the point in time and sigh. Abyssal looked like a good Admin, if not a push-over, but what had to be done had to be done.

Closing their eyes, code warps around them, and they assume their true form. Lifting an arm, mirror shards form their fingers. They reach forward, using their code to reach into the past-

When their fingers clink against the mirror, refusing them access to the past.

They clink their fingers against it again.

Slowly, the Mirror Sprites begin to back away.

Swiping further back, to another mistake, they try against to push into the past.

The mirror refuses to bend.

As Efficiency continues to try, the Mirror Sprites all slowly back away, knowing full well what was to come. Some even duck behind mirrors, in hope that'll protect them.

Efficiency stops, eyes glaring towards the mirror. Their body begins to shake with rage.

"Hit the deck!" A larger and older Mirror Sprite cries, and all the sprites preseny duck behind mirrors has Efficiency proceeds to curse like a sailor, their wings fluttering so quickly they could be used to power a whole city.

They slam their fist against the mirror, growling lowly. "So many.. mistakes. And I can't fix them."

They slowly drag their sharp fingers down the mirror, wings shuttering. "Maybe I'll need a different approach to fixing these.."

"But.. They're cemented in the timeline!" One sprite calls. "Won't changing them affect everything?"

"They're still considered mistakes by the mirror." Efficiency sighs, reverting to their more compressed form. "I'll work something. We'll continue work as usual."

Mirror Sprites, all nervous, just nod and slowly float off.

A more senior one, however, floats down.

"Blue," Efficiency greets him.

"Efficiency, please think about this." Blue says, floating after the time god as they jump down to a long platform. "If these changes are solidified, then they must have been meant to happen."

"Then why does the mirror consider them mistakes?" Efficiency argues.

"Because they used to be, but they aren't anymore." Blue closes his eyes, shaking his body. "Come now, you know that as well as ai do."

Efficiency pauses before sighing. ".. you're right. I'm just.. this is too much. How did so many mistakes get past me?"

"We'll figure it out." Blue assures them.

As they smile, there's the familiar sound of a door slamming open.

"CAN YOU KEEP QUIET?!"

"SHUT UP, DARK META KNIGHT!"

#efficiency/effi #fanfiction: my writing! #!posts! #i think it'd be funny if the Time Realm was also easiest to access in the Mirror World from Kirby #so just on occasion anyone from the Mirror World can pop their head in and any loud enough noises break through #Efficiency and DMK are just a tad bit friends. they tend to supply him with random shit in return for him sending them clouds from there #its the only soft surface for them to nap on #so theres just this very well hidden door in the Mirror World leading to the Time Realm #i thought it fit lol considering all the shit that tends to go down in Kirby's world
