Holding on to an impossible thing

companion piece/follow-up to the comic I did for Rivals zine ✌️

#persona 5 #goro akechi #shuake #fanart #challenged myself to finish something within a day #somehow i am simultaneously always drawing and never draw anything lol i've been like i want to draw something actually #i just get way too fussy s this was good for me #background is sloppy but it is an actual background and not just clouds so i'll give myself that haha #it's the train station in odaiba #also commending myself for not getting sidetracked researching Odaiba for No Reason #which did take some willpower considering they have a rainbow bridge and a gundam there #and the statue of liberty for some reason?

Cracking Ice

Warnings: blood, injury, wounds, impaling, threat of death, unclear character status

Hero's chest seized with each shallow breath. They couldn't breathe through the pain. Couldn't breathe through their fear. Couldn't breathe through the two and a half foot long shard of ice impaling them.

They had vastly underestimated Villain's abilities. They had merely thought that Villain could make the room cold, maybe freeze some surfaces. They had no idea that Villain had turned ice wielding into a weapon.

And a powerful one at that.

As the ice and snow at their feet became stained red with the blood that flowed around the shard in their chest, Hero realized this mistake would likely be their last. There would be no coming back from this. Sidekick with their superspeed wouldn't get here in time. And even Superhero with their regenerative healing powers wouldn't make it in time.

"I warned you, Hero," Villain called coldly as they walked forward. "I warned you not to cross me. Not to discount me."

Hero tried to breathe with shredded lungs. "I....I....I c-c-couldn't...." Their chest heaved as they tried to get a good enough breath to speak.

But Villain didn't let them. "I warned you. But you didn't listen. And now you're paying the cost."

Hero could see the ice gathering in Villain's hand. Could see with each step Villain's blade grew and grew. Could see how this was going to play out. But still, they were powerless to stop it.

"And what a cost it is," Villain said as they thrust the blade of ice into Hero's chest.

The last thing Hero heard as their world went black was Villain's dark laughter in their ear, the sound of their own ragged breathing beginning to fade, and the sound of cracking ice.

@cax-per submitted:

me doing my daily check ins to see if the next part of There’s Nothing Wrong With Dale is out yet 🥸💻

this week has flown by so fast, holy shit. my original plan was to edit Monday (possibly Tuesday too depending on how long it took) which is already shakey cuz during the week, but between work and headaches, yeah no editing was accomplished this week

soo i shall be spending today editing chapter 34 of Dale (which is over 10k words) and hopefully posting it today as well

#submission #asks #story asks #nothing's wrong with dale #story status #its so long and needs a rly thoughtful edit so i didnt want to half ass it while tired/headache-y #i had totally planned for it to be out at the beginning of the week #but work has been crazy #i went into the office 4 of 5 days this week too which means 2 hrs each day was eaten by commuting #next week is gonna b very busy too #but i am doing things this weekend that are fun dammit lol #the chapter is literally 10101 words right now and i rly need to make sure it makes sense to someone who isnt me #and isnt just dale lecturing worldbuilding/his backstory for hours #not that he isnt doing that to some extent #but it needs to flow right or i'll b unhappy with it #balance!

#the real question is can i go to church on less than 5 hours of sleep and still function lol #i unlocked my instagram bc church wouldn't stop tagging me to direct people to me for stuff but that meant i had to delete a bunch of pho #tos AND rewrite a bunch of captions for photos i didn't WANT to delete bc i was too mean to random sharks prospects #which is fine if it is u know the anonymity of tumblr but not public instagram where my church won't stop FULL NAMING AND TAGGING ME #''anonymity of tumblr'' i doxx myself on here like 80 times a day in front of more people than i went to college with #anyway my point is i was going through deleting all evidence of politics pens fandom and legal documents and i was like damn #my attitude towards my team SUCKS. i gotta be way less of a hater!!! #what did my prospects ever do wrong besides everything NOTHING. the system is BROKEN. i am sorry i will be so much nicer guys :( #also if u really want to be humbled. scrolling back to 2012 on your instagram and re-experiencing senior year of college. BAD #i've deleted i think everything that would reasonably get our nonprofit status pulled but what a horrific journey it was #two full hockey intermission periods of deleting shit plus another hour at home doing several more passes and then rewriting captions #so that some poor 21 year old prospect randomly searching their name doesn't see me full ass call their teammate cringe #their teammate IS cringe. but i love him. but the nuances are lost on instagram people don't understand these things they take everything #at face value #don't know why i just assigned shakir mukhamadullin they/them pronouns #i think i need to go lie in bed with a blanket over my head until i suffocate #this ALWAYS happens i get too hype about mackenzie blackwood and start listening to selena gomez and then it's like almost 3am and i'm just #fresno oilers.txt #oh and. a friend sent me screenshots of the girl she's been flirting with on a dating app and they are SOOOOO cute #i hope they make a good run of it i really do bc it was SO cute. living vicariously through episcopalian lesbians as one does #but then i was trying to figure out how to edit my dating app profile to dissuade chasers but still honeytrap guys who are tall enough #or athletic enough to pick the tangerines at the top of the tangerine tree. bc i couldn't reach this week #but there were still like god maybe 150 tangerines on the tree. i was like this could be feeding people but i'm TOO SHORT #and my life will be like this.

one of my most favorite pet peeves is when someone talks about an old edgy game and is like "its a shame because you couldn't just make that nowdays it would NEVER have been allowed its a shame how we've fallen" but like you get to look at them in comparison to things we have now that are actively even more grusome than ever. People say manhunt couldn't be released today because its too brutal but then the last of us has some extra brutal executions too, and don't even get me started on how the MK series is nowadays. "they would have to censor the story so heavily today so im glad [blank] came out years ago" they say, as some weren't already censored to tone it down- a perfect example of that is always going to be Twisted Metal Black where they changed up Raven's, Dollface's, Agent Stone's, Preacher's, John Doe's story to simmer them all down and lighten the blow, expunging certain levels ambient sounds because the implications of domestic violence, and the changing of No-face's surgical cutscene to make it not as explicitly nasty and meanwhile modern games have been actively stepping it up to be even worse.

"Games are just too prudish nowdays we couldnt even get another ghostly desires LOL" and meanwhile the front page to steam is literally littered with hentai games. that do not hide the lewd and raunchy screenshots. sometimes its a freshly creampied pussy in your face. yeah that. Im sorry but there's so much god damn porn games that are available to buy and some of it is mainstream even (Huniepop for instance).

Back in the day NightTrap was rated as an Adult game. Now? It's T for teen because how tame it kinda is. We're not as prudish or pearlclutchy on literally any of these points as we used to be and thank fucking god for that- but literally take off the nostolgia goggles cause its fuckin blinding you sweetie

#i remember the panic that came out about games like doom and how violent they were #so many hackles were raised and it was so scandalous #the newest ones are even more so and there's hardly a peep #gta was certainly contreversial back in its day but especially 3 set off shit like you would not believe but 5 actively pushes way past it #and there's less about it now- ffs the hot coffee made it back into the remasters by accident #and despite knowing that there was even less of a hubub this time of round for San andreas than back then #literally so few care about that now #but even CoD is getting more graphic than it and so many other games are too #gta just doesnt have its oomph anymore #and i wanna say that's a good thing because there's more artistic freedom with that #but we can't just be so deluded as to pretend we've not gotten heavier about all of this #because we have and it really shows #none of the old contreversial series seem near as bad now when half of everything is rivaling it #ballad of gay tony showed dick and everyone was so up in arms about it #in numbers we couldnt even see for Outlast Whistleblower for seeing a man's dick chopped off and him split open to make a birthing statue #and that is so fucking wild??

[existential-dread-in-the-am]

It's been 5 months since I started reading through everything about this one specific character, and I've officially reached the end of all types of (decent quality and not containing topics I like to avoid) content about them. I'm not any less obsessed or any less in need of more content.

What do I do now. What am I supposed to do? There's nothing left. Nothing. Empty.

#I've actually resorter to limiting update day on fanfics to one year ago or later and sorting by word content on top of my usual filters #and completion status to completed #in orded to find just one more 30+ chapter fic that I like #11 works subscribed (out of which 5 are being updated regularly) #(but I'm waiting for those works to be finished because I'm reading too many things at the same time and the contexts are blending together)

i don't understand what counts as an old dragon or how that influences selling price at all and i wish i did bc i have a couple 5-8 year old things to get rid of and no idea if they should go up for kinda high or if i might as well just chuck them up onto the AH for normal price or what

#one of them is an 8 year old xxy unbred imp hatched on leap day. does that matter. is he valuable. i dont know #ive made posts about this before and not gotten any response so im throwing another post out into the void i guess #5 yr old unbred xmas hatch wcm too... not g1s obvs but still #they're all still 8digits. idk #i dont understand what does or doesn't add value to dragons besides g1 status and being unbred </3 #ive been wanting to get rid of a few dragons for literal months at this point but havent yet bc i dont know. how to price them. at all

Status

I think technically I haven’t been much less active than I generally am, but I keep intending to write and then. Not. 😅 Which certainly makes it feel like I ought to make a status post, pff.

So! General note that my brother is visiting for the rest of the month, and so I’ve been focusing more on family time than on internetting.

#(I have also been in varying amounts of back and shoulder pain for the past week) #(which is possibly relevant considering I keep hitting a solid wall of Brain Not Work at around 5 pm most days ffff) #(…it probably does not help that ‘brain not work’ has not actually been leading me to go to *sleep* any earlier this week) #(which is perhaps an even larger factor in said brain not working) #ooc #status

i am SO CLOSE to finishing my portfolio,, i only have the environments section left, with 3 and a half background designs

#AND I GOT 5 DAYS LEFT HHHHHHHH #i swear i dont leave things for last minute but work STRANGLED me realy bad the last few weeks its crazy #cythandraws #my art #art #digital art #artwork #wip #work in progress #portfolio #statue #concept art

Have you thought about art today? The ribs of gothic cathedrals? The dried layers of paint on canvas, delicately cracked? The smooth warmth of carved wood? The broken and rebuild, mounting and crumbling, heaped silk and stack of bones orchestra of a dance performance? The words? (Individual letters: w o r d s)? The transparency of marble? The water-shimmering quality of mosaics? Medieval golden skies? Native American coats made of rustling, shimmering feathers? Have [you] [thought] about [art] [today]? (<- invitation to taste the individual words)

#I had caffeine #I AM thinking about art #I tried to find out what exact tribe the cost that has been on my mind for days now is from #but apparently they don’t know? I googled and found it on the museum website #but it listed about 5 tribes #wood always has me in a state. #two statues that always threaten to make me cry are two sleeping apostles from a garden of…English word for Gezemaneh. #and then I saw a carved mask today and OH!!! oh…. #I didn’t write down what tribe it was from #but it was so. warm. smooth. wooden! #and I forgot to talk about IVORY #I saw an ivory dagger! oh!!!! #🦪.txt

[vounoura]

nah but seriously dropping out as much as it upset(s) me to have to do was probably the smartest decision I ever made

#saint.txt #that was a real bad year and a half I'm sorry to everyone who knew me #I have nobody helping me w/ financials so mayhap 5 classes and a job to pay my bills was a mite bit of a bad idea #but even on three + job I struggled. and I was doing sciences and did not have the time to catch up on the basics #of stuff like chem bc I have been out of high school for ages and the courses are not designed for mature students #who do not remember high school content at all and also have lives outside of classes #and I struggle w/ basic math on a good day bc my brain just cannot interpret numbers so. #(three was the minimum to keep full-time student status) #moving onto online classes + different diploma next fall which hopefully? will free up more time for me to be less worried #abt not being able to pay my rent and shit #I also had a lot going on at home at the time which Did Not Help
