The glow squid are a bit eerie but they’re pretty too.
Though I think it’s mostly the deep water that freaks me out.

They kinda remind me of Mewtwo’s Pokémon Sign and constellation from Pokémon Snap.

Created a thalassophobia based artwork for my OC Ameya, my ghost cat with power over water. Although ironically, she is also deathly afraid of deep water too, as this art reflects something of her past life.

A Declaration Of Love
To: Romani Archaman
Tumblr media
One year anniversary be upon ya! Not exactly but I decided upon the 1st January to be our anniversary now! And thus I wish to write something, a declaration of love. This also is going to mark my 'Romani Poster Era' again (I hope).
I will make sure to post more of Dr. Roman in 2024. I love him so much I must let more people know. So, to celebrate, I decided to write something about him in a while! For a better 2024! Personal important task for 2024: Rewrite all Roman/Anna shorts I have and write new ones!
Fandom: Fate/Grand Order
Characters: Anna, Romani Archaman (mentioned)
Words: 729
Warnings Ahead!
This work contains the following...
Spoilers for Fate/Grand Order (up to 'Final Singularity)
Mentioned Character Death
Hurt (no comfort)
Please proceed with caution!
At first she had not expected this. She had not expected to grow attached to him at any point. After all, he was so annoying to her at first she didn't know what to say. She could barely stand it!
“Hey! What are you eating over there!? This is the third time in a row! Eat less junk food and more vegetables!”
“It's past midnight! Go to bed! I can see the rings under your eyes!”
“Hey hey hey! You need to take a break! Close your laptop already, will you!?“
She had heard it so many times and honestly… It was almost unbearable at first. ‘What does a doctor know? I know how to handle myself’ she thought to herself all the time, only rolling her eyes and leaving before one of his scoldings got ahead of himself. But that was, it had not been like this ever since. Honestly, he was no longer an annoying guy.
At first she thought he was a little pathetic – After all, he chased an internet idol and was literally obsessed with her. He was not even secretive about it. Magi Mari, that was her name. It was just… A little funny but also rather questionable. And yet, it had its odd charm later down the line. He was passionate about Magi Mari, so much so that Anna could not help but admire it. It was something else, something unexpected from a doctor, especially one in charge of so many people. Everyone has their sides and yet this was one they had least expected.
Then again, it was usually not enough to get anyone's attention. This was just a funny sight at most yet nothing else. This man… This man was something else. If it had not been for his push, who knows where she would be. If he had not pushed them into the position of a Master saving the world, becoming an amateur strategist, just good enough for the job to survive. Originally it was just a job to help out and help her ‘little brother’ survive and yet it turned into so much more…
How her view changed – He was integral for her view changing. ‘Humanity is not worth saving’ she thought, having never had any faith in humans. So many did her wrong. And yet, even those who wronged her gave her one dream. Oh the twisted irony… Yet she had not realized. But thanks to him she came to realize so much. A dream worth fighting for and the works she had always admired… All from human hands. If she wishes to preserve the legacy, she has to fight for it… Protect it even.
It was what he did after all. Despite his pathetic moments, despite being verbally beaten to the ground… He never stopped. He pressed on, until the bitter end. If it wasn't for his sacrifice, would anyone be here? Would humanity still live? Would it all have been possible? His guidance and his sacrifice… In the end he gifted them something very important… Life.
Yeah, it was him. All him in the end. How could she forget? How dare she forget? Of course she wished that he was still there… And yet, he wasn't. She had to accept it and she did… She finally did. After some time had passed…She accepted it. And thus she has to keep it alive… His legacy. What he fought for. Instead of running he had faced it after all… And the least Anna could do now was to keep the legacy alive. Because this was the legacy of the love of her life!
Love of her life? Hah… Yeah. It's true. Even now… He was the only one she could truly love. And she will never stop loving him. Not back then and especially not now! Well… Too bad she can never tell him how she feels… But she knows that she loves him with all of her heart… Even after a good year had passed. Yeah, even if he's gone… He’s the love of her life.
“Hey, Doctor… No, Roman… Did you know any of that? Heh… Even if you don't, it's all true… I will love you, always.“
Hah… But even if she confessed now… He will never hear it now. He will never know. But… That's something she will have to live with, for eternity.

Fanfiction writer Eskel who started writing as a way to process his desire to get absolutely wrecked by the muscular, sweaty men around him, but grew into a Literal Bear Man Mountain himself and believed he could never have what he wanted because of Internalised Bullshittery, so kept filling up whole journals and hiding them in a lockbox by the lake to deal with the "sordid nature" of his desires.
Fast forward forty-ish years, a whole gods-damned sacking and depression-induced writer's block that has left it untouched, the secret smut stash is discovered by Lambert while he's cutting down trees for his latest boat. He spends a pleasant afternoon on the shore with his dick in one hand and a bottle of Sansretour Pinot Noir or a journal in the other, before returning with his discovery to gloat at the others.
The words, "You reprobates will never guess what I dug up," have barely left Lambert's mouth before he sees all the colour drain from Eskel's face.
Oh. Oh-ho.

Vesper thoughts; Late Night Swim (Please read the tags for CW before opening)
Sometimes, when it's late at night and he can't sleep, Vesper will go for a swim in the Citadel's private pool. Technically it's Pansa's, but Vesper uses it far more often. He keeps the overhead lights off, just turning on the ambient lights beneath the water, setting them to a soft pink. The water is cold at night, since he never bothers to turn on the heaters. He lowers himself in slowly and launches off the side with his feet, dipping below the water and silently swimming across the length of the pool. He touches his fingertips to the opposite wall, comes up for a breath, and then launches off again. He lets himself get lost in the rhythm of it, almost meditative as each gasp for breath and soft splash fills the otherwise silent room. He'd struggled with swimming when he was young. He'd never seen so much water in one place before, and he certainly couldn't imagine being able to move your body through it. He hadn't been the only cadet who couldn't swim, but he still wasn't willing to be left behind, learning this basic skill as others got to start the real training. He took up every second of pool time he was allowed to. The number of times he'd almost drowned was over half a dozen. It never stopped him. Tonight he swims with grace, barely perceptible in the dark, pink water. On one wall of the pool room is a massive window overlooking the city of Starport. Lights glimmer from below, but up above the jagged silhouette of skyscrapers is a clear view of the night sky. Three moons shine brightly, surrounded by the pinprick light of stars. Vesper lets it interrupt his focus, gliding to the edge of the pool and staring out. The city is always alight, never sleeping, alive with the constant flow of power thanks to Stardust, the lifeblood of the Empire. He's not unlike the city, in that way. As his gaze turns up towards the sky, he gets a familiar feeling in his chest. It feels like someone is pulling him, like there are two strong hands wrapped around his ribs tugging him out toward the sky. The tightness spreads up into his neck, feeling as if there's something lodged there, words he does not know trapped in his throat, desperately needing to be called out. He tries to follow the feeling, let the words free, but there's nothing. He remains silent. Finally, he pushes away from the wall and treads water in the center of the pool. If he looks closely at the water he can almost convince himself that it's reflecting the sky. Vesper takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. He lets himself sink. He can feel it when his back makes contact with the floor. He looks behind him, but nothing is there. Stretching infinitely in all directions is the cold, eternal void of space. His hair flows up above him with no gravity to hold it down. Beyond him is a field of stars, trillions all clustered together, sisters lighting up the otherwise desolate stage in a glittering crescendo of flame and color. For a moment their magnificence is all he can comprehend, and he releases the knot in his throat in a silent, awestruck breath. Bubbles emerge from his mouth and float up and away.
Their beauty reaches his soul, but their warmth is inaccessible at this distance. The void's cold prickles against his skin. His fingers buzz like static, and when he finally brings them up to his face they're a bright pink. With a twitch, his fingertips break away into shimmering Stardust. There's an odd feeling in his chest again. It's different now, not being pulled away but rather crushing in on itself. It feels tight and uncomfortable, constricting his lungs and pressing hard against his bones. He watches as more of his hand disintegrates and floats away from him. It doesn't hurt much. It's prickly and uncomfortable, but then it's just numb. Maybe it will spread across his whole body. That wouldn't be so bad really. He could stay here forever that way. The pressure has turned into pain. It's crushing his lungs, traveling up his esophagus and winding around his throat. It hurts. He wants the light to spread faster, to reach his chest and turn it to dust so the ache will stop. He'll be at rest, his body turned to Stardust, the lifeblood of the Empire. The Empire. Vesper opens his eyes. He breaks the surface of the water with a crash and is able to make his way to a ledge, resting his weight against it as he violently coughs and gasps for air. It takes him several minutes to finally catch his breath. He's tired, and he's freezing, but he feels more at ease than he had before. He gets out and dries himself off, changing into some very comfortable pajamas, a gift from Pansa. He returns to his quarters and crawls back into bed. The covers are soft and warm. Feeling cozy and exhausted, he finds it easy to drift off to sleep. He dreams of stars.

Recently, I was listening to the OST of Donkey Kong Country 3 for the SNES, and I remembered an experience I had with it when I was younger.
There are a couple of water levels in that game. They're a tangled mess of brightly-coloured coral corridors, teeming with dangerous enemies like spiked urchins, hungry piranhas and salvos of swift barracudas. You can't fight these enemies for much of these levels, so you have to tread (water) carefully around them.
And while you're doing this, the track Water World is playing. Now, everyone loves Aquatic Ambience, the track that plays in DKC1's water levels, and for good reason - it's a serene, mysterious and beautiful piece of music that captures the experience of swimming through pristine waters. But Water World takes a slightly different approach - while still calming and pretty to listen to, there's this undercurrent of... dread, I want to say, that accompanies it. This disconcerting sense that you are lost, you are alone, and you should not be here. As pretty as this world is, it is not yours to exist in. There are aspects to it that are fundamentally unknowable to surface dwellers. And if you were to perish, that world would swallow you up in an instant. No-one would mourn you down here.
And then, AND THEN, you get to the end of the level, and you emerge in this small cavern. Because of how DKC3's levels work, you have to be on dry land to grab the flagpole and clear the stage, so from that perspective it makes sense. But tiny babby me did not see it that way. Consider that for these levels, the general direction you go is right and down - as in, descending deeper beneath the surface of the ocean. So you dive right down, maybe even to the ocean floor, and here's this cave you can stand up and walk around in. This tiny little space, at the BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN, with this absolutely haunting piece of music playing the entire time, and just for a moment you go, "Why did I come here? How do I get out?" and then it occurs to you that you don't know why or how, and that maybe, since the game has guided you down here, this is where you're supposed to be. In a small cave, at the bottom of the ocean. Forever.
And then you grab the goal flag and you move to the next level.
But let me tell you something - that entire sequence MESSED ME UP as a kid. As terrifying as the notion was, it was also strangely beautiful to me, in a way that I couldn't explain then, and still can't quite explain now. I genuinely believe that experience has likely shaped a good deal of what I enjoy in certain media - things like a sense of futilty, of small secret places you want to enter knowing you can never leave, of leaving this world entirely for something smaller, safer.
...
I'll show you what I mean, a bit later on. Watch this space, ok?

Track 19 - Lies
Tumblr media
Content Warning!
Graphic Depiction Of Violence
If this makes you uncomfortable, I advise you to skip this one.
AO3 Link
Fandom: Hypnosis Mic
Character: Ann Wolff (OC), Ichijiku Kadenokoji, Ramuda Amemura
Synposis: Ann thinks back on last night.... How she keeps up with it. She has no focus lately as a result and thus Ichijiku forces Ann to speak up. 
Track 18 - Track List - Track 20
Hah, there are some days where Ann has to put her regular problems aside. It is not as if she had not been thinking about them day in and out, far from it. She has been wasting her thoughts on what to do from here. This was all just confusing, all on top of a job and studying – Having to balance these things out. Her duty at Chuohku as well as working towards her degree. Not to mention the training she is still undergoing… It is a lot, more than a lot. So there was sometimes little space to think about anything else. 
This had been going on even on that day. It was the day where Ann’s own world was at the brink of shattering. Or rather, she had been more in disbelief when seeing it with her own two eyes. It is hard to believe that was also her introduction to him. She had only heard of him passing, overhearing a few conversations Kadenokoji had about someone. An ‘Amemura’ guy… Then again,it wasn’t a guy. Rather a clone the Party Of Words had commissioned. 
It was not really a secret either, at least not to people higher up in the Chuohku food chain. Ann was high enough to know about it. And even if she wasn't, it was impossible to not hear, given Kadenokoji’s loud voice during those conversations. “Shut the hell up already and tell us what we want to know! We didn’t send you out there to have fun! And do something about your annoying as hell voice! My ears are hurting!” Things like these would always drop yet Ann thought nothing of it. She could only hear her superior, no one else. So maybe Amemura had said something ticking her off. If she could meet him herself, she would tell him to watch his words. Because Kaenokoji is easy to tick off. Ann should know, given that she has seen the several sides herself… Sometimes a little too close. But she had not thought ill of Kadenokoji at the time.
That was until that day… Well, it wasn’t ill… Was it? It was rather complicated. Because what Ann had witnessed even left her speechless…
All she had done at the time was carrying a stack of papers to her own office, having to sort and fill them out. It was a long day of deskwork ahead, yeah. But that would be postponed for some time. Because from afar she had to take in a rather horrific sight.
All she heard first was a groan of pain, making her drop the papers on sight. The view had no longer blocked as a result, said papers scattering all over the place, right onto the ground. And the next thing she saw was Kadenokoji, having a glare as if she was about to kill someone. And her target was the small figure right in front of her – The guy with bright pink, short hair, wearing a sweater which looked a little bit too oversized. The black cap he probably wore had been falling right onto the ground, pretty much the only other color he wore. Jeans, sweater? Both white primarily, from what Ann could see at the time. He had been lying there after all, face flat on the ground and he was hunching in pain.
And even then Kadenokoji didn’t stop, seeming to be ready to kick him right then and there again. However, she was sure yelling from one moment to the next: “Amemura! I told you to not come back unless you have some valuable information for me!”
By then the guy had lifted his head up, even if weakly. And yet, he was putting up a smile, as if innocent. “Huh, did you really say that~? I must’ve forgotten, sorry~” His voice was in a rather high pitch, sounding ever so carefree. It was as if he had no idea what was going on… But he knew. He had to know, right!?
And as if that wasn’t enough Kadenokoji suddenly put one of her heel–wearing feet on top of his head, pressing it back down. “Silence! Stop coming here to play around and do your work as told! You useless pig!” 
The sight made Ann freeze on the spot, unable to let out a word. This happened out in the open… At least within the Chuohku building. Never had she seen Kadenokoji so aggressive, so angry… It was cruel, just cruel. She didn’t hold back anything, as if having to put him into his place. In fact, she was treating him like dirt beneath her feet! 
Not just that but she didn’t even bother helping him up. Instead she turned away after that foot got off his head, turning away. She didn’t even bother to look at him. “And do something about your awful smile. I’m about to vomit. Now scram!” And she left without saying anything else.
All Ann could do at first was just watch. Her legs had made sure she would stay where she is, having to witness and feeling useless. She already felt guilty enough seeing it… How can anyone do this!? Kadenokoji puts people in their place but like this? Why would she do that!? Why!? For what reason!? Besides, wasn’t the Party Of Words against violence!? This was the opposite of that! This was embracing the act of violence, literally!
For a moment nothing happened, he seemed to just lie there, mumbling something to himself yet it was hard to hear what exactly. He was shaking, one of his hands pressed against the ground before slowly lifting himself up, very weakly. And that— No, there was no use in just standing there. She had witnessed it long enough!
So the brunette decided to just run up to him, something she probably should have done earlier, right into his field of sight. Well, she would be if he looked up yet he had faced the ground at first. “Hey! Are you hurt anywhere!?” Was the first thing she asked.
All she could hear from the guy was a quick gasp, as if caught off guard, as well as a quiet “Shit” following this. His head shot up, staring at her wide eyed with his own blue gaze. It was giving her a close look at his face as well… And the sight was awful. She could see a red mark of a hand, most likely Kadenokoji’s, and it was all bruised up. Things which could heal but it was awful. So before he could answer she added: “This looks awful. Let me bring you to–”
“Haha, you’re funny Onee–San!” He suddenly interrupted, a smile on his face. It made her freeze in shock once more, just when she was kneeling down to come eye–to–eye with him. Wh… Why was he– “I’m fine, don’t worry about me! I just tripped!”
Tripped? Tripped!? Sure, he didn’t know that she was watching, but tripped!? That hand mark said something different! “Uhm… It doesn’t look like tripping to me…”
“Really? Maybe you could see it if you took that mask off and put that hair out of your face.” He responded, sounding cheerful. Was he ignoring the pain? Was that what was going on here!? How can anyone— Ah no! that doesn’t matter.
“Hah, there’s no time to argue. Let me help you up and—”
“It’s sweet of you to worry Onee–San, but I said it already.” He began, grabbing the cap next to him before putting it on, then hopping up as if nothing happened. And then she saw that even his clothes had gotten dirty, especially the sweater. Even the red x on it, crossing out a pair of lollipops. It was clearly in a bad state. And yet, despite all of it, he just ignored it and continued with that smile on his face. He even stretched out his arms, as if proving a point. “I’m fine! See see!? Tip top shape~”
“B… But…”
His face then turned to the side for a moment, most likely spotting the pile of papers. Because the next thing he said was: “Oh, did you drop this? That’s a lot!”
Ann turned her face to the side as well, then being reminded of that mess… Right… “Y… Yeah, I did.”
“Isn’t that too much to carry for you? Let me help you out~” He suggested.
“Ah— No no no! It’s fine! I can handle this myself just fine!”
“Really? You won’t have to sort it?”
“Well yes bu—”
“Oh, I get it! Super secret stuff, isn’t it!? Am I not allowed to see it?”
“It’s government documents! Of course you can’t! E… Even if it’s not exactly se—”
“Then I promise to forget it! I won’t say a word!” He responded, as if trying to assure her. “I won’t tell a single soul what I saw~”
She turned her face back, seeing that he had turned his own face back to look at her, smiling ever so brightly. It was almost off putting. “I think you should go see someone about—”
“No can do~ Not when you’re in trouble Onee–San.”
“It’s just pa–”
“Too bad, I’m helping~”
He sure was pushy, wasn’t he? “F… Fine… But only if you promise to tend your wounds right after and get a check up.”
“Wounds?” He pouted suddenly. “You still think I’m not ok?”
“L… Listen, even a scratch could lead to an infection. Plus, you seem to have… Fallen pretty hard. You might check out what it is.”
“Onee–San is sure pushy…” He sighed, as if almost disappointed. But he then added: “Ok fine, if it helps you sleep tonight. I promise.”
“Thank you.” Finally.
“Oh, by the way, who are you?”
“Eh? M… Me!?” Ah— Her name!? She couldn’t say that! In fact, even within Chuohku headquarters most referred to Ann by a codename. Or a nickname rather, mainly because most had no idea of her name to begin with. She was awfully quiet and her face wasn’t visible anyway. All because she didn’t want anyone to know she was working here. Or else… “Er… Uhm…”
“Oh, I can go first if you like! It’s Amemura Ramuda!”
That wasn’t the problem! Not like she didn’t know! “A… Ah… Amemura–San…”
“Haha, you’re awfully formal! Just call me Ramuda!”
“Well, if you’re ok with that then—”
“Mhm! But your turn now! What’s your name!?”
“Er… Right. Uhm… You know what? Just call me… The Executioner.” This was so embarrassing to say.
And he himself stayed silent for a moment, just looking at her, as if in disbelief. Who wouldn’t be!? “That’s an odd name.”
“E… Everyone calls me that here. So please—”
“I’ll just use Exy–Chan. Much cuter~”
“Exy–Chan!?” A nickname of a nickname!?
“Mhm! Exy–Oneesan or Exy–Chan~ Nice to meet you!”
Th… That was… Something… “Y… Yeah… Nice to meet you too…” Even back then Ann knew that Ramuda was probably a league of his own… Probably lying through his teeth all day long… Then again, not like she was any better than him in that regard.

CW below cut: Gore, mention of cannibalism
Nothing really graphic in the comment I am about to show but I want to warn you, in case the mention alone upsets/triggers you. Also I tagged it under "Deep Waters" as a result despite it not being a piece of writing.
Alright so... Something more serious this time... Because I do not want to stay quiet about it.
Tumblr media
I find it sort of funny to be honest. Thank you for letting me know how butthurt you are. I apologize for my wording here.
I have blacked out the user and work (it is nsfw, I do not share these work on this blog) but I find it hilarious how I found this under one of my fics. I deleted it so no worrying about coming across it either anymore.
Actually I just noticed how this was made by a guest who put in a name so there is no account but... Whatever, just in case.
Nothing unusual though sadly. I'd say I'm pretty hardened up by now (I had worse when I was younger, this is nothing new to me. I just laugh it off) but anyone else could take this pretty harshly.
Listen, I'm fine with people not liking my work. That is expected, that's how it is. Not everyone likes everything. I'm also fine with constructive critism, I'm nowhere perfect and always aim to improve.
This type of comment is just a time waster though and can also showcase the unnecessary stigma for canon/oc work. It's not for everyone and that is ok. But please, for the love of god, stop bothering others. Are you aware how you can actually hurt people with comments like these!? Hearing stuff like this can be damaging.
Actually no need to bother with that speecg. It won't stop. Not gonna change anyone's mind, I can't. So instead let me give you advice when you see comments like these under your creative works:
Don't try to start a conversation. You get nowhere with that, believe me. Delete the comment and block the user, then move on with your life. It's the only way to battle this.
Don't feel bad either. You do yourself a favor actually. Comments like these can damage someone mentally eventually. I'm sure you heard it many times but it's true nonetheless.
Alright, I'm done.
Note: I apologize for saying the same thing everyone does probably. I felt like sharing this though. I laugh but I'm also tired seeing it. Some people will hate comment for no reason and it's very old at this point... Kinda sick of seeing it. At most I'm just surprised it didn't happen to me sooner since starting to write OC/Canon for Enstars.
