past, present and future (with you)

WOO EMPIRES/DOUBLE LIFE FIC

the odds of me completing this entire thing are slim but for the time being imma try lmao

jimmy is frantically searching for string for a fishing rod when there’s a loud knock at his door. he grins, just knowing joel is gonna be there to launch him into the sky again and remembering the last time he tried.

he closes the chest and walks over to the door, but when he opens it he isn’t greeted with the regular sight of the god that is too tall to fit in his porch. instead, there’s a man with red eyes, blonde hair and a tail. definitely not joel.

the man looks slightly surprised when he sees jimmy. he notices that the man’s face is flushed with heat, so he’s probably not from around here.

“um, hi, sorry to bother you.” the man says, his tail swishing back and forth behind him. “but i heard that you found a giant fossil recently?”

“I did.” jimmy nods, slightly proud. “do you know pixlriffs?”

“yeah, he told me about it.” the man says. “I was wondering if you’d show me it?”

“‘course!” jimmy smiles, walking out of the doorway, closing his door behind him. “what’s your name?”

“i’m tango.” he says, following jimmy.

“i’m jimmy. nice to meet you.” jimmy says. “where are you from?”

“oh, nowhere around here.” tango says. 

jimmy waits for him to elaborate, but he doesn’t so he leaves it.

“you’re an archeologist?” jimmy asks as they walk. it should be awkward, but somehow it’s not. 

“not technically.” tango says. “it’s just interesting, you know? like, you never know what was happening here thousands of years ago. heck, this place could have been lush and green a thousand years ago.”

“I don’t reckon I could imagine this place as anything else.” jimmy says, looking around at the dry mountains of clay and sand that surrounds the town. “but yeah, you make a good point. I mean, this whole valley could have been a massive lake.”

tango nods enthusiastically, apparently pleased jimmy is interested. “yeah! like you could just find anything in here, buried in the sand.”

jimmy can’t help but smile. tango reminds jimmy of himself; often ignored or teased, so always happy when someone shares his interests.

“well, I mean, if you know anything about finding fossils.” jimmy shrugs, trying not to look like he cares too much (and probably failing based off tango’s excited expression). “you could come ‘round and show me how.”

tango grins. “that’d be awesome!”

jimmy feels his own face flush. well, it is a hot day. “c’mon, the mines are just this way.”

when they reach the fossil, tango is amazed by how authentic it is. (jimmy accidentally-on-purpose forgets to tell him that they had to replace the diamonds inside it).

“can you imagine how big of a creature this could have been?” tango’s face is so close to the glass, he has to wipe the condensation away with his sleeve. “if this was the size of the ribcage..” he trails off, apparently lost in thought.

jimmy doesn’t realise he’s staring until a rock falls from a ledge and he almost jumps out of his skin. he’s very thankful when tango doesn’t look up— he’s supposed to be the sheriff for crying out loud, a stone falling shouldn’t scare him that much.

“oh, hello.”

jimmy turns so fast he accidentally hits pixl with one of his wings. 

“jesus, you scared me.” he says. “oh- sorry.” he notices he’s covered pix in yellow feathers.

“it’s fine.” pixl says, brushing the feathers off. “I scare a lot of people.”

“you are incredibly quiet.” jimmy puts a hand to his chest, feeling his heart racing. “what are you doing here?”

“well, i was visiting the fossil.” pixl says. “hey tango.” he adds.

“hi!” tango waves.

jimmy’s face heats up when he realises tango has seen the entire thing. he’s smiling in an amused way, but not it’s mocking. that’s good, right? he doesn’t want to ruin tango’s first impression of him.

“I can’t believe this is so exposed.” tango is saying to pixl. “it’s perfect for display already without excavation.”

“yeah, I mean we definitely struck lucky here.” pix agrees.

“and are all the diamonds naturally formed?” tango asks.

“they are.” pixl says. jimmy is incredibly relieved that he doesn’t tell tango what happened. “I think whatever creature this was might have had some kind of magic.”

“well, it’s a pretty magical world.” jimmy says, and the two turn to look at him. “we’ve got witches, we’ve got gods.”

pixl nods. “very true. you know, there’s evidence that there used to be ocean gods walking the earth. no one’s entirely sure how they died— from what we can infer, they were incredibly powerful.”

“ocean gods?” jimmy’s eyes widen. “how did you find out about them?”

“well, we think they existed.” pixl says, looking slightly surprised to have gotten jimmy’s full attention. “recently we’ve been finding some things washed up on the shore that look centuries old.”

“like what?” jimmy has to force himself not to jump when tango seemingly appears next to him. why is he so twitchy suddenly?

“so far we’ve found what seems to be prismarine from at least a millennia ago.” pixl says. “it doesn’t spawn naturally, and we know it’s not from a sea temple just by doing some tests.”

“so you’re saying that there could be remnants of a fallen kingdom in this world?” jimmy asks.

“more than one kingdom, we think.” pixl says. “we’ve found ancient carvings in the jungle, we’ve found preserved clothing in the swamp mud. heck, we’ve even found what we think are parts of statues right here in the mesa.”

“in the mesa?” jimmy says. “you mean, we could have statues from an ancient kingdom in the mesa?”

“it’s pretty likely.” pixl nods. “why, you interested?”

“am I!” jimmy exclaims. 

“I can show you how to excavate things if you want.” tango says to him. “maybe I could come over in the next week?”

“that’d be amazing!” jimmy grins. 

“does it matter what time?” tango asks. 

“as long as it’s in daylight hours.” jimmy chuckles. “i’m gonna head back now, do you want me to show you the way out?”

tango nods. “i’ll stay here with pixl for a little longer, if that’s alright?”

“of course.” jimmy smiles. “i’ll see you around.” he waves and flies off.

[catsharky]

As terrifying as it would have been, I like to think there was a moment of peace there at the end, among the stars.

-

So... this is the next part of the Shakarian comic, but it's not the big one I said would come next. I've made the decision to put that on the back burner for now and pick away at it a lot more slowly while I continue on with what I originally had planned. The next thing you see from me will likely be the Joker-centric part I mentioned a while back, but for now please enjoy this rare coloured comic in the meantime.

Thank you all for voting in the poll to decide who was going to be the leader of the band! It turned out to be such a close race!

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #madam lan #A-qing #Band AU #(Reminder that Madam Lan's design inspiration goes to Qourmet!) #Madam Lan may have been the winner per vote count but there were so many strong advocates for A-Qing! #I played around with a few versions of what the 'poll winner' art was going to be and ultimately decided I wanted them both. #As any good theater love knows though - The battle for leadership was a ruse. They *all* get a chance to be featured. #Cooperation was the real end goal! However I do think these two have the best frontman energy of the group. #Or at least 'crowd favourite' energy. I also really loved hearing what people thought their vocal styles would be like! #This was probably one of my favourite polls to do and I love drawing these characters a lot B*) #I'd love to spend a bit more time in this AU so count on me bringing it back. #One thing I keep feeling like I need to redeem myself on is Madam Lan's Translucent skirt. I have *not* done the concept justice yet. #It is such a crack-platonic ship but I want to think Madam Lan and A-Qing would enjoy each other's company. #Possibly also with JYL as well. They can be like mutually beneficial therapy dogs to each other. #Madam Lan never got to see her kids grow up into teenagers after all. She only had sons. Never daughters. #Even if she saw her kids once a month we do know she treated them with so much love and kindness. #She would bite the shit out of YZY for yelling at JYL. What a sight to see. A-Qing would also start biting (for fun).

end game haters just don't get it like i'm so sorry you'll never know the joy of i hit you like BANG! we tried to forget it but we just couldn't AND I bury hatchets butikeepmapsofwhereiputthem REPUTATION PRECEDES ME THEY TOLD YOU I'M CRAZY i swear i don't love the drama IT LOVES ME!!! and i can't let you go your handprints on my soul IT'S LIKE YOUR EYES ARE LIQUOR IT'S LIKE YOUR BODY IS GOLD you've been calling my bluff on all my usual tricks SO HERE'S THE TRUTH FROM MY RED LIPS 👄

[gottagetgogottagetattahere]

I can't sleep.

Did knives ever try to communicate with his plant sisters on what they wanted? Did he ever ask them what made them happy?? What was his plan past freeing plants from humans because it doesn't look like he was improving the quality of their lives past not sending into a Last Run but what would an improvement on their lives look like??

Do the Plants even know what they want? They must, from the sparse glimpses we get from their perspectives.

Am I focusing on the wrong things in trigun lmao

#i just can't stop thinking about the Plants #We know so little about them #but they are so crucial to the plot #maximum has them finally being able to communicate with people they are ginally granted a voice #but from beginning to end we only really get brief flashes of their perspective. #and most of the time their wants and needs are ignored. god at least humans can claim ignorance on their sentience. #once again chewing at knives with my molars. gnawing on his relationship with his family. #gnawing on VASH's relationship with his family. #trigun #trigun stampede #trimax #trigun maximum #can u tell my favourite character types are those that are given no voices to speak of their own perspectives #so u can speculate wildly about them #unironically the plants are SO fascinating to me.

Made a little comic from some dialogue between Jancy in chapter nine of Puzzle Tales.

Bonus:

Hope you all have a good week!

#in the bonus mike does say that at the end of the cutscene #chapter nine of puzzle tales has to be my favourite becuase of that piece of Jancy dialogue like it’s so them #it’s been about two months since I finished the chapter and I already miss it so much! #a least I’m getting close to the next jancy chapter but once that’s done there will be no more :( #stranger things #jonathan byers #nancy wheeler #mike wheeler #jancy

Tired boy Xantheus :(

#high rollers #rollonsunday #Altheya #altheyatde #gruffudd of tremorrew #Xantheus Auregan #I love all of these characters so much already ;-; #And I have no idea so far who will end up being my favourite! In Aerois that was clear from the very first episode #But these characters are literally all so good!! #Ophelia‘s chances for favourite character are the lowest so far because edgy characters aren’t my favourite #Unless she is/becomes a warlock at some point of course #That‘d probably get her in the top three at least #But other than her everyone else is completely even on the favourite character scale

Let him dad her!! (Patreon)

#Doodles #Adventure Time #Fionna and Cake #Fionna Campbell #Simon Petrikov #I cannot BeLieve that they didn't hug at any point - illegal. One million years dungeon #She slapped him (deservedly) but they didn't hug by the end??? I had to fix it #Jerry is my favourite episode so that at least was an easy choice lol #If anywhere would be a good place to cross that line it would be to comfort her! I can't imagine he'd initiate tho haha #She's just seeking comfort so badly <3 I know she's at least legally considered an adult but she's still a kid! #And Simon just keeps adopting kids lol #He's a good dad :) Not a perfect one but y'know? He helps where he can #Sometimes all we need is a parent figure giving you a hug and saying ''You know what? You're right - this sucks. But I see you'' #Fionna's quite interesting 'cause like - she's meant to be a Finn but there are a lot of differences between her and quite a few Finns! #A lot of that is Because she lived in Simon's head for so long but I wonder - most Finns have decent support systems and she seems a little #Well not lacking Exactly but her fallbacks aren't as numerous - and she's not able to fulfill her life's purpose so she's just kinda wayward #Seeing that kind of Finn finally able to spread their wings but still have a lot of Finn trappings like naivety and impulsivity ♪ #She's interesting! I quite like her :D Plus it's cool to see her natural EQ when she calls out Simon later in this episode unknowingly haha #I stopped at episode eight for a while but year her line about ''Then you got on the bus right? :D'' and him refuting it #Hmmm ♪ It was certainly interesting - I'm glad they addressed it :) #Plus she's fun to draw haha ♫ Her bunny ears! And the jacket she took from Martin </3 She has a fun design #And as always Simon is fun to draw :) Especially piecemeal here haha - just his mouth or just his eyes ♪ Cute :)

there should be fics that feature all the batfamily members including the less popular ones and then tim just isn't there ans its never acknowledged.

Tbf now if that's the fanfic you want to see then be the change you want to see write your own fanfics and include everyone bar Tim that's what I've been doing and honestly can't recommend it enough

#ask #anon #and before anyone asks #you can not read my timless fanfics #unfortunately they are for my eyes only #also bc most of them are unfinished #bc fun fact about me #i dont like endings #least favourite part of any story to me is the ending #anyway yeah #if you want more timless stories #write them yourself #trust me you wont regret it

Do you think the Narrator’s plan would have had a better chance of succeeding if this was the first thing he said,

"You're on a path in the woods, and at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a shapeshifting demon that plans to end the world. The demon is currently in the form of a harmless Princess.

The seven great wizards have managed to temporarily imprison the demon and negate its shapeshifting ability. However, their magic will not last forever. If the demon gets free, it will be the end of the world.

Only a hero who is pure of heart can slay the demon. The wizards say you are the only one who can save us all."

Then before you enter the cabin he said,

"A word of warning before you enter the cabin. Don’t be fooled by the demon’s harmless apparency. It is a being of pure evil.

The demon will lie and cheat and do anything to escape its prison so that it can end the world. Luckily for you, the demon is a terrible liar. Even if you listen to what it has to say, you’ll easily be able to see through its lies."

#slay the princess #slay the princess spoilers #spoilers #stp narrator #The princess is a being of perception #If the Narrator had come up with more of a story #Rather than basically saying “just trust me and kill the princess!” #Would the protagonist have been more likely to kill her #Also throw in the warning ‘the demon will lie but badly’ #And the protagonist would be expecting the Princess to be like #“Ending the world is my least favourite thing to do. I am just a normal princess. Let me out so I can NOT end the world.”

You would think that since Bruce and Cass's morals are so aligned I'd be rooting for Bruce in his confrontations against Jason but you'd be wrong. If it's Cass vs Jason I'm team Cass she has the moral high ground and I like her more. If it's Bruce vs Jason neither of them fully have the moral high ground even though technically Bruce and Cass's codes are quite similar. Because unlike Cass Bruce has been used as a mouthpiece by multiple right wing writers and also just plain bad writers to the point that you have to ignore a LOT to simplify his morals down to "Killing bad." Like yeah if Jason's going around murdering people I'm rooting for say, Cass or Dick to take him down. With lots of angst and challenging their codes and making sure everyone has a bad time. But Bruce is just such an asshole and yeah, bad person, in so many other ways. (You can ignore the comics where he's horrible if you want but they exist and there have been so, so many of them it's a consistent character trait post Jason's death. And it's never character assassinating him for anyone else, he's always presented as the Protagonist even when he's going through his edgy punch the kids moments. Which sucks but that's what DC chose.)

And also Jason was sacrificed for Bruce's pain and meant to just stay dead and smeared to let Bruce get the angst without the bad dad allegations so hell yeah son. Come back to life and torment your father. Be more than just a costume in a cave. Just get better comics and better fans because when you're not fighting Bruce you've been Lobdell's pet for so long that most casual readers associate you with his godawful writing right after the UTRH movie.

#after alfred I think bruce is my least favourite batfam member even though I enjoy so much of his interactions with my faves #But the way he treats Babs Steph Helena Dick Jason... Tim Damian and Cass too in a slightly different way #i like good batdad content but I was also rooting for gotham war to end with them jumping him and breaking his legs. u know. #dc #dc rambles #scared to tag this with any character tags because it's not coherent it's just something that's been brewing in my brain #like one part of it is that even when cass is wrong i care about her more than the people she's wronging. #and one part of it I do genuinely think despite their codes being so similar at this point Cass is the pure essence of what batman should b #whereas bruce is just. head stuffed up his own ass by so many different writers it gets boring.

Clever Grace

#stray gods #stray gods: the roleplaying musical #stray gods grace #last but certainly not least clever grace #that's the trait that's hardest to showcase but i did my best #because that's also my favourite starting trait #i have only ever played with clever grace since i found out she's the only one who can save medusa #she's also the only one who can introduce hecate to freddie and thus trigger the freddie becomes hecate's apprentice ending #clever grace is the one who becomes spokesperson for the gods as well #and is just really great in general so i had to do something with her too
