#his partner; his other half)

[spookberry]

I put them next to each other casually without much thought, but I've had to redraw them in this set up so many different times in the development of this project that I kinda ship them now??? like why are they always lookin at each other like that

#my art #vampire debutante #they dont even have names #but its funny in the very vague concept of these twos characters yellow is like the hunk that all their peers are kind of obsessed with #tiara and niamh even fight over him sometimes(for status reasons not cuz theyre into him) #but i was imagining red as like a bit dorky but sweet #girls arent into him really but they dont turn him down when he asks to dance or tries to make polite conversation #in an earlier draft i was gonna have a bit where Niamh and Tiara are both vying for red's attention and Niamh wins so they dance #Tiara's only other option then is red who isnt as hunky as yellow (L for her) as she needs a dancing partner to show up niamh with #but i didnt wanna animate the stupid little dance battle so i didnt do that #now the boys are just hanging #but the fact that i keep drawing yellow making eyes at red is so funny like thats just supposed to be his default expression but #do you think hes really into red and half of his showboating is just to try and get this dweebs attention but literally nothing works #meanwhile red's just sorta accepted his role as the dweeb that no one's into #oh my god

Honestly the only thing better than being in love is being in love with a fictional character

the rest is undercut because it's ugly af

my research partner and i are huddled in a blanket in paddington waiting for a too-late train i already miss you and you and you

#he keeps falling asleep almost on my shoulder and waking up and readjusting but i want to tell him its ok weve seen a lot #of each other ive seen your brainwaves you called me crying a few nights ago. research partner right now is a potentiality #friend is a certainty. i met a banker passionate about finance. he said his advice made the lives of others better and he likes the numbers #more than he likes anything else. on a high rise near canary wharf the view was wonderful and the people even moreso #he said i loved her but i spent 33 grand on her and i cant do this anymore. his voice cracked talking about her. he did love her. #and she talked softly she grabbed my hand she bought me a pack of Marlborough gold she told me to snap #the russian menthol cigarettes of the tortured polish man near us with my teeth i kept staring at her teeth #bright white and sharp. i couldnt find her heartbeat but i did find warmth and i did find her lips and i did feel #how she felt pressed against a wall. a pretty boy held my hand and i gave him my number. i couldnt stop smiling about her no matter #how many runways youve walked on how many collections youve designed how many students youve taught. senior lecturer teaches me how to do #very unethical things ethically over a double shot of vodka made by the half-persian with broken farsi. she talks softly #and she says her eyes are hazel but they appear a shade of red. pure gold on her hands and leather on her back and her fingers on my lips #(she talks softly sees through me she says something i cant hear but i wont forget the way she flies) she talked to my research partner #about the possibility of moving to sunny dubai with the rest of her family and my heart felt pierced. on her arm i traces a tattoo of a #knife passing through a rose. she told me she thought there was romance in severing so i kissed her some more. #he sat me down and asked me what i loved and i told him and he said no romance no person no tragedy will take that from you. #the room was filled with a collection of people in love with something that wasnt a person and i kept looking at her. #red eyes bitten jawline beautiful hands. it is 3 degrees Celsius my head is on his shoulder i miss my friends #we walked out the lecture hall with arms linked a photo of two years ago and we both said #jesus christ. i miss you all. and i miss logic metatheory lectures. im glad i get to stare at the depth of your eyes #i wish i had met you years ago. #crushposting

Okay it's little sad but kind of funny how Merlin didn't know his father, Arthur didn't know his mother as in just one parent. Arthur was good with swords, Merlin had magic...

Meanwhile Morgana and Morgause- both Orphans,both had magic and were good with swords, a complete package 😭😭🙏🙏

#We definitely did not need Arthur and Merlin #Just kidding #In all seriousness #Don't think Morgana was as good with swords as fandom likes to portray #Because Arthur worked on his skills #Had tutors to help him #Morgana #Don't think she had that much training #And anyway #Who cares #Arthur was best warrior out there go argue with a wall #But I digress #Morgause was a later addition #Later as in #In my mind later #Anyway #So Merlin and Arthur were completing each other #Morgana didn't need anyone else to complete her #That's why she didn't need any partner #Yes #bbc merlin #bbc arthur #BBC Morgana #Morgana pendragon #arthur pendragon #merlin bbc #Arthur and Merlin #Two sides of same coin #Morgana was like- I don't need an other half #I'm enough for myself

strap in for this week's fic flavor: the failsafe episode of season one of the young justice cartoon except the simulation just won't. fuckin. end.

(fics that inspired this at the end)

If I ever did sit down to make my own fic, I'd split it in 3 parts:

The Simulation: bits and pieces of the 40 years Dick lives after most everyone he knows has died

The Return: the immediate aftermath and healing from the trauma of having not-quite-actually lived a whole life only to wake up and find out it was all fake. nothing traumatizing about that whatsoever.

The Unintended Consequence: aka the twist I'd love to add and would hint to in the second part - finding out the simulation, through martian mind fuckery, pulled from the real world (and in many cases, from real minds). Dick meets a bunch of people he didn't think were real outside the confines of his simulated life. A bunch of rowdy, heroism-inclined teens across the years get to meet the sibling/friend/mentor figure they all dreamed up one night.

(actual idea snippets under the cut)

.

Dick Grayson is 14 and most of the world's heroes have died. He planned a suicide mission that left him the sole survivor of a doomed team he helped found. The invasion may have been stopped, but is this really the price he wanted to pay?

The first face he sees in the infirmary is Roy's, and he has to close his eyes and just breathe for a few minutes because for one painful moment he'd thought it was Wally. But this isn't the world where his best friend miraculously survived alongside him. This is the one where he got his best friend killed and didn't even give him the courtesy of following behind him. Behind them.

.

Dick Grayson is 27 and has lived longer without Bruce than with him. The invasion's anniversary is always a tough day for him, but that morning seems especially harrowing. He'll get shit for it later, but can't resist stepping out onto the balcony of the manor's master bedroom (Bruce's old bedroom) for a smoke -- his first since he'd promised to quit if Jason, just 15 then, did too.

"Bad habits tend to pile up," he'd said, a rueful quirk to his tired grin. He'd tapped the cigarette twice on the railing and added, lower, "and this one's especially nasty, huh."

He inhales, watches the sun creep across the horizon, and lets acrid smoke burn through his lungs for a long moment before blowing it out in a small cloud. His eyes water, but he doesn't cough. It tastes just as bad as it did the first time he smoked one, not even a year after the invasion and treading water as Robin proved insufficient.

There hadn't been enough heroes to go around then, and Dick had been trained by one of the best. It hadn't been fair, but it had been his plan that had ultimately stopped the invasion. His shoulders everyone's expectations fell on.

He takes another drag, then smudges the lit end against the rail he's leaned on when he hears a boot scuff purposefully against the roofing above him.

"Todd and Pennyworth will be upset with you."

He doesn't turn around. Damian doesn't jump down to join him.

.

Dick Grayson is 54 and wakes up in a room full of ghosts. He hears his long-dead father-figure tell his long-dead team about a simulation they weren't meant to win. A training exercise gone wrong and only half a day spent under their mentors' careful, if slightly panicked, supervision.

He looks at his hands, watching the way his gloves crease when he flexes them in and out of tight fists. He looks at his team, their eyes a little haunted but shoulders slumped with relief even as they grumble. Batman's heavy, gloved hand settles on his shoulder and the weight of it is a nauseating mix of foreign-familiar.

He opens his mouth. Closes it.

Tears prick his eyes behind his domino mask, and he tells himself the suffocating, acidic void building in his chest is just some leftover side effect of the ordeal and not the grief-guilt of outliving yet another family (no matter that they hadn't been real in the end).

.

Dick Grayson is 16-going-on-56 and well used to the coincidences piling up between his simulated life and the real thing. Some of it -- missions and villains he remembers cropping up -- he's marked for Bruce to review and sort as he pleases. Some -- security for the cave, team building anecdotes, and training regimens -- he's shared with the team. And some he keeps only for himself.

Tim is one of those. He knows it's not fair to the kid (so much smaller now than he ever was when Dick lived his simulated life), but he can't help being selfish just for this. Tim is the one kid he's sure he didn't make up, and if Dick's taken to babysitting the kid just to be near at least one member of the family he built for himself in the wake of the worst days of his life .... Well, anyone who says shit about it can happily stand in line to have their teeth kicked in.

Despite this, it still catches him off-guard when he sees a familiar face pop up in one of Bruce's reports.

Jason Todd, caught boosting tires off the batmobile, is nearly the same age now as he was when Dick met him. He stares at the words, but none of them really sink in beyond the kid's name and address. He's moving before he's even made the decision.

He's used to the world kicking him when he's down - lived it for 40 frustrating years. But he has Bruce again. And things with Tim have been so good. And he's always been selfish when it comes to family. If he could just see Jason. If he could just meet him. If he could talk to him.

If if if if if--

I've come around on Callowmoore and in doing so realized my main problem with them originally was part of the fandoms insistence on chalking them up to being "a sexy provocative woman being sexy next to a sexy gruff man". Where as I can only enjoy them through the lens of their autistic arospec t4t weirdness.

#callowmoore #critical role #i've discarded fanon and embraced their canonical cringefail silly bitchy shenanigans #its about the doubling down on one anothers insane ramblings #its about the 'if you want something you can just ask' 'i want to not have to ask >:|' #its about the shared unwavering appreciation of broken disgusting scary things as their favorite little guys #and this isnt canon but the idea of fearne giggling and twirling her hair at the idea of calling themselves each others partners #*fearne voice* this week its MY turn to be the boyfriend #sorry. my thoughts and feelings on genderfuckery callowmoore are powerful. #hcing that fearnes experience with gender was that no one ever assumed she was a woman bc fey just have different experiences with those- #sorts of labels. but she still very much resonates with terras concept of womanhood to a degree where she’s like #‘hell yeah I’m a pretty lady <3’ but also still has fun messing around with that in less ‘conventional’ ways #I also hc Ashton being kinda meh on gender as well. his feelings are neutral and unbothered around cis people #but they also very much see + resonate with the way other genderqueer people fuck with identity and presentation like #it’s a performance art that he’s only half invested in engaging with. for fun and competitively.

one time in junior high this annoying adorable & amusing af guy in my graduation class was like 'the more you laugh, the longer you live' and he was so fucking right for that

#mine #personal #i think about that line just abt everyday tbh and i've been thinking about this mf like 24/7 for about a week now #i would get him in projects sometimes and he would tend to be loud and annoying as hell but the other half of the time he would be #insightful as shit and become really focused like????? idk. he's endearing af lmfao. also the way he talked abt his gf at the time was #fucking adorable. LOVED having that dude as a project partner. he would always bring so much spice to whatever the fuck was going on. #i don't think we were really friends bc we wouldn't really talk outside of projects........ i wish we were tho...... :( #he was a complete contrast to what my personality at the time was and i think that's why i enjoyed him so much lol #ANYWAY

asking someone to hang out can be so humiliating . hiiii heyy would you like to. spend time with me on purpose. hello

#there are TWO separate people i have been unsuccessfully trying to work up the courage to ask to hang out #one of them ive never hung out with one on one but i think hes so cool and interesting #and i want to get to know him better so im gonna ask if he wants to ? get coffee?? #idk i like only ever see him in group situations and hes usually there with one of his partners #so its like. i feel weird trying to find a way to talk to him #BUT THE OTHER PERSON IS LIKE. IDK WHY IM EMBARRASSED #SHES LITERALLY MY MOMS FRIEND AND SHE LIVED WITH US FOR LIKE A YEAR AND A HALF. #SHE USED TO DRIVE ME TO WORK. #WHAT ARE YOU SO EMBARRASSED FOR GIRL.

I would like to offer the possibility of a Ron x Harry x Hermoine ship where Ron is the voice of reason, Harry is either the goodest or the most feral boy (or both; what's stopping him exactly?), and Hermoine IS still the brain, but she needs to be reminded to have self-control.

They can be in any house, because they will make it work.

#harry potter #hermoine granger #ron weasley #ron x harry x hermoine #ron x harry #ron x hermoine #harry x hermoine #ronarry #harmione #just imagine ron not expecting to be the voice of reason in most of their escapades but he really is possibly the most stable one #hermoine EXPECTS that she is to be the voice of reason but she just have this tendency to run amock with her research #harry being the goodest but feral boy that he is #he doesnt give half a shit of what others think of him #he just wants to live his life to the fullest #and preferably #he wants to live his life with his besties-turn-partners #can be interpreted as either platonic or romantic #hermoine being the queen that she is #ron weasley is the best friend #and the best partner #harry is the boy who lived and will continue living

Fancy a request? 🤓 How about #2 with Hunter? 🫦 Please and thank you and no pressure as always!

Send me one of the following for a 200 word clone drabble

Ya know, it's a slow Friday so far so I do fancy a request.

No 2 is "That is the most attractive thing I have ever seen in my life" with Hunter and 200 words. OK let's go!

The heat of a fight — the sounds, smells, sights — rarely overwhelmed Hunter. Rather, they focused him. Helped him keep his edge in tight situations.

He blamed that for how he could barely keep his eyes off you. You were a handy fighter and even better splicer with your own grudge against the Empire, and a solid asset to the team.

But none of that was running through his mind as he knocked out another Stormtrooper. All he could focus on was the fluidity of your movements, each turn, block, punch and kick smoothly running into the next. It looked like you were dancing, not fighting, and Hunter couldn’t understand how you could make violence look beautiful.

Another trooper stepped up to you, ready to swing at the side of your head. But before Hunter could call out to warn you, you pivoted, tossing your head and torso down and swinging your legs up to wrap around the man’s neck. Your momentum continued, allowing you to swing the trooper to the ground, landing with your knee on his throat for just a second before you stunned him.

“That is the most attractive thing I have ever seen in my life,” Hunter mumbled softly, unable to stop from imagining his head between your thighs in a much different setting.

a/n: I very much had Black Widow at the beginning of 2012 Avengers in mind here. I think that kinda capability and skill in hand-to-hand combat would be almost irresistibly attractive to Hunter.

Sorry this isn't too spicy, but this is what I think would really be a visual that stuck with Hunter that could fit into 200 words :)

#thanks for the ask! #this was so fun #hunter is a guy who would absolutely fawn over a partner who could put him on his ass #they genuinely always try one upping the other #half the time they give up and just give in to other kinds of 'sparring' #hunter x reader #tbb hunter x reader #tbb #the bad batch #clone prompts
