Are soul gems the only way to bring life to a doll? Or could one possibly place a living soul in one?

Oh boy lemme introduce you to Elleno, not from the same story but she specializes in exact that

"Most young patrollers who exchanged north of the Dead Lake took primed knives from home along. About half the patrollers returned, ready to take up expanded duties. None of the knives did. A steady stream of sacrifice, flowing northward."

Matvey-Lukyan Volkov-Makarov ☀

or "Matthew Clarke," really depends on who you ask...

General Info -

Name: Matvey-Lukyan Volkov-Makarov(True Identity is on a need-to-know basis)

Age: 19

Issued Identity: Matthew Clarke

Issued Age: 23

Issued Rank: Specialist

Callsign: "Kid" until Further Notice

Status: Alive

Ethnicity: Tajik

Nationality: N/A(His parents kept his existence fairly quiet, only his mentors and his parent's closest associates knew he existed for quite some time before he went missing when he was older. His parents when he was young did debate that he may exist under a different name in the legal system in Tajikistan but didn't look into it after Matvey was disinterested at the prospect of meeting his biological parents.)

Height: 5' 7

Blood-Type: O+

Weight: 145 Pounds / 67 Kg(He came weighing less than that.)

Further Info -

"All things considered the kid came out far better than anyone would have expected given who his parents are."

Matvey was adopted a little over at two months old along the border crossing between Russia and Kazachstan on a cargo road that showed little action. He never really thought about the reason why he was there or the what how, just that he would've died if not for intervention (lucky or damning) you be the judge.

He had a pretty fair upbringing if you don't bring up visiting warehouses with his father or playing with guns at a young age. He was originally raised to be just that, a son, however it would become more skewed as the year's went on and his father Makarov's power grew. Then his role went past being only a son and more of a "good soldier." Of course, what Matvey would've called his first "failure" was failing his mentors and by proxy, his father. His mentors said he would never be a soldier and neither would he be strong enough to fight. It just wasn't in his cards. After that, his father's expectations seemed to slow down to a simmer, and his approach became to hold Matvey at an arm's reach away from the Ultranationalist Party and revolving plans. He would be protected, but not without getting trained to protect himself and escape at a moment's notice.

Though Makarov obviously wasn't his only father, his extended family mostly comes from Yuri's side of the family. Matvey obtained personality traits from Makarov but was much closer to Yuri. Yuri's a sensitive topic as is most of everything in his life. Yuri and Matvey both have something in common and that is "abandoning" or in Matvey's case "running away." Yuri left, without a word or notice and Matvey chased after him, and only realised he wasn't coming back "home" after two months on the road with Lobo, his loyal guard dog. Exact details on the first year of Matvey's lone days have not been found, but not without some prying. All he has to show for it is the bloodied patch the 141 found him holding along with his belongings.

Matvey was found along the Chernobyl exclusion zone by 141 squad members bleeding out in the hospital safe house he had rigged with traps, bleeding out from a wound that a mercenary had done to him in retaliation for murdering his partner, forgetting about the long-term reward of keeping him alive and sending him back to his father. And instead attempted killing him for revenge. He said he lived well off for what he had. With his father's hired mercenaries on his tail, he couldn't exactly pick a lot of areas. They caught his scent a month before the 141 had found him, sending an SOS through a makeshift antenna but getting help when they were finally able to trace it with spare time on their hands. Matvey really hadn't intended on surviving to the end if at all.

Combat-Style: Matvey plays dirty, real dirty, most "end up killing themselves" before they even see his face. He uses traps, bombs, chemical warfare (has an inclination for using gas) throwing knives and all sorts. Usually, he keeps to having a good distance with any target and avoids close combat at all costs, if any combat at all. And tends to favor using escape tactics he's learned over his previous training. He's known by most to be very slippery and sly if he wants something over with quickly.

If with a squad on something serious he fills a support role: and (jokest3r's opinion: his support role is something similar to Elizabeth in Bioshock Infinite just without all the tears.) can find materials or target objects fairly easily since slipping through vents and getting out unseen is one of his best strengths and keeps him away from any of the serious fighting while still helping the team.

Personality: Matvey is naturally combative, moody, and "explorative" if the definition meant rule-breaking. He alternates between being quiet and isolated to being playful and rather "loud." He follows orders to a T, almost too closely like he's had past experience. He's self-destructive when it comes to most people as he doesn't want to care for much of anyone since all signs seem to point to anyone he cares for or stays with long term end up dying or disappearing one way or the other. Or abandoning him. He also tends to not understand social cues and is very affectionate even if the situation around him is dire. Warning: hugs and heartfelt conversations abound.

Allegiance: Matvey made it very clear where his loyalties lied, along with his goal to reunite with his father Yuri and gain some closure beyond bottling up all his anger and mourning for a father that doesn't seem to exist anymore. He's also seemingly gotten attached to some of the members, and would like to see them alive. When asked what that exactly meant he shrugged, thinking anyone else would've known what he meant.

As time passes the 141 hope to get Matvey out of his shell and influence him to grow and make better decisions. For now, Matvey will try to grow used to Western surroundings and hopefully, meet both his father's face to face, though he knows that it won't likely end happily. (FLAT COLOUR UNDERNEATH THE TAB)

clown uta design? a tiny little idea i had to doodle down

#♥ my art #one piece #film red #one piece uta #op uta #uta #the black half of her face isn't face paint. it's her actual face #but i need to expand on this idea someday to explain it #anyway this is her with and without her jacket #a colorful little menace not meant to make people happy #she's chasing them with a knife in hand

He's not in the royal au at all, but Aya posted the doppelganger and made me think of him. And my gosh who is going to feed Balmoral if I don't?

#{Mhoirbheinn #:outofcash #no one should want him in the au anyways #he'd just be rude to everyone and run the risk of stabbing people he probably shouldn't #Charidynn gives him One look and he's contemplating if it'd cause more problems then it'd solve to reach for his knife #scopohobia tw #{N.s.f.w #ish #also between Zhaohui and this can you tell I have a fondness for G.earous' art haha #also this makes me think of........one time somewhere where I asked if Bal found JJ hot like he does Mhoirbheinn

The Objects by Lygia Fagundes Telles. I wish you guys could understand.

#youni originals #it's a short story. a guy messing with the decorative objects in his wife's desk while she beads a necklace #and using the objects' lack of purpose to express how unloved he's feeling #and reminiscing about an antiques store they visited once. and then he takes the antique knife and goes for a walk. #(it's a 'suspense' tale so it just ends there. no clear resolution.) #and the bit about the objects only truly becoming themselves when they're given a purpose. augh. #'what is a dagger for when not buried in a chest?' #it feels extremely. stuff you'd see in one of those webweaves people make out of quotes and arts and movie/series frames

[agenttexsflippedshit]

I have this thing that happens with longer personal writing projects where I go, “what would the query letter to an agent look like” - partially bc I’m a creature of habit and want to publish everything, partially because fits about focusing on the through line and can help me figure out the core of the project.

And right now it’s very much like, why should anyone care about my lil guys? What are their journeys and what is compelling enough to encourage people to go beyond the first paragraph, let alone the first page?

Which in turn leads to the question of like, why am I compelled by these stupid guys?

And honestly, it’s because I sat them down and gave them my issues and pushed them to the point of absurdity and said “go live with that for a while and get back to me” and now they’re fucked up in some pretty fun ways and I like writing about the hopes and fears that it inspires

But I’m still like, questioning why anyone else would care about this, beyond the queer rep

#I live in fear of writing a book for publication and the marketing resting solely on the queer rep #like yeah nothing I touch is straight obvi #but also this isn’t going to be for people that expect family values #there’s a lot of myself in this which isn’t Great but also not the bits you’d expect #I love by the ‘art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed’ mantra and this really hits that #but it’s also very sad and I can already picture the kind of drama this is going to inspire #I hope this is what gets published. I hope it blows up booktok. I hope breadtubers make videos on this work because no one knows #what the real takeaway is #bc tbf there is no good takeaway beyond the fact that people can love you #with all of their hearts even #but it’s not enough to save you or prevent bad things from happening. #the love is there and casts its hue to the world but a knife is still a knife and bloody hands are still bloody #huh. talking in the tags just helped me figure this out. #thanks for the help everyone

Something quick about how the scripting process makes me feel.

Yeah yeah I know S1 is bad and all but like. Even from the start the plots are well foreshadowed and paced.

#I will admit I am a season one enjoyer #YES the sound is bad and the art is weird and it's problematic and stuff #but it's not as bad as people make it out to be #it's pretty fun actually #Or maybe I just like watching Knife and Balloon commit crimes who knows #inanimate insanity #object posting #ii season 1

My grammy just called me and was like

"Are you SURE there isn't anything you want for Christmas besides a PRINTER???"

Shes so done with me and my mom lol

#my mom asked for a nail gun #and a new vacuum sealer although thats *technically* for my dad but he would rather just not celebrate Christmas #i went ahead and asked for a rock tumbler #she ALSO got me a decorative knife at the craft fair tho #which is why i hadnt asked for the rock tumbler until now #cuz that knife was 60 dollars #its very pretty tho 🥺 #its opalescent glass with a.....i think wood handle but they also had ones with deer antler handles #and i cant remember which one i picked #WE'RE PRACTICAL PEOPLE GRAMMY #WE ASK FOR PRACTICAL THINGS #like idk man if i want like a book or movies or games or some shit and have the money for it i just buy it #like im not gonna wait for a specific day for it #i impulse buy things i just WANT #im less likely to impulse buy things i actually need #i need a printer (mostly a scanner but getting an all in one printer makes a lot more sense than just buying a scanner) #so i can digitize my art #cuz im far more comfortable doing physical art and then touching it up on my computer than i am doing straight digital art #also i wanna get into fan binding and stuff #cuz if i have to go to another location to print or scan things im just not gonna do it #its too many extra steps #also i miss having a printer #a rock tumbler would also be appreciated tho #ive wanted one since i was a little kid #so has my mom #AND I HAVE SO MANY ROCKS I WOULD LIKE TO POLISH #also i wanna see what happens if you tumble driveway gravel #one of my baby cousins gifted me some while i was drunk at a family bonfire and i almost cried #i need to test its mohs hardness tho #it probably wont get shiny

[indexcard]

it's time to speak my truth. i can't listen to "working for the knife" anymore because i hear a wildly successful musician saying "i wish i was making things" and feel the same kind of rage as when skinny people say they're soooo fat

#i know it's perfectly possibly for people to make art about their past experiences #and i am well aware of impostor syndrome. #but at my current stage of working for the knife it's too much to bear #blah blah blah

[goldpilot22]

edgy lil bastard (is feeling very uncomfortable)

#psii.txt #my art #my ocs #temporary tag for story name pending #Sterling #Shrike #finally drew something that properly shows how their scar affects their facial expressions when they're not smiling #when sterling gets anxious they'll just pull out a knife and fidget with it #like 'you're making me uncomfortable. friendly reminder that I'm very good at stabbing people to death' #also the text isn't from anything I just came up with it #I drew this days ago but forgor to post it oopsies

[tellie-vision-art]

I’m gonna be honest I lowkey want to draw Axel or maybe her with Priya but I don’t normally draw fanart and I am scared 😭

And also I would hate if people followed me explicitly for that BC I don’t normally draw fanart and I know it would be disappointing to see my OCs all the time. Like would any attention I receive from it be worth it if no one’s interested in my actual art rather than just the characters in it. Like there’s no demand for my art would anyone who follows me even care if I drew fanart 😭 it’s a double-edged sword

And like interacting with fandoms always ends poorly for me (Scream Queens bc harassment, Squid Game bc lots of gross people) what if I draw it and post it and the TD fandom gets ruined for me too somehow, I would die 😩 I fear interaction outside my target audience (followers and my friends) I suppose

#total drama was my first hyperfixation fun fact for you #but I was too small and bad at art to make content at the time lmao #but like damn what if I draw them and they look like shit in my style I would off myself #also tbh I headcanon Axel probably doesn’t care about shaving bc she’s too busy… surviving #and I don’t want to get roasted for drawing a woman with body hair 😩 #I feel like also I want to give her a tooth gap I think her design would look aesthetically pleasing to me with it #I love her so much she was ROBBED #also she is trans and a lesbian she told me personally #if she told me to jump off a bridge I would with no questions asked #anyway random ship headcanon also: I feel like Axel is the one with the crush first #however her ways of showing affection are not necessarily seen as affectionate by other people bc she’s so intense #like i.e. I feel like she genuinely thought killing the squirrels for her team was a kind gesture #she just does not show things like kindness traditionally if that any of that even makes sense #THE POINT IS SHE’S SHOWING AFFECTION BUT PRIYA’S NOT PICKING UP ON IT BC SHE SHOWS IT WEIRDLY 😭 #lmao I’m imagining her trying to gift her a knife (or saw!) bc she’s baffled at the idea of someone not having one for self-defense #SHE BRINGS HER (cooked obviously) DEAD THINGS LIKE A CAT 😭 #she won’t get you flowers she will bring you military rations so you’ll have food when the apocalypse comes #maybe Priya even gets irritated by everything bc she’s capable of defending/doing things herself and she’s like #misinterpreting Axel’s shows of affection as her thinking she’s weak/incapable #and poor Axel wouldn’t understand what she’s doing wrong bc she is ensuring her survival! why is that not working! #Someone needs to help her but I can’t see her accepting help #but it would be funny to see someone suggest giving Priya flowers or smth and Axel’s like #why would I do that flowers just die wouldn’t you rather have a weapon for when the apocalypse comes #a strange way of showing affection but I think it would be CUTE #and it would be funny bc Priya would eventually show affection the normal way and Axel would not pick up on it at all #she would tell her she looks pretty today but what she REALLY wants to hear is I would trust you with my life during the apocalypse #the way to her heart is the apocalypse! she just tragically thinks it’s the way to everyone else’s as well #lmao I’m talking so much but it’s so funny to me #a disaster lesbian in her natural environment #they mean so much to me I saw them interact once and my brain was like yes this is it
