a breathless kiss. they don’t want to break away from you, even if it’s for a mere second. so instead they pull you even closer to them, the slight lack of oxygen making you feel just dizzy enough to fully drown in the feeling of their lips on yours. it’s the only thing you feel.

I'm calling magnus archives esque vibes on this
and what I mean by that is this eye we see in the animatic is Them, the pure form of Them.
(first I guess I should say a warning for spoilers about the Magnus Archives, idk if any of ya'll would want to get into the podcast but I'm using it to explain my thoughts)
And you might be going "but Them are already in the Constant, They're the ones over Max & Charlie" and yes that's correct, but that is a weaker version of Them, which has managed to bleed into the Constant, more than likely why They haven't done anything by their own hand in a sense
In terms of The Magnus Archives as I mentioned, there are eldritch horrors, 'the Fears' as they're known in the universe, and they are in a somewhat separate dimension outside of the one in which the podcast takes place but they've bled into it as society has evolved, splitting into 14 fears to represent humanitys main fears, and those who feed the fear, Avatars, have worked to perform Rituals in order to bring their respective fear into the world so that it can take full rule over.
The Ancients were the first we know that tried to perform this 'ritual' of sorts, but as we also know it would eventually bring the destruction of their civilization.
Charlie has now begun to take up this mantle.
And I can only assume that this won't end well
in terms of Altar as well since they're part of the whole Them hivemind in a sense, I think they've managed to actually enter into the Constant, splitting off from the whole of Them
But in being split apart from Them they're much weaker than they once were, I would potentially guess that if Charlie can get the gateway to actually work and bring Them into the Constant proper than this would have drastic consequences, which is why sides are being chosen. Lunar vs Shadows.
I've heard people mention that there is a major gap between both Shadow aligned and Lunar aligned items (lunar having the lesser amount) and this would make sense, which also raises that Wagstaff might just know this and be making attempts to sway power to Altar so that this doesnt end up with a 'win' for Them

WIP Weekend~
Thanks for all of the tags in the past month or so, I appreciate all of them 💖 Thank you to @melisusthewee, @ndostairlyrium, @cleverblackcat, @demandthedoodles, and @idolsgf for thinking of me! Even if I don't respond, it means the world to me that you would tag me 🥺
I've been dealing with some really aggressive anxiety and haven't been writing much. I tried my hand at some micro story prompts recently and worked up to posting one last week, only to private it after a few hours. I'm gonna use that as my WIP because while the prompt was for a micro story, it gave me big thoughts, and I really don't want to consider this finished. I want to flesh it out further and make it a little easier to understand. Because I know what I'm going for, but I'm not sure it's clear and conveys the specific emotions that I want it to.
In short (and for the benefit of my non-Destiny friends), I wanted to explore Crow's feelings about regaining the memories of his past life and the inevitable recurring nightmares I think would stem from that. The Mae that Crow meets and falls in love with is very different from the Mae from Uldren's memories -- a hollow, dead-eyed guardian full of grief and hell-bent on revenge.
It had been odd to him at the time, how she had denied a connection with Solar Light. How his playful questions doubting her proficiency had been answered with downcast eyes and a slow shrug. He had seen her wield the Light in other ways countless times—but never Solar.
It just doesn’t come naturally, she had whispered with finality, an unspoken plea to not repeat the question. And so he hadn’t.
The answer echoes now in Crow’s mind as he looks just past the barrel of the gun gripped tightly in her hand. He hears himself snarl a question shaped like a knife that she doesn’t dignify with an answer. What he can see of her skin burns with Solar Light, creeping up to settle into her irises with a hue to match his own.
It is only then that he realizes that he both is and is not himself, as she stares through him. He can feel everything—his past and his present—pressing down on him all at once. Anger, fear, indignation, pride, terror. Acceptance. They can both agree on that.
A garbled noise to her left draws him from his thoughts. It is a sound he has come to recognize as her Ghost as it begs for his life, though he can’t hear its words anymore. It isn’t important, it stops nothing.
It never does.

one of the cashiers at the grocery store i go to is so fucking fixated on shoplifters and it drives me crazy any time i check out through him (i try to avoid him but his checkout is often the most open/empty - hm! i wonder why! - and im often on a tight schedule w the bus). he brings up shoplifters every opportunity he gets and he seems so convinced that theyre a huge problem.
BUT WHAT REALLY GETS ME ,,, is that today the customer in front of me was needing a price check on one of the items bc it should've come out to be cheaper, so he was kind of apologetic abt it and saying "ah well, yknow, six dollars is six dollars, especially with how expensive groceries are right now" and i was nodding and agreeing (trying to show that i dont mind the wait and also solidarity my guy good for u for speaking up and getting the price fixed on that) AND THE CASHIER AGREES. FULLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND BEMOANS THE FACT THAT GROCERIES ARE CRAZY RN. AND THEN GOES ON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SHOPLIFTERS. HUH ??????
so you agree that groceries are unreasonably expensive... and that sometimes ppl can't afford them... and yet ....................

This Blog is Anti-AI
I know I have very few followers, but as more of you become aware of new setting allowing AI to scrape art from blogs and reblogs, I want to make my stance on the issue extremely clear:
If I wanted to feed an artificial intelligence algorithm my art, I would have done so myself. Until the AI is fully removed from Tumblr, I will not be hosting my art here. Until the AI is fully removed from Tumblr, I will not be using the site or the app. Until the AI is removed from Tumblr, this is not a safe place for me to exist or express my ideas.
I'm sorry if this inconveniences you. I genuinely appreciate all the follows and reblogs y'all have blessed me with. I still have art available on my Patreon, Ko-Fi, Discord, and Twitch. You can find those sites in my pinned post and you can follow my Patreon for free.
I'll be restructuring my Patreon in March to allow people to access my SFW art for free, so if that's an option y'all are interested in, feel free to drop a follow there.
This is a topic I feel very seriously about. I always said that I wouldn't leave Tumblr no matter how bad things got, but I guess I'm eating my words now. To me, the ability to create art is a quantifiable aspect of the human soul and to have it stripped down and sold for corporate use like this (specifically: without the consent of the artist for data mining and ai training) is indescribably vile.
I think that AI can be used ethically, but this? This ain't it, chief.
