Prompt 168
So. Apparently halfas are like phoenixes or something, which Danny would’ve really liked to know.
See, usually with ghosts if they’re forced to retreat to their cores they reform as was, but apparently, since they’re still partially living, schrodinger's people and all that, halfas have to regrow their body from scratch. At least that’s what he’s understanding from Frostbite.
But how come he has to deal with it? It’s Dan’s fault for trying to pull such a stunt! Oh, it’s either him or Vlad? Well fuck, he might have calmed down and is going to therapy in both the living realm and the Zone, but he’s waaay not equipped to raise a child except for like, monetarily wise.
Well dammit, how long will this core incubation thing last, he has his new job in… let him check which offer he accepted again… He has his new job in Coast City that he needs to finish packing for and then all the rest of the stuff to do.
What do you mean it’ll take months?! He doesn’t have months?! Urgh, fine. At least being a mortician isn’t that exciting, nor dangerous. Just hand him Dan’s core and he’ll figure things out for the living side of things. He’s sure Tucker and Sam wouldn’t be against helping, if only to try and claim favorite aunt or uncle spots.

my food stamps weren't renewed this month and in order to receive them my landlord, who is refusing to release my housing subsidy and let me move, needs to sign off on paperwork verifying I live where I say I do. Whether or not I can get food stamps is completely in his hands at this point, somehow, and considering how he has treated me I really don't think he's going to sign off on this
Vnm. alumirust
cshp. $doppelgougar
I need help with food until this situation is unfucked bc I am literally out and funds for moving, which is hopefully going to happen around the 12
I'm trying to move out of my current apartment because of an infestation LL has done nothing about as well as some other health concerns w the building and an on-going situation with my weird chaser neighbor upstairs who continues to escalate things to the point of stalking. My LL refuses to relinquish my housing subsidy and illegally extended my lease and now I have to go through a whole legal process to be allowed to leave.
on top of this a lot of my support team has not been helping me and dont seem to understand my issues with memory despite repeated reminders :s my situation is a whole mess, there are approximately a dozen things falling apart rn and I'm just kind of having to ride it down! It's a really scary time and I don't even know where I'm gonna end up.

CARRION EATER
this is some kind of standalone idea. the original version was much more goofy, crassus was going to cover up pompey's mouth and say, 'no, no. he's got a point. let him speak,' and then pompey was going to bite his hand and say, 'you're not even supposed to BE here.'
then I read a review about a staging of julius caesar that sounded like it got REALLY mean (because it involved improv since it seemed like the intention was supposed to be interactive with the audience) and decided to add some teeth into it.
(also yes, I broke the 180 rule. it’s fine. usually I try to include panels that show characters walking around when I do that, but this comic was a standalone, so instead pretend that I’m spinning the theoretical cameraman around on an office chair or something. or that the camera is a ghost.)
also because titling something Carrion Eater and then NOT having it get a little mean and nasty in the dialogue seemed. like a waste.
eventually, I'll figure out a design for lucullus that I like, I keep wanting to draw other characters when I draw him, so he might need a new hairstyle.
ONWARDS! this is playing off of this scene
To this Lucullus retorted that Pompey was going forth to fight an image and shadow of war, following his custom of alighting, like a lazy carrion-bird, on bodies that others had killed, and tearing to pieces the scattered remnants of wars. For it was in this way that he had appropriated to himself the victories over Sertorius, Lepidus, and the followers of Spartacus, although they had actually been won by Metellus, Catulus, and Crassus. Therefore it was no wonder that he was trying to usurp the glory of the Pontic and Armenian wars, a man who contrived to thrust himself in some way or other into the honour of a triumph for defeating runaway slaves.
Plutarch, Pompey 31
the romans are fightingggggg 🍿🍿🍿
finally, the painting panel is taken from Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's The Triumph of Marius (through the Met's Open Access/Public Domain use policy etc)

So at the end of the first chapter of MKX, Johnny uses his green glow to save Sonya from Shinnok

just some casual early morning fishing and some not-so-casual evening pining after your best friend
mini explanation of how this would take place if it were a prequel to the dangers of not confessing comic
After ozai’s defeat, they finally take a break and go on the fishing trip they lied about. And it’s amazing, and fun, and Zuko’s heart is aching throughout every second of it. Because he’s drowning under the weight of his impending duties as firelord. He has Responsibilities. But all he wants to do is be with Sokka and have the time relaxing with the people he cares about, actions that he was deprived of during his youth. And Sokka’s about to be halfway across the world, back at his home, where he belongs. And it would be selfish to ask Sokka to stay. And even more selfish to tell him how he feels when he knows soon the trip will be over, and it will never work between them, and Sokka probably doesn’t even feel the same way. So he stays silent.
And misses his chance.

Thrilling sequel: Group pictures!
I shall have to send Belle a formal apology in the mail.
Bonus shots below the cut!
Just quick fun things. P showing off some moves, Venigni at work, Dramatique Alchemists, and Polendina and Antonia sharing a moment. Geppeto’s chair also has no legs for…some reason?
Bonus bonus: In which at some point I had left Gio in the middle of the lobby and this angle was really funny to me.
