WcWd: This OC I introduced but refused to elaborate on a couple weeks ago

I should start by introducing him: his name is E'lim! I chose it because it sounded partially like "Eli" with a bit of the word "limb" mixed in. TBH I just mash random syllables together when coming up with names (this was moreso the case back when E'lim here was made, but that's still part of my naming process sometimes)

I mentioned that he usually wears a more plain attire when he appeared two Wednesdays ago. Well, turns out that I never settled on consistent shoes, either. Here's a couple more pixel art drawings I found of him:

There's quite a few more (probably unfinished) drawings of this fella hidden within the containers for nigh every medium I used around 2019-2021. After that? Not sure what happened, but suddenly I didn't like him. Like, I think he'd be more appealing as a character if his arms were noodley but I always drew them so stiff as though they had bones and it looked weird.

Looking back, I didn't have a good enough grasp of how to make this type of character: noodley limbs that definitely don't connect to the rest of the body in an anatomically correct way, oversized shoes that will inevitably result in cursed imagery if taken off, gloves that are likewise over-inflated and never to be removed... huh maybe I should do a character design study on Sonic characters

I also constantly gave him that stupid-looking smile. It reminds me of the Dreamworks face meme now and I hate it. Now, if I were to redesign this guy? I'd embrace the fact that he's supposed to be stylized, and NOT worry about whether or not he appears to have bones because it seems like that's exactly what I did every single time I drew him and, poor guy, that's not a good look for him 😔

...I wanted to end the post with that paragraph, but then I started typing up the other two-thirds of this post in the hashtags. So here's my rant about the canvas sizes: the "Halloween" one was WAAAY too big for starters. There was this whole era of my drawings where I wanted to be able to capture the details that other mediums offer, but I also didn't want to use other mediums because pixel art was what I was best at. I ended up just taking an unnecessarily long time on massive pixel art canvases, all because I had concerns about working in a software like ibisPaint or Procreate. "Pixel art doesn't require brushes, so how would I know which brush to use?" "What on earth is a 'blending mode'?" "I can't draw a straight line for the life of me, and you want me to add weight to them now??" I'm pretty sure most self-taught artists have struggles like those, though; I was just a bit late to it because learning those things wasn't needed in my pixel artist skillset, oddly enough

Anyway. Those two drawings of E'lim with a clipboard are actually some of the last I made, both of him and in oversized pixel art. You might can tell that I was beginning to address all of the problems I've brought up in this post already; the scale on it is smaller than the Halloween drawing, and the face isn't just a widened smile peering directly into the viewer's soul. Regardless I still wasn't proud of how he kept turning out in my drawings (and also didn't fit into my shifting ideas for worldbuilding) so I lost interest in drawing him and he fell out of being one of my main OCs.

#I think I'm gonna draw him again soon #just to see if I can fix how rigid his limbs look #maybe redesign him a little #I might like this character again!#btw his pronouns are he/it but I've been using mainly “he” because “it” feels dehumanizing and also a bit confusing to read?#like am I referring to an object or a character #the lore would've been that it was created artificially by some nobody with creation powers #which is kinda why I decided to go with he/it in the first place #so they're more like his technical pronouns than his preferred ones #idk if he has preferred pronouns actually but I prefer to use “he/him” for him #this makes me sound like I'd suck as a father for an LGBTQ+ individual #I'm an ally but I'm not really beating the allegations #luckily there aren't any against me yet but it'd be horrible PR if this post resurfaced someday #character art #character design #original character #pixel art #wildcard wednesdays

I think it would be really cute if the reader goes to the dance with Xavier and before they enter, she quietly smoothes/fixes his tie because he couldn't do it perfectly the first time

I’d kiss you as the lights went down (Xavier Thorpe x f!reader)

Masterlist

Pairing: Xavier Thorpe x f!reader

Word count: 1.2k

Summary: You were so ready for Rave'N dance that you even took the time to look at videos on how to tie a tie properly

Warning: FLUFF and the reader being a completly sweetheart that must be protected and loved by all of us

A/N: At this point, I want to love him as much as I love Namor

Coments, Reblogs and Asks are happily received! I love to read your lovely coments :)

You were so ready for this dance, you even went out of your way to pick the perfect dress and watch several (more than fifty-seven hours’ worth of) videos of how to do the perfect make up. Enid still demanded to be in charge of it. How to do the perfect hairstyle. Enid still demanded to be in charge of it. How to be able to walk in heels and not kill yourself in the moment. Enid wasn’t able to help you with that.

You even casually invited your boyfriend to the dance as your date.

You finished gluing the letters you carefully cut from Enid’s magazines to your cardboard. It wasn’t perfect, in fact, it looked like one of those serial murderer’s notes they mail to their victims families. Even Wednesday highly praised you at your skills.

“If whatever you decided to do after finishing this hell doesn’t work, you have a great opportunity as a serial killer.” She emotionless stated as she fetched the aromatic salts from her desk, walking towards the passed-out Enid.

“You think he’ll say yes?” You asked her as Wednesday crouched and place the small vial on Enid’s nose. “What if he says no?”

Wednesday stared at you. “He is your boyfriend.”

“He could still say no, y’know?” You shrugged, placing the cardboard on Enid’s bed. “Xavier it’s kinda like a wildcard.”

“He says no and I will cut his dick off his body and feed it to my spiders.”

You smiled. “That’s the most compliment-thingy you had ever said to me.”

“Don’t push it.”

You began pacing inside of his room, the cardboard firmly against your chest as you practiced how to asked him to the dance.

“Baby, you’ve been walking in circles for the last,” He checked his watch. “fifteen minutes, what’s going on? Am I missing something?”

You ignored him, completely absorbed on your mind.

‘Would you go to the dance with me?’ No, too bland.

‘Oh Xavier, my beautiful and sexy boyfriend, would you give me he honor to accompany me to the gracious event that is the dance?’ No, that would increase his already huge ego.

Xavier sighed, throwing himself on his bed, his arms covering his arms. “Baby, c’mon, I invited you here so you could do the thing you do with your hands, the scratching on my head, I want to nap.”

‘Xavier, you, me, dance, yes?’ Possibly, simple, direct. But not quite yet.

“Baby, c’mooooon.” He groaned.

“Shhh, I’m thinking.” You responded, not stopping with your pace.

“You are giving me a headache, and not a cool one.” He said, his eyes following your movements, “What’s with the cardboard anyway?”

“Shh, I’m thinking hard.” You ignored his complains. Why couldn’t you think of a cool way to ask him out? Why man are so difficult?

‘Because they are stupid.’ The voice of Wednesday sounded inside of your head. You halted your pacing and Xavier sighed in relief…but it didn’t last as you began pacing again.

“Did something happened?” He asked you. “Just tell me the name and I’ll hit him later after our nap, just come to the bed.”

“Xavier.” You said, making your way to him, climbing on his bed and sitting on his stomach, both of your legs at each of his side. His hands quickly grabbed your thighs, a huge smile on his face.

“Well, I’m not complaining on the change of plans.” He tried to sit up to kiss you but you force him back on his bed. He frowned. “Is this some kind of roleplay I don't know about?”

“Shut it stupid.” You close your eyes and nod at yourself. “I have this huge speech, so you better keep quiet and let me say it.”

He tapped playfully at your thighs. “I’m all ears babe. All yours.”

“Ugh, don’t call me babe, it remind me of a huge humanoid in the shape of a fetus.” You groaned, your hands quickly turning over your cardboard, Xavier read it and smiled in amusement. “Go to the dance with me.” You demanded.

He waited for a few seconds, watching your face. “Wait…that’s the whole speech?” You nodded. “So you prepared for a whole fifteen minutes and you came up with that?”

You frowned. “You are being mean, asshole, if you don’t want to go with me just say so.”

Xavier sat up, carefully placing your cardboard behind him. “Baby, of course I will go with you, I mean if I didn’t want to then I wouldn’t had asked you last week.”

“You did?” You asked him confused. “When?”

It was his turn to stared at you. “Yes? Dude, I asked you when you decided to visit me into my archery practice? You even made fun of me because I didn’t have a cardboard to asked you out.”

Oh yeah, that happened.

You waited for him outside of your room, Enid and Wednesday already left minutes ago. You huffed as you saw the clock on the wall. Five minutes late, you were going to kill him.

“Wow.” A voice sounded behind you, you turned around and put your hands on your hips, your brow arching expectantly. “You look…”

“Amazing, I know.” You poke his chest with your finger. “You are late.”

Xavier laughed, “Baby, I’m only five minutes late, that isn’t late-late, it enters the category of fashionable late.” He offered his arm and you link yours with his. “Now c’mon, I bet that Kent has already spike the drinks or something.”

You hugged his arm and he kissed your hair. “Well shit, he doesn’t know what good alcohol is, no matter if I hit his face with it.”

Xavier shrugged. “Meh, don’t want you to get drunk though.”

“Why?” You asked him.

“Because you are a silent drunk, you totally ignore me and that breaks my feelings.” He cheekily smiled.

“Idiot.” You rolled your eyes.

“Love you more, baby.”

Xavier guide you towards the dance, everybody already dancing to the weird choice of music director Weems deemed good enough for this. You sighed but decided to just stick next to your boyfriend, who was more than happy to hold you closer to his body. That’s when you noticed his tie.

‘At least he made an attempt to do it himself.’ You thought as you separated yourself from him. Xavier frowned.

“Your tie sucks,” Your hands went to undo it quickly. He tried to stop you but you gently shushed him. “I’m doing it, I already learned how to.”

“Oh yeah?” He smiled, his eyes watching you with so much adoration. “When?”

“Since I asked you to the dance, youtube has lots and lots of videos on how to do it.”

Xavier watched you tie it, your fingers were a bit wobbly. Clearly you didn’t practice enough and at some point you became frustrated and decided to just make a bow.

“Done.” You simply said, hugging his waist once again.

“Thank you, my love.” He kissed your forehead and guide you to one of the tables, so you could take a few moments alone.

Hehe. 😇

This Mafia Bucky means business.

Now... Did you unknowingly tap into this image as exactly the Bucky I have tucked away on a story I've told no one about?

Maybe...

And because I'm feeling a little wild this Wednesday, WHY NOT LIFT SOMETHING OUT OF THE MESSY WIP AND PUT IT OUT THERE???

Working title for the AU is currently Shedding My Velvet...

Bucky turns to his head to the left, and Steve monitoring the security cameras and on comms with him, asks, "What do you see?"

“Green cardigan,” Bucky specifies.

To his credit, Steve doesn't let much of the smirk Bucky knows he must be smirking to bleed through his tone as he responds on the ear piece. "Got it. Running her through the database now."

One he takes his seat in the crowd, Bucky only glances back your way twice more before the boss of the Bronx finally shows up for their meeting.

Quill’s not late, they arranged to arrive at staggered times to draw less attention, but Bucky never likes to wait. Still, he chose to arrive first because he didn’t want Quill ahead of him in any way in any arena.

“Barnes,” the man says in greeting.

“Quill,” Bucky returns.

Bucky doesn’t roll his eyes, but he wants to every time he sees this man in the dark red leather jacket he’s built into his identity.

Quill waits for Bucky to speak, but Bucky doesn’t. He’s not verbose by any means, and he knows it irks Quill, especially when Bucky forces him to speak first. So he waits in the silence waiting for Quill to push the conversation they've both come here to have forward.

“Tony says you’ll agree if I agree.”

“Yes," Bucky affirms.

“Well, I agree.”

Bucky nods. He doesn’t respect Peter Quill, but he has no professional qualms. He neither trusts nor mistrusts him, but he does know Quill is a man of his word, and he’s got a track record of reliability within the accords of The Five. Bucky told Tony as much, and that’s why they were sitting on this bench. If Bucky heard it with his own ears, it would be done. He’d still monitor with a healthy amount of skepticism as he always did, but that was modus operandi.

“Then we leave Queens to the kid.”

“Eighteen months,” Bucky states.

Bucky nods again. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Steve stand from his bench and leave.

“And you think Danvers will stay out of it?”

Bucky scoffs, and this time he does roll his eyes. “Come on, Quill, you know Danvers has made it clear she barely deigns to deal with us and only indulges the accords to make sure she can operate her own territory as if we don’t exist.”

“All right, all right, I was just getting your read on the situation.”

“You and I are ostensibly the wildcards.”

If there were to be a turf war over trying to expand the territory and take over Queens, it would be Manhattan, the Bronx, and Brooklyn who stood to gain. Tony had already stated he would maintain status quo. Tony and Ben hadn’t been in power, but they’d both been around when the accords of the five had been fought out, and they’d battled through the chaos before the lines were drawn. Tony and Ben were old school, and they’d respected each other when they both came into power, ascending around the same time.

They were quiet again, but in this moment, the impatience on Quill’s end for Bucky’s silences had been put on pause.

“He’s young,” he finally said.

Bucky shrugged. “So were we.”

“He’s too young,” Quill qualified. It wasn’t a criticism; it was said remorsefully.

Bucky sighed. “Maybe.”

Ben Parker had been clear that his nephew Peter would take over Queens, had been unquestionably preparing him to take over, but everyone expected it to be another ten years and retirement before Ben was out of the scene, not an ascension due to a brutal murder of the mob boss, killer still unknown and at large.

After a few moments, Quill speaks again. “We done here?”

Bucky nods. They both stand, shake hands, and then turn their backs on each other and depart. Bucky looks to Steve first, then his eyes flick to the now-empty table where you had been, and then back to Steve, who falls into step with him as they walk away from the meet.

“Quill agreed to the terms,” Bucky starts. “Eighteen months from the day of Ben’s funeral to let Peter Parker step in and establish his power in Queens.”

“We knew he would.”

They both slip into the back of the black SUV at the curb, and once they’re settled in, Bucky turns to Steve. “Now tell me what you really want to tell me. You’re hardly keeping the grin off your face.”

Steve then lets the smile break freely - but it's warm, not gloating. “As it is the first time you have ever had me look into the identity of a stranger you’ve developed a crush on at first sight, you can’t blame me for being incredibly happy about this.”

Bucky grunts.

“I’ve got preliminary findings for you from Joaquin,” he starts.

“Torres?” Bucky protests. “You put the new kid on this?”

“He is our intelligence guy. Who else would I put on it?”

Bucky rolls his eyes.

“He’s younger than us,” Steve continues, “doesn’t make him a kid. We’re past the days when we were the young guys in this business. You’ve been nothing but impressed with him up to this point, and he’s coming up on a year with us.”

“Fine. Continue.”

“I already told him to keep this close to the chest. You, me, him – not even Sam.”

“Sam is the last person who gets to learn about anything like this.”

Steve laughs. “He’s already got her identity narrowed down to two possibilities and he’s confident he’ll have the full dossier ready to report by the time you come out of your meeting with Tony.”

LBSC Sprint Challenge February 2024

The LBSC Sprint Challenge is now open for writers and artists!

We did things a little differently this month and asked our discord members for Valentine's related prompts, so you get a few extra prompts this month! If you're not feeling the Valentine's vibe, the Wildcard option is always available.

The prompts are:

1. Flower Delivery boy Luka getting an address wrong. Which means the girl who answered the door might just be available. 2. Tom decides to drop some hints to Luka that Marinette is single and Valentine’s Day is coming up. And everyone knows that the best way to a man’s brain is through pastries decorated with not so subtle hints. 3. Florist!Mari- the heat in her shop has gone out, and it's Soo cold. Luka makes a delivery of something that has to be refrigerated. 4. Sabine, seeing Luka and Mari dancing around each other (and maybe seeing Tom fail to get the two together) decides to take matters into her own hands and what better excuse to have Luka around than needing an extra pair of hands at the bakery with the valentines rush coming up? 5. The people of Paris are shocked to discover Ladybug doesn’t like Valentine’s Day. People have plenty of theories, but Luka’s pretty sure he knows the reason why. 6. There's ALWAYS an akuma on Valentine's Day. 7. Conversation Hearts 8. Marinette makes an apron with a conversation heart pattern. Luka takes the 'kiss me' heart very seriously. 9. After all the roses from Chat Noir, Marinette's a little...indifferent to the traditional Valentine's flower. Luka has to get inventive. 10. Kwamis give dating advice with… mixed results 11. Marinette loves soulmate stories and believes in true love. Lately, she's feeling down and starts to give up on the whole idea. Luka tries to put together or act out a Soulmate story/AU in real life to help her feel better/special. 12. Luka trying to work up the nerve to smooch Marinette. Attempts to ask by giving her the "KISS ME" conversation heart. Marinette, distracted by something else: "Ewwwwwww." 13. Luka and Marinette are both doing valentines deliveries and get trapped/stuck in an elevator together 14. Wildcard - pick any previous challenge prompt, or play LBSC Smooch Roulette to generate a prompt!

You have until Wednesday, February 28 to complete your 3 15-minute sprints/45 minute art sprint and post the results. Once you’ve completed the sprints, you have 24 hours to edit (which can include some new writing to smooth transitions and make it feel complete, and whatever work you feel appropriate to get your art to a state you consider ‘finished’).

Please note you may sprint in the language of your choice, and you can either translate the final fic before posting, post it in the original language, or both as you choose. You can join us on the LBSC discord or sprint on your own! Just be sure to tag @lovebugs-and-snakecharmers in your final post so we will see it and reblog it. The rest of the rules can be found here under the cut.

Rules!

We’ll post a beginning and end date to the challenge, and a prompt.

Writers, If you choose to participate in the event, write for that prompt in up to three 15 minute sprints. No writing outside the sprints until you have completed all three! After the 3 sprints are complete, you have 24 hours to edit (which can include some new writing to smooth transitions, etc). You can also choose to break that 45 minutes up differently if you find a different split works better for you. After those 24 hours, post what you’ve got. Tag your posts with @lovebugs-and-snakecharmers so we can reblog it to the LBSC blog. If you post your work on AO3 or somewhere other than Tumblr, you can leave a link in our ask box or in the appropriate discord channel so we can be sure to promote it. After the designated challenge end date, we’ll compile a listing of the submissions and post it to the LBSC blog.

Feel free to sprint in whatever language is most comfortable to you! You can post it in your own language or translate it before posting, or both!

Artists, you have 45 minutes to sketch and 24 hours to do any cleanup or coloring you’d like to complete. You can split your 45 minutes up however you like, or not at all. There’s no requirements on your finished piece, just aim for whatever goal seems challenging but achievable to you. Tag your posts with @lovebugs-and-snakecharmers so we can reblog it to the LBSC blog. If you post your work on Instagram or somewhere other than Tumblr, you can leave a link in our ask box or in the appropriate discord channel so we can be sure to promote it. After the designated challenge end date, we’ll compile a listing of the submissions and post it to the LBSC blog.

If you’re wavering as to whether or not you think you can accomplish anything in 45 minutes, we really encourage you to give the challenge a try. You may be surprised what you can do! Feel free to join us in the discord linked above so we can encourage and cheer you on.

Obviously, this has to run a bit on the honor system and we won’t be tracking your times, but please do your best to honor the spirit of the challenge! If your sprint fic becomes an Entire Thing (these things happen sometimes) and you want to continue it, feel free! However, please still post whatever you’ve got after your 3 sprints with the tag. No fair busting out a fully polished fic or art without showing us what it looked like at the challenge stage!

We want to keep this a positive space and event! This does NOT mean that you can’t write or draw anything critical of a character or episode, but it isn’t the space for character bashing or hate either. Please keep the characters in character and save the more speculative work for another time. NSFW sprint works are permitted but must be tagged appropriately (please use “NSFW LBSC sprint challenge” for easy filtering on the blog) and with appropriate warnings. (More FAQ about the process here)

This is a Lukanette blog and a Lukanette event, so while Lukanette does not need to be the main ship, it needs to at least be included or referenced and considered endgame (in other words, they don’t have to be together by the end of your work, but the intent is that they’re headed in that direction). The decision about what qualifies for reblog rests solely with the LBSC moderators. If a piece hasn’t been reblogged within a couple of days, either the mods felt the piece didn’t meet the criteria or it was simply missed; you are welcome to reach out in the asks to inquire which. There are plenty of other spaces out there for other ships and OT3s, and people are welcome to use the challenge rules and prompts to write for their own ships! They just won’t be reblogged to the LBSC blog, and we ask that you please not use the event tag (a modified form is fine - “InsertAlternateShipName sprint challenge” instead of “LBSC sprint challenge,” for example).

Happy sprinting!

A thing of beauty I know, Chapter 2: You lit a flame that consumed my hate.

Previous Chapter

I saw in you what life was missing,you lit a flame that consumed my hate" She began, picking up a damaged guitar.

Weems sat behind her ornate desk in the dimly lit office, her fingers steepled as she contemplated the events of the past year. Thornill aka Laurel poisoning her, bringing back the dead pilgrim, her survival barely thanks to her shapeshifting abilities adapting her body to the venom, but the wildcard in all this, is Wednesday. She is special, good thing Wednesday didn't leave even after she tried to expel her. She wasn't there to witness it but she had heard from the students, how brave Wednesday was, fighting against Crackstone, saving the school against all odds. So she owes Wednesday, unfortunately.

"Principal Weems." And speaking of the devil.

"Yes Miss Addams, you can get in without my permission." Weems retorted.

"I require no one's permission," Wednesday responded confidently. "I need information, and you are going to help me now."

Now Weems tensed, what new problem is lurking around the school now?

"What do you need?"

"There has been quite an addition of students in our school this year, but unusually, most of them are unique and possess too different abilities. So you did not assign them to any of the 3 groups. I need to know their names and abilities."

Weems hesitated, realizing the sensitivity of the information. "That data is highly confidential. Regrettably, I cannot provide it. Moreover, your attempt to gather such information about the students concerns me as the school's principal. Therefore, I must inquire about the purpose behind your request."

Wednesday of course couldn't tell her she needs to know which of those students possess the power of shapeshifting.

"Contingency plan," Wednesday explained. "As you've seen, a single hyde terrorized the entire school. Surely, there are more powerful beings out there. I simply plan to have a strategy to neutralize those beings if they turn against the school and become a threat."

Weems could sense Wednesday was still hiding something, but she decided to let it go for now.

Weems sensed that Wednesday was withholding something, but for now, she chose to let it slide.

"Leave that to me. Just like Hydes aren't allowed in Nevermore, other dangerous entities won't be tolerated either. You don't have to worry about that."

"That went so well last year, didn't it?" Wednesday remarked wryly.

Weems arched an eyebrow at Wednesday's remark.

"Well, we learn from our experiences, don't we?" she replied, her gaze fixed on Wednesday.

Wednesday's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Indeed, we do. But sometimes, lessons come at a cost. I'd rather not repeat mistakes if I can help it."

Weems sighed, "I know that even if I were to refuse, you'd likely find a more troublesome way to obtain the information. Fine, I'll give you a note with the names and their respective abilities. But I must emphasize, not a single soul can know that you're privy to this information. None of their powers should be revealed to anyone."

Wednesday's eyes glinted with satisfaction. "Your discretion will not be in vain, Principal Weems. The school's secrets are safe with me."

Weems nodded a mixture of concern and resignation in her expression.

Handing her the note Weems couldn't help but warn her one last time, "Just be cautious, Wednesday. One single mistake can change a person's entire life."

Wednesday glanced back at Weems, her expression unreadable. "I don't make mistakes. I make choices, and I live with the consequences." with that Wednesday left the room.

Weems sat back in her chair sighing

"Sometimes, the consequences we face end up becoming our burden."

As soon as Wednesday entered her room with all the information she had collected, she set up her investigation board. And her work began.

First, she compiled a list of the new students, their names, and the abilities that Principal Weems provided. Wednesday's sharp eyes scanned the list, and her mind started to weave a tapestry of connections and possibilities.

Wednesday stared at the board, her mind calculating and analyzing the information at hand. The main suspects were four shapeshifting individuals -their names written boldly at the top of the board. Wednesday spared a moment to reflect on each of them, her memory retracing their movements and interactions during the dance.

Darcy Emerson

A recent addition to Nevermore Academy, she possesses an aura of detachment. Her ability, to blend in seamlessly with her surroundings, not only people but objects as well. Rumours circulate about her often observing others from a distance, she rarely engages in social activities.

Past Unknown.

Elara Heraofta

A solitary figure with a mysterious past, She is also known for her quiet demeanour and preference for solitude. Whispers of her ability to change forms and disappear into the shadows have added an air of intrigue to her presence. Must invesitgate further.

Adrian Blackthorn

A transfer student known for his charm. His origins remain shrouded in mystery, but he is known not only because he could shapeshift, but he could also read minds, and talk about being peculiar. Less of a suspect and more of a spoiled child in Wednesday's eyes.

Nathan Reed.

The mysterious boy who accompanied you last night. Wednesday's eyes narrowed as she recalled the intensity of his gaze and the discomfort that lingered beneath his facade. The thought that he might have infiltrated your life fueled her determination.

Wednesday's emotions usually locked away in the depths of her stoic exterior, surfaced like ripples on a pond. She couldn't deny the twinge of jealousy that clawed at her insides. The thought of someone else connecting with you unsettled her. It was a feeling she couldn't easily dismiss, a revelation of a vulnerability she wasn't ready to accept yet. How did you manage to breach her mind? The answer seemed to lie in a single song.

youtube

The loud cheers, the pulsating beats of the music reverberating in Wednesday's ears. She stood in the midst of the energetic crowd, her monotone expression a stark contrast to the animated faces surrounding her. Enid, her ever-enthusiastic friend, was immersed in the concert, leaving Wednesday contemplating her decision to attend.

Enid turned to Wednesday, excitement radiating from her,

"Wednesday, our school's band is about to perform! We have to stay and support them!"

Wednesday sighed, her disinterest in concerts evident, but the insistence of her friend prevailed. As Enid focused on the stage, Wednesday discreetly scanned the surroundings, seeking an escape route from the overwhelming spectacle. Just as she contemplated slipping away unnoticed, the lights dimmed, and a haunting red glow enveloped the stage.

A hush fell over the crowd as the ethereal voice of the mysterious performer echoed through the speakers.

"We lost everything" There was something about the voice, something enchanting, attracting that made Wednesday turn and look at the source.

You stood there with a guitar in your hands,

"We had to pay the price" you sang, your voice wrapping around the lyrics like a haunting lament.

I saw in you what life was missing

You lit a flame that consumed my hate

I'm not one for reminiscing but

I'd trade it all for your sweet embrace

There was a magnetic quality to your performance that held Wednesday in a trance, and she found herself unable to look away.

Cause we lost everything

We had to pay the price

The disinterest she had initially felt toward the concert melted away, replaced by a growing fascination with the enigmatic figure before her.

There's a canvas with two faces

Of fallen angels who loved and lost

It was a passion for the ages

And in the end guess we paid the cost

As the lyrics continued to unfold, Wednesday's dark eyes remained locked on you. The way you expressed the pain and sacrifice in your voice struck a chord within her, resonating with the shadows that lingered in the recesses of her own soul.

Enid, still caught up in the excitement of the concert, elbowed Wednesday and exclaimed, "Isn't this amazing?"

So entranced by the captivating cadence of your voice, she wasn't even aware of the subtle nod escaping her. As the song reached its pinnacle, the intensity climaxed, and at that precise moment, your eyes locked with hers.

A thing of beauty, I know

Will never fade away

What you did to me, I know

Said what you had to say

But a thing of beauty

Wednesday knew you were looking directly at her, The connection felt electric as if the universe had conspired to create a moment suspended in time.

Will never fade away

And that's how Wednesday first fell for you.

But she couldn't reflect on her memories as Enid came rushing into the room

"Wednesday..." Enid gasped for breath, her eyes wide with shock and terror.

Concern etched across her face, Wednesday inquired, "What happened, Enid?" Her tone laced with worry and anticipation.

Enid took a deep breath, attempting to steady herself. "A student... in the jungle, it's... it's beyond terrible." Next Chapter

taivan week daily themes

we hear the wilderness, and it hears taivan shippers...

daily themes for taivan week 2023 have officially been chosen!!!

detailed descriptions of each daily theme are provided below for inspiration:

Monday, November 6th

first kiss

Get your headcanons ready because the first day of taivan week is all about a pivotal taivan moment we haven’t seen in canon yet - our favorite couple’s first kiss.

Tuesday, November 7th

top surgery Van

Top Surgery Van Tuesday is the perfect day to share your taivan fanworks that include an exploration of Van’s gender identity.

Wednesday, November 8th

the wolf attack

Wolf Attack Wednesday fanworks center around the pivotal (and heart wrenching) season one taivan moment in “No Compass” and its aftermath.

Thursday, November 9th

college setting

Collegiate Thursday is for sharing any taivan fanworks set in a college environment. Will you create fanwork set in the canon universe about their time in college post-rescue, or will you take the college AU approach? This prompt is truly a one question exam with no wrong answer.

Friday, November 10th

pre-crash

Ah yes, young love - Sorry Liv, I mean two teammates who hookup and don’t talk about it (even when they really should)… Whatever your pre-crash taivan headcanons are, this is the perfect day to share them through fanworks.

Saturday, November 11th

adult timeline

What’s not to love about canon soulmates reunited after decades with a heavy side of angst? Today’s the day to delve into adult taivan’s dynamic through fanwork.

Sunday, November 12th

wild card

You draw from the deck of cards. Everyone holds their breath for a moment before you turn it over to reveal....a wildcard! Not only are you safe from the hunt, but today, you’re free to follow the wilderness (or, in Taissa’s case, the man with no eyes) wherever you want! You've been left alone in the cabin to share whatever taivan fanworks didn't fall within one of the daily themes.

thank you so much to everyone who gave theme suggestions and voted throughout this process! it truly makes me so happy to see so much collaboration leading up to this week, and I can't wait to see what everyone creates!

also, a huge thank you to @transpidergwen for helping me come up with the description for wild card day!

WcWd: my Halloween pfp that I didn't bother using this year

Hope everybody enjoyed their Halloween! I didn't really do anything this year... Ah well. Back when this was made in... What, 2021? I drew some other OCs in different attire and pasted them all onto the same canvas, which can be seen below...

(did that work? I've never used this feature before)

Just to clarify, the penguin horrifying spooky ghost is only here so this second drawing (trio of drawings?) would pass as a crowd and I could name the picture "Costume Party". Anyway, on the left you have this purple hairball thing with cursed semi-rubberhose limbs that used to be one of my favorite OCs, but now I mildly cringe at. I was pretty proud of the blanket-hood-thing I drew over it, but... eh not so much nowadays. Usually he's only wearing those gloves and some pretty boring brown shoes so yes, I considered that a costume lol

On the right is Jammy! Hilariously, he was much shorter a couple years ago... Come to think of it this is a really weird image to look at because I don't think any of them are their accurate sizes... Jurween would definitely be smaller. Anyway, Jay was an absolute shortcake and for some reason is dressed as though he's ready to enter a gun fight or something? This isn't a Halloween costume either, so much as it is a regular costume. At the time I wasn't really sure about him wearing pyjamas literally everywhere he went, so I was tinkering with other outfits and decided he would absolutely stand out in terms of fashion. Tbh I think it'd be easier to justify wearing pyjamas in public than a helmet and, what is that, a tactical vest? Not to dunk on my past self, he was pretty creative I guess

#did y'all notice that these are all pixel art?#pixel art #just checked and the tall purple thing fits into a 306x365 canvas #that's freaking massive for pixel “sprites”#for comparison the entire screen of an NES game is 256x240 pixels #bro wouldn't be able to run on NES hardware 💀#character art #character design #original character #frog oc #halloween #halloween costumes #Wildcard Wednesdays

WIP Character Introduction: Secundus Two

Happy WIP Wednesday y'all. Today I decided to go back to the character well for a spell. Today's character is one that is only introduced in the epilog of The Clockwork Boy, but considering how important I'm planning to make her later, I do believe it's time to share some fun facts about the second Clockman to be converted and the wild world of terrible ideas that happened to her.

Secundus Two is the Clockman that looks the part the least. Unlike her brethren, she keeps her blonde hair long, although it tends to get messy as she doesn't spend much time caring for it. Her clockwork body frame is also highly unusual. Thin and spindly in places, parts of her arms and legs bulge into drumlike cylinders at seemingly random intervals. Although it's not visible when she stands still, it doesn't take much movement for her to display her extra-flexible joints, which allows her to move in ways that are unusual or even uncanny for the average observer, and Two loves to indulge in this unnerving.

The work on Two started as soon as Creator learned the full possible extent of the degeneration of his fine motor skills. As such, he built Two more to be a servant and assistant to him, even including an ambitious but highly untested series of modifications that'd allow Two to expand her clockwork body and function as a mechanical exoskeleton to steady Creator's hands in the face of his worsening health. It did not take many dry runs to discover that it was difficult, bordering on impossible for Two to control these modifications properly, as there was no analog body control function she could map the new function to. Unfortunately for both Creator and Two, Creator both was and is a relentless taskmaster who brokes no challenge to his authority, and he resolved to make Two master these functions or break her in two trying.

At one point, Two broke, but not in the way Creator expected, or noticed right away. By the time she broke the arm of an assistant in Creator's workshop and the terrified journeyman told Creator his case wasn't the first, Creator started to realize his approach might have had unintended side effects.

Outwardly, Two seemed as normal as was expected of someone in her position, although signs of fracture were starting to show, odd perspectives, unusual requests, the odd spell of amplified emotion usually grief or rage. Creator soon abandoned the thought of bending Two to his will, although he could not find it in his heart to have her terminated like earlier failed experiments, whether this was part of some grander plan or merely a rare instance of soft-heartedness from the old man remains to be seen.

As such, Two exists as a kind of an organization of her own within the Clockmen. She technically responds to the authority of Creator, but her interpretation of her orders is often technically compliant but going against the spirit of the command. As such, Creator seldom trusts her with anything more prone to reinterpretation than relaying orders to her brethren. Two doesn't seem to mind, and it has in recent years had Creator thinking that she is playing some sort of long game on him.

Unlike One, Two never found comfort with her new numerical moniker, and eventually resolved to be called Secundus or Secundus Two. Given her strange position in the hierarchy of the Clockmen, her fellow Clockmen usually respects this decision. While Creator does emphatically not, he does not trust his position relative to his underlings to force the issue of her name with them.

Secundus Two is a bit of a wildcard in the story. Her role is initially as part sounding board for Creator, part unnerving court jester, but I plan for her to be more of a Greek chorus as the series develops, and as for her role in the finale, well, let's just say without spoiling she is highly relevant to both the circumstances and resolution of the climax.

If I'm going to be honest here, and I generally try to be, Secundus Two is probably the character in the plot I am the weariest of screwing up the writing of. Just the high concept of her mind being in tatters after being forced to try operating a body too alien for her brain to handle feels interesting and inspired by my own issues with dyspraxia, but also has the potential of getting kind of unsavory in what it says about humans and brains somehow, but I could not tell you exactly what angle I expect this problem to come from. If I could formulate exactly what about this bit that bothered me it'd perhaps be easier to avoid

It's also important for me to stick the landing with Two because she is slated to be, as mentioned earlier, very important for the conclusion of this whole tale. Her role as Independent on Account Of Being Too Weird To Subjugate is an interesting wrinkle to the strict authoritarianism of The Clockmen, and I intend to make the most out of it to get the endgame cooking, as well as a vector for commentary.

As for music inspiration, I do get a kind of She's A Big Boy energy from Secundus, and perhaps a touch of A Stranger I Remain from the Revengance soundtrack, as well as Narashite by Haru Nemuri and Carbon Dioxide by Fever Ray. Skunk by Thundersmack doesn't mirror her quite as perfectly, but the chaos of it certainly represents her just fine. The vibes for these tracks are all over the place, but that's just kind of how Secundus Two is.
