“Look, Pippa, I appreciate this very much but I think it’s a lost cause.” Lyra looked up with an affectionate, if a bit concerned smile, at Pippa who was struggling to get good footing up the tree.

“Hey I've already made it this far and I'm not giving up.” She said as she hoisted herself up to the next branch.

“See? Not so hard!” Pippa said, gasping for breath as she reached for another branch. “Be careful!” Lyra was beginning to lose sight of her through the branches and leaves.

For a tense few minutes Lyra waited, half expecting Pippa to fall out of the tree any minute.

“Pippa?” Lyra made their around the tree, trying to see some sign of her and not seeing anything.

They scouted to base of the tree for another few minutes, holding the handle of his cane so tight his knuckles were turning white.

“Pippa, I swear to whatever God is listening, if you get hurt trying get some stupid-“

There was a crack followed by a gasp and Pippa’s leg appeared through the thicket and a small branch came tumbling down.

“Damn it Pippa! Be careful!”

They were not in the mood to watch their best friend fall face first out of a tree he had made the mistake of mentioning was home to one if his favorite plants.

Pippa’a face appeared next out of the top of the tree, grinning like a madman, a bright purple flower held between her teeth,and  jumped from a branch just high enough to make Lyra uneasy.

“For you, sir” Pippa said through wheezes and a smile as she held out the flower, “the last one I could find.”

Lyra took the flower, giving Pippa a peck on the cheek in return,

“Thank you.”

“Anything for you.”

Lyra had begun picking out the stray leaves and branches from Pippa’s hair

“Sap, But don't you go doing anything reckless again- you remember the last time you-“

“Yes yes yes,.”

“I love you but Id rather not have another heart attack over your antics again.” they teased, detangling a burr from her coils. 

“Love you too” Pippa’s smile just about made their near panic attack worth it.

The sun was setting as they made their way back to the parish. With their free hand holding Pippa’s and their favorite flower sitting delicately in their breast pocket, Lyra was sure no greater happiness could exist.

Okay.

I think we both need a break from each other, anyway.

I'm...

Being too much, I think.

Too controlling.

I'm sorry.

I'll-... Go.

Yeah.

Bye.

[the god says absolutely nothing as you slip back into some part of the void, ending up who knows where. Reality doesn't know, an it doesn't care. But it feels some of the overwhelming emotion drain, still annoying flecks, still prominent annoying flecks, but easier to let fall into the rest of the emotions it had long compartmentalized as not it's own.

The one almost sad thing is that the lesser emotions means it can't even feel much relief at your departure. Still, numb is better then overwhelmed by it all, in their "mind" at least.]

Invincible Viltrumite Swap Idea!

WARNING: COMIC SPOILERS AHEAD. DO NOT PASS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED BUT HERE WE GO. Under the cut for more information for those intrepid adventurers.

Okay okay, so I just finished the comic and watched the entire series so far and I got this idea. So I decided to run with it. Basically the idea is that Nolan and Thragg switch roles.

Meaning that, for the Viltrumite Infiltrator, Thragg is the one who goes and Nolan, without knowing he's royal, runs the Viltrumite Empire. (Mark still exists as Nolan's surviving son from the Scourge Virus.)

So, Thragg goes to Earth. His mission is to lie low and prepare the planet for Viltrumite rule. He's very dedicated to this idea of being undercover, taking the name Thomas and adopting the Omni-Man persona.

But not before meeting his future wife, Reyna. Reyna is a hero, based off Big Barda from DC, a former villain turned heroine that pretty much saw Thragg and got interested in him.

She's a very fiery, headstrong woman who whacked Thragg into a wall once in an argument. He didn't strike her but he DID think of her as... fascinating.

Thragg, for all intents and purposes, thinks it wise to get close to Reyna to learn more about the culture, learning of surnames from a comic book of all things and taking the name Blake. So his name is Thomas Blake, and Reyna becomes Reyna Blake.

Thragg also begins to feel genuine love for his wife, always getting her the best, because he's the best and his lover deserves the best because she EARNED his respect and affection.

Also, she's his way into the hero business. Being strong, fast, able to fly? He can do a lot that three different guys can do individually. Soon enough into their careers together...

Their bond gives them a son.

Jason.

Jason is more like Reyna. Fiery, headstrong, but with that calculating, ruthless edge that Thragg has. If it's dulled or sharpened remains to be seen. But once Thragg saw him...

The poison began seeping in. The emotions, the feelings of seeing his son progress, and grow, and be happy. It broke the walls down in Thragg, he felt like the mission was far away.

Until his wife got horribly, horribly sick. Having lived through the Scourge Virus, Thragg had felt true fear for the very, very first time. It was a buildup of the chemicals that made Reyna so tough that did her in, but one order changed his mission entirely.

"Tom... please..."

"Reyna. Do not speak. You are dying."

"Yeah... I noticed..."

She looks at little Jason sound asleep. He's five by the time Reyna dies and she looks at Thragg and goes...

"Promise me you'll love him. Promise me you'll protect him. Swear to me, Thomas. Swear on your life."

"I swear that Jason will be loved. And protected. I swear on my life, on my honor... on my legacy." he looks at Jason and picks him up.

"Thomas...?"

He passes his son to her, and holds her as she passes. And that is what changed Thragg. Even though the programming is still in there, the promise and Reyna's love, as well as Jason changed him.

So now Thragg and Jason are the only ones left of the Blake family. And the rest of the series is open for changes. What do you all think? I think I also have my askbox open for questions, too! So I'd love to talk about this AU!

Also unfortunately I am NOT artistically inclined, but I am writingly inclined. So there's that, feel free to ask me questions or shoot comments my way and I'll do my best to answer!

all of the pokemon dlc is hastily and poorly cobbled together bullshit, but i will admit, after clearly initiating a nasty paradox, it was actually a great decision to immediately throw you back to the title screen and have you warped back to your dorm room. Sometimes things can be both code-writingly lazy and narratively effective.

[screentimeoverlord]

Like who? Stolas, Vassago, Andrealphus? Stella, Octavia??

Well I'm not gonna go and pick Stella, there's more than enough good Stellas out there. You know who you are, and our muses should kiss.

I don't think I wanna touch Octavia though, writingly speaking.

Now there's already a good Andrealphus out here so why would I try contest number 1, huh?

Now between Stolas and Vassago, I might be game for them. Since there's no way I can get icons or something for an oc. Though I should be buying a tablet to draw on later. I would wait to see how Vassago is, but we'll see.

my b, i did not read bluebird (chapter one), i read its prologue. may need to take a breather before i read it but again, ur writingly === hauntingly beautiful like its full of these gorgeous emotions and anguish just loitering the background.

HELP "anguish just loitering in the background" is the funniest fucking description of my writing ever but it's exactly what Im aiming for godbless. I will keep this feedback close to my heart always

[masterboa]

just saw someone get essay-writingly angry at someone for referring to the act of calling someone a slur as "rude"

[belethlegwen]

God I need to watch this movie again

THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY

[erinsharing]

Vagrants of the Vortex episode 1

This is the first episode in a (hopefully) ongoing story of two time lords now both in their 2nd incarnations bc I don't like writing origin stories

I'm still a bit worried about pacing and a lot of other writingly details so if you have any criticism please put it directly in my comments even if its really mean I wanna hear it :)

[firelxdykatara]

Sokka x Zuko

man yall are really out here tryna get me shanked in a denny's parkinglot huh kadlfhgkdjfhgkjh

OK. WELL. surprising no one, i do not like zukka.

i don't have a whole essay to whip out like i did for kataang, but that's because there's really nothing there lmao (insert -oooooh burn gif here-) like, not just in terms of shipping dynamic but in terms of the show itself. kataang gets me essay-writingly steamed because it was canon, and it was canon in the most obnoxious and poorly-written way, ruining both characters in the process. with zukka, though, it's just... yeah, they have a cool buddy dynamic, and that's it.

like, i enjoy their friendship and their interactions, but other than that there's nothing for me to really latch onto and build upon. it's no coincidence that a lot of what i see of popular zukka headcanons pull a lot from zuko and katara's dynamic (some of them really seem to go out of their way to give sokka all of katara's most notable traits and her dynamic and development with zuko to make zukka work), and at that point i'd just... rather be shipping zutara lol

especially when sukka and tokka are right there when i do want to focus on a ship built largely on fun banter and the interplay of a funnyman in a serious relationship.

send me a ship and get my (brutally) honest opinion!

17 (👫🍑🥦🥖🥓🌮🍭🍫🧃🛒😉😉😉😌✨) and 23, please?💛

17. fics you’ll continue next year

idk why but since like, august? i havent really been writing. and im sad about that. im trying to get back into tangerine (i see those emojis!!!) but any time i do i just feel pulled to a different wip (the swimming pool!AU). i think if i’ll manage to write anything at all it’ll probably be for that fic. but since it’s uhh drought season, writingly speaking, i have no idea if/when/how i’ll do any of that. i do wanna finish chlorine and the grocery store!AU tho, i just. am miserably not writing

23. fics you wanted to write but didn’t

honestly so many. or well i got stuck with all my active ideas. but i definitely wanted to write a multichapter fic (like warm water length) and i really didnt lol. i didnt do what i wanted to do this year. on many fronts

ty 💖💖 end of year fic qs?

[wanderestless]

it is extremely on-brand for historians to get book-writingly mad about a zine

[adamantseal]

i confess, anonymously, that i must ask you questioningly to write, writingly, about this anonymous confession itself - itselfingly - if you would, could, might or should. won't you? good.

This was fun :D Your poem is here.

[sushicatdead]

Oh yeah I did it. Yeah I did it. Six down writingly. Seven down plotingly. Now we have ♾ left, and we're done.

Not to mention that those that are done arent really done cause my little fake ocd says something is missing or not good or not how its supposed to be or or or or
