#I'm sure that'll be fine

[muffinlance]

Some spirit manages to get the gaang and zuko a link that connects their minds. They can share thoughts and their past with each other.

Tweaking this to “and they share dreams” because that’s how I started writing it.

---

“Okay,” Sokka says, wrapping his sleeping bag around himself, and grabbing a comfort Momo, too. “Whose dream was that?”

No one ‘fesses up. But it was kind of a rude question, and also a little rhetorical, anyway.

They all have nightmares with fire.

Having the Fire Lord himself looming over them, while they were on their knees? Not exactly a stretch.

---

“Okay,” Sokka says, “how does Prince Jerkface keep finding us?”

---

“Okay,” Sokka says, “how did he know that seal jerky seasoned just right with honey—not too much, just enough to add a sparkle of sweetness to the depths of savoriness, a perfect balance for the distinguished tongue to relish—was the perfect bait for his Sokka and Sokka-affliated-parties trap?”

“Maybe if you stop dreaming about it, Sokka,” Katara snaps.

...And they all stop.

---

“I’m going to think really really hard about being friends,” Aang says.

“I’m going to think really really hard about that time my boomerang hit him,” says Sokka.

---

Snatching the boomerang out of midair? Impressive.

Ignoring the Avatar to go hit Sokka with it? Repeatedly? Uncalled for.

---

“Sokka. The city is under attack. Right now.”

“Okay,” Sokka says. “But this is a strategic nap, Katara. We need to know what evil things our Evil Other is up to.”

It’s not like the evil fleet part was a surprise, at least. They’ve been dreaming of it for weeks.

---

“Okay,” Sokka says, looking down. “So the ship-blowing-up-thing. Not a nightmare?”

“No,” says Zuko, glaring up with his glare-face all glare-ful but his thoughts mostly full of bruises so deep they’re making Sokka’s ribs ache, and also his legs are going numb.

“Going to get out of the turtle-seal tunnel now?” Sokka asks, still standing over the opening. With his boomerang.

“...No,” the Prince of the Fire Nation says, as he clings onto the edge of the hole, his legs still very much in freezing water.

---

“Okay,” Sokka says, when they have a Fire Prince all tied up in Blankets of Imprisonment. “So. What actually was your plan here? Do not,” he interrupts, before the teenage-shaped bloodhound-leech can do more than open his mouth, “say ‘capture the Avatar.’”

The prince closes his mouth. Glares. And kind of fuzzes at the edges, in the way all of them do when they’re about to fall asleep.

BOOMERANG, Sokka thinks, and Prince Largely Ineffective As An Enemy jerks back upright. His Momo hat chitters a complaint.

“Since we both know your answer is ‘I had no plan, Sokka, ‘plan’ starts with ‘p’ and there’s no ‘p’ in ‘Avatar’’, we’re going to play a game instead. It’s called ‘sleepy prince free association interrogation time.’”

“...What?”

“Battle plans,” Sokka says. “Attack. Fire Navy fleet. Ship numbers.”

Alas, “Fire Nation intelligence” is not something with which the prince’s brain is overly burdened.

“...Are you insulting me?”

“Are you proving my point?”

Elsewhere, Yue laughs in all their heads. Zuko flinches. The prince has a very marked reaction to the laughter of princesses.

---

“Okay,” says Sokka. “So that just happened.”

Commander Mutton Chops is groaning. Kind of flopping. Much like the bag he tried to fireball. Yue picks it up, and gently wrangles a fish back into water. Sokka is still not clear on what the fish-napping was about.

“It’s the Moon,” Aang says. “Or maybe the Ocean?”

Aang’s thoughts are full of a FACE STEALING EVIL CENTIPEDE MONSTER THAT IS JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE THIN VEIL OF REALITY and that is NOT helping Sokka think.

“Okay,” he says again. “So. At least we can all agree on one thing.”

This is a very diplomatic way of saying they all wanted to dropkick Zhao. But some of them wanted to do it more than others.

The prince of the Fire Nation is even paler than normal, and staring across the clearing at his uncle.

“I can explain,” the prince says, while he’s thinking, oh shit treason oh crap uncle wouldn’t hurt me thought that about father too

Sokka wordlessly plucks Momo from the edge of the pond, where he’s been swiping at the spirit-fish, and drops him on the prince’s head.

Everyone needs a comfort Momo, now and again.

---

“A raft, Zuko?” Sokka says. Outloud. Because it makes things louder when you say it and think it. “A raft?”

Aang is bouncing on his toes. “We should go get him.”

The Avatar is grinning. And thinking, really hard and deliberately, as behind them the Water Tribe ship finishes packing, We should capture the Fire Prince.

“Okay,” Sokka says, with a grin of his own.

Drawing Pav every day until he's playable: Day 181 (final)

Sooooo uh.... I thought for a while about what to do with this blog going forward, and to put it simply I just don't have the motivation or time to continue with it. Mostly the motivation part tbh, I'm sure I could keep truckin on if I really wanted to, but this blog was always a product of unadulterated hyperfixation for me, and I kinda realized that forcing myself to continue when I don't get any enjoyment out of it anymore isn't really gonna do anyone any good.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to reach the blog's ultimate goal (something something the journey is better than the destination idk), but I'm glad to see that people took on the role of making Pav playable before Miro even did. In a way he already IS playable, which is absolutely amazing!

Even though I'm not continuing this blog anymore, I had a lot of fun while I was here c: Thank you so much to everyone who gave me kind words and who sent asks, I'm sorry I wasn't able to get to all them!

I wish the absolute best to @dailyhenryk for continuing the ritual of daily funger npc blogs, y'all got this!!

If you're looking for more daily content of Pav, I'd highly recommend giving @pavdaily a follow if you haven't already, I seriously love that blog so much.

Ok ok rant over, take care everyone!! <3

V - Atrum Vatis

>song

my warlock for our second game of anima: beyond fantasy. his objective most of the campaign was not getting killed by the inquisition before inventing a way to return the body he was in to the kid he was accidentally possessing. also maybe find out why he woke up in the wrong millennium. he finally succeeded at the first thing by stealing the body of one of the party's enemies instead

then he immediately had to give up the chance to find out why this even happened to him to rush to try to avoid the apocalypse the party had been dodging doing anything about for 50% of the game. due to having to confront all the mid bosses at once at the final fight we failed quite completely; half the party died and now the world is gone to shit. he's now an npc who wanders about, doing mysterious things, while we play the next generation of characters in a sequel campaign. i don't even know if he still has the same face

unofficially, i also keep isekai-ing him into other universes, which is why he's got a couple extra, smaller portraits :)

previously depicted here, here, here, and very small in the 31 years series

Stefon: I just don't know what else I can do. I flirt with Seth all the time, we even took a trip together, and I think he likes me back, but we're still not together.

Anderson Cooper: Listen to me. Fake wedding.

Jump Up, Super Star!

Break Free (Lead the Way)

Lyrics below!

Jump Up, Super Star!

Here we go, off the rails Don't you know it's time to raise our sails? It's freedom like you never knew Don't need bags, or a pass Say the word, I'll be there in a flash You could say my hat is off to you Oh, we can zoom All the way to the moon From this great wide wacky world Jump with me, grab coins with me Oh, yeah! It's time to jump up in the air (Jump up in the air) Jump up, don't be scared (Jump up, don't be scared) Jump up and your cares will soar away And if the dark clouds start to swirl, (Dark clouds start to swirl) Don't fear, don't shed a tear, 'cause I'll be your 1UP girl So let's all jump up super high (Jump up super high) High up in the sky (High up in the sky) There's no power-up like dancing You know that you're my superstar (You're my superstar) No one else can take me this far I'm flipping the switch Get ready for this Oh, let's do the odyssey Odyssey, ya see! (×7) Odyssey, odyssey! Spin the wheel, take a chance Every journey starts a new romance A new world's calling out to you Take a turn, off the path Find a new addition to the cast You know that any captain needs a crew Take it in stride As you move side-to-side They're just different points of view Jump with me, grab coins with me Oh, yeah! Come on and jump up in the air (Jump up in the air) Jump without a care (Jump without a care) Jump up 'cause you know that I'll be there And if you find you're short on joy, (Find you're short on joy) Don't fret, just don't forget that You're still our 1UP boy So go on, straighten up your cap (Straighten up your cap) Let your toes begin to tap (Toes begin to tap) This rhythm is a power 'shroom Don't forget you're the superstar (You're the superstar) No one else could make it this far Put a comb through that 'stache Now you've got panache Oh, let's do the odyssey It's time to jump up in the air (Jump up in the air) Jump up, don't be scared (Jump up, don't be scared) Jump up and your cares will soar away And if the dark clouds start to swirl, (Dark clouds start to swirl) Don't fear, don't shed a tear, 'cause I'll be your 1UP girl Now listen, all you boys and girls (All you boys and girls) All around the world (All around the world) Don't be afraid to get up and move You know that we're all superstars (We're all superstars) We're the ones who made it this far Put a smile on that face There's no time to waste So, let's do the odyssey

Break Free (Lead the Way)

Smash through the blocks that bar your way No time for fear just let it all fall away (all fall away) Nobody believes in me and you, just look at the way they stare So what if we live in a walled garden, as long as I've got you then I don't care Kick off the wall and take the plunge Tripping through two dimensions Up on the moon we'll twirl and swoon Just lead the way (and I'll follow you) I'll throw my hat in the ring, 'cause you're the one A miracle in three dimensions Follow the brick path straight to my heart And we'll grab the flag together the fireworks are gonna start Shake off the chains, you're running free You'll be amazed at all that there is to see (there is to see) Together we're racing for the goal, and no one can stop us now Maybe we don't know where we're going, but we're gonna get there somehow Climb up the vine and land in the clouds Maybe then we'll swap up for down 'cross the sea we're still you and me I'll follow you (just lead the way) You've got me over the moon, and that's no jest We're miles above the rest Look in your eyes and I know we'll be fine So let's shoot for the stars and make this love really shine Nobody believes in me and you, just look at the way they stare So what if we live in a walled garden, as long as I've got you then I don't care Kick off the wall and take the plunge Tripping through two dimensions Up on the moon we'll twirl and swoon Just lead the way (and I'll follow you) I'll throw my hat in the ring, 'cause you're the one A miracle in three dimensions Follow the brick path straight to my heart And we'll grab the flag together the fireworks are gonna start

[microwavetoaster-selfships]

Me when I don't know what to do with the character but I don't wanna just draw another profile shot so I put them in The Void.

Ignore how Strangeglove's is like 10x more chicken-scratched than Tenna's I. Don't know what happened there. I'd actually been wanting to post this art piece of Stranglove for a long while now(along with another one) but for whatever reason kept talking myself out of it even if I actually really really like it! I'm. Still feeling out how I draw Tenna since it's been such a minimal amount of time of me drawing him but..yeah. when in doubt! Blast them into The Void. The "This Could Be A Magazine Cover Perhaps."

Sorry I got so upset over how different they looked that I re-outlined Strangeglove's and also added pretty highlights. I mean I only put highlights on Tenna cause hos suit is shiny but whatever. Shiny stars be upon ye. I totally know how to highlight things andddd wwhHOOPPSSSS SORRRYYY Fishlips I. Forgot to erase the circle on you uhm. He'll. He'll be fine. Anyway original Strangeglove drawing below the cut. It's really not that different. I'm just sticking it below the cut so I don't like. Clog this with pictures somehow. I also didn't remove the chicken scratch note I wrote uhm. It's fine we're fine. I'll be here all night if I keep going "Ooh! Actually I want to. Change that."

I will be attending a film festival this week that specializes in independent and underground films! these are the feature length events !

and the shorts!

It starts tonight and it should be a great time!

[monster-noises]

There needs to be more events where wearing pants, a sick jacket, and no top is acceptable attire... The world is really missing out.

He/him

[dualitysdownfall]

bluh. writing motivation gone. drawing motivation dwindling. motivated to work on an audio thing but i have to pace myself so as not to strain my voice, so not doing that tonight. generally been pretty low energy, there's only one game i'm about half interested in playing and one music thing i'm interested in listening to.

fellas i think the brain is having the sads.

[moinsbienquekaworu]

Everyone tell me how cool I am and how good of a job I did please and thank you I want to wake up to nice messages. I'm so so brave I feel like I just had an insane day and I need external validation

[angeart]

You are in fact good at teasing xD you know I wanna ask but I know you were working on rambles before you got sick and I see those hmtb posts too -🎀

yeah i had to get into a fist fight with google doc over hmtb. it said this was enough angst and tried to stop me.

can't believe i have two unfinished hhau rambles going on and yet i'm teasing a third. but you can't blame me!! the au is too fun.

on the topic of teasing, this is currently sitting in the wip of mimic arc aftermath rambles:

Whenever his feelings slip and spiral a bit too much, he keeps begging Scar to stay. He pleads for him to not leave him again, in a choked, broken, terrified voice. 

He tells Scar he won't be able to take it the second time. He won't, he won’t.

I just freaking realized I'm almost done with my associate's degree and I'm like freaking out

[running-in-the-dark]

my MRI appointment is tomorrow and I'm getting really nervous about it now 😔

[afkintheark]

The meteor storms are gorgeous but terrifying.

Today started out frustrating but ended on a good note. Base building was going very slowly while Kel went on a fruitless argy search. We finally called it quits on both and went after some gatherers.

Found a 125 mammoth just outside the snow dome, we killed off a couple nasties and got her separated from her group without too much trouble and got her knocked out. I stayed to watch her while Kel kept looking for argies, then we had An Incident where her ptero ran out of stam right in the middle of a corrupted area. The mammoth had just tamed at that point so I ran to help, though all I could do was whistle the ptero out of there when Kel got booted off and killed. I managed to draw the bad stuff away, then got her ptero back to base so we could get her stuff back.

Went poking in the desert dome after that and found a bunch of baby-ish doedics, we settled on a 75 and got her tamed. And while we waited, some stegos were nice enough to kill a couple carnos so we could claim a level 85 baby, so once he's grown and leveled some we'll have a nice fighter. \o/

Also found a few sheep with babies, so we have a mutton stockpile and can save our remaining kibble for the herbivores.

Base building will go much faster now, we had to log off for a mod update but we'll finish the build first thing tomorrow and then go look for argies again and some snow owls. \o/

[seeinganewlight]
