#Mini Break

A snipped that took over. @jm-chrome @youmaycallmeyourhighness

This is your doing, making the Ekko and Jinx poros way too cute.

The great cookie heist

Ekko had been eyeing the confectionery bakery for weeks. With its smells of butter and sugar, three tiered cake displays and sweet buns, and cotton candy cafe terrace, it was beyond enticing. The promise of so many treats luring him in. And then he'd seen it. The most wonderfully enchanting tasty looking cookie ever: The size of a plate, with gooey chocolate chips, wafts of vanilla, and cinnamon rising from it and it had electric blue popping candy sprinkled all over it. And when you broke a piece off, you could see it was the chewy sort.

It would be his. He decided with stars in his eyes. He'd be charming, puff himself up for an extra bit of fluff and roll around, and give wide sparkly eyes. And no human, yordle or other could say no to him. With careful consideration, he picked his target. The chirpy blond, with her hair in a bun, and far too frilly apron and a sucker for cute.

Confident in his choice, he sets about with his charm offence. What was it humans said? Oh yeah, rizz. The next day, he makes sure his orange scarf is just so, and he shuffles from under a table. Fluffs himself up a bit, trills happily, and for good measure offers a coin he'd found.

“Aww, aren't you adorable?” Yes! It's working!

“Would you like something, sweetpea?” Yes! He warbles as much. He dashes past the girl to the display and leans up by the cookie. The girl laughs, “Well, would you look at that, your coin’s half the cookie, and because you're such a cute poro, you get half off.”

Success! She comes back round the counter with his prize when a streak of blue, white, and a dash of pink pilfer the cookie out of the shop attendant's hand.

There's a pink paw print on the blond's forehead, who looks completely dazed. That paw! He knows who the culprit is. Turning to the high-pitched victorious warble, he sees her: Jinx.

Up on one of the parasols, with a smug look, she chirps, teasing him. There, between her horns is the giant cookie. She sticks her tongue out and wiggles getting ready to jump, daring him to catch her.

He glares at her with a growl and a wiggle of his own. He jumps to the parasol, and she hops right over him to a table and down to the ground and runs.

No! That's his! With a dash, he takes off after her, racing through streets their speed ruffling skirts, tripping pedestrians, and knocking hats off heads he tries to snag his cookie back.

Then she dives between the legs of a vendor, under the narrow gap of his cart, and Ekko goes crashing into the wheel with a poof. He can hear the vendor above him fussing over him, picking him up, and patting him on the head. Mumbling sadly, he mourns the loss of his treat.

He's been placed down on one of the park benches and told to take it easy for a bit. Crestfallen, he does. Why his cookie? And worse, why her? He liked the pretty poro, with her downy fluff and blue streaks. Murmuring sadly, he hopes he gets another chance.

There's a nudge against him and a rueful warble. Turning, he sees Jinx looking regretful, wobbly, with big, watery eyes, the cookie still held between her horns. Her hiccuping chirps told him she only wanted to play. She drops the cookie next to him, looking away.

Ekko feels rather fuzzily warm at that. She wanted to do something together with him, not steal his cookie. He headbuts her softly and warbles. Next time, she should just ask to play. A pleased and questioning ‘murrrp’ is his answer.

He licks her then and gestures the cookie, breaking it in half. He can barely push her half to her before he's tackled in a cuddle, nuzzling her face into his side.

He's feeling beyond chuffed while he bashfully grumbles something along the lines of “next time you get the cookie”. With that, he finally gets to chomp down on his hard earned treat.

An evening of fine cuisine.

mini break again

hopefully I won't be gone for more than a month but I just need to stay off the internet for a bit after the election results. I live in Texas, United States and with who's been voted for governor and president...it's a terrifying and stressful situation for me and my family.

Im afab + lgbtq and come from a family of immigrants and though all my family have US citizenship, it's known that we are not safe now that we have THAT man in office.

I'm just praying for some kind of miracle, honestly.

Again, I just to de-stress and not fall into a negative rabbithole of anxiety so I can go back to writing my DP x DC fics, hopefully i won't be gone for too long.

(Also, sorry for leaving you guys on a cliffhanger)9

Apologies!

Sorry for lack of updates. Finally got a small vacation from work and spending some time with my family. Will try to update in a few days. Thank you

Hi! If you're reading this, I got a little behind on making pages.

In the meantime, please enjoy some kind-of concept art for Fortune's Favor, including the first art of Carlin, waaaaay back when the ship was still just something vague in my DnD character's backstory. Under the cut is me attempting to explain how I got so behind.

Due to circumstances all aligning, I'm currently working two dayjobs, as well as attempting to prep for my first con. This is all coming to a head in mid-june, where I leave one job, immediately work at the con, and still go home to do my night shift work between con days.

I hope it's understandable why I burned through my backlog of pages.

I'm sorry for the delay, and will hopefully be able to resume new pages soon. I will still be posting art and splash pages on Mondays until I'm properly back on schedule.

Going out with my boyfriend tonight so I won’t be around to annoy you lovelies 🤭 unless I get drunk and he falls asleep early 🤣 then I’ll probably post dumb Bi-Han stuff lol I feel like I haven’t done headcanons for him in a while and I’d like to. I have two headcanon requests involving him that I will write probably Thursday. I love writing about him and talking about him in general, I just love him so much, I also love people who love him too! Ok, heading out, sending you all love 💙

How to spend a day in Darmstadt

Spend a day in Darmstadt, a hidden gem in the Hesse region in Germany #travel #explore #Deutschland

The German cultural gem you’ve probably never heard of Darmstadt is a medieval town that is now home to heavy industry and punctuated by a number of art nouveau buildings. It is located in central-west Germany about 20km from Frankfurt. Like Frankfurt, it is home to a number of major German companies and tends to attract business travellers more than tourists. With this in mind, you are unlikely…

Spent a ridiculous amount of time last night obsessively editing my hand written zines in Photoshop to take away any tiny blemishes so they were definitely readable.

Whatever. Understand or don't.

[foxymacchiato]

I'm gonna give myself a little break from social media for the next few days until the election results are up. I just know whatever happens is going to be crazy and I'm gonna be honest I'm so scared. I hate the waiting part of this.

Please please please remember to VOTE! Your voice matters even if you don't think it will make a difference, it will.

Tram Adventures in Lisbon

When looking at photos of Lisbon, it won’t take long to see a picture of their iconic trams. Having commuted by train for years to Central London, it’s pretty safe to say getting excited about public transport is a rarity for me. So when I say riding one of Lisbon’s iconic trams was non-negotiable, it is pretty clear it was a big deal for me. Unfortunately, not all my friends didn’t see the…

i personally didn't interpret logan's "you had a girlfriend?" as him thinking wade was gay, but as being shocked that a woman would put up with him. however, i think that just makes it funnier that he himself ends up as wade's boyfriend. joke's on you, bub.
