[somelazyassartist]

Had session 3 last night but since we're wrapping up the intro/tutorial levels I was really focused on writing notes and lore and didn't do as many doodles as I usually do, so no sketch dump right this minute (I'll do more later). However feel free to have the one drawing I DID do in my DnD notes.

Based on our "Breaking Bishop" and "Better Call S-Ao-l" joke AU we came up with for shits and giggles

[annemissingshoe]

Some fact about my wh aus

Psychic & Esper:

-Sally and Julie are platonic soulmates, they both know that minus the platonic part. Sally likes to tease Julie about this.

- Sally likes using nicknames for people.

-PAE! Wally is shorter than og Wally, everyone else in his neighborhood is taller than him.

-Wally can still be seen talking to the ghost by himself even tho he shouldn't. Other Neighbors are sometimes worried for him.

-Sally likes teasing her other friends too, but she knows when to stop and what she shouldn't do.

-Julie doesn't like leaving her au after a couple of things happen while she was gone. As she feels like it's going to happen again or something worse.

-Julie isn't as talkative and happy as her used to be, because of an accident that happened a while ago.

Concealed/Eclipse:

-The entity that's possessing the puppets and likes to play games with them unfortunately those games consist of them inconveniencing the puppet by going around causing problems. The entity isn't evil or anything, she doesn't understand what is wrong with some of the things they have done, they are still learning that their actions have consequences weather they're the ones who have to deal with it or not.

-The entity has trouble seeing when they are possessing people but if they were to let whoever she possessing be in control then they would be able to see better to a certain extent not perfectly

-The entity likes possessing Sally the most because she is a star and gives off heat, so yeah the entity likes Sally because she is literally hot. Very cat coded.

-Concealed Julie isn't the only Julie the entity personally knows, well at least early on in the story. Her, we don't talk about her..

-The entity really likes Cotton Candy and Poppy because she is very soft, Poppy is a mother figure to the entity.

-The entity gets along with Wally and Poppy the most as it relates to Wally's struggles and understands him more than she understands the others, Poppy is very patient with them.

-The entity is more of a shadow person than something like a puppet. it also has paws and the toe pads work like heat pads.

-The entity has eaten toothpaste before, and also made Wally try it too.

-Eclipsed!Sally definitely does not stay put in their au and likes interacting with the multiverse

-Concealed!Sally has two forms

Altered Timeline

-Beta Julie wanted to get rid of Current Julie but she later grew to care about her to the point where she couldn't go through with her og plans and hurt her, Current Julie is like a sister to her now

-Beta!Poppy does find out about Beta!Julie's plans, and tries to convince her not to go through with it

Raison d'etre au

-Lacuna!Julie didn't immediately know if Poppy was alive but she did know there was a small chance that she survived, "the if you can't find the body that means they're still alive type of thing" and guess what she was right. Poppy manages to survive the whole thing and get away from there too.

-Poppy wouldn't like going back to their au; and honestly who can blame her for that. I mean I doubt that I would ever want to go back to the place where my friends died either.

-Lacuna!Julie on the other hand regularly visits the "graves" where her friends lay and telling them about the day events, she understands that they're all gone but a part of her still believes that they can hear her. Lacuna makes sure the neighbourhood isn't too overgrown.

-Poppy has survivor's guilt because of what happened to the neighborhood.

-Lacuna!Julie wears a veil cover, as it makes her feel comfortable and safe

-Both PAE!Julie and Eclipsed!Sally would get along with Lacuna

-Lacuna Is friends with Cyberspace Traveller Wally (he belongs to vintage_ocean_water on Tiktok); she has some other friends too, like glitch!Barnaby. (He belongs to @chocolategothwolfhorse)

-there is a multiverse Jonesy and Bea that Lacuna hangs out with sometimes, they think of her like a sister

-Lacuna's au can move from it is and go somewhere else, Lacuna can also lock off her au from the multiverse too.

-Inferno doesn’t remember anything about his past, only everything that happened sometime after she met Sunny.

-There some other characters I still to talk about on

Ascended Sally

-Ascended Sally only comes out at night and usually stays in the woods.

-She also has toe pads that work like heat pads but her entire body is burning hot so you will burn if she touches you, so don't let her near you. stay where she can't see you.

-Sally rip off Julie's arm in the beginning

-The others are trying to find a way to help Sally.

I will make another post like this eventually

Dragonheart; Masterlist

Pairing: OT7 dragon!BTS x knightess!reader

Genre: dragon rider AU, high fantasy, soulmate adjacent, slight enemies to lovers (if you squint), angst, fluff and humour, eventual smut

Summary: The Gong-li Empire has been on the peak of its power for a little over a millenium, and there was a very simple reason for that - dragonkind. When the first emperor of the Li Dynasty struck a deal with a witch that would allow him to bind dragons to the crown and force them into obedience, it was the beginning of its reign of terror and the end of freedom for creatures as old as nature itself.

Now, a woman hoping to change everything enters the ranks of the elite dragon rider unit among the imperial army and meets seven men that not only change her life, but help her change the fate of the whole world.

Warnings and themes: unhealthy family dynamics, fighting against corruption and inequality, revolution, discussions and themes of slavery/sex slavery and forced bondings, violence, war, near death experiences, challenging relationship dynamics, angst, discussions of mortality and death, mating cycles (yes, i'm a slut, thank u), knotting (bc i said so), there will be mxm content, enough puns and jokes about riding to make you sick of me - each chapter will have it's individual warnings

Current word count: 62.7k

A/N: i've been really craving some good fantasy lately and i'm so in love with dragons, so of course i had to write something for our boys! for this setting, kind of imagine a fusion of asian and western fantasy, the same with clothing - it's going to be a mix of both together. also i'm doing whatever i want with the boys' hairstyles so it's different eras all mashed together, just based on what i liked the most

masterlist <

it had all started with one single note. Not a photo. Not a behind-the-scenes vlog. just a single post, black screen, white text,

“She’s here. Everyone’s okay. I’m tired, but so in love.”

he didn’t tag you, no baby name, No date, no emojis. Just the truth: simple and quiet.

People lost their minds.

there had already been a lot of rumors before, about you, about the relationship, the pregnancy. But he kept it all tucked away, private and sacred. Then he vanished from the internet for weeks, and suddenly, that one line became the earthquake that cracked everything open.

ARMYs swarmed.

#JKISAGIRLDAD??

#SHESHERE!!

#DILF????

#CONGRATULATIONSJUNGKOOK!!

Some fans were gentle, but most just weren’t. Twitter turned to fucking war. TikTok turned to theory. You stayed offline entirely. He barely took a single look at his phone. You were both just trying to keep Hana fed and held and breathing, trying to figure out how to sleep again, how to be again.

Itd only been the night before. You were both curled up in bed, hana asleep in her little bassinet beside you, the white noise machine humming in the background. He was scrolling through his camera roll with a sleepy smile, blurred photos of her curled fists, a shot of her socked feet next to his tattooed hands, a messy picture of the back of her tiny head in a red strawberry hat.

he turned the phone to you, testing. “This one?” he asked softly.

You nodded. “and maybe the bottle on the nightstand. And that one with your hoodie around her,” you added, reaching over to tap it.

“No face,” he promised.

It had taken weeks to feel ready. You’d talked about it over and over, what you were okay with, what made you nervous. Jungkook didn’t want to share her out of obligation. He wanted to post as a dad, not as an idol. And he wanted to do it together.

You were going to post it the next day.

But then, the next day, a photo. you hadn’t even seen it yet. Jungkook did first. He was on the couch, swaying Hana in her wrap, bottle in hand, phone lighting up his face, and then going cold.

He turned the screen to you silently. Blurry and distant but clear enouh.

jungkook was holding two coffees. A diaper bag slung over his shoulder. His shirt half-tucked. You were behind him, bending into the stroller, your hoodie too big and sunglasses half off your face. someone had taken it two days ago, outside a quiet café. Five minutes, a moment of peace you’d thought.Your heart fell out of your body.

“oh,” you whispered. He didn’t say a word. Just set the phone down, jaw clenched.

“Its okay,” you tried. “Its blurry, could be anyone.”

“They said her name,” he muttered. “In the replies.”

You froze.

“I haven’t even said her name yet. Not on camera. not online. I haven’t even posted her hand. And they’re—”

His voice cracked at the edges.

“It was the strawberry hat,” he said, almost laughing. “I thought it’d cover her. I thought—”

He didn’t finish the sentence. Didn’t need to. You reached for him. His shoulders were stiff, too still.

“She’s not ruined,” you whispered. “She’s just seen. There’s a difference.”

“She’s mine,” he said quietly. “She’s ours. That should’ve been our choice.”

He didn’t post for weeks after that.

But when he did, it was a video.

Thirty seconds, no faces, no music. Just soft afternoon light on your living room floor. Two feet—one big, one small. A single baby laugh. The edge of a familiar strawberry hat.

“This is my family. She is loved. She is protected. I hope you can be kind.”

and just like that, it began.

[amalthea-felsblood]

Marian ◦ "I couldn't ask for any greater gift than this."

Marian watches Edred and Amelia laugh and play, their faces alight with joy, her heart swells with pride and gratitude. This moment is a testament to everything she and Estinien have fought for all this time, their children's happiness, safety, and innocence in a world often fraught with danger.

[celevrian]

All her life Gilithren had felt as if she was torn between two people. A daughter of a Sindarin prince, an orphan lost in the wood, adopted by a pair of wanderers. She swift of tongue and mind, outpacing many, and difficult to put off balance. She had the pedigree of a princess, but had never felt like one.

On the other side, and tucked deep within her chest, was a soft soul. It loved and cared deeply, full of loyalty and gratitude. Though even that loyalty felt torn, for she was born Doriathrin. . . but had flowered in the tombs of broken kingdoms, beside the ghosts of Noldo and Sinda alike. She had learned respect for those who her heritage scorned, her fearful biases falling away as she'd grown. She had been tutored with kindness in Eriador, by Noldor masters who honed her skill with healing; and she had known, quite to her own surprise, the High King himself.

No, she had known Gil-Galad. For to her, he was no king in her eyes, but simply 'Gil'.

Once upon a time, she had spouted unkindness toward him, a childish anger with rapiers that she aimed with poisoned words to his heart. But her heart of ice had melted into respect, maturity turning her own heart to softness over time. She had become a faithful subject, she had become his friend, and he had become hers. It was for this, this loyalty that had bent her knee to serve him, that she had engaged herself to the Greenwood, seeking to aid his strained alliance through gaining the ear of its prince. Thranduil was fond of her, and she believed it was possible to turn him, and through him the King.

She had wanted to be useful. Just this once. To use her Sindarin blood to help, not hinder. A princess of old Doriath, sister of Nimloth, daughter of Galathil---she was prized, and so she offered up her hand, and her life, for this. In service of Gil-Galad though he did not know it. He would never know, she hoped. It was not her way to boast. He had expressed his weariness at Oropher's allliance, and she would help him. She had never felt more like a Princess then. Her torn heart would be of use at last.

She had tried for nearly a year, for that was how long a betrothal was spent, and she had listened to the sharpened tools of Orophers tongue that spouted bitterness with patience. Only a year, only a a year. She would wait until Oropher could not get rid of her, she had come so close, a month til the wedding and the celebrations had begun----

But Oropher had dared to lay his words against Gil-Galad, knowing nothing of him, wanting to know nothing of him. Every Noldor was a Feanorian, a thief, a killer. His pride, his words, they echoed deeply and resonated, her own childish words playing back to her with anguish. Gilithren's torn heart pulsed in indignation, in defense. If Oropher was going to stay in the past, she did not want to be in his family. What a scene it was then, he ordered her away, she smirked and ( with an air that Uncle Celeborn had laughed about later ) had spouted that the engagement was hers to break. Poor Thranduil. A casualty she could not help.

She had looked like a princess, Celeborn had said. She felt like a failure.

Even now, stood before Gil-Galad, features schooled into neutrality, her heart felt laden like lead. She had tried to help him, and had only succeeded in causing detriment. Forestlike eyes betrayed her inner thoughts no matter how she hid them on her face. She had not wanted to burden him, after all, he did not know she had done this in an effort to help.

A wall crumbled, facade slipping free beneath his touch and his questioning. They had known each other too long for her to hide no matter her attempt. She followed him. Eyes fluttered closed, she leaned into his touch as the friend pulled to the surface, and when her gaze reopened, it was all written upon her face. Shame, guilt, sorrow, embarassment at her own stupid pride. As if she could change the mind of Oropher, the alliance had been holding on so tenuously.

"I am sorry to cause you more distress." she admitted with a sigh, shoulders rounding in defeat. "I imagine this will nothing good for your alliance with the Greenwood. I am sorry, Gil." her voice cracked. "I was only trying to help."

The card arrived before she ever did, and the bad feeling he'd been harbouring for the past months made itself known in a most insistent manner.

Had she been well, tucked away most of a continent away, far from the shores she so loved? 

Cards had arrived steadily through all these months, ones bearing better omens than others. A lone sword. A cupbearer. A king of gold and a queen of swords. Two embellished bats and a knight of cups. He kept in his drawers a stack as numerous as the one he'd sent away within the folds of his letters, but this last one —worn out golden edges that glinted in candlelight on top of the message it'd come attached to— had the High King wondering what had really happened.

A single heart on a field of azure, and a soul full of worry.

He had not anticipated, this High King that rarely paid any mind to his foolish heart, that these few months could stretch like centuries in his perception of things. He had not anticipated to miss laughter at his expense, the cheeky smile with which she delivered her most biting remarks, the nights spent playing cards by the fire while it rained outside, nor the emptiness of these halls without her presence.

Gil-galad lifted the brief note once more, reading again that the Lady Gilithren, as well as Lord Celeborn her guardian and representatives from the Greenwood would be arriving within the day, and allowed himself a brief expression of concern in the privacy of the antechamber. A broken alliance he knew he could deal with; a broken heart, he was not that sure.

And so, as the minutes stretched into hours and his mind wandered further than his feet within the throne room, the High King began to wonder why the care he felt for his friend had hurt all this time she'd been away, and why a small part of him was relieved that she was coming back, despite the consequences a broken alliance heralded for all of them.

It was not until she stood before him and that he exchanged a look with Celeborn at her back that Gil-galad exhaled again. Gilithren seemed all right, concealed beneath a careful mask of neutrality he had seen her wear too many times to fall for it.

“Your journey has been long, and the dealings that occupy us are of a delicate kind,” he said, nodding towards King Oropher's representatives. “I advise some rest before we can decide on a course of action that works for your King as well as for this realm. But I would speak with the lady —alone.”

There were muttered words Gil-galad paid no mind to as they retreated, his eyes searching for Gilithren's. The door closing at the far end of the room was a distant sound, and he tilted his head towards the veranda overlooking the gardens so she would follow.

“I would ask how have you been,” he said in a low voice, lifting a hand to cradle the side of her face, brushing his thumb across the soft skin beneath her eye, “but it is as clear as day. What is wrong, Gilithren? Truly.”

where is she? - Soldier Boy x Female Reader

Summary: Soldier Boy only has one thought in mind when Homelander wakes him up: you.

Pairing: Soldier Boy x Female!Reader A/N: Wrote this on 7/29/24. This was meant to be a drabble and I was going to experiment with a different format at the time but after taking another look at it close to a month later, I decided against it. I haven't seen Season 4 of The Boys yet but I did see a gif on here of something from the finale in regards to SB. This idea popped into my head that day and I wrote it out. Starts from the Tower scene in 3x08, an AU. Unbeta'd. Full dialogue in text is from 3x08. Warnings: drug use; violence; violence against a woman; choking (not Butcher/Boys friendly) Word Count: 1019 First posted on here: 8/31/24 dividers by @firefly-graphics

You burst into the room from the stairwell, finding Ben trying to fight three of your new supposed teammates off, his eyes full of fury and a slight tinge of fear immediately finding you as they slipped a mask over his face. “I’m not…going back…in that fucking box!”

“Get off of him! Now !” You angrily yelled, energy pulsing from your hands as you tried to rush them when Butcher caught you off guard and knocked you into a wall on his way to get to Ryan. 

“Sorry, luv.” His expression was full of trace amounts of remorse as he turned from you but you didn’t care. Your attention was on Ben alone.

When Ben saw you slam into the wall, even more fury seemed to emanate from him and he was finally able to push everyone off. His chest was a bright pulsing red that continued to get brighter and brighter; he was charged up and he was about to blow.

“You’ll kill everyone!” Starlight implored.

Ben’s expression didn’t change and you knew you had to get to him before he went off. You didn’t care about any of them, especially now, and you didn’t care for yourself. But Ben you cared about and you wouldn’t let him do this — not again. 

“Ben!” You called. 

Within the seconds it took for you to get to your feet, Maeve was already launching herself at him and they crashed through the window of the high rise, plummeting stories below. “No!” You rushed to the edge, watching their freefall in horror. “BEN!” You screamed before the impact of the explosion sent you careening backwards.   

When Soldier Boy was woken for the second time, uncaring who was there to greet him, he only had one question. “Where is she?”

America’s Asshole of a Son, now suited up, stared out at the city from Homelander’s newly renovated suite. His own son watched him, keeping his hands clasped behind his back.

“It could all be ours, you know.”

“Don’t care,” Soldier Boy growled out. “Where’s Butcher?”

Homelander sighed in disappointment and approached. He didn’t know much about the man whose blood he shared but one thing was for certain: Soldier Boy was laser focused when it came to revenge. He just happened to be focused on the wrong thing.

When he reached the older man, he studied him for a moment before nearly rolling his eyes. “You actually loved her.”

He shouldn’t have been surprised when Soldier Boy turned a lethal glare onto him, his pupils dilated from the drugs coursing through his system that he’d just snorted, but it still caught him a little off guard. Homelander didn’t feel shame or remorse; those were human feelings and he was a god. But right then, he felt like a small child scolded by that dark gaze and his shoulders subconsciously lowered an inch.

“Find me Butcher or I will find him on my own,” the Supe threatened before walking away. Homelander watched him go, angry that even while dead you somehow still managed to fuck with his plans.

Right before Soldier Boy was about to strike a killing blow to Butcher, Hughie yelled, “She’s alive!” The Supe froze and turned a scowl onto Butcher’s dickrest. 

“I promise,” the bitch insisted. “I can tell you where she is! Just don’t kill him. Please.”

Soldier Boy’s glare dropped to the man swaying in his hold, his face bloodied, bruised, and swollen. The supe’s jaw tensed and he dropped the man to the ground, making him a silent promise that he would still pay for his betrayal, before his eyes landed on Hughie. “Take me to her. And you better be telling me the fucking truth or you’re never going to get to feel the warmth of this fucker’s mouth again.”

Hughie’s eyes widened but he gave a nod. A hint of a smirk teased the corner of Soldier Boy’s lips for a moment and then disappeared completely. Before following the bitch out the door, he gave Butcher one last kick for good measure.

Soldier Boy tightened his grip on Grace Mallory’s throat and lifted her body higher up the wall. He ignored Hughie’s whiny pleas of not hurting the old bitch. “Open it,” he ordered. “Now.”

Hughie did just that. The supe could hear a whirring sound behind him and he intensified his glare at the woman he was currently choking out before turning to look over his shoulder. Out of a drawer, a cryotube emerged, looking quite different from the one he had been in when his pussy of a son had found him. His breath caught in his chest when he saw you inside, slumbering peacefully, tubes wrapped around your barely dressed body. Rage began to flow through his veins when he realized that you had been stocked away inside a fucking sock drawer like a second thought — like you had never mattered. You were the only thing that mattered.

He turned back to Mallory, gritting his teeth, and his body shaking with fury. He saw the lack of fear in her eyes and in a split second, his decision had been made. He flung her across the room, not caring about the sickening cracks he heard when she made impact. For good measure, when Hughie tried to run to her aid, he brutally knocked the kid aside and made his way towards you. Within seconds, he had the cryotube open and he ripped the wires from your body. He curled his arm around your shoulders and carefully hoisted you up into his lap.

A few heartbeats later, your eyes slowly began to open, your lashes fluttering repeatedly as you returned to consciousness. Your gaze struggled for a minute to focus on the image in front of you but when it did, you rasped out in disbelief, “Ben?”

A soft smile played upon his lips as he ferried your hand to his bearded cheek. “Yeah, doll. It’s me.”
