Thoughts below.

1.

"Look at how she holds her leister. See her arms? You should angle yours like so," I said to Kheeta. "Learn from her. She is the best we have."

"Then ask her to teach me," she replied.

I could not. I was not permitted to speak to any of them any longer, unless I swore off my vengeance. I said my final words to Khloa two suns ago. I bid farewell to my fellow hunters after the last dawn, half-hidden in the mist so that we could not see each other's faces. When the Sapphiric Sun rises next, I will tell my sister good-bye.

"I cannot," I said simply.

"In two nights," she said, sparing no thought towards learning fishing techniques, "I will leave some provisions in the tree-hollow we used to hide in. The taller one. I will wrap them in cloth and twine."

The blood of the dying fish ran down the spear-haft. My chest ached, as though a fire burned deep within; one that could only be quenched by blood.

"Save them for the clan," I chastised.

"No." She touched my hand. "I will want to know that you still live."

2.

I have trouble imagining how a single Abyss can divide Lubrae in two. It is possible that the Abyss is in fact a circular moat that surrounds the City, and Lubraeans' worldviews are oriented such that there are only two sides of the Abyss -- the City side, and the wilderness side. However, thinking about the amount of land that would need to be encircled to provide everything a "crowded" urban area needs is too complicated for me. Especially if fresh water is also needed. Hence, I have gone with "island".

The "perpetual sunlight" can also be achieved with an orbital mirror, but I feel like the destructive potential is not enough compared to a laser.

3.

I realised two things: one, that the beggar was once a Sta--a guard; and two, that he was older than Khloa. Than Kheesa. Older than any of my clan had ever lived to be. Our eyes met. One of his remaining ones was cloudy with a cataract. The insignia of the Regime rattled in his bowl.

"Does the Afeln belong to you?" I asked, pointing my chin towards the animal beside him.

"Yes. It is a good one. Very good."

"It's too old to hunt," I told him. "You should eat it."

My companion, not liking our exchange, marched me into the damp abode of the apothecary.

4.

Some outfit drawings.

I think I am warming up to the idea of certain parts of designs being Earthlike. It helps with the reframing of the story.

#long post #anjiandraws #rhulk #lubrae #the current framing of destiny's story is that there exists a powerful spacefaring entity #which travels to worlds inhabited by beings who are not capable of the same feats as itself #and provides its special technology for these beings to use. It is often celebrated for its gifts #which are often portrayed as positive for the lives of those from the host planet or system.#The one case where a host species had a negative outcome portrayed is one where they are described as lacking in wisdom #which along with the case where a member of the host species stated that he would rather that the entity not have visited his planet #are both villain origin stories.#Why this framing?#Are other framings possible?#etc etc not looking to fight #nudity /#destiny 2

A Quintesson attack leaves Megatron in need of repairs.

Let’s pretend this takes place early where Megatron isn’t incredibly paranoid about back stabbing (Starscream) yet

#transformers #maccadam #transformers one #megatron #soundwave #starscream #shockwave #d-16 #tf one #I didn’t draw it out but megs is super conflicted abt taking his cog out #for obvious reasons #maybe he respects/trusts/looks up to the high guard since they’re #the high guard #after megs leaves they’re like wait. why were they having such small bots mining #one fall and that tiny frame can get dented and oh god he’s just a kid what the hell #reason to kill sentinel number 37 #anyways they’re sillies fun time to me #unrelated but FUCK tumblr decreasing quality of large pictures I was wondering why my older posts were so blurry

got anymore Sunstorm headcanons?

In my au, a mech's designation is part of their spark coding, they online with a unique designation. Of course, bots can change their name later, and it happens often. The headcanon is that Sunstorm, being a clone of Starscream, has a near identical spark signature, resulting in a bunch of copied coding. Shockwave is not amused.

#transformers #sunstorm #shockwave #starscream #sunstorm: i dug deep and found this (pulls out starscream)#shockewave: put that thing back where it came from or so help me #dont worry - sunstorm wasnt quite feeling it either #actually kinda sad to me to think that sunstorm couldnt even find his designation at first #oh also in this au the frame a cold constructed mech is placed in transforms when they online #which is why all the seekers look slightly different #sunstorm looks near identical to starscream #it really weirds the other seekers out when they meet him for the first time

bring back zooterkins, the best 17th-century swear word

I don't normally do Just Characters Swearing, but. ...this kind of wrote itself and then wouldn't leave my head. it comes from both a piece of character-writing advice that has always stuck with me, and also my conviction that Leona is 1000% funnier as a character if his dialogue has to stay G-rated. let Kalim say fuck, but don't let Leona say bastard.

(I'm sorry)

#art #twisted wonderland #(sort of atemporally somewhere between episodes 6 and 7?)#(i - i wanted that lilia joke okay)#long post #tumblr went 'you can post up to 30 images now :)' and i was like well okay then #anyway once again i'm sorry #i'd say i don't know why i did this but actually it is because i wanted kalim to scandalize everyone #i tried to keep it...you know...tasteful. a tasteful amount of fucks.#hey remember how the framing premise for the original birthday interviews was that yuu worked for the school paper #because i have never forgotten. in my head they are still getting up to all kinds of wacky reporting hijinks.

Day 44- GERUDO TOWN

Bug Zapper 9000 worked too well. Not only did we get the terrifying normal corpses, we accidentally found its brood mother that can summon localized sandstorms to protect its underlings.

At least it got chased away by Riju’s lightning. Big win.

This totk au is called familiar familiar! It all started when zelda didnt fall back in time and devolved into wild violence

Decorated the frame for my beloved print from @illusioncanthurtme !!

#my goal was to help hide how scratched the frame was without distracting too much from the print itself and i think i succeeded #gravity falls #billford #my art #i guess technically #theres a voice in my head telling me i should have made the left side the lower one and that voice is the devil cause i tried that first #i love it though 😊#this having 700 notes and counting is where id say why did this happen i thought i was going to get like 20 but truly it is not about me #this print is fucking gorgeous and deserves all the affection it gets

@professor-of-himbology you are correct

#billy batson #damian wayne #and they were pen pals #Billy hates accepting it but “I guess if it makes things easier for Damian then okay”#and Damian doesn't want to admit he's worried so he frames it as being just for his benefit #and this is why their friendship works #deep down billy knows he cares and would actually like the help #they're both just very stubborn #art I did

(captain america: brave new world spoilers)

sambucky scene transcript!

----

On Sam, looking at Torres in the hospital, hearing footsteps come up behind him.

Sam: "It's a private room. Go away."

Bucky comes into view beside Sam.

Bucky: "Missed you too."

They look at each other. Bucky a soft smile. Sam looks away, a smile tugging the corner of his mouth.

Sam: "I hate to admit it...I'm glad you're here."

Sam looks back to Bucky and they both go in for a hug, Bucky closing his eyes in it. They part, stood side-by-side again.

Bucky: "You looked good out there on that 6 o'clock."

Sam shakes his head a bashful smile. Then sombre again.

Bucky: "But then I saw this."

Sam: "Doctors had to restart his heart. They don't know if..."

Sam closes his eyes.

Bucky: "This isn't your fault."

Sam: "It makes me think of Steve. How many alien invasions did he stop, again?"

Bucky: "Two."

Sam: "Two. Wow. What made me think I could follow that. I should have took the serum. Like Steve. Like you."

Bucky looking at Sam.

Bucky: "Why?"

Sam: "Because this is all starting to seem much bigger than me."

Sam turns to fully face Bucky.

Sam: "Ross, he asked me to restart the Avengers, Buck. But Joaquin's in here. Isaiah's in prison. And Sterns...I had him. I had Sterns. Right in my hands. And he got away. He damn near pushed us to the brink of war, because I wasn't—"

Sam emotionally cuts himself off.

Bucky: "Say what you need to say."

Sam looks down, then back to Bucky.

Sam: "Steve made a mistake."

Bucky: "No he didn't. He gave you that shield, not because you're the strongest, but because you're you. You think if you had that serum, you'd be able to protect all the people you care about. Steve had it, and he couldn't. You're a human being and you're doing your best. Steve gave people something to believe in, but you...you give them something to aspire to."

Sam squints at Bucky.

Sam: "Did your speech writers help you with that?"

Bucky: "They did, yeah, the ending, a little bit. Well, did you like it? Was it—?"

Sam: "No no, it was good. Solid...B plus."

Bucky: "Yeah. Emotional."

Sam: "Very. I felt it."

Bucky: "But just enough."

Sam: "Yeah."

Bucky: "Listen, I've gotta...catch a plane. I have a campaign fundraiser. It's so stupid."

They look over Torres, smiling. Bucky looks at Sam.

Bucky: "He's gonna be all right, man."

Sam looks at Bucky, shakes Bucky's hand.
