[skyward-floored]

I wonder how some of the other side-characters are doing in IAU, mainly the Resistance in Twilight Princess (mainly Shad), because I can fully see them being a group here. Shad gives the vibes of a community college professor, who probably some sort of ancient language, history, or linguistics and gets carried away in his lessons explaining conspiracy theories about how the government is run by sky chickens and it's a miracle he was hired instead of being written of as insane. Maybe Rusl is a family friend and babysitter, or maybe even sword instructor along with that one dude from Majora's Mask somewhere as well. I can see them being a pro-super protest group or something, and maybe Telma's bar is a covert meeting place for other supers and those who support them. Ashei is cool, I love her design, but I have no idea what her deal is other than showing up at Lanayru, maybe she gathers intel as a job or something, no idea. I haven't played Twilight Princess in a while, so I also have no idea what Auru does other than I think know about the Gerudo Desert? Maybe he's a tour guide for the place. Once again, no clue on that guy. And I know he's not part of the Resistance, but the doctor who doesn't do jack shit in TP feels like that one image I saw a while back where they charged the guy for 'emotional support' since they were asked 'how are you?'

Yeah I have a few resistance ideas— I was kind of thinking they’d be some sort of group like you said, and probably college related XD I’ll admit I haven’t put like, tons of thought into any of it, but those are all good ideas you have!

Rusl though I did have a more specific idea for— I figure Twilight met him now and then when his family would visit the Ordon area, and maybe he stays with him once or twice if Lon Lon is too full of people? Maybe. Either way, Rusl and Uli know Malon and Talon fairly well (though not about powers or anything), and therefore Malon’s kids too. That summer where tp-esque stuff happens, I think Twilight gets to know them better. Maybe even later he stays with them as like a job thing? College thing? Idk. Either way they’re around, and Twilight does know them.

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

Strawberry cookie's turn!!

technically the first I sketched but the last to be colored </3 All three were based on a sorta mix of some of their costumes,

Wizard cookie Gingerbrave

anywaayyys Story below

Strawberry cookie was still in shock, they were alive... somehow...

Shadow milk cookie had definitely hit them, there was no way he missed, but something protected them. She had looked over at Wizard cookie, maybe he figured out an impromptu shield?

But he had seemed even more confused than she was. Gingerbrave, glanced over with a smile, "Oh wow! That sure was a close one, huh?" He laughed as Wizard cookie looked over at him and frantically shook his head, "That... wasn't me...?" he stated, Gingerbrave's face turned to confusion, "Huh...?"

Their confusion was interrupted by a very upset Shadow milk cookie, "What?! How?!" he hissed, the ex cookie of knowledge now filled with confusion and annoyance.

White lily quickly ran towards the trio, alongside Pure Vanilla, who both began to confront Shadow milk cookie, but Strawberry cookie was much more focused on the increasingly distressed expression on Wizard cookie's face.

"If... it wasn't you... then who?" Gingerbrave said confused, Wizard cookie looked at the ground, the trio almost entirely ignoring the fight beside them, "I... Pure vanilla and White lily couldn't have set one off in time..." he muttered, clearly thinking about something deeply.

"Wizard cookie?" Strawberry says concerned. "ARGH! It doesn't make any sense!" Wizard cookie harshly stated, causing Strawberry to jump a bit. "Maybe we're just lucky?" Gingerbrave suggested, "No." Wizard stated, "This isn't the first time we just so happened to make it out of something unscathed. Luck is one thing, but we're far past that point." he explained.

Strawberry cookie looked concerned, "But... if it's not luck, then how?" she muttered confused.

Wizard cookie went silent.

"Maybe we're just really durable?" Gingerbrave stated, "But if that were it... why would things miss, or just so happen to not work?" Wizard cookie stressed, "It's almost as if reality itself has been working to prevent us from being injured!" he almost yelled. Strawberry cookie stared, "That's... not possible is it?" she questioned.

"Not normally, no. But I've been thinking about something for a while..." Wizard cookie pauses as if thinking of what to say, "Isn't it sort of odd... that we've ended up on these journeys at all?"

"Uh... I don't think so, I mean we've just been helping cookies, right?" Gingerbrave says with an awkward smile, confused where Wizard cookie was going with this.

Wizard cookie shook his head, "What were the chances we ran into the cookies of darkness? From a single Cake hound, or founding the cookie kingdom... The fact we met Pure vanilla in the first place is extremely unlikely if you consider it." Wizard cookie pauses, "And what are the chances we survived the Witch in the first place? Or escaping the castle?"

"I... mean couldn't it just be coincidence?" Gingerbrave said with growing concern.

"Maybe, but don't you feel the tug towards this? Pulling us towards goal after goal..." Wizard cookie insisted.

Gingerbrave and Strawberry went silent at that.

"I think... somehow we already knew what to do" Wizard stated.

"Even if we don't remember it. I think we've been guided towards fixing things on purpose." He elaborated.

"Who would even... do that?" Strawberry cookie asked growing more confused.

Wizard cookie looked at the duo, "I think... the three of us already know the answer to that, don't we?"

Strawberry cookie froze at that, she knew, and yet she didn't. It was an odd feeling, like being reminded of something long ago. Gingerbrave also seemed to be thinking of something, "That... doesn't make sense though... I mean they... Why would they..."

The silence between the three was drowned out by the fighting going on near them.

...

"Are you three alright?" Pure vanilla had asked as the 5 cookies made their way back to the Silver Kingdom, Shadow milk had fled shortly after the confrontation much to the displeasure of White lily.

"Yep!" Gingerbrave chirped, "Shadow milk cookie didn't do too much damage!"

Pure vanilla looked at the trio concerned, "I'm glad... We... I had not expected it... I was concerned that the three of you would have been hurt... especially with the amount of power he had put into the attack..."

Gingerbrave looked back at Pure vanilla, "Well... it's a good thing it wasn't too bad then!"

The ancient nodded, "Indeed... although I wonder what happened...?"

The trio stiffened slightly at that, Wizard cookie coughed, "I suppose one of you must have set off a shield unknowingly." he stated with false assurance.

Pure vanilla grimaced, "I suppose..." After all, there wasn't much else explanation...

"Yep! Just lucky you were there!" Gingerbrave agreed, although somewhat half heartedly.

Strawberry cookie nodded as she quickly ran towards the older cookie with a soft smile under her hood. "Thank you, Pure vanilla." She stated with a smile.

Pure vanilla watched as the trio seemed to blame him for their miraculous survival, and as much as he wanted to trust his friends... something felt wrong to the hero of truth. An odd dread, perhaps? And yet nothing at all felt wrong... How... odd.

Pallete: Forget-Me-Not, Prompt: Rubber Duck

Look you gotta give your local war machine a taste of what peace feels like ok?

[psychotic-nonsense]

"I'm sorry."

It's the first thing Steve says after everything.

After getting Vecna Cursed. After nearly dying. After a hallucination of Eddie saved him. After running through a looped forest. After finding sanctuary in Steve's memory of that Starcourt bathroom. After Eddie reveals himself as Eddie.

It's the only thing he can think of. It's not big enough to fit everything, but it's the only thing that fits in his mouth.

"Don't be."

Maybe that's the only thing Eddie can think of too. The only thing Eddie can bear to say.

Because don't be can't stop Steve's eyes from watering when he sees the vest in his closet. Don't be can't stop Steve's feet from dragging him to the cemetery every evening to clean Eddie's graffiti-covered tombstone. Don't be can't stop Steve from sitting beside Wayne and listening to him talk about the Eddie he remembers. Don't be can't stop Eddie's body from showing up in Steve's dreams, nor Eddie's corpse from his nightmares. Don't be couldn't keep the pain away enough, didn't stop Vecna from latching onto it while Steve was walking alone in the woods.

Don't be isn't enough for what Steve wants to hear. But even stuck here waiting, hoping, for someone to get Steve out, there just isn't enough time.

"I miss you."

"...Why?"

Eddie says it back so quickly, so quietly, like it's just unfathomable to him. Maybe it is, considering their last memories. But their eyes meet and he looks just as sad, just as longing, as Steve.

"You were my friend."

Steve can't help but say it like that. Like they were friends for years instead of days. Like Eddie was that important to him in their final moments. Like his heart really aches for Eddie every second of the apocalypse.

Can't help but say it like he means it.

"I wish we could've had more time..."

Steve's voice cracks a little there as he turns away, hiding. It's all he wants. It's all Vecna used to entice him with. It's all that's keeping him going, to finally fulfill the last request Eddie made. It's all he has left to feel close to Eddie.

The Eddie that's sitting right next to him, silent, his sight weighing on Steve's skin. Conscious and aware and the real Eddie. Trapped in Vecna's head as a backup power source, yet who still risked everything to come save Steve. Who Steve will never see again because killing Vecna means killing Eddie for good, and his heart doesn't want it, is begging for another solution...

But for once, his broken head overpowers his shattered heart.

"Maybe we did."

Eddie takes Steve's hand. Meets Steve's surprised look with his own small smile of hope. They're both suddenly tearing up, eyes glistening with life in this gray stall.

"Maybe in another world, we got a second first chance. A first second chance. Maybe even a third, or fourth. Maybe in a different life, we had everything we wanted. Because you, Steve Harrington, are too good for me to be doomed to meet just once."

And for a moment, Steve sees it. Feels it. Versions of them connected through the universe.

Little kids playing in the lake. One with bruised skin and shaved hair, loud but unfathomably lonely. One with a bruised heart and soft eyes, timid but stubbornly hopeful.

A rockstar with glittering chains, center stage in the spotlight. A set of eyes in the crowd or behind the curtain, watching only him.

A werewolf and a vampire, two cryptids of horror, meeting in the dead of a full moon night to feel safe with the only other one who understands.

A future where they won, where the only death was the one that mattered. A process of healing and learning, coming home to a family every single day.

A world without pain, without their hell, where two high schoolers found freedom from their shackles and company in each other. Hiding away together in the dark corners of the town.

Steve even sees other versions of them. Versions that he knows were originally never supposed to meet, yet forces so much greater than them pulled them together.

A metalhead drug dealer, constantly getting into trouble with one nail-bat-weilding cop.

A criminal's fugitive nature leading him to a rugged trailer park, and the dangerous owner within one such home.

An eccentric king in an old coliseum, always choosing one particular warrior as his champion.

A young programmer being pulled away from his work by sobs above his apartment, running upstairs to check on the law student that recently moved in.

Two actors, finding an easy friendship in the months of filming one season of a show that would change their lives.

In that moment, Steve's overwhelmed by the closeness he suddenly feels with the soul beside him. Falling into tears, he pulls Eddie into a tight hug, holding him so so close to convey everything he can't say. Feeling Eddie hold him back, hearing everything Eddie can't say in return.

Familiar music comes on outside the stall. Robin's voice calls out to him, telling him to come home.

And when he does leave, Steve hopes that someone out there will understand that he never can. Because here in Eddie's arms is the only place that will ever truly feel like home.

"Thank you... for everything, Eddie."

Thank you, Steve. For everything and more..."

"Hair dyes or perms or just a quick snip, you can always count on your ol' pal Clip!"

it's about time i officially shared my design for Clip from my hairdresser au! here's the silly boi himself!

a.k.a. the most complicated character i've ever designed...

close ups and additional comments under the cut!

that's my boi, despite his crazy design, i love him. his silly top knot hat, the horn-like points around his faceplate, his speckled colours, his four arms, and his funky pants. he's just soooooo fun.

Clip likes to play games and knit! he even made the patchwork pants he wears (he made Sun and Moon a pair too, but they're too precious for them to wear... also a little gaudy to wear in public—doesn't stop Clip tho!). He actually makes everything the boys wear, since there's not a lot of things in their size/shape.

instead of resting at night, he can be found in their living room, playing Kirby 64 for the nth time and/or knitting something. he's just too restless to stay still, he's always gotta be doing something and if it isn't gaming, knitting, or hairdressing, then he's up to No GoodTM.

Clip... likes popping balloons. he says "Goodnight!" with each popped balloon and once he's done, he tosses up the scraps like confetti all while giggling joyfully.

needless to say, he is not fun at parties. Sun and Moon don't let him near balloons for this reason.

and yes, he has sewing needles on hand at all times. for fashion emergencies... and for unsuspecting balloons.

Clip's not allowed to have a phone (just imagine all the in-app purchases Sun and Moon would have to deal with), but he likes to keep up with his customers and their games, even if he doesn't get their fixation over bluenets he'll never openly admit it but he prefers curly-haired blond hunks that look sweet in soft pastels but could also squash him like the spider he is

also, he's great at microbraiding! though i imagine if Sun and Moon are free, they'd come help to shorten the wait but also to compete and see who braids the most (Clip always wins of course—make anything into a game, and he's winning)

aaaaand there's this! i wanted to make sure Clip would be able to freely rotate his waist so his arms could have their full range of motion, and this was the solution i came up with: a crop top on top and a wrap around his waist. and Clip here is being a sneaky little scamp about it.

"Stop grieving already... I told you I'll be back..."

Quick. Get that out there before I start to hate it!!!!

I took a sketch from one of my upcoming doodle pages. Since I liked it I thought I might as well refine it. The blue/orange hue is so satisfying for my eyes, I almost love the non coloured version more...

Drawing shadows with lines at an almost meditating pace did the trick for me again i guess.. I could kinda relax while doing this, which is basically a big as goal achieved on it's own right now...

I am so tempted to critic the shit out of it again.. BUT I'm not gonna do that.. I will not let my fucking brain ruin this hobby for me again..

Not. this. time.
