Binah core suppression. She's rampaging throughout the facility. The Extraction team has technically disbanded, but you're still in Lobotomy Corporation.
The Arbiter wants to tear this place to shreds. What do you do? How does she feel about you? How does she ACT around you?
(What if she sends a pillar down the hall and, God forbid, it may hit you? What if you rush into a containment unit, fearing a meltdown, and it's enough to weaken her?)
she stops
she simply stops, watching you from the hallway. clawed carapace twitching at her sides. the Arbiter steps closer. once. twice. she stands before you, intimidating and terribly strong, able to kill you with the flick of a wrist. but she doesn't. instead, she kneels. she kneels before you, all armor and spines and wood patterns, holds her hands out to you. imploring, pleading for you to come closer, to not be afraid of her. the Arbiter lets out an odd sound when you slowly reach back, a rasping, metallic hum low in her throat as she pulls you into her arms, head pressing against yours. it's cold. she's cold. every inch of ice clinging and melting into you. the screams and sobs of the facility dull as the Arbiter manages to speak, crackling and heavy
"Don't go."
you don't. you hold her tightly in your arms, shaking from fear and exhaustion and worry. and she just leans into the embrace, silently desperate. like this, everything she caged away comes flooding out, culminating in a need to be close, to know you're safe. her head against your shoulder, grasping the back of your uniform. so many times, so many cycles. so many instances of your death. not again- never again, and not by her hand. you cannot die again, she won't allow it. to leave her wasting away, wishing she could follow you into endless sleep. she's never allowed to. an Arbiter never rests
her claws cup your cheeks, gently, and Binah allows herself to weep
#project moon#lobotomy corp#library of ruina#binah#binah lobcorp#binah library of ruina#if she ever kills you#always on accident#everything goes cold#you were her warmth#and now you were gone by her doing#of course. an arbiter is not allowed to love

since ayato's finally getting a rerun what's your headcanons about him (i just wanna talk about him more)
I hc that he always gets so many marriage requests 😗 (idk what it's called)
I'm honestly not very good at headcanons without prompts, but here's my attempt at it. Sorry for the wait! o3o
Ayato Headcanons
Self-focused - As easygoing as Ayato seems, many would be surprised to know that he can be quite the sore loser. Well, perhaps not with everything. He certainly would not mind if he lost at a childish game like beetle battling. However, for games that he's good at, can you blame the surprise that would flash in his eyes if he lost? Ever the schemer, he takes pride in his ability to strategize. He knows how to utilize his resources to gain the exact results he wants. So if he lost, don't be surprised if he goads you into another game. Certainly the next one will not be a fluke.
Relationship-focused - While you may be in a relationship or even married to Ayato, it would be foolish to expect him to be completely forthcoming about his business. While he certainly will not lie to you, he will also not tell you the complete truth either. It's not that he desires to keep secrets or thinks you cannot handle the truth. He simply does not see the importance in telling you everything. To him, matters even concerning the Shuumatsuban are simple everyday affairs, nothing worth mentioning. Really, there's nothing to concern you about.
#ekolu.headcanons#genshin impact#genshin x reader#kamisato ayato#ayato#ayato x reader#i do think on some level ayato does not want to tell you everything that goes on in his business because like...#he does not want you to see how cold he can be#kinda going into my ennea 1 typing of him#ayato is confident. there's no doubt about that#but i think that he wants people like ayaka and a possible spouse to feel comfortable around him#he does not want them to disapprove of him or be scared of him

Bestie Deficiency
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#a-qing#xue yang#xiao xingchen#Xue yang is cold because cold blooded creatures can't generate their own body heat#I am skipping over drawing the stories they tell due to the fact this arc is already really dragging#but I think they are very key in understanding the yi-city characters#Even if they are stories that really bring down the slumber party vibes A-Qing was hoping for.#I mentioned some of my thoughts in the tags of no. 76 but to continue on a bit more#I think xxc and xue yangs stories inversely mirror each other on the meaning of sacrifice and what it means to 'deserve' something#to xue yang he has only ever sacrificed - therefore he is in his right to 'deserve' what he wants. And he wants everything.#xxc leaves song lan thinking its the best course of action to atone but my god. No it wasn't. Poor communication crown actually goes to xxc#but it's what xxc he feels he deserves - continued sacrifice to atone. He wants to want nothing.#both are very stuck in the past in ways that are not actually accounting for their actions#It's easy to look at xue yang and go 'dang you need to get over your childhood trauma'#but that very much ignores that fact that we - real human beings - define so much by our childhood pains.#Growth is having to come to terms with it and trying to move past it...and not everyone is ready for that.#I have a lot of thoughts on that matter but I'll let it be for now.#Anyways. Amiguito appears to be one of those words whos meaning change depending on speaker and contextual factors#So as far as I can tell it slides around on the scale on romantic and platonic. Which works for this dynamic. I think.#Native Spanish speakers I am so sorry.

stg, being an enjoyer of jane twdg is like being forced into an expert-level course on the way misogyny manifests in video game spaces.
god forbid a woman be complex or difficult or provably mischaracterized (see tags) at the end of her arc to service the culmination of a man’s storyline.
#“kenny was harrowed by loss in his family” so was jane. that is part of them literally being foils.#“kenny teaches clem more!” literally untrue a lot of clem’s combat style is rooted in what jane taught her (targeting the knees & basically#everything clem knows about knife combat- jane is also mirrored with lee in this sense as like was previously stated knife combat later goe#on to become a major element of how clem fights only outweighed by her use of firearms)#she teaches clem the gut trick & we see the innovative thinking that comes with being more independent & proactive influence the way clem#handles sticky situations & deals with feeling disempowered. like this is going to sound odd but the fact that her behaviour mirrors jane#at her best (even though her relationship with aj is more maternal the way she approaches him much more as an equal & capable of holding#agency over his own life is much more reminiscent of the way she was treated by jane & luke positively + the rest of the adults negatively#than how kenny or even lee treated clem [though lee did start to view her this way after the train] + her people reading skill.) & at her#worst (isolating herself + becoming cold + the fact she is [based on player choice] willing to leave aj behind for both their survival +#struggling with her need for community vs her sense of distrust in their lasting stability + her tendency to be unfeelingly pragmatic to a#fault except when it comes to aj + the fact that clem- at her worst is self-serving & somewhat uncaring in comparison to kenny’s possessive#hot-headedness etc) indicates that on some level- regardless of a player’s second season ending- clem considered jane to be a better#behavioural role model- this isn’t to say kenny was unimpactful but rather that his impact was different- where behaviourally we see elemen#of lee luke jane & even carver in clem’s later behaviour kenny’s impact is more so that of a cautionary tale- somebody clem cared for who#she witnessed lose himself entirely to his worst character flaws due to an inability to cope with the world she now lives in- something he#even admits to her in multiple endings iirc. kenny becomes the fate clem must strive against at all costs.#similar can be said of the ending where you go with jane regarding how it analogies clem’s fears & low self worth as a result of being#unable to maintain what she had with aj (in a manner that mirrors jane’s story in that she’s choosing to leave behind a living relative due#to no longer being able to be what they need- again depending on player choice*)#*my exact memory of the third season is hazier tbh. iirc it is dependent on player choice whether she is complacent with the decision to#make her leave the new frontier.#like the way the ending was handled was sloppy & jane was mischaracterized as a result of being shoved into a conflict that we know for#certain was not intended to go to her. calm down & just enjoy your man without being weird & misogynistic dear god.)#(also if you like clem & jane you will like holly robinson & selina kyle dc)#twdg jane#jane twdg#twdg

"Is Amphibia gay like The Owl House?" It is gay, but certainly not like The Owl House.
#you will rip the sashanne subtext from my cold dead hands#i just need you to imagine sasha as a boy for a moment. i know this fandom is good at that so it should be easy#a person attracted to women constantly fighting for the main girl's love. picking her up in a heart-themed carriage#trying to kill the people that come between them#having multiple breakdowns over her rejection of them#eventually deciding to become better in order to ''deserve her'' (they say this explicitly)#they were trying to impress her and convince her to stay by their side since the beginning#now they became a better person and they do things like holding her by her waist and dance with her#to fight a canon lesbian couple (''they're not the only ones who are in sync!'')#and get some killer lines by the girl they've been trying to get since day one such as ''look at what you and I have now''#while staring into her huge heart eyes#this goes beyond shipping y'all. sashanne isn't even my personal favorite. it's not my fault it's canon#/hj#why do i ask you to imagine sasha as a boy you ask. well. what WOULD you assume of him of she were a boy#what would most people assume of that behavior#the moment sasha was revealed as canonically queer it recontextualized everything#i wholeheartedly believe the subtext is meant to be ambiguous on purpose (and i wouldn't have it any other way)#there's also ''sasha. sasha waybright. my hero. my villain. my savior. my downfall'' but we don't talk about that#marcy is also out there calling them both ''my love'' in her private journal but that's a whole other can of worms#that lowkey leads me to believe she might be aromantic and insanely platonically in love with her friends#(it makes sense in my head)#imagine the show's popularity (and discourse) if sashanne were explicitly canon tho 😭 just imagine it#my posts#amphibia

I know the respective fandoms of DC and Miraculous Ladybug have a certain disdain for MLxDC fics but I think there's a potential for fics where Luka leaves Paris and just keeps traveling to different US cities because he keeps figuring out secret identities and he's just this 15 year old kid growing increasingly frustrated and exasperated at how badly everyone hides their identities and he just has to pretend to be oblivious even tho it's Their Fault for being Bad At Secrets and shouldn't adults be better at this??????
#he goes to central city and he's like ah yes a city with an actual adult hero#surely he will be able to keep his identity a secret#and then that very same day he's at the bank setting up an american bank account and captain cold tries to rob it#and the flash saves the day as he does#and everything's great and dandy and secretive#but then#BUT THEN#he has to go to the police station about some paperwork for his witness statement (idk its fanfic just Write Something yk?)#and some guy laughs in the back of the precinct#and luka is like huh. that sounds like flash's laugh when he laughed at his own cold pun yesterday.#and he looks at the laughing guy and he's like oh hey they have the same jawline too. and same basic build. and god DAMN IT!!!!!!#literally just turning him into wes weston from my own fanfic which like. yeah i like the same concept in different flavors soooo#not a surprise#dcxmlb#dc x mlb#mlbxdc#luka couffaine

Anyone like this weird jak concept design I thought of
#art#jak and daxter#concept#its like instead of getting stuck in a dystopian city he gets stuck in a winter wasteland or something#i think yellow eco is supposed to be thermal energy or something so theres a lot of that#maybe instead of going to the future he goes into the far far future and is unable to stop the destruction or his world or something#and dark eco had some kind of nuclear winter effect or something and made everything extremely cold and practically unsurvivable#ill probably make a more coherent idea later#jnd#jak

Now that we're on the topic of Ethel Cain, can I also say that American Teenager is Luke-coded too or is this take too delulu
#specifically the song's theme of losing faith in a higher power you once believed in paralleling luke's own loss of faith in the gods#but also 'neighbour's brother came home in a box / but he wanted to go so maybe it was his fault'#as a metaphor for luke seeing the demigods around him die on quests just to earn the tiniest bit of approval from their godly parents#and also for himself as he goes on his own quest#also the chorus 'say what you want / but say it like you mean it with your fists for once'#as a parallel to him making that final decision to go rogue which set everything physically in motion in a way he could never take back#and 'a long cold war with your kids at the front' pointing to the demigod kids at the front lines against the 2nd titanomachy#holy fuck that's a lot of tags sorry#luke castellan#pjo

“how did i get here? i had everything in order. my whole life was in perfect order” really was crazy considering that was .. simply not true but. if i said that ‘in perfect order’ means something very specific to lawrence
if i said that, for lawrence, order is being able to maintain the facade of being the perfect family man, the doctor with certificates on his office wall and a wedding band on his finger, the guy who also attempts to pursue an affair with another woman because he’s desperately trying to convince himself of .. something
creating this narrative around himself and making sure everything he thinks he is or wants to be is maintained in little boxes, meticulously organised to the point that it’s falling apart in front of his eyes and it’s still ‘in perfect order’, it’s still preferable to the alternative .. having to face himself. and then ! well then he wakes up locked in a room with his choices that led to this point laid bare
chained up with no way out as he’s suddenly forced to confront it all, a front row seat as the careful persona he’s built crumbles before his eyes when the man opposite him pulls out a bunch of photos. lawrence, who’s so careful to only be perceived in a very specific way, who presents himself as this guy he’s created, is suddenly faced with someone he can’t hide from, someone who’s seen at least partly beneath the exterior and developed it in black and white. lawrence, who claims that he’s never in photos, suddenly being faced with this reality of himself being captured in the flash of adam’s camera
#im perfectly average about lawrence my feelings are extremely normal now who wants the ten page essay#i could talk about gay lawrence forever he compels me so much#saw bathroom closet metaphor still goes crazy#if i said gay lawrence but i also said autistic lawrence then. what#masking nd being the person he thinks is ‘correct’ while also repressing his sexuality what Then#everything else aside because. autistic lawrence is insanely real to me#lawrence gordon#saw 2004#📹#woke up at 5am delirious nd in a cold sweat typed this out & then passed out again#what lawrence will do to a guy

good day for me today, art-wise
#yet the question remains: who is this DIVA?💜#i guess it's high time i told you a little more about henrietta#as you already know - shes zbyszek's girlfriend#(which means she has a thing for drummers lol)#she and edek went to the same high school and were in THE SAME CLASS... edek used to have a crush on her and even asked her out to prom#she declined though. he wasn't in her type at all. he wasn't a drummer /lh#henrietta is kind of a popular girl?!? like she knows almost everyone at whatever party she decides to go and the boys go crazy over her..#the girls do too#what's funny is that she for sure doesn't remember any names of people at said party. no memory for names whatsoever#she is also often percieved as cold or unpleasant but you know. god forbid a woman has her own opinion and dares to say it out loud#however her bluntness sometimes actually comes off as being mean:( but she means no harm!! unless she does...#about her interests - she is obsessed with cinema and films ESPECIALLY musicals#she would love to become a musical actress someday but there isn't a person who is more tone deaf than her. she can't sing for SHIT#buuuut she excels at sewing and designing clothes!! actually everything that she wears was made by her#henrietta has learned how to sew because of her mom who is a seamstress by profession and also. because growing up they were very poor#and when you can't afford new clothes - why don't just make em yourself?#she studies fashion in art college (the same one that edek goes to. what a surprise that he is ALSO there)#she is also very keen on literature! she particularly adores the works of franz kafka and will automatically like anything thats grotesque#oh and she used do dress more gothic in high school. maybe thats why edek had a crush on her...#she still considers herself a goth despite not embracing the subculture visually. all you gotta do is listen to the music!#she even named her two cats siouxsie and bowie!!#my art#original character#drawing#oc#sketch#sketchbook spread#traditional art#pen sketch#artists on tumblr

mistystar n who
I think fratboy Podlight who sends his powerful grandmother stupid texts is a VERY funny concept.
"My dad didn't love me because he could never move on from the lover he had in his 20s. My sister is up to no good. I party hard at Aftergatherings about it, are you rockin' with me?"
He is 38 cat-years-old.
#BB!Podlight#Aftergatherings#Better bones au#Fennelposting#There's a secret AU of the AU where everything is exactly the same but the cats have the ability to text tbh#I do occasionally just for fun imagine what their phones would be like for no particular reason#Misty is the sort of old person you think you'll have to teach how to use an app#But the moment never comes and you find out she actually has a whole ass burner phone and even refuses to upgrade to--#--a more modern model because she doesn't trust a device she can't take the battery out of#And your blood goes cold for a moment because like... Gamgam?? Silly funny gamgam with the long speeches at gatherings???#When pressed she's just like ''once you give a secret to the world you can never take it back. Knowledge is power and power is a weapon.''#It's fun. I wish I had a way to translate half of these fun phone thought experiments into canon compliance lmao#Btw just as an aside. If this ever DID become an original project it would probably take some inspiration from like...#I really love the new Zelda games' magitech take on an apocalypse. VERY cool idea.#Months ago I had a passing thought of Fallen causing such an apocalypse and entertained it for fun for a while.#Put it down ofc because I like the project in its current form#But it was a fun thought.

wish i was the kind of person capable of rekindling their obsession with a piece of art in the exact same intensity, but i happen to outgrow the feeling every time
#it's like i learn everything i need to learn and then i move on#this goes for people too i fear :/#fleeting but meaningful kind of my life thesis#dylanlila.mp3#i think i link the person i used to be to these things and since my goal is always to learn and get better at everything#i hate to think of the less capable version of myself#i mean this is good in many ways i don't bother with nostalgic fantasies and yearning too much#but it makes me feel cold and heartless :/

A succubus and a demon! (The succubi don't have names but the demon is Kronos and the succubus is one of his bosses in Hell and he's not /fond/ of the succubi for many reasons but they all adore picking on him)
Also because I love them and like to point it out, the succubi act more as pleasure dealers in the sense of they offer up whatever a human wants most in exchange for their soul. It's rarely of a sexual nature since it's what they want MOST in life. And most people's ambitions are outside of a bedroom. (happy pride, asexuals are able to get affected by a succubus now without discrimination)
#my characters#did i make succubi in a plot that i could fall victim to as an asexual personally? yeah#kronos is just a petty lil baby with a younger brother who is very nice for a demon#kronos is responsible for being a dick to everyone in the plot and yet has the weirdest morals and its not fine#but hes gonna make that everyone elses problem not his#for instance he originally goes to earth bc a human has somehow just stolen all of the Devils attention and its annoying#why fixate on one human doomed to Hell just let the guy live and die then fixate#so he goes to kill the human but ends up saving the guy and then agonizes because even as a demon#its REALLY tacky to save someone and then kill them#so he doesnt kill him and instead demands to be a roommate until he returns to hell#and then they team up to kill demons and other creatures that seem obsessed with the human#and so they just kinda kill and banish demons back to hell and its fiiiine kronos is just causing problems for Hell#thats not even a new issue hes always doing that !#and then they meet a siren who refuses to talk and kronos is like oh time to be the biggest dick ever#and is like well if she wont talk and she needs a name i vote halibut#as a mean joke bc why would she want to be named after a fish#and she lights up and is SUPER happy and nods and beams and is so happy with her new name#and then the human is like well she needs more clothes than one outfit right#also shes barefoot and its cold i need to buy her shoes idk what tho#and kronos is like here buy her these rainboots and so the guy buys them and is like just wear these#until you can show me what you want bought ok and halibut is in love with her cute lil yellow rainboots#so basically everything kronos does out of spite to the weird mute siren (by choice) backfires#and she adores him and doesnt know hes trying to be mean to her#anyway the succubi collectively like to pick on the really silly and childish demons they outrank#like kronos! so he is constantly a target for them to mock which is why he isnt fond of them which fuels them more#the succubi are just really chill most of the time though ?#and its just. i love my succubi ok theyre wonderful#and that has been another story time in the tags bye

actually the way people treat a shadow dragon rook that chose to save treviso is so fucked up. literally what the fuck is wrong with all of you
#dragon age#from a roleplay perspective. you have to choose between a city that DEFINETELY does not have the strength to withstand the attack#or your own city. with your own people. but who has A LOT of other people to fend off the attack.#and my rook does the moral math and is like. okay we have to go to treviso. because they need us more.#and i trust the shadow dragons to hold off until we arrive.#and then he gets here and EVERYTHING has gone to shit. and everyone is GOING OFF on him and blaming him for the situation.#neve basically tells him to fuck off and gives him the cold shoulder when she comes back#and tells him TO HIS FACE that she doesn't think he cares about minrathous. HEY NEVE! THAT'S HIS HOME TOO. THE HELL.#that goes for the rest of the companions btw. like all of them are worried for neve after the attack.#where's that energy for rook who had to MAKE the call?#sorry i just. what the hell man.#dragon age the veilguard spoilers#datv spoilers#veilguard spoilers#shadow dragon rook
