#i'm locking in on that now

[ladyinthebluebox]

well i guess the table fiasco is a sign from above for me to stick to my outline and wrap this project up before it'll frustrate me &/or explodes right into my face.

ok, the OTHER thing is that Tamsyn Muir's writing style is -- it's exactly everything I've ever wanted or loved. By turns insanely technical, rich, evocative, and also *deeply* irreverent. You have high level vocabulary and an obvious love for language and worldbuilding pressed right up against the memes and sex jokes. There's nothing better. and it's even better that it very much isn't one-note, that she has a strong understanding of character voice, which is *so* important in this story where souls are all possessing each other's bodies. I fell in love with Gideon and Harrow, but I was just as struck and pleased with Nona, so happy seeing the language pare down and simplify, as the tone of the story morphed perfectly to match Nona's own way of perceiving the world around her. what a writer

Mokarun Prompt Week - Day 4: AU

Prompt: Crossover

I am aware this is very likely NOT what was intended for crossovers but my brain latched onto it like a particularly stubborn crocodile so this is what I've got. This is my second and last post for Prompt Week. I burnt too many braincells drawings all of these LOL

And the screenshots I referenced are listed below, if anyone's curious ^u^

"You're seeing Sae?"

Bunny's deceptively easy candence echoes in the empty corridor, the swing of the bathroom door squeaks and sweeps shut behind you. He's leaned up against the wall, a predator in wait, the play of the game before the strike.

"Maybe seeing is the wrong word," his head tilts, gaze a little too intense, like he's analyzing you. "You just like him, right?"

Your annoyed expression is so clear it makes him chuckle. Don't you know better than to play your cards so openly? All it takes is a small, growing plant to break through concrete devotion.

He surveys you again in your standstill, smiles at an assessment only he can read. "He doesn't really like you, you know?"

"He likes me." You're here at this event with him. He brought you here. Even his teammates were shocked. Surely —

"Sure, he likes you enough." He presses away from the wall, hands in his pockets as he stalks towards you. The room feels too warm, his stature too casual. "Tell me he doesn't leave you on read. That he takes the initiative, pursues you.

Tell me he doesn't rush out the door in the morning, that you feel important to him. That he puts you first."

You don't say anything. You're careful, you swear you're careful to school your face, but he must see something in the way you shift, because the side of his mouth almost upturns into the smirk of a winner.

"He's cold, isn't he?" He continues, too much confidence in his relaxed state. "Do you even feel that he likes you at all?"

"What do you want from me?"

"He'll leave you for someone better, prettier. You're just the thing he likes in the moment."

Bitterness spins in your mouth. "Fuck you."

Well, he's gotta admit. Something about that little fight of yours makes him hard.

"Awh, sweet thing," his condescending tone grates against the polished floor tiles. "You don't have to settle for Sae, you know."

"I'm not settling," you grit. "Sae—"

"Yeah, he's got a fancy football career and money and fame —"

He tips your face up by your chin, so close that the cool metal of his watch kisses your collarbone, his warm breath ghosts against your cheek.

"But so do I."

this now has a part 2

There's really something in how despite his hollow flippancy, Augustine was the only one of his generation who hadn't given up.

Cytherea would have personally killed everyone in the solar system and then God, trying to die. Mercymorn tried to do it the other way around, but she had the same end in mind. Augustine is the one who said no. No, there are people out there. Real people, to whom we have a responsibility, and to whom we owe a future. Until. You know.

If you like this sort of stuff, please go check out the full video on my YouTube! It took me forever to make and I nearly cried about 4 times during the editing/posting process!

And as always, huge thanks to my Patrons for making this stuff possible!

the theme is same faces

(ID in alt text)

bonus + design notes:

sparknotes:

tridentarii: the building block was "lions" (corona's mane of hair and king vibes + ianthe's scar lionking swagger) but i think i lost that plot at some point. regardless peep the earrings for symbols of their twisted mutualism. also they have dimples <3 bc on corona they're perfect and on ianthe (when she smiles wide enough) they're sickeningly dissonant

the nonas: harrow has curls bc i think the only thing funnier than saddling a nun who's been shaving her head since infancy with fast-growing hair is for that hair to be horrible messy springy curls that are barely spared from frizz by the sheer grease #bathingisn'tsafeformern. please also applaud my restraint in adhering to canon and not giving nona dimples. she deserved them

the sixth: came to me fully formed honestly. palamedes calls camilla beautiful enough for the alexandrites so i just let my heart and sapphism take the wheel here. for pal when i first read gtn i visualized him very differently but other artists made such a compelling case for scruffy pal that now i can't see him any other way

the second: also let my heart take the wheel here. wanted to draw a man carved out of hardwood so i did <3 at the caliber of necromancer that g1d is i know he probably wouldn't have so much scarring but the heart wants what it wants (cool factor). in my head and in my heart they're from wake

naberius: i don't have anything to say in my defense. i rewatched teen beach movie, found the perfect face claim and set the wheels of fate in motion. i think babs is hot the way a ken doll is hot, y'know? it takes yanny piloting his flesh mecha for him to be gender (<- testimonial from my masc nb friend)

cassy & nigella <33

Happy 5th Anniversary DRDT!!!!!!! and happy birthday Mai too :D

[egophiliac]

do skully have pokemon?

Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.

(they can also have little Nightmare Suit costumes :D)
