“I’m nervous. Am I doing okay?”

“You’re doing amazing Sweetie.”

This is a pretty good point in the wip to share this, methinks :]

Map part for the hole dwelling map, starring... Not my ocs! I wanted to use ocs, but I don't have any-- so I just used the characters from a fic I was reading at the time 😂

Turns out, the symbolism was so much fun to twist into the 11 seconds I had to work with, I ended up going way more complex than I meant to. If you wanna read the fic this was based on, please do!! And tell the author I said hi! :D

YEEESSSSS JO!!! "Yet in his fair-skinned face, with its blond eyebrows and lashes, in the blue eyes, there was still something of the rebellious child we had known." is in the description of all my Enzo stuff and is my favorite quote because I don’t want people to forget that part of him. The rebellious child persists!!!

I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOUUUU... safe to say we are the only 2 people who truly understand that man. (I mean I can only say this because I have been blessed with the gift of your presence and I arrogantly take pride in that), but I am a firm believer in this part of Enzo being an integral component of his effect on Lila. They're both slightly crooked on a level that has little to do with their circumstances, but that core aspect of their being has been shaped by the very same environment so they respond to that aspect of the other's soul waaaaay before they create a more stable bond in material reality. I think they exist beyond that material, in the ruins of the city, in a warmer and more musical sense than every other everlasting inherited truth of this fictional universe does.

Elena and Lila exist on another plane of existence, built specifically to outlive Naples and its ties while Lila and Enzo as a relationship is irreversibly rooted in where they come from, but in a surprisingly heartfelt way at that, like how terrible times in history tend to give birth to the most beautiful of songs, they are an ancient song of unknown origin to me. (I have so many thoughts on this, but that's not the point I'm making here and it makes me too disgustingly mushy anyways.)

It's the fact that they recognise who the other is when freed of external factors that helps them reshape the way those same factors inhabit both of them... They create new external conditions in their hometown because they see the mechanics of each other's private worlds as a reflection of their own...

Hottest Stand Battle - First Round Match 6

Stand abilities under the cut:

Paisley Park: Paisley Park's primary ability involves assisting individuals significant to Yasuho in finding and reaching destinations more expediently or escaping perilous situations. It can hack into various electronic devices with ease and use them to help Yasuho in her investigations or any other activity she is focused on, bypassing any security they may have. When Yasuho discovers Paisley Park for herself, it displays time-limited choices on her cellphone or laptop. After selecting an option, the Stand provides her with the item she asked for which then comes in handy later. Paisley Park can also freely change its shape.

The Hand: It is a muscular, humanoid Stand whose ability is to erase everything its right palm touches.

Remembering the time I reskinned the Doctor Who TTRPG and set a mini-campaign inside a Containment-Breach-Ruined Holmwood Foundation, and then the players basically nuked Jeremy.

Valicer Multiamory Month, Day Twenty-Eight: Magic (Valicer In The Dark AU)

The end of Multiamory March (as made by @polyamships) creeps ever closer, and today's prompt is a simple but fun one: "magic!" I have a number of AUs where magical things happen, so filling this one? Not a problem. :p Now, one might have expected that I'd do something for the All The Fairy Tales AU for this one, or perhaps the Medieval Fantasy AU, or maybe even the Valicer Forgotten Vows AU --

But when it came time to figure out something for this prompt, the first thing that actually came to mind was my beloved Valicer In The Dark AU. Which does indeed have magic in it -- just, uh, magic you don't want to mess with too much. Which led to me thinking about what the trio would have learned about magic, growing up in Duskwall -- and what Alice and Smiler might think about Victor getting into it once he embraces being a Whisper. And so the story below was born! I hope you enjoy. :)

--

Magic was dangerous.

That was a fact of life one learned early on, living in Duskwall. Magic, and anything related to it, was dangerous. The old tongue of sorcery was the domain of demons now, who used it to torment all who opposed them – from freezing them in storms of ice, to drowning them in massive waves, to burning them with whips of fire. And rituals? Well, you never knew what mysterious, otherworldly force would consent to lend you a bit of its power – or for what purpose. The city was full of stories featuring those who had dabbled in what they didn’t understand, and ended up paying a terrible price. Who had discovered that the power they so eagerly sought was also their inevitable downfall. Magic was dangerous, and thus best avoided.

Alice and Smiler had known that too – they’d grown up hearing all the stories, all the warnings, after all. And for the most part, they’d followed said warnings – Alice had confined her interest in the fantastical to her imagination, where magic could run wild without hurting anyone, while Smiler had channeled their desire to accomplish incredible things into alchemy, which often ran up against the side of magic, but never quite crossed over. Even after Alice suffered the death of her family and ten years in Rutledge Asylum, and Smiler finally ran away from home and was cheerfully swallowed up by the Advocates, neither of them were tempted much by the mystical.

And then they met Victor. Who – after some initial reluctance – wholeheartedly embraced life as a Whisper. Who poured through ancient volumes of spellcraft and sorcery, studying distressingly complex diagrams and practicing words no human tongue should be able to form. Who asked his ghostly mentor what rituals he knew, and how best to perform them. Who eventually came up with his own spells, designed to translate any language or ward them against spectral attacks or even drag them all temporarily into the ghost field. All the sort of terrifying, dangerous activities that any sensible person would want to avoid.

But – well. One could accuse Alice and Smiler of being a lot of things, but “sensible” was not usually one of them. And things Victor did – first, they were genuinely incredible feats of arcane power. Second, he always tried to be as safe as possible, and only use them for the whole crew’s benefit. And third – whenever he spoke a word that brought lightning arcing down from the sky, or drew a symbol that lit up a ghostly map of the city, Alice and Smiler would see the joy on his face –

And think, how could they deny the man they loved such pleasure?

THIS FUCKING SOFTWARE CRASHED TWICE MADARCHOD FUCKING SHIT FUCK

[antirepurp]

i kept the placeholder fresnel thing, grease pencil was having a lot of issues especially with the fluff geometry. the fluff also doesn't behave exactly like the other textures because the shader is set up in such a particular way already and im not good enough with its specifics to adjust its behavior further. no wings because i forgot to set up the materials for them properly and they're using evil and fucked up textures atm heehoo
