#or getting themselves fired

[thehoneydee]

ok so kind of life update:

I am back to working in food service hell, but my hours seem to have kind of stabilized and living arrangements got wonky for a bit there, i'm still unpacking but things are normalish now

i'll likely actually have the time/energy to write again now (i've been way too burnt out to try for like the last two months) but i want to build up a bit of a chapter buffer before i start posting so that i dont go radio silence for months at a time again

once i have that buffer in place i'll post an update schedule but im loosely estimating that first updates will be posted by july

did someone say “burn pygmalion! a better guide to romance” by the scary jokes as jekyll and lanyon? no? ok

hello waiter yes I would like my jekyon with a side of toxic codependency please 🙋

if u have not listened to this album go listen to it. right now. the whole thing. in order. it’s about a news reporter who falls in love with a movie star and the crumbling of their obsessive, manipulative, and toxic relationship. its soooo good. I’ve listened to it a million times. I own the CD. jeanine and sylvia my beloved. here’s the original cover:

anyways a lot of the songs are jekyon coded imo and I thought it’d be fitting for a redraw lol. personal favs include starstruck, emotional vagrant (FAV!!) crushed out on soda beach, and no leverage/no pleasure. absolute bangers. i love the scary jokes sm.

No... How can this be?

Daddy’s favorite wine sippy cup...

Now I’m going to have to drink it out of the box like a fucking animal!

You’ve taken everything from me, Machine.

And now we’re going to get drunk together.

That’s right, the only way to repay me for your sins and the breaking of my favorite wine glass, is to finish off this box of wine with me!

And we’re going to have conversations that we think are deep only because we're drunk off our asses.

And by dawn's light, who knows, maybe enemies will be turned into…

EVEN STRONGER FUCKING ENEMIES I’M GOING TO KILL YOU.

There is scientific evidence through slag analysis that Mesoamerican metallurgists may have used a unique pre-Columbian technology to smelt copper!

I think people who draw Zack a little monstrous are onto something actually. Esp if it’s a Zack lives AU.

Zack who is Changed undeniably by Crisis Core. Zack who Is A Monster and who Is Not Monstrous. Or at least does not allow it to consume him.

Zack who is a monster, like Angeal and Genesis and Sephiroth and when cloud tells Zack what sharp claws he has Zack says ‘all the better to protect you with’

Zack who doesn’t run back to Gongaga to lurk in the jungle to be hunted. Zack who gets support from the people he loves and who love him in turn because ff7 is a story that time and time again rewards that. Zack who is marked by his grief and by his tragedy and by his very DNA and has people to keep him from drowning in it all.

Zack who is not the same, but Zack who still has dreams and honor and so much love. A monster. But not monstrous.

Thinkin' of WOF Au for DC, but like, it's a Gothamite and Fawcett thing. (And Amity Park if crossover)

Like those are the most magical areas in the world, even if Gotham is cursed as fuck. An unspoken secret of sorts that while they present themselves as human to outsiders, they are all Very Much Not.

Which means hilariously in the league, when everyone expects Batman to be suspicious and short with the new guy- even made bets on it- they are then shooketh when both visibly relax and start talking. And half the shared complaints don't make sense!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now Gotham technically has no Queen, nor does Fawcett, but Batman and Captain Marvel are the closest things. Not in the traditional sense of back when they were in separate tribes (& maybe from a different dimension but shh that was millennia ago) but in the sense of, they're the ones patrolling and protecting the cities along with calling the shots in disasters.

Which does sort of change the dynamic they both have in their city. If one of them calls to arms, the city would follow them. They could declare war, and their cities (begrudgingly in Gotham's underbelly's case of strongest is in charge) would follow. And while Billy is oblivious, both Marvel-the-not-hivemind and Batman are. They know they have to be very careful.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure we all want Nightwing Bruce but no. Bruce, like both his mother and father and father's father and so on before him, is actually an Icewing. The Waynes however, have a case of melanism running in their bloodline. Thomas Wayne? Only his quills and part of his back were darker, but Bruce? Practically pitch black scales that shadow his eyes.

Now Alfred on the other hand, is a Nightwing. No special powers there, though you would hear many a child protest with how he seems to know everything.

Commissioner Gordon is a Mudwing, big stocky and very tired, which translates to his human disguise as a large trenchcoat. He finds this very amusing. Barbara similarly, is half Mudwing. Her mother was a Hivewing, making her a hybrid between both. Which does ironically mean that Batgirl does in fact have insectoid wings. Though that does ponder the question on if they'd all go by their original vigilante names.

Dick is a Silkwing. Wingless as he watches his parents fall and unable to do anything despite this place supposedly being safe for beings like them. He grows into his own, and his wings, when they come in, are dark Gotham colors through and through, with the deep blue of the sky he's come to crave.

Jason is a hybrid between a Mudwing and a Skywing. He's also an animus- not that he knew that. He doesn't find out until he's dying, telling himself to not die, to get back to Gotham, to his dad, his family- And then he wakes up in his Coffin, alive.

Now Cass, raised to be the perfect killer, is also a hybrid, just one between a Nightwing and a Rainwing, egg set out under the moon. Which succeeds, partially. She can't straight up read minds, but combined with her talent in reading body language on both human and inhuman bodies, it's a near thing.

Tim is a Seawing, borderline abandoned by his parents who seek treasures and more wealth as he's trapped back in a city where the water is dark and poisoned. But he's Gothamite, through and through, and he adapts. Scales darker than the original blues he was born with, and glow shifting to that sickly white of the Gotham's Bats.

Now Steph, is a full-blooded Rainwing, and can in fact change her scales, but can mostly be found in purples and golds. Though for a short time she was in another set of colors, thought dead before she slithered out of the shadows older and wiser than before.

Damian is his father's son, but he's also an Al-Ghul. The not-quite dragonet is half Icewing, and half Sandwing. And struggled to adjust at first, to a place so different from his first home where the only other dragons were blood related. But like any Wayne before him, he adjusts, and he adapts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Billy wasn't a Beetlewing originally, and perhaps he would have hesitated if he'd known it would change him, would change his body and the last thing he had of his parents. But his friends, his Team and new family help. And he can pass as a Silkwing like their sort-of foster mother. All six of them can do so now, even if the others look more like hybrids themselves thanks to not being the Champion. They might not be, but they're his family. And that's enough.

why get stressed about online discourse when you can instead google the current wildfire situation in your area and discover that hikers keep fuckin' walking onto trails that are specifically closed..... Because The Woods Are On Fire.

you will experience the same sharp rise in blood pressure. with none of the queer infighting!

anyway. this warning SHOULD be even less necessary than the one i gave a few weeks back about checking the summit conditions when you hike unfamiliar mountains, BUT:

IF you live in fire country.

please. Please.

do not.... go hiking.

on a trail.

that is actively on fire.

🙏🙏🙏

Unwarranted take, but why can't Jun just end up with Win? Why not, huh? Why can't we make a bisexual king end up with his gay childhood bestie?

(Or for a spicier take, let Jun end up in a throuple with Tai and Champ. See how fun that sounds? Let's ice Sorn out of this)

Sorn pissed me off to all hell the moment I saw Jun cry. I had so many flashbacks to the worst supervisors who bullied interns at our office just to get a power high. Sorn even did the unforgiveable and embarassed Jun in front of other bosses, ruining Jun's chances of ever being hired by that company in the future (if we don't factor in his friendship with the company owners). That sucks because we know Jun comes from a working class family and obviously needs a good job. He presumably interned at that office because he wants to check out future work prospects and make good connections (that is the whole point of an internship).

And Sorn did all this because Jun didn't answer a text from a situationship who's giving him mixed signals. While he was hanging out with a friend during his free hours.

Sorn you made that boy cry. You either grovel or you leave him alone.

LAST MINUTE CYL Sharena propaganda, that... ended up being too last minute. Whoops! Well. I'm happy to have them, for any occasion. 😌💕

This is a redraw of one of my fave anniversary arts! The 4th anniversary one! With some slight changes, and focused on Sharena and Alfonse, themselves (I did debate drawing my Summoner in the corner, like in that artwork, but.... no..... I just..... need to focus on Them....)

That said, I have a few other doodles too!

Oooughhfjhhhhghhhhhhhgghhhfff........, the. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 Yeagh 👍

I also wanted to include the 4th anniversary art for comparison! Under a cut! But also chances are you can just. Go to my blog and See It LMFAOO 🧍

It maybe would have been nice to include the cute background too........ but you can't make me. NUMBER #1 HATER OF BACKGROUNDS 🚫🚫🚫😤😤😤😤😤💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
