Art of the Ouroboros Cycle Proposal

[rosehearrt]

❛ Command me to disappear, and I’ll disappear. ❜ (from Trey)

NO LONGER ACCEPTING ━  BOOK STARTERS VOL.11 ANNA KARENINA.

“I could never.”

A small sigh; exhaustion weighed heavily on Riddle’s shoulders, eating away at any new semblance of energy that threatened to bloom. It upset him a little bit sometimes, how much Trey knew him. How he knew the grisly details of Riddle’s childhood, how he’d witnessed more than once the way he lived when he was home. How every bit of who he was had been a result of having it forced into him. Trey had also seen him at his most vulnerable. In tears, gripping mother’s skirt, or filthy on the ground after his Overblot…it made him want to scream, every so often. To shout, and throw things, to shake him because he needed to realize that Riddle wasn’t enough, that he wasn’t worth loving this much because all that would happen in the end was that he would drag Trey down with him.

And yet. He could never quite say it. He could never bear to let him go.

Compared to Riddle, Trey was everything good in the world. He was warmth, and comfort - hands used to support others, or to bake the sweetest treats, and a smile that could convey any amount of his endless empathy. He was friendly, gentle, social: everyone liked him, and deservedly so. How could he be the one to ruin that? He didn’t want to. He hated himself for it. But it was inevitable. He’d already gone through one Overblot, and even now, his levels of blot accumulation were high, and they were risky. Like ouroboros, he was forever stuck in a cycle of brutality, constantly consuming himself and destroying his body and mind.

Anyone who got too close was bound to get caught in the crossfire sooner or later…

“I don’t want you to disappear. You know that.”

But. Riddle was a selfish person. Mother had always said it, and now he knew it to be true. All those nightmares he always had of Trey’s hands around his neck, or being mauled by his magic, and then that simulation of being attacked by him on the Island of Woe…and he still couldn’t let him go. In fact, it only made him want to cling even more desperately. Trey was what he feared losing the most, the person he was most terrified would come to hate him. Could he even handle that? Trey’s disdain, directed towards him? He wasn’t sure. Perhaps it would kill him. Perhaps that would be a mercy.

Another sigh.

“…Do you want to sit? I’m just finishing going over proposals for our next multi-school event.”

What’s your favorite SCP-001 Proposal? Mine is a three way tie between World Gone Beauty, the Thirty-Six, and Touching Eternity. Touching Eternity is the most recent 001 proposal. The author has mentioned that they did get inspiration from Trigun and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers game, which I was pretty excited about since PMD Explorers of Sky is my all time favorite game. I definitely recommend you read it.

... I don't actually know, their all so amazing to the point that you can do almost anything with them, and it will never be boring. Hm, I think the one I actually like the most is the Ouroboros Cycle. Because with it cannon that means LITERALLY everyone can be cannon and it's a total mind fuck but in the rare way that I actually enjoy. Also, I like the idea that the SCP Foundation is so powerful that NO ONE can destroy it, it can't even destroy itself. Anyone who tries to, will ultimately be forced to become another member... Welcome to the Family.

Though I liked the Black Moon, as well, I sometimes reread that one or watch YouTube videos about it. I don't know why I just find it so captivating.

she ouro on my boros til I cycle

[o5verwatcher-6]

found this in my school help 😭-

[nyaskitten]

did we honest-to-fucking-god NEVER name Skales x Pythor as anything other than like, Skythor or Pales or some shit????? WHAT IS THEIR SHIP NAME???

If they got nothing I propose Cyclicalscaleshipping bc snakes and the symbol of Ouroboros represents endless cycles and whatnot..

Released/Planned Chapters of: Short Tales, Stories of the Foundation, and Hetalia

This is just a list containing information about the chapters of my oneshot series on Ao3, will be updated when a new chapter is in the process of being written/updated.

Ch.1: The Storage Room

First oneshot I've written of this series, not my best but I enjoyed it,

Ch.2: Erised (NOT CANNON)

Wrote this one after re-reading the first Harry Potter book

Ch.3: Sleep and Malakai

Thought it would be cute to expand upon my oc's relationship's,

Ch.4: Mari and Ivan

Just felt like writing this tbh,

Ch.5: "I Kinda Forgot To Tell You That I'm America,"

This one came out of a meme I sent my friend lamo

Ch.6: Friend

Aaron Siegel in most fandom depictions on AO3 reminds me of Arthur for some reason, so I was compelled to write this

Ch.7: Cannon Stuff pt.1 (Out of universe)

Ch.8: Cannon Stuff pt.2 (Out of universe)

Both chapters were written out of the urge to infodump,

Ch.9: Ouroboros Cycle AU (I'm debating on whether or not I want to keep this chapter up)

Since the Ouroboros Cycle proposal is one of my favourite ones on the SCP site, I thought why not create another au in which some of the Hetalia characters are the O5 Council,

Ch.10: Why? (A Gift From Yao)

Scp-348 is one of my favourite SCPs, combine that with the dynamic of Kiku and Yao makes for something interesting

Ch.11: Everything Is Ok.

I randomly had the motivation to write about Unlondon and 2p England,

Ch.XX: "I'am Not the Messiah!!!" -Ludwig (Unreleased)

I look forwards to writing this one since it'll include the Church of the HRE,

Ch.XX: A Change of Fate (Unreleased)

I want to introduce a new character and show how Alfred met the SCP Foundation before Chapter 5,

Ch.XX: Overbearing Big Brothers (Unreleased)

The image of Alfred and Arthur just squabbling over who's the big brother of Three Portlands came to my head after watching the Exploring Series video on it

Ch.XX: To See Someone Familiar In Another's Eyes (Unreleased)

I want to explore the relationship between Aaron and Alfred, both characters seem to have conflictive and cold relationships with their older/younger brother figure.

Any questions about this AU is welcome!

what are your favorite SCPs?

I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED. I love scp very dearly, but I am not the best at remembering numbers, so I can't give a huge list - but there are a few that I remember distinctly as being very good. Fair warning that they're all fairly popular ones, so if you're an avid reader on the site, I might not be giving you anything new.

I love heartfelt ones the most, so here are a few that make me hopeful (?):

SCP-6001: Avalon - I read this one really recently but ugh, it's so good. It was written for the SCP-6000 contest with the theme 'Nature', and it shows - it's such a good commentary on human nature, and it's long but very worth the read. You've read fanfiction longer than this. I know you have. Open it up and read it. That being said, it's better enjoyed with at least a basic knowledge of the SCP foundation; if you're going to read this one without that knowledge, read SCP-173 and SCP-682 first.

SCP-5031: Yet Another Murder Monster - Obvious pick is obvious. Very good. Not much else to say about this one other than that you will smile like the whole way through.

SCP-1342: To The Makers Of Music - Very good and a little tragic. It may make you a little sad, which kind of feels contradictory to the other two, but it's also kind of hopeful? It's very hard to explain but it's a short one and a sweet one.

For some less heartwarming ones, here are a few good ones off the top of my head; SCP-3000, SCP-3003, and the whole Ouroboros: The Cycle proposal, with The Way It Ends being my favorite section. Happy reading anon <3

2019 Creator Reflection

Pick a favorite piece for each month to celebrate the year! Reflection under the cut.

January: i dont remember writing another poem this year after this one, and i dont think i could necessarily top it: i think this is one of the better ones i’ve written. it’s tldr abt elliot n his anxiety abt proposing, and why he won’t do it, and i feel that its focus and imagery is tight even tho there’s a few trips in rhythm, which i think help convey his panic

February: i’ve distanced myself from this one a lot, but i think it’s still p strong. nol’s rant is a bit preachy, tho it sources from smth he’s thought abt a lot and which is a thorn in several of his conflicts: self-image, reputation, class, n identity. the undercurrent is also censorship within vulgarity and truth, which is a mega issue in war-related literature

March: honestly one of my fav things. i love writing brucemont, and i love nol’s relationship w the dead, and w elliot, and w bruce. it was difficult as usual to get the fight scene done, and pronouns are a special hell, but im happy w how it turned out.

April: i liked the language in this one. alliteration kept coming to me, which was as annoying as it was a help bc it can easily overload a sentence, but it felt snappy to write even w the long sentences. we also stan the vigil, as always

May (1 / 2): the first was a really excellent exercise, all things considered, and finding a way to combine each route n hone in on each questline helped me remember some plotting basics. thank u wyda! / this one was one of my first sets w separate characters in gpose, rather than taking separate pics and combining. ofc the flashback pics were heavily made up, but the pics w nol n eli were all shot w timing, which was a lot easier than expected

June: this one took a long time, but it’s fun to do frame-by-frame animation n add grime, so that’s what i did. i liked organizing the colors on nol n dav, and the lighting turned out really well. it tells a lot abt them, too

July: ironically, altho this was one of the most complicated puppeting jobs ive done, it went rly smoothly by how excited i was abt it. i blame absolutely everything on this shitpost

August: ah yes. my Novel. i honestly love this thing to death, and im astounded by how quickly i wrote it and how finely done it is. def my achievement of the year, sans college things. its the first project i’ve begun from page one and will finish in order. will!! plz look forward to it!!

September: happy ffxivwrite! faith crisis or not (elliot’s always having one of  those) i wrote fluff. i havent done that in like. 3 years. at least. not to this degree. one day ill write all the stuff that’s in exposition!!!

October: this was a slow month bc i was working on everything i’ve posted for november n have yet to complete, but i did hit 80 gnb and got nol his greatcoat!

November (1 / 2 / 3): a big month! the first big segment of wedding au, a nol thing for armistice day, and an eli edit i ended up falling in love with. i think i bled keeping up the pacing in wedding au, but im super glad w how it turned out. the points of intensity work and im grateful for it. then, i wanted to keep the tradition of confronting some military things for 11/11, and tho i didnt hit the date, i finished it. i’ll never feel like it’s “enough” to cover a topic that deserves a book, but for 1k it’s a entry.

December: another slower month bc of family n trips, but i did manage to write--holy shit--smth fluffy. i don’t usually use the ouroboros technique in my writing, but it felt extremely appropriate here w the cycle of death n life in the story.

-----

overall: this year was stupid, and also really good. i finished my thesis, graduated magna cum laude w english honors, joined phi beta kappa, got working meds, made friends, went to ny twice, read more books than i have in so so long, and sorta learned how to drive. no responses to internships, and no response from potential job yet, but i know 2020 will be the year i get to work and im excited to get started. also first au!!! im gonna do it!!!!

and past reflections, for ref: 2017 | 2018
