BTW next chapter of "Like A Parody of Tantalus" will be a Chume Labs interlude!
It's just polished enough / long enough for me to feel reluctant posting it to Tumblr rather than Ao3, but I don't want to shove it into the pre-QSMP / beginning of QSMP chapter since it doesn't fit the vibe.
#i talk#fic talk#Currently sitting at a comfortable ~3700 words so it'll be a shorter one#but I'm doing a lot of editing on it rn so who knows what the word count will end up as#(or at least I plan to. I did a lot yesterday)#I do want to keep it super short and I don't want to agonize over it too much because man. I do not update fast and I want to change that#In the sense of ''I want to just let things go and not agonize over them''#and also ''just work on them so they get finished instead of thinking endlessly about them''#My only major concern with this chapter is I don't think it fits the theme of this fic as well#in the sense that it doesn't really explicitly get into the whole ''food and love'' thing#I mean it does a little bit but not as explicitly as the previous chapters#but hey not all of them are going to be loud neon signs#some of them are going to be more subtle#Either way it's a very heavy Tazercraft chapter so regardless it'll be adding more to their dynamic#and the different kinds of ''love'' Tazercraft's dynamic falls under#I suppose#Ideally I'd love to have it ready to post by tomorrow but I don't want to make any promises#especially if I suddenly get a burst of inspiration and want to write more / add something I didn't plan for#but like I said I want to keep it shorter so we'll see

Ok but like what if post canon acme, having finally succeeded at something in two decades, starting gradually making more sensible improvements to their whole thing?
Like, for example, designated tie clips as a mandatory part of their uniform, to indicate an agents level of training. Each level and clip colour gets an agent different levels of acme clearance to types of missions, leniency with given acme property, etc.
Silver would be the very first. You get this one when you first get your suit. Very little clearance to pretty much everything. Must have an older agent accompany them on missions.
Copper (can also be called bronze) is commonly seen as the awkward agent puberty stage- in the process of finishing their training. Mostly put in surveillance and data analysis. Standard level for those staying in logistical positions.
Gold in the acme field agent standard, all necessary clearance for the average agent. Most are happy at this level, and do not continue training.
Black is the most extreme level of formal training acme provides, in which the agent has to, of their own accord, opt in to attempt finishing. These select few especially determined (most likely prideful and stubborn) agents are the most chosen for the missions in which they ordinarily risk their life. Requires special Chief issued recommendation.
Special thanks to @disfordevineaux for helping me with this idea!!
#my art#carmen sandiego#zack cs#ivy cs#julia argent#chase devineaux#zack and ivy have different colours for display purposes!! they both get gold eventually :)#listen if vile lets their operatives get their own funky custom suits acme should atleast make their uniform a bit more organised.#some guys have pockets but not others??? different glasses for seemingly no reason??? ok fine then.#im giving them a heriarchy. you're welcome chief ✨️#chase is one of the rare agents crazy enough to go for black. and determined enough to actually get it#julias fine with gold. she does Not want to get actively chosen to be put in the worst missions🫰#i feel like something so subtle yet important would help with acmes issues

Honestly, for me anything dramatic in JinMao reunion would have felt odd, I am happy they kept it very usual business-like because these folks are way too professional even in most intense of circumstances. Like after LN5 epilogue the way they talk to each other for a long time is very professional. Although MaoMao's soft, unwavering, slightly shocked gaze was a nice touch. I think the way they turn to professionalism is actually a mutual defense mechanism they have developed to undercut tension/awkwardness/intensity at times. Moreover, it will be nice to see not-so-professional Jinshi in the later two scenes where this scene in retrospect will become funny. However, after the balcony scene, I do hope they do ‘not-so-calm’ Jinshi due justice in carriage scene because that was a SWITCH from how he was behaving till that point. And a very important portrayal of how he ACTUALLY felt about her absence. Till that everything was more or less a facade for him.
Moreover, I feel you get to see intense JinMao only after LN-8, LN-12 onwards is officially together JinMao. So, for me actual important scene is carriage one and maybe the latter one is cherry-on-top for absolutely feral Jinshi. Hope they do both of them justice like the Hunt arc...
#jinshi#maomao#jinshi x maomao#jinmao#knh#the apothecary diaries#kusuriya no hitorigoto#apothecary diaries#I hardly think it could have been more JinMao coded than they being their usual self#I think Lihaku's interaction with MaoMao also showed it#In fact Xiaolan one is also going to hit harder because it is actually subtle yet more profound as they never get to say bye#But creative team did take some unnecessary liberties#However#I am more keen actually for second Western arc#till that everything is just a build-up for me#perks of reading LNs#moreover#out of all scenes with Shisui#this one actually deserved to be intense and dramatic#they are not meeting again for foreseeable future#so understandable#but yeah#creative team#be careful how you adapt#don't create unnecessary hype for characters who are not there in the long run#it is not justice for those characters who are going to stay with MaoMao for much#much longer time#especially when you won't be able to animate all of them

MDZS Disco Elysium AU part 2 - Psyche Skills
Part 1 - Part 3
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#disco elysium#MDZS disco elysium au#jiang cheng#jiang yanli#yu ziyuan#While it's more in vogue to draw a character's skill roster tailored to them -#One of the more subtle details I love in DE is how some of the skill portraits parallel character portraits of people hbd associates with.#Theres somethine rather poetic to be said about how other people shape out thoughts and sometimes act as a 'voice' in our head.#How we are in part a collection of impressions other people left behind on us.#I am a huge Skillhead (Those are my friends! My party members! They love me! They have their own agendas and alliances!)#so of course a healthy portion of this AU is dedicated to them <3#the Int skills go basically unchanged from DE. Psy as well (with changes to a few quirks in voice).#Fys skills though...well...wwx is in a different body! Those voices belong to Someone Else.#Esp electrochem (MXY in this AU also partied to near death. WWX is withdrawing and craving substances he's never even heard of before)#While I personally don't fully subscribe to Volition Jean I *do* see Volition Jiang Cheng. The voice of your Not Brother keeping you afloat#All three of these parallels make me unbelievably sad. They are also both purple. Art is like that sometimes.#Empathy Jiang Yanli...oh man do I have a lot of thoughts about her. Disco fans Who Know....you can probably see what I'm cooking.#Authority is a really interesting skill in DE because *yes* its about power and intimidation - but it's also about finesse and respect#Titus Hardie and YZY both abuse *and* finesse how they establish their authority - in a way that leaves quite an impression.#2 more mdzs disco posts that I *need* to create and then I'm off to working on raffles <3

Eyy, King Reaper and his beloved Mage Geno designs <3
#new age au#Geno is very tall (tall Geno supremacy <3) and Reaper usually floats so he's just slightly taller than Geno on any normal day <3#if he unties his robe in the back it drags along the floor at the perfect height to feign being very tall-#ohh I have so many thoughts about them :]#Geno's magic manifests as crystals so he wears some on his outfit (and keeps more in his pockets)#the black and purple ones on his belt are meant to be a little reference to Reaper (and Dust. before meeting him he only has a black one-)#Geno also uses a Cane! he's insanely skilled and powerful but on sone days magic fatigue finally catches up to him and he has to use it#the black half-robe was also the only accessory Reaper could convince Geno to adopt from his kingdom- that and the Sandals haha-#(I like to think Error made Geno's scarf-)#and ofc Reaper...#he's been ruling for so long that he lives in comfort rather than appearance because. i mean. no one is going to doubt him at this point#he leaves his ribcage exposed as a show of his confidence in his rule (direct access to his soul basically-) but also because. well.#he thinks he's eye-candy 🙏#and in his kingdom the crown/sign of royalty are those olive branch circlets#he wears his over his hood usually. Geno recieved one when Reaper officially finished courting him. Dust would eventually get one. though#for him it's more the equivalent of a wedding ring since his loyalty lies with Nightmare still and he has little official ruling power in#Reaper's kingdom.#oh! Reaper also wears a littlr band Geno made him once on his ribs. it's a nice red gem that he's vaguely aware is actually a tracking spel#Geno thought he was being subtle about it. he. in fact. was not. but Reaper let him get away with it 🙏#oh!!! last thing#Geno sometimes wears a nice silk wrap over his bad eye that's a nice clean white. it usually depends if he's doing magic or not#because his eye tends to get melty again if he strains during casting. and he's always overdoing it lmao-#anyways yeah#mm lied one more note#Reaper's wings are optional. kinda like a manifestation of his Ecto in a way since he doesn't need them to float#more just sonething to make him more regal or appear more threatening!#now I'm done#my favorite goofballs <3#spot!drawn#my art

wolshtola day 5: intimacy
"It's me."
"I swear upon the Navigator's name, please, Shtola..."
"...by the gods, what's happening to you, my dearest Ellie...?"
"...does that mean you're convinced...?" "Aye. And as worried as I am...'tis the greatest blessing to be reunited with you, my dearest."
#ffxiv#final fantasy xiv#ffxiv screenshots#ffxiv gpose#my ocs: ellie wiltarwyn#y'shtola rhul#wolshtola2025#wolshtola AU#thought about a couple of ways to portray this - some of them were uh a little more. stripped. as the prompt might indicate!!#but then i remembered this basically happens even in canon! just. not *as* intimate. so there you go. :V#v much enamored w/the idea of vision-impaired shtola settling her nerves by remembering the touch of her partner's face...#things i like about this: ellie's mid-shb fit is more Knightly than usual which lends this an air of “sorceress and her knight”#(with respect to nhaneh's schtick ofc ofc :D)#also when i've previously attempted to depict ellie's slow light poisoning it felt clumsy and extreme but now the hair feels more subtle#like the sort of thing people notice after a few weeks but not the day after#“my dearest” feels like a very in-character epithet for shtola to use#and finally that i managed to wrangle the scion sorcereress's dress so that it wasn't. utterly broken??#why does the right sleeve cuff have its own set of bones?? that are 100% independent of the arm bones?? and need to be moved individually??#it's so weird!! but i'm glad i figured that out because it was making me lose my mind lmao

landing
#i'd recommend zooming in bc the changes between panels are pretty subtle. they'll be easier to see on the cropped versions but i wanted to#include the whole thing too because i think it looks nice like that :)#opening up to yukina as the final hopeful yet unresolved part of hiei's arc of learning to trust and love and be loved by others is like.#aughh. fascinating choice anyway here's a take on how it'd go. from me. a sap#smth smth hiei letting his vulnerability show via the thing that unites them (bloodline via the hiruseki stone) which is inherently tied#to emotion and letting his feelings about her and his past show to someone. grahh#yyh#yu yu hakusho#yukina#hiei#skrunkart#also due to the title and the organization of this comic one could call this a landing strip#anyway um. posting more yyh but this time it's not funny at all oops. glad y'all liked the other one though jksdjfkjs#anyway yukina's important you should talk about her more#would also like to point out how in the final panel hiei doesn't actually touch her with his other arm. it's just resting on his hand#enclosing her but still kinda distant. he's still got some healing to do#edit argh i uploaded a slightly wrong version. fixed now. it just didn't have yukina's crying onomotopoeia#but i wanted them back in bc sound is so important to this one#WAIT PANELS SWAPPED. FIXED FR NOW#ANYWAY HIEI MY BELOVED MY EVERYTHING. LOVE THAT LITTLE GUY#also shoutout to devoted sibling characters. they really get it

2025 reads / storygraph
That Devil, Ambition
dark YA fantasy
follows three students accepted into their elite magic school’s honor class, which if they pass, will forgive their student debt
however: their professor is a devil, and the only assignment is to kill him. any student who fails an attempt, dies
the teacher’s pet has a plan to get him self and his best friends - two soft-hearted & absent minded girls - to pass the class and secure their future, but first he has to figure out how to kill a seemingly unkillable devil…
#that devil ambition#aroaessidhe 2025 reads#oh yueah i loved this. @ linsey miller when i get you!!!!!#twisty book with an interesting concept that had me just.🧍♂️standing there listening to the audiobook with my mouth open at times#it is very much about how bad the education system and debt can be#and how students’ whole lives are determined by how well they do in school; and it’s not subtle about this.#Fabian is sooooo awful and judgemental and thinks he knows everything and i need to put him in a jar and shake him about. sorry#I actually think I enjoyed his POV the most. No offense to the girls they’re very nice he’s just the most Abnormal (despite trying not to b#I really enjoyed the fabian/mia friendship too. tbh I would have liked a little more of the development of the friendships -#sometimes it felt a bit too fast paced and we didn’t get enough of them.#(also. comping to my blorbos and then doing THAT. i did expect it though)#the concept of severing your soul from your body to do magic is interesting!#even if every time it mentioned severance i was like omg the hit show on apple tv.#and maybe I didn’t entirely grasp the details of how it worked but that doesn’t always matter#Parts of the wider worldbuilding are a little vague; but I also did enjoy some of the little details -#like the fashions of appearing inkstained or having book pages embossed into your cheek to show you’re So Academic#the Professor is also a very good character - his and fabian’s dynamic is sooo good#anyway. what horrible things and situations student debt and unfair institutions will force these kids into huh!!#all 3 MCs have a bit of a romance but they're certainly not central to the plot what with all the trying not to die going on#euphemia is a lightly acespec coded lesbian/sapphic

playing with my touys rn. thinking of junhun in situations and whatnot
#junhun#tbh just spinning around with my thoughts while the fandom is on fire is making me feel like a child playing just dance while their >#> parents have a screaming match in the next room#anyway my opinions on junhun havent changed at all im still going to be here throwing things at you guys#anyway one of the thoughts ive been playing with is like. gi-huns pov in falling for jun-ho#because i often discuss jun-ho being enamored with him and put them in situations that reflect as such#but not so much gi-hun? not intentional i just forget people cant peer inside my head and see what im thinkin#but for him its obviously something more slower. gradual#a subtle descent. doesnt even realize where he is til hes too far down to climb out#just that consistency from jun-ho and the way he buries under his skin#its something gi-hun has in his life that becomes something that he likes in his life#that he. WANTS in his life#wanting something unrelated to the games for the first time in years#and its absolutely terrifying#not art#yapping tag#boyfriend suggested junhun coparenting jun-hees baby au to me earlier and its been doing some terrible shit to my brain#and because im me of fucking course it contains fucked up things and nonlinear healing#and slightly toxic codependent junhun. WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT IT THOUGH

I can always tell when it's the 7th or 17th of a month because my queue starts giving me All Purple Posts, due to my scheduling my posts based on my synesthesia. pro tip! 9 is red so the 9th of the month usually gets the red posts
#Robin speaks#God gave me a brain that wired itself with the ability to know what day it is by what color my posts are#and I'm Not going to deny that power#I could tell you the color of every number but I won't subject you to that. some of them are more vibrant and/or beautiful though#so the 13th rarely gets many scheduled posts—not because it's an unlucky number (it's not) but because it's ugly. gray and dull pink.#whereas 14 is the most subtle lovely and attractive brown-grey like a lichened stump and gets lots of posts#oh yeah hi I'm back!! <3

Jason, especially in that one Teen Titans comic, often complains about the lack of pants he has. And I'm haunted thinking about that at all times
#he clearer wanted to have pants. or at the very least. something more suited for cold environments#boy was in the fucking arctic. pantless. and then teased for asking how wonder woman wasnt cold. he cant catch a break 😔#its just so weird. so wild#im not sayijg. entirely. that bruce was forcing jason to have the same costume as dick with no changes for him#but also.#he was. like he was clearly stated in comics to be doing that with thw whole#makikg him go by robin making him wear the robin costume saying he is robin now. not acknowledging him as like a different robin#no villains really pointed out. only harvey bullock did. i miss harvey bullock so bad#like. its more of a subtle hes not allowed to change it. where i dont think he really thinks he can ask#wpuld jason habe been able to get pants if he directly asked? well.#i want to give bruce the benefit of the doubt and say yes#lets just say that#amd obviously this changed with tim#probably bc the writers wanted to steer clearer of making a possible dick clone or copy#but like in universe#bruce either realized making your kid dress uo as your other kid is kinda fucked. wanted tim to have more protection#couldn't stand tim looking like jason. or tim was firmer in getting a new suit where jason was more passive about for many possible reasons#or something else. who knows. its all up to you#he doesn't even have like a winter suit or something. dang. bruce you're a million billionaire or whatever#you can afford fancy heaters in both suits but you cant make robin some spare pants. he was in the arctic.#i dont careee they were just walking to the fortress which was warm. he had no pants OR long sleeves#when jason was left to his own devices to make his own suit he had covered legs and arms. the shorts is not whats in his heart#why DONT they have winter or colder weather outfits huh.#i can forgive the robin uniform because yknow running around working out working up a sweat#but my disbelief can only be suspended so far#when snows involved i simply cannot accept it#but thats leaning away from canon and more going into “if i could whatever i wanted and redesign them to be vaguely more practical”

@hasarjunadoneanythingwrong replied ; this is super informative tbh
/ Thank youuuuu 😭😭😭😭😭 I love him lots and there's so little about him floating around !! it was through my researching and reading that i kept finding things that made sense to me about his design, like maybe a lot of these are speculations from my end/overthinking stuff and it's not that deep (or maybe it is who knows!) but I just love history and character design and symbolism and meaning, and I grew too attached to this emperor 😔✋
#;ooc#ooc#if someone for whatever reason (?)ever comes and tells me he looks like some random guy i will jump powerranger style and show them that🤓☝️#I LOVE SYMBOLISM AND SUBTLE REFERENCES IN CHARACTER DESIGNNNN EGHERAAAAAGHHHHHHHH#also the fact that obviously f.ate is a game not meant to accurately and perfectly represent historical and/or mythological figures as well#but putting the obvious to the side i love dissecting their designs; whether they have subtle elements or are based more on symbolism#such as seeking to represent a concept#like a.rthur/a.rtoria or a.rash or g.il#that dont necesarily have very string historical/myth referenced but#their designs work in the sense that they do convey a concept which can clearly be interpreted by quick glance#when you see a.rtoria or a.rthur; you instantly would think 'oh this character must be a knight or a king'#so even if its not too visible on their designs itself that they are king arthur; they do convey this feeling of a knight or a king#the usage of the color blue too;; as in a noble and trust worthy color#or g.il going all golden; it tells u 'oh this guy must be rich!' like maybe you dont recognize who he is#but his design tells you something#and i think both types are wonderful; both ways of tackling a chatacter can make iconic designs#what hit me at first with m.octezuma was the color palette; yellow and black which i felt is def a reference to t.ezcatlipoca#and the fact their jaguar suits are so similar too; like you could tell from that point tht there might me more to him than#what one can see from a first glance#i think he was pretty underutilized in the lb but i hold him carefully in my hands;;#anywyas wanted to used this post to tell u that i love ur juna posts & art🫡🫡🫡 bombastic content 👏 (all that is a.rjuna)#would have tot added the links for the references too but there were a lot O#*but i dont want to just talk about his design through the ties it has to t.ezcatlipoca bc obviously (and as noted) theres a buuuunch more#he is his own character yes yes#;dl

Hi quick question. Um. Forked tongues while making out...long forked tongues while making out...I forgot my question -
#toast talks#I was having a thought but Eclair took over and inmediately had to go hide her face cause she started thinking too much -#I was talking to Nick about it earlier but I do believe that Neuv hides a lot of his more draconic traits like scales and fins#also his hands because I am a ''hands of the primordial sea'' truther#but there are some traits that he just doesn't bother to hide that much because they aren't that noticeable (except his horns LOL)#whole post on pause. I thought too hard about them making out and Eclair havibg to hold onto Neuvillette because#because the slight prick of his fangs and the two halves of his tongue against hers is making her lashes flutter and her head swim#and he's observing every movement every hitched breath every soft and subtle moan that she lets out and is taking them all in so greedily...#BYE I WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MAKING THIS POST GOOD BYE#eclairette

oh me? yeah i'm a viren-callum parallels enjoyer
#it was just red#snake boi callum#mine#the dragon prince#tdp#like listen. tdp is 'characters parallel each other: the show'#and there are many characters with their parallels#ez&rayla. rayla&soren. karim&viren#etc etc. everybody parallels each other at least a lil#more so in some cases#viren is like. callum's personal deuteragonist.#they have more parallels (framing lines arcs) than any other pair or trio in the show#and that's [game grumps voice] on Pawpose#like the show and esp arc 2 did not have to go this hard#bc arc 1 has a ton but it's so much more subtle!! a consistent background element#arc 2 is like. getting casual viewers up to speed and beating them over the head with it#it's glorious
