where did my vamp babies go :(

They're still chilling :]

On a slightly more serious note; I've been very busy and stressed lately and sooo much has happened (irl) in the last few months.

I still adore Adventure Time and I still love this au, but it's not my main focus art-wise. I'll still doodle and post it from time to time, they still exist and I'm not abandoning them- They're just not my main thing :p

Edit: can't believe I need to add this here because jfc- this is NOT a ship post

[patito-oward]

Can you write pato x reader where the reader’s family just really loves him and is always hinting at him to propose and it’s just super sweet

I didn’t die, I’ve just been sooo busy with work and school, but things are beginning to slow down. At the very least I’m on vacation for a week around Thanksgiving and will write a lot then.

You’ve known Pato for about as long as you can remember. Your brother grew up karting against him and you were best friends with Elba. The siblings of those who carted together were pretty close, all traveling to the same races and hanging out with each other there.

Even though you were only a year older than him, Pato was always just Elba’s little brother to you, and then he started moving around Latin America and Europe and your brother stayed in North America. That was until he started racing for the Mazda Road to Indy and you started to realize how much he’d grown up, both of you had, but he was so different now. You saw him a lot while there with your brother, and you began to spend more and more time with him. Before you knew it you were falling hopelessly for him.

You’d now been together for over five years, and everything is as perfect as possible. Beside Pato being an incredible racer and the most perfect boyfriend, he’s extremely close with your family.

Him and your brother ended up becoming a rookie in Indy the same year as Pato, and the three of you would travel to all of the races together. When you would go to dinner at your parents, they absolutely doted on him every minute of the day. If he’d won a race recently your mom would have a celebration desert waiting for him, and your dad would always tell him he wants no one else for his daughter.

Your younger cousins all loved him, making him play soccer with them for hours.

When you’re at a family reunion your family can’t get enough of him. He’s just barely gotten to sit down from playing with your cousins when your aunts and uncles begin bombarding him. Asking when he’s going to propose, and when you’ll start a family of your own. You smile to yourself as he gets flustered by the question, turning red in the face.

As he tries to laugh the questions off, and desperately searches for a new topic, you look down at your hands in your lap and begin to play with the ring on your right hand. It feels weird there, you’ve already grown accustomed to its spot on your left hand. You see a faint tan line where your fourth finger meets the knuckle, probably from the week you spent at Punta De Mita right after he proposed.

You decided to put him out of his misery. Switching your ring to its rightful spot and holding up your hand, “He actually proposed last week.”

Your family erupts into cheers and immediately begins hugging both of you, saying they’re so excited he’ll officially be part of the family.

from the inbox, #13

Here’s another ask from our inbox that gets a special treatment. You can find previous From The Inbox posts here. 

Hi! Im looking for a very specific type of fic and would greatly appreciate your help to see if there are any out like this. Its Cas approaching dean with his feelings but dean gently rejects him (could be post canon) and then dean getting insanely jealous when cas interacts with an prospective individual (or when cas starts dating?) Thank you so much!! Ive literally been through so many tags but the situation is so specific it doesnt come up. The only fics that fit this is one fic by sobsicles and in the shadow of your wings.

As I was going through our #supernatural tag to look for fics with this very specific scenario in mind, I came across our previous from the inbox #7 post. Several fics on this post are really close to your requirements but it's not easy to see that. Here they are with some extra comments.

Return to Sender Address Unknown by gedry - one of the oldest fics with fallen Cas, posted during season 5; this is a perfect fit - Cas confesses his feelings and Dean gently lets him down; then life happens.

This Story Was Brought To You By Our Sponsors by scaramouche  - alternate season 5 ending. Dean didn't think that that THING between them was serious, and now Cas is gone and Dean has regrets

My heart is beating from me by Enochian Things  - season 9, fallen Cas has moved out of the bunker and is getting married. Dean is invited.

Things that Leave Marks by thestoryinsideme - season 9, fallen Cas has learned to live independently, now Dean has to catch up.

In Your Sweet Little Bungalow by annodominique - after Sam dies, fallen Cas is building his life independently, then Dean comes for a visit.

Fics mentioned in the ask:

In the Shadow of your Wings by Enochian Things (Salr323) [M, 57,300 word count]

Dean drains his bottle of beer, sets it on the table and gets up, heading for the kitchen. Maybe to fetch another, maybe to leave. But Castiel doesn’t want him to go, doesn’t want to leave this conversation unfinished; he remembers his regret of just a few hours ago, that Dean had never known how he loved him. “Wait,” he says and gets to his feet as Dean passes by. They’re standing close – close enough that Castiel can feel the heat of Dean’s body, the vibrancy of his soul brushing against his grace. “Dean, I have to tell you something...” Set after the S11 finale.

things happen (they do, they do, and they do) by sobsicles [NC-17, 28,000 word count]

So, the first thing that happens is Castiel comes back. "Right," Dean says eventually, gruffly. He looks down at his shoes. "I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, man. It's—you know, yours. Do your thing, love who you love, whatever. I can't really stop you from loving me, if that's what you've decided to do, but I don't—I can't—" "I know," Castiel murmurs, still just smiling a little, not looking heartbroken at all. "Don't worry about it, Dean, that's all I ask." "So we're—" Dean risks a glance up, swallowing thickly. "We're good?" Castiel hums. "We're good."

If our followers know a fic that fits this ask, let us know!

Here's some suggestions by @rayraywillis!

An Old Feeling by Orphan_account [T, 1,800 word count]

Castiel thinks Dean will never love him back so he decides to try and move on. Cue jealous!Dean and confessions galore.

Idiot by WanderUntilLost [T. 3,700 word count]

Set after 15.03. Cas left, deciding it was time to move on for him. Dean spirals in the aftermath.

Move On by Halevetica [NR, 9,300 word count]

Dean and Sam haven't seen Cas in weeks. Not since the angel declared it was time for him to move on. However, the brother's run into Cas on a hunt, but he's not alone. Dean struggles to find the words that will undo the damage he's done. He just hopes it's not too late.

Are you doing Art Requests still? if so Duck and Hiro please?

What he yapping about

[thedamnedlamb]

May we know some wholesome fluff about leshy and the lamb

I now have stable WiFi connection

Previous post has most wholesome Leshy lamb content

But I’ll add on more here for the Leshy plush

Leshy made the plush of himself when he and the Lamb were still small and before Hekets and Kallamars death. So when their relationship was still rather new and they both were new to being crown bearers.

Big part of this AU! Leshy is a good bit younger in this au. Being a new crown bearer right when he gets his eye ripped out by Narinder. New crown bearers take a long time to age and get tall like the canon bishops. So Leshy and the Lamb are closer in age as crown bearers than Leshy is with his siblings. A thousand years is a short amount of time in the eyes of a God. So Leshy had little to nothing to do with the Lamb species genocide in this AU, he was busy being a angsty god child

Leshy’s first loyal disciple is his canonical witness when killed in game (can’t remember name off the top of my head), who basically raises Leshy while the other Bishops go insane over a prophecy

Hey :)

A while ago I was wondering where all the Denethor girlies are considering his description in the books. But here you are!

Have a wonderful day fellow Gondorian 🤍

ur the funniest person on planet earth. hey he is canonically stunningly beautiful and has bizarre psychic powers and is possibly the mentally strongest guy on earth in a thousand years AND is in a tragic myth partially of his own writing WHERE are his bitches. and ur right. or at least this is how i read ur statement in my head. yeah im thinking about him every hour of the day. if i had a nickel for every time i missed my train stop while writing a post i would have three nickels. which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened THREE TIMES. i hope ur day is also wonderful<333

[mylittleponyauprompts]

Does shining armor fall for the babysitter or the draconequus

I'm guessing for the most recent prompt where Discord and Cadence swap places. And that is the fun with prompts, it could be either way! Or even both!

I like the idea of Shining Armor, the definition of just some guy, somehow having two gods fall in love with him. And he is just like, well i have two hooves and room in my heart for both of them! Babysitter Discord and Draconequis Cadence share a husband, good thing they're all poly!

Somewhat off topic, I can see a Twilight Sparkle raised by Discord being a mad scientist of a unicorn. Celestia's probably going "oh no two of them" Twilight probably has a similar personality to Rainbow Dash but make it Mad scientist instead of jock/sportsman

[scenicphoenix]

Imagine that the sages were first curious why Zelda likes hanging out with link so much and the first thing link says to them is something adorable mixed with kinda dumb for example with sidon after he talks and does the whole give a ghost looking version of him then link says 'does that mean u can feel when I hug it?'. Ur thoughts?

I think the past sages might be curious about Zelda’s closeness to Link, and why she trusts him so deeply. Why trust this one skinny looking guy with the world’s fate. And then they meet him through the future sages and understand why Zelda trusts him so deeply. He takes his job seriously, he’s incredibly loyal, he’s exceptionally skilled. And he’s a sweetheart. I am certain he asked if Sidon could feel a hug through his sage ghost, and even tested it just to see for himself. He loves his friends deeply. I think that the past sages understood immediately why Zelda trusted Link with her life upon first meeting him through the sage realm they have and his seriousness about everything. And then saw him as more his sweetheart self once his business face was off and went ah he’s not just a knight to her, he’s a partner and second hand. Perhaps even more, look at that dummy go save hyrule

[hellowyn-llewellyn]

what if instead of louie your name was pooey

why did you ask this penosh ? Actually one time at work a kid asked my name and I said Lulu to which he very loudly pointed and yelled “POOPOO !?” back and then he punched me in the chest and called me a dumb bitch. I went to hide from him behind the register and felt safe until i heard “POOPOO I FOUND YOU” and then my manager said “awww what a cute kid :D” and gave him a lollipop. Completely unaware of the horrors I had just endured.

[phantom-shell]

I MISS TRAUMATIZED FINN WITH RIVAL GAY MOMS 😭😭😭

Dw they're chilling :]

Also they don't really have a "moms and son" dynamic, It's not parental for them (maybe it's a tiny bit parental for Bonnie because she saw him grow up)

But it's more like a "Holy fuck, this situationship is crazyyyy also why is there a little boy here" kind of dynamic

[simulation-machine]

Get attacked!! ✨🌈SEND THIS TO OTHER BLOGGERS YOU THINK ARE WONDERFUL. KEEP THE GAME GOING🌈✨

I know you've got a bunch going on right now but let's be honest, that cc purge was next level epic! Can't wait to catch up with the Orson's when time allows

AAAAA: 1) This was so sweet, thank you!

2) Friggin', right? Hands down the most dramatic CC purge + EA update unfucking I have ever had to deal with to date. I do still have drafts about how I did this and what programs/methods I used, and definitely plan to post that 3) ME THREEEEEE. I was looking over some screenshots just to see if I have any I hadn't posted yet and it made me miss the Orsons so much. It also helps that it's in that sweet spot of a legacy challenge where both the previous generation heir and the current heir are alive at the same time and both are still genuinely interesting to play! It's funny that I was talking about taking a break from them

if art request are still open, Oliver and Douglas but holding hands

They're actually pretty adorable ngl

[radinclus-not-radqueer]

PLEASE give the gosip on safetypinz i hate their guts

I won't give out any personal details (like accounts or anything) but here are some of what I've seen (although I've never spoken to them, I used to be in servers with them):

They're really fucking weird and gross. Like, constantly posting unsanitary shit untagged. I think they have paraphilias related to that stuff which is the excuse I've seen them use?? But yeah they'd post really gross shit untagged and unprompted, which made a lot of people uncomfortable

I'm not going to immediately jump to "they're a faker!!", but they claim to have self-diagnosed ASPD despite having stated that they fit basically none of the symptoms (I remember them saying something like "I'm an asshole because of my ASPD", so I think that's why they say they have it? because they think all pwASPD are assholes??). I know a couple people who have ASPD and safetypinz shows none of the symptoms they experience, even things as basic as feeling no empathy and having little to no emotion (from what safetypinz has said, they don't fit either of those basic criteria). I won't say they're faking, but... There's definitely something not right going on here (even if it's just as basic as them not understanding what the actual criteria for the disorder is)

They're pro-transnazi, and claim that because they have Jewish ancestry they have the authority on this (even though they're aren't a practicing Jew and don't know anything about the culture nor do they know any other Jewish people and that even a lot of the radqueer community disagrees with transnazis)

Not to mention the constant posting of cutesy emojis with captions like "mother-daughter consang <3333" - not only supporting incest, but also supporting child grooming too. Wow!

And also them claiming that torture and abuse... isn't traumatizing. Which they base off of pseudomemories/exomemories - which were only brought up to say "well actually I went through this and it wasn't traumatizing, so actually if someone says they aren't traumatized then you're a horrible person for disagreeing and wanting them to recover!", outright supporting people being denied help because they "aren't actually traumatized" or because they're in denial about their trauma

They're super pro-c, pro-incest, pro-"race/age/neurotype transitioning", and shit like that. The "kandiqueer" in the tags wasn't lying - they're absolutely awful. They're besties with someone who's "dating" a dog, although idk if safetypinz themselves is a pro-c zoo (considering they have "zeta", a well know pro-c zoo term, in their username... I wouldn't be surprised)

They're one of those "cripplepunk is for physically abled people too" people as well - so even more ableist. I'm pretty sure they even harassed and attacked someone because that person said cripplepunk was only for physically disabled people

There's definitely more that I either haven't seen, was done before I became radqueer, or was done after I left. If anyone has anything they'd like to add, feel free to share!

[thedamnedlamb]

Certainly a glitch lol.

They’re not just glitching my game anymore they are glitching peoples wifi connections

[afaramir]

elrond and elros and earendil [hamilton voice] and faramir! i must know about this!!!!!

oh man a concept that puts my brain cells in a claw machine… (@sweetshire asked about this one too so ria this is 4 u as well<3) i knew i was gonna be building to this scene the whole time from the moment faramir crossed the borders of rivendell and i hope i executed it well. i locked onto eldritch numenoreans as a concept so intensely and it’s just so important to me that not only are they obviously strange but they LOOK weird as fuck. like no that isn’t quite an elf but they’re DEFINITELY not some normal guy. so faramir sees elrond for the first time and he sees elros, preserved through time. and elrond sees faramir and he sees elros in his face and it breaks his fucking heart! :). and also faramir has dreamt of numenor all his life right. and elros was the first king of numenor...who followed the light of gil-estel the north star to find his promised land...and who carries that star...earendil his father.......YOU KNOW??? it makes me feel crazy. like that is a literal real connection that they all have.

the air seems to shimmer about him as he turns, the light radiating from his very skin, star-like even in the bright sunlight. faramir raises his head, prepares to meet the lord with all the reverence he knows. and then he sees his face, and all his breath leaves him in an instant. he knows this face. has known it all his life, as close to his as any kin. its carven gaze stares down from a hundred statues in minas tirith, and chief of them all the face of the steward, as it had been in faramir’s youth, now so distant of a memory. dark-haired, grey-eyed, noble and kind and true. the echo of a choice made thousands of years ago. elros tar-minyatur brought to life. “my lord elrond,” he says, through a mouth dry as the desert. drops to a knee, overcome. ever since he had stepped past the borders of this land he has walked through his most beloved legends, and yet his mind now cannot believe what he sees. here now is the scion of gil-estel, the one son of that star who will endure past the breaking of the world. and faramir is only the most distant of relations but in this moment he is as númenórean as he has ever been. time and space and the changing of the world separate him from the sons of eärendil, yet all this time he has followed in the footsteps of his greatest forebear, seeking starwards.

this is also very like…dont worry professor tolkien i saw that everyone you think is hot looks exactly like your wife. dont worry i ALSO think they’re hot. u can rest now.gif.

“we remember the first king of númenor, in gondor,” says faramir softly. “there are fewer, now, who know the old tales. but elros tar-minyatur will be last to be forgotten, ere the white city fall and the world end.” a gentle smile blooms across the lord elrond’s face. he does not weep, but in the lines of his face lies a sorrow so large and ancient that faramir can hardly conceive of it. “i do you no more honour than you deserve. i did not think to look to the stewards of gondor, to steward my brother’s memory. now i see that i have long been mistaken. the memory of númenor yet lives on in the men of the south.” “my lord,” is all faramir can think to say. he had not thought he would find so many reminders of home, so far from it, in this land where there truly are none like him. or so he had believed. he will never know tar-minyatur and yet something of that lord of legend lives on in him. when he looks far enough into the grey horizon, into times and futures that have not yet come to pass, there is a part of him that looks through those ancient eyes. the first king of númenor lives on in the streets of gondor, in the quiet of the standing silence, in the tales of the West passed first from his father to himself, and then from him to his men, weaving stories late into the night in the glow of the fire. yet of his brother he knows little, and he is nothing like he had imagined. he had expected distant, remote lordship, not untouchable like a statue but untouchable like a star. gil-estel, after all, shines cold and bright each night over ithilien. to be the immortal scion of the north star - it is a burden that could freeze any heart. yet in the scant time they have stood here, around the lord elrond’s feet, flowers have begun to grow.

its also like an Elrond Learning Moment. the blood of numenor is spent situation at the council in the book versus what i, PERSONALLY, know about the blood of numenor being alive and fucking well is always soooo....elrond i Love You but that was a pretty crazy thing to say. and now here he is realizing and acknowledging and reevaluating his biases. yeah this is my i am fixing something about canon moment. i just think elrond and faramir should Understand Each Other.
