#I actually drew a comic guys are you proud of me

[lilybug-02]

What inspired you to make the Chara Timeline?

A LOT!

Since High school I've enjoyed the idea of storytelling through comics and art. But my main inspiration has been through the Undertale and Deltarune community. You can imagine I wanted to be as cool as the UT/DR artists were. I've made my fair share of comics in this community. But I never had much attention and I never finished them.

So when Deltarune chapter 2 came out, I figured I should draw some fanart... because I wanted to be included.

It was weird to me that from all the comics I had seen with Deltarune, that there was AT MAX 1-2 mini comics that had humans in them. (other than just the KFC hanging out). I figured it was an untapped market >:) plus, I thought it was a fun idea to have Kris meet another human. AND and I thought the idea of "Humans getting regularly possessed by gamers" was absolutely hilarious!

So I drew up my finest sketch (at the time I was extremely proud of it) and at the last minute I decided to change the Human's name to Chara, because why not.

And for some reason it got more than 30 likes?! Huh?! And people were actually commenting? Saying "I'm interested in seeing more". I was not planning on making more, but my ego was sky high and I truly appreciated the love and support. So I made another...and another...and OH gosh this was gonna be a comic wasn't it.

And uhhhhhh....I hope that answered some of the question!

it's even more insane that lynxgriffin knows of my work. YA KNOW lynxgriffin- one of the best comic artists. LIKE YOU GUYS DO NOT UNDERSTAND. I LOOK UP TO THEM SO MUCH. LIKE OH MY GOD IT STILL GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS.

[wazzappp]

I drew. a lot for this. Also heads up for non RE mutuals this is going to be. confusing for you. I'm going to do my best to annotate and provide context but you are in for a wild ride.

Anyway long ass lore post for how Lisa and Robbie go from fighting to working together in this AU.

In the RE8 cannon all of the Dimitrescu daughters are made at the same time but for the sake of ✨the situations✨ I am going to change that. Lisa lived the longest as a human before being assimilated into the mold with a Cadou (infecting extension of the Megamycite). Technically her 'sisters' are older than her, as they were assimilated a while ago. Lisa has been a member of house Dimitrescu for about 2 years now. This puts her in this. Weird middle child zone. She wants to make her 'family' proud but she's also aware that what makes them proud isn't really the most achievable thing in the world (expecially with Bela to contend with. Older sibling overachiever to the maximum). She's got a certain degree of distance from them and sometimes wonders if she wasn't better off before all of this. Her memories are fuzzy but still there for the most part. She cant remember faces or names but she remembers feelings and situations. She doesen't remember families being like this (she wants OUT).

Chasing prey brought in is fairly standard for her. It's some of the only entertainment she gets. So when she catches Robbie exploring around the castle she has no idea that he's special in any way. He's just some new guy she gets to mess with before eating and DAMN he's FUN. If she didn't know any better she could almost think that he has experience being chased around (he does. he very much so does. all of RE7's worth). What she ALSO doesn't know is that Mother Miranda (big bad. Different from Lady Dimitrescu, who she refers to as 'mother') is planning on using Gabe (who is replacing baby Rose in this) to try and resurrect her dead kid with a 'perfect vessel' and this requires. uh. disassembly (in the base RE8 gameplay the reason Ethan goes to each house is because uhhhhhhhh his infant daughter has been dismembered and stored in jars and he needs to collect them so he can put her back together.... yeah). Robbie intervenes before this can get going and is instead going house to house because if he wants to get out of this stupid fuckass villiage he needs to collect the key components to unlock the gate keeping him in here (i need him to have a reason. to kill everyone. its important to me ok).

When Lisa finds out this random, but fun guy, she's been chasing who she thought was JUST SOME NORMAL GUY killed one of her sisters she mentally goes 'Oh. OH. THERES A CHANCE FOR ME TO GET OUT OF HERE'. That in conjunction with discovering Mother Miranda is planning on FULLY DISMEMBERING A CHILD she uh. Makes some decisions.

What you have to understand about her plans of matricide is that neither Lady Dimitrescu or her sisters can actually really fully die. Sure, their bodies are gone, but their consciousness is stored in the hive mind and they can reform later after gathering their strength. If she has to put her kinda shitty found family in time out for the sake of getting herself out of here + keeping her newly revived conscience clean she's absolutely going to do it.

(fuckin. backgrounds. dialogue. fuck. why can things not just take place inside of the void. DUKE MY BELOVED WE LOVE AND RESPECT DUKE IN THIS HOUSE HES A REAL ONE fuck now I got it in my head that he keeps trying to play matchmaker for them and i need to. go draw that because its too funny not to.)

Lisas plan involves this lab I had her mention in the comic above. It's where Robbie needs to go to synthesize more poison for the dagger of deaths flowers, and SUPPOSEDLY where a medicine that might allow her to go outside again might be (enemies of Lisas type become SIGNIFICANTLY weaker in the cold. She could try to bundle up but its still really not a good idea). She would love to go there herself, but it's in an area of the castle thats exposed to the cold of the outdoors.

The Two of them make a fairly decent team and Lisa finds herself having a LOT more fun hunting with someone else than she does on her own. They balance each other out pretty well; Robbie works primarily with guns so he can watch Lisas back while she's up close wrecking any grunts they run into. It's also pretty helpful having someone who can turn into a swarm of flies for puzzle solving purposes.

After all this Robbies trust for her increases SIGNIFICANTLY. He's still not really sure about her, but she's moved out of the 'active threat' classification into the 'kinda helpful' zone.

Lisa's plan has three ways it could go:

They all fail miserably and get sent to mental and physical time out in the megamycite.

They win and get to go free but either the medicine isn't there or it doesen't work. In which case she's just planning on getting as many coats as possible and Try-or-Die-ing it.

The medicine is there and she actually gets to roam free

Luckily for her, the medicine IS there, it DOES work, and Robbies sense of honor / noticing her usefulness (its hard to wage a one man war on an entire community of mutants ok you cant blame him for appreciating having some ACTUAL HELP for once) all align for the best possible scenario.

The cold does still affect her; her healing isn't as quick as it usually is and her increased strength / speed is a bit reduced, but she can go!! outside!!

She decided to stick with Robbie in getting out of the village as a whole. She doesen't really know what the world outside is like but anything has to be better than here (plus if she stays here she's probably getting shoved into the Megamycite by Mother Miranda PERMENANTLY and that just. wont do).

Also yes Lisa being with Robbie for the rest of his adventures means that she is there for Heisenbergs 'proposal'. She uh. Does not like that much.

this all made. more sense in my head I hope it at least makes a little sense out loud.

Hi!! can you do a sort of angst/fluff where the reader and joshua like eachother a lot but the reader always rejects joshua because they're scared to be dating someone who's an idol.

Thank you so much!! even if you don't write it, i still appreciate all you do and all the fix's you write 💕

this one was a little more complicated to write, but somehow i got carried away... so i hope you like it!

pairing: joshua x fem!reader genre:  angst word count: 1.4k warnings: cursing

a/n: not proofread

requests are open

Staring at the TV ahead of you, watching Joshua give his first ment of the concert, you couldn’t help but feel a little proud of him. His smile was so bright, his voice so kind as he talked with his members and the fans. Looking at him, even if it was through a screen, made your heartache in the worst possible way. 

He had invited you to the concert, promised you that no one would ever find out about you attending.  Realistically, you knew that no one would recognize you, that you could pass by as just any other fan in the venue. Yet, you couldn't really bring yourself to be there. 

If you attended their concert you knew that something was bound to change. It was a change you desperately wanted, desired, and longed for but one you'd never allow yourself to have.

Even if you didn't mean to, your mind went back to the last time you saw Joshua.

It was the weeks before, he called you as soon as he left practice, asking if he could drop by because he wanted to talk with you. Please, it's important. You were never able to say no to Joshua, from the moment you met him. Because it was him, but also because Joshua was the kind of person who only really asked for things when he really needed them. So if he called you, you'd always take his call no matter what you were doing or who you were with.

Less than half an hour later Joshua arrived, pressing the password on your door and letting himself in. Even if he knew your code, he always called first to make sure that you were home and if seeing was something him was you wanted. He was surprised when you took his call and when you said yes to his request. 

You had been avoiding him, like the man was the plague. And he knew that he was to blame for it. He pushed too hard, too fast, too far. But at the same time, Joshua was also tired of this game the two of you played, one in which both of you were losers. 

"I'm sorry, I know it's late. But I really wanted to see you" 

Joshua kissed your cheek, his lips staying against your skin far longer than necessary but not nearly long enough. When he wasn't around the one thing you wanted the most was to be near him, to hear his voice, his laugh. You wanted Joshua in all ways possible. You had been in love with him the moment you met him. It was almost comical, how quickly you had fallen for him, especially considering how you said you didn't believe someone could fall in love after just one meeting. 

"I really missed you" he said "I texted you but never got an answer, so I got worried" 

While Joshua wasn't the kind of guy who liked texting, God knew how many unanswered texts were on his phone, he always made an effort for you. And because of that you always felt like your relationship with him was different.

"I've been busy, haven't checked my phone in days, actually"

It wasn't a complete lie. Your phone, your personal one, was one you barely used. You bought it mostly to keep your work life and private life separated. Work had been taking up most of your life, so your phone wasn't something you gave a lot of attention to. But you had seen Joshua's texts in the notification bar. hey, is everything okay?, the first one said, call me when you can, followed by, if you're not busy, can we have dinner tomorrow? The tomorrow he mentioned was two nights before. His texts were still to be read. 

"I know, that's why I got worried" 

He sat in front of you on the couch, holding your hands while this thumb lightly drew patterns on your palms. He had the same expression from the first time you saw him, calm and serene, calming in a way. But you knew better at this point. His beautiful eyes had a pinch of worry and tiredness in them — maybe from the long hours of practice before a concert, or because of the whole situation between you and him.

"I came to invite you to the concert. The guys miss you being around too. They would be very happy if you attended"

You were already shaking your head before he was done speaking. Joshua saw it as a win though, the fact you didn't pull your hands away from him, refusing his touch.

"You know I can't go"

"No one will know you're there, I promise. I know it's not ideal, and not as much fun, but you can watch it from backstage. If someone does see you, they'll just think of you as part of the staff"

He had such hopeful eyes. You know that he thought that it was a good idea, a plan that couldn't possibly fail because he, as well as everyone else, would do their best to hide you and protect you. 

"I don't want to hide, Joshua" you felt his hand go cold, so you took them into yours for a change "I don't want to make your life difficult. I don't want you to choose between me and the life you built for the past eleven years. I won't make you choose between me and your brothers, your family. I can't let you do that"

It was his turn to shake his head.

"Who says I have to choose?"

"You can't have it all Joshua, the career and everything else. At least, not in this country"

For the first time, since the two of you started this sort of dance, Joshua pulled away from you. 

"I don't understand why you keep doing this. Everyone dates, some of the guys are dating right now. And I know you feel the same as me. So why do you keep pushing me away?"

"Because I am scared!" you screamed "I have seen what it does to people, having their relationship exposed. I don't want to see people talking about you like you committed a crime, demanding your expulsion of seventeen, sending you death threats. I  don't to expose my family to this, myself too"

He shook his head, passing your small living room. Two steps was all it took for him to cross it. You loved having him around, how your tiny boring apartment was suddenly full of life when he was around. Even in moments such as that, when the conservation was taking a turn for the worst he brought so much life to the plain walls. Both of you stayed in silence, thinking of what to say next. Joshua wondered what he should say to make you change your mind, while you wanted him to understand where you were coming from, that in your decision was also the love you felt for him.

"Shua" you whispered, finally standing up "I need you to listen to me, okay?"

You felt your body contract in pain at the sight of his eyes filled with tears, just like yours. You took his face into your hands, to make sure that he wouldn’t miss a single word of what you were saying. Not that you needed to. Joshua always paid attention to you, listened to every single thing you had to say.

"I love you so, so, so much. This is the kind of feeling I only ever read about, that I always deemed impossible. And then you came around, with your beautiful eyes and kind smile. You gave me so much. In you, I found love, friendship, a home. You shared your life with me, your brothers. Everything that's precious to you, you gave me a little bit. But I will never do anything to hurt that, anything that could take those things away from you"

You stood on your tiptoes and pulled his face close to yours, kissing his lips for the first and last time.

"Shit" you pushed your tears away, blinking rapidly. The loud cheers of the fans, indicating the start of the next song, were enough to bring you back. 

You knew you shouldn't be watching the concert, but you couldn't bring yourself to stop. From that night on, all you'd have of Joshua would be memories and dreams of a life that you could never have.

remembering why I don't like comics but @letsdrawcastiel's winter Cas prompt demanded this of me

I was originally just gonna have that first panel (Cas making cookies while Dean monitors him with a fire extinguisher on hand) which is why that's the only one with an actual background but idk I wanted to draw Sam's sweater as well so I kinda drew him in and somehow this became a comic and I just spent the past idk year or something coloring and shading and I cannot wait to pass out ten minutes from now let me tell you

also fun fact but Sam's face in the fourth panel was actually just the scribbled in in-progress expression I threw on to remember what face I wanted him to make. I just thought it was amazing so I kept it in

I don't think I expressed this very well but the cookies are kinda burnt. not nearly as bad as the first batch off to the side in the first panel is but enough that they're pretty unappetizing. Dean's just daring Sam to mention it but ofc Sam's too nice to do anything but grin and bear it. at least these ones are better than the first batch

also way too proud of actually making furniture that looks like furniture look guys you can tell the oven is an oven ahahdbdjdhgdhb (though idk what that thing beside it is, I just looked at pictures of the Bunker kitchen and based it on that though I couldn't get anything at this same weird angle so if anything looks weird, that's on me)

the outfits are based on this comic I made forever ago back when I apparently named my comics. not sure when I stopped doing that but oh well

I forgot to say it yesterday but HAPPY NEW YEAR!! <3

Also, thank you A LOT for all the support in 2023. I wasn't sure if posting on Tumblr again was a good idea, but it surely was. I would never expect all the support and nice tags and asks! I'm very thankful for all of that!

Here's a doodle of my fursona too:

Bigger text from Instagram:

Happy new year!! Last drawing of the year is my fursona so you guys don't forget I'm a furry~

But seriously, I mostly drew this so I could write another cheesy caption and thank you all for being with me for another year! I surely would be a different person if not for all the support you guys give me daily. I never imagined I would still been posting until now. Points for me for not giving up yet ig.

I'm not as emotional as I usually am this time of the year, but what I can say is that this year wasn't... That bad? It's a surprise to me as well, because I started it feeling very, very bad and having many thought about how useless and worthless I was. And these last months I did so much stuff I thought my anxiety would never let me do. Not exactly everything I expected, but now I know I am better than I thought, so it can be enough.

Talking about art, I'm actually proud of this part too :3 I focused so much on my OCs and became part of new fandoms that made me meet more people that now inspire me. I know I have a lot to improve still, but now it motivates me instead of the opposite.

Way better message than from last year, don't you think? But to say one negative thing: I didn't start my comic yet!! This disappoints me, so it'll go to 2024.

[dufrau]

every so often i remember that one scene from bigfoot 1.5 and giggle because its just a perfect comic relief moment because its so fucking funny. like lets unpack this:

1: just the fact that robin and nancy left very conspicuously in the middle of the pool party to very obviously go fuck

1.5: and they were loud enough that el now knows what happy screams are rip

2: max being such a gremlin teenager about it and saying "that's hot" like ok i also saw you staring at steve, miss mayfield. i love her

3: mike wanting to drown himself in embarrassment lol. like imagine if your sister just did that and you could Hear lmaooooo

4: everyone except for mike being nonchalant about it like you go girls!!! get that gay sex!!!

anyways thank you for this funny bit to help readers like me not die due to angst. like i still did actually but this was cpr

Also it was a pool party in their honor, it was sort of a little graduation/leaving for college party for them. I didn't give a lot of thought to decorations but its even funnier if we imagine there was a "Congratulations Nancy and Robin!" banner hanging somewhere.

1.5. Their entire (short) relationship to this point has been fucking in the woods or in motels where nobody knows them or in Robin's house when her parents were away in Canada experiencing Cirque du Soleil, they have never had to be quiet before. Totally unprepared for this moment tbh. Good for them good for them etc.

2. Max is right it was hot. Also Max has been repeatedly almost killed, half her body is in casts and she's blind. She doesn't give a fuck. She is just saying what's on her mind from here on out.

3. Legitimately poor Mike. And it went on for like a while too. Steve trying to sneakily raise the volume on the radio bit by bit to drown them out but its just a little boom box it only goes so loud you know? Sometimes it goes quiet for a few minutes and Mike is like "Oh thank god" but then they're just right back at it and he is back in the pool wishing he was dead. Nightmarish. I am so sorry Michael.

4. These kids have seen too much to be homophobic. Plus they're all about to be sophomores in high school which was how old Nancy was in season one, they are hormonal little monsters if anything they are probably just jealous. Besides Mike who is mortified. And Steve who's like "You missed the cake! I baked it myself and drew you guys on it in frosting! I was so proud of that cake. Max smashed Mike's face in it though that was funny I guess."

Thank you for reminding me of this scene lol I love it so much. <3<3<3

(also if you havent read this fic here it is)

Grad School Q2 - Week 0

I'm going to try this again and hopefully not get buried in homework after week 5 again because I LEARNED MY LESSON. I WILL BE PROACTIVE! I WILL NOT PROCRASTINATE!

The pre-quarter assignments were a lot of "pitch several narratives, one will become your final" stuff, which is sooooo much work, like, guys! I don't have this many stories in me just ready to go? So, all tomorrow I'm going to be out there struggling to come up with some ideas for a 24-page comic I'd theoretically want to write... just so I can not choose them lol

I came up with a short horror narrative yesterday that I'm actually proud of, but it took days of brainstorming... I think I'm just going to generate a bunch of random words and just make them into something at this point.

The only assignment that was actually drawing was anatomy (not thrilled at this being a required course), which was kind of just "draw a figure in your style and show how you built it"

So, I found the first full-body picture I saw on pinterest and drew this:

I was like, ugh, I should really do this digitally since I don't have a working scanner right now. Guess this can just be a warmup. Also, I looked at the discussion board and someone else chose a very similar pose and mine looked weak compared to theirs, so I went to TRUSTY OLD the pose archives for this one:

But, I was like, this doesn't feel like my style, ya know? It feels like a figure drawing. (I think if I had just finished it, it would have looked fine...) Nah, I decided, hey, I've drawn two men with basically the same body type. Let me draw from imagination since I totally know what a guy looks like now.

So, yay? Not a single reference used for this one! Love that I, for no good reason, made myself do this simple assignment 3 times. Now you see why I'm so slow at art. Smh.

[rise-tmnt-fan]

Okay I haven’t updated Jack crap as of recently (I mean two weeks isn’t much but it’s a lot to me and my adhd brain as of right now.

Why haven’t I posted anything well… I decided because I was editing Chapter 6 of my fanfic that I should do some art for each of the chapters. Because if it’s going to be a month late it should have something that shows that I wasn’t just procrastinating I was doing something for the fanfic as well.

Now I have 4 WIPS for that. 2 finished chapter arts.

4 Unfinished WIPS for different rottmnt AUS. And to show that I am doing something you guys get to see the WIPS AND THE FINISHED art. (Yes I have gotten better hence why it’s taking me so long to get the art the way I want to present it. Because I’ll get to the point where I’m like. OMG I LOVE THIS- and feel as if I have done everything in my power to make it look pretty then get just a little better with lighting or background or make the characters themselves look just a little bit better and I’ll repeat the cycle. 😂🤣

Here’s the art and the date it was last edited and if it’s finished or not.

Where’d The Time Go

Leo’s Character Sheet (aka the first piece of digital art I made and was proud of)

Finished?- 04/17/2023

15 hours of work

Where’d the Time Go- Comic Title page (still dunno if I will complete this one) -

Unfinished- 04/25/2023

34 hours of work

*So for this next one I was really just bored and thought of about doing a separated AU/Angsty art for fun. Coincidentally this did inspire the last unfinished/current WIP piece you will see so I will call this-

I didn’t have a clue what I was doing and just decided that I was going to draw whatever thing came to my mind first because I couldn’t fall asleep. 👍🏼

Unfinished- 04/18/2023

6 hours of work

Yes before anyone says anything- I didn’t do the chapter art in order because as soon as I try to make myself follow something my brain very defiantly laughs at me and will make me do something entire different. So whatever I feel interested in at the time will be the piece I work on. Hence why I have so many WIPS.

Please Save Me- Fanfic/Chapter Art

Chapter 1- Donnie’s Chapter Art

Unfinished- 05/01/2023

15 hours of work (so far)

Chapter 2- Raphs Chapter Art

Unfinished (truthfully this is just the base I drew nothing real special has been added on as of now)

04/26/2023

15 Minutes of work

Chapter 3- Casey Jones JR. Chapter Art

Unfinished- Again it’s the base that I drew kind of quick every piece I have done (except maybe the first one) had bases and a idea that I would use before going and doing the sketching/line work. Or anything fancy. So… yeah.

04/26/2023

10 minutes of work.

Chapter 4- Mikey’s Chapter Art

Finished?- Might redo it later but for now I love how it has turned out!

04/30/2023

6 hours of work.

Chapter 5- Leo’s Chapter Art

I worked on this for about six hours then I made a fatal error and deleted it, and while I absolutely adore IBIS Paint I have found out that I cannot recover what has been deleted as I am not a pro member. 😂🤣

Chapter 6- Donnie’s Chapter Art

Finished- Might redo this one as well but as my second finished piece I was super proud of it!

04/28/2023

12 hours of work

Okay so this next one is an AU I will definitely be dropping as I have officially started hyperfixating on it and the story!

This is a separated A.U. Where the EPF knew about the Yokai/Aliens when the turtles were created. They have located and captured many specimens to better know about these newfound species.

That’s all I’m really going to say for now. Since when I finish this overall art I’m going to release it, some character sheets, and a little of the plot!

Unfinished - 05/01/2023 - Was actually working on it till now.

4 hours of work!

Getting to Know You Tag Game

Thank you for tagging me @swampcreature!

I'll tag @luciality and @miocaroveneziano (if you guys want to/haven't done it yet). Anyone else who wants to is free as well ofc

What book are you currently reading?

I'm currently reading Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin! I knew a lot of the Targaryen lore already, but I figured I should actually get it and read it as preparation for House of the Dragon (I got it right before the show came out). I've been a little slow reading it because I've had a lot of assignments and readings this semester

What’s your favourite movie you saw in theatres this year?

Although I didn't technically see it in theatres, the answer is probably Turning Red. I also really liked Rosaline!

If we want to get picky about movies I strictly saw in a theatre, the only one I think I saw in-theatre was Baz Luhrman's Elvis, and I thought it was relatively good

What do you usually wear?

Usually a t-shirt, jeans, and a hoodie. For the winter I've got a bunch of dad sweaters.

How tall are you?

5'1

What’s your Star Sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event?

Leo! I share my birthday with Nixon's Resignation Speech and Margaret Tudor's wedding celebration

Do you go by your name or a nick-name?

IRL I go by my name, online I go by Marshy or Grammy depending on your persuasion

Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child?

Definitely not. My ideas changed so much I don't think I'd be disappointed though! I'd be glad to do something I was happy in

Are you in a relationship? If not, who is your crush if you have one?

Very single, but I don't meet a lot of people I'm attracted to

What’s something you’re good at vs. something you’re bad at?

I'm alright at writing, at least essay writing. I won an award for it and I work as a writing consultant at my college

I'm comically bad at math.

Dogs or cats?

I prefer dogs, but I like cats when I know them. I grew up in an area with a lot of feral/stray cats and it's just made me more wary of them.

If you draw/write, or create in any way, what’s your favourite picture/favourite line/favourite etc. from something you created this year?

All of my writing is in (probably permanent) WIP status and involved in fanfic, so I'll probably never post it on my main.

I don't usually post this on my main, but I do run a Hetalia sideblog and I did a Cardverse piece of the British Isles Fam that I'm pretty proud of

What’s something you would like to create content for?

In addition to the Hetalia stuff I do on my sideblog, I'd love to make more ASOIAF content. I drew Margaery Tyrell earlier this year, and I'd love to do more! I get so inspired by all the amazing artists in the fanbase, the historical clothing I see, and the metas people write

What’s something you’re currently obsessed with?

House of the Dragon andThe Cranberries. Also stuck in Hetalia Hell lmao

What’s something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year?

I went on a trip this past summer. It wasn't exactly disappointing (it was actually pretty fun) but I got covid after two years of being untouched at the end of it

What’s a hidden talent of yours?

IRL I've been told I'm funny?? I don't know if that counts as a talent rather than a personality trait, but I'm really what it says on the page in terms of my talents.

Are you religious?    

This is kind of private for me. I'm not evangelical or some shit, if you've followed me for any amount of time you know this. I'm a believer in doing my own thing and letting other people do theirs'.

What’s something you wish to have at this moment?

A bigger bookshelf

[melancholiaenthroned]

dc pride ratings

Super Pride (Jon Kent): 2/10

it sucked so bad… no idea why it was the first in the book bc it definitely prepares you for disappointment. damian came across as homophobic, jon wore a straight pride flag, and jay barely did anything. the art was lovely but overall it just sucked.

Confessions (Nubia): 8/10

frankly i dont read a lot of nubia stuff so i cant speak to characterization but i really enjoyed this one! gorgeous art and very fun and silly story, i so wish there had been just a bit less action and more of her and and Io. will probably read some of her solo stuff after this because she seems great.

Think of Me (Connor Hawke): 10/10

im not a connor hawke fan or arrow fan in general, but oh my god this comic was so good. actually about the characters relationship to his sexuality! fun action scenes and villain! i really liked the music metaphor i thought it was well done. and damian wasnt homophobic in this one! also loved the art style a lot.

Up At Bat (Alysia Yeoh): 9/10

you love to see her again! hope dc actually commits to using her in more stuff now. the story was fun and i like that theyre setting her up as a vigilante. my only issue is a bit of a nitpick with the art, i just dont really like how the bat moves when she uses it haha. it looked curved and therefore looked like it hit weaker. i really liked the message tho and related to the feeling of just. fighting the same battles forever and never getting anywhere. dont know how much i relate to the “beat up supervillains instead” solution but its comics so. duh.

A World Kept Just For Me (Jackson Hyde): 9/10

i dont read a lot of aquaman, but ive heard that they drew his boyfriend skinner in this comic than he normally is, which, upon googling him. yeah. so point off for that. other than that is has got to be one of my favorites. the art and atmosphere is gorgeous and i love the different color palettes between the underwater scenes and the above water ones. i think the story was very very cute and nice and the ending was sweet.

The Gumshoe In Green (Jo Mullein): 8/10

LOVE the noir detective vibes. possibly the funniest instance of biphobia in the world. unfortunately also the most confusing. were they planning to eat her or fuck her? were they bisexual? not really being clear on that sort of lessened the punch of the story for me but frankly it doesnt really matter when the art and vibes are this good.

Public Display of Electromagnetism (Ray Terrill): 7/10

i have no idea who this guy is so that probably effects my ranking. i was bored! who are these people? for ray fans this was probably a big win but i literally have never even heard of him before reading this. i liked his internalized homophobia. that was different from the rest of the stories in this book where it seemed like everyone already was completely happy and secure in themselves. but unfortunately he got over in like a minute so i didnt really feel like it was anything other than cheap conflict. however maybe if ur a ray fan this is like, really deep for him. idk. the art was fine but i didnt love it either. very good light/magic effects but the ppl looked a bit odd. not to pit gay ppl against each other but they couldve put a midnighter and apollo story here instead.

Bats in the Cradle (Kate Kane): 6/10

literally the opposite of the last one. i love kate i read a ton kate so this… like ive heard it all before. this is nothing new. also i hate her dad so i dont care that hes proud of her. i wish it was more kate and her own self acceptance rather than her fathers but i guess they did that last year. and god last years kate story was so fucking good. art was fine and kate looked rlly good when she finally showed up.

INTERMISSION: Ghostmaker splash page: 10/10

is he kidnapping that guy? ok. sure. so confusing bc it genuinely looks like he just swooped in and stole this dude but thats also hilarious so.

Special Delivery (Tim Drake): 9/10

ok as tumblr user bernarddowd you can all guess by stance on comic character bernard dowd. hes perfect to me. i love that he acts and looks more like his 2004 self. i wish he had scars from his pain cult but when have comics remembered scars. i wish he had been there more! less tim. get ur bf on page. tim was fine tho ig. they can get away w not kissing in this story bc i figure they will in the tim drake pride special.

The Hunt (Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn): 10/10

very sweet and funny story. love their insane sex life. i love love love the romance manga art style and the color palette. surprised that it doesnt seem related at all to poison ivys new series but i guess theyre broken up in that so it makes sense. and i will always love to see jester harley even if shes an evil hallucination or whatever.

Are You Ready For This (Jesse Quick): 7/10

too much happened in too few pages, but that could be seen as a meta commentary on their powers? no i idea what goes on in teen justice so just reading this it seems like raven gets hit on and then gets so embarrassed hes like “i can NEVER join teen justice” but im sure he must be talking about something else. felt less like a pride story and more like pride as a setting which isnt a bad thing but it also felt less like a jesse quick story and more like a story where jesse quick was there, which, again, i think is just cause too much stuff was going on. still had fun w it.

INTERMISSION 2: Galaxy and Dreamer splash page: 10/10

WOOOO cheering forever. literally just read Galaxy last night and i LOVED it. never saw supergirl but Dreamer’s actress’s foreword was very nice so im a fan. they look very cute here together.

Finding Batman: 10/10

save the best for last. very touching and upsetting and real. glad for the more nonfiction stuff in this and im so glad that he was able to tell his story through dc. definitely deserves to be the most talked about part of the anthology and it is (other than homophobic damian).

Emoji ask game :)

❤️ 💥 🎁 💕 🥳 🦋 🎬 🤔 🎨

thank you so much!! You're the best!

answers are under the cut:

❤️ What is your favorite line that you’ve written in a fic?

ooh man, that's a tough one, especially since I'm coming up on a million words posted on AO3. I can remember there being some lines that I was especially proud of in every one of my fics, but most of those rely on the context of the story in order to get the full symbolism. I was particularly fond of this one from one of my Sandman fics, though:

That drew a laugh from him, and a flash of that same familiar smile. Despite yourself, your heart gave an involuntary stutter. Perhaps you were closer to human than you thought. Some of their millstones, food and sleep, you had no pull towards. But you were just as affected by the sight of a handsome man, it appeared. And a handsome nightmare would do just as well.

Also, some of my favorite things to write are Katherine's magic in WWFA? and Jasper's empathic abilities in Heartstrings, but I don't have one clear line for either of those. They're just fun :)

💥 What is one canon thing that you wish you could change?

Hmm... Angel's and Havok's deaths in X-Men Apocalypse. I fix those in pretty much every X-Men fic I have, but I just wish they hadn't happened in the movie at all. For one, the characters don't even die in the comics, either of them, and the way they die in the movie just makes no sense. You kill the winged guy in a plane crash? You kill the guy who absorbs thermal energy in an explosion? Excuse me?

🎁 Have a piece of a WIP you want to share?

Sure, how about a little piece from the next chapter of Who Waits Forever, Anyway?

Katherine dove out of the way as the door crashed inwards. She sprawled on the floor, a starburst of pain lancing up her arm as she took the fall hard on her wrist. Not broken- just a little jarred. She threw her arms over her head, feeling splinters of wood batter her clothing and ping off the granite floor beneath her. There was a brief glimpse of weathered bone out of the corner of her eye, and the triceratops bellowed.

She scrambled up to her feet and darted behind the nearest pillar, realizing just a moment too late that she’d dropped her sketchbook. Katherine clenched her fingers, fighting back a surge of fear. That magic was the only thing that kept her on par with the others, she thought. With her sketchbook, she could conjure a shield, a weapon, a distraction. Without it… 

Her eyes fell to the beast’s sharp horns, great prongs of petrified keratin, sharp as spears and hard as diamonds. She could feel her own mortality loom in close, breathing an icy breath down her neck. 

It was looking straight at her. 

💕 What is your favorite fic that you’ve written?

Aw man, another tough one! Again, there's so many pieces that I love from each of them, particularly as I've grown as a writer. I'm partial to Smoke and Mirrors, though, or maybe Secret Worlds (the dual-endings thing was pretty fun)

🥳 Why did you start writing fanfic?

COVID boredom, I think, and the need to get some of the rampant Ideas out of my head. I still have too many Ideas bouncing around in there, but at least now I can get them out on the page the way I like.

🦋 Which character is your favorite to write?

Jasper or Ophelia, there's something really unique about the way each of them view the world, and it lets me have a bit of fun with the writing style.

🎬 If a movie or show were based on your fic, which fic would you choose and who would you fancast?

I'm actually gonna go with Who Waits Forever Anyway?, since I feel like I brought a lot more depth to the magic and mythology than we got in the original NATM movies. I feel like that would translate well to the screen. I don't really have an answer for the fancast portion of that, since I don't really write my characters with a faceclaim in mind.

🤔 Would you ever want to write something canon if you got the opportunity?

I'd definitely be a little daunted by it, worried that I might screw up since writing canon would have actual stakes to it, but I think it would be cool. I definitely wouldn't pass up the opportunity if it was extended to me.

🎨 If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?

There's a scene in WWFA? where Katherine brings a drawing to life in the Hall of Birds, and there's this whole vortex of multicolored birds and golden magic that I think could translate to an absolutely stunning piece of art. If you want angst, I think the Corruption ending of Secret Worlds would make a good comic or animatic, or something relating to Robin's injury/recovery in Symphony in Silver

[likelylarks]

Whats goin on?

i am a fundamentally broken person? idk mate (i said way too many things after this, the short of it is nothing's wrong, i'm just bad at emotional regulation and i'm sorry)

like, anyone says that i am nice (or anything adjacent to that) and i immediately think of when i was seven or eight and in a fit of rage threw away my sister's drawing that she was really proud of (she got a comic book "kit" type of thing and she drew a lil guy with the body in the shape of a bean) and i don't know why i did it, all i know is that i lied about it and never apologized? it was fifteen years ago and i still think about it and wonder if she thinks about it and whether she hated me for it

and every time i want to complain about things or get overwhelmed with things and get super negative (like now lol), all i can think of is one of my friends from college telling me that i "don't deserve to treat [her] like shit all the time" and even though she's said that she was exaggerating, she also said that our relationship changed after that and she stopped feeling like that, but it changed because i stopped being honest with her about how bad i was feeling and so now whenever i can't help it and just word vomit how shitty i'm feeling because if i hold it all inside of me i feel like i'm going to die, i get super worried that i've finally done it, i've said the thing that's going to make my friends think that i'm using them for emotional labor and not giving anything back to them in return and that they would be better off without talking to me

and then, you know, another two decades worth of little moments of me being tremendously selfish; this last christmas, i was told by my family that when i was little, i was super whiny - i had no memory of that but now i wonder if that's still all they see when i'm there; yesterday my mom said that it was a negative environment, living with me and my dad and it made it hard to have a positive outlook on anything, which just means that now even though i hate my job and my classes and how fucking lonely i am, i am not going to talk about any of it out loud ever again

so, like, nothing is going on? just a whole lot of one off things that build up into nothing that matters and basically, i just don't know how to be a normal person

sorry, i know this was Bad and A Lot but i needed it to go somewhere and sometimes the nature of anons is that the person that asks never actually sees the response so maybe it'll be okay

Summary of Art 2022

Although not my most prolific year ever, I was so happy to realize that I indeed drew and uploaded stuff in every month of the year. That's already an accomplishment for me. XD Overall, this year's been quite successful in many regards, despite the couple of "low flights"! I have progressed with projects I haven't progressed with in actual years, I have made short comics, character designs, fantasy AUs and more, and I have finally started to try and make more concrete plans for the new year, and for my online presence in general, something I have never known how to even begin before.

There are still a couple more things in the pipeline, let's see how many I can knock out before the year's up :) My first ever animatic, another chapter for That First Spark, a new digital painting and speedpaint video of it, and maaaybe a new icon as well.

If you guys would like to share your own yearly accomplishments, I would love to lend an ear! ^^ I know you all achieved something this year, even if that something wasn't that big, you should still be proud of it nonetheless! Take care, and may we all have a wonderful 2023!

[oops-all-knuxadow]

I've only seen the first season of Sonic Boom, and Shadow only appeared in the very last episode of that season, with some vague and limited knowledge in between, so if he's ooc I'm sorry!

This is my part of a trade with @louie-loses-it which was super fun!! I hope we can collab again! Please consider visiting his blog and checking out some of their absolutely fantastic art!

Shadow strolled quietly along the beach, ever-present scowl traded in for something softer, for once. He had no plans, no schemes running, and no carefully crafted manipulation fed to him through Eggman to go and carry out at the moment, so his afternoon was free.

His shoes made indentations in the sand as he walked along. He briefly considered taking them off so he could enjoy it barefoot, but dismissed it out of concern that the idiot doctor could come by and annoy him again. He seemed to hatch a new plan against the village once a week. It was nearly episodic at this point, so the hedgehog begrudgingly remained on guard for the sound of machinery on the horizon. For now, he could relax, his ears catching only the sounds of the ocean lapping against the shore and two pairs of footsteps.

Shadow stopped walking. One pair of footsteps.

Fists clenched, the striped hedgehog whirled around and bared his teeth, coming face to chest with a tall, red echidna.

He squinted, then lifted his gaze upward until it landed on a pair of excited, violet eyes.

"Heya, Shadow!" Knuckles beamed. "I'm glad I found you! I -"

"Where are your friends?" Shadow demanded. "Waiting out of sight to ambush me? You all should know by now that I'm much too fast for you to gang up on so easily."

"Huh? No, I'm all alone!" Knuckles replied. "Or - no, I'm not. You're here, so I'm actually not alone!"

"Quit fooling around!"

"How dare you!? I only fool around when I have my jester hat on! And it's in the wash right now!"

Shadow grit his teeth. There was no way he was sent out here to be any sort of distraction, or to do reconnaissance; this buffoon was all muscle and no brain.

"Then tell me," he bit out, rapidly losing patience, "why you're here. Before I beat it out of you."

Although, admittedly, that would be hard to do. He'd seen the kind of force Knuckles put behind a punch, and if he wasn't careful, being on a receiving end of something like that would put him out of commission for a few days. Shadow could not afford to be downed like that. He needed to play it smart if this turned into a fight.

The echidna lifted his arms in a pacifying gesture, frowning. "Don't do that. I just ate a Meh Burger, and it's already hard enough keeping those things down without getting hit in the stomach a bunch."

Shadow drew his arm back in warning.

"Okay! Alright! Geez, you're not a small talk kind of guy, I get it! I just wanted to return this to you."

The echidna patted himself, searching for pockets he clearly didn't have, then muttered an ah-ha! and thrust his hands in his dreads. Shadow watched him do this for a comically long time and eventually lowered his arm again, choosing instead to cross them over his chest.

While waiting, he tried to recall what it is he could've possibly lost that warranted returning. During his most recent battle with Sonic, he supposed he did lose some spare change after being tossed through a building, but would Knuckles have really gone through the trouble of picking up loose coins just to hand them back? And how did he know they belonged to Shadow?

"Found it!!"

Knuckles retrieved the item with a proud grin, holding it out to the shorter male. Shadow's eyes went wide as he recognized what he was holding.

"...you have my gauntlet?" That thing had broken off his arm more than a month ago. He'd been thrown to the ground in an older battle with his rival, and the gauntlet had flown off along with his inhibitor ring. In the aftermath, he'd only managed to find the ring, and gave up the search entirely after another few days of searching the area.

It hadn't occurred to him to think that someone had picked it up for him. It had taken Shadow weeks to get used to the feeling of his bare arms being exposed, having given up on wearing the second one by itself. As he didn't have the skills to create a replacement, losing it had been a bit of a sore spot.

Knuckles must have thought he didn't want it for fear of the thing being broken, so he started babbling. "When I found it, the buckle had completely snapped off, so I asked Tails to make a new one. It shouldn't fall apart like that again!"

His self-satisfied grin shrank into a smaller, more awkward smile as Shadow continued gawking at it. The echidna shifted his weight.

"Um...I would have fixed it myself, but my hands are too big to do that kind of delicate work. Also, I don't know how."

Another few seconds of silence. Knuckles stopped smiling completely.

"Do you...not want it?"

The hedgehog scowled, red eyes lifting from the gauntlet to the echidna.

"What's the catch?" He demanded. "I accept this and become indebted to you? Are you trying to get some sort of favor from me?"

The red mobian tilted his head. "Huh?"

"Don't play dumb with me."

"I told you, my jester hat -"

Shadow snatched the gauntlet from his hand with a snarl. "Enough! Whatever you're trying to get from me in return, I won't grant it! This was a wasted endeavor on your part, fool. I'm leaving."

He turned, about to teleport away, and just barely caught Knuckles' confused, but polite "you're welcome, buddy!"

The hedgehog was gone the next second, nothing but his shoe-prints in the sand to show that he'd ever been there to begin with. He reappeared in his cave, feeling...

Well, not as angry as he usually was after a social interaction. He was also not as tired, or physically damaged, or anything, really. He had exchanged (mostly) peaceful conversation with the tall echidna, and nobody limped away with broken bones. In fact, he'd gained something from it, made evident by the weight of the gauntlet in his hand.

He looked down at it, unlatching the thing to search for any secret tracking chips implanted in the material. Satisfied, he buckled it over his arm, then went and retrieved his other one. His mood lifted, feeling complete. It sank again when he realized he had essentially accepted a gift.

From the enemy.

"Feh," he spat, "whatever. He simply returned what was already mine. I owe the hulking idiot a small favor, and nothing more."

--

Knuckles thrust his fist into the ground, sending out a shockwave that made the nearby robots swarming him collapse into pieces. It bought him a few seconds to breathe before the next wave began to close in.

Eggman was really going all out this week. He'd swapped out his Obliterator Bot for something twice the size and causing double the damage. To stop Sonic and his friends from deactivating it right away, the doctor was throwing all of his littler robots into the fray to stall for time. It seemed as though the Mega Obliterator 2000 was charging up to make a gigantic explosion, leveling the village and leaving a blank slate for Eggman's theme park. Naturally, the heroes jumped in to thwart this plan, but they'd been consistently fighting through the hoard of metal and wires for almost an hour, now, and they were starting to tire.

Tails was the first to tap out. His plane had been downed, and a particularly hard blow to one of his namesakes had prevented him from flying anymore. Amy smashed a quick path for the fox to use to escape, and he'd rushed off to his lab to try and quickly build something to help them. Sticks was down soon after, dogpiled by a bunch of bots and then locked in a cage too far away to get to at the moment.

It was down to Sonic, Amy, and Knuckles, and for once it didn't look good. Eggman was cackling overhead in his floating pod and monologuing about his inevitable victory, Amy was clutching her hammer with trembling arms and an exhausted frame, and Sonic was limping. The echidna was the only one among them still in peak fighting form, but he couldn't pound the ground to destroy enemies forever, lest he risk causing an earthquake.

"Now would be a great time for somebody to do something! I hate when the episode ends on a cliffhanger!!" Knuckles cried, stepping away until the three of them were back to back. A circle of robots loomed closer and closer, defeat on the horizon.

"I need a minute to think!" Sonic snapped, temper flaring a lot more now that his primary mode of transportation was compromised. Every step looked painful; it was a wonder he was still standing. He looked around in a panic, quills frayed haphazardly. "We just need to...to..."

Amy whimpered, dropping her hammer and clutching onto the blue speedster as she accepted their demise. "I can't believe it...we're done for!"

Knuckles' defiant confidence wavered, glancing at them over his shoulder, then back at the wave before him. There were too many to destroy by himself. Was it really over?

"Hmph. Looks like it's time to use that favor."

The echidna was momentarily blinded by a flash of light. He felt a surprisingly small hand grab his own, and in another flash, he and his friends were standing several yards away from the circle of bots.

He looked down, catching sight of brilliant stripes of red against obsidian fur. Shadow stared up at him and released his hand, as well as Amy's arm, who was still clinging desperately to Sonic.

"Shadow!" Knuckles exclaimed, grinning. "You're wearing the gauntlets again!"

The hedgehog looked away, appearing damn-near flustered. He chose not to acknowledge the taller mobian's remark, or Sonic's own cry of surprise at his appearance, and glared instead at the rapidly derailing situation.

"Once the biggest bot is taken care of, the rest of the doctor's stupid plan will fall apart," the brooding figure declared. "Are you still in this fight?"

Sonic looked warily at Shadow, then down to Amy's trembling figure in his arms, and shook his head.

"Pathetic, but that's nothing new from the likes of you." Shadow turned to Knuckles instead, brows furrowed in determination. "And you?"

"I'm still going strong!" Knuckles promised, punching his fists against one another. "Got a plan? I was thinking we could punch and kick all the bots."

Shadow gave him a dry look. "And has that worked out for you, so far?"

"..."

"Nevermind. How well can you throw me?"

The echidna paused. "Uh, if you can curl up in a spiky little ball like Sonic can, then I can chuck you clear across the island!"

"Perfect." Shadow smirked, kneeling, and pointed at the Mega Obliterator. "I need you to send me at that thing's head, as hard as you can."

"Got it."

"Hey! Don't you know it's rude to disappear in the middle of a guy's evil victory speech!?" Eggman cried, after needing a few moments to relocate them after teleporting. "I rehearsed that for weeks with my improv group!! ROBOTS, ATTAAAAACK!!"

Shadow rolled into a ball and flattened his quills, allowing Knuckles to pick him up. The echidna swung his arm back and took aim, sticking his tongue out to improve his focus.

"Boy," he couldn't help saying, "you sure are lightweight! Guess that's because you're so short."

"I will leave you all to perish, favor be damned," Shadow hissed from his palm. Knuckles eeked, and chucked him at the Mega Obliterator.

All in all, the end result proved to be a little anticlimactic. Shadow landed on the head of the machine and swiftly punched at it, sending shattered glass and busted wires flying everywhere, which was cool, but then the thing just kind of made a little computer shut-down noise and stopped moving.

Eggman cried out in shock and horror, lamenting over yet another failed scheme, and started flying away as expected.

"This isn't over, the lot of you!! And Shadow, I must say, I'm very disappointed! Just goes to show you that you can't even count on family to have your back when you're trying to destroy a blue hedgehog and all his friends! I'm gonna go cry about this and eat my feelings. Oh, my caloric intake is going to be so shot!"

The rest of his babbling became indiscernible as he disappeared into the distance, the rest of his surviving robots tailing mindlessly after him. Sonic and his team all whooped and hollered in victory, high-fiving each other and basking in the relief of surviving another battle.

Knuckles rushed over to Shadow as he jumped down from the broken obliterator bot, brushing some dirt and glass shards off of his person.

"Hey, you were great out there! Thanks for helping us!"

"Hmph. Don't get used to it, fool; this was a simple repayment for returning my gauntlet."

The taller mobian frowned. "Aw, I already told you it was no biggie, but thanks for the rescue anyway. I'm sure if you wanted to, we could let goodbyes be goodbyes and make you the newest, heroic member of Team Knuckles and friends!"

Shadow scowled up at him, crossing his arms over his chest. "The proper phrase is to let bygones be bygones, first of all."

"Yeah, that's what I said."

"Secondly, I have no interest in joining your paltry, little team. The five of you were useless against this latest scheme against the doctor, which means none of you are any use to me."

Shadow turned away and began to stalk off.

"Besides," he called over his shoulder, "I am not a hero. You would do well to learn that, Knuckles."

Knuckles watched him walk away, dejected, then gasped loudly and began to shout after him.

"Shadow!!! Shadow WAIT!!"

"What!" He snapped back.

Knuckles dug through his dreads and pulled out a jester hat, tugging it on.

"It's fresh out the wash!"

The black hedgehog stared at him, momentarily dumbfounded, and exhaled sharply through his noise. He was so taken aback, his mouth ticked up in a startled smile, quirked a little higher on one side.

Shadow looked cute when he smiled, Knuckles realized. His own eyes widened in turn, cheeks burning the same color as his pelt. Gosh, was it hot in here? He could hear birds singing...and who was playing that harp so romantically!?

"Sorry," said the Mayor, walking across the field with his harp and a bag of birdseed, "I needed somewhere to practice my new hobby - harp playing and bird watching - but all this robo junk is killing the mood! Someone outta clean this up."

"Oh!" Said Knuckles, "uh, we'll get right on that, Sir...have a good night." By the time he looked up to find Shadow, he was gone.

Sonic approached him slowly, mindful of his injuries, and gently patted his arm to get his attention.

"We should get going, too, Knux. I dunno what you did to get Shadow to save our butts back there, but I'm really thankful. Wanna get some celebratory Meh Burger? My treat."

The echidna cracked a smile. "Yeah, okay. I want extra fries!"

"Sure thing, buddy..." He guided Knuckles towards the location of the mediocre eatery, but his gaze was unfocused and his mind was swimming with thoughts.

Shadow hated them, but he'd undoubtedly saved their lives, today. What had Knuckles done to warrant earning such a hefty favor from a guy like that?

Better yet, he thought, what did Eggman mean by "you can't even count on family" as he was retreating? Was there something big going on between the doctor and that moody hedgehog?

--

"...no, don't mind me," Sticks muttered to no one as she sat against the bars of her cage, hours after the conclusion of the battle. "Don't mind the helpless badger everybody forgot to let out. It's fine."

[gladerwolfstarkimagines]

Imagine being the reserved quiet niece of Ursa and cousin of Zuko and Azula, a powerful fire bender who catches Ty lee’s attention. You struggle to find a way to show her you return her affection until Azula threatens her....

(Note: this is loosely based on the comic the search which takes place after the tv show ended and follows Zuko finding his mother)

You’d grown up in a village terrified of the fire nation. Your family used to be the proud respected descendants of Avatar Roku....and then Fire lord Azulon showed up and demanded one of the line marry his son Ozai. Your aunt was stolen away just for being linked to a fire bender and so when you developed fire bending your family were horrified. They forbade you from ever using your bending but refused to explain why. So of course you ignored them and carried on working to be the best fire bender ever. You absorbed every technique you could read about and were advancing quickly....until your family caught you. They were furious but you were determined never to stop and so they saw there was nothing else to do but tell you the truth. They finally told you what fire bending had done to their family and urged you never to show your power. Who knew what the royal family would do if they knew you existed, if they’d take you too...and so you stopped. You stopped fire bending but you were restless, so much energy bottled up inside you, and so trained in other physical disciplines. Your family disapproved of your boisterous activities but they were better than fire bending so they allowed it. Even when your aunt returned from the fire nation they didn’t lessen their rules on you an inch. You listened to them dutifully but continuously felt the itch your fire in your palms. You vowed you would get to use your fire bending some day...some how.  

8 years later

Your family had socially and physically isolated themselves so much you were unaware the war had ended even months after Zuko had been crowned. It wasn’t until said new fire lord appeared on your doorstep that you realised everything had changed.

You were outside with your little cousin Kiyi when a well dressed man appeared. You immediately identified him as some noble man from the fire nation or maybe even a royal and tensed. The fear instilled in you was strong and you swept your cousin behind you before getting in a defensive stance. "Who are you and what do you want?" you called adrenaline pulsing through you. The man started towards you and you drew the knife you always kept on you "don’t come any closer". The man raised his hands and you realised he wasn’t quiet a man yet, he was about your age and had an odd burn across his eye. "What do you want" you said louder and Kiyi clutched your legs. "I’m looking for a woman, Ursa...does she live here?". "No" you said "go away". "Are you sure?' he asked "please it’s important i find her, here’s a photo of her". He went to step forwards and you raised your hand. "Okay here" he said and put it down before walking away. You picked the photo up and before you could do anything Kiyi frowned "mommy!". "Mommy?" the boy asked confused "so you do know her? She’s here? I have to see her!". He started walking closer and wasn’t slowing down. You didn’t want him to get near you and so used your best attack. Your fire practically leapt from you after being supressed for so many years and hit him square in the chest sending him flying backwards. "Go away" you yelled loudly "now or i will hurt you". "Zuko!" someone yelled and you saw a group come running around the corner. "Kiyi run! Tell Ursa to run!" you yelled and turned to face them. You shot some warning jets of flame “leave now” you yelled trying to feign confidence. A girl dressed in blue threw up protection while a girl in pink worked her way towards you with super human agility. You fired at her but she dodged your flames as easily as if you were a beginner bender. The girl reached you and you switched to close range attacks and the two of you became locked in a close combat. “No stop!” the boy yelled but neither you or the girl stopped. The girl was dodging ever single attack you threw her but you were getting closer. You singed her t-shirt when the girl landed some punches along your muscles. Your body cramped in pain and you flinched clutching your arm. You raised your other arm but nothing happened. You raised both hands but again no flame. Your fire was gone. “My bending....” you gasped and the girl knocked the knife from your hand. “Ty lee stop it!” the boy yelled and the girl in pink simply backflipped back to the group. “I don’t know what you did to me but I still won’t let you take her” you growled. The others matched your defensive stance but the boy pushed past them “no leave her I think she’s my...” when a voice cut him off.  "Zuko?". You turned to see your aunt running forwards her eyes fixed on the man. "Zuko!" she cried and rushed past you to throw her arms around him. They were both sobbing by the time the rest of your family arrived and you were utterly confused. "What’s going on?" you asked loudly and Ursa smiled "y/n dear it’s okay, this is my son Zuko, he’s your cousin, it’s okay!".

You family flocked around Zuko and all had similar reactions to Ursa. You watched still clutching your arm as they all headed to the house. The group with Zuko went to follow and you zoned in on the girl who had done this to you. “Hey you” you called at the pink girl. She glanced at you before bounding over “i’m Ty lee, it’s lovely to meet you, your fire bending is really pretty!”. “What did you do to me?” you cried in reply and the girls smile wavered. “Sorry about that, I’m sort of swore to protect your cousin so I had to attack you, i used Chi blocking on you don’t worry it’s not permanent”. “Chi what? That’s not important...what do I do to reverse it? Undo what you did!”. “ I can’t make it come back instantly” Ty lee frowned “it takes a while for your body to repair but it’ll come back soon I promise”. You stared at your hands “you swear it’ll come back”. “Totally” she smiled crossing her heart and you stared confused why she was so happy. Was she mocking you or something? You were about to ask her when your aunt called “Y/n come meet your cousins Zuko and Azula” and with a glance to Ty lee (who was still smiling) you made your way inside.  

Ursa introduced you but that was all the encouragement Zuko needed, he seemed thrilled to have a cousin his age and launched into a thorough interogation to work out everything about you while his sister just glared. It was hard not to be caught up in his infectious happiness. He called over his friends to meet you and you noticed how proudly he called you his cousin, a large grin on his face.  When the group reached you Zuko smiled “guys this is my cousin y/n! Y/n this is Sokka, Katara, Ty lee, Mai and Aang”. They all shot greetings at you and you blinked in reply. “Aang as in avatar aang....”. “Yeah” the boy smiled awkwardly and you stared “my cousin the firelord is friends with the avatar...the avatar and fire lord are in my house right now...”. “It gets old soon I promise” Zuko’s girlfriend Mai told you and everyone laughed. Zuko was called away by your adoring family but his friends stayed around you. They all began asking you questions excited to get to know you and arrived at your bending pretty soon. "You took Zuko out surprisingly easy" Mai smirked "you must be a skilled fire bender". You glanced at your elders worried but none of them were even listening, they were all staring at Zuko amazed. You’d never seen them look so relaxed before and it dawned on you that Zuko being fire lord would change everything. It would free your family from their fear and you smiled emotional at the thought. “Y/n?” the avatar asked bringing you back and you nodded "sorry yeah i’m a good fire bender" you admitted "well i guess...i’ve never had any training or actually met another fire bender". "Really?" Katara asked and when you nodded she smiled "so you’re a prodigy!" she cried and you blushed when someone started to laugh. You followed the laugh to it’s owner, your cousin Azula who was watching you with a cruel sneer. "A prodigy? How can she be growing up here?". You narrowed your eyes but another girl scolded her "you don’t need resources to be a prodigy that’s the whole point Azula"  Ty lee snapped before turning back to you "I bet you’re awesome!" she smiled winking and you blushed.

Your family celebrated well into the night and you wanted to join them but something was worrying you...your bending still hadn’t returned yet despite what Ty lee had told you. You walked away from the house and practiced the basic moves you’d known since you were 5 but could conjure a single flame. “Maybe wait a bit longer?” a voice called and you saw the said cause of your predicament. “Sorry I don’t know exactly how long but they will come back I swear” Ty lee frowned. You frowned staring down at your hands “I’ve spent so long having to hide my bending and now I can show it, they’re gone”. “Only temporarily!” Ty lee assured you “but I get it and i’m sorry....it must’ve been hard hiding who you were all this time?" she asked and you nodded "i guess". Silence settled and Ty lee stared at you. "You don’t talk much" she observed and you blushed. “I noticed in the party you’re rather quiet, that does not run in common with your family” she smirked as your family could be heard from your position outside. "Sorry i was always told to never speak about what i can do and so to have an audience just waiting to listen....it’s pretty anxiety provoking". The girl frowned and laid a hand on your hand "i’m sorry i didn’t realise, we don’t have to talk about that, we can talk about something else". You didn’t get why the pretty girl was with you at all but suspected she felt bad for disabling your bending. "Thank you" you said politely and a silence settled again. You winced, fearing this would get awkward but Ty lee seemed to be a cunning socialite. "So what’s your favourite colour?". "My favourite colour?" you asked amused. Ty lee nodded "your aura is hard to read....you’re quiet hard to read actually and that intrigues me so humour me". You blushed as the beautiful chi blocker stared at you intensely and answered her questions.

A lot of time had passed and still the two of you were outside and Ty lee’s constant chattering broke past your nervous nature. "So what’s your life like?" you asked now more comfortable "growing up so high born must’ve been cool, so much power and freedom..." you said wistfully. Ty lee frowned and you were immediately worried you’d upset her. "I’m sorry have i...". "No" she smiled at you "you didn’t say anything wrong, you’re right, i had many opportunities women don’t get but they came with expectations and set backs" she said glancing back at the house "i did things i wasn’t proud of just to be different...you see i have 6 sister who look exactly like me and so i struggled to stand out and be different. I tried desperately to not fade into the background and guess i fell to extreme measures in the process". You frowned and Ty Lee sighed before smiling "but that was in the past! Now i’m a kyoshi warrior hired with the protection of the fire lord!” she cried “my life’s pretty good now”. “I’m pleased for you” you smiled and Ty lee smiled back at you. You noticed she had a habit of staring really intensely and with how beautiful and nice she was it was a bit too much for your tired state “we should go back to the party” you blushed looking down and Ty lee nodded “sure!” not seeming to notice the effect she had on you.

2 days later

Your cousins arrival had certainly shaken things up but things were slowly getting back to normal and your chores were still expected of you and so you took your cart into town to get the shopping like every week. You were almost back to the secluded area of you home when you noticed a group of green women on the path ahead. They all had their faces painted white and had fans.  You frowned confused at the entourage your cousin travelled with when one of them popped out infront of you. "Y/n!" Ty lee cried "these are the women i work with the Kyoshi warriors, everyone this is y/n Zuko’s cousin" she said exposing you to the large group of women. "Hi" you smiled awkwardly and they all nodded to you “is Zuko okay?” you asked her. “Ow yeah Suki and the girls are just here to make sure it stays that way...that is a lot of shopping, do you need some help?" Ty lee asked looking at your full cart and you shook your head "i’m fine thanks". "Are you sure? It’s no trouble” she smiled and before you could protest she spun around to her friends. “Suki i’ll be back in a bit" Ty lee called and twirled back around to you. She hopped up beside you on the cart and you blushed as she perched on the armrest of your seat. “Lets go” she smiled.

Ty lee had a habit of finding you and joining you in whatever you were doing. You didn’t mind, she was nice company but that was also the problem. Any time she was around you became a soft slow thinking mess, made worse by Ty lee’s lack of boundaries and intense kindness.

Case in point, Ty lee was quiet for 3 seconds before she began complimenting you. "It’s so cool you can drive one of these things" she smiled and you blushed "it’s not hard really i snap it when i want the horse to go and pull it to stop...". "Well i still think that’s cool" Ty lee cried and you looked away so she wouldn’t see your blush. You’d have to learn to stop blushing around her or she’d realise you liked her. You reached your home and climbed down as Ty lee somersaulted off. You watched impressed before turning to the cart "if we unload it here that’ll be best". Ty lee nodded and watched you pick up three boxes. Ty lee stepped forwards and heaved two but they didn’t lift up. Ty lee frowned and tried again but they wouldn’t budge. "Those are probably a bit heavy" you frowned "try a bag". Ty lee lifted a bag of vegetables and then saw you discreetly lift the two boxes she’d been struggling with. "Wow you're so strong" she cried and you blushed "i’m not...” you stammered but Ty Lee wouldn’t drop it. "No you are i couldn’t move them and you just picked them up like that...i bet your arms are huge". Your blush was painfully obvious and there was no hiding it which made you angry, was she doing this on purpose? Why was she showering you in compliments if not to try embarrassing you? "I...i’m not...you're one to talk" you replied glancing at her toned physique before becoming horrified at what you’d just said and done. Ty lee didn’t seem to mind though she just blushed and carried on helping to unload the cart.

When you’d unloaded the cart Ty lee lingered as you sorted the supplies away and when you’d finished she still hadn’t made a move to leave. You liked being around her but knew you were so obvious with your crush she had to leave or she’d easily work it out. “So that’s all the shopping sorted, thanks for helping” you said and Ty lee smiled “no problem”. You nodded staring at her waiting for her to leave but Ty lee just smiled at you. “So i guess i’ll see you around?” you asked and Ty lee took the hint “ow i’m so sorry I bet you’ve got so much work...i’ll get out of your hair”. Ty lee smiled but you noticed she seemed a bit embarrassed and it killed you that you’d hurt her. So against the sensible part of your mind telling you to avoid the girl if you didn’t want to make a fool of yourself, you called after her. “Ty lee” you called “would you...do you want to stay for dinner?” you asked. “Really?” she asked smiling again and you nodded “we always cook too much so you’d be helping but of course you don’t have to...” you started when Ty lee cut you off.  “I’d love to!” she cried and you nodded cheeks pink as you led her into the house. Zuko and Mai were inside already with your family and everyone looked up when you walked in together. “Y/n’s here great we can start” your grandmother smiled “and she brought a guest”. “You all know Ty lee” you said awkwardly as Ty lee beamed beside you “y/n invited me! I hope you don’t mind”. You blushed as your family all told Ty lee she was welcome and made room for her beside you. “Your family’s so nice” she grinned at you and you blushed very aware of said family watching you and Ty lee very smugly...they knew you had a weakness for nice girls.

Mai was also watching and she smiled to see you blush any time Ty lee grabbed you or came close to you, two thing with Ty lee seemed to do to you a lot. Her friend has definitely brought her A-game.

You saw Ty lee around a lot, especially as your family seemed to find any excuse to bring the talented chi blocker anywhere near you. The excuses varied from sending Ty lee to help you with the horse, to calling you in for dinner, to having her bring you spare change on your daily errands. Ty lee seemed more than willing to help and no matter how crowded the room was she’d somehow notice you and make her way over to you. It didn’t matter who she was with she’d drop what she was doing and appear by your side, usually not moving away from you for the rest of the night. At first you found the constant attention and looks from your family embarrassing but you soon realised embarrassment was worth it just to have Ty lee by you. She made you feel special and important in a town and family that had always wanted you to be quiet. Ty lee seemed to make it her mission to get you to open up and you found you liked it. And her of course....a lot. The situation where you realised you couldn’t deny it anymore was when you ran into Ty lee in town. Ty lee surrounded by adoring suitors from your village what she caught sight of you. She called you over but never a fan of the boys your age you waved her away and expected that to be the end of it. Seconds later you heard heavy breathing and Ty lee appeared. "Phew your village has a lot of friendly people sometimes it’s a bit much...can I walk with you?”. You blushed realising she'd ditched all the boys in your town just for you and nodded "sure" and led her away from the group of simmering boys watching. As much as every encounter with her left you feeling dazed and humiliated at whatever embarrassing thing you’d done, you hoped Zuko would never leave so Ty lee could stay. You were well and truly smitten.

1 week later

Your whole family had been anxious for so long that when something did go wrong their response time was impeccable. You were all gathered out of bed minutes after Zuko called and stood around listening as he explained how his sister Azula had escaped his custody and was raising a revolt against him. You listened worried as your cousin explained what Azula was capable of and watched as everyone hurried to set protection plans in place. You wouldn’t be called on for your opinion or skills so you were just listening in the background when someone mentioned Ty lee. You perked up and noticed she wasn’t here. "I’m sorry but what was that about Ty lee?" you called and Zuko frowned "Azula kidnapped her, she took her as a hostage so we wouldn’t follow her". "What? We have to get her back!". Mai nodded "that’s the plan". "Well i want to help, if you need fighters i volunteer, I can leave tonight". "Y/n" your mother gasped but you shook her away "i’m a good fire bender I can help get Ty lee back". Zuko smiled "thanks y/n but were not actually planning on engaging with Azula". "But how will you get Ty lee back?". "Hopefully with a trade she likes those" Mai said dryly "it’s too difficult to sneak into Azula’s base so that’s our only option. She'll offer one we just have to wait". "Just wait?" you asked and Zuko frowned "I know it sounds backwards but we could do more harm than good attacking Azula". “That’s only if we lose” you pointed out and Zuko nodded “that’s true but my sister is hard to beat one on one and a group is too easy to spot, we’ll just have to wait”. You took in what Zuko said and fell silent. You stayed mute the rest of the meeting and may’ve seemed calm or passive to the others but you weren’t. You took in every single thing they said, every detail about Azula’s camp and snook away before the meeting had ended.

Azula’s camp was not as impressive as you thought it would be, just a small compound that was very easy to break into. Ty lee seemed to be the main prisoner and so you listened to some guards and found her location. You arrived outside the house you were sure Ty lee was being kept in and calmed yourself slowing your breathing and concentrating on what you were here to do. You waited for a guard to approach and took his keys before knocking him unconscious. You hid him in a shaded area before opening the door to Ty lee’s prison. You took out the first guard you saw with fire bending and he went down unconscious. A second tried to rush you but you winded him with fire bending and then kicked him over for good measure. The man fell over and went to get back up but your flared your fire "stay down" you yelled and he did. You straightened and looked around when a voice cried out to you. Relief flooded through your body to see Ty lee stood there and you rushed to her. "Ty lee! You’re....please tell me you’re okay?". She nodded "i’m fine! I can’t believe you’re here”. You smiled at her before spinning around to the conscious guard. "Open her cell!" you commend and the man scrambled to get it open. Ty lee swept out as soon as it was open and you pushed the two guards inside locking it and taking the keys. "You saved me" Ty Lee cried and she flung her arms around you. You hugged her back and smiled, going as pink as her top, "well i....we should go" you tugged Ty lee’s hand and noticed as she winced. "What’s wrong?" you asked and she shook her head "nothing lets go". "No you’re hurt...". You noticed how she stood awkwardly putting more weight on one foot and frowned "your ankle, you can’t walk". Ty lee shook her head worried how you’d escape if she couldn’t run "no i’m fine i promise". "I’m not letting you injure yourself more" you told her. Ty lee went to assure you she could exert it a bit more when you suddenly picked her up. Ty lee yelped as you carefully swept her up in your arms. "Is this okay? Does it hurt if I do this?". Now Ty lee was the blushing embarrassed one, you were holding her up so easily and securely, it was impressive. "It’s fine" she smiled "thank you" and you nodded. "Okay hold on" and took off into a run.

You made it back to your town with only minor incidences. It had been a rough night regardless and your arms ached painfully when you put Ty lee down having reached your home. Zuko and the others were still gathered inside and you hooked Ty lee’s arm around your neck helping her to the door. You pushed the door open and led Ty lee in. Mai glanced at you before doing a double take registering who was beside you. "Ty lee, you’re okay!" she cried rushing to hug her friend. You stepped away from her so Mai could hug her but rushed to grab Ty lee a chair. You seated it behind her and tapped Ty lee’s shoulder lightly. She took the seat shooting you a smile as the others all frowned. "But how?" Zuko asked. "Y/n" ty lee said proudly "she was amazing! She stormed Azula’s camp and carried me the whole way back!". Mai noticed how you brushed away Ty lee’s compliments and were blushing vividly. She also noticed how you stood protectively behind Ty lee and how Ty lee twisted in her seat to look up at you. "No it’s the bravest most valiant thing i’ve ever seen!" Ty lee cried and launched into a full blow by blow retelling. Mai watched as her oblivious friend made your blush worse and Mai smiled. It was clear you liked Ty lee but even clearer you didn’t realise Ty lee liked you too. Ty lee may come across as perpetually friendly but Mai could tell when she was just being nice and when she was genuinely impressed. Ty lee was indeed very impressed with you.

Ty lee’s POV

“I can’t believe you got yourself kidnapped” Mai scolded her and Ty lee rolled her eyes. Katara had worked on her ankle but it was a bad sprain so would take some time to heal. So Ty lee was forced to go to bed when all she wanted to do was help with the Azula problem. Mai however was very strict and seemed just as determined as you to make sure she was okay. “I didn’t mean to get kidnapped, plus it’s fine i’m back now!”. “Thanks to y/n” Mai commented and Ty lee nodded “I know, the way she risked everything just to help me...she’s really something” she sighed wistfully. Mai scoffed glaring at her and Ty lee paused “what?”. “You are not this clueless!”. “What?” Ty lee cried and Mai rolled her eyes. “You seriously don’t see that y/n is smitten with you?”. “What!” Ty lee yelled going pink “why do you think that?”. “Ow I don’t know maybe because she’s an introvert who avoids anyone but the two of you are always together, or because she brings you to her family dinner every week, or how whenever she’s around you she can barely look you in the eye without blushing....or how she tore down Azula’s camp risking her life just because you were there and then literally carried you back in her arms”. Mai sat next to Ty lee with a bounce and Ty lee stared “I....I never noticed”. “Figures, you never notice all the people infatuated with you but please tell me you realise you’re just as smitten for her?”. Ty lee blushed profoundly and looked down “i’m that obvious huh?”. “Yup, you’re not fooling anyone with all those excuses to run y/n’s errands with her”. Ty lee chuckled and then paused “you really think she likes me too?” she asked coyly. Mai rolled her eyes at how clueless her friend was but smiled despite herself ”definitely, so go get your girl”.

Your POV

After Ty lee was safely returned home and her ankle seen to by the healer Katara you promptly collapsed into bed. Your mission had been a resounding success but that didn’t mean you weren’t bruised and tired. You had just extinguished the candle when there was a knock on the door. You dragged yourself out of bed angrily and yanked open your door “what is....Ty lee?”. Ty lee stood there smiling at you and for once she didn’t have her signature confident aura. “Sorry were you sleeping? I can come back....”. “No it’s fine come in”. You led Ty lee into your room and hurried to tidy it and relight the candles “sorry for the mess I....wait what are you doing up! Katara said no walking" you cried realising she was on her feet. "It’s fine I have crutches!" she said happily gesturing to them but you shook your head "you should be in bed resting!". "You should know by now i can never stay still" she grinned and you rolled your eyes "fine but please sit down".

Ty lee would’ve argued she was fine but you seemed so certain she took the chair you offered her. You fussed around her, getting a cushion for her foot and one for her back and Ty lee blushed to see how much care you were taking. Maybe Mai was right....

"There" you said finished, satisfied Ty lee was comfy. "Now how can i help?". "It’s kinda the opposite...i’m here to thank you" Ty lee beamed "you saved my life tonight y/n and literally carried me to safety". "It was nothing" you tried to brush it off but Ty lee shook her head grabbing your hand "it wasn’t! Mai told me how everyone told you not to do it and how you actually disobeyed them by coming to get me". You glanced at her hand over yours and relaxed "well i...i was worried Azula might be being harsh to you, i figured even if i got caught i might distract her from you...". Ty lee blushed "that was very sweet of you but you don’t need to risk yourself just for me". You shrugged "i think you’re worth it" and Ty lee frowned "what do you mean?". You shrugged embarrassed "well you’re the nicest person i’ve ever met! I actually thought it was an act at first you’re that nice but it’s not" you smiled "you were so kind to me and for no reason...you just cared" you chuckled "i think we need more people like you in the world Ty lee, you’re very special". Ty lee let out a mini exclamation of emotion and suddenly threw her arms around you. You let her hug you, used to surprise hugs by now but you weren’t used to her kissing you. Ty lee wrapped her arms around your neck and pecked your lips with her own. You broke away immediately thinking it was a mistake but Ty lee just blushed looking at you "was that...was it not okay i did that?". "I...you mean you actually meant to kiss me?". "Yes silly!". "Because i saved your life?". "No because i like you". When you blushed Ty lee smiled "that’s a good sign right?" and when you nodded she leant back in. You were prepared this time but not for how great it would feel. Everything about her, how she felt, how her arms felt wrapped around you neck, how you felt wrapped together just made it bliss. It was a sweet but long kiss and when Ty lee pulled away you blinked your eyes open and stared at the wall in a daze "wow". Ty lee giggled looking up at you before you gasped. "You’re stood up! Ty lee!" you scolded her and she rolled her eyes "i’m fine, plus you realise you’re practically holding me up?" She asked and you realised without meaning to you were, you had your arms around her waist and she was hovering off the floor. "Ow well...i guess this works". "So if i want to stand up i just have to hold onto you ever time i guess" Ty lee grinned and you blushed. "I mean i don’t object to that". Ty lee smiled and stared up at you "good". Ty lee kept gazing at you and you lasted second before you looked away embarrassed. You blushed and Ty lee laughed so you just pulled her into you so you couldn’t see her face. Ty lee chuckled “you’re adorable” and settled her head against your neck. “You’re one to talk” you replied and Ty lee blushed too.

So I got Ty lee feels which has honestly never happened to me before but now I am obsessed! So might do a part 2 because I have lots of Ty lee ideas rn 😂
