#I will write again

[lexxiie]

Hello! This is not a request, just a question

Don't you think Sahan from Unholy Blood is kind of similar to Nathaniel from Killer Peter?

I'm not talking about appearance, just the vibes around them. Because the first thing that pops to my mind when Nathaniel first appear is Sahan.

What do you think?

Btw, I love your Unholy Blood headcanons! Keep up the good work!

Hello Anon, you are absolutely CORRECT! My mind also went to Sahan immediately after I saw Nathaniel. They do have very similar vibes (they both look like snakes and wear a white robe lmao) but more importantly, both have this very dark hot villanous vibe.

Although if we dissect them a bit better, Nathaniel loooves children and apparently really cares for them, while Sahan quite literally sentenced to death a whole high school. I feel like the author made Nathaniel a bit more… humane? Idk. He’s also cooler in the sense that he’s actually a doctor, not just a counselor, gives him more depth ig.

Idk I’m actually so in love with him, anon, please forgive me. Killer peters characters are hot hot hot, look at John too!!!

Just sharing my fav panels of him omg

For the writing suggestions was sorta wondering earlier how it would go if a fragment of Roland had to take refuge in Lasky's CNI. I know that's not how they work but canon be damned.

We take a well-maintained chisel and hammer to the lore and perhaps the skull/neural lace and we do what we want. There are a thousand Halo Infinite AUs and what-ifs in my skull and I need to crack it open to get at them.

-

Red lights flash overhead, an alarm droning in the distance is drowned out by the falling footsteps marking their passage down the auxiliary hallway towards the last frigate stationed on the Infinity.

Two fireteams and the Spartan commander guard the remaining members of the command crew as explosions rock the ship and automated voices overlap, warning of incursions on multiple decks, loss of atmosphere in bays and hangars, all hands abandon ship, all hands-

Captain Thomas J Lasky shuts it out and focuses on the destination ahead of him. The hall is clear of smoke and debris and the screams he’s hearing are only ghosts echoing. His crew is pale faced, but determined. They might be leaving their home, but they’ve already gotten so many out.

His new passenger is quiet. There wasn’t enough time and Roland deserved more than to be pulled from his ship and thrown in a dark reinforced case, forced to wait for what would seem like an eternity to him until he was either freed or destroyed.

The fragment that floated in Lasky’s CNI had settled from ice water running through his nerves and a pounding headache to a distant presence. Gold tendrils faded in and out of focus in the corner of his eye and he could tell Roland was trying to put a buffer between him and the multitude of tasks he was juggling. Roland’s still communicating with the withering threads of himself in the ship’s circuits, clearing the way for his humans and keeping them updated on enemy movements.

The strain brings a new pain and Lasky feels moisture on his upper lip. Palmer slows as they reach a new junction and gunfire can be heard down the adjacent hallway. She narrows her eyes at him as he wipes the blood away. Gold rings brown and wide blown pupils meet hers.

“I could take him… if you can’t handle it.” She mutters as she checks over her shoulder.

“Is that concern I hear, Commander Palmer?” His grip tightens on his pistol and he sighs.

“Maybe.” Her brow furrows and the klaxons drone back into focus as gunmetal gray doors slide open and their ride sits waiting, backlit by bay doors glowing blue and the random explosion here and there as the Infinity’s guns rattle off. Maybe he shouldn’t have gotten his hopes up with the captaincy and the end of the war; the UNSC never won in space.

Sensing his mood or maybe just seeing his thoughts as they appear, Roland butts in even as Tom catches a trail of thoughts about evac routes and saving the science team’s data.

You don’t need to host me if it’s hurting. I could fly her solo, everyone-

“Roland.” he interrupts even if it gets him another look from Palmer. He sighs and gives her a look. The AI in his brain bristles for a moment, and he feels the waves of emotion rolling and crashing over each faster than he can fully process. The loading ramp is lowered and they’re almost out.

He takes one last look at his ship and then Sarah who’s herding Spartans and crew onto the dropship.

She’s taller from down here.

He huffs a laugh at the obvious distraction and mutters under his breath when Sarah shoots him a look.

“Any chance you’d let me fly?” He asks, already knowing her answer. He smiles as he’s able to get the great Sarah Palmer to pale, however briefly.

“No way in hell, Tom. Murphy’s taking us out.”

Murphy? Well, any landing you can walk away from and all that. I’ve seen his track record and it’s better than yours. Sir.

[heartbreakincident]

nothing but respect for our troops (smut writers) but listen. i dont want to be the person to tell you this, but not every character is going to be a dom or a sub. some people. and i know this is hard to hear. but some people do have vanilla sex. and some of those people might even be The Character.

I have finally finished season 2 of Arcane and can now enjoy your art without fear!!! They should be happy together 🥺

I take it "they" means zaundads because that is what I've been drawing the most BUT, lets be honest, applies to like 98% of the characters in the show.

They should've been a big happy familyyyy

[inkskinned]

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

And then these comments

Which makes me sad?

It’s already so hard to convince readers to be perceived and that commenting has value.

If you don’t want the deranged comments, please send them to me instead haha!

i love it when characters are codependent. i love it when losing someone feels like losing a limb. i love it when two people "complete" each other so wholly and terribly that one can barely function without the other. i love it when the fear of losing the only person who understands them is so all-consuming they'll destroy anything to stay together, including themselves.
