#So I may lose motivation

[asherisawkward]

So…

I was doing an rp with @sad-boy-coven and a few others where young Caleb and Philip (I was Caleb) fell into the Boiling Isles and then fell through a time pool, eventually meeting Lilith and Eda.

Caleb is initially friendly, though internally suspicious, and Philip is outright antagonistic at times. I’m a big fan of the idea that Caleb used to be as into witch hunting as Philip (and maybe even introduced him to it) but later realized it was wrong, so he suggests to Philip that niceties would be a good manner to win over the witches and capture them off guard.

Then, Philip likely being the child who caught the common cold every year since he was two and nearly died each time, gets the common mold.

See, the thing about time travel is that going back in time could create a plague from all the viruses, bacteria, etc. that you developed an immune defense that the people of the past would not be able to fight (see the Spanish Influenza as well as the growing resistances against antibiotics). Meanwhile, going to the future could kill you due to the aforementioned reason.

So Philip gets absolutely messed up by the modern common mold, so Lilith, not knowing better, gives him the medicine for it. The medicine that is made for witches, not humans. This would likely be toxic, so Philip becomes even more sick, and Caleb panics.

Prior to this, Caleb had been slowly opening up to the idea that witches weren’t as bad as Gravesfield and the Bible suggested. He had been slowly bonding with Lilith of older sibling issues and trauma.

After this, Caleb immediately reverts back to his “default programming” and assumes that everything the connected over was a trap in order to lower their guards to kill them. He then attempts to find his way through time pools to get back to town and see the minister/priest to beg him to save Philip.

He finds the time pool as Lilith catches up to them, but Philip is incredibly weak and at the edge of death.

In the rp, Caleb’s desperation to do anything to save his brother overcomes his distrust of Lilith, and he allows her to administer an antidote for the toxins that Philip ingested.

But…As soon as that happened…

If it matters to anyone, they ended up going to the demon realm because Caleb wanted to take Philip to the beach like he had wanted as a child. So cue feelings of guilt for the unintentional death of his brother.

This is the first post as I do not have character designs drawn up yet. In the actual canon of the AU, I might make it a Clawthorne ancestor (probably Evelyn) that the brothers meet (so they simply fall into the Isles rather than the future as well.) to make it more sensible and not have to worry about “the Bloodyfly Effect” as Lilith put it.

So now Caleb has been left entirely alone, been abandoned by the church when he needed it most, “tricked” by witches, and forced to bury his brother. Caleb would grow up to go on a full blown crusade to destroy witches.

In the most recent episode, For the Future, we see that Philip’s lies are slipping through his fingers—even the ones to himself. Caleb would not have that feeling because of how his brother died. (I am not sure how/if grimwalkers will be integrated.) However, his relationship with the Collector is more positive because it reminds him of Philip’s gremlin energy as a child.

More updates will come in the future.

Welcome to what I call the Relapse Au.

i wish i could hand over a part of my brain to everyone so you all could see my great ideas without me having to write them

[daily-lightbulbii]

(//i don't normally do text but cw in the tags erm. i went a little off track)

[des-fangirl]

Im fighting the artblock and overall low energy condition so i can't offer much for 25th of May but! If only you guys knew how many cool things about Night watch i have in my head rn...

Anyways, here's a wip :] im not sure if I'm gonna finish this really but i hope i do!! I love my idea mwah i wanna make it real, but for now we have this

i WANTED to draw a more detailed art with other characters from the book because well obviously the book isn't about just these two- but artblock said nah lol

[fenharel-babe]

Working on another solavellan fic, BUT this one will be only one chapter and possibly pretty long soooo…I’m excited lol.

[butchlifeguard]

attention spans dont real lmao. nothing about the condition or support needs of yr adhd can be measured by measuring yr attention span because the nature of adhd is that attention span is incredibly variable. this is bc adhd is characterized by dopamine seeking behavior and not just a timer until we get bored and go on our phones

[holographicbutch]

I love when I get home from work and immediately lose all energy and get really cold and don't want to even do the things I enjoy because I'm so tired. Who out there gets me

[junkmailmusubi]

oh yeah just a bit of a heads up. i didn't really want to spoil the surprise too much but i May be doing some very unreality-ish things on april fools'. if this happens i will be tagging as such but i won't be able to do much beyond posts. also it will be cool and i hope u like it 👍

Hcq Lore-ish Rant

WARNING: DISCUSSION OF LEAKS

I've been reading Jingliu's character stories and oh... OH... dear God am I in pain

First off, I'm not entirely sure who Jingliu's line of "I should kill you first... but you will have your own torment to bear for all of eternity." It could very well be directed at Yingxing like the structure of the paragraph seems to want to imply, HOWEVER countpoint

Yingxing falling into the mud almost gives the image that he is unconscious to me in some way, additionally, there is no actual dialogue/response that he gives to Jingliu which could support the idea that him falling into the mud is meant to describe him unconscious or unresponsive in some way. Which in that case, it could be seen that Jingliu's line was actually directed at Dan Feng who she right after saying that then points her sword at him. After all, her saying that line to someone unconscious (if we interpret the line as him falling unconscious etc etc. as I explained) wouldn't make the most sense to me?

If it was directed at Dan Feng there are two things, both of her lines would connect which I could see, she's saying that she really should kill Dan Feng first, that if his death could return everything to how it was she would do it, but since it won't he will have his own torment to bear for eternity. Additionally, we don't know? The actual exact timing of things yet, who's to say Yingxing had yet been turned into Blade at this point which would make the whole eternity , it's kind of unclear and all.

However, that interpretation could be wrong and it could in fact be directed at Yingxing, I dunno yet, we'll see.

Also goddamn the way The Preceptors absolutely set Dan Feng up is fucking cruel 😭 that man was set up!! And now for eternity his name is smeared and even his current incarnation hates him because of them and what he's been taught to the point of refusing to acknowledge how Dan Feng is an inseparable part of himself.

Also ALSO MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE CHARACTER STORIES, THE TRAGIC YURI OF JINGLIU AND BAIHENG IM IN SO MUCH PAIN! The way she speaks about her so personally, the way she can still even remember small details of happy memories they shared together, likely the happiest memories Jingliu experienced in her life, though parts of it may all be fuzzy. Like that's so... that hurts so much, Baiheng was taken too soon, Hyv was cruel to kill a character as kind as she 😭

And I saw Jingliu's animations and just the fact that her ultimate starts with her on the bow of a starskiff like truly hurts me deeply inside. AND THE FOX ON HER CASE TO REPRESENT BAIHENG WITH THE MOON BEING HERSELF

I hope we get more Baiheng lore, I'm so invested in her especially??? After learning from Jingliu's character stories that she was apparently a Nameless?? I hope we are able to hear about her time at some point even if it's just through like written archives or something. I just love Baiheng so much, she was such a clearly kind character evident from her travelogues and from what we have of Jingliu's character stories and voicelines

Sbe makes me so sad

((Apologies for not being on for a couple weeks. Just had massive brain rot and motivation tanked badly. Still sort of not motivated but I am going to attempt to get to most replies today.

Might put them in a queue though.))

how to stop thinking any good thing someone says to you (like compliments or being proud of you or other positive expressions such as these) is a lie just to be polite or bc they're biased and thus can't judge you work and your being objectively bc they love you. asking for a friend

[yuukei-yikes]

this still makes me so sick to my stomach and we dont talk abt it enough

the fact haruka really genuinely admits to being in love with takane and sees the difference of feelings by himself but his problem is rather that 1. he knows he will die so what's even the point 2. he has no self confidence so he cant take the lead to do something about it 3. he feels unworthy of having that kind of relationship with her if he says he feels like he doesnt have the right to say it. im gonna be fucking sick btw. bye

O want to read the most heartbreaking Lilia fanfic known to man-kind, and maybe a bit of comfort at the end

I want to cry. I want my tears to make a river.

i don't know How to do that pookie I'm literally just some silly girl who likes saying insane shit and causing chaos. I haven't even posted a smidge of my writing but. From the angst I've personally collected. I can tell that I'm just not good at writing it for established characters. Wait hold up. Wait never mind. I think I have an idea....

Are there any other characters you're particularly fond of?
