This

This is perfect

@112-darling~💕

Finished it. Alright, so this is a work of art. I'm so sad it seems abandoned and the creator is not even reblogging anything, so I believe their poof, gone. They will most likely come back eventually but for now, I'll feed your hunger.

Now I completely understand the AU you want me to make. It would be similar to @yandere-3-sagau's, yet different.

This is my rundown of my own AU for this, Simple!Creator!AU :

Now with the way I would have the Reader wake up in Liyue as well, though she doesn't run into a grandpa who takes care of her. She is aware that her blood is golden and she cries crystals, so she could never really be accused as an imposter, there's no worry on that part.

But Reader wants to live a quiet, peaceful life. She no longer has to worry about exams or deadlines. She finds an abandoned family cabin somewhere in the open fields of Liyue, renovating it herself to call it her own. The reader does farm work to get by, and with how much power she holds, all her fruits & vegetables are always sold out the fastest due to how fresh they are.

Word gets around about how amazing your supply is, and of course, eventually, even Zhongli is curious about the commotion.

So when he one day runs into Childe who had just gotten back from your stall and the ginger offers him some of your own fruits, he is, awestruck. Out of his 6000 years of experience, he had never tasted something so sweet & juicy. Not a single taste of bitterness in sight.

This couldn't have possibly been produced by a regular human being.

As an Ex-Overlord (Like An Archon, but we’re thinking of dynamics,) his suspension was too high for his too drop the concern so he hunts The reader down, eventually finds out the truth about who she really is and suddenly becomes as submissive as a loyal dog.

Though it feels nice, it’s not what she wants. So what else then to keep him on a leash, making a pact with him to silence The reader's existence. 

A LOT more happens, the story would be way more detailed but this is just a rundown. Each Genshin Man would discover her secret in different ways, and the reader eventually has them all wrapped around her fingertips.

The men are just happy to have their souls connected with the creators in some way.

I might make the pacts with Archon’s (including Neuvillette) a lot stronger, so they're somewhat more at her mercy, something in that manner.

What do you think? I’d like to hear more ideas and comments about this AU and how it should be constructed.

Taglist For Those Who Want To Maybe Contribute Ideas. Edit: The reader will be Gender Neutral, though it'll be my first time writing like that so please forgive mistakes.

I haven't posted in awhile so have some new art for my Diamond Swap AU (which is just some character designs)

I know I originally said that the fusion that was apart of Purple and White's rebel gems was a Garnet, but I decided to change that. Now the fusion is Anhydrite, a fusion of Aquamarine and Padparadscha. The two gems are from Yellow's court instead of Blue's court and the Off-Colors because I felt it fitting for the AU. Aquamarine is still the same from canon, just in Yellow's court instead, but has grown nicer over time with being fused with Pads. Pads is treated like other Sapphires, since she is one, but her future vision isn't like a normal Sapphire. Her future vision allows her to see things in the very near future (like when someone is literally about to enter the room to announce terrible news of a rebellion from the younger diamonds, who are gathering up their courts to help with protecting Earth from being colonized by Homeworld). It may seem useless at first, but she usually has more information on current situations due to being able to see all, within a certain range, of what is happening in the close future/the now. This makes her a valuable asset to the Diamonds as the rebellion takes place. However, Purple and White know this and try to use this against them.

Pads had been discussing with Yellow Diamond that Purple and White would arrive and be stopped as 7 gems would be poofed, herself included, during the fight. Just as Pads said that the two youngest diamonds did indeed show up and six gems were poofed, but before Pads could be poof Aquamarine pushed Pads out of the way, deeming her too valuable to be poofed at a time like this, causing the two to fuse into Anhydrite for the first time. This caused chaos and the two unfused before Aquamarine quickly rushed the two off the Cloud Arena down to Earth. (basically following the story of Garnet).

They weren't quick to fuse again, making sure to find somewhere safe to be since they knew that gems of their class weren't supposed to fuse together. Pads tried to see when they would each chance she got, but Aquamarine always managed to do something she never could predict, leaving her in the dark about their future. Aquamarine mostly acted like she didn't actually enjoy fusing as much as she actually did. She just feared that if they fused again that trouble would so follow. However, she couldn't deny the longing to be something more than just an aquamarine and padparadscha with Pads. Soon the two would fuse once more, still unsure of who they new were, but loved every second of it. Eventually the two would be found by Purple and White and be asked to join their cause to protect the Earth, a place where the two could exist as Anhydrite for as long as they wanted and others could do the same.

I'm really putting more thought into this au than my main one this is based on lol. Anyways, if you liked the art feel free to like and reblog it! Reblogs really help spread this to others who may enjoy it too ^w^ Have a wonderful day and always remember to stay creative!!!!

100 Follower Raffle!!

Oh my goodness y'all! I didn't really expect this blog to get to where it is, let alone 100+ Followers!! And for that I want to thank you ever so much!! <333 To give back to y'all I am gonna do a raffle for y'all! I'm gonna break my own personal rule of not editing the save files and edit the save file...oops. It's my blog I do what I want hehe! This is all so you can have a chance of one of your characters / so you can design a character to JOIN NectarClan and the roster of characters there! (And hopefully I don't break my game in doing so >_>)

[EDIT] - There is a possibility that I may pick 2 winners With one of them being a kit!

Also if you have any questions feel free to slide me a message!

Some things to keep in mind before entering:

This character is going to have an outsider background. Feel free to choose what you'd like and I'll best accomplish this.

I will do my best to get the sprite to look right, but I can't promise it'll look exact! (I am very new to editing these files) But when I draw them I will be using the design you provide me.

Like with the sprite, I will do my best to do the skills and personality! Fingers crossed for it all.

NectarClan is all RNG based, so what happens to this character, happens. I do not control the die. Your character could live a long happy life with a long legacy left behind or they could die tomorrow! So I can only apologise if they don't live up to your expectations within NectarClan, but sometimes we gotta roll with it!

While I consider NectarClan characters as my characters, I will NEVER consider this character as mine, this is entirely your character. But you must keep in mind that I will be drawing this character, others may draw them, and they will likely grow their own lore and relationships in NectarClan. Perhaps consider this character as an AU of said character.

You are more than welcome to create this character specifically for NectarClan. Although they will still be Your Character. Although again as I mentioned what happens to them happens. I am doing my best not to control, relationships, mentorships, kits, death and ranks, etc.

Any unnatural designs will be, made to look more natural to fit in with NectarClan!

In game they are basically going to just poof into existence, but we'll fix that through the blog ;)

This character will join the clan on moon 24! (so there is a little bit of a wait)

How to enter / Rules:

You need to be following NectarClan to enter. New followers are always welcome!!

To enter, you need to reblog this post with the character you want to have added. This must include the design, Personality trait, and the skill + Any other information you think I'd need!

The character must be owned by you / designed by you! Please don't be taking people's characters.

If you reblog from an alt / different blog, please add which blog is following NectarClan!

Raffle will end, 2nd of April! And I will message the winner!

Depending how this goes, I may do this again for the [Insert number here] Follower milestone, or I might do something different, we'll see!

Something I forgot about the difference between Tumblr and Instagram (or at least the one I'm thinking about right now) is that I'll post something on Instagram, get the handful of likes from the regulars, and then poof. It's gone. Off to the ether with you. Guess I'll have to post something new

Meanwhile on Tumblr, I am STILL regularly getting likes on the bifrost incident stained glass piece. Definitely not as many but they're still coming. USUALLY it's the few people I'm friends with sharing a thing once or twice and then that goes into the ether too, but when one of my drawings goes past the normal circle of friends I'm getting notifs on that for DAYS.

Plus, it's never fully gone! I can go reblog my older art whenever I want! Whereas on Instagram you'd just. I don't know. Post the same thing again? Which sucks. What if I just want to remind someone that something exists? What if I don't have anything new or special to say? What if I just went "Oh yeah I still really like this piece" and then I bring it back to the top so other people can see it too.

Also the you can only post squares thing. Who the HELL made a site around sharing art and images and said you can only use perfect squares. FUCK you

Title: Welcome to the Underworld

Part 1 of my "16-Bit Heart" series!

Parings: None!

Summary:

Mirai wants to game again, and when his new friend Lilia introduces him to an online game, "Forever True", he meets some new friends.

cw: None!

Reblogs are appreciated, just use my custom tag, #TheMaladaptiveWriter12, if you do!

Cross posted from my Ao3: TheMaladaptiveWriter12

Since coming to Night Raven College Mirai has come to learn so many new things. Things like the existence of magic and magic academy’s, things like signature spells, talking pictures, and things like Overblots. There was so much to do, so much to see, but in the end, Mirai missed playing video games. Mirai was a gamer at heart, and he was bummed out he was without his gaming console that was back at home. So Mirai asked Sam, he always had the most random things in stock, and even if he couldn’t afford the system now, at least he would know how much he would have to save for it. 

Mirai left the shop a little broken-hearted, but a little more determined. They went for the price as most systems go, but with how much he made working two days at Sam’s and how much he spent a week on food and such, he’d have to save for several months. He guessed he’d have to stick with his mobile games for now. 

“Hello, Dear Prefect,” an unfamiliar baritone voice called.

Mirai whipped his head around and was met with an unfamiliar, yet familiar, short Diasomnia student. “Uh, have we met?” Mirai asked wearily.

Mirai had heard many things about the students from Diasomnia, most of which wasn’t good, but Mirai was never quick to judge, especially if it was from the mouth of another person. But from experience, Mirai was always on guard of people who addressed him with familiarity, especially when they didn’t know each other. 

“Yes, but briefly. Does the name Lilia Vanrouge ring a bell?” the short male Mirai now knew as Lilia Vanrouge asked.

After a moment of thought, Mirai remembered Lilia from his first day there at NRC. He had “poofed” himself between Ace and Deuce to introduce himself personally. 

“Ah, I do,” Mirai nodded, “You teleported across the room to our table.”

“Yes I did,” Lilia smiled, “You have a good memory.”

The pair sat there in an awkward silence, well at least to Mirai it was. Lilia just stood there, a wide smile on his cherubic face, but his sharp teeth made it a little unsettling.

“Uh, so, do you need something from me?” Mirai asked, teetering back and forth on his feet, fiddling with his phone in his hands. 

“Oh yeah,” Lilia perked up, “So I couldn’t help overhear your little conversation with Sam, so I thought I’d make a proposition. You take Malleus with you to the Housewarden events, so he is able to attend, and I give you my old gaming PC.”

Mirai briefly lit up before his face fell again, “That doesn’t seem like a fair trade.”

“Oh but it is, my sweet child. You see, Malleus never gets invited to these things, he’s always out of the loop. I can’t help but to feel bad for him. So, you inform him or take him with you so that he can attend with his fellow Housewardens.”

“No, no,” Mirai said steadily, “I’m pretty sure you, having me, inform your Housewarden on events that everyone forgets to invite him to, does not pay the price of a gaming PC.”

“Why not?” Lilia asked curiously, tilting his head to the side, touching his finger to his chin.

“Because it costs money. Wouldn’t you want to get your bucks worth for your things?”

“But I’m not using it anymore. So why not just give it away when it still works just fine?”

“I’d just feel bad for taking it without giving you something for its worth.” 

“Stay for dinner tonight and then I���ll give you the PC,” Lilia said, pulling a piece of candy from his grocery bag, pressing into Mirai's hand. “And come to Diasomnia on Thursdays for tea, we don’t get visitors much.”

Lilia waved with a wide smile and skipped off towards the Hall of Mirrors. 

“O-Okay,” Mirai muttered.

Mirai stayed for dinner that night, his desire to game far too strong to ignore. It wasn’t as bad as he thought it would be. The food was good and so was the company. Malleus and Lilia were happy for his company, Silver was indifferent so to speak. Whereas he didn’t have anything to say about his presence, he was either soft spoken and quiet, or he was trying to stay awake at the table. Sebek Zigvolt didn’t seem to want him there, always grumbling, making his displeasure known. But all in all, they were a nice bunch to hang out with. After dinner, Lilia brought him to his room to get the PC, and Mirai was ecstatic. When Lilia said old, he thought it was gonna be more than five years old, but Lilia had said he had won the better model in a contest and the PC was only a year old, and it was modified. 

“Got any recommendations?” Mirai asked as they toted the system back to Ramshackle. 

“Depends on what you like,” Lilia smiled.

“I like anything, really. RPGs, FPSs, MMORPGs, survival, farming, romantic dating sims.” 

Lilia smirked, eyeing him knowingly.

Mirai paused, catching the last thing he had listed, “Forget you heard that last one.”

Lilia chuckled before perking up, “Oh! I have a recommendation you might like!”

Mirai checked out the game right after classes the next day. Lilia said it was one of the most popular MMORPGs at the moment. You could create your own character, which Mirai spent three hours doing the first night, not even getting to actually play, which he was bummed out about. Mirai could also choose a race of people ranging from Elves, Dwarves, Dragons, Feas, Humans, and more. Mirai made his character a Werecat. Although he didn’t want the character to look exactly like him, Mirai still made it in his likeness. He was blonde like him, but he made his hair long and flowy. Mirai gave the Werecat scars as well, they littered his arms, his face, and back. He gave them tattoos like he had, the images and Cat tribal markings on his back and arms, and Mirai gave him piercings like his, except they were in his cute pointy cat ears. He was very tall and slim, curvy and fair. And lastly, Mirai had to choose a class. There were so many to choose from and in the end, Mirai picked the Bard, but he danced. When he healed he would sing and play an instrument, the song different for each ailment, and to rally an ally, he would dance, each dance different for what he was rallying his team for. And for the hardest part playing these types of games, naming the character, and it took a while. Just like how these types of games go, you can’t have repeat names and such, which led Mirai having to spend thirty minutes trying out name after name. But luckily, the name Apollo worked. 

He was actually quite proud of what he made, the overall look was elegant, yet fierce, kinda like a number of guys Mirai knows around here. But that happy feeling was short-lived, because when Mirai looked at the time, it was three in the morning, which meant no actual gaming tonight, so he saved his preset and went to bed. 

 Mirai was three weeks into playing the game Lilia had suggested, Forever True was the name, and he was hooked. Lilia gave him his friend code and they had been playing together ever since. Mirai liked Lilia’s character, Crimson Muscle. He was really tall and buff, long black hair, pale skin and pointy ears. But he was strong. He could fight from the shadows and suck people’s life sources, perform sneak attacks with a huge broadsword, and summon little monsters that helped in the fight. And did Mirai mention that Lilia’s character could heal himself with the blood of his enemies? And of course Lilia and he had many photo ops everywhere they went. In the little bakery? Yep. How about in the middle of the town plaza? Absolutely. On the bloody pile of their dead enemies? Totally. The contrast between Lilia’s character with his black cloak, and red body armor, and Mirai’s Werecat’s white dancer outfit and gold bangles, they looked good together.

 The game also had a story mode, side quests, and character stories you could complete. There were also daily events, and challenges you could complete for gold or points. And if you weren’t feeling any of that, you could just chat with people and friends, do silly emotes, and chill.

Lilia had walked him through the prologue, and after a while, Mirai found that Lilia would have Mirai rally him, just so that he could see his character dance, not that he was mad or anything, because he liked the animation as well. But there were some days Lilia couldn’t play, or some days when Lilia’s guild needed him. Mirai didn’t mind playing solo, but sometimes it was nice to have a friend to play with. 

“I’m sorry I couldn’t play with you yesterday,” Lilia apologized through Mirai’s headset.

“It’s okay, Lilia,” Mirai reassured. 

“I have a suggestion, why don’t you find a guild for yourself, or start one? I’d love to have you join mine, but sadly, I’ve reached my member limit.”

“It’s okay. I don’t, I don’t know if I could handle being guild leader, but joining a guild doesn’t sound that bad.”

And it really didn’t. That way he could make some friends, and play with them when Lilia wasn’t around. That also gave him access to team events, the Guild Store, extra XP, the Guild Hub, and not to mention Guild Wars. 

“Marvelous,” Lilia chirped, “I’ll help.”

Lilia helped Mirai the first day, but they couldn’t find anything that he liked. The next day Lilia couldn’t sign on, so Mirai continued his search on his own. Mirai spent hours looking through the Guild List but nothing stood out to him. Too many of them had either inappropriate guild names or descriptions, too many of the same class, or weren’t serious. Things like “chat and date,” “just for fun,” “I don’t log on for days at a time,” and so much worse. Mirai was a serious gamer, he took all his games seriously, he wanted a guild that had the same mindset as him, and as the night waned on, he still found nothing.

The next night Mirai came across a guild that had posted a wanted order on the Guild notice board.

“Gloomurai here. We’re looking for a new healer for our guild, since our last one quit. At this point, we don’t care what lvl you are, we are willing to train you, as long as you log in, do your dailies, and are able to participate on Friday’s for our dungeon raids. Pls DM me if you are interested. - Gloomurai.”

Mirai got his hopes up a little. He was a healer, he did his dailies, and he needed a guild. Mirai hurriedly clicked on the guild leader’s name and shot them a message, hoping that they were still online to see it. In the meantime, Mirai got up to use the bathroom, taking a detour to the kitchen for a snack, and when he came back he had a little red dot over his inbox. Mirai hoped it was from the guild leader as he hurriedly opened his inbox. It was. 

Gloomurai: Do you have a mic? It’d be easier.

Apollo: I do.

Gloomurai: Cool. Let me add you to a private voice chat. 

A couple of seconds later, Mirai got a voice chat invite. 

“You hear me okay?” a deep lethargic voice asked.

Mirai froze, his heart literally skipping a beat at the deep, almost gravelly sound of the guy's voice. Mirai tried to keep his cool, but he was failing miserably. 

“Y-Yeah,” Mirai answered.

“Kay, cool. Ima cut to the chase. I’m picky with what people join my guild. I didn’t get to be one of the top guilds in the server with a bunch of scrubs and noobs in my guild.”

“I-I understand.”

“So tell me about your character. Class, HP, MP, level, stats, like abilities and stuff,” Gloomurai rambled.

“O-Oh sorry, uh, I chose, I chose the Bard,” Mirai stammered.

“Oh, we don’t have many of those in this server, and we don’t have one in our guild, continue.”

“I’m level fifteen, my HP is twenty-four thousand, six hundred and three, my MP is twenty-three thousand, five hundred and eighty-five, uh, my stats, uh, I choose the subclass of dancer and I heal with music and buff with dancing.”

“What abilities did you pick?”

“I have the Harpestry skill for nullifying poison, paralysis, magic seals, and I’m currently working on one for bleeding, and for the buffs, I can add shields, I can up attack damage, magic damage, and I’m working on critical hit damage.”

“Cool, we can work on sharpening those skills,” Gloomurai said thoughtfully, “Do you log in daily?”

“I mean, I just started, but I do, but I’m in school right now, so I can’t log on until after classes,” Mirai supplied.

“Ditto man. Wish I didn’t have to though.”

Mirai internally rejoiced that him being a student wouldn't be held against him with the Guild Leader being a student as well. But Mirai also couldn’t help but be surprised with how much the guy was able to accomplish with being a full time student. 

“Next question, are you serious about playing? Of course we’re all here to have fun, but I play to win,” Gloomurai asked. 

“I’m a tryhard through and through,” Mirai smirked.

Gloomurai giggled and Mirai hoped that it was a good sign rather than a bad one.

“Friday nights at nine, we start a dungeon raid. These are mandatory. The more we raid the more the guild ranking goes up, the more EXP we get, and the more rewards we get.”

“Uh, I have something to do on Friday evenings, but other than that, nine is normally free for me.”

There was some silence on the other end, all Mirai could hear was the guys breathing and quiet muttering through his headset. Mirai jumped when the guy spoke again.

“You are the only person who's gotten this far in my interview, so Ima do this,” Gloomurai proposed, “Let me see you in action, let me see how you work on the field, under pressure. If you can pass that test, then you’re in.”

“Okay, fair enough,” Mirai accepted.

Gloomurai chuckled again, “Good. Hope you’re ready, because I don’t go easy on newbs.”

A couple of seconds later, Mirai got a guild invite. He accepted it.

“Now that you’re in the guild, you can see all your guild members on the map. Teleport to me,” Gloomurai instructed. 

Mirai opened his map and low and behold, he had a bunch of blue dots on his map. Mirai hovered over them and all of them were loads of levels ahead of him, not one in the double digits like he was. Mirai made his way over to one that had a crown in it, which he assumed was the Guild Leader, and when he hovered over it and Gloomurai’s name lit up. Mirai clicked it and a couple of options popped up, he clicked teleport, and after a brief loading screen, Mirai’s character was teleported into an open field standing next to another player. It was Gloomurai. His character looked so cool, he just had to be a veteran player. His character was tall with pale skin with piercing gold eyes, and the side of his face was bone. His hair was long and white, with an obsidian crown atop his head. He was in a mixture of black robes with gold chain armor on top, and his character seemed to glitter and sparkle, black fog billowing from the bottom of his robes. And on his back was a black bone scythe, dripping with red.

“That Scythe is so cool,” Mirai gushed, walking his character around Gloomurai’s so he could get a better look at it.

Gloomurai chuckled, “Thx. It took me forever to get this weapon. It was a limited edition reward for their anniversary event and I had to farm for six days straight just to meet the requirements, not to mention that it will never break or have to be repaired. Only the top ten got the reward, and I came in first place.”

“Congrats,” Mirai said.

“Thx. You don’t look bad yourself.”

Mirai scoffed, “Oh save your empty praises. We all know the newbs look the worst.”  

“N-No, no, really, you look great.”

Suddenly three more players teleported into the area. One an Elf, another was a Skeleton, and the last some type of giant, maybe an Ogre. 

“Here, join the guild chat,” Gloomurai said, sending him another invite. 

Once Mirai joined the chat, there were so many other voices ringing out in his headset. 

“Oh! Is she our new healer?!” the Ogre with a mid ranged voice asked.

“She’s cute! How old is she?! Is she single?!” the Skeleton with a sultry male voice asked, his character jumping up and down.

“Gloomurai’s cat fetish is showing,” the Elf with a soft voice teased.

The other two laughed.

“Between you and me,” the Ogre started, “Gloomurai here as a cat fetish. Anything related to cats and he goes berserk.”

“I do not,” Gloomurai shouted, offended.

“So why does our guild’s common room have cat cushions?”

“What about the cat rugs?” The Skeleton asked.

“What about the three actual cats in our guild house?” The Elf asked.

“Shut up,” Gloomurai grumbled, “My dorm doesn’t allow pets okay?!”

The three laughed at Gloomurai’ distress. Mirai giggled as well.

“Aw! She even sounds cute,” the Skeleton cooed, “I’m Rocinante! And don’t worry hun, Roci here will treat you real nice.”

“Roci’s being nasty again,” the Elf whined.

“Leave her alone,” the Ogre shouted, “And don’t come crying to us over Keyboard when you’re reported again.”

Gloomurai sighed, “Apollo is a guy, not a girl. No he is not our healer yet. I wanna see if he can keep up with us. And Roci, say something like that again and I’m muting you, you will use nothing but in-game commands.”

Rocinante fell silent.

“Oops, sorry dude,” the Ogre said, “Your cat looked kinda girly so I assumed. I’m Khan by the way.”

“You say that, but everyone thought Leslie was a girl for the longest,” Roci laughed.

“Leslie is a guy's name too,” the Elf shouted.

“Says you,” Rocinante muttered. 

Suddenly the Elf pulled out a lance and began stabbing at the Skeleton.

“H-Hey! Hey,” Rocinante shouted, “He’s stabbing me! Leslie’s stabbing me!”

“Bzt! No purposeful friendly fire,” Gloomurai droned. 

Rocinante’s health was extremely low, his character hunched over, holding his middle as he bled out onto the ground. Mirai clicked his healing ability, and his cat pulled out a harp and with flourish, and Rocinante was back at full health.

“Thank you, my little angel,” Rocinante cried, “At least someone cares for me!”

“Aww. His little dance at the end was so cute,” Khan cooed.

Gloomurai’s chat bubble appeared on the side of the screen, but no words were being said.

“Gloomurai?” Rocinante called, “Gloomurai? You okay there boss?”

“Gloomurai.exe has stopped working,” Leslie laughed. 

The three laughed.

“So, what are we supposed to be doing boss?” Rocinante asked.

“U-Uh, uh, we, we, uh, we’re training! We're training Apollo,” Gloomurai stammered. 

Khan, Leslie, Rocinante, and Mirai laughed.

“We’re gonna go kill some mobs and I wanna see if Apollo can keep his cool under pressure and if he can take commands if need be,” Gloomurai explained. 

“Alright cool,” Khan said.

Gloomurai led the group over to where a horde of Ligers were grazing. There were six of them in total and they were levels way higher than Mirai’s.

“U-Uh,” Mirai stammered, “I don’t think I can take those on. I’m, I’m only level fifteen.”

“Don’t worry about that,” Gloomurai said, “All I want is to see if you can heal. I won’t count it against you if you die, and if you do, I can resurrect you. I’m a reaper afterall.”

“O-Okay.”

“Ready, Apollo?” Leslie asked, wielding his lance with a flourish. 

“Yeah.”

The battle wasn’t even halfway over and Mirai was feeling the heat. Khan, the Ogre was a Tank, subclass Berserker. He wielded a great sword and a huge shield. His HP bar was quite high and he came with a built-in shield as well. His attacks were heavy in damage, but he sacrificed his mobility for his strength. He had this move where he would spin in a circle and carve through a group of enemies, sending them flying, and another where he slammed his shield on the ground, stunning enemies for a short period of time. Mirai knew he could leave him on his own for a bit and he would be fine, but he also made sure to boost his speed with a dance.

The weakest was the Skeleton, Rocinante. He was a Thief, subclass Wraith. He was quick, his attacks from behind doing the most damage because of this, he had the lowest HP of their little group, not including Mirai himself that is. Rocinante would jump, flip, and spin as he threw knives at the Ligers and when he got hit, Mirai was quick to heal him. And when Rocinante went into the shadows, Mirai would boost his attack damage, helping him land fatal attacks. 

Leslie, the lancer Elf’s subclass was knight, and was strong, but his attack speed was kinda slow. When he swung his lance, it left him open for a good amount of time, and if they were going against actual players and not a bunch of mobs, he would probably be a goner, so Mirai made sure he had a shield at all times. Leslie had a move where he would launch himself off his lance before summoning it again, spearing the Liger in the head. Mirai liked that move the most.

Gloomurai was better off than the rest of them. He was level six hundred and eighty six and way stronger than them all. He really didn’t attack anything, since he was way too strong for the Ligers and killed one in one hit. Even though it was just a game, Mirai felt as if he was actually being watched, but all in all, Mirai hoped he was making this guy's expectations. 

When the last Liger dropped to the ground, leaving a bloody corpse behind, Mirai let out a sigh of relief. Mirai never died like he thought he would, and he managed to keep their little team alive as well. 

“Whoo,” Leslie cheered, “That went well, great even!”

“Better than expected, honestly,” Khan said.

“You held yourself pretty well out there, congrats,” Rosinante said. 

“Th-Thanks,” Mirai stuttered, flushing under the attention. 

“So,” Khan pried, “How’d he do boss?”

“He did pretty well, better than what I expected. And he can take commands really well, not only that he didn’t cave in a fight. Although for him to reach his full potential, I need to help max out his healing class, but give him a means to attack so he can also help with our damage output, and defend himself. How about a lance? A javelin? Maybe throwing knives?” Gloomurai rambled. 

“This sounds promising,” Khan sang.

“It’s gonna take a while, but at least we got what we were looking for, not to mention a class we don’t have, and he’s a cat.”

Mirai and the other three snickered.

“So, Apollo, how was that? How do you feel?”

“Uh, uh fine? Good?” Mirai stammered.

“Good. I wanna help you with leveling up your character’s stats, can I do that?” Gloomurai asked.

“Y-Yeah, sure.”

Gloomurai giggled, “So how would you feel about becoming our new Bard?”

“I, uh, yes, if, if you’ll have me that is.”

“Well, then, Apollo,” Gloomurai said, “I hereby announce your acceptance to the guild. Congrats.”

“Yes,” Rocinante cheered.

“Congrats, dude,” Khan said happily.

“Alright,” Leslie hollered.

“Th-Thanks guys,” Mirai flushed.

“And without further adieu” Gloomurai said, his character doing a little cheer, sparkles coming off of him, “Bum bum ba-da bum bum bum bum! Welcome to the Underworld, Apollo.”

caught up w dungeon meshi ooooughhhh hohhh IM GONNA GO OFF ABOUT STUFF SORRY SORRY dungeon meshi spoilers !!

want to say first off thing i wanna ramble is yaad and the rest of the old kingdom..

cause yeah no marcille is prob totally right that they arent turning to dust cos the the dungeon border broke and spilled out.

like remember they turn to dust cos of the crossing the border. before recent events, the dungeon held all the "magic" from the winged lion. it was stuck in there only. so of course they would turn to dust past it.

the flashbacks further clear up things

dungeon was like a space the winged lion existence was trapped within in a sense. before that it seemed their "power" was more unlimited. like they say in this chapter the world became/was an extension.

so yknow. stands to reason breaking the border and having the winged lion all leak out would mean than now the old kingdom should not turn to dust.

HOWEVER HOWEVER

marcile also brings up the point:

like she said earlier we can assume that effects of dungeon arent gonna dissipate right away despite the winged lion being "gone"

like yknow like a side affect

but then why did the dungeon collapse more suddenly. i think i understand why. but im not sure how to word it right now. but i think it important to think about want the dungeon was.

either way. the lion's influence slowly dissipating over time?? hoh??? now that interesting?? how that'll affect the old kingdom ppl and the dungeon monsters. just HRM...

ANYWAY thats that about that.

I ALSO wanted to talk about Laios right now cause. Aheem.

it is no surprise to me that he feels like this.

i mean he did just give into his darkest desires in such a big exposed way. the winged lion was correct in many ways about laios during their big conversation in Winged Lion III

like ive said before, its easy to peg laios as just a silly weirdo with a silly monsters obsession but it was never actually just a silly thing. it was always this open peephole into someone with a very concerning relationship with humanity.

he lived a miserable life alienated from other people. laios was a man who ultimately did not want to deal with humanity anymore. so he latched onto monsters instead in escapism.

a part of laios really did prefer monsters over people.

and THIS has been a major thing in laios' arc throughout the whole manga. this is a manga about desire in many ways. how ppls desires can be selfish, complex, and dark. and laios has been lead by his from the start...

BUT in his journey he has developed genuine connections with others and it has reflected change in that complicated humanity of his. And that has become his conflict.

The part of him still attached to the humanity that has become meaningful to him. His sister. His friends. The vulnerable part that still wants it all.

vs

The part of him that honestly still feels like throwing humanity away. Not bother with all the struggle of it all. Give into the ultimate escapism.

Because isnt that what ultimately the Winged Lion provided to humanity? It is literally the magic being you daydream about that will just poof make u free and fulfilled.

But thats not it works. Blinds you from reality. From actually dealing with things. I think Laios finally realized this.

Laios decided to literally eat his escapism away. Let go.

But to have gotten to that point he still first had given in. And Falin's fate is more uncertain.

Thank god for everyone like "Fuck you! We still care about you!" when they found him... Dude's prob feeling immense guilt.

ANWAY IM DONE IVE WRITTEN THIS IN A HAZE ITS 6AM AND IM EMBARRASSED SO U CANT REBLOG THIS BUT U CAN REPLY OR WHATEVER AA

[prussianenigma]

i love tumblr bc i’m essentially screaming into the void, talking to a brick wall but with the feeling of actually posting something

[adhd-attention-deficit-dumbass]

Do you have any executive dysfunction hacks?? More specifically ones that relate to schoolwork and keeping myself motivated? Love your blog by the way 💖💖

Omg thank you so so much it makes me so happy to hear that you like my blog you are literally the sweetest🥺💕💖💘

I’m really sorry this took so long to answer I have been having the hardest time with executive dysfunction lately (ironically) and I procrastinated answering.

Hackning your executive dysfunction ✨

+Study edition📚📝

#1 Learn your triggers and how to spot executive dysfunction🧠

A lot of times I can tell that certain circumstances makes my executive dysfunction worse. And recognising these ”triggers” can help you become more aware of your behaviors. Knowing what contributes to your executive dysfunction will help you work towards creating strategies to overcome it.

A few examples of my triggers:

Not getting dressed in the morning

Skipping meals🍳

Working from home 🏡

Not washing my face in the morning🧼

Not using my calendar 🗓

Skipping workouts 🏋️‍♀️

Not brushing my teeth

Now a lot of these are tied to my physical health and hygiene and sometimes these are things that my exectutive dysfunction keep me from doing. But I try to look at them as medicine. I have to eat and brush my teeth and workout because it makes my brain and body happy. It’s hard but with practice you’ll get there.

By avoiding your triggers you’re at least setting yourself up for succsess. As silly as it sounds. Getting dressed in the morning can make the difference between lying on the couch all say and having anxiety because I haven’t gotten anything done and actually being productive and beating my executive dysfunction.

#2 Plan everything and write it down🗓✏️

I have a lot of issues with working memory. It’s just not there a lot of days. I forget everything. When I’m trying not to forget things, I’m spending a lot more energy than non ADHD people just trying to remember. Now this is a lot of energy that you can save by simply writing it down. Use a planner or a to do list or fifty of them if you have to.

I use a very simple system for this. I take a piece of paper and write ”to do” then I make 2 seperate colums. Above the first I write ”overall” or something like it. There I write down literally everything I can think of. ”Study” ”shower” ”laundry” ”make to do list” ” ”put away dirty socks” ”think about what to make for dinner” whatever, big or small.

Once that list is finished, I write above the second column ”today” and I pick from the first list what things I need/want to have finished on the same day. Try not to go overboard with this one. Think baby steps. It’s easy to become excited and think that you’re going to do everything because you often will get a burst of energy from planning stuff but stick to maybe 4-5 things a day at first.

Now the hardest part is to keep doing it. Usually you do really good for 2 weeks and then forget about it. Especially when the benefits are starting to show, you tend to forget your system because things are doing so good and then you stop and end up right where you started.

The way I (sort of) solved this was to make weekly ”evaluations”. What I do is I sit down and evaluate how much I planned this week and how much of what I planned I actually acomplished. By doing this I held myself accountable.

#3 ”The one thing” strategy

Now if all else fails despite your best efforts and you have no energy or motivation to do any of the things you want/have to, this is a good strategy to get yourself into a more productive mindset or at least check one thing of your to-do list.

It’s pretty much self-explanatory. You pick one thing and one thing only, even if you have a mountain of things that has to get done. Ignore them. All of them. They don’t exist anymore, they’re poofed out out existance for now.

Instead put your energy into doing one productive thing. After you finished the one thing you’re done. 100% done. No more doing stuff for you. You get to throw yourself back in bed if you like, or get a snack, whatever.

What usually happens however is that you’ll feel more energized and motivated by having completed a task and you’ll feel like continuing. If that’s the case, GREAT, if not you at least got 1 thing done instead of nothing.

#4 Find a studying technique that actually works for you🔑

I’m going to be brutally honest with you. This right here☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻is what made the difference between passing and not passing my exams this year.

I struggled for a really long time with my studies, No matter if I spent 5 hours reading a text book it just. Didn’t. Stick. And I used to get so upset because I was trying sooooo hard and everyone else could do it so why not me? It really lowered my motivation because no matter how hard I tried I always failed.

I watched hundreds of ”how to study” and ”study tips” videos on youtube and read tumblr posts but I still never really understood why I was having such a hard time until I tried using flashcards and it changed my whole view on studying.

It turned out I wasn’t stupid or lazy. I could understand everything on the page but as soon as I had read it, it was gone. I couldn’t remember any of it so it didn’t matter that I actually understood the subject quite well because I could never remember the contents.

What changed the game for me entirely was switching entirely over to flash cards and memory based studying. I went from failing entirely to actually getting really good results.

(A lot of people with ADHD struggle with memory so I would suggest always incorporating a lot of ”memory based” studying even if your best study technique is based on a different strategy)

The moral of the story is that sometimes we struggle without knowing why and it’s only by trying new things that we find out that maybe we weren’t lacking the ability as much as we thought, we just needed the right key to unlock it.

I hope you find some of these tips at least a little bit helpful and i wish you luck with your studies📚✨

Feel free to comment/reblog with your own tips and hacks for executive dysfunction/study motivation☺️✨

Hi I’m see the wind archer x dad reader it cute can you do a second part I’m wanna know that happens next please

eh? Nani- why do you guys like it so much TvT my other posts haven't even gotten enough shine yet- Nvm. But still, it's gonna become a series at this point.

𝒮𝓉𝑜𝓅 𝒽𝒾𝒹𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓌𝑒 𝓀𝓃𝑜𝓌 𝓎𝑜𝓊'𝓇𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒

Genre: Fluff, so much of that stuff. Characters: Wind Archer cookie, Sobert shark cookie, Chess Choco cookie, reader. Pronouns: Male, he/him. Summary: Just some screentime of what the adults do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ꔫ Poof, a sequel has finally happened.

ꔫLittle you accidentally found yourself being corned and bombed by your children the heaviest load of questions he's been asked.

ꔫ"OoOooOoooooOOo?!" and "Did you two get together?! Are we finally gonna get another dad?! Are we having another sibling?!?!"

ꔫ Ok, the last question made your brain die a bit there-

ꔫ "Calm down you three, don't you see your Papa close to death because of embarrassment"

ꔫ Ah yes, he forgot the important detail about this reunion. He was married to Wind Archer from the start, the kids came as a surprise-

ꔫ"You three we need to talk... Wind Archer has always been your dad from the start."

ꔫ Imagine the shock and betrayal all of them felt when they saw you and Wind Archer close together.

ꔫ From the start the reason why you and your beloved was separated was because of the Dark Flour war and other than that you two needed a break.

ꔫ Wind Archer and you were different and this had always put a rift between you two seeing as you just want to settle down and live a normal life, and him wanting to cleanse the world of its corruption caused many arguments between you two.

ꔫYou and Wind Archer took a break, even if your hearts longed for each other but you two needed time to mend over from being with each other.

ꔫ Soon you two almost forgot about each other, well it's what you think at least hoping that he'd forget about you and move on since he kinda deserves it.

ꔫ To cope with the void in your heart you had filled it with your beautiful children and it had done quite a successful job. You even found a job and supported the little family you made, but still, it felt so missing without him.

ꔫAnd yes, you two were married. For the sake of this story-

ꔫWhen you had seen Wind Archer again, he didn't look very good. Messy attire and eye bags while you were doing great forgetting about him, you still love this cookie with all of your heart after all.

ꔫAfter talking it out you two got together again and had a healthy relationship too.

ꔫ Afterwards you told him about the children and surprisingly he took the children thing kinda chill, he even meet them with you and believes it or not he was really good with them.

ꔫ"So... me and your dad had some complications and we had to be far apart and while being far apart it also lead me to find you three and soon after your father"

ꔫYou were really nervous, the children had never known of Wind Archer's existence before until recently and you were worried that they wouldn't like him.

ꔫ"We don't hate it... although we wish we knew of him before" Dark Choco cookie pouted.

ꔫ"Yeah yeah! If you two had stayed this long with each other and he makes you happy Papa, we'll accept it" White Choco cookie exclaimed hugging your leg.

ꔫ"OoooooOOoOoOOoo!!" little Sobert Shark was also really happy.

ꔫ"I'm really hurt (Y/n), you were married and you never told them of their dad?" Wind Archer had a playful pout on his face.

ꔫIt was... nice having such a family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm really sorry if this ending isn't what you wanted but bear with me because I really had no intentions of making this but then I remember this request and well what better way to make a come back for fun.

[ah-yes-paris]

beatles harmonies that cured my depression.

It is important that i discuss this. Well, not really important I just really wanted to share. This is in no particular order either it's just the ones that come to the top of my head lol. Feel free to reblog and share your own 😎

1. The "Woahoooah AHHHHH" from When I Get Home.

Not even words can describe the battery power that starts coursing through my veins when I hear this harmony. I cant even,....LIKE HELLO??? i have never heard such a blessing... Such a well-fitting triplet of voices singing a vowel thats made me feel like i can run 10 miles straight. They aren't real. The Beatles, of course. To this day I don't understand how this harmony exists in this universe. My ears melt everytime. One of my favorites, in case you couldn't tell.

2. The obvious.. "yeah yeah yeah YEAHH" from She Loves You :)

LET ME TELL YOU. oh my god let me tell yo u .. Way back when, when I was a new fan... Good lord. I was literally ascending. ASCENDING. i felt every inch of my body start to lift off the ground. Im sure im not the only one who's experienced this. I remember thinking 'how the wiggle wubble do 3 men sound so GOOD TOGETHER' IT DOES NOT ADD UP PEOPLE THE BEATLES HAVE TO BE SOME SORT OF ROBOTIC BOY BAND GROWN IN A LAB THIS ISNT POSSIBLE how do we live on the same dimensional plane that this harmony lives on..

3. "The magical mystery tour, is coming to take you away, Coming to take you away!" from Magical Mystery Tour.

...

guys. Guys you dont understand. This one line, adds, YEARS. LITERAL YEARS TO MY LIFE SPAN. At this point I am fully immortal. The "coming to take you awayyy" makes my heart POUND. i love this song so much... And this line especially... It makes me go insane. Basically the beatles are manic melody genuises that have successfully spread one of the biggest diseases in musical history. Personally, I think this line was a clear example of why.

4. "Last night I said these words to my girl", "Please pleaase me, oh yeah, like i please you...", "...With you! Oh yeah, why do you make me blue" from Please Please Me.

do i even have to say anything. Well, i dont but i will for the sake of the post. There is so much. So much. About this song that I. I cant even,,. I would choose this song over SO MANY BEATLES SONGS DUDE. not that its cause i think its better than all the others but it just holds such a special place in my heart. Its the only song thats Ever made me feel some intense wave of nostalgia for a decade i wasnt even born in. Its one of the songs that continue to make me question the beatles existance. How could something like this ever come to reality. My brain has never been so pleased in its life.

5. "Carve your number on my wall and maybe you will get a call from me" from If I Needed Someone.

The way that this song was added into my Liked playlist SO QUICKLY...... God. I love george. Hes my favorite after all. Rubber Soul as a whole makes me feel warm inside but this song and this one line just hits so much more intensely for some reason... Their voices just flow insanely well and I just DONT UNDERSTAND HOW. its like an angel choir making its way through the clouds as you see the gate to heaven start to appear. Wonderful song and mind-blowing harmony... The beat is so good too and i just explode.

6. The "ahhhhh Ahhhhh AHhhhh *inhale* AHHHhhhh AHHHHH *inhale* AHHHHHH" from Day Tripper.

HOLY JESUS CHIRST THIS SONG HAS SO MUCH TO UNPACK... There are undeniably A BUNCH of other flawless harmonies in this song but my god the beatles knew what they were doing. Thats all I'm going to say really.... But once again. Power. In my veins. A few listens to this song and you'll find yourself having the strength of 1,000 men.

7. "Oh, now", "All I want is you" from Dig a Pony.

FIRST LYRIC... ITS LITERALLY 2 WORDS AND YET IT CONTINUES TO BLOW MY MIND. Something about the "Oh" ...... Its like an arrow passing through my heart I dont even know guys. Im not lying when I say it makes me feel like im floating. It makes me feel like i can quite literally grow wings and fling myself towards the sun. Dont even get me started on "All I want is you".......it literally triples the effect. It makes me go ballistic. The song is just mindless lyrics but the harmonieeesss.....

8. "Ah girlll.... *inhaeahelrlsseeesh* Girrll...." from Girl.

no words. Like. No words. I cant even. I seriously dont need to explain this one. Im just going to drop the isolated vocals version because if you havent listened to it you are MISSING OUT... you thought the originally recorded song was the greatest cause of your heart palpitations? Well you thought WRONG.

THIS IS.

9. "I love youwoowooowoowoooo...", "ask me WHYY..", "I can't believe.. Its happened to MEeee", "i cant concieve *doo doo doo do doo* of anymore *dun dun dun* MISERY" from Ask Me Why.

GOD OK LISTEN im just gonna say this now i absolutely adore and favor the please please me album so much i dont care what anyone says ok im such a sucker for their early sappy love songs ITS SO MANY GOOD HARMONIES ESPECIALLY FROM THIS ONE. MY GOD i listen to this and i feel like im with a lover late at night and we're like at one or the others house keeping each other warm and being all romantic and happy. Specifically the part that goes "ask me whyy I say i love you.. (OOOOHHHOOOO) and im always thinking of youuhoohohoo..." LIKE COME ON PLEAEE IT MAKES ME FEEL SO WARM INSIDE AND I SMILE IN AN INSTANT GOD I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH. Whenever i think im sad i go "no im not because Please Please Me." And its like all the sudden everything im sad about just poof disappears!

10. "If theres anything that you want.. IF THERES ANYTHING I CAN DOOOO" from From Me To You.

I am so in love with this song you guys i have no idea I LOVE IT SO MUCH. IT HAS THIS LITTLE SWING TO IT SPECIFICALLY BETWEEN THESE 2 LINES THAT MY BRAIN SEEKS FOR NEARLY EVERY DAY. the amount of blessing i get from this song is more than i can comprehend its literally insane i cant even. How does someone do this how did the beatles make music guys I am seriously so dumbfounded like they just sat there and wrote banger after banger like WHAT. this song makes me believe that life isnt as horrible as it seems and if im lucky enough i can just sing and dance to this song for all of eternity. There are also so many other good harmonies in this one as well...

---

In conclusion the beatles have had a chokehold on me for 3 years but I mean their stupid groundbreaking songs keep drawing me back in so.... This has also made me come to the conclusion that the Beatles simply arent real because I still dont believe a band can not only write consistent hits, but also harmonize in a way that causes me to spin around while doing backflips.

Thank you for your time.

[bookofmirth]

i saw the post asking why feyre gets a lot of hate and she gets a lot of hate because she is quite annoying. and she is a raging mary sue. i actually really enjoyed her character in ACOTAR but once she got with rhysand she went quite downhill for me. i hate the way she treats lucien as if tamlin didn’t hurt him too. as if lucien wasn’t the only one that actually helped her UTM without doing anything degrading to her and literally got punished for helping her.

i don’t understand why people hate on the archeron sisters because of their relationships with each other. i understand hating on them individually and because of their personality but hating feyre bec nesta doesn’t like her or nesta bec elain doesn’t like her just is dumb. sisters can be very cruel to each other so i don’t really hate either of the sisters because i have sisters and understand that relationships with them aren’t always easy and they mostly consist of fighting and name calling but at the end of the day you would risk your life for them and have their back.

i think a lot of feyre hate is more a problem with SJM though and how much she loves rhysand. because feyre doesn’t have anything that is her own. even UTM men help her win the trials, men bring her back to life, men give her the powers she has. her title is given to her by rhys. her money, her friends and basically everything she owns is given to her by rhys. in ACOSF she lets him walk all over her. and just accepts that he made all her “friends” lie to her. at any moment rhys can take everything away from her, i know he won’t but he still CAN. she cries about the damage the war did and how it displaced people but she builds herself another mansion and tears down a perfectly fine building that other people live in. and she doesn’t really get held accountable for her mistakes, esp that whole spring court thing. she has a moment of regretting it but somehow the high lords all forgive her and rhys tells her that she didn’t make a mistake. it’s annoying.

hopefully in the next book SJM won’t have her let rhys walk all over her again.

Feyre being annoying is an opinion, and many people don't agree with that. I don't think she's annoying. If I did, I wouldn't have gotten past acotar. If you think that she is annoying, that's fine! We all have our own favorites and characters we don't like.

I really, really hate the term Mary Sue, and I don't think that it even applies to Feyre if we were to accept it as an okay thing to say. Feyre fucks up all the time, she runs into a tree trying to learn to fly, she gets hunted and injured, the only reason she made it through one of the trials in acotar is because Rhys helped her cheat. She's not overpowered at all. She trains for quite a while with Cassian and Azriel in acowar before she has to fight. Maybe the thing in Velaris was a bit 👀 but honestly? I still wouldn't call her a Mary Sue because I personally hate that phrase. 🙃

I think your paragraph about Rhys actually explains what I was alluding to better than I did. I think that people are angry at Rhys, and that is rubbing off on Feyre. I'm pretty sure that it's not Feyre who decides to tear down that one building and then build more houses, Rhys keeps doing that. Feyre is very aware, through the entire series, of class difference and tries to do what she can to combat it (I gave examples in the last post). The fact that Rhys was hiding information from Feyre is not somehow Feyre's fault. I do wish that we had seen more of the fallout from that revelation, because we could assume that she just let him get away with it, but we were following Nesta and Cassian on their hike, and so Feyre could have ripped Rhys a new asshole and we would never know. It just feels really weird to me to be mad at someone for letting someone else walk all over them (even though I don't totally agree that's what happened). The person doing the walking should be to blame.

So maybe that is an sjm problem, in the sense that now we don't have Feyre's POV, and she seems unable to explain what happens to characters when they are not on the literal page, unless it's explicitly explained to us. Like how Mor just disappears, and Lucien, and Elain. They weren't useful to the later quarter of the book, so POOF! They cease to exist.

An example of an author who can do this well is Brandon Sanderson, because the Stormlight Archive books are 1k pages and there are dozens of characters, but we never feel like any of them are being neglected. We know what they are up to, even if we aren't following their POV.

However, I do still think it's on the fandom if we aren't able to separate our distaste for what Rhys is doing, from our feelings about Feyre. They are mates, not one person in two bodies.

I agree with Feyre and the Spring Court, which I reblogged cuz I forgot. Her behavior in Spring was NOT okay, even if I understand that she was angry. And her "friendship" with Lucien is on thin fucking ice with me. Asking him to go back to Spring, even though they know that Tamlin is being physically abusive? NASTY.

Those parts of her arc isn't enough to make me ignore all the good she has done, though. And I don't mind if people dislike her or whatever, because those feelings are all dependent on who we are as people. It does bug me when people dislike or like a character (or ship) based on things that aren't canon. That's when I get annoyed, so that's why I brought up the examples that I did!

The Price of Freedom (one-shot)

Fandom: Steven Universe

Rating: T (TW: unwilling restraint)

Words: ~800

Summary: Even while sightless, even when she only exists as thin fingers of light rapidly spreading outwards from her gem, Rose can sense that something is deeply, dreadfully wrong.

The Price of Freedom

She’s finally done it. Pink Diamond is gone forever, metaphorically shattered into fragments, those fragments scattered to the far corners of the Earth like seeds traveling on wind. And now, with the alibi Pearl helped her forge solidly in place, no one on Homeworld would ever suspect any different. After hundreds of years of quiet rebellion, the shackles that tied her to that awful place are loose.

Rose Quartz is free.

But even freedom boasts a price.

In her case, that price is the excruciatingly long period of formless nothing that envelops her whole soul like a skintight glove. Who knew that poofing could be so... so boring? A wave of melancholy crashes over her as instinctively, her under-stimulated mind veers towards thoughts of her friends, of her fellow soldiers, of Pearl. Oh, her dear Pearl... so brave and beautiful, so endlessly beloved and trusted she is, to hide her gem away from prying eyes while she’s saving up energy to reform. How she longs to hold her in her arms again, whole and finally alive, to gently caress her cheek as they lay giggling in a patch of flowers at the edge of one of their revel encampments, mutually bewitched by the blossoming of their miraculous new beginning.

All she knows for sure at this point is that when she eventually reforms, every scrap of discarded strategy, their stress, their worry... it’ll have all been worth it. Her essence relaxes, and she settles in for the rest of the wait.

At first, the inky black nothingness lasts for what seems like a mere rotation of this planet. And then that single rotation turns into a season. And a season turns into an Earth year. An Earth year turns into a whole Homeworld solar cycle.

Eventually— right when her patience is about to wear thin— she feels something shift within her, like an iron key jostling stubborn tumblers into place. It’s time. Warmth exploding from her core like a star about to shed its outer gases, she wills herself to emerge. But even while sightless, even when she only exists as thin fingers of light rapidly spreading outwards from her gem, Rose can sense that something is deeply, dreadfully wrong.

Hard light refuses to shift in the right directions. It pushes and retracts and sighs, but never fully resolves like it did whenever she used to shapeshift into her chosen form. Instead, whenever she envisions that full head of wild curls, that delicately layered gown, bare toes for wiggling in the sand, every part of her faux quartz body perfectly plump and strong... the light wobbles, and then presses inward again. Dread pools at her core as she desperately tries to regenerate again. And again. And again, with no luck. Stars, what on Earth could be wrong? She’s taken up this form hundreds of times, so why should permanently adopting it be any different? Refusal of birthright or not, she’s a diamond, for shards’ sake, she should be able to do this!

And then, the cruel force that’s barring her from forming the way she pleases begins to tug at her core, teasing her out whether she’s ready to emerge or not. Lengthening channels of light pulse ever faster as she panics.

Ultimately, she can’t help but give in to the pressure.

When she opens her eyes, she’s blinded by pure terror so egregious and immobilizing she almost poofs all over again. She’s hanging in midair, suspended by two gigantic, talon-tipped hands. Taking a deep breath, she dares to glance down... and what she sees is nightmarish enough to fuel her darkest dreams for the next millennia. The walls and floor are coated in pure static. Her body feels nigh unrecognizable to her at this point, all thin and pink, lanky limbs swathed in frilly, clownish clothes. An impenetrable barrier smothers her like a membrane, transparent but milky white in tone. She thrashes and screams from within, the deep well of power she’s kept hidden for so long threatening to tear at the very threads of light that are holding this husk of an unwanted form together in the first place.

White Diamond‘s ebony lips part in a thin smile, grim, yet satisfied with the outcome of her work as she tightens her hold on the smaller Gem with naught but a click of her fingers.

“Thought you could make a fool of me and fake your shattering, did you?” she croons, yanking her immobilized form right up to her face. Upon making eye contact, any last shreds of heartbroken, frustrated anger Rose held deep within her soul crumbles to dust. Those ‘perfect, flawless’ features of hers screw up as she lets out a mewling, hopeless sob.

“You thought wrong, Starlight.”

not really a rq but do u think xiao has any scars? is he like a seasoned fighter with lots of scars or is he so godly he never got them? it’s...... for science🧐

TLDR: He either has none due to his adepti status/powers or he has one major scar somewhere on him. I’d imagine he’s a extremely good fighter so he doesn’t get hurt often but he’s not invincible. If he can die in game he can die in real life [is what I’m going to be saying if he scams me and my primogems] 

---

Oh hi :D I recognize your username. Tyty I’m glad you’re enjoying the Xiao content aha. Your reblogs give me life 💕 For science you say 👀 Lemme just break open the 20-page research paper I have. 

Apart of me wants to believe in adepti magic and he can just poof away scars but I also feel like he’ll pull a Siegfried and have one major scar on his chest perhaps. I think it’d be pretty interesting to think that the green mark/tattoo on his right arm is/was a scar but it’s probably related to his anemo element. 

Since he hasn’t been released yet and there aren’t any character stories for him I can only speculate but the game says that:

“The Yakshas were 5 Adepti that were summoned by the Geo Archon, Rex Lapis, to fight the demons that were spawned from the remains of defeated gods after the Archon War.”

So either he was brought into existence or he was human and made into an adepti/Yaksha. I think he was brought into existence since I doubt humans would be around during an Archon War but who knows. It might explain why he looks human while the rest are animals but we’ll just have to wait and see. The Yaksha in general could be human-like while the adepti side is more related to animals. He does mention something along the lines of “For personal reasons, I don’t want to be tainted by the mortal realm” or something like that which makes me think he’s either talking from a physical or/and emotional experience [I'm heavily leaning on emotional experience which caused physical pain [hence a scar] because that’s just how these games go]. Or he just doesn’t want to associate with people, what a mood. 

They did mention that Xiao fought demons that could swallow Liyue and 5 Yaksha’s were summon (I believe only two are still “alive” in the game). Whether those adepti died from the war or other causes I’m not sure but I’m going to assume at least one of them died during the war, so I think Xiao would have probably gotten hurt somewhere or another.

I think it’d be kinda interesting writing Xiao as a human turned Yaksha, having to adapt from his normal life to fighting against demons everyday, possibly getting hurt and protecting whatever remaining humans are still left. Or the opposite, where he was a Yaksha turned human. But just a thought.

Me: *reblogs and makes my own Julie/Jukebox posts screaming about loving Julie, clearly my POV*

Also me: *tries to understand what the events of the show must look and feel like to Carrie, clearly CARRIE’S POV and NOT MINE*

Some people: SO YOU THINK CARRIE LOOKS LIKE A VICTIM

Me: What? NO, I think CARRIE FEELS LIKE A VICTIM.

....ALSO, Caleb Covington may be a Fabulous Homosexual™, BUT he is ALSO a grown ass adult who, if he had a modicum of a conscience and self control, HE LITERALLY COULD HAVE just refused the offer from “the wise man”, BUT NO. THE SPINELESS LITTLE THING JUST TOOK IT AND WENT FULL IRREDEEMABLE VILLAIN, STEALING SOULS LEFT AND RIGHT AND POOFING GHOSTS WHO NEVER WANTED TO CROSS OVER OR BE DESTROYED RIGHT OUT OF EXISTENCE AND MANIPULATING EVERYONE AROUND HIM.

THE OTHER SIDE OF HOLLYWOOD AND YOU GOT NOTHING TO LOSE MAY BE BOPS, BUT IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, THE LITERAL ENTIRE POINT OF BOTH OF THOSE SONGS WAS LITERALLY TO MANIPULATE THE BOYS AND CONVINCE THEM TO STAY IN THE CLUB AND PERFORM CALEB’S MUSIC FOR CALEB FOR ETERNITY. NOT PERFORM THEIR MUSIC WITH HIM FOR FUN. CALEB’S MUSIC FOR HIM. BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO POWERFUL AND HE NEEDED THEM WORKING FOR HIM. THEN CALEB POSSESSED NICK FOR REVENGE WHEN THEY STILL LEFT HIM BECAUSE THEY KNEW HE WAS NO GOOD. CALEB HAD MALICIOUS INTENT WITH EVERYTHING HE DID TO EVERYONE.

CARRIE WAS JUST TRYING NOT TO LOSE HER MIND AFTER LOSING HER FRIENDS AND THEN HER FANS (IN HER MIND) AND THEN HER BOYFRIEND.
