7 Minutes to Daybreak, or a story of the past told through a pocket watch. Flash fiction below the cut because the formatting made it long (it’s all item descriptions!)
-> [Check]
A pocket watch, brand new and sparkling in the darkness. You bought it with your first proper paycheck down here - the first decent wage you’ve ever had, really. Each tick sounds like an opportunity.
-> [Check]
Oh god, is that the time? Nights of recruiting for the Commodore’s little project have absolutely destroyed your sleep schedule, it seems.
-> [Check]
Your pocket watch. The casing has gotten a little pockmarked by the sea spray - or Zee spray, as that’s apparently sticking around. It’s a small luxury, one of the few you have on this desolate rock. At least it’s almost over.
-> [Check]
The way the dawnlight catches off your watch's face is rather hypnotic. You’ve had to stow the old girl in your breast pocket, for now. It’s so easy to slip into the light these days. But there’s work to be done.
-> [Check]
Small carved notches circle the face of your pocket watch, dividing it into 7 minute intervals. Your partner’s gotten into the habit of claiming he can get what’s needed out of a poor soul in 7 minutes or less - so the notches have proven quite useful, recently.
-> [Check]
Your pocket watch, recently shined to a sparkling finish. It sits warmly in the pocket of your new coat - a symbol of a rank you never could’ve dreamed of on the surface. Not a spot of blood remains on the thing, anymore.
-> [Check]
You can still remember the day you bought this watch, uncertain of the amount of money you held in your hands. Would the man who bought it recognize you?
-> [Check]
The tarnished metal of your pocket watch now bears what are most definitely bite marks in the metal. Perhaps you shouldn’t have let your son play with the d__n thing after all.
-> [Check]
You have a meeting tonight. You shouldn’t be late.
-> [Check]
Your pocket watch, once again stained by the zeesalt. The lights of Varchas are a long way off, yet. You count the seconds.
-> [Inspect]
The Gregarious Commander’s pocket watch. It’s easier to identify than his body is, despite the damage to its casing. It’s done.
-> [Examine]
Your father’s pocket watch. They gave it to you at his funeral, and among the hymns and weeping, the soft sound of its mechanism gave you some comfort.
-> [Examine]
It’s very, very late. Even through this haze, the watch will tell you that. Would your father have disapproved? Laughed at you? Laughed with you? You don’t know.
-> [Examine]
There’s so many scratches on the watch’s casing. The Theatrical Technician offered to help you set the mechanism in some finer metal, once, but you never accepted.
-> [Examine]
26 hours, 45 minutes, and a handful of seconds have passed since they abandoned you. You’re not sure when you’ll stop counting. Maybe you never will.
-> [Examine]
Your father’s old pocket watch. You’ve taken to wearing it more openly as part of your disguise here in London. It’s not particularly in fashion, but the weight in your pocket keeps you steady.
-> [Examine]
You’ve run out of time, haven’t you?
-> [Examine]
The entire trip back home, you were hoping there’d be a sign. One last clue. Something you could use, a reason to beg to stay. There was nothing. You watch the minutes tick away.
-> [Examine]
The pocket watch lays scattered atop a half dozen blueprints and schematics, plans to birth the dawn into a true sun. You have nothing else, anymore.
-> [Examine]
Your father’s pocket watch. The light - light from the sun you built - that dances across its metal tastes like freedom.
-> [Examine]
A new mechanism sits inside your old pocket watch. A necessary evil, considering the time difference between here, New Winchester, and London proper.
-> [Examine]
It’s lonely, up here. Every hour feels an eternity.
-> [Examine]
Your eyes glance across your pocket watch as the crystalline agony courses through you. How long do you have left?
-> [Examine]
Something’s changed.
-> [Examine]
The old, tarnished metal of your pocket watch burns hot in your hand. Hearts beat to its tempo. Eyes blink to its tick. You can never let it go. You can never fall out of time. Never.
-> [Search]
You scan the debris of the once dreaded locomotive for anything of interest that might float by. A metal banded glass hand clasps a small, brass pocket watch in a death grip, despite it being completely severed from its owner’s body. The watch itself is nothing to write home about - despite a complex mechanism, the style is hopelessly out of date. Not to mention the fact that it’s horribly banged up. If it wasn’t for the fading correspondence scrawled into its case, it would be completely unremarkable. Yet, the symbol exudes an undeniable power, despite the mechanism going silent within. There is not a doubt in your heart - this belonged to the Scintillating Harbinger, the glass wracked menace of the skies you just struck down.
[Take it? - Y/N]

the purpose of friends is to have people who unconditionally hate your shitty exes & relatives. like maybe YOU have a complex relationship with your father but i sure don't. i'm outside his house with a gun. he's not the unforgivable asshole who raised me he's just an unforgivable asshole
#i was not introduced to my roommates' parents at graduation 🙂↕️#i am not invited to gatherings with my bf's stepmother 😌

I think this is just a trend everywhere but I've been very frustrated this week by how much admin work is being outsourced to me as the patient/customer.
My orthodontist tells me I can make an appointment with the surgeon. I call the surgeon. They tell me I need a new referral. I call the orthodontist. They do a referral. I call the surgeon. Referral didn't come through. They tell me about their special unique system we have to use. I call the ortho again and walk them through the referral. I call the surgeon. They say the referral was missing some details so they have to do it again. I call the ortho.
The insurance company calls me about repair shops. I give them the name of the repair shop which I already gave them yesterday. They say they're not in their system but I can use them, but I have to call the repair shop to ask them to contact the insurance company. I call the repair shop and they say the insurance company is supposed to email them.
I feel like at a certain point these constant fetch quests become unreasonable?? Is it too much to expect these groups to communicate with each other instead of making me run back and forth between them???
#if the referral is inadequate why don't you tell the referring doctor directly?#instead of waiting several days for me to call you and THEN saying it's wrong#and making me take care of it#don't get me started on the professionally threatening email I had to send the regional director#for her to FINALLY send us an email introducing our new manager who was supposed to start 4 days ago

as long as ur my partner in time >_>
#my art#arcane#jayvik#jayce talis#viktor#viktor arcane#jayce is so hozier coded it makes me genuinely nauseous#being a hozier fan & then being introduced to jv was like being shot 500 times in the chest and 80 in the head#theyre taking ovr my body & im just letting it happen#anyways. tried a different spin on post canon jv#kept viks body & gave him longer hair. he is so beautiful#but let it be known they still abide by thr They Respawn in a Field of Flowers Next to a Random Village flavor of post canon#i gave him his beauty mark back too which is equally as important to mention as everything else

#gravity falls#stan pines#stanford pines#stanley pines#grunkle stan#grunkle ford#ford pines#Some notes: I don't think Stanford swears before getting thrown into the portal.#And then in the multiverse he was introduced to a multitude of different curse words and started cursing left and right LOL#When he came back#due to proximity with family he stopped cursing for the most part#but then one time on the Stan o War when he was really really stressed ... This happened HEODNAK#Ford stubbing his toe near the kids (now teens): FFFFFFUUUUiiiddleford Mcgucket . My pal from college.#Haha yes that was what I was going to say definitelyDipper: it's okay Grunkle Ford we know the fuck word#Mabel: (dramatic gasp) dipper you can't say that!!!!!!!!!

Hey so, has anyone else like , , , thought about this??

Because I have,
And it's making me incredibly anxious
#I just don't think it's any of the characters that we already know are in the cast#like why would they reveal Etho#a character we haven't officially met yet and people had been hoping would make an appearance#and have the surprise character be someone like#Bdubs lol#I seriously believe it's either:#a well-known mcyt that has actually never been mentioned in the AU before#or most likely an OC that we're about to get introduced to#like a relative or somebody else entirely#like what or whoever the fuck THAT fella is#that is stalking my baby boy#maybe is too soon for that arc#but that teaser image has been haunting me ever since I first saw it#so I had to put this out there#JUST IN CASE I might be right#ddvau#double hearted#mcyt#jimmy solidarity#ddvau theory#star post#anyways I'm so hyped

#arthur learning how to use computer#do you see how thick is this laptop? it's because merlin is (very) old fashioned#he probably doesn't even have a phone#arthur in pajamas because why change clothes if your wizard doesn't let you go out#i think once arthur learns all neccessary things he will be better in modern world than merlin and introduce him to new stuff or something#domestic kind of stuff#i also had an idea for merlin installer but that's for another time#bbc merlin#merlin bbc#merlin#arthur pendragon#merlin emrys#merthur#my art
