No. 7 - The way you shake and shiver

Shaking hands | Seizures | Silent panic attack

1k words | OC: Ghost Ambulance, Apocalypse, Run storyline following directly from here

ok of this one i am Certain it doesn't make that much sense. but we're killing our perfectionism here baybeeee

---

CN: lady whump, emotional whump, angst, panic attack, hyperventilation, past death of family members, past grief, mentioned gunshot, apocalyptic setting

---

The two lights are alternating in glowing slow motion. As one fades in, the world gains a magenta tint that paints spirals in the swirling smoke. The other one replaces it when it fades out and at that, everything goes blue. Then the red blurs in again. Then it blurs out.

There is sound, too, but Elaine can't hear it. The buzz of commotion is muted, as if coming to her from under a thick blanket, as if she's five years old again and hiding her head under a pillow to stop the world from bringing her any more news. Her hands are numb, as if she's bitten her nails until they bled. But she hasn't done it in so long, so she must be fifteen again and the ambulance's open back door must be a ravenous maw, ready to swallow another person she cares about, devour them, and only spit back the news that they have died and left her alone again.

She can't breathe.

She stands motionless among the ruins and the cracks on the asphalt blur together in her eyes. Her lungs have no space to expand. There's an grip around her ribcage and it hurts, a piercing pain as if she's the one who just got shot. Everything rushes around her, like she's the one being wheeled away on a stretcher. Everything is swaying and they're pushing that stretcher into the devouring dark and Cutter is going to die, she knows it, because nobody who disappears in an ambulance ever comes back to her alive; and the air is so hot she can't stand to take another breath, she's frozen still and she can't breathe. Her face is wet and so are her hands and oh, Gods, she killed someone; she attacked without thinking because there was a gunshot and she had to protect them and Joy could have died too but that's no excuse; and there are hands on her shoulders but it must be fake because everyone who loves her is dead; and the voice barely makes it through the pounding of her heart but it's so sharp and high and like a melody, and it repeats something, rhythmical like the swaying all around her:

"Breathe," it says. "Elaine, you're okay. Just breathe."

The shivering blur of her vision gathers, a single stain of colour forms a face in tear-glazed soft focus. Joy is there, right in front of her. She's alive, she's holding her shoulders, but there's soot and blood all over her clothes and she's crying too, and she could be hurt, and-

"Breathe," Joy repeats. "Sit down. You're okay."

Gentle pressure is enough to buckle Elaine's knees and Joy sits down with her. "Come on," she says. "I'll count for you. Breathe in now."

She raises her hand and counts slowly: one, two, three, four, five. Elaine can't focus on anything but the blood staining the fingers that she raises with each number. Pain constricts her chest again and she opens her mouth to speak but her voice dissipates like smoke.

"Breathe in," Joy says. "One, two…"

Elaine forces herself to look her in the eyes. How are they so calm even through the tears, how is she counting so steadily, how can someone go for so long without breathing and how does she even begin to get her lungs to obey her again? Where does she start? There's number one again, maybe this is the place. But the moment's passed, now it's three, four, five. But then it's one again and she gasps, like a drowned woman discovering air all anew.

Once she starts inhaling, she can't stop. Her chest hurts so she keeps gasping and the world wobbles again - but Joy's voice is still there. Counting. Repeating.

"You're okay. Just breathe. You're okay."

Over and over. Until Elaine believes her. Until she remembers that she has to breathe out, too, and waits for another number one to let out air on a long, shuddering hiss.

"That's good." Joy's voice is gentle, even. "Now in."

She leads Elaine through it breath by breath: five seconds in, five seconds out. Then, slowly, the world begins to gain detail again and as Elaine's heartbeat slows, she realizes her hands are shaking. She feels it rather than sees and she's not brave enough to look down and find them covered in blood. Instead, she takes in Joy's face, allowing her presence to become fact. She's here and she's okay. She's got one of Elaine's hands in hers and their fingers stick together but the warmth of her skin is enough to keep Elaine anchored to the cracked asphalt and the biting smoke. The flowing tears do nothing to ease the burning in her eyes.

She wants to explain, but she can't force her words out. Her body feels impossibly heavy now and she sways with a sudden rush of departing adrenaline. Joy catches her by the shoulders again.

Elaine marvels at the embers of determination in her dark eyes. How can she be so calm even with tears still running down her face? She wipes at them almost with annoyance, leaving a smudge of dirt and makeup across her cheek. She sighs.

"Let's go to the hospital, yeah?" she says, voice rough with smoke and exhaustion.

Elaine wants to protest. She wants to tell her, wants the memories to spill out and turn her back into a five-year-old who was too young to understand that people died in hospitals. She wants to be fifteen and feel the loss afresh, she wants to be numb with it so it can't hurt her again. She wants her parents back. She wants to talk to her sister. She wants to never speak to anyone again. She wants to roll everything back and not care whether Cutter lives or dies. She wants him to be okay. She wants Joy to stay with her. She wants to be alone. She wants to sleep.

She shakes her head. It could mean anything and she lets it.

But she follows when Joy stands up and together they watch the ambulance slowly drive away into the chaos and fog.

"Let's go," Joy says quietly. "It's gonna be okay."

And because it's her, Elaine finds it within herself to believe her.

Hi! I don't know if you've already said, but I was curious what specific vibe of punk/rock/metal Velvet Crowbar is. Are there any real life bands you would compare their sound to?

I was thinking about that post forever ago that was joking about the "Isi used to be in an alt band" truther and the kind of connections they might try to make between the bands older stuff and Isi's current discography lol

(it's "having autistic thoughts about this webcomic" hour and I hope you know how talented you are)

I think post-hardcore/punk/emo blend… genres are confusing tbh everyone’s always like “this isn’t REAL emo” etc etc. I usually call it a punk band for simplicity. I made a playlist with some sound inspiration

there are definitely theorists in-universe but I think most people would think it’s too ridiculous to be true LOL. Isi did mostly bass but some backup vocals so I’m sure the small overlap of VC and Isi fans who are intense enough about either would be like “hmm” Thank u btw I really love working on it :’D 💕

[sunthyme]

Sorry for this being a day late, I last second decided I hated how the og designs turned out so I redid them lmaooo. Whoops! Tyty sm for the support though, I love y'all! 🩷🩷🩷

💐Ignihyde💐

I cleared the tail end of Book 4 and all of Book 5 two days ago so fair warning, I'm still not completely aware of all the ins and outs of Ortho and Idia. And I might have to redo some of my Pomefiore headcanons with Book 5 in mind, namely Rook??? Whose apparently from Sunset Savanna??? Anyways, onto the designs...

🎮Idia Shroud🎮

(he/it) Unlabelled Gender - Achillic Asexual

Ah, the most relatable character in Twisted Wonderland...

- I don't think I really changed a whole lot about him physically, tbh. Gave him slightly bluer skin and dark makeup. I figured he's kinda one of the closest characters to like alt fashion and stuff so I slapped some piercings on him.

- You can't see them with his GIANT MESS OF HAIR but I gave him some piercings. I'll just grab a pic of them rq.

No bald Idia today guys.

- He's autistic. Is that even up for debate at this point? Either way, I feel like he'd actually hate having hair against his neck and typically put it into a ponytail or something. That shit would be hella warm otherwise, fire or no.

- He plays dating sims religiously but god forbid someone ACTUALLY flirts with him. In the unlikely scenario that he actually realises they're hitting on it, he just freaks out and runs, physically if possible. I think he's unintentionally shut people down hard because he cannot fathom why anyone would like it.

- He has to fight his demons whenever he see any of the people with cat ears which me too me too. Ignihyde actually has a bit of a stray cats issue, namely because Idia sets out food and water for them and refuses to let anyone take them away. They never get into the workshops or anywhere dangerous and Idia has named all of them.

- He has unique names not only for the stray cats of Ignihyde but also for all of the ones in his games, in specific his Minecraft cats.

- It's actually in the process of making a robotic cat as a sort of emotional support animal since a live cat isn't allowed in classes due to allergies (which Grim is exempt from due to him not technically being a cat and not producing allergens, fun fact).

- Oh! And I headcanon him as Greek and Japanese. Forgot that oops. Nationality-wise he'd be Australian though.

I was struggling to think of things that were just canon facts of his character already, which, to be fair, some of this could be but moving onto...

🦾Ortho Shroud🦾

(they/it/he) Nonbinary???

I actually adore how they came out omg. I have no really experience with robot/cyborg character design so I gave myself some liberties.

- First and for most, I made a lot of its robot features more obvious with panelling that would make it easy for Idia to access any brain or vocal mechanics. You cannot convince me that Idia, known for liking video games and anime, would pass up an opportunity to make Ortho look cool asf. Or maybe Book 6 can but for now, panels.

- I don't know if it's ever brought up in detail Ortho's like material components and stuff but I think they're made with the anti-magic stuff Charon's ferrymen have, further enhanced and durable. His freckles help with sensing particularly smell and temperature.

- His eyes took a bit of inspiration from Genoa, I just though a black sclera would look super cool tbh.

- It's hair is a bit crazier and I wanted to lowkey emulate Medusa vibes with it and the soulless eyes lol.

Not much else right now but I know damn well Book 6 will make me cry... Time for the ocs!

🪻Fuji Izanami🪻

Third Year - (she/he) Bigender - Bisexual

- So, a bit of a disclaimer, I've never actually seen Hercules because I was a Greek mythology nerd and was offended by the inaccuracies lol so keep that in mind with the ocs for this dorm. Fuji is my Cerberus character!

- He's the vice-housewarden of Ignihyde and tends to help out with Ortho's upgrades by moving the heavier parts that Idia can't lift.

- Since I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, Cerberus means 'spots', I wanted her to have a ton of freckles as an omage.

- She's fully Japanese and has been a childhood friend of the Shrouds, with both families going way back. He was kind of Idia's emotional support before Ortho was allowed as well as a bit of a bodyguard. She and Ortho were the reason Idia didn't have to attend with a mass guard force.

- Quiet and seems quite menacing at first but is a huge softie and loves to be around other people. She and Jack are workout buddies and bond over common music tastes in the J-Pop and K-Pop genres.

- When she's talking to Idia or Ortho, it tends to be in Japanese (neglecting that the game is set to Japanese, imagine the default is like a common tongue or something lol).

- He specialises in heavier mech tech, developing protective wear and other durable things to work with. She hopes to intern with Charon eventually and work to study the containment of blot.

Now for another set of triplets, these ones all in Ignihyde...

🕰️Ye-Jin Ryu🕰️

Second Year - (she/her) - Sapphic

So these next three characters are representative of the Fates, they're Korean.

- Ye-Jin is my 'past' character. I styled her hair is an older-fashioned wavy cut and gave her some classy pearl earrings to give that 🌸vintage aesthetic🌸.

- Her primary skill set and interest is in re-purposing older things and upgrading them i.e. keeping the older aesthetic but making the mechanisms modern and remove the fear that it'll break down from overuse and whatnot.

- As such, she's a sucker for antiques and older fashion trends, mostly consisting of long skirts and formal wear. That being said, she still wears properly protective gear w an working on one of her projects.

- A hobby of hers is photography and she loves both actually taking photos as well as experimenting with different kinds of old cameras. She's a part of a photography club and also has a photo wall in her room.

- Never one to slack, she enjoys journalling and writing letters in her pass time as well. A hopeless romantic, she and Chanda share a class and Ye-Jin writes little posty notes for her.

Now for the present..

🛰️Ji-Ho Ryu🛰️

Second Year - (she/they) - Heteroromantic Bisexual

- Ji-Ho is the present and reflects a more modern Korean makeup style and haircut. I think she'd have reading glasses but only wear them when necessary.

- She has an interest in modern technology and pushing its limits. Adding more storage to a computer than typically offered, making a car even more gas efficient, that kind of stuff.

- They like a combination of things but are actually a part of the Spelldrive Club. She wanted to try something new and expand their bases. It gave her some insight for a recent interest in prosthetics she's developed.

For the final Fate,

👾Dae Ryu👾

Second Year - (she/they/it) Agender - Pansexual

- Dae is the future! I gave her more sci-fi-y makeup and a bit more flare in its hairstyle. Some piercings and ta dah!

- They specialise in bio-tech. Looking at nature to modify scientific approaches and being more environmentally friendly. Sustainability is a top priority for Dae.

- She wants to eventually make basic resources easily accessible to all and is doing its best to work out a solution. They're connecting the dots lol.

- Dae is a part of the hiking club and loves being around nature as much if not more than being in her lab. They often go hiking with Chunying on weekends.

For the last Ignihyde student and the final Benoit...

💀Cooper Benoit💀

First Year - (they/he) Nonbinary - Queer

- Cooper is twisted from Barrel and is the last of the Benoit family to be introduced. They are a very booksmart person and a math nerd.

- He's also disabled and typically uses a wheelchair. As such, they have been working on trying to improve the school's general accessibility as even with magic, NRC's campus can be difficult to navigate in a wheelchair.

- Similarly to Idia, Cooper is a total cat person and he and Idia take care of the strays together. Cooper's slowly memorising the names lmao.

That's all for Ignihyde! Diasomnia will be out tomorrow, promise! Tyty 🩷🩷🩷

kazuha nsfw alphabet

i was going through my drafts / planning document for the alt route of the kazuheizou x reader threesome and i realized i posted the heizou nsfw alphabet but didn't post the kazuha one??? anyways, enjoy

~

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Honestly, Kazuha seems like the type to flop down next to you after fucking you so well you'll cry. He definitely feels inclined to wipe the tears off of your cheek. After laying down and cuddling with you, if you express discomfort or exhaustion then, after a tender kiss, he'll get up to go get you something to drink and a damp washcloth.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Kazuha likes kissing and peppering bites all over the skin. I can see him being the type of guy to open your thighs and rub them ever so gently though. I think he likes thighs and skin.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Kazuha probably likes cumming inside with a long term partner, tbh, although I can understand the idea that he'd be quick to pull out because he doesn't want to settle down anywhere. I also have to acknowledge that he wouldn't want to be an absentee father. If he were with a wandering long term partner then I'm sure he would come to possess a birth control herb / tea.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Panty sniffer. Enough said. I have no doubt that he can smell arousal (he's just like me fr). Okay, this might be a hot take on my behalf, but I believe that a part of him would be partly disgusted but also partly intrigued if his partner came so hard they either squirted or peed a bit. I don't believe he gets off on omorashi, but it would definitely be something that stuns him in the moment.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Mildly experienced but definitely not a lady killer, uses his senses and keen observation to determine what is good more than anything else. Even if a scenario unfolds apprehensively and he isn't the CEO of sex, he would most definitely get the hang of how to proceed as the seconds tick by.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Missionary and the one with your back to his chest. Imagine reverse cowgirl but he's sitting up instead of laying down.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

I feel like Kazuha would be a bit goofy, but sometimes he gets really into it and wouldn't think of cracking jokes. If he were to be a tease, though, I think we can all agree that he would make the world's worst puns and cheesy haikus.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

I'd figure Kazuha doesn't trim bc it doesn't seem like his type of thing, but he doesn't grow too much hair to begin with so he isn't extraordinarily messy.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Beyond intimate. Kazuha is nothing if not thoughtful and considerate, so he would be so keen on putting his sensitive senses to use. He might even have a hard time getting lost in the pleasure because he's so aware of his partner's presence and his energy is focused on them.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

I feel like Kazuha doesn't get aroused for shits and giggles and that something instead has to happen. The ronin probably gets horny when he drinks or reads a scandalous poem. I might be so bold as to insinuate that he...jerks off...to erotica...hah.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Dear god

Body worship no doubt. Shibari. This sweet sweet boy probably likes having his face be sat on. He gives me service top vibes. I believe that he would also be open to the possibility of a threesome or an orgy. If I were to diagnose him with something a bit out of the box, though, I'd say that he could be a bit into breathplay and and into experimentalism. Look me in the metaphorical eye and tell me that Kazuha wouldn't read some super out of pocket but intriguing shit and then tell his partner: "I learned something interesting today...".

L = Location (favorite places to have sex)

Somewhere comfortable and secluded when sober, somewhere risky when drunk.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Foreplay, teasing, sexual tension building up, yearning after going a while without seeing his partner.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

I can't see Kazuha being into causing his partner physical pain, such as with discipline paddles or welts or open wounds.

I also think he isn't into explicit degradation/namecalling. I really can't imagine Kazuha calling his partner a 'good for nothing bitch slut' regardless of whether he's inebriated or not.

(Side note, if he were drunk, I could totally see him being mocking about his partner being needy. Shout out to that once fic where he calls the reader his 'darling whore' after some drinks. This is the fic!)

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

I believe Kazuha prefers to give, and when he receives I feel like he guides a lot. I believe that it isn't difficult to get him off at all, and that once he gets the hang of what his partner likes he adapts to what they need and encourages them to be vocal about what they want.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Sensual, starts off slow and speeds up a bit but miss me with that "thrusts into you at an inhuman speed" shit. I feel like he keeps a steady pace and instead focuses more on other parts of the body to threaten overstimulation :3 Once he's made up his mind about when his partner can cum nothing will stop him from getting there, with consistency and a rhythm being his deadliest weapons.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

I don't think he'd be into quickies.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Kazuha is definitely keen on experimentation, as I mentioned before. I feel that he would also be into risk taking because of the thrill involved. I truly believe, from the bottom of my heart, that Kazuha's mischevious.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

I think he has a short refractory period, so with this he can probably cum 3 times in a session if he takes breaks. I can only really see him getting physically sore if he's fucking a partner in a position where he has to bear all of their body weight in his arms.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

There is absolutely zero doubt in my mind. Listen, the general rule of thumb is that the more someone reads / the more flowery and artistic their nature is, the kinkier and more curious they will be in all facets of their life. Kazuha seems like the type to enjoy collecting little trinkets and delicate things, so I don't really see how this wouldn't carry over to sex.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

The blond's only a tease when the partner is being a brat, but he eventually does give in. He relishes in his partner's satisfaction rather than the control had over them.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Prefers to moan into his partner's ear and be very close to their face. Kazuha will definitely try to keep himself silent by biting into a part of his partner (like the shell of the ear, the neck, even the cheek). I don't believe that he's the breathy type.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

This might not be particularly horny, but I have a feeling that Kazuha is peak 'inappropriate use of vision'. He wouldn't just use his vision in battle; he would, instead, use the wind's grace to get you a fruit from a tree for example. I can also see him being an absolute perv and summoning a gust of wind to upskirt a partner.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Very well sculpted but not ripped. As beautiful as a statue carved from marble. Perhaps from being in the sun, he'd have freckles on his arms and a sunkissed face. Slightly above average dick that, I think, curves to his left. Very sensitive balls--- Kazuha's the type of guy that cries if you lick his perenium and nutsack while you give him a handjob.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

On a scale from one to ten I'd give him a solid six, since there is nothing about him that screams 'WHORE' but there is also nothing about him that leads me to believe he wouldn't be interested in sex. Poets, and creatives in general, are always on the hornier side.

I feel like he can be horny, especially in the morning if he had a hot ass dream, but if the partner is walking around in short ass shorts he won't fuck them on the spot. He would, instead, just step behind them and kiss their neck while hugging them around the waist. After kissing and foreplay then he is ready to go. Kazuha is definitely bolder when drunk but when he drinks too much he just gets sleepy instead.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

I think Kazuha's partner falls asleep first because he stays up thinking about what happened and just admiring their beauty.

𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐮𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 ?

as far as canons go, they are my lil glorbo's. i have a thing for main characters, especially underrated main characters. naruto and atsushi are just my lil guys that i heavily relate to in one aspect or another. i'm writing an alt verse of atsushi but i love atsushi's character in general ( i've considered adding his canon self ) john has been a recent add to this blog and just...i really love FAITH, the game hits all the good religious trauma / horror notes for me. i love a priest who is dabbling with his faith and loyaltys. as for my oc's well, some of them i've had for years ( dom and mia ) but a lot of them are new since i made this blog and i love each of them differently but deeply.

𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 ?

i'm pretty down for most genres. there are some tropes / writing themes i'm not into like pregnancy threads ( i could make an exception for mia ) and obviously gross shit like incest / pro-ship stuff makes me sick. heavy no. otherwise i'm pretty open to things like horror, comedy, romance, dark themes, religious themes.

𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 ?

i love writing romance and i'm tired of being made to feel sorry for it. of course i love writing angst, familial things as well but i really enjoy romance. i am a hopeless romantic in real life so, i just love shipping and the different dynamics that come with that. i love writing religious themes and general horror. i love writing characters who are total opposites it's just super fun.

mostly wing them. plotted things i have a little bit of an idea how things will go but i'd say 99% of shit i write is never plotted so, it's all me just winging it. i don't really enjoy super plotted threads tbh cause then it feels like i'm just coloring in the numbers ? i like things to be a little loose and free.

𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 ?

ask dump lucky number thirteen!

13 is actually my lucky number! it's been awhile since i wrote out any SNAP lore, let's hope i still got the touch

these asks include: Halloween, remote control bodies, mythic plants, minicon mass shifting, Sixshot's fluid transformations, Cheetor speaking with mechanimals, gambling, gravity-compressed food, sparks generating energy, and power up sounds

i don't think i have any expies of Halloween specifically. in the holiday list there's a few that would have spooky or dour undertones, like the Wake of Mortilus or the Tragedy. a lot of dwelling on the dead, the monstrous and such around then. it's plausible some cultures decide to make it a creepy costume festival

i absolutely do not remember that, all i remember about remote control bodies is the sturgeonoid thing. i don't think i do have a remote control body villain??

your version actually sounds more horrifying than anything, being able to rip someone from their body and put them into whatever you please. that's a puppetmaster setup right there. actually when i think about it that way i may have a villain who has done exactly that... hm

that's not a bad idea, i'd never thought about that before! there are old and extinct species of cyberflora, since Vector Sigma does occasionally stop producing certain types and they eventually all die off, so it's possible some of these got mythologized. even normal plants could be mythologized i suppose. maybe some city-states have legends about the bombegranate being used to trick wandering travelers to stay in the Well when they eat a few seeds or something like that

it's not infinite mass shifting, they have a lower range of approximately minibot sparkling sized and an upper range of about a size 3 youngling, which means they can vary by about 15'. mostly they use it to shrink down and squeeze into tight places or go unnoticed, and bulk up to intimidate or throw a heavier punch. they're very creative with it and quickly figure out how changing sizes affects their speed and handling in their alt modes when on the run. it's also a useful ability to distract and unnerve or even make someone completely not recognize them at a glance. i haven't drawn them yet, but Squawkbox mass shifts to more comfortably combine in root mode, as they're something of a mitotic spark when powered up instead of the separate twins they are as normal kids. it'll be better explained when i draw them

Sixshot could definitely do that, absolutely. it violates all known Cybertronian physicality and rules of biology, so it'd be just as horrifying as if you saw a human do that! but it's also exactly the kind of thing they'd do, tbh. they're kind of weird and sometimes lean into the unnerving vibe. i doubt Makeshift could do this when powered down (yet) but they definitely start getting a lil more fluid and flexible than normal even as a kid

oooo this was a cool short!

it's sort of possible. Cheetor can speak with mechanimals but that doesn't mean he can control them. a scene like this would require a LENGTHY conversation beforehand, convincing every insecticon or scraplet in the vicinity to help him out and either wasting time arguing with them or abandoning his efforts if they don't want to cooperate, and also going over a game plan for a specific strategy like forming bodies out of the swarm. most mechanimals don't even have complex thoughts like that either, so it would be an incredible challenge. he would have more success telling a mechanimal that an enemy is a good foodsource, or an interloper on their territory, or a threat to nests and dens, or something like that. simple things, not moral concepts, that align with what mechanimals actually experience and prioritize

this does of course mean sometimes he gets stuck negotiating or wheedling or out-stubborning a particularly unruly mechanimal, or trying to inventively communicate something that, say, a random songbird absolutely would not care about nor have any frame of reference for. a pigeonoid won't be able to repeat back vital information some Enforcers were talking about, only whether or not they dropped crumbs in their wake

it might be more effective asking scraplets to eat an enemy and work around what they do than tell them to swarm in a specific pattern

huh, i dunno! i don't know very much about gambling at all tbh

i imagine there's plenty of card games, betting on sports (especially on Velocitron), maybe even some gacha games or lotteries. i'm unfamiliar with a lot of slot machine or other gambling type of devices but i think there's probably some that work with object interfacing, and folks are more likely to think it's dependent on how your brain works or how efficient you are at interface when it's still up to chance

i'm not sure gambling would have as big a draw for mecha as it does for humans tbh. they can instinctively calculate probabilities more accurately than humans, and i don't think they'd get as big a dopamine hit on random chance success as we do. gambling games like cards or sports would be more attractive, where they can actually participate/predict and influence their chances

she definitely could, she does so with much larger chunks of matter all the time, but i'm not sure if it would be edible anymore. something that heavily compressed would be incredibly dense, so i'm not sure it would be chewable, and it may sit in a mech's tanks for way too long, or even be indigestible. she'd have to pick her materials and level of compression very carefully and experiment a bit with the assistance of someone who knows more about food. for junkers specifically, their more pressing need is fuel/energon over self-repair materials, and i don't think very many fuel sources could be so easily made into a lil food ball... energon would prolly just explode. Elita 2 might be able to help, but they'd need to be careful to not make it toxic. the idea has merit, but the execution isn't so simple

(the post this is referring to)

when they're alive, sparks sort of are self-generating. enough to perpetuate themselves, but not enough to power an entire frame without outside energy from fuel. but once they're gone, they're gone... with some recent notable exceptions. but a ghost isn't regenerative, it's just an imprint of energy that managed to stay roughly person-esque, which can happen with particularly powerful sparks like those of the supernatural Primes. but again, the way Vector died, he really shouldn't have had a ghost at all. i'm not telling you how bc i'd like to illustrate it someday but it was pretty final

oh that's an excellent question hmmmmmmmm

i want to say yes just for the anime of it all. the whole sequence with sparkles and effects and specific body parts changing and glowing and spinning and oo la la! i would guess to an outside observer it's like a flash and the usual transformation noise but Different somehow and a sudden rush of power like static electricity prickling across their sensors. and of course their catchphrases, like on the tech specs here. actually i think their powerup phrases would just be the faction "mottos" like this

hi!! sorry if you don't have an answer to this, but i know you're a metalhead like myself — so long story short, ive been looking at aromantic/aroace playlists but Suffering because they're All like the most boring pop music which i personally do not vibe with at all 😭😭 SO!! would you somehow have any aroace/aromantic rock or metal songs to recommend, even if they don't totally fit with that theme? or if not, just any song(s) you like in general would be cool too :] either way please have a nice day, and thank you!!

yeah sure! tbh, metal is not a genre that mentions romance at all (sometimes sex but v rarely too) so i feel like metal is already pretty aro-friendly in that sense? i don’t think there ARE any metal songs that give off aro vibes bc there are none that are about romance in the first place lol

in terms of non-pop/rock songs though, maybe these might be what you’re looking for?

Doomed by Moses Sumney (literally from his album titled Aromanticism. Idk how to categorise this genre but it’s not pop so hopefully you’ll like it?)

Television Romance by Pale Waves (this IS kinda poppy but I thought I’d throw it in here just in case)

Romance Is Boring by Los Campesinos

Love Is Dead And We Killed Her by Doll Skin

Bros by Wolf Alice (alt rocky, more abt friendship than anything aro though)

Blood and Guts by Bien Fang (not explicitly abt anything aro related but I just choose to interpret it that way)

I hope any of these fit the bill? Though I must admit it’s definitely thin pickings :/ if anyone else has any recs, lmk!

Happy International Fanworks Day!!

OTW's Creative Lounge recently shared some bingo sheets in honor of February 15th, so I thought I'd participate :').

Instead of doing a creator bingo card for all my works, because I'd just end up filling in every single square, I thought I'd just do one for my current WIP, Divine Intervention, the annoying Solo Leveling SCY/SJW drabble series that floods the front page of SL Ao3 sometimes.

More rambling about my fic and how it all started below the cut if you're interested! 💛 includes fic recs :D

I honestly never thought I'd see the day where I'd be making (and populating) a new tag all by myself, but stranger things have happened since the pandemic started, so here we are I guess LOL.

Honestly, believe it or not, Divine Intervention originally began from Woo Jin-Chul/Sung Jin-Woo roots (which ok, may not be so surprising because I recall several readers thought that was the actual pairingwhen we were first getting started, woops). Namely, another WIP of mine, Divine Right of Kings.

They share a lot of similarities which may not be so evident, seeing as Kings is less than 10 chapters posted, but source dude just trust me. They're both canon divergence AUs; apotheosis stories; Jin-Woo is Shadow Monarch in neither of them; deuteragonists; and, most significantly, they both feature a largely human cast--as the plot progresses, the amount of actual solo leveling that gets done dwindles to nothing, all in hopes of writing a universe where Jin-Woo actually gets the emotional support he deserves after the traumatic events that took place within the first 10 or so chapters of canon.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What can I say, I've got a type.

In the progress of planning Kings' main cast (besides the main pair), Chi-Yul popped up as a prime candidate for party member. An experienced hunter, his conflict was interesting from the get-go: a skilled swordsman who ended up in the wrong class. Who else's class commonly gets mistaken in SL? Well, Jin-Woo, except the reverse--where Chi-Yul doesn't successfully make the whole magic swordsman thing work, Jin-Woo pulls off assassin necromancer who revives whatever he kills pretty darn well.

The next step was figuring out how they would fit together.

Song Chi-Yul in Kings was supposed to play a very different role than in Divine Intervention. Namely, their dynamics are completely swapped: in Kings, I planned Chi-Yul as a mentor figure who teaches a still fledgling Jin-Woo magic early on, fostering a decent amount of trust to make the groundwork for their eventual partying. (Of course, well, we never got there, but still. I had plans, guys.)

We don't get too much of Chi-Yul in canon, so I began trying to write short snippets or oneshots just as exercise to get used to them interacting together. This, as it turns out, was either a terrible mistake for everyone who was waiting for me to write more WJC/SJW, or the birth of something truly great: a banger.

Fueled by my diehard R27 nostalgia to give me shipping lenses and a recent venture into the newest Fire Emblem game at the time, I knew I wanted some kind of knight-and-his-lady dynamic, though in the slash case, knight-and-his-lord. Kings' background gave me a solid inspiration for another apotheosis-type story, so now all I needed was a vibe.

TBH I have a lot of different inspiration sources for the vibe I was going for--something otherworldly, ephemeral, and ancient all at once. I think that deserves another post of its own lol (comprising of a lot of anime and manga, but it's the weeb in me what can I do 😔).

Here's some fic recs in the meanwhile because I know my fellow degens well:

For drabble series,

Guardian by forthrightly [Complete]: A Spirited Away Chihiro/Kohaku drabble series.

Chihiro spends a long, hot summer in a tiny seaside community, minding an old auntie's store, but a legend whispered by locals leads the young woman on a quest of rediscovery. A small story with small chapters.

It'll have you soft and sobbing at the end of it. Alt account of Forthright.

Imperceptible by forthright [Complete]: An Inuyasha Sesshomaru/Kagome drabble series.

A story told through a series of drabbles and oneshots, tracing the slow and steady progress of trust. Sesshoumaru x Kagome, CU.

An aching canon universe SessKag rendition.

Forthright is IMO the mother of all drabble series; they just do it best. All of their other drabble series are equally excellent; go check them out if you're digging the format :)

For vibe,

The Human Mask by harunekonya [WIP]: Natsume Yuujinchou, gen. 182k words

Sequel to Worthy of a Name. Natsume slowly learns to deal with life as a god. An inter-connected vignette series.

It's been over 4 years since I've read this fic but damn do I remember the way it made me feel. Insanely intricate, detailed storytelling, a masterpiece. The fandom is dead but thank god we got this jewel out of it.

fear is the monster you forgot to flee from (fear is the monster that won't let you go) by cywscross [Complete]: Solo Leveling, SJW/WJC. 25.6k words

Jin-Woo reawakens. But he reawakens… wrong. Different. Changed. Monstrous.

(Some do not see it. Others do and are rightfully afraid. And then there are those who are afraid and still want it. They want it, until they cannot live without it, and Woo Jin-Chul finds that he is terribly susceptible to the latter.

If you're in the SL fandom, you've read this fic, but I'm putting it here anyway as a hyperlink for when you inevitably go reread it now that I've reminded you about it (and also because it's the only SL fic on this list, not that there aren't more bangers by our fantastic writers in this fandom but just because that's not what this list is about).

The Unexplainable by Metamorcy [Complete]: Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Reborn/Sawada Tsunayoshi. 238k words.

He had only come here to fulfill a dying wish from a younger version of himself, to take his place in this world as Sawada Tsunayoshi. That had been fine, boredom plaguing him constantly in his long life as nothing seemed to matter anymore. So when Reborn arrives to train him as Vongola Decimo, he ends up with something a little more. Dark!Tsuna, Dark!Universe

I regularly go back to reread this when I need a bedtime story to assauge the 'ol insomnia. The supernatural vibes are off the charts. An old favorite is timeless :')

Satis by Eiserne [WIP]: Hellsing, Alucard/Integra Hellsing. 83.5k words.

Integra dies, only to wake up in the past, as a fifteen-year-old. AxI.

Jesus christ the loyalty kink. The vibe kink. The poetry kink. The feet kink, in a totally not weird way. I know it's the 2nd WIP on this list but just, trust me, I wouldn't rec it unless it would completely wreck you.....in a good way.

Anyway this wasn't a fic rec list on purpose so I'll leave it at that 😂 These are all enjoyable reads even if you know nothing of the fandom or characters involved!

If you made it all the way here, thanks for listening to me ramble! I have a lot of Feelings for this newest baby of mine and I hope to take Divine Intervention a long way forward yet 😌🙏🌺

Match up mayhaps if you have the time?

My pronouns are She/Her, and I'm bi >:)

For my physical appearance, I'm African/Filipino, my hair is really curly and brown, and goes to about my shoulders and I'm tan. I'm 5'3" and on the heavier side, most of it is carried in my thighs and tummy :")(and it don't even make sense how much body fat i have with how active I am, smh, really annoying. Making me all insecure,, and for what?) my chest is also big tho, got them DD's lmao. I have brown eyes, they're kinda small tbh, and I wear glasses. My nose is kinda flat and big and my lips are even bigger lol

I tend to have varying aesthetics, I go from wearing fishnets, ripped jeans, band tees and docs one day to athletic clothing the next day and then wearing pink dresses and flats. I also wear a shit ton of flannels. It is overall in the alt type of feel tho. Sometimes I will gave more of a farmer look to me tho, not as soft as cottage core, but it looks like I've been out with cattle all day or doing gardening. Straight up, I look like a farmer, and I vibe with it. My nose is pierced and I have just lobe piercings rn(I want more tho).

As for hobbies, I am really interested in learning languages. I speak English, Italian and ASL, im currently learning Japanese, Spanish and Russian. I actually plan to double major in a foreign language and either saxophone or jazz, I'm not sure yet. But as you can probably tell from that, I'm also a band kid. I have over 20 instruments in my room that I play and I can play even more that I can't afford to buy. Music is a lot of my life, last year, I spent 40+ hours each week on band alone(I was in 4 different bands, marching, 2 jazz, and concert). I've been a musician since I was little. I actually have just been a performer since forever. I've danced, and still do dance. Currently I'm doing Folklorico, and that's what I plan to stick with. I have done ballet, hip hop, jazz, and tap. I'm also a circus performer, I mainly do aerial silks and flying trapeze, but I've also done hoops. At some point, I want to be a circus mermaid at some point tho. I really just love to put on a show for people. That's honestly just what I live for. Keeping people entertained is always fun for me, even if I get exhausted lol

I dont really have an ideal partner, just someone who i can trust and who trusts me. Also someone who will be willing to put up with how much I do and even maybe give me feedback on how something sounds or looks. My love language is physical touch and quality time, so if thats any help

I know this is a lot, sorry about that haha... but im super excited for it!!
