Communication

@year-of-the-echidna

This is very much a WIP, and has a LONG way to go, but I’ve been working on this recently and it lines up perfectly with the Communication prompt.

In Fractured Frequency, a significant aspect of the story revolves around Knuckles’ library, and in particular, an ancient codex compiled by his ancestors—a trove of cultural knowledge (predating Tikal’s era, and the clan’s collapse), called the Echidnovian. In the most recent chapter, Knuckles reads the opening passage from the section of writings on Chaos Energy, the Emeralds, and their mysteries as his ancestors understood them.

When it’s done, THIS piece is meant to be the page that Knuckles read in Ch 12. Here is the passage where he describes the Codex and reads this passage:

The page above follows this passage read left to right with the lines bringing across the Master Emerald. 


Part of this prop within the story has required a lot of thought about Knuckles’ native language. How it is written, how it is carved, or painted, and certainly how it is translated. This is the culmination a collection of research, inspiration, and just a lot of personal imagination on what it looks like. I’ve always wanted to create some of the key pages of the book. In doing so, to avoid having a bunch of scribble scratch for the written text, I realized I actually have to CREATE some of it. So I guess along side this epic of a story I’m writing, I’ve started constructing a something of writing system as well.

Here’s a bit of sketchy stuff from the process.

I’ll try to share more as the pages come together.

Moze x Jiaoqiu

word count: 900~

description: just mozqiu being domestic (pre-2.5 events)

moze is the type of husband who always cleans, keeps everything neat, he will run (quite literally) anywhere and do any errand without complaint, nothing is too hard or difficult for him. he is v protective, „I promise I will bring him back“, nothing is stopping him from getting his husband back, he is confident in his abilities, to the point he isn't even worrying. he always attentively listens to jiaoqiu’s ramblings, his full attention on the foxian. he will eat anything jiaoqiu puts before him, no matter his preferences. uttering simple praises after the meal and never letting his husband clean up.

at night he cuddles with him, being the big spoon, holding his husband close, face buried in the orangey pink hair. like a touch starved kitten, he gravitates to him during the day, always hugging him- backhugs are his favorite. jiaoqiu always smiles, a sparkle in his eyes with each embrace. moze is often quiet, very thoughtful- usually ending up blunt in his words but not cold, never cold. the care and love for each other shown in the soft words, gentle embraces and lingering gazes. moze doesn’t do causal touches, his hands don’t wander to jiaoqiu’s soft tail, or even softer ears, or to caress him. he doesn’t want to overwhelm his husband or make him uncomfortable. yet when they stand close he bumps his nose against his. and when he is so so tired he rests his forehead on the shorter man’s. recharging, seeking comfort, love. luckily for him, his husband knows his main love language is physical touch. jiaoqiu bringing his hands to cup his cheeks, thumbs caressing the rough skin. he misses the smile that brightens the foxian’s face, his eyes shut relishing in the sensations. such a sensitive and responsive man. jiaoqiu is the only person moze allows to touch him, to drag those soft fingers across his scars, through the silver hair, to see him shirtless. he is the only one with whom he makes and keeps eye contact. moze is the type of husband that even without being close jiaoqiu can feel his touch on him. sitting across him, over a hotpot. lilac eyes on him. full of love. as if he is caressing his husband’s cheek at that moment. making jiaoqiu’s chest feel warm from the feeling of such a silent expression of admiration.

on the days jiaoqiu voices that he feels tired a quick response is given in turn “I can carry you.” a blunt, straightforward, and the same offer every time. he is more than happy to carry him + he enjoys showing off for his hubby. not caring for the public opinion or any observers; it doesn’t even cross his mind, jiaoqiu’s happiness the only thing on his mind. sadly, he is always rejected (occasionally making him pout). moze doesn’t even know why (painfully obvious why, the rare blushed jiaoqiu further confirming it). shadows are his safe haven, but jiaoqiu is his peace. they fill each other's needs, like puzzles fitting together, completely domestic in their behaviors; perfect for general feixiao’s safety and well-being. despite working together they don’t get tired of each other. work is work and their house is home.

coriander is not allowed under this roof and no big lights are ever on. when they have guests, jiaoqiu compensates with many small lamps, fairy lights, and a bunch of candles. unscented ones. otherwise, they would clash with the meal. sometimes, jiaoqiu will light a scented candle, but it won’t be lit for longer than an hour, otherwise, he would get overwhelmed due to how sensitive his nose is to smells. moze being the clean freak, and insistent on maintaining really good hygiene and not strong perfumes so he can do his job perfectly would just make jiaoqiu purr if he could. type of husband truly only for him. jiaoqiu is quite a social butterfly and he drags his husband with him, who will grumble a bit and then go along, and behave politely to the best of his capabilities. moze cannot read a room to save his life, short in his sentences and straight to the point despite pondering his words prior, they end up always coming off blunt. he means no harm and what he says is usually of little matter, and none of it holds any weight to him when all he needs is to hear his darling chuckle or gaze at him and all is well in his world. the only result he could possibly ever wish for.

and when they kiss? the lighting and shadow with fire and spice? the I talk a lot, flirtatious, rarely flustered with I listen to you with heart eyes, mainly unaffected but you make me smile. well… they keep it private. such actions feel too personal and intimate for them to be shown in public and given for anyone to see on display. they hold it too close to their hearts, it matters in a different way to them. something near and dear. they won’t be caught showing pda, not even holding hands- well they rarely hold hands either way. it is behind closed doors and in the privacy of their home that their lips meet, and hands wander, leaving soft touches in intimate places that they’d never do in public (unlike many others). it means too much to them.

Will, Maynard, Dorthea, Frida and Diego...

Author/dentist—Will Lillibridge (my great-granduncle) wrote the book Ben Blair. It was published by A. C. McClurg & Co., Chicago, 1905. This was the same year Will’s older brother, Lowell Stanton Lillibridge (my great-grandfather) helped settle the town of Burke, South Dakota where I grew up. I recently discovered that the cover art for Ben Blair was done by artist, Maynard Dixon—he was married…

I understand that I may be indulging in a littleeeee bit of woobifying, but I’m allowed to because I’m saying nothing but the truth and because if I’m the only one carrying the entire Yeom Haesang fanclub on my back, then I’m allowed to treat myself.

[song-of-the-frozen-pines]

I among many others rejoice in your biblically accurate Mr. Jacked Walt Disney. Thank you for always indirectly reminding me what a simp I am for this man

Your service in the CoS EdWin trenches is also recognized and greatly appreciated 🫡

I love it when people take fic writing seriously. I love when it's not 'Here's this dumb thing I wrote' and instead it's 'Here's this thing I put blood, sweat and tears into. Here's this thing I slaved away at, trying new writing techniques and editing over and over. Here's this dialogue that kept me awake at night. Here's this beautiful turn of phrase I thought up. Here's this thing that I wrote with vulnerability and heart, and I am proud to share it with you.'

Uh oh, a silly little magical girl AU idea I had is starting to turn into one I'm attached too

It started off just thinking about themed outfits for some characters, to how some of the members end up joining, then it turned into slotting a mascot for the team, then the obligatory "normal" person who knows the group's secret, then the powers of the antagonist group...

...I never had personal experience with all the posts here and on r/AO3 that are like "look at me and all my WIPs and AUs that I haven't worked on and keep adding to" since I mostly focused on 1-2 things at a time but I'm starting to understand them now 😭

Scott and his weird faces part 9

Bonus (not Scott tho but they were too good to pass):

[thepetulantcat]

Das Ganze geht noch weiter!!

Da Mr. Unter-Fünf-Prozent ja unbedingt „mehr Musk und Milei wagen“ möchte, schreibt er nach Elons AfD-Liebeserklärung prompt ein love letter an sein love interest:

… und während Fanboi Chrissi so verzweifelt wie vergeblich darum bettelt, an der Rakete vom großen Elon lecken zu dürfen, sind alle wieder super gemein zu ihm. 🥺

Heartbreak! 💔😭

Weiß ich, ob das echt ist? Nein. Regt es mich trotzdem ungemein auf? Ja.

Ohne nachzugucken - es ist vermutlich echt. Musk hat einen ziemlichen hard-on für Deutschland (ich vermute u.a. wegen der Tesla-Produktion hier und seinen Kontakt mit *schauder* Arbeitsrecht) und macht regelmäßig Kampagne für die AfD
