Another day, another Advent Calendar picture. This time snow has unexpectedly arrived to Sumeru with… predictable consequences. Remember to step carefully! You never know where it's slippery and icy.

The photo is not of the best quality but good enough...

Shudder Shock of Pale: Full Timelapse

This piece is never going to get the love it deserves from me. I made it during a time where I was figuring out the way I wanted my style to look. I didn't entirely like the way my style looked, either. It deserves love from people who don't care about that. So, here, enjoy!

when i say “i’ll listen to anything” i MOSTLY mean that whole heartedly. the only exception to this is the very specific genre of “pop cover of a Disney song that plays during a parade at one of the theme parks”

[holdinsteddie]

au where steve/eddie/robin are hanging out at eddie’s and out of the blue robin asks the room “how long is your ideal hug?”

and with zero hesitation steve replies “at least 45 minutes. probably a good hour or two if i could swing it”

eddie and robin blink.

robin: …i don’t think that’s very realistic, dingus

steve, still reading his magazine and not at all paying attention to the way robin and eddie are Looking at him: *scoffs bitchily* you said ideal, rob, not realistic

and this is where steve will swear that robin and eddie have developed their own psychic link because the next thing he knows, eddie is yanking steve down so he’s laying on top of eddie on the couch and robin is laying down on top of him and: “guys what the fUck”

robin and eddie, in unison: steve sandwich

steve, softly but with feeling: what the fuck

eddie: let us give you your ideal hug, okay sweetheart?

steve, dying inside but also fucking Living: …okay c:

How about instead of soulmates we do a Red String Of Fate AU? I'm specifically thinking of bowuigi but I've got some ideas for a setting that could work with any pairing.

In this universe most people have two or three Red Strings. The Fate they indicate can be romantic, platonic, or even negative. Immediate family doesn't typically have a string because they're for people you will have a fate with, not people you've known your whole life. This is a bit of a shame for the bros, because the strings can be pretty useful. You can follow them to find each other and send emotions through them. You can also sever the strings, although this is intensely painful and physically draining, especially for the person doing the severing.

Mario has ten strings, one on each finger, which is incredibly rare. Luigi always felt just a little bit inadequate, even though his four are still above average. Bowser has three, one for Peach, which she severed after his 2nd kidnapping, and one for each bro. He severed the one with Mario himself after he learned Mario and Peach were together, but he couldn't bring himself to snip the last one and have everyone know he'd lost every single one of his bonds.

Luigi considered severing it out of spite, but after seeing how much pain Mario was in he couldn't do it. Yet more proof of his cowardice, Luigi thinks. (Mario would never wish ANY pain on his little bro and Peach has already lived through her own severing. Both of them would say not to if he asked).

So they just sort of exist in this unspoken standoff for a while, until one day Luigi ends up lost and overwhelmed by enemies. He can't escape and he can't reach anyone, but he still has his strings. Bowser is the only person he can think of who might find him in time. It's a long shot, but…

Luigi sends fear and despair through his string to Bowser until Bowser decides to track him down just to get it to STOP. Luigi is so grateful to be rescued that Bowser almost (almost) forgets to be mad. He tells Luigi never to do that again and Luigi agrees. They part ways both thinking that's that.

But then a new villain pops up and Bowser is pressed into service, his body being controlled against his will. The Mario bros and their friends don't question Bowser working with a fellow baddie, he's done it before, but Bowser manages to send rage and helplessness through his string to Luigi. Luigi convinces the others something is up, and they rescue Bowser instead of fighting him. He joins up for the rest of the adventure, and only at the end does he mutter "thanks" to Luigi as he's leaving. It's more than Luigi was expecting!

Not long later, Luigi is having a bad night and sends sadness through the string. A couple minutes later his phone rings, and Luigi answers to hear Bowser snapping, "What?" "I'm sad." "I got that, why are you bothering ME about it?" "Because you already think I'm pathetic." "I don't think you're pathetic, greenie," Bowser says. "Because you don't think about me at all?" "…………………yep."

Luigi calls when he's feeling depressed a couple more times, then Bowser starts calling whenever he wants to complain about something and nobody's convenient to listen to him rant, using the same excuse that "You already think I'm an asshole." Pretty soon they're talking almost every day.

Luigi never does find out how Bowser got his number that first time…

They don't tell anybody about this. It's not like it's a SECRET, it just doesn't come up in conversation… And maybe they make sure of that.

Eventually they develop a habit of sending a flash of emotion whenever they're thinking of each other. Usually positive, but sometimes melancholy. The first time they're on opposite sides after they've become friends, Bowser keeps sending anger until Luigi sends anger right back. He seems impressed.

Luigi was surprised to learn (though he never tells Bowser this) that Bowser feels ALL his emotions just as strongly as he does anger. Joy, pride, even sorrow. He's almost pure, in that way. Bowser's happiness feels so good that Luigi wants to make him happy.

Not that he can tell him that either…

(it gets spicy from here)

Eventually, their habit of sending emotions whenever they think of each other backfires. Luigi is… alone, one evening, and on autopilot he sends Bowser exactly what he's feeling about him at that moment. He's so caught up he almost doesn't realize what he's done.

Until a few minutes after he's finished, when he gets a surge of desire in return just as strong as the one he sent.

(He has no idea how badly Bowser was freaking out on the other end. Was it an accident? Luigi couldn't- No way! Right? But if it was an accident he'd call, right? Okay wait it out…)

It turns into a kind of ritual. One will send out a brief flash of desire, and then wait for a reply. It can be a long time, hours, but once they're both sure they're alone, well… Sharing feelings can be very useful. It's like having phone sex, without the need for phones.

They don't talk about it. Not once, not even over the actual phone. The next time they see each other in person is awkward, but they've already been pretending they're not friends, adding another secret is no big deal.

Things don't escalate until the first time Luigi has to acknowledge it. He's on an adventure with his brother and even if he could get a few minutes alone, he's too tired and stressed to enjoy anything. So after a couple nights of ignoring Bowser's "messages," Luigi sneaks off to call him. "I can't, I really can't right now." "But you want to," Bowser says. "I can't." "I'll wait," Bowser says. "You don't have to?" "Nah. It's no good without you anymore." Which is a big admission considering this is the first time they've acknowledged it at all. "You call me the minute you get home." "Okay," Luigi says, breathlessly. How's he supposed to pretend to be normal NOW?

But he does what he said, and calls Bowser as soon as he's home. Bowser confirms that he's alone, and tells him to wait twenty minutes. Somehow, Luigi is still surprised when Bowser shows up at his door.

They don't even make it to the bedroom.

Once he can think again, Luigi is stunned by how EAGER Bowser was. Sure, they'd been doing that little ritual of theirs for a while, but he never thought Bowser would want to take it further. Luigi's always been the one who reached out first.

…Luigi's always been the one who reached out first.

He's the one who asked for help. He's the one who opened up emotionally. He's the one who admitted (albeit by accident) that he was attracted to Bowser.

Has Bowser, all this time, just been following Luigi's lead?

He only has one string left. Maybe a part of him - maybe a lot of him - thought that if he pushed it he'd lose that last one too.

Luigi really wants to ask, but Mario stops by in the morning and it's not exactly easy to hide an overnight guest four times your size. Mario can tell someone stayed over.

Mario leaves, teasing him a little about wanting to know who's upstairs, and Luigi is left torn between talking to Bowser about Feelings and Relationships, and trying to brainstorm a believable lie for his brother.

In the end he does neither and lets Bowser pull him back into bed.
