You slam the door behind you, not out of anger, but because gravity just seems to hate you today. Of course the handle snags your bag, your keys fly across the room, and your phone—your poor, already-cracked phone—slides right under the couch.

Because why not.

First, you overslept. Then, you spilled coffee on yourself, got caught in the rain without an umbrella, and your boss decided today was the perfect day to be extra passive-aggressive.

You flop face-first onto the couch, not even bothering to fish for your phone. Just... let it go. You’ll become a permanent part of the fabric for now.

“…You dead or just dramatically dying?”

You groan without lifting your head. “Ruby, don’t.”

“Okay, okay, jeez,” Ruby says from somewhere behind you. “I’ll cancel the funeral arrangements.”

The couch dips as Ruby sits down beside you. A hand runs over your back once, then twice—comforting, even if he’s pretending it’s not.

“…Bad day?” he asks, softer now.

“The worst,” you mumble into the cushion.

Ruby huffs. “Alright. Sit up.”

“No.”

“Too bad.”

You’re halfway through your next protest when Ruby suddenly isn’t Ruby anymore. He shifts with a ripple of magic, and now there’s a sad-eyed puppy perched on your chest, tongue lolling and ears too floppy for its own good. You blink.

“Please,” the puppy says in Ruby's voice, sounding absurdly pitiful. “You’re my only hope. You wouldn’t let me starve, would you? Or worse—go without pets?”

You narrow your eyes. “That’s cheating.”

“I shapeshift, it’s strategy,” the puppy replies, tail thumping against your ribs.

You try not to smile. Try.

When he sees the corners of your lips twitch, the dog form melts away again—and suddenly Ruby's in your lap, dramatically draped like a cat who decided you are now furniture.

“You don’t get to mope when I’m around,” he says, smirking up at you. “Company policy.”

You finally let your hands rest on him, fingers threading through his fur—still warm from the magic, still slightly glowing at the tips. Ruby always has that faint ember in his skin, like his soul’s fire never fully goes out.

“I really did have a crap day,” you murmur.

“I know,” he says. “That’s why I’m here. To annoy the sadness right out of you.”

You snort. “That’s not how it works.”

Ruby shrugs, grinning. “Yet here you are, not crying into the couch anymore. Looks like I’m winning.”

You sigh, then chuckle. “You’re the worst.”

“And yet, undeniably effective.” He nudges your chin with his head. “So… dinner, cuddles, and me performing exactly one overly dramatic impersonation of your boss before you threaten to break up with me?”

You hesitate. “You’ll do the voice?”

“With perfection.”

“…Okay, fine.”

Ruby kisses your temple and shifts, hopping to his feet, snapping his fingers. “Alright! Operation Cheer-Up: Success in Progress. Let’s go, sad-sack, you’re not escaping me today.”

You shake your head, but follow.

You always do—with him.

Phantom is a member of JLA when everyone finds out that the Bats have contingency plans against everyone else.

While everyone else is shouting about trust and betrayal, Danny can't help but be relieved. He's seen his bad future, after all. Dan is reformed now, but that doesn't retroactively save the timeline he wiped out.

Danny only has one issue with the contingencies for him: Batman mistakenly believes that his intangibility works the same as Martian density shifting.

It doesn't. In fact, they're very different powers. Intangibility is more of a phase shift where he turns his physical form into energy.

This means that none of the contingencies in his file will work because they don't accurately account for one of his basic powers.

(The shouting actually gets derailed for a bit when he brings it up. All the scientists are a bit horrified about the implied energy conversions happening whenever he uses this "basic" power. As a halfa with an actual physical form, Danny should be giving off enough energy to blow up the planet whenever he transforms.)

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND NOBODY UNDERSTANDS AERRGRGGG

Madoka Magika AU Desert Duo. At first this is simply a gag to draw Scar in Madoka’s dress but the more I think about it the worse it gets.

Warning for Puella Magi Madoka Magika spoilers:

Martyn once mentioned a theory that Watchers feed off human emotions, and you know who also feeds off energy generated by humans?? KYUBEY FROM MADOKA!!!

Allow me to reiterate. Kyubeys are produced without emotions as a high functioning high intelligence species, but Grian is produced as a flawed piece, one with human emotions. He hides it well enough for years, before one of his mission like many others is to make magical girls/mages.

It all goes south when the girl he tries to make the deal with (supposed to be on the brink of death) was actually rescued by Scar, who is a very strong and passionate passerby that literally lifted up the rubble long enough to keep her alive.

Situation goes terribly wrong. Essentially, some accidents happen, and Grian who was supposed to make a contract with a teenage girl made a contract with SCAR, HUMAN ADULT GUY!!!!

And Grian is stuck in this contract because Scar jokingly made his wish for Grian to become a human, and Grian is stuck as a kyubey (watcher in this case) turned human. He still have majority of his watcher powers, but is now painfully mortal.

Grian leaves Scar instantly, without telling him what being a magical girl entails, absolutely furious that he has been doomed to this fate. Despite now knowing the fact that Watchers are evil, he cannot help but feel guilty for permanently turning Grian human, and is unfortunately Down Bad the moment he sees Grian’s human form..

Scar, being left with 0 instructions, began doing superhero work around the community, fighting crimes and helping old ladies cross the road.

They meet again when Scar wanders into his first witches’ labyrinth, where Grian saw him and followed him in, with the intention to get Scar killed in there! Surely if he kills Scar, this might be reversed!!

Scar, however, exceeds expectations, slaying the witch and expelling the labyrinth. After exiting, Scar instead of trying to harm Grian, his guilty ass decided to invite Grian to live with him.

Grian and Scar begin living together. They meet different magical girls, work together and discover more about the world. And eventually Grian learns how to be a mortal and has plans on severing his connections to kyubei.

But you know how madoka goes…

Walpurgis occurs, and Grian watches in powerless horror as Scar dies before his eyes. In his last moments, Scar tells Grian he doesn’t regret what he’s done, but he does wish that he could go back in time so as to save everyone and not end in tragedy. Grian clutches Scar’s hand, holding it close to his sobbing mess of a face and in his mind, a genius idea comes to him:

If he is human now, does that mean he can abuse this system and become a magical girl/mage himself?

And Homura Grian & Madoka Scar occurs.

Grian goes back in time to prevent Scar’s death. Scar still becomes a magical girl, but somehow history changes and he is in contract with another kyubey/watcher (evil jellie) and Grian utilises his very limited amount of human behaviour knowledge and tries to become friends with him again, this time being a human from the start. They go to the same uni now, and Scar does see G’s weird habits but decided that’s just how British people behave.

Doomed yaoi.

In lieu of the affected timelines, even though magical girl Scar is supposed to look like the watcher he makes the deal with, he doesn’t look like Evil Jellie, and instead retains his avian aesthetic from before Grian rewound time.

Please for the love of TOUTATIS MAKE A WW2 RESISTANCE FIGHTER ASTERIX

Asterix but in a different time period!?!? Low key making a 'modern day' Asterix kind of doesn't appeal to me, part of the charm is that it's set in 50 bc.

BUT WW2 RESISTANCE FIGHTER ASTERIX COULD GO CRAZY THOUGH

I kind of skimmed a few sources to get the general vibe of what was going on in this period to make the designs (ong if I got smth wrong please tell me) but ummmmmm yeah!

Story wise and name wise for them... I dunno, I don't know much cause I feel that the village, getafix and ceasar would DRASTICALLY change with the period.

I dunno, I just make silly doodles :]

As I'm typing this rn, I just noticed I forgot to shade Asterix's right hand on the sitting sketch. kill me So glad I was reading cause I remembered this could be used foe obelix

Womp womp

“Cassian assaulted Nesta and forced her to have sex with him🧌😡”

funny thing Nesta is the one who first suggests and sets the rules to how her and cassian begin having sex. Cassian only did what she asked, what she initiated. She practically begged him to have sex with her after the kelpie attack because she knew only the confirmation of his body would comfort her and erase those bad memories; make her feel safe. To which cassian refuses twice. Until Nesta again sets rules and asks. And cassian wants to be slow and kind but Nesta is the one who tells him no feelings attached. And cassian gets upset at that but again he does what she asks with no strings attached.

seeing people claim that lucanis is 'bad representation' is hilarious to me because in so many ways he's really the closest anything has ever gotten to capturing my own personal experience. sorry for being bad real life queer and mental health/neurodiversity representation folks 😔 I'll take time to reflect and do some work on myself and try to do better in the future
