I found some of the now-defunct-in-English Helix Waltz’ backgrounds on a Reddit post

It took me a whole day to think of something to do with them

Humor me…In this tail, you play as Durbe with his absolutely genius 🤪🤪 idea to infiltrate the Arclights as a cat maid because "humans can’t get enough of these infernal creatures." They are very behind on their barian power payments and don’t seem to be too keen on paying them back. Deciding to take things into his own hands, Durbe decides to make the Arclights pay and also discover why they need so much of his world’s power.

Definitely not for a card that would wipe out his people. That would suck.

I don’t think this was what @baddyzarc intended when Durbe was released into the wild so feel free to smack me with a lifetime ban from your fine premises

Okay so Like a Dog doesn't really fit Mikoto and John at all except for this one line maybe, but I really wanted to draw them in the pose.

Plus I wanted to make myself a new phone wallpaper that incorporates PAFL in some way.

Lavender!

Hm…

“Laaaaveeendeerrr! Wake up!”

Lavender groaned as she blinked awake. “Kashvi…?”

“Good morning, sleepyhead,” Kashvi giggled.

“What time is it? It’s too early…”

“Sleeping in won’t do if you’re going to be with the Seekers for the duration of your pilgrimage! They’re quite strict with their schedule, so get up! Breakfast is ready!”

At the mention of the Seekers, the tendrils of sleep washed away. “I’ll get ready!”

“Good morning, Diego,” Lavender greeted Diego, the monastery dog. He let out a soft bark in reply. “Good morning, everyone.”

She received gentle good mornings from the monicus as she sat down amongst them.

“They’re waiting downstairs for you,” Lakandiwa said.

“Oh, uhm, they’re not going to join us for breakfast?” Lavender then, sputtered, “D-Do they even eat?!”

Everyone laughed. Lakandiwa said, “Of course they do, that’s why Lawa and I woke up early to make breakfast. They tend to get up early.”

“They said to fill you up,” Chief Song chuckled, “it seems like they’ll be giving you a hard day today, Ms. Lee.”

Lavender finished her breakfast. She went down to the prayer room and saw two figures meditating in front of the image of the Watcher. She hesitantly stood there.

“Come. Meditate with us,” a female voice said. Her voice was smooth and cool. It has a tad bit of sharpness to it.

Lavender sat behind her. She took notice of the other Seeker’s ear. Pointy. A vampire.

“…I’d guard the monastery with Diego. And Seeker Mata too…”

She tried not to think about what Kashvi said last night and joined them in meditation.  

“Lavender Lee,” the female Seeker regarded her. “I am Iris. The First Seeker.”

“My name is Mata,” the vampire Seeker said. “The Second Seeker. I could hear your thoughts earlier, Lavender. Yes, I’m a vampire. It’s a long and old story.” He gently smiled.

“You are summoned to train,” Iris said. “You are the second Pupil that we will train, and the Watcher deemed it that you are ready to receive the Gift she will bestow upon you – a portion of her power. There are no longer wars waging between Circle Mages and…other races…and you might be thinking that this is useless.”

“But this is a gift from the Goddess,” Mata continued, “It is not useless. You will be able to use it, no matter how small the actions are. This training is not just any training – it is also our observation whether your strength and your character passes our judgement. The Gift is too much to bear – your predecessor had become greedy and abused it.”

“You have shown us promising faith and goodness, and I trust you will not disappoint us. This pilgrimage will test you, whether you will stay as the Pupil or not.”

“What happens if you didn’t see me as…promising?” Lavender anxiously asked.

Iris replied, “That mark on your back will vanish, and you will no longer hear from us in your mind. Our connection will be severed.”

Mata sensed her anxiousness. His gentle voice soothed her. “But we believe in you, Lavender. You are a good child.”

Iris nodded. The corner of her lips curling up. “And you’re a spellcaster. You have a background with magic. Unlike your predecessor.”

Her first training was to spar with Iris. Lavender was surprised that the First Seeker is a spellcaster – no, a mage. She could see the difference between a spellcaster and a mage – Iris fought differently, her moves were precise and firm. To Lavender, it is a sign that the Seeker is battle-hardened.

Lavender stood no chance with this, she’s not as strong as the sages, especially since she was trained not for battles but only for decent defense and only for practice. She was never trained for fighting.

“You are not taking this seriously,” Iris clicked her tongue.

“But I am!” Lavender panted. “That’s what they taught me!”

“What the Sages taught you is not enough. You cannot use the Gift half-heartedly. It is good they taught you basic practices, but you need better offense and control. Again!”

Lavender doesn’t know the time now, but apparently, it’s lunch. Mata placed down a blanket and a basket of lunch that Lawa had prepared. Iris had finished already, so Lavender sat alone, eating her food. Not that she minded. She couldn’t really talk because she’s famished. It’s her third helping.

“I think you went hard on her,” Mata chuckled. “Were you that excited?”

“Who wouldn’t? It has been a while since I could spar with another mage,” Iris huffed, but she was smiling.

“But she’s a spellcaster, not a mage.”

“Same thing,” Iris looked at him. “The difference is that spellcasters limit themselves. They don’t want to follow the path the Circle Mages had gone.”

Mata hummed.

“You cast like a child!” Iris yelled.

Lavender let out a shout of frustration as she fought back, but before she could retaliate, the Seeker’s magic lifted her up in the air...

This will hurt like a bitch tomorrow...

“Oh, welcome home. I’ll fix something for you,” Kashvi smiled. “Crimson tea, Seeker Mata?”

“Yes please.”

Lavender floated on the bath pool. The warm water soothed her aching muscles. “My arms huuuuurrrttt! I feel so exhausted!”

Mata went in the pool. Lavender felt her body feeling warm. “Woah, what are you – ”

“Taking a bath,” Mata titled his head, confused. “This is a communal bath.”

She chuckled awkwardly. “Oh. Oh yeah. Hahaha. Yeah…”

Iris finally joined them. The Seekers stood on one side of the pool, quietly scrubbing their limbs. Lavender stood an arm’s length away from them.

“Uhm.”

They looked at her.

“Do you always bathe together?”

“Yes,” Mata said, still confused. “Why?”

Iris huffed. “Whatever you’re thinking, you must shed those thoughts. These thoughts will hinder your control with the Gift. This is a communal bath. Even the monici bathe together.”

Lavender pouted, “I know that…!”

She splashed Iris.

“You cast like a child, you act like a child,” Iris said, putting emphasis on every child she said. She splashed her back.

Mata laughed.

Tiny ferns of ice unfurled from Caitlin's fingertips, dancing across the desk and glistening in the brief moments before they melted under the fluorescents. "That's why you're hiding," Iris said. "What else can we do?" Hartley said. "Zoom's won. This isn't a fight, this is his victory lap." "Do you really believe that?" Iris asked. "Yeah," he said. "He already killed the one man we thought for one tiny moment might have a chance against him. No one else does. You should get out of Central while you still can." "It's my home," Iris said. "I'm not abandoning it, and neither have the three of you." "None of us have anywhere to go," Jesse said. "That's not why," Iris said. "Three weeks ago I woke up from a coma to find my boyfriend was killed nine months ago, my best friend is presumed dead with several of his colleagues, he's a C.S.I, his boyfriend- my friend- is missing, and there is a monster terrorising my home. I can't do nothing, I can't run away, and neither can the three of you. Jesse, he took your dad and now he's breaking into labs across the city. I was a journalist before the lightning, I can find out what he's taking, can you help me work out what he wants it for?" "To what end?" Hartley asked. "None of us can fight him." "Not alone," Iris said. "But I woke up with these too." She held out her hands, letting them vibrate, letting the purple lighting wrap around her, letting its warmth push out into the air. "I might not be the Flash," she said. "But Zoom's not winning while I'm still standing. Can you help?" Caitlin looked up at her, brown eyes bright with wonder and hope and determination. "What's the plan?" she asked.

Nine months ago S.T.A.R. Labs' particle accelerator blew up, killing Ronnie Raymond as he tried to shut it down. Nine months ago Eddie Thawne was shot in the line of duty, trying to stop Clyde Mardon getting on a plane and fleeing the city.

Nine months ago Iris West was in her best friend's lab when she was struck by lightning.

Two months ago Zoom finally broke into C.C.P.D. and killed four people before the Flash showed up. Before he turned his attention to the Flash, very publicly showing the city a broken body, before disappearing into the night with his prize.

Two months ago Zoom ripped through S.T.A.R. Labs, shattering the building, taking Doctor Wells from his office, and leaving the building deserted. Leaving his daughter alone.

Three weeks ago Iris West woke up from a coma to find the world a different place entirely. To find her boyfriend dead, and her best friend gone, nothing left but the blood found in his lab the night Zoom broke in. Wally said Cisco refused to believe it, that he told Wally Barry was still out there somewhere, that he would find him, but no one's seen him since either and everyone can only fear the worst. Zoom took them both away from her, and Iris is not letting him hurt anyone else like he's hurt her.

Now, Zoom's metas run riot on the streets of Central. Sand Demon, King Shark, Reverb, Black Siren, too many to count, too many to fight, too many to hide from forever. Caitlin knows the choice Zoom offers to them all. Join him, or face the same fate as the Flash, as the only one who dared deny him. For months all she has felt she can do is delay the inevitable for as long as possible. That all she has left is fear.

Something about Iris West makes her want to be brave.

Nine months ago, Caitlin Snow lost her fiancé. He gave his life determined to save as much of the city as he could. If Central falls to Zoom, then Ronnie gave his life for nothing, and Caitlin is not prepared to let that happen any more.

None of them can fight Zoom alone. But together?

If Zoom thinks he's won, he's got another thing coming.

Happy birthday @shrinkthisviolet! I hope you had a nice day, here is the start of a Snowest AU for you

anyone know any narrative fiction podcasts that don't suck

[kittyoverlord]

Timeline/theory:

Crunchyfeather Krispykreme resurrected Yes? at the end of Sophmore year, and transformed it into OK. The group tried to convert Lucy to be a cleric of this new god, and when Lucy refused they killed her (or plane shifted her in a way that meant she couldn't return to the material plane?).

EDIT: post ap I think it's more likely Lucy resurrected Yes? and then it was changed, so the paperwork was filled out for Yes? then the name disappeared.

She watched him, her gaze roaming his handsome face, dipping to his lips for a split second before meeting his eyes again. “I’m thinking…” she began and swallowed, her heart in her throat. “That the Eris I’ve been getting to know is one I don’t mind being around so much.” /  It was this tone that had her licking her lips before very, very quietly adding, “I’m also thinking that I would like to kiss you but I’m scared and it — it feels like too much.” ❥ “I’m thinking,” Eris began, his voice dropping an octave. “That I would really like to kiss you too but if I start, I don’t think I’ll be able to stop.” he said simply and Iris’s heart began beating even more wildly in her chest. “I’m thinking about how I don’t think you’ve been kissed the way I want to kiss you and it excites me more than it should.” Spirit Meets the Bones

If I could break it, If I could change Can I do it, I wonder from when I started to give up

I wanted to draw them hugging but realized that Mikoto looked kind of sad in the sketch, so I decided to lean into that. Now they look like their entire family got murdered or something.
