At least there’s no bears

Daryl Dixon • They/Them Pronouns • Usually Daryl can see where the traps lay…but then you got caught • ANGST/SFW • TW: Injuries / Blood Loss / Anxiety

Requested by: Anon

Daryl slowly sat up in his bed knowing he has the hunt today and that his partner will be joining him. Which meant he had to get ready and then drag their ass out of bed so they could get ready.

Once they both were ready, Y/N stretched their back out waiting for the archer who was currently informing the early bird Rick on their whereabouts for the morning.

“Hey, eat” Daryl startles them out of their thoughts as they tiredly take the protein bar handed to them and started to dig in while they walk to the gates.

It was a cold and nice morning for the two to go on foot for the entirety of the hunt. Even if Y/N does miss his bike to at least go a bit further out.

“You still waking up?”

“Meh.” They shrug adjusting the rifle on their back as they held onto the strap while looking around. “Why do we have to hunt early? Like. It’s what 5AM?”

“Have a watch to confirm that?” Daryl laughs a bit only to be hit with a pebble in the back of the head. As he quickly whips back, Y/N pretended like nothing happened only for him to playfully glare. “I’d be careful of any left behind traps. Don’t think there’s anything as serious as a bear trap but better to be aware”

“Why do people hunt bears? Some of them may be stupid, then others just want to steal your picnic baskets”

Daryl stopped once more only for Y/N to run right into him from not paying attention. He gave them a confused look.

“For someone who had a brother with only a few working brain cells. He didn’t watch cartoons? YOU didn’t watch cartoons?”

“Yogi bear”

“SEE YOU DID”

“Merle only watched cartoons or fights”

“Sounds very Merle coded” Y/N laughs a bit as they branched off a bit into a different direction to check out a bush with fruit on it.

The archer kept an eye on them for the most part, not like they would need the extra set of eyes since their first response in danger is to fight or find the closest hiding spot. They were also one of those adventure types from the old world and would almost always be outside so he knew that they knew about certain signs of danger and especially what’s poisonous or not.

“Those berries good?”

“Nah. But it could be good bait for small critters that can have it” Y/N plucked a handful as the two quickly turned to the sudden scurry that was too quick for a walker and Daryl went to follow.

When the tracks came up empty, Daryl was hit in the head again and turned to Y/N who had just caught up to him.

“What?”

“Did yea hit me with a berry?”

“No but thanks for the idea” Y/N laughs kneeling down to grab the acorn that fell, also grabbing the few acorn caps off the ground. “You ever wear these on your finger tips? As a kid?”

“And pretend your fingers were friends or some shit”

“That’s incredibly sad. If only I lived near the forest in Georgia then we would’ve been friends. Always find me in the trees”

“City kid?”

“Yeah but my sister always took me to the park to get outside and yknow, also not to hear bickering soon-to-be divorced parents” They laugh a bit as they took one of Daryl’s hands to put an acorn cap on one of his fingers before finding another bush in their peripheral to go investigate.

Daryl looks at the little acorn cap they put on his finger and thought it was cute of them, but before a smile could even grace his features. Fear shot right through him.

“son of a—-FUCK!” Y/N yells as their voice echoed through the forest followed by the thud of their body hitting the ground. They looked down to find the bear trap latched onto their left ankle. “Fuck fuck FUCK” they were too afraid to move and once Daryl finally came over.

The color in his face drained as he knelt down to assess what happened.

“You should’ve watched where you were going”

“Seriously?!” Y/N snaps at him for stating an annoying yet obvious response. Only for the sudden jerk to worsen the pain as they couldn’t look at their blood drain from their body or they might pass out. “Oh god”

“Jesus fuckin’ christ—-We gotta get this shit off yea without taking the foot”

“Oh”

“Oh?!” Daryl stops messing with it to lock eyes with Y/N a moment as neither exchanged a word. “What the fuck is happening right now?! Did I hurt yea further or—-“

“SOMEONE HAS TO BE THE CALM ONE”

“DEFINITELY DOESNT GOTTE BE YOU”

“SHUT YOUR MOUTH BEFORE THE WALKERS HEAR YOUR YELLING” Y/N snaps only for Daryl to cover their mouth waiting for the snap of twigs he heard to just be a critter and not what they had said a few seconds ago.

“I wish yea didn’t adapt your feelings to the situation when you’re the goddamn one that’s injured.”

“Freaking out to my full potential will only make me sob and the pain a whole lot worse” Y/N squeezed their eyes shut to fight back the tears as it was starting to get way worse. They carefully took their belt off even if it meant shifting, a wince, and Daryl flinching to the pain response. “Tourniquet”

“Smart. Very smart” Daryl takes the belt from them and got started applying such above their ankle before assessing what he should do next.

A lot of blood.

A lot of fucking blood.

It’s a 2hr window before they might lose it even with a tourniquet.

Y/N watches as Daryl thinks too loud in front of them. They were worrying about him even if they are the one bleeding less now. They clear their throat to get his attention as his expression instantly went to stress and worry thinking something worse was happening.

“Take the bear trap off, wrap the wound in your bandana, then carry me home so Denise can patch me up” their voice was shaky after silently crying a bit to themselves. Daryl did exactly what they said, a bit confused why they were so clear minded about it.

Next thing they knew, Daryl was carrying Y/N on his back all the way back to Alexandria.

“This shouldn’t have happened…”

“D, come on…”

“I knew this area had fuckin’ traps last time I was out. Should’ve taken them out before dragging you out here”

“You didn’t drag me out here” Y/N frowns. “And you would’ve gotten yourself caught in a bear trap. It just happens by accident”

“You shouldn’t have come…”

“I wanted to. You asked and I said yes…even if you didn’t I would’ve come out to find you if you’re didn’t leave a note like you usually do” They rest their head on his shoulder trying not to let the blood loss beat them with the exhaustion. “Shits unpredictable sometimes…”

“You’re too optimistic sometimes” Daryl sighs, listening to them hum in agreement as he felt their body shift against him. Making his anxiety pick up the pace to get to Alexandria.

It’s been a few hours and Y/N woke up exhausted but at least patched up and in the infirmary. They noticed they were alone but at least there was crutches to help them get around.

As they managed to get up and out of the building, Daryl was starting to head back to them carrying something when he noticed them on the crutches.

“You’re supposed to stay in the fuckin’ bed”

“Don’t tell me what to do” Y/N scoffs. “I wanna be in my bed. With you. Thank you very much” they were about to move past him when Daryl took their crutches leaving them still in a flamingo pose. “Daryl. Don’t be a dick”

“Let me set shit down inside and I’m carrying yea to bed. And ain’t taking no for an answer”

“Then can you hurry up? You or Denise or whoever took my jacket and I’m cold” Y/N frowns waiting for Daryl, watching him go inside the house leaving them out there longer than they had wanted.

But Daryl came back out in a little bit of a sprint with one of his sweaters, helping them get it on before picking them up bridal style and going toward the house.

“You gonna be nurse back to health?”

“Ain’t leavin’ yea that’s for sure”

“You’re sweet”

“You’d fall down the stairs if I left yea alone”

“I think I’m gonna take back calling you sweet” Y/N laughs resting their head on his shoulder as he pushes every door he had to open with his foot. Eventually getting to their room and setting them on the bed.

The archer carefully propped up their ankle using his pillow and covered them with his blanket. Y/N got comfortable watching Daryl move around the room moving a few things but then he left to grab something.

When he came back a moment later, Y/N had fallen asleep given their body was still wiped out and the drugs Denise gave them still floated around. Daryl set the glass of water on their nightstand along with fresh bandages for when they wake up so he could put new ones on. In the mean time, he moved to his side of the bed taking his boots off before bringing his whole self beside them.

Y/N opened their eyes a sec to see him beside them as they carefully moved their self close enough to bring their head on his shoulder. Daryl rests his head on top of theirs taking the time to finally relax.

“At least there wasn’t any bears”

“Shut up and go to sleep”

husband!jacob arranging a reunion party for your friends and his with all your children too. but unlike the other couples, you two are the only one with one child yet although he/she is already five.

so... let's assume your firstborn is a girl. coz like, yknow jacob only has a brother and he has a nephew so it would be wonderful for him if he had a girl 🤭

then the kids play together while the adults are preparing dishes and the table together. then your kid approached you, hugging your leg as she looked upset. you carried your kid and calmly asked what happened and why her mood was down. she explained while hugging you with teary eyes, although she's trying to conceal it, that all the other kids have playmates at home, meaning, they can play even after this party.

the other uncles and aunties heard it and they were in awe. so then, after the table has been prepared, the get-together topic came to teasing you and jacob about "when do you plan to have a second child" hsksjsnsksjs

while you make excuses like you two were always busy and have a lot of things on hand so taking care of a second child would be challenging, jacob would answer it with a shrug "we could try later" or "we won't be busy after this" to which you almost spat out your watermelon juice, trying to keep an innocent smile and not to escalate this topic because THE KIDS ARE THERE OKAY?? THEY'RE INNOCENT BUT LET'S NOT MAKE THIS RATED PG 🙉

but they'd just continue teasing you like asking your little girl if she wants a brother or a sister and she answers "i want both!" and "many of them so we can play all day" and laughs echo around the dinner table 😹

then jacob whispers to your ears with a smug smile while others are entertained with your little girl "can you do that, honey? we can start later" you slap his shoulder lightly but you also retort "then we would have to take our girl to my parents' and that won't be so pleasing for mom, will it?" and he only chuckles which kinda sounds like 'I HAVE OTHER WAYS IF THAT'S THE CASE' 🤭

One more wouldn't hurt | Jacob Bae

warnings: very needy sex talking about getting pregnant again

Running your hands down Jacob’s body as he came back into bed after putting your daughter to bed after the adventure of a day inhaling the strong scent of his cologne still on his body. No words needed to be said between the both of you as the thought of having another baby was still on both of your minds ever since they all mentioned it at the party and from the reaction your daughter gave you. Jacob felt the need and desperation in your touch as you stripped him of the sweats and shirt he still had on. 

“Slow down Princess…”

You didn’t want to slow down. You have forgotten what it feels like to touch your husband with such need to be filled up with his seed to make you full with his babies once again. Throwing his shirt onto the floor kissing down his neck and down his toned body making him groan quietly. Guiding your tongue over his nipple as you palmed his clothed cock feeling him twitch underneath your touch trying to keep quiet not wanting your daughter to know what you are doing right next door to her room. 

He looked beautiful with his head thrown back letting your mouth trail down his body getting to the place he needed you the most. Locking eyes with him before you pulled down his sweats letting his cock free and Jacob gasping at the feeling of your mouth wrapped around his leaking tip. Not wasting any time you bobbed your head down further down his thick cock watching every small reaction from him getting wetter by the minute hearing his muffled moans. Jacob’s chest rhythmically moved up and down as gasped for air as the pleasure was starting to get too much for him watching you take his cock deeper, holding your hair away from your face never breaking eye contact with him.

“Baby I need you so much, need to fill your pussy”

Letting his cock fall out of your mouth before he cums too premature and all that cum that could have been inside of you is wasted. You could feel the arousal dripping down your thighs seeing the mess that he was in begging to get you pregnant once again. Switching places with Jacob laying down on the bed looking at him lovingly as he places a pillow under your hips propping you up.

“Just tell me if you need anything baby, okay”

Jacob’s soft kisses distract you from his cock rubbing up and down your pussy lips covering his cock in your dripping arousal. You have been aching for him since the party and the mention of having more than one kid with Jacob who you loved more than anything. Life has been great raising your daughter but you have always wanted more than one kid ever since you first started dating Jacob and he knew that and now your dream is in the making…

You can’t help but moan when Jacob enters you, his thick cock stretching you out but you loved how full he made you feel. Pulling Jacob close to you as he started to move inside of you feeling the skin on skin making the moment more intimate feeling him smile against your neck holding back loud moans from you as your cunt was squeezing him tight. Panting heavily into the crook of your neck as he moved faster slapping his hips against yours wanting to moan so bad. 

The bedfame rocked against the wall behind you the deeper Jacob fucks you chasing the highs you both want and need. He fell in love with the sight in front of him, you laying there with your eyes rolled back drooling feeling his cock hit your gummy spot inside of you rubbing the tip of his cock against it falling in love with the way you reacted. You didn’t care how desperate you looked, you just needed Jacob to cover your walls with his thick white seed.

“Doing so well for me baby, can’t wait to see you filled with my cum again”

He has never forgotten the days of you carrying your now five year old daughter missing talking to your growing bump till the early hours of the morning telling them about the adventures they will have when they are born. Jacob ached to have another mini version of one of you both. He ached to have the excitement to go to the doctors appointments and get to hear the heartbeat for the first time and then holding the baby for the first time feeling the rush of emotions.

Jacob was panting for air as the sweat rolled down his body the closer he got to his orgasm not caring how sloppy his thrusts are getting but he only cared about coming deep inside of you filling you up deep enough for you to carry his next baby.

"Going to look so pretty filled with my baby once again darling..."

Tears rolled down his cheeks as he came inside of you moaning right next to your ear shaking from the intensity taking over him. He looked so beautiful in your eyes letting the pleasure take over his body filling you up so deep and full with his warm seed so determined to make you a mother once again.

Your orgasm followed shortly after his as his tip still rubbed against that spot inside of you no matter how full of his cum you are. Jacob held you though the euphoria trying not to get himself hard as he seen the way your eyes rolled to the back of your head whispering all kinds of praises helping you come down from cloud nine.

"So ready to see you carry our child again..."

Softly slapping his arm still catching your breath from the orgasm he just gave you.

Yandere Losers Club Headcanons

tw; kidnapping but like...less organized and only mentioned a little bit, manipulation, violence, drugging, hypochondria, forced religion,

-he is much to his dismay like his mom

-He's like a constant nurse, even when you promise your fine! Hitting your knee on a rock hurt for sure, but its not like your going to die..well hopefully not, maybe he's right? thoughts like those will become common as he worms his worries into your mind

-He's willing to share, but only with the club, he continues to promise that its what's best for you when he gives you a prescription of Cyclobenzaprine, just enough to not give you too much serotonin syndrome, but a little extra joy is normal! Not being able to get up just means he needs to get you another prescription or eight! You trust him, dont you?

-Eventually when you try to distance yourself, all the drugs hes been giving you, all the prescriptions you now dont take will come crashing down on you. Hes not going to necessarily mock you when the kidnapping happens and you go through extreme stress and withdrawl...but this wouldn't have happened if you!-

-He gets along best with stan and mike, since all three want what's best for you

-He has his problems with, surprisingly, bev. She got you hurt once and he still hasn't completely forgiven her though he will back her up when you try and vent to him about her manipulating you

-Your overreacting! hes hurt you think she would ever spread rumors about you when she was bullied herself. shame, shame, shame on you

-Manipulation to the max, she will make you want to spend time with her. There is no other option

-She's one of the more patient of the group though, when you finally start to distance yourself she will calmly help create a plan to help bring you home. You will inevitably be back after all whether its due to drug dependency or the loser club knocking you out on your way back from a party, is up to the universe

-She wouldnt hurt you to a certain point, if she believes its for the greater good then your tough out of luck. But she prefers to just make you feel guilty and dependent

-she gets along best with stan and ben, as the other two are too scared to stop her

-Hes...trying

-Its not that he doesnt want you to not be a tad scared of him, but you make it so difficult! I mean, hes the worst at hiding his tendencies about you

-He doesnt fully get why you get bothered when he curses out your crush? What could possibly be wrong?

-Dont worry, he would never hurt you EVER. Well, not on purpose, a few scrapes on an adventure is different!

-He gets along best with mike and bill, as they both enjoy going on adventures with you as well

-Eddie and him clash sometimes, mainly just because of eddies naturally overprotective nature around you getting hurt

-Mike is a bit more gentle, hes one of the few who feels guilt about what hes doing

-Hes also very jealous of the others at times, and although hed never take it out on you..sometimes he gets clingy when he thinks you might be prefering the others over him in any capacity of the sense

-It goes without saying that he wouldn't hurt you, but he cant bring himself to rat on the others when the kidnapping happens. He locks the guilt even further back in his mind at that point and refuses to acknowledge when you call them crazy

-He gets along best with eddie and bill, all three are deeply concerned for your safety just about constantly

-Pomegranate??? When he's especially feeling in debt to god for giving you to him, he encourages you to pray! before bed...when you wake up...before eating....whenever you feel like leaving him...yknow when you should be grateful for things!

-If your not super religious he's...ok with that. Sometimes he may wish you were willing to engage with that stuff but he tries not to bring it up too much

-Besides that, hes somewhat tame. But he doesn't feel guilty

-He goes with the vibe of the group so if you do something wrong or when the kidnapping comes around and they feel you need repercussions he's not going to stand up for you but he wont be cruel to you

-He gets along well with bill and mike, theyre all pretty chill with you

-You wont know hes a yandere unless they kidnap you, he's a scrawny little guy with a stutter who is barely keeping on after georgie's death...do your really think hed ever do stuff like that?!

-You help him with his stutter, your one of the big reason he tries to overcome it when hes a bit older

-Theres not much he does besides a bit of manipulation about him feeling guilty for what happened to his brother, after all, who wouldn't feel bad for this poor guy!

-He gets along best with bev, they both like each other...and you so it works out for them to share you

[camels-pen]

Usopp using Zoro as 'live ammo' via a human sized slingshot he made specifically for this purpose and someone (Nami? Nami) being like "christ alive there's something wrong with them"

maybe Zoro likens it to being tossed by the "director" (Commodore Orlumbus). He thinks Usopp's better at shooting/throwing people though. 10/10 would be used as live ammo again. Somewhere in the background, Orlumbus' voice is heard saying "this attack wasn't meant to safely throw people, yknow" and Zoro going "doesn't matter. just throw"

after hearing about that, I'd like to think Usopp either A) gets jealous and pouts about it because Zoro's his boyfriend and shouldn't Usopp get sole Zoro-shooting-rights???, B) insists on shooting Zoro more often with a plethora of excuses about the why but the real reason being he wants to get so good at it that Zoro completely forgets that "director" guy, or C) some mix of both. multitasking king

haha and wouldn't it be funny, meeting part of the Strawhat Fleet later on, and Orlumbus being hella confused because God Usopp just. has some kind of beef with him despite them only interacting like once before they all left Dressrosa

on the flip side of that, maybe Usopp offhandedly mentions being carried around by Hack, towards the end of the conflict in Dressrosa. He's a little bit dramatic about it, because he's always dramatic, but most of what he's saying boils down to "Hack was a nice guy: he carried me around while I was hurt, made sure I was okay, and didn't seem to hate the stories I made up to pass the time. he was also very strong and probably madly in love with me" (he wasn't)

Zoro was different with jealousy than Usopp. Where Usopp would glare from a distance and generally give off "he's mine he's mine he's mine" vibes to Orlumbus, he wouldn't say any of it aloud and generally try his best to stay civil. In part, this is due to Orlumbus being huge and buff and scary, but it's also because when Usopp is jealous of someone, especially in matters of love, he's more focused on doing whatever he can to make himself better in some way. Thus the insistence on more live-ammo-Zoro in battle, so Usopp can improve his Zoro shooting skills and Zoro "won't want to go back". There's also his issues with his self-worth and respect of Zoro's freedom to choose whatever romantic partner he wants, even if that isn't Usopp anymore. His brief bouts of jealousy are usually followed up with cuddling with Zoro after because it always leads to Usopp feeling terrible and in tears wondering if Zoro was gonna break up with him. Zoro will call him an idiot and kiss his forehead and he'll be fine after a while.

Zoro was not like that. Usopp said he liked Zoro. That's the equivalent of signing a contract to spend the rest of their lives together. Anyone who tries to change Usopp's mind is the fucking enemy and he's got three blades with Hack's name on them. Out of respect for Robin, he wouldn't kill the guy, but he'd put the fear of hell in him. It would take Usopp telling the real story- about Hack mostly just being indifferent and far more focused on the crisis than whatever Usopp had been nervously rambling about during their time running around- to get him to promise not to fight Hack on sight. Zoro would definitely still size him up if they see him again though.

...or, at least that's what Usopp expected to happen, based on all those romance books Robin showed him. He was looking forward to it a little. Just a little though.

In reality, Zoro quietly listened to Usopp talk about his adventures with Robin and the tontatta and curled around Usopp like big teddy bear. He squeezed Usopp a little tighter, bring him further into his lap, when Usopp talked about how he got certain injuries or eating the tatababasco, but otherwise he seemed rather content. Zoro didn't bat an eye at Usopp's exaggerated stories with Hack except to say that Hack had good taste in men. Usopp got extremely flustered after that and completely loses his train of thought and where he was in his storytelling. He attempted to steal the rest of the booze in Zoro's mug as revenge. Zoro lets him and then repeats the last thing Usopp said to remind him where he stopped in his retelling of his adventure.

Not to be overly morbid, but do yall ever think about suicide in prythian? Personally, i think killing yourself would be pretty common. I mean, it has to be given how few old people seem to exist in this world even though fae (or atleast high-fae) seem to insanely powerful and difficult to kill

And I dont think its because living in prythian sucks THAT much or even because being immortal is THAT bad, i mean arguably the biggest issue with immortality would be to watch all your loved ones die and thats not something that sjm's fae have to deal with. I think its moreso a thing of people just kinda getting tired of living after a few centuries and being like "welp. ive experienced pretty much everything, time to explore the world beyond" yknow. Thats why I think Velaris would have a pretty high suicide rate, because if youre stuck in a city thats presumably completely stagnant and never changes because its already perfect, youre going to run out of new enjoyable things to do wayyyy more quickly and get tired of your existence. It would also explain how this city full of immortals that can never leave but can reproduce hasnt already collapsed under the weight of overpopulation after over 5000 years

One idea that i like because it could make for some poignant commentary is that suicide rates are really high among faeries because theyre a lot more likely to live in poverty and its really hard to escape poverty and its really fucking miserable so after a few decades most of them decide they dont wanna live like that, and its gotten to the point where the high fae think they just naturally have shorter lifespans for some biological reason when they can actually live just as long as high fae, its just that they take poison or some shit to die in their sleep or something idk. Maybe thats a little very dark for acotar, but then again, sjm is constantly throwing around domestic violence and abuse and rape in this series so

I think suicide rates among high lords would be pretty high as well because I imagine their lives are pretty monotonous and tiring because of their responsibilities and because its not like they can leave prythian for an extended period of time to experience some new things or have some fun adventures, theyre tied to their court geographically. And god, can you imagine what would happen if theres a crisis. Yknow how a while ago the UK went through like 5 prime ministers in two weeks because of some bullshit that was happening? Imagine that but its just all these newly-chosen high lords killing themselves because they cant handle their court for some reason. I actually have a theory that thats what happened in the night court because theres this weird little throaway line where they say like, Mor's family used to be the ruling family but then the highlord power somehow got transferred to Rhys' family and its been driving me insane because WHAT do mean by that??? So basically, I think there was a time when Mor's highlord-chosen ancestors kept killing themselves for one reason or another, none of them wanted to be highlord and the magic of the land kept reaching out further and further until it landed on like, Rhysand's great-granddad who was only distantly related to Mor's ancestors and the ruling line just continued from there

Anyway, Id like to end this post on a more positive note and talk about the demographic that I think is the least likely to kill themselves, and thats the youngest children of noble families with multiple children. As ive said, im mostly basing this off of any given fae's ability to have a lot of new experiences to keep their lives from becoming monotonous and tiresome (combined with their material circumstances) and I think the youngest children of nobles hit the sweet spot of being pretty wealthy and not needing to do a lot of hard labour that would take up their time while also not being tied down by responsibilities that would force them to stay in one place. (Unless its a family of all girls and the youngest is their only son ig because as of acomaf, prythian is super patriarchal but i try not to think abt that ngl)

[buqbite]

ok so!!!! i have. so many thoughts about penacony. aventurine the man you are...... his obsession with facades and masks... his future self shit talking him.... 2.1 truly delivered. his dynamic with ratio is also so interesting.... the contrasts... aven not taking care of himself at all vs ratio the self care king........

there's so much unexplored potential for a friendship between acheron and aven... their similarities as people who lost everything ... how acheron works in the shadows and aventurine flaunts himself yet acheron is much more willing to be... openly vulnerable about her past? as compared to aven..... i care them both dearly anyway!!! i have many thoughts on 2.2 but i don't want to intrude or make this too long ajshldfkjasdjf but yes!!!! im having a good time so far (though i'm kinda fed up with the sunday boss fight) and !!!! looking forward to meeting aven again (myriad celestia trailer!) + seeing what other adventures the astral express goes on...

I FORGOT TO REPLY SORRY

aventurine is just such a fun guy. i become attached to characters who try to sell a specific image of themselves pretty much immediately, because the gradual detachment from their own identity and struggle to properly connect with others is always a delight to see. and aven does it so well! he's completely out of touch with himself - kakavasha and aventurine are practically different people by now.

i care deeply about depictions of cptsd in media, particularly when they acknowledge that it really isnt just depression + anxiety + flashback induced panic attacks in a spot the person you ship them with can conveniently find them in and calm them down. such a big part of it is the way it can completely fuck up your self-concept and worldview cuz yknow. your brain structure is altered. it's the key factor in that disconnect that i just talked about. and that constant sense of impending doom and emptiness are a part of that, which often leads to stupidly reckless behavior. i don't even need to bring up aven's whole gambling thing here, do i?

(also please do note that, as i wrote this bit, welt was even further on the forefront of my mind than he usually is. because of course he would be)

him and ratio are also a fun match, because ratio does not care for the way aventurine flaunts himself (to pretend he has his shit together) in the slightest. he'd do a good job at getting aven to just... slow down, and wouldn't allow their relationship to develop into something unhealthy either.

(its one of the reasons i like avenpaz + ratio, bc aven and topaz on their own would most certainly enable each other's bad habits. they have a bit too much in common in that regard.)

AND ACHERON. ACHERON...

miss raiden bosenmori mei i love you so damn much. she does the "oh, i'm doomed? my struggle was meaningless? well if nothing matters then i will do what i want" thing so well, and every dynamic she has with the other characters is fascinating to me.

one really big thing to consider is that, since acheron's whole backstory is essentially the bad ending of honkai impact 3rd, she's already seen all of this dreamscape shit. she's been living in the waking world for a long time now. in the quest "when the sacred ginmill closes," her and welt talk about kevin kaslana, someone who used his last resort to try and save humanity from the uphill battle against the honkai and plunge all of humanity into a dreamscape (etc), robbing it of its future.

a big part of hi3 is the direness of the situation, and the way people push themselves to go further and further in hopes of reaching this unattainable peace. it's an absolutely sisyphian task. and acheron let go - she defeated her version of kevin (why would you name him that) and let her homeworld be enveloped by the nihility.

so acheron's been there. she lost the people she loved, struggled against a meaningless end and was changed so irreversibly that she's not even human anymore. and there's a lot of potential for her to properly guide aventurine out of the nihility (i mean that's kind of her job?) and onto a path that's a lot more meaningful to him.

also, i'm saving a lot of my acheron thoughts for when i actually finish hi3, but there's a few dynamics that i could pick apart and think about forever. my favorites being aventurine and his whole (gestures at this post) stuff, black swan as someone whose whole being consists of memories while acheron perpetually erases them, welt as someone who shares the same experiences and black hole related powers, and firefly, who exists in the moment because she can't dream in the first place, and chooses to fight against the inevitable without being afraid of it.

...also also also i fucking love black holes and i love how it's connected to sun imagery and i think the idea of icarus reaching the sun only to discover a hopeless abyss beyond it is my favorite hsr symbolism thing ever. black holes are like THE thing to show hopelessness and meaninglessness and emptiness and a point of no return, because they devour everything and leave nothing. we don't truly know what lies within a black hole!! we might never find out!!! there are so many suns out there that will end up as black holes but we can appreciate their beauty nonetheless, can't we??? ive never seen a character with black hole (or sun) imagery that didn't fuck severely. a person who will figuratively consume you in your entirety if you get too close. they can't even help it. it gets me every single fucking time. can you guys tell that interstellar changed my brain chemistry when i first watched it as a kid. i need to punch a wall

Good evening homies

Its almost 5am

Have I finished my sunflower bag? No but I’m kinda close. I just have to sew shit on and I’m done but the problem is sewing SUCKS ASS so I’m lollygagging.

So I’m starting a new project. And getting incredibly ambitious about it. Possibly combining several patterns into one creation that’ll either be a monstrosity or the best creation known to mankind.

A green hooded cloak

Made of dragonfly stitches

With pockets

The test/video tutorial follow along is going pretty well (the dragonflies are offset so the holes at the top are the next dragonfly heads)

Also an added note. I have further edits to make to the sunflower bag pattern doc but I WILL post the finished product photos and reshare the doc as well. I don’t feel right sticking it on Ravelry because its 80% someone else’s pattern with some changes and another pattern added in but yknow. I also just. Don’t have a ravelry account.

Feast your eyes, its the pieces of the bag but not sewn together

I made the bag like way more than 16 rows tall maybe even 20 rows tall because uhhhh I forgot that crochet stretches so uh. Yknow. It fits an ipad now but its gonna stretch like hell. Oh well.

Its 5am I am going to shut up now but I will keep you posted on my Crochet Adventures

Yknow Ive thought about it and while Kaiden and Taliesin would NEVER get along, I do think they're both actually really similar. Like, right from the outset they start their adventures with the DB because they feel a debt to them for saving their lives. They both have a sense of honor and even respect towards individuals they feel meet their standards but can be prickly or downright rude to people who don't meet those standards. Loyalty, hard work, and even honesty are virtues they both highly value. They also both develop a dragonborn shaped soft spot in their hearts and would follow the DB to hell and back again and are 100% ride or die with you all the way.

I dunno I just think its neat how they both share traits but from completely opposite direction and have enough differences between the to really highlight the contrast (despite taliesins history with the thalmor he still values and is loyal to the aldemeri people and to an extent still shares their values while Kaiden is completely disconnected from his culture/history and so has more or less adopted the culture of the nords as something to respect, etc)

Sometimes I like to think Taliesin and Kaidan do have their similarities, but their stance on other sides of the coin does cause some conflicts. Kaidan being raised as a Nord and understanding their culture better than his Akaviri side, and Taliesin with his loyalties to his Altmeri heritage and culture, but still having that stigma of being aligned with the Thalmor for over 100 years. Yeah, I see these two butting heads a lot.

Just like a traditional Nord and traditional Altmer would.

Taliesin isn't going to apologize for Kaidan's scars, and Kaidan probably isn't going to trust Taliesin due to his history with the Thalmor.

The player/Dragonborn would be the glue that keeps the party together despite these conflicts. And some things can only be conveyed through battle.

Yes, Taliesin would respect Kaidan for his strength and loyalties, protecting the Dragonborn would be the catalyst for spawning that through in Taliesin's mind. Taliesin would sympathize with Kaidan's want and desire to further his education. And he would never use the death of his mother as a means to upset Kaidan. A bit of a silent understanding that I think only Kaidan and Taliesin would share.

But there's still that stigma the two share. Maybe they may never become friends, or maybe this tension is just their own language to mend the bridge to becoming something that may resemble a friendship or just and understanding between the two.

There's a lot to be explored. It's a shame we may not find out with Liv as the writer for Kaidan.

Something open to interpretation to those who have a better understanding to what makes Kaidan tic.

brainrot????,,?

Okay, what the fuck brain?

Spelling errors cuz i dont wanna forget this so my phone is being aggressively typed on

So basically: Hylia and Demise are both like. Shits deep in fighting? Like. Hylia is protecting the ppls and everyone, and Demise is like. Nono, lets reset the world!!! Have a little fun, create monsters and kill everyone to reset humanity!!! And just, he wants a lil bloodshed(who doesnt??? yknow???) And like. At first it was a joke, but he’s physically loosing himself to the power and want to harm, and hes. Used to be friends with Hylia??? And now. hes loosing his mind and can no longer control himself!!! And Hylia, trying her best, is also not strong enough to fend off his hate and want fir such evil desires, and shes loosing. yknow?

She raises the remaining people to the skyloft shit, and like. save yourselves!!!! And now too weak from protecting them- She uses the last strength, stabs demise in the heart, and like. Seals him away. And as her last moments are coming, she also, slips into a seal of her own. Staying hidden until she can tell demise is getting close to getting out. Soooo she reincarnates herself to zel, like. Maybe that child will be able to fend off demise when he comes back!!! and like, preparing to help and try to keep the world and people she loves alive!

But.

Then theres fierce. And he was left behind and hes like. oh god oh fuck. cuz like, his sisters dead, the person he friended first is insane and going to come back and he himself. is getting. angry. 

Using part of his soul, he creates. The heros spirit, and, Link. Like. He was not risking shit. He was making sure, using his own powers and shit- That Demise was never going to be able to win ever again. 

Then. Like, the reincarnation cycle was started, and Fierce slipped in his own magic when he found it, making sure Link would always be strong enough and always be better. 

Like. say, the gameovers? And shit? That comes from playing loz what if like. he made that real? He made it that time would rewind and keep Link alive. Like in no fucking way would Link fail unless the timeline demanded of it.

So, when Hylia (after Sun? passed) came back to the heavens and shit to continue being a god. She found. Her brother. Loosing his mind to hate and anger. Like his thoughts about Demise were shitty, and he would sometimes reflect it on accident to others. 

So maybe, around, Four’s adventure. Hylia was trying to ignore it. But her brither was. Loosing himself even more. His fighting style is so violent and hateful, and like. hes iverly protective of her and just constantly loosing himself. to the point that. he just. broke. into further madness towards humanity towards monsters…. And Hylia was like, shit- whats happening to you? Whats happening to my brother? Fierce???? And. Literally. She was trying to get him through it, and help him.

Yet! In a sudden moment of awareness, he realized how insane he was sounding, and found a mask. To. Seal himself in. Isolating and definetly fucking him up more as he was just boiling and isolated with his kwn rage. And for. Like. The mask and himself, only started calming down at Wilds world(before calamity) Like, he started become more passive and calm, and just gain some sense of control, enough that he allowed himself to be unsealed by Hylia, and finally be free and just. Allow her to help.

Also like. He now. Watches over, and helps? With? The hero spirit and just watches over during wild’s adventure and like. Lends his strength in the mask, but aince he isnt there. It helps with strength. But it doesnt hold him anymore so he doesnt just take control of persons mind like what happened w Time

and then with lu- like- Theres 2 presences of fierce? Its his hateful and crazy self, and more relaxed and reformed version with Wild and like. GUAH. FUNKY BRAIN????

Can anyone tell beforehand this was a creation of random daydreaming uncontrollably,,,,,,,

The thing is as a DC comics fan I am not hard to please. Birds of Prey and Spirit World both took characters I love, characters I like under specific circumstances, and brand new characters to me, mixed it all together, and created comic book issues that I can greatly enjoy. Sure sometimes I might think a scene could have been a little better but overall I am delighted by the content. I love these characters, I love seeing them interact.

Considering Cass is my number one blorbo, Batman and batfamily content should not be so frustrating to read right now. Fucking Wayne Family Adventures should not be the only batfam book that I can actually enjoy right now. But every time Cass interacts with Batman or Batboy content I have to brace myself for the writer to turn her into a cardboard cutout who might as well be a blank character with "batkid number 4" written on her.

The latest Batman issue takes it even further by making not just Cass but all the batkids into blank one note characters. You can't market Gotham War as a split between the batfamily and then only care about writing Bruce. He acts like an asshole, threatens to throw Tim in jail, suggests killing Jason, and then gets to beat up random batkids one through six. Why am I supposed to care about this batfamily split when the writer so clearly doesn't care about anyone but Bruce. Where is the tension if Bruce is such a batgod that he can just take out all his opponents in 5 seconds. What is the point of including these characters in the event when Cass, Dick, Steph and Duke could have easily been replaced by four random civilians and nothing of value would have been lost from the narrative.

The bar isn't on the floor but it's not exactly in space either. You don't have to make my faves the center of attention but if you're going to use them to market your comic and attract fans then you should probably yknow. Actually use them in your story. Make us glad they're there instead of miserable they have to be associated with garbage writing.

what's the hand drama?

now this is me really going off my memory as it was probably at least a year ago that i saw this all, i looked to see if i had any screenshots of it and i don’t (and it wasn’t like. any HUGE drama or anything. but there were definitely like a good dozen+ comments about people speculating iirc)

i first saw this ^ this image (which is my previous queued post) on live journal in my adventures poking around there, when the image was like first published or whatev. and i remember sooooo many comments on the post being like “WHOSE HAND IS THAT.” and there certainly was a fair share of scrutinizing the image and theorizing. the appropriate conclusion in my mind at least is that it’s marie’s hand (cuz…yeah? if not i’d imagine it’s likely someone close to them, ashlee perhaps). but i remember seeing that some people were dismissive that it could be marie’s hand, because marie apparently has “chubbier fingers” and these are too long and dainty (but like…we can’t even really see the person’s fingers??? just the thumb??? idk tho). and if i remember correctly i think people making that conclusion led further to like theorizing about joe and marie breaking up. which is funny to me given the fact that, though i’m not sure the exact date of this photo (to me it looks like 2008, and i think i see pw wedding ring so it has to be No earlier than may 2008), marie and joe got engaged probably only months after this photo since they got engaged in october 2008. so people were worried for basically no reason, only months (or shorter) before they got engaged? lol. and i guess also even if it’s in fact not marie’s hand there was still no real reason to worry but yknow hindsight is 20/20 or whatever

[lowpolyshadow]

okok Okay the neutral endings are incredibly fucked up and insane but also theyre super not canon (bc despite shth’s attempts to be a choose your own adventure, theres a canon ending which yknow. defeats the purpose. but technically they havent Confirmed the canon route either so the more popular theories involve some of the neutral ends anyways ANYWAYS)

the actual reason for his rewrite as awkward as it is nowadays is bc in shth(2005)’s the last way it reveals that the whole point of the game was that in the end the true path shadow decides to take is “fuck it we ball” and he decides fuck black doom, the past is in the past and hes moving on from all this bullshit of being gerald’s pawn and gun’s weapon and even a little bit of maria’s hope to be Just Shadow and he will keep his promise to maria while also finally endeavoring to live life as his own self and this is why hes so superior in sonic 06 bc he

anyways so like. the neutral endings or rlly any ending that isnt the last way is more of further character study on Why Shadow Is Like This slash u know the alternate reality where he only finds out about (x) part of his creation but not (y) (which is why the theorized pathing involves multiple routes bc thats the only way he actually reaches the last way, with all the pieces of his past and all the acceptance of himself and with that acceptance, the means to let himself let go of it) AND THIS IS WHY HES SO SUPERIOR IN 06 BECAUSE H

i really do want a season 2 cause honestly i hate the phrase "its wrapped up well enough that i dont see where a season 2 could go" because if youre good enough at writing you can take any story further

hell even if a show has bad writing they could probably still take any story further if they try hard enough its just that itll be.. yknow.. bad

but the writers are good a writing and adventure time itself has so much potential already for exploration that honestly i wouldnt be mad if the show became a way for the writers to write other stories outside of fionna and cake themselves like distant lands was, specifically itd be cool if it became a show exploring all of the other universes that we havent seen (and yknow who would complain about more simon lol)

idk this might be a stupid/bad opinion but still its just how i feel

[fruitsoups]

hello friends

ok well for those of you who tuned in to last week's episode, in which we met Aprakas, the level 10 True Kin Child of the Wheel (a woman in possession of two axes and a bad attitude) i'm afraid i have some unfortunate news. Yeah, in the noble pursuit of dismembering everything in sight, she may have slightly run into a scorpiock or ten and got a little bit poisoned to death. also i was playing in classic mode, ie permadeath, so umm bye Aprakas thanx 4 the memories rip in peace

ANYWAY meet Syyuwar (who is naming the children in this family? someone needs to have a word honestly)..

Born under a bad moon, Syyuwar (I think her friends would probably call her Syyu -pronounced Shoe- if she had any) has been "blessed" with a remarkable resistance to psychic attack and an extremely unstable genome.

Syyu is Aprakas' granddaughter and has set out for Qud to discover the fate of her reverend forebear. She's wearing a robe, her hair is shaved close to her skull, and she's the type of girl to get a nosebleed (eyebleed? perhaps) when telepathically frying her enemies' brains (she has a lot of enemies. In fact the default state of most creatures she meets appears to be "enemy". What can I say? she takes after her dear grandma). think goth Eleven, or harrowhark nonagesimus kinda vibe. like if a half-drowned rat could walk and talk and set you on fire by looking at you funny. Syyu is a little meow-meow of extremely dubious morality

here is Syuu on a fine Qud morning taking a stroll in some desert canyons with a nice watervine farmer she -ahem- persuaded to come along to help (she's just a very persuasive half-drowned rat demon child, OKAY)

I SURE HOPE NOTHING BAD HAPPENS TO HER (in Qud? something bad happening? the very idea)

spoilers: oh dear

it looks like something bad happened to her. maybe she's more of a Ianthe than a Harrow after all..

i mean, maybe we can find someone to sew it back on again, right?

well, tune in next time for further adventures of Shoe in the

Caves of Qud

until thennnn~~~live n drink friendos :3

[editors note: we're playing roleplay mode now so canonically speaking, if anything really bad happens to her (ie worse than having her arm cut off by a snapjaw skullsplitter) then she's gonna be waking up in the nearest village with an even worse headache than usual but otherwise, yknow, not dead]
