Happy @cr-aspec-fest Week 3!

This week's prompt is Unconventional Relationships and my dear wizards have much to say about that :3

I'll have a short addendum to this for Week 4!

Mirabelle - Face to Face with a New Fate

Go check out this piece in the @ourtimeinthestars zine!

i think it's so funny that with the way the footnote that introduced the word t'hy'la is written it was clearly attempting to politely address and refute the kirk/spock ship but instead proceeded to become a focal point for shippers. gene roddenberry sweating at night for people to understand it's a close male friendship but not come off as homophobic and he accidentally made it more gay. real shit idc.

we need to talk about the end of this case because what

The fact that the new formatting update now displays the name of - and directly links to - the account behind any post made on this blog means that when I do a big dramatic secret identity reveal it's just going to have to be a surprise to the mobile users and the mobile users only

Inspired by this un-cheated Cheated from @/itsonlypolite and by my un-broken Broken, I started to think about what would un-cold Cold look like (it was also a suggestion from @/neverpathia)

Specifically, I imagined how much Cold would change, wither and, quite literally, grow colder as the Narrator shoves the Long Quiet into the Good Ending. It was a fun exercise to see if I could figure out what Cold would look like before he gets traumatized by the eternity of nothingness and boredom. His frame gets thinner, his feathers get longer and more tattered, and his expression gets more and more done with everything :]

...and then this snowballed! And I started thinking about Paranoid, too:

...not that different from how I normally draw him, except he's got actual eyes! What happened to them?

...the Nightmare happened :]

(This was supposed to be a quick brush test, but then surprise! I really wanted to draw the moment his eyes "break" and turn into the static-y mess they are normally. Also pre-Nightmare Paranoid doesn't need gloves, too! It's only after the Long Quiet's body gets thoroughly paralyzed by Nightmare that he needs them as a sensory item, if that makes sense... I've got a lot of Paranoid HCs-)

Me at work: I should make a biteability tier list for the Dragon Age characters

Dragon Age characters ranked by how biteable they are

Criteria under the cut

Firstly this is assuming that either the bitee has agreed to be bitten, or that the bite is happening during a brawl or whatever idk don’t look at me

Secondly this is not about how much I want to bite them (otherwise Harding would also be S-tier).

Cleanliness: Pretty self-explanatory. Extremely important to me.

Tolerance: How hard can I bite them

Mouthfeel: Also self-explanatory

Repercussions: What is gonna happen to me as a result?

Auuhg okay I'm caving and posting these

Very shortly after I made This Piece my brain took it and ran with it into an entire AU! I wanted to make a kind of introduction post to the concept, but I think I know myself well enough to know that waiting will just end in my never doing it lol So I'll just talk about it here!

This AU is based around the idea that instead of using void to defeat the Radiance, the king's plan was instead to raise an army of godlings. Not empty vessels meant to contain her, but vessels of holy light meant to literally outshine her.

They're a little different biologically of course. They are perfect unions of godly power unmarred by void. They look more like you'd expect and behave more like you'd expect; they speak, they feel, they have a will of their own. They share both their parents incandescence. They're a bit strange, most of them seeming aloof or detached, like their minds are always somewhere else. It’s thought amongst castle staff that the godly light within them gives them access to a higher plane of thought, one that’s far more intriguing to them than any mortal woes.

They also seem to have inherited a particular, special ability from their father(which is a special tool we'll use later!)

This the first vessel of the army, the firstborn of the royal family. With the sheer number of vessels born, the king gave up on naming them all, but holding this hatchling in his hands, he knew that this child would be Worthwhile. Also known as Worthy, Double, or much to their dismay, Father's Favorite. They know well their purpose and they are proud to lead their siblings as their commander.

Honestly my story for this AU centers a little more around Ghost and Hornet, but I have a lot of THOUGHTS and FEELINGS about all the other vessels as they grew up and I want to explore it more! I do have more art and MUCH more lore but I'll save it for later posts.

I'll be tagging everything about it as the "Outshine AU" as I work with it!
