enjoy harry's horny bullshit i wrote today

------

Kim’s hand twitches automatically toward the key in his coat.

But it’s not there.

Because the Coupris Kineema—his sleek, immaculate motor carriage—his baby, is now, as of this morning, in evidence lockdown after The Lighthouse Island operation.

Too traceable. Too risky.

So they wait beside the curb until a familiar sputter rounds the corner -- Jean’s beater lurches to a halt in front of them. One headlight out, paint flaked to hell. The kind of car that survives through sheer spite -- but it's one of a kind.

PERCEPTION(easy success):

This particular model has a steering wheel.

ENCYCLOPEDIA(formidable success):

The Caprice 100. Not Coupris. It’s Mesque design, originally manufactured in the early 80's of the last century by a defunct transport cooperative-- known for its political neutrality and zero marketing. No slogans. No names. Just the number. One hundred. Because that’s how many were ever made.

INTERFACING:

Not anything remotely stylish.This one’s been rebuilt half a dozen times with parts from four different countries. No two dashboards alike. No official records.

ESPRIT DE CORPS:

The only reason it’s even street-legal is because the licensing officer gave up with Jean trying to pin down its origin.

CONCEPTUALIZATION:

A symbol of stubborn utility in a world that romanticizes sleek precision. It growls when it turns, smokes in the cold, and leans like a drunk in the wind.

But it runs. God, does it run.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT:

VOLITION (godly failure):

I'm weak.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY (libido strong):

Mmm. Kim Kitsuragi behind the wheel of that wheezing relic—one hand low, steering, the other lazily adjusting his sunglasses, jacket rolled up his forearms, elbow crooked just so. A sharp turn, a flash of dark eyes, and suddenly your blood’s in your throat.

YOU: Gulp...

ELECTROCHEMISTRY:

He doesn’t say much when he drives. You know why?

He’s busy feeling. You’d sit shotgun just to feel the jolt of his choices in your spine. You’d let him shift gears with your heart if he asked. Parallel park you. Strip your dignity like a clutch gone hot.

AUTHORITY(medium failure):

I do actually like the sound of that.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY:

Just say it. You want to be that gearshift.

YOU:

I want to be that gearshift.

INLAND EMPIRE:

You could watch him shift gears all day. Even if it means death by exhaust fumes in a dying steel coffin with no suspension.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY:

You’d die with a boner.

YOU:

I'd die with a boner.

And then—Christ—Harry does the face.

The other one; the one where his eyebrows go slack and his mouth opens just a little, like he's just seen God cruising in low gear. He doesn't even notice he's doing it until Kim glances over—just a flick of his eyes—and one brow lifts. Barely. But enough.

He knows.

Harry looks away. Wipes his mouth with the back of his hand like that might erase the expression.

AUTHORITY(epic failure):

Good job. Now mutter something incoherent. Fuck.

COMPOSURE:

Pull it together, you absolute walking sausage.

Jean, blessedly oblivious, leans out the driver’s side window of the Caprice, chewing something that may have once been gum.

“She’s all yours, princesses. Don’t grind third. It bites.”

Harry recovers—barely. Grin sharp, voice steady:

“She’s beautiful, Vicquemare.”

Jean flicks a middle finger in his general direction. “She’s older than both of you put together. Treat her right.”

heres most of my saw characters in tomodachi life so far :p

[rox-of-iu]

also while we're on the topic of fics

[delicateartisantrash]

Okay so drawings are gonna be a little slower

dang it 🥺

6+ years and it's finally cracked. Already have it taped, I've got about 1/4th screen totally perfect and half with minimal obstruction, and then the absolutely fucked corner. I should be able to make this still work with my art programs though, the buttons are on the left and top mostly.

My cats are so lucky they're cute. Gizmo hopped on my lap while i had my stuff on said lap and knocked it off onto concrete. Sigh.

Every Dredge Aberration (2024), Part 6

Decaying Blackmouth

Encyclopedia #136

Aberrant form of blackmouth salmon

Description:

A shimmering blackness permeates the flesh of this relentless fish. Muscles atrophied and decaying, but still it swims on.

Comment: I does me no pleasure to admit that this species was a particularly underwhelming discovery. Were this found in freshwater, literally nothing would even be amiss. Elaboration on that bit.

How to catch: Can be netted, but is also fairly easy to find with a little prodding about the Gale coasts. Expect to find them during the day.

Sprouting Eel

Encyclopedia #137

Aberrant form of cougar eel

Description:

An eruption of crystalline growths burst from its skin. Sharp shapes clatter and resonate together.

Comment: Now this creature... this is a true beauty of the Deep. Likely suffering, anomalous, but undoubtedly beautiful. It is rightful that a good-sized individual will fetch a fine dollar on the market.

How to catch: Before atrophy, I found this one to be a little tricky to bag. A preference for the narrow cliff passageways and its nocturnal nature already makes the cougar eel a risky quarry to seek. Additionally, it cannot be caught with a trawl net. Keep an ear up around those rock walls, lest you be caught unawares by a much larger stone eel. Lingers in shallow water.

Withered Ray

Encyclopedia #138

Aberrant form of devil ray

Description:

Rotten webbing spans the wings of this large ray. Sinews stretch and snap as it thrashes in futility.

Comment: An utterly infernal sight that likely makes for a pungent aroma. To its last breath, it flutters for the wind and waters, like the flag of the ship that is lost to the maelstrom.

How to catch: Though having a slightly higher base value than the sprouting eel, surprisingly, this ray is worth less than the former proportiona to how much inventory space it takes up. That coupled with the observation that it's an oceanic fish, only seen at night, does not make fishing for manta rays a recommended side venture for the easily panicked. If you seek money at this stage ir the story over completing the encyclopedia, you may be better to stick to wreckfish, sturgeons, or even the eels. An upgraded trawl net can handle them, but you will probably have access to bait by such a point when you’ll feel like using one.

Translucent Sturgeon

Description:

The simple clockwork mechanisms of life laid bare as a tenuous, skeletal existence.

Comment: And not only that, but in such a gorgeously prismatic fashion! At least, if the art is suggesting what I think it may. I believe this sturgeon has made itself quite clear :].

How to catch: Cast or Trawl in oceanic territory around the Gale Cliffs, during the day.

Shattered Wreckfish

Encyclopedia #140

Aberrant form of wreckfish

Description:

A cracked husk of scaly plates sliding atop pulsing miscoloured flesh.

Comment: Peeling wonderfully, I see. A boiled egg of a fish, huh? At least what I can view are very pretty colors beginning their molt. It's not every day the fishmonger is brought wares capable of descaling themselves.

How to catch: A daytime, shallow-swimmer that can only be caught by rod. Living true to their name, they are best sought out directly above the many shipwrecks around the Gale Cliffs. Due to this, their harvesting spots are usually alongside dredging opputunities.

Bony Wreckfish

Encyclopedia #141

Aberrant form of wreckfish

Description:

Encased in bony protrusions and struggling to move its encumbered fins. Its gills are almost sealed shut by the growths.

Comment: Fascinatingly, it has fallen victim to an ailment almost exactly opposite of what has happened to the previous fish.

How to catch: ^^^
