Paparazzi Encounter 📸

→ Akira 🍁 BakuTodo Love Child

[write-it-motherfuckers]

Everything went as well as could be expected yesterday, Darlings. Both the kids, mama, and the grandma are all safe and together. The shitty ex is in custody and given what little I know, I doubt that's going to be changing for a very long time.

Unfortunately, as a few of you suspected would happen, things did end up taking considerably longer than expected yesterday, and I am currently feeling very mentally and emotionally drained. For now I think it would be best that I just try to recharge today, and get back to working on this tumblr tomorrow, when I'm not so quick to get overwhelmed.

Thank you for the understanding and support, Darling ones. I hope you're all doing well 🖤

I haven't known how to exactly phrase this so I've held off, though I'd like to try now! The Lights Off AU brings me some sort of.. Strange comfort? Strange reassurance? About the whole "Hey yeah, everything you know is not real, actually!" Which, at least for us, as a DID System is just.. the norm? False memories of a media or a very obviously different 'world' are something that are just in our head. (Not delusions, we are aware they are fabricated. But we're also aware that they felt real to us.) So to have a piece of media where people also go through that, being a system or not? It's... Strangely comforting to know that you aren't the only person on the world who could feel that way, even if it's just a fictional story. I hope none of this is weird or too strange! I'm not sure how much/if you know about DID (not to mention the stigma) so I'd rather try to explain the more confusing terms as short as I can. There's a lot more I could say as well, but I don't want this to drag on too much or be too complex about this explaination. I hope you're doing well for yourself Bog! :]

sorry it took me so long to get to this! longer asks need more thought and time and energy, and i admit it got a little Buried under other asks!

i know a bit about DID - not nearly enough to say that i know what I'm talking about, but i've made sure to do research to better understand it!

but anyway i'm glad i could give that to you, even in a small way! that's the whole purpose of fiction, i think - to bring people comfort and catharsis and validation through viewing the self in the other, however unintentional it may be! i hope this silly little au continues to provide that - and i hope that if i ever write a fic for it, it does the experience justice <3

the other day i was looking through the drawings on my old laptop and found this self-portrait art challenge thing i did at some point several years ago, so i thought it would be interesting to update it with my current self for old times' sake :-) i don't know why i felt the need to be so mean to myself in all the descriptions but i have tried to be at least slightly nicer this time around. sorry past me [id under cut]

[id: a series of four full-body digital drawings of a pale-skinned person at different ages. the first three depict me in 2007, 2013, and 2017 under the heading 'George'; the fourth, in a different art style, depicts me in 2023 under the heading 'Ned (I changed my name)'.

the first drawing shows a young child with long hair wearing a fluffy pink jumper, a pink skirt, and pink shoes. bullet points above read:

annoying

copies other people constantly

draws cute animals

arrogant

cries when told off

maybe 1 friend

the second drawing shows a young teenager wearing a hoodie and trainers and looking uncomfortable. bullet points above read:

anxious

listens to Simon and Garfunkel exclusively

bad under pressure

anime

writes bad fanfiction

draws bad fanart

the third drawing shows a smiling teenager wearing a plaid shirt, jeans, and brown boots. bullet points above read:

what the HELL is a Self Esteem

really into 60s music

cries a lot

0 fashion sense

usually dissociating

thinkin about trees

the fourth drawing shows a young man with messy brown hair, a striped brown shirt, a beige woollen tank top, and burgundy plaid trousers; he is leaning on a wood-textured folding cane and holding the strap of a brown leather satchel with his other hand. bullet points above read:

still no self-esteem but medicated now

significantly worse handwriting (wrist knackered)

I haven't changed much to be honest

RBF so severe I get followed around by the security guards at the supermarket

autism

back to your (ir)regularly-scheduled 0509 silliness :))) I love them very much

Please please please tell about various shenanigans the shadow demon has committed

lol okay lemme go dig through discord for some more shenanigans I can talk about

roxy and jake have an ongoing thing where sometimes jake will surreptitiously take over and do his best to imitate dirk, and they keep track of how long it takes roxy to figure out that it's actually jake in control (obviously this is dependent on roxy not being able to see dirk's eyes, since that's a dead giveaway)

jake likes to do the thing where you tap someone's opposite shoulder so when they look you aren't there, except he's actually not anywhere. he's lurking in the shadows and just sneaks a little shadow tendril out to bop dirk's shoulder while dirk's at his desk

sometimes jake decides to have fun dressing dirk up in outfits while possessing him. this is usually at least partly a thinly-veiled attempt to get dirk into cosplay for jake's favorite movies (please imagine jake gleefully pulling out the blue body paint while dirk complains loudly in his head)

[ID: a series of picrews of my OC Bronwen. She is a slim humanoid aasimar with brown skin, ginger textured hair, and blue wings coming from her head and back. She wears gold jewelry and orange and blue clothing. In some picrews her hair is in an afro texture, whilst others it has been braided and put into buns. Her eyes are dark brown, however in some her eyes are shining white. End ID]

here she is love of my life !! She is a protector aasimar cleric, and her patron's Lathander the god of birth and renewal, and is associated with the dawn.

Bronwen has spent her whole life living in the Monastery of the Sun, which has given her a good understanding of family, love and monastic life but not much else. The order is very old, and have traded deities over time, however there are a small number who still believe in the old ways, and that the new current gods are just aspects of the old ones. Bronwen's learnt in her travels to not mention her connections too heavily, and a few lies by omission serve her much kinder than the truth. She tries to keep her aasimar race private too, however her feathered ears don't help much.

Her faith to Lathander (and a few others) is unwavering, and she tries to use her healing knowledge and powers to help as many as possible. Whilst not much of a fighter, she's trained in crossbow and mace, and has a couple combat spells up her sleeve.

It was hard adjusting from a seamless monastic family to a ragtag group, and sometimes she wishes for nothing more than to return to the monastery. She's slow to open up, and would rather spend her hours talking about her god(s) than talk about herself. However she has a lot of love for the world around her, and with each dawn spent with her group she draws that bit closer to them.

1 and 9 for ask meme ?!

Sunie!!! thank you for the ask!!

Who was your first ever OC? Do you still “use” them? How have they evolved over time?

You were beaten to this ask, but HEY I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE MORE OLD INVADER ZIM OCS! Mainly because theyre the only ones i have like, actual pictures of.

would you like a lilyan? She has also been redesigned semi-recently!

9. Favourite OC?

oUGHGHGhghGHghg... . .

Okay. So there is. For sure a VERY definite answer for this one. But its also kind of weird because-- okay so

Its gotta be frisk. But specifically Fonttale Frisk? From the au that i never wrote because KC and I kept making the AU increasingly more complicated with more AUs that branch off of it without actually. Posting anything about it anywhere.

BUT YSEE. THEYRE NOTHING LIKE CANON. ANd because i made like 100 aus, theres like. A TON of different variants of em.

Anyways if you want a version that managed to grow its own two legs n become its own thing, it would be Fumiya.

If you want a frisk thats more like. still a lil connected to fonttale? You get Major.

But the baseline fonttale frisk has a very special place in my heart. (its a hole in the ground labeled bastard)

Zeal for Zapping out ‘Z’ Words

Zoned out like a zombie from sleep deprivation, I find a haze oozing into my thoughts. Amazing dreams of dozing off, nuzzling into a cozy blanket. A fuzzy daze taking hold and a fire safely blazing while I snooze, waltzing off into a state of zen. The day whizzing by with my glazed over eyes gazing into a dazzling prize far off beyond the ozone. Seizing sights of the zodiac in the stars….

(I write as I sit in my cubicle at work, cold and desperately wanting a nap.)

So, the only way I get all ‘Z’ starting words is if I include proper names. Cheating seeing as you were able to do it all without (especially with the main damn character in all of your stuff having one), but it's what I got.

As for a new Challenge @mrsmungus : I’m just delaying the inevitable at best, so take your time - but if you would like to stick to themes, I propose finding the rainbow. (I have a toddler, colors are right there next to the alphabet.)

🌈 Your Words: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple (or if you want to get all fancy with vermilion or whatnot, substitute as you see fit 😂) 🌈

As always - Open Tag - if you feel so inclined to join in.

All excerpts came from 'Diving'. I guess I wasn't as ambitious with my 'z's when I was starting out

Zombies:

“I don’t know if you’ve played any of these or not. Just cut me off if you did! Like a wave, or something, and I'll shut up. Here. So this one has a great story. It’s like a 'choose your own adventure', almost, kind of. Less action, more split second decisions. And this one is great for working out frustration. I always enjoy a good button mash massacre on a bad day. Pixelated vengeance solves all, am I right? Now this one isn’t as exciting up front but…” Her voice trailed off as she caught a second glance at his face. “You’re not a gamer, are you?”

He tilted his head slightly, and he tried to hold back the amusement he felt.

“I could bring over some books if that's more your speed? Or shows or something. World of possibilities opened up with electricity now!”

He hadn't expected the turn of events, and felt himself enjoying the levity she exuded. Sure, she got flustered easily at times, but even when the babbling was raging strongly against her, she had an aura that made the world seem lighter and more carefree. The game was set back down on the bed, his pen clicked again, and Nick began writing under the previous message.

‘Button mash massacre?’

The second of a few cartridges was singled out and snatched up. In a quick movement, she swapped out the games and placed the device back on the bed. With a bashful smile, she moved to sit next to him, and he found himself scooting over gently to allow her more room.

“It does a world of good. Believe me. When my last external fried, and I couldn’t pull anything back… Aww man, those zombies, they didn’t stand a chance in hell. Slaughter, I tell you.”

Zero:

He was thoroughly unprepared for this fight. He wasn’t prepared for a fight at all. One minute he was hanging onto a high of unfamiliar emotions, grasping at the edge of an unknown euphoria that he didn’t think would ever be in his future anymore. And now… Now he was in another argument. Another relationship falling to complete shit right in front of his eyes.

“You’re above the grit and grime of those like him. Like me. Is that it?”

“You’re nothing like—”

All his words cut off in an instant. The lit fuse finally hit the bomb, and he was at ground zero of her explosion.

“You don’t know me! And you don’t know him! You know nothing but how to be a pretentious ass!”

With a forceful kick, a few of the fallen items scattered out of her path, and she practically ripped the door handle from its place.

“Fuck all the way off, Harold. And that’s not affectionate this time.”

Zach:

"When I was walking back, there were two men outside our rooms. I think they were looking for Lloyd, but he switched with Nick and Steph. They didn’t want to risk it and said they'd ask you for clarification later. Wasn’t an immediate concern, so I guess I just, went to sleep and forgot."

"You forgot?"

"There has been a lot going on here, you know!"

As soon as he said it, he felt it. Too harsh, too defensive. It was an old Harold reaction to a new Harold situation.

But he couldn't take it back.

"Fuck! Zach and Alex. Any fucking money…"

She stood up quickly, and started to gather up her things.

"I'm sorry… I—"

"You fucked up, Harold. Lloyd's a human. We deal in supernatural. If they're coming for him, shit is going south now. Not soon, not shortly. Now Harold. Fuck…"

Zone:

(Resisting the urge to use ‘Boulder Free Zone’. Much like Ziva for you, it feels too easy. Wrote that too many times to count. Hell, it's the name of my home wifi for fucks sake 😂)

“Can you please at least pretend you understand the urgency in this?!”

The smartass smirk graced his features again, and she turned back around with a huff. As she opened her mouth to further express her agitation, a loud buzzing cut off her train of thought while drowning out everything else around them.

"Oh fuck…. See! Urgency! Come-on, we gotta go before—"

And she didn't need to finish her statement as a metal barrier formed around the door in front of them.

Lockdown protocol went through stages by zones. Cells obviously had a top priority, with a descending order based on potential threat. Max security down to holding cells. This would make getting down to the other end of the containment area almost impossible. But they may still be able to get out on the ground floor.

"...shit… Okay, new plan. This way!"

Zeke:

“Shit! Did you say Zeke?” Perimeter sweep complete, Gwen came up to join them with concern on her face. “Motherfucker…”

Gwen wasn’t the only one to recognize the name. It didn’t surprise Hayden that this was the lowlife POS vampire that was next to sign up after Gwen destroyed their original plan. He was always a problem case they could never pin down. One she wouldn’t have had a problem watching the Institute come down hard on. He served as a prime example of why the organization began in the first place.

Nick however had no prior knowledge available, and his signed confusion was understandable.

‘Who’s that?’

“A goddamn thorn in my side that refuses to leave well enough alone. One that is not going to play nice with your friends. I… I should have taken care of the problem decades ago, but… I’m sorry. I should be dealing with him, not you.”

Bonus - Zen

(I’m a damn liar!! I did have one instance of zen. In the last section, of the last chapter. Super short because well, yeah.)

The trickle of water from the nearby fountain worked as white noise against the sounds of the Academy. Warmth from the fireplace lulled her into a state of relaxation. And extra fluffy pillows on the floor were the final touch for a true state of zen.
