#i hope to have more posts like this when my stuff is a bit more sorted out and cohesive

[nekoboydreams]

Hello (\*´▽｀)ノノ!! I've recently become obsessed with the yandere game you created! It's ignited such an uncontrollable desire in me—I can barely hold myself back! I'm absolutely dying to write a fanfiction based on *The Freak Circus*. But before that, I wanted to ask for your permission, because I truly don't want to offend or trouble you in any way...If it's okay, may I ask you a few questions?

① If Pierrot were to be voiced in the future, what do you think his voice would sound like? And what kind of tone and voice would best suit Harlequin, considering his character? Knowing this would be a huge help to my writing.

② Also, the circus food! Does it have mind-controlling, thought-distorting properties? Could it possibly amplify the eater's deepest desires, growing more intense over time until those poor souls completely lose their self-awareness—becoming obsessed with the circus and the clowns who perform for them? I also suspect the female assistant who was killed by one of Pierrot’s thrown knives might be one of the captured victims. She’s probably really dead. And what if she was actually one of the player’s missing colleagues? That would mean all those missing women in the town might be connected... OMG 🙀🙀🙀

③ Suppose the player has a strong self-destructive tendency and often keeps to themselves outside of necessary social situations. How would Pierrot react to this? Would he feel worried—or secretly delighted? And if one day the player collapses to the ground, quietly crying while clinging to Pierrot's clothes and begging him to kill them, what would he do? Especially if they said things like, “Only dying by your hand could bring me peace,” or “My darling, my savior, please kill me and eat me, so you’ll never leave me and I can finally rest.” Would Pierrot be moved?This is my first time asking, and I couldn’t help but say so much…!! I really hope I didn’t bother you 😔🤗🥰

Wow, I’m really glad to hear all this! And I’m impressed by the length of your questions, haha! Feel free to write as much as you want I’d love to see it! Now, about your questions:

About the voices: A lot of people ask me this, but since I’m not a native English speaker, I don’t have a huge repertoire of voices for them. What I can try to explain is that Pierrot would have a calm voice when talking to the MC, maybe slightly hoarse from being silent so much. When he makes those kind of disturbing statements to the MC, I imagine his voice thickens a bit. As for Harlequin, he has a sarcastic, somewhat mocking tone. His voice probably wouldn’t be that deep, although his laugh carries a dark, deep tone. Does that make sense to you? If I find voices that fit them in some content, I could do a post about it, since it’s a question that keeps coming up, haha.

About the food: You have some interesting theories. On Day 2, you’ll see Pierrot talk a bit about it. So what I can say for now is that the food can put you into a euphoric state. It gets hard for whoever eats it to think clearlythings get confusing, and you might start misinterpreting stuff. The MC feels their heart racing and isn’t sure if it’s because they likes Pierrot, for example.

Self-destructive tendencies: That opens up a lot of possible reactions for Pierrot! If he sees the MC isolating themself but they’re okay with it, then to him there’s no problem there. But if the MC isolates themself and seems to be suffering from things like that, he’d get worried and try to help, but in his own way. He’s not very social either, so his way of helping wouldn’t be very conventional. Now, about the MC asking to be devoured, that’s a complicated threshold. Pierrot isn’t the type of yandere to hurt the MC intensely, but there could be a scenario where he’d fulfill that request. It’s something very specific, so let’s just say it’s not something I can to detail right now heh.

Happy birthday Haymitch!

A little one-shot made inspired by one of my incorrect quotes.

Thank you to @hayffieee for making the art for this! It's far better than the story I wrote for it. Perhaps I will do some fixes later but I wanted to publish it today! So here it is

"Does Haymitch even like cake?".

Peeta is walking slowly behind her, holding the cake as steady as he can. The distance between their house and Haymitch's is not that long. It does however feel much further when you're holding a 6 hour project in your hands. "Come on, Katniss. Everybody likes cake."

"Do you think he has ever had a proper birthday?".

"I can't imagine he has. I wouldn't either if I had to be a mentor every year".

Katniss hopes this doesn't trigger something for him. Even before he was in the games his birthday must have been a bitter day. Katniss and Peeta used to have a classmate who's birthday on July 6th. That was bad enough. Frankly the whole week afterwards used to be a sad affair.

Peeta stops in his tracks. "What's going on Katniss?".

"I'm just worried for him. The line between relapse and sober is very thin".

"Oh fuck. I was not supposed to put whiskey in the frosting?".

Katniss chuckles, unwillingly so. She is genuinely worried boredom will force Haymitch back into alcohol.

“We should have invited Effie out”. Peeta says casually. He doesn’t look away from the cake for one second. Slowly following behind Katniss that is leading the way.

“It would have been weird if we did”.

“What do you mean by that?”. Peeta has always been Effie’s boy. He spent a few more months in the Capitol post-rebellion and spent months with her there before he was cleared to go back to 12. They must have gotten even closer during that time.

“Their relationship is kinda….”.

“Non-platonic”. Peeta adds, a smirk on his face.

“You think so? They were always fighting and bickering. At times I thought Effie would kill him in his sleep”. They did kiss goodbye though which Katniss found a bit out of character for them. But she won’t tell Peeta that. It would only back up his argument which he would be rather smug about it.

“So do people who have been married for a long time”.

Katniss doesn’t have a comeback for that. He does have a point, but the image of Haymitch and Effie together seems too bizarre for her. “We can invite her next year. Maybe your birthday. You were always her favorite after all”.

Peeta doesn’t deny it. “And you were always Haymitch’s favorite”.

Katniss knocks on Haymitch’s door. They never wait for him to open, it’s only to announce their presence. Back in the day they would usually find him drunk on the floor and it wouldn’t matter much if they knocked or not. Now that he is sober privacy might be something he wants.

It’s rather quiet once they enter which worries her. Haymitch’s doctor told her that relapse is very common within the first year. “Should we come back?”. Peeta doesn’t seem to like his own idea. He desperately wants to put the cake down even if it results in it being spoiled in the hot house.

“Let me check his cupboard first”.

“A bit rude to snoop in his stuff on his birthday?”.

“Yeah ok, but what if he is drinking again?”. Peeta places the cake on a little table standing by the door. He has had enough of carrying it around. “Today would be the day he would relapse”. He agrees.

“Thank you!”.

Haymitch’s house is very much alike theirs, but the floor plan is mirrored. Where the kitchen is in their house lies the living room in Haymitch’s. Therefore they quickly waltz into the wrong room where they find their old mentor on the couch, no shirt and a woman naked on top of him.

Katniss is so stunned that her mouth goes wide open.

Only the naked back of the woman is visible. Her blond hair is swaying back and forth. They only get to stare for a few moments, but it is enough to start wondering. Who in town has gotten a liking to Haymitch? No way Haymitch would pay someone for their "services".

"Ready for your birthday present, darling.” The Capitol accent is impossible not to recognize

“And what would that be, Miss Trinket?”.

Katniss looks at Peeta, she is stunned and clearly wants to turn in the door to leave. But Peeta on the other hand smirks at the scene in front of him. He seems to have been a few steps ahead of Katniss. His suspicion has turned out to be correct.

“Whatever you would like to do to me…”. Effie whispers sensually into his lips and with that Peeta has had enough. “Do you want us to come back later?”. Katniss swears she could kill him. They could have just walked out.

Haymitch and Effie turn to look at them. She jumps in his lap, awkwardly trying to hide her nudity from the kids. Haymitch is quick in his movements and throws his T-shirt over her head. Seems like this is not the first time someone has walked in on them.

Peeta throws out his hands. “Happy Birthday, old man! Didn’t know you had it in you!“.

“Ever heard of knocking!” Haymitch barks and lifts Effie off his lap, gently placing her in the leather couch.

“We did….”. Katniss mutters, her eyes are on the ceiling at the moment. The less she sees the better.

“I knew your house is not up to date like ours, but if you need a bigger bed, Haymitch…”.

“I’m going to kill….”. Effie gently kick Haymitch in his legs, making him cool down a bit. He takes a deep breath and tries again: “Why are you here?”.

“Celebrating your birthday! It’s the first non-reaping day! We even brought cake!”.

Katniss is so embarrassed she wishes that she could disappear into the floor. “Although I think I preferred being reaped to this”.

“Of course. That was very thoughtful”. He is suddenly very polite, like he has just graduated from Effie’s school of good manners. “If you could give us a few hours…”. He looks over his shoulder at Effie. Katniss swears she could barf from the look they share. She is soon enough halfway out the door, shouting loudly. “YOU CAN COME AND GET US THIS TIME. I am not taking any risks! Be careful with him Effie! He is an old man”.

_

It takes them several hours for them to complete Haymitch’s birthday present, just as Haymitch predicted. They need a shower too before they go and get the kids, but it can wait another 30 minutes. Post-sex-bliss is almost better than the act itself. “This is all a man needs. Good sex on his birthday”

“And you always get it, don’t you?”. Effie pampers his jawline with kisses, the sweet salt of his sweat lingering on her lips.

Haymitch chuckles. “I do. This year with no risk of getting caught….at least that is what I thought”.

´´We will be more careful next year``.

Haymitch cups her chin and whispers sensually to her: “I certainly hope I don’t have to wait until next year”.

Effie sits back up, grinding against him slowly. “Not anymore.” She runs her nails down his chest, stoping right underneath his belly button. “Though I do have to be careful with an old man”.

“If they only knew the truth!”.

“Don’t you dare tell them!´´. Haymitch throws them around in a quick movement, already eager to take her again. They giggle and laugh as they make love again on the couch.

Whiskey only crosses Haymitch’s mind once or twice that day. The first time is when they open his cake later that evening, how well whiskey would taste with it. The second time is when he thinks about how grateful he is to the Capitol, ironically enough.

They made him an addict to alcohol that almost killed him. But they also gave him a far more dangerous addiction. One he could never be sober from.

His family.

Hello Mrs Edge and Tom. I don't have an account here so I'm using my husband's. I am the "ebony goddess wife" of KC. You posted his message here a few weeks ago.

I want to echo what he said about your blog being so helpful to me (to both of us really). When he showed me this chastity stuff I was turned off by just about everything I saw and I really did not want to think about my husband as a sissy or abused or anything like that. I have read a lot of your answers to questions and I love how you have made chastity about your husband's devotion and not just some kinky sex thing. That is where I am hoping to bring our marriage. Also I am guessing it must be Tom who picks out the pictures but it really has been nice to see images of regular looking black women (and Asian, Indian, etc) and not images that look like cartoons. They help me feel more comfortable about seeing myself the way my husband sees me.

I did want to comment about the crazy changes that have been happening to me for the past few years. I go from feeling cold to getting hot flashes that make me want to tear off my clothes and not in a good way. And I don't "feel like myself" anymore. I want to be intimate with my husband but sometimes I can't even stand the thought of having sex.

I go from feeling guilty for keeping him locked to thinking that if I feel this bad then maybe he should too! lol I've read the questions from other women in "no penetration" marriages. I had no idea that this was a thing until recently but now I understand why. The few times I have tried are just uncomfortable and don't really do anything for me for some reason.

Sometimes when I feel like an orgasm would make me feel better I do make him worship my pussy. It also helps to keep him interested which helps make me feel less guilty about leaving him locked up all the time. I also remind him that he asked for this but I have to admit that he rarely complains.

I am happy to see that you still get pleasure from PIV and you still allow your husband to get pleasure from intercourse although I'm not sure how much pleasure he gets if he has to wear a strap on lol. But I am seriously wondering if I will ever feel like having sex again - I mean intercourse - with my husband. If you have any advice on getting through this I think it would be helpful to a lot of us! lol

Thank you for following up on your husband's post. I totally understand what you mean by you "don't feel like yourself." My change came a bit earlier than most, and it was several years of hot flashes, night sweats, cold spells, and crazy appetite swings. Nothing felt right, and I started gaining weight. My doctor says that my metabolism slowed way down, I was tired, and the last thing I wanted was my husband bothering me for intimate time. When you are not comfortable in your own skin it's just so hard to relax and enjoy intimacy.

It really did take several years for me to get past the perimenopause and have things start settling down. Yes, my husband was locked up for most of it, not that he really needed to be because sex just was not on the table (or anywhere else 😆) anyway. I don't want to say that he was "locked and forgotten" but honestly he might as well have been. A few times I did offer that he just unlock the cage and take it off, more out of sympathy or pity or something. To his credit he remained caged on his own.

When I finally started feeling better, we did get back to intercourse and foxing. Fortunately I did not get the vaginal pain that so many women get after menopause. However, things were definitely different. My lubrication was very thin, and I would get sore more easily. We went through different lubes (and now we us organic coconut butter from Trader Joes lol). Oh, and I'm a lot more prone to UTIs. I used to think it was the vixskin, but boiling and disinfecting didn't help. My gyno told me that it was a common condition, and she gave me some antibiotics which I take a dose of whenever we have sex.

Now, if you are not enjoying intercourse and your gyno can't make any suggestions, it's okay. You already keep your husband locked, so he has already learned... or is learning... how to manage his own libido and how to turn his energy into pleasing you instead of worrying about his own orgasm. This is why I tell women who message me that they do not need to feel guilty about this change in your sex life. He asked for this... to be locked and for you to take charge. This is one of those things that happen in life that you have no control over, so all you can do is control how you deal with the situation.

I am learning that there are more "no penetration" marriages than I ever would have guessed, and while a lot of them are done out of some kind of kinky game, some of them, like yours are more because Mother Nature was not kind. If this is the way you are leaning, please remember that your husband wants all the best for you. You can still reward him with your hands or by letting him rub himself on you (he must have a favorite place lol), and then lock him back up. Or you can use a vibrator to help take the pressure off of him. If you have read some of the other women's stories that have written in, some men find the idea of being denied penetration to be a turn on.

Finally, please keep an open mind. You may come out of this once again being able to enjoy intercourse, at least, when you start feeling somewhat normal... or rather, when all these things that are happening start settling down. And there are a lot of resources and articles for you to check online. You may not feel better about it but at least you'll know that you are not alone. Best of luck hon and let me know how you're doing.

✧ ･ﾟINTRODUCTION ･ﾟ✧

☽𓂃⋆⁺₊ hello helloooo my little pixel-dusted darlings, reality-skippers, god-babies and deities in training!!!

you’ve just stumbled… or maybe manifested? channeled? saw it in a dream? felt the pull in your solar plexus—into a corner of the internet where your human suit will probably glitch, your sense of self will start peeling like glitter stickers off a foggy mirror, and your concept of “reality” might just cry a little in the backroom,, teehee.

anywayzzz hi. I’m Nikolas. it means Victory of the People and i always gloat abt it. You can call me any version of my name, srsly, Nikk, Niko, Nikki, idrc ;3

You may have seen my posts recently as I’ve been a lurker on tumblr for a while and decided to just post a bit, then realized “woah, people like this” so here’s my introduction! yes, i may sound slightly different compared to my post cuz i’ve dialed down the seriousness lolll

🪞— i’m part hyper-child that’ll bite your ankles, part god, part tired teenager scribbling affirmations in the margins of existence and screaming motivation at you.

14 years on this planet—15 soon, so clap for me on july okay?? i want confetti and cupcakes with existential sprinkles.

i was already an open minded child and lived in my imagination most my life—so finding manifesting and shifting felt like it was FOR me. i’ve been shifting since 2022, have shifted before and i think i started manifesting since i was like, nine, before i even knew what that meant. i was just like “if i imagine i give off queen bee vibes.. it works?!” It was mostly appearance and family related things I manifested, I created from nothing like it was breathing.

and now? now i do it on purpose.

🎠 — this blog is a playground for the formless. a candyland of divine chaos. a metaphysical scrapbook for weird little gods with glittery fingers and notebooks full of spells that rhyme with their heartbreaks.

i talk about manifestation, law of assumption, reality shifting, the void, dreams, non-physical planes, quantum stuff but like… cute. i probably cried on the floor last week but still channeled something celestial the same night. duality is real. i am the contradiction.

🧸 — i’m everything and nothing all at once.

you’ll either feel me like static electricity in your chest

or not at all.

and that’s okay too.

🪐 — i don’t care what gods you believe in, if you kneel when you pray, or if you think tarot is a scam and the universe is just a rock. i will however keep spreading my belief that you are god so if u don’t like that then.. sorry:(

i’ve been through stuff. i’m an ex-muslim, Iraqi, bisexual child with more trauma than folders in my google drive. i’m soft and electric. i’m a little delusional. i’m learning how to laugh at the dream while still dreaming it.

and you?

you’re here.

that means you’re ready. or maybe just curious.

either way, stay. plz.

𖤐 okok wait—wait. don’t scroll yet. i’m not done being mysterious in an attention seeking way

𓆩𖤐𓆪 FUN (???) FACTS ABOUT ME

☞ i have a tiktok account 4 shifting! (shiftingwithniko,, yes, shameless promo.) but i’m not rlly active there anymore bc we all know how shiftok is..

☞ i am SO shit at keeping friends so if we’re moots, expect very awkward talks.

☞ i’m too emotionally cooked to stay in this dimension but I’ll try my best to get out constant posts for y’all..

☞ too many drs, too many ideas, too many hopes and dreams, but aren’t we all like this

✧:˚🫀 MY GENERAL VIBES:

— i’m the kind of person who will walk into a room like i invented existence and then immediately spiral about if i said “hi” weird

— i have main character syndrome and background character syndrome at the exact same time. how? don’t ask. i just do.

— sometimes i say stuff like “i’m literally god” and then trip over air and cry about my tone sounding weird when i ordered food.

— i’m a walking contradiction and that’s the POINT. like. i will scream at the sky to bend for me, and then cry because my hair isn’t doing the thing i wanted.

— i wanna sit on a cloud and giggle but also punch god in the throat and become him.

☾⋆｡𖦹°‧ my personality.. yay..

a child god who’s a little too aware.

like, i KNOW too much for someone who still gets sparkly-eyed over stickers and wears fuzzy socks while rewriting timelines.

i call it Divine Hyper Teen Boy Delusion (™ pending.)

pretty sure i change personalities every week and have an identity crisis like thrice a month

⚠️ — i’m not here to convince you of anything.

i’m just here to remind you that you’re not crazy for feeling like you were meant for more.

you were. you are. and you already are it.

🍬 THINGS I BELIEVE IN:

— manifestation (all methods; LOASS, LOA, etc)

— shifting

— subliminals

— astral projection

— you are god

so yeah.

stay divine, pretty souls.

don’t forget to script. or not, ur choice!

drink water (or stardust).

and remember, if reality acts up?

Make a new one.

— with shaky hands & glittering neurons, Nikolas, your neighborhood hypermanifestor, glitter prophet, & certified timeline menace

pspsps you’re cute & you deserve a dream that kisses you back.

[what-is-my-life-lmao]

I hope you’re okay!!! Take your time with this, no rush at all!!

Fic (or Headcanon, I don’t mind either way) with Cheated x Hero? Per chance?

Hiiii I'm fine no need to worry!! Thank you for caring about me you're really nice <3 (god I just realized how fake this sounds after typing it I swear I appreciate your concern I just don't know how to express it)

Hero x Cheated general headcanons

Chronic People-pleaser x professional hater, I see the appeal

I headcanon that in a post-construct au, Hero would end up in a leader role, and while he'd like helping his flock, it would probably burn him out quickly, and he'd end up neglecting himself

Cheated sees this and goes "dude stop letting everyone walk over you" and makes him take a nap

Hero seeing Cheated's anger going out of control and helping him calm down, letting Cheated rant to him about what's bothering him

Cheated and Hero playing some kind of competitive game and Cheated keeps losing and usually he'd already have flipped the table in rage but the way Hero looks every time he wins makes him feel butterflies in his stomach and he can't even be mad (then Cheated finally wins and he's super happy and then he sees Hero being way more exited than all the times he's won and it makes his chest all warm and fluffy)

Cheated tries to help Hero have more of a spine (Hero might not be as spineless as someone like Broken, but I feel like it would still help him to learn to hold some healthy grudges)

For activities they'd do together, I think they'd prefer more mellow stuff, like binging some tv show (if they have a tv), cuddling in one of their beds/nests, or maybe just going on walks together, watching the birds fly, on that note.....

SURPRISE MINI FIC YAYYY

"Hey, are you free?"

Hero blinked in surprise, he'd just finished helping Hunted and Skeptic patch up Contrarian after falling off of the roof (he doesn't know how he got up there in the first place, but he's learnt better than to question Contra's ways), only to come face to face with Cheated the second he left Hunted's room.

"Oh, yeah, what's up?"

"Want to go to a walk? I found a pretty neat place yesterday, and you could use a break- and don't you fucking say you don't."

Hero looked away in embarrassment at that, he knows damn well Cheated doesn't like it when he doesn't take care of himself, so he's trying to work on it, and a walk with him does sound nice right now

"Sure, where are we going?" he says noticing that Cheated is wearing a backpack, which probably means that they'll be gone for a while

"I remember back at the construct you said you wanted to look at birds, and I found a clearing in the forest where you can see a bunch of them very easily"

"Wh- you remembered that??" He felt his cheeks flush, honestly he himself had forgotten about that comment he'd made, too preoccupied with settling in in their new home, and helping the others with their issues while also dealing with his own issues, and- okay he's starting to see why Cheated always insists he takes breaks, "I mean- it was just a silly thought- you didn't have to take it so seriously"

Cheated sighed in annoyance, "you wanna go birdwatching, right?"

...He did, a lot, "yes"

"Then we're going, the others won't get themselves killed if you're not looking at them for a few hours"

"I'm not so sure about that." But nevertheless he followed him outside

...

Cheated was right, the clearing truly was beautiful, and he could already see a few birds flying around while they got settled down, Hero looked up to the sky as he sat down next to his- was boyfriend the right word? He couldn't really say, they hadn't talked about it, but they spent more time together than most of the others on the flock, these walks they went to could be considered dates and he really, really liked Cheated, but did he like him in that way? And more importantly, did Cheated feel the same?

A hand was waved on his face, "Hey, Earth to Hero, you with me?"

"Ah! Yes, sorry, I got stuck in my head for a bit there, what were you saying?"

Cheated passed him his backpack, now open, letting him see what Cheated had packed in, there were binoculars, a notebook, a book about bird species, and some snacks and drinks inside.

"Woah, you really came prepared, huh?" he opened the bird book and looking through its pages.

Cheated opened up a chocolate bar and took a bite off it, "well duh! We're going birdwatching aren't we?"

The way Cheated smiled at him was way better than any birds they could find

Hi, I love seeing your art! Do you have a typical process when it comes to using your colors/shading?

Howdy! That's very kind of you to say! I'm pretty unsatisfied with my own color work, so I'd like to point you to someone I admire's work before I start talking here- please eyeball GGDG's work (largely posting as pallisia on here (please play SoulSov)). The way they paint mood, their grasp of texture is fuckin' unbeatable. I know this is cliche, but I also highly recommend looking at Mary Blair's work. It's the gold standard for color for a reason. When I color, I try to think about mood too. I usually use a brush with a flexible opacity for 'building up' color and shading. If (for fanart) a character has official colors, I like to eyeball those (though I think eyedropping is very viable and is a wonderful way to teach working with strong contrasting colors), then flex them towards whatever mood I'm aiming for. Warmer, cooler, sadder, happier... Sometimes a green metal looks more metallic than a grey metal (this is not universal advice just a hypothetical finding), you find strange things playing around like that.

After a while you draw a character so much you 'know' the colors, and they start to mutate a little. You find fun moods you like to play with. You learn that drawing this character with black hair with deep blue hair sells an approach you like when making art of this character. Not that you should lock in colors or nothin', but a lot of like, color stuff like that comes with time and fiddling around.

I'm a student of 2011 tumblr, so I shade with a hard light layer usually. The shadows hold strong vividity of color + it's a very flexible method for like. Cleanup on the fly. Plus you can do a lot of mood adjustment by playing with hue and saturation- I also like hitting lighting as a hard light layer, but please be advised this can end up looking a bit muddy if you're not careful (I run into this problem a lot)

If I run into contrast issues, I often find playing with gradient maps on a duplicate layer can help me figure out what my troubles are. Though be warned this CAN really muddy the colors, so try to be thoughtful using this.

Here's what I mean about colors tilted warm (this is not general advice but the mood I wanted to pursue in this drawing)- I then used a hard light overlay with a strongly saturated red, a purple on the cloak (it's fun to play around with this, sometimes you want all the same shadow color, sometimes you want to keep in mind each part's individual tone. It depends on the mood you're pursuing). The lighting here is a light green for contrast.

Hope this is what you were looking for! My advice is to play with every layer setting you possibly can. Try also to think about the material (I don't have this in my drawing at all but think about this- how does light pass over fur? How does light pass through clothing, based on different thicknesses? If light travels easier through a thin coat vs a thick scarf, how would this look different when you're painting color onto it?) and what mood you want your piece to carry.

Good luck out there !

I've had this pose ref saved for a while and the Superman set photos just gave off the same energy 👉🏻👈🏻

The reference is this photo of Katharine Hepburn as Antiope and Colin Keith-Johnston as Theseus in the 1932 play 'The Warrior's Husband' (and I'd love for people to turn into a draw your otp meme pls pls pls this pose is so good)

And also, of course, the Superman (2025) set photos

[braveseeker3]

okay so starscream and jetfire in my custom continuity. they are just similar enough in personality but opposite in likes/dislikes that they Do Not like each other.

they tolerate each other for skyfire's sake lol. teamed up once or twice when someone was being mean to skyfire to scare the scrap out of them lmaooooo.

when starscream came back after skyfire's crash jetfire was the only one who believed that he didn't cause skyfire's crash/disappearance because of the twin bond. jetfire defended starscream when the latter was charged with attempted murder, and jetfire may have had an attempt on his life made by Senator-hired hitmen. . . or two. . . or three. . .

then the revolution happens and jetfire busts starscream out of jail. jetfire joins the ascenticon movement while starscream goes back home. and when the newly named autobots split off from the ascenticons jetfire follows optimus. starscream joins the decepticons along with his trine, his siblings, and their trines.

and during the war when skyfire is missing they are in a very interesting dynamic of both being Air Commanders for their respective faction, both not getting along, both kinda wanting to kill to other but not doing so because if jetfire kills starscream skyfire will get really upset, and if starscream kills jetfire that will kill skyfire as well.

and they get to earth and realize hey this is where skyfire crashed and team up to find him. when they find him jetfire takes skyfire back to the ark and starscream goes back to the decepticon base to figure out where to go from here. does he stay with the cons? does he leave and go to the twins? could he convince his family to come with him if he leaves?

who knows?

In Stars And Time Classpects

Siffrin - Thief of Time Mirabelle - Page of Space Isabeau - Heir of Blood Odile - Seer of Heart Bonnie - Sylph of Hope

Explanations under the cut!

Siffrin - Thief of Time Of course Siffrin literally manipulates time, but Time as an aspect is also associated with death, destruction, and inevitability, which are huge themes in their story. Nothing says "time player" more than marching onwards through a thousand deaths, fighting against a fate that seems impossible to avert. And as a Thief, Siffrin specifically steals time from others in order to have more for himself. Whoops! Time players are relentless, and thieves are active, self-centered. They won't sit still and accept the inevitable; they'll struggle towards their goal at any cost. It's incredibly fitting for a Thief of Time to hold their objective so tightly that the reason they wanted it disintegrates in their grasp, lost to entropy.

Mirabelle - Page of Space As the chosen one spearheading the mission to collect the orbs and save the country, she seems like the obvious choice for the other essential aspect and its quest, collecting frogs and ensuring the continuation of life. Luckily, the metaphorical side fits perfectly as well: Space is about creation, just like the Change religion! But as a Page, Mirabelle doesn't use her aspect herself; instead, she leads using it, and leads others to use it. She inspires others to change, learn, and improve. Pages reach their potential slowly – they may struggle for a while with feelings of inadequacy and stagnation. After a long hard journey with lots of reflection and personal growth, though, they can end up the strongest of all! And for Mirabelle, as a Page of Space, that means learning to let go of the urge to force personal change, inspiring external change on a greater scale instead.

Isabeau - Heir of Blood Blood means relationships, trust, and obligation. Heirs embody their aspect, and perhaps attract it, receive it, are controlled by it; the perfect class for someone who specifically crafted himself into the kind of person others would reach out to. Heir is one of the most active of all the passive classes, but it's still passive – Isabeau makes space for bonds, commits to bonds, but doesn't take the first step to create the bonds himself. His choice to follow Mirabelle was a natural continuation of his obligations as defender. He couldn't bring himself to confess to Siffrin, but that passive crush was a powerful narrative force. Isabeau didn't assemble the team, but he reinforces the bonds that allow it to function!

Odile - Seer of Heart Heart is the aspect of self and identity, which is the heart (heh) of Odile's quest. She wants to learn about herself, and her chosen method is learning about other people. Seers seek a comprehensive knowledge of their aspect and then use it to coordinate and advise others; Odile analyzing enemies and deciding team tactics is a perfect example of this! The Seer prevents their party from making mistakes related to their aspect, so a successful Seer of Heart would understand each teammate's personality well enough to guide them through their character arcs and prevent self-destructive behavior. Odile noticed Siffrin's increasingly out-of-character behavior, and had the ability to figure out why they had changed... except he kept thwarting her efforts by stealing her time. But in the end she managed to thwart them instead, forcing them to stay put and go through their character development already!

Bonnie - Sylph of Hope Hope is one of the most literal aspects; Hope players raise morale, stick to their convictions, and believe that a better world is possible. The Sylph of Hope would be someone who uses Hope to heal other people, or fixes and maintains Hope itself. Obviously, Bonnie literally brings hope and healing by passing out the potions, but they're also the snack leader! Nothing boosts morale like a nice meal. Hope is also the antithesis to Rage, which represents possibilities being cut off. Bonnie reacts poorly to situations that invoke the Rage aspect, like the adults discussing death (the ultimate end of possibilities), and Siffrin getting injured in their defense (which no amount of belief can heal); in fact, they react with anger and an urge to tear down any positive that's left! Since Hope is associated with black and white thinking, it's not surprising that when Bonnie loses hope, they lose it, leaning into their aspect's opposite. But that's not where they stay – when they protect Siffrin in their friendquest, they're able to not just heal their own hope, but give hope to Siffrin as well. Bonnie believes that they and their friends can all protect each other, and in the end, they do!

Can you draw Shrimp and Sharc-chan doing something together pls :>

I just kinda want to see your designs for both of them lol

…does Sharc-Chan being Shrimp’s biggest hater count as them doing something together? /silly

Sharc, honey, behavior like this is why Captain Afraid (most likely) broke up with you 😭

also here’s an extra Shrimp doodle for @freakinflipflop :3

[killuaisaprincess]

Hiiiii sweetheart! I don't know if you remember me but I'm Emil7 from ao3 😅

I just finished my exams and wanted to binge-read your fics but it appears like they were either deleted or hidden--I don't know I can only see 6 fics on your profile? (╥﹏╥)

Is everything okay? I'm a bit worried about what is happening and are you fine? Like in real life and all (╯_╰)

Hope you're doing great though and that really it's nothing! Thank you again for everything ���

Awww EMILLLL 😭🥺 of course, I’d never forget you!!

I didn’t think anyone would notice or if they did they’d be jumping for joy.

Thanks for caring 🥺

I hide all my Gonki’s for now.

I have PMDD, RSD, and ADD, but it’s mostly the PMDD, that makes me go through these swings every month where I get really depressed and suicidal and also lots of things I love are at threat. Stuffed animals I’ve had all my life, save files, ect.

Even my fics. I can normally fight it, but I worked really hard on my last fic and it like bombed, even more than my fics normally do. And I know people are gonna be like write for yourself ect, ect. And I do. I so do. There wouldn’t be a single fic on my page if I didn’t write for me. And I don’t wanna seem like an ungrateful bint. You and a few others who gave me support I didn’t even deserve meant the world. I don’t wanna make it seem like that means nothing. When it meant everything, but I just worked really hard on it and it was kinda the breaking point for my PMDD. And I know there’s a lot of caveats to my work, like niches, headcanons, the fact I post too much, the fact I write short fics, the fact I act overexcited in my tags. All those things and more, I don’t expect to be like other people who write the popular pair, and get 30/50/200 kudos in a single day, while I’m not in fandom anymore, I started in it and I know what an average is, but I just worked really hard and I guess it kinda just hit hard this time. I really love and work hard and try and it brings me joy.

It’s probs mix of just 5 years of pouring my soul into something, and PMDD, and also years of people telling me my fics make them miserable and they hate seeing me in the tags, I make them wanna die, ect, and no matter how happy something makes me, and how much I love doing it eventually it’s just too much. I don't think people realize it since I delete the stuff, but I get stuff like this throughout the years, this the only one I really kept since I don't want memories, but I had posted it about it that day on Twitter becuz it had been the day before my Gram's birthday and her death ani, so I ranted. And this is honestly one of the tame ones, to anyone it might not seem that bad, but they also did this the day on my Gram's death ani the woman who was more or less my Mom only a few years after she died. All this to say they don't care about the people behind the screen. I also had a fucker comment on my birthday fic, gifts to others fics and so on. Since I comment moderated and turned off guests it's a lot less bad, but then they came here, so I had to turn off anons here, eventually hopefully they run out of places and I can have peace. It's just fanfic bruh, to those people, just mute me and ignore. I like my out of pocket shit and my emojis I'm very much so not a reg brain human 'cause I have brain scarring on top of everything else, so I just wanna have fun.

I know I'm being selfish; no one owes me anything, and I'm honored and usually over the moon for one kudos, but these mental days suck, and they don’t mean I've stopped loving Gonki! I’m just taking a break from the stress of a popular pair. It’ll only probs be a few days to a week, but I want a few mental days off.

I am stressed irl too, but that’s just a circumstance of PMDD it’s hell and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, and I do my best to keep it off socials, I don’t wanna be like, hey, guys I wanna die! Every month, like…

I’d never want to delete what made me so happy, and I love and I still love, so orphaning wasn’t a choice. I mean it is, but that would be like me throwing the towel in forever, and I still wanna post and write it’ll probs just be Zukini for a bit.

I’d like you to know tho, that you and the few other people who supported me meant the world, and have helped me and meant so much. 🩷 it brought me such joy that anyone could love my fics. Most the time I wake up like, holy shit?! Anyone likes my fics?!

But I think every creator probs goes through a burnt out and sadness on lack of engagement build-up of hate getting to them ect at some point sadly 😞

But I’m okay, and they’ll be back for you to read! Soon! Until then I hope you enjoy the rare pair 😂, I don’t mind keeping my rare pair up, ‘cause no one reads it anyway, and it’s not a popular pair so less of a target on my back these unhinged people who attack me over a bunch of headcanons and fluffy fics are not gonna give a f about Zukini. I’m talking to my bf and enjoying the Stellar Blade collab in Nikke and failing to pull Pajama Noa in Blue Archive and getting my Plat in Lulua anddd even touching some grass outside games and still writing! And still enjoying life, so dw, I know I had a super duper bunch of depressing shit above, but I’ll be okie!

Idk why there's disbelief over Mark S/Helly in terms of motivation. Helly is just as capable of cruelty and selfishness as Helena. They are at the core of it, the same person with different memories/experiences. They can be two perspectives worthy of indulging their own dreams and desires and also be the same person. Narratively here especially, this isn't about morality, it's about human nature.

Helly was never cruel, sure, of course. Helly felt like she was the same as the other people in MDR. But Helly has something right now that she never even achieved as Helena. Someone who loves her. Someone who is choosing her. Helly is Winning over Helena here.

Jame Eagen wanders down just to be a freak and reinforces the reality of it. Helly is "More" than Helena, hasn't been worn down by the weight of experience and the world (and their cult and corporate bullshit). She still has, in some way, the innocence of youth and lack of experience with the world. She doesn't have the same fears and burdens or triggers as Helena in her conscious experience. She still has the ability to express her passions and outrage and defend herself. And to love and not feel sorry for it.

Severance gave Helena a chance to exist without the learned perspectives and burdens of the Eagens and she is able to be free with herself and her passions and desires-- whereas Helena was likely drained of any dreams for potential beyond a strictly guided future decades ago.

Of course Helly is feeling a rush of joy and satisfaction over Mark loving her. Mark choosing her. She tried to do the "right thing" by being logical with Mark. "I'm her." Even outside of Lumon, if they bring it all down, there's no hope for an Eagen and an ex-severed employee in reality. In the Real World they will never be together. Mark couldn't love Helena, how could anyone love an Eagen? (Poor Helly really with like, the enemy is within etc, but that's kinda the situation framed by Lumon for everyone by setting the stage with your Innie isn't human kinda rhetoric.) (This was also reinforced by Helena trying to get close to Mark to see if he still had feelings or chemistry with her and finding out they were not going to work outside Lumon.)

What if the equator is a building that could be a continent? Can be their whole world? They're choosing to live Now. Together in the present despite knowing that with their half lives, they could be brought to an end at any moment. It's very willful young love of them. And why wouldn't it be? This is their First Love. They haven't even been "alive" that long or have any memory of romance beyond their current infatuation. They don't know the world or it's places, and maybe that's okay, maybe they can exist in this space so long as they have love and the others.

It's completely human for Helly to accept Mark choosing her. To run to him just to see him for maybe the last time. It's human for Mark S to run to Helly. It's human for poor Gemma, who doesn't even know her fucking husband is severed, to be pounding on the door.

But this is their Final Day to Mark and Helly. Maybe the very end of their world. It's Judgement Day. Of course they'd have them holding hands and running back to the unknown to face the end together. To die together.

There is also zero fucking chance Mark Scout would risk his life and brain continuing reintegration once his wife is back. Mark Scout is going to choose his wife. Mark is choosing Love on both sides here.

All of it is reasonable.
