#i ship them a normal amount

this is very sweet coming from Gale, but I would love to watch him try to catch Karlach and then promptly topple the fuck over with her in his arms

wait wait wait, sorry, but you have a pet fic idea where the river makes Augustine remember everything? Because oh my god that concept is making me go off the rocker

SAME!! I think about Augustine's memories way too much!! And I have so many feelings about it!! Remembering Earth and knowing that it's gone! Remembering John as he was and knowing how he’s now! He decided a long time ago that John had to die for the good of literally the whole galaxy, and even though Augustine the Lyctor definitely loves John to some extent it’s all tangled up in resentment and fear and bitterness and a bit of awe. And then remembering there was a time when John was a vulnerable human being who still made bad puns and everything was less complicated. And knowing that John took this life away from him. And asking himself if he’d have done differently in his place. And realizing that he actually loved John all along, even as a human! (*)

Anyway. I’m IN MY FEELINGS about it. Possible scenarios for fun and angst:

1) Augustine remembers at the end of HtN when they crash into the River. This is because of the tragedy of it all (he’s literally in the middle of trying to kill John. John just killed Mercy in front of him!) IDK why it would happen *this time* vs. all the other times he was in the River except for the drama

2) John makes Augustine remember at the end of HtN because he’s pissed off that Augustine asked him to let go of his revenge quest and he was like “the man you were on Earth would’ve HATED what you say just now, here I’m gonna show you”. No idea what would happen here except angry sex at some point

3) Augustine remembers at any point between the Resurrection and canon events, and John mindwipes him again. He’s very sorry, but it’s for the best

4) At some point while teaching herself how to deconstruct God, Mercy figures out how to recover their memories from Earth. She’s not about to fuck her own brain so she experiments on Augustine first. This is juicy because presumably he and John aren’t in the same location, and Augustine doesn’t know what the hell he should do, and also it’s not a life or death situation so he’s free to have an existential crisis, but also Mercy is there to witness it and it’s humiliating! Also probably Cythera is still around.

OBVIOUSLY all of these are extra juicier with your headcanon that Augustine died telling John he loved him and John was so spaced out on death energy he actually didn’t even listen and has no idea. So thanks for that, I love pain

(*)  My hc for Augustine plotting Dios Apate is that sometimes he tells himself that whatever feelings he has for John are probably artificial, and John did it on purpose during the Resurrection. He doesn’t even know if he believes it but he wants to. He never brings it up with Mercy because she knows too much about how brains work and will disillusion him immediately.

(Anyway me: I have Feelings about Augustine remembering Earth.§

Also me: all these Feelings are about John, sorry Alfred sucks to be you )

There’s something very profound about Eliot “I refuse to verbally address my feelings or the elephant in the room” Spencer saying “until my dying day.” Like, a man who can’t and won’t talk about his past admitting he can’t see a future without Hardison and Parker in it.

Mkay last post before logging off. Featuring silly pixel art I made w/ my mouse.

This chart was actually made out of pure self-indulgent a while back with no intention of being posted, I ended up scribbling(?) all over the thing. Hopefully it's readable when zoomed in.

It's "my ship in 5 minutes" but I can make it 30 if you want. WARNING: Tons of sappy yapping+pixel art download under cut.

About "tropes": The trope is called Angel-Devil shipping, oh but I don't think PV is an angel. He's more like a God for SM (at least that's my preference)… Thinking at all the possible tropes that suits them make me really wonder why some people consider Shadowvanilla a crack/pro ship. Enemies to lovers or villain/hero ships have been pretty archetypal since the day of olds. Compared to all the ships I've encountered in the past… Shadowvanilla is more or less the "slightly out of the norm" on the "problematic ships scale" <- typing this out make me feel like an old fandom veteran haha

About "how it happens": I have no idea where to put PV on that chart. He's the one who approached first, but not out of romantic intents, him falling for SM is as unexpected as can be. SM fell first and slowly, and in 'slow' I meant decades upon decades. It's inevitable, painfully so, spending all those years watching over this cookie who's so perfect in his imperfections, how could one not feel something? Of course it's not so simple, that 'something' is a horrid mixture of disgust, envy, hatred, understanding, both the need to preserve and destroy… And maybeee the tiniest crumb of affection? SM realized something around the first couple hundredth years mark, he then spends the next thousands in denial of it. No matter. Whether it's PV or the Soul jam, his birth-given rights. SM knows what he wants and he WILL get what he wants. (He's wrong on both fronts. And somewhere in the back of his mind, SM knows that. But he'll never admit it. He'll never ever admit anything. Until it's too late. In a way, the same goes for PV)

About a certain someone who's not clingy, but would die for attention: I think PV gets lonely easily. As he's hyper-aware of himself and considerate of others, appearing clingy is the last thing PV wants. So PV would put extra efforts in taking care of those around him, be it cookies, animals or the greenery in his garden. A healer is always busy, always helpful. If he's always needed by others then he would never be afraid of being alone. Ironically enough, this ended up making PV come off as a little overbearing. As of late, the only ones able to see through the facade are Hollyberry cookie and you-know-who.

Other scattered thoughts: These two are completely different yet can't be more similar, on the various sliding scales they're either stuck to one another or are flung to both ends. On another note, honestly I can't see these two doing anything domestic together, the most I can see is cooking, which is basically the same as magic in the cookie world. Anyways, are they in "love"? Are they dating? Not really, no. It's more of a a parasitic-turned-symbiotic-soulbond, a will-they-won't-they-destroy-the-world situationship (iykyk) I do enjoy relationships that's hard to put into words. Their feelings are somehow romantic, somewhat deranged and something much, much deeper.

My desire to ship these two comes from the desire to see them grow beyound their archetypes. Being with PV does give SM the chance to be horrible as can be, yeah, but I'd like to think SM does have a personality outside of being a villainous tormentor. He spends so long observing others, and now for the first time he's being seen. Now SM have met someone who can see right through him, who can glimpse into those dammed vulnerabilities of his. Being with SM does let us see PV in his darkest moments, but it's at the same time the moments where PV can shine the most, to prove SM that his ideals isn't naïveté or simple platitudes. In canon, SM+PV works well as enemies, but it is the many contradictions born when romance is added into the mix that got me shipping. They simultaneously break down and bolster one another's greatest traits. Like binary stars, they orbit around the other, so close yet so far apart, lest they collide. They could've been so perfect for each other. But not in this life, or the next, or the next...

Pixel art time! I have way too much fun w/ Smilk's many faces, his and PV's combined came to around 22 expressions. These are quick to made due to their small size (25x25 px). Zip file includes both the og and 75x75 sizes. I don't mind if any Vanilla milkshakers might use these, just please remember to read the my art terms and conditions first! (which can be found in my About)

Some disclaimer: some images may have different names. This is the first time I'm using Getuploader so sorry if something broke.

First, you draw a circle… then you never stop drawing circles…

(ID: A compilation of Kirby series sketches and reference practice from between roughly 2020-2021 mostly featuring Magolor and Marx, with a few others as well.)

Part 1 (here!) | Part 2

Hey, so, I had a real bad time during the panini, and, in my dire need to feel something that wasn’t dead inside, I rediscovered my childhood love of Kirby. Which, you’ll be happy to know, has yet to subside - meaning there’s way more where this came from. Also, I might have a bit of a bias towards a certain egg wizard and the clown that bothers him. Gunolor is my favorite one here.
