really high and crying about this

" it isn't mine. " A pause. "Most of it." (To Kym.)

Kym simply deadpanned at that.

"C'mon, tough guy..." He murmured, gently taking Miyke's hand, "Let's gettcha patched up and cleaned up..."

Regardless of how much of it was his, some was still his. and that meant he was hurt, dammit.

🙊💬 Malekith for Rose

(@theaccursedninth from here) - (always accepting!)

"…Tormented."

The word is gritted out reluctantly through her teeth, a sheen of sweat along the brow. The serum bleeds into her nervous system and her head lulls backward, whisky browns rolling and breath hitching just so. Her heartbeat quickens and her pupils swell to the point of overpowering any color that should remain.

There is something of the wolf in her.

"A singular God, harrowing an' terrified an' left all alone on the edge'a creation.. cos'a me…"

Soft lips fall open, a shuddering breath is taken and a singular tear falls down her cheek. The remnants of a sing-song resonate around the edges of the words the blonde speaks next.

"An' when he finds out you've got me… locked away in 'ere… he's gonna tear you apaa-aa-aaart…" The blonde dissolves into giggles, leaning against the restraints of the chair that she's bound to.

Crew of the Ichor - Pt. 1

Captain Elcor

(note: contains vague descriptions of violence/gore)

Captain Elcor is said to slip through the walls and deck of the Ichor like a ghost, but some say he was never alive to begin with.

Some say the captain's body was never laid to rest at sea, but remained aboard a vessel that stubbornly refused to sink - even after its captain chose to go down with the ship his crew had abandoned. They say that two husks drifted at sea until a goddess of the deep* was moved enough by their loyalty that she breathed new life into them, now bound as one.

Others still, say that there lived a sea beast so canny that it grew a shell - a shell of wood and iron, with fins of canvas that caught the wind.

Tall tales, others murmur. You know sailors and their stories.

They say that the first dragon it swallowed became its tongue - the second and third, its arms - the fourth, in splinters, its teeth: a crew so resentful of their fate that they would sacrifice anyone, no matter their flight or kind, to the belly of the beast.*

-------

There are many versions of this story, and yet all of them seem to be mired in the superstition centering around the origin of the ship and its captain. In my travels, limited as they are by my reluctance to stray far from the Library at the Catacombs, I have yet to find any actual, substantiated explanation for the unusual properties possessed by the captain*.

Nor have any documented encounters* with the Ichor and its crew seem to stray from what one can expect from a non-supernatural crew operating in pirate waters.

...That is to say, none of my research explains why the Captain of the Ichor appears to have been building some sort of shack on my shoreline.

------

*1: Stories fail to specify, though I suspect a reference to the locally-worshippped water deity, as while she is usually invoked in stories of star-crossed lovers, the association with doomed devotion wouldn't be amiss here.

*2: (Taverngoers moments ago caught up in the story will interject and quabble over the details here - No, no, they will say, the captain and crew are the beast's organs, lures like the lantern on a Deepsea Yawner, or any number of other versions of the story. This humble writer recommends ducking to avoid the claws and strikes of elemental magic that may be soon to break out.)

*3: Or, if he is indeed a ghost, why he differs so from those I've previously documented (see my notes on the inhabitants of Zen's Garden, and the ghost 'keeper' role traditional to its culture).

*4: Documented, in this instance, including both the research of particularly brave folklorists who sought out the ship and "actual" first-hand accounts - stories seem to center mostly around how lucky and/or brave the teller was to escape with their life.

“Alright, thanks mom!” The young mechanical chimera’s wings unfurled, and with a quick flap, Claus went to where the anon was, very quickly. His mechanical arm had already shifted into an arm cannon.

Yeah, the anon was probably going to have many broken bones and a lot of burn scars.

Whumptober 2022 Day 29: “Better Me Than You”

In the heat of the moment, he sometimes forgets that his boss likes to have any changes of plan spelled out verbally.

Nyanyanyanya, you can't take Neurodivergent!Yuan from my clutches ever again. (*cough everyone calls him shifty and shady and scheming and dishonest when he actually gives you the most open and honest exposition of how ALL of the universe actually works in game freely and all because he doesn't do the whole eye contact thing cough he's not even THAT backstabbing he's been very direct about his true loyalties and yeeeah there's the little hostage and blackmailing thing but that's not shady that's just being as jerk cough cough honestly cough because I just had Covid cough why am I rambling*)

In all seriousness tho, I just liked the scenario of, like. Both of them being taken prisoner. It's rough. And they have a world to save (or a city or a country or... choose your AU). And Yuan just going "I know *I* have no filter, but you've been taking MY beating for the past week because you never stop mouthing off, do you even notice???" And Botta like "??? It seems I've been making assumptions about what is 'obvious' and 'a given' again. I'm sorry."

Also Botta, as always, having that bad tendency of prioritizing his own personal safety somewhere below "don't forget to buy lemonade" on the list.

Not entirely sure where in their relationship they are here, because mostly I've been thinking about my AU - that largely just exists in my head and is in no way coherent - where Cruxis runs the mafia plus the cops, and in that AU it's "currently" more like. Botta making a big show of being Irresistable™ and, frankly, fucking around lmao. While he is definitely crushing HARD on Yuan. And they're both hot messes and can't properly communicate their feelings, so everyone has to suffer the bickering of "You kinda looked jealous just now~~" - "THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR FUCKING EYES THEN" and silently wishes that one of them FINALLY bends the other over a desk so everyone will have peace again. (They're still best buddies, of course. Even with the bickering.) So. I'd say No to Established Relationship for this specific work, but something like Mutual Pining if you squint. Hehe.

I found a deleted, very short and sparse snippet that never made it into any of The Mysterious Message fics! It was written before the plot became super cohesive, and would probably have been included in “Undertaker” had it made it in the fic. 

“Magnus?” Asked a man’s quavering voice. 

He slowly turned to see James. 

“Where is your wife?” 

Magnus wanted to bawl. But he swallowed his tears and instead swung his fist.

Pirate Whump

the brig!! thrown in there and forgotten while saltwater seeps through and drenches whumpee constantly leaving them coughing and miserable

lack of sleep, forced to be on duty for hours at a time

smacking whumpee to the deck with a blow that leaves their eyes watering.

scrubbing the deck until their hands are scraped and bleeding. their arms and back ache so badly that when they stand up, they immediately double over.

flogging for minor mistakes. the humiliation of having their shirt ripped away and the stabbing, sharp pain of the cat o'nine tails on their skin is enough to break down the most stoic of the crew

collapsing on deck. in general. fainting. nausea. suddenly light headed and woozy from blood loss

falling to the deck on hands and knees and scraping them on the rough, worm-eaten wood

hostage situations on “friendly” terms. whumpee can wander around on deck and maybe they even joke around with some of the pirates. but the minute they try to escape, there’s a sweeping blade at their throat and someone roughly manhandling them to the captains quarters to be “dealt with”

being made an example of for misconduct is often extreme and cruel. there are no laws on the high seas

the damage left by the opposing side’s cannon fire? timber embedded in limbs, gaping wounds, and formerly brave sailors curling up in fetal positions to try and protect themselves

a captain whumper who calls their prisoner whumpee “darling” in the most derogatory way possible.

emergency first aid being applied hurriedly and with unskilled hands.bandages made from old shirts, amputations done unabashedly and crew mates being carried back fireman style to their ship.

“bite down on this” and “don’t look” as they cut away a damaged limb, multiple crew members holding whumpee down

mer whumpees— caught and put on a leash so they’re dragged along the side of the boat. sometimes they pull whumpee up and “have a bit of fun” as whumpee thrashes and gasps for air.

captain whumpee found stranded on an island by an opposing captain. they’re “taken care of” by being humiliated and beaten, laughed at, and forced to be the cabin boy

Classicstober Day 9: Achilles ⚔️⁠

[twinktor-frankenstein]

More Restored Turbo AU! Not a comic like I hoped, but I still got the idea out lol.

Basically given what the previous Turbo did to them, Ralph beats him up assuming he'd some how came back. Turbo manages to get away before Ralph gets the chance to literally kill him. But he doesn't really take the information that most of the arcade wants him dead well.

First post about this AU is here btw!

[cobaltcreations]

Me and my partner @the-good-ol-art-corner collaborated on this AWESOME poster for one of our favorite Bendy Aus @toontiedterror by @dictatortirah !! I am in LOVE with how it came out and I am so excited to see how this story and world develops!!

I put so many details into this, it is absolutely silly, but I had a swell time doing them. Those headshots on the missing posters belong to the staff from our own Bendy project @howdy-folks-its-showtime and we didn't even intend to make two versions. But I put so much into the background... I just had to make a version without the foreground to show it off <3
