#mistakes before the fall

Today’s demon of the day is Trophy, an ex-kindergarten teacher who may or may not have set fire to a school! She’s very willing to give anyone praise, and she’s a huge advocate for both self-confidence and arson.

Angel Dust, or as the humans know him, Anthony Ferrari, is now running a MostlyFans account to help keep up the rent in the apartment he shares with our resident radio man himself. The thirsty humans just can't get enough of our leading spider! You'd expect them all to be careful, what with D.H.O.R.K.S. out there still hunting after that first contact, but it might just be one of Angel's mistakes that puts them all on the radar.

We have Michael Morningstar or like I like to call him Goat man or new jersey devil but good.

If you were in a relationship with Wade and Logan, Logan would be the first to know if you were to become pregnant— but even he wouldn’t realize what was happening until much later. His instincts would immediately tell him to get closer to you, all the time, as often as possible. Holding hands occasionally while out grocery shopping turns into an arm around your waist and pressing you into his side, making you snort a little as pushing the cart becomes a Herculean task under his grip, Wade offering to take over the duty of cart driver if Wolvie wants to be close to you so bad. He shrugs it off as having seen someone eyeing you in a way that bothered him, but a gnawing feeling in his gut reminds him that he actually wasn’t sure why he’d gotten so grippy with you.

At home, it’s just as bad. He doesn’t even know that he’s doing it, that he’s being sort of annoying— his brain is making him act without being conscious of the changes. Watching you intensely while you prepare and cook food, suddenly wary of you cutting or burning yourself. Pulling you onto his lap every time he sees you on the couch— sometimes you just need personal space, damn it! And he even does it when you’re already cuddled up with Wade, which at first you both think is sorta cute, but starts to become a bit irritating when you just want to spend time with each other.

And in the bedroom, it’s the worst. And it’s where he realizes there’s something wrong, something amiss. He usually loves watching Wade lavish you with attention, his heart full as both of his partners enjoy each other, happily joining in the mutual loving between the three of you. But lately, it’s been getting tough. For the first time, he feels a distinct tightness in his stomach, hot and uncomfortable, twisting up his throat when he watches Wade touch you so reverently, hears all the salacious things he says to you. It makes him want to throw him off of you, makes him want to rip into his throat and tear his vocal cords out so he can’t say another lustful word to you (at least for a few hours). And that’s what makes him realize that something is off. He feels jealous. He’d never felt jealous of you and Wade before. The three of you together felt as easy as breathing. He has to step away that night, take a long walk outside and try to assess what his own deal is before he expresses his thoughts to you two. He loves you both too much; he can’t risk exploding like he used to.

Days later, and you’re standing over the bathroom sink, hands trembling as the little white stick between your fingers tells the truth behind your recently missed period. And when they’re both at your side, it suddenly clicks for Logan. That’s why he’d been feeling so different. So protective. You’d been pregnant the entire time.

And while your first thoughts are sheer panic— this wasn’t something the three of you had ever discussed— he’s quick to wrap you in his arms, holding you so, so close and sighing with relief and, honestly? Pure joy. Having an explanation for his strange, unnerving jealousy meant he could control it, that things were still fine between the three of you. Not only that, you were having a baby! In that moment he couldn’t even fathom caring whether it was his or Wade’s, only that his precious heart was having a baby, his baby, whether biologically his or not. Wade quickly joins in on the hug, and though he’s far more terrified than Logan, he’s already filled with that same inexplicably new feeling of an entirely different kind of love for you and the budding life within you. And knowing that you’ve got both of them by your side through it all makes the shock a little easier to bear.

Something I’ve been thinking about lately is that small moment in “Air Turtle” where immediately after the Daves lose yet another game, Leo says how sorry he is and how he’s doing his best as the mascot. This moment is so short but it’s honestly jam-packed with a whole heap of characterization.

His need to apologize for things clearly not his fault - especially when it feels like he messes up the job he was given despite doing the best he can (the phrase “it’s not about you” takes a new meaning when this is one of the lessons to be learned from that - that he is not always solely responsible for things going wrong), his need to save face and make a connection with an older adult man in his life (something he consistently does throughout the series - he’s got a few daddy issues, always collecting potential father figures, it’s no wonder he jumps at the bit to keep rapport), and the way he sounds and looks and the words he chooses really pushes how he is just a kid (“Mr. the Dunk, I’m so sorry”).

Like I know it’s a one off moment that doesn’t truly mean much, but when put against the rest of the series it works really well with the rest of Leo’s established character and helps in solidifying later concepts as well.

DIMENSION 46*| aka FIND ME AT THE HEIGHT OF NOON ‘VERSE

Profile Name: Stanford Filbrick Pines

Information: Loading...

sorry for the dramatic introduction, but i had to get your attention somehow!

meet the first of four main players for the “find me at the height of noon” verse! of course i had to start with the man the myth the moron ford pines, but also his appearance changes are much more obvious than the others so it would be easy to show that there’s some tweaks here and there between the main universe and this one by drawing him first :)

my biggest gripe was figuring out a way to change his design enough to make it obvious without changing everything about him, but i think i managed to find a pretty good balance. i mainly based his overall design on this promo art by sage cotugno, which is also where i got the idea for slightly tanner skin and lighter hair (also when he says "slightly", he means it - he has more consistent meals and runs and. that's it)

he’s been a pain in my ass to figure out as i was designing him, but i’ve had to take several breaks while drawing cause i was getting overwhelmed by cuteness aggression so i think it worked out in the end!!

now enough design rambling, applicable lore rambling is below the cut:

in dimension 46*| (46-asterisk-vbar), everything up until ford's second year at backupsmore is identical to the main universe, which is when a girl in his astrophysics class asks him to be her study buddy. they become typically college-class friends, where they do their homework and studying together, but don't really talk all that much outside of class. he doesn't think they have that much in common anyway: she's a cheerleader for the backupsmore underdogs and an education studies major, and he's, well, him.

after their final (which she passes, thanks to his help) ford doesn't really see her outside of football season, despite their campus not being very big. and, by the time he graduates and moves to gravity falls to study its anomalies, he let go of any expectation to run into her again and all but forgot about her.

until an expedition takes him to the multi-bears cave, and she nearly hurls an axe between his eyes.

also, as an aside, this is the same universe where stan listened to ford in 1982 and took journal #1 with him, and where ford founded the institute of oddology in gravity falls. he's very proud of the work he's done in his field, and is more than willing to answer every question you might have on his life before, during, and after he established the institute. everything, that is, except for the orosco daycare and learning center located in his old residence that marks the beginning of his career.

after all, when a portal has been opened, someone must go though.

*some post talking about how bad it is that Mabel is given so much shit for being just a literal 12yr old, making her sound like the worst*

YES YES FINALLY FUCK YEA YOU TELL IT!

*the post begins to bring up that Dipper is also a stupid 12yr old who also made mistakes*

ABSOLUTELY! I LOVE BOTH MY IMPERFECT BABIES, DONT ERASE ANY OF THEIR GOOD OR BAD, THATS WHAT MAKES THEM THEM

*the post then makes DIPPER sound like the worst human being imaginable*

...

The most hilarious thing about Twilight of the Apprentice is that Anakin is so terrified that Ahsoka will reject him the way Padme and Obi-Wan do, that she won't side with him, that he completely misses exactly HOW bad of a mental space she is in in that moment and that if he'd asked her to go Sith with him in that moment, she probably would've just to assuage her own guilt and keep him from being lonely or whatever it is she's upset about in Rebels.

Come check out the sinner of the day!

Raiye here was a sailor in life, taking the long route towards uncharted waters just for the thrill of it. Things took a turn for the worse, however, when the ship’s crew were swallowed in a typhoon and shot to the deep without a chance.

Although a bad situation, hell has been kind to Raiye and the other sunken members of the crew, providing them each with things to do and places to see- almost like the second chance they weren’t granted. Raiye specifically keeps busy with the job of a hitman, and although it doesn’t call for much other than maiming mostly, it’s still a good source of income and something to do.

Here's the first concept arts of the main man himself, Satan! He may have been (mostly) trapped in Purgatory for millennia now, but his Hellborn form doesn't look too much the worse for wear for it. Just know that all those eyes of his are more than just pretty to look at... he's looking back. And he's got plans for all the things he's seen...

[glitteryscar]

hangman's anger is such a beautiful thing to witness. him losing himself to that anger and losing the match because of it is also great storytelling imo

Was tagged by @oceancamp to post my current five favorite songs! (They should invent a stages-of-grief-esque model that encompasses and accurately describes both types of anguish I had to go through making this list - the one of limiting myself to only five songs, and the one of trying to put as little videogame music on here as possible so that I don't end up looking like an absolute goddamn geek, which... I am... Oh well!)

Thank you so much for tagging me - here are the songs!

Heaven Pierce Her - War Without Reason

Tatsuro Yamashita - Love Space

This specific arrangement of Death And Republic + Meet Again

Winger - Junkyard Dog (Tears On Stone)

The Protomen - Light Up The Night

Is it courtesy to tag other people after you've been tagged in a post like this? If that's the case, I'll tag @spiralled-fury, @solradguy, @swamppossum, @five-by-five, @northstarring, @ineedmoredragons and @tbonechessor!
