#more writing later i hope <3

[polaris-likethestar]

no bc me being a poolverine shipper aside, wade and vanessa getting back together doesn't rly make sesne bc hear me out (for the record js wanna say i love vanessa sm)

so basically in the part when wade was w logan at the subway station and they were ab to die, in the flashback it was like "vanessa. i wanna see vanessa" and that was like the climax of the film. the big, dramatic scene everyone was waiting for.

after that it's over.

let me use an analogy to explain this - i did theater camp over the summer, and i had a crush on this girl. this was a bit b4 the show and then i was js so excited for the show and we were almost there and we were so stressed and finally, we did it. then it was over. then i stopped liking her. the big event was over, the thing that was holding us together, its done. im over it. im over her.

the movie happened, it was great, the adventure changed wade, but suddenly its over. that chapter of his life, similar to my theater analogy, is over. he's still close friends w vanessa, the same way im still close w my ex crush but ultimately its over. they served a purpose for each other and now they got passed it.

(ACT 3/4 OPTIONAL ACHIEVEMENT SPOILERS) Wanted to practice more writing and decided to do this quick drabble based on this illustration that @startagainaprologue made for his isat randomized roleswap au! Writing is under the cut:

<You wait for her to touch you.>

< As you stand there and wait you are suddenly hit with a realization.>

< A very obvious one, if you’re being truthful with yourself. >

< She will never be the one to reach out to touch you first. >

< Euphrasie is polite like that.>

< It isn’t to say that she’s afraid of touch. >

< Quite the opposite, actually.>

< Euphrasie is nothing like you.>

< You’ve seen her for dozens of loops hug the people in your party.>

< She enjoys showing that type of affection to others. It makes her happy.>

< She will always hesitate on giving it when it comes to you.>

< Even though you know now what she wanted to say to you.>

< You know you know you know but it can’t be real until you put pen to paper.>

< You want it be the truth so badly. >

=> < Keep waiting. >

=> < Rewrite the script. >

=> < Keep waiting. >

< You wait. >

<…>

< Nothing changes. >

< Why? Why do you keep doing that? Why are you still waiting? >

< Is it really that enjoyable to revisit the same old story again and again? >

< Do you enjoy torturing yourself that much?>

< This will continue to go on like this if you don’t make the first step. >

< Ah, what did she say a few loops ago? “Be the change you wish to see in the world?” >

< Well, here you are. >

< You’re in the same spot as always. >

< She says the same lines. She reaches out to you- for just a moment before remembering her role. >

< She starts to lower her hand away.>

< You wish to change the way this ends. >

< There’s a common saying that repeating the exact same actions and expecting different results is nothing short of insanity. >

<…>

< So what will you do? >

=> < Keep waiting.>

=> < Rewrite the script. >

=> < Rewrite the script. >

((“Oh! Hello Odile! It’s very good to see-”))

((“…-You?”))

((…?!))

< You lunge forward.>

((“Odile? Are you-“))

((“Ah-!”))

< You embrace her. >

< Euphrasie feels warm and comforting. >

< Far brighter than the sun that’s currently shining down upon on the two of you. >

< You hold unto her. >

< You smile. >

< You open your eyes and look up. >

< Euphrasie is… >

<…?! >

< She’s frowning. >

< You freeze. >

< You quickly let go and move away. >

< You feel cold. >

< Why? >

<Why does she look like that?>

< Why why why why wh- >

< You feel a tug on your stomach and you- >

<……>

< “Hello, Euphrasie. After hearing what you said earlier…I wanted to conduct private investigation on the Favor Tree.” >

< “.. I’d like to get it done sooner, rather than later since we have a finite amount of time on our hands.” >

((“Oh okay! I don’t mean to distract you, Odile.”))

< She smiles at you. >

< You don’t make the mistake of smiling back at her again. >

((“.. So intense..!”))

((“ But in all seriousness, I'll let you go. See you at the Clocktower!”))

There is still so much I need to read and process about the information that was just released, but first I need to say this: THANK YOU POMME AND DAPPER ADMINS!!!

You both are amazing and I want you guys to know that you will always be beloved by all of us here on Tumblr. I'm so serious.

For months, I have loved staying up very late with y'all, watching and liveblogging everything that you guys got up to. You guys made such interesting characters and your efforts will never be forgotten.

Almost every night, you brought smiles to my face and brought inspiration to this entire fandom. Whether it was fluff or angst, you both breathed life into a game of Minecraft in such a cool way. So many amazing works and moments were created because of how much you guys put into this project, and all of us here know how deeply you cared.

In case you're looking around here on Tumblr, I need you to see this and know the positive impact you both have had. So from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU! <3 <3

*lovingly tackles Aine*

Read my Yandere! Pierro longfics first ♪( ´▽｀)

Last week, my beloved mutual @ainescribe surprised me with Savior! Darling fan art and AHAI9232@2-!/! CRYING SCREAMING I WANT TO LOOK AT THIS ART AND WORSHIP YOUR VERSION OF SAVIOR THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BLESSING ME WITH YOUR ART—

*clears throat* Anyway, now that I finally have the time to properly sit down and comment on the fan art, I’ll do just that. Feedback will be in the tags and it will be unhinged. Once again, thank you so much to Aine for drawing this <3

[jenivi]

the little flying pearl robot is so cute!! i love her lil crown, the little flaps that look like her tentacles, and the eyes and eyebrows!! im betting marina made it for her💗 its like their child

marina, in this trailer, doesnt seem to be speaking through the same mic with pearl like octo expansion. so if were looking at it in a positive-nothing-bad-happened-to-marina light, marina has her own robot that isnt shown in the trailer. but my main guess is that something happened to marina like being sucked in like dedf1sh and lost within wherever they are

[deoidesign]

I was scrolling and saw your art and it made me really happy because I realized you made time and time again!!!

It’s literally one of my favorite things I’ve ever read, so cool!!!

This is so sweet, thank you for sharing!

It's sort of "illusion breaking" so to speak, to think of my art being both out there in a way that someone could happen upon it, and then further that someone may happen upon it twice, and finally that on doing so they find it recognizable...

I always think of myself and my work as something that sort of sits behind the curtain. The idea that it might take up space in this way is unreal!

This is the kind of thing that means more than you could imagine.

So thank you!

[uwudonoodle]

I started watching Kimi ni Todoke again, so I can catch up before starting the new season. I'm only like 17 minutes into the first episode and I'm already crying over how wholesome and sweet they are to each other.

Best romance ever! I don't ever want to hear that romance needs contrived drama and toxicity to be interesting. All I need is two people getting to know each other, and being nice to each other the whole time.

[poorlydrawndirk]

We're on air.

More precisely, I was on air when I recorded this, but the details are largely irrelevant. Because I don't really feel like covering fuckin' introductory quantum mechanics and telling you exactly how the influence of the Skaian universe, when applied at the quark level and taken alongside the probabilistic effect of quantum behavior, superposes via particle states and results in the formation of what you might refer to as "overlapping timelines". And that's already getting real abecedarian about this shit.

Yeah, sue me. Try boning up on basic physics while you're at it.

So. I'm sure you'd love to hear about how I managed to rig this sick as hell channel-cum-blog up and get it to straddle the space-time continuum like an antediluvian Olympic gymnast doing mad splits over baby's first toy pony, but that ain't the point of this little exercise. Posting what's effectively a vlog is enough of an onanistic venture without adding Skaian Principles For Dummies: Electric Boogaloo to the schedule.

Where was I?

(Rhetorical question. Don't answer, if it needed to be said.)

The name's Dirk.

Strider. Yeah, that Strider.

I'd be more worried about internet safety, but seeing as there are only up to two people alive around here no matter how far you pull my timeline back, and I'm one of 'em, it doesn't exactly compute. Face it, brosephine: you aren't getting to year 24xx post-hilarocaust, and you sure aren't getting past that. Wasn't shat out of a lab yet when you were committing identity theft and scamming doddering old ladies out of their sadsack pensions.

(If you manage to get pizza delivered out here, I'll tip extra.)

Besides, you already knew my name, didn't you?

Maybe your next question's going to be:

"Why are you calling this a vlog when it's obviously just a blog?"

Or maybe,

"Why is your URL poorlydrawndirk when it's totally malapropos?"

Buckle in, kids. Strap yourself into that convertible toddler-safe harness and keep your ass glued tight to all the prime polyester-lined foam, because this ride's about to pull into the station and vehicular standards are some passé 21st century horseshit.

The first thing you have to understand is that even peering upon the brink of these echelons of irony is a skill that you'll never grasp in your life. But that's fine. I'm around. And if it puts your mind at ease,

I'll be the one pulling the strings here.

(There's the tired callback. It's not wrong, but it's tired. Worn out enough for it to be begging you to take it out back behind the shed and put it out of its misery.)

(I'll leave it at that for now, because self-referencing is one thing, but if I get any more meta, I'll have to start narrating in twelve-point Times New Roman.)

Anyway, I'll be breaking it down, just this once. Magnanimous as hell, I know. I could wax poetic and in doing so obfuscate the actual meaning once more from obtuse minds, thereby adding another strata to irony so layered that it's settled past sedimentary and is ready to unearth some fossil formations, but let's be real. That shit would fly over your head so far it'd be trying to dial ground control at Houston.

Here we go.

Vlogs aren't cool; making one ironically is.

Putting in this much effort into making a multiversal vlog makes it cooler, ironically.

Putting in this much effort to make a multiversal vlog when the doomed timelines are all inherently fuckin' doomed, as the name implies, and therefore functionally useless to communicate with, makes it more ironic.

I have Heart powers and am able to achieve my ultimate self through my alpha timeline. Therefore, not only is this pimped-out vlog functionally useless, but I actually don't need it at all.

Which means this wasn't too hard to set up to begin with. Ironic, considering the complex presupposed conditions necessary for bridging that 'verse gap.

And despite framing this as a vlog, this is obviously a blog.

Even though it's just a blog, all these drawings I've made had you convinced that I really thought I was posting a vlog.

And in a way, I'm still making one. It ain't the traditional format, but the almost videographic mannerisms I've been laying on you more than compensate for the fact that the video part of "vlog" doesn't exist.

Except it does, for me.

And because it does, none of these pictures are drawn to begin with. They're all film stills. Screenshots, if you prefer.

Which makes the qualifier of "poorly drawn" untrue.

But it's also almost true, because you can call them poorly drawn by virtue of them not even being drawn. Ride that definition of "poorly" down the one-way rail and you're here, selfie central, population two, me and you.

Of course, that means we have to cover the quandary of truth itself. What constitutes the truth? Titillate that thought for a second.

If I consider the attached files to be selfies, but you consider them to be illustrations, which is it actually?

An analysis of the "truth" means that we have to start delineating how much of this is subjective, tying us in bed with the concept of knowledge. The Socratic take calls for dialectical conversation and inquiry via questioning; therefore, if I just bequeath my knowledge to you on a pretty little metaphorical platter, it won't mean fuckall. So we have to keep digging. Get your pickaxe ready, 'cause we ain't hitting any diamonds of wisdom any time soon.

In fact, maybe that ain't the right direction. Flip it turnways. We gotta climb a li'l higher for what we need.

Maybe we gotta head to the roof.

now. brought cal.

where making this HAPEN.

Haha.

Just fuckin' with you.

Welcome to my blog, dude.

Want water? Imagine I got you a nice, chilled glass.

Let's get this parasocial relationship pumping.

Questions? Concerns? Misguided pseudo-parental queries about whether or not it's safe for your pipsqueak to be exposed to a full dose of radically Stridered bullshit?

Cool.

Make it all three and drop it in the asks, yeah?

[swordheld]

how did u choose your username?

oh, this is a fun one!! i think i considered being swordtold at first, for that very ancient myth vibe of the sword being this narrative tool for adventure and structure and physical time, the parable being passed down through the centuries until it meddles into modern day rhetoric and ideology – a kind of fantastical tool, a spark of magic, of possibility.

i like the arc of the story of a place being physical / having it be held by time and hand alike, wearing with the years and having it become something different to each holder, each reader, each experience fantastical and individual.

having that kind of physicality to it; swordheld is the action of taking up and holding the sword yourself, choosing your own narrative, leading your own story. self-identity has always been something i struggle with (a novel concept i know, i know), so it felt right for this blog, since most of my older blogs before this one have been just me silently reblogging and never really posting anything myself, and i wanted this to be the change to that.

i've always had trouble wranging my social anxiety, esp. on the internet, and previously thought that keeping my words to myself helped keep the timeline cleaner, in a way, no messy thoughts for others to sort through, especially ones i believed no one would want to read anyway? but it never felt right, keeping myself apart from it all, esp. not in the way i so avidly enjoyed reading others' posts and additions, keeping their words close to my heart.

i wanted it to reflect that this was a space i was holding for myself? and i'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes, but this - this i think i got right. i love being here, on this blog, and the joy that it brings me. everyone else enjoying it too has been a wild ride that i never expected, and still surprises me, one that brings a little extra thrill to my heart whenever i think about it.

i had other urls that i liked, but i didn't want this blog to be tied directly to any of my fandom/story interests, since i wanted it to really just be a sort of archive of artistic inspiration and resource, like a little library or museum. i use them now as lil sideblogs of more niche interests now, which is rather lovely.

it hasn't always felt like it fit perfectly, the way that i'd like, but for some reason i can't think of really wanting to change it anytime soon. it feels mythic yet modern in a way that feels like puzzle pieces finally slotting into their place, something my own and inspirational to me, like a lantern i'm holding to make my way by. my own kind of light, if that makes sense – a star i know by name.

Morning Kiss

(Day 3 @steddie-week: First kiss)

It was a bright and early Saturday morning at the Harrington house. Eddie was making breakfast for the bunch that stayed at Steve's house after a movie night that went on too long.

It was still quiet as the young teens were still sleeping and there was still no movement or sound coming from Steve's room where Robin and Steve had crashed the night before.

The only noise that could be heard was the sizzling that came from the eggs on the pan and surprisingly Eddie was enjoying the peace and quiet.

Until a loud thud and a scream could be heard from upstairs

"SHIT!" Robin screamed "Steve we're late!"

Eddie chuckled at his friend's antics and started playing some scrambled eggs on toast so they could eat it on the go.

As Eddie heard more thuds and the shower starting, the kids started to stir at the commotion.

"Breakfast is ready!" Eddie said cheerily to Dustin, who was the first of the kids to reach the kitchen as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

"What's going on?"

"Oh nothing new, they overslept again"

Dustin raised an eyebrow at that.

"Did you not check they were up when you got up?"

"Nope," Eddie said with a mischievous glint in his eyes and a small smirk on his face.

"It's more fun this way"

As more of the kids made their way to the kitchen, Eddie heard the shower turn off and a few minutes later Robin bounced down the stairs toweling her hair.

"Let's go Dingus!" Screamed Robin as she made her way to the kitchen and grabbed one of the toasts from the plate Eddie set out for them.

"You could've woke us up asshole!" She said with her mouth full as she nudged Eddie harshly but smiling nonetheless. "But this IS delicious so I'll forgive you"

Eddie smiled and nudged her back and went back to eating his breakfast along with the still sleepy kids.

The moment Robin finished her food she slammed her hand on the table startling everyone at the table and called out to Steve.

"STEVE IF YOU DON'T COME DOWN HERE IS THE NEXT MINUTE I SWEAR!"

"Jesus Christ Robin! Warn a guy!" Eddie yelped.

"Sorry." Robin said as she smiled, not looking sorry at all.

"Steve we are so late Keith is going to fire you! Let's go!"

"Hey! Why would he just fire me?" Steve said as he went down the stairs as he tried to put on his work vest with one hand and shakedown his damp hair with the other.

"Shit my keys!" Steve mumbled as he went back up the stairs.

The kids in the kitchen laughed at the antics of their friends.

"Steve, come on!" Robin yelled from the door.

Steve then ran down the stairs keys in hand.

"Breakfast!" Eddie called out as Steve passed the kitchen. Steve ran back, grabbed the toast and kissed Eddie softly on the lips.

"Thanks Eds! Love you bye!" Steve said as he bolted out the door.

Eddie just stood there in the kitchen, arm still stretched out blinking slowly, not really believing that happened.

After a moment of silence in the kitchen Dustin asks,

"Has that ever happened before?"

"No, it has not Henderson. No it has not"

[goldenhypen]

; ⎯ GOLDENHYPEN’S DARK BLOOD REQUEST EVENT ?! [CLOSED]

in celebration of enhypen’s new comeback, dark blood, i will be opening drabble requests! here are the rules:

send me an ask with:

one prompt from this list;

an enhypen member of your choice;

any storyline/details/genres you’re eager to read.

reminder that this is a sfw blog, meaning, all works are sfw skdjdj

only one request per ask please!

you can submit multiple requests, just separate them into one req per ask.

please be patient! i’ll try to get all requests out asap but please understand that i do have a life outside of tumblr too :)

i would also suggest reading the general req rules before submitting anything just in case; if i receive a request that breaks any of these, i’ll have to turn it down :(

also to clarify, the drabbles don’t have to do anything with dark blood or the concept or anything (unless you want it to be!) i just thought doing prompt requests again would be fun at a time like this!

and another thing, because these will be drabbles, this means your request will likely not end up being over 1k words.

i don’t have a deadline yet but for now i’ll aim to keep it open for a week or so (keep an eye on my pinned post to see the status of requests). happy requesting! REQUESTS ARE NOW CLOSED!

[dennisboobs]

do you guys ever sit and remember that dennis takes a mental health day is an episode that exists

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh today I've been constantly experiencing the urge to un-private today-in-the-devildom & start writing for it again

[the-greek-mythos-project]

The Greek Mythos Project: What We Accept Within Submissions

Hello everyone, it is once again Camila here and I am writing this post because I decided I should probably clarify things sooner than later. I know I and quite a few other lovely people can struggle with open barriers within things, especially in such a large and "imposing" project, so I decided to write down the general specifics of things to lessen everyone's anxiety. This can and will definitely be improved if we are given more information/questions/asked for clarification so feel free to check every once in a while or reach out if you don't see a specific question you have answered. This is once again here to promote better communication within things and break down this large project to more manageable things. So, let's get into it!

[Note: This post will go from the broader, more unspecific, topics to the smaller, more specific ones so feel free to scroll down or up as you please :)]

The Biggest Thing First! One Singular POV. This is something that I, Camila, want for the project and therefore, it will be the most enforced thing within here. Don't worry, though! We will be releasing a Second Work alongside this main project consisting of things that didn't quite fit into the original project, such as works that aren't exactly (or at all) one POV but still want to be recognized or OC pieces that are like reincarnations of various gods/mortals/characters which I'll get into later. So you work has a place with us, I promise you <3.

Anyway, back to the One Singular POV thing. It genuinely does not matter whether the piece is First Person, Second Person, Third Person, or something within those parameters as long as the setting, scene, thoughts, and work are being described in that one character's thoughts/experiences. A great example of this in Third Person is in the Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan, a popular YA Book Series centering around Greek Mythology in a Modern Setting told by their Demigod Children, where the narrative is in Third Person POV but it only ever follows whoever's POV it's in. Such as we do see the character's actual name and "he/she/they" instead of "I" but we're not privy to anything other than what the character is experiencing.

That is what I am asking for, and I am asking for this mostly for myself!) As we all may know by now, this project was created because I--Camila--took one look at my goal to rewrite the entirety of Greek Mythology in my search to learn more about the Greek Myths, was like "yeah... no," and then proceeded to make this public with the intent to bring out those niche writers, gain a community, make friends, and generally learn more about the various communities and ideas surrounding such a vast and deep thing such as Greek Mythology (remember, people not only know this across the globe, but across centuries. It's not just our ideas and the original texts, it's the Roman Empire's thoughts, the Rise of Christianity, all of our forefathers, and even those who we have read dissecting these things and creating academic papers or other works. It's just so interesting how much character and change and even how much influence various things have had on our modern perceptions). But, this is also a Project, this is also mine, and so I am very politely asking for it to be One POV of a Greek Mythological Character--However Niche They May Be--Only.

Thank you so much for understanding and, again, I will be hosting a Secondary Fic for all the things that don't quite fit under this Main Project but may still want to have the recognition/community that this comes with <3.

Note!! Because this post ended up being a little long and would be hard to properly organize going further, the rest of it will be comprised in reblogs <33
