[kilopascals]

PLEASE i need tokyo ghoul reanimated. i want the hype. i want the same accuracy as the fullmetal alchemist reboot. the hype for hidekane would be so unreal i just need it please

[elodieunderglass]

So for some more details:

- I am fairly time-poor with a huge amount of commitments: Grownup Job Senior Promotion, three small kids on summer holidays/starting school, writing a novel fanfic for sick friend, peak growing/harvest season at allotment, etc. so im only offering “what I can actually deliver” at this time

- swan comic is a new idea, people like those don’t they? Not sure of how fundraising mechanism would work here but maybe taking prompts?

- not sure how essay would work but it’s probably my best/most appealing skill?

- material items in exchange for a minimum fixed amount. So offline I’m most known for material works. I’m not a BAD printmaker / craftworker and for this I would be looking at designing a sort of limited print run of greeting card style original hand printed prints. I know you guys aren’t familiar with this work from me, so this would involve a bit of trust that An Art from me would be worth at least £5 lmao. However it’s kind of nice to get something real in the mail right??

- super worried about fandom auction so this would be mostly a register of interest that I’d take to more experienced people and use as leverage to start an auction; I’m not in a great place to provide much actual legwork here. I also have huge guilt from like 2000-something where someone paid A HUNDRED AND LIKE 20 DOLLARS to charity for earthquake survivors and I DID NOT FINISH THE FIC AND I HAD to write to them, weepingly, apologising forever about it, and they were so graceful, they forgave me and wrote off my fandom auction contribution, but I had never watched the tv show they requested and was in the process of romancing dr glass and it all went SO wrong, this MIGHT heal my scars of shame from fandom auctions generally OR might make them worse. It itvery hard to write fic actually it’s my worst skill pls don’t pick this

Anyway

I will dance like a monkey and get sick kids out of Gaza. What would you like to see most?

"salvation", feat. viktor.

summary: you come to his temple and ask the herald to heal you.

word count: 540.

content warning: season 2, arc 2 spoilers!!! please, don't read if you haven't seen the series yet! some descriptions might sound even a bit sexual but this is a sfw work! i just got a bit carried away while writing sensations lol. also, viktor may be a little ooc since im still getting used to him on the new season.

author notes: i rushed this one hehe but its finally complete! i really wanted to write something based on season 2 and the insane amount of people saying things as such "i would join his church wtvr" or "i may believe in god now" made me think why not write this kind of thing happening? so here it is :))))

you heard the rumors spreading through the lanes, there was someone, a “savior”, helping the ones in need – the shimmer addicts, the sick and the dying. and you thought that maybe the herald, as they called him, could save you.

so you walked down the busy streets, passing by empty shops and crowded brothels, finally descending in the dark alleys until light reached your eyes again, revealing a bright environment, made with metal, all with different colors and textures, molded into organic shapes, like it was meant to be like this all along. contorted yet so beautiful. outside the arch separating the commune and the commoners, there were people just like you, asking for help and hoping for his salvation.

a man walked towards you, the white clothing draped around him accentuating the swirly metallic patterns engraved on his body. “if you have something that could possibly harm someone, i must ask you to leave those here. this is a place of peace”, you discarded everything you could think of, emptying all pockets you had and he looked at you with empathy on his eyes, while you left behind everything that you used during your worst times, letting go of a part of your story, letting go of your past self. “now, you shall come. he is expecting you.”

the man walked in front of you, guiding your path between tents full of people, healthy people, all dressed in white. some adults were working while the kids were playing and you were in pure awe, it all seemed so... perfect. a miracle that happened on the underground.

“the herald is waiting, you must go”, he gestured towards a round temple-like structure, tilting his head and leaving you alone shortly after, moving to the arch again.

you followed his words, walking till you reached where the herald was, in fact, waiting for you. flowing hair and royal blue fabric covering his glowing purple skin, all adorned with golden accents. he looked ethereal, almost inhuman, a god-like figure, a saint. the kind of saint that could fix the broken. fix you.

you came closer and he extended his hand in your direction without saying a word – it was not needed, actually –, you could sense his intentions, it was kind of a vibration, radiating off his fingers. he wanted to save you. so, when he touched your forehead, the whole world seemed to fade with a burst of light and all you could do was to feel. feel his cold fingers pressing further in your skin, feel the jolts it sended through your body, the way it ignited something deep inside of you, how you couldn't breathe, the way your veins burned and your heart rate increased, but it didn't hurt at all, instead, you felt alive. the metal fusing with your body, the magic circling both of you, how you could feel him inside of you, changing, morphing and purifying your flesh. it felt like you ascended to heaven and came back different, new, evolved. gloriously evolved.

he pulled back his arm, allowing your body to fall to its knees, and he knelt too, leaning on his staff, looking at you with his emotionless iridescent eyes, “now, you need not suffer anymore.”

Hearing that Chris Evans is coming back to the mcu is really making me anticipate a similar announcement coming for Scarlett Johansson sooner or later purely bc I’m sure 6/6 ogs returning would be better than 5/6 and she’s the last one left to not either be still active in the mcu or have a return announced

* Also I’d be kinda pissed if they brought all the other ogs back for this movie and left her out bc they kinda have a tendency to leave out ‘the girl’ sometimes (still not over the fact that they used the soul stone plotline to chuck their two most important female characters/*the* female members of their two main teams off a cliff) (tho at least we got to see the guardians mourning gamora for more than two seconds)

Happy Birthday, Hound Dog

OTP: Like Napalm

inspired by a sketch @blackrevell did some while ago of Aon sitting at a campfire at a lake. I thought it might be nice if she didn't need to go there alone.

It’s a good few weeks, and it feels like everyone’s back on track, settling into their lives again, figuring everything out one day at a time. Buck’s happy. He has his awesome girlfriend, his best friend seems finally more at ease, even if the divorce is adding some stress, and his other best friend is happier than ever with his mom around. Everything’s finally starting to go great.

And then it all gets disrupted again.

i swear next week of internship will kill me (i say as if this week didn't already kill me)

[kalosian-woods]

Oh yes please, more Clemont lore where you at🙏

Arghhh, where do I even begin?? ^^'

Clemont is pretty interesting as a guy when you consider what the anime decided to give us (very little). When he was a wee lad he got sent to the academy (is it caps? is it a uni? idk) by his father, and presumably Bonnie was pretty young at that time with the whole way that Ms Eclair was talking about her. I personally want to believe that Clemont didn't make as much friends as he claimed in-canon, because, I mean, look at him! He's a young little kid walking around with the big kids and having a vocabulary set wider than most of these people combined. While they're learning about circuits he's creating laser rays. And with his disposition and introverted personality I doubt he went out of his way to socialise, which is why I feel like he clicked with Shinx a whole bunch. Rare Electric Type who likes to play around? That's best friend material to baby Clemont right there, no questions asked. Why would he need anyone else?

Before then, though, I'm totally going with what the teraleak gave us about Clemont and Bonnie's mother about how she died with childbirth. Gonna be real with you here, I didn't think about the mother much while I was watching through the first time-- so many anipoke kids just don't have full sets of parents, if any, that it's hard to see it as a glaring absence. But the mother being gone in such a way really casts a very interesting light on the family's dynamics and the way they interact with the world around them (even if it is morbid): with Meyer being very hands-free with the kids and letting them grow however they want to (and not relying on him...), Bonnie asking out those girls for Clemont to have a support system and find someone who he can connect to, Clemont just being a worrywart in and of itself and trying to plan for every eventuality... it all stacks up heh. Going to go a little further with this and say that the mother might even have a connection with the Gym, which can explain why Clemont and Bonnie stay there more than, idk, their actual family home and Clemont taking up the position as early as he did. As a last place of connection, if anything else.

I also love love love the idea of Clemont being first interested in springs and that's how his father kinda started him on the path of ✨ inventions and science ✨ lol. Just imagine a little Clem just wandering around the shop getting a bunch of tools and holing himself up in his room. After the twenty-third time, Meyer had to stop Ampharos from being in charge of the toolbox for the next few years because clearly it was being biased (and couldn't resist baby eyes) (who was he kidding, he was the same way too). It was a really good father-and-son bonding activity except that of course Meyer had to mind the shop and the finances and a crying baby Bonnie, and he didn't want Clemont to be left alone or hamper his creativity or make him rely on his old man for too long.

And that's how, after some time, he had to make the decision to send that kid to a school that can help expand his horizons. After some searching the academy seemed to be the perfect place, and, well, Clemont seemed to really enjoy it. He looked so happy, in his element, away from home.

Meyer just wanted his kids to live a good life.

Clemont on the other hand was initially very scared and didn't know what to do, especially since the academy was pretty out there and nothing like busy and formal Lumiose. People gossiped, natural treelines existed and the closest people to him were his instructors. But, of course, Shinx made it a ton easier and he learnt to have fun and got all absorbed in the whole thing; he still had frequent video calls to home and missed his family, but he was growing here as well. And people seemed to think he was good, better, greater than, so he had to live up to those expectations.

Yadda yadda the whole ceremony problem and Clemont lost Shinx, got grand but ultimately empty accolades, and was (to his own perception at least) forced out of the academy and back into Lumiose. And that whole culture shock along with losing his only friend along with finally seeing his family again but they're older, it's different now that he can touch them, might've really startled Clemont a lot. He goes and retreats into himself and his room, building inventions day after day because that's what he's supposed to do, and catches his own Electric Pokemon as soon as he possibly could.

Bonnie doesn't really know any better because her memories are sort of hazy with the pre-academy life, but she knows that something is up, at least a little. She endeavours to make her big bro smile and laugh and get all chatty again and her first choice is getting him hooked up. What? He clearly needs a ladies touch to get him outside, that's what all the boys and girls are about (Lilia a few seasons away from shaking up that worldview lol). And Meyer? Well, he just thinks that it's the cost of growing up. Who is he to say that it's wrong? It's Clemont's choice, no matter what it is. As long as he's not, oh, I don't know, hanging off Prism Tower then everything is all right.

And speaking off, moving into Prism Tower looked like a pretty easy affair considering how most of the time the gang sleeps over at Meyer's when they're in Lumiose City. I feel like there isn't much space for beds around there but Clemont can sleep on anything (/deg) and he gave Bonnie the good bed and the good room. Prism Tower just looks very minimalist to me, if you catch my drift. Like how does he have room for the Gym (one whole level), the lab and all of his gear?? And not offer his friends space here?? Eh that's a question for another time. But yeah, I lost my point here lol. But we know the rest anyways with what happened at the Gym after a while...

Of course, I'm going to expand on this as I go through this series and rewatch XY like 10 more times + some ideas I want to keep to myself until the fics pop up, but for now these are pretty good starting points heh. My brain is fuzzy so there might be more ideas?? But I wanted to get these out and let you have some fun while waiting for the next fics (taking forever with my workload as it is). Thanks a lot for the question though, I've got to do a Clem appreciation/analysis post one day <33 :D

[joeytime]

noooooooooo Williams how could you?

[thatfaerieprincess]

Not to be one of those guys but WHY can't I take my 5 month old dog into the grocery store????? You can take your screaming baby???? My puppy is just as small, just as baby, honestly he's quieter than most babies, he smells about as much as the average baby, he produces less goop on average than a baby!!! Please I am just one gremlin with one tiny four legged child and I can't leave him in the car bc it's hot and I can't leave him in the crate at home bc he's been in the crate literally all day while I was at work!! Which I already feel terrible about!!! Come on!! How am I supposed to get groceries or any of the other things!!! I get it some ppl are afraid or allergic but im not letting him clobber people in stores!! He is 10 whole pounds okay he is literally smaller than some babies

[pettydiazmybeloved]

I’ve seen people saying that the cheerleader convo with the kid’s dad is a one way ticket to gay Eddie

And while I don’t disagree because it needs to happen and I love how they’re planting enough seeds that even if people don’t get it NOW, they’ll get it when they look back, I have another thought

Eddie said something to the other dad that was like “maybe he’s not reaching out because he’s waiting for you to come” and I’m like. Edmundo Diaz do you hear yourself. Go pick up your teenager baby right tf now. He does not need space he needs his dad.
