Feeding my son who was 37 minutes old at the time a healthy amount of alcohol

Reference under the cut

I just saw this and KNEW that I had to draw Purse and his beautiful son Killerwatt. But Purse is better than feeding his son vodka so he gave him wine instead

I wake up all groggy after a night out feeling cold..? I go to grab my quilt only to realise that im not in my room and never made it home..

I go to sit up and get tugged back by the heavy chain around my neck. My stomach strapped down to the table im presented on.. My tits are aching and swollen. Littered with bite marks and large cuts. I look to my legs to see them bent and tied together, my hairy boycunt on display as the lights in the room suddenly turn on. The bright white light scares me as i hear a deep voice laugh being me.

"Oh, bunny... you're finally awake~..." the mans voice trails off as my body reacts to his scent. My hole quickly leaking all over the table and against my will. I can't be this turned on by someone i havent even seen yet and kidnapped by!!

They yank my hair and force me to look up. Pulling my jaw open and forcing some tablets into my mouth. I go to scream after i swallow but nothing comes out.. His hands linger on my body as he walks around to my dripping bunnycunt. His face is covered by a black mask. Only his eyes peaking through his hair as he lines himself up.

How long have i been crying for?? Why cant i feel my legs or hands anymore?? I begin to shake my head and attempt to scream again as he forces his large knot into my boypussy.

"Oh sweetheart... you dont know how long ive been waiting to do this...." is all i hear before the loud wet sounds of our bodies connecting fill the run-down room. My body not listening to my brain as i cum again and again... becoming my stalkers rapesleeve overnight...

From the depths of the Warp came a cry-- it reverberated across the Immaterium, breaking free from the farthest depths where not even the Chaos Gods could reach-- that rattled the minds of psykers. Astropaths, diviners, it did not matter. The only thing that could be heard from their mouths was one single name: the Anathema.

His earthen-toned hands grabbed at brimstone, he pulled himself through the murky nothingness and into the realms of the Four Gods-- through the Land of the Plague Lord and his Garden, through the Realm of the Sorcerers and the horrid Labyrinth, through the Dark Prince's Realm, and through the Blood God's Domain... And then, with what strength He had, knowing He would not survive the depths of realspace without His power armor, He opened a portal instead of going through the Eye of Terror.

The Compassion shard's broken body tumbled through the portal as it quickly shut behind Him. Dim yellow eyes scanned blankly at His surroundings where He managed to stand... though, He wobbled.

And then, He crumpled, dropping to His knees and falling face-first against the ground.

The Emperor was unrecognizable-- here, He did not look like a divine entity, but a broken (and unnaturally tall) man, covered in gashes and scratches, in dirt and soot and ash-- by all accounts, He looked like a mutant.

Wherever He was, this was not Holy Terra like He intended, nor was it anywhere He recognized. He could swear He heard footsteps, yet... He was slipping into unconsciousness. May the universe help whoever it was that approached the weakened God-Emperor, because they most likely DID NOT know what they were getting into...

Sevika's Ironic End

Somehow Sevika wound up in a more unenviable position than Vander was in. Sure she's a councilor, but realistically that position is a ticking timebomb.

Inevitable Infighting

Not only is Sevika representing at least half of a city-state in one seat, but the coalition that backs her, were recently just beefing, because they want and do different things. Based on a newspaper clipping in Act 2 of Jinx Fixes Everything, the Firelights were fighting the chembarons (or atleadt the remnants of their gangs. The Jinxers were at the forefront fighting against Piltover's occupation (as far as we can tell "Paint the Town Blue"), and the chembaron lackeys are just self-interested goons.

The only reason they coalesced was because the unifying philosophy of fuck that guy. Except now that guy (Piltover) is supposed to be their ally, and there's no actual ideology holding Sevika's coalition together. Sevika has Scar at her side for now, but how long until resentment bubbles from the other factions that want more influence. But even then that influence doesn't mean much because Sevika's is at the mercy of the Council.

An Obstructive Council

It's no secret that many members on the Council are opposed Sevika's new role as a councilor. Instead of just blocking Sevika's proposals as some speculate, the anti-Zaun faction could just move to remove her. The council voted to remove Heimerdinger, they almost moved to remove Jayce, but he was able to secure his position by leveraging shares of hextech. What exactly could Sevika leverage to even stay on the council?

Sevika not only doesn't have shimmer, but there's a derivative on the market that Piltovans are already buying. She doesn't have much to threaten them with at this point. Every chembaron that dealt with weapons in some capacity (Silco, Jinx, Renni, Finn, and Smeech) are all dead, gone, or both. And even if she tried, the occupation proved once more that just like on the Bridge, Piltover can and will crush her people. They didn't need hextech to do it. Piltover still has guns and artillery while Zaun is largely back to melee weapons.

One-Sided Dependence

Unless Silco didn't store all his blackmail material in the ashen remains of The Last Drop, the only cards Sevika has to play are her potential allies in Caitlyn and Shoola, which could end as well as Vander and Grayson's partnership. The only real cards Sevika has It's true that Shoola has been positioned as Sevika's ally in the council, but that lands Sevika in the same position as Vander, where her Piltovan counterpart is supposed to be her equal partner, but ultimately holds power her like Grayson did with Vander. Sevika needs Shoola for the most basic things like seconding a motion for any of Sevika's potential bills to be put for actual discussion let alone an actual vote. There is nothing stopping Shoola from simply saying no to Sevika's ideas, just like there was nothing holding Grayson back from putting her enforcers to heel when they swept through Zaun.

Sevika works with Shoola (and probably Caitlyn) out of the necessity of survival, while the latter do it out of their conscience. The stakes aren't the same, and so they don't have the same kind of urgency. Marcus was a far more effective partner to Silco, than Grayson was to Vander not because he thought allowing his enforcers to run amuck after Jinx blew up a building, killed eight people, robbed one of their most precious innovations because it would escalate tensions and bring harm to civilians. No. Marcus did it because he had something to lose. Silco was threatening his family and reputation, and so he had a real drive to make things work between him and Silco.

How far will either Shoola or Caitlyn go for Sevika, and can it deliver a win to satisfy her people? The whole situation reminds me of this older League of Legends themed short story (it's good). It started at an orphanage in Zaun. The orphanage was established right after Zaun sunk by the Zaunite families who would go on to be the great Clans of Piltover (the ones who caused the disaster in the first place). By the following century the orphanage had fallen on hard times because those stopped funding it because they felt the gold covered the guilt enough to stop sending more. That orphanage now ran on the random patronage of a chembaron or two when they felt charmed to.

That short story isn't centrally about the orphange's disrepair it was just an effective device to succintly lay out why partnerships between Piltover, Zaun, and it's respective citizens inevitably fail. When Piltover helps, it is out of pity. It is out of charity. It is out to assuage their own guilt. There is no mechanism to hold them accountable except themselves and thus they hold all the power in how their relationship works. Sevika isn't an equal to even her allies on the Council because she's still at their pity and mercy.

god i need to draw more (dreamworks) trolls. please ask me to draw more trolls

it is insANE the kind of traction these movies are giving my brain rn

[yuzepi]

i think daisy/basira might get me the same way jonelias did bc with jonelias i was like wow this is kind of just like hannigram but slightly to the left and daisira im like oughhh. Elster and ariane. Sapphic devotion and grief and tragedy that’s perpetuated by outside forces. and also literally the words remember your promise. a journey that forces basira to confront what daisys become and who’s she trying to save/kill through her victims. plus the added complexity of it being jon living breathing evidence of the peoples she’s hurt guiding her to daisy.. wow. something in my brain is being itched.

really enjoyed the upton safehouse because of how bleak of a reminder is that there is no going back for jon. he’s too entangled with the fears he’s too deep in his curiosity that he’s deteriorating without his god. the promise of safety only suffocates him now. you benefit so much from the suffering of others that you’re just dependent on it. jon we have to euthanize you

mag 176 - mag 181 vaguely signaliscore but also lately it’s been on the back of my mind so I guess I’ve sort of hardwired myself to sniff it out. beyond daisira the giant eyeball in the sky and a reminder that nothing is for eternity. tragedy so prevalent around every corner that even comfort gives away so easily to suffering. and the perseverance and drive despite the bleak and hopeless world..

"The Pearl Girl"

[thedreadvampy]

Honestly though it's been a couple of weeks now where I'm consciously suppressing the urge to lie on the floor and weep at work. I don't know if it's the breakup or money stress or something else or all of the above but I'm in a mental state I haven't been in for a good few years and which I really thought I had left in the early years of therapy. I do not love it, quite frankly.

DING DING y'all

[neige-leblanche]

also y'all

does anybody have the original japanese of this line from book 5 ch 27???

bc rereading it i was like. O_O. is he. not talking about vil.

i was thinking like "the first read through you're definitely meant to think so, and vil did absolutely change rook's life, but with context from both book 6 and his halloween vignette, what he's describing here leans more towards the latter" which is like. masterful gaybait i can't even be mad. it's like that post saying "some gaybaiting is like a box propped up with a stick and a block of cheese underneath" except this has all the intricacy of a steampunk clock.

but my VERY shoddy japanese skills r telling me the line translates more to "beauty in your eyes and the darkness, lighting up your entire life for you—in a time in your existence when you'll be able to have [such an experience] (expanding on the prev line where he says they'll be able to understand his ideology in the future)"

^ and i probably mangled this so bad but the main point is i didn't hear him refer to a "someone" like he does in the english tl & i'm wondering if i missed it or if it was in fact added!!!
