Cleaned up the sketch of these dinkdonks a little bit. The names have stuck with me so the weirdo on the left is definitely Ono and on the right is Yudai. I still don’t know about the fox thing but calling it Mikan like the orange is pretty fuckin cute

A Princess’ Crown Jules

“…and that’s how I got my powers from Lazarus rain,” says Circuit Breaker as they are both winding down after a sparring session. 

It was a semi-regular thing since Dani first visited Nevada, and met the hero when she helped in taking down one of Circuit’s rogues. And ever since she’s been visiting when she’s in the area. Today they finished the spar a bit earlier than usual and they ended up sharing backstories back and forth all casual-like. Which is why this last tidbit rams into her like a goddamned sledgehammer. 

Lazarus rain.

Dani may be young but she’s seen lots of things on her travels, and with Lazarus water no longer being an unfamiliar term, Lazarus rain is no big stretch to make out. She still gives herself a bit of time to absorb it.

“Your power over the Still Force,” Dani confirms. “The power over all things inertia and entropy?”

“Yeah,” Circuit Breaker says raising his head a bit from the ground to look at her curiously.

Dani inhales and steeples her fingers “There’s good news and bad news,” she starts. And then, she brings her hand to her mouth and looks into the distance, searching for a way to say this.

“Bad news: you’re at least a little bit dead.”

Circuit Breaker sits up and stares. “What?”

Dani tries for a smile. “Good news: you’re also a good bit alive too!”

Luaisy's great, why does Nintendo do nothing with it?

I was thinking about Daisy's trophy celebration cutscene in Mario Power Tennis after watching a video about Luaisy, and you know what?

I'm gonna go over it bit by bit to show how one singular scene actually ends up saying ALOT about them and how they interact (which is good because it's pretty much the only cutscene they get in...anything 😭):

OK so Luigi specifically being the one to hand out her trophy isn't a big deal, he hands multiple characters their trophies, even characters he isn't particularly close to like Shy Guy and Wiggler. Still, in this case, instead of giving a formal "Congratulations" like he does with most of the other characters he gives trophies to, he excitedly goes "Oh Yeah!"

I'm actually not sure if he's trying to hype up the crowd (since he does turn towards the crowd as he says it, which is why he doesn't see Daisy coming before it's too late), or if he's just especially happy that Daisy won, but either way, I'm sensing favouritism!

But whatever, right? He likes her, we know that. The moment when this scene really starts getting good is when Daisy, wearing roller skates at her own awards ceremony by the way, zips right past him.

Not because she doesn't care about Luigi at all, she says "Hey Sweetie!" earnestly as she zooms past, that's something you only say to someone you care for. What's funny about this to me is that it shows where her priorities lie - she'd rather soak in the glory of her victory and wave at the crowd, even doing a little spin to show off as she stops. Let me be clear, I love this. I love this because it says a lot about Daisy in just a few seconds: she's sporty, she's reckless, she's a bit of a show off, she's more improper than one would typically expect from a princess, and she's prideful, although she does make sure to thank the crowd for their applause.

Luigi, in contrast to Daisy's show of energy and athleticism, is shown to be unalert and clumsy, as he doesn't move out of the way quickly enough and is left spinning. Something something opposites attract.

Daisy then says "I'll take that." in a rather brash way, before going back for the trophy. Then she either tries to grab the trophy but misses, or intentionally spins Luigi around this time just to provide an opportunity to show off, I'm honestly not too sure.

I like both possibilities, as they show either:

A) Unlike Luigi in...pretty much any game during the GameCube era up until (and after) that point (he can even be heard going "Oh nooooo..." in this very scene once the trophy slips from his grasp), she's not one to immediately panic or get worried when something goes wrong, suggesting she's more easy-going. She's also shown to be a lot more alert as she immediately circles back round, eyes only on the trophy, and expertly manages to catch it. This is also another good show of her athleticism.

or

B) Just how eager she is to show off, as she doesn't mind messing with her partner (in a way that not malicious of course) just to provide an opportunity to do a sick trick in front of an audience. She's very much not the nurturing type (good for her).

Either way, the cutscene ends with her catching her trophy and blowing a kiss to the audience. Luigi isn't even annoyed as he's once again left spinning, all he has to say is: "Nice catch" before collapsing on the stage. That guy is his girlfriend's Number 1 fan.

And that's Luaisy! An athletic, reckless, cocky, not-so-typical princess dating a very supportive, but nervous and clumsy boyfailure...

It's too bad everything they get afterwards can pretty much be summed up as: "They sure are standing next to each other."

Okay, so I’ve been gone for a few days because of work and the moment I finally finish everything and plan to enjoy my day off, I decide to take a nice long rest. But guess what? I end up having a freaking dream where I get isekaid, straight into my Farmer’s body. At that point, I just roll with it because honestly being isekaid sounds pretty cool.

Then out of nowhere Caldarus appears. He reaches for my hand, his touch sending a shiver down my spine.

"My beloved, you’re finally awake." His voice is deep, smooth...way too seductive for my sanity.

I freeze. Holy shit! He’s even more ethereal and majestic than I ever imagined, so much more than just a pixelated character on my screen.

Before I can say anything, he lifts my hand to his lips, pressing the softest kiss against my knuckles. "Have you truly forgotten me?" he murmurs, his gaze searching mine. "Or is fate merely testing me once more?"

I swear my brain short-circuits. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!

"I… I don’t understand." I stammer.

His grip tightens just slightly, his thumb tracing slow circles over my wrist. "Then allow me to remind you." he whispers, leaning in. "Body, soul and eternity. I have only ever belonged to you."

And that’s when I absolutely lose it. Oh my god. Is this a sign that I need to update my story since I have the day off?!

Now before you think I’m making this up or just being delusional, this is real. The last time I had a dream like this was back in 2020 when I dreamt about my OC self getting married to a Countryhumans character. I even made a whole comic about it!

[imwritesometimes]

I've said several times that this whole thing has been a test of the judiciary. Not a single member of this administration is stupid enough to think anything they are doing is legal or permissible under the constitution.

But if they can find judges to buck norms, and keep repeating over and over and over again this is un-American and a witch hunt, their sycophantic followers eat it up. It doesn't matter what's real or true if you repeat something enough times, we've seen that time and time again the last 15 years in America.

At a time when comprehension in general is compromised in this country, let alone historical knowledge, legal knowledge, and political knowledge, all they have to do is insist over and over again that they're allowed to do this shit.

This is why I have posted so much lately about this. It's not normal. It's not legal. It's not protected under the constitution. And at this point it's everyone's duty to say this shit.

Some sketches I've been doing

porch lights and fireflies

reader/moon, word count 1000

✨

Your socked feet quietly stalk along the hardwood. Groggily trying to evade triggering the call of creaky floors, stumbling your steps as you do. 

Led between the cracks of unpolished maple right up to the suspiciously wide open doorway. Unfocused sleepy gaze not deceiving you for once. 

Moon sat alone on the porch, huddled into himself. Dimmed painted casting blended right in with the night time sky, but his hat had always been a dead give away in the dark. 

Feeling your breath catch in your throat. So often darting away from you these days, you half expect his nimble limbs to straight up and bolt away from you into the forest. So many times as he had before. 

But you can't get your hopes up. "Hey," You say, barely above a murmur. Tightening the throw blanket wrapped around your shoulders, feeling the fibres brush up tightly along your fingertips. Time slowing almost. 

Choosing to approach. Hesitantly moving forward past the doorway, past the burn out porch lights. It shuffles further away from you, evading looking at you entirely. But not running, not bolting. 

"Good to see you." 

Polite statement radiating hollow, you could do better than that. Sitting down next to him, the squeak of protest from worn down wooden steps earning you a creaky twitch of his face plate. A faint chime of the bell from his hat. 

"go sleep." He tuts. Tone lacking the heeded warning it usually had. No walled in corridors anymore to chase you in, free reign surrounding you. 

Left fumbling on if that had been the reason you've barely seen him since the 'Plex. Sun having no answers, and leaving assurances in place of words you'd just needed to hear. Dancing around concerns with hurried careful statements, but never quick enough to turn away when a faint worried hum wobbled from his casting. 

If it's more freedom he'd wanted, that they'd both wanted, you'd be more than happy to oblige. More than happy to help if they'd just stopped reverting back to old habits. Shutting you out of whatever was happening. 

This was all still new, rubbed raw like skinned knees on asphalt. 

"Go charge." You settle on, getting much too comfortable much too quick. Sliding ever so slightly closer to him proves to be a mistake. 

Shifting away again, balancing himself half off the top step at this point, goosebumps of shame prickling along your neck. Face flush as you pull back again. 

"Sorry-.. I just- I miss you.”

Words crumbling out into the open air. Brisk cold breeze cupping your cheeks, as you hear another squeak. 

Much too sharp to emit from wood, but, there's no solace to be had if your fretting breaks the stairs. Quickly getting off the stairs, out of his space. The sprawl of cold ground trickling up your legs. 

Facing his direction upright, you catch him holding a throw blanket bundled in his lap. Little time to really question it, assuming it to be some kind of comfort. One he couldn't find with you.

Made sense, in some regard you suppose. Your visage is a direct reminder of the fever dream nightmare you'd all rescued each other from. 

Celestial bots gaze turned down away from you, pinprick pupils avoiding meeting yours at any cost. Desperate to reach out, you just can't help but open your mouth again. 

"I couldn't sleep, doesn't look like you could either. I—" 

The folded bundle on their lap, rustling and shrilling sharp. Their widened eyes meeting yours, clutching the displeased creature tighter. 

It's only now, you notice a striped bushy tail peeking out from the blanket. Wiggling and swishing in dis-contempt. 

In the end, little feisty claws are no match for his clutches. A raccoon, bolts from under the covers and out into the open. Blurry haze of fur illuminated by startled, scattered fireflies. 

Moon's stance no longer hunch, sprawling themselves out lengthwise along the steps in woeful defeat. Arms outstretched and flopped against the ground. 

That solves one problem. 

You know the answer. You know. You ask anyway.

"...You were trying to bring that inside?" You ask anyway, deadpan. Fighting the wobble of amusement threatening to upturn your mouth to a grin. 

"it's small, and alone." He mumbles. "likes peach slices." 

That. Explains why the peaches kept going missing, and Sun's insistence the fruit just goes bad super duper quick. Yet straight up refused to quit buying heaps of peaches. Glazed fruit decorated in smoothies and pies just didn't justify the madness. 

"It's got friends nearby," Leaning against the worn banister. "I'm sure of it." 

Moon hums. An off centred acknowledgement it hears you, but. He's for sure going to keep trying to bring raccoons into the house. 

No dice convincing him otherwise. Roaming around the yard, settling to lay down on a patch of overgrown grass. Your gaze trailing sleepily between the stars. 

"Is that what you've been doing out here, all this time?" 

"sometimes."  

Slinking down the rest of the stairs, crawling over to you to nestled up against your side in an impressive but entirely unnecessary half roll to get to you. 

Face plate pressed flat to the ground, theatrically slumping himself down. Like his whole body had participated in a sigh. 

A click somewhere in his upper casting, chiming alongside you as you'd giggled. 

Something gauges you'd been a front seat witness to an impatient attempt to whisk the creature inside. Too bad you'd missed the other attempts then, or joined in supplying the demand for treats. 

Moon stays pressed down in the grass, dawned in a t-shirt and hastily sown together pants. Often radiating lukewarm or cold, you've never known the temperature to bother him much. 

"We should name it," Names spurring immediately to mind, but you hadn't swaddled it like a baby. Didn't think that gave you any real leeway. "The raccoon." You add. 

Casually slipping the throw blanket out from under you, tossing it over the two of you. Moon making no attempt to move away. 

Muffled voice eventually piping up from the twilight grass blades. "peaches.”
