Hey guys. It's been um *checks watch* like 5 or 6 years since I've used this blog. How's everybody doing? Sorry for the unannounced hiatus all that time ago.

I don't know if this blog will become active again. However there is a good chance that it might! I'm starting to create a plot for the blog's characters (because I still love them dearly), so hopefully I can create that and get this show up and running again. I've also been updating everyone's refs. So even if I don't come back to posting here officially, I think I'm going to at least upload those. I also have some new characters in the works that I may post refs for if I don't go thru with returning/making this blog more plot-centric.

I really do want to return to sometimes-stufful. However I'm an adult now (I'm literally about to turn 25 in 10 days, holy shit), and the past few years have been rough as hell on my mental health. I've lost a lot, and am just starting to heal from everything that's gone down. And I work full time, and have a datemate now, so finding the chance to draw is difficult. But this blog helped me on my art journey before. And I'd love to use it as an excuse to draw more, which is the main thing that pulling me back into the pokemon ask community. Another thing that's been pulling me back is the strong af urge to create content for my characters. Because I still love them so very much. I think about them so often that I want to put them in Situations and share it all with you. Although first I wanna get better at drawing humans lol (its relevant I swear). But I could get back into the swing of drawing some 'mons if I really set myself out to.

Let's see how it all goes. I'll keep you all updated. For those of you who have stuck around waiting so long, thank you. I hope to join you in this community again soon.

In the meantime, here's where you can find me and my artwork:

thinking about that one fic I read where Nemesis meets Zagreus during Hades I era (she doesn't have Stygius) and I'm rotating that in my head rn.

It's an interesting concept cause it very well could have happened between Hades 1 and Hades II. I don't think it did though. Nor do I think Eris met Zagreus (the impression I get from her dissing the house is more based on her experience when she lived there if she did and I think she would've clowned on Zagreus specifically to get at Mel). But conceptually? I think it would be neat if Nem did meet Zag. I don't think he would've left an impression on her (I think the convo where she and Mel discuss brothers would have gone differently if she did) but it's interesting.

i found this IF like idk 2 days ago and i just had to tell you that it's been living rent free in my head since then-

i don't usually like cyberpunk stuff all that much, but the universe you constructed around it and the way you present it to the player just had me since the very beginning. your writing is so fucking good, the concept is so refreshing in a way (playing as someone who is a bad person no matter how you spin it and having to deal w that throughout the story) and the characters!!!! the relationship the merc has with them!!!!!!! the fact the merc's "default personality" is being a little shit!!!!!!!!! THE STORY AND THE WORLDBUILDING IS SO GOOD AAAAAA

i jumped into it blind and at the very start i didn't fully understand the merc's relationship w Orla, but after playing it like 3 times i am just. completely obsessed with it. i can't wait to figure out what the fuck is going on there, especially when playing w a merc that absolutely HATES being seen as Orla's dog but who just can't snap out of their leash-

also can i just say, the torture scene with a merciful merc is just???? so good???!?!? the tension and the fact the merc doesn't wanna do it BUT THEY DO IT ANYWAY. BC ITS ORLA. AND THEN SHE FUCKING BERATES THEM FOR BEING SQUEAMISH IM-

i have such a deep love/hate relationship w this woman you have no idea. i love it

just wanted to say that you're doing an amazing job and i fell so deeply in love with everything you're constructing here <3 i could talk abt it for ages so im gonna stop now or i won't have any more praise asks to send lol

how it felt reading all that ^^

thank you!!! I'm very very glad that you enjoyed my little wip as much as you did <3 I'm rotating all the characters in my head like a weirdo 24/7 atp and the relationships between them are very important to me and probably what carries the game 😭

anyways the merciful scene!!! yes!!! God I wanted players that detest being ruthless to have smth full of tension and doubt and pulling through anyway bc as you've said it's ORLA and the merc can't help themself. they need the attention they need the approval and fail anyway trying to gain it. their dynamic is everything to me rn and a merciful merc falls short of her expectations so often!! and yet both keep coming back!! there's no one like the other out there, no one to hate and obsess over like they do each other most of the time!!

I can't wait to explore them like that further and to watch the tension grow and snap one day soon <3

How do you think Alec would have handled getting the Valkyrie treatment? Being made into a puppet in the same way that he did to other people, his sacrificial suicide being subverted by another cape who uses people as tools but in a much more complete and permanent sense, coming back wrong and having his cape identity irrevocably a part of his body and self, and no longer being able to take off the mask, is this anything?

see i've rotated this extensively in my mind before because i think coming up with how a cape's design would turn out if they got glastig uained is a really fun exercise (do that shit to lisa for some Fun eyeball body horror!!) but i'm struggling to come up with what would happen to alec :( the most obvious answer is the crown becoming like. Attached. to his head. but id ont know if that's too far out there. there's also the concept of having his face frozen in a permanent smirking expression but i feel like that would go Too tragically counter to the point of a 'surprise hes back again' au wherein he would be expected to. yknow. realize and experience some of his feelings again at some point. so yeah i'd need someone else to help me figure that one out.

anyway the actual experience of being glastig uained. if i recall correctly in ward brian says it was basically just like waking up feeling like everything from before he died was just a few days ago not Years ago so i don't think alec would care that much that someone was using his ghost or whatever for shit while he was dead, relative 2 all the other problems in his life. wouldnt even notice with the type of shit hes got going on. the big reason why this au doesn't really work is that it's just Wildly Unproductively Depressing. it seems like ciara only starts bringing random people back by the time aisha is like. what. 20?

it works Fine and Actually Thematically Interesting Well that brian is like oh FUCK youve GROWN UP when he gets back because it's relevant 2 their sibling dynamics. but it does. it does not work if alec gets back and aisha is like 20. it's just depressing. from alec's PoV it would be "congrats you've been brought back into a world where your best and only friend is too old and character-developmented for you to actually have a close connection with even though for you it feels like she was still your age only a few days ago and also your fucking shit ass siblings are here too and btw the world ended so all of the nice luxuries you were enjoying previously are not options anymore. go feed the earth gimel sheep boy." and from aisha's perspective her best friend would be back but in a monkeys paw way where he did not get to grow up with her and he's still little and sad and fucked up and more like one of his siblings that she's caring for/trying to help vs the equal best friendship she Wants but Can't Have because he is Fifteen. so now everything sucks and is sad for everyone involved. :(.

i would say "on the 'up'side this is a hot new contender for scenarios wherein lisa could feasibly decide alec is her new sopping wet fixer-upper" but she already has an even more absurd and unstable option (that one cop) so as usual alec remains background. btw he would be offended on taylors behalf that lisa had replaced taylor with victoria (who he does not like because shes annoying) and entirely oblivious that taylor had ever thought or said anything about him being sucks and utterly lacking in interiority. AUs that have potential to be funny wrt alec's interactions with the other undersiders but are wildly fucking depressing when you get to his interactions with aisha.

if we fudge a bit and say ciara brings him back like riiight after gold morning aisha would only be a bit over a year older than him so that's more doable in terms of character development and eventual reconnection but it'd still be a mess. i'm not articulating my explanation of how aisha's character development works rn and i don't feel like saying something wrong so i'll just leave it here but trust me it'd still be a mess. maybe an interesting one but a mess

I have a magical girl concept rotating in my head rn,,,their magic comes from their childhood channeled through a thing that is very important to them that they can carry

A lot of magical girls are in their teens and early adulthood where the magic of childhood is either still fresh or welcomed back. The potency lessens as people grow old, but sometimes there's old people who retain or regain their magic

Like, the concept of magic existing through the wonders of childhood, not really about holding on to it but rather taking your past self by the hand, acceptance and being able to grow and still look back. Something about transforming that wonder into maturity and all that Idk

9 favourite books

tysm for the tag @daisymae-12 !!!

about a year ago, I was unemployed for a while and binged like, 50 queer romance books back to back. most of these are from that little period of freedom haha

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston - wow big shocker. the heavy rwrb blog puts it as her fav? we all gasped. No joke, this book inspires me so much, regularly. Its a comfort reread, a regular in my rotation of audiobook backround noise, and inspired several fics and counting.. #1 best boy right here

Six of Crows Duology by Leigh Bardugo - my #2 comfort rereads, I'm including Crooked Kingdom bc I ALWAYS pick up book #2 after finishing book #1. Wylan is my special boy and I need his POV chapters. (I also need more fic of him going fucking insane and becoming a tiny, richer, Kaz please and thank you)

Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake - Look im a fantasy/magic/adventure girl, so this was very outside my norm when i bought it but i feel in LOVE. It's so mundane while also being very heartfelt and silly and fun. I absolutely loved it and plan to reread soon. plus........ sapphic sex scenes. what more do you want.

A Marvelous Light by Freya Marske - MAGIC. CURSES. SECRECT SOCIETY. LIBRARIES. PERIOD PEICE. (+magic sex???) SOLD. I need the next two books so bad but i'm broke rn. I will probably get #2 as an audio book from the library if I can soon!

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas - not exaggerating, this book reminded my why I love reading. this is the book that kicked off my great reading binge of 2022. which is kinda weird bc I really don't like high school stories, i'm just too old now for them. BUT, magic. ghosts. queer. SOLD. Loved and reread many times and counting!

The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas - While we're on Aiden Thomas... I need Sunbearer Trials book 2 like, yesterday. I NEED IT AIDEN. Hunger Games meets Percy Jackson in the best possible combination that took my breath away. I flew (lol) through this book in one evening. (not recommended. savvor this shit. its excellent.)

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun - the fact the author managed to make me enjoy the concept of a reality show is balls to the walls bananas. And the mental halth discussion in this stole the whole show.

Spell Bound by FT Lukens - It's really hard for me to pick between FT's books for a fav. I absolutely loved In Deeper Waters and So This Is Ever After, but Spell Bound hit me so hard. Of course, there's magic. (have you found my theme yet?) but specifically the discussion around lonliness, and Rook's relationship with "his adult" is so sweet and just really hit me somewhere soft.

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston - I am seriously on the hunt for sapphic books that hit me the way some of the mlm books above have hit me and ols hits that nail on the head. This book made me realize I actually like time travel stories... if it's done in a very specific way haha. also... sapphic sex scenes. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME. I'M HERE FOR THE P-

ty for allowing me to indulge in my ramblings and love for these books <3 no pressure tags below the cut:

You're a leatherworker!💕

Ok, if you had the super skills and time and the funds what would be your dream project?

okay first of all i am wriggling like an overstimulated pet ferret at your question

so i picked up leatherworking after an art school induced burn out 3 months ago and i have so many ideas brewing in my head rn! first i'd like to try my hand at making complex harnesses and bondage cuffs (and a whole lot of kink gear tbh) but i have this concept rotating in my brain of a full body harness with cathedral architecture elements (will do some sketches soon i think) with assorted cuffs. also i would also like to make a cross shaped paddle stamped with 'lead us not into temptation'. all made in fancy ass vegetal tan italian leather of course ✨

anyways i think tobias forge should hire me to make leather stuff for the next papa lmao

I WANNA HEAR ABOUT LEIT MOTIF THAT IS THE COOLEST FUCKING NAME EVER

^ Me rn

Well I didn’t really come up with the name, @tealottie did (hai Missy ilu), but I came up with basically everything else. Leit Motif has sound manipulation powers which I haven’t fully worked out yet.

His backstory so far is that he got a career in the music industry but ran into some conflict with his label. Motif wanted to be a full on popstar (his ideal image is inspired by the likes of artists such as Electra Heart era MARINA and Charli xcx) but the label wanted a softer image. He gave in, but the album flopped because he didn’t put much effort into it.

Eventually Motif discovered that the songs he wrote were given to another singer (who in my head is named Valerie Valentine, but she mainly exists as a concept at the moment) and by then he had developed a massive ego so he tried sabotaging her career. Valerie was beloved by the industry and the general public, so Motif became infamous even before gaining powers and becoming a super villain.

I haven’t fully worked out a lot of the story stuff, but I still rotate Motif in my head like crazy. He’s a bitch and thinks himself better than just about everyone, except the Fearsome Four (not the Five, as his ego is almost enough to rival Negaduck’s own ego and their personalities clash a ton). I originally made him for the sole purpose of shipping with Quackerjack and I LOVE their dynamic. They are peak ‘I can make him worse’. And they do make each other worse.

Can you tell from the length of this response how much brainrot I’m having over this dumbass
