#fire emblem#fe7#blazing sword#nils#ninian#aquanutart#i saw someone post a pic of ninian and say it was the fire emblem anniversary#and i thought i should put up an old pic i haven't posted for that and i was going to try to rush to do it#then i realized the anniversary was last week. so it didn't matter#and i spent four hours shuffling and reshuffling my pokemon card deck playing an imaginary game against myself#it works really well when i'm not playing anyone else and imagine everything going exactly the way that i want#then i go to an event where i have an actual opponent and it goes differently#i've heard it recommended to build the opponent's deck and play it against yourself#but i don't want to buy all the cards for another deck and also don't want to print proxies because it would take a lot of time and ink#so what i do when i'm missing a card is i put another card in its place and imagine it's that card#'so this n's klinklang is a dragapult and these little wooloo are dreepies'#it works if i'm missing two or three cards but i think if i tried to play a whole deck like this it'd be incredibly confusing#i am always really relieved when i actually get the card i need and can stop pretending#(i don't play dragapult; that was just an example. if i did i probably wouldn't keep losing but i never had a dragapult so i don't)#anyway i made this like 1-2 years ago? i don't even remember.. for a theme on twitter#i think the theme was 'music'#i love these dragon kids#anyway happy anniversary fire emblem 7 !!!! i love this game so much#i just realized the anniversary for fe7 rather than the whole series anniversary was actually only 3 days ago and i could have been on time#it's... fine. i am going to pretend it's 3 days ago in exactly the way i pretend i am winning when i play pokemon against myself#(hey if anyone noticed i changed the image i'm sorry t's been so long i initially uploaded an earlier version of the file whoops)

Isa is the one with a nightmare, as a treat :)



Ya know, obviously Siffrin (whose name auto correct keeps changing to suffering, which is pretty fitting lol) went through hell and back with the loops. All the angsty art and fics around that I totally get and love to see, however I like to imagine the toll their whole journey took on everyone…
It’s brought up in the game how the King’s power over Vuagarde had a huge impact on Bonnie with their sister + with Mirabelle having the weight of saving a country on her shoulders, but I can’t recall if anything was brought up with Isa and Odile? (Oh nooOOoOo, how awful I can’t remember! Guess I’ll just have to rewatch a let’s play of the game again! What a shame… /j) So yeah :3 Nightmares for everyone! Though Sif definitely has gotten quite a lot more baggage from their journey (which I do intend to make art of eventually..)
#This was also totally an excuse to paint Siffrin holding Isabeau#I have read a few fics that dive a bit more into the impact of the king on the whole country + the party which I enjoyed#there’s plenty of angst to go around for everyone#isat spoilers#in stars and time#isat siffrin#isat isabeau#isat fanart#isat isafrin#watercolor#traditional art#them <3#I had fun painting this one actually! The folds of the blankets were a bit of a nightmare but that’s because I didn’t have a reference :P#That was supposed to be moonlight but the picture makes the painting look brighter than it actually is :P#Okay I darkened it and made it the first photo#I think it looks better? Usually my darkness is up on my phone so I usually think things are darker than they actually are#this is like the behind the scenes part of me posting#*tiny me waves at you from the spot you lifted a rock from*#*does a lil dancey dancey*#*pulls out a deck of cards and shuffles them a bit*#”is this your card?”#…#okay yeah I’ll hit post now and be on my way… ‘boop’#My art

Lord Apollon came barreling back into my life, hit me with a stick, and told me to go to therapy again. Then when I complained he threw a bunch of tarot cards at me (7 to be exact) and told me he was getting tired of my complaining 😭
So I scheduled a therapy appointment this morning. My therapist is always booked out months in advance but this ONE time she's available next week 😐 this is the only time she's been available that fast.
I love this religion so much /gen
#obligatory no he did not literally hit me with a stick#but I sure felt like I was hit with the message lmao#and obligatory he didn't literally throw the cards at me#they just flew out of the deck as I shuffled#Apollo#deity work#hellenic pagan#hellenic paganism#hellenic polytheism#hellenic worship#hellenic devotion#helpol#hellenic community#hellenic deities#hellenic gods#hellenic polytheist#apollo deity#apollo worship#apollon deity#lord apollo#apollon worship#lord apollon

Okay but imagine Eddie having a secret talent for card tricks like this if he ever did this to me imma jump his bones on the spot 😔✋
Eddie: *shows card trick* impressed?
Still Eddie: …. Wait why are you looking at me like that? 😳
(Eddie screaming like a banshee in mere seconds after tackling him)
GOD HE WOULD, he so would oh my god, he’s such a nerd i hate him
————
he would be so confused when you’re immediately all over him, pawing at him and tugging at the jawstring of his sweats, pulling his soft dick out as you mouth at his neck.
“woah, princess. what’s your deal, huh?” you lean back to look at him as you languidly stroke his cock, nuzzling against his hand when he reaches up to push your hair back. you frown, because it’s stupid and you can’t believe fucking card tricks sent you into a goddamn heat.
“the… the cards.” you mumble.
eddie raises an eyebrow, “the cards?” and you groan, dropping your head to softly thump against his shoulder, “please don’t make me admit it, eds.” you grumble into his shirt.
you swipe your thumb over his tip, his cock now alert and slowly filling out with excitement from your touch, and eddie hisses, hips bucking up against your hand. he breathlessly chuckles, “i’m a little confused, babe.”
you roll your eyes, pulling back to look at him again, “the card tricks were hot, eddie.”
and eddie almost laughs, he almost does, but then your squeezing his cock and fuck— the cards go falling to the ground in a white flurry, scattering all across the living room floor just like eddie’s fucking brain.
and sure eddie might be annoyed that he has to pick up all those cards, and he’s gonna be even more pissed off when he counts the cards and realizes he’s lost a few of them to the void that is the space under his couch— but shit, he can’t seem to find a reason to care because now you’re sinking down to your knees— and jesus christ, eddie’s gonna learn more card tricks after this.
#he can shuffle my cards anytime#and i don’t mean the ones that come in a deck😮💨😩#<<< that made no sense BUT THE VISION IS THERE#eddie munson x reader#eddie munson#eddie x reader#eddie munson smut#drabble

I love how even when dueling Yami takes the time to advice people on Duel Monsters card maintenance
#my sweet child#also i think that pandora might have working in a casino than as a magician#because while magicians do use the shotgun shuffle they don't mostly do it because it damages the cards#casino people do it for 1) the flair and 2) because it keeps the people's eyes on the deck and convinces them that the deck is truly shuffl#leaving opportunity to cheat so that the house can win#also his general vibes are giving casino rather than magician#yami yugi#yugioh#cide watches yugioh dm#yugioh duel monsters#cide watches yugioh#yugioh dm

this tarot deck REALLY wants to remind me to Hermit. this is convenient considering a) the Hermit is one of my favorite cards and b) I associate it with one of the quotes that I keep nearby at all times for writing purposes ("Do not be afraid to disappear, from it, from us, for a while, and see what comes to you in the silence" from Michaela Coel's Emmy acceptance speech in 2021).
however this is NOT convenient because do you have any fucking idea how much I have to do before I can get to that, Hermit card?
#curious to know if anyone else is using the new cr deck regularly and how theyre feeling about it lol#the hermit has showed up as the third card in like two out of idk five or six? total readings#and then today pulled the 'jump out of the deck while shuffling' act which is always like. oKAY I FUCKING HEARD YOU#I have had a few decks that were uh. VERY blunt so this is not surprising to me#but damn dude give me a fucking break I've got shit to get through first#I'm already planning to basically go hermit mode after moving but again there are things to get through first#to be clear not literal hermit mode just metaphorical hermit mode

Beta Kenta my beloved
(trying not to think about Tony experimenting on Kenta to give him powers and how this ties into Kenta’s sense of self-worth after years of being the ordinary one)

Me: oh I'll do a card pull for funsies, see if there's anything I can get for the new year
The cards: YOU NEED TO TRANSITION. NOW.

Upright 8 Of Cups - Action, change, journey
Reversed High Priestess - Hidden Motive, Ignorance, Confusion
Upright Death - Transformation, Transition, Necessary Change
#ace on stage#IM NOT. PARTICULARLY RELIGIOUS ABOUT IT i literally only do tarot pulls for fun. i enjoy staying in the belief of like#'it doesn't have any particular weight one way or another' yknow. but its really funny that i got this combo#Literally nothing more transgender than 'people will be ignorant but you need to change.#You need to keep going or else you'll be dissatisfied'#i shuffled the deck before putting it away too (i always do that no matter the cards) and dropped one face up#and it was upright the world (accomplishment‚ success‚ mastery) so um. if that isnt a sign i dunno what is#the cards want me to fuckin transition i guess!!!!!#i dunno. its nice to be hopeful

Why can't Kunsel just, like, drape himself across them. Weighted blanket mode. Or he could go under them and he could get the weight benefit. Think smarter, Kunsel!

Jan 31st - Shuffle - @wolfstarmicrofic - word count: 597
cw - subtle smut
He'd found the pack of cards in his father's study. The drawer was usually kept locked. But Kreacher had been tasked with reorganising some papers and had left it open. It had taken only a moment for Sirius to slip inside the room, to consider quickly what to take, and to swipe the small box. It was light. Easy to conceal. The ornate and gilt lettering, embossed into the leather, had him intrigued.
The Ashmedain Deck.
He'd never heard of it. Although he was hardly surprised. Grimmauld Place was full of dark magical artefacts that his parents took little care to conceal.
So these cards must be different...dangerous...his father's secret...
Safe in his room, with a chair propped under the door handle for good measure, Sirius sat cross-legged on the floor and read the back of the box:
An enchanted deck that will reveal,
Dark desires best concealed.
Beware to those who do not know,
The fantasies the cards will show.
Sirius' curiosity momentarily wavered. Perhaps this wasn't such a good idea? But even as the thought had crossed his mind he had opened the box, tipped the cards into his hands, and had begun to shuffle.
There were no further instructions. Sirius acted on instinct. He fanned the cards out on the floor before him, the backs of the cards facing upwards. He closed his eyes and cleared his mind as though using them for divination. After a moment, Sirius moved his hand, hovering over the cards, waiting for the sensation to come. He paused when it felt right. He opened his eyes, reached down and flipped over the card.
Sirius felt an initial thrill of disappointment. The front of the card was blank. But as he inspected closer he noticed a shimmer ripple across the card. An image had begun to form, out of focus and unclear. Sirius wasn't certain, but it looked like the curve of someone's calf. The card's magic seemed to fix. The image froze.
Sirius growled in frustration and flipped another card.
This time the image was clearer; two legs intertwined. A sense of unease began to creep through him. But there was temptation, too...
Another card. More legs. Draped across a body. A body he recognised as his...
Sirius hesitated, his heart racing, his fingers pricking as he considered whether to continue...
... But he needed to see...
... Just one card more...
He swallowed hard and flipped another card.
This card revealed a torso, lean and scarred and naked. Sirius knew the torso well. He had seen it many times. But not like this...
... But he had wondered... and he had noticed... but he still wasn't sure what it meant...
The cards seemed to know.
He flipped another. The image rippled. Collar bones and shoulders. The back of his head, a mess of dark hair, tumbling across the skin of someone else...
He flipped another. A jaw. Lips parted in exaltation. A mouth flecked with scars.
Just one more card, a voice inside him seemed to whisper. He felt hot. His head swum. Guilt and shame and desire fluttered in his stomach. He knew that he should stop...
... But he had to know for sure...
Sirius flipped the card. The scene appeared. His breath caught as he watched the image, lips fusing, hot, and frantic. Familiar hands raked through his hair.
The picture froze. Whether it was temptation or the magic of the cards, Sirius did not know. He felt his hand reach out again as though he couldn't stop it...
... He had to know...
... He wanted to see...
... Just one more card...
Today was a free choice, so I gave @glassf1re the option of coming up with the word for today. The Ashmedain Deck is a device of my own creation.

to be honest with you guys, I'm kinda torn on whether or not swindle would be a chronic-overspender or a massive cheapskate
I mean. I get it: swindle is flashy. swindle has expensive taste. swindle dreams of being spoiled, of a house full of lavish things with a belly full of high-grade energon. and he damn well has enough shanix and credits to buy said things.
but would he be so bold as to spend his money on it?
a part of me says yes. I mean, swindle is living through wartime. maybe a part of him thinks that if he doesn't treat himself today, he might not live tomorrow to enjoy the comfort of his wealth. hence all the fancy mods, beautiful furniture, sleek spaceships, etc.
besides, it helps with stress. gives swindle a rush of dopamine when he purchases something costly. it's a symbol that all of his crimes and hard work have amounted to something. that what he's done is justified (at least to him). let all the glorified "morality-policing" bots clutch their pearls at his greed, at least swindle can AFFORD to indulge
that's something many bots can't do nowadays
besides, swindle is kiiinda conceited and DEFINITELY self-entitled. with a mech like that, who's surprised that he has some alarming spending habits?
but another part of me argues that BECAUSE swindle is in a war, he'd be even more stingy with his money. after all, I think it's a fair assumption to say swindle uses his wealth as a leverage. it places him in the lap of luxury. it buys him out of danger. it gains him intel from bots with loose lips. it keeps bots in debt to him. it silences his opponents. it fetches him bots willing to do favors for him (ex. mercenaries and such). apart from his wit and words, money is one of swindle's deadliest weapons
and if he spent that money on something expensive, then swindle would, by extent, be risking his life
I kinda find the latter idea more compelling
though, he could be somewhere down the middle. some weeks, swindle can't seem to stop spending. hes maxing out his credit card, filling his cart to the brim with meaningless items, piling and piling on more debt.
the next few weeks, swindle is under a strict budget, skimping meals, stressing over the amount of debt he's collected and overworking himself in order to compensate for it all
he's stuck with this dilemma. and he can never seem to get out of it. he WANTS to be able to spend on himself, wants that life of comfort he craves. but he can only spend so much before his consciousness takes over and chastises him for being reckless. the only way he ever slips back into spending is when his greedy nature comes in and encourages swindle to work harder on his business. scam a couple of bots. plan some heists. that'll get the credits rolling in. and after a nice little profit or two, swindle will be able to treat himself again, after weeks of processor-breaking hustling.
it's an endless cycle of overindulgence and abstinence. there is no middle ground. he's always on either side on the spectrum. swindle's greed might make him successful, yes, but it's also destroyed his relationship with money
I dunno. feel free to share your thoughts. I just like the idea of swindle's greed creating more problems for him, even though he argues his life has gotten drastically better ever since he out himself and money first
#tfa#transformers animated#transformers#tfa swindle#swindle#tf swindle#transformers swindle#ramblings#this is like. part of the reason why i dont enjoy seeing swindle being a gambler for like. the shits and giggles#because that idea could be SOOOO much more interesting#swindle would say hes done with gambling. plans to never steo inside a casino again#and then hes seated at the table again. deck in servo and optics glued to the cards being shuffled around#the chance of easy money is too tempting. he cant resist#but when he invetitably fails swindle will always beat himself up for it#and thus continues the cycle
