#skew shock

[lolotheparagon]

These are old Predacon OCs Ive made 2 years ago for a TFP AU where Shockwave being a mom to predacon babus. But instead, Ive redesigned them to be side characters in Star Cross Warriors!

Meet Bow and Echo, two Prettiopian/Ironite hybrids who are also part butterfly and have the powers of both shock and sound waves respectively. They're twins who like to swap each other’s colours because it confuses people. They were originally spies sent from Ironos to infiltrate and take over Prettiopia but find the place so relaxed and fun, they decided to live there permanently and get adopted by Myrrcuri, a rogue Ironite alchemist

I've always been curious to know this about the people around me. Most people have been in severe pain, but in my experience few have had what they would say is their 10/10 experience. I guess it's just something I find fascinating, as I had my 10/10 experience quite young and I sometimes forget that not everyone has. In my opinion it changes your relationship with pain and how you engage with it afterwards. If you answered yes, feel free to elaborate on your circumstances in the tags!

I'm not even halfway through the episode but like what do people think of Oshi no Ko, my classmate recommended it to me and they aren't aware of my very judgemental thoughts and this blog and they appear to really like it but I kinda think the anime is weird. Am I just chronically online or is there really a better storyline going on in here that I haven't uncovered yet?

2. What was the first moment that they knew they were in love with their LI?

13. How do they react at being away from each other?

26. How important is the romance in your OC’s overall story?

these are going under a cut for length, but thank you!!!

2. What was the first moment that they knew they were in love with their LI?

There were a lot of little moments for Nailah, but if one had to be chosen as the moment... it'd be the one they shared before scaling Mount Gulg. She pieced together who the Exarch was shortly before then, and though she still didn't know why he was doing what he was, hearing someone she deeply trusted speak so warmly to her after some of the worst experiences in her life set her heart on fire for him.

It's a similar story for G'raha - several smaller moments rather than one big one - but the through-line of all of those bits was seeing Nailah let down her walls and just be herself. He fell in love with each glimpse of her gentle nature, each quiet chuckle he heard, each shy smile he caught... it was a slow, inevitable love for him.

13. How do they react at being away from each other?

If he's not kept busy, G'raha falls into wistful pining pretty quickly. His thoughts regularly drift to thinking about (or worrying over) Nailah, and he writes letters when his yearning becomes too much to bear. The letters rarely get sent - apparently postmoogles don't accept 'nondescript Eorzean wilderness' as a valid mailing address - so he stores them in Nailah's annex room for her to read when she returns.

While Nailah likes having time for herself, she doesn't like staying away from G'raha for too long - he's one of very few people she's comfortable being herself around, and going back into the public eye alone isn't something she enjoys. Tiring as it is, she retreats to her colder, distant professionalism, fighting off her yearning with her poetry in dark inn rooms or secluded camps while collecting stories and trinkets as gifts for her lover upon her return. The longer she's kept away, the colder she comes across to those around her - though admittedly, it's hard for strangers to notice the difference.

26. How important is the romance in your OC's overall story?

it's important, but it's not the be-all end-all if that makes sense? it's the culmination of lessons she learns through her journeys, but it's not the point of her story. the romance is supposed to represent Nailah finding her own self worth and choosing to pursue something for herself, even if that something is as small as loving someone else. she needs a space to figure herself out and just... be Nailah, and G'raha gives her that and more, while she gives him just as much support and encouragement in his own choices - choices that he also is starting to pursue for himself.

...i think that's as good an explanation as i can give without incoherently rambling tbh.

Gotta say, after years of hearing that AI was going to take over pathology and end everyone’s career, I really wasn’t expecting my fanfic hobby to be the first to fall victim to the imminent machine threat.

You people and your Howard x Lalo art are SICK. You made a complete FOOL out of me. Because of your art I thought that the two of them would actually have a relationship, not a romantic one or anything of the sort, but a relationship, a kind of professional friendship. Like Howard is struggling with the trouble Jimmy keeps throwing his way and Lalo notices and approaches him in a 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' way. Howard wouldn't know the full extent of Lalo's situation with Jimmy or who he is, but he would take any help he could get from someone who believed him. But no. That did not happen. They barely spoke 5 words to each other. Fuck you all.
