ruthlessly deleting old 2021/2022 posts (not by me) from my dean studies tag like *click* un-incorporating that from my beliefs system! also the way SO many posts have me like ok uh-huh good aaand then say one completely wrong thing that loses me. it's so many posts.

The League of Assassins hideout with the Lazarus Pit has been attacked, with many members suddenly going silent. Of course, this fact makes its way back to Batman.

When the Justice League arrives to figure out what is going on, they find a group of 'metas' throwing a party, all of them with cups filled with Lazarus Water.

As it turns out, the Lazarus Water is actually high quality ghost booze, and a group of specters has decided to set up the current Ghost King's wedding reception around the best source of it.

Another year, another outfit to die in! Happy birthday again Izuna!!!!!!

Like last year, I played with someone else's lines for these charming patterns, thank you so much Lena @elhnrt ! I had a ton of fun :D

Check the readmore for pattern references and explanations, there are some easter eggs in there :)

(x,x,x,x)

My goal for this piece, in addition to playing with patterns and textures and adding some Naruto references, was to add as many death flags as possible.

The idea of having Izuna in a fireman's coat is obviously not from me. I've always like the idea of Uchihas in fire resistant clothes, and the opportunity for a thick texture alongside a reversible double pattern is very appealing. I used the image of the second reference as a base, with skulls on one side and stylized lightning patterns on the other (visible inside the sleeves and collar). Both were common immagery of firemen coats.

The actual skull pattern is taken from the third reference. I'd seen this one before and before even learning anything abt it it was too beautiful to pass up. Those white and navy gradients are absolutely delightful and I enjoyed using my gel pens for them very much.... This particular type of imagery with skulls and bones in a field is called Nozarashi, inspired by Buddhist representation of death and transience.

The lightning pattern itself is a reference to water and lightning dragons :) Like Tobirama's iconic jutsu, it's one of the hints of what's abt to happen to our little guy. The scabbard is also decorated with dragon motifs for the same reason.

The background pattern is taken from the first reference, another fireman's coat with an illustration of Raijin, the thunder god. He is often representated with drums decorated with tomoes. It works nicely as a standard looking sharingan illustration, with a reference to Tobirama's hiraishingiris with the thunder imagery, like the thunder patterns inside the coat.

If you're interested in this I recommend the book linked in the second reference! It is entirely about skeleton motifs in japanese clothing of the early 20th century.

redraw done yaaay! ^-^ my third time drawing this comic omg.... what can i say it's special to me uwu i want it to reflect my designs.

[maudiemoods]

Redesigning the ship again and probably not for the last time aaaaa I read some of the feedback and I really took it into consideration!! A bigger ship does seem a lot more necessary, especially with a ton of kids living full time on board! I adjusted the living area so it expands past the original shape of the ship, plus two towers because the one just looked kinda weird and off proportions! I'm also thinking about adding wings or fins to the ship because it seems like it's missing something like that? Idk

Also, little helper guys!! They're extremely easy to assemble and sun and moon or kids can build one for extra/personal help! They work like a hive mind so they're basically sun and moon just small! They can be disconnected from sun and moon and can become their own ai by experiencing their own things! A lot of kinds have personal sun and moons! Even when they are their own ai, sun and moon can still see and hear through them! So I guess they're not as disconnected as I said fjekjdjs also! They can be shut down immediately, no matter how connected to sun and moon they are! But they only do that if they step wayyy out of line, which doesn't happen often!

It takes a lot of energy to keep the little guys around! So when they're knocked out of orbit, they eventually all have to be shut down. Sun and moon will be completely alone for a long time before y/n find them

They called me goofy...

well i'm pretty sure they won't do it again!

hey!!! this is less of an ask and more of a fic rec tbh 😭 but have you read 'I May be Invisible, but I Still Look Good" by Dandy over on Ao3???? It's after the movie AND Leo-centric and like he gets cursed so his spirit is ripped out of his body. It's like 125k words of wonderful storytelling

OH- but for an actual question, do you have and fic recs?? or any AU's you think people should go check out?

I tried answering this before and it erased my reply orz

ANYWAY YES I HAVE read this and I absolutely love it with every fiber of my being.❤️ 100% one of my top fics to read in this fandom that I even go back to for a reread more than once. The characters are perfectly done and the set up for the story is believable with a fantastic payoff, highly highly highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t read it yet.❤️

As for recs, I’ve always been terrible at giving recs since my memory is very bad especially for ones I haven’t read in a while.😭 Off the top of my head I can recommend (note these are practically entirely Leo-centric since he’s my special guy you understand (the others aren’t forgotten at all though!!!) - and most of these are very very well known so you’ve likely already read them…):

[Note many of these are unfinished and may remain that way - please no one harass the writers for more, let them write at their own pace if they choose to write at all]

- The Neon Void by sugarpastels is absolutely incredible, the dramatic irony of it all as we follow Leo in the state he’s in and see just how broken all the Hamatos are by his “death” is just 👌👌👌 The fact that this places with one of my favorite tropes aka “Leo being in the Prison Dimension longer than canon” is just so good. Genuinely a thoroughly gripping tale that I highly recommend. It’s not complete yet (a lot of this list isn’t) but what is there is so amazing please read (though you most likely have read it already haha)

- little kid with a big death wish and firefight by remrose are another two you’ve likely seen but by god are they worth the read. Firefight isn’t done yet but it and death wish are so amazingly well written and really go into how trauma affects people differently and how ties with family can be tested in traumatic situations. Hard subjects definitely but very maturely done. (Also I misread firefight as firelight for way too long before I realized it-)

- Power Up and Times Five by pickedcarrotsandradish are both unfinished but I can’t care because what we were given is so good that I’m fine with them as they are. Both deal with Leo’s insecurities and bad feelings about himself and, very importantly, the fics go into how these insecurities establish a base for Leo’s very real flaws and how those flaws push him to act the way he does. Very interesting and compelling stuff here!! Power Up especially does really cool things for the boys’ mystic power ups, especially Leo’s, and I loved reading about the ins and outs of what they could do.

- Race Against Life, Death, and the EPF by Cass_Phoenix is just so engaging to read??? Like I love the entire set up for it - it’s feels so fresh and like you’re in Leo’s desperate situation yourself. I was so excited whenever a new chapter came out because the atmosphere was so well done.

- A Mixed Bag by GreatlyBlessed is SHOCKINGLY not Leo-centric for once haha. It’s not completed, but again, like the others above it is so good that I recommend it anyway. This story is actually a crossover between four sets of TMNT (‘87, ‘03, ‘12, and Rise) and the dynamics set up in it are SO fun I love it. Team 2 is my fave because you have literally all my faves on that team how could I not?? I also highly appreciate that everyone gets a chance to shine and that there’s no bashing at all, they’re all just very much in character and it’s refreshing to read ❤️❤️❤️

There’s a LOAD more that I could recommend I’m sure but I don’t remember them off the top of my head at the moment.😭 If I remember I’ll come back and add them in!

(Forgot about AU’s- honestly there’s some that I see and catch up on when I see them but there’s just so many that it’s a bit difficult to keep track of sometimes! I’d have to go around and fully look through many before having a solid answer haha! The ones I do see are always so well done though, I may come back and add them here if I remember 😅)

“do you think there are any differences between your present self and your previous and future incarnations? if not, then what are the differences between humans and puppets? whoever has tasted the joys and sorrows of life in the human realm is human. whoever has loved and lost, cried with grief, howled with rage at the tragedy of death that eclipses the miracle of life... they are human too."

hey!! can i ask for a color palatte description for the ro's? like what their hair/eye colors are?

hope you're having a good week 💙💙💙

Hi!

I spent a long time putting together a graphic for this before I realised that you asked for just a description haha... oops. well. here is the graphic anyway XD

If you're looking for a link to the page with more general descriptions, there are some on the RO's page.

Very sorry for the delay in replying! My life is. hectic. smdnfgbsfgf

I needed a Sidestep costume layout to draw Sidestep era stuff.

I have no excuses not to draw the stuff now :(

I'll probably change my mind on it being the final version after some time...

No-coat version and explanations under cut

Wanted it to be as canonical as possible. I always really liked the original Sidestep costume design, but wanted the coat to be more... shaped? Idk. So I started with that and it kinda dictated the designs from there.

It looks bright, but everything there is matted and barely reflective. You won't see him in the dark much.

Oh and there is the caster, I've no idea what I'm doing here.

I also needed the design of the top part of base layer just for myself, to know what the suit would look like with the coat unzipped, and oh my god did I regret everything...

Bottom line: designing things and drawing them is really fucking hard and idk how people do it.

Have a good one.

[pinkieroy]

And another thing (this is the last one, I promise, I will stop going on tags and rabbitholing my way into reading discussions i disagree with)

Another thing I don't know where came from is the idea that the rest of the party doesn't interact with their relationship, that it is something isolated and that the others don't comment or interfere with, that it's kept apart from the group, because that is simply not true?

I'm too lazy to look for exact quotes right now, but in episode 65 Ashton was the one, after Laudna's outburst, that insisted for her to go somewhere to reconnect with Imogen, sure Imogen kept saying she would be with Laudna, but Ashton very clearly knew that some time alone with Imogen could make her feel better.

But you also have other things sprinkled out through the campaign like the "are you staring because you are jealous?" From Fearne during the dusk arc, FCG after getting the share dream spell suggesting numerous times to use with them, FCG getting Imogen to kiss Laudna's forehead for the ritual, Orym comparing Imogen's loss to his own six years before, "that dead lady's got a lot of love in her heart", Ashton and FCG helping Laudna on the gift shop, Fearne trying to to help in episode 65 telling Laudna Imogen was thinking about her the whole time.

My point is the party is not alienated from them, they have private moments, sure, but some post I read was talking about how the party doesn't interfere with the "stagnation" of their relationship, which just sounds so weird to me? Where exactly do they need to interfere? Unless one of them was having trouble and was asking for advice (which is something that, ya know, happened) I don't see why they need to interject, unless you want their relationship/dynamic to change, because it is not your cup of tea, so it isn't that the other characters don't interact with their relationship is that you want the interaction to be different (which is valid, I disagree but everyone has their taste in shipping and fiction in general), but trying to say that they keep their relationship far removed from the others is not really true is it?

For the AU ask thing - how about Jance in a spy setting 👀

this got WILDLY out of hand 😭😭 i hope you enjoy it

i know you were probably expecting me to make them both spies but how about nace being the spy and he's assigned a new mission, which involves getting very close to jan. jan isn’t his main target – that would be his best friend’s dad, who’s a former diplomat turned politician – but jan seems to be their best bet at getting close enough and finding information

nace is a great spy exactly because no one tends to find him suspicious. he’s charming and sweet and seems as non-threatening as possible and people just… tend to trust him. he’s very well aware of what his job entails and he never lets himself get more involved than he has to. it’s surprisingly easy not to get attached when you’ve been trained your entire adult life for this (the missions start to blur together and sometimes the only memories he has are the postcards he collects from different locations around the world)

so he figures the jan mission will go just like any other one

his cover story wasn’t particularly complex this time – his great grandparents had been from around that area and had moved to a different country to find a better life from themselves, and nace had always been fascinated and wanted to know more. life had finally found a way to take him back to the region and nace was sticking around for a little while, to figure out more about his origins and give something back to the country he had grown to love, just from hearing stories about his family’s past

they meet at a charity event organized by jan’s best friend – kris. it’s focused on gathering funds, allowing lower income students from the local high school to have access to music classes, and it’s very much something kris is doing for jan – by all accounts, despite his connections to kris’ family, jan seems to be a decent human and has seemingly convinced his childhood friend to invest in several causes he’s passionate about (science, music and animals)

their first meeting doesn’t go too well, but it’s exactly what nace expected. jan is reserved and a bit stand-offish and answers most of nace’s questions with just one or two words. however, as they start finding each other more often (with jan asking, at one point, “are you following me?” with a raised eyebrow, being met with genuine laughter from nace because jan is actually very amusing), jan seems to relax more around him and nace finds it surprisingly easy to talk to him

it gets to the point nace almost forgets about his mission, until he’s contacted again and he realizes he hasn’t made all that much progress. he could have because jan invites him along quite often and he’s even on friendly terms with kris now, but he’s genuinely enjoying his time with jan and he knows as soon as he gets information out of him (or kris), the mission will end and he’ll probably never see jan again

… this is a huge problem, nace realizes, because it’s the first time he has genuinely felt like his personal life is affecting his professional life. he knows he shouldn’t be stalling and trying to buy himself more time with jan, but he doesn’t know what else to do. he’s not ready to let go of jan and their conversations and coffee dates and, most of all, he doesn’t want to hurt jan

so he keeps pretending jan is simply being evasive about any questions he has. he’s been nothing but professional over the last decade and, while it’s uncommon for him to take so long to get information, he feeds them just enough crumbs to keep them occupied. he feels guilty every time jan shares something with him and he has to send that information right back because… he’s trusting him. and nace knows how hard it is for jan to trust new people and it’s making him feel like a terrible person

but there’s only so many excuses he can give and so much time he can gain. after months of dead ends and information that leads nowhere, he’s informed he’ll be moving on to a new mission and martin will be taking over from here. it’s not the first time he’s been changed from one assignment to the other, but it’s the first time it has caused him genuine distress (but he figures it was always meant to end this way)

he calls jan that night and they meet at nace’s apartment. most of his things are packed already and when jan gets there, nace can see how his expression shifts – his smile drops and he can almost hear all the questions jan wants to ask, but there’s just silence between them

“i’m sorry.” It’s the only thing nace can say and when he reaches to touch jan he expects jan to pull away and leave. instead, jan lets himself be embraced and nace lets himself do the one thing he’s been wanting to do for months – he kisses jan, with the knowledge it’s the first and the last time they’ll have a chance to do it

they spend the night together and nace feels desperate. he tries to memorize every line, every blemish, every mark of jan’s body. he takes his time, makes jan fall apart under his touch and enjoys how his body feels against his; how soft his lips are; how pretty jan looks under the moonlight, next to him in bed

and then, when nace thinks he’s already asleep, jan finally speaks: “i knew you were trying to get to kris’ family”. it’s unexpected because nace doesn’t think he’s ever given anything away, but he’s been sloppy and careless over the last few months, so he guesses whatever it is that exists between him and jan has been doomed since he’s figured it out. “i knew from that start, if that’s what you’re wondering. you’re not the first and you certainly won’t be the last. it comes with being kris’ friend and you just end up knowing when people have genuine interest in you or if they’re just trying to get to him”

“jan…”

“and i guess i expected you to stick around for a while and then get bored because i wasn’t giving you what you wanted, but you kept making an effort to get to know me and i knew it wasn’t completely genuine but it felt that way. and i couldn’t help it. i fell in love with you”

and nace wants nothing more than tell him he’s also in love with jan. that it wasn’t genuine at first, but it has turned into something real. he hopes jan knows that’s why he didn’t leave without saying goodbye

“you’re leaving, aren’t you?” nace simply nods and he can see how jan tries to give him a strained smile. “don’t worry, i haven’t told them and i won’t say a word. i’m pretty sure you haven’t given them much to work with, anyway. kris might want to kick your ass for breaking my heart, though”

“for what’s worth,” nace says. “i…” i love you. “i care a lot about you, jan. and i wish we’d met under different circumstances”

jan kisses him again and nace isn’t sure how he’ll be able to move on from it. he wants to take jan with him; run away somewhere no one knows them. he knows this is simply not possible for them, but that won’t stop him from hoping

Leave an AU and a pairing in my ask and I’ll give you the plot of the fic I won’t write for it

[archduke-enver-gortash]

mmm essay about sally and kid gort in the tags (cw for child abuse, mentions of suicide, animal cruelty and a murder attempt. i always hope i don’t have to say this but just in case: i don’t excuse or condone any of her or gort’s behaviour at all.) this is literally not even touching upon everything i have to say because i hit the fucking tag limit lmao. NOBODY READ IT’S BAD BRAINSTORMING I JUST NEEDED TO GET IT OUT SOMEHOW

[socksandbuttons]

In the "a day in the life of eclipse" it wasn't the first time Solar's Moon treated him badly. Remember when Lunar first showed up in Solar's dimension, Solar told Moon that there's a dimensional traveler and he'll deal with it. And his Moon responded with "good because I don't care!" it looks like his Moon has been aggressive/treated him badly to him from the start. Sorry, I just didn't understand what you meant by you ignoring the lore from a day in the life of eclipse because it is part of the lore now

You're new on my blog which i frequently ignore things in my headcanons from time to time. And that canon changes from how its interpreted. Anyway, stems from Solar's explaining his moons situation. The lore SLIGHTLY changed. In terms of Moon, being slightly Glitched due to killcodes removal/memory loss. He never mentioned Moon being mean before that (at least not on the terms before he left his dimension). Not unlike things to be slightly aggressive from Moon tho, just it wasnt PERCIEVED moon was a jerk to Solar UNTIL Solar reveals this later on (after Lunars death). They didn't really develop his story until later a little more. So I'm sticking to my previous headcanon of Moon having a glitch, which is canon to s degree? SOLAR himself has mentioned he wanted to fix his MOON AND SUN. Which was forgotten/changed and turned into just sun then into Solar leaving forever.
