WIP Wednesday

and omg it's on Wednesday! And I do have things I'm doing that I can show :'D aaaaa

Small things, but still Things

La Criatura (left); I'm painting this whenever I can carve some extra time for painting for myself. It's a simple 3/4 and she's wearing a silly sweater, but I crave for simplicity lately ;;

Two literal saints trying to explain poetry to someone that can't understand it, doesn't want to understand it, and is just there because her friends are passionate about it u-u I'll try to color this and maybe flesh out that haircut Leli is sporting 👀

Consider:

Leo Valdez was not born. Instead, two pairs of hands form him from bronze and steel and gold. His hair is copper wires so thin they bounce like natural curls, and his eyes glimmer with silver flakes. The joints of his body are plated so delicately, so perfectly, the segments are near indiscernible, smoothly gliding over each other. Faint traces of fingerprints and flecks of impurity are deliberately left behind for their uniqueness, a form of impossible signature of his creators.

Most importantly, gilded bars curl around each other in his chest, protecting the red-red-red flame that pushes his eyes open everyday, that beats in tune with his thoughts, that heats his body to expand and grow.

A metal child is not so different from a human one, and yet is so far from it at the same time. He is curious, about the world, about himself, and he picks apart toys and TV remotes and his arms, spilling their secrets before his constantly shifting eyes. He does not cry from fatigue or thirst or hunger, but a bump, a dent, a scratch never fail to draw tears. He splashes in the rain and snow, carefully bundled in waterproof coats and jackets, and runs from baths like he's possessed, fire flickering in fear.

The first time he meets someone like him, an endeavour he had long thought hopeless, it is a malfunctioning dragon others call for the death of; he is too unpredictable, too dangerous, too broken. Leo looks him in ever-shifting eyes glimmering with silver and sees himself if the cage in his chest ever bends, cracks, shatters, if the gears beneath his skin ever jam and stick and wear down irreversibly.

It is not golden flowers and godly aid that preserve him; just as he'd done for his twin-in-all-but-appearance, he creates a new body, with new fingerprints and impurities mapping his design. His hair is more bronze than copper, now, and his eyes more gold than brass. The plates of his joints scrape against each other faintly, and the gears of his bones grind together uncomfortably — he only had so much time, so much material to use, he could not polish every element of himself in the way he wished, but it holds together.

Most importantly, he reinforces the cage in his chest, coats it in layers upon layers of metal, to ensure his flame will not go out in the explosion, that Festus will be able to salvage it and lay it gently in the chest cavity carefully carved in his new body, bringing it to life.

He returns to Camp, movements more clunky and mechanical than should be, and his siblings finally pin down his segmented limbs, his shifting eyes, his clicking fidgeting. They are ecstatic, just as fascinated with him as they had been with Festus, and he lets them. He lets them take him apart, piece by piece, clean out the sand of Ogygia from his organs, polish and oil his gears until they glide against each other, press new fingerprints, new signatures of belonging, against his skin.

Most importantly, they craft him a secure, intricate cage, with golden flames licking up the bars, with delicate chains shielding it from the elements, and his flame settles inside it, flickering happily, finally truly, truly comfortable in the cage of his body.

Leo Valdez may not have been born, but he was crafted with the most loving hands imaginable, and is that not so much better, for a son of the Craftsman?

"Hey everypony!" Rainbow Power says, "We at the Garden of Harmony have gathered!" "This year, we're all going to dress up for Nightmare Night in a group costume!" Gold Bat declares.

"So be ready for a fright (it won't be that bad)!" tosses in Fluttershy!

"BE READY!" Sparks and Morning Bright say in unison while Nassa adjusts her glasses

I know there's that whole stereotype of DMs and PCs hating each other or whatever but to be 100% honest the most joy I get out of D&D is when my players come up with some absolutely crazy batshit idea that should be absolutely impossible rules as written because as the DM I can choose to ignore that dumb nerd shit and just say "That sounds fucking rad dude, I'm giving you inspiration for that idea, now make an Acrobatics check."

you know it’s bad when I’m listening to the Jurassic World soundtrack and imagining scenarios for OCs, characters and AUs with every beat and note I hear

[rapid-as-sass-in-nation-team]

Sorry if I haven't been the most responsive or fast, my mental health and motivation has been whack still, especially with more tense dramatic rps, I don't know if Im in the right headspace for those right now. Im more open to casual wholesome stuff rn but still. Just wanted to say sorry but if you want to plot something Im happy too. Even if we're not mutuals.

"Yaaar!" Gold Bat simply yars!

"We have calculated you have no way to escape. Surrender for candy and nightmare night fun!" Nassa, ship analysis, announces.

"Try my concoctions! You will probably survive!" Morning Bright holds a dangerou- er, delicious looking vial!

"Ship animal handler here, give us your booty or I'll ask a sea serpent to get it from you for us!" Fluttershy threatens threateningly!

"I'm the ship's musician and I'll make sure the music is prancing!" Sparks says!

"Well you heard the girls! Seems like you have no choice to come on board for a big Elements Nightmare Night party! Captain's Orders!" Rainbow Power declares!

The Elements of Harmony have all gone pirate! Oh no!

The infuriating feeling when you have a song and a pairing that you really want to write something for, but your brain is filled with angry bees and you have no ideas on what to write about.

It's like when your foot falls asleep but it's your whole brain.

ooc notes:

I honestly really love the idea of Carol and Thor eventually becoming space-faring, galactic protector buds! They share a lot of similar ideals, and their individual tendencies to run hot and fly off the handle sometimes when they're feeling passionate can really create some fantastic dynamics! Now admittedly, my Thor does not adhere to the MCU canon, with the last canon event I'll adhere to being Tony's Funeral (an extremely brief description of what changes can be found in verse 1 and verse 4 on my carrd.), so I'm not sure how that might effect Carol's dynamics with him. But I'd be more than happy to talk about it wit you! :D
