August’s big thing is actually something they did many times already, but in the comfort of their own environment. This time, Allura booked their performance, one of her favorites, for a party - proud friend as she was, never shutting up about how many competitions they won her.

The standing ovation they get, seems accurate for the work they both put into getting there.

Bad Ending Bingo!

Any bad endings you anticipate happening?

[dropthedemiurge]

theres something thats always been on my mind about LFLS and I wanted to know if I was reading too much into it.

In the beach scene in the Epilogue, why is Myungha the only one of the four boys wearing pink? The other three are wearing blue. Do you think this is just a coincidence, or does it allude to something deeper?

That's an interesting question!

Honestly, I can tell for sure the wardrobe team paid special attention to Myungha's looks throughout the entire series, and I can tell you why exactly Myungha was wearing green-blue outfit + gem bracelet in his "past life" scenes (indication of losing his grandma, last person he loved and was loved by, and being stuck in the past emotions, not able to move on or climb out of his depression)

As well as why was he wearing black suit during meeting with his mom (it's not a funeral attire, that one looks different, it's a suicidal symbolic one as Myungha already made up his mind by then most likely and gave himself just one last unsuccessful chance)

...but there is nothing in my mind when it comes to why Myungha is the only one wearing pink in the final scene xD For sure it's indication of his "final transgression to the happy world" – he's wearing a white shirt when he constantly wore black one for the entire series, quietly pointing out that he was never happy inside despite his demeanor, but pink...

As far as I can tell, Koreans don't even really have the 'blue for boys, pink for girls' symbolism, and if it was fully white outfit, we could also say it indicates funerals in Asian symbolism, but...

Maybe sometimes pink shirt is just pink and it simply makes him stand out among others but also showing his inner change and embracing happiness and new life in these pastel tones – like a cherry tree, blossoming when new spring came (and in spring, Myungha left his previous life) :D

SUPER DUPER QUICK DRAWING!! There's so many Kirby game anniversaries this month...! I hope I can make proper drawings next time.

Part two of the Ivypool's Heart cats: All of the wildcats! Spoilers under the cut.

OKAY SO I thought I would have a harder time trying to make SIXTEEN tabby wildcat designs, having never drawn a design for this type of wildcat ever before, but I actually had fun with it. Had to do a couple practice sketches in my notebook to get the overall shape and feel down, but I think they came out alright. I found that image at the very end on a TikTok of someone talking about the European Wildcat (assumed to be the ones in the books), and I thought I'd put it here since it was a big help to me for designing these guys. If you look you'll notice that some of the wildcats look less like the 'pure' European wildcat; Strike Slash with his white underside, Purr Roll's bouncy fur, and some look more; Bound Hunt and Leap Growl. The thought process here was that over time with Galestar's line and other hybridizations the wildcats would become more hybridized, slowly drifting away from the 'pure' European wildcat. Bound Hunt is, in this respect, an example of what a completely non-hybridized wildcat would look like, and follows much of the image from that TikTok.

ANYWAYS, to start we have Tumble Leap and Stalk Purr, the first two wildcats the traveling cats meet, and their three kits Pounce Whisper, Stretch Blink, and Hunt Leap. Then is Bound Hunt, Galestar's second mate. And after is Strike Slash and Wish Stalk, who are also mates, and Claw Stretch and her daughter Hop Scratch. Then the elders Prowl Sleek, Hunt Growl, and Spring Claw. And finally the spirit guides of Whisper Claw for Pounce Whisper, Leap Growl for Tumble Leap, and Purr Roll for Stalk Purr.

A Father's Rage

Nothing filled him with more rage than this.

Well there may have been a few things in the past- Moon, Lunar's betrayal (though that was more pain and hurt than anger), not knowing who rebuilt him or why- but this.

This sparked a new, primal, fierce rage.

The two animatronics, EK and Mimic, had taken over Sun and Moon and his own body respectively.

That was fine. It gave him time to think of a way out, and what questions he wanted answered.

But the minute EK and Mimic had cornered Stitchwraith, his boys- his SONS- was bad enough.

EK grabbing and holding onto him, hearing them beg and cry for Eclipse to help them, had him seeing red.

Fuck whatever plan he originally had. He was acting now.

Outside the mindscape, Mimic tilted his head. It suddenly went quiet up there.

"What's the matter, Clipsey? Don't want to watch us tear your children apart? Too bad, get in here."

But there didn't seem to be any reaction. No voice, no pulling, nothing.

It was like Eclipse had suddenly vanished.

"What the-"

Before Mimic had time to properly question what was happening, he felt a searing pain through his endoskeleton, his circuits, wires, board, his very, twisted soul.

It felt like he was slowly being ripped apart.

"What are you doing," He heard himself begging, his filter switching between Sun, Moon, Roxanne, Charlie, Eclipse himself, Puppet, even Jake and Andrew. "Stop it you're going to kill us both! You're splitting me apart, you're going to kill me!" He screamed.

All he got was one word in return.

"Good."

Eclipse tore himself free from the Mimic, ejecting himself from his own mindscape.

The process hurt like hell, but right now that pain was a dull, faint throbbing compared to the searing, blinding rage he felt coursing through his circuits, like supercharged electricity through his arms and fingers and legs, buzzing in his head like a current.

He glanced past Mimic briefly to Stitchwraith and EK behind him.

Stitchwraith was watching, and Eclipse could see them trembling, their hood fallen from a failed escape attempt.

EK had an arm around their throat, claws out by his chest, watching Mimic and Eclipse with something of a twisted grin.

"Yes, yes, show them who you really are, Eclipse. Nothing but a violent, ruthless killer." The false Moon giggled and laughed like the maniac he was, free to behave as himself in such private company.

Eclipse snarled, his eyes fully white yet Mimic and EK and even Stitchwraith could feel the hatred emanating off of him.

"I'm the violent one? Says the one attacking innocent children. Pathetic too. Trying to kill someone that can't even fight back yet. You should know fighting back makes it more fun. And lucky for you I'm giving you that fight you wanted."

A second set of arms sprung from his waist, and his body began to elongate, springing forth suddenly like a coiled snake. The arms at his waist grabbed Mimic, the other attached to his torso grabbed hold of EK, slamming both animatronics down and giving Sticthwraith a chance to run away.

Eclipse glanced back, silently thanking them for running. He was going to get real violent and he didn't want them to see him like that...if they didn't already just from his buildup.

But he didn't think about it right now.

All that mattered right now was tearing out every wire and snapping every board and processor they had.

But he had to be a bit more careful with EK. That was still Sun and Moon's body, not his original.

No, that was in one of his pods.

They'd be switched back once he was done with Mimic.

Then he'd destroy EK.

But for now he'd focus on detaining EK and killing Mimic

The arms holding Mimic down lifted and slammed him back down as had as they could.

"You dare come to my dimension-"

Slam!

"Steal my face-"

Slam!

"-live my life-"

Slam!

-threaten my friends-"

Slam!

"-And threaten MY CHILDREN-"

SLAM!

"All for what? For some psychopath craving revenge? Tch, please. Like he wouldn't kill you himself when he didn't need you anymore." Eclipse towered over Mimic, lifting him up.

Bits of a shattered back panel and even pieces of board fell away, leaving the Mimic to twitch slightly, oil or blood dripping down his face, some even splattered across Eclipse' own. He didn't care which one it was.

As long as the son of a bitch was bleeding.

Mimic tried to speak, tried to emulate Foxy's voice, but instead came out barely understandable, though only one syllable was all Eclipse needed.

"M...mer-"

"Mercy? You don't deserve my mercy. You hardly deserve my shit talk. But you certainly deserve my anger. So do me a favor, Mimic. Turn up your voice box."

Eclipse leaned in close, a wide, wicked grin showing off rows of fangs.

"I want to hear you scream."

One hand slashed through Mimic's chest, then reached in with another to start ripping out wires, the second set holding his arms down so he couldn't get himself free.

Mimic screamed, his filter frantically shifting between voices until it cut back to his original voice.

"P-please...-"

"It's too late for begging. You lost that chance when you stole my body." He grabbed Mimic's jaw and ripped it off, tossing it aside.

"Y'know I changed my mind. I can't stand your voice anymore."

He reached into Mimic's chest, grabbed the voice box and ripped it out as well, even going so far as to crush it in his hands.

Finally he turned him over, sitting and holding his legs down with his weight, his second hands still holding his arms down.

"Don't worry. You'll see EK and your master soon enough." With one final motion he tore out the processor and motherboard, crushing them as well, as though they were nothing more than paper.

Finally, the Mimic went still, and Eclipse was greeted with silence finally.

Wait, silence? That wasn't quite right, yet, there was still one more.

He turned away from the Mimic's skeleton, and his eyes widened.

Somehow, during his killing the Mimic, EK had slipped away.

Then he heard a scream.

The boys.

His body clicked back into place before he ran after the screaming.

Stitchwraith had run away the second Eclipse got the two off of them, darting away into their room and hiding in the closet and shut the door, tucking as far into a corner as they could get.

It wasn't long before they could hear screaming in different voices and metal crashing against metal, then quiet, though they didn't dare leave yet.

Then they heard footsteps coming through the room and he stayed silent, listening quietly.

They stopped outside the closet for a minute before walking away. He let out a sigh.

Suddenly the door ripped open, and EK reached in and pulled them out.

Stitchwraith screamed for Eclipse, trying to pry EK's hands off of him.

"It's no use boy. You're not getting away from us again. Now hold still, this will only hurt a lot."

EK scratched his arms where he was holding them down, making them whimper as they struggled and shut their eyes tight.

Then they felt the weight leave them and heard EK stammering, then Eclipse.

"Fuck it. I can fix their body. Jake, Andy, keep your eyes shut."

They did what he said, even covered their closed eyes. They heard the sounds of metal creaking before hearing it crumple as it was crushed.

"Maybe this will keep your hands off my sons."

They heard more noise before it was finally quiet again, save for some heavy panting, though they couldn't tell if that was them or Eclipse.

They flinched when they felt a hand on their arm, though it was far more gentle than EK or Mimic had been.

"Jake? Andy, you can open your eyes now. It's ok, it's over now. You're safe now."

They slowly peeked their eyes open and looked up at Eclipse.

Oil dripped down his face, covered his hands and arms, some splattered across his torso.

He slowly sat up, glancing at the oil on his body before he turned to where EK was, though Eclipse stopped him, gently cupping his face to turn him away from the sight.

"Don't. Don't look at it. Are you hurt? Are you ok?"

Eclipse could see and feel them shaking. He figured his own state wasn't too helpful, covered in what was essentially EK and Mimic's blood.

But that didn't seem to stop Stitchwraith from throwing their arms around him in a tight hug, burying their face in his shoulder as they cried.

All four of Eclipse's arms came up around him just as tight, holding them as close as he could.

"E-Eclipse...! We were so s-scared! M-moon grabbed me and I couldn't get away from him or y-you and they said they w-would get rid of us..."

Eclipse rubbed his back and his head, trying to soothe him as his parental instinct and attendant code kicked into overdrive. He gently shushed him, ignoring the way his own body ached and trembled now that adrenaline was wearing off.

"It's ok. You're safe now, they're dealt with. Mimic won't come back, and I'm going to fix Sun and Moon and deal with EK. You're ok now, Jake, Andy. I'd never get rid of either of you. You're my boys. You'll always be my boys. My kids. And I'll always protect you."

Stitchwraith sniffled and looked at him.

"You promise...?"

"Yeah. I promise. Do me a favor. Go stay with the others while I clean this mess up."

"Ok...in a minute, please. I don't want to leave you yet..."

Eclipse sighed softly and moved, bringing them and sitting against a wall with them, cradling them against him a bit.

"Ok. We'll stay here for a bit then."

Sunday 6th April

Feeling a bit better this morning - still v chesty but less feverish. Had a slow morning lounging around and eventually we all went out for a walk. We saw some of Maggie's friends we don't see often and it was so lovely 🥰 and it was beautifully sunny!

Obvs had to have a little photoshoot

Came home after an hour and a half and I was exhausted and just flopped onto the couch. Matt did the shopping and came home and made lunch. I got up to do a couple of little jobs, sorted laundry and changed bedding, then sat out in the garden reading. Maggie joined me to chew her bone. Just two girlies enjoying a sunny afternoon ❤️

Stretched to try to ease some of the aching since I'm apparently well enough to work tomorrow 😑 so might as well try to prepare. Had a nice bath and used fancy face creams which seem to have irritated my eczema rather than helping it so now I'm extra red and blotchy 👌

[comfied-chriterature]

Do not separate them !!!!

Need these figures rn they're literally so me,,, I do the chiiin-anagooo and sakanaaaaaaaa poses all the time and no one knows I'm making an anime reference

[erikaslumbers]

Flower Feather Clan will always be the Anemo tribe to me, because Lianca was so Anemo coded (her constant talks about freedom and the way her bow is described as having gentle winds swirling about its strings)

yes just because of this

yes I know the Pyro Wayob Manifestation contradicts it

[celira]

it's either v cosmically rude or v convenient that the most significant traumatic events i've experienced in adulthood have stacked up between early feb and early march in any given year. body you can stop keeping the score any day now thx!!!

[goldensunset]

i don’t know why i start projects like this but i finally finished both strands of these like super long string braids after months. actually there are a total of four but the first two are shorter and i finished them months ago so like this was the real challenge. now we’ll see if i even want to do the ultimate step lol. i’m gonna combine them into one big bracelet or something but also they’re kinda cute on their own? yes i am posting this entirely because i want my patience and dedication, even to meaningless things, to be known to the world. look how small and tight those braids are it’s not easy
