At least the ruckus pulls Arm out of his conversation and back to his side. “Is there a problem,” he says in a tone that promises there better not be a problem, as he puts his hand on the small of Porsche’s back. Which is fine and Porsche can deal with that like he’s not a guy with a crush on the gorgeous man next to him so obviously he blushes. Or, Porsche has a crush on his three roommates and is totally chill about it. As long as people stop assuming he's dating them, his poor heart can't take this. Or, Six times people assume Porsche is dating Pete, Pol and Arm and one time he does something about it.

what do we think

[writingafterdeath]

you ever have those moments where you like have so many ideas for your writing. like too many ideas. and like you need just a small push into one direction. I guess that’s why I like prompts and stuff. like i need someone to tell me what to write for them. then my brain like jump starts itself.  i just never get any prompts.

How does the great Sandpiper successfully smuggle 130 children out of the Nilfgaard-occupied territory of Hamm? With the power of a forgotten story, a traditional song, and a masterful lie.

A piece for my upcoming fic, The Piper of Hamm, based on The Pied Piper of Hamelin, next in my fairy tale series.

Did you know that Rollo’s VA also does Licorice Cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom?? They really made him the most pathetic and nonserious baddie lmao

The gif is Rollo in anger management therapy, daydreaming about playing Whack-a-Malleus/j

YEAH, THEY REALLY DID... Rollo's VA (Hiroshi Kamiya)... playing the part of a sentient cookie trying to hard to be taken seriously as a bad guy but just failing at every turn... Turning to the forbidden arts of Black Magic just like Rollo turned to flowers that should have been exterminated to achieve his goals... 💀 Licorice Cookie's in-game description even tells us that he keeps a diary "filled with everyday rants and complaints could fill up a library" which sounds like SUCH a Rollo thing to do??????

Recently I learned that there's a ton of other TWST VAs that are in Cookie Run Kingdom, not just Kamiya-san! If I recall correctly:

Chiaki Kobayashi (Deuce's VA) plays Sparkling Cookie, a bartender known for his impeccable manners and serving delicious juice. How fitting for Juice Deuce Spade, who aspires to be a well-behaved honors student 🧃✨

Aoi Ichikawa (Ruggie's VA) plays Stardust Cookie, a lump of dough granted life from the stars. He now seeks a place to call home and a purpose for himself. I guess you can say Ruggie went on a trip to visit his mom among the stars... ⭐️💫

Nobuhiko Okamoto (Floyd's VA) plays Mint Choco Cookie, a skilled yet humble and polite violinist. This one’s the most different from his TWST counterpart; I think the only thing Floyd and Mint Choco have in common are that they can play instruments 🍬🎻

Wataru Komada (Jade's VA) plays Espresso Cookie, a researcher obsessed with the pursuit of coffee-related knowledge. A perfectionist, he's always preoccupied with work. This is Jade if he had a hyperfixation with coffee instead of mushrooms— (though I’m sure the two can also be combined) ☕️🍄

Nobunaga Shimazaki (Silver's VA) plays Clover Cookie, a bard that seeks inspiration for his songs. The local animals are often attracted to Clover Cookie. He and Silver are similar in coloration and have many animal companions! 🍀🐇

you wrap your name tight around my ribs (i was born for you)

“Good boy,” Chay says with dark, dark eyes. He releases Kim’s hair before he brushes a finger over his lip, he stills watching his finger for a moment. Covered in dark blood, Kim’s blood.

I finished the fic!! only took me four months, @snickerdoodlles you wanted to be tagged in this if i remember correctly

writer’s block | DC titans.

So I’m trying to develop a character for my titans fic or little blurbs I’m gonna eventually write or whatever. I prefer writing as an oc, and I’m in the process of developing her. I want her to have a superpower but I’m not sure what. A little bit of her backstory is that she’s a side kick to someone in the league. She grew up being close to Donna and Dick. She was apart of the original titans and retired after the whole Jericho situation. Anyway, these are the abilities I was trying to pick from. 

Reactive Adaptation - The ability to develop adaptations, powers, or skills in response to immediate threats. So like if underwater she could grow gills, or make her skin bulletproof when being shot at. Changing her eyes so she could see in the dark. May be able to read or speak different languages after moments of looking them up. this one I’m not sure who she’d be the sidekick of, but I think it would be a really cool ability. I’m thinking with the whole like underwater thing maybe aquman. 

Hyperkinetics - The mind's imaging systems and muscle control are perfectly in tune with the motor skills center of the brain. Hyperkinetics possess flawless aim, perfect balance, greatly enhanced motor skills, and perfect synchronization between thought and action. I was thinking maybe for this one she could be either like green arrows sidekick or black canary’s. 

edit: I also have the idea of maybe doing the whole storyline of her being like a trained assassin or something turned good and was adopted by some league memember. 

Or maybe something magical abilities, I don’t know. I guess I just need help.

so um... i found a pose reference that gave me big vanishay vibes, but then i got carried away then tried to turn it into a lore moment for some reason? 😭

i don’t totally like how his arm looks plus i couldn’t get him low enough because the height difference was making it a really awkward angle, but that’s what i get for copying the anime style again... it’s janky but close enough lmao full disclosure vanilla's bangs and face are heavily referenced bc they were giving me the most grief to copy, no thanks to all those damn little LINES. reference + transparent vers. under the cut!

book 1 cover art by @staarcaake

Stardust is a queer, semi-experimental web serial that blends space opera, gothic horror, and dystopia into a color-coded mess of neuroses, hallucinations, teen angst, fucked up family relationships, Judaism, gun kinks, political assassinations, extradimensional tentacles, and bad sex. as of May 2024, we're exactly halfway through book 1, and it's a great time to get caught up!

it updates the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month, and you can read it for free here. readers have suggested you might like it if you're a fan of Revolutionary Girl Utena, Homestuck, Battlestar Galactica (2003), The Locked Tomb, Fortiche's Arcane, Starship Troopers, and/or the music of Ada Rook. readers have also referred to it as "tired middle-aged man yaoi," "yuri shonen," and said they "want to chew on July like a squeaky toy."

UPDATE: FINISHED IT!!

you can read the full fic here:

preview of my new fic Monsoon Season (in which i saw this tweet and immediately took it so, so personally)

“Harrington, are you fucking kidding me?” Eddie asks as he slams a magazine down in front of Steve, rattling the coffee cup perched on the edge of the little round table.

Monsoon Season, the headline reads. Just who is the man behind America’s hottest new book series?

Steve’s eyes are far too full of mirth for Eddie’s liking. “They think it’s you, don’t they?”

“Of course they think it’s me, you jackass.” Eddie snatches the magazine back, sniffing indignantly as Steve openly laughs at him.

Eddie doesn’t have a workplace nemesis — does his best not to participate in all the petty office politics that go on in the publishing world, thank you very much — but ohhh, boy. If he did. If he did have one, it would be this fucking guy.

Steve fucking Harrington. Former King of Hawkins High, Current Pain in Eddie’s Ass, and not even in the fun way.

See, three years ago Eddie finally got his first big break — topped charts, stole hearts, and broke records with his swashbuckling adventure series aimed at the 10-13 year old crowd. He hadn’t ever really planned to become a children’s author, but hey, turns out he’s great at spinning a tale that a fifth grader can’t put down. Kids love him, parents love him, and now—

Well, now, parents hate him. Are two seconds away from calling for his fucking head. And that’s the whole problem, isn’t it?

One group of ravenous mommy blogger watchdogs becomes unwaveringly convinced that beloved children’s author Eddie Munson is secretly writing filthy gay erotica under the pen name Freddie Monsoon, and now his whole career is in jeopardy.

It’s not even a good pen name.

“A source close to Munson assures us this scorching erotica can’t be his doing,” the article in Eddie’s claw-like grip reads. “‘He’s stupid,’ our source tells us with a bright laugh and a wink, ‘but not that stupid.’”

You know who is that fucking stupid, though?

“You’re still here?” Steve asks mildly while Eddie glares some more.

He knows the pen name belongs to Steve, because one, Chrissy’s a gossip and told him the second she found out, and two, King Shithead himself told Eddie to his face. Gloated about it in this very coffee shop, actually; smirked over the lip of a chai latte while angry mothers protested with homemade signs on the sidewalk outside of the building.

“Yes, I’m still here! Why the hell are you doing this to me, man?”

Does he know how many angry emails Eddie’s gotten in the last hour alone? Seriously, what the fuck?

Steve slides another glance his way — sideways through hooded lids, some sadistic delight gleaming just below the veneer. “Because I like it when you’re flustered,” he smirks, and then he stands to collect his things. “See you tomorrow, Munson.”

Just a little snippet for the stardust fugitive au

Looking at the ship monitors, displaying the input of the outer cameras you couldnt help raising your eyebrows.

"Eclipse? I thought this was the edge of the universe? Shouldnt there be.... you know, no stars in front of us?"

Looking back at him you realized all three of them stood closely behind you, almost caging you in, their eyes locked in a silent conversation. Suns ventilation had kicked in with a sputtering, telltale clacking of the loose fan blade making you cringe slightly as you wait for them.

Eclipse played sigh_tired.mp3 as he looks back at you.

"We used to do some jobs around here. For some reason people with a big bounty on their head often think that fleeing to the edge of the universe is a good idea."

He made a dramatic motion towards the screens.

"Those arent stars. That's what happens to fools like you. 800 years of explorers, fugitives, and people not realizing where they were....

Those are 800 years worth of ships reflecting the light of the universe.

The locals call those bright spots Sirens. Promising that the universe is not yet ending here, that there is more. Or for a nifty person maybe a big graveyard full of treasure. Its all the same to the nothingness out there anyways"

Sun chimed in gently but with an unsteady wirring to his voice.

"Oh shuh you and your big speeches.... but this is exactly why they told you to come here stardust. You see out there is just nothingness not even the gravitation of the universe. Which means if you get in there you can not get out by your own anymore you will keep your trajectory but cannot change anything about it. All these ships are still on exactly the same course they entered the abyss in. So if we throw in that thing with enough force it will be forever gone ... right?"

You blink

"Like, light speed?"

Sun nodded

"Like light speed."

"Why do i have a bad feeling about how we will do that?"

The blue bot leaned against a suporting beam, arms crossed, shit eating grin on his face.

Both you and Sun looked towards the light speed control panel of the ship as Eclipse hastily put himself in the entrance to the controll area-

"No nonono! NO way i am going to sacrefice my ship for the good of the universe!"
