Awwww i love these tc challenges ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Kinda long lol

I first saw my tc on the first day of my last year in school (this year). We have this thing where in assembly they introduce the new teachers every year and thats when i first saw him. My honest thoughts were just "oh hes cute!!"

And then i started hating him for a solid week cause some other girls were crushing on him and even though he didnt do anything i was like "why tf does he have to act so smug and all cocky!?!?!?"

Later i realized that it was just jealousy....i was jealous of those girls.

I remember the EXACT moment and reason why i fell in love with him too but its gonna be too long lol

GIVE US PREGNANT YN WITH TC JK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[silksongeveryday]

Drawing Hornet everyday until Silksong comes out - Day 731.

Well, after two long years of posting, I’m finally taking a break.

Thank you guys for everything for the past two years. It’s genuinely been so fun making daily doodles. But all good things must come to an end eventually. I’m tired.

What are the plans moving forward?

read below the cut if you’d like to know!!

Taking a break:

Life in general has been really rough lately. Tons of family drama, personal medical issues making it impossible to function some days, and my childhood dog recently passed away a few days after Christmas last year. So it was a real challenge to “keep up appearances” if you know what I mean.

I’ve said this plenty of times in the past already, however I’ll repeat it since there’s surprisingly a lot more new people that have followed since then. I’m taking a whole month off from posting entirely. So I won’t be active on Silksongeveryday until about March 14th. Why? Hopefully it’s obvious but posting daily content for two years straight really does something to you. I’ve grown tired of this blog just a little bit, and I feel stepping away from it for a month will help me reconnect. I still love the game and its community, and I’d hate for my disinterest in a single blog to ruin that. If a month long break could fix that then so be it.

I’m also taking a somewhat indefinite break from daily doodles. I WILL still be posting doodles occasionally every once in a while after I come back from my month long break. However I won’t be doing daily doodles.

So no daily doodles ever again?

There is only one condition that has to be met for me to return to daily doodles.

A Silksong release date is announced.

Which is…let’s face it, a release date might not happen any time soon. 6 years of near radio silence from TC? I’m not expecting much, especially not in a month.

But WHEN a release date is announced I’ll definitely return to daily doodles and do a sort of daily “countdown” until Silksong is officially out.

Will doodle requests still be open?

Yes! Even if I will no longer be doing daily posts I will still occasionally post every once in a while with doodles! So if there’s a specific doodle you’d like to request and you have an extra $1 hanging around, hornet doodle requests are open on my ko-fi!!

What about the current projects that were happening on Silksongeveryday?

I’m still working on them! Just as mentioned before, a lot of stuff happened irl so it’s kind of on the back burner.

For the Hornet Journal Series: I plan to post the remaining entries after I come back from my month long break. Whether I work on them during that month long break totally depends on how I’m feeling. But there may be a likely chance I work on a few here and there on my own time! But regardless, I do plan to finish this project. So no worries!

For Hornet’s Strange adventures: I know it’s been ages since this particular project finished on the blog. Development for the free game is slow going since I’m working on this project entirely by myself with a game engine I’ve never used before. Progress is being made but it’s unfortunately slow thanks for irl conflicts. But, just like the journal series, I do plan to finish this project so I promise it won’t be abandoned!! I just need a break first lol.

___________

I think that’s all I have to say?? But if anyone has any questions, asks are always open and I’m more than happy to answer just about anything!

Thanks again for the wonderful experience, it’s been an amazing journey with you guys <3

See you all in a month!!

[mechncheese]

im sorry i should have asked this before i rigged and weight painted him. But i am a Coward. so haha do you have any idea what science cont tc's back kibble n wing joints look like?

i had this as a sort of improvised stand-in to show how it Could work functionally but im not sure i like how it looks compared to the rest of the model

base of wings are attached to a slot on the back kibble and can move and rotate vertically. then extends out from there to meet the wing proper at a joint which can be moved independently from the first joint in the back. the extra joint is so he can raise and lower his wings a bit more than if they were just attached, if that makes sense

i also was struggling find any good references for seeker back kibble in general to go off of (+ i am Toyless so no physical references) so just any critiques about the whole thing would be welcome. to clarify, im not asking for art or refs that may not exist yet, just opinions

sorry for sending in more of a text wall than usual ive been mulling over this a bit LOL

NO WORRIES AT ALL OMG THIS IS A REALLY INCREDIBLE, I SEE HOW IT WORKS REALLY NICELY !! I think that it functions really smoothly, esp for improvising ! It's super impressive holy shit

I'm so fr I didn't really think about how Thundercracker's wings would functionally work/fold until today and since receiving this ask, I threw myself into a frenzy trying to also figure it otherwise it'd become an itch in my head </3

I know you said you weren't looking for art or refs and just opinions, but I work better when I work things out visually so I’ll give you my take on how I think TC's wings might work-- This was like a fun challenge/puzzle to me !

also clarifying you totally don't have to go with this or anything of the sort, this is just how it might work in my head !

Sliding hinges along the side of his back was the first thing I thought of ! I also separated the base/shoulder of the wings into two parts so it lets the wing fold down. Also similar to what you have going there’s a gap inbetween the back where the hinge is and that can allow the base of his wings to slide closer into to the back (I’m so bad with explaining words I hope that makes any sense </3)

HONESTLY I'M NOT A GREAT ENGINEER and I took a lot of liberty with the fact that Im working with 2D so idk how difficult any of this would transfer to 3D ! Feel free to alter/change this however you please if you so wish !

THAT'S REALLY AWESOME THAT YOU IMPROVISED WHAT YOU HAVE IM SO SERIOUS, I HAD ALL 4 OF MY JET TRANSFORMER FIGURINES TO REFERENCE AND I WAS STILL SCRATCHING MY HEAD FOR LIKE.. a good few hours about it

Again, you don't have to go with any of this at all ! This is mostly me brainstorming as well ! What you have is incredible, esp for going off of no reference for his back kibble and wing joints !

[redux-iterum]

Hi yes, discovered this literally 3 days ago and am Obsessed! Something I noticed in my read-through is how Fireheart contains qualities from ALL the clans (no doubt intentional) and how his opening dreams seem to contain landscapes of multiple clans (like he was "destined" to be a clan cat, but which clan was up in the air). So I guess the question is, while I think he could have thrived in any clan, which would suit him the most?

Thunderclan was the most convenient, yes, with them sharing a border with the Houses and Bluestar (at least in the books) being desperate. Fire does share a lot of traits with them like their loyalty, but it's evident in the Redux that there are moments where their opposing views scrape against each other.

Fire's friendliness matches well with RiverClan and his endless curiosity about the culture would have been answered time after time again with all their stories (maybe he'd have even learned to count!), their extra familiarity with humans on the path could have smoothed the way a bit too! Firepaw could have really benefitted from the more relaxed lifestyle of RiverClan too (though he'd have to get used to swimming real fast).

WindClan could also help sate his curiosity with their knowledge of the outside would alongside the clans, and I'm sure Firepaw would have taken to learning Fang like a fish to water (who knows how good he would actually be though). Their dry humor would mesh well with his general friendliness as we see with Wrenwhisker and the clan is also certainly no strangers to more outward friendliness, just look at Larkbelly!

Finally, ShadowClan seems like the least obvious choice, but if we choose to temporarily ignore BrokenStar (maybe in a hypothetical Fire joined or was born late), he also shares a lot of similarities with the marsh cats too! He is certainly hard working enough for the clan to take advantage of and the town wouldn't be that much of a shock for Fire to get used to, different, yes, but not exactly new. This is also yet another clan that would gladly tell Fire ALLL about StarClan and it's stories (maybe I'm just saying TC needs to share more), plus it seems like Fire was practically MADE to be a Warden, with his love for caring for others. Plus, look on the bright side! This may be the one clan where Fire would be bigger than the rest of the cats!

Sorry for the long ask but I'm kinda obsessed with this idea (obviously none of them are perfect, not even considering HOW he would join each clan) but I find it a very interesting mind teaser that I would love to hear your views on! <3

Hello and welcome to the party! Glad to have you on board, and with an interesting ask.

People have asked before what it would be like for him in other Clans, and I've held the answer that he really could make it in any of them, though each would come with their own difficulties. RiverClan's swimming, WindClan's speed and larger prey, ThunderClan's standoffish attitude and favoring of physical strength, and ShadowClan's consistent stretches of hunger all present a serious challenge for him, even with the positives that you've listed. Yellowfang was right that he could've ended up in any Clan and been fine. Those sparks Spottedleaf saw were not just visible in the forest, after all.

I think the question, then, could be altered from "which would he do best in" (since the answer is "any of them, pretty equally") to "which Clan would benefit from having him the most". The answer to that is ThunderClan. Fireheart would be a normal, friendly, well-liked warrior in all of the Clans, but that wouldn't make him remarkable. It's ThunderClan that desperately needs his guidance and steadfast refusal to look away when someone outside of his group is hurting. He is special in this story because he ended up in the Clan where he would stand out the most, and the changes made due to his personality and willpower are much more significant as a result. He struggles in a way unique to ThunderClan's culture that he wouldn't in the other territories.

This is one of those things where the Clans themselves need to be considered more than Fireheart does. Who would do best with him in it, not where he could do best himself, if that makes sense. And God knows ThunderClan has definitely been behooved by bringing him into their circle.

Find the Word Tag

haven't done a tag game in forever ahhh I need to get back into it fr fr

got tagged by @tc-doherty, thank you lovely!! their post here

rules: share a snippet from any work for each given word

all of these are from my current WIP, A Case Study on Immolation :)

Ritual

didn't find this one in any of my stories somehow?? wahh rip

Fast

“He thinks we’re studying molecular biology for fun.” That was their latest topic in the list of the hundred prerequisites necessary for learning biotransmutation, which they all were aware of, Florin included. He’d picked up on their intentions quickly enough and had been rather tickled by the whole thing. ‘Couldn’t have picked a harder challenge, could you?’ had been his exact phrasing. Quilin hadn’t bothered to point out he’d gotten invested in their studies suspiciously fast.

Mirror

Generally speaking, Quilin tended to ignore his body. It housed many less-than-desirable qualities, so he opted to pay it as little attention as possible. For the most part, this was easy enough to do. What some people referred to as his ‘obsessive tendencies’ served him excellently. As long as he had his textbooks and notes and articles, he could go entire nights without sleep, entire days without food, entire weeks without once looking at the mirror for too long. He could ignore the nausea. The aching muscles. The shortness of breath. It was his heart, however, that never failed to distract him from his distractions.

Spice Seasoning again didn't find the word wah

Quilin’s discomfort grew as the table filled with breads, sautéed vegetables, sauces, and all the mixing smells gave rise to a mild nausea. Meats were served, too, but the odds of the chefs using only salt in their seasoning were slim to none, so Quilin would rather not touch any of them. He wasn’t left stranded, however, as one waiter approached him with a plate of roasted pork belly and poached eggs. Normally, Quilin would ask for a detailed preparation rundown, but the man left too quickly for Quilin to even open his mouth. He poked the pork with his fork, frowning a little, and decided he wasn’t all that hungry.

Snow

The two of them sat huddled on Greta’s dorm’s floor, frozen dirt between them. They’d dug out patches of brown grass from under the snow, and half of it was already laying in the discarded pile, the grass blades blackened. Greta brought a handful of dirt closer to her face, drawing slow circles above the wilted grass with her free hand. “Water,” she murmured. Quilin willed several drops out of the glass between them. He settled them gently over the blades Greta was focusing on and held them in place as Greta made use of the additional molecules to repair the damage. Or, reverse it, as she’d put it.

December week 3 TC question challenge

How it works- When u get this in your inbox, answer the ask and forward it to 5 other TCC moots❤️❤️

3. What's your most cutest/ most favorite moment with your tc? Or something special they do only with you (if that makes sense)? (long answers only 🤭🤭)

Aaaaahhhh omg I have so many!!! This is gonna be a long post.

At the end of every school year, we have a carnival where the clubs set up booths for activities, food etc. I was doing face painting! I asked if he was going to the carnival and he replied "eh probably not, im kinda busy with report cards and its so hot outside" I told him that I was doing face painting and said "u should let me paint on u eheh" and he said "ooh alright haha" so basically I convinced him to go JUST FOR ME?!?!!

He was sitting in a chair while I was standing and painting him. I asked if he wanted an outline on the drawing and he said "whatever u want, im yours" DID I HEAR THAT RIGHT?!? HES MINE CANSKJERTAREJLCWERYHFFJDHK IM SCREAMING I am never getting over this. The entire time while i was painting on him it felt so intimate/?! like the words stopped and it was just us in the moment. I got to really admire him and his stubble and my fingers occasionally grazed him and omggggg ugh he's so so handsome. After I was finished, he took his phone out and I assumed he was just checking to see if it looked good, which he did, but then he said "hey get in " I CANT BELIBE HE WANTED TO TAKE A SELFIE WITH ME ANCASKLNASLDFCA HE TOOK 2 PHOTOS. Then we took one on my phone <3 he's so cute I love him so so much

Second moment...

It was the end of class so I left his classroom and I was like a couple feet away from the door. It was pouring rain so I wanted to get home quickly as i walked out. All of a sudden I hear him yell my name and I spin around. He was about a foot away from the doorway. HE LITERLALY RAN OUT INTO THE POURING RAIN TO CHECK IN WITH ME TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS BEING TAUGHT AND SAID "BYE HAVE A GOOD WEEKENED" NACKLNCASDHL

Ok last one ahahaha

I was offering my friend some candy and he walked by and said "that is a large bag of candy" I asked "would u like some?" And he replied "I shouldn't even be eating these" as he grabbed some.

I was telling him how my valentine got them for me, and he said "oh I thought I was ur valentine" and put his hand over his heart like it was broken and made a sad face. I replied "aw I'm sorry" cuz I literally did not know how to reply to that so I just said the first thing that came to mind. And then he said "nah I'm just joking" LIKE WHAT HUH U CANT JUST SAY THAT TO ME?!?!?! HELPPPPPPP

Hmmm I would say something special he only does with me is that he trusts me with his car :) he also reccomends me songs since we have the same music taste

December week 1 TC question challenge (first time doing this lol)

How it works- When u get this in your inbox, answer the ask and forward it to 5 other TCC moots ❤️❤️

What was ur thoughts about your TC when you first saw your TC?

omg this is an excellent question. i'm going to give a dramatic retelling.

picture: towards the end of sophomore year. K comes into my math class to advertise the advanced level math class he's going to be teaching next year and encouraging us to choose it if we're interested in math (they usually send you your placement based on PSAT scores and whatnot but you're allowed to opt out of the advanced class and to the normal class if you don't want to put yourself through that)

so he was saying like if you feel like you have what it takes do it. and bro did not look at me once while he was talking.

i had such a huge ego took it so personally like do you not know who i am i was class topper two years in a row like???? helloo???? like all the math teachers in the department were so nice to me and he didn't even acknowledge my existence and i'm just sitting there like i'm going to make you like me whether you like it or not.

(and lowkey that's what i did :D)

the next time i saw him. picture: first day of junior year. i'm hot and bored and i have to go to the advanced level math orientation thingy (like on the first day you go to all your classes and they explain the syllabus etc etc) but anyway my mindset was that i need to impress K, i need to him to think i'm smart, yk the typical traumatized gifted kid thing.

this time was completely different from last year so i go in with my friend and we sit in the front and then he comes in and starts taking attendance and when he gets to my name (very near the beginning of the attendance list) he's like "anastasia -- " then he looks up at me and says "there you are" before i can even say a word

AND INTERNALLY I'M LIKE OKAY SO YOU DO KNOW WHO I AM BRO

like my friend and i immediately exchanged a look when that happened. now i know that he just knew me because i look like my mother and because of my last name and he couldn't look me in the eye for the first several weeks because it was freaking him out how much i looked like my mother.

but anyway that's the gist of it!

by the way i think i was sent this ask twice i just responded to the more recent one.

also guys send more questions i actually love answering.

Three's Company - Chapter 7: Normality

TC 7 - Normality

The Tower was starting to get back to normal. Or perhaps their new arrangement was becoming their new normal. The first time Cyborg had walked into the common room to find Beast Boy and Starfire sat next to each other on the couch, he had paused, honestly unsure how welcome he would be. Until Beast Boy craned his neck around to look at him.

"There he is! You up to challenge the Street Combat master?" he asked, grinning wickedly. Cyborg smiled back.

"Sure am. But I guess I could play you until they get here," he teased. Beast Boy grumbled wordlessly.

"Burn," Raven added, eyes still glued to her book as she lay across them both, her head in Starfire's lap and her legs in Beast Boy's.

"Hey, you're supposed to be on my side," Beast Boy chuckled. Raven, still reading, raised her hand and waved an imaginary flag.

"Go Garfield, ra ra ra," she deadpanned. Beast Boy tried and failed to frown at her and looked up at the screen as Cyborg tossed him a controller. Starfire leaned down to speak quietly to Raven.

"Did Cyborg not understand Garfield's claim to the mastery?" she asked. Raven finally looked away and up into Starfire's eyes.

"He did, but by pretending not to he insinuated that Garfield is incapable of such skill," she explained. Starfire nodded and giggled.

"I see, it is the trash talk!" she said. Raven smiled as well.

"Exactly," she confirmed, and while she wanted to return to her book, she found her gaze locked as Starfire beamed down at her. Her fingers ran gently through her hair and then tapped her on the nose.

"Boop" Starfire said, giving Raven one more smile before turning her attention to the screen as the game started. Raven resumed reading her book, unaware that Cyborg had watched the entire exchange. Honestly, he had thought that seeing Beast Boy with either or both of his girlfriends would be strange, but the way Raven had looked at Starfire, that was the real eye-opener.

"Come on, Cy, choose your guy," Beast Boy complained. "Afraid to face me?" he growled, baring his teeth and flexing his arms. Cyborg snorted.

"Yeah, right. Prepare to get stomped, salad top!" he cried.

"Same to you, meat head!" Beast Boy answered. Their battle was ruthless and long, each of them knowing the other too well for either to claim a quick victory. A new wrinkle was that Starfire, who had always cheered for everyone who played at the same time, was very much on Team Beast Boy this time, though she was careful not to move around too much for Raven's sake. Narrowly, Beast Boy won the first round.

"Well done, Garfield!" Starfire sang, throwing her hands up.

"Wooooooo," Raven drawled, turning a page. Cyborg grumbled through a smile at the one-sided support. With a sadistic grin, he took the next round.

"Do not give in, Garfield! Victory is still within reach," Starfire said, leaning over and shaking him by the shoulders. To his credit, he only chuckled as she released him back to his game. The final round was even more closely fought, each fighter warily chipping away at the other until they each had only a tiny amount of health remaining - the next one to land a hit, any hit, would win. Eventually, Cyborg saw his moment, a mis-step from Beast Boy and charged in to deliver the final blow. But it was a feint. To his horror, Beast Boy's character leapt up and, by the barest of margins, avoided the attack. Then, while Cyborg's character completed the sequence, Beast Boy darted forward and tapped him with a jab, his weakest attack. With a dramatic wail, Cyborg's character threw itself to the ground in appropriately dramatic slow motion.

"Nnnnnnnnooooooooo..." Cyborg groaned.

"YYYEAAAH!"Beast Boy cheered.

"Victory!" Starfire sang, clapping her hands before reaching for Raven's book and tossing it into the air. She took Raven's arms and yanked them around Beast Boy's shoulders in a clumsy embrace before wrapping the both of them in her own. Raven only blinked and casually levitated her book down to the floor safely.

Even Nightwing's finely honed detective skills took a moment to interpret the scene: Raven awkwardly but passively sandwiched between Beast Boy and Starfire on one side of the couch while Cyborg whimpered into his hands on the other, the monitor still flashing his defeat at the room. He opened his mouth to speak but quickly looked away when Starfire took Beast Boy's head in her hands and tilted it up, leaning over to kiss him. He was honestly surprised at himself. He took a breath and forced himself to look at his friends... and grimaced. It hurt. He had no right to hurt but he couldn't help it. He would just have to live with it, after all he was happy with Barbara, honestly. The reminder of what he had softened the pain, and he even found it in himself to smile at his friends a little.

"Krrrhhhh? Ghhhr?"

Starfire broke the kiss and looked down: Raven's face was smushed into Beast Boy's chest by her own, and she quickly relaxed her embrace. Raven took a deep, exaggerated breath before looking over her shoulder at her sheepish girlfriend.

"Thank you, Kori. Fond as I am of your cleavage, I'm not sure I'm ready to die in it," she said. Beast Boy's eyes were as wide as saucers and Cyborg burst into a laugh so violent it was followed immediately by a coughing fit.

"Is that so?" Kori asked, her smile becoming sly instead, and Raven was certain her throwaway gag would have a more lasting impact that she'd thought. What the hell, why not play along? Raven took a long glance at Starfire's bust then smirked as she returned to her green eyes. No words were needed, and Starfire grinned back, showing teeth. Despite having evolved from felines, Tamaranean canines were only slightly longer than a typical human's, in fact Beast Boy's were much more pronounced. And yet, somehow, Starfire's smile had a distinctly predatory vibe to it, and Raven felt heat creep up her neck. Even from his more distant vantage point, Nightwing recognised - and remembered - that look. He cleared his throat and tried to act like he hadn't even seen the last few minutes.

"Who's hungry?" he called out, examining a takeout menu. The heat in Starfire's smile diminished, but she didn't look away from Raven.

"I am. And I feel a great... thirst," she said, drawing out the word as her face moved closer. Then she booped Raven on the nose again and stood up to go and peruse the menu. Cyborg was already there so Beast Boy was the only one who heard when Raven muttered to him.

"I knew I would regret you teaching her that word," she said. Beast Boy, whose eyes had followed Starfire as Raven's had, replied back in a subdued monotone.

"Don't even lie, you don't regret a single second of that." Raven sighed.

"Yeah. Yeah, okay." She stood and joined the others perusing the menu. What would she have? The room flashed red and the monitor displayed an alert, meaning the Titans would have to go hungry a little while longer.

"Titans go!" Nightwing cried.

It was a simple alert, but far from easy. An enterprising criminal, eager to climb to the top of the crooked heap, had managed to acquire advanced weaponry. While many villains decided Jump City wasn't worth the effort of confrontation with the Titans, they were more than happy to interfere in small, petty ways, by selling their technology to people stupid enough to use them. And so the Titans found themselves pursuing a beaten up truck while a man in the back fired a high-powered laser weapon at them, laughing all the while.

"Hahahahaaa! Give it up, Titans! You're no match for... Laser Man!" he cried. Nightwing, giving chase on his motorcycle, groaned.

"Ugh... he doesn't need a laser to beat me. If he keeps using that name I'll surrender," he muttered.

"Maybe that was his evil, evil plan all along," Cyborg replied through the radio, following in the T-Car. Nightwing snorted, then twisted the accelerator. Starfire, Beast Boy and Raven darted around in the air, holding their quarry's focus while Nightwing advanced. He passed the truck and, with an artful but unnecessary flip, landed on the vehicle's hood. He crouched and saw the driver, a terrified but otherwise unremarkable man. Nightwing looked him in the eye and shouted.

"Maybe just pull over now and get it over with." The driver glanced fearfully over his shoulder. "Don't worry about him," Nightwing shouted, and clambered toward the cackling man in the back. With an embarrasingly short martial display, his enemy was subdued and the truck slowed to a safe and complete stop. Nightwing none-too-gently booted 'Laser Man' to the ground, tossing the weapon to Starfire as she landed nearby. "Recognise it?" he asked.

"Hmmm... perhaps," Starfire said, eyeing the weapon critically. "It bears a resemblance to Rannian technology, but the materials are all different. Perhaps it is reverse engineered."

"That makes sense," said Cyborg, exiting his car. "No way anyone would waste original alien tech on this guy." Beast Boy alighted next to him, shifting from bird to man.

"This guy?" Laser Man hissed. "THIS GUY?! Nobody disrespects Laser Man! Self-destruct, minimum radius!" With that command, the weapon emitted a shrill beep and, a second later, erupted into a bright, red light about six feet in diameter, with Starfire vanishing into it.

"Star!" Beast Boy cried, running forward.

"Hahaha! Laser Man is always ready. LASER MAN IS ALWAYS... always... ah nuts," he ended weakly. The light from his destroyed weapon faded and, much to Beast Boy's relief, revealed a smoldering but largely unharmed Starfire. She glanced down at her scorched outfit, then glared at him with barely restrained malice.

"I. Liked. This. Outfit." she snarled, tightly. Her eyes glittered dangerously and green light lanced out from them, burning a line only an inch from Laser Man's fingers as they sat on the ground.

"Whoa! Hey, come on, don't hurt me! I got kids out there somewhere..." he tried. An unnaturally deep voice seemed to surround him in answer.

"They'd be better off without you." With that, pools of shadow sprang up around him, tendrils of darkness emerging to wrap around his limbs and hoist him high into the air and face to face with a volcanically angry Raven, eyes red and promising vengeance. "Give me one good reason not to rip you apart and throw the remains straight to hell," she asked, with alarming calm.

"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-," he stammered. Fortunately for him, he wasn't alone.

"Because I asked you not to," Starfire said, rising up to them. Raven appeared to pause to think.

"Very well," she muttered. The shadows vanished and Laser Man plummeted with an undignified shriek, until Starfire caught him and dropped him at Nightwing's feet. He was quickly cuffed and picked up by local law enforcement. Raven had made a point of floating high above the ground but within his line of sight, her eyes glowing just enough to be seen in the shadow of her hood, and he squirmed under her watchfulness. Nightwing watched her in turn, cautiously. Beast Boy and Starfire had embraced, showing their gladness, but Raven would only hover and stare at her enemy. When he was taken away, she finally descended to the ground. Her head was bowed, so her cloak covered her eyes, and she took Starfire's hand in both of hers, holding it wordlessly. They decided to pile into Cyborg's car to head back, and she never let go.

Later, back at the Tower, Nightwing called the others to attention.

"We need to discuss what just happened. Raven. Don't you think you took things too far?" he asked. Raven didn't even glance up at him.

"No," she said.

"Raven, you traumatized the guy!" He-"

"He tried to kill my girlfriend. He's lucky I only threatened him.," she interrupted. She had tilted her head up now, and a single, deep blue eye glared up at Nightwing.

"You only meant to frighten him?" he asked, a little mollified. Raven snorted humorlessly.

"I meant to make him so afraid he won't be able to hear my name without soiling himself. Considering how furious I am... I believe I showed admirable restraint. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to meditate before I yank the Tower off the island and throw it into the sea." With that, she turned and marched to the door, her cloak billowing behind her. Beast Boy and Starfire made to follow, but she shook her head. "I'm sorry. I need to be alone for a while." And she was gone.

"Well," Nightwing said, rubbing his temples, "that could have been worse, I suppose." Behind him, Cyborg switched on the TV.

"Uhhhhh... Dick?" he said. Nightwing turned and saw the screen showing amateur footage of Raven's display all over the news. He groaned.

"It's worse."

Uh. Hi.

Pierre in the Beyond The Grid podcast talking about his relationship with Esteban (and Yuki)

transcript under the cut

Tom Clarkson: Now, so much is made in the media about your relationship with your teammate, with Esteban. Have you rubbed along better as teammates than you were expecting?

Pierre: You know, I knew that it will not be easy…but at the same time I knew that we have grown up a lot. I was a little worried on how he’ll welcome me and how he’ll, let’s say, work with me…I was not too tense, I knew how would I approach it, and I know Esteban since a long time, so I sort of know how we work and we have different personalities, we are just two different type of people. But ultimately I think we’ve been working really well. You know, I think we understood the responsibility…my main concern was to work well with him, to make sure that we extract the maximum of the car, the maximum out of the team, that we’re both pushing in the same direction, and ultimately there’ll always gonna be a sort of healthy rivalry - one wanting to beat the other and this happens in every team. But what I cared the most is just make sure that, you know, this doesn’t impact the sort of evolution of the team and the evolution of the car, you need to...okay, its fine to have a rivalry, but we both need to walk towards the same direction, we all gotta be pushing the team forward and push the development and I must say its been exactly what we’ve been doing. I will not say we’re friends, we dont spend really much time together, but when we get to the track, this is work, and when we’re at work, we are mature and responsible and we are delivering. We have quite similar feedback, been pushing the team and requesting pretty much the same thing out of that car and how we’d like the team to develop, so I must say in terms of working relationship – it’s very formal, let’s say, between us, but thats, you know, thats all I can ask, because, yeah…at the end of the day I just want to be competitive.

TC: I’m thinking of MotoGP when Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo were at Yamaha, they literally had two different teams within the team, but its not like that at Alpine…

Pierre: No, no, honestly, it’s not like this…I mean, I know, I know Esteban won’t invite me for dinner, but I’m fine with that. You know, it’s very, let’s say, it’s very different to what I had with Yuki, you know, Yuki was very unique…and you know, in Austin I had a chat with Sir Jackie Stewart, and it was just very inspiring to hear his relationship with Francois Cevert. And as he was talking, it’s almost like I could relate to my relationship with Yuki, in the way that he came to F1, I was supporting and trying to help and it was a very genuine and healthy relationship. Now with Esteban you know we are both fighting for our career, we both wanna make it to the top, we both wanna be the leaders of the team, and you know, its fine, I accept that and I actually embrace the challenge, I embrace the competition, because at the end of the day Esteban is a very fast and very talented driver, and thats what you need also as a teammate, you need someone that’s gonna be pushing you, someone that’s gonna be pushing the team, you want someone that is competitive. And I really respect that it’s…I know how much he wants to beat me. At the same time he knows exactly how much I wanna beat him every single time, and it’s not something which is personal, because at the end of the day I care about all 19 drivers and as I say, I dont wanna beat Esteban, I wanna beat everyone. To beat everyone, I need Esteban to be pushing me and to be pushing the team to improve the car, and that’s exactly what we’ve been doing. So I think probably not as exciting for the media, they have all the sparks and stories and drama people would have expected, but it’s been…yeah it’s been great.

▼ for Kristy ♒️ for Miles and ❤️ for your choice

But ofc she’s asking for miles… (tbf he is the best one)

Kirsty - Childhood Headcanon

As an only child, Kirsty was often lonely. She loved the hustle and bustle of her best friend Jenna’s house, whereas Jenna much preferred the quiet of Kirsty’s, away from her own four siblings.

Miles - Food/Cooking Headcanon

Oh, god. He HATES cooking. Loathes it with a passion. Didn’t like it before his accident, and now with the added challenge of manoeuvring himself around a kitchen… He’d much rather just go out to a restaurant, honestly. Anyone fancy going with him? Anyone?

Doug - Family Headcanon

So much of TC takes place in Edinburgh, but Doug was actually born in Glasgow. He moved to Edinburgh to work on the docks, leaving his family behind in Paisley. He didn’t really miss them. His father struggled with PTSD, alcoholism and violent tendencies after he fought in the Second World War.

[gameboy-berry]

Going to leave this here

Don't ask what the classes are, because I have no idea for most of them. I guess Knight Helmet is a Page, Slipper is either one of the stealing classes or a prince(because heart-breaker lol), Chainsaw is a Bard, Treasure Chest is a Knight, and Journal is a Seer?? I was going by what was in the comic(which tends to be very vague), so bear with me here.

Here are some explanations for some of them:

-I figured it would make sense for Caramel Cube and Globe to be the obligatory aspects for the session. I can imagine Globe getting really shaken up by the responsibilities of being a Time Player. Caramel Cube being a Space Player mostly came down to the quest being a team effort, and she is the more well adjusted of the 4 PPT2 leaders, so it only makes sense. I imagine these factors combined with the Knight being TREASURE CHEST of all people would cause trouble.

-One would say Chainsaw fits rage more, but while he isn't the most approachable, I wouldn't say he is really defined by anger in the same way Plasma Ball is. Roles are said to be something that players have to work with, so having rage powers on top of also happening to have anger issues and shit to deal with would be Plasma Ball's challenge.

-Assuming Breath is themed around changes, Chainsaw would fit the bill. The formation of Team ] saw many things change for the worst, after all. I can see Chainsaw trying to munchkin his way through the quests and inadvertently break the game, rather than using his role for something more beneficial.

-Mind seems to be about choices of others. Bottle is a mediator, and her story in the merge involves struggling to change the minds of other people and its consequences.

-....Okay, Slipper's was really just a pun. To be fair, some of the roles in canon are puns, especially the ones of the heart players(role playing and breaking the hearts of others).

-Blood is implied to be themed around connections(seeing as it was pretty much tailor made for Karkat), and Treasure Chest's connection to his team is a big part of his story. That and I really really wanted to give him Karkat's role. If you know, you know. (also TC's paladin cape looks like the knight cape and it would be funny if the knight wasn't actually KNIGHT Helmet)

-...I think Journal as a Seer of Doom speaks for itself....

-Some aspects seem to also manifest in the figurative version of their aspect. Light is consistently associated with knowledge, so it only made sense to give it to Post-It Note, who has plenty. He isn't a particularly fortunate person, but the journey for these players aren't that easy anyway soooo uhh it cancels out.

-As for the rest... I don't really have much of a reason for them. For the cast, I just chose the characters who I think would work in a session the most, with half being Team H/? members and the other half being from Team 47.

Might consider the possibility of custom classpects.... I mean... Some of the canon aspects seem to be very much made for certain characters.... I really like the idea of SBURB being customized for each session, so there would be some different mechanics here and there. That said, I am more of an alchemy type of guy.

I don't really have much of this AU thought out. There are a lot of factors you have to consider when making an AU like this, and I am someone who is really into the gamey aspect of the comic. I imagine the parameters for these 12 would be much different, at the very least.

TC Challange :)

Doing @/icouldbeyourprettygirl TC challenge from a year ago because I can't stop thinking about him lol

(Attempt number 2)

1. How did your relationship start? Was it you who did most of the initiating?

We met my junior year of high school. He was my philosophy teacher ^^ and no actually! I'm super shy and quiet, especially around crushes. He was the one that would sit by me and spark conversation all the time.

2. How often do you think about them?

Too often, it's unhealthy

3. What kind of weather matches their vibes?What about yours?

I feel like he gives windy, cloudy, chilly vibes. I give thunderstorm.

4. May the fourth be with you! Do they have a favorite movie franchise? Do you?

I know he's a huge LoTR fanatic, but I don't think it's his favorite. I'd rather not say my fav franchise.

5. Do you have a playlist dedicated to them? What are your favorite songs on it?

I have different ones dedicated to the ways he makes me feel lol. I like "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc

6. What's your go to fantasy/day dream about

them?

He finally invites me over to his apartment, we share some drinks, start drunkenly cuddling on the couch (you know, as friends!). Then the booze makes him more cocky than he already is, and he finally gets the courage to start feeling me up. Then it goes on from there :)

7. If you had the opportunity, would you go on a date with them? (If they're married/taken, imagine their partner is out of the picture) If so, what would you want to do?

Absolutely. I think a dinner date would be nice. Knowing him, he'd pay my bill lol

8. Do you dress up on the days you see them? How so?

I do, I wear whatever cutesy, revealing, skin-tight clothes I have >:D Eyeliner is a must, too!

9. What's your favorite memory with them?

Not my favorite per say, but a good one: After school during tutoring, I broke something of his. I was hysterical and freaking out, too scared to tell him. He found me, asked why I was upset, and I told him. Oh, his face dropped the second I said I was afraid he'd be angry. He looked like a sad puppy. He told me, "When have I ever gotten mad at you? When have I ever been so mad, you needed to be scared of me?" Then he hugged me. It was nice. He didn't downplay my instinct to be scared of a possibly angry man. He just assured me he wasn't one I needed to fear.

10. Have you ever thought about a future with

them?

I fantasize but he's such a man-whore and the relationship would be so taboo. It wouldn't last.

11. Does your tc give you physical affection?

Yes, he hugs me whenever we see each other :)

12. Happy Mother's Day to all who celebrate! Have they ever told you anything about their family? Have you told them about yours?

Yeah he blabbers and vents to me, I blabber and vent back. Basically, neither one of us have a good relationship with our parents.

13. Do any of your classmates have a crush on your tc?

In junior year, yes. Most of my friends thought of him as "the hot teacher." They lost interest though once he become problematic and rumors about us started spreading.

14. What's something you wished they knew about you without you having to tell them?

That I wanna hang out more. That I miss when we'd talk for hours on end. That I LOVEEE when he drunk texts me.

15. If your tc was invited to a wedding and asked you to be their plus one, what would you wear, and what would you want to see them in? (Theme of the wedding is up to you, so you can choose your outfits)

For a cishet wedding, I'd wear a suit. I hate to possibly "upstage" the bride by distracting everyone as "a man in a dress," so I boymod. For a queer wedding, I like how flowy, long-sleeve blouses pair with pencils skirts. Or maybe a sun dress? Idk I'm thinking summer/spring wedding. He'd definitely just wear a suit though, cishet or queer. Not that I'm complaining.

16. Do you have any photos of them? Either those that you've found on their social media or ones you'ive taken yourself?

I have both photos of us together and social media photos of his.

17. Have you ever listened to break up songs/

love songs and thought of them?

Chronically lmao

18. What style/haircut/tattoos/facial hair/etc

do you think would suit them best?

I think what he has going on right now suits him. I do wish one day he'd let me put his hair in a bun. Oooooo he'd also look good in leather daddy bear getup :3c I'd like to see him in a leather harness

19. Which color would you assign the feelings

they give you? (Ex: happy-> yellow or something bright)

Dark, navy blue lmao that man upsets me

20. Which decade would they be best in? How about you? (Based on fashion, technology, art, music, the fun stuff.)

I'd like the 2010s because of air conditioning and gay marriage, but also accessible HRT. I think he'd also like the 2010s because he's a cringe millennial. Peak era to be a cringe millennial tbh

21. Have you ever run into them in public? (Or tried to?) How did it go?

We plan our hang outs!

22.What pushed you to create your blog?

The yearning got too bad.

23. If you could know anything about your tc, what would it be?

DO YOU DO OPEN RELATIONSHIPS? DO YOU KISS DURING SEX??

24. How do you think you'd react if they confessed their feelings to you?

To be honest, I'd kms 😭😭 I am so stressed and have so much going on. I don't think I could handle hearing that right now.

25. Have you ever done/read/watched/listened to something you may not have been interested in because they like it?

Yes, I hate Evangelion so much but every now and then, I grit my teeth and try to make it through a few episodes at a time for him.

26. If your tc was your age, would you date them? Do they have any red flags?

I'm not sure? I don't think I would lol. That man is a walking red flag, and I'm not even talking about his weird closeness to someone 14 years younger than him

27. lf your life was a book series/tv series/movie and you had a fan base, would your fans realistically ship you and your tc? (Got this one from TikTok lol because I love the thought)

NOOOOO LMFAO HE'D BE SUCH A MAJOR VILLAIN 😭😭😭😭 the proshippers would LOVE it though

28. What's something that always makes you

think of them?

The color purple and Marlboro reds

29. Let's chat for a sec! What's something

you've been dying to talk about regarding

your tc?

I hate his fucking partner so much. What the HELL do you mean the SECOND I GRADUATED and it would be LEGAL for us to be together--or at LEAST fuck--he gets with some he/she/we/they/them non binary vegan vegetarian /ref that he can't stop talking about. BITCH KNOW YOUR PLACE I was the og problematically young tboy that gets him weird looks in public NOT YOU!!!

30. Do you flirt with them? If so, how?? 👀

Yes lmfao all your standards. Sitting on his desk (when I was in high school), religiously reapplying my lip gloss in front of him, teasing and bullying him, etc.

31. What's something you're manifesting happening between you two? (If you don't manifest, what's something you hope happens?)

Literally idk. Either I cut him off and we never talk again or like, a one night stand lol. AT LEAST ONCE!! I gotta find out if he kisses during sex

[renabe4life]

Hey pal, for the fic questions how about 4, 35, 37, 43, 68, 74, and 77! However many you wanna answer ^^

Oh boy, a buncha questions >w> Thanks tc!!! Sorry it took so long to respond oopsie... Now let's see...

4 . How do you choose which fics to write?

-I dunno if I'm really the one doing the choosing orz Usually an idea grabs me by the throat and smashes my face to the keyboard until i start typing. Caveat that for the ongoing ones it's been a game of open one, see where I am and if words wanna play. If no, move along to the next one.

35. What’s your favorite fic you’ve posted?

-That's a tough one… Recency bias would have me picking Take Root or Suspire, maybe even Distraction. But, I'm also still very fond of Real- an older fair game fic with zero dialogue.

37. What fic has been the hardest for you to write?

-Take Root, hands down. I knew it was gonna be long, and also be a hard lesson in planning- which i had rarely done before. Plus it has grown into something far more complex than when I first started. Keeping track of everything and balancing the focus has been a real challenge. But I love it so so dearly, and it is teaching me a lot as I go.

43. Is there a trope or idea that you’d really like to write but haven’t yet?

-Hmmm yes? Not so much that I want to write the trope- in fact it's one I previously would not have wanted to write- but I had an idea recently and frantically jotted down notes for later because I do really want to write that story. And that may be all I'll say on it >.>

68. Are there any fics that influenced you to write the way you do?

-I am sure it is very visible with the occasional turn of phrase in my later works, but yeahhhhh. And the Reason Comes (and plenty others but it started with Reason) by @whatacartouchebag. And also a selection of fics by @afoolforatook, for example Breathing Cues. I just love Cart's descriptive prose and Took's very emotional storytelling. Both are also responsible for a few of my own head canons of the lads >w>

74. Do you have a fic you wish got a bit more love?

-I suppose... Etched. I know by now I have a plethora of fics of Qrow and Clover relaxing all warm and cozy together, and a handful of Qrow recalling silly or sappy moments with his former team but. Well. This one has such a specific flavour of teasing dweeb husbands and I still love it a lot.

77. Why do you enjoy writing fanfiction?

-Why? Oh dang. Uhhh... aside from it being fun to write and be a little insane about the characters... It's also a lot of fun to chat with people about it. So, thanks for sending this ask, it means a lot ♡
