Lieutenant of Squad 6 " That lieutenant just shows up in the most unexpected places. "

🦇 Lilia Vanrouge 🦇

Requested by: @the27th Thank you for the request! It is a pleasure!! In the end I got out of control with that drawing... couldn't forgive myself if I didn't use the old adult Lilia Headcanon... because Toshiro... is perfect-

[ Going to make all of these as posts so they have a correlation with the ones already made, but I'm going to tag who sends it! ]

🦇 Curiosities:

Lilia appears suddenly if someone says his name or call him. Wherever whenever.

Squad 6 has a special punishment method that involves Lieutenant Lilia cooking.

He is very appreciated in the squad. Takes care of all his subordinates. That makes them want to take great care of their lieutenant too.

Always carries the latest Shinigami fashion.

He doesn't want to interfere with humans.

Also doesn't believe that Shinigamis should focus or be interested too much on the Human World. According to him, things have a place for a reason. Lilia understands the reason for the Shinigami's interest, but believes that all should be done the old way.

Lilia says that he read the above in a Soul Society document.

That document was never found.

No one ever saw him fight... or get nervous. Lilia's Zampakuto?...

Has great ability to sense the presence of others, Shinigami or not. Also has incredible reflexes.

To the olders Shinigamis he seems strangely familiar... reminds them of someone.

It seems that Lilia's clan is related to Malleus's in some way.

Lilia and General Captain Crowley avoid each other.

First Officers Epel Felmier and Jack Howl say they saw Lilia's older brother fight.

I've seen a few posts on my dash about the idea of Amy's attempt to fix Surge only resulting in Surge somehow making her worse (aka corrupting her), and I feel there could be potential behind that scenario. What about you?

🙏 OKOK so I've seen a couple & i absolutely love the idea I won't even lie

(hc) but i very much think of Amy as stubbornly good and firm in her beliefs (shes based herself all on heroism, esp with the resistance and all 😭). Surge would definitely struggle to change Amy for the worse; especially since i consider Surge to be the weaker one of the two when it comes to morals and alike.

I personally dig the hc scenario where Surge is slowly melting away her anger and hatred (w/ Amy being doting and patient SLOW BURN 100K WORDS 30+ CHAPS until they inevitably hold hands) but this is more wishful thinking, i definitely see the canon panning out with them hating each other (especially after the whole forest fire)

+ the panel from the recent IDW issue where Amy is like we aren't forcing you to be part of the resistance or anything and Surge is like 'huh 🤔' IDK IDK i think Surge cracks first

HOWEVER, Amy letting loose and being a delinquent of sorts after giving up 'fixing' Surge, is something i would love to see for the fun of it.

It might be super ooc but imagine Amy just becomes tired of being a hero and cracks THEN decides the next best thing now is fighting random bots or ppls w/ Surge 😭 and the resistance is just like wtf 😭 LMAO (also imagine a tag team surge / amy vs sonic, it will never happen but it's both funny and interesting to think about)

Regardless, there's a bunch of potential dynamics with this. I'm liking the dynamic Surge brings w/ the resistance (like Whisper and her, it's so good especially if we mix in Tangle) (consider: whispangle jump surge) THERE'S so much potential for fights, connections, verbal arguments... the drama is crazy.

Sorry, this is a bit long. But thank you for the ask, i really hope the canon timeline will give us more of their dynamic 🙏

(TLDR: i do believe corrupt amy has potential, but i personally lean towards redemption surge 🙏)

I can't believe The Silence and the Storm is over a year old! The first anniversary was May 27th (yes I missed my own fic's birthday in my defense I was traveling and forgot how time works).

I'm trying to compose my thoughts because this sure feels like a time a blog post would be fitting. However, my engrams are scrambled because...wow do I have too many feelings.

As some background, I've been a writer for a long time. And I've written 3-5 books (depends on how you count "completing" a book but it's 5 full drafts, 3 of which were heavily edited). I wanted to be a trade published writer (still do) and for a while I was feeling good about my chances! I got lucky and received some wonderful professional mentorship (and met one of my best friends during that program!). I took that guidance to query agents (a necessary step for access to most big/medium US publishers). I knew it would be hard and take time but...4 years later all I have to show are a few requests, hundreds of rejections, and one agent who asked me to rewrite my entire book only to reject me anyway (me, bitter? No not at all nooooo).

I'm a creative person and sharing my work feels like sharing a part of myself. Something that is not easy for me to do. After a while I just assumed I was missing something necessary. My work didn't resonate, but I didn't know how to fix it. I’d never reach anyone in the way I so desperately craved, and it was my fault for not being good enough. I felt broken.

During one of many major depressive episodes my spouse bought me a copy of The Infinite and the Divine. That book has changed my life. I was never much of a fanfic writer before. Either I thought the original work was too good and I didn't think I had anything to add or it was too bad so why would I bother with it when I could just go read/watch something better? 40k inspired me though. The ideas are incredible but underutilized enough that I felt like I had something to add.

So I started writing necron fic because why not? There wasn’t enough for me to read, and I needed more robot stories. Maybe I could rediscover my love of the craft, make some friends, make some robots kiss. Distract my mind from the horrors. So I posted a little OC fic and actually got some nice comments. Hey! Positive reinforcement! Hadn't had that in a while.

Emboldened, I continued in the most normal way possible. Going from a 7 chapter OC story to a giant civil war epic including every named necron character I could find with 6 (then 7...then 9) POVs. It was the type of grand space opera I've always wanted to write but never did because I didn’t think I had the skill and it's harder to sell. Luckily AO3 is free. Ain't no playing to the market there!

Now, a 40k necron civil war space opera is...niche. So I wasn't expecting much. I would have been happy with some kudos, some comments. Fan art felt like a pipe dream, but what are writers if not dreamers? The main goal was to enjoy myself. It was low pressure fun, I love the characters, what could go wrong?

Nothing, but I was wholely unprepared for things to go as right as they did. Y’all have been amazing. So many great comments and ideas exchanged, gorgeous art, fun asks, a lot of screaming (it’s fine probably don’t worry). I’ve never had such a strong outpouring of support for my work. It feels incredible. But also sometimes confusing. I’ve trained myself so well to handle rejection that I kind of forgot how to handle acceptance. Especially for something so personal. This is a weird story about undead space robots, there’s a lot of politics, sometimes the robots have sex. It’s got out there head canons, and 99% of the tyranid parts are pulled out of my ass because nobody knows how the space bugs work okay. My weirdness being embraced on this scale is one of the greatest feelings of my life. But it’s also new, and way out of my comfort zone. I’m being seen and adjusting to that.

Still, writing in this space has been one of the most consistently joyful things in my life for…well, over a year now! It’s changed how I view my art. I actually can create stories that touch people and make them feel things. I can take risks and have them pay off. I know not everyone will love this, but some people really seem to love it. That is mind blowing to me.

It’s making me reassess a lot about how I approach my art. Writing and other. I still plan to pursue publication. I want to get paid for my work, but this is making me consider alternate paths that might fit my style (and psyche) better. I don’t know what the future holds, but if you’d told me a year and a half ago that a big part of it would hinge on an AO3 gay robot skeleton space opera…I would have thought you were nuts, but also hoped you were right because that sounds rad as hell.

So in conclusion, thank you all so much for reading <3

Ok name suggestions because the cat looks cute

Since it's a royal au, the cat's name can be something rich. Because if he managed to end up with a king, he might come from rich, wealthy family because working as an advisor requires good knowledge and brain.

It can be Archie meaning "wisdom", Sage if you want a unisex name meaning "wise one" or just Redmond which literally means "advisor"

Tho it's your au anyway and I'm just suggesting. Anyways! Love your work ♥

ooh yea these sound really cool thank you! might use archie or redmond we shall see

[catfindr]

I think you’re a hopeless romantic, giving that emotional support to those who need you….

I bet you’re cute af irl

You seem to be someone who needs something, but does not get it and the people around you fail to recognise that it’s a need and not just a want…

I’m just assuming after taking a tour of your blog (I hope I’m right)

Hmm ig it's kinda accurate ^^

But who is this from ?😅😔 Did i ask for smth like this ? I can't remember sorry TwT

OMG I'M SO DUMB I LITERALLY REBLOGGED IT TODAY💀💀😭😭 I'M SORRYYY

THANK YOU SMM😭😭💕💕💕✨

[theraggedygirl11]

hey, hi. Remember how I said I wasn't gonna draw because I didn't have time? Anyway, I'm a liar. I drew a sketch (I know the wings look awful but I was too lazy to draw them)

I don't think I'll draw it in full detail cuz then I'll get angry things won't look how I want and I won't be able to do it justice, but I wanted to at least leave you with this hehe

OMG 😱

I got my first fanart based on a fic I wrote giwmzirnriwnfiendja *explodes*

Thank you, thank you, it's amazing, even if it's just a sketch, and the wings being not so detailed are still good, because most of the time they aren't visible 🥺

If you are ok, I'd like to add it to my masterlist so I don't lose it in my blog and it can become a canon fanart

Beta Announcement + Short Break

Hello everyone! After some weeks of activity, the beta tester applications are officially closed for this round! I have gotten in contact with everyone who was accepted (check your discord friend requests if you haven’t already!), and to everyone who applied, shared, or interacted, accepted or not, I thank you so much for helping participate with this round! I am always overwhelmed with the talent and enthusiasm from the applications, and as always if you didn’t get in this round, I encourage trying again the next time beta applications come around!

As a smaller announcement, due to some separate personal matters and plans, for the rest of March I’ll be putting the blog on hiatus. No worries though! Going to still be working on the story in between things and I’ll still read messages and asks, but all ask responses will be pushed until the end of this month or the beginning of next month. Thanks for your patience, as always! ❤️

Heeeeeey

In Dutchs bass story he doesn't say "and the fishmonger calls out" he says "fishmonger calls out"

Damn I gotta need my ears check.

Thanks for pointing out tho.

[a-rabid-snake]

I know I may not be a major person in your life, like your parents, but I'm proud of you. If it counts for anything.

Thanks anyway

Although my relationship with the community has always been better than with my family. It's better than nothing anyway

I don't really need words. Rather, attention

Normal, healthy attention. Thanks again
