#the rest are long gone

[fruit-salad-ship]

Oh oh does dragon Peach have the standard hoard of gold and gems or does she keep other things?

Peach goes to great lengths to prove dragons are not the way the books describe. She doesnt just randomly eat people, she's not fussed by fighting knights,not driven by rage or the need to destroy, she takes what she needs food wise and hunts in areas where theres a lot of one thing like deer or boar. A creature of balance, not nearly as menacing as people assume. When plum asks about kidnapping princesses, Peach responds that not all dragons do that either, and often its because they adorn these humans with such shiny trinkets dragons are drawn to them. So plum prods a bit. 'so...you do like to hoard gems and gold then?' Peach eyes her for a moment, looks away. 'No. Not all of us do that.' Later, irked that this supposed monster is so well behaved and functional, not at all like the stories, she noticed Peach slip away from the house, and decides maybe it'd shed some light on a more dragon-y habit. She sneaks behind and sees Peach now in her more comfortable full dragon form cautiously exit the swamp, finding a close by fallen tree, old and large, tucking up wings tight, almost crawling and slipping underneath it, entering a hollow beneath. Plum has to follow, has to know what she's doing. For her the entrance is easy enough to manouver, dropping into a cave, clearly dug out over time. The tunnel is small but leads along a dark path, she has a hand on the wall, stumbling her way down to follow a warm light ahead, where theres suddenly quite the change in scenery.

The cave opens out into a glimmering, glistening gold laden den, all surfaces dripping with anything that shines. Sconces and a large ornate light fitting have been lit, dragon fire, it smells different to normal flames, and in the mountain, rolling around in the clinking shiny trinkets, her supposed 'not at all dragon-y' dragon companion. There is great joy in this behaviour, she's genuinly happy to be here, a little secret she thought she could keep. Peach stops moving, the sound of falling metals subsiding, sliding her huge body to the bottom of a pile with ease, suddenly hearing breathing, smelling human. She opens her eyes still upside down and comes face to face with plum, smug look on her face.

'Not all of you huh?' A quiet second ticks by, peach figuring out what to do, as a dragon, she cannot speak, choosing to simply huff.

She'd been caught out.

Y'all know she'd find the finest things for Plum to try on tho. Maybe it's one "princess" she'd be tempted to steal away in all that glittery finery.

Steddie x female!reader thought 18+ only

Eddie blinks his eyes a couple of times to make sure he is actually seeing what he is seeing. He must be living in a nightmare.

You're laying back on one of the pool loungers. One leg dangling over the edge keeping your foot on the warm cement ground, the other spread over Steve's lap as he absently rubs his hand up and down it while he bitches to you about something from work. Your hand rubs up and down Steve's back in comfort. But that isn't the nightmare.

Your bright red bikini bottoms covering enough, but with your legs spread a bit more skin is shown then intended. Spread in such a way that makes Eddie want to just dive in. Get on his knees and worship you, rub his face over your mound as he licks and nips and sucks. Moan as the curly thatch of hair brushes against his face.

Except the curls of hair he is expecting to see peeking around your bikini are gone. Just smooth bare skin. And that isn't the only nightmare. Steve's chest is smooth like when he was in school on the swim team. Not a speck of that beautiful chest hair Eddie would curl into after getting hot and heavy. Not a single curl of the "love rug" he jokingly called it.

Eddie wants to weep. To throw himself down like a little kid and thrash his arms and legs around. Yeah, it's your body and you can do what you want, but he still is sad its gone. Eddie doesn't like change, and suddenly walking in to see both of his partners change something without any warning? Uncomfortable. It makes Eddie feel itchy.

Eddie can barely speak as he walks over and sits next to Steve. He doesn't respond to Steve's warm greeting. Doesn't respond to you asking how the day is. Just stares with big wet eyes at the sight in front of him. A pout on his lips.

A warm hand lands on his shoulder, gently squeezing. Steve's brow furrowed in concern, your wide eyes blinking at him.

"Shaved?" Eddie asks in a quiet voice, eyes darting to Steve's chest and then your clothed pussy. Steve lets out a huff of laughter, "Fuck, thought something was wrong man." Eddie glares," It is."

The server I'm in is hosting a dtiys-esque challenge so here's the return of Supernova Emmet for my submission.

Basically every major structure in Nimbasa was a target when the invasion happened, so Gear Station is just one of the city's many abandoned buildings. As one of the gates into the tunnels, Emmet visits it often during patrols and scavenging missions with other team members. It's not the most comforting place anymore, so he tends not to linger during work. He does sometimes sweep the building if he has an off day.

This was the only fully illustrated piece I made all summer so I hope it came out well 💀I modelled this with 3D primitives just to make sure I wouldn't mess up the background. Also, while I was working on this I remembered another rough sketch I had lying around from last year.

I would've made the ice on my submission piece larger but I still needed it to be recognizable as Gear Station. I do want to draw more of post-takeover Nimbasa though, I have a rough map saved in my files and I think it'd fun to revisit the ice fountains all over the city.

That thingy that happens when you’re walking and then suddenly your eyes do the wobble and the whole vision gets “pixelated” and you stand there dumbfounded for a bit—

*blink* oh it’s gone, okay then *continue walking*

with every passing day, being middle eastern is realizing more and more just how many people do not view you as a person whose right to life and happiness should also be protected.

im so glad to see the support for palestine in these past few weeks like never before, but i hope it isnt the case again of a short period of loud noise from the world then silence just because they get tired. ive seen that all too many times as an iranian american, and its frustrating since we cannot so easily move on from these atrocities the way others can; we are trapped.

i truly hope the world continues to put on more and more pressure until palestine is free. do not grow tired; do not grow silent. everyone should know and remember exactly what palestinians have endured and are continuing to endure for almost a century. everyone should know and remember well what has not been stopped by the inhumans who walk among us. it is the bare minimum.

A Defense of Benny Gecko

Benny is more of a capable leader and person than people give him credit for.

Seeing as no one challenged his position as head Chairmen for 7 years and even then he only loses the position if he’s caught, killed or forced to leave. Yes, it’s also likely House wouldn’t have allowed him to be killed but he sure as hell would of found a way to remove him if he was causing too much unrest within The Tops power structure. Even Swank and Tommy don’t outright dislike him and more so are concerned with his recent secretive and shady behavior, emphasis on recent.

Taking all we know into consideration, Benny likely knew the future direction that he wanted to take Vegas but was so caught up in the plans to acquire Vegas that he didn’t think of how to make his dream a reality. Something he admits to in canon. I see this being used as the main argument that Benny doesn’t know what he’s doing at all but I see it more in the same vein as you can’t really plan something from nothing. The transformation of Vegas is a sensitive thing that he can’t really work on until he has it. The only reason he ran to the Fort prematurely is the Courier who was causing so much of a stir he would’ve likely been found out much faster, making all that planning for nothing if he didn’t take that chance.

Benny is careful (well a lot more careful than he is regularly depicted in fanon), the Courier being able to trace him was dumb luck on their part and his hair being noticed at the Fort is a realistically small oversight that even Caesar is disappointed in because he admits Benny got farther than he should’ve been allowed by his legionaries. The fact he can plan an ambush on the Courier or tries to quickly and concisely clean up lose ends that don’t lead back to him shows he’s not just acting on impulses or in the moment decisions. Or rather he’s quite good at thinking them out, whether they work depends on how you play really. This is all to say it’s 100% believable that Benny could lead an independent Vegas (house was basically setting him up to do that). If he had known explicitly that House was setting him up to replace him, he likely would’ve bought more time by getting in closer, learning more of the system to then flip House’s edge to his favor. Again something he was doing already but likely without the knowledge of House’s feelings on him personally.

No matter what, Vegas’ future was tied to Benny; House’s plans for him, having to get the chip and if he had somehow succeeded. It’s also interesting that of all the people vying for control of the dam/Vegas, Benny’s plans are the only ones actually oriented towards a new future, not a recreation of something long past.

we don't talk nearly enough about javier willingly confessing to never, ever thinking about a life without lloyd, while knowing damn well everyone in the estate would be able to see his confession. he really put his whole heart out on the sky for everyone to read like that.

he wasn't even asking if he could get lloyd back, he didn't know he was alive yet, he just wanted to know what had happened to him after crossing the gate.

he wanted to know if lloyd was happy in his next life even though javier couldn't protect him in this one so badly he was willing to let everyone know that he'd always thought he would spend the rest of his life at lloyd's side. which for someone as reserved and guarded as javier must've felt a little bit like being flayed alive lmao
