#this post is from a discord chat

once this whole mess is over (and like OVER over, no new twists or anything like that) i wanna see everyone come back to the agency and everything’s back to normal.

but it’s not normal if that makes sense.

atsushi might not be dead but he’s still seen all of that and was ready to die if it meant he could be with everyone and just never could relax. whenever he thought things were going to be okay it all just gets ripped away. he cannot let himself relax and finally settle in.

dazai didn’t die in meursault but it was so tough on him anyways, he injured himself so much which is something he HATES, as well as having to plan against fyodor over and over and over and OVER. is he still going to be on edge even if they’ve dealt with him?

like maybe the agency has been put back together but there is NO denying the effect everything from tragic sunday onwards has left a horrible mark on everyone at the agency.

from yosano having to confront her past with mori to ranpo having to go against someone he thought he could trust so well. so much has happened (in so little time) and it’s been awful, literally no one in the agency is the same after this. i really hope asagiri explores that <3

What if we reframed LG's actions as a desperate person doing, albeit to an extreme (and in an unhealthy way), what we have seen him and CXS do for so many others-- an attempt to process grief and regrets while visiting, but not altering, the past.

What if he took it too far, and dived too deep. What if he went in with the surface intention of never breaking his own rules (even the 12 hour one), even if deep down he probably knew it was a bad idea. Too raw, too personal, too addicting. Too soon. And what if he's gone through every picture like a mad man, going earlier and earlier, trying, not to save CXS (he knows he can't, shouldn't), but to extend his time with him as much as he can. 12 hours at a time.

But then, he gets to the last photo. The earliest. The day they met and LG's final chance to be with CXS as himself. And it's... too much. The little restraint LG has had with all the previous photos, back when he knew there were more pictures, more memories, to lose himself into, disappears. The dam breaks, and he lets himself drown. Lets himself go. Decides, even if overstaying his welcome means disappearing into the waves of time, forever drowning and trapped and unable to return to the present, that's okay. Because he doesn't have a present to return to. Not really, not one he can live in.

And so, he stays. Overstays the 12 hours and feels the last remnant he has of his CXS, the gold in his eyes, drain away. But that's okay, because to his slight surprise he doesn't drain away with it, and he now has something so much better than a remnant with him. CXS himself. One who doesn't remember him, remember them, sure. But a CXS that's alive and happy and that LG can finally have for more than 12 hours again.

...

And still, he broke one rule. He overstayed his dive. But he still remembers the other, more important one. Carved into his soul from all the times he and CXS had repeated it, he knows. Past or future, let them be.

And he will. He tries (and fails) to put the inevitable future out of his mind, and focuses on maintaining the past, step by step. And it kills him to do it, but he does. Because how can he not? The past must be preserved. Their future (their damned, heartbreaking future) must be preserved.

But then...

Despite doing everything in his power to keep things the same...

Things change.

LG knows it's his fault. The little missteps here and there have had a cascading effect (at least, he thinks that's the case... it's not like there's another meddling time traveler, is there?) and now everything is spiraling from fate's destined path. He's screwed up so much now. He could, should leave now and pray things return to how they were before, that time repairs itself from all his changes, somehow. But it's not just the small things. Nodes have changed. You can't turn back from that. And... oh, right, he can't go back now anyways. The gold is gone from him now, and he's trapped. And it's a terrifying feeling.... everything is changing from how it should be, and LG can't escape all the glaring reminders of just how badly he messed up, but...

It's actually a relief, deep down. Because the timeline is already unraveled, the future already undone. And now LG finally, finally has permission to do the one thing he could not justify doing in all the 12 hour dives before. LG can finally deliberately make changes. He no longer has to settle for letting himself drown in the unmovable tides of time, only to love and love and lose again, unable to do anything but watch and know. Now, LG can swim. He take take action.

Now, Lu Guang, can try to save Cheng Xiaoshi.

Because time has already changed. Nodes have already changed. There is no future to protect anymore. Just a person. Him.

Hey everyone! Long time no see!

Breaking hiatus with some bad news: my first-ever artist alley was canceled a week before I was set to table there. I've been working towards this event since last year, and my hotel deposit is non-refundable, so I've opened my shop to recoup some costs.

Bigcartel | Etsy

💝Stickers, charms, postcards

💝MLB, TOH, Studio Ghibli, Kirby, misc. video games (Hades, Ace Attorney, SDV), pride, original designs

💝 Many of my fandom items, especially for Miraculous, can't be listed on Etsy for policy reasons. They'll be in my Bigcartel shop until it closes on July 12.

Reblogs and shares are greatly appreciated, thank you!

returning from unplanned semi-unofficial hiatus. sincerest apologies to anyone who was trying to contact me while i was away.

my wrists are doing a lot better, but i'm still erring on the side of caution to avoid any more damage that will take a month+ to recover from. having to take a break made it clear it's unsustainable for me as one person to be consistently online/respond to everyone/offer donation commissions all at the same time.

at the moment the plan is to keep more of an eye on my mentions (mentioning me to rb something is always fine) and pick up spotlighting mohammed and farah haboub's campaign again. i cannot promise being online consistently or directly responding to everything, but i will try to at least share any campaigns that are sent my way and donate what i can.

Pleaaaaaase can we get some Misplaced lore. Just a crumb. Looks at you with my big wet eyes.

Lol ok

soo the lore is that missy was a sickly slugpup that was brought by its mother to an iterator in hopes that the great metal god could save it and said iterater (you'll meet her later 😉) went

"why is this rat on my floor ok i'll fix your sick slugpup" and decided

"why should it stay in this frail pathetic rodent body when it could have a much more powerful lizard body" and transfered the slugpup brain into an adolescent lizard. what kind of lizard? something like a red lizard but less overpowered

so the slugcat mother went "that is not my pup what" and abandoned them. the slugpup tried to return to her colony and was promptly shunned because well its a lizard

aaand thats all i got for now

man just really not vibing with the fandom at large recently

[becca4leafclover]

Ok so context. Hideaway is/was a social hub Minecraft server, kinda like Club Penguin, that existed for about a year in 2023-24. It made major impacts in the MC server scene- and then has had an ongoing onslaught of one internal issue after another and has Shrödinger's Minecraft server (in progress and dead until observed by an outside force) for about a year now.

I am not part of the Hideaway team, but I BASICALLY run the Discord thats been all but abandoned by anyone with staff role that wasnt removed during one of multiple team switches. Ive been answering the "what happened to the server?" Questions for the last 6 months, patiently explaining the history, correcting false information and genuinely just holding nice conversations with people who give the time of day to start one

(Spellbrook is a WIP server from the OG Hideaway team I'm also semi-active in but I'm not active pretty much every say for months doing a mods' job without the role)

I also play Wynncraft, and I also make Minecraft skins! So I saw this, applied, was clicking around doing casual research and...

Jumpscare

I dont like the idea of being percieved suddenly /hj

I already know I've been noticed for the Hideaway mess, the owners of Spellbrook have said so! But I knew one of them from OG Hideaway as well! What do you mean Salted of Wynncraft, co-founder and owner of one of the most popular and oldest servers in the space, all it takes is one look at a Discord to see me and recognize me as that person (and also applied to make Minecraft skins for Fruma!)

I know its doing me some benefits i think its just. AAAAAA PERCIEVED!!

My theory that everyone in MC creator spaces is within 3 circles of proximity to THE MCYTs continues to hold true though and I think thats really funny
