This just occurred to me.

For the Ballput au...

Will the nightmare animatronics be roaming the house at night or is it going to be Evan's imagination? I can see Gregory opening the door to get a glass of water only to see a ruined animatronic in the hallway.

That is a fucking terrifying thought and im so happy you mentioned it.

The thing I kind of wanna do with ball pit au is play around with the thought that terrors come to life. So ough i can just imagine a sleepover setting where Mike and Gregory start hearing and seeing shit and its slowly driving Mike insane because the fear factor has spiked to 100 and he’s too afraid to check what the scratching outside the door is—

And Greg does it for him, immediately being met with an amalgamation of yellow, red and razor sharp rust.

So much screaming that particular time.

Hello hello everybody! It is time for another months progress, and I am so excited to share with you, all the things I have gotten my grimy little gremlin hands on. First off, what we are all here for; writing. I have been on fire, to be honest! Last month I churned through the last of the first batch of erotica stories (there's 6 (!!!) of them on my patreon already) and set them up for publishing along with two more unseen ones- I'm still going over the logistics of where to publish for the best revenue (I know this sounds boring, but I have to make an income somehow, and hopefully find another audience as a smut writer on other platforms 💀 I love writing it so why not!), and I am making headway, learning the ins and outs of self publishing. On patreon, there are also two Q&A's that are written in a bit more fictional manner, in character: a more fun way than just writing answers straight up and down. I have enjoyed those so much! There's a bunch of other stuff I haven't even mentioned- honestly, I have to say, I'm really proud of my output on Patreon even though I have been really anxious about writing full time. It's going great! I have to thank my new friends and support-network on discord; you make this all worth it. I cannot express how fun it is to shoot the shit with you in vc, gaming together, or seeing your shenanigans in gen or your in depth theories (thanks for the brainworms!) or memes or staring longingly at the fanfic channel or drooling over your art (ouro related or not) or... Gah. You are just amazing people, and I will waste no opportunity in saying so. Thank you forever and ever and ever an-

When it comes to OUROBOROS, I am happy to announce that the next chapter is damn near done! I was halted because of the discovery that dashingdon is no longer supported by it's creator, and have been working on the twine version ever since, earlier than I expected- it's tough work, but I am so excited to make this an actual game made entirely by myself, and not submitting to a company that quite frankly leaves a bitter aftertaste. It is taking long to make because I want to make it mobile compatible from the start, which there isn't a lot of resources for. But I'm doing my best! The plan is that I will be posting the next chapter for Patreons in the coming month, and then treat you to a full twine release here on tumblr. I haven't made any rewrites when porting the twine build, but I would like to do that too... so we will see; this plan is not set in stone. I will just have to see how it evolves over the next month. Yes, beta-readers is still on the schedule, just holding off a little while while I wrap my head around this new coding landscape.

Other than that, I have been working on the set aesthetic for ouro, which has been really hard, a lot harder than I expected. You all know I am no wizard when it comes to graphic design, but I want to at least develop a set palette and imagery and portraits that is cohesive to the story. The work is ongoing, and I don't have much to say about it- even though it is taking a lot of my brain power. I'm hoping I can come to some kind of set and in depth conclusion that I am happy with before the twine release, because I want the game to feel like a treat to open up and play; a world to get lost in.

That's it! If you want to see weekly and more in depth dev-logs, you know where to go. I hope you have an amazing day or night, and we will see each other soon. xx

Kingsley needs time in the spotlight. We don't know anything about how he's doing during the solstice. Is he having visions? Nightmares? I wish he was talked about and included more.

aHH yes I feel the same definitely!! ; ; Every incarnation of the Circus Man is very dear to me, and I would love to see more Kingsley. We just got him for so little time, and he's so fascinating and such a love letter to how far the Nein were willing to go to save Mollymauk's soul ; ; It does make me sad that he's the only one of the Mighty Nein we didn't get to see yet, but I am hopeful that maybe we'll finally get to spend some time with him soon!

Also, the fact that the novel ends with defining Kingsley as Molly and Lucien both shaking hands, deciding to both come back together and try again...it's just so very sweet and cathartic to me, a transformation and rebirth, a miracle that amazed even one of the gods. A life born out of love.

And there's just so many fascinating directions his story can go! And so many interesting threads that potentially connect him to Rudius to me?? I mean, I still can't get over the fact that Molly was "born" in the Savalirwood, ground zero for Ludinus' first "communion" with Predathos; this cursed, corrupted forrest where restless spirits still roam. Not only that, in the comic he very much appears to be?? Born on a Ruidus flare?? If that's really the case, then...that's definitely something??

In another life, Tealeaf was warned never to trust other fortune tellers who use an "Oracle of the Red Moon"--a deck that mirrors and mocks the Moonweaver's, cards meant to manipulate and mislead, bring nothing but misfortune and misery to others. I can't help but feel like there's something very interesting there, that Molly was maybe the only one of all the Nein to be raised with superstitions about the red moon...Wonder if it would still make some part of Kingsley a bit unnerved to go there, even just subconsciously...

And even if Molly wasn't really Ruidusborn, we know that he/Lucien were fate touched. Thinking about how...it took a fate touched champion of the gods to power Ludinus' weapon. How it must feel to be a fate touched soul when everything Ludinus is doing is to sever the threads of fate and all connection to the divine. Would a part of him feel those bonds breaking, on some level?

And with all kinds of ancient arcane prisons breaking all over the world, I really can't stop thinking about how Kingsley spent years waking from nightmares about a primal scream and black chains. If Tharizdun has grown more powerful since the start of the solstice, do those dreams get worse? Does Kingsley have nights where he wakes still screaming? Or perhaps he has other dreams? Tealeaf, who was saved by the Moonweaver in every life--dreamed of her in every life--does he see her again one night, asking him for help?

Kingsley Tealeaf is born of both the Nein's love and a Divine Intervention of the gods. He's someone who's soul was found and cradled by the Moonweaver in every lifetime. Does a part of him feel indebted to the gods for that? Or perhaps it's just that he still loves the Moonweaver, sees her as something of an old friend? Would protect her the same as the Nein, because that's what you do for family?

There's just so many interesting directions you could go for Kingsley's reaction to the solstice, I think whatever Taliesin--and perhaps Robbie--decide to do would be just fascinating :') Also, I think it will be very fun if we get to see Robbie play King for the Nein episodes and I'm all for it, especially with how excited Tal was about it. But I do still miss seeing Taliesin as Mr. Tealeaf and hope he still plays him again someday too ; ;

For a made-up fic title: Blue Bottle at the Bottom of the Ocean

I've been thinking about thus one in the back of my mind for a couple of days and all i've come up with is some sort of sea0water-themed adventure? Okay so maybe the boys (I'm talkin end s1-mid s2 maybe) go to the beach for the first time, Leo portals them there whatever-

OH or better yet it's a continuation of the portal-jacked episode in which Leo accidentally portals them to a beach somewhere (and also himself) and they get stranded. So now they have to survive on a beach until Leo can figure out how to portal them back - so maybe early s1 instead. yeah yeah that could work. EVEN BETTER - LEO GETTING STUCK BY HIMSELF

and yknow what his sword gets portal-jacked again >:)

I'm talking an angst-comedy fic in which it is extremely silly funny and then it becomes sad :)

Anyway blurb time:

" Alright, Leo. portal us back to the lair for real this time" Raph huffed, still clearly mad they didn't get sent back to Tahiti as they'd originally planned.

Leo swallowed, nervous now that he'd messed up twice in one day. Twice! Once, he could see, but twice was a record.

Nah, he could do it. Sure, he was kid of the worst at using his weapon, but he'd managed to portal them worse places! Home would be a piece of cake.

" Alright, stand back! One portal home comin' up!" He raised the odachi and swung down, a portal rippling to life in front of him. He had a good feeling about this one - he could almost smell the sewer on the other side.

" You go first, if you're so sure" Donnie prompted, watching with a smug grin, " if it's the lair, come back and we'll follow you"

Leo huffed at that. Fine, Donnie wanted to play it that way, then Leo would just let the portal close behind him and they could WALK home.

" Alright, fine" He gave a mock salute and stepped through, letting the portal close behind him with as grin. That would show them, HA!

But this didn't smell like the sewers. Leo opened his eyes, paling at the sight of a wide-open beach rather than their dark home. So. This wasn't the sewers.

Koyama gnawing on his lip piercing wheneve he is deep in thought. The sound pisses Sakurai off big time but at least he always knows when there is something up with his partner

MAN I love little character quirks like that! It’s a fun way of showing a subtle intimacy in the way another character learns to pick up on it too. All that time spent getting on each other’s nerves still ends up making them learn to read the other like a book.

for the fake fic ask game: 🐝

all the days of our delights are poison in my veins (from bitter water by the oh hellos)

(3rd Life SMP, Scar/Grian)

This game is going to end. The desert sand is sludge beneath their feet, a color Grian's eyes refuse to linger on, but still Scar's giggles fill the yawning night— he talks about winning like he doesn’t understand what that means, smiles at Grian big and stupid like he's never had anything to lose.

Grian wishes Scar wouldn't look at him like that. He wishes Scar would hate him, hurt him, give him a reason to ruin this. It would make the next part easier.

I absolutely adore this and the fact that it reminded you of my work is just such a delight. Thank you!

[blindmagdalena]

if words could be eaten, if fics could be devoured i would eat yours. they are *that* good.

this is perhaps one of the most delicious compliments i've ever gotten on my writing. i'm obsessed with this. thank you so much. 🖤

[todayisafridaynight]

snap...whats a hobby you think daigo would have..*looks up from google docs* dont ask why...

i think bro LOVES to watch his fireplace

[meep--tm]

I would say you excel in line weight, your recent klapollo and karlach are good examples of that. You also use so many colours at once in a really cool way that always makes sense, is never confusing and helps with the vibe of the piece 👍🏻

;;__;; dude THANK YOU. i really try to pay attention to line weight so i'm glad it pays off... i've been trying a lot harder with colours too!! that's always been something i've struggled with so i'm rlly proud of my improvement there :]]
