[What we do- Chapter 15: Dance]

By: @winxwannabe

Little fanart for a really good fic I've probably read about 20+ times cause it's just that good and it's become a comfort for when stressed so I read it every now and then. This chapter was everything and thanks for feeding my current hyperfixation with this 😌

Might mess around and do more scenes like that, they're fun.

as the librarian 📚🦇

descriptions below

[IDs: A series of sims 4 screenshots of Dom Raymond as a vampire librarian. He is a black sim with short hair, glowing red eyes, and blue claws. He wears red and gold beaded glasses, blue jewelry, and eccentric black and red vampiric fashion. In the title image he sits at a desk reading. Text in the corner says "Welcome to the library." The following images show various poses of him in a small library. Text cards interspersed read "If you need help just ask the librarian. And if you don't return your books, beware!" with the final pose showing Dom baring his fangs. /End IDs]

CW: Imprisonment. c:

Rhode turns to adress the Reef mers behind her.

"Call us when you're ready."

Then with a powerful stroke of her tail, she's off to join the rest of her pod still hovering over Tide. Probably in case he tries to break free, which Merry doubts. He looks like a sad, deflated blow fish.

"Merry."

They focus on Elder Beck as he continues,

"We're all very disappointed that you didn't come to us in the first place. We'll talk more at home, but you can relax now. We will take it from here."

Then the group of Elders swim towards Tide. Before Merry can protest, Elder Jewel turns to them,

"Since you've dealt with him the most, why don't you join us?" Elder Jewel offers, recieving an angry glare from Elder Beck, but he doesn't speak up as the other Elders chirp in agreement. Merry quickly nods and follows them, hoping for a chance to explain.

They stop at a respectable distance in front of Tide, who's turned towards them to glare tiredly.

"Now that you're not going anywhere, we can finally have a talk," Elder Beck announces, his old fins flaring out confidently.

"I'm Elder Beck and these are my fellow Elders," he then proceeds to introduce the others. "Them you already know," he continues with an offhanded motion to Merry. The hurt look he gives them stings, but Elder Beck leaves no room for Merry to speak.

"Do you have a name, or shall we continue to call you by your infamous title "Ocean Menace?"

Tide lifts his upper lip in discontent, "Sounds like you've already decided to anyways."

Another Elder intervenes, "We would much prefer your name. Please."

He knits his eyebrows in confusion, "It's Tide... Didn't you already know that?"

"How could we?" The Elder questions.

"Oh? So little fishbait didn't tell you everything," he muses as he gives Merry a pointed look.

"You misunderstand. Merry never informed us of your ... meetings."

Elder Beck pipes in with a scoff, "It was only through another source that we learned of our community being held hostage!"

At this information, Tide perks up slightly. Merry feels hope growing, things could still be mended! Meanwhile Elder Jewel takes the opportunity to further clarify before the younger Elder starts an angry rant,

”We kept our plans from them in turn. Our Seastar is many things, but an actor they’re not. Their heart is too kind to willingly lead someone into a trap.”

Tide turns to Merry with a small smile of relief.

"So you didn't..."

"Didn't know anything," Merry confirms with a sniffle, returning the smile.

Prompt 273

You know what? We need more Good parents Fentons. 

And you know what else? Technically, Jack helped Danny defeat Pariah via the use of the Ecto-Skeleton. And like, that’s his son, his baby boy. Sure Danny is and has always been a mommy’s boy, but it doesn’t change that fact. They’re both already feeling horrible about the fact they could have hurt him, they could have hurt their son- they have hurt their son, killed him with their inaction and never again. 

So when these oversized jello-eyeballs try to insist that their baby, their precious baby boy, take a crown? Become a king when he’s not even out of highschool, when he doesn’t want it? No. Hell no! That is his Danny-o, his baby boy who was terrified of his own parents! 

Which is how Jack, despite technically still being alive even if so-very ecto-contaminated, became the Ghost King. 

And for some reason there’s several ghosts rather happy about this- oh, these are his Danny-O’s ghost-parents? Not-ghost parents seeing as some of them have never been anything but a realm denizen? That’s really fascinating- y’know what, want some fudge and we can exchange childcare- Maddie dear come over and meet our co-parents apparently!  

Now it’s not all easy, but they’re trying their best, and that’s all that can be asked. 

…

Which is perhaps why it’s so exasperating- or as Maddie would put it, downright infuriating- that it is now, almost an entire year and a half later that the Heroes finally arrive to investigate. Well, at least he has plenty of fudge since it’s almost time for the council meeting.

we are about an hour into rare disease day in my timezone! (it's always the last day of february, whether that's the 28th or the 29th.) the true prevalence of mast cell disorders is unknown, as they are often misdiagnosed or ignored. and mast cell activation syndrome, the most prevalent kind of mast cell disorder, only had diagnostic criteria laid out for the first time in 2010. so whether or not it's truly rare is really up in the air!

(personally I suspect it is just aggressively underdiagnosed but I'm not a research scientist or diagnostician right now. and even if it is rare, it's gonna be a lot less so than it was 5 years ago as certain respiratory infections are known to trigger it into visibility. that's what happened to me when I got mono at the end of 2015, further compounded when I got covid in 2022.)

all chronically ill people face a lot of hurdles when it comes to seeking diagnosis, accommodation, and treatment (all of which can be severely complicated by any intersecting marginalities), but rare diseases present a special challenge.

for example, I have an immune disorder. my immune system does not like being alive, my mast cells are way too jumpy and throw a tantrum over every little thing. you'd think an immunologist would be the one to treat me, right?

I've had 6 immunology referrals rejected in the past 9 months alone. multiple major immunology clinics in my major city tied to a major research university outright refuse to see patients with "mcas" written anywhere in their chart.

after 8 years of being debilitatingly ill, and suspecting it was immune mediated for 6, and getting it confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt by the bone marrow biopsy last month, I will have my second ever appointment with an immunologist. another 2 1/2 months from now. the first immunologist lied to me about the reliability of the one available blood test, when I first came up with the hypothesis by myself 6 years ago, and forced me to abandon my (correct!!! now proven!!!) hypothesis for 3 entire years while we wandered around lost and got nowhere other than even more thorough process of elimination.

okay, well if my immune system is attacking me, maybe it's technically autoimmune? that's the rheumatologists instead of the immunologists, what do they have to say? dick all my dude, I don't have rheumatoid arthritis so they just shrug at me and go "idk, fibro? I don't know why you're here" and send me home with nothing. (I literally had a rheumatologist say to me, verbatim, "I don't know why you're here." buddy it's your job to read the chart and decide if I get seen or not, you tell me. at least he had a snazzy outfit.)

being chronically ill can be a terrible struggle no matter what, but a disease that is perceived as rare, accurate or not, adds a whole new layer of bullshit. (and of course there are much much rarer diseases out there, with even more hoops and dead ends and struggles and all-new layers of bullshit that even I don't have to deal with!)

anyway I'm having a shit time and using this awareness day as an excuse to productively bitch about it 👍

OH ARTHUR BENNETT.. such a gorgeous and intriguing character. terribly burdened by a GRUESOME set of crimes, his light suffocated by a HEAVY century of GUILT. so tragic, so dark and broody, and yet PAINFULLY awkward in any social setting ever

Ask meme - 6 and 9 for the dragon men (zhongli and neuvillette) please!

This took so long I am so sorry, but here we go!

[Character Analysis Ask Meme]

What is Neuvillette's biggest insecurity?

Neuvillette’s biggest insecurity is not something he's ever tried to hide. Anyone that has spent enough time with the Iudex has probably heard him mention it before. Simply put, Neuvillette doesn't understand the emotions of humans very well. He never has and sometimes he doubts if he ever will? How many times has this flaw of his costed him dearly in the past? How many mistakes has he made? And how many are there yet to come? How he dreads the thought.

What can’t you trust [Neuvillette] with?

To chase after you - Iudex Neuvillette is many things—polite, kind, intelligent—but he is not a man without faults. Only a few know him well enough to realize he holds many regrets upon his shoulders, majority that were never his burden alone to bear. Should you ever become the source of one of these regrets, you can surely expect to know. With somber eyes and a weight upon his shoulders, he will apologize to you. But don’t expect anymore than that. Not understanding human emotions is not only his weakness, but a prison. He will not attempt to make things up to you nor will he try to make things how they used to be. You’re best off where he can hurt you no more, even if that means he will be left alone to the rain.

What is Zhongli's biggest insecurity?

Who knows lol.

What can’t you trust Zhongli with?

With mora - As knowledgeable and talented Zhongli is with many things, it is a surprise to many to hear that businessmen don’t exactly enjoy making deals with him. How can they when contract discussions always leave them with the [shorter end of the stick]? How many [unforeseen business expenses] do they end up incurring in such a short amount of time? In the end, they always lose more than they gained. What they don’t know is this unfortunate occurrence happens with any Mora dealings with the man. But what can you expect for someone that, by contract, has the Traveler liable for all expenses during his outings with them? It's simply best to leave all matters of mora out of any relationships with him.

With your heart - If there's one thing true about Zhongli, it's that, while he may withhold the truth, he does not lie. So when he speaks of a person warmly, they can very well believe his words to be true. That being said, it is important that one does not mistaken his warmth with depth. One cannot simply entrust their heart to him and expect his in return. How could anyone hope to understand the weight of many a millennia, after all? So while the desire may be cute, it'll never be something he would even consider to reciprocate.
