Effloresce snippet

“I do not understand.”   Kali- Kali who was the only Commander in the room who didn’t lean away from the weapon of that voice in true horror- Kali, who’d helped raise Cassian, who’d punched tattoos into his skin with her scarred, steady hands- Kali, the only woman in the room, and only person who could even think of coming near, ducked her head.   “Lady Archeron,” Kali said, warm accent a balm to twisting shame lodged into Cassian’s own throat, “We will fly wherever you wish, but we cannot enter the city and live.”   Pale- she’d ripped off her gloves again, Cassian was probably lucky the sleeves of her dress hadn’t followed- Nesta jabbed at the map again. “No one needs to enter the city. I certainly would prefer not to. But the children and their keepers go here.”   The plan was insane.   The plan was brilliant- Archeron vassals would come by sea, tides bribed true and swift by a blood sacrifice the Archeron ships had been tithing toward since they’d come into the sisters hands. Anyone else, and most especially, the children from the orphanage, would be borne by Illyrians, all the way to another on of Nesta Archeron’s secrets.   It was illegal for humans to cross the Wall.   To speak to faeries. To keep their company.   It was not illegal to conduct business in faerie countries, nor own property. Some enterprising Archeron ancestor had taken advantage of both that and the lowlands rendered empty by centuries of war. A clean shot: from the Steppes in the North to Velaris, shining on the coast.   “On Night Court soil,” Zaphael intoned, the eldest living of the bastard legion, “We are restrained by magic to inhabit only the Steppes.”   That imperious hand, again. “Where?”   Spread across a table Lucien had carried into the vast, echoing ballroom, was the most articulate map of the Night Court Cassian had ever seen. The mountains were not reduced to their usual muddle. Individual peaks marked in a jagged hand Cassian recognized as Azriel’s, old Illyrian names transliterated into human speech rather than use the Night Court appellations.   Zaphael touched each of the seven sisters, reverent, before resting his palm on the gate of the mountains- the rocky, torn apart valley where so many of their blood had died and died and died.   A scent, a sound, Nesta’s furious disbelief was so strong Cassian felt as through it echoed straight into his body, lighting along muscle and bone, demanding satisfaction.   “That is,” Nesta shook her head. “That is less than a fifth of the territory. Where are your farms? Where is the Stormhold?”   Where was the kingdom Illyria?   In dreams, spent. In stories, whispered.   Lost for so long even longing lapsed, so many Camp Lords and so many camps, the yoke of the High Fae authority taken on and traded for every last shred of Illyrian honor.

concept: eddie has heard many a rumor about king steve, but he's actually never really bothered to seek him out. and while he was doing his lunchtime monologues, steve was usually hanging out with tommy and carol in the parking lot. so despite hawkins high being a small school, he's never connected the rumor to the boy.

he HAS however seen steve, he just doesn't know it. and it's basically love at first sight, but eddie is never able to catch up to him and learn his name. so whenever he talks to his friends, he just calls him the guy with the Fat Ass.

and his friends always brush over steve harrington whenever eddie tries to point out the "love of his life." so it becomes a running joke that eddie is in love with some sort of ghost with a Fat Ass.

then one day, steve peeks into the drama room, looking for dustin. and all eddie can do is point and say "you... you fat ... fat ass." and steve is just like "rude."

Snakemas! Based on these guys, Iwakuni snakes (albino Japanese rat snakes):

This AU is (unfortunately) still in early development while I'm busy with school but there's some basic lore bits.

Half-monsters (hanmon) are a third group of organism between humans and pokemon. They are the result of ancient species from both groups combining and evolving over millenia to become specialized species of their own. They have monstrous appearances akin to pokemon, but wield only physical abilities like humans. Due to the nature of how they were formed and how they are viewed, most live in hiding, with only a few thousand individuals being observed and recorded

White Mountain Snakes are native to the Sin-Joh regions, showing up in traditional manuscripts as messengers of regional deities to guide and bring good luck to humans. Ingo and Emmet are children in a family that moved from Sinnoh to Unova. As such they consider themselves part of three cultures, and speak three languages

The twins are one of the only well known examples of hanmon in the present day. Most people are divided on their feelings about half-monsters, so they try very hard to skew the perception in a more positive direction. They act very proper with others and in public, only letting up and relaxing at home

Ingo does end up falling through the rift to Hisui. His main concern is that he fell right as the different clans were fighting over who was right, and having a "divine messenger" appear in Pearl Clan territory has caused a whole new mess for Ingo and the clanspeople

As for the serpents themselves:

The twins are constrictors, lacking fangs and instead having insanely muscular lower halves for wrapping and crushing prey in their grip. Depending on the size of the food they're eating, they might also just crush it with their bare hands to make it more manageable to swallow quickly

They are looooong, something like 10m in length from head to tail. The subway has multiple posters up warning patrons to watch their step in case they trip over them in traffic

They are awfully sensitive to temperature change. They sleep under a giant electric blanket, wear thick uniforms, and set the driving car temperature to be warm. Summer is their best working season, however they tend to stop working in winter to hibernate for about 4 months, much to the dismay of Battle Subway fans, staff, and local grocers

They'll shed about thrice a year and assist each other with peeling it when possible. This is mostly since they aren't dexterous enough to reach parts of their back. Shedding time means it's time for this little competition of theirs where they attempt to pull the longest pieces of shed possible off the other. Ingo is not very good at dealing with Emmet's dry ass and ends up accidentally cracking it most of the time. They sometimes give the scrap shed to Elesa for use in fashion outfits

Ingo's mouth is much narrower than Emmet's, he often has to stretch his jaws to accommodate something Emmet can eat easily. As a result the tissue connecting his jaws in the front is more stretchy

The twins have different organ locations due to their long structure. This usually doesn't affect their job but if you give them a hug you will feel the heart pumping in their abdomen

Thanks to all for reading this far. As a treat have Ingo and Emmet in their separation outfits, Emmet in his uniform and Ingo in the garb gifted by the Pearl Clan.

god i know i said i was tired of making eveerything sad but just imagine timber those first few months of reconnecting and they're both drunk on tim's boat, laying on the deck staring up at the stars and bear turns over to look at tim, his eyes are sad and wet, and he reaches out to touch tim's face as if to make sure tim is really there and not an illusion and tim whispers, "bear?" and bernard smiles a little brokenly and goes, "so how long do i have you for this time?"

My favorite part of my Adventure Time binge is I pick what looks like the most silly episodic episode with a weird title and a plot that seems pretty open and shut and it goes in the most unexpectedly painful and lowkey horrifying direction that leaves me shook. I expected shenanigans and got an existential crisis instead.

B.J. Goes To Maine but there’s some kid he’s never heard of already there finishing his undergrad, and what do you mean he’s been here the whole time I’ve known you, Hawk? When did you have the time to send a Korean teenager to college in the States, Hawk? Hawk, do I even know you?

okay, but where's my steddie AU where steve wants to learn to play guitar to impress a girl he's infatuated with and he remembers that munson kid was always hanging up posters for his weird band at school, so he hikes out to eddie's usual dealing spot behind the track and asks (with far less groveling than he really should have) if eddie will teach him how to play, and obviously eddie says no because why would he want to help king steve, but of course, steve offers to pay him, $20 a week, and well, that's the kind of get-the-hell-out-of-this-shithole-town cash eddie really can't afford to refuse, so fine, he'll teach steve to play and they'll spend inordinate amounts of time together tucked away in eddie's room and they'll start to see that they have more in common than they thought and that they kind of had each other all wrong, and eddie will put his hand over steve's to help him get the placement for a tricky chord and it totally won't awaken anything in either of them?? where is it??

edit: i started writing it

[agentark]

in the span of maybe an hour, clara oswald goes from, "I already know - don't say it." to, "people like you and me should say things to each other" and I'll never get over it

she literally gets pulled out of time the moment before her death and learns he's been clawing his way back to her for 4.5 BILLION years?? Just to save her??? I would also suddenly and urgently have words

[devilat-thedoor]

i hope he has a good day☹️

Just a few of my favourite photos of Mike from the 1984 Victory Tour.

If I took the time to find and post them all we’d be here all night.

Accidently turned my little moment into a small break! Didn't mean to be so quiet on the blog haha. But I've been watching a show while I wait for the WH update and aaaaaugh. I would post doodles but it'd be so unlike my usual WH stuff.

But Moral Orel has taken up so much of my thoughts. I'll be back to my regular shenanigans soon. Just feels nice to doodle some other stuff for a moment.
