It is necessary that you meet Mars Jacobi

Don't worry he is okay that was just the only way I could get a photo of him

Awwwww! Look at the lil kitten!

I agree, absolutely necessary for me to meet lil Mars Jacobi! Cuuuuutie!

Hopefully the kitten is less of a troublemaker than the character XD

ZITS on a chain or something (zoom-ins and alternate version under the cut)

Matching ZITS icons anyone?

I‘ve never drawn Zed before and I’m obsessed with how that turned out.

I want to let you know I'm naming my cats after the names you came up with for the hermits

Sorry, I'm kinda dense sometimes... What names?

Are you meaning, like, the personas I gave them for Ice Walls? Like their aliases and human names and such?

In which case, cool! A lot of them aren't the most creative things in the world but I'm glad they're inspiring! :-D

[watcheraurora]

Look

all i'm saying and all i'm gonna say

is Jimmy wouldn't be so (playfully) offended constantly being compared to Woody from Toy Story

if he'd ever played Kingdom Hearts III and seen that Woody is one of the biggest badasses in the game and the entire Disney extended universe by extension

Look at this! Look at it! It's so! Freaking! Cool! Soup Group! Villains!

so ZITS played Chained Together

[watcheraurora]

Hey, just so you know, I'm still able to read silence broken without an account on ao3. Just wanted to tell you, not sure if you meant to keep it up!

Yeah! I meant to keep it public, yes

Silence Broken is staying public until I finish it. The last chapter is gonna be posted on Thursday, and then the following Monday it will be archive-locked to give guests some time to finish it

[watcheraurora]

Guess what, folks!

New Perfection/Saint one-shot! One of the more (but certainly not the most) highly-requested one-shot ideas from the original comments section. Enjoy!

Two First Flights

I watched Tango's Limited Life POV recently, and I feel like his final death gets done dirty by fans.

It gets played of as this embarrassing "haha he tripped on a tiny ledge and died cause he was on half a heart", but homing in on just that scene ignores the entire context of what led up to this point.

Tango had an amazing run that season. He was the last green, and one of the last yellows. He was the boogeyman two episodes in a row, and pulled both kills off spectacularly.

Then, in a short amount of time, it all flipped on its head. He kept getting killed a bunch of times in a row, most of which through no fault of his own, as LimL was just like that and TNT could rain from above without any warning or spectacle.

He fell from grace, and was brought down to mere minutes left on the clock. He'd pretty much accepted his fate at this point, but was still willing to give one last desperate stand against Scar, who among others, had been one of the primary reasons for his suffering.

At this point, all rational thought was thrown out the window. And honestly, who could blame him? You may argue that he should've thought through this fight better, taking a moment to stop and heal, but then Scar could've gotten away.

And Tango couldn't risk that. He didn't have the time to wait for a "next opportunity". He'd either get the time now, or he'd die trying. And that's exactly how it played out. One clumsy mistake, brought out of a desperation for vengeance, for taking back what was lost. It's the tragedy of a fallen god, someone once great enough to have everyone else after them, now reduced to a nothing but a laughing stock.

TL;DR: Tango deserves more recognition for his Limited Life run, and his final death was more emotional than you might think.

With more and more Ao3 authors restricting their works to the archive (due to AI scraping), they're going to be losing guest interaction. And probably generally feeling down because. You know. AI is stealing their hard work.

So! Now is a great time to stop by your favorite authors/stories and drop them some comments! They really appreciate it!

Scar stream, April 25th, 2025

Scar: "Now, Etho. Did you ever get to watch any of the charity stream on the weekend?" Etho: "So I caught like an hour or two of it live, and then I went back and watched some vods." Scar: "Okay. What did you think, Etho? You always give good feedback." Etho: "I thought it was a good time, yeah." Scar: "Good, good. How would you improve it, Etho?" Etho: "I think my favourite part was when Tango got shocked." (All laugh.) Etho: "That one, I-I felt it. You know, that was, like, from his soul." Tango: "That was rough. That was rough." Etho: "Deep down. Yep. Umm."
