#after 14 stories
Text
the sun shines after every storm (like clockwork, hope, and maybe fate too)
#akia art#olba#baxter ward#exposing my cheeseball narrative tastes 🤣#i don't usually feel strongly abt fate in stories#but there's smth abt a character rediscovering whimsy after life had worked it out of them#balms the heartache!!#ik i've bbgirl-ed him too liberally but i think he did it himself that scene#anyway i like to think his 14 yo mental image of maggie resembled the teletubbies sun baby#if he ever told her she'd laugh until she cried

snippet sunday 🎄
another lil snip from deck the halls, not your family (which i have been affectionately calling eddie vs margaret buckley in my head, lmao)
Eddie rolls over and kisses Buck’s mouth. “Wanna fool around?” he asks, nosing along Buck’s whiskered cheek and chuckling when he’s tickled.
Buck sighs, feigning a put-upon attitude, and wraps his arms around Eddie. “What a romantic,” he muses, pulling Eddie half on top of his chest. “You know just how to make your man swoon.”
“Shut up,” Eddie says, flicking Buck’s cheek, but he shoves his hand down Buck’s pants, anyway, and grips his soft cock. It’s warm in his hand, velvet-like and damp at the tip; Buck hisses and fists Eddie’s t-shirt, bringing him in for a mean, dirty kiss.
Eddie groans, drops his mouth open for Buck to lick inside as he fondles Buck’s dick, stripping the length and pinching at the sticky head, and he’s lifting up to spread himself across Buck’s big body, attempting to shove down both his and Buck’s pants and underwear with one hand because the other’s in Buck’s hair, when three sharp knocks break through the fuzzy air.
“Dad? Buck?”
Eddie rips away from Buck, moving off and over and away. “No goddamn way this is happening again,” he curses beneath his breath, elbowing Buck in the kidney when he starts to laugh, and then, louder, “Yeah, baby?”
Christopher stays quiet for a moment before tentatively asking, “Are you guys still awake?”
“Yeah,” Buck answers, leaning up and adjusting his pants. He reaches over and flicks on his bedside lamp, illuminating the room in soft white light. “Come in.”

Me reading today’s Blades chapter:
#choices bolas#choices blades#blades of light and shadow#choices stories you play#playchoices#how disappointing#as always I have thoughts#but I don’t think I have the energy to complain anymore#I should really just stop expecting/hoping for things to be better#it’ll be chapter 14 next week after all#the book is damn near over#there’s no way they’re fixing anything atp#guess I just need to accept it for what it is#never thought I would feel resignation towards one of my favorite series…#it’s really sad actually#choices#choices app#pixelberry studios#pixelberry

I was watching lilo and stitch and that “you can never belong” scene came on and I got this idea in my head for that, but with ROTTMNT. So since I don’t do edits or draw, I wrote it out instead. Don’t think too hard about the logistics. :)
It is cold, when Leo slips out of the lair. He can feel Mikey’s gaze on him as he leaves, raising goosebumps over his flesh. He can’t bear to turn back, knowing that his resolve would crumble immediately if he did. His footsteps are too loud in the loneliness of the sewers. His heartbeat pounds in his head. He keeps expecting to hear a voice calling out for him, or the soft sound of footsteps following him.
But of course it never comes. Mikey had been so hurt. So sad. Of course he wouldn’t follow him.
When Leo finds a portal into the Hidden City, he doesn’t hesitate to throw himself through it despite the danger it puts him in to be there. The sounds and the sights are familiar to him, yet nowhere calls to him as loudly as the lair had. It’s only been two weeks since he was first brought into their home. They hadn’t even wanted him there, and yet the urge to go crawling back is so strong. He had messed everything up from the moment he’d manipulated his way into their lives. Of course they wouldn’t want him.
(Why don’t they want him?)
Leo wanders the back alleys and the side streets, letting his feet guide him to nowhere in particular. The picture he had swiped on his way out of the lair is stored safely in the pouch tied around his waist, and between steps he’ll reach in to slide his fingertips over the stiff paper. Just to make sure it’s still there. It soothes him.
He doesn’t stop walking until he’s far outside the city, tucked away in the scraggly rock forests that surround the Hidden City. The aching in his chest has turned into more of a twisting knife, the small knot of sadness becoming more like a gaping chasm. An open wound. A bottomless pit of longing and loneliness that he had never felt before he forced his way into the lives of the Hamatos.
He hadn’t had anything to lose, before. He hadn’t known the kind of pain that loving something would bring. He wishes he could go back to not knowing. He wishes he could return to a life of never having to make the choice to walk away, to spare them all the pain his existence brings them.
Leo settles on the ground, curling into himself, shoulders trembling under the weight of everything. When he closes his eyes, the image of Mikey’s face as Leo made his choice haunts him. Donnie’s quiet voice rings in his ears in the silence of the forest, you ruined everything, again and again. Raph’s soft squeeze on his shoulder lingers like a phantom. Leo trembles, tucking his knees to his chest. Then, he pulls the photo out.
Raph, Donnie, and Mikey grin up at him. It’s almost mocking, how happy they look here. A reminder that they are better without him around. He hadn’t seen them smile like that since the first five minutes they’d found him, back before they learned the truth of how much of their lives he can ruin.
He runs a careful finger over those smiles, then he squeezes his eyes shut and holds the photo against his chest. His throat burns, and the ache in his chest feels like a black hole that will swallow his body whole. He does his best to breathe through the pain and when he opens his eyes again, the light speckled ceiling overhead is blurry and indistinct. It reminds him of the stars they had taken him to see, wind tickling his skin as they sat on the rooftop of the tallest building of their strange human city and stared upwards at something beautiful.
“Lost,” he whispers to the open air, and he can almost imagine that single word floating upwards, towards the city and the sewers. Finding its way into the only place he’s ever found that might have one day held happiness. But only for him. Not for them. There was only danger if he stayed.
“I’m lost,” he repeats, words like some trouble confession, and hot tears roll down his cheeks.
Some small, selfish part of him hopes they’ll hear. He wants them to come for him, and to bring him back home. It is a stupid, foolish wish. It’s better for everyone that he stays gone. He can’t hurt them this way.
He falls asleep with tears drying on his cheeks, and body curled tight around the only evidence he holds of a dream he knows can never be.
When he wakes hours later, it’s to the sound of heavy footsteps over gravel. He jolts upright, heart pounding, eyes wide, and for one foolish, terrible moment he really believes that his family has come for him.
But no. Of course not. When Draxum emerges with a weapon pointed at his head, Leo can’t find it within himself to feel surprised. He stares back blankly, shifting slowly to stand, halfway wishing that Draxum would just take the shot and get it over with. He doesn’t think he has the energy to raise a hand to defend himself.
The gravel has left his legs peppered with indents and marks from where they’d pressed into his flesh as he slept. They sound like something breaking as they shift and crunch beneath his feet. Draxum’s eyes dart between those markings and Leo’s tear streaked face, before his expression twists into something complicated. Almost pitying.
“Don’t run,” he says, voice low. If Leo hadn’t heard what true kindness sounds like these last couple weeks, he would have said that’s what he hears in Draxum’s tone. “Don’t make me hurt you. You were difficult to make. No need to ruin a perfectly acceptable specimen.”
Leo shuffles, eyes darting between Draxum and the stacked stones surrounding them. He makes a sound low in his throat, hurt and uncertain, but he does not bolt. Draxum smiles, already assured of his victory, and steps closer. Leo watches with wide eyes.
“Yes. Yes, that’s it,” Draxum murmurs, careful and soft, like he’s trying to soothe a scared animal. “Come quietly.”
“I…I’m waiting,” Leo admits, and he watches Draxum’s brow crease. His head tips, curious. He’s not used to this side of his creation — quiet, yet resisting his orders. Leo shuffles a half step back, heart pounding so hard in his chest that he feels a little dizzy.
“For what?”
“For…for my family.”
“Aahhh. There is no use in doing so. You don’t have one. I made you.”
Leo shakes his head, hands trembling, photo creased from how tightly he is clutching it in his fist. The thought of ruining the only evidence he has hurts, but the fear of Draxum getting his hands on it, of him finding out about the others, it terrifies him in a way he’s never felt before. He can’t let Draxum know about them.
“Maybe…maybe I could—“
“I don’t know what yokai fool you found, or what nonsense they’ve been filling your mind with, but banish the thought of family from your mind.” His voice has lost that careful, gentle farce. It is harsh and cutting now. A familiar sound that Leo had hoped he’d left behind forever when he ran away. “You are built to destroy. You can never belong. Now, come quietly and we can begin your reeducation once—no! No no, don’t run, don’t—!”
His voice fades as Leo darts through the towering stones, vines curling at his heels and snapping at his shell as Draxum tries to recapture him. The picture flutters from his fingertips as he trips, lost amongst the shadows of the stone forest. Leo sobs, but he does not turn back for it. It is better if it is lost; at least then, he may be able to move on.
#Rottmnt#my writing#sort of a separated au?#There’s no real bigger story here#But basically the thought as I was writing it was#Draxum has leo and believes the other 3 experiments died in the fire#After 14 years leo decides to run away#He’s destructive and aggressive and also desperately lonely#Stitch style#And when his brothers find their presumed dead sibling mikey welcomes him with open arms#Raph is hesitant but affectionate and open to bonding#Donnie wants nothing to do with him but might possibly warm up to him over time#Of course any bonding he might do with his brothers is all ruined bc leo keeps messing things up#Hurting people#Ruining belongings#Etc etc etc#but he is beginning to love his family so so much despite how he can’t stop himself from hurting them#And when he hears that draxum is looking for him he makes the decision to leave#Mikey lets him go thinking that leo is making the decision on his own#Not realizing he doesn’t want to go#Anyways yeah#this idea put me in a chokehold and i wrote it in like 30 minutes at 1am#So i’m not thinking too hard about the logistics#rise of tmnt#rottmnt leo

any emy headcanons for how her relationship with her mums is going to be like when she’s a teenager? For example with which topics she wanted to talk about she would either go to less or leah.
she's pretty close with both her parents. leah and alessia take quite a relaxed approach. they don't like it but they are realistic, they remember being teenager so they tell her that if she's drunk, call them, they'll pick her up and look after her no questions asked. they want her to be safe over anything else. emy prefers to call alessia though, she just feels like there is less disappointment from her and more sympathy
leah believes in natural consquences for her drunkeness, she doesn't tell her off, just makes sure that the twins make the most noise possible early the next morning to make sure the hangover hits as hard as possible. ultimately, they know she needs a safe place to learn her limits.
leah and alessia are both very proud that emy always wants to bring her friends over and her friends love it there and are really open with her
when emy is discovering her sexuality, she prefers to talk to georgia and kyra though. it just feels less awkward than her parents but she knows they will always accept her and love her no matter what. her mums make sure they tell her that all the time
#lucas asks#is forever enough?#leah williamson#alessia russo#emilia russo-williamson#the hangover story is based on my mum's attitude for helping my brother learn his limits#she started handing us alcohol when we were 14 and had a very relaxed attitude but we had to handle the consequences#we just had a safe space to do it in#i chose not to drink#did it once hated it and my brother (after an a&e trip) is now very aware of his limits

30: Dawn
he'd stayed up all night for this. seeing the sun - the proper sun - crest the horizon again... it had all been worth it.
#miqomarch#miqomarch 2024#ffxiv miqo'te#final fantasy 14#seeker of the sun#shb spoilers in tags... beware#essentially he. was brought in like. a while after alphinaud but before alisaie#and spent a whole year on the first on his own - no selene no sagra#and since selene is his conduit: with none of his healing magic either.#so without any magic or any knowledge of the local plants#it was like he had been stripped of literally all purpose#which as you can imagine for a man who mostly views himself through the lens of 'how can i help others'#was not great for his mental health!#mostly he just became some sort of lydha lran cryptid of sorts#wandering the fog in old tattered voeburt clothes#waving a rusty old sword around to keep people out of the pixies' home#(since his soul is still owned by selene they couldn't really do anything to him)#which eventually ended with him having some sort of Thing with urianger#BUT. once sagra made it back with selene#and once they talked a lot of stuff out - its a long story -#there was definitely something like. oh. fuck. oh fuck yes this is the reason im here. this was worth it.#to see the relief on everyone's face on the crystarium#we're going thru shb again HEHE i have a lot of thoughts about himmm. my little GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#miqomarch fans how excited are we to almost be done btw???

You know I feel like the placement of Beast Yeast and Odyssey is kind of confusing for newer players, especially if they don’t really interact with the fandom and know when the stories are supposed to take place
Odyssey’s not as bad, but you unlock it after finishing Episode 12, when it only happens after Episode 14, after the Dark Cacao storyline. It’s probably not the worst thing, but if you decide to start it after Episode 12, I feel like it could be confusing as to why Dark Cacao’s there at the least, since you haven’t met him or you’ve only barely seen him if you’ve started Episode 13
But as for Beast Yeast, you unlock it after finishing Episode 8, despite it taking place after both Odyssey and probably more importantly, Episode 18. Heck, you unlock it right before the Pure Vanilla story. So I mean starting off, you might not even understand why Pure Vanilla’s there. As I recall, you don’t really know what happened to Pure Vanilla by that point and that he’s still around, we were still led to believe he’s dead, right? And then you don’t really have the full context as to why they’re in Beast Yeast, since we only get the reason at the end of Episode 18, or who the Crème Republic is that gave them the airship, and if the other Ancients are referenced later on, what the heck they’re doing there. I mean okay, it might not be incomprehensible, players can probably understand that these are story events they just haven’t seen yet, but why place unlocking it so far behind the rest of the story? Because those new players don’t have context for over half the story by this point
Yeah it’s not as confusing for us already having played the game and being there when the story updates come out, but what about newer players who don’t have that context and maybe don’t interact with the fandom that much to know what’s going on?
#this is just something I think about#the order of the story is confusing#because you have to play World Exploration 1 to 14#but not Odyssey yet bc it’s after 14 and definitely not Beast Yeast despite probably unlocking it a while ago#then you have to play the Special Episode Cookie Odyssey all the way to Chapter 3#then go back and play the other four Episodes#but sometime in between 14 and 18 you have to also play the Red Dragon Special Episode#since Pitaya shows up at the end of 18#then finally you have to go back and start Beast Yeast after finishing 18#like if you want to experience the story as it canonically happens it’s confusing#not the worst thing ever but still confusing#anyways#cookie run#cookie run kingdom#world exploration#random stuff

hmm i definitely agree that mike wouldn’t necessarily be a horrible irredeemable character if he was never queer and had feelings for will and regardless of his sexuality i’ll never really hate him...but a lot of his actions would end up being senseless writing choices if he was straight. like do i think its realistic to portray a kid making mistakes in his interpersonal relationships and how he deals with growing up? yes. but do i still think him simply undergoing puberty (even if he was straight) is enough to explain why he looked confused when his gf kissed him and said she loved him back, or why he never hugged will in the airport and looked pissed when he saw his boy best friend holding a painting he seemingly made for a girl, or why he needed someone else’s feelings to be able to say ily to his gf? huge no. idk i just wish people stopped talking about him like he’s a real person and not a fictional character with writers behind his every move and motivation in the show 🤷♀️
#like yes people should look at his character more realistically#by keeping in mind that he’s a 14 year old teen and shouldn't be crucified for his flaws#but like. guys lets be real. the writers actively made specific writing choices for his character#cause they serve a purpose in the narrative and not just for realism’s sake 😭 this is a fictional story after all#byler

The moment in Stardust when Tristan walks into the witch’s lair and Yvaine who thought he didn’t care about her at all lights up while still chained to the sacrificial table of death
#stardust#at the very end of the day the thing that gets me the most about stardust is that she literally glows when she’s happy and you can see it#it’s so me-coded#can’t hide when you like someone can’t#hide when you’re sad#and the light comes and goes as you move about your day#also ??? like?????!!? the story just lets Yvaine love Tristan first and in some ways most#it’s not unrequited it’s not unreturned and so it’s satisfying#but he sets out on his stupid little quest and it’s not just about him realizing that it’s Her not Victoria#it’s also Yvaine learning human love up close after loving it so much from afar#she tells him first!!!! she chooses first!!!!!!!!!!#her generous beautiful noble heart#(I really love her)#anyway my least favorite thing about stardust is the occasional moments of 7th grade boy humor (the princess bride would never)#but still#Tristan coming in to save her. the two of them protecting each other from the smashing mirrors. Yvaine putting her arms around him and jusT#GLOWING#and that being the highest emotional payoff and the thing that saves everybody#like. 14 year old me saw this movie and was CHANGED#because her happiness and love is something so bright it can destroy evil#and that’s what her shining IS#idk it’s just such a perfect fairy tale quality#no Star can shine with a broken heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#also when Tristan tells Victoria he found the star and quietly says yes when she asks if it’s beautiful#and then opens the handkerchief and realizes she can’t cross the wall#and then SPRINTS#to stop her#now I’m just listing random stardust moments#while we’re at it Michelle Pfeiffer is absolutely terrifying and incredible as the witch

Also for anyone who likes raising sims PLAY VOLCANO PRINCESS. I got it for less than £8 since it's on sale and it's got so much content.
*spoiler under cut*
and its got furries 😏
#volcano princess#raising sim#ive only married some rando and benson so far#only 'critiques' i have is its get real easy if you use any of the boosts they give you#+ many of the romance options are much older than the girl (like pretty sure some are like in their 20s when shes like 14#but you cant get married until after the timeskip and for most of them they could be the same age as the girl if you ignore canon since not#much would change#i complained here but i basically played my first life with no breaks it was very fun#also ive only got like 50% of the actual story so..#gonna max out all the stats and then try to do everything basically#k im done rambling just play the game :)
