Chapter 1: Beneath the Ice
Narrated by no one.
Narrator: Lake Bovaly remained frozen. The dim sunlight shone on the ice, obscuring the colors sloshing underneath.
Alan: Mr. Mercury.
Narrator: Alan saluted the silver-haired man stepping out of the carriage. Mercury was holding a dark-blue moon gem in his hand.
Narrator: It glowed with a bright but cold light, as if resonating with the icy lake in front of him.
Narrator: There were tons of secrets hidden in this lake, but right now they were all being sealed away because of the absence of the Original Crystal.
Narrator: The back of Mercury's hand still ached from being carved with the emblem that symbolized his sworn alliance with the Water Elves.
Narrator: Mercury ignored the pain and clenched the gem in his hand.
Narrator: A faint golden light oozed from his palm and spread upward to cover the dark-blue gem.
Narrator: An oppressive force spread out of Mercury and soaked the transparent crystal, turning it from light golden to dark blue. The gem slowly awoke.
Narrator: The cold light of the moon gemstone quietly cast a moon shadow on the frozen lake.
Narrator: Since the Ninir Queen's coronation, Mercury had been exploring the power of the Abyss.
Narrator: The descent of the Goddess of Desire only served to open a dark window. More unimaginable secrets lay hidden in the unfathomable depths of the Ocean of Memories.
Narrator: Since he made a contract with the Water Elves banished to Evernight Sea, the Water Elf leader had been providing Mercury with books and data on Pigeon.
Narrator: According to an excerpt translated by Alan, last month the expedition dug up several ancient slates where Pigeon intersects with the wasteland.
Narrator: The slates recorded the legend of the Water Elf Arionus, with "deep sea" and "abyss" being the key words.
Narrator: Arionus used to have an altar in the Pigeon Forest. Now They lay dormant in Lake Bovaly.
Narrator: Not long ago, Mercury got from the Water Elf leader the key to the altar: a moon gem once embedded in Arionus' staff.
Narrator: The radiance of the moon gem poured onto the lake, swaying and rolling as it converged to a point.
Narrator: A gaping hole slowly opened up on the layer of ice, like the eye of a black hole. Frigid, raging winds came pouring through it.
Narrator: As if rejecting visitors with ulterior motives, the damp, chilling gust breezes through the forest, sending tangible ripples in all directions.
Narrator: The group waiting at the lakeside, horses and all, were sent tumbling amidst screams and neighs.
Alan: ...What's going on? Mr. M-Mercury?
Narrator: Mercury was completely unfazed. The furious wind barely even lifted the hem of his shirt.
Narrator: The soft, azure gleam on his hand seemed to provide him protection and safe access into the passage that had just opened up.
Narrator: Face impassive, Mercury gazed into the opening. It led into a misty path, winding away towards impenetrable depths.
Narrator: Chaotic, eerie whispers came floating out, ardent suppressed, mostly indistinguishable words from a certain ancient language.
Awaken: Water... revenge... Elves...
Narrator: The whispers formed a thin, light blue thread, which entwined itself around Mercury's arm, extending towards the mark on the back of his hand.
Mercury: Did you hear anything?
Narrator: Alan frowned at the question and focused hard before shaking his head.
Mercury: Wait here for further instructions, everyone.
Narrator: Following the guidance of the blue thread, Mercury soon disappeared into the boundless darkness.

It's kinda fascinating the range on Simon
The most selfless Simon is Farm World Simon who literally saved the world from the Lich, allowing humans to survive as a majority but at the cost of his life and any chance of reuniting with Betty
The most selfish Simon (so far) is clearly Winter King but mostly because he succeeds.
Ice King is equally as selfish but he fails enough to mature and grow, becoming less selfish.
Regular Simon is not selfless enough to sacrifice his chances or risk his chances at meeting Betty but not so selfish that he can't see the plight of others in pursuit of his happiness.
She 👏 has 👏 the 👏 range 👏
#simon petrikov#adventure time#fionna and cake#im a little fixated on farmworld simon and the world he created#bc wheres betty#what did she do?#did she die in the ice age brought by the crown#did she find simon crushed beneath the weight of a bomb#did she mourn at his final resting place#did she take care of marcy while she lived

Song of Frosted Light ❄️🕊️
#oc#original character#oc illustration#digital art#blue hair#singing#dancing#winter theme#Another npc from my ttrpg campaign!#Her name is Amelie Felicienne Honorius#Incoming OC lore drop#fancy soft noblewoman who is very sheltered and polite but also aloof in a way where she prefers to keep to herself#she has a voice that can crystalize the air into ice and it responds to her singing#she performs for the noble court and is amazing at it especially with the ice magic she brings with her performances#she didn't have good control over her voice magic at first and her father is also overprotective so she doesn't have much life experience#she does her best to understand others even though she still is figuring out herself#many people see her as the superstar singer of a prestigious holy knight family so she works hard to keep that image up#hoping she would eventually become that image completely#she's actually quite rebellious too beneath that elegance in public and shyness at gatherings#so she knows trying to become this image will be very difficult#not that it's best for her but that's all she knows thanks to her protective dad#she is unfortunately very trusting of her dad even though he's got a lot of issues and would not approve of rebellious behavior#Amelie is good and one of my many daughters I love her

not waving but drowning - stevie smith / night time, my time - sky ferreira / jeremy strong knows kendall roy has always been drowning.
#Kendall roy#laura palmer#succession#twin peaks#‘and you wouldn’t feel anything for a long time’ associated with numbness and coldness and how that relates to s2 kendall (+s4) and laura#towards the end of fwwm . there’s a line in the fwwm script in the scene where laura is with james before she runs into the woods where the#direction is ‘she’s gone ice cold’ or something like that. yeah.#considering that as foreshadowing of her being thrown into the water + Kendall’s whole drowning thing#and in itself the whole ‘knowing it was just a matter of time before his head dips beneath the surface’ is fwwm in a nutshell#p

Envy or Equality? { Closed RP }
For @sorcerymuses || Miraculous! Verse
Another day, another akuma taken care of for the city of Paris. Hawkmoth was still at large and very dangerous, but luckily the heroes Chat Noir and Ladybug were becoming more and more prepared for each fight.
Scorpina viewed from on top of the building as the trail of ladybugs flew over the city of Paris, healing all the damage done. She smiled watching the duo did their signature victory sign and tending to the victim. Once they were cleared, Alya of the Ladyblog and Mirelle of the Chat's Meow (the newest blog for Chat Noir) came over for a word in to be put into their respective blogs.
Chat gave his word more quicker and finished to see Scorpina waving at him from above.
❝ Paw-rdon me, ladies, but this Chat needs to hit the road. Meow ya later! ❞
With a two finger salute, Chat extended his staff to the roof and poll vaulted over... not too far away. Hidden on the top of the roofs where they wouldn't be seen by ordinary eyes. Scorpina parked her staff as she moved to meet Chat, speaking only wonderful praises.
❝ How was that today? I tried
out that new move you showed me. ❞
❝ You did beautifully.
I'm so proud of you of how you've
come so far. You're turning out to be
the best cat wielder in history. ❞
She in turn gave Chat... a kiss on the forehead before he beamed at her.

For Mineta: Who had the softest chest out of all the girls you met? :3
@demon-blood-youths
"Who has the softest chest?" Mineta thinks a little but looks left and right to be sure he's alone before looking at the anon. "It's hard to say honestly. All the girls had soft pretty boobies." he giggled but thinks.
"Most of them were really cute, and so so soooooo soft. Like Ashley butterfly. Her chest is so soft and snuggly. They were the right size to nuzzle my face in them. Sara has the cutest look on her face when you squeeze her cute butt. Even seeing strong girls like Maggie and Kali being cute! Some of the girls have normal or slightly plump boobies but still nice to enjoy." he giggled doing grabby hands.
"Though, I also love some of the fraction leader female boobies...even Van ink's. Hers is so so soooooo soft and it's like snuggling into a warm pillow." he drools flushing pink with a nose bleed.
"*Sighs* I was in heaven when I got the chance. I bet it's better when I get to squeeze and enjoy. Her bras and panties were soft too." He said to the anon but as he did, the anon tenses to see Mineta confused.
"What?"
"I'm sorry. But what the fuck did you say about Ink?" said a angry voice to scare Mineta. He slowly turns seeing six angry young men who were the six claws.
".......Uhhhh.."
"The hell you do to Ink you fucking asshole!?" Rin said aiming the tip of his blade towards him.
"What did I tell you about being a fucking perv Mineta!?" Bakugo cracked his knuckles.
"You know..that's pushing it. We can't let that slide." Ren said pushing his glasses up but he was angry.
"How dare you be a pervert around Ink!" Atsushi said growling.
"I say we beat the living shit out of him! No one touches our Ink!" Denji said.
"Right! That's low for you Mineta!" Midoriya said.
"uhhhhhh..I......." Before long, he begins running away screaming.
"GET BACK HERE!!"
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!"

SHREK STARTERS
@gareththegreat asked:
i guess you don't, uh... entertain much, do you?
“No.” He says with a sigh, flopping unceremoniously back on the couch. “My dad’s usually at work a lot, so I don’t really see the point in being here.” It was quiet. Too quiet, as the cliche went. … That, and he didn’t really have a lot of friends. Or any friends. But Gareth was cool.
“Good news is, we have the place to ourselves until he gets home. Which shouldn’t be…” He glances over to the clock mounted on the wall. “For a few hours. We’re fine.” Not like he thought his father would be upset by this. … Or maybe he would be. It was hard to tell. On the one hand, Warren thought that his dad was pretty great. His real dad. Things had gotten so much better since they’d been… Reunited? Guess that was the word. And he knew his dad wanted the best for him. But they didn’t really bring people home. Ever. Mostly because ‘trust’ was a five-letter word and not much else. But again: Gareth was cool.
It’d be fine.
“Okay.” He pushes himself back up again. “We’ve got drinks, snacks… There’s an atari in my room.” A fall-back for when the arcade was, for any reason, inaccessible. It was definitely well-loved.
“What do you wanna do?”

Everytime I read/reread Owl song/look at any of your incredible art for it, all I think about is this song, especially the chorus, in regards to the dreaded last chapter 😭 https://youtu.be/d122G9rLfhw?si=QcnOeIsWq6zxDpGC
Here is a male cover version too:
https://youtu.be/-oAIP7wwkME?si=m1XZr5-1Fd8YvYwE
Your welcome 😅😭💖💖💖🦉🦉🦉
Thank you for the feels 🥺🥺🥺
Now I’m back to imagining what Dick would do if he came back from his mission in space only to find out Jason is dead.
And how, when the Joker is dead and pieces of him are spread all over Gotham, Dick would lay down on/in front of Jason’s grave and refuse to move no matter what
#I haven’t planned out everything concerning Dick’s reaction yet#but one constant is the ‘Joker keeps being found for years all over Gotham’#and I stand by that#but everything else is still waiting in the wings#maybe dick will go to sleep by Jason’s grave#or he’ll force Bruce to put him on ice by killing people#or he’ll go back to the caves beneath Gotham#or many other things#so many possibilities#hehehe#let’s see what it will end up being#owl song#ghost talks
