trick or treat!!
You get...Loki has two moms! (Upcoming full chapter flashback from the Morning altverse.)
She quirked a dark eyebrow at him.  “We are not Aesir, Prince Loki.”
“No, of course,” Loki said. “My apologies, my lady.  Is it the pleasure of my company you seek?”
“Drink your wine,” Farbauti said. “I can wait.  And Frigga is coming, is she not?”
Loki inclined his head slightly and took another sip of the icewine.  While the liquor was hot, it seemed to turn chilly on his tongue, and it burned going down.  He had drank about half the cup when a wave of dizziness hit him.  He put the horn cup down hastily, not wanting to drop it, and braced his hands against the table to catch his breath as he squeezed his eyes shut.
Poison, he thought, and opened his eyes, not sure what he meant to do about it.  For a moment he stared at his hands in horror, then he pushed away from the table and stumbled upright, his breath coming in shallow pants as he raised his gaze to Farbauti.
“Ah,” she said, unsurprised. “I thought so, but I wasn’t certain until now.”
“What have you done?” Loki whispered. “What have you given me?”
Farbauti tapped one dark nail against the cup in front of her and said, “The bees that make the honey in this dwell on the banks of the river Ífingr, the water of which will always show truth among the Jotnar.  It won’t last,” she added, almost kind.
Loki closed his hands into fists.  He hadn’t fully transformed, but he thought his skin had a faint bluish tint to it and the raised markings characteristic to frost giants were clearly visible across the backs of his palms.  Presumably they were on his face, too.
“What do you want?” he said, his voice shaking. “From me – from Asgard?”
“From you, Prince Loki?  Nothing,” Farbauti said. “From Asgard, now –”  She looked up as the door behind Loki opened.
Loki froze, his fists clenching and unclenching uselessly.  He didn’t dare turn around; it might be his bodyguard come to make sure that he hadn’t been poisoned – ha – or it might be –
“He is not yours!” Frigga said, furious.

It has been mentioned before, and with good reason: the reunion was a scene I was especially looking forward to draw. 🥺❤️‍🩹
As you can see, a small segment is still missing! I'm keeping it for the next post. 🎆
(A follow-up to this scene taking place in my body swap AU)

Currently visiting family down south. Y'know somebody new has come in because somebody starts screaming. I'm thinking about Hobie at his s/o's family's house and his Spidey sense goes off before each scream. He just starts covering your ears or saying something offhand like, "Auntie Mary's about to walk in." Nobody else in the house understands how he's doing it. Your cousins started betting on how many he'd get right.

Some character designs I created for my uni course last year as part of a “trope smashing” brief! I really enjoyed how these guys turned out - I see them as a private investigative pair in a fantasy victorian-esque setting, with perhaps some sci-fi elements. And yes, they’re husbands.

“All I’m saying, is that if you put me, Cecil, Azrael, and all of our extended family--including Jasmin and James--in the same room together? At least one of us will wind up dead and I can’t promise it won’t be me.”

Trick or treat! 🎃
You get...the alternate version of a scene from Better in the Morning! Marked in my files as coming from Chapter 4.
Now
“Well, this is all…awful,” Loki said to no one in particular.  Rather than attempt to join in the argument Odin and Frigga were having he sat down against the wall instead, pulling his knees up in front of him.  It wasn’t that he had nothing to contribute; it was just that at this point all he wanted to do was find somewhere quiet and scream for a while, but since that wasn’t an option he was going to have to settle for getting out of the way.  Maybe it would make his parents think he was a child; at the moment, he didn’t care.
Predictably, Thor immediately came over to sit down next to him.
“Go away,” Loki told him.
Thor shook his head. “There’s not exactly anywhere to go.”
“There’s the other end of the hallway.”
“Don’t be like that.”
Loki rubbed at his forehead. “I’ve had a very long day, Thor,” he said. “And any moment now the TVA’s goons will probably turn up again and we’ll both have to get up and fight for our lives, so I would just like to take a moment to sit here and pretend that our parents – or rather, our mother, from your past and my future, and your father from a different timeline entirely – aren’t arguing about whatever they’ve moved onto arguing about now, and that our genocidal big sister whom our father kept secret from us our entire lives isn’t here either.”  He thought about what he had said, then corrected himself, “Your father.”
“Not either of our fathers, apparently,” Thor said after a moment’s thought.  He frowned.  “That grammar doesn’t sound right.”
“Ugh.”  Loki let his head fall back against the wall.  It felt oddly warm, but he didn’t have the energy to investigate why; it was also entirely possible he was still mildly concussed from the Hulk, even though concussions didn’t typically last this long for Asgardians. “I hate this.”
“Me too.”
Thor was quiet for long enough that Loki shut his eyes again and was halfway to drifting off to sleep – he wasn’t making any attempt to listen to what Odin and Frigga were saying to each other, and the familiar sound of their voices was hypnotic – when Thor said abruptly, “I need to ask you something.”
“I really don’t think you need to,” Loki said, cracking open one eye.
“It’s about Thanos.”

Aaron being super tall is not the weirdest concept I have. I’ve got so many aus that’re purely because I like them rather than any sort of canon basis, like sk!Dante or Zenix Stays in PD
zenix stays in PD..?
say more right now! >:0

tintin is incredible at timing
(possibly) the final snippet I'll post from my story The Gypsum Maw, the previous part which follows directly before is here - I've been seeing comments asking about where to read the full thing, I'm afraid what I post is basically it - I have more pages in my sketchbook but I suspect they are only legible to me!
this post is already long so more notes and credits under the cut!
I asked for some help for coming up with friends for Chang! The gentle giant Masek was created by InkyTrink on Twitter and the super excitable Libby was created by dreamyopal, a discord mutual:
Tumblr media
They came up with some great character notes and were super helpful providing feedback on my designs!
Writing this felt pretty odd in ways. I graduated in 2020 during the Plague Year so my class didnt get a public art showcase. I attended one last year and it was a bittersweet experience.
Reunions feel a bit like time travel, you see people after a few years and things change quite a lot. I wanted to explore this in my post canon series, Chang has grown up, found himself and has been able to live a fairly normal life with family and friends. Tintin in a way reflects that young adult insecurity about being stagnant, like you haven't been able to fully reach adulthood properly. His fame and status as a Young Boy Reporter is holding him captive, he longs for connection but is held back by expectations from both himself and the outside world.
I've also been inspired by the concept of 'queer time,' the concept that the lives of queer people progress differently to the lives of non queer people. It takes time to come to terms with yourself and to come out. Queer people are often excluded from milestones like marriage or having children. Tintin being confronted with his peers at a university highlights his insecurity about being left behind, but he's slowly making the journey to self acceptance by talking to others, and recognising common ground he has with others.
Chang's university isn't a one to one reference to a specific institution but in Belgium there was a secular movement in reaction to the dominance of the Catholic church, in which universities played a key role. There's references to art movements that were deemed "degenerate" by the Nazis here, such as Fauvism and Surrealism.

you don't understand supernatural is 6 different shows that have nothing to do with the showrunner eras. s1-3 is a cult classic tv show nobody watched when it was on air that is now revered as an american gothic-western family drama that ended too soon. s4-5 is a critically acclaimed american gods inspired limited series that won two emmys. s6-8 is a weird spin-off of the vampire diaries that's considered a camp masterpiece by a niche group of weirdos online for its simultaneously gay AND homophobic subtext. s9 is a terrible cw show that's ripping off so many things at once and no one watched it. s10-11 is the passion project of a famous screenwriter and it's later revealed that the concept started as s4-5 fanfiction, but it's still pretty good so everybody lets it slide. s12-14 is the reboot of the s6-8 vampire diaries spin-off because the weirdos campaigned for a reunion but it didn't live up to hype, but the gay subtext stuff was pretty good anyways. s15? there wasn't a s15 sorry you must be thinking of a different show.

I like the general fandom trend to just take the plot of Hyrule Warriors as a loose guideline at best and just use the whole concept as a good excuse to get blorbos to interact across timelines, BUT I'm very disappointed that everyone is missing the comedic potential of a very specific squad of characters:
Young Link (aka Mask), who walks out of the nightmare of Majora's Mask and immediately gets portal kidnapped into a temporal war, takes one look at the whole mess and decides that you could not fucking pay him to admit to being the resident expert on Time Shenanigans. He introduces himself with the title of Hero of Termina, and definitely doesn't have any other ones, that would be crazy. Hero of Time? Never heard of him.
Tetra, who is a kickass pirate captain with zero patience for people trying to shove her into the Designated Princess role, and realizes immediately that Oh Fuck, this Hyrule has a lot of Ideas about how the Hero and the Princess are supposed to properly play their parts, the second they realize she's technically a Zelda they're gonna shove her in a goddamn dress and damsel her again, that's not happening. So she's definitely just a really cool pirate captain, nothing else going on here at all, definitely not the heir of the Hylian royal family in her time, that'd be crazy.
Ravio, who is literally just a palette swapped Link, meaning that the second his hood comes off, things are gonna get Awkward. There's no way in hell he's dealing with all that Hero baggage, that's Link work, so that giant bunny hood/mask is practically superglued to his head, and he's not taking it off for love or money.
Spirit Tracks Zelda, who is just in the Phantom Armour the whole time, and passing herself off as just a friendly ghost posessing a suit of armour to help the Hero of Spirits. Of course she isn't Princess Zelda, that's ridiculous, if she were a Zelda then people would start getting really weird about her technically being dead, and boy does that ever sound like a whole Thing she doesn't want to deal with, so she can't possibly be Zelda, she's just a nice ghost knight. Also, her teenage grandma is here, and that's kinda weird, so it's easier to just not admit to being royalty and avoid that awkward conversation.
Finally there's Sheik, who is not the Princess Zelda of the era straight up abandoning her war torn country for months at a time so she can risk her life in extreme cosplay for no clear reason, but is instead the actual Sheik from Ocarina of Time, who just beat Ganondorf like a month ago and is still trying to process what the fuck to do now. Also, he's been pretending to be a boy since he was ten, and is realizing there's a pretty good chance that he isn't pretending anymore, so that's a whole other can of worms. But for the last seven years of his life, being Princess Zelda meant certain death, so he's not really inclined to introduce himself like when in a new and stressful situation (not to mention he might actually just not be a girl named Zelda anymore), so he automatically introduces himself as just Sheik the spooky ninja man, and fuck he's in too deep to back out now, looks like he's committing to the bit. If you think you sense the Triforce of Wisdom on him, no you don't.
Cue shenanigans as the five of them attempt to hide that they're all actually kind of A Big Deal. The group motto is "Nobody says shit", which is usually delivered as a frantic hiss whenever someone slips up. Just the reunion between Sheik and Mask alone would be absolutely buckwild given how they parted, and how they're both frantically pretending to Not be involved with each other. For added hilarity and/or drama, Sheik gives his semi-bullshit cover story of having just been a friend of the Hero of Time, then runs into said Hero of Time and they both have to desperately pretend not to know each other, because if anyone picks up on the mountain of baggage between them then Mask is busted, and he won't hesitate to drag Sheik down with him out of sheer spite. Not to mention the weird balance of Sheik being used to this Link being a teenager that's actually a small child, and now has to adjust to Link who is a small child that's actually a teenager.
Also, i really feel like we're all missing out on the comedy potential of Ganondorf recognizing Young Link on sight and the two of them immediately launching into a grudge match with some extremely personal and specific insults on both sides. Meanwhile literally everybody else is just standing there watching, trying to process the fact that out of every single person that's been pulled out of time, Ganondorf only has personal beef with a literal nine year old.
I just feel like we're all really sleeping on the potential for Shenanigans here. The whole thing is an absurd mess, why not have some fun with it?
