at this point my dnd characters are just like little action figures i put in situations. at this point i have so many aus and so many iterations of them that they're just multipurpose ocs. and by extension my friends dnd characters have become like oc in laws fo me. sometimes i play around with them a bit in aus bc i like to think that asja, iselrora, and leucif would be friends in every universe. and also bc i like them :]

I had the funniest thought today at work.

I work in a kitchen, and I was frying eggs on the flat top to make into breakfast sandwiches.

Then one of the eggs (expertly cracked with ONE HAND by me) broke and ran into the one next to it.

And I immediately thought, "Well those are scrambled eggs now."

Dp Stucky threesome mental images intensify.

So what comes out of my dumbass mouth? With a wide eyed look, as if something dawned on me, I say with a slack jaw.

"I could have had HELP scrambling my eggs."

**proceeds to scold self for having horny thoughts at work**

Thanks for that, brain.

Family trip to the Shroud!

Pura talks to the twins, Raza's sisters, in the background while Raza attempts to teach Meteion about the flowers.

Meteion on the other hand, decided it was time to splash. Right into Raza's face.

Teehee~!

WIP Wednesday? WIP Wednesday!

Anyway I wrote this like five minutes ago and broke my own heart.

Tagging a few people in case they have something they want to share (and totally not becasue I want to read your awesome stuff) of course non pressure tagging and join in if you want to! @mxkelsifer @galfrey @milesmentis @mxanigel

“I gave up on the world a long time before I met you, Rissa”, Andy rasped. “And I thought Copley’s revelation about our deeds helped, it did, momentarily and then we got to save you, but in the quiet moments in between there was still this emptiness. When I have a moment to think, I can feel the abyss staring back at me. And if I could, I would throw myself into it.”

My heart beat in my throat. Andy’s words mimicked so many fights I've had with myself over the years. They mimicked the moment with James where I couldn’t fight back like I wanted to. Where the gaping maws of the past pressed down around me and threatened to tear me in half. 

And Andy had come to rescue me. She had killed James. She had taken that decision from me and I would always be in her debt for that. Because I wasn’t sure if I had wanted to find out how deep Charles, Markos and all the others had broken me. If I was actually unable to raise a finger against people like him. 

“And then I found you and the abyss was suddenly a bit further away”, Andy’s eyes still were fixed on mine. “And when you look at the world in wonder, it moves away even further. You bring the colour back into a life that has been black and white for far too long.”

Andy’s hand came up to settle on the side of my neck, “and that’s why I care about you.”

I was entirely flabbergasted. I didn’t even know what to say. How could somebody like me, a creature of darkness. Someone who only hurt and killed, who had only ever fought for herself. How could someone like me, bring the colour and light back into her life? How could darkness be hope?

Scared of love

friend of walnut

yes im heartbroken that my oc ace isnt real bc i want more content of him that i dont have to make but also im so glad that he isnt real bc nobody understands him like i do. nobody would understand how his grief shaped him. nobody would truly understand his weird reluctant but also undying devotion to the soul goddess like i do. nobody would understand that he missed rowan more as an idea than as who he actually was like i do. nobody would understand that he fears nothing more than death by fire like i do. nobody understands his refusal to die because whenever he looks up to someone they die & his refusal to do that to his younger siblings like i do. nobody would understand that he never wanted to be who he is and if rowan had never died, he might actually hate this version of himself like i do. nobody would understand his fear of hurting people but willingness to do anything to protect people he loves like i do. nobody understands his dissonance with who he is like i do. nobody understands how nothing he ever does really feels like his alone like i do.

i genuinely do think i would be insufferable if anyone had a bad take about him. as such i will shut my mouth now

have a very quick and messy oc doodle because i was in a pirate mood

A preview of my coming soon fan comic.

what if rissa was trapped in an elevator? :3

She isn’t claustrophobic, fortunately! So, she’s able to think it through; she’s generally pretty quick/decisive and fiercely independent, so she’d probably try to solve the problem herself like trying to jimmy the doors open or get a look at what’s going on in the shaft before she’d think to use the “Press to call for help!” button pretty much all elevators have.

If Ione was with her (happens more often than not) she’d try to help her get “centered” to direct her telekinesis towards moving or opening the elevator! (Ione’s powers can be pretty emotionally reactive; Rissa reassures and grounds her in tough spots.)

Honestly, she’d just be annoyed more than anything, not especially freaked out. (In contrast, I got stuck in an elevator with my mobility aid in the first week of 7th grade at a new school and started shaking and crying calling for help because it was a huge building in terms of student size and I was convinced no one would find me 🥲)
