AKT 28: Schwanengesang
“I’m sorry… […] if I disappear… this heart shard…will return”
“The depths of despair… why is it so calm I wonder…[…] There’s nothing here…not even love… All is left is to dance until death ”
Both swans fall into desperation. Like a song sang before departing, they dance one last time while an apology is whispered in their hearts.
…someone will reach out, for sure

Haven’t really been able to draw a whole lot because of health stuff. So I decided to do a scene redraw of Duck to get back into the hang of it. She is so cute, I couldn’t resist.

pt IX good omens on livestream, i'm not ok: S1E4
You did it, Good Omens fandom, my dear maggots. You broke me in every way. Now I'm here, and where I once spent my day peacefully being sad about normal things, I'm now sad about a random fact about nightingales I learned on a British ornithology site and this is just... the brainrot. It's real. Raise brainrot awareness. Prevention is better than the nonexistent cure.
Well, I've procrastinated this post by like 48 hours by drawing fanart and being mopey over Crowley and generally being asleep because I'm still on antibiotics and ill. So let us not procrastinate further. First, episode 4. Tally, hoes!
In preparation for the stream, I gathered two emotional support oranges, only one of which was gaseous, and an apple. This was so that rather than waste an orange on being gay for Crowley I'd use the apple for that, symbolic of his temptation in the Garden of Eden etc. I didn't know how badly this plan would go.
On Discord, our collective loins girded, I noticed with no small suspicion that everyone was muttering about the bookshop and whether I'd be okay. When I demanded frantically what happened to the bookshop (I THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS IN S2) everyone shut up and told me the bookshop was in tiptop shape and it was all tickety-boo and nothing would happen at all in episode 5.
Spoiler alert it is not all tickety-boo.
We start with Aziraphale going for a jog to keep uh fit for exercising with Crowley, and he is interrupted by Gabriel, who is not Jimbriel, and is not naked, that is, we cannot see his arse yet, but we can see that he is an arse.
We then see not-Newt the deliveryman with his wife Maude and they are the only straight couple that the people on the chat care about. Calling him not-Newt is going to pose problems for me.
Crowley is being a smart baby, and researching astronomy. Poor Crowley. I love Crowley. Do you understand? I LOVE CROWLEY.
There is a lot of talk of spoons and forks and such innuendos. I make a joke about scissors being missing. The chat does not notice. I am disappointed in the gays.
I am so engrossed in the way Death says "deeAaaAAthHHhh" that I fail to notice Not-Newt get killed delivering a message to Death. This is going to pose problems for me.
I forgot about the apocalypse plotline till the horsepeople arrive. This is understandable. I care not for this 'world' ending, my new world is Crowley. I love Crowley.
Duck aliens fucking descend. This is not a joke. There are duck aliens, and they are supportive of trans people. Newt does not count their nipples.
The Shad guy doesn't care Newt found aliens. He is upset that Newt didn't find witches. If Shad was mowing his lawn and found gold, he would toss it aside because he is focused on mowing. I can respect that. People make jokes about Newt eventually finding a witch.
It is suddenly a Christopher Nolan movie. Someone corrects me and says it's more like Jerry Bruckheimer. I do not know what that is.
Someone says Crowley destroys the Bentley but for whatever reason, like a lot of people before, makes it a black box that you have to click to read. I don't mind that, I like clicking.
Aziraphale bought out a theatre for Crowley, like a Kdrama where the rich CEO buys out an entire theatre for his working class girl.
Adam goes through what I went through with OCD. It is not fun.
It is now a horror movie. Adam floats in the air. That was not a symptom I had with OCD.
Crowley asks Aziraphale to run away with him to the stars. Aziraphale says no. Crowley is upset and my baby Azi looks so sad and confused about everything he believes in. Great. I'm totally fine, I think as I start stuffing my emotional support orange into my mouth.
It is now a Home Alone movie. Crowley in gloves is sexy. Mmmmmmm yes. Crowley does great advertising for plant spray bottles as he murders and threatens demons.
I point out that the GO book says Crowley can do "weird things with his tongue" as I learned from the GO scent guide company page. It was after all the most relevant take-away from that page.
Disco Tony arrives. This is not a safe space.
AZIRAPHALE KEEPS TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND IS FAILED BY HEAVEN LEAVE MY BABY AZI ALONE WTF GO AWAY. THE ANGELS WALL SLAM HIM TOO. THAT'S CROWLEY'S THING YOU BASTARDS.
Newt and Anathema are cute. I DON'T NOTICE BECAUSE IM SO UPSET HE'S CHEATING ON MAUDE AND WONDERING WHY THE CHAT IS OKAY WITH IT BECAUSE I AM A FOOL WHO CONTINUES TO MIX UP NEWT WITH NOT-NEWT AND THEN THE CHAT TELLS ME NOT-NEWT DIED AND I'M CONFUSED.
Newt and Anathema are having sex. As an aspec person, I am very alarmed at the visuals.
Azi is failed by heaven and the metatron. Shocker. Fucking get away from Azi. Azi is miserable and looks like he wants to cry.
AZI IS EXORCISED AND THE FUCKING FLAME CATCHES IN THE BOOKSHOP AND THE EPISODE ENDS.
TAKE MY PAIN MOTHERFUCKERS. I WILL POST THIS AND THEN WRITE THE EP5 PART.

Day to Day Norm Pt.7
Norm x F!Quaritch!Reader
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the fanart, screenshots, or gifs used with my stories.
Warnings: Angsty, shitty songcord written by yours truly (pls don't come at me about it I know it's not good😭)
Spoken in Na'vi
Part 6 Part 8
Tumblr media
The early part of the morning had just started but Norm and Jake were anything but happy about the morning. This morning they prepare your body for burial later in the day. While your avatar would be buried close to Tsu'tey's, your human body would be buried at Hell's Gate along with your dad and all of the people who defected with him. Neytiri walked into the kelku where they were preparing your body and she knelt next to your head. She took out the braids from the battle and redid them in a more traditionally elegant manner. She took the song cord she had helped you piece together before the destruction of Hometree and handed it to Norm.
"I will teach you what each part means, the song it creates, so that you may remember her by her accomplishments." Neytiri tells Norm, who ducks his head sadly. His ears drooped back as he nodded.
"Thank you, Neytiri." Norm says and she gives him a small smile.
"We're here for you anytime you need us." Jake tells Norm, who chuckles lightly.
"If I'm correct... You two have something a bit more important to think about." Norm says gesturing toward Neytiri's stomach. The couple looks away from him bashfully. Not because of the events that led to the pregnancy or newly mated bliss, but because they were still sitting next to your body. The one who was supposed to bare his children. The three continue to work on cleaning your body and Neytiri starts humming. Jake's ears perk up and he listens to her as she sings.
"What are you singing?" Jake asks her and she casts a look at your songcord. He takes hold of her hand gently. "Why don't you sing it for us?" She holds her hand out for Norm to return the songcord to her and he does so. Norm as your mate and Jake as your brother return to their duty as Neytiri starts humming a base melody.
"Ma Eywa has given me freedom from my first life." She sang as she ran her finger over the first bead, which Jake recognized as a bioluminescent rock he had given to you when you were accepted into the Omatikaya to train with them. "For this, I give my thanks. We live among the people as one of them. For this, I give my thanks." Neytiri continued to sing as she ran her fingers over smaller wooden beads. The next bead seemed to be handmade since it was mostly yellow, with red dropped in the middle of it. "Ma Eywa has given me a brother, ma Jake." Jake's ears perk forward at that verse since it spoke of him as your family. The chorus repeated and Jake and Norm were both watching her fingers run over the beads. The next was a tuft of hair held together by a small strip of leather. "In coming here I was given a mother. So smart and so strong and beautiful, ma Grace." Neytiri's voice started to waver but she continued determined to finish. "He came to his mind and Sees us. He came back to me, ma sempul, Miles." Jake's ears dip back thinking of how beautiful your songcord is, but how tragic it is when he thinks about those who have been mentioned. The next larger bead was blue with a lighter brown circle on one side. "Ma Eywa, brought ma tsmukan, Miles. The sweet younger brother who will be strong like our father." Her finger drifts over the next noticeable bead which had been carved and painted blue and green. "By Eywa's grace, ma tsmuke(sister), Neytiri. She Sees us for who we are, not where we come from." The song continued with how you had passed your iknimaya and been fully accepted as one of the people. She continues down the cord and smiles at the second to last larger bead. "She gifted me him, my savior. The man I will love for all eternity, ma Norm." She sings and continues down the line. The last bead was where she seemed to freeze for a moment and took a deep breath. The bead was a small rough rock that Neytiri knew the meaning of. She knew because the two of you had added these beads together and she had a matching one on her songcord. "Ma Norm and I, we welcome a new life. It grows inside me right now. A welcome addition to my family." Neytiri closed out the song cord and Norm cast his eyes down to your body.
"Neytiri... Was she pregnant?" Jake asked the question that was swirling in Norm's head.
"She was." Neytiri whispered and Jake felt like the air had been knocked from his lungs. Norm was silent as he looked over your figure, trying to process this information.
"Why didn't she stay out of the war if she knew?" Norm asked Neytiri after he finally found his voice.
"As High Warrior, it was her place to fight beside our Olo'eyktan to free our people." Neytiri told him.
"But how would she have known it had only been a few days since we mated and... Wouldn't that have been too early to tell?" Norm finally asks her.
"No. My mother knew of us both being with child within a couple of days." Neytiri told him and the sob he had been holding in finally clawed its way out of his throat. Jake hopped over your body and held Norm close to him.
"I'm so sorry Norm. If I would've known I could've tried to get her to stay behind with Mo'at." Jake says but it does little to console him. Neytiri continues with her duties of dressing you. She ensures your chest piece and tweng fit your role as High Warrior and drapes the headpiece she had made for you on your head.
"Ma Jake... She is ready." Neytiri says and Jake moves to pick you up but Norm stops him.
"I can do it." Norm tells him as he picks up your body and carries you to where you'll be buried. Norm passes a small family of three consisting of a young girl, a small boy, and their father. The little boy reaches out and grabs the hand that hanging from your body.
"Setxä." The boys' father reaches and removes his hand from yours.
"But that is her!" The boy says and his father nods.
"I know Setxä. I know, but she is with Eywa now." The Na'vi man pulls his son into his arms and away from your unmoving figure. Norm set you down in your final resting place, and he rolled your prosthetic pinky in his hand. He could remember that day like it was yesterday.
-Flashback-
Jake was still in his link pod, Trudy was walking around with Grace outside, and that left you and Norm by yourselves. The two of you were tangled up under the blankets in his bunk. You had long since put on your underwear and one of Norm's t-shirts which were large on you, while he wore his boxers and nothing else.
"I can't wait." You tell him and he chuckles.
"I can't wait either. Everything you and Jake told me about it I can't help but want to experience it too." Norm says and you snuggle into his chest.
"And I'm gonna be right there with you. Every step of the way." You say and he stick out his pinky.
"Pinky promise?" He says jokingly but you take that as a challenge of humor. So you remove your fake pinky and hand it to him.
"I pinky promise." You whisper to him and he outright laughs at the joke.
-Flashback Over-
"You kept your promise." Norm says quietly as he leans forward and presses a light kiss to your forehead. "I love you (Y/n)." He says and steps up next to Jake who kneels next to your grave with an Atorkirina in hand. He had done this many times today already but this one felt heavier. Far more difficult for him to deliver than the others. He was finally able to let go of the Atokirina and it danced around your torso and it settled in your hands.
13 Years Later
"Norm, can I talk to you for a moment?" Norm turned toward Max and sent his friend a tired smile. He had been spending alot of time in his avatar but he didn't stop taking care of Miles, though the boy prefers Spider these days. Matter of fact that's who Max was having to drag him away from. The two men walked away from the group of kids to a silent corner.
"What can I do for you Max?" Norm asks and Max quickly turns and pulls Norm into his private lab. Norm gapes at the room and all of the equipment inside it, especially the growth tube with an Avatar inside of it.
"I'm sure you recognize most of this tech." Max says and Norm nods.
"Yeah, but why do you have it? And who is this for?" Norm asks and Max scratches the back of his head.
"That's my avatar. I needed to make sure it worked before I used it for the purpose it was meant for. Before you and Jake were stationed on Pandora, (Y/n) was able to trick Selfridge into buying all of this." Max says but he stops next to a box that had been open for a long time. "Except this. She saved five of her paychecks to buy this." Max opens the lid of the box and Norm peers inside and his eyes go wide.
"Is this what I think it is?" Norm asks him and Max nods. "But why did she want all of this?"
"Simple. For Spider." Max tells his friend and Norm runs a hand over the growth pod and the transfer device in his hand. "She planned to run the moment she was able to separate her consciousness from her human body to her avatar."
"What changed her mind?" Norm looked Max in the eye, and the shorter man fidgeted as he sat down.
"Spider was born then she met you. Suddenly she had more that she cared about at base than her deep desire to learn in the environment. Then everything happened and she got what she wanted." Max said and Norm gulped down the lump in his throat. "Since you're his caretaker I wanted to know what you thought about me carrying out (Y/n)'s wishes."
"You have my permission. It's what she wanted and it'll make it easier for him." Norm sniffs once and squats to leave the building closing the door behind him.
Meanwhile
Spider sprinted behind Lo'ak and Kiri watching as they raced toward the lab. Kiri was going to visit her mom, and Spider and Lo'ak were going to support her. The moment they were indoors the two Na'vi put on masks and Spider took off his. Kiri went to say hello to her mother while Lo'ak finally took the time to look over all the pictures on the walls. There were hundreds scattered from desktops to the walls and he had never stopped to look at the before. Spider followed behind him finding his sudden curiosity odd. There were four prominent figures in the majority of them. They weren't always together but they were near eachother often. Jake, Grace, Norm, and you doing various things. In one you and Grace are sitting at her desk at Hell's Gate while she teaches you. You had only arrived a few weeks before the picture being taken. The next you held a bow in your hand an annoyed Jake running behind you. Neytiri in the background laughing at the two of your stupidity. The next Grace was hugging Jake's shoulders with a kind smile on her face and Jake smiling as well.
"It is always so weird to see my father not as a Na'vi man." Lo'ak finally confesses and Spider huffs a laugh.
"Oh my gosh. Look at Norm in this one." Spider points to one hanging higher up on the wall. Lo'ak shifts his gaze to it and frowns when he sees it.
"Bro... He looked so happy." Lo'ak says and Spider is confused why until the picture is lowered for him to look at. Norm was with his back against the wall on the bottom bunk of a mobile unit. In his lap, you slept with your arms wrapped around his torso and your head rested on his chest. Norm had his head laid on top of yours and he had a content smile on his face and looked like he might fall asleep himself.
"Yeah, he did look happy there." Spider says sadly but his eyes remained glued to you.
"I think you'd like this one Spider." Kiri had joined them and she took the picture off the side of the fridge and handed it to him. You were in the medical wing holding a small baby boy in your arms. Your dad was holding you as you continued to stare at the boy you held, and your dad couldn't stop staring at both of you. His children.
"Max told me that was the day you were born." Kiri tells him and Spider inhales sharply to hide the stutter of his breathing.
"Hey Spider I want to make sure you don't have any developing allergies. I'm going to draw some blood if that's alright with you?" Max asks him and Spider nods and follows him to a sterile area. Max draws some of his blood and actually tests some of it for any health anomalies.
"How am I looking Max?" Spider asks him and Max smiles warmly at Spider.
"Perfectly healthy." Max says and Spider fist-bumps the air.
"Hey Max. You spent the most time with them. What were they like?" Spider asks and Max nearly drops the vile of blood in his hands. He carefully sets it down and turns to Spider.
"Both Quaritch and (Y/n) were so stubborn and headstrong. At first I thought they were opposites, but I was so wrong. Closer to the war Quaritch showed exactly where (Y/n) got all of her personality traits. Honorable, protective, caring, and selfless. You remind me of them alot." Max tells Spider who tucks his legs closer to his chest.
"I wish I could remember them." Spider said and Max clasped Spider's shoulder.
"They would've been proud of you." Max says and Spider sighs.
"Were either of them funny?" Spider asks and Max starts to answer but moves over to his monitor instead.
"Maybe some of their video logs can answer that better than I can." Max says and moves out of the way for Spider to watch the screen. You were sitting infront of the camera talking about observations you were making on a plant. The sound of fast-approaching wheels catches Spider's attention and Jake comes into view of the camera.
"What the fuck is that?" Jake asks and you look up from the microscope and roll your eyes.
"Panopyra or as the Na'vi call them tawtsngal, which means Sky Cup. They use the liquid in them for a nutritious and healing drink." You tell Jake who looks in the microscope.
"I still have no idea about plant life here." Jake says and you smack the side of his head lightly.
"Skxawng. Don't hurt your head trying to learn." You laugh and Jake turns to you displeased.
"You and Neytiri will cause more damage to my head than me learning." Jake says and you scoff. Jake retaliated by dragging you out of your chair and into his lap as he attacked your sides. You thrash in his hold for a bit until you're able to escape as Norm comes into the room. It surprises Spider how well Norm is able to stay standing when you jump up and attach yourself to Norms back.
"Protect me! Jake is finally taking his revenge for us forcing him to use that lump that's three feet above his ass!" You say dramatically and Norm shakes his head chuckling.
"Children. I live with children." Norm says and you look between Jake and Norm. You then smack the side of his face and jump off of him and take off to hide from them.
"A menace, Norm. You're dating a menace." Jake says and Norm takes notice of the camera that's still on and turns it off. Spider laughed for a good chunk of the time that the video was playing.
Nearly two years later the clan had to relocate after Hometree was destroyed again, and a new war had begun.
A Year Later
"She's waking up now." A voice said but you didn't recognize who it belonged to.
"Can you hear me, Corporal?" Someone else asks. You sit up and shoo them away from you.
"Where's my dad?" You ask them and they motion for someone off to the side to come forward. Instead of your dad a Na'vi man comes toward you and since you don't recognize him you panic.
"Baby girl. Deep breaths it's me. They thought it would be a good idea for you to wake up to them since you spent some time as a POW with the Na'vi." Your Dad says and he casts a sideways glance at the scientists and you catch onto what he saying.
"Yeah. Yeah, I get it, but I need my dad." You said as you wrapped your arms around your dad and he returns the hug. He cradles the back of your head as he plants a kiss on the crown of your head.
"Let's get you dressed." He says and hands you a stack of clothing. You put on most of the clothing but opt to throw your shoes to the side. You follow your father to a locker room where everyone else was waiting.
"Ah. Our guide has finally arrived!" Simmens exclaimed when you walked into the room.
"Simmens. Always a pleasure." You say and he walks right up next to you and wraps an arm over your shoulders.
"We were so worried when you were kept as a POW (prisoner of war). I was relieved we had you do your soul drive two weeks early. We'll need someone with expertise in Pandoran flora and fauna." Simmens says and you sigh.
"I'm not an expert. I never even got to graduate college." You tell him and he shook his head.
"Nonsense. You know plenty that we don't know. Ain't that right everyone?" Simmens asks everyone in the room and most nod and hum in agreement. You slip out of Simmens grasp and sit behind Lyle and Mansk. You plopped your flat hand onto Lyle's head with an audible 'plep' and you giggled.
"Damn Wainfleet. Still couldn't get hair even when in a Na'vi body." You joke and he shakes his head. He turns and playfully hisses at you and you return the favor. His eyes go wide as he stares at your mouth and you get confused.
"Uh, Colonel. You two share a gene." Lyle says and you become even more confused. Your dad turns around to look at the two of you. "Open your mouth, (Y/nn)." Lyle says and you open your mouth and your dad smiles wide.
"Would you look at that. She's got my smile." Your Dad says and you notice his three canines. You run your tongue over your canines and give a toothy smile.
"Extra intimidation factor." You say and your dad chuckles as he throws his arm around your shoulders and you lean into his side.
Later on, as you were all getting ready to depart to go down to Pandora, you, Lyle, and Mansk were joking around with each other.
"Simmens has won the universe's most stubborn asshole." Mansk says quietly.
"Yeah. Still has a giant boner for you even after dying and coming back to life." Lyle says and you you laugh with your mouth closed.
"You guys are mean but not wrong. I think he's a huge creep. I mean he met me when I was a literal 16-year-old." You tell them and Lyle cringes.
"What about lover boy (Y/n)?" Lyle asks you and you look away from them.
"I want to find them again. I love Norm so much and he's still out there... I can feel it." You say and Mansk pats Lyle on the back. "Sorry Lyle but you're like a cool older brother."
"Ain't gotta apologize. You love who you love." He says and you frown. "I mean it. I'd rather keep you as a friend if I can't have you as my girl." He smiles and nudges your chin with his knuckles. You boarded the shuttle between Lyle and your dad and huffed in annoyance at having to wear a mask inside. You tuck your braids behind your ear and lean your head on your dad's arm. When the shuttle lands and you start to walk down the ramp your dad turns to your group.
"Masks off!" He calls out and you nearly tear it off of your face. You scowl when your bare feet touch the pavement and start wishing to grant death to the people who did all of this. Killed off the natural life just to place cold dead material in its place. You prance along behind your dad and Lyle as they lead the group into Bridgehead City. Big ugly concrete buildings that you would have been elated to never see again when you came out here. Your dad and Simmens get called over by some horrid-looking woman for a chat. Your dad motions to Lyle for him to stay near you and he does so along with Ja and Mansk. The group was led to an area that was made for the recoms and everyone ended up sitting around and waiting. Until your dad and Simmens came in and briefed everyone on our mission. Lyle had his arm slung over your shoulders to ground you and remind you to keep calm until later. It was an unspoken thing between everyone in your dad's squad. Everyone could remember everything up until their death. Everyone was led to an armory to grab guns and ammo and anything else they might need. When you got there you found the only weapon that interested you, which was a compact bow and its arrows and a few knives just in case.
After everyone was armed you went back outside heading straight for a couple of ships. You boarded a ship with your dad's squad and thanked Eywa you didn't have to be near Simmens. The moment the ships landed one of Simmens men tried to touch a bright pink flower. You smacked his hand away and glared at him.
"Don't touch that or you'll be so horny for the next 48 hours that you'll have to be isolated." You tell him and he backs away from the plant. You quickly and quietly scale a large fallen tree as everyone else travels on the ground. Their large boots leaving tracks through the mossy and grassy ground. You continue to scout from above making as little sound as possible while you all made your way through the old battlefield. You spot the familiar shack up ahead and press your neck com.
"Damaged mobile unit up ahead." You tell them and your dad moves some of the foliage aside.
"We see it. Stay up high and hidden. We'll need someone to give us an advantage if we get ambushed." Simmens says.
"This is a battlefield. To them, it would mostly be off-limits. Seen as a war grave in a way." You tell him and you see him wave his hand around to dismiss what you said. You scoff and move to a different tree while they all go to the shack. Mansk and Lyle continuously cast glances your way to see if you're signaling them. Their sunglasses were able to pick up on the red light of your laser pointer. You look out over the foliage and feel yourself smile. Even after all of the fighting and explosions life would regrow. You hear muffled speaking and look under the tree you're in and see a group of kids. They were all watching your group hidden behind some plants. You signal Mansk since he was looking in your direction and he nudges Lyle.
Your group starts a pincer maneuver while the kids start to leave. You follow the from above and when Mansk jumps out and grabs the youngest Lyle takes hold of the girl. Both the Na'vi and human boys had their bows drawn and aimed at your dad's squad. Your dad joins the group and shows them a picture of Jake and you shake your head. The Na'vi are honorable and would never sell out Toruk Makto. You decide to put in your two cents and jump down from the tree you're in. Your feet hit the ground silently and you approach the group.
"Calm down everyone. They're just kids." You say and your dad looks at you. "Colonel... They're just kids." You tell him and he nods once and puts away the picture. You stop infront of the only Na'vi boy and take in his features. Some of his features seemed... familiar.
"You're supposed to be dead." The human boy says quickly and you turn to him only to find he's looking at your dad.
"Yeah? What's it to you?" Your Dad asks him and your eyes widen at the familiar golden brown eyes. "What's your name?"
"Spider... Soccorro." He says and your hand involuntarily flies to your mouth. The Na'vi boy had been studying you the entire time. Trying to place where he had seen you before, I'd he even had. Then his eyes fly wide open and he turns to Spider with a shocked expression.
"Spider... It's your sister!" The boy says and Spider finally looks at you and his face pales and falls. You hear approaching footsteps and you look over your dad's group and they all nod for secrecy.
"Ah, you got us a catch huh?" You hear Simmens say and you cringe. Trying to work out a good plan to get everyone out of this alive and hopefully unscathed.

a little sad abt pizza tower
i am very obsessed w PT. it has a gorgeous soundtrack, lovely visuals, impressive and fun animations and character designs. it comes from a lot of video game history but is still really unique. i absolutely think that it is one of the best indie games out there and
there is SO much love put into it.
i think the goblin characters and the tribal cheese should be changed. i did not think the creator was a horrible person for saying something bad 5 yrs ago. i was a horrible vindictive cruel person 5 yrs ago
however. more stuff has come out, like him saying shit like "white n***er". this was not a long time ago. it was only 2 yrs ago. during the peak of blm.
he does not seem like the type to pander to people he doesnt agree with so i dont expect or need an apology. i dont think any of us were "milkshake-ducked". we should not assume people online are flawless and share identical politics and sentiments to us.
but because he is much much farther right than the center-left milquetoast eclair backbone person i expected,
i cannot in good conscience continue supporting such a fantastic game when the stains are this big.
i have not been this enamoured with a video game since tf2. it is really really special to me. i have a lot of grief with the fact that every time i see the game or fanart i think of the shit hes said. i still love the game but i cant in good conscience continue RBing. i will still like the cute community posts you guys make. this was a nice two week rollercoaster but everything must end eventually. i can already see the fandom's numbers slowing over the past three days. i tried to stay on the ship for as long as i could but im not gonna stay. i am. very sad. please update me if mcpig ever responds to the stuff leveled against him and his past.

For the PT ask game: 🎼 (Favorite song used in the show?); 🗡 (Unpopular opinions?)
Favorite Song: Oh dear, that first one is really tough because all the music in the show is just wonderful. Can I cheat and pick one character that ends up with a lot of songs I like? Yes? No? If I can cheat, I'm gonna say pretty much all the songs associated with Rue. But if I absolutely must pick only one song, then I'm going with Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saens. I am never going to be able to listen to that song again without picturing the madness of Goldkrone descending into the Crow Festival or Rue's desperation to save Mytho from the harm that she brought him. I am gonna cheat a little and pick a runner up: A Midsummer Night's Dream - Overture by Felix Mendelssohn. It's a piece I've liked since before I got back into classical music, and the episode with Hermia was just a lot of fun.
Unpopular Opinions: Hoo boy, I know I've got unpopular opinions, so let's get my spiciest one out of the way: I think it's important to refer to Duck by whatever the word for "duck" is in a person's primary language. Someone came into my ask box about that a while ago asking what's wrong with calling her Ahiru since that's her name, and I gave it a long answer, but here's the shorter, more accurate answer: she doesn't have a name. She's a duck. That's the point.
Second unpopular opinion: I don't want Princess Tutu to get any sort of sequel/continuation material. A reboot or a movie of the events of the show is fine, but the show itself said a story with no ending is a kind of tragedy. Princess Tutu has a very thematically satisfying ending, and I don't want to lose that. I'm fine with fanfiction and fanart and such because that's just for fun. That's me having my cake and eating it, too. But an actual canon continuation? I don't need it.
Third unpopular opinion, but this one's more of a joke: Anteaterina got robbed. My girl's got both raw talent and endurance and probably would have been able to dance Giselle even with the burden of the Heartshard of Bitter Disappointment. She did like over 50 fouettes in her danceoff with Princess Tutu!! She deserved a spot in the Advanced Class!

AKT 29: Hoffnung
A warm glow extends from the duck's body 🐥🦢
The writer weeps 📜✍🏼💧
The story is going to end
“I know I’m just a duck. I can’t even put on ballet shoes…but… I feel like I can dance for Mytho, for Rue, for everyone…Fakir…lend me your strength!”
“Fakir…I can still dance…”
“The duckling stood up. No matter how wounded she was, she didn’t stop dancing. Because it was the only thing she could do right now”
“Don’t lose against the Raven’s blood. Don’t give in into despair. Let’s give this story…a happy ending. Don’t give up. Don’t be afraid”
“That little body was so wounded that she could not even stand. But…to guide the Prince and everyone to a happy ending, no matter how much it hurt, without losing hope…she continued dancing”
Tumblr media
“That power emanated from the body of the little duckling. One by one, she brought back the warmth to the hearts frozen by the blood of the Raven…that power was-”

Alright fellas, it’s time we finally put this issue to rest and answer the question we’ve all thought about but haven’t been brave enough to ask.
When Duck lets her hair down naturally, is it straight or wavy? Or other?

Princesses pas de deux.
So, I did the Princess Tutu one a few months ago, and I wanted to draw a Princess Kraehe one as well. And I ended up combining the two.
Both are available on my Redbubble, in duet or separated !

According to Plan Pt.2
Recom!Quaritch x F!Metkayina!Reader
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the fanart, screenshots, or gifs uses with my stories.
Warnings: Light bullying, no trust, some violence.
Part 1 Part 3
Tumblr media
You woke up early the next day and prepared extra food for the newcomers. Spider woke up when he heard you cooking and decided to come investigate.
"Good morning, (Y/n). What is for breakfast?" He asked and you motioned to the fish you have cooking.
"Fruit and fish. I am making more to feed the sky demons." You tell Spider and he grabs his cutting board and his knife. He starts helping you cut up the fruit and separate it into leaf pouches. When the food is done the two of you pack all of the food into baskets and head to the sky demon's marui's. Spider knocks on the entryway of their abodes and all of them slowly start waking up. There was one missing. You spin to look for him when he appears by your side.
"Sorry. I'm an early riser. Figured I'd stretch my legs with a walk on the beach." Quaritch said and you rolled your eyes.
"We brought you all breakfast." Spider piped up when he realized your hesitancy to speak to them.
"You're so thoughtful Spider." Quaritch spoke and Spider shook his head.
"It was her idea. She cooked the fish, and we both cut up the fruit." Spider told his dad who looked at you with an untrusting gaze.
"No good in training if you are weak." You spoke and a few of them laughed. "Today I teach you to breathe, and how to swim."
"We already know how to breathe sweetheart." Quaritch said as everyone settled down to eat.
"Not proper. From here." You patted your stomach. Spider nudged in to sit next to you and you smiled at him.
"Maybe let them eat before you start trying to teach them." Spider suggests.
"I was giving them an example not teaching them." You tell him and he chuckles. You hear footsteps approaching the marui and you turn to the door to see who it is. You find Tonowari standing there and you bring your hand to your head. "Oel ngati kameie, Olo'eyktan."
"Oel ngati kameie, (Y/n)." He greets you back and looks around at the eating men. "Did you make them first meal?"
"Yes. I suspect they are useless with hunting right now, but once I'm done with them they will be fine hunters." You tell him and he nods once.
"Very good." He says and starts examining the men. "Very muscular. They should be able to throw a spear well. Especially these two." He points out Quaritch and the bald one.
"Maybe. I will try my best to teach them when it comes time for it." You say and he clicks his tongue.
"I will teach them to throw a spear." He says and you look up at him confused. "I said I would help where I can. I will teach them to throw a spear." You bow your head.
"Yes, Olo'eyktan." You say to him and he nods.
"Very good. If you and Tirea'eylan need any help call for me, and I will help." Tonowari says and he ducks out of the marui.
"Why do you do what that guy tells you to do?" The bald one asks and you glare at him.
"He is the Olo'eyktan. The leader. You must do what he tells you, or you could be punished." Spider tells them.
"Tonowari is a good leader and a good man." You say.
"What is he your boyfriend or something?" Quaritch asks and you look at him confused.
"What is a boyfriend?" You ask them.
"Uh, a boyfriend is the human version of a male courting you." Spider says through laughter and you recoil in disgust.
"That is my brother." You say in a disgusted tone. Quaritch's ears pin back and he seems mortified by what he just suggested. He's from the south so he had been on the receiving end of that joke too many times to count.
"I'm sorry I didn't know." He apologizes, but that just leads Spider and the rest of the men to continue laughing. You turned and looked out of the entrance and the sun was starting to raise into the sky.
"Finish. We start soon." You tell them and leave the marui. There was something about them that you couldn't trust, but you couldn't quite place it. You waited at the end of the docks for Spider and the avatars. You heard footfalls approach you from behind so you turned to greet whoever it was. You find Jake smiling awkwardly. He brings his hand to his forehead.
"Oel ngati kameie, (Y/n)." Jake greets and you bring your hand to your forehead as well.
"Oel ngati kameie, Jake." You return his greeting.
"How's the training going?" He asks as he looks around for the avatars.
"We have not started yet. Besides today we are only teaching them to breathe, and how to speak Na'vi, and we will get to sign language soon." You tell him and he nods.
"Please let me know if they step out of line. I don't trust these guys." He tells you and you nod.
"I understand. I do not trust them either, but I have already been asked by Tonowari to involve him should the need arise. You and your family are to be as low contact with them as possible." You tell him and he sighs. There's no room for argument from him because here he holds no power. He can't use Toruk Makto anymore because he gave up that title years ago, and he holds no position of rank. You, however, used to be tsakarem before Tonowari mated with Ronal.
"Atleast let me help with teaching them to throw a spear." Jake says and you shake your head.
"That duty has been taken off of my hands by my brother. He has insisted on teaching them atleast one thing." You tell Jake and he sighs defeatedly.
"Alright. I understand none of you want me to risk anything here." He says.
"It is the reason you came to us. You and your family are to be living a peaceful life. Not involving yourself with training the demons." You tell him and he nods. "Go. Go help train the new hunters or go hunting. Something away from here." You shoo him off and he reluctantly leaves. You sat down by the water's edge waiting for your students to arrive. A throat clears behind you and you gesture to the sand next to you.
"So what about Sully?" Quaritch asks.
"A trusted advisor to my brother, and a good friend. Had Jake not been mated before he came here, my brother would have had me become his mate." You state like it's obvious.
"But why? Does your tribe truly know him that well?" Quaritch asks.
"When you are in charge of the clan, knowing your mate does not matter. And with Jake's reputation, he would have been what my brother would've wanted for me." You tell him and look him in the eyes. "By the grace of Eywa, he was already mated. We would have argued constantly."
"Then why haven't you gotten... mated?" Quaritch asks and you stare at the water.
"I have too many duties to worry over finding a mate. I teach the younger children to breathe, to hunt, and to ride ilu. I also help Tsahík train the tsakarem." You tell him and give him a questioning gaze. "Why do you want to know?"
"You seem like a nice woman. It's hard to believe that you would be without a mate." He says after he clears his throat.
"I never found a mate that could provide the way the clan would need him to. My brother is the only one that was strong enough to become Olo'eyktan. I told him to find a mate so he could take his place... He tried to argue that I had worked harder to become Tsahík than he did to become Olo'eyktan. So I found Ronal, befriended her, and introduced her to Tonowari. Once he started courting her I taught her to be Tsahík." You told him and he chuckled.
"You remind me of my ma. She used to try to play matchmaker for me with the girls from church. None of 'em ever felt right though." He said with humor in his voice. The other's footsteps caught your attention and you stood up to lead them. You took a seat near the shallows and gestured for the rest to sit with you.
"To breathe your heart must beat slow and air must go deep within." You instruct them. "Tirea assist the bald one, he seems to struggle." She moved to the bald one and starts to instruct him and you look over the group. "The one with the eye coverings." You spoke and the one with the black squares on his face looks at you.
"Ma'am?" He asks.
"Your posture is bad. Straighten the spine so the air can flow easier." You told him and he sat up straighter. "You're the Mansk correct?"
"Yes, ma'am. It's just Mansk." He says and you nod.
"What is your name bald one?" You ask the bald one and he looks at you.
"I'm Lyle, ma'am." He tells you and you nodded. "This is Ja and Z-Dog." He tells you and you examine 'Z-Dogs' tattoos.
"We won't have space for your passing of the iknimaya tattoo." You tell her and she looks at you surprised.
"The what?" She asks you.
"In the Metkayina when you pass your iknimaya and become an adult, the Tsahík will grant you a tattoo. Tattoos are a part of our culture and very important to show who you are. Tirea'eylan has multiple tattoos showing her strength and brave soul." You tell them and your friend shows her tattoos to the group.
"And what do yours mean? I mean you're crazy strong to get a tattoo on your forehead." Z-Dog says.
"This is the tattoo of the tsakarem and once you become the Tsahík it is expanded to show your place. I received this one and one other when I passed my iknimaya." You showed them the tattoo that's directly over your heart that runs across your ribs under your breasts.
"What does that one mean?" Mansk asks curiously.
"It means that I am strong in Seeing people and that I have a strong heart." You tell them and Lyle stiffens.
"What do you mean see people?" Mansk asks.
"I can see them for their true character." You tell them and make sure to pointedly look each of them in the eye.
"You tryna say somethin' sweetheart?" Miles asks.
"I do not trust any of you. Your story seems unlikely and the Mansk was okay with shooting a child." You say and Mansk visibly shrinks back with his ears pressed back.
"That's unfair to him! You don't get to jud-" Miles says and he starts to stand to show authority, but your eyes narrow. You stand slowly as his words die out.
"(Y/n)." Spider tries to get your attention but you aren't backing down.
"This is my home. My people. You came to us 'seeking sanctuary', but I do not see change in you demon." You growl out. "If you do not stand down now I will have no choice but to put you in your place." Unbeknownst to you Tirea'eylan had run to go get Tonowari.
"You wouldn't beable to take me down honey." Miles says.
"Boss I think this is a bad idea." Lyle says but Miles continues to stare you down. You finally strike having enough with the disrespect and punch his stomach. The wind is knocked from his lungs and he hunches over enough to allow you to get him on the ground on his stomach. You hold him in place by grabbing his tswin and hold it at knife point.
"You will learn your place or you will die. I do not care who you used to be and who you still are. You must earn our respect or you will be outcast." You tell him in the most threatening voice you've ever produced.
"(Y/n) stand aside." You hear your brother say and you back away from the demon and take your place behind him. "What happened?" He asks Tirea'eylan.
"He challenged her authority when she expressed she does not trust them." She tells him and he sighs angrily.
"You will return to helping Ronal today to calm down. I will continue their lessons." Tonowari says and you bow your head.
"Yes, Olo'eyktan. I apologize for my behavior." You tell him and turn quickly to join the Tsahík with training Tsireya. When last meal came around you still held your head down in shame with your ears tucked back. A former tsakarem should not have responded in such a manner, but your distrust of them mixed with their disrespect sparked anger. They asked for uturu but acted as though they owned the land you walked on. This was the problem that humans suffered from. The thought that they owned everything and everyone. Tsireya catches onto your sour mood very quickly and places a gentle hand on yours.
"They are going through a transformation in their lives. It will take time for them to learn our ways." She says gently and you shake your head.
"The way to learn is not to argue with authority figures. They need to accept that they are no longer in charge." You tell her and she sighs.
"You taught me patience when I was younger. Is it a lesson you must relearn?" She asks you and you chuckle.
"Patience gains the result of hard work put into personal development, but there is no patience when there is no will to learn." You tell her and Ronal nods once.
"She speaks the truth. Patience with Toruk Makto's family was achievable through the fact that they wanted to learn. These vrrtep don't want to learn our ways. In time we will see what they are truly here for, but until then we must stay guarded." Ronal tells her daughter who doesn't seem too happy that neither you nor her mother were willing to show trust.
"They must be shown the trust we give others if we want them to want to learn. If patience in unachievable right now, then we make it readily available." She argues and you stop to think about her approach to this.
"Once you are older and you take a role of leadership you will understand our hesitancy to accept them." Ronal tells her daughter, but you cut in.
"But what if that's the perfect way to find out why they are here?" You ask her and she seems confused. "Show them our trust and see if we can build enough trust to see their truth." You suggest and Ronal shakes her head.
"Trusting them would be a fatal mistake." She says angrily.
"I said show them our trust so they will know that if we can change then they can too. Not take advantage of their real trust with our fake trust." Tsireya says while she crosses her arms across her chest.
"If they earn my actual trust along the way then it will happen by the will of Eywa. But for now I offer what Jake calls an "olive branch"... What is an olive anyways?" You wonder about the last part quietly but push it away since it doesn't matter. It's probably a weird human thing. This plan, however, is a good idea and the correct way to go. You excuse yourself and turn to leave with a new plan brewing in your mind.
