On Taris:

Amnesiac Revan *complaining about a sith guy in the canteen*: You know, I gave him an incredibly sexy look, but he ran away muttering that I was going to kill him...

Carth *sarcastically*: I have no idea how this could happen!

hi! may i request some mikoto + amane (platonic obvs) … anything? they are very dear to me 😭

Yes!!! Thank you so much for the request -- they really are such a good pair ;-; (The thing is, I had so many nice scenes in mind about how they parallel each other, but they wouldn't know or reveal that about each other so I kept restarting...) Anyway, here's something right after Mikoto's first trial/verdict!

Mikoto could pick up on someone’s bad mood from a mile away, though the skill was unnecessary when the other party very clearly and calmly informed him, “I’m in a bad mood.”

After refusing his offer, Amane turned back to a thick textbook she’d been taking notes on. Didn’t kids usually complain that school was already a prison? She must have wanted the full experience. He'd worked nonstop at his studies as well, but this was a new level. Amane often reminded him of his little sister, though she always took the extra step like this. His sister would have jumped at this opportunity to play a few rounds of their favorite card game.

“It’ll be fun!”

He flashed a smile, but it had no effect on her severe expression. “I know you’re just trying to comfort me about our verdicts. I refuse to be pitied.”

“Comfort and pity are two very different things. But anyway, it wasn’t either of those things.” He gave an easy shrug “To be honest, I’m just a little bored. It’s weird not having any work to do during the day.”

Mikoto couldn’t remember the last time in his life he’d had so many hours to himself. A lot of the others were fun to play games with. A few of the sportier prisoners helped him stay active. He enjoyed smoking breaks with the other men. Still, he was left to his own devices for the majority of his time. It was maddening. He’d recently requested some more art supplies, having used up the last batch, but they had yet to come in. Now with the verdict announcement, he wasn’t sure they’d ever arrive.

“That is your own problem. I already have something to do.” Her eyes lingered on the cards for the briefest of moments before returning to the book. “I told you, I’m not in the mood for it.”

Regardless of her hostility, he took a seat beside her. He leaned his arms out on the table. “We don’t have to play the same game.” The last time they'd played as a big group, several prisoners pulling the tables together to fit everyone. Amane had kept very quiet, eyes darting around at the cards as she tried to keep up with the rules. Not many of the others noticed the frustration clear in her face. Mikoto wasn’t the type to let her win out of pity, though he had begun to mutter the rules and strategies to himself a bit more as the night went on…

“Is there a game you liked to play at home?”

“No. There was no time for games in the house.”

“All work and no play… hah… I know what that’s like.” He slumped his cheek onto his arm, lazily shuffling the cards around. He felt bad for bothering the girl if she truly was upset. He thought it was the bad experience that made her reject him, he hadn’t realized there were also family issues attached. Usually he could read people well; maybe he was losing his touch. He seemed to be losing touch with a lot of things, these days.

He readied a game of solitaire.

“Mikoto?” Amane kept her face turned away. “There was… one game.”

“Yeah?” Mikoto shuffled the cards back together. He slid them over to her. “You should teach me!”

She didn’t touch them. “You probably already know it.”

“Nah, I only know a few games. I’m better with tarot cards, though those aren’t really the gaming type. Come on, what is it?”

She told him the name of the game, insisting it wouldn’t be worth playing. She kept her attention on the textbook, but her eyes weren’t reading any of it.

“Ahh, I’ve heard of that one! We start with four cards, right?” He started dealing them out.

“No, five –” she pointed to the deck, urging him to add two more.

“Right, right.” He laughed lightly. “And the goal is to get pairs, and put them in a pile, uhh, here.”

Amane shook her head. She shifted her body slightly towards him. “You must be thinking of a different game. There’s actually three piles for pairs. One here, one here, and when it’s your opponent’s turn…”

Her eyes gleamed as she explained the rules. She pointed to various cards, telling him exact moves and point values. “And to win, you need to –” Her expression shifted. “You… you already knew all this.”

“Of course not!” He put on his most convincing smile.

She deflated. “You’re not a very good liar.”

“Tch, tell that to the warden.”

His shoulders sagged along with her. If Amane could see right through him, why was the rest of Milgram still coming up with stories about what he did and didn’t do? “Well, I might already know the rules, but it’s been a long time since I’ve played. You can still give me a hand. Plus, if you really are in such a bad mood, it’ll be good to take a break from your studies. You should always take a break when things get too overwhelming, yeah?”

She gave him a withering stare.

“Eh? What’s that face for?”

“Alright, let’s play. You can go first.”

“I mean it, what was that look? Aw, come on…”

#milgram #mikoto kayano #amane momose #see - the thing is they both had crimes about 'protecting themself' but both would deny it was for that reason #they both seem to have some family trauma but would never admit it #theyre both used to putting on their best behavior and being 'good' for others but hardly realize that themselves #they are both in denial all the time !!!!!#so i tried to show them getting along for their own perceived reasons -- mikoto thinks he likes her because she reminds him of his sister #and amane thinks she likes him because hes being kind about their verdicts #and while both are right theyre Also drawn to each other because they are very similar at their core #and both have skills with reading people/picking up on cues making it tough to lie to one another #that forced honesty makes for a solid friendship haha!#i also remember a comment from yamanaka that amane would be the worst at card games because shed have trouble with the rules #she seems old enough to handle complex games but she probably never got to play a lot at home ;---; and mikoto probably learns a lot of #types of games (and tarot) so can connect with even more people #i thought long and hard on whether mikoto would let someone else win but he doesnt seem the type (plus amane would notice)#once again i know amane starts speaking in the plural but this comes a bit before that #yaay thank you so much for the request! this was really fun to do - i hope you enjoy!#ive thought a lot about amane and john but less on her and mikoto lol so this was nice :D #drabbles

So I started watching Trek for the first time in June of this year. In that time I've watched all of TNG and DS9, 3 movies, 13 eps of TOS, and 4.5 seasons of Voyager.

That's over 360 hours of pure Trek in 6 months.

It occurred to me today just how much lore I've digested in that time (get your head out of the gutter) and I wonder...

Just what all information did my brain purge to accommodate new vocabulary alone? 🤣

#what skills have i regressed to make space for the schematics of the enterprise d?#what memories have i forgone in favor of the life history and cybernetic functions of a dorky android?#would be nice if tom paris could edge out some old intrusive thoughts #star trek tng #star trek #star trek ds9 #star trek voyager

Sea slugs sea slugs sea slugs!!!

Sea slug Kocho sisters!!

Shinobu & Kanae are cyerce nigricans

Kanao is cyerce elegans

#imagine taking a starfish and just attaching it to your head #kny #demon slayer #SS Anne (Sea Slug au)#shinobu kocho #kanao tsuyuri #kanae kocho #octo’s art #I wanted to make Kanae & Shinobu a pinkish/purplish gray respectively #but I’m not as skilled in mixing colors of alcohol markers (u gotta like..rub the marker tips together & then color but jfjdmdk)#I’ll work on it :D #when Im able to make them digitally their colors may change so think of this as a beta #except Kanao I really love how she turned out she’s very pretty <3 #also I should mention the frills(?) on the chests. young/immature slugs no matter their gender will have them covering their chest #they shrink as you mature though which is why Kanae doesn’t have any covering her #and why Shinobu’s only partially cover it—she’s not as young as Kanao but not as old as Kanae #they don’t think of each other as naked though #might redraw them later for funsies #might draw very berry sour brite crawler giyuu too

Is there a way to fan away my "brain fog"? 😭

#One of my brother's came down and gave me his cold! :'D #I love him and I'm happy to see him but AAAAAAA #I was really looking forward to writing this weekend but NOOOOOOOOOO #I already have chronic pain! I don't need this too >:(#...#we watched Raya since he hasn't seen it.#The movie is “fine”. But I fucking hate the baby. It's probably no more than a year old. How tf does it have that much motor skill?!#Ice Age baby may be ugly and over 6ft tall but at least it behaves like a baby! Idk why it bugs me so much but I get so mad #That isn't a baby. That's some sort of changeling pretending to be a baby. They don't have object permanence yet she did?!#This is so stupid.#I have a fever. let me be pissed about somethign dubm!#Mad rambles

daily 10.26.22: roughly inspired by this obkk fanart

#kakaobi #obikaka #ok let's clarify a few things (bc i am tired ! and i fear the visual storytelling is a bit lacking bc i lost patience!)#this is an au post 4th war where obt survived but didn't switch sides #and the rest of konoha thinks obt was executed post-trial. but guess what? the rokudaime secretly intervened... and then hid obt away #the old hatake compound is thought to be abandoned/haunted #so kks has used it in conjunction with the most powerful fuuinjutsu he knows to keep obt imprisoned #fun side note: the central piece of those seals is the kanji for love :D #ok but fuuinjutsu is not enough to ensure obt stays locked up. not w obts sharingan-- and kks has no medical skills to replace them #and he can't let anyone find out obt is still alive #so yes those are electricity burn scars you're seeing around obitos eyes and yes he is now blind.#scribbles

contributing to seelie sized foul legacy brain rots ehe~ yknow how seelies lead you to treasure? well imagine lil moth boy doing that as well because he wants to join in on your adventures! except not quite... see instead of leading you directly to the treasure, he takes you (who is clueless and quite curious where he's trying to go) to hilichurl camps 🤣 and you realize "oh wait what?? i'm in a hilichurl camp?? oh sh-" and you just frantically try and beat the mobs (he contributes to the fights as well and he's having the time of his life fighting alongside you)

And only after that does little baby moth present the loot to their camp as the treasure! and he just looks so proud like 'tada~ i got you something!' and you're looking at him exasperated but fond. i mean hey, he technically did lead you to treasure, and also you noticed during the fight he made sure to try and protect you as well <3 (and when you two continue adventuring he keeps doing it, just leading you to hilichurl camps cause he wants you to have some treasure to take home from your adventures! 🤣)

oh my moon and stars YES i love that so much!!!!

ohoh when you finally finish beating up the monsters and hilichurls and collapse to the ground because you're not a fighter, that's when seelie Foul Legacy chirps and tugs earnestly at your hand, trying to get you to rise to your feet because the treasure's right there!!! you just don't see it!! but you shake your head, "let me rest for a bit", and Foul Legacy suddenly remembers that not everyone is as strong as he and Childe were when fighting

a few moments pass with you laying on the ground, exhausted and drinking up the sunlight, and then there's a weight on your chest and the sensation of little claws gently patting your face. you open your eyes and Foul Legacy does a midair twirl of relief, letting out guilty trills as an apology. he pushes something towards you- the treasure he tried to lead you to- and your look of confusion changes to a humorous smile as you slip the loot into your bag and instead gather up Foul Legacy in your hands. when you're met with confused, bloopy chirps you simply kiss him delicately on the head and give him the gentlest hug you can manage. he was trying to protect you, wasn't he? yes, you're tired, but you're still uninjured and in one piece, and it's thanks to him, your little seelie-sized hero <3 Foul Legacy chitters in joy and smushes himself into the crook of your neck, purring like a little motor before returning to his normal spot hovering by your head, looking much happier than before <33

needless to say Childe opens the door to a very tired but cheerful you, several new pieces of treasure, and a happily chirping Foul Legacy floating beside you

#genshin impact #childe #tartaglia #foul legacy #foul legacy childe #genshin tartagalia #genshin childe #genshin tartaglia #chit chat #anon #you eventually get used to it but still follow seelie legacy to humor him!!#he always looks so happy when he presents you with the treasure <33 #plus it helps you fighting skills!!#sometimes childe will come with you and you all have a grand old time fighting together!!!#foul legacy: *feeling guilty because he led you into a monster camp* :(#you: my little hero <33 #foul legacy: :D!!!#short scenario #other's stuff

tumbles into your inbox HI WELCOME TO THE FFXIV FANDOM

i love lelesu's design, there's so much depth already in the summary in your pinned (the part about her glasses breaking??? and her eye?? had my jaw on the floor. phenomenal); when she learned aethersight with that eye, did she have a teacher? yshtola perhaps? or was she self-taught

hiiiii thank you!! it's like, top tier brainrot, i'm a bit embarrassed about how quickly it turned into a hyperfixation. i struggled a bit through ARR but the moment i got to HW it was all over, lol. i've been sitting here in clown makeup ever since

that's a really good question!! so the point where i diverge from canon a bit for her is that on Ultima Thule, i have her convince Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus to stay with her and try to learn to love the world as it is and the future that could be, because she recovered her memories of her first life properly there and [gestures] it's a whole thing. it's a bit self-indulgent but i got very attached to the characters and i also find healing arcs to be very cathartic so i decided i was, in fact, going to sneak one in there. Emet-Selch gets to learn how to play nice with people again.

all that to say, she learns it properly from Hythlodaeus (who is excited to have something he can teach her)! i have fun little scene thoughts in my head of him working with her and Y'shtola to also help Y'shtola refine her sight and it wear less on her to use it (because even if the game seems to have dropped the thread about "she's burning her own aether to pretend she didn't go blind" bit i Still Remember It).

(honestly in general i just think Hyth and Y'shtola would get along TERRIFYINGLY well. same with G'raha. someone keep this man away from the nerds)

#asked and answered #ffxiv #oc: lelesu lesu #:D this was fun hehe #it's definitely a *bit* self taught at first - she sort of stumbles on the ability when sparring with aymeric while she's recovering #and trying to compensate for the loss of her sight on one side which makes her peripheral vision shitty #azem was capable of it - though not as strongly as hyth or emet - but that's an old instinct to try to use it #and one she stopped putting any stock in when she got the memories back. because like why would it matter #when she couldn't do it right?? it'd be like trying to rely on creation magic again #just because she *remembers* how to create doesn't mean she's any more capable of it than she was before she got her memories back #anyway the skill is a lot more rusty and difficult for her to use now than when she was an ancient. hence hyth helping her #i'm walking the line between lore-accurate and massively self-indulgent with this stuff but i DO NOT CARE (i care a little)
