Life

tw: violence, blood, gore, monster

Sylvia De La Rue had taken care to stick to the back roads. Knowing the main ones would be targeted more heavily during this season. But there was hardly anyone who didn't know the face of the Light of Kaamos. Even her steed caught attention easily. So it wasn't too surprising that she could vaguely hear the clinking of metal in the surrounding woods. The rustling of leaves despite the absence of wind.

Bandits most likely. Looking for whatever loot the woman favored by the royal family no doubt carried.

She sped up. The sound of Dellos' hooves drowned out any others in her surroundings, but she knew they were following. Especially as a crossbow bolt flew past her shoulder. But it didn't matter. She only had a bit more until she made it.

To the Whispering Wood. To the territory of the Witch.

Slowly, the surrounding trees turn paler. The air grows quieter. The shadows start to seem odd. Almost alive. Sylvia began to hear the crunch of snow under hoof. The shouts of men telling her to stop. The quiet click of crossbows firing.

Then a single raven.

Upon hearing the bird, Sylvie called Dellos to stop. Turning the alicorn around to finally get a look at her pursuers. Only a handful of men on horseback. Told her to hand over any valuables. Sylvie couldn't quite place their accents, but they clearly weren't from around here. If the fact they'd ventured this deep into the forest wasn't proof enough of that.

She wasn't paying too much attention to them. Listening instead for something else. Footsteps. Coming from behind.

The men tried to get closer but their horses refused to move. Smart horses. Prompting them to dismount and approach on foot.

Crunch!

There was a reason people generally avoided the Whispering Wood.

There were already stories of the nightmares and evil lurking within. Long before the Witch of the Morii resided in its castle. With every soft crunch of snow under foot, the ground seemed to tremble. And as they became stronger, harder to ignore, there was a growing pressure in the air. The shadows behind Sylvia began to shift and grow. Until a hulking mass of dark, scarred flesh emerged from the dark. A massive, twisting beast lumbered forth on trunk-like crooked legs. Large, pale teeth set in a jaw that housed a growl that seemed to echo inside its own throat.

And walking by its side, donning her cloak of raven feathers...

The Witch of the Morii.

She gave the men no time. A gentle flick of her wrist brought forth a whip=like vine of thorns/ Ripping through the snow as well as the arm of the closest one. The severed appendage hit the snow with a wet thud. His comrades registered it quicker than he did. Already clambering onto their horses as he locked eyes with Alys. Paralyzed by those cat-like pupils, narrowed into slits.

Those green gold eyes seemed to glow. Never leaving him as the witch raised her hand to stroke the jaw of the monstrosity behind her. Whispering sweetly to it, "Go play~"

Despite its size, the creature was surprisingly quick. Bounding after the men with the energy of a new pup.

Once they were out of view, their screams reduced to distant whispers, those cold eyes were now on Sylvia.

"Alys~!"

"Sylvie~"

Sylvia pulled the the Witch into a tight hug before the latter escorted her to toe castle deeper in. As the two exchanged small talk along the way, she made a note to visit her old friend more often. Despite how difficult it was for others to read Alys' face, there was no denying how happy she was to see her childhood friend again.

Evident by the blooms that continued to crawl up the trees immediately surrounding their path despite the harsh snowy climate.

#violence tw #gore tw #monsters tw #{These Secrets We Keep} drabbles #{The Blessings}#Alys blessing of life #the Witch of the Morii #and well let's be real #she 100% earned that evil witch rep #but we also have childhood bff Sylvie #who masquerades as the Blessing of Life #because Alys did NOT want all that attention at all #threatened to run away if so

Back at it again with my Danny is mom coded au’s, but this time it’s because of Clockwork that he suddenly has a whole ass teenage kid.

Clockwork had been bored or maybe he was playing a game against an opponent, or even lost a bet, whatever it was, he stepped in right as Jason was searching for his biological mother.

The DNA that would have registered itself as one Sheila Haywood, confirming Jason’s mother, glitched a terrible green across the screens of the batcomputer.

In those few moments of chaos Jason’s heart beat rapidly as he tried to figure out why the computer wasn’t working, wondering if his only chance to find his mom — his blood mom — would never find success.

Then as suddenly as things went wrong the DNA settled and pinged.

Jason watched, his chest tight, as one Danny C. Works, formerly Danny Fenton appeared onto the big screen.

Danny looked a lot like Jason, short cut black hair more straight than the subtle curls of Jason’s own; deep blue eyes, tired in a way that spoke of long days and nights, but with a warm happiness that made the familiar smile — the one Jason would see on himself every time he looked into the mirror — even more striking.

Jason didn’t linger too long on the male identifying gender, nor the fact his mom leaned more towards a masculine name or clothing.

There were plenty of male to female, and female to male leaning individuals that lived in Crime Alley. He had seen it enough to not even bat an eye at it, even now. After all, in Gotham you minded your business least you find yourself in business you can’t leave.

On a different monitor information of Danny C. Works piled for Jason to quickly browse through.

Danny was a senior engineer, no intimate relationships, and with no close connections to family outside of the tentative calls from Jasmine Fenton.

Danny was estranged from Jack and Madeline Fenton, a falling out that had occurred just a little before Danny’s high school graduation. If Jason calculated it correctly that would have been — around the season Jason himself would have been born.

Okay, so no grandparents then but I might have a maybe aunt. Jason scrolled further and stilled.

Twin toddlers: Dante and Danielle Works.

Jason had baby siblings.

He doesn’t let the sting of younger siblings consume him, doesn’t allow the whispering thoughts of why he had been given up when his younger siblings had been kept and so very obviously loved.

Jason took deep breathes, he didn’t have time to linger here. He had a family to get to, and a family he would get to.

It took almost all night to reach, the starlight night sky slowly and surely fading into cloudy wine as the sun rose, but Jason made it.

And when the door opened to his hesitant but firm knock, Jason was unable to speak. His mom — dad, maybe? Did they want to be mom or dad? — stood in the doorway, brows furrowed in confusion.

It was when Danny spoke his vigilante name did Jason only just realize that he was still dressed to the nine’s in his Robin costume.

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dc x dp #dcxdp #danny phantom #danny fenton #dp x dc crossover #dp x dc prompt #jason todd #Danny is mom to two de aged terrors #and will now be a mom to his newest terror #Dan and Ellie de aged due to circumstances when Danny left Amity Park #Dan and Ellie didn’t form until recently from their cores #he had run away with the two and didnt have any connections to other family or friends until Jazz finally tracked him down #but he threatened to go no contact again should she try and push him to return to Amity and speak to their parents #Jazz understands and doesn’t want to lose her baby brother again #clockwork meddled for whatever reason and now Danny is Jason’s mom au #Danny is going to mother that child so hard #yes he is an adult #Jason WILL be loved >:(#Jason is also going to be the best big brother #Dan and Ellie love their mom and big brother #they will bite #Jason thinks Danny is ftm #Danny is biologically male but is more built like Maddie #misunderstandings of gender #and further misunderstandings on how Jason and his two siblings were conceived #Vlad Masters being a theatrical creep #Jason will fist fight old men #he will also fist fight his grandparents

Carracosta and Dalia, 13 (roleswapped)?

became way too attached to this au lol

#pokemon #pkmnart #pkmn #pmd #pokemon mystery dungeon #pokemon super mystery dungeon #psmd #pmd ocs #seedot #tirtouga #simipour #braixen #oc: zaya #grovyle #oc: dalia #my gf and i were discussing how different character roles would be swapped and i kinda figured ampharos/simipour would be interesting #though tbh i don't think the bad at directions gag works as well with ampharos being a principal that doesn't really go anywhere #i think simipour is funny either way because whether he's the principal of a school or leader of a well-respected organization #he's always stoned off his ass #and we thought about having the school kids replace the beheeyem. which was funny because my gf imagined them evolved. which makes sense if #you want them to be threatening. but i was imagining them still in their base forms and seedot being scared shitless and having to run away #from a shelmet and a goomy at the beginning #anyway you will NOT comment on how awkward tirtouga's face looks. i am aware. i am never drawing that thang again #also realizing now that this was less about dalia and carracosta in particular and moreso just general roleswapping stuff so. sorry

It’s easy for people to criticize protectors for how we react to perceived threats —

Some of us get defensive, some of us get loud, or completely freeze up, or run for safety, or suddenly collapse and can’t move, or become mute, or have extreme fawn reactions … and to the outside, it seems over the top.

Or maybe you think it’s not fair that we saw you as a threat because you got angry and yelled. Maybe you think it’s childish that we sprinted out of the house or scary that we kicked into “fight” mode.

We had to identify threats fast. We had to do what it took to survive. To protect our system and our physical body and mind.

And we can and should learn to react more proportionally. But our instincts aren’t ridiculous or made to victimize you. They made sense in the traumatic environment that created us. They’re the only reason we’re still here now.

We still fall back on that because it worked and we survived.

Me, when Sebastian joins my party for the first time: Okay, this time I'm not going to forget about you, Sebastian. I'm going to make an effort to use you a lot this playthrough so I can better understand you.

Also me, immediately forgetting about Sebastian while finishing Act 2 and making it halfway through Act 3 before I finally notice his Faith quest: ......................Oh. Right. My bad.

#da2 #dragon age 2 #sebastian vael #listen in my defense..........i don't like bringing sebastian anywhere sksksks #okay look i seriously tried but every time i bring him somewhere i always think man i wish i had brought someone else #and also i do just forget about him! i finally added him to my party at one point and he had 24 points to spend...#that's how long i neglected him after i promised myself i was gonna use him more and then i didn't #it's not that i don't like sebastian as a character though i do tend to side eye him A LOT... it's just that i like everyone else more #even aveline like i'd take aveline over sebastian any day and that's saying something... or is it? i have a lot of feelings about aveline #whereas my feelings about sebastian could maybe fill a thimble...it doesn't help that in my canon run as a mage hawke #i romance anders and well... sebastian wants me to kill anders and my hawke is like 'do i approve of blowing up the chantry? complicated.'#'am i breaking up with anders for this? absolutely. do i still love him? mmhmmm. am i going to kill him sebby? i'd sooner set varric aflame #then sebastian threatens to bring an army to kirkwall and leaves so i can't say i have the greatest opinion on him #even the time where i did kill anders and he stayed in my party he was just... there #and then he glitched out and started t posing while asking if ed ever found out what anders wanted to do in the chantry so..... yeah #but even this playthrough where i'm playing as a lady warrior with a different personality and everything... i'd just rather use anyone els #also keep him away from bethany i do not approve sksksks she's too good for him #i want to understand and see the different angles of him like with the other companions but i've yet to convince myself to do it #also sebastian romancers out there can you like... explain? genuinely can you explain the appeal? i'm curious #because of all the love interests in da2 i look at sebastian and you'd think i'd maybe be more interested? but it's like...#i know about the chaste marriage and everything like that's fine i don't need sex to be a thing in the relationship but it feels less like #an asexual romance and more like... y'know... being with a priest and i guess that's just not one of my kinks? sksksks #i guess there's also the prince angle but i romanced alistair in dao and kept him a grey warden i don't really care about royalty power #and i don't have issues with him being a part of the chantry [well i do but yknow what i mean] since i romanced cullen in dai #and his whole deal with the chantry and magic and shit makes his romance interesting to me but sebastian is just.... a bit too much i think #i don't know i'd like to understand because i really don't but i also keep forgetting about him

after talking it over, clem and charlie are both on the same page that they don’t want any more children. between marnie, pets, the farm animals and crops, life is already pretty busy. and with marnie having no desire for siblings between her animals, hobbies, and friends to keep her company, they feel quite secure in their decision ❤️

#oh did u think this was gonna be a trying for number 2 announcement?#tricked ya ;)#clem was an only child and charlie just had a twin sister #so they're used to small family dynamics #bc i cannot handle two kids on this hectic ass farm #it requires so much to not have the plants a rotting mess and the animals threatening to run away #and i also dont have the attention span to follow two kids #bless those of u with big legacy families #ts4 edit #simblr #sims 4 #ts4 gameplay #hart legacy #*clementine

anyway s2 will always have a place in my heart

#spn #unironically they were the blueprint #irreparable damage to my psyche #husband and wife who grew up under the thumb of a mercenary with nobody but each other for comfort and are committed to a life of murder #on the run from the law together with identities they wear and shed on a whim twisted up by grief over their upbringing #trailing blood everywhere they go deeply unpalatable to most people they stick around long enough to get to know #at the heart of a brewing war that threatens to rip them away from each other but the concept is unfathomable so everything else can burn #both of them fighting the seductive pull of the dark bc letting it consume them would be easier than living thru this shit #also ash and jo are there sometimes :3 #but i got so tired at the end of AHBL 2 when theyre having that convo abt dean's deal LMAO #like can both of u die together and leave the world alone already (my brain flitted thru 8 consecutive seasons of melodrama and the #100+ deaths therein)#tag vomit

WIP WEDNESDAY

Hi besties I lost track of time and uhhh long story short here's your wip Wednesday on a Thursday <3333 Editing is still happening - I want to get this out into the world asap!!

~~~~~~

“Fine, I’ll try it. But you have to teach me how to do it the right way.” Marcia leaned back, watching the minute changes in Anetra’s expression. Marcia had a fleeting impulse to kiss her but she brushed it aside as quickly as it came.

“Alright, you’re the boss. Just watch me.” Marcia preened a little. She liked the sound of that. The boss.

Anetra brought the pipe to her lips, eyes on Marcia as she gestured at the way she was holding the pipe. Marcia tried her best to pay attention, to figure out what to do without making a fool of herself, but she kept getting distracted by Anetra’s hands, missing whatever instructions Anetra was telling her. The way her finger pressed delicately against the small hole on the side of the pipe; the short, bitten-off nails; the easy, practiced way she held it.

She watched Anetra take a short breath and hold it for a moment before blowing a slow, lazy cloud of silver-blue smoke out the window. It was beautiful. Marcia still didn’t have the slightest idea how to do it herself but it was beautiful. Anetra held out the pipe to her and she hesitated, unsure what to do, and certain she was about to look like an idiot.

I love thinking that among all the Beifong siblings, despite all coming from like the richest family in the world Baatar is the only one with terminal rich man brain lol. Opal has been out in the world and is actually sympathetic to those less fortunate, Huan loves imagining himself as the starving, struggling artist, and Wing and Wei are just your sporty boys out here vibing meanwhile Baatar is like "Bitch do I look like I'd get out of bed for less than 100k??" and "Ugh, I can practically count the number of threads this coat has through my skin alone..", especially when he and Kuvira leave Zaofu and he just can't function without his rich man amenities LMAO and Kuvira just thinks it's hilarious like she's taking her silly rich boyfriend for a walk out in the real world and watching him jump at dirt on the ground like he's a cat that accidentally stepped into a mildly shallow puddle and just rockets into the air

#LoK Thoughts #Baatar Jr.#Kuvira #Baavira #[ do not use this post to be negative about Baatar btw #I say all this out of love and affection because I just think this aspect of him is so fucking funny #He's out here acting his life is being threatened by one mosquito that's ten feet away from him #he's not bringing running water to towns out of some sense of altruism #he's doing it because he refuses to go anywhere that doesn't have it #he's not about to get cryptosporidiosis or giardiasis for the sake of freedom hello??#I cannot stand him I love him so much lol ]

Some of yall deeply underestimate how much some cis men are threatened by trans men and our masculinity. How theres so many cis dudes out there that want to rape us, thinking that will make us detransition. How many incels out there are mad at us for betraying womanhood and not sucking their dick. How much they want to force us to detransition, how much they want to kill us and force us into hiding which, to me, minus well be killing us since theyre smothering who we are for the sake of a status quo. We shake their fundamental understanding of the world. Its one thing for a GIRL to be a tomboy to them. They think its cute, like a baby pretending to be an adult. Its a whole other thing for someone percieved as a woman to try to actually be a man to them. They think thw fact we have the gal to assume we can escape their grasp, to escape the kitchen or whatever tf, means we're disrespecting them and trying to "destroy" them, rather than what it really is, us trying to be independent. We're the exact thing these types of cis men hate. Sometimes they tolerate (emphasis here bc im not saying they accept yall. Dont twist my words)trans women bc they fetishize them but they want to completely eradicate us becayse we threaten the patriarchy by virtue of deciding we dont need a man to take care of us, we want to be the man that takes care of ourselves.

#and bc ik how some of yall are on this site and how uncharitable you are let me be clear: just because they TOLERATE trans women/fems #sometimes. doesnt mean i think they actually respect you or see you as you. im not abot to say you somehow have it easier. they want to use #you and then dump your body somewhere. im well aware of that. but they *also* want to entirely entrap us and our identities and keep us #smothered with no escape. its why were seeing child marriage laws. its why were seeing anti abortion laws. its why we're seeing rights #stripped away from ppl wrongly percieved as women becayse theyre so threatened by us and how we think we can be on our own #that they have to try more extreme measures ro control us our bodies and self expression. its why candace owens goes on saying #'does women voting actually do any good for anyone??'#and no. entrapment isnt them somehow caring about us mlre than you. thats their alternative to killing us but its not an alternative bc it #fundamentally strips us of our rights and autonomy. and also. entrapping us and forcing us out of our gender. like i said. minus well be #killing us. its not likely we'll just get to run away free from these men if they get this type of power. its more likely they kill us for #even daring to betray them their values and words.#so how tf is anyone more privileged in this situation? in trans spaces? can we really fucking say someone has it worse rn.#is it really worth it to try to divide and weigh who has it worse. bc they want both os us dead for being who we are.#and its not like they dont offer yall an out to. its just their out is ALSO basically killing yourself bc they want you to conform to #cishet white manhood.#also it goes both ways. cis women are like this towards trans women. its the proximity effect.#where you get more upset with different people who are also more like you than other ppl #the difference i'd argue though is cis men- at least the ones in power- have more of an ability to remove us than cis women #like its easier for them to do.

This blog is AO3-positive

Friendly reminder:

If you think AO3 is awful and people donating need to die, go to hell, etc. - get the fuck off my Tumblr.

If you think AO3 is doing something with whatever "extra money" you think they have - get the fuck off my Tumblr.

If you think you need to "pay content creators directly" instead of supporting AO3 - get the fuck off my Tumblr.

AO3 exists for a reason. It's an ARCHIVE. It's not here for your political agenda. It's not here to alleviate your icky feelings. It's not here to only host you-approved content. It is here as an ARCHIVE. It is here as a NON-PROFIT. It does not allow things that are illegal in the US. It does not host CP. It hosts words. If you find any actual CP, not written words, please fucking report it.

Fanfic writers are not "content creators". We do not create "content" for you to consume. We do not (or at least legally cannot) make money off of our writing. We cannot use someone else's IP that is not in the public domain to make money. That is illegal. We also do not create things necessarily for your consumption. This is not a capitalist creator/consumer place.

You know what AO3 does with any money that isn't needed to cover their current bills? They use it to invest in their own infrastructure, to pay for professionals to come fix things or build new things, to pay for the lawyers' time when it's needed to defend YOUR constitutional right (according to the US constitution, since it's based in the US) to free speech. They don't make profit off this. No one is getting bonuses, or perks, or (in 99.9% of cases; the .01% have pretty much been already listed above) even a salary/paycheck!

You wanna go back to the bad old days? Fine, stay off AO3. You want to make your own archive where you can enforce your own rules? Feel free. You can even use AO3's existing code, as it's open-source and available to all! You want to make money off of your fanfic? Good fucking luck with that, I hope you can afford lawyers. Or don't mind filing off the serial numbers to publish it as original fic. Because no one noticed that Twilight was bad Harry Potter fic, that 50 Shades was bad Twilight fic, that the Mortal Instruments series was bad Harry Potter fic. Nope, absolutely no one.

#I would pin this if I could have more than one pinned post #AO3 #fanfic #fandom #fandom creators aren't your content cows #WERE YOU THERE IN THE BAD DAYS?#NO?#THEN FUCK OFF #I remember being terrified of Anne Rice and her vindictive lawyers.#I remember being scared of Anne McCaffrey's lawyers #I remember the days when we took pains to keep fandom away from the showrunners and show writers #and now you little shits think you're entitled to make a profit off of fanfic?#WE WERE THREATENED WITH OUR VERY LIVELIHOODS FOR WRITING FREE FIC #AR's lawyers literally sought to destroy fic writers' lives #they drove small businesses into the ground #they harassed fic writers until they sometimes LITERALLY had to go into hiding #so fuck you #take your ball and make your own archive #and you can run it however you fucking want
