So, I heard it was Holloweane Week?

It’s a bit late in the week but I wanted to draw something for it, and I liked this prompt.

The way I see it- their roles may have been swapped, but their dynamic? Exactly the same.

Her hands itched with the horrible lightness of each scattered piece, her feet ached as she walked and walked and walked to gather her father back together… And then the voice, the thread she had caught and clung to and used to haul herself out of the darkness.

they wrote that bit of Lost Child for me, personally

#the dragon prince #claudia #cw: gore #kradogsarts #this honest to god has 250+ layers in photoshop and i swear at least 100 of them are mud #i spent more time on the fucking mud than any other part of this #i tried SO hard okay be nice to me

You know I am surprise Sebek that is never jealous to anyone who is close to Yuu. It is a boys school and I can imagine some have crushes on her.

#jk jk it's a total tragedy for sebek if he ever loves the same person as the one malleus loves #i swear malleus just loves the company #or is he #he did give me a little heart throb at the masquerade but that's all just yet #i can't really imagine anyone else likes her #malleus draconia #because partly i really don't plan of shipping her in the first place #sebek was a total surprise development fhsdshdh #this question arose at the time she was being shoved to jack #i can see that jack is totally someone to be jealous at ha ha; he is a total hunk #but i feel like sebek see him as a solid trustable friend than a snatcher who would disrespect him #i did think of a scenario from how sebek is jealous of malleus drinking coffee with silver that goes like...#yuu talking to silver; sebek be like “WHAT WHY ARE U TALKING TO SILVER MORE”#and yuu be like “bcs silver whispers when he talks”#and stubborn as he is sebek be like “I CAN TALK IN WHISPER TOO”#and he sat there and tried so hard to whisper which pretty much end up as at the very least normal talking voice #and Sebek just “GRRR NGRHRHHRH!!!!!! YOU'LL SEE I'LL WHISPER PROPERLY ONE DAY!!!! AND U'LL HANG OOUT WITH ME MORE”#fjsdsdj #but i don't even know what would yuu talk with silver #i didn't even realize before that silver is actually in 2nd class #they look so same age #yuu be like - . - to everyone anyhow #she just keeps the guy act while brushing off the thought whether the others already know she is a girl or not #sebek zigvolt #twst yuu #twst mc #twisted wonderland #twst #fanart

Forgive me

lmaooo okay so this was supposed to be a small piece for @bamsara cause I was rereading Trod, and in chapter 7 (uh oh the late night yapping begins), Narinder makes a point to say (yell) that he tried to introduce the idea of resurrection because he believed it could truly help those around him but it was an idea he was chained for. And it really was idk visual for me that Narinder at some point went up to Shamura in hopes that they too would also see the benefits of this ritual... only to be shut down and through the course of time I can see him growing bitter and angry... Also I was listening to the Epic saga, and now here we are

#my art #cult of the lamb #cotl narinder #cotl toww #cotl shamura #cotl leshy #cotl kallamar #cotl heket #trod au #the rehabilitation of death #omg literally end me right now #shamura please forgive me i swear i tried so mf hard #well get em next time coach

1 : Soap never had any idea that woman wanted him carnally, he's not the most observant on that front (he never noticed Ghost flirting with him and thought his love was one-sided for the longest time, but tbf Ghost was also very discreet about it)

2 : He sewed the hat, eyepatch and hook himself, because he's the best uncle and then got distracted as he was wrapping it up, so now he's watching a tutorial on youtube about how to build a voice box. Honestly how hard could it be, he builds explosive devices as a hobby (listen, Price doesn't have to know)

3 : He is out to his family, but doesn't want his mum to know he has a boyfriend because he knows she'll insist on meeting him and welcoming him to the family and making a big deal out of this, and he knows that Ghost isn't ready for that.

4 : Christmas is obviously a very hard time for Ghost, but he is very very in love with Soap and some days still can't believe that it's mutual, but then his Johnny does something like that and his head gets quieter while he's melting a bit.

5 : For the people that didn't see my other post : the bird is a Caique parrot, and they're supposedly very energetic, a bit loud, medium sized, unintelligible, very friendly to what they consider their family, adventurous and danger prone, with an explosive personality and a hate of boredom, so basically the adhd bird.

#cod mw2 #john soap mactavish #simon ghost riley #soapghost #ghostsoap #ghost is hard edges and sharp knives but simon is babygirl #i tried my best to make soap's sister look as much like soap as possible #as someone whose siblings look nothing like them i find it hilarious i have no idea why i swear i have the weirdest sense of humour #hc that simon's very first wait no second actually bc i feel like the first special interest for every child with autism is dinosaurs #but wait plot twist birds are dinosaurs so still hc that simon's first (or second if you want) special interest was birds #and he still loves them very much and both soap and his sister have adhd and his sister has a reoccurring hyperfixation on birds #and soap thinks ghost and his sister could get along very easily and is waiting very impatiently for the day ghost is ready and he can #introduce him to his family #but also ghost is very wary of families and especially since there's a young child because he's scared that he'll bring them death like he #feels he did to his own family #i initially wanted to colour it but then i wondered why my brain was working against me and very quickly decided that colouring all that #would be a nightmare and that i already hate colouring so why would i want to torture myself #anyway pls be nice with me i've given all i had to make this lmao

You know, something something Arthur desperately wanted to see the good in magic at any opportunity he was given.

When Gwen was first accused, when he first met Morgause, when he wanted to save Uther using magic, when he saved the woman from being burnt in that small village, when he was given a choice by the Disir, when he was determined to save Gwen from Morgana's dark magic...

(Honourable mentions include when he saved Mordred and argued with Uther about the Druids being peaceful (they are magic adjacent after all) - and well, given the second honourable mention being his remorse for the raid on the Druid camp when he was young, it's understandable that it comes from some sort of trauma. And of course, the result of that remorse was the promise that he would do everything to prevent it ever happening again, and that he would treat the Druids with respect. Hell, even with Kara he was respectful, even though she committed actual literal treason in the form of an attempted assassination of Camelot's king)

Of course, at every opportunity, Arthur's view that there is good in magic, that not all sorcerers are evil, that perhaps his father was wrong, or that his father had lied, ends up being proven wrong, at least in his eyes.

Time and time again Arthur is shown to consider magic as a more neutral force, like almost as if he's desperate for it to be true. It isn't even necessarily his fault that the opinions about magic and sorcerers that Uther taught him becomes reinforced once again.

The fact that he can even think critically about magic at all is a miracle alone. Like this man who has only ever known sorcerers to use magic for evil purposes, to destroy Camelot, attempt to assassinate him, attempt to assassinate his father, to harm those he cares about - and yet he still he still falls back on, what if magic can be good, what if we're wrong, what if, what if, what if--

And it's only when magic itself reveals himself to Arthur that he can finally see that yes, magic can be good.

Because if Merlin is good, if Merlin is the same person even with magic, then magic is neutral, and sorcerers aren't inherently evil.

Arthur was always going to accept magic, that's the thing, that's hardcoded into his character, he just needed the right push, and that push was always going to be Merlin.

Because as Arthur dies in Merlin's arms, blanketed by magic itself, he accepts that even with all of Merlin's magic, his life cannot be saved, magic cannot save him.

But he accepts it, and accepts Merlin, and he dies having brought about all that Merlin ever dreamt of, truly dreamt of, that Arthur would see him for him, and accept him and his magic. And more than that, what Arthur truly ends up doing is embracing it.

Arthur for whatever reason, perhaps because he was born of magic, perhaps because his soulmate is magic itself, perhaps because he has a heart of gold, wanted to see the good in magic at any given opportunity that presented itself, even though with all that Uther taught him, he never should have seen it that way.

It's just, it's so fascinating, and it's so heartbreaking that when he finally knew, he died. But he'll return, and I'm sure then he can build something better with Merlin, really bring magic back to a time that needs it :)

#bbc merlin #merlin #arthur pendragon #merthur #i tried so hard to make this into a short post #but essay mode activated and i tried to stop it i swear :P #i try not to make every post about Arthur a straight up character study but i fail every time #just be glad this post is this short #i had to stop myself about halfway through from going to far into analysis mode #anyway i was thinking about writing this while trying to sleep last night #and i just had to get it down i love Arthur so much and i feel like he deserves more credit for thinking so critically despite there being #no evidence or reason for him to ever do that with magic #i love him the man fascinates me #and I really just wanna wrap him in a blanket - especially as like idk once he returns and finally gets to process all that he did #believing in his father's lies

Can you drawing not sam sleep on ultra Magnus alt mode, mad Magnus is like no want wake sam up so Magnus just go back to base with alt mode and sam still sleep on him then meet hot rod, he confuse why sam on Magnus and Magnus say he didn't want wake sam up

HotRod on the radio: PAPA MAG INCOMING WITH MINI PAY-

Ultra Magnus: HotRod you will get off this frequency. You will turn around. And you will never tell anyone.

Later a new protocol would be informed that you MUST tell or inform some superior base staff member that if you have to roll out with Sam. Or you can ask if a fork lift manoeuvre can be made to move the minibot

The mini payload

A/N: Haha caregiver!Venture make dopamine go bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so I made some head canons in between working on requests again because cope. I also started this at 2:00 AM and finished it at 7:00 AM wwweeeeeeeeee!!! *spins around* I am so tired!!! My wrists and fingers hurt!!! Send help!!!

Premise: GN!Reader keeps their small side a secret– but apparently not very well.

Warnings: No warnings! Just fluff! *twenty confetti cannons all explode at once*

✎ᝰ Opening up about something that's private is hard.

✎ᝰ Opening up about something that's stigmatized is even worse.

✎ᝰ It wasn't something that you particularly enjoyed talking about, either.

✎ᝰ 'Oh, I'm shopping for my niece/nephew. I'm too old for toys... duh!'

✎ᝰ 'Lots of adults color, is it really that weird?'

✎ᝰ 'Even adults watch Bluey, it's just a cute show!'

✎ᝰ People still gave you looks– but it's not a lie. Whenever life was giving you a hard time, sometimes you colored.

✎ᝰ Other times you blew bubbles and watched them drift in the wind like dandelions.

✎ᝰ Sometimes you make a little hot cocoa in a cute mug and rewatch Bluey all the way through.

✎ᝰ Everything you did now was so much better than the destructive habits you had back then.

✎ᝰ You had crawled tooth and nail out of hell and you had no plans on going back anytime soon. Or ever again.

✎ᝰ And yet, you felt embarrassed whenever someone asked you about it.

✎ᝰ You were no stranger to being misunderstood and misinterpreted.

✎ᝰ So when your beloved walks in the middle of your Bluey marathon, you were low key terrified.

✎ᝰ "Uh, I can explain–" You reach for the remote from underneath your blanket.

✎ᝰ "Oh! Nice! I love Bluey!" They flop down on the couch beside you.

✎ᝰ Bullet dodged, for now.

✎ᝰ "What made you wanna watch Bluey?" They ask.

✎ᝰ You tense up again, casting your gaze away from them.

✎ᝰ "No real reason." You reply. You really couldn't think of a better excuse.

✎ᝰ They softly chuckle at your response. "That's why I call you bebé~!"

✎ᝰ You can feel your heart leap in your chest, partially out of nervousness and partially out of joy.

✎ᝰ They reach over to nuzzle your face, rubbing your noses together to give you bunny kisses.

✎ᝰ "You're just so cute!" They begin to pepper kisses to your face. "Mi conejo~!"

✎ᝰ They reach to move your stuffie so they could cuddle up to you.

✎ᝰ "Wait–" You involuntarily take it back out of panic. "I need him–"

✎ᝰ "Him...?" They question.

✎ᝰ "Never mind." You try to backtrack and save yourself, feeling shame burn a light shade of pink onto your face.

✎ᝰ "Does he have a name?" They play along.

✎ᝰ You're quiet for a moment. You realized never named your fluffy friend when you bought him.

✎ᝰ "I never gave him one." You explain. "I guess I didn't think about it."

✎ᝰ "Hmm. How about Pompón, because he's nice and soft! Señor Pompón!"

✎ᝰ You hold Señor Pompón close to your chest before nestling into his fur.

✎ᝰ "Does Señor Pompón mind if I cuddle with you?" They ask.

✎ᝰ "Of course not!"

✎ᝰ Their arms wrap around you, making sure to include your stuffie in their embrace.

✎ᝰ You instantly melt into their touch before placing your head on their chest for comfort.

✎ᝰ Their hand softly rubs your back and they place a kiss on top of your head.

✎ᝰ "Mi amorcito..." Their voice is gentle like milk and honey.

✎ᝰ "... are you feeling small?" They ask.

✎ᝰ All the color drains from your face and you feel your heart leap into your throat.

✎ᝰ "N-no!" Your voice squeaks in horror. "Why would you think that?"

✎ᝰ They grin. "I had some suspicions."

✎ᝰ If '?!?!?!?!?!?!' made a noise, then that's definitely the one you made.

✎ᝰ "Mi conejo, you don't have to hide yourself from me. It's okay. I'm happy that you're happy. That's all that matters to me– okay?"

✎ᝰ You blink anxious tears from your eyes.

✎ᝰ "I love you when you're big, and I love you when you're small. It makes no difference to me as long as you feel safe."

✎ᝰ You look up at your beloved with starry doe eyes. You could not believe what you were hearing.

✎ᝰ "I've seen you on your worst days. If being small makes you feel better, then be small, mi bebé. I won't judge you. I'll be here with you if you want me to be."

✎ᝰ You're dumbfounded, near speechless. "I– You–? Please stay–" You lean into their body and they hold you tight. "I–"

✎ᝰ "Shh. I'm right here." They reassure you with the same silky, smooth voice.

✎ᝰ You feel your heart start to soften with their words, moving your arms from around Señor Pompón and now returning the hug from your beloved instead.

✎ᝰ "Te amo, mi bebé!" They place more kisses to your bright pink face. "Cutie!"

✎ᝰ You lightly giggle from all the affection before you feel yourself running out of breath. All the fear you felt lessen with each laugh.

✎ᝰ "Mi bebé feliz~! Mi bebé feliz es tan mono~!"

✎ᝰ In between the laughter and kisses you feel tears dripping from your eyes– but not from sadness.

✎ᝰ They reach up to wipe your face dry with their sleeve.

✎ᝰ "Can we color later?" You wonder, eyes bright and filled with joy.

✎ᝰ They playfully ruffle your hair. "Of course, conejo. Will you color a picture for me?"

✎ᝰ You feel a fuzzy warmth filling your body from head to toe. "So! Many!" You exclaim. "All the pictures! For you!"

✎ᝰ "Oh? I don't think we have enough room on the fridge for all the pictures!" They point out.

✎ᝰ "Oh. Maybe just one for now then–" You start to reach for the drawers on the coffee table and pull out your coloring supplies.

✎ᝰ "Wow. You're already prepared." They watch as you get to work doodling with your crayons.

✎ᝰ "Coloring is serious business." You reply.

✎ᝰ You sketch yourself holding hands with your beloved.

✎ᝰ They watch as you carefully mark the blank sheet of paper with various shapes and colors, creating your masterpiece piece by piece.

✎ᝰ "You're so talented!" Their hand slowly strokes your fluffy hair as you color away with content. You feel a smile forming across your expression.

✎ᝰ You draw an arrow pointing to yourself and write your name in your favorite color.

✎ᝰ You draw a second arrow pointing to Sloan and write Nini in yellow, finishing it with a cutesy heart surrounding the letters.

✎ᝰ They reach down and place a kiss to your head. "I love it so much, conejo! Actually, can I keep this one with me?" They ask.

✎ᝰ "Of course." You look up at them with a look of pure felicity.

✎ᝰ "I promise I'll take good care of it!" They delicately fold it just enough to fit it inside of their wallet before placing it back into their pocket.

✎ᝰ "Now– can you color me a photo for the fridge?" They request.

✎ᝰ You don't reply. You simply look back down, grab your crayons, and get back to work.
