I'm seeing this discourse re: people going on hiatus/leaving their blogs and I'm just like yo that's not the actual problem
At the end of the day, fandom is never owned by a select group of people, or a specific trend (flashbacks to Cassandra Claire holding court at the harry potter cons back in the day and on LJ specifically). Tumblr, for what it is worth, is not the center of the fandom universe. And it can be very, very lonely when you don't write the 'popular thing' in your fandom sphere, or are on the popular team. I know my team black friends feel pretty damn lonely here a lot of times.
There's fear. There's jealousy. People are, of course, human and these are all normal and valid emotions. What's not okay is going into people's inboxes on anon and getting weird about it, or hate reading people's fic and making a joke/game out of it. Just stick in your lane. You don't have to be friends with everyone - it is, in fact, impossible to have an actual friendship with 100 people, let alone 20 people. But also we are a community, and we all need to do our part. You don't have to reblog everything. You aren't a hub for that content.
But reblogging what you do like? That should be a no brainer. Likes are nice, but on tumblr, they don't do anything. Just reblog the stuff you like. Also try give things a chance. Reblog things you think someone else might like. For example, I don't really care about Daemon, but my bestie does, so when I see things I think she'll like, I do try to reblog them! (like the Daemon and Laena cut scene that just released).
Our blogs aren't just for us, they are also about the people we care about too. At least, that's the tumblr world I grew up in, where people reblog things and tag our friends in it going 'HEY! relevant to your interests!'
Think of tumblr as going through the biggest thrift store you've ever seen and you find this... IDK cat statue with bat wings and you don't care about it but you yell to your friend in the next aisle about it so they can see it. You hold it up like simba to show!
Also, what the fuck, don't bug people about not reblogging your stuff or walking into their DMs to ask them to reblog things that's weird don't do that.
tl;dr, it's not even about reblogging everything, it's actually about just... reblogging stuff you like and this whole thing, imo, isn't about burn out, it's about the weird gatekeeping stuff I see happening to people. Pockets of people in fandom have made it an overall unwelcoming place and make people feel like they need to become content farms/write only specific things instead of extending their creative legs to write what they are truly excited about.

Watching Last Life- session 8
Part 3
Scott: Ok ... Grian?
Grian: Yeah yeah I'm fine, let's do this.
Scott: Ok then...
~~~~~
Martyn: Last Life Scar is just desperate at this point isn't he.
Grian: He lives on top of a mountain with his llama and is surrounded by enemies and everything he trap he tried to make didn't work like he intended, that is a really stressful situation you know?.
Pearl: He is despised by everyone the one ally he had left him almost immediately and he is living alone in a tower and everyone talks badly about him behind his back, how well do you think you would have taken that?
Scar: Everyone ignored his trades! Called his wares garbage! And he found himself alone without friendships or alliances! He became the villain of the server! Can you imagine being that?
Scott: You three are really simpathyzing with my Scar here...
~~~~~
Grian: Tango set off his own trap? Well at least I'll have the confort that no matter how bad my traps in third Life were I never died to them.
Martyn: Yeah the problem is that no one ever died to your traps Grian.
Scott: WOW.
Martyn: What? I'm right.
Grian: ... Fuck you Martyn.
Scott: *chokes* Grian?!?
Scar: No, no, no Grian! I never expected such things from you... *shakes head slowly*
~~~~~
Grian: Tiny... Heinz? Thats...genius! If I see my Joel ever again I'm going to call him that.
Martyn: Last Life me is extremely smart actually.
Pearl: Big talk for someone whose last name is inthelittlewood. Do you know how many nicknames can come from that? Shortstick-
Scar: Tinywood!
Pearl: - Microlog, Petiteplank...Smallishtimber...
Scott: Ok this is enough, I think he gets the point.
Grian: ... InthelittleHeinz and Smallishtimber could be perfect for a roleswap universe...

(reblogs are more helpful than likes!)
You know one of the most interesting bits of Scar's Secret Life finale is how circular literally all of his trades end up being.
He gives Tango a heart - which he does end up destroying in the process of taking his final life. He tries to kill Skizz in an act of vengeance just as Skizz tries- but he offers the kill to Joel instead. His position with the Mounders gets more cemented with it, because Pearl's loyalty to them and him depends on how he treats her allies.
He trades TNT for an Ender Pearl with Cleo - the same ones he ends up using to end Etho's final life. The same TNT he gave Cleo circles back to Grian- who had all of their TNT- who uses it on Gem and makes one of the biggest game changing moves. Without that, Gem would have been a beast during the final three battle.
But before that, Grian tries to use the TNT on Scar. It fails, interestingly. I wonder why. (A traders' ware does not circle back to them- it only propogates further, creating profit for them.)
He may be allies with Bdubs- but he's also friendly with Scott. He may be offering Joel the kill on Skizz- but he trades goods with Etho and Cleo. In the end, it is for his own survival that he uses his charisma and skill.
This is when his trades stop being material- but rather an offer of alliance. Immaterial, invaluable at this stage of the game.
"Goodbye Mom" is testament to how his alliance is ultimately to himself. He cares about Bdubs, sure, but he's the favourite. And Cleo may have said that in jest- but he won't let that slide.
When it's down to the Gem and the Scotts vs the Mounders- both sides want him on their team. He just so happens to have better chances and better relationships with the Mounders. (The villain of the server, wanted on both sides? Oh, the irony.)
Just earlier that day, he teamed up with Scott to kill Bigb- how the tides change.
Now his role in helping the Mounders comes into play, because Pearl offers to sacrifice herself to him. He denies it. At this point, he's finally found someone to cement his trust in. ("I don't want to win through sacrifice," he says, as if that isn't exactly how he offered a win to another player, on a distant day. "We do this together," he says, an echo of something else from the desert.)
Gem dies. And this is finally when he turns on Pearl; all of his tit-for-tat trades, material or immaterial, coalescing here.
And he wins. He was never anything but Trader Scar, until the very end.

This is the first proper thing I've drawn in ages (and first are I think I've posted in over 5 years?) I just needed to draw the opening to Act 5 and my reaction to it.
Nothing has gripped me in such a way and forced me to finish an art piece like this in so fucking long. I see far too much of myself in him. I just want them to be ok after this is all over. STARS, this is just Asriel all over again isn't it. But WORSE!/pos
…I guess that could make this vent adjacent? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I also made a shitpost edit that I posted separately here.
There are so many things covered by each other and I just need to share and talk about them. Bonus details and rambles under the cut.
Siffrin's expression was like the first thing I drew and if it didn't turn out as good as it did I probably wouldn't have spent almost 10 days slowly adding to this and I just need to show it because his hands/arms end up covering most of their face.
Tumblr media
Nothing much else to say about him, I'm just super happy with how everything about him turned out (I did have to go back and redraw some of his hair towards the end because the line thickness wasn't consistent with everything I drew after.
Next is ME yippeeeee. I have no idea why I spent so long adding details even tho I knew alot of it would get covered by Sif 'cause of how I was posing this.
Tumblr media
I even designed a little button based on the Change Ornament + Star (the Change Belief and Lost Belief in The Universe really spoke to me in so many ways)
The gloves are an Archery Glove on the right hand and a Drawing/Writing Glove on the left.
The cloak is based on the style of cloak my mom made for my family for SCA events when I was young. It's just a simple hooded cloak but it has a slit in each side so you can stick your hands threw without needing to open up the cloak. I imagine it being stylized like, the opening doesn't exist until you stick your hands threw and then it can just freely glide around the face of the cloak to wherever it's needed, stopping at the elbow only letting threw the forearm, below the slit beginning to hang off the elbow with gravity while the part above begins to move with the upper arm.
I didn't even try to draw the outfit under the cloak because dealing with the folds of a thick wool cloak was enough for me (you can see how I gave up at the knees because I KNEW Sif was gonna cover them up). What I imagine the outfit being is this big baggy tunic and pants that are tied down at the forearms/calves to keep from getting in the way, it's also supposed to have a big baggy turtleneck thing that can be pulled up as a(nother) hood (iirc, this sorta thing was used so someone could wear a chainmail hood without it grabbing your hair(there ware also like stand alone cloth hoods that did the same thing too but eh, my memory is bad I might just be misremembering this)) but I couldn't figure out the folds and ended up just doing a simple button up thing (which then got covered by Sif's big head anyway.)
I spent soooo long trying to draw my eyes, trying to figure out the shape, and ended up just doing a bunch of small tests to the side before finding one that actually looked right. Drag it over the face and see that it fit EXACTLY, didn't even need to redraw it or anything.... unless you're talking about the other eye in which case I just duplicated it, flipped, and did some perspective warping until it looked ok because I could NOT draw that again especially at a different perspective (can I just say I have no idea how I drew that creepy eye but I love it, it was the first eye I drew and I just threw 4 lines down what the fuck how. Also the Mira-ish one looks cute too but didn't fit the expression.) I also needed to figure out what the hell was wrong with the expression I had before so you get 2 faces from me figuring that out (turns out I had the eyebrows facing the wrong way.)
I ALMOST FUCKING FORGOT MY FRECKLES TOO AAAAAAAAA (they're actually missing from the version I posted in the official ISaT server.) It was super weird trying to add them at the obscenely low resolution I was drawing at and they're probably gonna get compressed to hell and back but I think they're cute.
final thing.
Tumblr media
Why is my hair so similar to Sif's but longer? Like, you can see I was sketching over my drawing of him to make sure I'd keep the proportions right when I started working on myself but in the process I realized that I was basically drawing over his hair but longer for mine (drawing I was using as ref here made by @leemak)
Add that to the uncomfortably long list of things I have in common with Siffrin I guess.

Meet my Zelda BOTW/TORK oc! Sorry that the pic is kind blurry I'll try to draw him more down the line. I made him for an rp server and I decided to share him on here.
BASIC INFORMATION
Name: Kalvet
Nicknames: Kal or Vet
Age: 26
Gender/Sex: Male
Sexuality: Pan
Species: Hylian/Shekiah 
Occupation: Traveling Merchant/ Thief
APPEARANCE :
Body type: Skinny, but muscular
Height: 5’7
Weight: 159 lbs.
Skin: White
Hair color/style: Blackish blue. His hair is long and messy.
Eye color: Red
Scars: His right eye is scarred.
Accessories: N/A
PERSONALITY:
Basic Personality: Kalvet appears to be a kind and smooth talking gentleman. Which is true, somewhat. He appears that way to get clients to purchase his wares. As well as to throw people off his scent of being a thief. On the job as a thief he’s silent and ruthless. Almost as if Kalvet’s a monster rather than a human. Yet despite this he isn’t heartless and will give support in some way or fashion. How much support he’ll give depends on how close he is with the person who needs it . If they’re a stranger or an acquaintance he'll give them the bare minimum. If they're friends then he’ll do whatever he can to help them. However, having someone that close to him is rarity since Kalvet has the belief that most people will just like him to get what they want. So he tends to be cordial with people at best. If he does find someone who he wants to get closer to then he will be more friendly with them, but he will still keep his wits about him. With those who he considers as friends he will playfully tease them and will open up to them a bit more. Once he recognizes them as a friend he will be loyal to them. More than willing to go through hell and back for them. This is especially the case if someone gives him a scale from one of the great dragons. Since he always looked up to them because of the stories that his family told him. Speaking of, Kalvet is a great story teller, and will tell stories that his parents told him or stories about his travels. 
Likes: Dragons, dragon scales, exploring, finding new places, hot springs, voltfruit, sweet foods, telling stories, campfires, the desert, sand seals, riding sand seals, zora’s domain, swords, Faron, myths and tales
Dislikes: The Yiga Clan, the Yiga Clan hideout, spicy foods, people asking about his eye, bows, the cold, Hebra, lairs, getting into Gerudo Town, getting up early, and being a burden to people
Strengths: Kalvet is a very skilled swordsman and even knows how to use two of them at the same time. In fact his main weapon is two hook swords. Kalvet is also very perspective and remembers little details about anyone he meets. 
Weaknesses: Isn’t trusting of people and will bottle up his emotions.
RELATIONSHIPS:
 Parents:
Mother and Father= Deceased
Gerudo Woman (haven't thought of her name yet)= Adoptive Mother
 Siblings: N/A
 Friends/Acquaintances: Link, Impa, Purah, Paya, Robbie, Jerrin, Granté, Beedle, Kass, Riju, Pritana, and Nali
BACKSTORY:
Kalvet lived an average life in a small village. The village was small enough where everyone knew and got along with each other. He had parents who loved him as well as friends that cared for him. Despite being an only child, Kalvet had many children around his age that he could play with. He played with them so much that he considered them all as siblings. Every night before he went to bed his parents would tell him the stories of the great dragons. Kalvet was so fascinated by the dragons that he always dreamed of seeing one, or at least getting something from them like a scale. Kalvet swore that when got older he would take his parents to see the dragons. However when the boy was 12 his life changed for the worst. 
During the return of Calamity Kalvet's village was attacked. Not only by the Calamity itself, but by some Yiga Clan members. The once peaceful and beautiful village was now nothing more than ash and ruin. The fire roared throughout the village as he tried to save his parents, but unfortunately he couldn’t save them. Kalvet tried to find some of his other villagers. While doing so he found out that one of the older children joined the Yiga Clan. Feeling enraged and betrayed he went to attack him, but Kalvet couldn’t even come close to him as he was slashed in the eye, making him blind. Despite that he still tried to fight, it wasn’t until he was knocked out that he stopped.
When he woke up he saw that the Yiga Clan had been long gone, but his eye was patched up by some of the knights that had come over to check things out. Kalvet had explained everything that had happened, The knights swore that they would find and kill the Yiga who burned and killed everyone in his village. Well, almost everyone, that person who joined the Yiga might as well have been dead to Kalvet. As he residented him and resented everyone. Stealing from any and everyone for survival. It wasn’t until his teenage years where he started to trust people again. That was through his adoptive mother, a gerudo. It took him a while to trust her, but once he did the woman had taught her how to use swords. Particularly the hook swords. Still angry at the Yiga he vowed to steal any and everything from them just like they did to him. He would even make money off of them by selling their equipment to anyone who would buy it.

ok so dream smp au where c!tommy ends up leaving the server after c!wilbur does to try and find him and he ends up becoming a sort of travelling merchant going from server to server selling things he made (like clothes and potions) and doing odd jobs before moving on. and when he finds c!wilbur it’s been a few months and he decides that he’s happier doing this than he was petrified on the server so he decides to continue travelling and selling his wares.
things aren’t perfect, obviously. he’s still severely traumatised and physically and mentally disabled from his experiences. he’s still basically a living corpse- stuck in the body he had when c!dream beat him to death and never physically growing up. his paranoia never goes away. but he matures and he heals. he’s still chaotic but he’s less of a prick. he learns to accept himself more even if he’s not the stereotypical big man he feels he has to be. he learns how to be creative and quick witted and charismatic, but he only scams the people who deserve it and tries to make a positive contribution everywhere he goes.
he buys a van like wilbur’s old one and hangs a L’Manburg flag in the back along with pictures of his friends. he dyes the tips of his hair and gets tattoos and piercings and starts wearing soft pastels and flowing clothes instead of the same hoodie and cargo pants he always used to wear. he makes friends everywhere he goes and comes back to visit. his favourite thing is to babysit because he’s really good with kids. he finds a stray kitten in his engine once and calls her tubbo. he’s too scared to go back to the dream smp but he visits wilbur often. he forgets how to fight and buries his swords in the ground and strangely he doesn’t mind it.
you can stop reading here and pretend it’s wholesome. if you read on its on you.
it’s a decade on when things go wrong.
he tastes something bitter in his food, and before he can react he drifts into unconsciousness. when he wakes up he thinks he’s having a nightmare- back in the prison cell, with the masked man he’d tried his best to forget ranting to him again like the bad old days. a quick trip to limbo shatters that illusion.
in the time tommy was gone, dream went through with his plans to make the server a big happy family, in the worst way possible. he’s forced everyone into a stagnant role of when he was happiest with them, under the belief that’ll somehow make them happy. he’s forced people to become caricatures of themselves, unable to grow or change, unable to even age. he genuinely believes due to the smiles and laughter of his brothers and sisters they’re happy, but they are afraid of doing anything else.
and this new tommy? dream does not like him one bit.
unable to recognise that tommy is no longer the teenager he once was, but a man nearly in his thirties who’s trying to move on, he sees everything about him as heretical. his appearance is marred, too subdued, too mature. he’s not impulsive or loud enough, he’s not abrasive and insecure like he’s supposed to be. he’s been tainted, dream decides, from the outside world, and he needs to be brought back to the perfect tommy he once was.
but tommy is not a lonely child anymore. there are people looking for him. he’s sharp as a whip and convincing with his words. none of which will stop him from being abused, of course- but tommy is tommy, determined and iron willed, and he plans. he can’t fight anymore, but there’s people on the server who can. there’s far more of them than there are of him, and tommy knows there are people who love him, out there. he has a life. he has something to lose, for once- and everything to gain.

I so desperately want to write an au in which everything from another note happens nearly the same except Beyond is genuinely not the killer. He’s a whole ass respectable(eh kinda) detective who takes on the case because it’s interesting but L who knows B would take on the case sends Misora to solve the case first and fuck with him(this is how L wins the name Ryuzaki) but that wouldn’t be the point of the story.
No, because one day when the members of the Kira task force arrive at hq they’d be met with an uncanny valley version of L. They have no clue what’s going on and L cant get rid of B(he’s been trying to shake him since A died) but then B says why he’s decided to join the investigation despite not caring about Kira.
“After Raye Penbar died Naomi contacted me because she had something to tell you and needed to get in touch with you. When I called her back to give her the address to this place she didn’t answer. When I’m through with Kira, you’ll finally have a reason to get rid of me.”
Like B and Misora being besties after the case and Beyond going absolutely feral on the Kira investigation because that bitch killed his only friend. I keep imagining B seeing Misora and feeling all the things he felt for A, except Misora has such a long life to live, beyond feels safe becoming her friend. I have no plot in mind, only vibes so this will probably stay a wip forever but the thoughts are eating my brain 😫
P.s. If you have any thoughts pls pls pls let me know! I have a grand total of 0 plans for this but I love the idea so much 😫
P.p.s. the Wammy’s kids are 100% Beyonds biggest informants on Ls ware abouts. The moment that man started getting paid for cases he bought the lot of them burner phones to keep in touch and gave Matt the best laptop available so he could have access to Wammy’s servers

I really love the server, but i hate how it's been just angst in these past months. It's frustrating how we still don't know what's happening, why the eye dude is doing what he is doing, how he got access to the islanders, if the eggs will be back or not. We have more questions than answers, the story feels shallow and without payoffs.
The event was unbalanced from day one, and the stakes ware vague (it wasn't clear what would happen if the "cursed" team, that ened up not existing, lost). It wasn't fun for pvp, tryhards, roleplayers or builder players, or at least that's what it looked like. Although the disasters mini events ware kinda funny.
I also feel like we can never talk about this issues without being labeled as "neg" or a hater.

SHUSH we think w e think abt Etho in Las Nevadas again shooosh shhh:
>He’s a wandering salesman from another world. he shows up unannounced here and there and then hes gone. Technically it’s illegal and he doesn’t follow the Las Nevadas laws but at that point Quackity’s given up trying to tell him off cuz he’ll do it anyway or find a loophole
>That being from *another world* (another server), Etho’s wares consist of rare and illegal items you just can’t access on the DSMP. This includes the elytra Quackity has.
>Las Nevadas to Etho other than a business venture is his vacation spot he do be playing the games :3c He makes mental notes to tell some guy named Tango, maybe implementing some features into their own games back home. Quackity has never met Tango. Tango would’ve loved it here. Offhandedly Etho mentions about a guy, his neighbour, Joe Hills too - but Quackity knows all to well who he is.

WIP WEDNESDAY
Decided it is time for another update so here's a longer post to what I've been up to and stuff that circles around in my head lately.
tagging:
@medtech-mara, @imaginarycyberpunk2023, @itzsassha, @humberg, @kittenchrissy, @rosapexa, @cinnamon-mey, @heywoodvirgin, @dreamskug, @drunkchasind, and everyone who sees and wants to do as well.
No pressure as always!
1. CHARACTERS & LORE
Let's begin with sth. first I have on my mind for a while: As this fandom (sadly) seems to fall more and more apart, I would like to know if there are still people interested in reading actual lore content or not. As some of you know my dear friend @nervouswizardcycle and I are continously building up some sort of our own expansion after the main game events with rp/fic, character builds, backstory lore and support by vp and it eats a lot of time. The lack of interactions on tblr during the last few months and in several discord servers has led to me not posting a lot anymore either (beside my mental exhaustion phases that come and go). It seems more active again though, as majority already played Phantom Liberty by now or are right into it, so they slowly come back bc they presumably avoided spoilers. —————— So, here is me wondering how many following my blog are 'really' interested to see me sharing all lore of the boys (including story parts) or does the majority prefer just to see pretty pics and that's it? —————— (I've wanted to add a poll here but it doesn't let me save my post so I might do it in a seperate one a bit later) I know: it's my blog, I post what I like in the first place, and I'll likely continue that way but somehow I would like to know if it's worth the effort of formating and thinking about how the posts could look or if I can take that time to do something else with it instead if there's less interest. So, I would just keep it in my tiny discord server I share with my rp partner(s)/in private chats with those interested bc it's gotten to be a lot and we are still at the very start it feels.
2. SKILLS, CYBERWARE & HUMANITY LOSS
As I'm the type that can't have ocs with no background/lore, I sat down the other day and did a build for each with their skills, wrote down what chrome everyone got (incl. additional c-ware from the lore books plus I'm reading e.g. into what programs my runner twins are likely to make use of). It went this far that my friend used the amount of the game's 'cyberware capacity' as 'humanity loss'. It is used in the lore books/ttrpg anyways. So I've counted all my boys possible capacity* and use it as humanity loss (HL) now which led me to thinking about which one of my ocs goes to get treatment and how often they go to see a MedTech on regular base. I thought I could give them a certain minus amount to reduce the HL for each depending on how much or less c-ware they got — e.g. Thyjs as soldier has most (but all is good Militech chrome) and used to go and still goes regularly so his HL gets a huge reduce — whereas Ryder's gets always nulled no matter how often he gets threatment, because BEAST (rogue AI) eats it away each time (to understand that in full you probably have to know the story). Ry must have most HL loss as he often walks along the edge towards cyberpsychosis, so I'm forced to reduce Thyjs' with most c-ware installed a huge amount. And that's how I made it now. It's probably far away from canon ttrpg as my 'canon cp world' consists of 75% game, 20% lorebooks and 5% own added ideas I haven't seen on the lore yet. And I like it that way I gotta say. On a little side note: It also had me thinking about creating a new support character for the team that could be in fact a MedTech. But I won't do that anytime soon.
* some things might still change as I slowly started playing their playthroughs and skill them for real now. I love each build so far because it's a whole different experience! And playing someone with noe netrunning ability is hell as I was only usedto paly netrunner before.
3. FIC SNIPPET TIME
I decided to give you an insight of what I've roughly written yesterday about Ryder and Thyjs having a talk about how they feel for each other:
“Ik ben eerlijk. I liked that accidental kiss we shared a-and i-ik find je leuk, Ry. Probably more as— a friend is supposed to do.” De Wit instantly starts feeling nauseous and something tightens around his stomach but he needs to get it off of his heavy feeling soul. “I-I guess I have stronger feelings for you than I had expected and it’s confusing me.” He frowns, “It’s not usual for me. Never felt any kind of such an attraction towards other men. I-It’s just you— I think I might be into you, Ryder.” The last sentences came in a mere murmur than spoken and Ryder’s name was only a light whisper. Thyjs didn’t dare to look to his left. He feared he would lose his new gained friend now because he said his stupid thoughts aloud. Instead he continues staring at the distant horizon feeling the lump in his throat only getting heavier. The sun was already half arisen and the sky was painted in a bright orange and yellow fading out into never ending blue. After de Wit seems to have finally finished his long talk, Ryder realizes the pack has fallen out of his hands. He needed to repeat in his mind what Thyjs just told him. Did the man really pour out his heart to him at this very moment? He couldn’t believe it at first. The pale soldier he obviously secretly fell for just told him he was having feelings for him that reach further than friendship? It took him what seemed like an eternity to get out of his frozen state. Ry moves up into a straighter position, still supporting his body with his right forearm, turning more towards Thyjs, who is still watching the rising sun with a rather sad look on his face blinking every once in a while. Eventually Scharfenberg brings up his left hand to reach for the older man’s face and de Wit suddenly feels two fingers under his chin making him look at the younger man again. He sees a tiny smile on those dark lips he caught himself looking at so many times in utter secrecy. That tiny smile that’s usually the base for a brighter even more heartwarming smile baring dangerous fangs who make the man look frightening, but smiling like that? Thyjs often caught himself thinking Ry looked cute with these fangs as well. Ry sees Thyjs’ confusion as his eyes look questioning right back at him. So Ry better says something now. “I-Ich äh—” he clears his throat, “—I don’t know where to start. How to talk feelings in the first place.” Letting Thyjs talk himself off seemed to be right for Ryder and it was worth it, because he thinks it’s the most earnest confession someone has ever made to him, yet he doesn’t know how to answer to all this best. So he decides to place himself into a sitting position, to look the soldier boy straight into the eyes. His gaze gets distracted by Thy’s slightly opened lips for a split second. It is the same situation as earlier downstairs, only that Ry has his fingers still under de Wit’s chin and starts to lead his face towards the other man. Just a few inches are left between them and Thyjs can feel the younger man’s warm breath on his skin. He also has this incredible sight at those beautiful male black eyelashes again the very moment they cast down and then he feels those same lips from before on his own with such a soft pressure that again he closes his eyes in an instant and starts to revel in that same electricity running through him but also the revenant paralyze surrounding him again.
It is just a brief kiss, similar to the one in the apartment downstairs but shyer in its move. As soon as it happened it ended. Ryder opens his eyes afterwards immediately because he fears somehow the man in front of him would get up, step back and turn away but instead he still feels his chin pressed softly against his fingers. It casts another tiny smile onto Ryder’s face as his now racing heart skips a beat or two, seeing that Thyjs didn’t make a move nor a sound. His eyes open now as well and Ry swears he’s never seen heterochromia looking so soft but also surprised at the same time at him like Thyjs does right now. He waits for a reaction but Thyjs just keeps looking at him, lips parting shortly just to close again. “What? — Did that make you that speechless now?” Ry asks with nearly the same surprisement. Thyjs lets out a heavy breath and nods, eyes totally lost looking at him which lets Scharfenberg put on a warm smile. “Want to— try again?” Thyjs swallows his unspoken words that gathered in his throat he couldn’t speak aloud and nods again. Heavier, his lips turning into a smile as well and his eyes are suddenly filled with happiness and relief, like he’s telling Ryder that he cannot wait to have their lips meeting once more and to feel that intense buzz from before as it spreads through his entire body like when he’s powering up electricity. This feeling right now? It’s strong and sends an entirely new sensation through him. Is dat het gevoel van vlinders in je buik? He wonders but doesn’t get much more time to think about it because Ryder choses to lean in for a second time.
It can and probably will be rewritten or changed but I definitely want to have it this way! Thjys starts talking and talking almost doing a monologue instead of a dialogue until he comes to the final point and Ryder wants to respond with words but doesn't know how to (he may find them a bit later) and just does what's best: kiss this soldier. I'll max out this kissing scene for a lot more pages just because I can.
I love the idea of Thyjs as war machine being totally romantic and getting super takative when alone with Ryder. And Ryder definitely is a soft romatic boy, alsways was bu Beast made his life harder to show this side more but Thyjs gets to see it also in private.

Since I do more 'actual play the game' now even though I have installed most of all mods back, I rarely do pics atm. If I do, they are just rather nice pics where I try to use the ingame light rather than to spawn spot lights. here's a preview of what comes next:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have so many ideas I want to put into reality. Especially pics that underline the rp/fic chapters mentioned above. But I'm not going to force myself. I'll see what I can realize for the rest of the year and what gets to be stamped as a New Year's resolution. I'll probably focus on a few blorbo pics this weekend because Ryder's birthday is around the corner (31st October) and Jay's boyfriend Enzolino has just a day prior. So if I can manage, I'll do that in the first place.
Thanks for reading! <3
