hi aki!! i felt very much inspired by your seasons au for harringrove earlier today so i wrote this little piece and i'd love for you to have it! i hope you like it!! thank you for always creating the most beautiful artwork, you continue to take my breath away!!

The new summer arrives with a burning promise for Steve.

Golden skin laced with molten sunlight, eyes as blue as the ocean, a voice reminiscent of waves crashing on a shore. This summer isn’t to be like the last, Steve knows.

They come together for the first time and produce the dew of an early morning, with damp grass and misty rain. Steve brings gentle song birds and Billy’s slow to wake, lulled to an easy slumber by their songs, not eager to rouse the heat of the day.

They work well enough but there’s something else hidden under the surface, hidden from sight, kept away.

It comes as no surprise that Billy’s hotter than a wildfire; just as unpredictable and uncontrollable. A temper that is unmatched, burning so brightly it’s no wonder Icarus fell from the sky if it were Billy’s heat that melted those wings.

Steve feels like that around Billy — like he’s in a free fall. Nothing to steady him, nothing to catch. No earth to dig his fingers into, no use in begging for help.

But, he likes it that way. Prefers it. Because Billy burns brighter than the sun but he warms Steve, makes him grow, makes flowers bloom in his chest where they shouldn’t. And he tends to them in secret, pretends that it isn’t Billy’s kisses that waters them and it’s not his smile that makes Steve’s world greener.

Because it’s forbidden. It’s not wise. They know better, they do. They shouldn’t get attached because seasons are fickle. They will leave whenever they want without warning.

But, a new summer loves the earth. And Steve’s willing to try.

HEY HI HELLO BAMBI HIHI

Um. Oh my god? I have no words? Actually I do FIRSTLY you are an absolute sweetheart and I am melting into a puddle at your kind words, I have so much love for the people that enjoy what I do because that by extension means my love for what I do is hopefully coming through. A big feedback loop of love is what it is and it means sososososooooo much to me that you put time and your energy into WRITING THIS INCREDIBLE MASTERPIECE???

I am. So in love with the way you use words and language, like I am actually going to implode that you wrote this. This is so poetic, so EXACT in its tone about how these two collide and and and that bit about flowers blooming in Steves chest where there is usually sleep and the slow slip into decay is SO BEAUTIFUL AND WHEN I READ IT I NEARLY THREW MY PHONE D O W N THE STAIRS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KEEP AND USE IT IN THIS AU. I had tiny bits of like, more moss growing on Steve from Billys proximity in one of my attempts to write, but this…this is something else entirely more impactful and I am just, basically howling at the fact you would write this

My heart is so full, I adore you and your writing so much, thank you thank you THANK YOU for creating such a gorgeous piece I’m treasuring it forever 🖤🖤🖤

#aki answers #seasonsau #harringrove #billy hargrove #i hope everyone else loves this as much as i do #steve harrington #oh my GOD the poetry #Billys intensity affecting how Steves cold leafy form appears #Steves sleepy energy affecting Billy and making him settle down and relax a little #no need to rush a sunrise #the way you write how these two collide with eachother #i am gonna probably throw my phone #again #thank you bambi

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals and followers 🖤 (No pressure, only if you want to.)

Okay. I will try. I am usually a pretty sad and cynical person, but I can probably name five happy things. XD

My SO makes me very happy all the time. I am very lucky to have them in my life and they help me a lot with mental and health issues.

Um. I like to make things. Currently what I enjoy most is coding things with javascript. I'd like to make a game, but I always loose steam before finishing the project. I write a lot too, but I don't really share the stories publicly unless I get a certain amount pre-written so nothing I can share really on that front.

I got a kalimba for my birthday and have been having a lot of fun with that, though it can be heard to find songs without accidentals. I've already figured out the notes for a few different songs. None of them am I very good at playing yet. I'd like to be able to record myself playing some songs if I can get any good at it.

I like ice cream and I've been eating a lot of cotton candy lately. Good food in general makes me happy, but I can't cook so I don't get to eat tasty things that much.

Fanfiction :)

Haha. I did it!

@profoundwebhead Thanks for sending it to me.

WHAT IF WHAT IF WHAT IF

Eddie had to do CPR and it worked this time. He was able to save someone he loved this time, the car didn't take them.

Eddie had been in love with Shannon once, and he still loved her when he watched her die, and Eddie had been so helpless then.

But not tonight, he thought determinedly as he pushed his arms to work on Buck's sternum, willing for the other man to just take a breath.

"He got a pulse!" Someone shouted, probably Hen.

And Eddie, he still felt helpless anyway as they whisked Buck away.

Helplessly in love with his best friend.

QUESTION YOU SEE THIS MAN WITH A NICE HOT DRINK FOR U BECAUSE HE LOVES U THAT MUCH WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE AND WHY 🩷

If you mean "what drink did he get me" it'd be between...some ice blended coffee or hot chocolate. Yes, even in the summer. I'm a madman, and hot chocolate is still a comfort drink of mine. 🤣

....Actually, in saying that, he'd probably get the hot choco, unless I was being a grumpy menace due to being sleepy. Sleepy Kat's get coffee and lots of water. Also probably a snack, just in case; keeps me from getting the Brain Bees.

Also, hot chocolate means he gets to menace the coffee shop worker (hot beverage...in the summer?!?) and also me. Who has learned to stop wearing their jacket 24/7, but will not leave it at home, either....and wears about just as much black as my husband. 😔

Would your character eat pineapple on their fancy Lominsan pizza? Additionally, thinking about other 'food sins', is there anything your character would eat that others might consider divisive? How about weird food combinations?

Haha, this is a fun question, especially because I'm not a fan of pineapple on pizza myself. Though I don't hate on people who like it :p to each their own!

But Akisame is always happy to try new food, and I think pineapple on pizza is no exception! Salty-sweet flavor profiles are common in eastern food, so I think she'd actually be a fan if it was done right (and Limsa Lominsa is quite the culinary hub, so I'm sure it would be). She isn't picky and is grateful to be able ro have a meal at all, so she'll enjoy most things unless they're particularly bitter. I think her tastes are otherwise pretty simple. There isn't much to be divisive about (except maybe the vegan characters out there who may disagree when she eats meat haha). A bowl of rice, some cooked vegetables, and a cup of tea, and she's more than content with her meal.

I won't talk about him as much, but it feels wrong to leave out my Viera with a food related question! He's a cook and wants to eat food from everywhere! If he hasn't had pineapple on pizza but the opportunity presents itself, he's gotta try it. Everything from seafood dishes from Vylbrand to the spiciest flavors of Thavnair and beyond, he's happy to give any flavor a try when he can! He's not classically trained as a chef, but as someone who learned aboard a ship and cooked for a crew, I think some creativity in the dishes is required! Leftover herbs from Thanalan and fruits from Gridania? Nuts from who-knows-where? Time to get creative! Not everything he makes will be a success--his partner I'm sure will attest to that--but he's like a basket from an episode of Chopped if he can afford to be, and he'll try his best to make it not gross.

Thank you so much for the question!

3 and 12 for the ask meme!!

questions I think would be fun to be asked

3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?

Aaaa, movie asks are always the hardest Qs for me!! Imma do my best, tho!

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Howl's Moving Castle

The Sea Prince and the Fire Child

And this is after hours of thinking... Ehehe. All wonderful works of story and animation. The last one is really sad at the end, but-! I also have some animation cells from it, so it means a lot to me!

(Also, special shoutout to "A Silent Voice"... It's really good, but Howl lives in my heart; as well, another incredibly sad, but powerful movie. I recommend it, too, but advise caution when watching it, as well!)

what’s some good advice you want to share?

Considering it's the New Year and all... I'll share the advice I've been telling my own friends!

So. We've already seen the posts like, "No expecting anything of this year. We will attempt to make this a good year by any means necessary...and currently, we're in the testing phase," I'd imagine? So kinda keeping that in mind...

I've been talking about working hard this coming year, and being ready to make it a good year. Even if things don't work out? If those bad days come back?

Well then, fight back!!! More than ever, we need to find our comforts and what will keep us going. Let it keep you happy, let it give you funds to do other things... Whatever it is, fight hard for it!!

That's my advice!! ♡

[a lil more personal under the cut]

For someone like me, especially, who's anxiety has gotten bad enough I feel completely unable to work in...basically any social setting (which is a major hindrance).

But-!! Not letting that stop me, either! I've got a lot of stuff planned for this next year! And I'll get to do it in the comfort of my own space!!!! (Boyf and I got an apartment!! We're still settling in, though...) So I have a lot of hope in this year, and working towards...better stuff, I suppose. ♡

Ok so I wanted to dm you but I’m not confident enough to dm you yet (autism) so I’m just gonna yell into here and hope you see it.

Thank you so so much for your post about me yesterday. It came at such a needed time considering what was happening in my personal life and everything you said about me was so lovely I genuinely had to reread it a couple times for it to sink in (that and it was an illegally early time for me to be awake when I first saw it)

I’m not exaggerating when I say that looking at your art is one of the main things that kept me in the fandom earlier this year when I was really going through it and I admire you so much, seeing you say those things about me really means a lot, like genuinely. I’m not great with words at the best of times but I hope this comes off at the very least as sincere.

So yeah, I might dm you at some point to say a proper thank you but like, it really meant a lot to read that yk. Ty for being so nice to me.

Hey dude!

I’m so glad the post made it to you!!

Tbh I was just the conducting rod in all this, I would give all the appreciation to the community that dogpiled it with adoration and kind words. You gotta now how loved and appreciated you are Max seriously. You do a whole lot for this fandom with those positivity posts and your writing, and just looking at that post definitely is proof. I’m glad it was able to reach you at such a rough point in time rn (I reaaally hope you haven’t got covid, that shit sucks)

Ah god hearing that my silly little doodles had such an impact is kinda insane to hear, if a little bit of the happiness I get out of drawing spreads to even one person then I’m just so stoked. Its whats so awesome about this fandom, the circulation of ideas, people bringing new concepts to the table and everyone being able to celebrate these ideas and have them grow into bigger things.

I’m sorry this has come so late, moving my entire life from one city to another every few days takes up alot of my mental energy. But please don’t ever be afraid to chuck us a dm!

Remember your loved dude and you should absolutely treat yourself with the same kindness you give the rest of us ♥️♥️

Are your MMD models allowed to be used for games like vrc and etc? If they remain private?

Yeah sure, they're all ripped from other games anyways

#aki answers #that's gonna be the ask tag I guess

[whats-k-popping]

what is something you would say to someone who wants to give up? not writing. but give up in general.

I would say that there are people who care about them, even if it might not feel like it. I would remind them that they have touched someone's life in an unforgettable way, even if they don't know it. I would tell them that even if things seem impossible, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. That life is a precious experience filled with highs and lows, and the best way to experience the highs is to push through the lows.

And, if this person is coming to me, I would open myself up to being a support, a friend, and a pillar. Whatever they're going through, they won't have to go through it alone.

I see you. If we've interacted, I remember you. And I value your existence and your efforts. I want only the best for you. While your experiences are your own, we are all humans sharing the same space. And no human is less than another.

To this anon, or to anyone who may need someone to talk to, I will always listen. This is always a judgment free, safe space.

The world is a beautiful place with you in it. So hold out to find the beauty in tomorrow.

❤️ Aki

barnbabas somehow ending up in the life stream to fist fight minerva. i mean if zack could do it!!! so can he.

[ This time we can go OOC~! But I suppose it does raise the question of where Minerva goes when not actively being utilized by the Planet... Much like Chaos and Omega (the latter two belong to Lifestream Black), she exists undeniably, but also is shuttered away when not otherwise being used as an...avatar, of sorts. And it's not like Aerith ever sought her help or guidance... Within the Lifestream, she communicated only with other Ancients, who's wills managed to persist just enough to aid her during the geostima crisis.

[ ...And on the note of Zack: roasting my boy for not saying goodbye to Aerith!! I get that he was hyped to see Angeal again- mf Lifestream's 2-Winged Uber over here- but?!? Not a quick stop by the church? Say goodbye to the girl you considered your girlfriend?! IT'S BEEN FOUR YEARS?!? She thought you ditched her for someone else, man... 😭 No brain cells, that Mr. Fair. ]

hi hello I am casually sliding into ur ask box to seek rambles of your Sun n Moon self-ship 👀 how was your s/i’s first meeting with them? Do they have any habits or methods for comforting your s/i? - @limey-self-inserts

@limey-self-inserts

LIMEYYYY, thank you sm for this ask!! I actually haven't gotten into detail w/ these dorks yet... 😳 Guess the day is today to talk about them!

For reference, there's two versions of this ship now, so I'll go over both of them! Starting with Night Guard SI.

Lowkey inspired by the wonderful fic, Solar Lunacy ( @bamsara ), River is a struggling, would-be artist who needed some cash. Turns out, local Pizzaplex is looking for a nightguard, they pay stupid-well, and the wacky hours... Well, suppose they've done worse than a funky sleep schedule, right?

Turns out, that high price was for a reason. Chaos abound, Sun's odd attitude, Moon's..............himself, and the rest of the crew. It's a lot, but also... Whatever. Local fan/nerd of AI is delighted to be surrounded by such smart machines and treats them as people unthinkingly. (But also a little thinking-ly, because they believe in that kinda thing. Don't think too hard about the times they've talked to themself or inanimate objects, though...)

On a sidenote, they're closest to Freddy. (Perhaps, predictably, given his oddly fatherly nature.) Chica wormed her way in there by force, Roxanne is cool (and she pretends so hard that she isn't touched by that), and Monty... Is Monty; respectable distance given.

To give better details, tho-!!

.: First Meeting :.

River started working in the daytime to first meet Sun. Essentially settling them in with the "better" half to the duo...with the hope of avoiding the other entirely, given how much of a menace [and beyond] he could be.

For better or worse, River and Sun get mutually attached. And it sort of rubs off on Moon, with a pinch of them refusing to simply give up on him or stay afraid. (For their own good, far as he's concerned.) Buuut it helps that they're horribly oblivious- in every way that matters- and stubborn to boot.

Perhaps the only downside to the relationship is Moon pushing them to sleep is...a not unfounded ask; River is terrible at having a consistent bedtime, even with the busywork the Pizzaplex passes down. Even with the drama of the animatronics around them. If anything, the exhaustion goes up, the fussing of the Daycare Attendant rockets up ever skyward. Perhaps, ironically, all things considered.

.: Methods / Habits of Comforting :.

☀️ Sun being the energetic one, his methods of comfort mean rarely slowing down unless the situation truly calls for it. (And even then, bouncing in place enough to count it as stimming behavior.) He likes to tease, play games, and generally try to get River to relax via... I guess you could say "childish" methods, but definitely aren't unfounded ideas, either.

They've started bringing their mobile console (totally not the Switch) to work sometimes- when active service hours are out and the lights will be on for a portion of the night- and Sun LOVES seeing their video game progress! Their village in one game delights him, and the pocket monster game... They both have too much fun with that one. Sun pets the lil guys sometimes, while River watches. (He doesn't wanna play battles, though. The idea of them fainting concerns him. Too much pressure!)

Is also the main 'bot to ensure River eats, and does so in a somewhat healthy way, for what little the Pizzaplex can offer.

🌙 Moon, on the other hand, is a lot more quiet with his comforts. A lot of comforts from his side involve relaxation, sleeping/naps, quiet time, and parallel play (typically with him lurking over River's shoulder in some way).

In the beginning, "parallel play" is a BIG thing for Moon. Kinda like a feral cat, he's content at keeping his distance and assisting where need be. Making sure they don't get hurt on the job. Maybe scurrying off and dropping treats into River's path/on their head. They're vending machine snacks. They can't really complain; food is food. Water or other drinks (commonly Fizzy Faz) are left on any table or flat surface Moon can find.

Later on, after he's able to relax some and become the naptime 'bot again, River starts trusting him more to be asleep around. They take a long time to fall asleep, so Moon immediately started finding ways to aid their naps or sleepovers; finding preferred plushies in the Plex, needling River into bringing/buying blankets to bring over, setting up a hammock, etc.

It's actually this kind of motivation that actually makes their private room get decorated quite a bit before the Pizzaplex goes up in flames... (And yet, he ensures the fires don't get to that stuff. Almost gains extra damage because of it; Sun and Moon are dedicated to protecting it.)

Post-Pizzaplex burning, Moon rebuilds the "cozy nest" in River's apartment. They get put in "time out" there whenever they get overworked, are overly stressed, and so on. Along with the addition of Moon nabbing their candles and comfort items to put in there...if he can get away with it.

...They do have a small, moon phases blanket that's a major comfort item, and that typically stays in the main bedroom. (Secondary room was more of an office/workspace, but Sun/Moon command it later on.) Moon lowkey preens over that information.

Sun, on the other hand, is just glad to be here. However, he does take every opportunity to mother hen all he wants now that he gets to personally see into the life River leads. (Which is about what he expected, if a little worse. Honestly! Why wait so long to throw away trash?! "When I get up next," do it sooner!! Messy, messy!)

And then... There's my animatronic SI! Currently nicknamed "Dancer" for lack of a name idea.

Made for Sun/Moon, it was management's hope that they would be able to keep the two in line. For Sun, less stress and ability to give kids more even attention with a companion. For Moon, to keep him in check and prevent (harm) any danger to the restless kids during naptime.

Their base comes from Ballora; essentially the ballerina has been remade into a playful, breezy assistant! A flowing gown, gentle elf ears, and peaceful, closed eyes. Even their body is padded, to aid in comfort when holding or carrying kids.

Much like Moon, they have a music box in their chest, and often dance while it goes off.

Although they are overall a pleasant addition and Sun adores them (Moon has complicated feelings), Dancer has, occasionally, been a problem for management. Hair sometimes catching on their joints and causing chaos. Paint getting on their hair. The occasional malfunction, as well. (Much to Sun's panic.)

On that note, though, Dancer and Sun/Moon rather balance each other out! Where Sun gets stressed, Dancer is able to soothe him into peace. Even Moon, who has complicated feelings for the assistant (to this assistant), appreciates their company. He's hesitant to ever admit it, but he likes their singing voice. (Sun, however, would admit that in an instant.)
