A/N:

Without spoiling too much, I love adding this character, especially since it didn't seem fair to only have one of them

Solomon is alive

Halloween was fast approaching and the entirety of Hogwarts was excited for this year's festivities. And despite everything that had happened during your fifth-year, you were somewhat excited as well. After all, the wizarding world was currently safer, including all your friends. Though it all came with a price.

As you got ready to go downstairs to the Great Hall, you looked into the mirror one more time. There were bags under your eyes even now. No matter how much you slept, it didn't help. With a sigh, you looked through your trunk by the bed, getting a beautification potion that you'd managed to brew specifically for such cases.

The effects were immediate, the bags disappearing and more colour filling your cheeks and the rest of your face, making you appear livelier. The downside was that the potion didn't help your eyes change - they still looked quite distant and held a pretty faraway look in them. But who could blame you, really? You'd fought Ranrok, watched Sebastian almost murder his uncle and witnessed the death of your mentor, Professor Fig. You weren't too sure the nightmares would ever go away.

As you applied just a little bit of lipstick and looked over your dress one more time, you thought about what you might possibly see this year and what you'd do afterwards, in the future. The excited chatter and giggling from outside the girls' dorm room made your train of thought derail. With a sigh, you straightened up and left, going downstairs and leaving the common room.

"Took you a while, MC." You looked up as the entrance to your House's common room closed behind you, seeing Sebastian and Ominis. They were both dressed nicely, but more leisurely. "But I can see why." You laughed at Sebastian's words, seeing a teasing smirk grace his face. Which promptly left and turned into a pout because of Ominis elbowing him in the sides. You couldn't help laughing at the two of them playfully bickering, relieved to see their friendship was still intact and, hopefully, stronger than ever.

You were glad that you'd managed to stop Sebastian in that tomb. Otherwise, who knows what might've happened. Right now, Sebastian had pretty much given up on the Dark Arts, finding his new chance of curing Anne in you. It had taken a lot of persuasion and arguments, but in the end, you and Ominis managed to get him to stop pursuing that dark path.

"Keep your hands to yourself at least for tonight, Sebastian." Ominis sighed before turning towards you with a smile. "Hello, darling. I'm sure you look beautiful, if the girls fawning over you as they were leaving was of any indication." You felt yourself flush a little at his words, seeing Sebastian smirk. You jokingly glared at him before coming closer to the two Slytherin boys.

"You two look really nice this evening. And my, oh my, Sallow. Is that...cologne? Old Eau de Confringo not attracting the ladies anymore?" He pouted and glared at you playfully while Ominis snickered.

"You're never gonna let this go, are you?"

"Nope. After witnessing 7 people describe one of the scents in Amortentia as Confringo, for lack of a better word, during Professor Sharp's lesson a few weeks ago... You can't really blame me, can you?" The brunette huffed and crossed his arms, the blush on his face highlighting his scattered freckles like little stars.

"Well, as much as I'd like to take the day off and make more fun of Sebastian and his fangirls, I'd like for the three of us to go and enjoy some Pumpkin Pasties and Butterbeer. After all, you two have been badgering me about this for the past month, so we better not be wasting time. I still have to write my paper on Felix Felicis for Tuesday." Ominis explained as he got up, his wand already glowing as he looked in your direction. Sebastian got up as well and you linked your arms with his then with Ominis'.

"Don't worry, Ominis. You'll be a lot more relaxed after tonight and you can write your paper tomorrow, after a good sleep. I have to get some information for Professor Shah's class, but I'll do it tomorrow night since it's going to be clear. Tonight is all about relaxing and enjoying ourselves." Sebastian grinned and nodded at your words, flexing his arm enough for you to feel it and look up at him with a smile.

"Exactly. I don't want to hear about homework for tonight, thank you very much. That can wait. For now, though, Butterbeer is in order." He commented, already mentally drooling at the thought of all the treats commissioned by Hogwarts from Honeydukes and the Three Broomsticks. It was the same every year, but there was always a new product, as some sort of a thank you for most of the clients being Hogwarts students.

With those words, the three of you walked towards the Great Hall, talking and laughing along the way. And the party was in full swing, with friends and classmates laughing and mingling. The scent of different Honeydukes sweets and Butterbeer permeated the air and made your stomachs grumble. With practised ease, Sebastian moved his arm around your shoulders while Ominis' hand barely touched your lower back as they both led you to the refreshments table.

The next few hours were spent socialising, laughing, drinking and stuffing yourselves full. You were almost never without any of the two Slytherins, especially since Sebastian had told Ominis about some of the other students ogling you and seeming ready to come and ask you either to a dance or on a date. Some bolder ones had tried, but the look in the two boys' eyes, with or without your knowledge, made anyone turn tail and walk away. It wasn't that they were jealous, no. They just...hated the idea of you being asked out just because of your status as the 'Hero of Hogwarts', as they had agreed in the Undercroft. Yeah, that was it, no other reasons, surely.

"Everyone, if I may have your attention, please!" You all turned towards the podium, seeing Professor Weasley, who smiled at the crowd of students having a good time. "As you may be aware, Headmaster Black is currently engaged in other business with the Ministry until next week. As a result, I will be the one to make some special announcements tonight. Let's start with the first one: the Ghosts of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, who have graciously accepted our suggestion of dancing for us tonight. Let's give them a warm welcome!"

Everyone started clapping as the aforementioned ghosts glided inside the Great Hall through the walls and open doors, some passing above the students, others through, making them shiver. Everyone made room for the ghostly residents of the castle and Hogsmeade as they danced in sync, echoing laughter intertwining with the music played by both the enchanted instruments and the musicians' portraits, whose residents had been invited to accompany them. You all watched the ghosts dancing, the two boys flanking you from either side.

Ominis froze and turned his head around a little, his wand able to somewhat sense the commotion, curious before feeling a smile overtake his face. When the dance was over, everyone applauded. You and Sebastian talked about it before you saw him flinch and yelp comically. You looked at him with a chuckle as he looked back, his jaw becoming slack. You turned as well, seeing Anne. She still appeared a little pale but you were more overjoyed to see her than anything. Sebastian, you and Ominis all hugged her, happy to see her back at Hogwarts.

"What are you doing here?" Sebastian asked her, beyond curious.

"Professor Weasley invited me. Told me there was a special occasion tonight and that I shouldn't miss it. Uncle Solomon is just over there, talking with her." You all looked where she was pointing, seeing the older man as he greeted several of your teachers. Sebastian scoffed a little but didn't say anything else, not when he felt you squeeze one of his hands reassuringly.

His relationship with Solomon hadn't improved much, especially after he almost cast the Killing Curse on their uncle. Still, with a bit of coaxing and many, many promises and reassurances from you and Ominis and plenty of begging from Anne, Sebastian was allowed to visit Anne and Feldcroft again. Though he wasn't allowed to bring anything he thought might cure Anne - not without proper research, official clearance by a professor or a doctor, and certainly not without him present.

Sebastian had protested immediately and promptly left the house, taking his frustration out on the training dummies outside. You all left him to vent, but he knew he couldn't win. And with you and Ominis coming out after a while to discuss with him, he finally relented. And as much as he would've tried to sneak past his uncle, you and Ominis had put your faith in him and told him so. Which made the brunette feel guilty and actually respect his promise.

"Did she tell you anything else about this special occasion?" You asked the girl, effectively ending the awkward moment the four of you had found yourselves in. Anne shook her head.

"Nothing. I tried to ask her and even Uncle Solomon, but he didn't know anything either. But I'm glad to be back here nonetheless." You both smiled at each other and hugged before the boys did the same. She asked you all questions about classes and your adventures, and you all told her different anecdotes, making her laugh so hard until her cheeks had gained a rosy, healthy colour.

"Is it me or does it seem a bit more crowded this year? Or is my wand not doing its job properly?" Ominis asked with furrowed brows. You and the twins looked around, noticing how many ghosts were actually gliding and dancing around and above you.

"There are a lot more ghosts here, that's certain..." Sebastian mumbled, his height offering him an advantage as he looked over most of the heads of those around him, noticing that there were indeed more ghosts than usual.

"What's going on?" You asked as you looked around and then at Sebastian.

"I'm not entirely sure..." He whispered, looking above almost everyone else's heads curiously.

"Attention, everyone!" Professor Weasley's voice once again made everyone turn towards the podium. Seeing that everyone's attention was on her, she smiled and continued talking with a smile. "Given that tonight is Halloween and there are so many of us gathered here, I'd like to announce another special event that will be taking place shortly. You may have noticed how many otherworldly guests are here tonight. There is a good reason for that." Her eyes almost seemed to lock on your group of four and she smiled wider, almost motherly. "They have been able, in their own unique way and thanks to the latter's strong bond to Hogwarts, to help us call forth some of our former and beloved teachers who have left us too early. Mainly, Professor Fig and Mr and Mrs Sallow."

At the sound of those words, the three of you froze and felt everyone's eyes on you, whispers starting to raise in numbers. The sound of quiet voices from behind you made you all turn in that direction. At first, you couldn't see anything, though soon you heard Sebastian gasp, watching as his eyes filled with tears and his chin and lower lip trembled. Your hand involuntarily squeezed his hand and you felt him squeeze back.

The students and other ghosts moved to the sides of the Great Hall, enough to make way for the three special guests. You felt tears well up in your eyes at the sight of the transparent figure of your former mentor who was smiling, nodding and greetings those he passed by. When his eyes locked onto yours, his smile widened and you felt the tears finally slide down your cheeks as you smiled back. He stopped in front of you, looking down at you proudly with a big smile on his face.

"It's good to see you again, my young friend."

"H-Hello, Professor Fig. It's great to see you again, sir." You sniffled, unable to stop yourself from crying and wanting to hug him, despite knowing you'd go right through him. Seemingly uncaring of such trivial things, he came forward and hugged you, making you shiver at the cold feeling passing through you. But you tried to give him a hug without going through him, happy to know that he was still somehow there.

You looked to the side, seeing Anne and Sebastian crying as their parents talked with them with smiles on their faces. The twins were both red in the face from all the crying and your heart ached because of how clearly they missed their parents. But you were glad to know that they managed to see them again, even if it was after quite a while.

"Mr Gaunt! My boy, you've grown taller than me!" Professor Fig leaned back, looking at Ominis with a wide smile. Ominis smiled and bowed his head, coming to sit by you as one of his arms went around your waist, half embracing you.

"I have? That's good to know. Sebastian always tells me I'm shorter than him." You chuckled, your voice sounding watery, but you leaned into Ominis' side.

"Don't worry, this will be our secret." Professor Fig winked, making you smile.

"Mom, Dad, these two troublemakers are MC and Ominis, my best friends here." You, Ominis and Professor Fig turned around, watching the Sallow twins come to stand by you, presenting the translucent figures of their parents.

"Hello, Mr and Mrs Sallow. A pleasure to meet you." Ominis bowed politely and you nodded and smiled, watching them.

"Likewise. It's good to finally meet the two of you. Thank you for taking care of Sebastian and Anne all those years." Their praise made the two of you flush, but you smiled nonetheless. You knew that they had most probably been watching over their two children, despite not being alive for so many years already.

"By the way, who are you calling troublemakers, Sebastian? Last time I checked, you were the detention master here, not me and MC." Sebastian flushed and pouted.

"Surely your parents already know about your...reputation here, Sebastian?" His parents nodded and Sebastian pouted even more, crossing his arms over his chest and looking away with an obvious blush. Anne giggled and patted his back.

You spent the rest of the night talking with most of the invited ghosts, including Jackdaw, who was thrilled to see you doing well and still alive, especially knowing that you'd survived what had brought his early demise. Even Professor Fig and the older Sallows talked with others, students and ghosts alike, though your eyes were almost always going to them for fear that they'd disappear. You and Ominis stayed close to Sebastian and Anne, understanding that they were suffering even more since they'd lost their parents and were finally meeting them again after around 10 years.

"So... You're only here for tonight, professor?" You asked Professor Fig as you looked up at him before glancing towards Mr and Mrs Sallow as they were back next to Sebastian and Anne. He nodded, smile dimming a little.

"Until 4 AM, I'm afraid." You visibly deflated. Twenty more minutes. And from what you'd understood, their ghosts had to leave. Probably forever. This had been a special, unique opportunity. You didn't know if something like this could ever happen again.

"The witching hour, huh?" He nodded at your almost silent words, looking at you with a sad, pitiful smile.

"Sadly, yes... I could become another one of Hogwarts' ghosts, but..."

"No, no, sir... You've chosen...because of Miriam, right? And Mr Osric." Your mentor nodded. You smiled, happy to know that he could now meet those dear to him again. "I'm glad to know that you have been reunited again. I know how much you missed her..." Professor Fig smiled and nodded.

"I can see that Mr Sallow and Mr Gaunt are both keeping a close eye on you." You felt like blushing, but schooled your emotions and only smiled before glancing at the two young men in question. They were both on either side of Anne, talking with the Sallows.

"Sebastian and I have been on many adventures together... And Ominis has tagged along quite often, more out of worry for us than anything. But he's had his share of fun with us, especially when we were saving captured beasts."

"They both care a great deal about you and I can see that you care about them as well."

"They are some of my closest friends here. Along with Poppy, Natty and Amit... We've all had our share of...dangerous adventures. But we've only come out stronger in the end." Professor Fig smiled proudly.

"I know that your fight isn't over. If what the Keepers have told us is true...it will never be truly over. But I feel relieved knowing that you aren't facing everything alone. And I am very proud of you for how brave you are. For how far you've come. And for how much you're staying true to yourself. I know you'll do great things. But please, remember to also take care of yourself. Let others take care of the world and recover. Physically, mentally and emotionally." He was as caring as always, trying to take care of you and offer you advice even from beyond the grave.

"Thank you, Professor Fig... I will." You nodded. You could almost hear the minutes ticking by. He will leave soon, you thought. I won't see him again.

The thoughts made you tear up and a lump started forming in your throat. A hand on your shoulder made you tense before looking back, seeing Sebastian, Anne and Ominis, along with Mr and Mrs Sallow. The twins were both smiling, though their noses and cheeks were a little red and their eyes red-rimmed and filled with unshed tears. Ominis came to your other side and took your hand in his, with Sebastian and Anne on your other side as he held onto your other hand while also holding onto Anne's. The twins' parents stood next to your former mentor, looking at you all.

"We are very proud of you. All of you." Mrs Sallow said, looking at each one of you four. You heard Anne sniffle. Sebastian straightened up, breathing in deeply to keep himself from crting even more.

"I'm glad that you're all watching over one another and I know you'll be there for each other no matter what." Mr Sallow followed. You squeezed the boys' hands, feeling them squeeze back.

"And we will always watch over you, rest assured. You'll never be truly alone." Professor Fig smiled at all of you. You all smiled and nodded in response.

Mrs Sallow came a little closer, har hand trying to brush both of their cheeks. The tips of her fingers went through and Anne had obviously felt the coldness. The knowledge that they couldn't feel each other's touch, whether a hug or a pat on the back, made Sebastian swallow thickly.

"Sebastian... Anne... Oh, you two have grown so much... I'm so proud of you for how we'll you're doing..." Mrs Sallow whispered, visibly getting emotional. "We love you two very much. Never forget it." Mr Sallow only seemed to pull her closer as he smiled at his two children.

"You'll be okay. Both of you. We have faith in you." He added. Anne sniffled and hugged Sebastian's side tightly as he nodded, tears brimming his eyeline.

"We love you, too. Please, w-watch over us." He said with a slight stutter, biting the inside of his cheek to stop himself from bawling out like his twin sister.

"Everyone!" Professor Weasley's voice pierced through the air. "It is almost time for our guests to return. I would like to thank them once again for gracing us with their presence and for their help in allowing us to see those we've lost once more. As a final thought for those who will be leaving us... For being in our lives... For making us better versions of ourselves... For offering us advice and helping us grow up... For believing in us. Thank you." Everyone clapped, the sound echoing while a few of those in the audience cheered loudly.

Professor Fig and the Sallows all smiled at the four of you before you saw their translucent figures gradually disappear until they became as small as a pale blue match flame. They lingered for a few more seconds before the blue wisps turned even smaller and started floating away, along with the other ghosts who weren't Hogwarts residents.

It was quiet between the four of you as you stood there, stuck to the same spot almost in a daze.

"Anyone else in need of some fresh air?" Ominis asked tentatively, to which you all agreed quietly and walked out of the Great Hall, feeling a few people staring at your figures. Once outside, you sat down on the nearest benches, staring at the barely cloudy sky, watching the stars glinting on the inky sky. The air was cold enough that you could see your breath every time you exhaled.

"Are you two okay?" You asked Anne and Sebastian quietly. Sebastian was staring at the sky with a blank look on his face while Anne was wiping her nose with a handkerchief.

"I wish we had more time..." Sebastian whispered, feeling tears well up in his eyes again. You got up and came over to him, hugging him tightly as he embraced you back, soon hearing him sniffle as the top of your dress soaked up his tears.

"I know... I wish for the same thing. But it's okay. Now...we know that they're there, watching us. And we got to see them. To talk to them. I..." You licked your lips as you took a shuddering breath so you wouldn't start crying again, your fingers going through his now unruly locks while Ominis scooted closer, rubbing his best friend's back comfortingly. "I'm glad we were able to do this. It feels like a part of me is back." Anne sniffled once more before breathing in and out to clear her head. She stared at the sky for a moment before smiling and nodding.

"You're right... I never thought I'd ever see them again and now... Now I feel as if we got some sort of...closure." You nodded and kissed the top of Sebastian's head. You felt his arms tighten around you and bury his face more into your chest, seeking more of your comfort and warmth.

"Seb? Are you alright?" He had stopped crying and was only taking deep breaths. Instead of answering, he leaned back a bit, his eyes, nose and cheeks evidently red from all the crying. But he nodded, taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly.

"I'll be fine." He answered simply. "Thank you for being there for us, you two." Anne beamed at you and nodded while Ominis and you only smiled back.

"What about you, MC? How are you feeling after all this?" Anne asked you. You sighed before smiling.

"I actually feel...good. I managed to tell Professor Fig a lot of the things I didn't get to. I feel more at peace with the situation. And I'm glad he and Miriam are together once again." Anne and Ominis nodded thoughtfully, though the smiles on their faces indicated that they were relieved you were feeling better. True to your words, you seemed to be carrying yourself better now. As if you felt lighter, like a burden had been taken off your shoulders.

Sebastian embraced you once more, though he didn't start crying again. Anne came closer and put her arms around her twin brother, having him put an arm around her in response. And you pulled Ominis closer, hugging him as well. Merlin knows you all needed the comfort.

"We're going to be alright." You all nodded, squeezing the other a little tighter.

Can we just take a moment away from dumb jock Koga to appreciate the fact they are inching closer to how they look in that future Ikea "roommates" art?

ch 62

Aya is playing this way cooler than I'd have thought. Koga inviting herself over for the first time? And to study of all things? "No worries, I was completely free today." Exchanging social niceties like this is at all normal.

Oh, that's better. Her silly little "welcome to my home" hand is covering up her heart palpitations and the twin snitches are onto her too.

THEIR HANDS.

"...isn't this too much of a gap?" Koga not being good at school isn't a surprise to me. We already saw when Narita wanted to copy off her school work she hadn't even done it herself and she never seemed particularly interested in school or standing out academically. She was just going through the motions for so long. Uncle Joe's worries weren't entirely unfounded.

The real surprise is that Aya isn't that bad at school despite her appearance ("I could say the same about you...") and seems to be trying to get her act together after that earlier panic when she found out her other friends changed their minds and were going to cram school.

It seems like Koga's new interest in exams is her trying to stay beside Aya. Or to at least get a better sense of where they stand and what Aya's doing next. She got a TWO? Yeah, she's not book smart. This will lead to tears.

Aya's mom is cute. She raced up the stairs with her groceries still in hand. That's how rare this "boyfriend" event was.

She missed meeting Koga back when she walked Aya home after the concert but already got primed by the twins into thinking it was a boyfriend. Now her quick look before getting rushed out didn't help. "So cool!" At least she's ok with his her look.

It's never going to compute. Maybe not even at the wedding.

What else isn't going to compute is Koga catching up with Aya academically. Those are are a lot of X vs Os there. Hopefully she doesn't get discouraged.

Them both feeling like they are failing at their quests when they've really already won... would be exactly what they do.

Dungeon Meshi Anime Review, Season 1, Episode 7 review

Another great episode (Kabru!!! Kabru!!!)! Once more I have very little to say except that I liked it. Great animation, great music, great voice acting in both Japanese and English.

No weird anachronisms in the dub script, though I will say there were actually a few lines of dialog pertaining to the plot that were easier to understand in the Japanese subtitles, some nuance got lost in the dub but was clearer in the Japanese, and normally it's been the reverse until now.

A few more thoughts (and possible spoilers) under the cut:

I think they are being a BIT too faithful to the manga at points, they are leaving Laios' nose off and not finishing it a lot in this episode, which is something Kui did a LOT in the early manga and stopped doing later as she got more experience with drawing his character. There's no reason for the anime version's nose to just not get drawn except that they're trying to imitate the manga panels, which I think isn't necessarily great, since the earlier art just wasn't as good as the later art in my opinion.

The character designs in general have been averaged so that the designs overall look closer to Kui's end-of-manga style, so doing early manga style choices with only Laios looks weirdly out of place.

Obviously sometimes the nose is left off for comedic purposes, but it was happening in all kinds of shots in this episode, and it looked like the animators just didn't want to bother.

They cut out elements of Kabru's party's story in order to fit 3 chapters into this episode. Hopefully the missing parts will be included in the future episode when Kabru and his party return, and we'll get to see them interact, since most of the character development they get IN the story happens in those scenes.

If they just completely cut those scenes and don't include them later, it'll leave Kabru and his party really underdeveloped, as well as not telling anime viewers some worldbuilding stuff that would be really nice for them to know.

Though the animation and pacing was generally good, moving so quickly past Senshi's sadness over having to kill Anne felt like a disservice to that plot beat.

Also might have been nice to have a longer moment to focus on Senshi and Marcille bonding, though what they did was adequate.

The fight with the kraken was good, however, the nuance of "we can't attack the kraken because it's under the water and we are on top, and it can hit us from any direction but we can't hit it back" was sort of lost.

This made using waterwalk on the kraken seem to come a bit out of nowhere.

Also the kraken didn't really struggle or move after getting stuck on top of the water, which might have helped show that it wants to stay underwater and being up top like that was bad for it.

Other than that, a really solid episode.

Some predictions for upcoming episodes and adaptation choices:

Next episode will be the Falin flashback and the first undine fight and then following episode the 2nd undine fight + tentacles Then combine the frogs with the dragon planning. Maybe also the necromancy chapter? Or they put that at the beginning of the actual dragon fight episode...

OR

They just do the Falin flashback as fast as possible, and do all the parts of the undine together. So, that'd be 4 chapters in one.

Transformers: Mosaic #557 - "Loyalty Rewarded"

Originally posted on November 15th, 2010

Story - Zac DeBoard Art - Kei Tomoe Letters - Franco Villa Edits - Juan Pablo Osorio “Chopper” design - Andy Short Whirl design - Paul Vromen

deviantART | Seibertron | TFW2005 | BotTalk

Later revised and annotated for Transformers: The Lost Seasons

wada sez: The last of three Sunbow-version-of-Animated-character strips. On the Machine Wars Starscream color scheme used for Scrash, DeBoard said on Seibertron: “I believe Scrash's coloring was a way to differentiate between he and Skyquake (even though they were pretty much consdered to be the same character), as well as being a shout out to MW Screamer.” Onslaught’s seeming death here appears to be an choice, as he’s alive and well later in the Sunbow timeline—but Cattleprod points out that the Combaticons first appeared reduced to personality components after a failed coup, so presumably this is intended to lead into that, with Onslaught just heavily damaged but alive. The blue character is an OC based on the Diaclone helicopter who, in later official sources, would variously be given the names "Fumes", "Rotorbolt", and "Skyklik"—the creators of The Lost Seasons apparently used a common fan-name at the time, "Chopper". I've tagged him as Rotorbolt, because of the Wreckers connection. On the strip’s ending, DeBoard said: “Personally, I love ol Luggy and I just assume that while his body may have been destoyed, his spark survived....like they put it in a machine like they have a Garrus 9 or something.” He explained the strip’s plotting as follows: “Again, this is just "in my head" but Megs was probably obsessed with The Autobots on The Ark (at least for the moment) and didnt bother to take attendance, so to speak, and therefore didn't notice Lugnut. Another thing to keep in mind is...we were kinna working within a set continuity and trying to fit stories and characters where we can. Obviously Lugnut wasnt in G1 originally so it's a tricky thing to do. I just kinna thought it was a pretty neat way to introduce him and explain his "absence" from the show. Believe me, I try to take all of this stuff into account when I write, but if I overthink it, I'd never get anything written! Hehe. As for the faces of the "transplanted characters. It seems to be harder to translate the facial features of the TFA bots into a G1 style (for instance, I felt Lockdown's face in the Drift mini was just horrific), but I think Lugnut came out very well in this. [...] We are floating around some more stories featuring G1 Lugnut so hopefully he will be fleshed out more in later stories. Personally, I hope to bring his personality closer to the fanatic he was in TFA, which is what made him one of my favorite characters. With the space limitations of the Mosaic, we really didn't get to do a lot of it (though it was more prevalant in the script).” This strip evolved from an earlier script of DeBoard's, which went unused: “Unfortunately, I realized there was already a Mosaic piece essentially telling this same story. This one however was set in the G1 universe”—I’ve reproduced the full text below, alongside the usual Italian translation. The earlier strip with a similar idea was “False Saviour”, in case you were wondering.

Before I was little more than a thug.  Making a living by robbing those less fortunate than me.  Feeling I was destined for a greater purpose, I had applied numerous times to the Cybertron Military Academy only due be denied due to what the Head of the Academy deemed was an aggressive attitude.

This would haunt me in my future endeavors as I could find little work.

Eventually I found the Arena.

It was there than I unleashed my aggression and anger, my strength was unparalelled and I became known as the Kaon Crusher.

And, as quickly as I embraced my newfound outlet, I soon found myself longing for more.

Was this all I was meant for?  Mindlessly destroying mechs for little more than a thrill?

Blastburn lies defeated at my feet and I feel nothing.  I walk away, feeling just as beaten as my foe.

"Your designation Lugnut?"

I nod.

"It is."

"My commander has had an optic on you for over a Vorn.  He has seen your indifference and longing."

"What do you or your commander know of me?!"

"He believes he can provide you with a sense of purpose--a new life, if you will."

The blue mech (Soundwave) has my attention.

"And what do you call your glorious leader" I say to him mockingly.

"His name is...Megatron."

At the end would be a close up of Lugnut's single red optic, with an image or a shadow of G1 Megs in it.

VG: Along Came Vitani

"King Simba, as you may know, this year's Ukumbusho celebration is coming up." announced the elephant matriarch. "Indeed, it is." the King agreed. "Well, I've just been thinking about how this will be your last one as King." she then chuckled, "I remember scrambling to make your very first one perfect. We've made new traditions, and we even watched a new Lion Guard form. We've come a long way, haven't we...?" "We sure have." Simba smiled in deep thought. "I want this show to be better than the last few, something to end with a bang for you and Queen Nala." Suddenly, out of the blue, Simba gave a hearty chuckle. Ma Tembo noticed. "...Simba?" "I know the perfect way to add a little spice to this upcoming show," Simba leaned in, "Could you imagine how silly the new Guard would feel with those manes on? We should put Timon and Pumbaa in charge of art direction, to add a little torture." "You know we've since moved on from worrying too much about tradition? They don't need to make them wear those." "They don't know that." Simba grinned. "You don't think the girls will refuse?" "They're too intimidated by my authority to say 'no'." "I do prefer that we stick closer to historical accuracy, I suppose we can, your highness..." Hopefully the girls had a sense of humor, perhaps the fun event could build their bond with the elephants...

____

Vitani paced uncomfortably as the sun continued to rise. She didn't understand this whole 'Ukumbusho' hoopla she heard buzzing around the Savannah. She just knows Simba told her to get ready to do it. It must've been an endurance test of some kind. Maybe like a Mashindano? Who would be involved? She knew the word meant 'remembrance', perhaps a day to remember the fallen animals of the past? She just didn't know... She perked up as she saw Kiara making her way down from Pride Rock. She repeatedly retracted and tapped her claws on the ground in a wave pattern before getting up to catch up with her. Perhaps word from a thorough individual like Kiara would clear things up to settle her growing anxiety. "Kiara, what's this Ukumbusho Tradition I'm supposed to do? I asked your dad and he just started laughing." "It's an annual performance commemorating peace between the lions and elephants." the future queen beamed, "You're reenacting the historical peace treaty between the elephants and Askari's Lion Guard, speaking the original lines they once said, singing --" "What?!" Vitani scoffed, "Do I look like I've got a theatrical bone in my body? No..." "Come on, Vitani. You can't turn this down. Every Lion Guard has to perform in the Ukumbusho! Kion did a couple of times, and he knows he's not much of an actor, but he still had fun!" Vitani turned away and rolled her eyes, "What does Simba take my Guard for? There is no way I'm performing a musical with elephants..." "I know it sounds silly, but this will really help you and your Guard be taken seriously by the pride. I know you want to secure your place in the Circle of Life... Please...?" Kiara frowned, silently pleading Vitani. Vitani relaxed her expression and sighed. She really did want to ensure trust within the pride. "...Fine, but I'm gonna complain the whole time, and you owe me big time." The princess smiled warmly. That was a deal. She just knows Vitani can do it... ____ The Guard arrived to Mizimu Grove. Looking around at the odd display of the elephants scrambling to get their lines right as Timon and Pumbaa painted sunburst symbols on their foreheads. "Ah! The royal Guard!" the elephant leader greeted warmly, "Such an honor to have you participate in this year's Ukumbusho! We hope you've been told everything you need to know about this performance." The Guard looked at each other with uncertainty, but lied. "Sure!" Shabaha suddenly said. "Though, something's not right, here." Ma Tembo tilted her head. "What is it, ma'am?" Vitani asked, frowning. "Well, it's just that... Traditionally, oh... how do I put this? Well... the lions from Askari's time were all... lions. You know... male?" The Guard's stomachs dropped. Some gritted their teeth awkwardly. "What do you suppose we do about that?" Imara arched a brow. "Yeah, we're not exactly the most traditional Lion Guard there is." Vitani looked up at the elephant, "First all female Guard, first non-royal blood leader, first to be the older sibling of a monarch..." "I know, and I respect that." Ma Tembo nodded, "But now is the time to dip your paws into our customs." "What do you want us to do," Vitani straightened, "dress in drag?!" ____ They did just that. The sun was setting. Timon and Pumbaa took creative liberties in the girls' attire. They stitched together fake manes seemingly made out of various types of leaves -- some non-red leaves being painted in a limited amount of red paint on impulse -- and... "Wait, is that hair?" Tazama grimaced. "Well, yeah, how else are we gonna give off that convincing feel?" Timon put a paw to his hip. "Besides, we had to do something with all of Simba and Kovu's shedding mane hair! It's getting hotter out here, ya know?" added Pumbaa. The Lion Guard all exclaimed in disgust, shuddering realizing they'd all been wearing clumps of fur from other lions. Pretty soon, the afternoon had been filled with unwanted contact when placing the manes on their heads, memorizing confusing script instructions, and occasional bickering from Timon and Pumbaa. What a night this was going to be... ____ Rehearsing songs over and over, wearing disgustingly made wigs, working with animals so different from what they know. It all made Vitani seethe. She kicked at the dirt beneath her. "These elephants and their stupid traditions, needing to remind everyone bit by bit how something happened..." "Yeah, like, why not just... remember it?" Shabaha squinted, scratching at her mane until a few leaves became crinkled and fell off. "Yeah, if I have to get micromanaged over my lines again, I'll just about start a rampage." Kasi bristled. "You? You'll look funny up there, chasing big elephants like a little mongoose." Imara smirked. "Oogh, that would just ruin the show, wouldn't it?" Tazama quietly added, secretly wishing for some kind of excuse like that to pop up. She'd been withholding panic at the thought of being watched and judged by several spectators. A fear she'd developed early on in life. ...That. Right there. Tazama had struck gold. Vitani perked up, a brainstorm forming. She chuckled devilishly, grabbing the Guard's attention. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea, actually..." Vitani perched on a rock. "But... isn't this supposed to be his last Ukumbusho before he retires?" Tazama frowned. "'Retire' doesn't mean 'die', Taz." Vitani glared, "He'll watch the show go right... one day, but certainly not from us." The Guard looked intrigued now. Shabaha grinned with an unnerving emptiness in her eyes. "Yeah," Vitani nodded to herself, "They wanna laugh at us up there? We'll give them a reason to laugh. We'll make this the worst show anyone's ever seen, so we'll never have to do this show again." An uproar of cackling and cheers in approval filled the sky. ____ The moon was on the horizon. Ma Tembo took this time to check with Vitani on the Guard's rehearsal progress. She'd pulled Vitani from where the Guard was practicing, and took her to the area where the elephants rehearsed to show her what she and the Guard would be interacting with. "The royals should almost be here." Ma Tembo began as she looked at the placement of the moon. "...Are you and the Guard ready?" "I'd say we are." Vitani nodded. She hid a cunning grin as she looked to the direction of the entrance to Mizimu Grove. "Very good." the elephant closed her eyes in relief, "So good to see such an effort from the new Lion Guard to rebuild the herds' trust. I thank you for that." Vitani gulped. That was a good point. She'd forgotten how much she'd hurt the relationship between the Guard and the Pridelands' herds after being rude to them all. Of course Ngurumo provoked her first, but she still regretted her lack of control in that situation. "Heh, yeah." she finally responded with a shaky voice. ____ Vitani was conflicted, now. Was she to continue with the Guard's hijacking of the Ukumbusho, or was she to follow orders to earn Ma Tembo and the herds' trust? If she wanted to follow through with the latter, she had to fix things fast. But she just didn't know what she wanted. She cleared her throat, "Um, Lion Guard. Do you think, maybe...? Uh..." "Hey, 'Tani!" Shabaha interrupted, "I think I got my improv skills down! Was just practicing with Kasi." "I-" Vitani stammered. Speaking of which, Kasi approached with a slight frown. Imara was by her side. "Um, so Imara's voice gave out when getting ready to sing." Vitani gawked, "You didn't..." The Strongest nodded silently. "Imara, you were supposed to do the solo!" Vitani put a paw to her head, "This is a nightm-" "See, now we have an excuse to voice our protest. The stupid costumes, now the tedious singing rehearsals destroying our voices. I can't wait for this show to blow up in the elephant's faces!" Shabaha grinned. Vitani was suddenly thrown back into why they were sabotaging the play in the first place. She looked on with a scowl as a crooked grin met each ear. She was driven insane by the confusing events of the day, and it was all thanks to these elephants' traditions. One little joke wouldn't hurt the elephants, now, would it? ____ The entire pride and Ma Tembo's herd all arrived to Mizimu Grove on time, waiting patiently for the celebration to begin. They all murmured amongst themselves, proud family members of the actors about to approach. It was Kovu's first Ukumbusho. He expected a boring reenactment and at least seeing his sister up there playing the star of the show, supporting her all the way, and having something to laugh about and remind her about over and over again. He was fully unaware of what tonight's show had in store... The elephants marched forward, taking their places. Ma Tembo stood on Jukwaa Rock while her fellow elephants lined up in columns, facing each other. Mtoto played his usual role as the Strongest, holding the Branch of Peace. His mother, Mzazi, once again played the Bravest elephant, as Zito was the Keenest of Sight, and Johari was the Fastest. Suddenly, hushes silenced the crowd as Ma Tembo cleared her throat. "We would like to dedicate this performance to King Simba and Queen Nala, who made these last few performances throughout the years a special and memorable time. Without them, our yearly tradition would have ceased, but their restorations to the Pridelands have managed to bring this day of remembrance back for future generations, and have even crossed two Lion Guard teams within their reign. We honor their efforts and thank them for their leadership, as they retire later this year." ____ In the distance, dark figures listened as they hid crouched in the hills that bordered the Pridelands. They took very well to the news of the King's retirement. "Looks like the Pridelands is gonna be up for grabs, boys." said a gravelly, masculine voice. ____ "We shall commemorate the end of an era with an Ukumbusho performance with the new Lion Guard. Welcoming the era of our future Queen's reign, with our progressive casting." bellowed Ma Tembo. ____ "A queen?" the voice scoffed, "Have the Pridelands gone soft? They're making this too easy for us." ____ The Guard was starting to run a little late. Before Ma Tembo could fret, the girls descended from the top of the stage, grinning. The matriarch wiped a brow with her trunk in relief. The Guard looked to the audience and saw their fellow pride sitting within a crowd of elephants. They saw the King, Queen, and Princess smiling cordially, an amused Tiifu, and Zuri and Kovu both smirking at the Guard donning drag outfits. The Guard turned to Ma Tembo, who gave them a polite gesture to go on. The song began normally... until the Guard began to add a improvised twist to their lyrics and performance that came with it. Ma Tembo's smile dropped. Vitani mocked Simba's mannerisms by mimicking his signature grin and flicking her makeshift mane with exaggerated grace throughout the song. The girls picked up on Vitani's direction of mocking men, and began to follow suit with their own observances of stereotypical male lion behaviors: Kasi started to brag with a condescending tone, Imara overdid it with the intimidating gait and muscle flexing, and Shabaha... went an odd route -- mimicking the spraying pose males did, which resulted in Mzazi covering Mtoto's eyes from such obscenity. Tazama found herself growing overwhelmed as the sea of eyes stared her direction. She was the center of the attention, one of the stars of the show. She hid behind a paw in humiliation. Concerned, restrained laughter buzzed through the audience. Ma Tembo took notice. She scowled gravely, "They're trying to ruin the play..." "You think?!" Zito replied, incredulous. Ignoring Zito's typical rudeness, Ma Tembo blew her trunk loudly to put an abrupt end to the chaos, but to no avail. She was drowned out by the Guard still being carried away. ___ In the hills... "What kind of display of dominance is this? Look at these fatherless lions bowing to these sexist lionesses." said the gravelly voice, foolishly thinking the Guard in their attire to be real male lions. "Yeah!" said a younger male voice, "We don't even spray like that!" "Not the point." grumbled the first voice. "They're less funny than lioness comedians." said a third, monotone voice. He scratched at the scruffy, dark fur on his chin. "New plan..." the first voice began, "Forget the king stepping down, these wimps make me wanna take the Pridelands faster. I say we plan our raid soon. Very soon..." The younger male grinned while the scruffy male nodded in approval. ____ "Lion Guard! Stop at ONCE! Mtoto! Don't encourage them -- oogh!" Ma Tembo shouted to no avail. The Guard was still carried away in their act. Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, Simba erupted with laughter. Encouragement from the King caused a shockwave of laughter to overwhelm Mizimu Grove. Kovu, having gone a while without a proper laugh, cackled hard towards the sky. "Kovu!" Kiara hissed, sensing Ma Tembo's distress despite stifling her own snickers from a few of the jokes. She then looked to her friends. Zuri and Tiifu looked at each other, wide-eyed and utterly speechless, until they looked over at Kiara. They gave a shrug at Kiara in resignation. Kiara guessed this was happening, now. Eventually, cheers from everyone ended the show naturally. The Guard, not expecting such positive uproar, ceased their act as they stared on in surprise. They turned to each other, biting their lips. They then shrugged, and bowed towards the audience with smiles. Suddenly Shabaha's frail mane fell off. ____ The figures in the distance witnessed the mane fall from one of the lions. "Wait a minute..." the first male snorted, "Those are lionesses!" "I was wondering why that dude was thinning so badly..." said the young male. Ignoring the stupid comment from his cohort, the first male chuckled. "Looks like there won't be as many obstacles as we thought..." ____ Backstage, a certain elephant scowled at the Guard, who were all hunched in both submission, and still in surprise from the audience's reception. "You girls took a reenactment of peace and turned it into a vulgar, radicalizing display of division! Now the elephants think it's humorous to stereotype lions what with those offensive caricatures you put on out there!" the elephant matriarch's voice bellowed, "Have any of you got anything to say?" Vitani's mouth ran dry, "I-" "Ma Tembo! Ma Tembo!" Mtoto called as he barged in. "Mtoto?" Ma Tembo lifted her trunk. "The play was a success! Everyone loved it, especially the King!" "WHAT?!" said Ma Tembo and Vitani, in unison. "I heard they want to see the new Ukumbusho again every year, with Vitani's Guard as the stars!" Ma Tembo, unprepared for such a drastic change in tradition, and the Guard, who never wanted to take the stage again, all swooned from an overwhelming mix of emotions. The Guard made a small thud compared to Ma Tembo, who made the ground shake upon collapsing. ____ ((Author's Note: The title, plot, and a few lines are based on Mel Brooks' The Producers: "Along Came Vitani" is a pun on the "Along Came Bialy" number. When working on the plot for an Ukumbusho episode of Vitani's Guard, it dawned on me that Timon and Pumbaa would make a prevalent appearance in this episode, and for source material, I'd gathered the plot of the Producers as the voice actors for Timon and Simba (Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick respectively) played as Max and Leo in the 2005 adaptation (another thing is that Timon and Pumbaa actually referenced The Producers in TLK 2 with the "Fat, fat, FAT!" line). In earlier concepts for the past few years of toying with Vitani's Guard having their own Ukumusho episode, the Guard was originally going to begrudgingly put up with Ma Tembo's request to have them perform, and they were just gonna get over their nerves and perform normally despite the humiliation of singing and wearing silly prop manes. This was long before I stuck with making hypothetical full-on stories and around the time where I was just drawing concepts and providing context in the description. The use of the Producers-like plot of the lame play turning out successful against the protagonists' wishes added a LOT of material to work with

Speaking of years of work, some of the lines are extracted from headcanon dialogue in old conversations with friends when we first spitballed concepts for this episode. They were just too good to keep out ❤️ Lastly, you may see that I gave Mtoto's Mom a name. Mzazi means "parent", and I thought it would pair cutely with Mtoto's name meaning "child"/"baby" just feels weird seeing all the characters calling her "Mtoto's Mom" verbatim. Also, Jukwaa (meaning "stage"/"podium") is the name I decided to give the prominent rock that centers Mizimu Grove. I thought the multiple meanings would cover its purposes seen in the show. I'm just surprised such a distinct structure was never given a name in canon Weird way to start International Women's Month with the Guard acting as male stereotypes upon crossdressing, but here we are. I was unaware of the theme of the month but it's gonna keep being ironic as more gender themes are explored believe it or not lol))

[m0llystars]

just feel like saying that i genuinely cannot be grateful enough for the support i've gotten this year. i want to save the deeper thoughts for an update video that i'm planning to work on soon but so much growth has happened this year for my own following and community, and to think that there are so many people already who want to actively support me in what i want to do, means so much.

art and content creation feels like the exact kind of thing i am more than happy with spending my foreseeable future on. i have had so many revelations about where i want to go, how i want to handle my future, what i need to do to improve my current situation, and i feel like i don't want anything more in this life other than to just have a place of my own, and be left in peace to take care of myself and do what i love doing most. i say this knowing that this is a very common aspiration for people in general but, that aspiration stands nonetheless. everything i do, every video, or song, or just Thing that i make, it feels like it brings me ever closer to reaching a much more ideal situation than the one i'm currently in. i don't know how long it will take to get there, still, but i can say with confidence that this year is a huge step towards that.

to hopefully another year that'll take me just as, if not even further than this one. but even if not, even the slightest step forward counts to me

LAST POST OF 2023 (A disclaimer, next few paragraphs is just me talking about life in general so feel free to skip if you like to)

Hi, my name is Kay. Though many of you here know me simply as “O” (it was kind of a pun for closer moots, cuz K.O.) But I don’t mind going by either, or K.O. for that matter.

Anyways, this year has been eventful, to say the least. It had its ups and it had its downs. I’m trying to figure out what to write here, actually. Got Covid for the first time, went to MoNH for the first time in forever, got to laugh with friends, lost a loved one, celebrated my 24th birthday, did Paint Night for the first time, got up to 22 chapters (hopefully 23 soon) of a long going passion project I hope to complete in the future.

I won’t lie, this year was nowhere as great as last year, both on my platform and in person. Now I try to avoid complaining about this a lot but my Instagram account took a blow this year, whether it was due to the algorithm changing or my lack of motivation, likely both. My account is my passion, I’ve been raising it since 2016 and when it tanked this time, it was really concerning because by this time I would somehow bounce back and I never did, I still never did. I would also like to mention that it wasn’t just me that got hit, but other fellow artists as well and for those guys if you’re reading this, this is for you: Never give up on your art, your writing, or just passions in general(unless they cause harm on yourself or others). The lack of exposure can be daunting, trust me it feels terrible, but it will never change how great an artist you are.

As for my personal life, I won’t get into much detail but for those that know, a really big thing happened earlier this year and it really impacted me. It was also a reality check for my health because I wasn’t taking care of my body and I was making myself scared about it and it just felt like a never ending cycle. I’ve been trying to make healthier choices, I take meds now again for my hyperlipidemia, exercise more(which I gotta get back on since I stopped when I got Covid) and cut back my calorie intake. Not only has it dropped my cholesterol(which is the main goal) but I was able to lose almost 30 pounds since the end of May(which will also help lower my cholesterol). I’ve been treating my anxiety as well and it has been much better than it was from late October to mid November when it took a nosedive from getting sick constantly. Right now, I think I’m in okay phase of my life, just working and trying to draw and write as much as I can. I wanna thank those who stuck around this year, I wish I could’ve posted more art and chapters, but hey, always room for this year.

Ghosts

Drarry, rated G.

Most days they're fine; busy with work and life, their friends and family. They drink their coffee in a rush, lips barely brushing cheeks before they're out of the house swallowed by the green Floo flames. On those days they come back late, well into the evening hours, bone tired but satisfied with what they did; Harry as a Professor at Hogwarts and Draco as a Healer at St. Mungo.

Those days come and go, one after the other. Harry doesn't count them, doesn't think about them, a routine they've established over the years.

But. 

But.

There're days when Harry wakes up with Draco already watching him, soft grey eyes mapping Harry's face. He smiles, but it doesn't reach beyond the lips. He doesn't say anything.

"Hi," says Harry, groggy and still sleepy. He shuffles closer to Draco, allows to be wrapped in a hug, and tangles their feet. He can hear Draco's heartbeat, the unasked question.

Harry has discovered over the years that Draco’s anxiety comes and goes, like waves of the ocean. Except when they reach the shore they’re tall like a building, seemingly eclipsing the Sun and they carry one question, always. “Aren’t you exhausted yet?”

It’s not a question of physical exhaustion - they’re in their thirties and still in their primes - but the question is of an exhaustion of somebody.

Harry hugs Draco closer, rummaging through his slightly sleeping brain. When they started dating - officially, but unofficially they’ve been together for months – the wizarding world erupted with questions. They had to barricade themselves in Grimmauld for two weeks. People would accuse Draco of poisoning Harry, keeping him under non-stop Imperio which Harry always laughed off, would see the worst in him. Draco kept the anxiety at bay and in true Malfoy fashion kept it where nobody could see: deep inside. 

But the waves finally reached the shore on Harry’s 30th birthday, hours before his surprise birthday party organised entirely by Draco, but not attended by him. Right after blowing the candles, using friends Harry hasn’t seen in months as an excuse, Draco quietly hyperventilated in one of the bathrooms, staring at The Prophet article that compared all his flaws to all strengths of Harry’s ex-es.

Harry found him after midnight, red eyed and shivering on the cold floor, and when he first heard the quiet “Aren’t you exhausted by me?” for the first time his heart broke. 

Harry tightens his hold on Draco - his best friend, lover, future husband (hopefully) and ex-nemesis - and rummages through his brain, looking for the trigger. They’ve been fine, even more than. Draco was finally made The Head Healer of the Dark Arts Spelldamage ward last week, Harry finished another year at Hogwarts and they were looking forward to the summer, so then why–

Draco kisses the top of Harry’s head and inhales. “Sorry,” he says, only for Harry’s ears. “I got a letter from my father yesterday.”

Harry freezes. There’s a reason they don’t talk about Lucius; in Azkaban for life, hating his family who has moved on with every fibre of his being. They can pretend he never existed but they can’t actually stop him from writing to his only son.Harry leans back and gently cups Draco’s face. His grey eyes are shining while his cheeks are blotched with red. Harry hates it, he truly does, what one letter can do to Draco. He hates how other people's opinions can derail him for months. With a thumb he wipes the tears gathering in the corners of his eyes, traces the barely-there-but-soon-out freckles on his cheeks that only he gets to see. He says the only way he can: with truth he whispered all those years ago, in a barely lit bathroom to a shaking and crying Draco. “I’ll never get exhausted by you. Tired? Yes. But never exhausted.”

[thatmooncake]

hi hi!! i saw your reblog of your therapist au art and noticed in the tags that you dont mind answering questions. i hope its alright if i ask you one or two!!

so, you mention in the background section of the au that moon was used to trap souls inside dreams (or something similar to that.) will that be addressed in the future?? i feel like thats prime material for angsty stuff and moon feeling bad about what happened in the past :< not to mention the whole fazbear entertainment thing lending you the therapy bots and them linked to dream experiments is shady (as per usual with fazent.)

(also not as important, but is the whole "trapping souls" thing a reference to somniphobia, the book in the tftp series?? i actually havent read the story personally, but from a brief summary, im getting those same vibes lol. could be entirely a coincidence, but if not, thats cool either way!!!)

and on a more lighter note, can they eat stuff in this au? if so, id love to know their favorite ice-cream flavors! its a weird question to suddenly ask but for some reason this au is giving me "its a summer night, im up way too late, and im eating ice-cream when i shouldnt" type of vibes

anyways!!! im sorry i think i rambled too much but i love your guys' au, and yall's artwork!! cant wait to see more of it, hopefully in the future!

(p.s. unrelated but i thought moon,,,had the bisexual colors in his irises,,,)

Ooh yay hihi I love AU asks!

So! The dreamscape is going to play a big part in the therapy bots AU, and the angst and drama is very much ongoing - it might seem like fun and games at first exploring the therapy themed concepts, but you’re absolutely right, there are massive Somniphobia style undertones there. Moon’s dreamscape is designed to pull you in and it can be addictive and …energy consuming. Or should we say life force consuming?

Moon meanwhile? He feels closer to you in the dreamscape than in the waking world …at first. All the souls he steals become a part of him, in a sense. Remnants of them continue to float around in the dreamscape if you look hard enough, like when you start peeling back the wallpaper of a new house that used to belong to someone else. For the longest time Moon has not really been able to interact in the real world, and honestly most people in the dreamscape very rarely interacted with him either up until the very end, being far too wrapped up in exploring the vast dreamscape which moulds itself around their wants and needs. He’s been kind of used to his role as a passive observer, or a creature without much identity at all. But this time around, because you think he’s a therapy bot, he’s a part of the action. He’s actually being played with. This is unusual for him, and his feelings get a little more muddied over time.

Sun and Moon can absolutely eat in this AU - it was one of their ill-advised “upgrades”. And as the three of you start sharing some soul energy - uhhh, bond with each other more closely, they start to gain the strangest senses too. Senses they’ve never had before, like smell and taste. And they do not know what to make of this. But they do know that Sun likes neapolitan flavour (don’t ask him to pick just one, they look so pretty together!) and Moon likes mint chocolate chip flavour (yep you heard me, mint is good). And that having ice cream late on a summer night is what it’s all about (well, ask Sun about that one - Moon thinks you ought to be sleeping, but he’ll allow it this one time).

Never apologise for rambling I love rambling :D (also everyone who’s mentioned all the pride flag colours you are absolutely correct Sun and Moon say gay rights)

HUNTER X FUTURE COVEN HEAD

NOT MY ART

First meetings

I walked through the long, dark corridors, wondering where the ever loving fuck my room was. Everything seemed the same and I couldn't make sense of the sistem they used while building this place. It seemed impossible to navigate through, especially at night, when all of the, slightly helpfull, lights were of.

"What are you doing here?" A unfamiliar voice said, speaking from my right with an annoyed tone. Turning my head, I saw the golden guard leaning againts the wall. "And who are you?" He asked, stepping closer as i baked up. I must seem as a threath to him, since he doesnt know, and possibly has never heard of me.

"The names Y/N, future coven head of (coven of choice). I got lost." I said, puffing my chest to assert dominance, still taking a step back every time he tries to get closer. He stopped. "Lost? What room are you supposed to be in?" He said, stepping back as if to give me space.

"I'll help you find it so you stop wondering around the place at night" He added, clearly becoming impatient with my hesitation. All i could do was nod and follow after him.

He led me through multiple hallways, each being no different then the other. Everything was silent except for the sound of our footsteps that echoed through the air. The golden guard was a few steps up front, walking at a fast pace as if to avoid anyone seeing us together. "Rude" I taught to myself, trying to come up with a topic to pass the time. "So uh.. You look pretty beaten up. Back from a mission?" I spoke, observing his clothes from behind and hoping for a response. Silence.

Had I looked away for only a second I would have missed it. He gave the tiniest nod, not even looking back at me. "It was successful, I hope" Despite the awkwardness of the situation I forced a smile on my face, fastening up my pace to mach his. He didn't nod this time, just lowered his gaze before comming to a stop and turning around sharply. "Oh he's MAD" I taught to myself, preparing to get yelled at, or perhaps have a fight.

"Here's your room" He said coldly, before turning the other way and starting to walk to what I can assume is the direction to his room. "Oh.. Thank you! Have a good night!" I called out, hopefully not waking anyone up.

I started my morning just as usual.

Wake up

Fix hair

Get dressed

Head to the training room

As I entered the large, light up room, a rather familiar voice spoke "Hello" My eyes widened, seeing the golden guard in the room, standing in the middle as he held his staff. "Y/N, you will face the Golden guard today. Consider it a test." Looking above, towards the seating area, I could see my mentor watching with a smile. "If you manage to take the Golden guards staff in the next.." They poused, looking at their watch as if thinking it though. "10 minutes, I will consider you strong enough for more advanced lessons" I perked up at the words, turning to the Golden guard and eyeing the staff in his right hand. "Begin" My mentor spoke and I imidiatly started attacking my opponent, trying to grab at the staff every chance I had.

"ENOUGH" My mentor yelled, their voice shaking the room. The ten minutes have passed. I failed. Not letting the two see my disappointment, I held my head high and offering my hand to the winner. "Good match.." My voice came out shaky and unsure but he didn't seem to notice. Or perhaps he didnt care. We shook hands, parting ways the same second.

"Good job Y/N! That was your one chance to get to into the advanced lessons" My voice rang through the corridors as I walked back to my room, ignoring all the guards on their shifts that gave me weird looks. Finally, I made it back. Just a few more steps. "Y/N" Someone called out from behind me. Someone I taught I wouldnt have to see for the rest of the day, hopefully week. Luck wasnt on my side today.

Stopping right in front of the door, I considered just going inside and ignoring him. Maybe. Probably. "Hey" He said, now much closer then before. Guess there goes the idea of ignoring him.

"Need something?" I asked, voice comming out more irritated then I intended it to. "Good match" He said, putting out his hand, waiting for me to take it. All I could do was nod, not yet over the recent failure I have experienced, and shake his hand weakly.

He stared at me for a minute. A very long, dead silent, awkward minute. "We can train more, so you get into those lessons" He finally said, no emotion in his voice. I stared at him, confused as he just kept starting at me through his mask, waiting for an answer.

Finally breaking out of my trance I nodded with a smile. We discussed the details of when and where we would meet for my secret training before parting ways once more. I closed my door, waiting for his foot steps to fade away, before sinking to the floor.

All of my previous emotions suddenly came crashing down onto me, and all I could do was sit there and sob.

Once everything calmed down I washed myself up and went outside the room. "Perhaps a good ol' walk would cheer me up" I taught out loud amd started walking towards what I hopped to be the way to the outside. I didn't find the way outisde.

Hower, I did find a beautiful garden. It was full of diferent flowers and plants, each hitting me with a special, beautiful scent. I found myself craving to see more of it, and started walking towards the middle as my hand brushed on the close by flowers. Once in the middle, I sat down, slowly inhaling the mixtures of smells as my body relaxed, and my mind finally felt at peace.

"This should have been my room" I smiled as my voice rang though the room. "Hello" again? Looking over my shoulder I spot the Golden guard watching me with cation as he closes the door. "Hey" I say, voice quiet. Turning back around, I close my eyes, listening to the slow and loud footsteps.

"You know this room is restricted?" He asks, sitting down next to me. "No?" No response. Both of us sit there, for what feels like hours, in total silence.

"Get up" he says in a hushed tone, pulling me up by the upper arm. I dont dare to speak as the voices outside become louder and louder. Pulling me with him towards a, in leaf covered, area, we both hide, praying that whoever is outside wont notice our presence.

Footsteps can be heard as the door opens and two guards step inside. We both hold out breath, watching the two walk around is if trying to find something. "Noones here" one guards voice echoes quite loudly, disturbing some of the plants. "Look, she said someone went inside so we have to check" This time the voice is quiet, minding those around them.

A hand pulls me closer in the already tight space. My eyes wander up, meeting those of the Golden guard. He puts a finger up to his mask, whete his mouth would be, and signals to be as quiet as possible. I dont even dare to nod as one of guards come way to close for comfort. "They're gona see us" My mind is racing with thoughts as the guard brushes his hand along the leaves that are covering us. "Ugh lets just leave" They speak, voice so close its left ringing in my ears for a dew seconds. "Alright fine" The other one speaks and they bothmake their way to the door. "Just hope we dont get in trouble for not "Properly searching" the place" On laughs as the door finally closes and their footsteps become distant.

I feel his arms let go of me as he struggles to get out of the tiny space. Once were both out I let out a silent laugh as he stares at me in confusion. "Why are you laughing? We could have been in big trouble" All i can do is shake my head as I try to calm down from the recent events. "Sorry, sorry. Im just glad we didnt" He stares at me for a second longer before turning away. "Lets leave, before whoever send them comes check it out for themselves" My response is a silent "mhmm" as we make our way to the door.

He leeds me back to my room, even as I insist I know the way. He stares at me again, before finally taking of his mask. "See you next trining" He speaks before turning away and leaving me to stand there, mouth agape, with the image of his beautiful face still in my head.

"For the first time in a while, I actually look forward to that" My voice is merely as whisper as I open the door and walk inside my room, already daydreaming about our next meeting.

the luck of the rabbit

cast: y (golden child) x gn!reader

wc: 437

genre: fluff, comfort

warnings: mentions of being tired, barely proofread

notes: 새해 복 많이 받으세요! a late happy lunar new year—consider this a little gift. life's been very busy but fun lately, but i hope i find more time to write in the future, haha. the banner is mine, btw. (also, rabbit. bunny. whatever. still thought of sungyoon when i saw what year we were celebrating.)

you opened a new page in your sketchbook, and put pencil to paper for the first time in a few days. your grip was light on the pencil, as if you were letting it move of its own accord, merely following its will.

after about 15 minutes, the page was no longer blank, but filled with a large rabbit and a variety of other doodles. how freeing it was, to stay in your room, draw and forget about stress for a while.

you felt a pair of arms wrap around your shoulders and you glanced upwards with a smile. "sungyoon! when did you get back?"

"only a few minutes ago. the bakery was quite busy today, but that makes sense when it's the day before seollal."

"i'm sure you're happy that it's finally the year of the rabbit?" you joked. amongst your friends, everyone liked to joke that his features were rather bunny-like, especially when he smiled.

"of course!"

you ruffled his hair with one hand, pencil in the other. “i can't wait to celebrate with you and your family. i've missed seeing them!"

work had been busy lately, and although you enjoyed your job for the most part, you still needed to rest, but also, reflect on everything that had happened to you in the last 12 months. you were more than happy to start over and welcome the new year with open arms.

hopefully, spending time around your chosen family would raise your spirits.

sungyoon glanced at the intricate drawings in your sketchbook in awe. "wow, this is really beautiful. i remember that my cousins really loved your art—they smile so much around you."

you beamed with pride. "i'm glad. i'd be happy to draw some more for them!"

he motioned for you to sit beside him on your apartment couch, and gently laid his head on your shoulder, letting out a content sigh of relief.

"doing errands really tires you out at the end of the day," he said, and you couldn't help but giggle a little. you stroked his back fondly.

"let's just stay here a little while longer then."

he yawned and pulled you closer to him. "hey, can i take a picture of that rabbit drawing of yours later? for luck."

to that, you chuckled. "you're enough luck for the both of us, sungyoon."

the red lanterns scattered around the house, your sketchbook, the thought of delicious glass noodle stir fry, memories of the people you loved (including the one with his head now in your lap)—all of these would carry you into the year of the rabbit and hopefully beyond.

[theoutcastedartist]

hey! just curious, is the shadowlight au cancelled? totally ok if it is, I just wanna know if i should keep my eye out for it! (sorry if you posted about this and i just missed it!)

SHFJSAJFS YOURE GOOD! NO WORRIES!

The AU is still on-going though it's closer to say that it went on an unexpected hiatus due to me making the mistake of watching a Lego Monkie Kid compilation of Macaque (and from there lmk has sunken its claws into me and has refused to let go dhshsj)

I mean look at this goofy ass creature

He is very scrimbly bimbly shaped fhsjsjajs

Speaking of LMK, I have Anathema AU art to upload after I answer this ask ghsjajsjdba

I had planned for the next page to be out before the end of January...you can see how that went given that it's now the middle of March lmao

I have the next two pages sketched and planned out, I just haven't gotten to finishing it due to my own silliness lol

But now that Season 4 of LMK is out, I can get back to working on the comic, hopefully sooner rather than later. I just gotta re-teach myself how to draw sonic characters again first.

Also, for those who don't know, reason I chose to make a comic for my Sonic Boom AU specifically, rather than any other AU, is because it's one of those interests I ALWAYS come circling back to. I tried to do a comic with Mao Mao, but I ended up losing interest in the show eventually.

The au comic is also meant to be practice for myself for storytelling through comics since one of my series, The Gift from Paradise, might become a web comic series down the line in the distant future. Also, I have a full time job on top of everything (and planning to start college in a couple months lol)

So yeah, the ShadowLight AU is still happening, just VERY VEEEERRRY slowly because I am an absolute fool. I wouldn't keep too close of an eye on it for now.

BUT when I am closer to finishing the pages, I'll make a post announcing a rough estimate of when they'll be posted.

Thanks for sending the ask!

You woke up at the sound of your dishes moving of the clinking of dishes shuffling around. Your heart started pounding.

This isn’t real. This isn’t real. This isn’t real.

You slowly opened up the drawer from the side table next to your bed and grabbed the taser you had just in case. If your suspicions are correct, you don’t need it, but you also wish it were just a dream.

You slowly creep out of bed with the taser firmly in your hand as you quietly step over to your door. You placed your hand on the handle and turned, opening the door quickly and jumping out of the room, taser in fighting position, as you saw what you expected but not necessarily what you wanted to see.

Lucifer.

“What are you doing?” He asked casually, obviously judging you.

You sighed as your shoulders slumped over, and your posture turned into a slouch rather than a fighting stance. “I was hoping someone robbed me, and all of this was some bad dream,” You groaned.

Lucifer’s facial expression looked annoyed and almost offended. “You would prefer being robbed than having me here?”

“Well, wouldn’t you? Then you’d be at home and don’t have to deal with whatever is going on here,” You complained to him, raising your hands in an annoyed and frustrated gesture. But then, you realized you were only in sweats and an oversized t-shirt with a taser in your hand. You didn’t know when it was until you looked at the clock in your living room.

8 AM.

“Dude, why do you have to wake up so early? I could be sleeping for another 4 hours at least. It’s my day off!” 

Lucifer just rolled his eyes and decided to ignore your comment completely, “I made breakfast. Eat so we can leave.” He said in almost a demanding tone, pushing the plate with eggs and toast on your counter closer in your direction.

You looked at the plate in confusion. That’s why you heard the dishes. No one has ever done this for you before. That is weird. “Oh, uh,” You stuttered slightly. “Thank you. I'll put the taser away.”

“Good idea.”

Eating breakfast was deathly silent. You tried sparking up conversations, but Lucifer only ignored you. He still offered to clean your plate after you finished. He didn’t like you; he despised you, but this was what he knew. An organized time for breakfast, the person in charge, and dishes. It was supposed to be his day. It felt weird not going through with it. And also not having to make enough for six other people. He didn’t like that.

After he took your dish to clean it, you got up to return to your room and get dressed for your outing. But, first, you just needed to go to the library and hope you could find something as fast as possible to put the stupid little demon back into your phone.

You leave your room and grab your wallet, seeing Lucifer on the couch looking impatient and bored. “Do you not have your phone with you?”

He sighed, “It did not come with me.”

You felt pretty bad for him. You’d love to give him one, but you can’t afford that. You could barely afford your one-bed, one-bath apartment. Life for him might have been easy in the Devildom, or at least your phone, but it will be a bit more complicated.

“We’ll stop by a Target or something and buy you some clothes with whatever leftover cash I have so you have a change of clothes for however long you’ll be here. Hopefully not too long,” You explained to Lucifer. You were expecting him to object, but he simply nodded and stood up, ready to leave. But you stopped him. “You can take off the coat,” You pointed at the coat that lay atop his shoulders with a giant fluff around the collar. “It’s summer, and I don’t want you to die of heatstroke. That’d be awkward.”

You didn’t mean to say that last part in front of him. It was just a force of habit. “Awkward?” He asked with an irritated tone. “How is me dying, just awkward?”

“Look, it’s a habit of mine just to ignore it, take off your coat, and get in my damn car,” You groaned and stormed out of your apartment, waiting a bit for him to follow. Instead, he shrugged off his coat with an eye roll and followed you swiftly. His legs were longer than yours, so it was easy for him to follow. Maybe it’s because he was a demon that made him so tall, but it was a little bit intimidating when you seemed so tiny next to him.

Getting in your car that was just getting you by had also brought some confused glares from Lucifer. He didn’t have to be so judgemental, you thought. But, then again, you’re just some stranger trying to make it by while he was one of the most powerful demons. A weird change of pace for him, possibly.

“Don’t judge me; you’re making me self-conscious,” You started the car, your heart speeding up slowly.

“I think I’m open to judging you as much as I’d like since I shouldn’t be here in this first place,” He buckled his seatbelt and crossed his arms.

You slap the steering wheel. “I know, I’m sorry!” You shout, looking over at him.

“Sorry won’t take me back home, will it?” Lucifer turned to face you back, his aura darker and more threatening. You chose to remain silent and drive to the destination. You knew this was a battle you couldn’t win.

++++

After buying Lucifer some casual clothes, you chose to head to the library. Hopefully, it wouldn’t be too hard to find the book you needed quick until you got called into work.

“Okay, so, change of plans,”

“No,” Lucifer sternly stood his ground as you stood outside the library. “We will find me a way back home, and you are not changing that!”

Wow, Lucifer was fucking terrifying. “I got called into work, and I need this job. Unless you want to be homeless with me or have nothing to eat, you need to let me work,” You explained. “Please let me do this, it’ll only be about four hours, and then I’ll be back to pick you up. Just don’t cause trouble, okay?”

Lucifer scoffed. “I’m not my brothers.”

You smiled. “Good. I’ll be back soon, I promise you.” He just gave you a slight nod and walked into the library. He complied, but you could tell he only did to skip any of the complex parts, so he didn’t have to deal with whatever was happening anymore.

You rushed to the call center where you worked. It wasn’t incredible, but it was a full-time paying job that was a bit higher than minimum wage, so you kept it. As soon as you arrived, you rushed to your cubicle. The faster you got your work done, the quicker you could get out of there. You weren’t going to lie to yourself; having Lucifer alone in the public library scared the living shit out of you. You wanted to get back to him immediately.

++++

You prepared for your last call. Afterward, you would rush to find Lucifer and hope to find him okay. And finally, your phone rang. “Hello, this is MC speaking; you reached the call center. How may I help you?”

“Where’s Lucifer?” The person's other line got straight to the point, with a poor connection and grainy sound to their call.

Your eyes widened. “Who are you?”

“Answer my question first.”

“I’m not going to tell a stranger the location of someone.”

You weren’t expecting to be arguing with someone over your phone, especially someone asking about your fictional demon friend.

“My name is Solomon,” He introduced himself. “And if you don’t bring Lucifer back, we will find you and take care of you ourselves.” Then the line cut off.

Solomon. We?

Are they all here?

As fast as you could, you clocked out and ran. 

Rushing to the library and barging inside the quiet place, you immediately spotted the calm man in the back of the library. He had a pen and paper in front of him, glasses on his face as he stared intently at the book.

You ran to him immediately, disregarding that you weren’t supposed to be running inside, and quickly sat beside him, startling him. “What is it?” He faced you, a tiny bit irritated by your entrance but somewhat confused with the bright smile on your face.

“Solomon is here, and I think so is everyone else. He called me at my job, and I mean sure, he threatened to kill me, but that means we can find you a way back with them!” You excitedly explained. “And you can see your brothers again.” You added you're breathing a little heavy from the running and adrenaline.

You couldn’t read the expression on Lucifer’s face, but he immediately closed the book in front of him and stood up. He folded up his paper neatly, put it into his pant pocket along with his pen, and let his glasses hang on his vest. No words, he just returned the book to where he got it from and left it in your car.

“Aren’t you happy?” You followed him, needing to speed walk to stay at pace with him. “You don’t seem very happy.”

“I’m fine,” He sighed.

Of course, the big broad man isn’t going to open up. You sighed in return, knowing immediately that his words were a lie. “Yeah, whatever you say.”

[beyondtheseaofstars]

amber appreciation day!! mainly because of boredom but also i’ve just been feeling this urge to make these lol.

we haven’t been friends for very long but i’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of our conversations. i feel like you are the first person i’ve met whose had a similar music taste to me lol. normally i don’t go around telling people the artists or songs i listen to on a day to day basis but every time i’ve seen your discord spotify status, i would always look at it and be like “wait- i know this artist/song!! i love this artist/song”.

like i’m fairly certain the first proper convo i had with you was about songs like sana ako na lang and other variations of niji, holo or indie vtubers, which i never really talk about with people who aren’t my irl friends lol. before that i think i only really heard about you from conversations with cyrus and rin so ig i had no real expectations besides ‘tlos fan and really nice person’.

which i mean, both of those statements are very true but also i’m just very glad to have gotten to talk with you more often and learnt more about you. not to mention the fact that we’re literally in the same timezone (again…weirdly very rare for me lol-) and our love for skylene <333 and oh my gosh your art style is to die for. literally it’s so prettyyyy. i can’t wait for the opportunity for us to all roleplay and possible even vc together if i get the chance in the future and hopefully we can be closer in the future. here’s to making more memories <33

gift ;;

THANK YOU SO MUCH AAAAAA <33

This is the best start of my day ever (and I mean that 100%)!! ^^ and you're very kind omg, I'm actually going to cry-

Me too, our conversations have always been really nice for me. I'd love it for us to talk more together :)) Again, same here! I never thought I'd find someone who also listens to so much of what I listen to, and honestly, it's amazingg. (Whenever you dm me about a song, I get so unreasonably excited that you know it too-)

I believe it was, yeah! I know I've been saying this a lot at this point, but me too lol. Finding someone online who knows and watches vtubers, and also a lot of stuff I'm into as well, is so cool! No but same?? 😭 Prior to the vtuber convo, I always heard of you from Cyrus and Rin too- Every time I hear about you, I've always been like "ooh, they sound really cool :0".

thank youuu <33 I'm also glad to be friends with you! ^^ I know lol (same, like, so far you're the only person I've met in my timezone-) and yess, we love Skylene here <33 ty tyy!! I've always loved all your mood boards! I can't wait either; you, Rin, and Cyrus seem so fun to roleplay withh. Ooh, I'm also excited to get the chance to vc with you sometime, since the one time we all vc-ed was like, awfully late at night and you and I were muted. Hopefully so!! here's to making more memories together! <33

#THIS IS AMAZINGG MNBDSVJMBSDV #YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO ME <33 #HANDS DOWN BEST START OF MY DAY EVER #(I'm really sorry this is a bit late—I just woke up lmao)

Derpy (& Kobold) Summer!

Hey Everyone!  I was somehow able to get a couple of cute swimsuit drawings out as a gift for you guys for my Birthday!  Sorry for the lack of Out of Work Derpy Comic updates in a while.  I’m probably gonna have to put the Comic on a bit of a Hiatus for the time being while I work on an outline for the final chapter.  I’m having some major writing block and being super busy in real life hasn’t helped either.  I think I'm gonna have to work backwards a bit to make this make sense to me.  Still gonna try to update some art when I can and more concept art for Kobold Express too.  I’ll keep you guys updated when I get closer to starting to upload the last arc of Out of Work Derpy.  I also might try to do some experimental things with the comic layout for this last arc so bear with me if things look a bit different but if I can pull off what I want to do I think it will be pretty cool!   Also a few other things I wanted to mention, I’m hoping to find some time to create a website for hosting Out of Work Derpy, Kobold Express, and any future comics on that is away from tumblr.  Don’t worry I’m still gonna post on tumblr but I want my own central hub and ever since the tumblr exodus a few years back and tumblr doing “updates” things haven’t been working right here with navigation and stuff.    Also updated my Twitter handle please check me out at twitter.com/Christomancer!  Thank you for being patient and hanging on with me!  Hopefully I’ll have more art for you all soon!
