Happy WBW! What does coming of age look like in your world? At what age is someone an adult and what does being an adult mean? Are there ceremonies to mark this, less formal social shifts, or just a legal change?

in my main fantasy world, the different cultures have different ways of coming of age.

in Dracon, people come of age essentially when they bond with a dragon (there are a few exceptions, of course, sometimes people don't bond with a dragon at the proper time). This happens at around 13, I think (maybe older), & although they're still in school (but now the special boarding school) they've got some adult privaliges like voting

For Oranth, there's a coming-of-age ceremony at the solstice festival, where everyone whose fifteen becomes of age. This is becoming less relevant (honestly, the solstice festival is becoming less relevant. Some people are getting married having never attended one), but it's still the main coming-of-age thing. (even if some people still have to go to school for a bit after because of the weird way school is in Oranth)

In Rakan, the traditional way to come of age (at least in noble families) is to defy your parents. Basically you've gotta be more powerful than them to officially come of age, at least in those circles. Elsewhere in Oranth, people are usually considered to be of age after 16, once they've graduated from school.

thanks for the ask!

i am also in shark week and i am also going insane over sub!elrond girl wtf 😭 (also i can't quite remember the title i think it's catharsis?? but @sanisse has a really good sub!elrond one shot u might enjoy)

It's a plague I swear, this man is infecting our minds but nooooo like imagine

He's just lying on the bed, face flushed, his hair a mess and his lips parted as he pants. You're on top of him. Hand resting on his chest for stability as you rock your hips searching for that perfect spot, and he's just *begging* "please, my starlight, take what you need, my love I'm yours, I'm yours, I swear I'll be good."

And you're just ???? fucking grabbing his hair and pulling him up to kiss you, a mess of tongue and teeth as he finally loses control and fucks up into you like a man possessed. His hands on every inch of your body, as he whines your name, begging you to touch him, to fuck him, to let him make you feel good, because he's just such a good boy, and he wants you so, so badly

I just hqwjwnnfpj I'm gonna go feral over this man

Anyway, ur monkees amv and especially the bit where u reversed the footage??? Uuuummm pure stroke of genius, I am giving you a fraternal kiss 💕🫡 I totally stole ur idea for my own video

-🪺

OMGGGG this made my night <3 tysm!! that song is like the thesis of head (and basically the monkees as a whole) to me and the idea of time and how it relates to them as a group likeeeeee. the whole thing technically only lasted a few years but seemed like a lifetime because all their time was consumed by Monkees Things. and then it was over but it wasn't. they kept coming back and coming back and then they died as monkees like they never escaped.

i could evidently go on about this for hours but i'll stop there lol. i'd love to see ur video also 👀 monkees amvs are so special to me. ty again and mwah!! <3

Imagine them living in some random subway tunnel

#submas #taking the subway and quickly passing by a normal ass door with a mailbox in the middle of the tunnel #imagine the fever dream of going from subway into just a normal apartment or out again #from an outside perspective: “bye! good work today. were heading home now :)” *walks into a dark tunnel that seemingly goes on for miles* #tmnt style where they just appear from random ground lids that connect to the tunnels like hello :< hi :> scampers out and doesnt adress it

Can you write about when the reader passes out and gojo gets a little anxious cuz before he was stressed about reading stuff online and hes a little worried but then she gets up and everything’s fine? Please

you wince when you come to, the lights of your bedroom blinding you.

“sweetheart, hey, you okay?” satoru immediately pulls you close as soon as as you regain consciousness. your head pounds, and your stomach rumbles—overall you don’t feel well at all.

“satoru—why—”

his lips form into a thin line. “you passed out. you freaking passed out on me right after i arrived home.” he let out a frustrated sigh, and only now you see how worried he is as he soothingly runs his fingers on your hair. “you know, that might be a sign of terminal illness—”

your eyes widen. “what?!”

“they said when you suddenly faint out of nowhere, it can be a sign for stage three of cancer!”

“who is ‘they’?!”

“this.” he shows you the bright screen of his phone with such serious expression it almost convinces you. and the more you read the article, the more your heart move to your throat.

“b-but… i—” if you hadn’t just woken up, you would know that the article is honestly irrelevant to your situation. “satoru… i don’t want to die…”

“—!!! no! of course not! i won’t let you! i’ll raise you from the dead myself if i have to!”

and much later, you suddenly remember what made you pass out in the first place—

you were waiting for satoru to come home so you can have dinner together, but he said he had to wait in a long line to get his favorite mochi’s new flavor… and you were incredibly starving as you waited for him that you passed out🤦🏻‍♀️

“you…” you are so exasperated, but then your husband sheepishly pushes the mochi box to you, trying to appease you.

“have some…?”

#with gojo it is -> i love you ❌ || i’ll raise you from the dead myself ✅ #he’s such a dork 🥹 #—headcanons☁️ #𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠 #—chu’s mailbox 📬

Read your first night with Wriothesley and I am so unwell now. 🫠 Had thoughts about rather than reader being nervous with him, reader absolutely CAN'T WAIT to have that large cock in her once she sees it and it's Wriothesley having to calm reader down and insist on preparing her properly first 😂

Hehehehhehehehe hehe hehe nonnie you have a big brain and— oh no omg what's this my fingers danced by themselves—

cw. virgin fem!reader

"Put it in."

Wriothesley stops. He pulls back from the heated kiss and gazes down with a concerned look.

"I barely even touched you," he says. "You'll get hurt."

Your fingers trail down towards your lover's thick, leaking cock—oh, this man is truly a prime specimen, and the fact that he knows it makes him even hotter—and you brush your thumb over the tip, eliciting an approving hiss from his lips.

"I don't care. I want you in me now. I can take you."

"Love—"

"Now."

"No."

You blink up at him.

"But why?"

He sighs. "I don't want this to be painful for you."

"But—"

"No buts," he says, giving your lips a peck, then your neck, then your breasts, then your stomach. You giggle at the sensation of his lips meeting your skin. A moan escapes your throat as he sinks two fingers into your wet cunt and sucks on your clit.

"No rushing," he coos. His icy blue eyes looks up at you, the apparent lust in his gaze sending shivers all over your skin.

"I'll make sure you have the perfect first time."

I love your oc lore!!! The "biblically accurate cow girl" post for me thinking - what would top(?) surgery for them look like

I have also put a lot of thought into top surgery scars for my guys !! A lot of opportunity for fun & stylized scars

#mailbox #bov ocs #heehee........... #i feel like the stomach nips probably don't have enough breast tissue to warrant surgery most of the time #just a little leftover trait from evolving from deer/cows #but it does open doors for cool scars which is always a plus !! #i have also def imagined ginger (cow girl) having top surgery as an adult

ghost or psychic type pokemon being literal urban legends could be cute methinks....

... actually you mentioning that makes me think.

it would be REALLY cute if one of the mini quests was to help an apartment complex of residents who are being haunted.... not by exorcising the spirits but just. helping them figure out what the ghost pokemon want.

youre not making the apartment complex any less haunted, youre just helping them become better roommates.

i figure the apartment complex could be an old hotel or something that burned down, so the ghosts there were really just the ghosts of old tennants or pokemon who live there and got caught in the fire.

#mailbox #duskull that changes the tv channel to soccer because it was a fan before it died and is determined to continue its streak of watching ever #game. haunter that keeps eating all the tennants' icecream and its really bumming her out #when she gets home from her office job and wants to eat double fudge swirl and its all been eaten by haunter #so she just gets a designated carton for haunter and another for her so they can share #pokemon city

Happy STS!

What is your favourite genre to read? Is it the same as your favourite genre to write?

What subgenres within that genre are your favourite to read? Are they the same ones you like to write?

I love to read fantasy, and its what I write the most, it's just familiar to me. Specifically, I love to write magic school stories. I do enjoy reading magic school stories– but I'm not sure if their my favorite, I don't really know my favorite fantasy subgenre to read.

Thanks for the ask!

If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your comic making process? I find it hard to make comics that look eye-pleasing to read and yours are like candy.

Ah, comics! Dig under cut to see some old wips as I attempt to explain my nightmare thought process to you.

For making a comic AESTHETIC and APPROACHABLE:

I've noticed that it's easier for people to be pulled into a comic if I set the environment first and foremost, so people have some vague context for the scene. Of COURSE that's not always necessary ( there are a lot of comics that start out without environmental story telling and it works perfectly) but I've always liked having a lil illustration before digging my rat claws into the meat of the story.

For example! “Emmet and Elesa have a clandestine meeting in the library at 4 am.”

The sketch was sort of the jumping point to where I wanted to go with the comic. I wanted to a. explain wtf is happening and b. draw a nice conclusion about what the f is happening.

You don't need to make the environment available in every panel too! I'd suggest making your first panel tell all the environment detail you need and then like... slowly removing irrelevant detail from there. And then hit folks with the background again at the end. (So basically, you don't see the library in this comic until the beginning and a bit towards the end. I have tricked you! aha!) So that's one tip i have. For Readability: Anyways, to make a comic easy to read, spacing is super important. Dialogue tends to cramp a shot by a WHOLE lot. For example! Remember the "Lamp is told she's beloved (and has a tsundere moment over it"? That used to be TWO panels. Man. Nightmare fuel. Lemme find it. (This is the rough. I Lined It, realized the pacing is off, and then withered. Please don't look at it too hard.)

So here's the thing. This READS. But the sheer amount of dialogue in the beginning is fatiguing for me and the "you are beloved, Lampent" NEEDS that oomph of both characters realizing that over the span of years, their relationship stopped being antagonistic and started being family instead. Some folks are fine with blocks of dialogue, but I have the attention span of a patrat on candy. I will not make it. SO! To match the almost moody atmosphere, I stretched the comic out. I stretched that bad boy out a LOT. And I got this out of it.

Something to keep in mind in comics is there's always going to be one or two iconic lines. Lines that make people FEEL things. Those lines deserve their own panel, their own shot, their whatever. A good story has lulls in its conversation. If you can replicate it, you're winning. Character Blocking:

So basically no, it's not all witchcraft. It's only a bit of witchcraft. Another thing that helps is differentiating characters if they're on the same panel is by solid blocks of color. I have, for the longest time when working on storyboards, blocked characters different tones in order to help differentiate them. Don't be shy! Do that if it helps your comics read! Ingo will always be darker shaded then emmet. The angry nightlight will always have some hint of purple on her (unless I forget). The first goal in a story is to convey information, hehe. Here's an example of color blocking! (This is from a VERY old botw comic I did for linktober in 2021.)

It's, ah, rather rustic compared to what I do. usually. I know! BUT the primary goal here is to convey where the characters are in relation to each other. And the fact they're color coded makes life easier for both reader and artist. Alright! That's all the tips I can think of off the top of my head. Time to get off that soap box, haha. Overall: Basically, my work process is-- draw a story telling image/ write a funny piece of dialogue. Build the comic around that. Pace it so the important lines stand out. Color code the characters for max visibility. And then four to twelve hours of lineart, but that's neither here or there.

Thanks for coming to my unregulated rambling!

Can we learn LE!readers curse technique 👉👈

hmm two questions about this now🥹 okay i think i’ve elaborated once about LE reader’s cursed technique but i lost the post (and i haven't featured it at all in LE bc i think readers would love to imagine their own CT and all *sobs*) so now i’ll rewrite my own take and elaborate it more! it's a bit long soooo under the cut~

weapon: cursed whip. she uses a cursed whip in fights, so the weapon in itself is already fatal enough, just imagine being hit with this :')

^ i used to play samurai warriors a lot :') and i've always loved kai 's whip because she's so graceful in her fights so yeah, i want that for LE reader too

cursed technique: cursed energy regeneration, which is pretty convenient!🥹 and it works like the more hits she scores, the more reserves she saves! that's why she needs weapon to score the hits. once she has enough reserves, she can choose between unleashing it in one go as a fatal strike with her whip or do a domain expansion

domain expansion: transcendent veil. it has two choose-able attributes: allows her to warp into the space within the "veil" that is the barrier of the domain or forsaking all of that in favor of the sure-hit effect. to activate the sure-hit effect requires twice as much CE of the space-warping though

additional note: despite her cursed energy being all good and convenient, it has one drawback: reader has to score hits to pile her cursed energy :') if the enemy takes her out before that or doesn't let her whip touch them, she can lose :)

#so yeah this is just a personal lore of LE reader🥹 #i love the whip and also kanroji mitsuri that's why i imagine she uses it as her primary weapon #and as of the CE... it's inspired from raiden shogun🥹 she's my fav character of all time #—chu’s mailbox 📬 #—headcanons☁️ #𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠
