🌻Meraki's arsenal🌻
This started as an excercise for dinamic poses using some references and giving my trollsona diferent hairstyles, but i ended up using it as a way to show a bunch of axes she has.
Some are based of canon weapons, like Ahab's crosshairs (Eridan's gun), caledfwlch (Dave's sword), Ancestral Awakening Sword (Vriska's sword), Thorns of oglogoth (Rose's horroterror wands) and The legendary Zilly Weapons.
If the names are stupid you already know it's because i speak spanish👍 (tho names of things in homestuck are kinda stupid anyways)

I recently read about the Greek concept of meraki, which is all about leaving parts of yourself in everything you do. Really pouring yourself and self love into it all - from doing your dishes or brushing your teeth to your passion projects or organizing a birthday party for your best friend. It's in making that conscious efffort to really imagine parts of your heart being left in absolutely everything you do. I promise it will make life that much more beautiful.

Take pride in everything you create no matter if anyone else recognizes its worth or not.I believe it was Van Gogh that only sold one painting while he was still alive. Ultimately we create for ourselves and nobody else.

For a few months now, I’ve been helping @meraki-sunset​​ with spelling and grammatical errors on her Crow Strider AU comic. It’s nothing big, just small fixes, sometimes catching an art error. I’ve enjoyed helping Meraki make those improvements.
Pictured here is Viiveh (my oc/trollsona) making corrections to Meraki’s script and teaching the extremely dumb nuances of english.

Meraki
New Story! FFN and AO3
It's October and that means Jilytober!!! @magic-girl-in-a-muggle-world put out this list of amazing prompts and I've worked a whole bunch of them into this little fluffy piece. I hope you enjoy!
Marlene is done. If Lily and James won't figure themselves out, then she's just going to push them too it. And she's going to pull Sirius along for the ride.
Meraki
"I have no idea what's bothering you." Sirius ghosted his lips down Marlene's neck. "So can you at least give me a hint?" 
She looked around the Common Room. "Let's get out of here."
Sirius didn't need to be told twice. He followed her up the boys' stairs to his dorm where Marlene promptly sat on the floor and leant against the foot of his bed.
"Are you trying to turn me on right now?"
She turned to glare at him, making him smirk back at her. 
"Because it's working." 
Finally she cracked a smile at him, and Sirius let out a breath of relief.
"Really, Marls, what's going on?"
"If I have to watch James and Lily dance around each other for one more minute I might kill them both."
"You'll get used to it. You just haven't had the training ground the lads and I have for the last few years. After a while you won't even notice them doing it anymore."
"Merlin, I hate them." She blew her fringe from her eyes. "Driving me mad for no good reason."
"You're possibly the worst liar on Earth, you know that right?" Sirius relented and sat down on the floor next to her. "You love Lily too much to hate her, and James is almost as much your brother as he is mine."
"Don't ruin this with facts. They won't snog and have it done with only to make me hate them. It's all a plan to send me to an early grave."
"Marly, Marly, Marly." Sirius bright his lips back to her neck. "Let them be idiots while you enjoy that you're ten times as bright because you don't deny yourself the simple pleasures of life." 
She arched into him and Sirius grinned. 
"See, no need to let them upset you."
"I'm going to make them get together." Marlene pulled the tie from his hair and drug her nails against his scalp. It felt so good her words almost didn't register. 
Almost.
"Marlene." Sirius pulled back.
"No, Sirius, we're doing this now." She brought her lips to his, and as much as Sirius wanted to ignore the obvious problem for the gorgeous woman in front of him, Sirius only kissed her for a minute longer before pulling back.
"We can't make them be together."
"Of course I can. They just have to believe it was their idea and not mine."
"Awfully confident aren't you?"
She moved to straddle him. "I mean, history says I kind of have the right to be."
Sirius took a long moment to enjoy the view, really considering if it was worth pushing back.
"Marlene."
She placed a black nailed finger against his lips before bringing her mouth to his. 
"Trust me."
"I'm going to regret this, aren't I?" He gripped her hips.
"No, one day soon, you're going to thank me."
"I'm always polite, Marls."
He felt her chuckle more than he heard it. "And I appreciate it, but one day soon, you'll thank me for removing a problem from all of our lives."
"And how soon before I can thank you for other things?" He drug his lips along her chin. 
She let him kiss her skin for several moments before turning to capture his lips with hers. "That depends entirely on you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James swung his broom over his shoulder and walked back from the Quidditch pitch as the sun was just cresting the trees. He enjoyed these early morning flying sessions. At first he resented that being Head Boy made early morning the only time he could get a good session in, but after the first few weeks he had come to enjoy these quiet hours of solitude.
But his solitude was suddenly interrupted as he looked towards the Black Lake.
"Lily?"
She didn't hear him as she sat a hundred yards or so from the shore, watching the sun climb the horizon.
He almost left her to her thoughts. He almost walked right back into the castle. 
Almost.
"Wouldn't have thought you're the type to sit alone and watch the sunrise." James sat down on Lily's blanket with her.
"I wasn't supposed to be alone."
James nearly had a panic attack. Was Lily meant to be on a date right now?
"Marlene made a whole todo about wanting to see the sunrise with me this morning. When I woke up, she wasn't in her bed and I figured she was already out here."
James let out an explosive breath. "Marlene is in Sirius' bed."
"I should have known." Lily shook her head. "She went to sleep in her bed last night."
James chuckled. "She came into our dorm around one or so in the morning."
"Well, at least I got to see the sunrise."
"A much better view than Sirius in the morning." 
Lily laughed, a clear and joyous sound that made James' chest ache.
"I'm glad you happened to be out flying. I don't feel as put out now that I'm not on my own."
"You know, I fly every morning." James pushed his hand into his hair. "Anytime you want someone to watch the sunrise with, I'm your man."
Lily smiled up at him. "Maybe I'll make an effort to watch a few more sunrises then."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James glared at Sirius as he sat down on James' textbook in the library.
"What, Sirius?"
"McGonagall's looking for you?" 
James frowned. He'd met with Lily and Minnie not two hours ago. What could she possibly want from him now."
"She said she'd be in the Head's Office."
Aggravated at the interruption, James gave Sirius a shove to free the textbook. 
"Honestly, Potter, a simple please does wonders."
"So does not sitting on other people's property." James shoved the book into his bag. Potions were boring, hopefully Minnie needed some transfiguration help. "Thanks for letting me know she was looking for me."
"Enjoy!" Sirius called after him, getting a harsh shush from Madam Pince.
James made his way to the Head's Office but when he opened the door he froze. Lily was sitting at her desk, face down in a textbook, passed out cold.
"Lily?" 
She didn't respond and James briefly considered waiting for Minnie outside the office. She must be exhausted to fall asleep in such an uncomfortable position, especially when a couch sat not five feet away from her. 
Her neck and shoulders were going to kill her when she woke up. He wouldn't be surprised if her legs were already asleep. 
James looked at the couch and then looked back at Lily.
But if he moved her to the couch…
It was a bad idea. He had worked hard this first month of school to be sure that he never made her feel like he was looking at her with anything other than respect and friendship. He had pushed away every desire for something more, locking how much he wished she wanted him the way he wanted her behind iron walls.
But he couldn't leave her asleep like that.
James set his bag on the floor and against his better judgment, moved to where Lily slept. She fit perfectly in his arms as he shifted her gently out of her chair, her head coming to rest against his shoulder. 
"What?"
"Shh. We're just getting you to the couch."
"James?"
"It's me." Reluctant to set her down, James waited for her answer.
But she didn't respond, having fallen back asleep against his shoulder. 
He should have put her down and walked out of the room. 
He should have waited for Minnie outside.
He shouldn't have turned and sat down on the couch with her pressed against him as he cradled her in his arms.
He shouldn’t have brushed his lips across her hairline.
And when Lily woke up, he shouldn’t have told her it wasn’t a big deal that he’d let her sleep on him for the better part of an hour. 
He completely forgot about Minnie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Took you long enough, I’ve been waiting.” 
Lily looked over at Marlene from the portrait hole. “For what?”
“For you. I need your help.” Marlene pushed off from the armchair she was lounging in. She picked up a jumper from the floor and tossed it to her. “Get this back to James for me, would you?”
Lily felt her blood run cold. Marlene only had a bloke’s jumper for one reason. 
“For Merlin’s sake! Your face!” Marlene laughed. “I grabbed it by accident last night thinking it was Sirius’!” 
Lily gasped as she felt like she could breathe again. 
“Don’t worry, Sirius keeps me plenty entertained. I don’t need to go bed hopping in that dorm.”
“Wait, why don’t you just give it back to Sirius?” She ran her hand along the soft knitting of James’ jumper. 
Maybe she could just keep it?
“Because Sirius doesn’t know I grabbed the wrong jumper and I would much rather not give him the satisfaction of knowing that I did.” Marlene blew her a kiss and then slipped out of the Common Room before Lily could argue with her.
Lily stared at the closed portrait door, her fingers still sliding along the jumper. 
What had just happened?
After getting knocked by a student entering the Common Room, Lily decided to go hide in the Head’s Office. 
Not hiding; she was waiting for James. Not that he usually returned to the Head’s Office after they’d finished planning rounds. But that didn’t mean she couldn’t wait for him there. He’d end up in the Head’s Office. Eventually. 
This was all Marlene’s fault. The day Lily had passed out at her desk, Marlene had kept her up till half four with questions about the Muggle world. It was Marlene’s fault she’d fallen asleep. It was Marlene’s fault Lily had woken up not only in James’ arms but on his lap. If it hadn’t been for that, everything would have been fine. But now, she could barely look him in the eye, let alone hand him back his jumper. 
It was so soft. 
Maybe she’d try it on. James wouldn’t have reason to come back to the Head’s Office. He’d never know…
Before she could realize how bad an idea that was, Lily pulled James’ jumper over her head. 
It was unbelievably soft. How did James focus on anything with jumpers this soft?
“Is that my jumper?”
Lily screamed and spun from where she sat on the couch to face the door.
“James.”
His eyes were locked on his jumper and Lily struggled to find a plausible reason that not only did she have his jumper but that she was currently wearing it. 
“I-” Words failed her. 
She shouldn’t have put the jumper on. If she’d left it off she could have just smiled at James, mentioned Marlene’s predicament, and they could have laughed it off. Now she’d made a fool of herself by putting it on. 
“It, it looks good on you.” His voice was graveled and Lily thought his eyes looked wider. 
“At least it’s not orange.” 
Lily blinked as she realized those words had come out of her mouth. 
James smirked. “I don’t know, I think you’d look great in orange.”
The laughter bubbled out of her and James quickly followed. 
“Here.” She started to pull the jumper off, but James shook his head. 
“Don’t. You should probably just keep it.” He picked up a folded up piece of parchment from his desk. “I’ll see you later.”
Lily watched the door close behind him, not able to keep the smile off her face. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lily laughed as she walked through Hogsmeade with James. Their friends had been with them, but at some point there was confusion about where they were going and James and Lily had ended up on their own.
"This is nice." She smiled up at him. "I love our friends, but sometimes they're a bit wild, except Remus."
"Remus is going to be so smug when I tell him you singled him out as the sane one." 
Lily shivered as she laughed. 
"Here." James wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to him. "I'll help keep you warm."
"I should have worn your jumper." 
"Yes, you definitely should have." James teased her. "Why didn't you?"
Lily was distracted by a group of third years running down the street, playing tag by the looks of it.
"Lils?"
"I wear it to sleep in." She moved towards the third-years, set on reminding them to behave themselves, when her words registered in her own ears. 
Lily froze.
"I can't believe I just told you that."
James didn't answer, and Lily couldn't bring herself to look at him. They stood there in silence, his arm still partially wrapped around her shoulders, her body turned to where the third-years had been but were no longer.
And then that strong arm was guiding her back around to look at him.
"Do you really?"
"I-" Lily bit her lip and tried to turn away but James held fast.
"Lily."
"James."
"Do you really wear my jumper to sleep in?"
She shouldn't have said anything. She shouldn't have told him. She shouldn't have spent the last two weeks with his jumper under her pillow, pulling it on after she'd drawn the curtains every night.
"Er, yes." She closed her eyes waiting for the teasing she was sure to endure along with James' laughter.
Instead of teasing and laughter, two gentle hands cupped her face and guided her eyes up to his.
"That kind of information gives a bloke ideas about how you might feel for him." 
"It doesn't give a woman any ideas about how he feels about her though." Lily brought her hands up to tangle in his cloak.
"Knowing you sleep in my jumper makes playing the long game immensely harder."
"You're playing the long game?"
There was the slightest hesitation in his response.
"For you, Evans, I'm playing for keeps." He brought his forehead to rest against hers. "Is that enough of an idea for you?"
Lily could barely pull a full breath as she stared into James' eyes, and her answer came out in a whisper.
"I think so."
James tilted their heads until he was close enough to speak against her lips. "And do you think you'd be alright with this?"
"I don't think I'd be alright without it."
She felt James smirk against her.
"Good, because I can't wait any longer." And then he brought his lips to hers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Now you may thank me." Marlene pushed Sirius back against the wall in the Three Broomsticks while they waited for a place at the bar. 
Marlene sighed into him as Sirius moved his hands beneath her leather jacket. 
“Am I thanking you for snogging me in public now?”
“If you want to, I won’t argue.” Marlene ran her nails along his scalp. “But I’m talking specifically about that problem I told you I was removing from our lives.”
“All they needed was to be left alone in Hogsmeade, eh?” 
“And everything we’ve done leading up to this.” 
SIrius kissed her neck before biting down on her pulse point and Marlene gripped his hair as she pulled closer to him. 
“Not that I don’t believe you, but how do you know they’ve sorted themselves out?”
Marlene chuckled and pulled back just enough to gesture out the window. “James’ tongue down Lily’s throat enough evidence for you?”
Sirius’ smile went soft as he watched their friends snog in the street. It caught Marlene off guard and her heart melted as she watched his face. 
“You’re amazing, you know that?” Sirius looked back at her, his gaze intense as his gray eyes held hers. 
“A woman always likes to be told.” Marlene tried to keep her tone light, but her words came out breathless. 
“How badly do you want this drink?” He rested his forehead against hers. 
“Can you make it back to the castle?”
“Don’t worry, I know a shortcut.”
With one more searing kiss, Sirius pulled her out the door, past their still snogging friends, and down the secret passage back to the castle, where he made sure she knew exactly how grateful he was that she’d pushed James and Lily together. 
And how grateful he was that she was his.

Meraki's uncle has always encouraged her to feel her feelings - which she does. Very much so. Her fiery temper is something else! 🔥

Be it in the arts, or their every day job, when someone puts their soul into it , it shows. You can feel it. There’s a Greek word for that, it’s called Mèraki.
