#slowly drowning

[callmetippy]

If everyone that sees this send me $1 I might be able to pay off some of my massive debt (that keeps getting bigger by the day as I'm taking care of brothers children for the unforeseeable future) and be able to live a semi normal life.

Going to to be a bit transparent and vulnerable, my account has been negative multiple times in the past few months and I'm seriously struggling.

If 5000 people see this post and each person sends me $1 I'd be closer to paying off my massive debt than I have ever been.

$txpp

Please and thank you 🙏🏽

Ananza realizing that Deacon's mom was a devoted follower of hers THEREFORE that's her son now, too! And she will dote on him and love him and never pick on him like all the other deities tend to do. That's her precious little boy who lives in another city and rarely gets to see her!

#my characters #deacon gets mocked for being weird by every other deity but her and ymber (though he does think hes a TAD weird) #and ananza is like NOPE THATS MY LIL BOY !!! I LOVE HIM! and after deacon and ymber leave from their visit #she gets all huffy with fulj because YOU COMPLAINED ABOUT DEACON SO MUCH ??? my sweet lil angel? #and fulj just what - hey wait - did we meet the same person? sweet lil angel? #also for if you care cause i definitely do #ananza is like hmmmm since thats my son now i HAVE to give him something but .... ymber is so protective.... #and then she is like OH YEAH ! ohime said deacon recognized my dance ! #then she is like deacon please come dance with me i formally request a dance come here away from him please here hey #and since deacon is a nice guy hes like ok but i cant really dance well and shes just noooo worries! #and then as they dance she slowly gets him away from ymber and after they are at a decent distance she just #takes his hands in hers and then FWOOSH there's a bunch of wind and deacon is left speechless like ??? what was that? #and so then she is so proud to say that while ymber placed a very PASSIONATE blessing on him she did no such thing! #it is a simple blessing for him since hes like a son to her and hey it might not make you immune to stuff like drowning #but if you are ever in combat which i hope you arent then you will be super duper agile and quiet #and so hes like oh thats pretty cool actually! hey wait what did you mean by passionate hey what #but then the super light footsteps actually are not simply for combat and now hes just a very tall quiet guy #and since he cant remember faces if he sneaks up on someone and they say AGAIN? HOW ARE YOU SO QUIET? hes just #im sorry i didnt mean.... to.... do that.... again.............. (whomst is this and how many times did i spook them) #and ymber is just really happy that thank goodness his blessing and ward act as a GPS and so at least HE knows when deacon is nearby #and fulj is like i hate him even more now did you know he nearly gave me a heart attack like two hours ago ??? this is a crime against me #anyway ananza and deacon are just cute together and hes her precious lil son!

on the bright side, the Met Gala theme is finally something I’m interested in seeing! it’s J.G. Ballard’s A Garden In Time and that’s so thematically fun and on the nose for kind of fundraising spectacle! I hope that next year they do Crash

I'd like to know why you are all alone while I'm lost at sea /

Maybe we'll be there when you want

#bella #fc!bella #lc ocs #art #this is from reinhardt's (branch-wdk53) pov! you cant escape him in my art. i cant escape him #link leads to stranded lullaby - the lyrics are also from there :3 #this is around rein's fears about bella being like ryn but is also about the extraction interaction (still love that name) #honestly every piece of this has. so many meanings like. god #let me just redo all this and go through them one by one lmao #the sea: this one's about them being in the same situation. also their issues (the sea will slowly rise; obscuring and drowning them) #it's also about guilt - it can be a blood ocean! the blood of those they let die... #OOOH I JUST NOTICED THIS: bloodbath! since it's a blood sea :3 #the halos: the inner one is halfway just for composition half bc rein sees bella as a good person. the outer (hard to see but) tear-shaped #halo is both a drop in the sea (me when the blood sea! when we've let so many die it no longer matters.) and a noose's opening - #like foos's but metaphorically(? lmao) bella's own suicide by distancing herself from her friends and therefore her help/support system #the black spots: represents rein losing her in a way. he knows what's happening but has no idea how to help. also tied in with his #amnesia/memory loss (totally covered; lost info; yknow). could even be from pain or drowning in the sea! who knows! :3c #...........yeah im normal about these two. you can trust me. #i need to make a bella/ritz piece istg... ive been sleeping on them!!!!!!!! #but. i love these two so much. total of 2 interactions and i made the MOST out of them <3 #also since im naming all these now since i gotta save them to post em: this one is called lost

Konoha: Wow, it’s so great our double agent within the Uchiha Clan has the selfless Will of Fire, completely cancelling out the possibility for trauma, repressed emotion and deep love to trigger the Curse of Hatred and cause them to sacrifice the many for the few they care about. We can relax and leave it all to him :)

Itachi, trapped on a burning clifftop, wrapping Sasuke in duct tape in preparation to throw him over the edge: ~ I will kill our friends and family to remind ☽  you ☺ of ♬ my ☮ love ☠ ~

#itachi uchiha #naruto meta #i'm not 100% if in either itachi shinden or the manga/anime itachi ever actually talks of the will of fire himself #and technically its a philosophy vs the curse of hatred being part philosophy part kinda genetic environmental mix #but boy oh boy does the general uchiha clan's self interest of not being spied on scapegoats pale against itachi's m.o #its not even exclusively a sasuke thing he drowns a young shinobi who tried to kill kisame for 2 days in tsukuyomi #even though he planned to stab him straight after #and he tortures shisui's killer and everyone who accused him of killing him himself #and basically locks izumi in a snowglobe with just illusionary people and him for 70 years #like will of fire or no it feels like his mindset is right up there with madara-obito-sasuke #its just that part of his single minded love happens to be konoha-directed #like he doesn't have asura's philosophy he has indra's #itachi's goal is peace but his tool is almost exclusively power and fear #with love being something he keeps very private #the ninja world will play nice if he has to hold it at knife-point #not anti itachi he is a mess it's great #he's so bad at being good but could have become so so much worse #like danzou is pretty heavily implied to have chosen itachi to kill his clan the day he graduated so his whole life in konoha\ #is just slowly being steered to a slaughter

something something byan ending up in the office on at least half of the days they actually bother showing up to school, specifically for breaking the dress code... some of the teachers eventually hitting a point of letting the less drastic rule violations slide bc they don't want to deal with the scene they know from experience that byan will cause, but then others being especially nit-picky about it... idk I'm just thinking about it tonight

#like u know a chunk of it is transphobic but like. #the majority of it is genuinely bc they're outright intentionally wearing skirts that're too short & shit #byan is maliciously breaking the dress code bc they think it's stupid #but they also wanna stick it to those who don't think they should be dressing the way they do #and in the process they give everyone a fucking headache sfjgksh #and like. they're more than happy to be doing that. that's WHY they make such a scene. #fuck authority!!! if ur gonna stifle them then they're gonna make sure ur miserable!!!! #they're petty enough to come back tomorrow wearing an even shorter skirt just so u have to deal with it again!!! #and if u eventually cave & don't call them on the smaller shit?? that just means they're winning!!!!!! #ahdjgsg hi I'm alive & thinking about Them but also like. drowning myself in games to get through the days #actual writing is still on the backburner for now but I have been slowly cleaning up my drafts for whenever I do have the energy back :'v #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ooc ⋮ don’t @ me.

[Start ID. Two drawings of Hollow Knight OCs in the City of Tears. The first depicts Solper and Caramel, an owlfly and carpenter bee respectively, just before they duel in midair, from a vantage point behind Caramel's shoulder. They're a fair distance from the ground, which is composed of a scattering of large cobblestone islands, partially submerged by a dark sea. They both seem rather enthused, fighting for fun—Caramel has her mantis claw held out to the side and other fist raised, while Solper's sabre is poised beside his head, his other limbs akimbo. The entire drawing and particularly the background are indigo-toned, drenched and shining under perpetual rain.

The second shows Molini, Hawksbeard and Dandy, a millipede, grasshopper and a moth. Molini contentedly sits as the other two use her as a bench, circled around a fire as they've just finished boiling tea, the kettle is propped up on Dandy's nail and settled between two poles taken from Solper and Caramel's battleground. The background is dark enough to appear fully blank, though a handful of lumaflies and the light of a hidden central fire shine upon the three bugs. Hawksbeard is chatting, the others listen, all three holding cups from which pale steam rises in clouds. While the firelight is particularly bright, the tone of the drawing is warm, in both color and feeling. End ID]

March 30 was the first time I'd interacted with @hollypies (feat. their Dandy), and April 5th my earliest memory of @original-character-chaos (feat. his Solper). So I offer a two-weeks-late first-anniversary drawing to my mutuals :]

quite truthfully my very personal highly self indulgent interpretation of the life series & it as a timeloop specifically is like. entirely 10000% shaped by orvs metanarrative so if you want access to this specific interpretation that like maybe 2 or 3 total people globally hold you will unfortunately have to read 551 chapters of a korean webnovel that only exists in full via awkward fan translation. but it sounds tempting does it not

#sorry whenever i try to bridge the gap of explaining even a modicum of my interpretation of the life series timeloop #i just turn into a shameless shill for orv LOL #im just.. very very attached to the concept of the watchers and how they are a direct analogy for us as fans of the series #& the idea of us (me! & you reading this!) being responsible for all the events that transpire..death as entertainment! tragedy as beauty! #and just. the horrible wonderful messy thing that is the act of storytelling as a preservation of life #we live on through story......... can a watcher continue to exist even if they have nothing to watch...... #though they try to paint themselves as villainous as story gluttons as puppeteers and masterminds and bloodthirsty monsters #though they try to run away to drown themselves in the story to watch and watch and watch to become something else for just a little while #its just... #its all only ever because they loved the story.... they loved the story so much they brought it to life... #who else will be there to record their victories? their deaths? every little mundane thing? #who else will ascribe meaning to the minutiae-- to the things that were never supposed to hold meaning in the first place? #hand in hand together we make a tiny world #we watch it die over and over again #and we watch it slowly come back to life....... #maybe we can feel alive this way too....

so wait theoretically if cas ever would grow old would he just jump off a cliff at the first wrinkle or go for the dilf look

ask him again in like 3000 years I think but. u know what if for some ungodly reason he makes it to that age I think he’d just go for the look✊ if he genuinely lives that long he probably got slightly more mentally stable to stomach it

#if he got a wrinkle right now though or in the near future he would slowly walk into the ocean and drown himself #blakemail

Marshall content is so scarce that my doctor has prescribed me a strict daily dosage of a man you can actually Google (pretentious way of announcing new hyperfixation)

Fr it's so hard to find anything of him 💀 looking up Drowned Counselor on here just shows our stuff and unrelated crap for me 😅 plus a couple posts about critiquing sinner designs in the hellaverse if you slap Helluva Boss onto the search too 🤷‍♀️

#it's always oneoff characters and background characters that get the most interesting designs #and then they get like no attention for some reason #like yeah he doesn't have an official name so that doesn't help #but neither does vox's assistant and he's slowly getting more content #and they usually make sure to at least tag it as vox assistant #maybe that's one of the issues? #i think we're the only ppl that tag marshall stuff as drowned counselor or anything else?

When Thena heard in the news about the 4th fisherman drowning out at the sea she fears that it will happen to Gil too. So she decides to do some swimming lessons for Gil to make him stronger and more secure in the water. She doesn’t tell him why all of a sudden she wants to spend time with him in the water, Only later Gil learns her true intentions.

For the mermaid one!

Gil hit the surface, taking in a deep gasp of air.

"Hm," Thena pursed her lips, swimming closer to him in a second, "that was only a minute."

"Only," he huffed and puffed.

They had been practising getting him to hold his breath for longer, gradually. Thena had been positively horrified to learn that most humans could only hold their breath for about a minute before their lungs demanded oxygen. So horrified that she had insisted he strengthen his lungs, as well as plenty of other swimming skills.

So, every night after work, they would spend a little time in the water together before he had a shower and started their dinner.

"Yes, 'only'," she huffed right back at him, circling him with ease thanks to her tail cutting through the water. "Gil, your average has only increased by ten seconds. You are a fisherman!"

"Yeah," he panted faintly, swiping water and his weighed down hair out of his eyes. "And I do my fishing up on the boat, believe it or not."

She gave him a very unimpressed look. "I met you because you fell overboard."

She had a point. Gil avoided her eyes, kicking his feet and swishing his hands to keep himself afloat. "Angelfish, I appreciate the training and all. But it's been a hell of a day, I really-"

"But-!" she started and bit into her lip with her fangs. He raised a brow, waiting for her argument. She sighed, though, swirling her tail to keep herself stationary. "Perhaps you're right."

"Thena," he sighed, watching her swim slowly over to the ladder of the dock. "Angelfish, wait."

"No, I'm sorry I insisted on doing this every night," she offered him a contrite smile, "you must be exhausted."

"Hey, c'mere," he reached for her, keeping his other hand on the ladder to alleviate his own burden. "What's going on? I asked already what this was about but something's up."

Thena dodged his eyes, moving her tail, feeling the water bending around both her movements and Gil's. Humans really did have to work so, so hard to stay afloat. All that air in their lungs and it lasted less than a minute on average. And Gil's muscle was so dense, and those strong arms of his weren't actually doing the most work when he swam.

"Cuddlefish?" he tried to persuade her with sweet words again, leaning closer and kissing her cheek.

Thena sighed, leaning into the affection and bringing herself closer to him. Even in the water, although it made his skin feel damp, he was still so warm. "I was worried."

"Yeah, I'm getting that impression," he smiled again, running his hand over her hair, the water beading and running right off. "But I mean why, though?"

She sighed more harshly, flicking her tail fins more. "You saw the news."

Several deaths of fishermen had been reported on recently--enough that the local news had announced that it was unwise to be out in open water without proper training and equipment. They were even investigating exactly why the fishermen had all met their ends, and it seemed unfortunate but natural causes due to them tumbling overboard and simply being at the mercy of the sea.

"Even the strongest human is a guppy when you're out in those waves," she frowned, pressing her forehead to his chest. "The stormy season is upon us and if you fall in, or get tangled in a net again, and-"

"Hey, hey, it's okay," he cooed, kissing beside her ear and tucking her head against him. "Nothing like that is gonna happen, Angelfish."

She bit his shoulder gently (like tugging on an ear). "Net--overboard."

"Right," he remarked, and they both had to chuckle. He held her tighter though, "okay, you got me there. But you saved me."

"And what if I'm not there to save you next time?" she pulled her head up to frown at him. She pulled her hand from the water to touch his cheek, "what if I'm too late? What if you fall so deep that even if I do get you back to the surface, your lungs are already depleted?--or the pressure has crushed you beyond repair?"

"Thena," he said more firmly, even going so far as to silence her with his lips pressed to hers. "I promise I won't let that happen."

She glared at him, letting her fangs press into her lower lip. "You cannot promise that. You do not know what can happen out there!"

"Maybe."

She huffed; whose side was he on?!

"But I can promise that I'll be careful," he smiled, hoping to encourage her into doing the same. "I keep my tether tied if the weather is bad, I make sure I'm not standing on the nets anymore. And I have stuff on the boat to help too, y'know."

She tilted her head at him, hoping to convey how unconvinced she was.

"I know you're worried about me," he sighed, pulling her hand from his cheek to he could kiss her palm. "But humans are tougher than you think. And hey, my girlfriend is a mermaid--I have more experience in the water than even the average fisherman, now."

Thena rolled her eyes; merely knowing her did not make him a better swimmer. Although she had to admit, Gil's form was better than some of the other fishing boat idiots in the area. She pouted, "swimming is not a talent that can be passed on through mating."

Gil just laughed before leaning in to kiss her again. "Maybe we'll just have to keep trying, hm?"

She attempted to remain cross with him, but it really wasn't working at all. He was far too charming for a human. She leaned in to kiss him as well, her tail taking on a mind of its own to push her closer to him so she could wrap her arms around his neck.

"And hey, we can keep swimming like this," he shrugged, running his fingers up and down her back where skin met scales. "You like it, right?--having your tail on, just swimming around for fun?"

She did enjoy it. It felt nice to have her tail on in its natural state, and swimming with Gil made her feel...closer to him, in a way. She felt more connected over the gap between human and mer.

Gil kissed her again, still holding onto the ladder. "How about this--you let me start dinner for us. And tonight, when the moon is out, we can swim a little again before bed."

Thena brightened visibly, her tail practically wagging. Two of her favourite things were promised: swimming with Gil, and sleeping with Gil. What a hopeless thing she was.

"Okay, come on," he smiled, beginning the trip up the ladder. Once he was up he did shiver some.

Thena followed him up quickly, always happy when her feet could navigate the ladder easily (one of the hardest actions she'd had to learn with her legs on). "Come on, let's get inside."

Gil pulled his towel around his shoulders, although he pulled her into him with it, both of them walking slowly and awkwardly cocooned together within the fluffy cloak. "So, what do you want for dinner?"

"Hm," Thena mused, happy to shuffle along at a cucumber's pace if it meant being tucked into Gil's side. "That rice porridge you made was tasty."

"Oh yeah?" he brightened. He liked that recipe, and although it had been a remedy for her feeling unwell at the time, she had come to like it too. "Okay, I'll add some extra seafood."

Thena eyed him, "and sardines?"

He bent his head down, kissing her forehead, "anything you want, Angelfish."

#Thenamesh Mermaid AU #Thena hears that fishermen are drowning #and says not today Poseidon #she trains Gil as if he's going to be in the Olympics #but y'know what it pays off #he slowly finds that wow he really is stronger #and he can hold his breath for way longer #Thena maybe secretly swims out to the general area where he's fishing #she makes sure to stay very very low #stays out of sight #but she always feels a little better when she can get a little peek of the bottom of Titania #Gil absolutely knows she's following him #because he's been leaving one or two barnacles just to check #and she always scrapes them off for him #but he doesn't say anything because if it makes her feel better #anything for his Angelfish #also #he starts running warm baths with salt in them so they can just...cuddle #he knows how happy being in the water makes her #so he sits and reads or something #and she literally just curls up in his lap with her tail hanging out the back of the tub
