Gambler's Knife
by thegeminisage
AOS-style take on Conscience of the King. Twelve years after Tarsus IV and three months after dying to realign the warp core and save his ship, Jim Kirk seems to have a new lease on life: he's been resurrected, started pursuing a tentative new relationship with Spock, and has an entire five-year mission ahead of him. That is, until the attempted murder of an old friend forces him to divert the Enterprise away from her intended course and towards Planet Q. After a chance encounter on the planet's surface, new secrets about Jim's time on Tarsus IV come to light—secrets that threaten to destroy everyone he fought to protect, and the new life he's finally achieved. Some things you carry with you wherever you go.
-
Short but lingering. I can't stop thinking about it. It's caught in my teeth
(Lots of Tarsus, you've been warned)

Welcome, non-plant beings, my creatures of night and nonsense, my dear audience, to this weird and wonderous collection of mine.
I promise you won't be told a story with an answer, with some "here's how I fixed my life & the journey it took to get there" I promise that there won't be a "hope to get better" which makes now feel so stark in contrast. I promise I wont make it seem simple or linear or a sudden "aha moment" to make things suddenly seem clear.
What I promise is a story, to the best of my ability, where there are no weeds to pull. no seeds to plant, no fruits to pick. The garden will grow and die, change & cycle back to the beginning. And through it all, in this moment with the dappled sun reflecting off the dew, the weeds in a thick blanket, forgotten fruit as a feast for the birds - we are wild and it is beautiful, no matter how much they want a cultivated, perfectly trimmed and oh-so-stale-garden.
----
TL;DR - I'm currently in a Link Click hyperfixation, and I my main WIP is the Land of the Fallen Fairies. I also have a biology fanfiction and a teddy bear nightmare warrior story on the side. And I like being asked about character analysis, whether that be my own characters or any character from this list + characters from LInk Click
-----
How the fae/faer/faerself pronouns work
Open to tag games and asks and... literally anything.
Name's Noor/Noorie btw. Closeted genderfluid and aspec (queer platonic/split attraction model... or whatever this is). Pronouns are they/them, it/its and anything fancy.
----
Each of the subsections leads to masterposts for everything! (The intro post got waaayyy tooo long)
The Land of the Fallen Fairies.
A nature-themed commentary on the pursuit of happiness and fixing yourself to deserve that happiness, told by an overthinking, unreliable, houseplant narrator.
Zine
Uquiz
TW: self-hatred, suicidal thoughts, and self-deprecation.
Anuli's story collection.
Anuli's (and my) favorite stories from around tumblr
Jujutsu Kaisen Hyperfixation
As the name suggests, I am hyperfixated. I have also written essays analyzing these characters. Be very afraid. And/or come suffer with me /pos
Also also, for those who don't want to see any JJK smut, this blog should be safe for you! <3 I ship Satosugu but in a... transcend labels, queer platonic flavor sort of way. And I flipflop on itafushi. Either way they are soul mates and transcend labels. Found family dynamics and everlasting friendships/comfort people are peak fiction for me.
Link Click Hyperfixation
They are my everything. They can live in my head rent free foreverrr.
Tumblr's houseplant garden.
Growing a garden of houseplants based off this weird thing called existence, "planted" by others from tumblr.
Fantasy Frog and Toad
A story about two princes cursed to be a frog and toad because they couldn't decide on whether to be self-determined and individualistic, or be traditional and family oriented, because why can't you be both?

EO3 (partial) lineup - November-December 2022
Peak MAbo is collaborating with your best friend for a(n admittedly unfair) final project (for web development!!!! an elective!!!), saying you would post it, forgetting about it for a year, posting it on Artstation and forgetting about it again.
As always, AC drew the lineart, and I colored. Designs were more of a collaborative effort between the two of us!
Probably should have shared this when the HD collection came out... anyway it's here now!
Some design ramblings under the cut :0! There's a lot i wanna share especially given that we recently did a soft rewrite that departed from the guild system entirely ^^" and EO3's cast was actually one of the first that we had, surprisingly!
Micah is quite clearly alt gladiator 3, but in an entirely different profession. instead of going into the labyrinth, he works in what i imagine would be an analogue to the forge in Tharsis (aka helping people make things busted af). It probably works best for his character, since he was always a gizmo freak even in his first iteration! geomagnetic (or submagnetic, ugh) gizmo is AC's idea!
Micah's brother, Eva, is a very loose spin on zodiac 3, but with a wayyyy lighter colour palette. Admittedly, i did steal a little bit of the spiritmaster's coat from bravely default, but AC managed to spin it back to resembling the original coat that the class had. Eva works as an astronomer, hence the little telescope he always has on him.
Next up we have Eva's protégé, Miri (who was imported from AC's stories)! Theoretically, Miri would be a second zodiac, and, after watching some EO3 speedruns, would probably be really strong in the earlygame when working with Eva in an actual playthrough. AC's design heavily borrows from Patho II's Grace, hence the coat + dress combo.
Following Miri in this lineup would be Noa, her admittedly very lazy but clingy sibling. I think it's apparently here that we didn't have much time to filter what a believable design would be in an EO setting, given that Noa's clothes were translated directly from our designs of them in school attire. It's actually funny how for we diverged from their original portrait (buccaneer 3) to the point that she is literally unrecognizable. Truly a pipeline from good sea boy to j-horror twist character.
Last in the OC section would be Masaru, who recently found work for the Senatus. Admittedly he does have another example of "incongruent time period" clothing (the jacket), though it's a lot more reworkable than Noa. We also made his design a lot less poofy and rugged compared to the original, and I mixed the base and alt color palettes as well to make him less, well, glaringly red. Probably one of the funnier things is that his clothing palette made him blend in more with the likes of Kujura, but given that they work for the same place, it'll probably work out fine.
Now we go onto NPCs, and who better to start than with Flowdia! Admittedly, her art was one of the last ones that we did, hence why her design looks relatively plain (sorry lola). Probably one of the things I would like to add would be more ornate patterns, perhaps of butterflies to tie her closer to Gutrune!
Before we get to the Princess, we gotta get through her bodyguard first! >:0 I honestly don't like Kujura because I answered honestly in his first question, and he said that I was prideful, but AC likes him so he looks really good here. He isn't as rendered here as he is in his portrait, since he was also one of the last characters we made, and I didn't really get to notice that he doesn't have as much value contrast in his clothing as Masaru does. Probably something to think about next time I color him >:0
Next up we have Gutrune!! We decided to make her look more jellyfish-like, while still keeping it a bit uncanny and unsettling. We tried to give her a more traditionally Filipiniana look (mostly on the Maria Clara gown), but we haven't yet made a poncho design that mixes well with butterfly sleeves without looking cluttered. As such, she has a more nightdress-y look here. AC drew in a few tentacles, and I couldn't help but make them look squishy.
Last but not least is Olympia! We wanted to align her appearance more with her background, hence her altered design :0 Having rips of the artbook easily accesible online also helped us flesh out her hair in particular, since we didn't want to just transplant Gutrune's hairstyle onto her.
And that's all of them!!! I'm honestly hoping to draw more EO characters, though Seyfried's design scares me (honestly the reason why I couldn't make a Reversed Emperor comic).
Currently, I've made a lot of progress on the EO4 game, and I'm excited to draw up the three N-turned-PCs + Xiuan >:'0!!! I don't think I can ever get as cool as Morika tho. If you've come this far and aren't into EO, please check out their blog!! Their art is stunning and has come a really long way :")

Hi, Aera!! I hope you are having a great day!! I just want to let you know how happy I am upon seeing your Mash + Glowing eyes set! That is so cool. Thank you so much for dedicating the set to me!!! \(≧▽≦)/
You'd think I would've thought of making that kind of set but it never crossed my mind! But then again, I'm glad that one of my mash edits made you think of this. It's such a cool idea!! Seeing Mash with his eyes glowing always means he's about to do something awesome. And it's something that we would only appreciate when animated. And to see compiled scenes in a single set and one that is dedicated to me, I am just beyond ecstatic and honored.
Thank you again for the Mash Burnedead gifset gift! I am looking forward to more of your Mashle and other non-Mashle gifsets in the future!
[PS. I'm not sure which one you're gonna see first: my ask or my tags when I reblogged your post. It may seem redundant but that just shows how much that set made me extremely happy.]
AAAAAAA OMGGGG ART!! Just to let you know your message made my entire day and I'm feeling both giddy and driven to tears when reading it aaaaa
Thank you sooo much! I'm so happy that you like the little Mash gifsets I made for you! And yeah, it was one of your edits that made me want to make this compilation, because I was reminded of how cool his eyes were when he got serious! It's true, Mash's glowing eyes moments are the kind of moments that we can only get to enjoy in animated works. So I'm glad that the anime got to do something cool, not just adapting the manga panel-by-panel but taking full advantage of being an animated media as well!
I did a lot of experiments with it, trying out some color isolation techniques to just make Mash stand out more, grayscaling the background and surroundings, and attempting to make his yellow eyes glow more through the coloring but it was the best that I could do... and I just realized that I missed his last glowing eyes moment from S2EP11 too, despite that being one of my favorite moments 🥲
Anyway, I know I only make simple gifs with no fancy colorings/effects/edits, but I'm still glad that you love the gifsets I made for you! I'm so honored too that you even went out of your way to send this lengthy, wonderful message to show how much you love it! I really appreciate it!
Thank you for all of your wonderful gifs and edits as well, for creating them, and for sharing them with the world to enjoy! Thank you as well for the opportunity to help out at mashleverse, and for all the help managing it too! I love your edits so much! Keep doing what you love and hope you have an awesome week ahead as well! ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝

Making some free pride pins n stickers for some really kind kids at school who get shit thrown at them for no reason
I don’t have the funds to donate over $25, but if you can spare any money at all, even just a dollar, you can donate to reliable charities that help uphold rights or provide services for LGBTQ+ Youth and organizations such as the Trevor project, the Human Rights Campaign foundation, the Point Foundation, the Ali Forney Center, and more
---
Please, if you can't donate to these charities, at least give this a reblog when you come across it, I would really like to spread the word!

I hear the river say your name (by the stars above, I know we were in love)
by malneiro
"Luo Binghe takes no notice of this, but keeps slowly meandering towards him, like he hasn’t noticed he’s doing it yet. Instead, his eyes fixate on his own robe on Shen Qingqiu. He looks like he wants to eat him alive. 'I see that Shizun has gotten over his aversion to my clothing.'
Shen Qingqiu’s skin prickles, and he once again considers taking the robe off. He doesn’t think it’ll help. Unless he wants it back? This is his only layer!"
Or, Luo Binghe pays Shen Qingqiu an intimate visit post-clothes-ripping, triggering consequences that force them both to make a choice.

Read the warnings, buckle in if you're riding along, it's a water-prison mpreg story. Aka I will and can read all of the lbh x sqq fanfic and you can't stop me.

Lol, my friend is looking trough my posts and is corecting all my spelling mistakes. IN MY DEFENCE, english isn't my first language, but it’s still funny hdidhdid
ANYWAY! Out of boredom, I made a silly little poem about love! I'm aroace (or better said demi-romantic and asexual) and I wrote a poem about my view on love!
"Love is a word I never understood
From since I was so very young.
Everyone told me it's like "magic",
But yet, by Cupid I was never stung.
Throughout the time I felt so weird...
Why was it only me,
Who just could not feel the romance
When others were flooded by it like a sea?
Now I grew and understood,
that love is so much more than that!
It comes in all shapes and forms,
Everywhere you look at!
I love my friends and family,
that I can not hide.
I love my cat, I love my home,
And I can say it with lots of pride!
So even though Cupid missed me,
He's ignoring me at the time,
I learned that love is more than romance!
And after all, I wasn't left aside."
I'm actulay kinda proud of it, considering I don't really write poems! My friend actulay inspired me a lot hdhdje. I hope anyone that sees this can enjoy it too! HAVE A GOOD DAY/NIGHT HDHSHSHHD :3
P.s: My friend just told me that "Time" and "Aside" don't rhyme, BUT idc, cause I don't wana change it lol

bpd is super cool and fun bc if i am attached to someone and they like someone else more than me, i either:
resent the person i have never met (bc they're better than me)
resent the person i am attached to (bc they don't like me more)
OR
resent myself (for not being good enough)
and it usually happens bc the other person has a fucking romantic interest in the person they "like more". fam i do not even want that with you why am i acting like it's a competition
it also happens with best friends though. like. why does my little pea brain think i need to be the ~best friend~ of everyone i latch onto like a parasitic worm. that's too many people i can't be a best friend every time
and on one memorable occasion, i felt it about a FUCKING CAT, which is all new levels of pathetic (me and the cat became friends though)
