the world is cold but my bed is warm

why did i know you'd give me those two? xxD

• Who was the one to propose: Switchblade, because he's a romantic motherfucker.
• Who stressed more over wedding planning: Apostasia, because she has no chill.
• Who decorated the house: Does Switchblade decorate stuff? Because Apostasia is a very utilitarian person (though not quite as bad as Husk). Mystery brought knicknacks.
• Who does the cooking: Switchblade. Apostasia sometimes supplies moonshine, though.
• Who is more organized: Aaapostasia, I'd say? (Or rather, Husk is. (This is an OT4, lbr here))
• Who suggested kids first: Biologically, suddenly babyvirus did. But Apostasia has been adopting strays for a loooong time.
• Who’s the cuddler: Both. They're disguistingly touchy-feely with each other, and have been for the past like 10 million years.
• Who’s the big spoon/little spoon: Switch is the big spoon, because Apostasia is smol
• What’s their favorite non-sexual activity: Biking through the city, causing mayhem
• Who comes home drunk at 3am: Both.
• Who kills the spiders: Neither of them have anything against spiders, unless they start making trouble, then it's whoever's there. (Usually Husk, because bugs in the hardware)
• Who falls asleep first: It's a tossup. Apostasia's sleeping rhythm is a fucking mess, but Switchblade has been known to out-stamina her. It's because he actually sleeps sometimes.
• A head canon: During battle, they came up with an accidental stunt that involved Switchblade throwing Apostasia, and it even worked. They spent the next few cycles trying to replicate, and then perfect it, because they're nerds.
• Their relationship summed up in a gif: Just one? Hang on, that's gonna be a bit tricky.

• Do they have any “rituals”? Every week they take an evening off and just chill in their living space, Apostasia flopped on Switchblade.
• Who has the most patience? Switchblade, purely because Apostasia has none. (Mystery is a good contender, too)

 

i am in awe of that gif, especially because i can practically hear the exact thought process that would lead half of this mess of a mafia planet to making this an actual official league sport, whatever it is

 

Other contenders for the gif/image:

• 0 days since incident
• boy that escalated quickly
• the one with the bear mascot being very excited about something getting flambé'd
• any of the deal with it with shades floating down
• that one where a van drives towards a tidal wave, stops, does a three point turn, and drives away again
• that one with the biker who jumps off his bike, parkours across some fence posts, and then jumps back on it, all in full speed
• the one with a karkat cosplayer and a terezi cosplayer on a playground car, with the caption "follow that car!"
• that scene from inception: "the limit does not exist"
• banging the oven door and playing the trombone

 

Apostasia actually has some patience, but it all goes into waiting for any hint of Cyclonus' continued existence so she can kill him.

 

gonna meme at myself for a bit "_"

Lance/Nimue:

• Who was the one to propose: Lance. Nimue kind of forgot that's a thing they could do -- it's atypical for the high rulers to marry, and there was the whole mess what with them being responsible for countries in different dimensions.
• Who stressed more over wedding planning: Nimue, until Lance offered a traditional Kanto wedding, because it would piss everyone off.
• Who decorated the house: They have decorating wars.
• Who does the cooking: They both have staff to do the cooking, but both have been brb adventuring enough to manage basic nutrition.
• Who is more organized: Nimue -- Lance just learned to delegate to someone else.
• Who suggested kids first: Lance. It was a joke, it would piss off the people who'd already been pissed off by the wedding itself and the style. Nimue went and ran with it.
• Who’s the cuddler: He doesn't look the part, but Lance. Comes with being a dragon trainer. Nimue isn't disinclined, though.
• Who’s the big spoon/little spoon: Nimue is big spoon, otherwise their hair would strangle Lance.
• What’s their favorite non-sexual activity: Adventuring, and busting people.
• Who comes home drunk at 3am: Nimue, because they needed to drink to suffer the company of the courts, or whoever they're dealing with atm.
• Who kills the spiders: Neither. They're chill with spiders.
• Who falls asleep first: Lance has a well-trained skill to fall asleep immediately on any spot, and wake up just as fast.
• A head canon: If Nimue weren't Fisher King bound to the Land of Howls and Haze, they'd have ditched it to live in Kanto. They hate the courts and the fact that the well-being of the Land is linked directly to them. And there's been no suitable heir yet, all contenders were deemed too weak by Nimue and either killed in one-on-one combat, or relieved of their heir status and joined Nimue's court. Lance, meanwhile, thought that being the Champion would give him more freedom to do the stuff he wanted to do unhindered. He was wrong about that. But he can't just chuck the title, otherwise Giovanni grabs it, and that's not an option Lance is willing to consider. If there were a suitable successor, he'd pass on the job and go adventuring again.
• Their relationship summed up in a gif:

• Do they have any “rituals”? Whenever they visit a new place, or revisit a place they haven't been for a long time, or a change in leadership happened since their last visit, they race against each other to battle all the strong trainers.
• Who has the most patience? Both can lay in wait, but where Lance cuts loose quicker, Nimue has a ridiculous level of composure. You probably won't notice the moment either of them loses their patience with you, until you find yourself face to face with your death.

 

Abigail/Sebastian/Thela

• Who was the one to propose: Abigail and Sebastian, at the same time. They planned it.
• Who stressed more over wedding planning: None were particularly into traditional weddings, so they made it a quite chill, low-key goth wedding.
• Who decorated the house: It was Thela's before Abigail and Sebastian moved in, but both supplied their own unique touches outside of their lairs. (They also argue over such things as wallpaper, flooring, carpets, kitchen counters, the patchwork mixture of their furniture...)
• Who does the cooking: Cooking is on a rotation. Sebastian makes breakfast, Abigail lunch, and Thela dinner, but sometimes they switch it around for a few days, depending on what's happening/planned. Thela has been teaching Abigail and Sebastian though -- both were classic bachelors before they all hooked up. Thela knows the drill, she'd lived off microwave and deep-frozen food while she'd worked for Joja, but changed up her diet when she took over her grandfather's farm.
• Who is more organized: As if any of them were organized. Thela and Sebastian swear up and down they have a system, even if it's indiscernible. Abigail just doesn't care.
• Who suggested kids first: Thela wants kids more than the other two, but is also very ambivalent about it due to a family history of birth defects, one such birth defect having almost killed Thela and their twin Salbrak. So it's not on the table at the moment.
• Who’s the cuddler: Trick question. All three of them.
• Who’s the big spoon/little spoon: Thela is big spoon, always -- she's usually the last one to go to sleep and the first one to stand up. Sebastian would make for a decent middle spoon if that didn't mean he couldn't slip out for late-night/early-morning bike rides, and that's why Abigail is the middle spoon and Sebastian the little spoon.
• What’s their favorite non-sexual activity: Heading down into the mines to fight monsters, and playing video games together.
• Who comes home drunk at 3am: Abigail and Sebastian, from their weekly friday night saloon meetup with Sam (and Gabriel, later)
• Who kills the spiders: Thela or Sebastian -- neither of them mind spiders that much, but Abigail is terrified of them.
• Who falls asleep first: Abigail. Sebastian usually has too much coffee in his system.
• A head canon: Thela has absolutely zero qualms about murdering someone who crosses her or her family. Sebastian helps hide the bodies. Abigail has the alibis ready.
• Another headcanon: Their poly relationship was the source of concern for their parents for a while. There were suspicions of two-timing, but no, it's a threesome, their arrangement seems to work out to the participant's satisfaction.
• Their relationship summed up in a gif:

• Do they have any “rituals”? Snowfall means snowball fight, and building an igloo. Each year, the igloo becomes more elaborate. On a smaller scale, they all spend friday nights at the saloon. And whoever's birthday it is gets gently put outside while the other two prep food for a birthday dinner. (there's a lot more rituals, tied to the seasons and local festivals and the first green breaking through the snow...)
• Who has the most patience? Abigail is sick of sitting on her thumbs and tends to rush into things, Sebastian is a bit more mellow but he has even less patience for certain people and opinions. Thela has learned patience and composure from Joja, but has not that much more actual patience. Also, see the first headcanon.

 

Cyclonus thought he was helping. (He still believed in righteousness back then)

Too bad it was the wrong people who heard about the flashdrive and the beastformer being more clever, resourceful, and irreverent than they were allowed to be.

Apostasia knows he could be a moron sometimes, but also refuses to believe he could've been that stupid. So she's about 97.5% sure that he sold them out on purpose. She just wants to know why before she gets her revenge.

 

another dream my mind thinks ive dreamt before.

a ghost ship and its ghost crew. most know theyre dead already and will merrily chat with you, but one ghost doesnt, and she'll put you in the brig if she spots you.
the ship is not where they died.
a notebook, containing several strings of numbers (coordinates of a sort, but relative?) and sketches of things, all disjointed, but supposedly indicating treasure.
you travel with a living crew on a small research vessel and, one evening, you see that the image of the setting sun (which for some reason was four shining squares in a line) matches one of the sketches in the clue book. one of the crew members dive down, and comes back up with a satchel full of coin.
you dont salvage the wreck now, its too dangerous. but you know where it is.
theres also an island nearby. you hope the locals arent aggressive.
but as you approach, you see the houses are in ruins, and no one is alive here anymore.
in one house thered be a hidden attic room if the roof hadnt been gone already. its a study, bookshelves, fireplace, a safe, a desk -- and a corpse.
you recognize the face, you met that mans ghost on the ghost ship. this is where the crew died.
his journal informs you that he will not give up and leave this place, and you remark that that was a stupid decision -- if they all had left theyd still be alive.
suddenly screaming from downstairs. your crew has been followed -- unofficial official people, dealing with keeping stuff like this covered and making sure the powers that be get their cut (read: all of it).
you hide the notebook in the safe and cons down the stairs, just to be stabbed in the leg.

thats when i woke up.

 

not too keen on even remembering last nights dream. it featured an ooc version of my dad trying to guilt me.

also there was a slight accident with a carton of milk and my phone got soaked (its ok). the pic of darkrai i have on the back got the brunt of it, but it looks washed out and awesome now oo00
i wanna see if i can replicate that style digitally.

 

somewhere between sodas & skateboards, cyberbullies (but less overly saturated, jeez) and cool sunsets :P

 

Cyverbullies and excuse u ivy. Just enough staturated. :p

 

*it sears my eyes*

 

... ... brain. brain, are you trying to say that you rate gender words not based on how they fit, but how they sound?!

city girl: yes
city boy: no
stadtmädchen: no
stadtjunge: yes

-throws hands up- i give up on trying to make sense of this bullshit.

 

whispers
city-bee

 

another intersting dream plot

postapoc. three things:
- some places are still pretty intact its just that the electronic etc infrastructure and society are gone, and some places are hella dangerous because vengeful ghosts
- everyone has some kind of power -- but unless youve awakened it, it only fires sporadically. (most people protag met were friendly, just parts of other groups)
- theres barriers. they can be erected by people whose powers have awakened, and theres different types, but the dream only explained one: you only know its position if youre inside it. you go out, you forget its position and entrance

they usually start out as shielding one house, but with more powered people they can be expanded

protags power was a weird as fuck portal -- some sort of parallel dimension swamp, with a lot of different eye things poking out of the ground. every eye lead to a different place. if protag focused on a certain place when entering the eye portal swamp (and they could take other people with them, too), a copy of the eye portal they were looking for appeared in the sky

mostly protag was doing random jumps, exploring, looting, and chatting with other scavengers/survivors

 

Spoiler: medical bullshit

had a painful swelling on the inner sider of my thigh where the leg connects to the rest of the body. started saturday night and was aggravated by pressure.
last night the swelling had spread in narrow, branching lines and i was like "oook no i think i need to talk to a doc about this.", but this morning its almost gone? if its back tonight ill go tomorrow, tho.

Spoiler: body horror/mutilation dreams ahoy

two if them, actually. one in which my lungs were so infested by a fungus it couldnt be removed and i could only breathe with its spores in the air.

the other, i cut off the distal phalanges of some of my fingers, dream me retained them but they were sown on and stung, and sewed the cut off parts into a small finger doll. i remember looking at the thing and thinking "what the fuck is wrong with me."
you and me both, dream me, you and me both.

 

I hope whatever it is stops bothering you.

 

it's worth maybe going to the doctor about it anyways and describing the symptoms as best as you can just in case it gets worse again?

Spoiler: medical stuff

There's a lymphknot in that region more or less, so it's possible you have some weird infection that just got beaten to a pulp by your immune system and that's why the swelling's down again, but that still sounds worth keeping an eye on.
