Hi, I am Atre (they/them). I started my journey in Loki's Army, now I preach that death is a mug's game. Either I admire the art of the giants upon whose shoulders I stand, or I dabble into art myself, hoping I can match up. Queer and disabled. I season all of my food with the neurospice. Astrophysicist by trade. I love cats and makeup. Come say hi! :) Oh, and I love roleplaying, anyone interested? :) Cover art by the insanely talented @five-and-dimes

Nova to candlelight

Never close enough and yet never too far Wrapped in blankets rough, speechless, where is the bar? Touching like a hammer, touching like a feather And still Don’t bend to my will

Never far enough and yet never too close Blacker than a dove, midnight dawn is my dose Glowing like a nova, glowing like a candle And still Don’t bend to my will

Climbing castle walls, it’s a long known affair And whoever falls is the first one to get there Chasing fireflies in the light of the pyres Are they the sacrificial or the hopeful fires?

Now! I call upon your name Now! Would you leave me in shame Now! There is no time like tomorrow Just don’t forget I will have drowned in the sorrow

Never bright enough and yet never too dim Symbolism’s tough, should put that on a film Speaking like a thunder, speaking like a wing’s beat And still I bend to your will

Never dim enough and yet never too bright One moment’s gentle fluff is a next moment’s fight Soothing like a war horn, soothing like a caress And still I bend to your will

Sieging castle walls, it’s a long known affair The first gate that falls is the last to repair Chasing water springs in the roar of the ocean Are the chains just made or about to be broken? Now! I call upon their name Now! Is anyone to blame? Now! There is no time like yesterday Just don’t forget there was no time to play

And maybe, just maybe, the voices will quiet Maybe, just maybe, it’s time for a riot!

No! Don’t let the thunder drown out the wings! No! Don’t let the ocean take over the springs! No! Don’t let the hammer break the feather! Nova to candlelight, it does get better!

No matter what I fear No matter what they lie about The castle falls one day Sunshine returns without a cloud

I have to tell myself Night is darkest before the morning ‘til the battle ends, we find peace now in the longing

What does not make sense today Will be in history books, they say And when I can’t stand, you hold me It’s reversed the next day

Maybe we are not destined To know our fate until the last second More than one hand… more than one bond.

[five-and-dimes]

Thank you so much @atreqhukea for the ko-fi commission! I chose a piece from my ref files that never made it to any of the official commission posts. I hope you like it! 🥰

I know I said I was only reopening the $3 lingerie commissions for a day. I lied. Commission me.

[atreqhukea]

Sunflowers

For my beloved partners @hob-gadlings-hope and their husband <3

Golden rays fall from the sky No hail no rain just need to fly Touching sunkissed auburn hair In a life that isn’t fair Rolling through like nothing’s new And yet the feeling pushes through Sometimes you don’t know what’s there Until you bear what you can bear

Moonlight descends from above It’s feather-light, white like a dove A light caress that never could Hurt a diamond pure and good In a world not built for one Who needs their limits halfway done But in a simple line that dropped All of the doubts and fears are stopped 

You’ve outshone the Sun a hundred thousand times The truth is in the lies  I know for sure who my heart loves You’ve erased the gap between the fools and wise The fun is in the lies The both of you are now my loves

You’ve defined anew all of my mortal ties The love is in the lies I love, you love, they love, three loves

Quiet clicks of typewriters The admiration, waved lighters Flickering of movie lights Unexpected kiss, butterflies And now the field of sunflowers Is watered to sound of hours Hands clasped, wrapped in ribbons, laces We’ll be betting on the aces

You’ve outshone the Moon forty million thousand times The hope is in the lies  I know without doubt of two loves You’ve erased the fear between the loss and prize The fight is in the lies Anything for the one who loves

You’ve defined a whole dictionary of ties The now is in the lies I love, you love, they love, three loves

I never thought I’d find you among the endless field of sunflowers I never hoped I’d love you, we’ve been locked on top of high towers And still we run and push and break all that tries to be in our way Three pairs of rings adorned with ivies, eternity promised to stay

You’ve outshone the universe now countless times The bond is in the lies  I know forever of my loves You’ve erased the unknown with silence and cries The loss is in the lies No less could be done for those loves

You’ve rewritten the rules for emotion size The choice is in the lies I love, you love, they love, three loves

You’ve outshone the Sun a hundred thousand times The truth is in the lies  I know for sure who my heart loves You’ve erased the gap between the fools and wise The fun is in the lies The both of you are now my loves

You’ve defined anew all of my mortal ties The love is in the lies I love, you love, they love, three loves

Good morning! I’m salty.

I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.

This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.

You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.

“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.

If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.

[zandracourt]

This needs to be reblogged today.

[justsparethoughts-deactivated20]

Consenting to see adult content doesn’t mean you should have to see a bunch of shit romanticizing incest and pedophilia you walnut

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

Except this is the last line of consent before the actual work. So if you’re at this button you have already done the following:

1) chosen to go onto AO3 in the first place

2) chosen the fandom you wish to read about

3) had the chance to filter for the things you do want to see like a specific pairing or a specific AU

4) had the chance to specifically filter out any tags you don’t want to see like, oh I don’t know, incest and non-con and dub-con and paedophilia

5) had the chance to set the rating level if you wish to remove any explicit content at all

6) have read the summary of the story, which aren’t always great but are the only indicator of what the story will be like writing wise so something about it was good enough for you to click on it.

7) have read the tags of the story which will tell you what is actually in the story. If you have used filters to remove stories with things you don’t want then there shouldn’t be anything in here that’s a shock to you but maybe there is. That’s why the tags are there for you to check for yourself.

8) Then you have to actually click on the story. You cannot see anything other than the summary or the tags without personally deciding that you are going to open and read this story.

9) Only here, at step number nine, do you get to the adult content warning pictured above. You have been through eight different steps, the last six of which have also been opportunities for you to see that this has adult content. And AO3 has *STILL* stopped you to ask one last time “are you sure you want to read this because it has things that only adults should see in it”.

If after this point you are reading incest and paedophilia then it’s probably because you specifically went looking for it.

You walnut.

This is the most beautiful thing that I have seen about ao3

i...have a feeling this might be your jam. it's a loose idea more than something completely fleshed out, but. something like, the dreaming reaching for help while dream himself is in the fishbowl, and in hob's dream maybe? the dreaming manifests as a headless morpheus. like, dream is the head, dreaming is the body; headless body trying to find someone to help kind of thing...

Ohohoh, you are correct- I love the visuals of this, the metaphor and symbolism.

Plus here's something about Hob being able to recognize Dream by his body- even wearing different clothes and having no face- that is just 👌👌👌

I'm imagining in the dream that The Dreaming reaches out for help, and Hob is confused but takes his hands and then looks down like "...oh. I know these hands. I've dreamed of these hands before." and that's how he knows it's his stranger 🥺

Excuse me while I cry 7 rivers of tears now, I love it T_T

Heya! ✨ Hopefully not a too much of a far-fetched ask here! Looking for someone (20+) to write in a Sandman plot with their OC (f preferred) against my Morpheus/Dream! I have a kind of vague au plot idea diverging from the first season of the Netflix adaptation...Chock full of angst and I'd love to yap ooc about plot ideas and other threads we could run! I'm an adv-lit multi-para/novella style writer looking for someone with a similar style and enthusiasm. Interact with this post and I'll reach out! :)

This is so sweet that it made me cry ❤️

I don't know about you guys but i really miss seeing "high fantasy" dragons in media, high fantasy dragons are like Smaug (The Hobbit), Draco (DragonHeart), Saphira (Eragon) and Spyro (Spyro the Dragon games franchise) for example, they have their own free will and cannot be controlled, they are highly intelligent and capable of speaking and even writing or drawing. It seems the version of dragons that has taken over is the animalistic and realistic version, that are basically huge dogs that can breath fire, bring back intellectual dragons that like to make riddles to fool intruders, bring back grumpy dragons that live isolated from everyone but they are actually lonely and in need of a friend, bring back the loyal and brave dragons that are willing to sacrifice themselves to save the ones they love, dragons that will talk to you about the mysteries of the world and the universe, JUST BRING BACK HIGH FANTASY DRAGONS GODDAMIT

[atreqhukea]

Dragons are disappointed with the way we've been depicting them in media as of late. Bring back real dragons.

As a fic writer, i need every reader to know that:

I don’t care if your comment is coherent. I know what you mean and i love you

I don’t care if you ramble. I read every word and i love you

I don’t care if you leave a comment on a fic from four years ago or leave comments/kudos on like ten of my fics in one go. This isn’t IG, pls stalk my AO3. I love you

I don’t care if you mention the same thing in your comment that four other people have already mentioned. It’s actually really useful to know what resonated with people and I love everyone who takes the time to tell me they liked a particular turn of phrase

I don’t mind if your comment is super long or just a couple of sentences, i love them all

I love you

[just-the-hiddles]

Yes to all!
