intro!

Hi! My name's Willow (aka Illie) and I make art and write and play D&D and hyperfixate on things :3

This blog is for me to post art, fics, and rambles about whatever I feel like chattering about :) let's please keep politics/disputes out of this space, I just want to have fun and share things I like

I highly suspect I have ADHD and/or autism and I struggle with tone and social cues, so please use tone indicators and make it clear what you mean or I will probably misinterpret!

Twisted Wonderland

DSMP (specifically all things Technoblade and Philza)

Life Series (just getting into it, no spoilers please)

The Cosmere (and all things Brandon Sanderson)

Silly Game Time: The last song you listened to is now the theme song for the rest of your life. Which song is it, and what does that suggest the rest of your life will be like?

(For me, it happened to be Tom Cardy's "Transcendental Cha-Cha-Cha". Which I guess means I'm gonna be embracing the absurdism of existence and start being willing to dance.)

If we count songs I unconsciously heard, because they played somewhere, it’s American Pie by Donn McLean

@elronthemage @sunflowerrosy @loftwingofcrimson @butterfly-teacup

[sunflowerrosy]

Lol Wolves of the Revolution by The Arcadian Wild which yk I’m not complaining :3

@elronthemage @northernhealer @loftwingofcrimson @carb0n-m0n0xide @thebookishkiwi @butterfly-teacup @piddlepog64

[butterfly-teacup]

oooh the Arcadian Wild!! Sick!

I was listening to Good Kid last night, so my last song was Coffee...

*goes to look up lyrics*

ummm I guess I'm going to be in love with someone who's going to be the only person I care about? but I'll constantly forget about their love and succumb to the stress of life and need them to remind me of it?

errrr...

@thestoryteller-thedreamer @ilikecarousels @crowleys-mortalcounterpart @deltenner @atthispointeverythingischaos anybody want to share?

[deltenner]

the last song I listened to… is the limited life song by evil anvil? So basically I think I’m screwed XDDDDD

off the top of my head, moots who I think might like this:

@phoenixrainsfire413 @laladragon @peskybirdonyx @strawbxrrypies @cee-views @genderless-spiderlily @teoda-hesperides-garden @vividcomet @ivysbea @keyriingz @amillefolium and open tags of course! /nf

[laladragon]

Long Live the Queen by Frank Turner...

Oh no...

I don't feel like tagging moots so yeah

[laladragon]

It's been four years since "so long nerds" was published.

I honestly can't believe it's been four whole years - it feels like all the time since COVID has just been one big long crazy fever dream.

I got into Technoblade's videos August of 2023. At first, I didn't know that he was dead - and when I found out, I was devastated. Due to what I believe is a combination of my religious beliefs concerning death and the fact that I didn't know him personally, that pain has lessened, but it hasn't disappeared completely.

I miss him so much. I wish he was still alive.

Technoblade had a positive impact on so many lives, and continues to help people even now. He's a true legend, and I (and so many others) will never be able to forget him.

Technoblade lives on when we watch his videos, talk about him, write about him, draw him, make beautiful tributes to him. He may no longer be here on this Earth, but he still lives in our hearts.

Technoblade never dies. Fly high, king.

[finally finished a book dedicated ENTIRELY to caring for an owl, bringing in some food for the thing into his apartment and a few utilities for the thing. It could have been an anomaly sent to kill him because he was, also, an anomaly (anomalies were always in a relationship of competition), but he couldn’t care less.]

“Y’know—”, [he began while looking at the owl] “—even if you were to kill me, I could just turn back time and keep myself alive, y’know?” [he told the thing that was probably not listening.]

[he was lonely, sue him.]

@laladragon I need the owl

[laladragon]

*The owl squawks when Techno mentions the possibility of his death, it seems almost offended at the implication that it would try to kill him. It hops closer to him and rubs its fluffy head against his hand, cooing happily.*

[bladethetraveller]

“…I could keep you in the next loop.” [he flipped through the book again] “It doesn’t say anything like “owl’s health will deteriorate if it goes through the Aldrich horrors.”.” [he looked at it]

“what do you say?”

[laladragon]

*The owl chirps happily, hopping onto his shoulder and leaning down to look at the book. It rubs its head on the side of his face - it's got very soft feathers, as always.*

[bladethetraveller]

“Exactly. You get me—“ [then he realized that he never named the owl] “—…owl.”

[laladragon]

*The owl chitters happily, then hops onto the table. It clicks its beak twice, then flaps over to the bookshelf. It pulls out a botany book ((OOC for plot reasons we're gonna say Techno has a botany book)) and carries it over to the table. It uses its beak to flip through the book until it reaches a page depicting a willow tree. It taps the page with its talon and makes a chittering noise.*

MY LITTLE BROTHER MADE ME TECHNOBLADE OUT OF AIR DRY CLAY

THIS IS SO AMAZING

[laladragon]

All right guys, I've got two roleplay blogs up and running! One for Techno and one for Malleus

Go check them out!

They're @potatopig1116 and @tsunotarou178!

[cptblade]

*Techno finds Willow below deck, laying on the floor, unconscious. The way they're positioned makes it seem most likely that they've passed out.*

[When Willow woke up, they were placed onto a bed with something cold (a rag) over their head.]

[That was Techno’s doing since he assumed that it was the sun that had caused them to black out like this. Or Tommy or the other infestations.]

[Techno was sitting at the bedside, doing work. He noticed they were awake but didn’t know what to say to them, ultimately resulting in silence.]

[laladragon]

*Willow blinks and sits up slowly*

"...Captain? What... oh." *They rub their forehead.* "I must've stood up too fast... Y'know, I always said that I'd pass out one day cuz I kept standing up too fast... I, uh..."

*Willow clears their throat.* "Anyways... sorry for, uh, taking up your time..."

"For future reference, you should probably know that I have this illness that makes it hard for me to stand for more than a few minutes cuz my blood pools... and that's why I passed out earlier, cuz I stood up too fast." *They rub the back of their neck.*

"Um... yeah. Thanks for helping. Sorry for being a bother... I can leave if you like."

[bladethetraveller]

*A snowy owl flaps up to Techno and lands on the sidewalk in front of him. It stares at him with bright yellow eyes.*

”…”

[That HAS to be an anomaly. Owls don’t just… do that. Despite that, Techno walks over to it and crouches RIGHT IN ITS FACE]

“Coo.”

[what an onomatopoeia. He then stands up and walks away from it. What was the point of audibly saying ‘coo’ (not even cooing. Just the word) to the owl, only he and the Gods knew.]

[laladragon]

*The owl coos in response and flies up and sits on his head. It has very soft feathers.*

[bladethetraveller]

“Guess you’re going home with me, now let me tell you about my loop from before! This was awful!”

[he then began ranting about the last loop. This was an owl. Of course it couldn’t understand him.]

((actual rant down below))

“Okay, let’s hope you’re not an evil witch getting my secrets for the fun of it.” [he joked, grinning. He was one hell of a lonely guy.] “So, there’s this thing where I met some really cool guy and I got a green bracelet from him. It was beads, really, he said that his friend dared him to offer it to someone because he thought that it was the ugliest thing ever, but I didn’t agree. The thing’s nice, it’s in my house now. I hoard stuff, like, shinies and things akin to it. There was a little forest motif on it. He was that popular singer I don’t listen to like, ever. Y’know, the one who started a boy band? The one who people literally drool over? He’s cringe, I’ll tell you that. He’s, like, so cringe. Sure, he might be a funny guy, but overall his fanbase is a bit… weird. I think I met him a few loops back and that he was overall terrible, but he was going insane at that time. Can’t blame a man when he’s on the ground crying, can I?” [pause…] “I absolutely can, actually, screw you. Cringe! Cringeee!” [he then took out his keys and started unlocking the door] “Moral of the story: that bracelet is amazing. I’ll show it to you once I get inside.”

[laladragon]

*The owl coos happily, it seems to be listening attentively. It snuggles into his hair, nibbling on one of the strands affectionately*

[bladethetraveller]

[he set it down onto the table]

“I… actually hate time loops, to be honest.”

[laladragon]

*The owl bobs its head in a way that seems almost understanding. It nuzzles his hand comfortingly, making a soft chittering noise.*

[bladethetraveller]

[he opened the window because, well, he can’t really take care of a bird.]

[laladragon]

*The bird coos, nuzzles his hand once more, then flies out the window.*

[bladethetraveller]

*A snowy owl flaps up to Techno and lands on the sidewalk in front of him. It stares at him with bright yellow eyes.*
