Artober 5 - stars

[anon-love-for-u]

@ellohcee always has GORGEOUS art and does some fandom stuff too! It always looks so ethereal, like im hanging off an edge to gaze into the universe to catch a soft, glowy piece as it rises out from the darkness between the stars. On the other hand the jaspvid art is always SO SOFT??? like even the more dramatic aus and drawings have this comforting feel, and holy shit dont even get me started on the angel david piece with all the feathers. Im not usually one to buy prints since i dont really have anywhere to put them, but ellohcee is tbe exception because ive bought like 8 from them. Theyre just. Aaaaaaaaa i love her art so much!!!! <3 <3 <3

Waves back!! Hello my dearest!!

Can I PLEAse get

On my mermaid bullshit again!! VILLAIN AU ROD ORIGINS "My friends need to be punished"????!!!

HELLO!!! MY LOVE!!!

Here are a few snippets and explanations for your good good choices :)

On my mermaid bullshit again

A little fic centered around Rod and my friends' OCs starring Rod's bitey baby cousin who's basically his adopted daughter (Haila) and an unsuspecting love interest who cuts an intimidating silhouette with a tongue to match (Phobos). I think it was inspired by artwork that I'll have to find again but ;) it takes place in a fantasy setting and involves bootleg heist hijinks. This ficlet is a bit outdated tho, since some things changed about Phobos since the last time I worked on this. Ah well!

And of course the shady aquarium just happened to have a weird little girl lingering around the super rare exhibit with the fish seemingly following after her.  And of course this entire scene was setting off too many red flags that screamed, "Leave now or your life will change forever."

But did Phobos listen to the valid little voice in the back of his head?  No, no, of course not.  Of course the weird little girl would see him and make a beeline towards Phobos despite the intimidating figure he cut, mask and all.  Of course the little girl grabbed onto his cloak and tugged with such determination that he couldn't look away.

And of course Phobos looked down and acknowledged her with an annoyed puff of a sigh instead of ignoring her, like he should have done.

"Ex-scooooooooz me!"  She said, and he gave her a glare that she completely ignored.  "But you look like a really strong wizard!  And I need to save a princess!"

He really should have said, "Tough luck, kid", and walked away.  After all, she did say "princess", and he is tremendously gay.

...But at the same time, she said, princess, and princesses have lots of money, don't they?  His plan was to just help the kid, get the cash from the princess, and turn down any marriage proposals she may have had to offer.  So instead, he asked: "Where's your princess?"

And she lit up like he'd just given her the best present ever and maybe it warmed his heart just a bit .

Villain AU Rod Origins

A LONG fic where I elaborate on what happened to my boy Rod that turns him into a "villain" in this au. Greatly influenced by that song, "Hell's Coming with Me". Haila is also a major player here.

"Get out, clean your damn self up." His uncle points towards the hallway as the rest of the family parts. "And maybe once you remember your manners, we'll consider lettin' you have some supper."

Sure. Rod marches out the room and makes a beeline for Haila's room. He ignores how the voices quickly become lively again as they laugh at his expense and gently sets her down on her bed. Haila sniffles and wipes her eyes roughly. Another whines escapes her when her tears don't stop, so he shushes her gently and kneels down. "Hey now," he coos softly, "it's alright."

"Sorry," she says again, hands twisting up in the hem of her shirt, "they got mad because of me, and they- they-"

"Sweetheart, don't pay them no mind." He ruffles her hair, noting how she doesn't look at him. No doubt, he's a sight for sore eyes. Sighing, he takes his bandanna and dabs at his face. It does nothing to stop the bleeding, but at least his vision clears. "Haila," he says, looking around her room and finding her backpack, "can you be a dear and start packin'?"

She flinches and curls into herself. "Are you getting rid of me...?"

"No, sweetpea, don't even let that thought take root." He grabs her backpack and hands it to her. "We're leavin'. Both of us."

"...Just us?"

"Just us."

She finally looks up at him, before looking away with shame. "Sorry," she says again. He sighs through his nose and pulls her into a hug. Haila curls up in his arms and sniffles again.

"What'd I tell ya? It ain't your fault. None of this is. But I ain't standin' for you gettin' hurt. Especially not by them. So no apologies. They hurt you first. You did nothin' wrong. Okay?"

"...Okay."

"Thatta girl." He pulls away and offers her a smile, even though she doesn't look up to see it. "Now pack your things and wear your warmest clothes."

"What if I can't fit everything?"

"Then you take all your important things first. I'll probably have space in my bag, but grab your favorite things, then put in as many clothes as you can. Okay?"

"Okay..." She puts on her most determined face and hops off her bed. "I'll do it."

"Good girl." He pats her head. "I'll only be a sec. Need to grab my things too."

Haila rocks on her heels before looking back up at him. "Come back soon?"

"Faster than you can blink." He winks, and he can feel the way the cuts tug and stretch with the action. Still, Haila gives him a shy smile, and that's all he needs before he quickly steps out and heads to his room.

"My Friends Need to be Punished"

An OOOOOLD WIP that I made because one of friends said some CURSED SHIT with a couple of others that involved my boy, so I was like, "IM GONNA KILL HIM AS PUNISHMENT". It takes place in the Pokemon: Legends Arceus universe and involves Ingo, My Boy, the clan leaders, and Kamado. I got carried away and started writing A Lot about in-universe politics so I had to step back LMAO.

From what Rod had told him, Akari had been attacked by a school of Tentacool being lead by an alpha Tentacruel. The fisherman had been in the area when he saw her fall from Lord Basculegion's back and fail to resurface. He had been quick to rescue her, but the jellyfish pokemon refused to leave the fisherman unscathed. Rod had only just recently removed the bandages from his arms and legs, revealing the new additions to his collection of Tentacool sting scars. Ingo reaches out and gently grasps Rod's arm, feeling over the new healing scars as Rod answers without pause.

"She's doing better. She can tread water now at least. Getting less skittish even when she doesn't have Lord Basculegion around to hold onto."

"Mmmm." The newer scarring wraps around Rod's arm like a grip. He wishes he'd been there to help. Maybe the fisherman would have less scars if Ingo had been there. Maybe-

"Hey." A hand reaches forward to cup Ingo's cheek, his thumb gently brushing underneath his eye. "You're not gettin' all twisted up over these scars again, are you?"

Ingo meets Rod's gaze long enough to see the fondness that's settled in his brown eyes before looking away. "It... bothers me. How many scars you have."

"I hate to break it to ya this way, but the ocean is just as dangerous as those cliffs you like to clamber over so much."

"I would like to believe that I could have prevented some of these." His thumb runs over one of the more prominent scars, tissue running a dark pink line against sunkissed skin. If only he could kiss it away. "Perhaps it's a show of my ego, but I do like to believe that I can at least protect you from some of the dangers that lurk in Hisui's lands."

"Oh, sweetheart," Rod breathes out, "you do more than you realize, I hope you know."

"I feel as though I could be doing more."

"We're both alive, aren't we?" A soft chuckle draws from Rod as Ingo releases his arm. "We're both alive, and that's all that matters right now."

"Hmm." He clings to the hand cupping his cheek and leans into Rod's touch. It'll have to do, he supposes. But still. "Let me protect you, one of these days."

"Maybe, when I'm not the one protecting you," Rod teases lightly, earning an amused huff from Ingo. "Ah, there we go! One of your special li'l smiles." He lifts his gaze up to meet Rod's as the fisherman's familiar bright smile chases away the lingering dread in his chest. "It'll always be a good day if I get to see you smile."

"You're being ridiculous."

"Ridiculous is a strong word. I think I'm being a modest amount of silly, thank you kindly."

Ingo can't help the snort that escapes him as he presses a small kiss to Rod's palm. As the fisherman sputters, Ingo muffles a laugh against his palm despite blushing from his own action.

"Ah," a voice calls out from behind them, "the love of two young, old men!"

Well heelllloooo my beloved~

Let's go wiiiithhhh 4, 8, 16, 26, 55, and 68!

Helloooooo my darling~

4. Where do you find inspiration for new ideas?

Usually through music, but nowadays I've been drawing inspiration from hefty quotes on tumblr and comics where there's a certain Flavor to it that I really like and wanna try with my own takes.

8. Do you prefer the beginning, middle, or end of a story?

The middle! That's where the meat of the fic is, and where my general creativity really goes loose and uncontrolled lol. You can bet that my excess writing collects in the middle and just continues to unravel from there. Beginnings tend to be rough, but once I get a start, I manage to keep on chugging.

Endings are where I really struggle. Don't- [grabs your face to look away at my incomplete but published fics] -don't look over there.

16. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Share one of them?

Oooohh so many. Granted, all of them tend to be centered around my and my friends' OCs, but the one I'm nursing right now is:

Clay (from Pokemon Black and White) has to deal with the grief and guilt of his younger cousin going missing (my OC, Rod, of whom you know), and processes it as healthily as he possibly can. Which is to say, he processes it poorly. There's blame tossed around and angry jealousy/envy towards another figure who's lost a family member.

Takes place just before Legends Arceus truly kicks off, but is set in that universe. I've actually been working on this fic for AGES, and it's only recently returned to bother me in the corners of my brain.

26. Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

GOD. I would have to say... "The Space Between". It was my first true horror fic where I pushed myself to really experiment with my writing. Building the atmosphere, figuring out how to word things just right to drive home the pure terror David was in was a struggle, but a well fought one! I remember putting myself in David's headspace and freaking myself out with horror stuff to get me to really feel and experience what David felt to properly translate the terror into words. I even thought about reading a Stephen King book or two to understand how to write horror! Needless to say, I didn't end up doing that LOL

After all that build up tho came the downhill climb from all that horror tension, which honestly is what got me put into a standstill. Like, how do you write a satisfying conclusion to all that build up? That's still something I need to work on for that fic, and one that's been nagging at me for ages. Hopefully, I'll figure something out. I know how it ends, after all.

55. Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?

...........r Od, my pokémon OC. loL. Writing my own OC has been a pleasure and a joy, just because I can put him into so many situations and throw him into so many AUs with my friends. But also, the biggest appeal of Rod is that he's my own character. I know who he is and why he behaves the way he does better than anyone else - his motives, his drives, his weaknesses. Not only that, but he's a character who can change and grow into something else! He used to be a cis man before my friends and I talked more and more about him until we realized... no, actually, he's a transman. He leaves so much room for experimenting, for discovery and building that it's so much fun to work with him! It's less constraining to work with him than with established characters, and it's also SUCH a breath of fresh air!

My friends DEFINITELY had some part in my choice to write about him. They all just... loved him so much??? Right from conception when he was nothing more than a sock puppet with googly eyes and a fishing pun for a name. They loved him so much that they all breathed the life into him, until I actually had something to work with.

And then they kept playing with him!! Lord did they play with him. So I played dolls with their OCs as well, and this interconnected world with OCs just kinda grew and expanded and became so much fun to explore that I just couldn't not enjoy writing fics about him and their OCs falling in love or being a family or struggling together. A lot of the fics I write of Rod tend to be shared only amongst my friends, but maybe... some day... I'll post something here.

68. What, if anything, do you do for inspiration?

Listen to songs in hopes of getting my writing spunk on. That, or daydreaming! Daydreaming scenarios really helps.

The other thing I do is write my fic on minecraft which is a sane and nor Mal thing to do,

[pika1043]

❤ Hey hey 🐻🌈

Thank you, you beautiful sunflower <3

🐻 Your go-to things to draw when you need comfort?

Drawing Nino or Kirishima will make me happier 87% of the time (unless I’m in a self-deprecating mood and then I may as well not draw anything). I really like drawing my favorite characters. If I’m not in a person-drawing kind of mood though, it’s comforting to just doodle hearts. I really love heart, haha.

🌈 Do you use more warm or cold colors?

I think I tend to lean towards cool colors a little more often but I use both pretty regularly. 

[lairep]

Happy late Birthday!! I hope you had a great day!

I did, yes! Lots of leftover cake here, and I’m still the only one eating it----- 👀

Sorry for the late response though, but thank you so much for the greeting~ It means a lot that you took time out of your day to do so aaaaaaaaaaa

I hope you have a great day always! ❤ (ɔˆз(ˆ⌣ˆc)
