This is likely the last post you will see from me. I have opted to pull out of Tumblr after today, though you may see me mucking around on the DM system for a little while until everyone has migrated and moved on.
I have loved tumblr and the community it provided. I’ve also hated tumblr for the community it provided, but the good always outweighed the bad.
I’m not a sex worker. I’m not a NSFW artist. I’m likely not even someone who tumblr would purge because of their content—the worst content they’ll see is untagged NSFW fandom art. But, I am a creator. I do write adult content, and I know that when purges happen, they’ll eventually come for you.
I’m nipping this in the bud, now. I’m going to protect myself.
I love you all so very dearly. You can find me at:

Most fans I see tinfoil for fun. It’s fun. They aren’t hurting anyone. Some, however, aren’t. And that is scary.
i’m not saying (and neither is Jeremy) that people shouldn’t speculate and try to guess what ships are going to become canon! it’s fun! i personally love to predict what’s going to happen and who’s going to become canon! but it‘s /not/ fun when people pick every little thing apart and reach when it just isn’t there, that was what Jeremy was trying to point out. Jeremy said he avoids wearing blue and red together, and purple a lot of the time when going to conventions, because ‘hardcore’ Klance fans will go /insane/
[Ah I wanted to make one final project celebrate the conclusion of Ignoct week and say thank you very much to our mods for putting in so much work to make it a festive week for everyone! It motivated me to keep learning and keep moving forward with my art! For me, there is so much happiness in seeing the community come together to share their creations and passions. It is really inspiring! Thank you to everyone who brightened my day with their art/fics/edits/crafts! And thank you to Rsasai for making all of it possible to happen, without your kindness and dedication ignoct week would not have come together to make this wonderful week! Thank you and take care!]

These two are incredibly good friends, and wonderful, wonderful writers. So if that's something you're interested in, use the tag on a donation to the GoFundMe to help cover Vergil’s medical expenses from an INCREDIBLY bad month of luck.
https://www.gofundme.com/5b4ebq8
Background:
Vergil has been to the vet not once this month, not even twice, but three times. The first time he was prescribed an antibiotic for skin lesions that are painful to him and bleed. The second was to hospitalize for a dental, and removal of an oral issue— this ended up not being a problem, but still has a hefty bill attached.
The third time is today, when Vergil was admitted for at least two days of hospitalization to get rid of either a stone, or a crystal based blockage in his urinary tract. He’s had this problem before, and thanks to Pretty Litter we were able to identify the blockage before it became life threatening. He’s a little uncomfortable at worst.
What this means is that for at least two days he’s gone. We can’t see him, we can’t pet him. He’s cold, alone, and scared in a cage with IV’s and a catheter. He’ll live, but as with everything there’s a hefty bill to pay. It’s not as bad as last time— reaching $800 overnight. But along with what we’re still paying out plus his antibiotic(not shown) and prescription food(not shown) we’re in trouble.
Vergil needs your help. Pretty Litter did the guess work, the vet did the foot work, but Tony and I need help with the payments. We live in a city that pays little, and with loans for school, expenses that pile up, and living in a house of two medical car-wrecks, even working full time with two paychecks doesn’t bring in enough to help our baby.
Latest Update: 3/25 3:13AM CST
So it's now... 3AM. I've been awake for 3 days officially watching the cat. He played a little tonight! It was really a good sign, so I'm hoping he'll be okay.
There is a bit of a scare going on right now, as he was fed at 8:30PM and has not urinated. Luckily, our litter box litter changes color when Vergil uses it, so I know for sure when he does and doesn't go. Just. Keeping an eye on him. Vet doesn't open until 12PM tomorrow, so I'm hoping he can hold off that long if there is another blockage.
If not, I have the vet on speed dial.
As usual, we'll keep you updated.
Note: There has been a massive amount of pushback from the last update, since I admittedly panicked over an injury I was not A) notified of B) prepared to handle. This is the same cat. The swelling has receded a bit. I am uploading inventoried receipts to show exactly where every cent is going, and all of it is being sent to a secondary bank account and cannot be touched unless it’s for the cat.
I. am. so nervous.
I was so honoured to do the FFXV Small Secret Santa for no other than the lovely @rsasai!!!
I so so so much hope you’ll like the matching sketch and ficlet. Have some fluffy and quick Christmas Ignoct! Merry Ignoct-mas!
It was that time of the year again when the entrance of the Citadel would be flanked by two enormous Christmas trees, decorated in reds and golds and studded with tiny lights. The main Plaza would light up in ornaments matching the decoration in the trees, bestowing a warm feeling over those who came to see it. The Crown Prince of Lucis however was nowhere to be found.
In his apartment Noctis snuck a messily wrapped small present under the tree. Small bubbles of blue and lavender were dangling from its branches. They tinkled as Noctis withdrew his hand.
„Noct, I’m still finishing the preparation for dessert. May I ask you to not start the handing of presents on your own?“
Ignis was just pulling a tray of pastry out of the oven and a sweet and buttery smell filled the room. Noctis let his eyes run over the beautiful shape of Ignis‘ back, currently covered up in a thick woolen sweater. A mischievous grin scurried over his face.
„Wouldn’t think about it.“
Noctis had darted over in an instant and flung his arms around Ignis‘ slim waist. He buried his nose deep into the area between his shoulderblades and inhaled a breath that smelled of faint cologne, cinnamon and powdered sugar.
Ignis had gone still, his hand balancing a hot tray of pastries.
„This is a rather inconvenient moment to be hugging, Noctis. Would you maybe let me set aside the—ah!“
Not listening to any of his words, Noctis‘ hands started working their way up and under the sweater.
„You know that this is not going to end in simple hugging, Specs“, he grinned into his adviser’s back, a daring smile on his reddened face.
„Noct, please! The plate is going to drop if you—“
The two men went down on the floor with a thud. Miraculously Ignis had managed to turn around in the fall, preventing his Prince to be buried under his body and to still keep the tray balanced on one hand. He groaned, setting aside the plate onto the floor and tried to look at Noctis, who was now lying on his chest.
„That could have ended badly, Highness“, he warned him. Noctis was only grinning at him, biting his lower lip.
„You’ve got to take risks sometimes“, he answered, wriggling himself up into a seated position, right on Ignis‘ belly. „And I guess I scored big this time.“
With a soft rustle of his clothes, Noctis bent down to bring their lips together in a sweet kiss.
Ignis chuckled softly as Noctis pulled away for a short moment. He only managed a few words before his lips were sealed again in warm affection.
rsasai a réagi à votre billet “Honestly though that answer was only one part of everything I feel...”
.... Ignis is mean to everyone. Like. Everyone. He's mean to /Noctis/ and in the next breath is willing to do anything to save him. That's just who Ignis seems to be? And seriously nothing he's even said is all that bad. I don't get why people can't accept that sometimes people who are friends can make fun of one another. They can all take it—they're big boys.
yea! Tough love is a thing and sarcastic little shits are usually fandom favourites so I think we can accept to let Ignis be ruthless. Especially when the others tease him right back
rsasai replied to your post “The worst thing Noct could ever say to Ignis is “I don’t need you.”
And it’s the biggest lie he ever told.
He regrets it as soon as he says it, because it’s really a stupid argument and he shouldn’t have gone that far. But Ignis just nods once, picks up his jacket from the back of the couch, and informs Noct that he’ll be picking him up from school the next day. And he leaves.
But because Noctis doesn’t know how to apologize (honestly, he thinks, have I ever apologized to Ignis?) he doesn’t tell Ignis not to go. And Ignis still does his job and makes Noct’s meals, and it’s cold and awkward whenever he’s in the apartment. Until one day, Noctis stops Ignis before he can pick up his jacket, and he says, “You know, you can stay and work here if you want.” It’s not an apology, but it’s a start. It’s progress.
