This praying mantis standing its ground 

(via)

The thing about this that absolutely kills me is the person operating the excavator is gently trying to shoo the mantis away with the giant machine and the mantis is still trying to pick a fight with it

I get the same way when people try to help me.

sparklecryptid Why does this remind me of you?

Hmmmmm

Hmmmmmmmm

Kinda wanna make her…..a Noctis sister……maybe Aulea had her before Aulea herself married Regis….hmmmm

Made with this

…she actually looks a lot like Regis. Those eyes, that skin, that hair - hm.

What if she’s a Regis/Aulea baby, but illegitimate? IE, Regis came home from his roadtroip to find that he had a daughter - *before* he got married to Aulea. So she’s technically illegitimate and not in line for the throne - which suits her just fine, all things considered.

Ooohhhh now that’s an idea I haven’t thought of before! But honestly? I like the idea and now I’m fishing up a backstory for her with that idea because

She is very much an oops baby. And Mors likely disapproved a lot. And maybe- maybe if Regis came home later than planned and Aulea already had their daughter Mors might do something unwise.

Like take the child and tell Aulea and later Regis that their baby was murdered.

(She’s given a good life. She’s given a life where she has to work but it’s still good and she doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty.

She lives in Lestallum, and her name is Alice and she’s always wondered why her foster father told her to never go to Insomnia.)

sparklecryptid

…I hope she gets to meet Regis. At least once. 

Or - ooooh. Regis is *very* surprised at how he’s not confined to the Ring post-death. And Regis!daughter - okay, I’m just gonna call her Nephrite as a use-name, because of the eyes - is very surprised to find herself essentially being haunted by the ex-King of Insomnia. 

Either that, or I suddenly have the mental image of Noctis and go basically stumbling onto her property, and Neph just. Looking down at this bunch of young men who got stuck in the pit trap she’s set defensively on the borders of her lands.

strangelock221b:

My best advice for fic writers?

Get thee an enabler.

By that, I mean that you should have a friend who will encourage you to write whatever makes you happy. 

Self-indulgent stuff you think no one else will like? They’ll devour it. 

You’ve stumbled into a new ship? They’ll send you all the prompts you could ever want.

Every fic writer should have someone like that.

kuusamaagi: Hey btw, another worldbuilding thing:

kuusamaagi:

 Hey btw, another worldbuilding thing: You can, and actually should have weird and impractical cultural things. They’re not inherently unrealistic, for as long as you address the realistic consequences as well.

 Let’s say you’ve got a city where there’s tame white doves everywhere. They’re not pests, they’re regarded as sacred, holy protectors of the city, and the whole city cares for them and feeds them like they’re pets. They’re so tame because it’s a social taboo to hurt or scare one. Nice pretty doves :)

 Then someone points out that even if they’re not seen as pests, doesn’t having a completely unchecked feral pigeon population - that not only isn’t being culled, but actively fed and cared for - mean that there would be bird shit absolutely all over the place?

 A part of you wants to say no, because these are your nice, pretty doves. To explain that there’s a reason why they’re not shitting all over the place, maybe they’re super-intelligent and specifically bred and trained to not shit all over the place. The logistics of how, exactly, could anyone breed and train a flock of feral birds go unaddressed.

 An even worse solution would be to not have those birds, editing them out of the world. No, they spark joy, you can’t just toss them out!

 Now, consider: Yes, yes they would, but the city also has an extensive public sanitation service that’s occupied 90% of the time by cleaning bird shit off of everything. One of the most common last names in the area actually translates to “one who scrapes off dove shit”, and it’s a highly respected occupation. And thanks to the sheer necessity of constantly regularly cleaning everything, the city enjoys a much higher standard of cleanliness, and less public health issues caused by poor public sanitation.

 The doves do protect the city. By shitting fucking everywhere.

You’re a child. An infant. Your mocking is thus infantile. He’s not my boyfriend. This man is more to me than you can dream. He’s the moon when I’m lost in darkness and warmth when I shiver in cold. And his kiss still thrills me even after millennia. His heart overflows with the kindness of which this world is not worthy of. I love this man beyond measure and reason. He’s not my boyfriend. He’s all and he’s more.

wow how about that

Reblogged so fucking fast.

yo, i SMASHED that reblog button 

Contrary to many romance movies…

You don’t start a romantic relationship! By just walking down the street and talking to random strangers!!!

People aren’t single because they don’t want to put themselves in potential danger holy shit

Why some men are single:

They approach complete strangers.

Talk to women who clearly don’t want to socialize.

Feel entitled to a woman’s attention.

IT GOT BETTER!

A Couple of Misfits

thecaffeinebookwarrior:

While delivering presents to the circus, Rudolph meets a baby elephant. The little pachyderm has ears that flank his head like enormous flower petals, huge in proportion to his body.

“I’ve heard of you,” he says, trunk curled bashfully. “They laughed and called you names, till you were useful to them. Then everyone loved you, and acted like that never happened.” 

The elephant’s eyes are like drops of amber, glistening in the candy-red glow of Rudolph’s nose. He feels like he’s seen that look before, on an island he used to visit.

“Yes. I was a misfit, too,” he says. What he doesn’t say is that he’s still a misfit, that the feeling of not belonging is as impossible to shake as a persistent memory.

“They’re all so nice to me now, and I feel like I have to forgive them,” the elephant continues. “Everyone who ever called me names. It’s like they don’t remember. But I remember.” His ears quiver like leaves, plaintive. “Does it ever stop hurting?”

Rudolph can hear the jangle of bells as the other reindeer shift behind him, uncomfortable at the reminder of their own behavior. Rudolph doesn’t care. He loves them, but he’s given them enough. He won’t coddle their feelings.

“I hope so,” he says. 

There’s art now, too!
