Goodbye, my little gremlin.

2025-09-03T13:25:36Z

CW: Animal death. I will be updating this post with all the pictures of Jonesy over time. I love you, my heart dog. Please join me in remembering a very special little soul that was so full of happiness and life that even other angry, depressed people lit up at his very presence.

On September 1, 2025 I discovered that treating the tumor as an abscess did not work. The skin came off as the vet told me it might and it left a gaping hole underneath his jaw of which I could see the skeleton of his jaw and the front half of his trachea. On September 2, 2025 I made the decision with a heavy heart to put my best friend down because I knew he could not live a good quality life having to sleep with his head tilted at an angle all the time. Not to mention how painful that would be to live like that, I can't imagine that doesn't feel good to have to feel all the time. At all.

Jonesy has been through a divorce with me, he was there waiting for me when I came home from work after being assaulted. I did not want to let my best friend go. At all. He was a family member. He might as well have been my second child. Jonesy could give hugs, he had a really unique way of stretching out on me when I sat down or even when I was standing so I would have no choice but to hug him.

Yesterday I didn't have a whole lot of time but I took him to the beach one last time. He actually took the time to smell things yesterday - something he hasn't done since I noticed the tumor on his lower jaw - and he scarfed down the entire cheeseburger meal I bought for him alone at McDonalds. The tears started again. I tried so hard to beg strong for him but taking him to the beach knowing this would be his last time he got to see it broke me down. Knowing that was his last care ride broke me down. The song that played on the radio on the way to the beach was I think my gods trying to comfort me, trying to let me know I was making the best decision possible and that broke me down even further.

We got to the vet and I let him scarf down the whole bucket of treats. I cried even harder and asked him why he couldn't eat like that at home. My heart was breaking. What if I didn't try hard enough? Why didn't I just put him on a soft food diet to begin with? I felt like shit. I shouldn't have been making him eat hard food with that tumor but I didn't think about it until it was too late. Jonesy fought the sedation hard. He kept trying to look to me as if to say, "Mom, I'm not done protecting you yet." He didn't want to let me go and that made me break down further. I lay on the ground next to him and told him I was going to be okay, I promise. He literally gave me two last squeezes "hugs" with his head before letting go into a peaceful slumber. At that point, I was a complete hysterical mess. The vet came in and put him all the way out and I felt when his heart stopped and I squeezed him tighter, thinking about all the ways I wish I could have prevented that from happening. I'm crying again writing this. I don't know when I will stop crying every time I think about him steadily hopping along behind me. I don't know if I'll ever not be depressed when I come home and I don't hear his howling, his happy excited barks. His death hurts my soul something deep. My home is not the same without him. He protected me and this home instinctually. He didn't deserve this. If I could have taken his place I would have.

I went to work to avoid sitting at home in depression. I didn't want to be home, staring at the empty spot at the foot of my bed. I don't know what the abscess was caused by. I have a nagging suspicion it's cancer because the few months leading up to this he started sleeping differently and he stopped licking us altogether - small quiet red flags at the back of my mind I ignored and chalked up to something just being off I guess - but they are signs and they are there. I broke down at work and cried some more last night when I realized I will never get to hug him again and that his last few days were spent with a hole in his jaw that probably caused him a lot of pain. He tried to hang on to me tightly, for me. Even the vets were surprised but how much he fought the sedation - they had to give him a second dose - but he just didn't want to give up his fight. My strong baby, all the way through.

This pain will never heal but I still will never EVER regret choosing to love this dog at the animal shelter. I'm devastated I never got to take him to the mountains in Colorado like I planned to real soon. I'm devastated I had to lose my best friend at all. I'm mourning my heart dog, my soul is hurting. I love you, you special little gremlin. I hope you are running with the other doggies in the afterlife on four legs. 💙

Man, Reddit became soul-crushing fast. I had to stop scrolling it. I have to, for my mental health. I wasn't expecting things to get better but I wasn't expecting them to go side-ways that fast. The only reason I haven't deleted that app is because I am in a few good communities that share a wealth of knowledge on the subject.

Lately I have been still planning out my writing group forum. I plan on starting that sometime this weekend. I've also been toying with the idea of starting a rather complex project. I have been thinking about making my own video game like the other single-person developers out there. I know that I won't be able to have voices or anything like realistic graphics but I'm going to start with some 2D graphics and go from there. I want to make a game similar to the GBA Zelda games and make my own turn-based RPG like Octopath traveler, basically. ^^;

I've been wanting to play more games like those but with different stories and characters, obviously. I really miss playing the Zelda game with the four seasons, I loved that one. I can't really find games like that hardly so it's time to start putting my own out there, I think. :D I know it's going to be insanely difficult but with the free time I do have, why not? And if I made a game that made me a million (haha, dreams amirite?) I want to use some of that money to fund building a console that doesn't use silica (that's scary and I just found out about the resource being critically low right now) and that I will keep under $600 dollars (probably around $400 if I'm being honest) to bring healthy competition to a market that's oversaturated and inflated by greed and monopoly.

I've been making it a point to start seeking indie stuff lately. As I said in my previous post, I'm not supporting reckless corporate greed anymore. I'm going to start doing a post every Friday where I highlight any indie games/music/books/movies... etc that I find. If I haven't found something new that week or didn't have the time then I won't make the post but I'm going to try and make one every week. Without further ado;

Indie Game & Developer Discovery: Rift riff. This was discovered on the 'gamedevelopers' (I believe) reddit. One of the game development subreddits. The developer made this game ~~by himself~~ with a small team while supporting his wife (who has long Covid) and his two-year old son. I haven't played it yet but it looks like a really fun and unique game that I actually do want to play for fun. You build towers to shoot at monsters while you run around on the map and collect loot. Here is the link to the game on Steam since I messed up on the name: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2800900/Rift_Riff/

Indie Music Discovery: Surgeon!! This appears to be a single person making some pretty wicked beats. No label backing that I'm aware of. In order to show your support, I highly encourage you to buy their music either off a website or the CD if they produced one. I'm not sure if they have produced their own CDs but I'll update this post when I find out. If you like techno beats made by a non-mainstream artist, check out their work! They only have the one album but I'm sure they would appreciate follows/money either way. They unfortunately only have the one album available at the moment.

Indie Films Discovery: Blue Jean. A 2022 drama about a teacher who tries to hide her sexuality from everyone but the discovery by a student threatens to throw all of that out the window. I'm terrible at summaries but I'm going to watch this soon. When I do, I'll update this post with a review.

Currently Reading: Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano. Okay so I don't think I'm going to do an indie category here since, well, this isn't a market oversaturated with mainstream success but I will make sure to point out if what I'm currently reading is self-published by a really small writer. I'm about halfway finished with this novel and it's actually a decent book that showcases reality in a harsher, more realistic light. It does have it's light-hearted moments but it's pretty decent so far.

And that is all for now! I know I don't have the reviews for some of these but at least I have dug some nuggets out of the trough. I do promise to update them as I watch/play/listen/read them.

And if you are feeling in the donating mood, here is a link to help a friend of friend out. Their pet was hit by a car. https://gofund.me/730e754f

I'll catch up and comment on missed entries. Sorry I haven't been here lately. Mental health has not been so great. :(

Besides the political shit that only seems to be getting worse. (DeSantis stole money from Medicaid and got caught doing it. So much for cleaning the swamp out.)

I just found out that NaNoWriMo ship is sinking. Which is sad because a lot of us all used to come together in the month of November to have a community and talk about writing at least once a year. I understand why we need not support that ever again but I've been tossing the idea of making a new forum to host that type of event again and maybe more of them throughout the year. Like how I was throwing around a writing community for October Writing here on dreamwdith because I missed that challenge as well. I just wonder if enough people would be interested in it? I'd make it adult-only too, just to avoid all that garbage that went down. I have just enough know-how to make a proboards forum. ^^; I really want that community back. There used to be hundreds of us on the forums before they switched to the mess they have now. I would also make a community here for the people on dreamwidth that want that here too.

I'm tossing it around in my head but I just don't want to be struggling to find the people to at least start a small group up and go from there. It's easier to start with a small group and grow instead of trying to advertise and grow big all by my lonesome self, I think it looks weird lol.

I figured proboards could handle the traffic if it got that big and you can have different areas of the forums, like the old NaNoWriMo site used to have. I'd also have a Discord to go with it besides the dreamwidth community and I'd like to have a book club of some sort running alongside it too because my irl friend was interested in making more book nerd friends. We need something positive. Out of all the nastiness in the world to exist, I want to look forward to coming together with other writers. I'm really sad NaNoWriMo can't be that option anymore.

And apparently NaNoWriMo is under a TM so uh... I'd have to call it something different but it'd still have that main challenge in it for fun too. I thought it was a fun idea to try and write a novel in under a month for the hell of it. But besides that we'd have other challenges throughout the year as well and just be supportive for writers in general.

Alternatives to Amazon & Kindle

2025-04-09T21:42:25Z

Barnes & Noble w/Nook. The only gimmick with them is you have to buy the books on their store in order to synch it with the app. From what I just read you can't buy straight from the app. I could be wrong. I'm unsure. The pros of supporting them is you don't support Google or Amazon and still have just as many books to choose from as either one. If I buy a book reader in the future it will be Nook.

Bookshop.org This company is a very good company to support from my understanding. Their mission is to help indie bookstores thrive in our current multi-billionaire overlord era. This is where you can buy from self-publishing writers and compete with Amazon. Only THESE GUYS give their money to help fund the failing bookstore industry. Their profits are donated to them and the bookstores that partner with these guys get full sale value from my understanding. If you are looking for books from lesser-known authors or to support that niche, I highly suggest giving them a look before going to Amazon for this reason alone. ~~All you need to do is download an eBook reader like "calibre" of which I will link to the bottom of this.~~ Oops. It has an app. I'll still leave the link up for if you download books from Google or other places that don't have an app.

Library Apps like Libby, etc Need I say more? The library and its apps are still a decent source for good reading material. This should be self-explanatory. It works with a library card and its free to borrow books from.

Amazon Kindle Alternatives: https://alternativeto.net/software/kindle/

Honestly that's a great link for me to bookmark anyways because I'm pretty regularly looking for alternatives to software programs. Especially in today's world.

If anyone else has any other suggestions that isn't owned by an evil multi-billionaire please feel free to leave them in the comments. Thank you!

Edit: Okay, never mind about Google at all. That license is on all the books now. So I only recommend B&N and Bookshop.org. Definitely bookshop.org first. :)

It's a little too late for me to be posting this but there are very important protests going on across the country starting tomorrow to fight back fascism in this country's government. The movement is on Reddit under 50501. The main event is on Washington DC. I urge you to keep up with that community on Reddit!!! Protesting works!!!! It has been the only thing to work not only in the history of our country but other countries as well. Please consider showing up or supporting in anyway you can!! We want to try and avoid another civil war but if it came down to that I will be fighting, I'm not going to bend my knees to something I can not stand.

Also consider:

1) Deleting all social media apps belonging to the billionaires. Not just Elon Musk but FB, Amazon, and keep an eye on TikTok because Amazon guy is trying to buy it. Research what other apps they have their greedy arms in. Do not make it easy for them to make money off of you aka your data!!!! You can still use them on a PC but clean out your cookies and cache every time you do.

2) I have not found a good alternative to Instagram yet but I don't care anymore. I'm gonna make a Bluesky eventually a long with my own website. I'll use Tumblr too since they aren't infected by greed just yet. I'm still going to post here too.

3) Buy from smaller chains/businesses when you can. Try to avoid big chains and grocery stores - like Walmart, McDonald's, Coors especially - but I understand sometimes it's unavoidable. I'm not gonna hunt you down for it. But I'm just saying, be aware they are part of the problem of billionaires lobbying and controlling our government. Research all of the companies that are problematic and make your business choices from there. I'd argue to even buy from Canada instead at this point.

4) Support human talent and artists. Look up to see what businesses/companies/movie franchises/video games... Etc support AI and do not give them the time of day anymore. MONEY TALKS. I know it's hard sometimes but we can only beat greed by not buying into their bullshit. Look at Nintendo. They are making it so we can't buy their games used anymore and instead have to buy it for the full price of $80. I understand they have always been kind of slimy but once again, they don't learn anything if you throw all their money at them constantly.

Remember people, WE have the power, WE have to be the resistance. Please think about this post. Think about all the ways you can help and spread the word. The more people that boycott the rich, the harder they squirm. Don't enable them and their terrible business practices.

Thank you for reading this if you did. My country is in actual danger and we need all the help we can get.

Fannish 50: Fanart!

2025-01-28T18:22:29Z

My writing muse well has run dry and so why not practice art by drawing Ryomen Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen forty hundred different times? :D Something about this sketch is bothering me but I can't figure out why. I know I had a hell of a time with his mouth in this portrait and I don't know why. I also know I really want to redesign Sukuna's tattoos slightly on his face because I feel like they are poorly drawn and so they aggravate me slightly but I can't judge much when I'm not super good yet myself. Sukuna/Itadori is easily my favorite character in this show even though in this recent episode of the anime I just got caught up with Toji easily became another favorite. I know he was reincarnated or whatever but that man jumped into a domain with a smile on his face and he was smiling the whole entire time he was fighting another strong fighter. LOVE THAT.

I'm going to eventually break out my tablet and start drawing more Sukuna digitally too, just to see how it goes.

Just a quick update while I'm going through my email.

+ I went to Michael's and discovered a much better selection of paints. I bought Liquitex neon colors to compare to Walmart's brand of paint and Artist Loft. I'm pretty certain Artist Loft was the brand that Walmart used to carry? Artist Loft is terrible. Absolutely terrible. It dries like a marker and has none of that "plastic-y" substance to it that most acrylic paints have. I will save it and use it for some experiments with markers or watercolors but I will never buy that paint again for anything serious. I haven't used the Liquitex yet but I imagine it will work wonders.

+ I bought a Wacom Intuos Pro drawing pad. I was sort of divided on that or getting my hands on Procreate via the standard edition iPad. Both cost the exact same amount. However, I know the Wacom will last me years longer than a device that will eventually stop getting support because they purposefully phase out their older generations to make you buy new stuff. I'm still not down with that. I bought a drawing pad so when I'm in-between being able to buy paints I can still paint. Or even paint and illustrate my paper drawings. Honestly, the possibilities are endless with this sort of tool. I will never stop using traditional methods. Painting is way too fun for me as is getting messy with charcoals and pastels. Sorry, but the computer will never take away the physical satisfaction of making a mess on paper. :)

+ The old crusty orange fart is about to try and implement steeper tariffs on China. We are about to see inflation sky rocket again if the Supreme Court doesn't stop him. And when this happens, people will still blame everything else but the damn idiot. I'm beyond stressed. I can barely afford this right now. I don't know if I'll afford it in the future with a roommate. Why exactly did anyone think he's better for the economy? His previous tariffs on aluminum and steel is what made car prices out of our reach. He's about to sink us all into a depression. Fuck the economy, fuck the constitution, we got a president that's so fake he pretends to be Christian and swapped his party just to win - amirite? What is wrong with this country.....

I found this while scrolling through reddit. This is going to be an excellent resource for practicing on dynamic posing. I went and scrolled through a "class" just to see what it's like. I like that. A lot. Especially for figure drawing. I'm going to have to bite down on that bullet and practice realism and proportions eventually.

I'm unsure if I'll sticky this post but for now I've made it and I'll add other art related resources here in the future.

(I officially signed up for communal_creators !! I opted for the time table. I want to work on both my writing stuff at work for at least fifteen minutes and then spend another fifteen minutes on my art projects at home. Now here is some creative writing stuff below. As usual, I will catch up on my reading page this Friday. Warning: this blurb has some nudity and sexual explicit stuff. Nothing heavy, probably embarrassing instead oh weeeeellll. I also forgot I wanted to change Rosalie's name maybe)

I haven't been landscaping lately unless it's a very nice and dry day. I tried to just let my body sweat through it but nah, that's not happening. I'm sensitive to the heat and I just don't tolerate humidity very well at all. "Well little wolf, why are you down here then?" I ask myself that same question every day. It's just really complicated to move when you have so many roots in one spot, if that makes sense.

Anyways! Look at that bug!!!!!!! I did not know this was a bug until moved. I'm used to weird and horrifying insects in this state. I did not know caterpillars could purposely look like bird droppings! I just now checked on my orange tree and I haven't in a while because, well, it's been storming so I just kept pushing that off. Big mistake on my part. Apparently all those little orange balls I found stuck to my leaves late at night (I went checking because I noticed a few nibbles here and there and I wanted to catch the intruder - Google told me slugs come out at night) were the eggs of a swallowtail butterfly. I did not crush them all either. It was dark, I saw a couple and thought, "Huh. Must be some type of egg." *squish* and then went back inside.

Monthly Reading of May

2024-06-04T00:04:47Z

I read and finished a total of three brand new books and I finished one book I had been reading for a few months before.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Uh... well. This was a hard book for me, personally, to read through. I just found the language a little bit jarring. It had a lot of interesting and colorful characters in it though. It was entertaining because of that. It was still hard for me to read.

The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. Millionaire dies and leaves his mansion to a seemingly random poor young lady. She has to figure out the riddle to gain the inheritance. This was a cute little puzzle-solving mystery novel. A nice light read.

City of Villians by Estelle Laure. A play on the origins of Disney's flagship villians. This was, uh, a little cringe-y and the writing was super fast and easy to read through. Definitely one of those waiting room sort of books. (Honestly this might have been marketed to teens so, I forgot to think about that.)

Dune by Frank Herbert. SO. I've been posting my reactions to this book as I read it and then I went and spoiled who Paul ends up marrying and all that. I think people in my friend's circle know how I really feel about this book. I do love it - I love the mysticism in it; the bits and pieces of how they view and interact in the book is so cool. I know what the books rip off of but still. I can relate to some of the scenes in here and the in-depth politics!!!! LOVE!!! But I really feel Paul went off the deep end way too much. It is much better than the PT.2 movie but I still feel Paul should not have made the decisions he made. I do recommend this book though. And the movies!!! Both of them!!!

So I kind of got into gardening?

2024-06-02T05:08:24Z

I have slowly fell into a steady rhythm of routine. I come home after work and as long as I'm not too spent, I go and work out in my yard for a couple of hours. Usually two hours but anywhere between an hour and three works. I'm patient. I'm not in a rush to start growing things right here in the now. Will the weeds still waiting on me keep getting taller or worse with me being only one person? Yes. Will it kill me? Nah. My two days off are now devoted to cleaning and then crashing at the end of the day to play video games or what have you. I just need to fit in my guitar practice every day and I'll be set! So I managed to get some small things done this week. :)

Cuban Bean Dish

2024-05-31T14:43:07Z

Ingredients:

One pound dried black beans, picked over and rinsed
2 green bell peppers, 1 quartered lengthwise and 1 minced
8 cups of water
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 red bell pepper minced
1 yellow bell pepper, minced
1 large white onion, minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon oregano
1/4 cup tomato paste
3 tablespoons minced garlic
salt

Directions:

1) Put black beans, quartered green pepper, and bay leaves in a large saucepan; add 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Reduce heat to low, partially cover saucepan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove and discard green pepper pieces and bay leaves.

2) Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a large skillet. Add minced bell peppers and onion; cook over moderate heat until softened, about twenty minutes. Stir in cumin, oregano, and tomato paste.

3) Cook garlic in remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil in a small saucepan over moderately low heat until golden brown.

4) When beans are tender, add sauteed pepper mixture and garlic in its oil. Season with salt and simmer gently for five minutes to blend flavors.

5) Cover and refrigerate overnight or for up to three days. Reheat gently before serving.

Notes: It's best to let this one sit the night before you intend to eat it so it soaks up the flavors better. I'm cooking this tomorrow and eating it Monday probably in a bowl with rice, veggies - corn on the cob steamed in the microwave and cut up into the bowl YUM, and freshly squeezed lime with sliced avocado. :)

Oops, forgot to add you do not pre-soak these beans. I know. That seems.. sketchy to me too but I'll try it.

I'm so tired ;u;

2024-05-25T00:54:16Z

I've been rather busy lately. My neighbors drove me to this. Remember how they said to do everything out of spite? Well, I got angry and started clearing out all the brush and wilderness on my property. I wanted to keep it so I had a natural privacy fence but I don't get those nice options anymore because I have neighbors that like to loiter near my property that are up to no good. So... uh... I'm going to have to cut down everything except the shade-giving trees. :( In that process, there is a light. I'm going to start laying down my square foot gardening using concrete blocks. :)

Here is before I finished my progress for the day. You can see in this photo that some of it is cut down but not all of it. It's just me, my chainsaw, machete, and shears! Mostly manual labor with the machete and shears because my chainsaw is cheap and doesn't want to chainsaw anymore.

Five for Friday

2024-05-17T18:49:42Z

1) What are your five favorite birds?
American Kestral, Barn Owl, Rough Legged Hawk, Raven, and any kind of smol songbird tbh.

2) What are your five favorite pet-type animals?
I know it says five but shhh... Ferrets, Snakes, Crested geckos, dogs, parakeets, and betta fish. :3 You would not believe how incredibly intelligent and how much you can bond to a betta fish. I always kept mine in a ten gallon aquarium too. He would always get excited when I walked over to feed him. I absolutely do want another one one day in the future.

3) What are your five favorite wild animals that live in your locale?
Eastern Screech Owl, Florida Ibis, American Toads - I always boop them every time I see one, Red Wolf even though there aren't anymore wild populations, and bottlenose dolphin.

4) What are your five favorite zoo animals that you always want to visit?
Wolves, venomous snake species, snow leopard, clouded leopard, and otters.

5) What are your five favorite cryptids that may or may not be extinct, may or may not exist in this world?
Skin-walkers, wendigo but that one terrifies me honestly, Loch Ness Monster only because I have Seen Things in my local river and honestly this isn't so far-fetched to me, mermaids or sirens, and uh... I like reading about really creepy bigfoot experiences. It's not my favorite but I can't think of anymore at the moment.

Nodding [FNV Fic]

2023-09-23T01:14:14Z

Rosalie can't sleep tonight. She and Benny had had their share of fun before he had went to take first watch. They aren't camped in a secure building tonight and they have both spotted a pack of ghouls wandering in the crumbling neighborhood nearby.

Rosalie pulls herself out of her sleeping bag while waking the dog up too, of course. She slips her prosthetic on before she heads over to Benny with Poggo following at her heels. She comes up to their lookout spot. She can see Benny sitting down. What she doesn't expect to see is his head falling into his chest from sleep. Rosalie doesn't even spare a minute to think. She walks up behind him and hits him lightly with the flat of her palm on the side of his head.

"What the fuck?!" Benny is all rage as he jumps up but then he calms when he recognizes Rosalie's face.

"Yes, what the fuck are you doing sleeping? You should have woke me up!" Rosalie is only mildly annoyed but it doesn't stop the slump in Benny's shoulders. Rosalie still puts her finger into his chest.

"Sorry babydoll. I guess I was more tired then I thought," Benny says as he rubs sleep from his eyes.

Some of her annoyance seeps away as she watches him rubs his eyes. There is something so soft and vulnerable in that gesture that she doesn't normally see in him and she can't help but soften up herself much to her great chagrin.

"Estás bien, ve a dormir un poco ahora," she mutters to him. "Go get sleep. I will take over."

This is the first three day weekend I have had in a very long time and it was so nice. This is why I want us to go back to twelve hour shifts. I miss these weekends so bad.

I saw the trailer for FFVII Rebirth and Cloud on a scooter... XD I'm dying. I don't know why Zach is still alive but that gives me hope that he'll maybe stay alive??? Aerith too??? Also! Vincent!!!!!!!

It's been a laid back and relaxing weekend besides Saturday so I'm going to jump back into some writing projects along with a dozen of my other hobbies I want to get done this week.

The convention was tons of fun, as always. I am now the proud owner of Lightning Farron's real steel replica saber sword. I was going to get a prop keyblade because I saw them first but then my friend told me they were selling real metal swords at a different booth so I went to see. I saw Lightning's sword and immediately recognized it. I thought it over and then bought it. I likely can't use it in a future cosplay because they don't like metal weapons being brought into cons but aaaaaahhhhh I have her sword!!!! (I know that sounds corny but I love her so much ;w;)

I also bought some artwork of faeries and a wolf. I bought a bunch of pretty keychains and two sticker sleeves I don't want to use because the art is so pretty. I didn't see very many art vendors selling prints this time around. I also wish they had sold more video game merch but I suppose I need to start going to bigger conventions now, don't I?

There was such a lack on character art. It was a bummer!! But there's always the next con. :D

I got a free day off from work today! So I decided to make some progress in Final Fantasy XVI and hopefully beat the game and finish it up. I made it to Stonehyrr and holy nostalgia. This looks like Iceland. ;u; I know Barnabas is supposed to be Nordic inspired along with his kingdom so I'm not really surprised but ahhhhh, I would absolutely love an open world game like Skyrim set in this sort of landscape. It's so pretty! (I had to use Twitter to upload this. Should I even ask at this point what on earth happened to it?)

Bright [FFXVI]

(I was reading Dune while writing this if you can't tell. :D Sorry, but Cid is bisexual. I don't care what other people think. This is inspired by L'ubor. He looked about the same age as Cid in the game. But the dialogue had me second guessing. So idk. Could be him?)

Everything here is bright and it hurts. Cid tries to shield the brightness of this place with his hand but it barely helps with it at all.

“I’m going to need to find goggles and extra cloth in this place,” Cid mutters to himself. His chocobo nudges his back and warbles in response. There is laughter behind him that catches his attention.

“Cid, you may as well give up the water in your body as a gift to make it safely out of here.”

Cid turns and raises an eyebrow toward the man on the chocobo behind him. This only gets him a smirk in return. The same type of smirk that stirs up conflicted emotions inside him.

“The desert will have to like my blood first,” he responds with a smile in his voice. “Now, instead of complaining about it for all the good it will do me, shall we move along to find this bounty?”

“It would be my pleasure,” the assassin replies with a smile and a twinkle in his eyes this time. He kicks his mount into gear, not even waiting to see if Cid is following.

You lose me in the sands and I’ll have you begging tonight instead.

Bouncing [FFXVI]

2023-07-16T23:46:34Z

(Like I said. I dig the domestication vibe for these two. Also, never mind the walking at 8pm. I shall go swimming straight after work instead - it's too hot for my dogs anyways.)

Note: FYI for anyone reading my fic! If the content is mature or requires trigger warnings, I will do so with a cut and put a note at the top for anything that may be potentially triggering or NSFW. Otherwise, it's SFW. I tend to post my fic here like most people on tumblr do.

It takes a while for Clive to finally track Jill down.

“Last I heard, our Lady Jill was in the washroom to wash the fabrics and linen.” An unharried Bearer informs him.

When Clive opens the door Jill flinches. She isn’t washing material like he was told but instead working a stitch into a garment.

“Oh, hello Clive,” she says as she pauses to give him a smile.

“I heard you needed help washing clothes but it looks like you’re doing something else…” Clive tapers off.

“Actually, I do have a small pile left over by that washing basin if you really do want to help.”

“I do.”

Just as he sets to washing a shirt in the soapy basin, Mid bursts through the door, bouncing on her feet. Excited by something she’s made, no doubt. “Clive! Lady Jill!”

Jill smiles and tilts her head down in a small bow.

“Er, Clive. I didn’t realize you had an interest in banal domestication tasks but I have something for you to see!” she says as she bounces from foot to foot.

“I’ll be there as soon as I’m finished!” Clive calls over his shoulder. Mid disappears as large amounts of soap start to get all over him. Jill smiles softly to herself as she kneels down besides him to wipe a rather large soap sud in his hair away.

Clive’s smile is warm at first but it grows mischievous as he looks to the water and then back to her. Her eyes widen in sudden understanding. “Clive, no!” Jill takes off at a run with Clive grabbing at the air.

Glove [FFXVI]

2023-07-12T23:52:19Z

(And then I just say ehhhh, fuck it all in a fit of sadness.)

The wyvern suddenly jumps into the air after trying to eat Clive. Jill thinks it’s going to dive at Clive and so she readies an ice spell. However, this assumption clouds her mind and she doesn’t track it in the sky. It falls on her instead and a claw hooks into her gloved arm. She doesn’t feel the pain and it’s not until they regroup that Clive immediately grabs that arm.

“Jill, you’re bleeding.”

Jill pulls her arm back and instinctively shakes her head. “I’ll be fine. You aren’t a physicker so there isn’t much you can do for me anyways.” She has that glove on for a reason. She doesn’t want people to know or to see the weakness. The reality of what is happening to her.

But Clive doesn’t move. “I’m not a healer but from my time spent in the field I know that wound is going to fester before we return home. Please, allow me to bandage it.”

Jill stands there for a long moment with her arm cradled to her chest and her eyes cast down. It takes a minute but she does slowly put her gloved arm back towards him. Clive carefully removes the glove. “Jill…” but he doesn’t gasp, he runs a thumb over the curse marks. Jill dares a peak at his face and she can see the fear lining his face.

“Clive, please don’t worry for me. This is why I didn’t want you to see.”

Clive says nothing in return. He pulls out a clean cloth, a flask of water, and a vial before he gets started on it.
