Some Apocalyptic Nyc Postcards I’ve Been Working On. Now I Actually Need To Get Them Printed As Postcards

Wait a minute.

If visions are basically Celestia keeping an eye on people that might one day ascend to be gods/ become threaths to Celestia.

Then now that the Hydro Archon is no more and Neuvillette is the one giving visions, does that mean he can watch over all hydro users??

Now all I can think of is Neuvillette acting as Furina's guardian angel. Hurt her and a literal dragon descends from the skies to beat you up!

Also Albert is FINALLY getting arrested!!

(Spoilers)

Okay ik this shot is funny

But have we considered how actually terrified peter b has to be here?

Like, he introduces miguel as his friend. We see he was there when miguel's universe fell apart. Miguel puts up with him bringing mayday everywhere and letting her climb all over everything. These 2 had to have been actually close.

So of course peter knew that miguel was going to talk to miles, maybe he knew miguel would say mean shit to him, but this is a face of genuine surprise. Not even the person arguably closest to miguel knew he would (or even could) act like this. Like, look at him!! Hes terrified!! The man he was there for during an entire universe's collapse, the man he considers a friend, the man he let hold his baby, is capable of doing this!!

Prompt: Ex boyfriend of MK kidnaps him until Red Son and the gang rescue him

Sorry if you have done this one already

It was well known that Qi Xiaotian had a history.

It was not a history of good decisions. Not that he did anything wrong, but his exes were not good people. Cheating on him, framing or hitting on Xiaojiao so Xiaotian would cut her out, abusive, super transphobic, or just being a bad person in general, the list went on. Xiaotian was embarrassed by it but at least the weirder ones were a good drunk story.

This would not be a good drunk story.

“What the fuck, Haoran?!” Xiaotian scrabbled against the ropes tying him tight, his wrists tied behind him. One minute, he had been parking the tuk-tuk outside the shop. The next, brown fur had invaded his vision as his ex had grabbed him, tied him, and tossed him in the back of his van.

And it was still gross, with cigarette marks littering the seats and the smell of takeout (and the containers) taking up the floor. Empty alcohol bottles clinked together. “Shut up, Xiaotian!” Haoran shot back, his claws digging into the wheel. Shit, he still didn’t look at the road when he drove?! “I’m doing this for us!”

Xiaotian gaped, mind trying to connect dots before he could sputter something out. “Wha- You dumped me!” Literally. Haoran had ordered Xiaotian to get out after a long drunk drive that involved arguing about kids. He had dumped him on the side of the road and then sped off. Xiaojiao was a lifesaver.

“Well, you’ve improved yourself!” Haoran said, anger dying down to be replaced by cheerfulness. Xiaotian gaped at him, raising a brow. The bear turned and grinned at him, yellowed teeth glinting in the light. “With your whole Monkie Kid schtick, you’ve really shot up in the world!”

“I didn’t do it for you!”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah-” Haoran swerved to avoid another car and Xiaotian grunted as his head slammed into the window. “Lie all you want babe. I know you still got the hots for me and I’m giving you the chance to prove it.”

Ugh, he wasn’t gonna let him go, was he?

Xiaotian once again tried to pick at the knots wrapped around his wrists. All he needed was his staff, because he certainly didn’t trust his ex’s driving enough to shrink, find a hole and slip out of. Haoran was sloppy with everything, from cleaning to lovemaking, so surely-

Oh come on. Were knots the one thing he cared about?

“-got a nice little place where we can lay low- HEY!”

The van screeched to a stop and Xiaotian yelped as he nearly toppled over. Haoran was yelling at someone before the driver door was wrenched open and a familiar red hand shot out and yanked the bear demon out. The next moment, the van door slid open. “Xiaotian!”

He craned his neck and grinned at the familiar green eyes. “Xiaojiao!”

“I am so sorry!” Xiaojiao apologized as she pulled out a switchblade and cut through the ropes. “I should’ve come sooner-”

“It’s not your fault,” Xiaotian sighed, hugging her. “I’m just glad you and Red are here.” The shouting was still going on. Curious, he glanced over and felt his face flush.

Right, Red was fucking hot. Especially now, as the demon prince, his bull form out and exposed, glared silently at the bear demon that dared to lay a hand on his Noodle Boy. When Haoran’s yelling and frantic struggle finally died down, Red finally spoke.

“Keep your hands off him.”

And just like that, Haoran was slammed into the pavement, left stunned in a him-shaped hole. Xiaotian froze as Red’s head shot in his direction, burning eyes boring into his skin and deep into his soul. Heat soared through him.

Gods, he was so handsome.

And strong, based on how easily he lifted Xiaotian up into his arms. “Are you okay?” he asked quietly, lightly bumping his forehead against his. “His stink is all over you.”

Xiaotian smiled, pressing a kiss to his nose, right above his pretty nose ring. “I’m good.” he sighed. “I’m lucky to have you.”

The first good decision in his history.

the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire

icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down

cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated

prompt: Xiaojiao waking up, very woozy inside a lavish room in Firey Mountain, and can at least turn her head to see a knocked out Xiaotian in the next part of the room as their kidnapper, Red Son enters with some tea

“Hello there!”

Long Xiaojiao raised a brow at the fire demon’s oddly cheerful tone. “Red?” She tried to sit up again. This time, her stomach didn’t lurch. Still, her head ached with the tell-tale signs of a hangover. “What happened?”

Red set the tray down and began to pour the tea. “How much do you remember?”

Xiaojiao’s brows furrowed together. “We went to the club...” she said, foggy memories slipping up. She remembered Red in that gorgeous purple dress and blushing at her and Xiaotian’s matching clubbing outfits. She couldn’t blame him- their butts looked great in those tights. It kind of drifted off after that. “Ugh...I think...” She lied down with a groan. “I don’t remember.”

The scent of tea entered her nose and she sat up with another groan. Xiaojiao accepted the cup of tea from Red, taking a slow sip. “You and Noodle Boy got dared to do shots.” he explained. Oh, that would explain the lack of memory.

Hopefully Pigsy never found out.

“Then these two idiots decided to try and make a move on you,” Red’s smile faded. He looked away with a hiss before continuing with “And I decided to ask you two something I’ve wanted to for a while.”

Xiaojiao raised a brow. “What?” As she moved to take another sip, something glinting on her wrist caught her eye. She moved the cup to another hand and lifted her hand up. A beautiful golden bracelet, set with small red gems, sat on he wrist.

She turned her head to see Xiaotian. He was spread out in starfish mode, but the wrist she could see had a matching bracelet. When she turned, Red held up his hand. A bracelet with orange and green gems glinted on his wrist.

“I asked if I could court you two and you agreed.”

Xiaojiao blinked and her face warmed. “What?!” she squeaked. Red had asked that to them?! “While we were drunk?” Her thoughts raced back and forth. “Didn’t you think we would change our minds when sober?” She wouldn’t have said no, but still.

Red cocked his head. “Have you changed your mind?”

Xiaojiao blinked, feeling her face warm even more. “Xiaotian,” she hissed in response. Her best friend let out a snore. “Xiaotian!” Even louder. “XIAOTIAN!” Red yelped at her yell. At her loud voice, Xiaotian let out a yelp and fell out of the bed.

He looked up with “Wha-Huh?” He blinked at their surroundings. “What’s going on?”

“Would you want Red to court us?”

Xiaotian blinked again. “Uh, yeah, I-” He raised a brow. “What’s with this bracelet?”

Hopefully, more sobering up would help.

Okay so I've noticed people critiquing the Spanish in Miguel O'hara fanfics and the British Black sling for Hobie. I'm not sure what to do for the British sling for the fanfic I want to post about because I'm black/native and live in the South and have only met 2 British people in my life and they are both white. I've tried to find British sling generators and they suck so I what imma do is just study some black British. YouTubers and see if I can get get down the lingo enough to make it sound natural.

Now for Miguel I actually might have an ace in the hole since my familie's business recently got large Spanish speaking clientele due to me changing our menu to Spanish. And I have spanish speaking friends and family. Irish on the other hand I have an abundance of friends and teachers of Irish descent to can get info from since oddly most of my white friends are of Irish descent.

For the record: I know very little Spanish and can understand and read it way more than I can speak it....But I've learned some things and I want to see if I'm right.

1. Every country has a different dialect. For example Venezuelan and Spain Spanish sounds different from for example Domincan and Mexican Spanish.

2. Spain Spanish is considered 'proper' Spanish and if not favored amongst other Spanish speaking communities. Spaniards are like the British of Spanish essentially. (My black people out there already know since it's like Proper or British English vs the different varieties of Aave)

3. If you have to use a translator DO NOT USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE. Google translate is apparently painfully proper and sometimes does not make since when translated from proper/aave English. Find a different translator as Spanish speaking readers can tell immediately.

4. Miguel is Irish/ Mexican. Irish people actually have their own different dialects that differs in every region. They have different languages spoken in Ireland as well.

5. I'm assuming mixed people of Irish/Mexican descent would appreciate them both featured in fanfics. Maybe?

6. I think for my black people out there that live in America at least if we struggle with black British sling we could lean on black aave in different states that sound similar to it. I feel like Baltimore aave might work. I grew up in Detriot and in the current southern state I'm in and it sounds similar depending on the pronunciation of words. (Btw white people out there who don't have many black friends or people that's live around you, aave or african amercan vernacular English sounds different in every state. For example look up Louisiana aave and New York aave and you will understand) I feel like for black writers our normal aave but just stronger could work as well for Hobie.

So as a takeaway, if you want your fics to read a bit easier for your black, British, and Spanish speaking readers, ya might want to do a bit of research. Or maybe make your own universe version of that charecter. I thought about making a Southern Hobie Brown since I have a friend I want to base him off as he reminds me of Hobie so freaking much. From the dark liner and choker to the constantly critiquing the government and authoritarian figures and not like consistency in certain areas on his life. So yeah that's what I got.

If anyone wants to add on and give some more tips to make my fics better, let me know. I'll be posting soon. Also tell me if I'm wrong.
