JJK EPILOGUE SPOILERS!!

Pretty man 🤍

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

A very specific idea/scenario I have about Alastor's sleeping habits

He barely even sleeps in the first place. He sleeps like only a few hours a week, in one go. He locks himself up in his room once a week, sleeps for 4 hours straight and that's it. And since he doesn't sleep much, each time he does he falls into a deep slumber and it's absolutely impossible to wake him up he's straight up passed out until he gets fully recharged.

He does this because the idea of being in a vulnerable position where anyone could do anything to him while he's completely defenseless is too unsettling for him, so he sleeps as little as he can and always makes sure he's locked up first, away from everyone else's eyes.

HOWEVER, one time he's playing cards with the rest of the hotel, and because he got unconsciously so comfortable around them, he accidently falls asleep on the couch during the game. Everyone is shocked because they didn't even know he actually needed to sleep (they always hear him walk around the hotel humming at night like an absolute creep so they just all collectively assumed he didn't need to sleep).

Charlie panicks a little because nothing seems to wake him up, but he's still breathing and seems fine, eventually they all just let him sleep there and keep on going with their card games since the noise doesn't seem to bother him. Charlie even put a blanket on him, and Angel initially wants to draw something on his face as a prank but in the end everyone agrees not to try anything like this, because who knows how the radio demon would react,,, could be dangerous.

A few hours later Alastor finally wakes up, immediately understands what happened and plays it cool like "Oh dear, looks like I passed out, too bad I couldn't finish the game :) oopsie" but internally he's SCREAMING

EDIT: greykolla was faster than me and made a comic about it it's so so good 😭 crying

So you're telling me, they just left his body there? In the upside down forever? That no one cared or mourned but Dustin? That they let him be called a murderer and cult leader with no one fighting back against those allegations? That max can survive several broken bones and a whole standoff with vecna but Eddie dies in vain to fulfill some heroic redemption arc that wasn't necessary? He deserved better than that. Fuck you stranger Things and the way you introduce characters just to kill them off.

how do y’all think haymitch felt when katniss came back to him all “i want wiress, beetee, and mags as allies” in catching fire? hand-picking his two and a half men(tors)!!

“of course you do” as his response now means so much more bc he’s not just exasperated he’s like “you really are me with a braid”

Imagine spending all your energy being cool and mysterious 24/7.

What an idiot have I mentioned I love him?

Idea came from a cool post @nouverx made about Alastor’s possible sleeping habits. 💕

"Tell me, Levi. What did you and your mom do when you were little?" You hope it's okay to ask this.

Levi thinks for a moment. The bad memories come up first. "Do?"

"Yeah. Like, did you read together?" You start with that.

Levi is quiet for a moment. "No, we um, didn't really have books." Why is that so hard to say?

"Well that's okay, I'm sure she told you bedtime stories."

He just shrugs. It's hard to remember.

You see Levi deep in thought and wait for him. You perk up when he gives a tiny smile.

"Shadow puppets." That's it. It was a game and a story in one.

"Really? That's adorable!" You smile too. "What was your favorite?"

"I don't know. The wolf maybe. Or the swan." One he liked, and one she liked.

"Wanna show me?" You're happy for this piece of himself he shares with you.

He holds up his hand with less digits. "Tch, with what fingers?" You must be joking.

You don't give up. "The ones you have, silly!" You reach out and grip his fingers in your hand. "I bet you can still make a great snail."

It surprises you when he actually chuckles at this. "A snail?" He doesn't think he ever made that one before.

"Wanna try?" You ask, hand still wrapped around his fingers.

The sweet sound of your voice, your genuine smile, your soft touch, something leaves tingles in Levis chest. He's not sure what to do with it.

He lets out a breath. "No." He shakes his head. "Not, right now." He rephrases it, leaving the offer open. You've just caught him off guard.

"That's okay." You lean back, no longer touching. "When you want to, my hands are always open to you."

The feeling you give to him does not fade. And he knows he doesn't want it to.

Here is the final version of Castiel. It had quite a journey to get here, much like the angel himself.
