🐾 CONTRIBUTOR SPOTLIGHT 🐾

Welcome our first writer, Charly Lee @charlythelee ! They have an excellent way with words, so get ready to have fun reading their story! 🐶

Aside from that autumn slump (and mediocre ArtFight turnout), tis was a pretty solid art year (shout out to the Sword & Sorcery Bang for really getting my art game up, especially in the backgrounds/scenery and posing department) 👍🌟

Individual pieces can be found through my art tag #charleedraws as always and now on BSKY as well (same handle as here @/charlythelee) ~

Also, another year full of zine fun, thank you all for the support on the Frieren, Trigun and MSBY4 zines 😊💕

🩷 The Name (✒︎ on Ao3) (Preview)

Spy x Family | Becky Angst Study | 3.1k words | Teen Up

When Becky thinks about the Blackbell family, she thinks of everything but family. She thinks of duty and of pain, of responsibilities that bind her and all the little joys that are supposed to be beneath her. She thinks of the other picture, the one in her room, and she thinks of Anya.

Aaaaaand, my fic for the @spyxangst zine earlier this year ~ The spot art was made by the amazing Saint Artemis (on IG) & the whole zine is free to download, so check it out, I had a blast working with this team 💕

Sheet three of my Haikyuu Royalty AU crowns and blades For better understanding read have a look at these first: -> Page 1: DaiSuga & Info on Karasuno and Crow Steel -> Page 2: IwaOi & Info on Aoba Johsai

-> AU Masterpost

((I am currently thinking about making one more mixed sheet featuring Futakuchi and Ushijima but I don't know yet - I feel like I should do the main Tokyo characters too, but somehow I can't get a good picture of their gear other than a few headcanons (maybe I will post just those without any art, don’t know yet)))

More Info on this page below the cut:

Details on Hinata's stuff: - he first had only one crow steel blade that he named "sun" but ever since he met Prince Bokuto of Fukurodani he is training duel wield and has added another identical blade made from normal steel that he engraved "crow" (in refernce to his fathers blade, wich bears the same symbol) - with 60cm (23.6 inch) they are both very short and broader at the tip, in adjustment to his body hight and making up for both offense and defense - the sheaths can either be worn, strapped to his thighs or crossed over his back - his crown is dominated by a sun emblem, in reference to his nickname the "Sun Prince" - the ornament is made from gold and features a large piece of amber surrounded by several tiny tourmalines - the base ring is made from copper, in refernce to his dad and the fact that he too is of common heritage Details on Kageyama's stuff: - he was offered to have a new blade made for him, using crow steel but he choose to keep his Seijoh made blade - in contrast to his brother’s and father’s weapons however the design is kept very simple without any elaborate decorations - with 115cm (aprox 45.2) the longsword's blade is average, the handle however is longer than common, so it can be wielded with both hands comfortably - a gradidierite is inset into the knob and a blue diamond into the heft - the scafford is lined with steel and adorned by an oak tree whichs roots hold two tiny saphires - unlike his sword he choose to get a new crown - it is made from several strings of white gold, silver and steel wrapped around a ring of crow steel and made to resemble roots - they hold a larger tourmaline and a smaler grandidierite

AATT Lore Post

Hello and thanks for tuning back in with me.

While writing the latest chapters I realized that I never bothered to explain the lore of this AU before, so that is what I am going to do now.

There isn’t really much different, other than the main ‘quirk‘ that makes it an AU: Suga went to Aoba Johsai and not to Karasuno.

Other than that, there are (so far) only two things that I realized might need further explaining.

1st) The High School Time Line 

In this AU I decided, for plot sake, to put one more year in between the canon second and first years, so that eg. Daichi, Asahi and Kiyoko had already graduated when Hinata, Kags and co came to Karasuno - so they never met.

I know that this way there is a small plot hole concerning Kageyama’s and Oikawa’s rivalry but I am currently thinking of a way to patch it up.

This, unfortunately, also means the First Years have become a little irrelevant for the story and will therefore, except for a few exceptions, not make an appearance. So far Yamaguchi, Yachi (because they are precious) and Lev (because I am a desperate LevYaku whore) safely included into my concept, as for the others I am still looking for opportunities to introduce them.

2nd) The Setting

Originally I planned to have AATT set in either Saitama or Tokyo (or just any other big city that isn’t Sendai) but then I realized, I was too lazy to read myself into Japanese city structures and constantly fumble with google street view, to make descriptions and routes accurate. (Yes, you may hate my lazy ass, but eh, writing this is supposed to be fun, so I do what I want *insert evil laughing*)

So I decided to simply add another big city to the country. In my head I drew a line through Yokohama and Tokyo and then somewhere around the same latitude as Saitama, I dropped my new cultural epicenter for the boys to wreck havoc in.

It doesn’t have a name, so for now it is just “The City“ (da da da dam *drumroll*).

So, thats it so far, I hope I was able to bring a bit of light into the darkness.

Should further Lore appear I will add to this post.
