Stars Above 🌙

This is actually a redraw of a very old comic! Old version under cut ♡

you protect me (and i’ll protect you) [AO3]: Frin got hurt, and it’s all your fault. Because of you, they lost a crabbing eye, and now they’re stuck in bed in some House’s infirmary until the adults say they’re well enough to keep travelling. If they ever are. You’re just a stupid kid. You don’t know what to do. You can’t fix it, you can’t take it back, and you can barely even look at him without feeling like your head’s gonna explode. So you do the only thing you can.

And Siffrin isn't smart in the same way they are. But he is...

language smart!

He specifically points out the island one as being one he can't read, implying they can read all the rest. And "many" reads as more to three to me (just that three were named).

They can't read every language. In the observatory, they need Odile to read the Ka Buan book there. They also mention having been there

which, they would need to speak enough Ka Buan to get by even if they never learned to read.

But like, that's four foreign languages with the implication of more. He's been to so many places, learned to speak to so many kinds of people. Even if he can only read the three. Just being able to listen to so much? And understand? It's wonderful.

And, most importantly, the puns. You have to know a language well to do wordplay. Even if it's only Vaugardian they know well enough, they're still so talented.

Tag people you want to get to know better! 👀

Reading: I started the ROTS novelization and uhhh—I am scared tbh.

Last series: Pokemon! My partner is obsessed with it rn. But we are watching that and BBC Merlin back to back so…I watched them both tonight. Merlin is MY obsession rn (tho not as much as Star Wars..oops)

Last Film: Johnny English…it’s so cringe it’s good.

Last song: As Above So Below by Essenger and Cryoshell (it’s from my Vaderkin playlist..I am in the trenches)

Coffee or Tea: Tea! My stomach stopped tolerating coffee so I usually drink more tea now. Especially Matcha! I used to drink the same amount of both :( I really love both lol. I’ll get some milky Oolong because it’s so good in the morning.

Working on: Two Obikin fics! I’m only sketching out the ideas though, no actual writing yet unfortunately 😔 but I’ll get there 🦾

Reading: amagami wo kimi ni (play-biting you!) i got vol 1 for christmas 🩷🩷🩷 and many many fanfics...

Last series: adventure time, always because i play it on loop for bg noise

Last Film: jujutsu kaisen: execution ! the animation was sooooooo good

Last song: this

Coffee or Tea: tea 🥰 coffee smells like poop to me asdfghjkl

Working on: cutieful ver of a prison realm with sparkly eyes and glitter uwu i'm not good with clay and my hands haven't been working™️ though 😭

this was fun to do ^u^

Reading: A hundred ways to kill a heartthrob. Imma be honest, I'm just reading it out of boredom. I can't click with the characters but I'm also too curious about the ending to drop it out now.

Last Series: Evil. Actually an amazing serie!! Pretty heavy on the religion but there's a piece of cake for evrybody. Religious or not. Definitely check it out!!

Last Movie: Ultraman(the last Netflix version). I'm pretty late on the hype but I liked it. It was a cute movie.

Last Song: Eve by ado. Low-key obsessed nowadays with this. I recommend the clip video. The visuals are a must.

Coffee or Tea: Now, I can NOT choose between the two okay. Both is good.

Working on: (now that's a big word lmao) daydreaming about a tcf android au and I guess some of my OCs designs. Man, I have so many WIPs in my drawer.

Reading: Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop. I've already read this but I wanted to reread it because it's officially one of my comfort books. And also, many, many fanfictions, ahem.

Last Series: Gachiakuta. Haven't finished watching it yet, but it has a unique plot with loveable characters and the lore is quite intriguing as well. The artstyle is also just ugh, AMAZING! The music is catchy too~

Last Movie: Dead Poets Society. It's a good movie which teaches you valuable life lessons and the characters are people the audience can relate to greatly, especially the protagonist. Beware of the ending, though.

Last Song: Rendezvous by AHOF. I've never been a K-pop fan or stan before, but that was before I discovered AHOF. All of their songs are great and I've been listening to them nonstop every single day.

Coffee or Tea: I can't drink coffee because it gives me heart palpitations and is overall bad for my health. So tea it is, specifically honey lemon tea. Yum.

Working on: Another TCF Modern Au fanfic with Cale and KRS as its protagonists as per usual. Will try to experiment a different writing style and whatnot. And I should probably work on my WIPs...

Reading: currently binging 'How to survive as the second son of the magic household' (webnovel), while comfort-reading on the side 'My friends' by Fredrik Backman (third time laughing and crying over his books, i can never rec him enough)

Last series: Vinland Saga, completed till the end and I was just living dazed for a week afterwards.

Last movie: I don't really watch movies so the last one i did was like, Spider man: No way home, right after its release (which year was that..?)

Last song: Isabella's lullaby from The Promised Neverland. Listening to it without the music is a routine therapy atp ^^

Coffee or tea: TEA!!!! THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH TEA FOR ME!!! I would've liked coffee as well but i physically am incapable of swallowing the bitterness. Milk tea is my every day comfort drink <33

Working on: Uhh just started the first chapter of a tcf torture Cale fic,,,,lots of wip in the background as well but this one's my current focus. Also working on getting a sleep schedule that involves sleeping before 4am.

i realised as i was answering this that i really need to consume media again omg

reading: a little life (i can never not rec it enough but the vocab is tasty and i wanted to see if i still hate it as much as i did during my first read) and iron flame (my friend is holding me at gunpoint, i’ve been trying to finish it for m o n t h s)

last series: uuuuh it’s been a hot minute but i rewatched tian guan ci fu (gorgeous and sent me right back into the hyperfixation) & and knight rider was being broadcast recently

last film: i can genuinely not remember….???

last song: currently listening to new perspective by p!atd

coffee or tea: coffee!!! (who woulda thought) but ill tea if im feeling under the weather aka throughout the entirety of winter

working on: a lot of things……. too many things…. the rokcale yearning fic, itcwsas (this one in my head, mostly) and a tgcf longfic (which, knowing myself, will never see the light of day). and right as i am typing this i should be working on my math assignments oopsie

Reading: currently on non-holiday-reading-jail (i historically have a Problem with failing to stop reading through the night and having to call out sick the next day so i try to avoid reading Actual Books while not on break), but last I read was Trash of the Count’s Family Part 1, and I’ve been voraciously consuming fic of it in the meantime (the trick is that most fic aren’t 100k+ so I can binge them without locking myself into crippling sleep deprivation)

OH AND I NEARLY FORGOT need to catch up with S Classes That I Raised and actually find a place to read the ORV side stories

Last series: TV series, I’m assuming? In which case uhhhhh Link Click? It’s been a hot minute. Need to get back to it…still on the The Gang Goes to England arc. The last one I remember that I both finished season 1 and really really enjoyed was S1 of Wind Breaker and S1 of DanDaDan, but now they have S2s and I need to catch upppppp—oh! And Battlebots! Gotta catch up on the last two seasons. Missed the tournament last year

Last film: uhhhhhhh oh! Everything Everywhere All At Once! Watched it on the plane last flight :) really good!!! Of course I vibe with absurdism in general, but the execution and unflinching ridiculousness of it all was 11/10. You’ve GOTTA play a story like this straight and sincere and by god they DID it

Last song: Tsuki wo Miteita by Kenshi Yonezu just finished playing in the car. Next in the queue is Taikutsuwo Saienshinaide by EVE. This isn’t me being deliberately obtuse or pedantic btw this is just how these two songs’ names are listed on English language iTunes. They don’t even treat the を particle the same. In Yonezu’s the wo is separated by a space and in EVE’s it’s not. Romaji!

Coffee or tea: NEITHER!!!!! Give me water give me soda but do NOT give me the leaf/bean juice

Working on: too much and not enough! Main project right now is Heir to the Dragon God, original longform fantasy inspired by TCF and the like. Also some art is brewing in the background. I may or may not try and write some media analysis essays in the future. Who knows? What I really should be doing tho is cleaning my house—

Reading: False Knees (amazing birb comics), Unlearning Shame by Devon Price (audiobook but ima still count it; great read if you struggle with being "enough" in societal standards but even if you don't, it's pretty eye-opening and I'd recommend it), many webtoons but recently more of letters on the wall, teenage mercenary, spell for a smith, unordinary, and eleceed. I started ORV side stories a while ago and I lost the tab so I needa go back and find it; also need to catch up on sxf manga

Last series: Succession, I'm watching it with some college friends and it's not normally my cup of tea but it's very interesting. Other than that, then spy x family s3 which has been great :D

Last film: very long time ago...uh, I think Superman 2025 probably

Last song: 你最近還好嗎 (How have you been lately?) by Lil Ghost 小鬼, it's probably currently one of my song obsessions xD

Coffee or Tea: ok so it depends. coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon/evening. in the morning I prefer black coffee (or espresso if im desperate and in a rush/will not have access to a restroom soon lmfao), in the afternoon/evening im open to trying all kinds of lattes etc, i do love a good matcha latte or vanilla latte. i used to be a huge yerba mate consumer in college but no more!! i never want to relive that aspect again, i try not to have more than 2-3 cups of coffee in a day anymore (typically it's just 1 now). herbal tea (am a fan of chamomile) if i don't need caffeine/need a warm drink.

Working on: myself! i've recently been working on learning more about myself and my preferences and why i react/feel certain ways about certain things which has been both eye-opening and frustrating lmao. nothing fandom related as of late, ive barely had the energy to consume webtoons here and there which is kinda sad but work is seriously draining like 90% of my energy lately sigh :'(

Reading: It would take too much space to list all the manga, webtoons and novels i'm waiting for new chapters of xD Honorable mentions: S-ranks That I've Raised (there's so much going on, it's fun), Strange Grief Wants to Retire (it's pretty funny) as for the novels, Skip and Loafer, Wind Breaker, Kemutai Hanashi as for manga. I kinda wanna list The Greatest Estate developer, but the webtoon has just finished, i think ^^'

Last series: Sousou no Frieren if we're talking about tv series, Lord of Mysteries if about books. I've always liked Frieren for the calm and grounding atmosphere and the way it chooses to portray different topics, it kinda feels like a warm cup of tea in winter, if that makes sense xD As for LoM, it's the more exciting type and i guess i got quite attached to the characters, as well as intrigued about the worldbuilding and the power system

Last film: The Matrix, i think? I've known a little about it, but never really went out of my way to see it and not long ago it just happened to air on TV when i was sitting with my parents. It's not really my cup of tea, but i guess i can see why it's been well-received ^^'

Last song: Passing Memories by Hoyo-Mix (i've been low-key obsessed about this one for months, to the point of attempting to figure out how the pronunciation works just for it xD)

Coffee or Tea: always tea in my case as i've never been able to accept the taste or even smell of coffee ^^' There's so much variety of tea that i'm not sure i'll ever get bored of it, not to start about wonders of milk tea and matcha latte

Working on: renovating my room (that will be a work in progress for a while, turns out i'm not motivated enough for this and so far it has mostly proven i'm capable of living even in less comfortable conditions xD); also a gift for a friend, currently checking if i can open and reassemble a kinder surprise back in a way that will leave no traces (if it's named a surprise then it shall stay one)

reading: I started reading "Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die" by Greer Stothers a few days ago. I'm only 60ish pages in but so far the book is a lot of fun. its very silly :)

I'm also reading lotr but thats going pretty slow. to me lotr is the kind of books eries where you really have to sit down for a while and read it in big chunks to properly get immersed and ive sadly not really had the time for that recently.

last series: *world weary sigh* I let my roommate pick what show we'd watch one evening and she put on the Mr Beast show :') (I only stayed for like. half an episode so not sure if this actually counts)

the last show I watched of my own free will was Alien Stage iirc (for the nth time)

honorable mention for Malevolent. the final episode came out about a week ago but i have been too scared to listen to it so far. please I've been foolowong this series for like 4-5 years now, I don't want it to end

last film: Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein!! it was really good :)

last song: Bitter Water by The Oh Hellos

coffee or tea: tea all the way. I drink a lot of tea, especially in the cold weaher we're having in my area rn. And I don't do well with caffeine so I cant really drink coffee anyways

working on: Lio Promare fanart (veeeery slowly because life's been busy)

Reading: I still need to finish up the last bit of Snow Falling on Cedars…. It's been sitting on my desk and I'm a bit afraid the cockroaches might have gotten to it ><;

Last series: We haven't the time to read a series in a while, I need to finish Tian Guan Ci Fu. We hate shows so we don't watch any

Last film: Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstien, like what prev said it's really good! We're also watching Colorful Stage: The Miku Who Can't Sing thanks to a friend that found it for us!

Last song: Dawn from the Delta Force game

We've been trying to get back into shooter games, I find Delta Force to be on the more fun side for us ^^

Coffee or Tea: Tea! Absolutely tea. I love flowers and researching things, so I've been looking into different ways to brew and experimenting with milk tea, plain teas, etc. We've been brewing for a few years now, and apparently we make such good tea that one of our friends (who hates tea, never drinks any btw) loved it! (We made them a matcha latte with lavender honey and mixed in some lavender-chamomile tea, added enough matcha to mix with both the milk and l.c.)

Working on: A bit of Limbus Company/Project Moon fanart and a couple Minecraft skin, one for a good friend of ours and one for our partner system ^^

reading: almost done with dan abnett's the end and the death, volume 1. it's genuinely so peak i'm insane over it

last series: oh man i can't even remember. not a watcher of shows lol but i have a few animes on my watch/finish list (frieren, mob psycho, dr stone, saiki k, death note, flcl to name a few; i've also been thinking about rewatching yuyu hakusho)

last film: true grit, with my family. it was good! not my favourite though cause i'm not huge on westerns, but i'm probably gonna try to watch iron lung tomorrow!

last song: listening to my sanguinius playlist rn! as of writing this i have "a moment apart" by odesza on. i associate him with that style of music for some reason i can't properly articulate

coffee or tea: tea! coffee gives me crazy jitters and blood pressure but tea makes me feel fancy and tastes good with milk and honey in it :)

working on: i have a few fic ideas kicking around, and some random doodles. and a sweater. all of these are warhammer related and most involve sangy cause he's my favourite and i want to pet him like the beautiful pigeon he is

ummmm tags:

reading: Warrior Cats: Fire and Ice! Not quite reading, but listening to an audio-book! Doing the same with the Horus Heresy series!!

last series: The Hot-Zone, Five Days at Memorial (which pissed me off so bad that I unironically got dizzy), Kill Lupercal, bits and pieces of Hammer and Bolter, and finally- Angels of Death!

last film: Five Nights at Freddy's, Dog Soldiers, and All Quiet on the Western Front (1979)

last song: Be Calm - fun. and Number Nine - Aviators

coffee or tea: Coffee! I usually don't take my coffee black, though. Often with cream, and sugar.

working on: A We Happy Few AU I've been writing since 2018! And an alternate backstory for Sanguinius from Warhammer 40k. (30k technically.)

reading: The First Wall by Gav Thorpe, 3rd book of the Siege of Terra, and Valdor by Chris Wraight on the side. Audiobook for the first, regular reading for the second.

last series: we're watching the recent Interview With The Vampire show with a good friend, honestly having a blast with it.. I forget what the previous show was before this, we watched Kill Lupercal with sorormaior i think.

last film: Vampire Hunter D (1985). UNEXPECTEDLY funny. Bloodlust is on the list for the near future as well. Other than this, we rewatched Treasure Planet before this.

last song: Lullaby of the Manifold from Warframe - The Old Peace. Warframe lore is often on my mind these days, I enjoy thinking about it as a DAOT type era.

coffee or tea? - coffee for sure, it soothes my adhd brain

working on: i am tentatively writing a few pieces set in my Sanguinius resurrection au (affectionately calling Perceverse) but truth to be told i haven't written anything in well over 10 years so it's a bit of a struggle. however I've put so much thought into it, i really want to try.

also at least two pieces are smut in there lol.

Reading: I SHOULD be reading sicarius novels but i’m taking a break. almost at the end of my Game of Thrones audiobook, and I’ve started a reread of The Hobbit

Last Series: still Fallout, which was excellent!

Last Film: IRON LUNG. GOOD MOVIE. GO SEE BLOOD MOVIE.

Last Song: NEVER HAD A CHOICE, NEVER LET THE OPS WIN, CALM THEM NERVES GOT THE WHOLE WORLD WATCHIN’ !!!

Coffee or Tea? last thing i had was a lovely london fog before bed so we’ll say tea

Working On: Sicarius is having an absolutely normal time in comorraggh.

Reading: verrrry slowly working my way through the Wheel of Time series, still on The Eye of the World. I am gonna have so many new blorbos, I can already tell.

Last Series: Fallout, really hoping that season 3 is as good as the first two.

Last Movie: I think it was Wake Up Dead Man, which goes to show how often I settle in for full movies.

Last Song: Wouldn’t You Like (along with the rest of Epic: The Musical, please don’t ask how long I stayed up last night).

Coffee or Tea? Tea, cause my body decided that the amount of caffeine in coffee should effect me the way a couple energy drinks effect normal people.

Working on: ah… in theory, I have drafts for the next chapter of A Lady’s Duty (baby Sansa decides to adopt Jon) and a sequel to on of my Dragon Age II fics, in practice I’m running a large group through Curse of Stradh and all the creative energy is going towards keeping up with them. I love my party to bits, they are trying so hard to be good, they aren’t being murderhobos, but they have absolutely earned the name Chaos Weasels.

ok lemme see if I can remember half of this 😭

Reading: Sherlock Holmes I Think???? I genuinely don't remember the last book I read if it wasn't Study in Scarlet. I've mostly been reading CoA IX Lore and idk if that counts ;u;

Last series: Either Link Click or Apothecary Diaries, I forget which I caught up with first. Idk if Anjail counts but I hope it does.

Last Movie: Kpop Demon Hunters

Last Song: Undertale Neutral Song Unaligned. Originally my sister picked out the song to listen to and it just ended up in my mix and I can't mess with the music much when I drive, but that song is SO SEBASTION CODED I'M STEALING IT.

Coffee or Tea: Tea...a nice rooibos mix specifically bc my brain can't handle caffeine.

Working on: Chapter 4 of my book ;u; I'm struggling. Also a lot of art wips/commissions

Reading: The Book Thief

Last series: I JUST finished Frieren. Very good, do so recommend

Last movie: I believe it was Song of the Sea but I’m not 100% sure

Last Song: Dream Sweet in Sea Major (but only the first part bc I played it as a bit lol)

Coffee or Tea: TEA. Fruit tea, Chai, Constant Comet, BOBA.

Working on: ummmmmmmm…. Not really anything at the moment. Wanting to start another epic friendship bracelet, finish an animation, and write the rest of LFMFS short story

TAGS!

Reading: Death Note, Vol. 1 (I’ve mostly been reading mangas here recently, I’ve been slacking)

Last Series: I was just watching Attack On Titan last night. (I’m currently on S1:EP16–it’s really good) I’ve also just finished the third season of Spy x Family, and I’m watching Tamon’s B-Side & MHA Vigilantes S2 as the episodes are releasing!! Oh and I watched the One Piece live action S1 not long ago!!! Dw I am also working on the anime as well… I guess I’ve been watching a lot heh

Last Movie: I think it was either Enola Holmes 2!

Last Song: Oh gosh—I listen to so many songs that I don’t even know ;-; I’ve been listening to the AoT theme song for the first season a lot though… I’ve also listened to Stray Kids music a lot, and Missing Piece by John Michael Howell (It’s really good, I recommend).

Coffee or Tea?: Tea 100%, I love coffee but it really screws my stomach over—I’m no fancy tea drinker though, I’m content with my sweet tea sitting in the corner :)

Working on: Not anything at the moment, really. I have some fanfics and AUs planned though, especially for MHA, SxF, and ALNST… Y’all might have to bully me into actually writing them though, I’m horrible at actually sitting down and doing the thing.

Wow I did not realize I typed so much.. whoops

Reading: Extreme Leadership (uhhhhh I don’t remember who it’s by and I’m comfy right now so don’t want to go and look lol XD)

Reading: i am procrastinating starting Midnight Strangers

Last series: mustve been Inanimate Insanity s2, i started rewatching from Rain On Your Charade. seeing suitcase in the lake hurt me :( i think i stopped after Alternate Reality Show, that lightbrush scene makes me so fuzzy

Last movie: i honestly dont know the last movie i fully watched, but i dropped in on one my parents were watching for a while last night called Sharper. its about a giant con, i recommend it!

Last song: itunes says The Greatest Show but in my head the one on loop is Sleep Well (and Hell Like This, i suppose. i really enjoy HLT)

Coffee or Tea? COFFEE I AM DRINKING COFFEE RIGHT NOW i like tea but my morning beverage of choice is coffee. did you know its not supposed to be bitter? if it tastes bitter, it's been burnt at some point in the process. get the lowest roast possible and brew it slooooooow. i get jugs of it at costco thats been pre-brewed for like 10 hours, its entirely tolerable black and my mom's stove-brewed is even better. easier to fine tune the temperature when it's in a smaller batch

Working on: getting into college :,D took a gap year and now i hope to start this fall. i have some admissions questions and then it's basically just applying for everything and picking a school, i'm very likely to be accepted at most schools
