Minotaur

Nurtured this in my chest for far too long. Behold the song of Minotaur Hotel.

***

Minotaur...
You just want to be loved
And I will love always....

When the sun rises now,
A star is now born,
Eclipse in white and black alike
In shadows and storms.

A pain felt through the aeons,
Owl sight on your wounds!

Minotaur!
You just want to be loved,
And love will come finally!

See the threads that bind us,
Friends and threads are alike,

And Mango Makes Three

"Sure you don't want to play this one?" Sydney asked.

"Single player, my man" Carl said, relaxing on the couch, "Besides, watching you fail is pretty funny."

Sydney gave him the middle finger, but eagerly started.

"Babe, it's going to be a bit violent" the otter warned.

"Its okay love" TJ said, "I can handle as long as its not the drawn out parts."

"Man, who are you and what did you do to my TJ?" Carl snickered, putting out his tongue playfully.

Return to Ulgrotha 4: Trauma


Onella's cathedrals stood tall since Serra was alive.


Even with the Baron's darkness they did not fall, but a stain came about them.


The old abbeys now were suffused with a dimmer light, as if fog clouded them. Here and there there were spots of gathered white light where the window glass focused them, and they were said to be especially pure and graceful, rich in white mana.


This was where Ihsan spent most of his days.

The Balto Success Timeline

In one timeline's 1995, Balto flopped at the box office. The exact reasons are unclear but this is mostly attributed to competition with Toy Story, which not only was a damn good movie but a visual novelty at the time. This had a negative chain reaction that would result in the closing of Amblimation Studios, the rise and fall of Dreamworks Animation, and ultimately the dominance of CGI in the western movie industry. Balto would have two direct to video sequels, but in the end its clear which...

AU take where Nikolai, William and Sam are in a poly relationship. But Nik is homesick! Will he be okay!?

Work Text:

Nik relaxed on the lawn.

Leaving Lakhia for the States was a choice, but one not taken lightly. And though the harsh continental climate of Pueblo vaguely resembled the more inland parts of his country, there was always something wrong. The air was too dry, only monsoons brought rain to the desert. The rocks were too weird, red and grainy i...

Pride Podcast

Ending pride month with this.

***

"Hi bitches" started Carl, "So today I finally decided to use my twitch for something and invited my friends. All childhood friends of mine, would you believe that?"

"No" Chase snarked, intended to deadpan but barely containing a chuckle.

"Okay, heretic, care to introduce yourself?" Carl said, punching him playfully.

"Hi, my name is Chase Hunter, I just transferred from journalism to history and my life is kind of a mess right no...

Pride Cake

First Repeat fanfic woowoo!

***

No matter the practise, it was still a fairly meticulous process. And Sissel wasn't going to mess this one up.

It wasn't a commission for one of the several weddings taking place this season, it wasn't even a birthday cake (though he always took special care, even thought Euca was content with essentially chocolate mounds). No, today was one of the rare moments when he realised he was an artist, and sometimes self-expression was necessary, esp...

Love Riddles

Where I get experimental

S: "What's curved yet round,
A last soldier in the valley of peace?"

T: "Mm, I guess my claws? They do come out as a last resort, and you do love touching my paws."

S: "Bingo! Next one:

A forest I always get lost in."

T: "My cheek tufts! Syd, you're not even trying."

A pole unweathered by age or darkness,

One I cannot touch but admire still."<...

At the Bistro

Sydney and TJ have lunch with Sam and William.

William parked his truck next to the bistro. Their car, it seems, was already parked, and if he could squint extra hard he could seem them inside, the lnx waving.

"Guess you won't do your mafia 'I was waiting for you' shtick" Sam chuckled.

"For that I will shove thirteen poles up your ass and humiliate you in front of the entire Personacon."

"I'm getting hard just thinking about it" Sam raspberried.

No Goasts Pls

"...and so that's pretty much why I think The Beautiful Darkness is kind of fucked up" Carl said, killing Sydney's character with a kick.

Sydney didn't much care. Okay, maybe he did, because he was a bit of a sore loser no matter what, but friendly company and a shared love of comics with a childhood bestie was enough to sheer him up. He laid down the controls and support himself with his arms, flexing his back which was frankly starting to hurt.

Second Polar Night fanfic

More at this point extremely speculative fluff that will not get dated at all.

Work Text:

Garret stood on the deck, smoking.

In the polar night, there was pretty much nothing to see. Occasionally a distant aurora rimmed the horizon, and it only last for a few moments. He cursed himself for not thinking of burrowing Stefan's camera, maybe then-

"Hey."

Garret nearly jumped as Stefan laughed behind him.

"Jesus fucking Christ, do do that!" View Post

Postnuptial Playing

Both of them were breathing heavily, sweat matting their fur, along with other fluids.

They shifted and turning, laying to the side to face each other. They just wordlessly smiled, staring into the oceans of their eyes and minds.

A soft, tender kiss, the otter and lynx alike puring as much love as possible, for they were not truly each other's for all eternal history.

A white metallic ring in each fifth finger was a testament to a vow, in truth made so long ago when they rea...

The first Polar Night (https://karras-vns.itch.io/polar-night) fanfic. Given all there is is just a demo, I'm pretty sure I' butcher this horribly and it will look terrible in hindsight in case future development shows out hideously OOC these speculations are.

Echo Pride

"Ready?" Sydney asked his beloved, holding his paw softly.

"Y-yeah" TJ answered, and they both entered the parade.

TJ could hear Chase and Carl "wow" in astonishment, and he himself was quite impressed. It was though a flare exploded everywhere, all colors lining banners, the walls, floats, even the asphalt on the road. There were lots of drag queens and other extravagant acts alongside more mundane pride capes and pins.

"Bit of a disappointment" Flynn said.

Shadow

I was born, you were not; for that I'm sorry.

However, a curious thought occured to me: if death is never the end, where does that leave you, who never began?

Were you in the shadows while I was in the light?

Perhaps I died there while you lived in my place, or perhaps we co-existed all along.

For so long I focused on the twin suns, I never thought of the moon in between.

Still, the light and darkness between a few times.

The solstice nears; let us meet the...

Of Sea And Sun: Writing

The evolution of writting in the Subantarctic Realm was complex. Some would argue that it dates as far back as the Formative Era, while others would argue that true writing only cropped up around 8,000 years BCE, due to extensive interactions with Aboriginal Australians and their message stick proto-writing.

With the invention of needles and sewing came Dzag!arnĂ³, a method of transmitting information through knots on a thread. This is vaguely similar to the Andean Qui...
