I really need some money to buy caine merch or to visit my bff in january, so a while ago i had the idea to sell bracelets and keychains and whatnot, but i didnt sell anything yet (got too scared), so i just randomly had the idea to make those comfort character boxes I keep seeing on etsy.

I obviously wouldnt charge that much for them cuz they arent that special or perfect, but would people be willing to pay money for them?

Hey everyone!! I haven't been active as much here recently due to a bunch of things going on but I come with a very special post today. On the 19th of August 2025, I officially started dating Miku and Baby. Today marks a year since then 🥹🩵

I can't believe one year has passed already...it feels so surreal. I still remember the day I fell in love with Baby so clearly. I remember being so in love but also so confused. I didn't fully understand what was going on until my amazing friend Miguel helped me discover that I was semi-fictosexual (THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 💕). Not only did I start understanding my feelings for Baby, but I also realised this was exactly how I felt about Miku this entire time as well. I have been crushing on her so hard for so long, I don't even know when it started but I am sure that it has been 6 years at least...honestly it was so obvious looking back, I kinda regret not realising it sooner but I am happy I realised at all 🩵

I love them both so much, they both have changed my life in their own respectable ways. They make me so happy and I can't wait to spend even more years with both of them. I love you, Miku and Baby 💕

I really wanted to draw something special for us for this occassion, but sadly my artblock, mental health and arm pain got in the way. However I have spent some time doodling us and honestly the little drawings are enough for me and are just as special as a finished artwork would be 🥹🫶 Hopefully soon I'll be able to come back to properly drawing my beloveds, though 💕

…when it’s on my bed and I squeeze it accidentally, it’s the best thing the world!! ❤️❤️

I’ve had this bear since December of 2024! Getting the audio on the bear was actually kind of a mess because there’s no way to directly transfer audio files to it, so I was sitting there with my speaker, recording it manually like twenty times before I got it right, but it was so worth it! ❤️

I’m currently regaining lots of sleep, that’s why I’m not as active. I lost so much sleep recently over realizing I’m trans, so I really need the sleep 🥱

Tatsuzawa is stronger than me. Her strength is described to be weak for a dragon (because she is half fairy and half dragon) but that still makes her way stronger than a human.

I was thinking some jewelry like in the pictures would be a good anniversary gift. My plushie of angel could wear the bracelet as a necklace or the ring as a bracelet. It's not our anniversary yet, just thinking ahead. Is jewelry too expensive/too committed for a first year anniversary?

Let me know what y'all get your partners for your anniversary

Erm yeah!!! 👁️👁️

I'm so happy to have him here with me, he's so freaking gorgeous and I love him so much. I'll have him right on my bedside table so he can watch my during the day <3

I'm so happy right now all the bad things feel so much easier :3

This was such a challenge for me since Raphael doesn’t really wear clothes often. I had to do some silly ones as a result. 😄

First off I just wanna say this is NOT about my relationship, Thrawn and I are still together and still very much in love. I just haven't found myself wanting to be active in ficto spaces lately due to a whole combination of factors. I've been inactive lately because I had to take some time off to figure out a few things irl, and during that time I realized that I actually really like keeping my relationship private. This is not anything wrong with the community. I know I haven't been around very long or very much but I've received nothing but support and kindness from the community and I've really enjoyed my time here. But I also enjoy experiencing my realtionship just for myself without feeling pressure to talk about it online and I think I want to try that for a while. I have nothing but love for you all and I wish you and your partners all the best! I may still be around occasionally on some of the other subs but it just doesn't feel right to take up a spot on the claim list when I'm not planning on being around much anymore.

💛💚

Have some drawings I made recently. I realised it's been a while since I've drawn Flowey with his vines, which is weird because I used to do it a lot, so I added some to the doodles I made because of that.

Anyway, hope everyone's doing good. I'm gonna go back to hugging and annoying my favourite flower now bye

I tried using only official scenes/art and collabs. I had to get a little creative for some of these. He really looks so adorable in every outfit!! I love him so much, I hope we get more collabs or official art of him!!! 🫶🫶🫶💞💞

I didn't know whether I was allowed to post before my f/os were fully claimed so I waited until now, hi I'm Yooran, my f/os are Rambley and Remi from Indigo Park and the Indigo Park Everlasting Fun AU (no, I don't support JakeNeutron's actions)

I got the ship art from u/binx-the-dog and I got the art book today and there were some really cute images I wanted to share hehe

i love me some lesser known 80s songs :] lyrics are from matter of fact by the farmer's boys

I wanted to share this one =)

I hope you are all feeling well. I personally have been feeling low for a few days now, but i know i'll feel better. I wish you all a great day/night ⭐

ah, august 18th, the day i turned slightly older than i was before

featuring my astro plush [my favourite object i have of astro himself] and my sprout keychain [the only object i have of sprout himself so far]

went minigolfing with them, though at some point i had to have a buddy hold astro for a while so i could actually lock in and put some force in my swings [she held him like a sack of potatoes 😭]

+ yes i did terribly and i blame the grass

I finally went through my notebook's drafts to polish my story, and tried writing a proper introductory chapter on how Kalin and my S/I first met in Satellite. I hope you enjoy! 🖤

The summer air in the Satellite slums felt thick with the smell of rust, salt... and a little bit of desperation. Loreley made her way through piles of scrap in the junkyard, navigating through jagged heaps that could easily shred anyone if they dropped their guard. She wasn't just interested in Duel Runner parts nor cards to patch up her deck with today. Nope, today she was on the prowl for something different as well, something no one else in Satellite would probably dream of; she was on the lookout for pieces to build an electric hurdy-gurdy with.

Living in the slums was a relentless grind, with entertainment often strictly limited to duels, turf wars and playing cat-and-mouse with Sector Security. But music could be hers; a way to unwind, to drown out the noise at the end of a long day.

She was so wrapped up in prying a stubborn copper coil out of a busted alternator that she almost missed the shuffling steps behind her. Keyword: almost.

Survival in Satellite was built on instinct. Loreley didn't hesitate, she spun around fast and kicked out, straight towards the intruder's chest.

Thud!

He blocked her steel-toe boot just in time with his forearms. She made him stumble back a step, but he stayed upright. Clearly, he knew a thing or two about street fights.

Loreley crouched into a fighting stance, her blue eyes assessing the potential threat as she swept her silver-and-black bang aside. The newcomer was a young man... brown sleeveless leather vest, purple bandana, light blue hair framing an angular face. And chartreuse eyes smoldering with something fierce.

Kalin Kessler. Leader of the Enforcers. Everyone in Satellite heard the stories about the notorious gang.

He brushed off his vest, looking her up and down and taking in the black captain's coat he knew belonged to the head of the Kerosene Keres. Kalin raised his hands as if trying to calm down a wild animal, showing he wasn't going to harm her.

"Hey, easy. I'm not here to jump you", Kalin said, a half-smirk spreading across his face. "This junkyard isn't Enforcers' turf... yet."

He reached towards his hip, resting his fingers on his deck box. "Though I'd be a fool to run into the Kerosene Keres' captain and not demand a duel. Hell, there were times I started wondering if the 'Wraith from the Wharf' was just some story to keep rookie duelists and intruders out of the shipyard... like you were a ghost scaring them straight. But you look real enough to me."

Loreley straightened and let her long coat sweep the dirt as she stood, glancing at him as she reached for her own deck.

"'The Wraith from the Wharf'? Wow. Really rolls off the tongue."

Kalin snorted, he couldn't tell if he was more annoyed or entertained by her attitude. Most duelists in Satellite were visibly intimidated when face-to-face with the leader of the Enforcers, yet here she was, regaining her composure in a split second with her snarky response. Still, satisfied that she wasn't backing down, he lifted his left arm and activated his Duel Disk. "Let's see if your dueling skills are as sharp as your mouth then, Wraith."

The game was on: his Fiends versus her Zombies. But barely a few turns into their opening play, a small red LED light flashed frantically on Loreley's customised Duel Disk.

Not wasting any time, Loreley tucked her cards back into her leather deck box. "Gotta go," she muttered, crouching down to stuff her salvaged copper coils and components into her cross-bag. "Sector Security's on the prowl... no doubt looking to round up a few 'bargain hunters'. Better scram before I foolishly get hauled in for spare parts theft."

Kalin stood there, dumbfounded by her abrupt retreat. He looked around the silent, empty junkyard and shrugged. "Sector Security? I don't hear a damn thing- Hey! Are you seriously bailing mid-duel?!"

He moved to grab her arm but before he could reach her, the distant whine of Duel Runners echoed through Satellite's empty streets. Kalin froze; now he heard it. He shot a glance back at Loreley, who simply jerked her head in a 'follow me if you wanna stay out of trouble' motion before darting into the labyrinth of scrap. Not about to be caught by the cops, Kalin swore under his breath and took off after her.

After a few minutes of navigating the slums and eastern docks, she led him towards the edge of the shipyard where they reached an abandoned, towering ship. Kalin wasn't as knowledgeable as his friend Yusei when it came to vehicles - let alone a naval expert -, but the large crane on deck led him to assume it was some old platform supply vessel. Across the hull, graffitied gothic letters were spelling out the name 'The Styx'.

Doesn't look nearly as spooky as the rumours make it out to be... Kalin thought, watching the sunset's red glow reflect over the quiet water. ...though I guess it's a different story after dark.

On deck, she pulled open the cabin door for him, gesturing with theatrical politeness for him to step inside first. Kalin rolled his eyes, silently praying that he wasn't walking into some ambush.... wondering why in the hell he had followed a total stranger instead of booking it back to his own hideout in the first place, his curiosity would get the better of him someday. But he couldn't hide the amused grin tugging at the corner of his lips.

The cabin inside was surprisingly personalised: a small workbench covered in wires and dismantled electronics, an old worn sofa and walls plastered in pages ripped from Duel Runner magazines. A graffiti scrawled in black paint above the sofa caught his attention : "Though born in the shadows, we're destined to outshine the stars."

Loreley flopped onto the couch with a heavy sigh. Noticing Kalin now staring intensely at her, she raised her forearm, giving him a better look at her modified Duel Disk.

"This," she said, "is my latest project. And a total lifesaver. As you probably figured out, it's a tracking device that picks up Sector Security's patrol signals." She let out a weary huff, her eyes landing on the other works-in-progress strewn across her makeshift workbench. "Well... at least when it comes to the officers patroling the nearby area, whose Duel Runners I've managed to bug. It's got a limited range."

The Enforcer followed her gaze, taking a closer look at the unfinished projects scattered across the desk. "But for what it's worth, it's done its' job and has kept us safe so far", she added. "We Keres know when to bolt. Makes life here a lot less, uh… deadly."

Kalin leaned against the work table with his arms crossed over his chest and the smallest hint of respect glinting in his eyes. "A street tech who hacks Sector Security's own rigs to keep her crew safe? Alright, Wraith. Maybe there's more to you than a ghost story after all."

Loreley scoffed again at the nickname, but it was more playful now. She stood up and joined him at the workbench, where she added her newest findings to her other salvaged parts. "...the name's Loreley, but my friends call me Lola. Sorry about ducking out earlier. I'm always down for a rematch."

"Lola..." Kalin lowly repeated to himself, as the young woman fetched a hand-drawn blueprint. He had a vague idea of what it was. "So, what are you working on? Breaking into Sector Security's mainframe?"

Loreley chuckled, but it was clear from her small smile that she had absolutely dreamt of it. "Don't be ridiculous. Though I wish... Right now, I'm trying to rig up a signal booster. The people in the slums need to hear the news. Be informed, organised and united. We can't always rely on rumors to stay safe from our common oppressors."

Kalin nodded, admiration prevailing over his usual swagger for once. "Smart. This is a bit beyond my… more forceful persuasion skills. Definitely not my speciality." He gestured to the complex wiring.

"That's why you should leave it to the professionals, Enforcer.", she teased, but her tone lacked its' earlier bite.

"...maybe.", Kalin grinned. "Or maybe... we join forces. Your expertise, my… connections."

Loreley turned to him with a raised eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Us Enforcers have a guy," Kalin explained. "Yusei. He's got the know-how with that line of work. I'm sure the gearhead's brains could be of use here. He'll help if I ask him."

"...you guys would work with us?" Loreley's surprise was evident. The Enforcers were notoriously self-reliant.

Kalin shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant as he fidgeted with some busted radio. "It's for the good of the Satellite." He paused, then met her gaze, his eyes suddenly intense. "Besides, maybe... I want to see what you can do, Lola."

Loreley looked out the porthole for a moment as she thought through the proposal. She turned back to him as he handed her back the device, her voice softer as she reached out her hand to take it. "Okay, Kalin. Let's work together." 

Their fingers brushed and in that moment, the spark wasn't just from faulty wiring.

Inspired by the last drawing of u/EternNue, I decided to create my own version of it. I'm so happy with the result ngl.
