10 Days Of LawLu 2017 [S T R A W H E A R T]

“Long ago, the 8 Servamps lived together in harmony…”

I’ve been thinking about a Avatar The Last Airbender/Servamp AU for a very long time now!!! But I put it off for many reasons–

Mostly cause poses and outfits designs are hard lol But also because I couldn’t decide which element would suit each character… some I knew for sure what I wanted, but others I liked multiple ideas! So I drew both concepts.

 I can’t decide if I like Earthbender Freya or Kiyoshi Warrior better, Airbender Licht?? or Water Tribe Licht…and then Sakuya??? There’s several ideas there too. 😅 It’s been YEARS since I’ve seen ATLA. I slowly remembered a lot of things! It was quite nostalgic~ I’ll have to draw some actual fan art for it later!

I really just wanted to get the overall concept out of my system, it was so fun to do this!!! I was actually going to draw more characters and ideas, but maybe later lol this post got really large before I even knew it. I was actually going to make that comic longer too but HNNNGGH WORk–

Here’s a bonus doodle too, cause I just imagine so many scenarios and ideas omg:

Got to become the master of all 4 elements!! 

Hear me out, it’s not accurate but fuck off, Thanos snaps and Bucky is gone. But ya’ boy Winter isn’t. Winter who doesn’t give a fuuuuuck about the people he’s with; afterall, these are the people that Bucky connected with, not him. He does dig the new arm though.

Everyone, that survived anyway, is treating him with kiddy gloves. Until Tony-Fucking-Stark crash lands a spaceship into Wakanda territory and is the only one who reacts to the Soldier. (“What the fuck is this? Barnes minus the actual Bucky? Great.”). And Winter likes it. He likes the standoffish attitude, and obviously can’t take a hint, so he sticks to Tony like a shadow while they’re trying to figure out how to do this whole “un-snap” thing.

When Tony finally snaps and demands to know why the fuck Winter is following him 24/7 the answer is simple. “You treat me like me, not some broken toy missing a piece.”

the steamiest smut for the fluffiest, most romantic fic ever. reblog if you agree 

During a conversation with my manager this morning, she mentioned that her manager– the district manager– had told her that “We want people who are passionate about our products. We don’t want people working here if they’re doing it for the money.”

To which the manager (internally, because she doesn’t want to be fired), went “you’ve got to be fucking shitting me.”

Here’s the thing: it is totally possible to do a job for the passion and not be obsessively thinking about the money every minute of every day. In fact, there have been economic studies regarding that very thing.

You know when it starts?

When the employee in question is making $50-75k per year.*

That’s the starting point of financial security. That’s the point when you’re fairly secure that you’re going to have rent, food, and basic living expenses covered. 

I’ve worked a lot of jobs over the years. A lot. I saw the same working as a freelancer– when I charged lower rates, my clients treated me like shit and acted like they were doing me a favor; when I charged more, they respected me as a professional. A newspaper that started out paying me above market wage also treated me very kindly, because they started with the assumption that I was a human being who needs to eat.

In my experience, the employers that insist that your job be your “passion” are also the ones that pay you nothing and treat you like garbage. It’s exactly like abusive people, who tell you that you would put up with their abuse if you “loved them enough”. It’s a way of convincing the victim that they’re responsible for their own mistreatment, which is absolutely fucked up.

Here’s my advice to you:

It is absolutely okay to take a job that doesn’t pay you what you deserve–  you’ve got to eat, after all. But don’t think for a second that you have a responsibility to that job. If you see something available that pays better and treats you better, take it and don’t look back. Don’t waste an ounce of sympathy for employers who try to convince you that passion is an acceptable substitute for survival.

WHY EVERY WRITER SHOULD READ FABLEHAVEN

It’s not because the writing is flawless because, let’s face it, Mull is wonderful at many things but he has no voice or style.

BUT

EVERY. WRITER. CAN. LEARN. FROM. HIS. VILLAINS.

Name one perfect villain. Voldemort? His weakness was arrogance and also breakable items. Galbatorix? Boring. The Ring of Sauron? Is that even a thing? Idk but it’s boring as well. Darth Vader?? Wasn’t he actually a good guy gone wrong? Idk guys I don’t watch these movies sorry.

BUT THE SPHINX

Fucking flawless villain.

He plotted and schemed for millenia. Literally. He was patient and cunning and always about fifty steps ahead of his enemies. He had no weaknesses.

Best of all, his ultimate plan was not to rule the world or achieve immortality or whatever. It was just to make the world a better place, and honestly, it might have worked. He had a whole system set up in advance, he had everything prepared to control the demons. The scariest part? He was so NOT power hungry that he was 100% willing to put his plan down and walk away if the demons were not willing to cooperate. After /thousands/ of years of preparation, he was totally fine with doing that. Because he wasn’t crazy. He was totally logical, totally reasonable. It’s almost terrifying how cunning and intelligent he was.

And he didn’t even hold anything against his enemies. He respected them, he never underestimated them. He played to their strengths and weaknesses perfectly so he could get exactly what he needed from them. They didn’t even realize that they had. (*cough*the dragon betrayal*cough*) and he promised amnesty to them should his plan ever come to fruition. He wanted them on his side and he totally understood that they never would be.

In fact, the only thing that caused his downfall was something he would not have had an iota of control over. I don’t want to give too many spoilers because ~read the books~ but if it weren’t for a betrayal that he never could have seen coming because it was literally in the makings for longer than he’d been alive, his plan would have totally succeeded. He had ALL the cards and he didn’t let his guard down even then. And once the betrayal happened, he joined forces with his enemies to bring down the demons.

The good guys NEVER would have succeeded without the Sphinx.

That’s. What. Makes. Him. A. Perfect. Villain.

“Don’t let sacrifices be in vain, reflect later. To entrust that which can save those who are still alive.. those methods are the most important.”
