With help from my artists and betas, I humbly offer you:


Swallowing the Brimstone

with artist: @blackstar
and artist: @tilliquoi

In his father’s stead, Thane has been tasked with protecting the valuable fortress of Iron Town, but between wolf gods, demon curses, Star Clan, and the Aranei Empress, every choice leads to bloodshed. Alongside Thane are three warriors: Maka, a cursed princess exiled from her home; Black Star, an assassin who must kill a god to earn his independence; and Mifune, a mercenary who must protect a young girl. Together, these four people are tasked with walking a path that few have ever dared, chosen by the gods to see with eyes unclouded. A Princess Mononoke AU.

Pairings: Endgame Black*Star/Death the Kid, Soul/Maka. Various implied. This isn’t a romance.
Rating: R
Warnings: Violence, blood/gore, cannibalism, adult situations, race-wide persecution/abuse/genocide, main character death

Read the story: AO3 (recommended), FF.net (really blarg)

Tilliquoi: [all of da arts]

Please give them all the feedback in the world. I can’t convey how much they’ve done for me.


Hello, I am Marsh of Sleep, and I tried to resbang 2015!

Aaaand I didn’t quite make it. If you thought I was dead, you were almost right– but if I hadn’t joined resbang as an author last year, there is no way this story would exist.

This fic is entirely the result of the amazing partners I’ve had through the event, and I could not have done it without them. Every single member of the #dreamteam has been fundamental to the completion of this story, no take-backs. Thank you for sticking with me past the deadline, guys. You’ve worked so hard and I am both proud and tremendously honored.

Huge thanks to all of my betas: Adorabbey, Adulterclavis, Darkpurply, Fabulousanima, Sojustifiable, Thebrightestfell, Victoriapyrrhi, and Zxanthe. Please pretend tumblr let me tag you all.

Special thanks to raining-down-hearts for ‘Fallen Star’, and to everyone else who supported me these several months, encouraging me to finish despite everything else going on in my life.

Please enjoy this little beast we’ve created.

Obligatory yearly PSA

Hello Soul Eater fandom

I have felt urged to make a fresh post about How To Source, because when I go trawling through the tags to promote cool art and already have to wade through the violent pornography I frequently find a great piece either not sourced or, perhaps worse, sourced from We Heart It. I dunno, they’re both p bad.

I am also an artist. I have seen my work reposted without credit to me. I have also been the noob who has reblogged art without credit. I know this game, so harken to mine harrowing plea: please source your shiz properly or don’t post it at all.

Maybe you don’t know art sourcing etiquette. That’s ok. We aren’t condemning you, we just want you to get up to speed, pronto, before you inadvertently run an artist off the internet. (RIP katsura miya)

Maybe you do know art sourcing etiquette, but you’re lazy. That’s less ok. In the interest of not promoting excessive violence, I will stop this sentence here.

For convenience, here are a few links that may be of use to you and your quest:

  1. Reposting from Pixiv Without Ruining The Artists’ Careers
  2. Finding The (Real) Source Of Your Image (and a handy right-click addon that makes it a billion times easier) 
  3. Sourcing Your Shit On Mobile 

Also here is the cheatsheet trinity of posting art:

  • We Heart It ain’t a source
    • neither is Zerochan
    • neither is Pinterest
  • Pixiv is off-limits
    • unless you get actual, factual permission from the artist
  • Don’t save an image from an artist’s tumblr and turn around and repost it
    • what the actual hell

    Thank you, and have a pleasant stay. We are here and we do a lot of things and try to be supportive of each other. Peace love and fandom.
