Beyza was walking down the street while running some errands and she was trying to hold her coat closed as she did as the wind was blowing like crazy and it was sending a cold chill throughout her body. It hadn't been that windy earlier, but it definitely had picked up a bit. She stopped to try to adjust her coat to stay closed and ad she did, the scarf she had blew off from around her neck and started going down the sidewalk. "No!" She called out and she started chasing it. Her eyes saw Eli coming up the street from her and she pointed at her scarf. "Eli, grab it!" She yelled as she kept running.

After school was done for the day, Travis made his way to the hardware store to pick up a few things he needed to work on the house. He knew that the team that was working with Andrew would have all that stuff, but he wanted his own equipment too. Plus, it just got his mind off everything if he was doing something. It was better than dwelling on things, that was for sure. Once he had what he needed, he walked outside and looked up in time to see Elian walking down the street as well. It'd been a minute since he saw the other, since Travis wasn't exactly attending open mic nights or anything these days, so it was good to see him. "Hey, Eli. How's it going?"

@flwercrwn​ sent “28.  REUNION :  for Elian and Max”!

            max had to do something for a little while, having to disappear to take care of some business. something that needed to be neutralized, for the sake of things being safe and he did it; he reigned victorious, and he was able to return back to his life - to what has become normal... to his love. his next stop was elian’s room, making his way in, and closing the door behind himself. “princess.”

@elianxnavarro "Funny running into you again, Doc. We gotta stop meeting like this. Hey, look, you and that fine ass friend of yours, what's his name?" He thought for a second. "Mateo. Yeah. Real sexy and cool like. Y'all taking applications for a unicorn? Because I'll happily be the meat in that fuck sandwich, let me tell ya. Y'all shouldn't be allowed to look and sound like that and be doctors. That's gotta be a HIPPA violation."

Zion was browsing through the music at the record store to get as a gift for his wife. Their anniversary was coming up in December and he already had a few things hidden for her, but he figured a record would do nicely as well. He was focusing on looking at one as he moved back and bumped into a man. "Sorry." He said as he turned. "That's what I get for moving too fast."

[lexisfontenelle]

She laughed. "I'm not that mean, but it's good to know." She teased him while her eyes gazed around at what options they had so she could give him an idea of what to get her and Hudson. "That's nice. I was strictly a 'I'm not getting married ever' girl until I met Hudson." She laughed. Sure, she had boyfriends in the past, but she never thought of marriage until him. He was was it for her and she knew this would be different than her parents' marriage. "I don't think we have anything to worry about." She beamed. "Okay, come on. Let's get to shopping." @elianxbrowne

END

"You could and that would be well deserved," he laughed, flashing Lexi a grin. He always had appreciated the brunette's banter with him and ability to give him shit when it was most deserved. "Yeah, that will slow things down." He chuckled, "We've got my townhome that works for us for now and plus Isla has been planning a wedding since she was a little girl, I don't think it'll take all that much to pull it together." Eli joked, "That's great, if you guys break up, I think the rest of us are doomed," he nudged Lexi with his elbow. @lexisfontenelle

i think the way male characters interact with each other over a woman says a lot about how they view said woman.

it’s clear here Rhysand is worried not only about the political ramifications but also personal ramifications Azriel’s clear LUSTING after Elain will cause.

its stated and made obvious multiple times throughout this chapter that Az is sexually attracted to Elain….and that’s it. His lust and desire and ENTITLEMENT is made so clear that Rhysand has to step in and reprimand him before it blows up in everyone’s face.

Elain is obviously infatuated with him, and Azriel is playing off of that to sleep with her and then what? he literally doesn’t know because he’s so blinded by lust and jealousy that his brothers have mates he cannot see past getting Elain naked. i believe it’s perfectly implied here he only sees Elian as a challenge, and should he ever get the chance to actually sleep with her he will no longer be equally as infatuated. He won’t even admit to himself he’s not over Mor.

I’m just pointing this out as many people seem to have skipped half of his chapter after seeing the word “arousal” and running with it. if you actually read the chapter as it is written it’s actually pretty gross to see people justifying Azriel’s behavior and mindset.

I personally don’t really care who Elain ends up with, if i wrote the story she’d stay single and living her best life baking and gardening and volunteering in the community but alas this is a romance at the end of the day. but i will not ignore clear implications from the story, Az sees her as a sexual pursuit. i can’t wait to see how the next acotar will play out and if gwyn will receive the necklace / wear it as it would prove to the readers and Elain my point was correct, hopefully not though the ��OW” trope is so icky to me, but as i said it would add to my point. If Az truly liked Elain for Elain he wouldn’t back down from her or from Rhys (although this seems to be a problem for both Az and Cass) and he wouldn’t give this necklace he meant FOR* Elain to another woman on some random whim. I could go on and on but i’m so tired of seeing shippers justify and ignore this bs. Az shouldn’t be near any woman as long as he’s got this jealous and entitled mindset- Gwyn or Elain or whoever yall ship him with.

Хочу рисовать взаимодействия интереснее и необычнее. И решил экспериментировать с дымкой Элиана.

I want to draw interactions that are more interesting and unusual. I also decided to experiment with Elian's haze.

[meltypancake]

⚓ and 🦑 if you want? :)

WAHH HI!! ⚓ this one is answered here :]

🦑 How did you design your OC?

eliane used to be a mage, for a very brief period AHAHAH (this ref sheet is from june 2023)

this is before i had rly figured out her backstory + goals 🫨 once i knew i wanted her to become a traveler, wyvern rider seemed more fitting 🏃 !! so now she's a fully armored lady, accompanied by a prideful and grumpy wyvern friend 😌🫶

on a darker note, an apothecary's daughter taking lives on the battlefield by driving a huge axe into enemies felt somewhat ironic, and very direct (unlike magic), and i was strangely drawn to that...

when i learn how to draw wyverns !! i would love to show off their interactions more🧎🧎it's a goal for the future!

thank you for the questions!!🥹🥹🥹💖💖💖

An Analysis of Cumano - Canondivergent

So if you're here, you already know that Cumano is my jam. But I thought I would give a little analysis to why these characters feel so right for each other in my headcanons and why I love the ship so much.

The Historical Aspect

The first thing that a lot of people think about is the historical aspect and whether there is anything there. I am pleased to tell you that there is!

As far as my headcanons go, I see them living together shortly before Romano went to work for Alfred. The aftermath of Risorgimento left him in desperate need of money and stability and to help his people, he decided that he needed to look outward. He bounced around Latin America for short bursts (only months or maybe a couple of years in a place at a time). However, he spent the longest time in Cuba. This was mainly due their bond being so strong that he wanted to stay.

Italian influence in Cuban culture can be seen through their participation in wars of independence, architecture, art, and engineering. This created communities in Cuba where they interacted with each other and built their own cultures, but also gave to Cuba as a country. They worked a lot in Havana in churches.

So Romano was definitely looking at churches to build his community there and show his skills as I imagine him to be a skilled architect.

So we have a relationship built on an exchange of skills and labor. Romano has always excelled there. He may not like work, but he does it diligently. And in this case, he was more than happy to do it because it was for someone he is fond of.

Elian (Cuba) didn't have a good image of Italians given that he had to deal with the colonial era and the Italians who were brought then were oppressive. His overall view of Europe is not in a good light because of the systems of oppression that were put in place as a result of European presence in the Americas.

Romano is his first interaction with

A) A European who isn't white

B) A European with no real power over him

So this is pivotal for their relationship and really establishes the respect that it's built on. Romano might still be seen as better due to him being European at the end of the day, but he does not come with the goal to subjugate Elian nor does he have the real ability to. We have them at an equal standing with each other. This then leads into our next item to discuss.

The Reconstruction of Values

Romano, while equal to Elian, still does carry some European values because that is how he has been socialized. This means that there is definitely a clash of values when they meet. Because there is an important thing to note about Romano despite his struggles.

He has had positions of wealth and influence before.

In specific, I am looking at the Kingdom of Naples. This period really defined a lot of things for him but especially instilled this idea that he deserves more than he gets. Which. He does. However, there is a limit to that and there is an air of privilege to it which Elian is unfamiliar with.

So unlike other nations who either gave in to Romano's attitude or reacted in a way that caused them to butt heads, Elian does not take his shit and makes sure to clock him on it.

Elian has put up and dealt with entitled Europeans and he refuses to deal with that again. So the moment that Lorenzo pulls his European nonsense, Elian calls him out and makes sure that he knows that whatever fits he threw before are NOT tolerated there.

And for Lorenzo, that's big because well, he's never had someone actually meet him eye to eye and humble him when needed. And especially not in a way that isn't humiliating manner. Antonio, as much as he loves him, embarrasses him greatly. And the other nations don't take him seriously.

Elian is the first nation to sit him down and go "Hey, you're being a dick and an entitled European and I'm not about to deal with that today"

Which really forces him to look at the values he has learned and deconstruct them. This is pivotal to their relationship because it establishes the standards they have for each other and also takes away the imbalance placed between them initially.

For Elian this also means that Lorenzo looks at him and forces him to question the standards he upholds for himself which are primarily located in how he defines his masculinity.

Masculinity

Elian has a complicated relationship with masculinity. He is an Afro Indigenous man in a Latin American country. The standards imposed by machismo as a result of colonialism have a strong grip on him. And historically, he would have suffered from unfair standards on a much more personal level to. Seeing his people subjected to these standards of masculinity would have a horrid effect on him.

As a result, Elian has a strict idea of what it means to be a man for himself. He rarely allows himself to be in touch with his femininity. It's this nagging voice in the back of his head that tells him he isn't allowed to have that. He needs to prove he is a man because as an Afri Indigenous man, he has often been denied manhood.

Despite this, there are positive aspects to his masculinity. He is a dedicated and hardworking man. He cares for the people around him and builds community. And he leads in the best ways that he can.

Lorenzo on the other hand, has a different approach to masculinity. He has been denied manhood on the basis of his race and his transness. He has worked to keep up and catch up with this idea of what masculinity is. He learned it from Rome and he learned it from the other European nations around him. Masculinity was something he could not obtain.

Each nation he has built a relationship with has reduced his masculinity to something they can take away because he does not meet their standards. Even when they do not mean to, they do. It's ingrained in a lot of the standards they have. He isn't as strong, he isn't as quick to bounce back, and so he is not a man the same way they are.

So he often rejects masculinity and just lets himself be in touch with his femininity because what other options does he have? So he feels emotion, he cries, he isn't a provider, he likes pretty things, and he works crappy jobs. He wishes he had manhood the same way his fellow Europeans do, but he knows he doesn't and so he just moves forward.

It is their different standards of masculinity that they are drawn into in each other.

Elian looks at Lorenzo and he sees a strong and resilient man who has carved out what being a man means for himself. He sees someone who isn't afraid to question the standards expected of him. He is God making himself from his own rib. He's amazed by it and he envies him and sees him as more of a man than any other European that came his way.

Elian thinks that Lorenzo is brave and the definition of what a man should be. And he doesn't realize that Lorenzo sees the same in him.

Lorenzo is a man who looks at Elian and sees courage and bravery. He sees immeasurable strength and masculinity in him. He has survived more than Lorenzo has ever known and he knows that. He knows that Elian has seen insane cruelty and has been subjected to awful standards.

And despite it all, he remains kind. He remains faithful to his people and community. He works hard, he dreams big, and he still spares kindness and respect to Lorenzo even when he did not deserve it. He thinks that Elian is what manhood was meant to be. He sees freedom in him.

To Be Seen

This is an important aspect of their relationship and ultimately what tears their walls down and allows them to see beauty in each other worth chasing after.

They both come from being rejected and minimized in their roles. They both know what it's like to be tossed aside despite their resources and land being used by others around them. And though there are definitely things Lorenzo will never know about the other's life, he sees Elian for who he is.

He sees a man who is humorous, who fights for what's right, who doesn't allow himself to be walked over, who has remained standing despite every blow he has received. And he sees his humility. He does not want power, he does not want wealth. He turns away from everything he has ever been told is tempting and defines what is valuable for himself. Lorenzo has never seen that done before. It's revolutionary to him and he is so drawn to it. He sees that Elian just wants to live and make change where he can and he sees that he is struggling too. He sees his steps to changing his ways when he knows he is wrong and he sees his want to be more than what he has been left to be. And so he reaches out and takes his hands to walk by his side as he discovers what it means to be himself.

Meanwhile, Elian sees why Lorenzo is the man he is. He sees that he's playful, that he loves to build things, that he is a hardworker once you get past his complaints. He is ambitious and dreams of being someone who matters to others. He understands his hardships. And he sees his complicated relationships. He sees through his defenses and he sees the scared man that Lorenzo is. He sees the boy in him begging to be released as the man he is meant to be. And he does what nobody else is willing to do, he reaches forward and he lifts Lorenzo up. He has no power, no influence, no wealth to offer. He is a man who is raw and more vulnerable than he lets on. And he extends that bit of himself that he can offer to lift him up. He says "even if they don't see you, I do" and in that act, offers Lorenzo more than he has ever been given before in his life.

Summary

These two consume me for many reasons but overall I think that they have such a fascinating relationship to look at through their historical interactions and their personalities.

They have such distinct personalities that oddly work together. Elian is very much the type of person that Lorenzo needs in his life to call him out when he is acting a fool. And Lorenzo is exactly what Elian needs in his life to work through the layers of him he is afraid of letting others see.

They bring out the best in each other, through their deconstruction of their values to the ways that they define manhood. They understand each other well

These two just have a way of touching each other and breaking the cycles that have been forced upon them. And it is for these reasons that they make such a fascinating dynamic.

God bless Cumano. Amen 🙏🏽

[skyedice]

A very quick messy sketchie BUT REEEEEEE It' a very happy and good kind of overwhelmed tho if that makes sense Best fandom interactions I've had in a while even if it wasn't like a lengthy convo FANDOMS I ENJOY ARE USUALLY WAY LESS ACTIVE (because they're old. Like Psychonauts or Invader Zim) OR MAYBE PPL FROM THOSE ARE ACTIVE HERE AS WELL IDK GUESS I'LL FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT @luxury-nightmare @elians-terrarium @blazefirefox

[doriangallagherx]

The other's insistence that he would've remembered Dorian made the other blush just a little bit. He liked to feel special, even in ways that were a little foreign, like an emergency room physician thinking he'd be a unique enough case study that he wouldn't soon forget. "Mmm, pretty sure you weren't supposed to tell me that," He teased. "But I tend to get people to open up to me rather quickly. I guess I have that way about myself, I make people feel safe. And they are safe with me. Even if I'm not always being the safest with my own actions. I'll never let anyone else get hurt in my company." "Quite frankly, you can have whatever you want from me, Elian," Dorian replied swiftly, making sure to let the R in 'whatever' gracefully roll off his tongue in that very singular Latin way, like what the language of Spanish was derived from. Dorian watched the other's tongue peek out from between his lips and a mirage of filthy images flooded his brain instantly. He shifted in his stance, subtly adjusting the erection in the swimming trunks he was donning. "I'd love to know exactly what you mean by that, sir." This may have technically been another staff member he was speaking to, but fuck, he was sexy. And he had a presence about him that reeked of authority. Dorian quite literally wanted to drink it all in.

"I would have remembered you." Even if Elian had never met him in the emergency room before, he'd certainly met people like him. He wondered briefly what Dorian's poison might be, what stunt he pulled that would land him a bed in a hospital. It was clear he was a sexual creature, but there must have been more beneath that. "Occasionally there are patients that I don't mind getting more familiar." He admitted, something he'd rarely say out loud. "But I am bound by my oath to be professional with my patients. So I'm glad you never were one."

The moment that perfectly spoken Spanish left Dorian's lips, Elian's attraction to him easily increased 25%. His smile betrayed his surprise for a moment but he managed to shake it off in order to reply. "Elian." He gave his name, tongue peeking out between his lips as he carefully considered him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Dorian. And I sincerey mean that." Leaning in closer, he lowered his voice a touch. "Though I'd wager we could make it more of a pleasure if we tried."

Sorry I tried to reply but it got wordy. So because of her mother Nesta was trained and told she would marry to raise up the family’s social status and she received scars as a result of that training. But she also watched her father dote of her sisters knowing that she would not get that affection from him. We see that it was very isolating for her and something she struggles to overcome as an adult( also something she uses to punish herself) but she also is a romance reader. Part of her wants that but knows she can not have it and doesn’t think she deserve it. And while I kind of understand what Cassian was doing after the war his way of interacting with her just enforced those ideas. With her childhood I just felt she wanted someone to choose her sharp edges and all but also felt like she wasn’t worthy of someone choosing her. The lines that really sold me on it being her song were

“ I got cursed like Eve got bitten. Oh is it punishment” her views on being turned.

“Don’t want money just someone who wants my company” she mentions that Eliane never comes to her other then to try and convince her to come back to the river house. And we know Feyre didn’t either. They judged where she spent her time but didn’t spend time with her in places that made her feel comfortable.

“cards in the table my played out likes fools in a fable” we know Nesta Gambled and the literary reference to a fool in love.

“ Still I dream of him” obviously this line feels like it’s about Cassian.

The references to witches and wolves in the bridge that they refer to Nesta as in cannon. Mentions looking unstable and just the desperation to have someone tell you it’s okay. to me the song seems very Nesta after the war when there was probably still hints of hope in her. Before her mind destroyed it.

NOT ME SOBBING OMFG. I DIDNT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT LIKE THAT. OMFG 😭😭♥️ BABY GIRL NESTA WITH THE PROPHECY 😭😭😭💔♥️

I’m in awe of all the details you just went through holy crap!!! I love it!!!! Now I need to listen to this song 500+ times and think about all of this 🥲😭♥️ honestly if Nesta was a TS album, she would be TTPD (the vibes !??!?)

Anyway I know I mentioned how I saw this song connected to Rhys so I wanted to explain my reasoning! Before going forward I don’t remember everything from the series as well as I’m not the biggest fan of Rhys either however he does have moments I really do love him .

With The Prophecy I see it as a long time from when Rhys was younger up until a few months before he met Feyre.

“Hand on the throttle / thought I caught lightning in a bottle / oh, but it’s gone again”

-How his only experience with love had been familiarity and that was all taken away from him in a second. How he settles more or less into being high lord but there’s something missing (or someone one ;)).

“I’ve been on my knees / Change the prophecy / don’t want money / just someone who wants my / company”

-He watched his parents have a loveless bond. And now he’s alone (yes the IC are there however it’s different kind of intimacy that he can’t share with all of them). It could been seen as this how it is for the High Lords of the Night Courts - go through centuries of existing before meeting someone, but is there even someone for you out there, or are you destined to be alone? I think Rhys always wanted to have someone by his side. He had power, money, influence, magic - everything. And yet he didn’t have this one thing. It was the one thing he couldn’t get/find.

“Oh, I still dream of him” (her for Rhys’ case)

-I believe Rhys had dreams/visions of Feyre at some point. I can’t remember how long ago they happened before he met her and how often they were either. But let’s say for my case he did have multiple dreams of her. He dreams of this woman with no real connection to him. Maybe just maybe this woman is meant for something maybe even bigger than him, but he doesn’t know. All he knows ideally is a few physically traits. But she haunts his mind. Would she change his prophecy?

“I’m so afraid I sealed my fate / no sign of soulmates / I’m just a paperweight / in shades of greige”

-UTM when Rhys decides to play into Amarantha’s back pocket. Every year he could’ve lost hope as he waited for Tamlin to break the damn curse. There were no signs of soulmates. He was just a body, a toy, a number to Amarantha. He offered himself to protect the ones he loved but also to try to know her every other move. Near the end of the 49 years he might have believed his fate was sealed. There was very little hope then.

“A lesser woman would’ve lost hope / a greater woman wouldn’t beg”

- Since his birth Rhys has always been tested. He was always meant to be the best version of himself at all times. He was the heir to the night court and then began high lord. He’s supposed to be the greatest. It’s huge burden of an image he has to uphold. He shouldn’t be begging for something that probably his father saw has trivial. Something that we don’t know for sure Rhys felt for anyone before Feyre or even witnessed from a couple in love. But I can imagine he grew lonely, very lonely.

Anyway that’s all I can come up with haha. Like I said not a Rhys girlie so any Rhys girlies who wanna chime in please do! I would love to hear your thoughts and such.

Hopefully this kinda makes sense 😅😅😅

An unpopular opinion about that character he is sadly and tragically very funny

[mercyburned]

With a hum, Nelaros' shoulders hitched in a half-shrug. “Debatable. I think it's probably too late for siblings now... but who's to say if that's better or worse? It's not like the alienages are any better now than they were back then. And with my arm...” He had survived that night by outrageous luck, but it was hard to find work as an elf even in the best of times. With only one usable arm, well... “Anyway, I'm traveling with you now, so that's my focus until this fight is won.”

　　' he can be. at least when he doesn't run headfirst into things. ' among their little group, she had always taken after her mother, the protector of the trio who made sure no one got into trouble. at least, she tried. but the story nelaros told was a familiar one among the alienages. ' is your mother doing better now? '
