Nathan and Ruben share a bond more powerful than most; mutual understanding through past experiences no one should ever have to go through, and through past actions so horrible they cannot be spoken of. Their grief and the blood on their hands binds them to the STEM technology they created, which has alienated them from the rest of the world— but they give each other the comfort they have both longed for so desperately for years, and that is all they need.
They are each other's counterpart; you cannot imagine one without the other, like two sides of the same coin. Through their pain, their grief, their desire, and their regret, they have become one.

isn't it insane how three of endeavor's kids are heroes. and all three of them don't follow his way of going about it. shoto's a conventional hero but he does it through all might's way. he wants to save people. not climb the ranks. fuyumi teaches children so they can learn what's right and wrong. natsuo studies medical welfare so he can help people onsite without the "pro hero,, label. being so normal abt this btw.
BEING REALLY FUCKING NORMAL ABT THIS

Rather than work on any of the projects I've currently got in progress (some languishing for over a year now), I spent the end of last week making two new little books.
Very much inspired by some books I saw in a shop window (next to a $450 copying press) and the replenishing of carrageenan appropriate for marbling (that "food safe" stuff I bought on Amazon did not work). My marbling remains iffy as I continue to try and branch out beyond the inks my Jacquard kit came with, so the consistency of design is weak and the pattern not the one I aspired to. BUT! I really do like the results!
Marbled textblock edges, endpapers, headbands, and cover papers are the "same" pattern for each book, one a blue/purple/white swirl and the other a pale red, red/black splotchy/swirl -- both kissed with a hint of sparkle from the Pearlescent White Liquid Acrylic ink I recently picked up.
MmMMmMmm... I do so love my macro shots of marbling....

I recently learned that the companions in BG3 can get Volo's eye, so now I've acquired the task of determining
a) who would look coolest with the eye
and
b) who is dumb enough and desperate enough to actually sit through the extraction

Epic Free Game (til 26 Dec 2023, 10am ct)
Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the colony. Explore the various planets and locations of Halcyon, including the mysterious Gorgon Asteroid and delightful distilleries of Eridanos. As you encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds. (Includes all dlc.)
(Geeky note: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. This game isn't for everyone but considering that this is free, you should definitely grab it if you're interested. It's made by the people who did Fallout New Vegas (which was not Bethesda) and it's got a quirky sense of humor. While overall I think it's a great game, I think it's real strength is in the character-work for the npcs.)

I look at you and it hurts
My bones are tender, my heart is raw, my soul aches
I waste the day hoping for more time to be with you
To be in your presence,
to feel the warmth of your body when we're close,
to gently brush up against one another unexpectedly.
My bones are tender, my heart is raw, my soul aches
I waste the day imagining a future with you
To be held, and loved, and cherished,
to know what safety truly is when we're alone,
to be intertwined - not just with our bodies, but our souls.
My bones are tender, my heart is raw, my soul aches
I waste the day replaying conversations with you
To be told you'd be lost without me,
to hear such soft and sincere praise when we're laughing,
to wish you'd say more, mean more.
My bones are tender, my heart is raw, my soul aches
I waste the day breaking my own heart, because I'm in love with you.
To be alone, and hopeless, and scared,
to realize this is all one sided after all,
to lose the last bit of hope I held onto and to finally fall apart.
