tbh I think Calypso views herself as Odysseus's rest and reward. like, she's the comfort in a hurt/comfort fic. she's the therapy saga. and honestly, a lot of her actions make sense when you look at it like that.

Odysseus is traumatised and scared and hurting. and she understands that. she's so understanding that she doesn't take it personally when he yells or screams or begs -- trauma makes it hard to regulate emotions, after all. he'll calm down in a little bit.

she's so understanding that she's not even hurt when he rejects her advances. he's been alone for so long that he's scared of intimacy now. but she doesn't let that discourage her. he'll get used to the idea eventually.

she's so understanding that she doesn't give up on him, even when he talks and talks and talks about his wife and son. obviously he wants to go back to them, but what he wants isn't what's good for him. that's fine, he doesn't need to know what's good for him yet. that's what she's for.

she's so understanding that she doesn't even let it upset her too much when Ody stands too close to the edge and stares out at sea below like its calling to him. it's okay. she can catch him if he falls.

sure, they're relationship isn't what she's dreamed about for centuries -- real relationships never are that perfect. her Ody has a lot of healing to do. and she'll make sure she's with him through it all.

zoro who is so caught off guard by sanji’s kinder actions towards him is one of my favorite tropes. sanji crafting him specialized post workout snacks personally adjusted for him but still down to fight and call him names. he’s still the biggest asshole zoro has ever had the displeasure of knowing, and he’s horribly considerate. he’s a little confused but doesn’t reject any of sanji’s specialized treats. it’s not like sanji is fawning and doting over him like he does nami, so zoro feels like he can cross off sanji actually liking him from his list of reasons as to why sanji is acting like this. but it’s still fucking strange..

meanwhile sanji is in his kitchen wondering how zoro hasn’t taken a damn hint yet

hear me out. high ranking fatui harbinger reader who's known for being cold and closed off that absolutely hates childe, who finds him annoying and thinks he's bad at his job. then one day reader just happens upon foul legacy in a secluded area and immediately adores the abyssal moth, completely unaware that it literally shares a body with childe. sorry if i worded this weirdly😅

OH YESSSSS, Harbinger reader is ALWAYS a plus!!!!

before you met Tartaglia, or Childe, as his codename was, you could safely say that you never HATED any of your coworkers. bored and often irritated by, yes, especially by those like Dottore or Pantalone, but never hatred... before you met Tartaglia. BEFORE. now your streak was unfortunately broken, every encounter with the Eleventh Harbinger filled with bickering and sarcastic comments from both you and him- you swear the other Harbingers are placing bets on who breaks first, but you can't help it! he's just so annoying, always caring more about getting into fights than actually doing his diplomatic work. the only bright side is that he often gets injured and has to stay in the medical wing, giving you a few blissfully quiet, free days before returning to pester you more, much to your dismay

thank the Archons that something else comes along to brighten your already-tedious days a little, an odd creature lurking in the rooms of the Headquarters. no one else seemed alarm by it- either that, or they didn't know- and when you had first come across the towering Abyssal monster it had tilted its head with a soft chirp, tentatively creeping closer before bumping against your outstretched hands. with none of your coworkers nearby, you had smiled as bright as the stars, giving the peculiar beast headpats and scritches behind the twin horns on its head as it purrs and nuzzles happily into your touch, eventually flopping over and snuggling its head into your lap. you return the next evening, and the next, and the next, and the monster is always there, waiting just for you

Foul Legacy has to prevent himself from chittering with delight when he hears your laugh for the first time, sees the smile of the person he and Childe have been pining for, in love with your quick wit and skill on the battlefield. Childe, on the other hand, is muttering curse words in the back of his head- HE wants your pats and smiles as well!!

went to bed and woke up in a cold sweat realizing that claudia's play, the birdie one, is both a direct analogy for her story and also foreshadowing of her death WHILE ALSO nodding to pauls death

claudia'a single minded, desperate drive for freedom eventually lead her directly to her death. she was "nailed down" by lestat (by LOUIS, actually- lestat only kept her for him.), and tore herself free at the loss of her 'foot,' being a stand in for the personal pain she suffered for freedom

no matter what she or anyone did, she was going to die painfully, because she was so desperate to be free that everything was suffocating. lestat, louis, romania, the coven. the only thing that didnt rot in her mind was madeline, because... there simply wasnt time. madeline was fresh and new and, given time, would have probably suffered the same heel-turn claudia gave to everything.

of course thats because she shared louis' hopeful outlook. being free of her parents? would fix everything. when it didn't? maybe if she had louis, it would be worth it. but its not, lestats still here, louis is still in love with him... killing lestat, thatll fix it, and she and louis will be happy in romania, right, the homeland for vampirekind? not quite, so better try paris, the city of love. that doesnt work. the coven, though, will give her what she wants, right? she'll be happy with other vampires?

the only person who makes her happy is? a modern version of lestat? a weird white woman she met on happenstance, who has little to no care for societal norms or faux pas. a blunt, kind of funny, kind of sad woman who lost her family but has a capacity for enduring because what else is she going to do? die? no, she cant do that. she had no friends because she was weird and offputting and had dangerous rumors, no hangups on loving claudia, no hangups on dying or being a killer.

that's... just lestat. without the immortality and the specific traumas, of course, but like. claudia's most beloved person was a funhouse mirror of her most hated. which really speaks volumes for what they could have had, because it wasnt just a clash of personalities. it was lestats bpd clashing with hers and both of their attachment to louis clashing. if lestat had been better at sharing, if louis had been better at loving both of them, if claudia had been less angry at the world for nothing but existing? maybe they could have been a good family. a happy one forever, just like they all wanted, but were unable to give each other

also like. i am extremely freaked out by the last 48 hours. i also have a tunnel vision attitude toward my life right now. there's this near guilt at putting my head down but at the same time i am literally days away from giving birth there is only so much one person can worry and i gotta focus

Ayda is honestly iconic for establishing an order of knights to deliver a letter to her girlfriend/paramour across time but also for ending her letter with like six hugs and kisses

I drew another Chara- living with the Dreemurrs edition

"The King and Queen treated the human child as their own. The underground was filled with hope."

I don't like this as much as the last one but oh well... I ended up rambling a huge amount in the tag, so if you want details and headcanons about the actual drawing again, you'll have to look pretty far down this time, sorry (Also, I ran out of tags after a while. Tumblr is tired of me, lol. I might reblog this more tags later if I remember what I was going to say.)

I love jj so much like he calls Plawan out on his bs but will still help him at any opportunity and he will clap back at methas for being a rich butthead but the SECOND jj finds out that he’s completely alone in the world he’s like “not on my watch” like COME ON

"I'll do what you can't, you do what I can't" should be Sanji and Usopp's wedding vows. It should be engraved on their rings. It should be repeated back and forth from one to the other until they're old and gray and neither of them can remember who said it first. It's the perfect summary of their relationship and in this essay I will

@dufrau asked for a snippet of my ronance smut WIP

“I—” Nancy opens her mouth, then closes it. “I—”

“Okay, so right now I’m not convinced you’d be actually able to slap anyone around during sex. I mean, maybe Steve, but he’s a slut so I don’t think that counts.”

It’s bratty, but it works. Nancy looks at her sharply, and when she speaks, her voice is several notches lower. “Are you sure you want to try me on this?”

Robin shrugs. “Not like you’ve got anything to bring, right?”

Nancy’s fingers slide up the back of Robin’s shirt, hot against the skin of her back. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to do.”

“Oh? What do you think I’m trying to do?”

“I think you’ve been begging me to touch you like this since you showed up wearing this slutty little t-shirt.” And then, the hands move forward to Robin’s chest and pinch her nipples hard.

She lets out a sound that might be a whine, and Nancy laughs.

“Is that all it takes? A little public fondling, and you’re practically humping my leg?”

Nancy loosens her fingers, no longer pinching but rolling the nipples between them, and yeah, Robin does kind of want to start humping her leg, actually. She wants to do a lot of things, like drop to her knees and wait for some kind of instructions or maybe put Nancy’s fingers in her mouth next, but she’s also aware that, while they are not the only people getting dangerously close to public sex on the dance floor, they definitely have gotten dangerously close to public sex on the dance floor.

Okay soo hc idea, who’s more easily jealous and who’s more insecure? (this idea was inspired by the childe angst post)

I too feel like childe doesnt get easily jealous but i cant say the same about FL, maybe its natural instincts?

and for insecurity, i cant tell which of them would be more insecure; i think childe to be an overthinker, so he’s insecure on things like not being good enough maybe, but if FL was insecure it seems it could be on the fact that since childe and him dont completely share consciousness, he’s afraid to throw you off as a monster because of his unapproachable form.

*cracks knuckles* oh buddy do i have an answer for you

for starters, Childe is the more jealous one, but neither of them get extremely jealous, does that make sense? they're both more protective than they are possessive, it's just that when comparing them Childe does get jealous more easily than Foul Legacy does. it's mostly because of insecurity, the nagging feeling in his mind whenever he sees someone you're close with- you deserve so much better than him, you should be with someone who can be by your side and keep you safe all the time, instead of a danger-seeking Harbinger like himself. it makes him feel sick with nerves and envy, and eventually he seeks you out and stubbornly wraps his arms around your waist so he can hold you before he worries himself into a tizzy

Foul Legacy, however, is incredibly insecure at the beginning. you know he's a monster, right? a dreaded creature that clawed his way out of the Abyss, right? that he shouldn't even be here, let alone sharing a mortal's body, right?? are you sure you're not staying because you pity him, or because you just love Childe? it gets to the point where one night you sit him down on your bed, take a deep breath, and give him a long, tender lecture on how you're not going anywhere and that you love both him AND Childe. needless to say he's in tears by the end of it, burying his face in your shoulder with a choked whine. it's not like his insecurity vanishes overnight after that, but it becomes more manageable over time <33

Colin: Guess who just found out the difference between wax paper and parchment paper the hard way?

Penelope: Wait, what’s the difference?

Colin: One you can use in the oven safely, and the other you can also use in the oven... if the thing you are trying to make happens to be fire.
