Thereâs something horrifyingly beautiful about Tessâs final moments. In the midst of the most dire chaos, as she waits for her death to come rushing past so she can blow it sky high and give cordyceps a big fuck you one last time, one of the infected stops. It looks at her, really looks. Her own mortality is personified in this infected. Itâs death thatâs looking at her, and it sees her. She looks her own death in the eye, and the suspense is so high as it approaches. But then, it doesnât bite her throat out like we all expect it to.
It kisses her. Whatâs more, it kisses her gently. And I think it was a brilliant choice on the writers part, because it reminded me that the infected arenât supposed to be evil. Sure, theyâre scary as hell, but really, theyâre just trying to survive. Theyâre connected to one another, they can feel each other from miles away. They seek out and want to be close to their own kind, just like the human survivors do. And when they do find each other, they kiss hello.
And after so long apart from a loved one, someone you know and trust with every instinct in your body, wouldnât you want to kiss them too?
#okay thatâs enough posting for the night but Iâm sure Iâll have more dumb little thoughtâs tomorrow#I still wanted to talk about how Tess letâs it kiss her in her final moments. Like itâs one last intimate moment she lets herself have#before she dies. but thatâs a post for another time#something something recognizing yourself in the other something something transitioning from one family to the next through death something#something.#anyway rip tess#anna torv i love you you slayed#tlou#tlou hbo#tess tlou#joel miller#ellie tlou#tlou spoilers#the last of us#tw body horror#just in case#Iâd also like to bring up that this is an interpretation. obviously the kiss was for shock factor. iâm just having fun analyzing it

There is something about Pedros eyes as Joel that has me on the floor, throughout the series there are alot of microexpressions he does but this damn contrast makes my heart ache.
He goes from disbelief to shock to completely shutting down when Sarah dies, there is so much pain in those eyes it makes your heart clench, it's in the way Joel keeps hugging Sarah harder as to transfer his own life into hers by pure will,
Then you have the hospital and you see no light behind those eyes, you can just feel the pure rage and agony. Him walking slower and slower and you can just feel his heart drop, and the wires come lose in his head and then there is one mission, save Ellie. His eyes man....
#I am biased cause I love the man#actually I only started knowing him from tlou#so how biased am i#anyways#i love his acting#and he nails it#i sometimes see things#like comments especially on tiktok about the casting of tlou#about both pedro and bella#and it ticks me off#i block them but still#i actually wanna show full on appreciation for both versions#cause i fucking love the game#tlou 1#no tlou 2 that shit doesnt exist for my mental health#joel miller#the last of us#tlou#pedro pascal#joel and ellie#joel and sarah

đđ NSFW 18+
loser bestfriend ellie who all of a sudden turns into loser/sub top ellie after fucking you for the first time with the strap on she found in your closet.
sheâs so fucking obsessed with the way you look when you bounce on her hips, nails tearing at her freckled skin as you string out the most beautiful sounds she thinks sheâs ever heard anyone make in her entire life. her mouth drops open and she freezes as you fall into her, still trying to comprehend the whole thing as your face is buried in her neck, whimpering and gasping for your breath.
her hands tremble as they come up to wrap around you, long fingers tracing patterns into your skin in an attempt to calm you down.
she canât fathom how needy you are or how you paw at her biceps in an attempt to get her to move her hips because you âfeel so emptyâ. she canât fathom the obsession you have of her that grows days after, constantly pressing against her or trying to get her alone or trying to be in her arms. she canât fathom any of it except the part where she knows sheâs fucking loving it.

Prompt 131
Okay, so first of all Dan would like to say itâs not his fault. Ellie was the one to bring some unknown object into the speeder and Jazz was the one driving. Or had Sam been driving- didnât matter! It wasnât his fault, he wasnât the one shooting at them, he wasnât the one to break whatever, he was not the one to open a stupid portal, and so it wasnât his fault!Â
So why is he now like, five years old, and why is the speeder crashed in some sort of corn field. Why is everyone- except for Jazz whose now like six- also like three at most?! And- oh fuck the door just opened and⌠okay thatâs a kid. Like, nine at most.Â
A kid and an adult, who he hadnât noticed at first so again, itâs not his fault if he hissed at them and tried to hide his not-siblings behind him. Itâs also not fair theyâre apparently stuck to ghost speak for who knows how long, but at least they can understand the people.Â
âMartha, get some blankets, itâs happened again!âÂ
#dcxdp#dpxdc#prompts#What is up with the Kents cornfield that a spaceship with alien children has crashed there twice#Clark: Omg am I an older brother now??

the way in which ellie williams needs to bury herself inside you, no matter if her dick is fakeâeighteen plus interactions only please ââşââ
the need in her core is beyond strong, and it throbs so good. sometime in the middle of fucking you, she found herself too desperate to continue in her selfless pleasuring. she began to piston her hips so far that her tummy presses the back of your thighs and the strap is buried to the hilt, tip kissing your cervix. fucking heavenly, the base rubs at her aching clit and she sighs at the feeling.
"shh, just stay right there," ellie mumbles, eyes squeezing shut. she's got you folded in half, practically, your head caged between her elbows. horny, crazed delusion tells her she can feel your cunt gripping her cock, but it's the friction on her clit making her this way. slow, steady, and completely selfishly, she grinds against your overstimulated body and pants like a goddamn dog in your ear.
and don't you dare try to squirm away, put some ease on your trembling hips, because ellie's response is one of urgency. her eyes snap open and her body goes limp. she lies on you to keep you right where she needs you, and beg you to let her have this.
"please baby, fuck, don't go, where're you going? stop. please."
it's so good she's drooling, blown out pupils studying your face and the way her sweat drips onto you. she can barely hear you moan over the sound of her own voice, which has grown loud and strained. and she'll cum while whimpering a stream of apologies for using you to get herself off in such a pathetic way.
anyway i love her so much ummgdhkhgkgfkj  ૮ ŕžŕ˝˛ â â á

More Clone^2 or just Damian Clone Au because these two have my heart rn.
ââââ
âAsmi Danyal.â Damian says.
âAsm- asmi Danyal.â Danny repeats.
There is a sharp jab to his leg.
Danny thinks this means heâs winning, and he grins goofily.
(Heâs not, he did the pronunciation wrong. He has to say it again.)
Where he is, is his room. Itâs nearing midnight, and him and Damian have been sitting in his room for the last three hours.
He has books about learning arabic sprawled at his feet, from beginnerâs books to advanced, he got whatever he could get his hands on that would teach him Arabic.
And Damian, little Damian who has finally taken it upon himself to settle down over these last few months, has decided that he doesnât really like the way Danny is teaching himself.
âYour pronunciation is bad.â He told him through the translator Danny downloaded onto his phone. And then he sat down onto the ground and pointed at the floor and said ââArdia.â
And then wouldnât stop until Danny said it in a way that he liked. He moved on to the next object. And then the next, and then the next. And so this has been their dynamic for the last two weeks. Theyâre finally moving on to proper sentences.
(Itâs not fool-proof, and thatâs why Danny still has his books. Damian doesnât know every word, and knowing words doesnât mean he knows how to string them together into a sentence.)
(But never let it be said that Danny is not a quick learner when he sets his heart to something.)
âAsmi Danyal.â Damian says.
âAsmi Danyal.â Danny repeats.
(âMy name is Daniel.â)
Damian nods, satisfied and sated. He points to himself, puffed up like a peacock showing off its feathers. âAsmi Damyan Alghul.â He says, ââAna abn aldam.â
(Thereâs a flicker of uncertainty on Damianâs face, a slump in his shoulders that exists for only a millisecond. Itâs a look on Damianâs face that Danny sees on his own whenever he looks in the mirror.)
(A question of identity, an âI thinkâ - am I really who I say I am? Doubt comes in with fickle tongue.)
Danny - much to his own surprise - is able to piece together the second half of his sentence on his own. Itâs slow, assigning words to translation, but he learns it.
(âMy name is Damian Al Ghul. I am the blood son.â)
The blood son - he can only assume he means the blood son of Bruce Wayne, of course. He shares the same face as the very public figureâs youngest boy.
And Danny shares the face of the youngest boyâs father.
And much like him, this Damian was younger than the original, thirteen year old one. Much younger.
âMarhaban Damian.â Danny says, a sly smile creeping up his face. âAsmi Danyal Fenton ââ his eyes glance to one of his books, a list of greetings going down the page. He finds one heâs looking for. âTasharafna.â
(âHello Damian, my name is Daniel Fenton. Itâs nice to meet you.â)
(Heâd hold out his hand in a customary, playful handshake, but his palms still sting and hurt from his last encounter with Damianâs blade. Heâs got them half curled at his side, unmoving as much as possible.)
Danny got the last pronunciation wrong, much to his amused delight. Damianâs face darkens and his smug expression falls away into a scowl.
ââAnt aldajaalu, wanha âtasharafna.â
(âYou are the imposter, and itâs âtasharafnaâ.â)
And so here they go again.
#dpxdc#dp x dc#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc crossover#dpdc crossover#dp x dc au#dpdc#dpxdc au#danny fenton is not the ghost king#clone^2#danny fenton is a clone#damian wayne is a clone#i love these two an unholy amount#dannyâs injured hands are now canon to the clone^2 au#to me at least#whats it mean to know that your hands are permanently damaged from the very same boy youâre determined to love?#whats it mean to know that youâd do it again if given the chance?#if loving the boy forever meant your hands wonât work the same as before#and you still choose to do it#anyways dannyâs protective older brother energy he has for ellie#also extends to damian#i used google translate for the arabic sorry for any errors#im trying to give danny more âolder brotherâ vibes than parent vibes

Genuinely tweaking because itâs 4 in the morning rn and Iâve been drawing this all day, literally the second I was free I was drawing.
AND IT TOOK ME 6 HOURS WHATTT
So as some of you know Iâm a big fan of a FanFiction made by @theellipelli and itâs epic and great and itâs yanqing and Jing yuan and time travel and family issues GO READ IT IM GREAT AT PROMOTING THIS HAHAH.
So like⌠I didnât read the new chapter and Iâm scared to do so BECAUSE WHAT DO YOU MEAN TW DEATH??? STOP.. I better not cry
Anyway so I had the idea on what the idea was but I didnât know how to make it right so I ended up with this, hereâs the starter sketch with colour
Now MEGA TRANSFORM RENDER BOOM WOW heheh thank you thank youđđđđ
If you canât tell Baiheng is drunk and in my head she should be kept at least 5 miles away from any person when sheâs drunk
Jinglius hand looks weird but look at yanqing he looks great #neverdoingmysondirty
The atrocious hand grip on yanqing head I head to learn how to draw hand can someone teach me
Ik itâs really hard to tell whatâs going on with df and yingxing but I wanted to fit all the quintet in (they are just whispering to each other which is pretty much âbro can we please leaveâ ânahâ) Df is so circle Iâm sorry idk what happened Iâm tweaking again
Sorry that jy, yq and baiheng look so much better than everyone else thatâs the difference between start vs finish
And if anyone is out there â6 hours for that?? Man you got to be jokingâ well Uhm actually Iâm a very slow artist
I think I spent the smallest time on yingxing
But I think I spent at least like an hour on the sketch sigh can I get a pat on the back
ALSO DRAWING THEM WAS SO HARD BECAUSE OF THE SMALL AMOUNT OF REFERENCES I HAD..
I wanted to do cloud night Jing yuan but the design was different from the fic one so I had to live of that one art the author of the fanfic did (go check out her tumblr tagged her above sheâs great support her on every platform possible or youâll die)
Anyway ik not a lot of people are reading this but I would like to thank art Jesus, art God and BeyoncĂŠ for giving me the motivation to finish this in one day
Uhm thatâs the end make sure to support the author love you all bye,!
Scared to post this second thoughts are gonna be the end of me
#I love this fanfic btw#heart heart kisses kisses idk#all hail author elli#call me a glazer but I see no flaws#anyway dear elli if you see this then I hope you like it#I hope you donât cry again tho aww#do you remember how I said I would do a proper drawing#but then I did that magazine cover and was too lazy for the digital art?#so this is my comeback era#art#artists on tumblr#digital art#my art#hsr#honkai star rail#yanqing#Jing yuan#jingliu#baiheng#dan feng#yingxing#hsr yanqing#hsr jing yuan#hsr jingliu#hsr Dan feng#hsr baiheng#hsr yingxing#hsr fanfic#hsr fanart#fanart

carcar the last of us au snippet
warnings: past character death, descriptions of the infected, descriptions of use of weapons and violence
What Carlos wants to say, in a way fashioned entirely after his father: That grave is about as deep as it needs to be. No one has the luxury to mourn. Stop fucking around and move on or die standing still.
What he actually says: âDo you need help?â
âNo,â Oscar says, curt. âI should be the one to lay him to rest.â
âOkay,â Carlos says.
Maybe itâll help Oscar, and Carlos shouldnât begrudge him that. Help him avoid the scenario in which every infected thereafter shared facial characteristics with Charles. Max. A pretty mouth, a strong jaw. Itâs his fault, after all. Carlos should have taken the time to bury all of that under the dirt. But all he could do was run.
Thereâs an almost relaxing rhythmic sound to the ground being hacked up, and a different kind of tanginess to the smell of fresh earth that lets him forget about blood for a moment.
He could be kind, sit at the foot of the grave and listen to Oscar talk about Logan. Why he thought coming back to where they grew up was a good idea. All these good ideas crumbling to dust, at every town they've witnessed that has eaten itself from the inside out.
Carlos closes his eyes. He doesnât quite know what to do with another faceless loss, canât add another number to his collection.
And anyway, Oscar's seen his fair share. Heâs too good with the shovel for this to be his first.
Carlos clears his throat, when Oscar's finally done placing some leafy branch at the head of the grave. Flowers. On a grave. Thatâs some doe-eyed rose-tinted bullshit. Thereâs a strangled bird, caged somewhere to the left of Carlosâ chest. He doesnât allow that bird any food or warmth or hope, for fear of softness. Canât be soft if you want to survive. Â
âWe should move,â he says.
âWe?â Oscar reels his head up. The loss carving its way down his cheeks havenât fully dried, but he looks hopeful, almost like a lost dog. With how Carlos acts, he probably hadn't expected an offer like this. It should've been cut and dry. Getting you to your city, in exchange for a car battery.
âItâs a simple question,â Carlos says. âAre you coming?â
If he wasnât already fucked all ways to Sunday, making his way along this forsaken earth with two rounds of ammunition and less than a quart tank of gas left, heâs definitely fucked now, adding a bleeding heart to their journey. But Carlos imagines Charlesâ face if he were to leave a kid behind andâdamn him for that. For being a ghost and still demanding good of him.
âYes,â Oscar says.
Arguments and energy spent on arguments should be saved for the important things. Carlos throws whatâs left of their shit into the back of the trunk, and wordlessly, gets into the driverâs seat.
--
âIâm just saying.â Oscarâs insistent. Heâs spent the first half an hour of the journey staring vacantly out the window, but apparently, country musicâs where he draws the line. âIf for some reason this car caught on fireââ
âDonât you even dare,â Carlos says. The thought of losing the Sienna makes him want to shrivel up and die. With luck, they managed to jack a vehicle with a working CD player. Tunes are a necessity in what is essentially a never-ending road trip. âI donât want to think about it.â
âIf it did,â Oscar says, âand I only had time to save one albumââ
âZach Bryan,â Carlos says.
âNo,â Oscar says flatly.
âDios mio. I should have left you back there.â
âYou nearly did,â Oscar points out, but it doesnât sound accusing. At Carlosâ furtive glance, he shrugs. âNo hard feelings. I know what youâre doing.â
âYeah?â Carlos doesnât like the sound of that, gets his back all up. Ten and two on the wheel, lest he reaches for Oscarâs shirt to shake him until his teeth rattle. âWhat am I doing?â
âSelf-defense,â Oscar says.
âI really should have left you.â
âI didnât mean that in a bad way.â Seemingly chastised, Oscar digs his teeth into his lower lip. Charles used to do that too, before he acquired the ability to unhinge his jaw and take larger bites. âYou look out for your own, right?â
Carlos wonders if Oscar can see his trauma for what it is. The way Carlos has been tuned toward Oscar in the passenger seat, as if an infected would crash through the windscreen at any second. The way heâd swerve right, driverâs seat to the road, without a second thought, if it meant his neck would be exposed instead of Oscarâs.
Heâs got nothing to offer but his own body.
âIâm doing such a great job of it.â
âMate,â Oscar says warily. If he could hedgehog his way any further into the carâs upholstery, he would be so far back heâd be invisible by now. Zach croons in the staticky background, There ainât no world in which I am good for you. Ainât no world, now or ever. âI wasnât saying you werenât.â
âNo, really,â Carlos says, a little hysterically, âIâm doing such a great jobââ
--
There were things in the world that should not have applied to Charles. Spend upwards of two months to four years with him and youâd start to imagine that his fingernails never got dirty, or that his smile never got ugly, or that his face never got bloodied.
But he turned like everyone else.
His skin bleached itself until every single vein was visible, and his eyes lost all recognition. He could still speak, for the first bit. Said their names in what was almost a parody. Cahlos. Cahhhlos.
âWe have to,â Max couldnât finish his sentence, though he kept trying. âWe have toââ
Charles lunged for them like a rabid animal. They cringed, but the tire chains wound around Charles hold fast, and he shrunk back. Before lunging again, and again. If Carlos were a better man, heâd put Charles out of his misery. Too bad he was a big fucking coward.
âDonât,â Carlos hissed, absolutely feral, when Max squared his shoulders and took a step forward. âDonât touch him.â
Maxâs chest rose and fall in rapid succession. His eyes were glassy and hollow. Max, who Carlos had never seen shed a tear once, who they all joked would survive them all. He looked a gentle tap away from breaking. âThis isnât about our stupid feelings, itâs about what Charles would have wanted.â
âFuck you,â Carlos said, to nobody in particular. To maybe himself. Charles was his responsibility when they went on the raid for food, and Charles was still his responsibility now. Till the end. Heâd shown Carlos the bite on his calf, almost guiltily, and remained docile and quiet when Carlos wrapped him in chains, while Carlos breathed through what was most definitely a panic attack.
Easy, Carlos. Youâve got to care of Max now. Easy, come on, breathe Carlos. It doesnât hurt much, not now anyway. Just. Do me a favour. Make it quick, alright?
Cahhhhlos.
âIâll take care of it,â Carlos said, because all of this was his fault. In the chaos at the grocery store, he got separated from Charles for a harrowing two and half minutes. That was all it took. âJust. Just give me a moment. Just give me a second, alright?â
Charles snarled, snapping his teeth against the metal biting into his skin. This couldnât be how Carlos remembered him.
âIâll do it in the morning,âCarlos promised. Iâll do it after sunrise, so he gets to see it one last time.
In the morning, this is what he found:
Charles, chest cavity open, lying still like he was peacefully asleep.
And Max, bleeding out from a bite wound in his forearm, the gun used to lay Charles to rest tucked at his feet. His skin was paper white, but his eyes were still bright.
âI fucked up,â Max said. It was the way he said it. Completely accepting and calm. It made Carlos drop to his knees and hack out the nothing he had left in his stomach. Bile burned his throat raw. âI thought I could do it, so you wouldnât have to. Sorry.â
Carlos trembled, pushed his forehead into the ground. The entire world was bearing down on him like a magnifying glass on an ant. He didnât want to look up. If he didnât look up, then this didnât have to be real.
âCarlos,â Max said, more gently than Carlos had ever heard him. By some magnetic, supernatural force, it lifted Carlosâ head from the dirt. Max had enough in him to kick the gun over to Carlos, and life in him yet for the corner of his mouth to twitch up. âYou can do it.â
Carlos shook his head mutely.
The expression on Maxâs face morphed into something unfamiliar. Pleading. It would carry itself into Carlosâ nightmares and every single infected running after him after. âYou can. Just donât fuck it up this time.â
--
âIâm,â Oscar says. He sounds heartbroken for people he doesnât even know. âIâm sorry about your friends.â
âYou didnât know,â Carlos says. He never should have said anything. Maybe itâs the kid, snapping, I should be the one to do it. Mirrors are a relic of the past, but Carlos looks at Oscar and sees the same jagged stubbornness lining all his edges. âIâm sorry about Logan.â
They pass the rest of the drive in silence.
