#Biggest inspirations in my life

[clayberesford-anakinskywalkerfan]

Big congratulations to our amazing, Obi wan Kenobi!!❤️

I got emotional and warm feelings, seeing the two of them together again. I love their friendship, Hayden is so sweet too hehe. They both seem like really amazing, respectful, humble and friendly people. I would love to be able to meet both of them together in person one day. I can always dream lol ❤️

I was 15 years old when I first watched Revenge of the Sith back in 2008.

After watching their amazing performances, I had always been a Star wars fan because of them. Anakin and Obi wan will always be my forever favorite characters❤️.

Star wars has always been a part of my life and has helped me get through some difficult struggles during my childhood. I had always struggled with trying to fit in and it wasn't an easy task to feel like I had to live up to specific social expectations and I also struggled with my mental health and confidence, but I always kept trying and I'm still trying and thriving today. Being able to enjoy these prequels really opened my eyes and taught me about life and helped me grow as a human and understand about the actions of the choices you make in life.

Thank you Ewan and Hayden for continuing to give me hope and light during my worst days ❤️

I hope Hayden will be next to him on the Walk of Fame one day too. I just hope he has the high ground this time though 😂

"Do it scared this, do it stupid that" do it out of SPITE. Do it out of vengeance. Do it out of love. Want to prove others wrong? Do it to prove a point and be victorious. You're your own biggest enemy? Do it to prove YOURSELF wrong. In the end, you're the one to do it, so choose one motivator (or none!), and get out there and DO IT

[eliounora]

most of the time I'm sure I'll never find a relationship but then sometimes I get this idea in my head that maybe there is someone out there for me and it's like WHOA WHOA WHOA. where is this ounce of hope coming from. get it off me

According to the artist, when it was suggested that a smile might benefit the look of the finished portrait, Attaché Nohell reportedly replied, "I thought the purpose of this was to be honest."

Super fun commission of @waterloggedsoliloquy's OC Sicely Nohell (they/them) and their terrible, horrible, no good, very bad lusus figure Commanding Officer.

been reading a stupid amount of (modern) elucien fanfic which made me think about Lucien in a button up and Elain in a sundress which has led to this. Modern elucien ice cream date ? 🤔

My biggest regrets in life are being too damn nice, apologizing when I didn’t do anything wrong, and making unworthy people a priority in my life. Unknown

I started drawing these with the Vash plushie brush as a joke but it’s not a joke anymore because it’s a rly good brush💀

[iclimbtreestofeelalive]

i love you butches. you are so so important to me, we look just alike and i think that makes us cousins. butches have helped me approach my masculinity in ways that feel good and true; the writing that starts "my definition of butch includes chivalry" and ends "i was a little knight by the campfire" gets so much closer to who i am as a person than anything else ive read. i think that instead of defining boundaries between each other, we should get together and sit around campfires and wrestle and trade skills with each other. and i think the world would be better for it

[16star]

how do you manage to draw so quickly and still have it look so nice. tell me your secrets oh great one

!!! Firstly thank you so much! The single biggest thing that's helped me with art is just...Caring less. It sounds a bit counter productive but instead of spending a lot of time fussing over little details, I work on just making it look "good enough" Being looser wit art an only going as far as you need to go to make summat recognizable, rather than fully polished, really goes a long way if you just want to get a project done rather than make your magnum opus. [Which in general helped me a lot, cos i'd always get frustrated when I'd spend a lot of time on a piece an not have it turn out how I wanted. if that makes sense!] And also just a general pro tip that has made drawing people really easy for me [if you're using lineart, does not work if you're rendering them in their entirety] Is i'll do one colour at a time, clip the layer so i can't draw outside what I coloured, an shade each part separately. This way I don't have to very carefully colour in the lines an can just go bam. shading done on this part an keep doing it until the whole girlie is shaded in. This sped up my process a lot.

Hey, what if the Lazarus pits had a flush, author? What if whenever someone used it a fragment of their personality passed down to it, so to prevent it from being absorbed by the next person that uses it, it needs to be flushed? What if when Ra’s took over the pool he did not care for the advice of the the ones before and just used without flushing it? What if every time he used it, it became more and more corrupted by the evil in his soul? What if that’s why the Lazarus pits are the way they are right now?

The Big Flush

Part 1 - FLUSH THE PITS, IDIOTS!

��You’re telling me, not a single person ever noticed the HUGE LEVER sitting RIGHT BESIDE it?!” Marinette screamed, frustrated beyond belief.

“Well, we noticed it, but we never thought to pull it down. Would you, Ladybug, hero of Paris, pull down a lever of unknown origins?” Robin sneered, glaring at the red spotted hero.

“MAYBE! Especially if THERE WERE HUGE LETTERS SPELLING “FLUSH”!” The teenager yelled at them, pointing at the letters on the lever.

“Tt. That is why you needed help to save Paris, imbecile. No one in their right minds would do so except you.” Robin spat, scowling.

“WHATS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?” Marinette screeched, her voice breaking.

“Exactly what I said, you irresponsible fool.” He raised his eyebrow.

“Ugh, YOU!” Marinette took a deep breath, calming herself down. “Alright, fine, you win. But still, do you know the consequences that happen when you don’t flush the huge life-reviving pit?”

“Tt. That is why you are here, buffoon.”

“Just breathe Marinette, just breathe.” She whispered under her breath.

“And what compels you to mention your civilian identity?” Damian side eyed her.

“JUST SHUT UP BIRD-BRAINS!” Marinette’s face turned a deep red with her anger.

“

“AGH! I SWEAR I’LL-” She shook her fists, upset.

“Ladybug. Would you please continue with the explanation?” Batman intervened, attempting to get them back on course.

“You’re lucky, Damian Wayne.” Marinette glanced at the boy, before turning around and smiling at her idol. “Of course Batman sir! So the pits, as you know, reattach departed souls after death, essentially reviving a person. The body will be repaired, as is essential for the reattachment. It’s a side effect, not the main point of the pits. So, to fuel this, a part of the soul, or personality as most would describe it, is taken and left in the liquids. If you use the pits immediately after a person, then the part of the soul that was left will be attached to you. This might not immediately make you go insane, but it will result in slight personality changes. But, if you continue to use the pits after someone, without flushing it, then you will lose any sanity you have. You’ll be distorted in the worst possible ways. Even if you were the only person to use it, the pits will completely change that part of the soul. It’s extremely gross and life changing to not flush the pit.”

“So in layman terms?” Jason popped out, crossing his arms and leaning in.

“In layman terms, the pit is like this giant toilet, and if you don’t flush it, it’ll become really gross.”

“Oh. Okay.” Jason stood there, slightly shocked at the metaphor, before holding in laughter. The pits were just some huge communal toilet!

“Now, please tell me NO ONE has been using this revival toilet?” Marinette stood, looking up at them all.

“Well, uh.” Jason and Damian looked away, refusing to meet her eye.

“Our enemy, the Ra’s has.” Tim interrupted, pointing out the obvious.

“fUCK! Alright dimwits, let’s go meet this “Ra’s. Preferably before he goes insane.”

“Too late-”

Notes: I’ll probably make another part (or even a third!) that’ll go more into how Ra’s corrupted it, but I hope you liked this, @when-no-wings-do-broomsticks! <3

hehehe~

anyway bringing up the sadeian woman and marquis de sade's work in spaces where people wouldn't think of him. specifically why solas is a sadeian woman

solas is such a sadeian woman to me. and of course the first thing for people reading is like "but he's not a woman" and the second would be "the entire essay of the sadeian woman is a collection about pornography and the way de sade saw women" and sure, both things are true, but de sade always likened sex & brutality amongst people that akin to animals. he also preferred writing women more than writing about men.

solas is a direct comparative to justine (from the novel justine or the misfortunes of virtue) because by all accounts, he is always doing what is expected of him by the higher power, yet the narrative intrinsically punishes him for it. justine's acts of virtue stem from being told that is what she is supposed to do (as a woman), the same way solas follows orders because that is what he was brought into the physical world for (as a weapon)

a lot of de sade's work around mother's, martyr's, do gooders comes back around to punishing them. whether mentally, physically, or sexually. the same can be said for all of solas' actions. he betrays his own nature and does what is asked of him and immediately is cast into a physical body he has no wish to have. every choice of "good" that he makes bites him in the face sooner, rather than later. the same way justine is framed for robberies, murders, and rapes, solas is framed and wholly blamed by the narrative for the fall of the elvhenan (and in both the justine literary piece and veilguard we see that it is not the case and in solas' case he shares the blame with the gods but the storytelling would want you to believe different)

it's also interesting because juliette, justine's sister, is favored by the narrative for being a gluttonous, sex crazed killer, and necrophiliac, the same way elven history remembers the evanuris fondly, and spit on fen'harel's name, and the game shifts the blame on solas more often than dishing out an equal amount amongst the players on the board for doing what was, at the time, a morally correct choice (sealing away the tyrants)

another curious thing is the sadeian comparative between solas & mythal. one would think that because she is all-mother that perhaps misogyny & the parallel narrative would hold her to the same standards but no.

the same way justine clings to her sister even when her sister time and time again betrays her, sets her up, and even abandons her to be sexually defiled, solas clings to mythal as one of the good ones, benevolence to speak sense into the minds of tyrants. but she manipulates him and twists him from his purpose, placates him with honeyed words the same way juliette promises justine that all will be good when they reunite with juliette's paramours who hold high political standing.

mythal rips solas from his beloved fade, she coerces him into joining a human body which horrifies him and probably brings a certain form of agony for someone so intrinsically tied and in love with his spirit form, all so she herself can claw her way to godhood. all whilst reaffirming that she is still benevolence, still a peace maker.

and even though mythal dies, she gets to be reborn. she lives on in others, she is rewarded for her greed in a way, whereas solas is sentenced to live with the pain both mentally and physically, he slumbers for centuries and awakes in a foreign world where he is hunted and his people are brutalized, and it is all because of an act he committed, an act that he deemed to be the kind thing, the right thing. because it is what his creator would've wanted.

solas' self flaggelation and deep care is seen as a fault, something that he needs to fix. both by the story and the fans, it is posed as a failing on his part. cares too much, will not abandon his cause for lavellan etc etc. his empathy and kindness is an anchor weighing him down that needs to be extinguished. whereas the evanuris can continue on in their perversions and plagues because they admit their faults, and have rejected virtue wholly, the story relegating them to charicatures of characters (and they kind of do remind me of sadeian men who exist only to brutalize, and hurt, and do not have any narrative purpose aside from defiling and killing, no stakes or history, just one dimensional ideas of harm)

Carmy my sweetest baby boy the thing about a narcissist is that they will never tell you good job it will never be enough. It will always be them having your best interest at heart while they quietly sabotage you. They will nitpick you to death under the guise of improvement but it will never be enough because as long as they cannot exert power over you they will make you think you are less than them because the second you realize you do not need them they will become powerless.
