#Elio deserves better

I love SM and USUM, they are like my second most favorite pokemon game, they bring me so much joy

[santatrina]

parental gallagher is actually insane because what do you mean he's the father figure of a kid that's not only a dream but also resembles his creator .

i believe gallagher is more than capable of separating mikhail from misha and recognizing misha as his own individual but i can't help but imagine that there were moments where it was simply hard not to think of the watchmaker when glancing at misha.

and this gets even sadder because if we really think about it, gallagher spent much much MUCH more time with misha than with mikhail but... the watchmaker's legacy is still so prominent and there's NOTHING gallagher can do despite grief (for mikhail) and love (for misha)

as gallagher himself says, mikhail is gone, but misha was still there.

no one at the hotel acknowledged misha's presence. no one from penacony ever dreamed of him. all he had until the trailblazer arrived was clockie and gallagher, and even if that was insufficient, misha was still an extraordinary kid, an extraordinary friend to everyone who had the pleasure of accompanying him at some point in his... life.

imagine gallagher listening to his wishes and having to go on with his day knowing he'd never be able to fullfil most of them. he would never be able to take misha in any super duper trip. he would never see the day where misha would go trailblazing. never.

People be like: Movie theaters are dying and nothing successful is being made anymore unless it's a remake

People also be like: Let's just release these original (banger) films straight to Netflix to avoid possibly failing on a box office scale (Nimona and KPop Demon Hunters and The Mitchells vs the Machines to name a few)

People also ALSO be like: Let's release totally new film ideas but NOT MARKET IT CORRECTLY AT ALL and then blame it's failure on it's premise and not our shitty jobs putting it out there (I'm lookin' at you Pixar and Elio)

[exsquisiteexistence]

you were a wonderful experience.

You were everything.

halfway through the luofu story on my hsr replay and i really think mc should’ve gotten to be meaner to kafka

[na-na-na-diva]

"they have too much age difference" "it's not a love story" "Oliver doesn't like Elio" "Oliver used Elio" "Elio deserved better" "Oliver is mean, an asshole" etc.

I am sick and tired of hearing the same idiotic comments on cmbyn over and over again . It seems as if it has become fashionable to say this bullshit.

Especially hating the character of Oliver. he is underrated and hated for no reason except because he is played by Armie Hammer. I don't give a shit about the actor, also because Oliver is in the movie, not Armie. That said, Oliver loves Elio, as Elio loves Oliver. As characters they are two completely different worlds. Elio has a family that listens to him and comforts him, while Oliver has a family that gives duties and expectations (like getting married). Elio is less mature and knows himself less than Oliver, Oliver can control his emotions, Elio cannot.

They complement each other. Oliver realizes early on that he has feelings for Elio and tries hard to suppress them because he cannot afford them. His future is already written and he knows it. In fact, he "hides" above the tree looking at the sky to think, or repeatedly turns away from Elio. In the end, he can no longer, because he can't resist what his heart wants. Elio on the other hand always acts on instinct because it is his first homosexual experience for him. Throughout the story Oliver tried to repress himself and Elio tried to understand and discover himself.

Eventually when they go to Bergamo, Oliver is worried from the beginning. He is afraid, a constant fear because he knows he has to leave him in the end. He knows they can't be together. He knows he can't and that he will make Elio suffer. This pain of his is felt, but it always seems that the pain that has the most value is Elio's because he shows it on screen, crying. But it is not only he who is in pain.

In fact, at the end Oliver calls him to tell him that he hasn't forgotten about anything. He will always remember everything he experienced with Elio because it made him feel alive, loved, himself. He hadn't called him earlier because he knew that if he did, he would suffer more, and not only him, Elio as well. Because the greatest pain is when you love that person, that person loves you and you can't see them and have them. You can't.

In the end, however, he could not help but call him to remind Elio, TO HIMSELF that he loves him, that he will love him forever. Elio finally cries in front of the fire all that time not because Oliver "betrayed" him by getting married but because he KNOWS he can't help it. He knows it has to be this way, he knows Oliver loves him and he can't have him. He knows that. And Oliver knows that he had to tell him, he had to make him see reality because yes, that's how it worked in the past. You got married because you had to.

So, it is, in fact, a love story.

Oliver likes Elio. Oliver didn't use Elio, perhaps it was the opposite because Elio “used” Oliver to discover himself.

Elio deserved better, like Oliver. They both deserved better, because they couldn't live their love only for their homosexuality.

Oliver is not mean, is not an asshole.

He's just a underrated character, and I feel bad for him because he's such a complex character, like Elio.

And for the last one, the one with the “age difference problem”. Stop. There is a 7-year age difference. We are not talking about a child with an adult. They are both consenting. There is no violence.

When they had sex for the first time, they both wanted it. After doing it, Elio moves away because he has just discovered himself and is afraid. Oliver even in the movie asks Elio if he had grown tired of him.

There is an age difference like them in a thousand other love stories. Plus when you fall in love with a person, you fall in love not with his age, but with his mind, with his soul. As long as two people consent, I can't see anything wrong.

But so much of these 'critiques' appeared only after the Armie case and since people can't distinguish a factor of reality from a film, they took it up with the film, seeing shit everywhere.

I think it's a revolutionary film, it has helped the queer community a lot. It's a thought-provoking film, about anything. Not only on Elio. Every aspect should be analyzed, but instead people prefer to fixate on the figure of Elio as a “poor victim of a r*pist.”

STOP romanticize Elio ONLY because Timothee Chalamet plays him or because he has the vibe of that type of relatable character who is not understood and who is a victim of the outside world.

People who are like this didn't understand anything and I honestly think it would be better to stop even being called 'fan' of cmbyn.

[mixterglacia]

I want to be expressly clear.

Live Action Remakes are a scourge on the animation scene. They're regularly unwanted, unfaithful, and uninspired.

ESPECIALLY shot for shots. At that point, why in the fresh hell are you making something that does nothing new?

Live action will never, and I truly mean never, be capable of capturing the emotions and visuals of the media they're adapting.

No movie deserves this. Make a sequel, make a prequel, make a non-canon Christmas special, but please don't tell us you're honoring the original with a LARM.

You're grabbing for cash and have no faith in taking risks.

Also, DON'T PAY MONEY FOR THESE THINGS! If you're sick of this trend, why would you not pirate them? Jesus Christ, it's like we have no willpower anymore!

Beyond that, NO movie would work better in live action.

Atlantis needs its style to set our expectations.

Treasure Planet needs its shape language to really push the designs above and beyond.

Hunchback will look lifeless without its colours.

They want you to have low expectations and you're eating it up! Remakes somehow have more merit than LARM's!

Have a little backbone and stop giving them your money! Go see Elio! It's in theaters right now, barely staying afloat! Fuck you if you went to see Lilo and Stitch or HTTYD! You're signaling you want more of this dog shit and I hate you!

Anyways, I'm not the arbiter of what you can do. I just want you to think twice before going to these things. Alright?

[stellar-skyy]

hihi! an iced english breakfast tea with father figure blade?

“iced english breakfast tea here, for... ah, who was it? Oh, of course! Blade!”

☆ — if you're craving a drink, make sure to stop by the teashop!

i. SUMMARY: While on a trip, you receive a letter from a certain Stellaron Hunter. ii. CWS & NOTES: no warnings applicable. PLATONIC blade & gn!reader, brief silver wolf & reader, kafka & reader. father figure!blade. found family fluff. 0.5k words. iii. A/N: hi anon! this request was actually much further in the queue, but i finished it quickly so i thought i might as well post it now.

The letter is penned on bright white paper, covered in small creases that have been smoothed out. The writing on it is small, with some parts crossed out and rewritten, filling the entire page. In the corner is a small series of doodles in purple ink, crude drawings of the three Stellaron Hunters and you. The envelope is beside it with the wax seal broken, smelling faintly of spider lilies.

Inside, it reads:

[Name],

I hope this letter reaches you well, if it reaches you in the first place. I must admit I am skeptical of the effectiveness of the intergalactic postal system, but it isn’t as if there is another way to contact you, aside from tossing the letter into outer space and hoping it finds its way to the planet you are currently on.

I think this is the longest it’s been without seeing you since you were young. It is much too quiet without you around; Silver Wolf has attempted to fill the silence, but I hardly understand what she is talking about half of the time and I do not care to ask. When you return, you will have to inform me what ‘dps’ and ‘maxed out’ means, because I know asking her now will only give me a long-winded spiel about those video games she is obsessed with.

Despite you being gone several weeks now, it’s still been difficult to adjust to having one fewer member of the group. I have been turning the corner, expecting you to be there waiting for me, but I am constantly finding myself alone. Kafka tells me it’s the mother hen instincts, but she doesn’t know what she is talking about.

Silver Wolf has been asking about you non-stop, telling me she wants her Player Two back. She made me play with her for a bit, but according to her, I’m so terrible at the games that it isn’t even fun to beat me. I’m not sure what she means, she beats you all the time anyway, but when I told her that she just rolled her eyes.

Kafka misses you too, though she’s at least got enough emotional maturity to admit that out loud instead of sulking. When she found out I was writing this letter, she made me promise to tell you she can’t wait to see you again, and you’d better be taking care of yourself. I think she feels the same as I do, even as she teases me for it. Things just aren’t the same with one less person.

I know you’re wondering about me, but I’ll keep it short—I’m fine. My condition is no better than you last saw me, but it is no worse either. You don’t have to worry, and I mean that with honesty.

I trust you are using this well-deserved break to its fullest, taking in the sights and not causing any excess trouble. Elio doesn’t allow vacations very often—it’s a wonder he approved this one, with all the missions he’s sent us on lately—so make sure you take advantage of it. If you are in a tough situation, you only need to remember what Kafka and I have taught you: hit them fast and hard, and don’t leave any witnesses.

Be safe. I’ll see you soon.

Blade

reblogs and comments are appreciated! ♡

whenever i start further developing a character i always like to do a pose mashup or different actions! it helps me get a better feel of them for future actual artworks more often they are silly doodles in my notebooks but yuanjun deserves a full on colored digital (ft elio - i need to train drawing him too)

Blade/reader fan fic

Note 1: don't expect good quality, wrote this mostly for myself. Note 2: self indulgent, written in first person because I genuinely couldn't formulate it in third person (I tried and failed, only the first paragraph is in 3rd person). A little bit of comfort??? I can't tell.

Amount of words: a lot, may contain misspellings or typos I didn't notice.

Background for the story, just so it can make more sense: reader and Blade aren't on very good terms but previously had many✨romantic✨ encounters. Also, reader is a little bit jealous on Kafka but knows it's just an insecurity which is why it's not mentioned a lot.

About me here (might be useful)

Many years have passed and you still haven't changed in better. You're still the same cheap copy of a human that's not healed or hasn't done anything to get better. How do you define being better? What is better? What is normal?

Sitting in the bed, laying down, I think of who I am and I don't have the answer. For how long haven't I slept? Or eaten properly? Am I hungry or I'm craving…? No. I can't have that. Being desired doesn't mean that I'm loved. Yet I'm not even desired, I'm just a plan B. But by continuing to walk through this thought I will dive deeper into my misery.

There's someone behind my door, standing there. They'll leave. The door should be locked, unless it's him. We exchanged keys just to make it easier when leaving, I was scared that someone will get into my place if the door wasn't locked all the time, which is why I was scared that it could be him that was behind my door right now.

I don't want him near me. He'll tell me to get up, that this should be my last problem, unfortunately I failed and this became my biggest problem, that there's no reason to stay miserable. Only metaphorically, somehow I found comfort in washing my body. No matter how much I wanted to be shown love… I didn't want him to see me like this. I didn't want to give him another occasion to bring me down to another kind of misery. I didn't deserve to be lov-… . I had to run away from them, I will tell only Elio why I will leave, I'll hurt the others if I keep staying.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. I look directly in the direction of the hand and see Blade.

Was I angry that he was there? Disappointed in myself for not pushing through my problems, for not being strong enough? He shouldn't see me like this.

His hand moved to my face and I moved my head back a little, until I had no choice but to let him put his palm on my cheek. I closed my eyes. I didn't know to tell him to leave. Now both of his hands were on my face, pushing me towards him. The mattress moved a little and I knew he sat on the bed.

Slowly, gently, he grabbed me and put me on his thighs, holding me up. “Why are you here?” I whisper as I let my head rest on his shoulder.

“You disappeared.” He said.

His left hand went to my head, through my hair. He leaned his head down to look at me. “When was the last time you changed your pillowcase?” He stayed like that for a few more seconds before speaking again. “I'll change them.”

He let me down on the bed before walking to one of the drawers I had in my room. He looked in it and got whatever he wished for, then changed the pillowcases. He went back to me, this time forcing me to get up and walk to the bathroom. Moving my hair from my face the best he could, he tried to wash my face. “You can't bring a dirty face to a clean pillowcase.” He whispered.

Well, he tried to wash my face, all I let him do was put my akin care products on my face. “How do you know-” I started to ask.

“I watched you do this.”

“How sweet of you.” My sarcasm was easy to notice. But I still didn't understand why he cared about me right now. He didn't care about me in general. No matter how much I tried to make myself likeable to him so he wouldn't shove remarks and unasked opinions at me.

“What do you want to eat?”

“I'm not hungry.”

“I can tell you're starving.”

“Your flesh is sufficient.” I

To my surprise, he pushes up his sleeve and moves his arm up for me to feast on. “I was joking.” I say, almost disgusted.

“Didn't you say my blood is good?”

“I didn't mean to-” I start to explain.

“Go on. You know-” He interrupted me.

“Same. You forgot that.”

“Starvation isn't the answer.” he murmured.

"I know that.” I looked at his hand. Fairly enough, it was a good looking arm, but not worth destroying. I walked past him and went to my kitchen to look in my cupboards and fridge. He followed me.

“Come with me. You have nothing in here. I'll cook for you something.” he spoke in my ear as he held me in a hug from behind.

“Don't bother.” I whisper. I didn't want his pity or help, I knew he wanted me to be in a good mental a d physical state just to fuck me. “I won't give you what you want.” I whisper.

He didn't move. “Let me help you for once, at least.”

“Don't waste your time.” Fuck with her, you don't hate her.

I felt how he shook his head before kissing my temple. “I missed you.”

“You missed my body.” I almost screamed.

“I missed YOU.” he didn't scream, only accentuated the word. “I realised that I was horrible to you, for no reason.” he hugged me tighter. “Let me prove that you deserve love and care. I might be late, but let me take care of you before you think of leaving.”

“Y'all don't need me.” I whisper to myself. I wasn't important in any script, so why shouldn't I leave?

“We do, I do. Let me do this, please.”

Happy pride month to elio, my closeted gay best friend Bucky Barnes, buck and Bucky from MOTA, Captain america, iron man, art and Patrick, and to anyone else who chose the die alternative in the option “is it better to speak or to die?” My heart goes out to you and I wish you could’ve spoke about your thoughts and desires cause only god knew you deserved it.

FINALLY - SEC GEN SILLY SQUAD

Started this months ago and never fucking finished it until now. Anywho, here are the sillies and their kiddos some ten(ish) years or so after Mt. Tantiss.

They are my babies and I absolutely adore them. I had a love/hate relationship with coming up with their outfits. I'm the worst when it comes to designing outfits, but it was fun implementing the wave motif of the Pabu citizen's clothing into some of them :)

Anyways, without further ado, the silly squad families and a few things about them! Feel free to ask questions or anything about any of them :D

Guardians Family: The Yuns

Later down the line, Hunter and Jung get (platonically) married and are the last to do so within the squad

Before that, they adopt Mox and Sami into their family - with Mox taking after Hunter and Sami becoming a sort of padawan for Jung

After getting married, they adopt Huihana who was orphaned after her parents were sadly lost at sea

Huihana is half human and half Mirialan - with her name meaning "lily/lotus" in Māori and 'Hana' meaning "one" in Korean

Mox gets the Pantoran clan tattoos to match with Sami and Sami adds on some extra tattoos in honor of Jung

Hunter and Jung do emotionally adopt a lot of the kiddos around the island though and will usually have a duckling trail following them around

Jung starts to find his voice again and he takes it upon himself to help out and train any of the Force sensitive kiddos on Pabu

Hunter also becomes something of a teacher as well but more so with life/combat skills until Huihana comes into the picture and he becomes content with being a stay at home dad

Occasionally Mox will go with Omega to do Rebellion work every now and then, but he prefers staying and helping out where he can on Pabu

The kids call Hunter "Dad" and Jung "Seon"

Scompscope Family: The Cossas

Third of the squad to get married - as soon as they're able to take a break from Rebellion stuff they decide better late than never and that they deserve something nice like that

But before that, they unofficially adopt Deke after Echo takes him under his wing and Deke helps them out with Rebellion stuff

Later on, Viram and Echo have Tikan and Zisanu who aren't old enough to help out yet but want to

Rex is their godfather that they jokingly call "Grandpa" - Echo finds this hilarious, Rex does not

The boys are also known as "Dee," "Tee," and "Zee"

Tika[n] means 'Heavy' in Tsonga while Zisanu means 'Five' in Chichewa in honor of Hevy and Fives

Echo and Viram still do Rebellion work here and there whenever Rex needs them, but after awhile Viram starts to stay on Pabu a little more to spend time with her boys and eventually Echo does the same

Then on Pabu, Viram does work at the clinic while Echo helps were he can and still aids the Rebellion, albeit remotely

In his place though, Deke joins the rebellion and comes back every now and then with his cousins

The kids call Echo "Dad" and Viram "Ma"

Starburst Family: The Nultezes

Wrecker and Khea are the first to get married and spontaneously do so literally like a month or two after Tantiss

Itri is a Foundling that Khea adopted prior to reuniting with Wrecker on Pabu and also decides to adopt Stak as a Foundling as well (Look, having a clone and a Mandalorian as parents just means you're going to have a shitton of kids both human and furbabies)

Itri means route/way in Latin and also meaning "star" in Tamazight; which fits the star/starpaths/way motifs that stem from Khea's background

Marama and Maia are twins and Elio is the (current) youngest

Maia meaning "brave/confident" in Māori, Marama means "moon/bright" in Māori, while Elio means "sun" from Greek roots

They essentially run a little farm on the island with all of the pets they've adopted and their kids love to garden as well

Khea and Wrecker also run a little auto shop on the side and fix up things around Pabu to keep busy

Their home essentially becomes a sanctuary within the sanctuary that is Pabu; they welcome anyone and everyone and always have good food and a place to stay at their place

Stak helps out with the Rebellion alongside his cousins and Itri wants to do the same, though she's not quite old enough yet

The kids call Wrecker "Pa/Buir" and Khea "Buir/Amá"

TechPhee Family: The Genoas

Second of the squad to get married - after Tech recovers from everything, Phee makes sure that he doesn't get away from her again

Shortly after they have Vela (farsighted) and then Rangi (nearsighted)

Vela means "viligant/watchful" but it's also the name of a constellation taken directly from the Latin word for the sail of a ship (which is fitting considering Phee is a pirate and Tech and her are both phenomenal pilots)

Rangi means "Sky/heavens" in Māori (again, fitting that pilot thing)

Rangi is HEAVILY inspired by Mutant Mayhem Donnie and I would totally have Micah Abbey voice him as a voice claim

Vela absolutely loves cartography and topography while Rangi is a big fan of entomology and riot racing

They mostly live out of Phee's ship and call it home, but they do have a place to stay on Pabu whenever they visit

They're always bringing back cool stories and souvenirs from their travels for all their nieces and nephews/cousins

They're a family to be reckoned with, these kids are the best parts of their parents all mixed into one - their only weakness is losing their glasses and even then it's a momentary set back

Phee is still a liberator of ancient wonders, but now they more so help out with the Rebellion

The kids call Tech "Dad" and Phee "Mom/Ma"

Sharpshooter Family: The Marrs

Second to last of the squad to get married because Tay was taking too long to ask so Crosshair asked for him

Also they take a LONG time to adjust to a civilian life they're both reeling with the trauma of what they'd endured and the feeling of finally being free from "the machine"

Last ones to adopt though because Tay was always wary about kids but didn't have a choice when Crosshair came back one day with Akona-Mae after helping Echo out with a mission

Akona is a hybrid; she's half Nautolan and half Pantoran and was adopted when she was around 2 years old

The "Mae" part of her name comes from "May"Day in honor of the Commander while Akona means "to enthuse" in Māori

Akona is non verbal, she loves to bite, and her dads are both super protective of her while spoiling her rotten

Ignore the fact that she's a six-year old with a tattoo - her dad is Crosshair, okay?

Speaking of tattoo, she gets the usual "clan tattoo" that the Pantorans have to match Crosshair and Tay gets something similar as well

They're a family of fishermen with a place close by the shore/docks - Tay and Akona are both amphibious races so they really enjoy living on Pabu

Rarely, Akona will call Crosshair "Pa" and Tay "Apá" verbally but usually when she's addressing them she'll tap her tattoo for Crosshair and tug at her front two tendrils for Tay

To be completely honest with you, these are probably not the final drafts. I have an oc who is involved in Jung's story that I may or may not add to his family (depending on whether or not I kill off that character) and I've been slowly liking the idea of Wrecker and Khea being in a poly relationship with another OC but I haven't finalized a design for him, so until then it's just the two of them for now. Later on I'll probably add him to the family once I figure out what he looks like :)

Day 13 - Socialization Day

Goooood morning, everyone! Sorry for the rude awakening again; the plane almost blew up again thanks to Avery (IN) this time! 😜

No worries, Avery (and the plane) are ok and Elio (IN) and Estrello (IN) made sure to provide their moral support so Avery could feel better.

There was a lot of video-sharing happening on the plane today! Raylan (OD) had a good laugh with Nite (OD), and Elio, predictably, wanted to socialize with new-kid-on-the-block Carson (IN). Alanna (IN) and Avery were also interacting positively again, so I think it's safe to say that the little rift they had in Windenburg is behind them now ☺️

However, most significantly, Marilyn (OD) and Touma (OD) are becoming fast friends. With Minato now gone, these two may now be turning to each other to bounce back from the loss of their friend and ally... And we all know Marilyn needs to form bonds if she's gonna survive in this new team!

Later, Team Integrity all gathered in first class for an awesome hang-out party! It's Carson's first time in first class, so he's having an absolute BLAST! Matteo (IN), of course, could be found dancing away to METAL music. This sweet boy deserves it for doing so well in the last challenge!

At the game table, Estrello and Alanna challenged each other to a game of Don't Wake the Llama! Alanna was pretty confident in her skills, but Estrello was extra careful... Makes sense, because since he's a long-time fan of TDS, he would have seen Season 1's Don't Wake the Llama tournament! Is he being careful in case he will need to play this game for a challenge?

In the end, Alanna was a bit too confident, making Estrello the winner!

Despite Tomiko's sour mood from the fire this morning, she did very well socializing today! She talked with Raylan and Marilyn (again), which is perfect since they are now on the same team! Marilyn too was agitated from this morning's fire, and so she and Tomiko spent some time complaining about it together 😵‍💫

And last but not least, before going to bed, Raylan and Ziggy had some buddy time, with Raylan telling Ziggy a dramatic story!

Today's Confessional: Raylan K. Rodriguez

"I realized that I haven't been doing the best job at talking with my teammates, so now that there's only 2 teams and we've already had to vote someone out, I wanna do better at socializing. I hadn't talked to Tomiko that much before, she's pretty reserved, but I saw her interacting with Marilyn too, so maybe she also wants to socialize more. If that's the case, I wanna see if maybe I can become friends with her."

"If not, there's always Ziggy, who I need to hang out more with too. He's pretty awesome and we have a lot in common."
