#I love up north

My grandmother told me a story about her Aunt Orphia whose man went out to get cigarettes and never came back for her,
My cousin’s inbred cat slinked around on its three good paws, hopping when the clubbed one was supposed to step,
And I thought about my distant cousin who had a baby girl with an extra finger attached to her thumb.

there’s something so special to me about the casual intimacy (both physical and emotional) of the stark family. robb carrying bran to his horse. bran holding robb’s hand to comfort him. jon ruffling arya’s hair and pushing her around and her laughing and pushing him right back. ned hugging sansa and arya in front of the entire king’s court. they’re always thinking about each other and missing each other. the kids cry and fight and play and are kids, and ned and catelyn are kind to one another, and it’s beautiful. it’s so warm, so human, in contrast with the coldness of other familial relationships in the book.
#something here about how those from the frozen north are the best and kindest to each other#while those from the summery south have deeply messed up family dynamics#the imagery there…#i love them.#asoiaf#got#house stark#ned stark#catelyn stark#jon snow#robb stark#arya stark#sansa stark#bran stark#fae speaks#i read a chapter on my lunch break and got emotional over the stark babies :(

One Piece modern day au where Law unintentionally made Sanji re-evaluate his feelings for Zoro because he assumed they're together like he would rant about how their boyfriends caused trouble in town because of an extremely valid reason but the execution could cause them to be arrested and Sanji would go yeah Luffy does shit like that come on Law you've been dating the guy for two years and you bailed him out 15 times you should get used to it--pause--wait what do you mean boyfriends and Law is like isn't Zoro your boyfriend and Sanji goes through several stages of confusion and denial.
#one piece#one piece headcanon#zosan#lawlu#zoro#luffy#law#sanji#law knew the shit he signed up for when dating luffy and complaining is lowkey is coping mechanism lmao#he love the guy okay#his sunshine#alright I just love when law calls luffy sunshine#in contrast to sanji calling zoro marimo or any plant-related nickname#also a firm believer of north blue boys being a sucker for personalized nicknames#mochiajclayne.txt

Cool down doodle from last night. I think the greatest tragedy with older!Clover is they probably grow to about 6'1. But because their family is mostly giant monsters, they assume they're short.
#undertale yellow#uty#clover#north star#uty starlo#dalv#uty dalv#uty clover#Lucky Clover AU#I should probably make that its own tag but I kind of want a more creative name for it. Hm.#Yes I HC that Clover ends up taller than Dalv. He's a 5'2 short king struggling with his tall friends.#the cowboy hat draws#Also I'm so flattered about the love this design + AU received thank you guys!#I'll get to drawing for those asks as soon as I can

If Simon gets shot in Stratford Tower, he can be calmed down (shown with his yellow LED) by Markus being the one to check on him and help him up. If Josh does it, his LED stays red for the rest of the chapter. The yellow LED changes to red if he gets shot again.
I made some of these gifs in other sizes. You can find them on the Simon page of my GIf Archive.

what draws you back to your country what draws you back to your land when i was a kid i told myself if i ever left iran i'd never go back 2 years into living in the UK i started looking at news on iran again 10 years in and i visited it for the first time again and today i heard an iranian mother talk in farsi to her child on the train to london the way my mother used to and i wanted to cry i wanted to ask her whether they're still cutting the mountaintops whether the lakes are still drying today i showed the person i was with pictures of waterfalls and palaces and forests and snow-white north something odd pulls me back with increasing force i can't ignore it ever again
#i just dont know how else to tell you everything !!! santoor from a different room the large family gathering the black tea with saffron#drank out of delicate glass and gold vessels cold marble on hot nights big stars big rivers big mountains#visible from busy tehran roads the ease of conversation tension eased by sarcasm tall tall cliffsides you drive by#rushing to put on headscarves before the head teacher comes in a rave by the base of damavand massive sun pastel purple skies#disjunct architecture trucks on road sides with fresh fruits pomegranates watermelons oranges everywhere#the smell of golpar on tangerines beautiful girls in tehran holding hands bautiful boys in kermanshah speaking kurdish the janky#cars on the verge of breakdown held together by love caspian sea lighting up in spring staying up into the morning on noruz#my friends uncle sang and played setar his son played the violin a little fear a lot of love remnants of something#grand carved into the cliffside everything feels bigger taller the landscape swallows you it smells like#illegally imported wine and orange blossoms and auntie's tahchin soaking your eyes in warm tea when youre sick#tomatoes and salt concrete and stone something mandmade and something raw new flag old resilience#the anger getting to us bruised eyes big grin all i know is the north i feel sorry my mother asks if id be okay#if they got a place in tajikistan we love each other enough dont we? when we look in the mirror we see each other. theres a love letter#across the border and it says I MISS YOU IM GLAD YOURE DOING BETTER itll never be the same im not okay with it at all there are no more#stars i miss jumping over big fires i miss our fireworks im sorry we cant be happy anymore everyone#leaves the mint and rosewater and sunlight for a reason.#it's not pride it's just generational regret

Got an itch to play Sunless Sea again and it's always such an odd experience because. Like.
I know this game. Any other game, the level if knowledge and research I have put into this would make me a confident fucking master. And yet.
I can be reading text I've read dozens of times before and i still feel...not clueless, but absolutely off the mark. It all feels so familiar and yet I've never seen a victory condition. I've at least started pretty much every storyline but I'll still see something new each time I sink some time into it. I have a fucking JOURNAL of TRADE ROUTES and REQUIRED ITEMS and somehow that's only mildly helpful
That and the fact Fallen London's lore is so fucking batshit and honestly kind of hard to research (thr wiki's are frustratingly structured for me and the browser game is just. A bit inaccessible for me) means I can have a pretty solid understanding of what's going on in each port and what each faction is about and still ZERO FUCKING GRASP ON LITERALLY ANY PLOT
#to be clear! this is a big part of why i enjoy it#like...imo fallen london is kind of a perfect cosmic horror setting#bc you can learn everything there is to know and so much remains somewhat inscrutable#leaves me hungry for information which is a little frustrating but still enjoyable#also its so slow paced? so youre really left to juat kinda. stew in the atmosphere#anyway if anyones super familiar with it and wants to give me tips id love to talk about it asfgjgjf#im still trying to build up money early game#juat finished the salt lions and it seems the khanate has spawned on the fucking furthest north eastern corner#so i need to fucking find it so i can run the sun trade for a bit#sunless sea#also forgot you only get the sub unlocked in one playthrough so i gotta do that again#but tbh the unterzee stuff is what i know least about. ive done stuff here and there but not finished anything#i need to know what the deal is with the nook#also that fucking spider TERRIFIES me even tho its never caught me

I felt like it was time to come out of my cave and draw some Rise of the Guardians fanart for the first time in nearly 4 years, but of course I had to make it a redraw of something I did 9 years ago.
It felt so cathartic and good getting to drawing some RotG again, and it brought me back to that place in my life when I was absolutely obsessed with this movie (and universe).
Its also nice to see how far I've come with my art in the last 9 years. I'm very proud of myself, and I'm finally making the quality kind of art that I desperately wanted to be making 9 years ago but I just wasn't at that skill level yet (if 20 year old me could see me now!)
I still adore this ship to the moon and back, though. Who knows, maybe I'll draw some more! Even if I don't, this was so much fun to do! I tried to make the redraw look more "vintage" and referenced some vintage Christmas cards for the look. I also did my own little spin on Pitch (I really wish they incorporated some sort of gold into his design like they did with some of the concept art, so I gave him an earring and pointy ears. Artistic interpretation and all that).
Extra:
(first time drawing North in 10 years, not counting the little cartoony guy in the original, so go easy on me)
#art#fanart#rotg#rise of the guardians#Jack frost#jack frost rotg#jack frost rise of the guardians#North#north rotg#north rise of the guardians#Pitch Black#Pitch Black rotg#blackice#blackice rotg#Posting fanart for a fandom that is long dead by now#its okay#I'm giving it to the cemetery of the people who still love rotg#I would have drawn the others like in the original#but I am running out of time and work and am busy up until Christmas#so just North it is#rotg fanart#Nicholas st.
