Vincent and the turtles of course but Thomas and the birds..

The bird in the cage behind him as he looks at Agnes' computer, the birdsong filtering through the Sistine Chapel as he finally finds the name he's been looking for.

If Vincent is the turtle, slow but steadfast, clever, representing transformation, healing, always a little bit in its shell, now always in the Vatican because leaving would mean danger, then maybe Thomas is the bird.

Thomas as an unhappy caged bird, barely eating, plucking at its feathers, hardly singing anymore because maybe it doesn't know how to anymore. Thomas as a crow, maybe, or a magpie. He can appreciate the finer things in life, after all, he's clever, observant, always seeking things out even when he wishes he wouldn't.

When it's all said and done and the window is open again, he could fly away, if he wanted. He could leave, he could go anywhere he wants. Maybe he will, maybe he won't, maybe he'll stay of his own accord, perched on a new shoulder.

All this to say that sometimes when Vincent and Thomas visit the turtle ponds, Thomas will feed the turtles and Vincent will leave a handful of seed and nuts for the hooded crows. And in return they'll leave a pile of little goodies for him, buttons, lost paperclips, occasionally a euro (Vincent always puts these in the alms), and all sorts of little things. Incidentally, Thomas will come over for meals from time to time and will sometimes leave Vincent with a trinket from Rome or Ostia or England or wherever he flies to that Vincent can't.

They make it work, Thomas is often found just at Vincent's shoulder.

Something I like about Leo is that he’s honestly really chill? It’s easy to remember the moments where he’s being obnoxious or excitable but I feel like most of the time he’s incredibly “go with the flow” and has an overall affable demeanor.

had a fun talk with my roommate about how art that comes from a place of sincerity is meaningful and important and "good" even if it's not technically pristine or profound. which is not a new idea but is def reassuring. if you're putting your whole self into what you create, it's gonna be good even if it's not "good"

he's not a writer but he is a reader and his main gripe was feeling like books getting overedited to be more marketable means he's not reading the story that was meant to be told. sure it might be "cleaner" and more palatable to a wider audience but how much can you water down authenticity before it just becomes water, u feel me?

what im trying to say is, tell the story you wanna tell. not new advice but still good advice

Hi, I read your fic where Tails is wearing a Sonic hoodie and loved it! It's sweet how much they care about each other

I am curious, how do you think it would go if Sonic found Tails wearing a Shadow hoodie?

hihii!

on a surface level i don't think sonic would care much. sure he'd tease and poke at tails for it but that's just his right as a big brother

but a bit deeper i think sonic would just be happy tails has a family more than anything. aosth shows us the main thing he wants to give tails is a family that loves him, and i think he'd love to see that tails has that family now even if it does include his rival

I just need every single person in this fandom who has ever been mean about Luke Newton to know that Nicola Coughlan hates you. Genuinely and wholeheartedly.

She hates you. Sure, she won't say it aloud, because she's a professional who knows her career lives or dies by fans, but please know that she does. She hates you if you've said Colin gave you the ick, especially so if you said it to Luke, she hates you if you've left a rude comment on his social media, she hates you if you acted like she didn't like him or that she was shading him, she hates you if you bullied the people around him, she hates you if you said something disparaging about how he looks or how he acts, she. hates. you.

And sure, it's not all people who are in her or Pen's fanbase, in fact a lot of people have been cruel about him outside of the Polin fandom, but a LOT of people are Pen fans, and hearing her talking about how defensive she gets over him when people say something rude about him? And knowing there are SO many stupid opinion blogs and youtubers and tiktokers who say they're Pen fans and Nicola fans but are mean as fuck about Luke?

I need every single one of them, in particular those who have been out here making up stupid shit to be mad at him about 'on her behalf' to know that when you say something mean about the man she gushed to her Mum about, and who her Mum was so excited to meet because she just knew he was kind, the man she introduced to her entire family, the man she is always reaching for and hugging and snuggling up to and calling wonderful and giggling around and saying how she wouldn't want to do such vulnerable intimate scenes without and complimenting and leaning on and having fun with and calling a special person in her life, she is taking off her earrings and ready to meet you outside in his honor

because she hates you for being a dick about him. hope that clears things up

do u think when Marc meets little kids (all decked out in gear to support him 🥺) he thinks of his little kid self and how much love and devotion HE had. Turns the whole thing into something just as lovely and pure as he possibly can because he recognises how important stuff like that is. waaah.

[mochi-kitty]

I wish they talked about this more

That’s all.. (except the tags lol)

There are many Venti fans that believe he will receive a second part to his story quest when Dornman Port releases and while I understand that, plus understand the need for him to have a second story quest, I believe it does a great disservice to him when there is already content in the game, with specifically Mondstadt, that has not been expanded on in any way, shape or form that could have already been used as potential grounds for a second story quest.

Another argument is that Venti is only "end game content" as in he will only be relevant when the Traveler reaches Khaenri'ah to learn the truth about what happened during the Cataclysm, and yes, that could be the case but it would be detrimental if hoyo was to wait that long not only for him, but for the other Archons as well.

You'll remember that the game is pushing the narrative to us, the players, that the Archons are directly responsible for the Cataclysm and are only showing us Khaenri'ah's side of the story. There's even a red herring that the Traveler seeks to ask specifically Venti and Zhongli about the fall of Khaenri'ah while in the same breath, talks about the battles the Archon faced to defend their nations and the wounds that still linger 500 years later, but no Archon directly tells the Traveler their side of the story, the Traveler has not went back to previous nations to ask, which leads to so many unanswered questions.

I'd like to go back first and explain why I do not think Venti's second story quest will release with Dornman Port (and if it does, it'll be a miracle and I'll come back to this) and it is because it seems too trivial to release an important part of an Archon's story with a small area, especially a port. That, and the current trend with Archons' story quests (save Furina) is that they have a boss, and vital pieces of information are found out before that boss is fought. There's the argument that Andrius and Dvalin are the two bosses already (Andrius was the "second world boss for Mondstadt" already) and it's unlikely that there would be a third Mondstadt boss, but why would that be? Mondstadt is the first nation we visit. Perhaps later trends in how story quests and it's related bosses work came after.

Don't get me wrong, I would love a Mondstadt expansion, but I doubt a Dornman Port release would answer all of the many other plotpoints unexplored as well as other questions that remain unsolved. I'm sure we'd get a nice World Quest, as these new World Quests are very good, or subtle lore drops like the random release of Perinheri, but that's about it and after that we would all be left disappointed.

I've already went over potential plotpoints that would be far better, such as why Durin's heart still beats at Dragonspine, why the Abyss Order was/is mostly active at Mondstadt, the presence of Istaroth, why hoyo is literally doing nothing with Albedo (to be fair, a lore drop for Albedo could just be behind a second story quest for him which he deserves), and Grand Master Varka's expedition, plus so, so much more including the Mare Jivari (which is what I speculate will be important when Natlan releases) and even Old Mondstadt. All of which could have been already explored in a second story quest for Venti, but we're left having to speculate when it will release.

Sometimes I read the books that the internet is going feral over and I'm just like "take my hand babygirl I can show you the world."

We can do better baby. I can get you a better version of this.

wait what's up w tara if i may be nosy

[flashhwing]

i always think it's funny when people are like "i don't get how anyone could dislike this character!" and then go on about how well written they are. like okay. so they are a well written character that i don't like. what now?
