I did it again! Redrew a panel from @lesbomaticlove ‘s comic because the facial expressions GET ME EVERY TIME HOLY FUCK

Sanji finally made it to the “unashamedly horny on main” stage of the grieving process, I’m so happy for him!

somebody hold me tight my gempearl people we are in the trenches i dont know what's worse the fact that pearl thought that gem and her stil had an unspoken alliance for wild life because they did it for secret life and that’s their thing (they trust each other until the end) but they DON’T or the fact that sl!gem genuinely loved pearl so much that what happened in the finale was a big betrayal for her and it hurt her so much that she feels like she can’t trust pearl now in wild life (and also how she is so bent on making friends and being on the good side of most because, well, she's been betrayed before right?)

gem is already on edge and will lash out at anyone that even tries to take, approach weirdly or do anything to her or joel but pearl doesn’t understand the importance of what they had in secret life held for gem. for gem the bridge of what they had was burnt alongside the sunflower field and it was burnt by pearl. for pearl the bridge was never burnt, it only carries the ashes of the field.

it’s the fact that despite all the bitterness and rage and anger brewing inside her, gem can't help but show a bit of concern when pearl tells her that she's had a rough day.

the layers of miscommunication between them are so many i need them to TALK and FIX this before something else happens.

does NOT help that Pearl’s minor slip up at the end of the cobblestone wall interaction indirectly fuelled more of Gem’s paranoia/scepticism for Impulse + Pearl, because her “well now I don’t know who to try this on, everyone else are allies” meant that she ONLY viewed Gem and Joel as enemies. which. isn’t the case. she just meant people who are neutral to her. because Pearl where did you get allies from you’ve been dying down in the mines and eating your own sword (/lh). but OF COURSE Gem would view that as them being enemies now. hey. you know what this miscommunication reminds me of. this lil minecraft series on youtube called Double-

narratively this is so. this is awesome man. i want to see how this resolves so bad.

“Darkhold” Hanging Plot Thread

I used to think the “dark magic” Agatha had supposedly been studying when Evanora tried to have her executed was the Darkhold—perhaps to try and learn how to control her succubus powers, which I do believe she couldn’t control in the beginning (much like Wanda and Billy at first). Now, it seems like there’s no way that timing can be true, for several reasons.

It’s unclear if Rio and Agatha continued some toxic version of their relationship while Agatha was on her post-Nicky killing spree, but Rio said the Darkhold had hidden Agatha from her—and they were in genuine love for quite a while after Agatha’s Salem trial (at least up until Nicky’s birth).

Evanora believed Agatha was “evil from the moment [she] left [her] body,” so it probably wasn’t anything Agatha had done that prompted the attempted execution.

She clearly didn’t trade Nicky for the Darkhold… “No, Billy. Sometimes, boys just die.”

It seems like the “horrible truth” she couldn’t face was that even after Nicky died and she didn’t have to protect him anymore (feeding Death those bodies to stave off his demise), she kept using Nicky and her song to kill all those witches.

In WandaVision, when Billy and Tommy ask Wanda to bring Sparky back to life, it’s clearer than ever that Agatha is there investigating the Scarlet Witch because she wants to use her rumored power to actually do spontaneous creation—when she made Nicky “from scratch,” she had to keep feeding him bodies/souls to stave off his Death, but Wanda actually can best Death and has powers of creation that don’t require an equivalent exchange.

I feel like there are a couple fairly plausible explanations.

Agatha found the Darkhold and it led her to Wanda—which could mean she acquired it fairly recently. (This would be an interesting twist that opens it up for Rio & Agatha to have continued being in contact for those hundreds of years, even if toxically, and would assert her serial witch killing really was out of grief/a substance abuse metaphor. I think this is actually more likely, or else she may have found an ancestor of the Scarlet Witch, and it’s unclear if that’s a thing in the MCU—the degree to which Wanda was created by the Mind Stone vs. inheriting her powers matrilineally as a kind of Blood Witch, like Alice & as in Scarlet Witch comics.)

Going off this “Book of the Damned” motif— Agatha got it sometime after Nicky’s death, and it promised her Nicky’s resurrection in exchange for the souls of the witches she killed, i.e. damning them. (This would potentially mean she hasn’t seen Rio in a much longer time, strengthen the Darkhold/drugs metaphor MoM lightly explored, and assert it could have been corrupting her for decades—but I honestly believe it’s less likely.)

I don’t know what the magic was that Agatha was sniffing around in when Evanora tried to have her killed, but I’m almost sure it wasn’t the Darkhold, now—or if it was, she had the Darkhold briefly and then lost it for a good while. But regardless, it seems that she—like Wanda—was trying to use it to get her kid back, one way or another (by feeding it or by using it to find Wanda). And as Rio said…

“It seems like there’s a story there.

Wip - fairy wings portion

First wing done. Buttonhole stitch was a meeeeessss most of the way through 😭 after doing the other wings I did cave and redo the worst of it

Much better on the first long wing. Bc I’m using mouliné floss I don’t love how the backstitch doesn’t lie very flat without pulling tight, which would then probably overstretch the organza

So for the large wing I did Holbein stitch instead, which kind of turned into semi-split Holbein, where I make sure I pierce through the previous thread when going up or down into a previous stitch. That seemed to make for a straighter line, too. Idk if it’s just this thread and fabric combo but doing regular backstitch makes the stitches seem a little wobbly even though I’m going through the exact same hole

A couple days later I finished stitching the wings For the second small wing I used I think a size 3 needle for at least the buttonhole edging, which turned out nice. Not very tenable though bc I can barely fit even a single strand of the mouline through the eye without that tail end frazzling quickly

Was p nervous about removing the stabilizer since this fabric is so delicate. No problems from the outside, but the inside was trickier. I did a bunch of stuff to try to make it come out easier than it did on the small wing up top in this pic…

I took a sewing needle and gently poked along the stitch lines just to get through the stabilizer but not the fabric. Then I used that needle near the edging to start a tear and switched to tweezers to carefully pull it away. But I also used cuticle / hangnail clippers to cut away along the inner stitching so that I wouldn’t be yanking on those. Took a bit, and I think there are still tiny bits of stabilizer stuck between the buttonhole but it’s not noticeable enough for me to care after working on this for like 5 hours straight today

I cut out the short wings but I’m so nervous that the organza is going to break off, so I painted the raw edges with clear nail polish lol. For the big wings, I put some fabric glue on the back side all along where I’ll be cutting so that hopefully that will keep the fabric from fraying once I cut it. I’m leaving that for tomorrow bc by that point it had been 6 hours of working on it and obvi the glue needs to set

After that it’ll be pompom cutting, shaping, and “dyeing” and then assembly :x

Saw it on tik tok so I’ll take it with a grain of salt but if radioapple becomes canon, I’m not watching anymore.

Jayce how could you fumble a baddie this badly

I mean I’m obsessed with crash landing on you because it’s like if a hallmark movie was good and that is fascinating to my brain and healing to my heart.

[thatgirl4815]

With every day that passes, I am this 🤏 much closer to deluding myself into believing we will get the apartment fight next episode and everything to follow will be smooth sailing.

[stolenkissesdiaz]

just know if the scene at the end of 8x06 with buck and eddie doesn’t even MENTION the will or how buck tried to dig through mud with his bare hands for eddie…my crashout will be historic.

If Ace turns out to be the culprit I will have a complete and utter breakdown
