#She very much has her own life now

[fantastic-mr-corvid]

thinking about how Muro, Conficcare and Tesoro dying really hammers in the whole "you made your choice to leave, and you can never come back" theme for Elena. She doesn't give a rats arse about Napoli as a city, but about the people there. She saw it as something she wanted to return to in her darkest dreams because she wanted to go back to them being kids, to having someone who knew all the pieces that made her, without her having to be vulnerable and try and fail to explain it.

And the first time she goes back properly, to the streets she walked and bled on as a child, since she left, since she took that golden ticket out, Its because those people are dead. Those kids died long ago, hell she was there, but the what survived? what lived on, carrying the traces of who used to be her friends?

She can only find traces of them in faces she barely knows, find Celias curls in Cecios hair, a certain swagger in Ramettas walk, a voice, an accent, an inflection, made foreign to her. The grief of facing how much her friends changed robbed of her, all she can do is wonder who they became, and find out through stories and records, but not from those people themselves, not anymore.

She made her choice, but only after the funerals does she realize just how much it cost.

Wild how we know that Elizabeth Woodville was officially appointed to royal councils in her own right during her husband’s reign and fortified the Tower of London in preparation of a siege while 8-months pregnant and had forces gathering at Westminster “in the queen’s name” in 1483 – only for NONE of these things to be even included, let alone explored, in the vast majority of scholarship and historical novels involving her.

Culture Shock

[First] Prev <–-> Next

[ganondoodle]

so with echoes of wisdom .. i havent watched any of the trailers beyond the very first one and the thumbnails/screenshots and what others have said about it-

but with the world inside the rift being called "Welt des Nichts" aka "world of nothing/void" in german ('still' in english, for some reason) and demises title in french being "avatar of nothing" ... yeah my anxiety is shooting through the roof again

(hopefully you can be a little more forgiving for me being anxious/weird about it bc demise is my blorbo)

i had similar worries with totk, that werent proven true thankfully, but the darn book is making it all worse again with all those weird lore things the game doesnt even so much as hint at AND potential retcons- im in for a really rough time huh, not just stress in real life (more in tags.. its alot) but now about my specific hyperfixation from two things even (AND artblock still..)

weird as it may sound, i dont want demise to get more lore, partly bc i dont believe theyd do anything with him that i would like (given their track record) but much more importantly- the fact that he has this little lore about him is precisely one of the reasons why i fell in love with him, i tend to like characters that are neglected by the narrative, and his story being both so flat and already done meant i can be very creative with what i come up with for him without necessarily contradicting anything in canon (which is ... or was a big point of how i wrote destiny's story and lore, working with canon in a way that reframes it all without straight up ignoring it ... but i suppose i urgently need to let go of that and accept i spend alot of time working things that will go to waste :( ) AND not having to worry that there will be more stuff with him that would massively change not only what im writing but also potentially how i feel about him since the game he was briefly in was the oldest chronologically and ended with his death- i didnt expect them to mess with anything that far back and thought theyd just go forward and leave the timeline behind and wouldnt mess with it again, given how botw seemed to be a sort of 'fresh start' that seemingly regarded the past as the past that needs to rest and that the timeline was finally no longer a discussion if everythings unified through botw and one thing going forward

but i suppose i was very wrong with that .__.

right now the only thing that motivates me still is the left over determination and spite to work on my zelda comic, since i have never gotten this far and really want to get something done for once, but i cant lie that im feeling like i should pause all work on it too to wait and see waht the book and the new game will do .. either to determine if i still have the will to keep working on it after those things are out (my love for tloz has been taking alot of hits lately ..) or if i have to change stuff (mostly bc of my lore problem trying to not ignore it ..)

[lala-blahblah]

I will never make this because it would be for an audience of one (me) but ever since reading "If we Were Villains" (story about serious drama kids in college who perform shakespeare and deal with a murder) I have been entertaining the thought of a crack fic crossover with High School Musical The Musical The Series where the staff decides they will no longer put on shakespeare after the tragic accident that happened at Thanksgiving, because Shakespeare plays would only increase the tension and drama. So they hire Ms. Jen who decides their spring play will actually be High School Musical (which exists in the 90s in this universe) and it ruins the vibe so much that everyone gives up on being dark and mysterious because they're universally pissed at Ms Jen for making them learn choreoraphed basketball dancing.

just remembered a wip i had which was jay at uni meeting normal people and desperately trying to act cool and normal whilst internally screaming about being in a whole new place with all new people and not having his gang with him

Magnificent Century Rewatch: One Picspam per Episode

Episode 17: The Double Joy

-My dear mother used to say "walk barefoot on earth and it shall take away all your troubles and sorrows, earth shall give you happiness and joy"

-Your mother spoke well, one can only find peace in earth. But I'm not sure if it is on earth or in it.

[hirokiyuu]

look at my alternate yuu concept boy

[abimee]

ruyan is literally so beautiful that i get ill looking at her

[vaguehotels]

had the most braindead repetitive conversation/argument with my parents. buzz cuts are too masculine but if you dye a design on it it become effeminate which is bad because then you look weak and if youre weak then society falls apart (all societies ever that have fallen apart for any reason are actually because of feminine men) and we start sacrificing babies. and also all mental illness is invented because only 4 people had anxiety in the 90s and covid was made up so that we would all become gay and trans and then the government can control us better and be joe biden's little sex slaves. and also i need to keep my hair long because my father finds it attractive. what

[bitegore]

ngl i think i kind of was a genius for being like 'yeah this character is a scary killyou cannibal scary killer who scary kills you' and then realizing that the way my worldbuilding works out is that there's a nonzero chance that if you leave literally any body parts over they can just come back, depending on what they believe in their heart of hearts can kill them. Of course she'd start eating her kills. She probably tried normal stuff first and then realized it didn't work and she had to try harder if she wanted to actually keep them dead.

If they had a kid meme for tams and shig <333 I miss them

send me a ship and I’ll tell you their:

Name: Sae Shigaraki

Gender: Male

General Appearance: Sae looks exactly like his mother, having both her light blonde hair and red eyes, even going as far as to dye parts of his hair in the same shade of purple and black that she has. His hair is long and actually reaches down to his ankles, but in order to keep his hair from catching on things, he usually keeps in in a long braid over his shoulder. Additionally, Sae has very feminine features and is often mistaken for a woman when his back is turned. He also sometimes wears rather large rounded glasses despite not actually needing them.

Personality: Sae is the absolute epitome of fluffy kittens and rainbows despite the colors that he chooses to wear (this is mainly to match with his parents). Despite being the Symbol of Evil's son, he does not possess a single mean bone in his body, instead he'd much rather travel around aimlessly and read a large variety of books. He has an extremely big heart and is easy to make friends with, though this also means that he falls in love very easily too (and gets heartbroken easily as well), hence why he generally is accompanied by his big sister, Sabrina (or Rina as he likes to call her). Along with reading and exploring, Sae also likes to nap... A LOT. He's just a lazy little guy when he's not adventuring.

Special Talents: Sae has a rather unusual talent for solving problems, and I don't mean just regular problems, I'm talking about overly extravagant problems that really shouldn't have any proper solutions. For some reason, it's almost like Sae is able to see other's problems in visual form without even being told and can then somehow manifest a solution, even if such a thing seems impossible. Most believe it's probably his special quirk, but as far as he knows, Sae hasn't manifested a quirk yet. Or has he?

Who they like better: Sabrina. While he does love both of his parents very much, his favorite person is actually his big sister. He always has such fun being around her and going on adventures together, even if most times their adventures just take them to the grocery store or the library. So long as he's with Sabrina, there's always fun to be had.

Who they take after more: Sae definitely takes after Tomura when he was a small child. He has all of his child-like happiness and hopes for a bright future where he can become a pro-hero with his big sister, Sabrina. He wants to become a sister-brother hero duo just like his father wanted to do with his older sister, Hana.

Personal Headcanon: Sae has a strange obsession with collecting rather large rounded glasses whether they're just for fashion or even just to help improve one's eyesight. It doesn't matter to him, he's got a massive collection. Sometimes he even likes to put them on Sabrina.
