#THE WRITING IS SO BEAUTIFUL

When I was young my dad offhandedly told me he thought people treated fish with so much casual cruelty because fish can’t scream.
The words branded themselves across my soul.
As an adult I think he may have been joking. He payed no especial attention to any indignities fish suffered in our household but I could never forget. I saw fish in a different light after that.
Fish kept in tiny bowls, breathing their own poisons, dying by inches. Fish kept in cold tanks, casually disposed of. Fish touted as being short lived when they could outlive the better loved family dog if only they could breathe. Fish casually won and discarded in cheap plastic bags, thrown away a week later.
How they would scream, if they could.
#fish#poetry#I suppose? I dunno#animal cruelty#I’d actually love to keep fish but I’m terrified of trying to meet the needs of a creature that can’t bother me#they’re so beautiful and mistreated#writing

my favorite scene in all of literature is when Neil Josten wakes up in Columbia after being drugged, hurls an alarm clock at Aaron, dumps his water on the floor and throws the cup at Aaron, stuff his clothes down the toilet and squeezes out through the window, has the foresight to call Matt from a pay phone to protect his shit, hitch hikes back to campus, eyes back to brown?? shows up on Wymack’s door like 😜 and reveals he could speak German the whole time?? CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, that is a protagonist who knows how MOVE THE MFING PLOT ALONG
#My dad always told me one of the most important things about writing#Is that your protagonist needs to be the one driving the plot lol#like Neil really mfing does that#He gets the plot moving and when it does it HAULS ASS#One of the most beautiful things about tfc#Is that Nora creates the most insane world and as a reader your like??😂 wtf#But then she writes a character who is perfectly suited to deal with that insane world#it’s so endlessly satisfying to read. All the characters speak other languages perfectly for some reason? No worries.#so does Neil. They like fight with knives and love to slam each other into walls? NO WORRIES#so does Neil#Bitch and he’s 5’3???? MY MAN#Novel of all time#protagonist of all time#Solidified its place in the canon of great literature#nora sakavic#all for the game#aftg#the foxhole court#tfc#neil josten

The affection between Black men in Sinners!
Smoke and Stack hugging and saying ‘I love you’ before they part ways in the corn field
Stack’s excitement and cheering as he listens to Sammie’s music while the two of them cruise down the road.
Delta Slim playing with Sammie and mentoring him by explaining the historical and spiritual significance of music to their community.
The way Smoke and Delta and all the others place their bodies in between Sammie and Remmick when the cards are laid before them, holding out an arm to stop Sammie from sacrificing himself; insisting that they’re going to die before they let Sammie leave through that door.
The protective and desperate way Smoke clutches onto Sammie in the final act; Remmick burning up in front of them and Smoke wrapped around Sammie to shield and comfort him and provide another barrier between them and the vampires just in case.
Stack showing up, telling Sammie he’s been following his career the whole of his life, collecting his albums because that’s his little cousin! He’s known him, they’ve known him, and isn’t it amazing to see how far he’s come?Supporting him from a distance, but supporting him nonetheless.
The option Sammie is given at the very end, and the way his choice is honored. Because as much as Stack (and Mary) love him, theirs is not a possessive love. It’s the selfless kind, that they will not try to hold onto Sammie past his time, but instead make sure he knows how important and loved he has been in life.
#the way that portraying Black love so casually normalizes it#it endears us to the characters more and normalizes affection between Black men and in particular#that it’s shown so much by Michael B Jordan—in roles that absolutely epitomize masculinity#it sends this message that you can both be masculine and loving#you can be masculine and express affection for men and it does not compromise your masculinity or heterosexuality#the writing is absolutely beautiful in that. and it provides some excellent male role models—at least in the sense of how to treat others#what your relationships with family friends romantic partners and community members should look#sinners#sinners spoilers#sinners 2025#sinners (2025)#ryan coogler#my post#elias ‘stack’ moore#Elijah ‘smoke’ Moore#Sammie Moore#the smokestack twins#smoke stack twins#smokestack twins#sinners 2025 spoilers

i am overwhelmed by this.
a true believer

venus, looking in the mirror — is she covering herself with the fur, or is she opening the fur to reveal more?
mature themes & nsfw content, mental health issues. [ sub al <3 drinking & smoking mention. a bit messy. ]
Alex is standing in front of a mirror.
It is a tall thing, firmly holding onto the wall. He feels nervy, overwhelmed with the need to scratch his throat from the inside for a few seconds before he calms down and pulls up the zipper of his boot. He has only put on the left one, and the fact irks him all of a sudden. He always puts on the right shoe first.
Alex slumps down in his armchair, next to the mirror.
The white undershirt he is wearing remains to be the only thing that feels comfortable at the moment. The rest of it clings to his skin like a fever.
Yesterday was not good, last night — even worse. He drank a bit, got soppy then sloppy, and at some point he had, apparently, opened his closet and taken everything he found there, scattering the neatly folded clothes all over his bed. It was a mess, and not even a beautiful one, not the kind of mess that makes you want to stare and stare till it hurts to blink. It felt more like looking at the table after a giant supper. The flashy evidence of distorted humanity is so clear in every inch of the scene that it could ruin a nerve ending or two. He had grimaced, confused with himself. Frustration and the wine he had before raising up in his throat...
Something has surely gone wrong, he had thought.
And when he woke up in the morning with a dull ache pressing into him, writhing behind his eyes, he just pinched the bridge of his nose and went to take a shower. It went smoothly afterwards. He put on the bathrobe that is acknowledged only when he can't find anything else to wear and grabbed a cigarette.
Now, that is where a line should be drawn. More specifically — or, preferably — a telephone line.
As if bound by a seemingly useless string of telepathy, you called him. He answered, which is classified as one of the better directions that interaction could have gone in, but he sounds way too distant for your liking.
(You ask him if everything is okay, and he says, "Yeah." It is just a low grumble that does nothing special or nice to your worried state.
"Alex?" You say, and he has to pull his phone away for a second so he doesn't accidentally hear more of your words, your gentle voice. He is not entirely sure he deserves it at all.
"It's okay," he answers.)
Alex is wearing his black slacks here, now. Worn, slightly too big for him, but they look great. He lets his head fall back. What was he thinking about just a few minutes ago?
Did he tell you? No. Surely he didn't write it down either, but it was something good. Oh...
What a pity.
Luckily, he does not have time to start overthinking this time.
He freezes suddenly, perking up at the dim noises of footsteps echoing through the house.
They get closer, slower, then stop abruptly.
He lets out a gentle breath. It's you. It's you getting ready to knock on his bedroom door, probably pressing your lips together and letting your knuckles hover over the door. The door, which has been left slightly open, actually, but you know it does not mean that you should just push it open without knocking first. For some odd reason, he often forgets to close doors like a normal human being.
It is impossible to remember who came up with it, but you remember laughing when someone joked about how his inability to close doors properly could be the reason he is at home all the time.
("Been gettin' way too used to elevators, haven't I?" He had joked back, pressing a smirk into the rim of his glass. Is that funny, or is he just sweet?)
"Come in." His voice feels scratchy in his throat, just like the sound of you opening the door, letting yourself in.
There is one thing to feel nice about; he looks calm. You smile at him.
"Hello, Alex."
He smiles back. Soft, in every sense of the word. Hair a bit tousled and mussy from the shower, jaws soft and more or less clean-shaven, while his chin and moustache remain prickly. This is the way of life he has found the most suitable lately. Slightly stubbly with a troubled face, his eyes blinking slowly, a few strands of pretty hair dancing over his forehead. As his bony fingers silently squirm over his piano, just to feel how smooth the tiles are. Flawless.
"Was just getting dressed."
You nod, moving over to sit on the bed.
"Going somewhere?" You ask. The question is genuine, soft on your tongue. Even though you already know the answer to it.
Alex laughs at that, but it is short-lived. His face slowly relaxes again when you don't laugh along with him. He bites his lip and shakes his head slowly. "No."
You smile again. He envies that sometimes, the way you can smile so effortlessly. An awkward laugh is the most he can do lately. Maybe he will just settle on trying to make you laugh, then.
"That looks nice," you say and look at his legs. The black fabric is draped over him so... carelessly. Flawless. "Old?"
"Yes." He touches his bottom lip with two fingers, fidgeting and staring at the criss-cross stripes on the wall. "But it's not– didn't even need ironing or anything."
You hum. "Where were you last night?"
He stills. "Home."
"Here?"
"Here," he agrees and looks over at you. He is avoiding your gaze this whole time. There is a particular shade of comfort all over the wooden floor, which he can never seem to catch unless he is avoiding somebody's gaze. "Where were you?"
"Had to take care of some family stuff. A matter of urgency, as it always is." You accidentally pull on the skin around your nail too harshly, letting your downward gaze meet a lively drop of blood. "Meant to call you earlier."
Alex nods, "It's okay," he says.
It is easy to get past it. You've heard him say that phrase far too many times. It is kind of losing its meaning. "Are you?"
"Maybe it's not okay..." He looks you in the eye properly. "But it's..."
"Tell me." Your sweet voice breaks the silence. Gently, quietly like a vase falling, shattering on the floor and making sure the flowers land safely.
"I love how you do it," he says. "The openness, I suppose. Don't have to crack you open to know what it's inside. You are just always... there. Where I never seem to be." Silence. "It's as if I am in a dream- and I can't get the words out of me mouth no matter how much I mean them, you know?"
"Alex."
"Yes?"
"Do you want me here?"
His eyes are slightly watery. You continue speaking before he can answer the question.
"I saw you in my dream, actually. Think it was last night..." You get up from the bed, leaving your bag there and standing over him with your hands crossed behind your back. Just a habit.
"Really?" Alex sounds blissfully distracted for a moment.
"Yes. You didn't see me, though."
"Oh." He looks almost apologetic. "What did I do, then?"
"Nothing that I can recall, really. But you were there. It was a special moment." You look down at him. The way one socked foot is resting almost elegantly on the carpet, while the other one is in a completely different state. Precious.
The next thing comes naturally, almost as a reflex. Not that you remember ever doing it before. "We were here, I think. You, looking in the mirror," you say, slowly lowering yourself down on the floor. Kneeling like a true believer, who doesn't even know what they believe in, but there is truth to be found in most things, and some of those are just meant to be treated with love first, before any soul-searching can begin. "I don't remember where I was..." You put a hand on his knee. "But this is quite nice now."
Alex chuckles, covering his amusement with a hand over his face. You reach for his ankle, running your fingers over the sock with a pleased expression on your face. It feels soft, almost velvety, and you gently press your thumb against the smoothness. He shivers as you trap his ankle in place when he instinctively tries to move.
"Love–"
"Hush..." you kiss his thigh. "Need to put this on you, too, now that I'm finally here."
Alex grips the waistline of his pants, which is tight over his soft tummy. He lets a thumb rest beneath it, bending it at the knuckle.
You are too busy picking up the boot, adoring the way it gleams with elegance and something derived from madness. There is a tender tremor in your hands that you have not felt for a long time. It makes him feel like an animal. But not like one of the animalistic kind. This is not about anything carnivorous or — what is this print – reptilian? It is sort of silly. When it comes down to subconscious needs, a great fucking conversation might cure him for a decade, but nobody should enforce epiphanies.
You can not force a flower to bloom, isn't that what they say? Kind of odd to think like that now. But then again, that is something you both are very good at.
Gently, you zip up the boot.
"You are so..." he murmurs. His voice is low, rumbling, almost cute. Very cute.
"Go on." You nudge him, your legs touching his boots as you lean forwards to brace yourself on his lap. With an elbow pressing into his thigh now, the words come way more comfortably.
"Fuck..." he has gone all sorts of wobbly. Rapid heartbeat ripples through his veins like a bad memory at the sound of his own shaky voice.
You frown, then glance down at his hand. "Oh, baby..." The trousers are taut over his groin, digging into him. Cruel, but smooth. You kiss the shape of him that's beginning to show through the fabric.
Only the sound of your soft sigh holds the room together. He is not even breathing. As if you have gotten so close that he does not need to breathe himself, and can just rely on your mouth smearing wet kisses over his trousers to ground him. It's only when you look up, with your lips gently touching him, that Alex lets himself peek through his fingers to catch your gaze, willing it to make his lungs jolt to life again.
You chuckle against him and decide to be mean because you can do that here, holding his ankle down as you think of another way to ruin him. You bite his thigh, not even bothering with pulling your hair back and surely tasting nothing but warmth and fabric, but when he cries out, it is the sweetest thing that has ever existed in the same world as you.
Alex grabs the back of your head with a trembling hand. "Don't–"
You pull away without making it seem as if the touch on your nape is unpleasant. Instead, you gently grasp his wrist. "What is it?"
He tries to squeeze his thighs together.
"Nothing- don't let me go, or think, not now..."
"Think about what, Al?"
"Just want to be here, with you." He drops his head to the side, trying to avoid your gaze, but nearly shuddering in defeat when he finds his own eyes in the mirror. "Please."
You slide your thumb over his boot, silently admiring the texture.
"Watch yourself." You say, "think about how lovely you look."
He shakes his head. A fuzzy curl falls on his forehead almost innocently, and he shuts his eyes tightly, as if it hurts. Just like how he scrunches his face up when he is trying to find the perfect word to end his sentence with, or when your fingers are inside him and your shushed sweet nothings become part of a memorable moment.
"You are so wet, aren't you?" You whisper the words into his tummy, feeling his pulse under your cheek, your chin gently pressing on him.
"Mhm."
"Really?" You smile, happy with his little noise. Your fingers reach up to his face, caressing his scruffy chin before gently dipping a finger into his slack mouth. "Here?"
Alex whines, squirming.
You feign confusion and frown back at him. "Don't think I can trust you to speak the truth, dear. You are drooling over me." There is stickiness clinging to your finger when you pull it away, and you let him see it. "Many things your mouth is good for, but this is just pure sweetness. Wish you were looking at yourself now."
He closes his mouth, licking his lips lazily. "I don't want that." He sighs. "'s wearing me out."
You feel something tug on your bones, urging you to comfort him. Or slap him across the face. "It's okay," he will say, still. "It's alright."
"Then, what is this for, Al?" Your voice is soft, soothing his thoughts like a balm, as you touch the leather of his shoe, the silky material of his pants — it's difficult to feel anything but love. Keeping something so special like his vulnerability in your heart has to make a tear fall down your cheek, but you feel yourself growing needy just from looking at him. His hazy eyes, the way he looks stubborn and grumpy even when he would happily let you eat him up.
"I was just trying to remember. Being somewhere else..."
"So, why would you try going back?" You kiss him again, tracing cute patterns with your fingers over his thigh. "Stop trying to chase old memories. There is always a reason for it if they keep slipping away from you."
"Like what?" When did that angry shadow appear on his face?
You don't like that, so you pull on his waistband with a firm grip until his back arches. "You want me here, no?"
Alex nods swiftly. Warmth pools in his belly as his lips are trembling, gone all glossy like his eyes.
"There is always the wrong way to do a good thing." You put your fingers over the zipper of his trousers, waiting for another quick nod before pulling it down.
"I know that," he whispers and shifts his hips.
"Of course you do," you say, as you pull him out, intently listening to his soft hisses when you move your hand around him. You hum, content with the way he feels in your hand. Needy. Thick. "You are all sticky. Maybe I can trust you to know things, hm?"
Alex bucks up into your touch, shuddering as he moans softly.
"Is that a yes?"
He nods.
"That's a good boy."
You don't look up; he does not want to be looked at, so you stare in the mirror instead.
The jittery warmth that often fogs your brain lives somewhere inside him, you realise. Whether it is the pink tint over his cheeks, or his eyes going slightly wider when you say something particularly satisfying, it is dizzying.
He is beautiful. Like a painting, but not the famous one. Not the kind of painting you would see on the TV or in some old magazine, but the kind that people would judge, as if it was done just for them, and they have the right to demand corrections. Too showy, too raw,
head tilted back and mouth open, — his Adam's apple looks even sharper from the side. The arm of his chair hides where your fingers are working over him.
What a pity.
It is only a matter of seconds before you catch his gaze in the mirror.
It doesn't last long. He twitches in your palm, and a little whine escapes his throat as warmth coats your fingers, dripping down onto his trousers.
His thighs tense under your arms and you grab him with your free hand again, cradling his ankle lovingly. It keeps him calm this time, instead of riling him up like before.
There is a feeble moment of peace.
Alex looks absolutely indecent, even after you tuck him back in his trousers. Not before pressing a little kiss to his soft cock, of course. He might have snorted at that, somewhat surprised by the intimacy or how good it felt — being treated like a precious thing.
His hand comes down to brush your hair back.
"Thank you," he says. "Needed you."
You rest your head on his knee, letting out a sigh. It has been a weird couple of days. Blurry moments, shaky mornings ending with you passing out on the couch, stubbing the cigarette out just in time so you don't accidentally burn your house down. Your eyes grow heavy, and you hold in another sigh.
"Have I tired you out?" His question is gently folded like an envelope, full of carefully chosen words.
"No," you murmur against him. "I was already tired."
Alex tangles his fingers in your hair, rubbing your scalp sweetly. "I would suggest a nap, but the bed looks busy, doesn't it?"
You agree with a slow nod. "I did not know you still owned so many colours."
"And I still picked something so..." He looks at the criss-cross stripes on the wall to find the perfect word. He says, "Funereal. Must be something wrong with me."
"Wanna shower?" You ask.
"I think-" He laughs at the way your tired mind does not even register his words. "No, yeah, I don't think so. I showered just before you got here. The back of me head still feels pretty wet."
"How about a bath? I can wash your hair properly."
He traces his teeth with the tip of his tongue, considering the idea.
You are technically curled around his leg, an image of pure exhaustion. Absentmindedly caressing his calf, not caring for the cold floor beneath your knees... It fascinates him how you seem absolutely eager to please, always.
He is glad to be here. Even if filthy at the moment, his mind is perfectly slow. No racing thoughts pinching and pressing into his brain, no need to stare at the furniture and analyse the day before. He looks in the mirror again, his gaze immediately dropping to you. Your hair has gone all messy, your lips a lovely shade of red.
Alex notices the little spot on your finger and looks back down at you. Still keeping up the bad habit, he thinks, as he observes the tender skin and the similarities between the two of you.
You snap out of your dreamy daze when he grabs your wrist, caressing the bone and loving how he knows the reason you aren't wearing your favourite ring is that it makes your hands feel too cold on windy days. He smiles at your wide-eyed face before leaning down, kissing your nose.

Zuko's eyes watered against his will when the ghost of a woman he did not know smiled at him like he was her child.
Zuko decided right there and then that maybe, just maybe, this too was something he came to find.
Ghost-Mother takes a look into Zuko's soul in For the Spirits Chapter IX: A Rider Alone.
More than a stranded soul, Kya holds all the love of the Old Tribe and the means to calm a coming tempest. Zuko won't ever forget her.
(He won't be allowed to.)
#atla#zutara#avatar the last airbender#zuko#atla fanart#atla art#prince zuko#katara#for the spirits#new gods au#Spirit Touched Zuko#kya#atla kya#southern water tribe#atla fic#atla fanfic#atla zuko#zuko fanfic#zuko art#zuko fanart#For the Spirits Chapter IX: A Rider Alone#Ghost-Mother was such a beautiful character to write. I loved her lines and her warmth and her vibes.#Zuko meeting Kya was something I've been wanting to write for ages. And now it's here!#Though the way they meet is...quite unorthodox.#But that's okay. Stories involving ghosts and spirits aren't too common in the ATLA fandom (which is just sad).#That's the main reason I started writing FTS—to explore the spirit world and the endless possibilities it brings to the table.#Yue's backstory and Uncle Iroh's spirituality have always been so fascinating to me. Now I get the chance to explore that world through Zuko#Kya won't be a recurring character. She's connected to her home and the Old Tribe so I don't think we'll be seeing much of her in the future#But we don't need to. She's a vision of home. A past you cannot return to. The spirits of loved ones who watch over you.#She makes an impact on the present through her connection with the past. And I think that's beautiful.

"this female character is underdeveloped" TO YOU. I can read subtext and I know all about her backstory and her rich inner life. also she told me personally
#I honestly think that one of the most enriching and rewarding parts of writing fanfiction is getting to#fully flesh out and explore a character who gets some but not-quite-enough characterization in canon#unless the character is REALLY minor there are always so many threads to pull out and weave into something new#you can even deconstruct the marketing materials! oh this character is only described as 'beautiful'? wonder how she feels about that hmmm#my original post#writing#fanfic#I'm just really proud of what I've been able to do with Miss T. it's almost all right there in the script and lyrics if you'd only look!

thinking about laying beside simon on the bed, your head resting on his shoulder while his hands held a book that you had gifted him, his eyes fixed on the text.
your fingers absentmindedly traced over the scars on his chest, letting your soft fingertips draw over the rough sunken skin of the healed gashes — a painful story written in each of them. and you wanted to read it all, read every scar and cut, kiss all of it, absorb it so you could share it with him — a connection only you’d ever have with him.
your fingers slowly found their way to his stomach, hand caressing the muscles that had softened up ever since he had come home from deployment, your eyes noticing the stretch marks starting on the sides of his tummy that you adored so much. pale lines adorning his skin, urging you to probe them too, your hand touching him so gently — an angel soothing a wounded soldier.
simon is gorgeous, too gorgeous. he never seemingly saw it the way you did. “you’re so pretty…” you lazily whispered, pressing a soft kiss on his shoulder.
you were the warmth his cold heart sought, the fire that melted him, the sun that gave his moon the light he never thought he’d see. he needed you in the way a man needed a god, in a way a plant yearned for water. and you were happy to give it all to him, everything for your sweet simon.
“you tryin’ to tickle me, love?” his gruff voice broke you out of your trance, your eyes finding his which were no longer looking at the book, an intrigued grin playing on his lips that made you giggle heartedly and give his stomach some pats.
“maybe.”

The Dungeon Meshi crew 'leap' into action!
#dungeon meshi#marcille donato#laios touden#senshi#chilchuk tims#Full confession time: I originally planned to post this last thursday so I could caption it “Hoppy Leap year everyone!”#But as I was sketching I realized that the tentacles and Tansu party stuff came first#So devastated to have the frog episode and leap year be a week off. Almost a beautiful coincidence.#I love how they play on Marcille's vanity to get her to wear the outfit AND repair the situation#It is true her ears make the suit look very cute.#And shout out to our girl for having her priorities straight (heh) and not wanting to rescue her crush in a frog skin suit.#Though we all know Falin would be so into the idea. The painful thing that dungeon meshi never lets us forget is her absence#Falin would love to dress as a frog...She is meant to be there so much that it is painful. Beautiful tragedy beautiful writing.#The red dragon arc starts next week and I'm clawing at the walls. To those who are anime only: Get ready.

why him? ; pope cody x reader
warnings: swearing, probably ooc pope & j
wc: ~580
i am so so sorry if this is extremely ooc for pope or j, i'm basing them off of the two episodes i've watched and a bunch of pope fanfic i've read! i'm imagining this taking place right at the beginning of the show (seeing as that's all ive watched!!)
"i dont want this to come across as like..." josh trails off, searching for the words so as to not offend you, "like, rude or whatever?" he squints, trying not to cringe at how awkward he's being. you smile, "spit it out, kid, i won't be offended."
he takes a beat, slowly nodding before he continues. "why are you..." he glances back to andrew standing inside the house, before turning back to you. "why are you with him?" you raise your eyebrows, "him? you mean andrew?" josh nods, "pope, yeah- andrew i guess."
you cant help but laugh. the sound mostly leaving as forced exhales through your nose. "yeah i guess we're not really alike at all, huh." josh shakes his head, "no, you're definitely not." a small smile coming on his face, now knowing you didn't take his question the wrong way.
you take a sec, honestly thinking about the answer. why were you: college educated, career woman, from a good family, with andrew pope cody of all people. you understood how the question could come up.
you shrug.
"why is anyone with anyone," you smirk. trying to sound philosophical, while also dodging the question. josh just stares at you, not quite getting the sarcasm. you sigh. "to be honest, j? i couldn't tell you why." you admit. "i don't know that there's a reason... i just-," another sigh, collecting your thoughts now.
"i know he's not everyone's cup of tea," you start. "i know he's a lot for some people, i know people don't really get him, i know he can be scary at first..." you're practically rambling now. "i know he's got a staring habit," you tease, earning a laugh from josh, "yeah he definitely does. that shit is unsettling as hell," he admits and you laugh, nodding. "it one hundred percent is but- you'll get used to it i swear."
"really though, j, why is anyone with anyone," you circle back to your earlier point, once filled with sarcasm, now an actual question. "why are you with your girlfriend?" you counter, not trying to deflect, just... curious.
he shrugs. "makes me happy." he says matter-of-factly, "i don't know, she just... gets me." you smile. "exactly."
"is andrew a little... weird? absolutely he is. he's probably the strangest, most complicated person i've ever met but... when i'm with him? when it's just us? god, it's..." you try to find the words to describe how being with andrew makes you feel, but decide to use josh's own.
"he gets me," you say simply, "and i get him."
josh nods slowly, "i guess that's all you need, right? someone that gets you." you smile, "yeah it really is."
"what's all you need?" andrew asks as he emerges from the house, walking over to where you and josh sit on a couch by the pool.
"someone that gets you." you repeat, smiling at your boyfriend while he sits down beside you and drapes his arm across your shoulder. "kid was asking for relationship advice. told him all you need is someone that gets you. the rest will just... fall into place." you fill him in. it's not entirely a lie, but it's enough for andrew not to ask anymore questions.
"uh huh," andrew hums, "got my someone right here." he pulls you into him, pressing a kiss to the top of your head. you smile.
for the first time, in this moment, josh thinks he might be understanding why you two are together.

My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.
[id in alt text]
#legend of zelda#loz#twilight princess#loz tp#i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it#it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy#but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble:#i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way#to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present#link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face#and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up#you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way#the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually?#fan art#my art#project stuff#and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!!#especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them#a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt#i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time

i literally do not care about big emergencies on abc's 911. i want to see my characters talk to each other and have stories that are parallels to small, everyday (everyday for first responders) emergencies
#why must everything be such a big ass event#okay yes it makes sense for a season premiere (tsunami my beloved <33)#and they sometimes slay at the end of a season (sniper arc <33)#but god other than that i literally do not care!!!!#bc they are bad#im not even sorry but the ebola 2.0 story is just not interesting to me#i would never rewatch it even if it gave us buck athena doing crime and chobby moments that make me scream and my beautiful boy ravi#like i care about the characters!!!!!#idgaf about anything else tbh#thats why i watch this show bc i love (almost) every character on this show and i want to learn more about them and see them in situations#so many recent episodes have zero rewatchability to me bc tim is out here trying to do some crazy ass thing that ends up not being executed#well or sacrifices character development#and like man what are you doing???#making episode long arcs that are still focused on the mains and not just doing shit for the sake of doing shit is possible and has been#done on 911 before#pls#tim pls i want my characters to have satisfying development and arcs i dont need to see a 4 minute long helicopter chase or your poorly#written versions of movies you like#either start cooking up good mass events again (see: earthquake tsunami sniper) or just stopppp doing them pls#sorry i saw tims interview where he said there's gonna be another mass casualty event at the end of 8 and i just know its not gonna be it#like some of these episodes this man has been writing have so few good character moments/interactions that im like.#why did i even watch the episode i could have gotten all i wanted from gifs on tumbler dot com and wouldnt have had to watch 40 minutes of#poorly written everything else#anyway i love everyone who works on 911 abc (excluding tim) they are beautiful and hardworking and put up with that bald mans delusionals#and ofc i love all my beautiful mains you are the reason i watch this show i cannot imagine 911 without my beloved firefam
