#They're truly everywhere

[ruporas]

lonely

[ID: A limited palette of green and pink, Vashwood comic. The first page serves as a prologue. The first panel shows Vash speaking to someone off screen while Wolfwood is lingering behind him. A black arrow is drawn pointing at him. In the second panel, Vash is buying donuts in the distance while Wolfwood is once again in view, lingering. and the black arrow is drawn pointing at him. In the third panel, Vash is leaving a cubicle and turning towards his right with a slightly peeved expression. He sees Wolfwood, leaning against the cubicle, waiting for him, and with the black arrow drawn, pointing at him, implicating the consistent hovering of Wolfwood’s presence during Vash’s everyday. At the bottom of the page, they’re drawn out of panel with Vash turning to Wolfwood and saying with an irritated expression, “You’re really following me everywhere, huh?” Wolfwood responds, “What, you got a problem?” Vash responds without hesitation, “Yeah, kinda...”

The second page starts with a new day. In the first panel, Vash is seen alone, weighing apples in his hands at a mart, with crowds passing behind him. In the second panel, he turns to his right and starts to say, “Hey, Wolfwood...” In the third panel, he’s startled from seeing a stranger, whom he’d accidentally called out to when he was expecting to see Wolfwood. He says, “Oh, you’re not him. Sorry!” In the fourth panel, the stranger walks off and Vash muses, “Right, he said he had something to do today...”

The third page begins with a close up of Vash's miffed expression, the continuation of Vash's thoughts, "Now that he's not here, this is just like how I used to be, but... It feels lonely somehow. Oh well, I'll see him again tonight, like always." In the second panel, it shows Vash walking through the marketplace crowd, alone. In the third panel, the door panel is a close up of the door opening with a peek of Vash's head. He says, "Wolfwood!" In the fourth panel, Vash is holding a bag of food with a bright smile and says, "Are you hungry? I got you something to eat today!"

The fourth page begins with a shot of the room, two beds being highlighted, one of them being made properly with the blanket draped over the bed and the other with the blanket folded and pillow sitting on top of it. There's no sign of Wolfwood. The second panel shows Vash with a disappointed look as he thinks, "He's still not here?" The third panel shows Vash putting the bag of food on the table. Stapled to the paper bag is the receipt with a written note "For Wolfwood." Vash's thoughts continue "He does like to stay out so, I guess there's no reason to worry..." The fourth panel shows Vash sitting his bed somberly with his thoughts continued, "It's not any of my business anyway..."

The fifth page starts with a close up his blank expression as he looks downwards, thinking, "Even if he left completely... That'd be understandable and better for him. I'll just travel alone again... like before... Huh?" The next panel shows Vash's composure break, tears welling up in his eyes suddenly, as he didn't expect to cry. He starts to sob, putting his hands to his face to quiet himself and wipe at his tears, as he says, "Ugh... Dammit... I miss h..." The last panel shows Vash leaning over into his hands, still crying, and in the back, the door swings wide open with a bam as Wolfwood walks through with the punisher swung behind him. He shouts, "SPIKEY! You in here?!"

The sixth page starts with Wolfwood confused, looking at Vash and Vash looks back, just as confused, with tears in his eyes and snot out of his nose. Wolfwood starts saying, "Ah? You..." No longer in panels, at the bottom of the page, Wolfwood takes the Punisher off of himself and starts to walk towards Vash, continuing with slight concern, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Vash, hurriedly begins to wipe at his tears, denying immediately, "No! No, I'm fine! Nothing happened!"

The seventh page, Vash points towards the table, with a hand still wiping at his tears and he smiles as he says, "I uh got you food. On the table." Wolfwood looks towards to the table and responds, "Oh. I was getting hungry, thanks." He turns his head back to Vash immediately after with an uncertain expression, knowing the other wasn't responding to his concern, and says, "But, I know you're an idiot with this stuff, so I'm reminding you again. Don't brush it off if it's an issue, alright?"

The eight page, Vash's tears have dried and he looks to Wolfwood with a soft smile and responds, "Yeah. It's okay though..." A panel at the center shows a side view of Vash approaching Wolfwood. At the bottom of the page, with no panel, is a close up shot of Vash's hand, holding onto the edge of Wolfwood's jacket sleeve, as he says, "Because you're here now. Wolfwood."

The final page is a back shot of both of them standing next to each other, Wolfwood's head tilted slightly to the left, not fully believing Vash as he says, "That doesn't answer anything, Spikey." Vash responds, "There's no need to talk about it! You should enjoy your food. Let's have a drink too?" Wolfwood responds, "Tsk, tsk. Fine, yeah. I could use one." END ID]

i love stretch marks so fucking much they're so fucking pretty

[callie-flower]

"proship dni" this, "comship dni" that, "neutral dni" unfortunately the people you don't like are still human and deserve comfort. my fucking god shut the hell up you're just as annoying as they are and protest WAY too much about it. go unlearn your purity morality shit

[utilitycaster]

You know what's interesting to watch is that I feel like a lot of people have very thoughtfully and maturely moved away from "I don't like this specific character/ship/fictional work and here's a reason why it's problematic" but we still have a lot of "if you don't like this specific character/ship/fictional it's problematic" floating around (and the more extreme example, "everyone who dislikes this one specific thing is a bigot") and the latter is actually way dumber. Like, it is valid, in fact, to dislike a specific work because it has unfortunate implications; the issue is just that analysis cannot simply stop there. It is rather less valid to say "if you don't like this one specific female character you are a misogynist;" that definitely requires a lot of more involved analysis into what specifically their criticisms are, patterns in their preferences, and even then, you are only basing this on internet mannerisms; I think someone who has no favorite characters who are women is unlikely to be deeply involved in feminist causes irl, but this is technically possible, and it's very easy to find the reverse case of people who are terrible to real women and champion fictional ones.

I'll never get over the fact that MK trades his friends for power to save his friends. What's wrong with him

[bittsandpieces]

Idk how much it’s appreciated but i like all the freckles and moles on you, i think they’re INCREDIBLY pretty. Bodies were meant to have marks on them, they’re beautiful, and you’re beautiful.

it's VERY appreciated, I've been varying degrees of insecure about my moles and freckles for most of my life, and it means a lot when people like them 🥺

gojo and geto seem like the last people to be overly domestic but they take to it so easily it surprises everyone

// sometimes I think about how many times in bg3 you get conflicts that don't have an objectively "best" outcome. I think about freeing the 7000 vampires, for example. Freeing them is the ethical thing to do, because they are all innocent victims, but it remains true that leaving thousands of vampires loose, even in the underdark, is a bad bad idea. Not only are they traumatized people, but they're predators who have only their instincts to help them survive in an unfamiliar land that isn't exactly bountiful in terms of wildlife. If they don't do well, they'll die or be slaughtered, and if they do they'll ruin entire communities or ecosystems, depending on whether they feed on people or animals.

canon Qunari: "shanedan"

me: *battle music starts playing* "OK FIRST OF ALL EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE CINNAMON TOAST FUCK THE CLEARLY NONWHITE CODED BIG HORNED GUYS FROM A DISTANT LAND ARE THE ONLY PREDOMINANTLY WARLIKE AND BLATANTLY COLONIALIST RACE IN THE WORLD. WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY MAKING CHAINED-UP SLAVES OUT OF MAGES JUST FOR THE SHEER FACT THAT THEY CAN CAST FIREBALL. THE SAME RACE THAT IS LIKE "WE DON'T WASTE PEOPLE" OKAY BUT HAVING A GUY THAT CAN'T PARTICIPATE IN SOCIETY, CAN'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT BE AN OCCASIONAL WAR ASSET, ISN'T A WASTE? MATTER OF FACT, STARTING STUPID WARS FOR NO REASON EXCEPT "THOSE GUYS DON'T DO THE QUN" ISN'T A WASTE???? YOU COULDN'T JUST HAVE THEM BE WEIRD AND SNOBBY AND ISOLATIONIST OR SOMETHING? THEY HAD TO BE WARMONGERS? WHY? GO AHEAD. TELL ME WHY RIGHT NOW"

[plushie-lovey]

I've been thinking a lot about my plushie collection and rn I'm just soo overwhelmed by it. Because there's so many of them, and most of them I unfortunately have no attachment to. A majority of the collection was bought on impulse (mostly from goodwill and other second hand shops, where plush are sold very cheaply so its easy to purchase more at one time). I want to sort thru them and get rid of the mass majority that I no longer want, to make room for ones I actually care about, but it feels like such a hassle.

My datemate keeps trying to convince me to wait until we move to do anything. But then I'll have my first collection combined with the one at my current residence and it'll be even more overwhelming. And then there's the thought of where I'm even going to send all these plush. I live in a apartment with cats, and although most of the plush are in boxes, it might still make it hard to sell them because of that. And I live with smokers with no respect, who like to open my bedroom door and let all their nasty smells and nicotine get into my shit, so that's going to make selling even harder.

I could just (re)donate my plush, but then I'll be basically throwing money away, and the same thing would be true if I literally threw them out. Maybe I'll try to sell the ones ik haven't been contaminated by anything because of being boxed up, and the rest I'll just donate. I could see if there's any children's or women's shelters I could send some to. I want to drop a few off for toys for tots as well, mainly the squishmallows because they still have tags and ik they'll be well loved

the thing is I made that (rhetorical vent) post while sitting in a parking lot shaking with frustration after getting cut off at like every intersection I stopped at and the notes did the exact opposite of making me feel better

hi HELLO hi bestie, since it's vito & mikhail's birthday can you tell us how they would spend their day? do they celebrate together in one big party? what type of gifts they would get for each other/the rest of the crew would get them? maybe if there's something you want to share about their special day of when they were younger? just anything you want to share!! >:)

AAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH RENA ILY ;-; <333

so vitali is not a big fan of his birthday AT ALL which is mainly because of his past. his mother always managed to ruin it for him one way or another and the only reason he celebrated it was because it was also mikhail's birthday and they would always spend as much of the day together as possible since mikhail's parents were always working anyway </3

but then they lost contact with each other and spent like. 5-6ish birthdays apart from each other and they couldn't even text each other a "happy birthday" and that. caused vitali to just stop celebrating it altogether :(( mikhail also didn't celebrate it much, he would just. have two drinks by himself that night, one for himself and one for vitali, and then went straight to bed </3

nowadays both of them are a lot more normal about it and they DO in fact celebrate their birthday, but mostly because their friends refuse to let it pass by unnoticed LMFAO vincent Loves planning parties and he would 100% throw a surprise party for them >:^)

they would wake up in the morning to a big breakfast made by vincent and vitali is getting many many kisses (mikhail too actually just. not the romantic kind SHGFDGJ) and vincent has a present for both of them >:^) he would get a (drawing) tablet for mikhail (bc mikhail loves to draw and kept complaining about his other tablet being too slow) and a bunch of cool accessories for vitali (who is gonna have a very hard time deciding on which ones to pick for that day because he kinda wants to wear all of it at once SHGFJDHG)

then they would probably just go to work tbh but they won't get any work done the entire morning because vincent called everyone in and they're gonna force mikhail and vitali to just vibe with them WSJFDHGD they probably decorated the lounge in vitali's office and eddie and thibault made a birthday cake >:^) any gifts they got for them would be The most ridiculous shit. i know this. cato probably got the weirdest little statue she could find and gifts it to mikhail and tells him "that's you :)"

and at night after dinner (probably just shitty takeout food that's not all that shitty when eaten with the right people around you) they would chill on the balcony together. just the two of them. and they'd share a drink like they used to when they were younger and also give each other a little present which i'm very very normal about as always

mikhail would give vitali one of his scrapbooks ;-; <3 vitali's memories are still a bit jumbled nowadays because of the brainwashing arasaka did and he has trouble recalling stuff from his past, but mikhail has many scrapbooks from when he was younger in which he would just. write about his day (usually spent entirely with vitali). or make little doodles. stick in pictures of. well. Anything really. places they visited. stupid selfies they took. i'm fine

and vitali would give mikhail. two things actually because he likes to give gifts that also have a practical use, so he would give mikhail a custom made handgun to begin with because. well. it IS still night city after all SGHFJDGHJD but he would also give him a ring,, one that matches the necklace mikhail already got from him the day they last saw each other before their six years apart,,, they can't get those years back but they can spend many more together and this is vitali's way of showing that this time he is not going Anywhere. i'm normal about them i swear aha x

all in all it would be a very emotionally heavy day for both of them but it's a lot better now that they're no longer apart <3 they would both want to go to sleep early though to just. get to the next day SGHFJDHGD both are Not a fan of getting older and they don't like to be reminded of it <3

Random stuff that literally happened to me today

Character on a t-fic: *says the most criminal tease to ever exist*

Suddenly a heavy something falls on my rooftop

[doubleca5t]

I really cannot overemphasize how based it is that the dungeon meshi fanart community has collectively decided that Falin is fat. Truly a historic W for anime girl likers everywhere. We need to set this as a precedent for all future popular anime - if no women in the cast are fat, the artists must pick at least one of those characters and draw them fat with absolutely no explanation or justification provided. This must continue until the people who make anime realize what they're missing out on by not putting this shit in the source material.
