@honorhearted {x}
The danger had become too great for her to stay in Setauket, forcing her to flee with her children to the Continental Army, seeking refuge and leaving behind the tavern that had been her beloved Selah's hard-earned passion, his legacy.
Everything he'd built was now gone, ruined by the enemy. Despite the fact that he'd been dead for well over a year now, she could still see his face so clearly, imagining the look of disappointment in his eyes as though he were standing right in front of her. Though they'd both been avid Patriots, she knew he would be cross with her for having put their children at risk.
While it was true, it wasn't in her nature to be so cavillous of herself, she hadn't ever thrown her family into such a compromising position before. Anna put on a brave face and did what needed to be done, but at the end of the day, she was just one woman. She was tired. She was scared. Scared for her children.
"Anna, you're a wonderful mother -- there's never been any disputing that. You need to understand that these are desperate times, and if you want your children to have a life -- a good life -- then fighting for our very freedoms is precisely the way to do it."
"I'm well aware of that, Ben."
Perhaps seeking solace from Benjamin, who had been kind enough to see to it she and the little ones were looked after, had been a terrible idea. After all, he surely had enough on his plate, but the nostalgia of a friendly relationship had led Anna to hope she could confide in him her innermost concerns. Maybe she'd been wrong.
Keturah and Thomas were asleep back in her tent, but little Mary, still under two, was sound asleep on Benjamin's cot, too young to be left in the care of the other two. Anna sat at her side, brushing the dark curls from her eyes. It was the same shade as Selah's and that caused her heart to twinge.
"If we don't ensure we'll even have a home to return to, we can never provide for our families."
"You say that as though I've been idly sitting in the corner and twiddling my thumbs rather than risking everything. I've done everything you've asked of me and more -- put your needs above the needs of my own children who now sleep in the woods and live on rations just as your men do. All I ask is that you allow me to continue aiding the Ring even if I can no longer do what I was before."

“what kind of mother has thoughts like that?” (Anna)
@pagetreader
Benjamin remained hunched over his notes, squinting at the smudged writing within the dull, unforgiving lamplight. He heard Anna's question and sighed, dropping the papers before rubbing his face. It wasn't like her to be so self-critical. And while he didn't normally mind the company, he was frustrated and nettled, and quite frankly, a little resentful of Anna's good fortune. Did she not realize how lucky she was to have a child in the midst of such hellish darkness?
He turned to her with a sigh. "Anna, you're a wonderful mother -- there's never been any disputing that. You need to understand that these are desperate times, and if you want your children to have a life -- a good life -- then fighting for our very f.reedoms is precisely the way to do it." He shook his head. "If we don't ensure we'll even have a home to return to, we can never provide for our families."

is du drow the little spoon? like on one hand he does have that vibe but on the other hand astarion is very much the guy who insists he’s the big spoon but becomes a soft pile of love goop when he’s the little spoon
Sorry to be the bearer of Boring news but Astarion strikes me as a guy who won't ever shut up about the crook on his neck the next day if you make him be the big-spoon.
#he can't make the sacrifices necessary to be big-spoon#He doesn't have it in him#I don't know if vampires experience pins and needles but he could never#ask#art#du drow#astarion#bg3#baldurs gate 3

right side of my spread for @kazumajizine ! (see left side here)
y0-era real estate agent!Kiryu and 80's!Goromi at The Grand. it's no secret that I love Goromi, and the idea for the dual images came from me being assigned y0 and not being able to choose between drawing "regular" Majima and my favorite of his alter egos~
below is the back that I whipped up for the physical prints- the mods had the fun idea to print them playing card sized and 2-sided and I tried my best to model something like a Bicycle card deck.
i am by no means a graphic designer, but i had a lot of fun executing this concept and am still so happy with the way this turned out :^]
#yakuza#rgg#kazumaji#goromi#yakuza 0#while i prefer the way the left turned out composition-wise i'm still pretty happy with this one! the grand color scheme was lots of fun :3#the details were a bEAST though.. holy hell i had to sacrifice some but i think i got all the necessary rendering done

Eywa's fleecy little lamb — the blood sacrifice of Her chosen one
#Spider was always Jake's blood sacrifice#he's always the necessary price. the necessary loss. the necessary sacrifice.#his life weighed just a little bit less#and while Jake never put the blade to the little lambs neck#he lead him to the slaughter#left him to the wolves#a sweet distraction to throw off the scent#Eywa's Chose One was so quick to abandon Her first Golden Boy. her Lamb. Her sweet little lamb. the first Sky Child of Eywa'evang.#I wonder how She feels about that?#avatar 2#avatar the way of water#spider socorro#miles spider socorro#miles socorro#a little lamb in the lions den#a little lamb in the wolf's jaw

[ cw: sacrifice / self sacrifice / slight suicidal themes / death mention / ]
I personally think that Leo took the wrong lessons from the movie. I definitely think he grew to understand the importance of teamwork and making sure he takes others into account so as to not harm them by proxy of whatever scheme he has cooked up, however based on the ending events I’m not quite certain he fully grasped two things.
The first thing is communication. Oh, he can communicate, and he does, when he deems it necessary. When he’s setting up a plan prior to the action. But this is where the second thing comes in.
The second thing I don’t think Leo truly grasped is “it’s not about you.” It’s so unbearably easy to take that the wrong way, especially when taking the rest of the series into account.
What I believe Leo took from this message is not “it’s not just you, everyone matters and can contribute, can help and be helped” but “put the whole of everyone above yourself” which can both be a good lesson…and a fatal one.
And it is fatal, we see as much in the movie.
Even after the big hope speech, when Leo is “fighting” Krang!Raph, he takes a huge risk. Sure, it worked, and Leo managed to get through to Raph through a well deserved apology, but it could have so easily ended in his death and yet he barely even hesitates to go for it.
And then again, to the big scene at the end, where Leo sacrifices himself not only for the sake of his family, but for the whole world.
To him, that’s the message to take from this. That the lives of everyone, of the greater good, matters…more than him. That the risk to himself is worth it if others can be saved.
Leo learned that gambling with his life as the betting chip is always the best move to make in the end.
And to make matters worse…this thinking is what works.
These risks are ultimately what is needed to save the day, so why would Leo look away from it now? Clearly it’s the right move and everything worked out!
Thing is, Leo did grow from the events of the movie. He learned to take things more seriously and be more mature, he learned to value his team’s input and capabilities enough to rely on them more, and he learned to be less self-centered and realize the turmoil others were going through (especially if that turmoil is a result of his actions.)
But still, he’s grown to accept the gamble of his life as a viable answer to their problems.
Personally, with how Leo has been shown to toy around with the idea of “it’s better me than them” I think this goes beyond sacrifice in the name of love or even sacrifice in the name of responsibility, and pushes over into sacrifice in the name of worth.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#death mention /#sacrifice /#self sacrifice /#suicidal tendencies implication /#I honestly could go on for hours but this is all a kinda messy ramble rn#but yeah like…I genuinely can’t see how Leo doesn’t take the wrong message from this all#sure he gets a lot of good growth but#he’s a gambler at heart#it’s just now he’s only willing to bet *himself*#ONCE AGAIN-#‘I’m nothing without them’ and ‘it’s not about you’ can and do mix into quite the dangerous cocktail huh#thing that gets me here too is that a lot of what Leo has to learn in the movie is things he already showed moments of knowing in the show#like Leo KNOWS what his family is capable of and can rely on them if necessary#the problem is when it’s necessary#and he grew to understand that it’s actually ALWAYS necessary…except at the very end#leo is also often the voice of reason throughout the series…but he also often folds and just goes with the flow#he’s goofy like that lol#and tbh he likes to RELAX#that’s a pretty subtle but pretty substantial part of his character#imo at the beginning of the movie Leo KNOWS he’s being immature and THATS THE POINT#they’re still kids man#they’re all just kids#but yeah#I keep rambling and rambling but Leo really is such a tragic character in the grand scheme of things#he’s so utterly fascinating to look at because of how many layers and complexities he has but I just want to give him a hug and let him rest

do you think riko considered himself god and do you think he thought of kevin as his greatest creation and do you think after he destroyed his hand he justified it as a sacrifice that had to be done and do you think in his mind he cradled the idea of kevin in his arms like mary cradles jesus’ corpse in pietà or are you normal
#my religious upbringing strikes once again lol#something something riko believing himself a god and kevin a part of him and something something (un)necessary sacrifices and religion#riko moriyama#kevin day#dare I say#kevriko#aftg#all for the game#the foxhole court#kiwiaok
