it's about the small acts of intimacy... forehead kisses, putting jewelry on you, rubbing your hand with their thumb, putting a jacket on you, touching your necklace, running your hands through their hair, wiping away their tears, peeling them an orange, un/zipping their dress, tying their shoelaces, holding hands, removing an eyelash from their cheek, washing their hair, putting an anklet on them, tucking their hair behind their ear, sorting out their collar, untangling their necklaces, drinking out of a cup in their hands

Honestly, yeah, Australia wildlife is probably more dangerous than a lot of places, but living here you don’t really notice because from the time when you’re young you’re brought up to have good ‘safari etiquette’. Don’t shove your hands under rocks where you can’t see, never touch or go within a couple of meters of wild animals, always wear proper thick shoes when out walking, always assume that an injury from an animal you don’t know is something to keep a close eye on.

And a lot of it’s just common sense that you should be doing already. Stay on the bush tracks, don’t leave small children outside unattended, don’t go into water that isn’t part of a public area.

You’re not going to get a sting from a cone snail unless you break the sacred ‘take only photos, leave only footprints’ rule and honestly if you do end up carking it, well, I’m not gonna say you deserved it but I am gonna give you some major side-eye because you’re kinda the one that started it by being disrespectful of Country in the first place.

Which makes it even weirder when some yank comes up to you, talking about how “I could never live where you are, it’s soooo dangerous!!”, and then you see them on the news a day later mauled to death because they got drunk and picked a fistfight with a bear.

the end of the world began on the day adrien agreste turned thirteen years old.

(first chapter is up! happy october)

“Fiat lux! If you want to talk improbable, let’s talk about this”—a scrape of stone on stone—“being three thousand and some years older than this.” A heavy clunk.

“Inexplicable, Warden.”

“Certainly not. Like everything else in this ridiculous conglomeration of cooling gas, it’s perfectly explicable, I just need to explic-it.”

“Indubitable, Warden.”

“Stop that. I need you listening, not racking your brain for rare negatives. Either this entire building was scavenged from a garbage hopper, or I am being systematically lied to on a molecular level.”

“Maybe the building’s shy.”

“That is just tough shit for the building.”

jazz or prowl figure when?

Hey. Hey Anon. Do you think I can make Jazz figure that can actually transform? Do you believe in me Anon? Because I'm kind of tempted to try

I already have a nice pretty Prowl figure so I don't think I want to make another one myself.

But Jazz...

This was from Cyril Week 2020. Three years... at last... fruition...

The theme for this day was "growth." Tall Cyril agenda.

[lonndoodles]

I don't think I'll draw this out but 2 routes we can go for this Raeda ship.

Route 1: This will be Eda and Raine's first time meeting at their job. It's Eda's first day and Lilith offers to show her around the office. She sees Raine talking to someone during their lunch break. Either Raine has something on them that makes Eda go like "Hello? 👀 we have similar interests?" or "Oh?? U look cool. I wanna talk to you"

OR! flip the script, we're following Raine's pov and they have a BIG crush on Eda. Altho Raine is very put together, they're clumsy or freeze up when trying to chat w/ Eda.

Route 2: They have not seen one another since high school. It's been several decades since they last saw one another. I haven't thought too long on this but I'm curious abt this idea. Did one of them had a crush on the other during high school? Or both? Maybe they had a huge fight and now working together they see they've grown since those school days.

do you think alhaitham is a yearner for kaveh or the other way around

Anon thank you so much for this ask <3 it turns out that this is more complicated than I thought. since alhaitham is so embarrassingly obvious, I think kaveh’s own version of ‘yearning’ can be overlooked, so thank you for giving me an opportunity to explore both! I am using your ask as an excuse to show how embarrassing alhaitham is, he has no shame!! therefore i've had to split this answer into two posts!

alhaitham essentially building his life around kaveh being a part of it is ultimate down bad behaviour:

the house: alhaitham’s character stories give us very little about alhaitham’s life after his fallout with kaveh and his graduation. we’re told that he moves out of his grandmother’s house to move into the research facility gifted to him and kaveh? and it’s only after he moves in that he’s told by a third-party that kaveh has no need for the property, so only then does he convert the property into a house

So it seems he moved in with some expectation of encountering kaveh at some point, especially considering it was their joint property. There’s no reason given why he opted to move out of his grandmother’s house but I think it's interesting that kaveh’s character stories detail that a house is not a home without other occupants who understand him without words, which causes him to sell his parents’ house as he was the only occupant, which parallels with alhaitham moving out of a house in which he also is the sole occupant, into a property which ties him and kaveh together

The bulletin boards/academic journals: although it isn’t specified who made the first journal critique, if it falls in line with alhaitham incessantly responding to all of kaveh’s bulletin board points, I’d like to think that alhaitham reached out first here, just as he moved into their joint property without actually knowing that kaveh had no use for it – although they had separated at this point, regardless of who reached out first, alhaitham was still actively pursuing kaveh’s perspective here, as this was the only instance of kaveh being in his life… oh….

during the archon quest: alhaitham mentioning kaveh without any prompt whatsoever lives in my head, even more so that this seems to be a musing that he didn’t even mean to say out loud? Sick!!

And when kaveh eventually returns, alhaitham says that he doesn’t want to have to explain the whole thing to kaveh, so he should leave the house of daena before kaveh returns, but he doesn’t?

Special mention of the gathering in the grand bazaar where alhaitham equates his own happiness to that of the people of the gathering, and then immediately mentions how he must have taken both keys leaving the house, indicating that another reason for his happiness increased because kaveh has returned, and that his way of life has been maintained - meaning that kaveh is one of his priorities (i brainrot more about this here)

Alhaitham’s story quest: the motif of kaveh ensuring alhaitham’s content is returned to with force in alhaitham’s story quest with establishing kaveh as someone alhaitham chooses not to be objective about, with kaveh being framed as alhaitham’s priority

(additionally, this expression, absolutely criminal)

kaveh’s hangout and voice lines: kaveh is shown once again to be an exception to alhaitham’s objectivity, as alhaitham inserts himself into kaveh’s ‘fate’ to offer him a place to stay when kaveh’s choices led him to selling his house, having no place to go – this overturns alhaitham’s principle of being uninvolved with people’s fates, and pulling kaveh back to shore, as opposed to standing on the sidelines

kaveh’s hangout is really special to me as it showcases alhaitham’s whole understanding of kaveh, not only his inner psyche, but also how to secure kaveh’s happiness through an indirect action, as kaveh’s heart meter increases once seeing the response a student wrote to his annotations, it demonstrates that alhaitham’s care towards kaveh is most explicitly shown with actions

a parade of providence: alhaitham becomes the event's commentator solely to investigate Sachin to see if he influenced kaveh’s father, attempting to give kaveh closure and alleviate his self-destructive mindset. in the same vein, alhaitham leaves kaveh note that in a language the two learnt together for their thesis commenting on kaveh's ideologies and how it can lead to suffering.

this really solidifies that alhaitham's care is demonstrated in actions, and that a shift in communication is needed to properly show this. It’s here that alhaitham’s actions are the most explicit, and this leads to the major improvement in their relationship (which i explore more in detail here)

cyno's second story quest: thank you for chronic book gripper alhaitham reading his book when kaveh is out of the living room, and immediately putting it down when kaveh enters and begins telling alhaitham about his day, for alhaitham to encourage.

the animation that was so essential for the devs to include of alhaitham watching kaveh sketch when kaveh’s back was turned is such a comic example of yearning, it’s actually ridiculous

also alhaitham smiling when being asked to stay in the house of daena to work with kaveh??

alhaitham is one big yearner, he is that guy and he has no interest in beating the allegations!

the second part of this answer will explore kaveh's version of yearning!

please can we talk about the link/parallel/??? being drawn between cooper howard and robert house in the newest set leaks. the phrase "you never know" has wildly different connotations in an ad for a vault and an ad for a casino, but its repetition unavoidably links the two. the classic fallout sicko irony of these guys being the ones to sell this message with their perfect white smiles -- when we already know they're both going to be learning that "you never know" extends to them in a horrifying way, despite their wealth and fame and pre-war comforts. cooper's poster delivering the additional advice "don't wait until it's too late", when we already know:

there's many questions that could be asked about the time between the portal incident and the mystery shack becoming stan's home

like how long did it take for the memories to become too painful that stan had to board up ford's room and hide it behind a shelf, leaving it untouched for decades?

when did he feel comfortable enough to let himself pack up or throw away all of ford's stuff? to add in all the furniture and decorations that he liked?

and most importantly

how long did it take for him to press that giant red button

[scintillatingshortgirl19]

gee i wonder if the issue could be at all related to the fact that the current treatment plan for his chronic pain consists solely of FUCKING IBUPROFEN
