#also yes he grew

[angelbvn]

for context. thats how tall kaz is if ur 5’2 (which is my height)

[inkskinned]

you know, you know. no gods, no masters, no kings on pedestals. everyone is fallible. death of the author. you know! you are balanced about your intake of media - you allow the wiggle room, the grace, the gratitude, the skepticism. nobody above criticism.

but still. a weird gut-punch feeling, something akin to betrayal. you read the article. surprise! an author you love is actually: a serial fucking predator.

well, shit. what now. no, you knew he was a person (all people are), but now you're wondering - what have i overlooked by accident? what messages have i internalized that are strange and cruel? and also, like, what the fuck?

his actions lay a thick glaze on top of everything. like each place is now ruined, opaque in a new way. but okay, fine, you've done this before. you knew better, right? you've been betrayed by many a cherished childhood author.

still, this stickiness. fuck. can you pick up that book again. will you read it to your children. you've recommended it to others - will you ever do that again? and of course, of course, no parasocial relationships. you were theoretically above this kind of sentiment. but the artist informs the art, right.

so it's not something as clear-cut as feeling he owed you, specifically (a stranger) better behavior - just that you kind of, in a distant and odd way... sort of trusted him to do better. it's not like a real trust or something speakable, just the faint hope that the product (good books) was a thin representation of the soul. now it feels like the product (good? books?) was a mask. in some small or insignificant way, your previous support of this person lent them power. your money and your time and your laughter.

and the thing is - you have this terrible, echoing sensation. how many times will this happen? over and over. you find out that the singer you love is actually a predator. you learn over drinks that your favorite high school english teacher is in jail for what he did to her. you listen to the news idly and suddenly discover that a woman you used to idolize has been abusing her kids for an actual eon.

what can you touch without the static melting off. you can't even really complain about it too much (you were supposed to know better, and besides, you don't want the same re-split "it's not your fault, love what you love" basic advice), but now it's here. somehow, it feels like - you let him into your life.

it's not that things need to be pure or an artist has to be like, endlessly perfect, mindful. demure. it's more just this terrible truth that has been replayed through your veins so often it feels criminally vain. power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. did you want any one person to be worth that power?

it's just that he wrote books where he seemed to understand that. he seemed to know about hierarchies and unfair systems and bigotry and privilege. you thought they were books about what it means to struggle. you thought they were about having power and still using it for good rather than for control. he spooned you a narrative of being a good guy, a kind soul. you fucking bought what that fucking monster sold.

maybe that's why they were fantasies, after all.

alright, so jevin has wing huh? here's the real question, how well can he actually fly?? anyway, i love him so muchh, the way you designed him makes me wanna give him a rub on the back and wings-

ooh flight inquiry, i imagine jevin is able to take himself at any height he desires but simply chose to stay grounded

he although preferrably goes as high as the height of octave hills (one of the locations i made up for my au, need to draw a map for future refs lol) which is generally at 14ft

wanted to draw more of this idea but for now here's one (1) depiction of jevin actually flying and a lil bonus whee

yippeee!! 🪽🪽🪽🪽

let’s be super clear: there is zero canon evidence that alden ever pressured or neglected any of his children. zero. if you want to make him that way for fic or fanon purposes, fine. you do you. but the second you try to use that in a serious anti alden argument, you lose credibility

[caligvlasaqvarivm]

I used to despise Eridan and think he was the absolute worst character (barring Cronus ig) but you have shown me the light and completely turned my opinion around and now I think he is such an endearing little freak <3 I read your whole blog already but if you've got any more thoughts on eri or anyone else then I hope you post them bc I'd love to hear more abt it!

i have sooo many controversial opinions about the dancestors you have noooooo idea

heathcliff: i killed cathy...... im a horrible person in every timeline. my revenge killed her. my remorse literally broke through timelines.

catherine who got back at heathcliff by stealing a house to remodel into the Magic Cocaine Labyrinth after draining the financial assets of england's least tragically ill victorian man, making carmen contact her copyright lawyers by sealing her ambiguously dead body into a glass tank while her brain powers a building, and potentially hiring the Mueseumafia of Modern Art because if she pays them with cash she doesnt have to report her Green-Energy-Human-Tank Powered Hydrogen Bomb Basement Factory's earnings to the IRS or whatever the city uses: 'tis what you get for trying to boyfail without your girlboss, methinks 😇😇😇😇😇

Mu Qing ascending is objectively so funny considering Feng Xin and Xie Lian also do. Out of the people in your kingdom who accomplished immortality there’s this guy who used to be your servant but is now on equal rank to you and he‘s super rude now and also thinks you hate him because he remembers when you were 18 and lacked socioeconomic-interpersonal awareness

[twisting-in-wonderland]

He may be. slightly jealous of how well jack and deuce work together in their club.......

(not that he'd admit that---)

there is no peace for Ace..................

Rhaegar: You can’t beat me, Hightower. You worked your way into this world, but I? I was born into it. I breathe it.

[27spoons]

is it controversial to say im a travnat supporter

like YES i want nat to be with a chick as much as the next person........ but I enjoy doomed relationships ok

[nicxxx5]

there are so many fandom ships that i want, so 911 is one of the very few times i don't want it because i think buck and tommy are really good together.

now i also get bashing a character that you don't like, especially when they're trash...but goddammit some of yall are so fucking nasty to tommy and he didn't do shit 😭😭😭

[wu-wakfu-undertale]

Re-watching wakfu for the first time in years and s1 Yugo was so silly???

dude discovered he could make portals at will and his first thought after actually acknowledging it is "i can do so many cool pranks with this"

[captainjamesfitzjamesofficial]

The doctor leaves and James busies himself with doing nothing. Taking note in the logbook of what has happened. Writing down the list of the dead, cross-referencing, figuring out who they were. It's just war, he reminds himself, don't get too personal about it, but it's personal. It feels personal.

He doesn't know if it's normal to feel as though he's lost his own sons and brothers, his own family, but he hates the feeling nonetheless. He hates that he cares so damn much because he knows he will never be good enough for them. He was never one for family and grew up an only child, without a mother, but being in the navy and this tight crew business has shifted perspectives. It scares him to have people he's close to. He'll have to be careful with Goodsir tonight. Nothing personal. Friendly, but nothing personal.

He goes on deck again, busies himself with giving his orders and checking on the crew. He's too afraid to go to sleep, so he won't, he'll stay awake as long as he can, even if he's tired, even if his mind is muddied, even if he feels so terrible, so so so terrible.

Much as he knows he should check on the injured, he avoids the sickbay.

Eventually the time comes. He has the steward get everything set for him in the wardroom, and then he waits for the doctor @erebusanatomist48.
