The Helena diaz of it all has me fascinated. I’ve said for a long while that Eddie’s real issues are his mommy issues and this episode just cemented for me that we’re gonna explore that and deal with it.

Because it’s Helena who forced Eddie to grow up to fast - because her husband wasn’t around much - so she pushed Eddie into de facto parent and husband role ls - selfishly filling her needs and ignoring the damage it was doing to her son (it is a form of abuse in my book).

Eddie then had the audacity to fall in love with and marry Shannon and get her pregnant. It’s why Helena was always so off with Shannon - she was punishing her. She is also punishing Eddie for all of this and his refusal to return to El Paso only cemented further her bitterness and resentment.

Now she does have Ramon back she doesn’t need Eddie any longer to fill that role so she is still punishing him and part of that is tied into her glee over now getting to parent Christopher - something she has always been intent on doing the doppelgänger just gave her the opportunity- as well as allowing her to further punish her son and his love of Shannon.

Her barbed comments about building a pool were all about showing what she can provide Christopher - how she is parenting him better than Eddie - it’s part of her mind games - making Eddie feel like more of a failure as a parent to his son.

The reality of course is that the reverse is true - Helena’s parenting is all superficial, flash and showy - it isn’t the hard day to day parenting when things get tough and you have to be the bad guy. While Eddie has made mistakes, there is nothing superficial, flash, or showy about his parenting. It’s why bucks comments about Eddie being a great dad are so important.

Eddie feel like a failure right now and that he is entirely to blame for everything. But in reality, while he does bear a bit of the responsibility, the truth of the matter is that he needs to learn and deal with the fact that all of it actually stems from Helena and her abuse of her young son - Shannon never stood a chance just like Eddie never has.

I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the end of her family name.

I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.

Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.

All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:

“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”

Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

Every now and then I remember I am significantly older than the legalization of gay marriage in my country and I take psychic damage every time. I am not that old, like my life has just begun.

Just... Remember our rights didn't just descend from the heavens hundred of years ago. It is still a fresh memory, a blip compared to the timeline of the world.

Guys I just had a Horrible Thought.

What if Victim used to live a pretty happy life with a farmer family that took him in after he ended up on a webpage, not the Outernet, but then Chosen and TDL targeted the site in a rampage and destroyed his home/possibly killed his family?

And THAT'S a potential reason why Victim is so viscous to Chosen in The Box; it's not just about overpowering and dominating him, but revenge.

Because I really don’t want to stop seeing tbb content, I think I’m gonna try and post tbb art every wednesday! No matter if it’s just a little sketch or something else

Anyways have some concepts for the HTTYD Au and my attempt at drawing Crosshair (i cannot draw people for the life of me)

Here’s their dragons:

Wrecker- Crimson Goregutter named Lula

Obviously a huge dragon, and boulder class fits him so well. Also considered gentle giants.

Tech- Stormcutter named Havoc

Stormcutters look like Tech, and can do the “Tech Turn”.

Hunter- Rumblehorn named Marauder

Tracker class dragon perfect for Hunter.

Crosshair- Triple Strike named Razor

I was trying to pick between a Deathgripper and a Triple Strike but I think I just like Triple Strikes better.

Echo- Dramillion named Arc

Super stealthy! And Arc bc of Arc troopers.

Omega-Chimeragon named Batcher

So Chimeragons are a hybrid of Sentinals and Bewilderbeasts apparently? It’s from one of the games. I wanted to give Omega a rarer dragon for lore reasons. Also the look like Batcher so it fits!

Gonna do more on this au soon too hehehehe >:D I’m also really practicing drawing humans more LMAO I PROMISE I CAN DO GOOD PEOPLE ART TODAY WAS JUST NOT MY DAY FOR THAT

Anyways yeah I think Bad Batch Wednesdays should live on by way of artists and writers and whoever else just posting content on Wednesdays :D

third life winner Grian, sun-kissed and sand-caked, lightly battered, slightly bloody, having just won the series, guilt-ridden with scar's blood still dripping from his knuckles, teetering on the edge of the mountain, choking out apologies to the sky.

secret life winner Scar, regaining his memories from pervious seasons, walking through third life like a hazy mirage, a cape embroidered with lilacs and roses hanging from his shoulders.

He finally sees Grian in the desert light for the first time in years, the fondness and heartbreak hitting him all at once. He frowns as Grian cries and sobs, muttering apologies and regrets to the empty space around him.

Scar is unable to reach for him as he takes that final step off the ledge.

tis here!! My stupid little beta pdbc comic!! UHHHHH

additional ramblings because I don’t know how to stop yapping:

I know the ending is extremely abrupt but honestly? I can’t even lie I think it’s funnier and somehow more in character that way. There is no way in hell he’d question what just happened he’d just lay on the floor and say “alas!” As if that is in any way is a proper response to what just happened. So no apologies for that, I genuinely think the ending is amazing and won’t hear anything else. Alas.

I WAS REALLY SCREWED OVER WITH THE TEN IMAGE MOBILE LIMIT SO THE PACING IS VERY IFFY!! That alongside the fact I wanted to get this out as quickly as possible to gauge opinions and such—therefore making this much less detailed than I’d like to have made it, yes that’s my own fault I know—means that I couldn’t properly show what the briar zome is like (HEARTBREAKING). It’s a lot more spacious and unending than what’s shown here. In this it only looks like you’re there for a few minutes but experiences there can last up to a week. There are also a lot more thorns and spiked vines, it’s just that, like I said, I wanted to get this posted quickly and coloring in all of those spikes probably took more time than some of the drawings themselves. Had I made this as accurate to canon as possible, it would be much more visually cluttered. The briar zome is VERY hard to traverse because almost everything is covered in thorns (hence the name). Also worth noting that although it’s seemingly wintry there, there’s no actual temperature in the briar zome which is why pumpkin daddy is not fucking freezing to death (you have to look DAPPER when you’re illegally eating crabs)

This technically isn’t canon. This is a mishmash of all of the stuff I have about the briar zome, but in canon it’s all much more spread out, e.g. the eyes weren’t discovered until a few trips in when they actually bothered trying to figure out if/where the briar zome ends, in which BAM they found a buncha eyes!! Speaking of the eyes, their official names are Sotes, and where they’re found is called the “Eyes Rink” (GET IT!!! EYES!!! ICE!!! GET I-💥💥💥)

you’re probably wondering what the Miika chimp incident is, which is a fair thing to be wondering, however I will not be elaborating because I think it’s funnier that way. sorry (I am not at all sorry)

AND THE TIIIIIIME yes indeed the time works differently there. As one could. Probably guess by the wack-ass watch positions. The briar zome does in fact have its own time system that’s displayed differently than most would be used to. Alas, I had to cut that part short because I realized I was quickly running out of pages and I really wanted space to draw some of those beautiful beautiful eyeballs. I has this whole lecture about different types of watch hand designs and their names but that was unfortunately cut for time (ironically)

anyway uh. hope this was somewhat enjoyable? *EXPLODES*

twelfth night is not a Shakespeare I have read or seen but now I’m a bit terrified of ever consuming it. I definitely would never touch that audio drama with a 10 foot pole though (so so tempting. I might give in)

i was normal about twelfth night and held many normal emotions about it i really liked it for being this fun very messy queer drama until i listened to david tennant malvolio which ruined my life i cannot stress enough all of my evil derangements are because of david tennant malvolio if he had not done any of that i would have been FINE

Final kiddo conversation with Rion, who is waiting outside of the bedroom door when they emerge from talking with Tate:

"No arguing," she says firmly, without preamble. Without the other children watching, her strained tone is less theatrically angry. She just sounds terribly tired, and her eyes lock on Jaheira's face and stay there with desperate intensity. "Just tell me you're well."

"I--" Jaheira opens her mouth to brush off the question, and then stops. "... am well," she finishes. Again that quiet tone that Rakha has never heard before, the same one she used with Tate.

Rion relaxes. "And Minsc?" Her eyes flick to the berserker, whose broadshouldered form is taking up most of the bedroom doorway.

"Boo is also very well!" Minsc says brightly. "And happy to see *you*, Rion."

Rion smiles faintly. "And I him. Enough that I'll let him keep his lumbering, sweaty steed inside."

She leaves Minsc and Rakha both puzzling over the meaning of this joke and turns her attention matter-of-factly back to Jaheira. "So. This cult. What's our plan?"

Jaheira grimaces. "I'm not fool enough to think I can change your mind. But if you're staying, I don't want you taking up arms. There are other ways to fight.

"Really," Rion says skeptically. "Like what?"

(A/N: This one's a bit interesting because I'm not sure Rakha has a good answer. :P She is not well-equipped to consider solutions to problems other than violence, and Jaheira really has no particular practical reason to let her answer the question at all.

This leads me to wonder if, in Rakha's case, Jaheira hesitates long enough to let her answer as a Teaching Moment in her ongoing efforts to guide Rakha towards the path of light.)

Jaheira shoots Rakha an expectant look, and Rakha blinks, for a moment uncertain what to say. She's immediately conscious that her instinctive response - ignore her, be ready for violence - is not the correct answer, but she isn't sure what is, and she thinks for a long moment with deep concentration.

"Healers," she finally says cautiously, just shy of an upturned question at the end of the word. She sees Jaheira give a subtle nod. "This place could serve as a hospital," she goes on, a little more confidently.

Rion narrows her eyes thoughtfully. "A fair point," she says, which sends a strange little flicker of gratification through Rakha's mind. "Though I'll leave the herb-lore to Jord. I was always better at breaking bones than mending them."

Jaheira smiles ruefully. "I remember. The very reason Jord had so many patients to hone his craft on."

There's a long, strained pause. Rion opens her mouth to say something, seems to think better of it, closes her mouth again, and sighs. "If I have to stay home and babysit," she says gruffly, in place of whatever she was going to say, "then it's *your* job to make sure there's still a home to look after. Take what you need and we'll do the grand reunion when you come back for good."

She straightens - a motion Rakha has seen from Jaheira when she is shoving aside her own emotions in favor of the work that needs to be done. "So - lovely as it is to have you back, mother--" she says, a little too curtly, "go away. You have work to do."

Jaheira mimics the motion, her shoulders drawing back, her head inclining in a slight nod. "Aye, aye, commander," she says gravely.

A pause. Rion starts to turn away, and then Jaheira bursts out, "Wait."

Rion hesitates, looks back over her shoulder expectantly.

Jaheira's jaw works for a moment. "One more thing. There are doppelgangers on our trail. One even went so far as to steal my face."

Rion looks at her thoughtfully for a moment, then smiles faintly. "Hm. All right, then. If you turn up looking for hugs and kisses, I'll make sure to shoot first."

A slightly sad smile touches Jaheira's lips as well. "That's my girl," she murmurs.
