When Solas says
"I was trying to determine some way to show you what you mean to me."
and
"For now, the best gift I can offer is the truth."
it makes me cry SO MUCH because that "for now" really implies he was planning ahead, that he was hoping Lavellan would accept his full identity, and they would stay together.
That "for now" means he already had more gifts in mind, more ways to show her what she meant to him. In that moment, in that glade, under those circumstances, he could only give her the truth she deserved - so words, knowledge, love and respect in the form of a spoken revelation -, but what about later? What was his next gift to her going to be? Something tangible, like a love memento, something precious to wear and show everyone? More knowledge and wisdom to share with her? Memories and scenes from his old life?
Weekes said Solas was ready to tell her the truth, forget about his duty, and lose himself in Lavellan, but chickened out at the last second. So I'm really curious to know what kind of future he envisioned in those blissful last moments before he lost his courage - what other presents and displays of love he was ready to give to her.
#dragon age#da:i#solas#solavellan#also i wonder how he planned that whole conversation#probably repeating his lines over and over again#hoping she would understand and accept him#and then what?#forget about the orb and the veil and apologize for everything?#or hoping she would agree with his goals?#and then bam#he realizes he can't do that to her#“then you would carry the same burden i do”#“i cannot do that to you vhenan”#AAAAAAH THE WAIT...... IT'S KILLING ME

Bonus 13: Beware the Grapes of Wrath.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#wen qing#wen ning#WWX's main weapon as the Yiling patriarch is considered to be 'Wen Ning' - which makes sense as far as the whole necromancer thing goes.#However...That *is* Wen Qing's beloved baby brother!#In her perspective WWX skipped town for a few days (or so) and took WN with him#only for them both to show up bloodied and in a state of disarray.#There's no way he told her he was going out to duel Jiang Cheng. For several reasons.#He doesn't want to involve her in his messes anymore than he already has.#It's less that she would try and stop him and more so that he honestly wouldn't even think to say something about it to her.#WQ and him aren't partners in this situation. He actually openly disregards her opinions several times.#Wei Wuxian's emotional distance from everyone around him is a big part of this arc.#Like all good tragedies...his biggest flaw is his hubris. He doesn't *need* anyone when he's so capable on his own.#He doesn't need to ask permission when obviously this is the only way forwards.#He has to do it all on his own! No one else needs to be involved!#And if you've been in the position of realizing you have a problem of toxic self-reliance - you know how harmful this mindset is.#It's why it's so satisfying to see WWX in his 'new' life start to let other's share his burdens.#I will die on the hill of 'love means carrying each other's weight. All a burden means is that I can give you support and you support me.'#YLLZ is less 'competent and sexy' and more 'depressed and can't see it'.#Another lovely nod to the main theme here is how he starts leaning more and more into the rumours about him.#Though we are also still confronted with how these rumours fail to actually live up to reality.#Rumour has it the Yiling Patriarch is undefeatable. What a shame if that rumour turned out to be untrue!

#satoru longing to save suguru even after all those yrs#carrying the burden until the end of his days to share the ones he couldnt when suguru was suffering on his own#and suguru actually feeling the same when he couldnt save satoru from him#that even after his own death he only brought him suffering#jujutsu kaisen#satosugu#gojo satoru#geto suguru#jjk fanart#theres only angst in jjk we all cant be saved

Thinking about how Diavolo’s feelings transcend time and how in the Nightbringer UR+ card Demon Lord’s Castle Tour this conversation happens.
When asked, “Do you wish to see your father?”
Diavolo responds:
“I suppose I do . . .” isn’t the typical reaction to how a child would feel about wanting to see their parent. Especially when said parent has essentially been in a coma for a year.
Along with how Diavolo describe his father.
It makes more sense why when you learn in Lesson 56 how Diavolo was treated by him growing up.
Diavolo can tell when others are lying but is unable to understand his father’s intentions.
Diavolo mentions that he lived a very sheltered life growing up. That from a young age his father never allowed him a chance to talk to anyone outside the castle.
His childhood friend was Mephistopheles. A demon literally RAISED to be his friend. Putting a barrier between the two because Mephistopheles would put Diavolo on a pedestal.
The isolating childhood he experienced riddled with his strict father constantly scolding him.
Despite everything MC is so important to him he wants to see his father again so we can meet.
#Demons and Humans can’t get married even in the present so it adds an extra layer him wanting to introduce us.#There’s a lot more you could add onto this (please do I’d love to hear other’s thoughts).#Like how Diavolo’s childhood affected him just look at the way he describes himself:#“The truth is I am a child in a way. A child who spends his time alone and never gets to do anything interesting.”#A lot of Diavolo’s poor behavior while not excused comes from his childhood.#How Diavolo admits to using his position to force others to do what he wants. Along with how he doesn’t like sharing.#Diavolo’s insecurities in his friendships with others.#Mainly Lucifer and Barbatos which makes sense with how they happened.#IE Forcing Barbatos to become his butler and the oath/deal with Lucifer regarding Lilith.#It’s clear Diavolo is very lonely and carrying a heavy burden.#I like that MCs presence is helping him change into a better person.#Also I don’t think Diavolo hates his father their relationship just isn’t good and very complicated.#Diavolo is such a wonderful character if you have any in-depth posts about him please tag me I’d love to read them!!!#I AM FILLED WITH SAPPY THOUGHTS ABOUT DIAVOLO TONIGHT!!!!#Obey Me#Obey Me Spoiler#Obey Me Nightbringer#OMSWD#Obey Me Diavolo#Diavolo#MaddyMajolish#Is it obvious I can’t sleep because I’m riddled with Blorbo thoughts

Just thinking about Howzer saying "I will not abandon my squad. They are good men. I have to try to get through to them."
Just thinking about how deep this must have hit Hunter for him to stop and hesitate, looking back at Howzer -
- and then Hunter does leave with his squad, but I also think he senses Crosshair's attention being on them as he turns back to look -
- and I just keep thinking about how conflicted Hunter must have been all season long, but I imagine the inner conflict reaches a peak here.
Because he is abandoning a member of his squad. He hasn't been able to get through to Crosshair - granted, the last time they met wasn't exactly conducive to deep conversation anyway, but Crosshair, the brother Hunter remembers, was a good man.
And yet... Hunter has to look out for the other four members of his squad, too. He can't abandon them, either. As he told Omega earlier, "Being strategic means knowing your limitations." And he can't risk everyone else, all the other good people on his squad, in a mad attempt to blast through endless Imperial resources and kidnap an angry brother who has given precious little indication that he wants to return to the squad anyway.
I do think Hunter is angry at himself, and at Crosshair; but mostly I think he is hurt, and confused, and uncertain, and trying to weigh the risks and figure out how best to protect the family - including Crosshair.
And I think Hunter spends a lot of time up until Crosshair returns trying to figure out how he could have gotten through to him.
And it just breaks my heart 💔
#the bad batch#star wars the bad batch#tbb hunter#tbb crosshair#tbb analysis#hunter carries such a heavy burden as the leader#and he does an admirable job#but i don't think he realizes it

Still not used to this life or death situation stuff. That's good, 'cause I'm not either. You never get used to it.
#swedit#starwarsedit#starwarsblr#star wars#poe dameron#flashing gif#nym.gifs#thinking about how in the stuff pre tfa he just. he wants to be a /pilot/ he wants to be a /soldier/ because he doesn't want to have to#carry the burden of the moral calls and the weight of so many people's lives in his hands#especially when strategies go /wrong/#'point me at the bad guys and let me do my thing'#he works alone SO often.#and there's something so genuinely tragic that poe's just. /so/ good at what he does that he ends up catapulting himself into the position#that. he didn't want.#and the thing that /pushed/ him into joining the resistance to prevent from happening again (losing someone he cares about under his#command /keeps/ happening). and worse he ends up in these positions where he /could/ blame himself for things that /aren't/ his call.#like u know he's got to feel responsible for the village on some level not to mention fuckin /kijimi/#it was /his/ idea to go there#the world should've protected you. instead you've been chosen to protect it.#what an honor. what an injustice.#not all of these fit this theme but mostly i just wanted to focus on his reaction/responses to some of the bigger tragedies in the trilogy#and tbh there's also. plenty more shots.

Hoshina who comes home from work one day to find that his lover, along with her belongings, have gone missing. Not a single letter or note explaining why, but he knows you well enough to have a few guesses already. Three hours have passed and he's still sitting in their his couch thinking about you.
Then a stinging sensation courses through his heart and onto his eyes. You're crying— God, you must be crying. Tears start swelling in his eyes as the realization hits him. He's flooded with guilt as he remembers how you always needed someone to hold you when you cry. But who'll be there for you now that you're alone? It must be because of him, right? Why else would you leave if not for him—why else would you be crying right now? Maybe he'd done something wrong...or maybe you just couldn't take him any longer. Not when he's barely home nowadays due to the spike of Kaiju attacks. And certainly not when he could come home as a cold corpse at any moment. His insecurities are getting to him and he didn't blame you for leaving.
In his weakest moment, Hoshina bolts out the door and makes his way to a nearby train station. Maybe if he drowned himself in his work, he wouldn't have to feel the pain that threatened to creep into his professional facade.
My, oh my. Had Hoshina stayed in your shared home for longer, maybe he would've found the positive pregnancy test lying in the bathroom's trashbin.
#yeah a completely new troupe made it's way to my mind#you had a pretty generic reason (in this troupe) for leaving#not wanting to burden him with a mini Hoshina when he's already carrying the weight of the world#I'll definitely explore this troupe more#someone please explore this troupe with me#if you think that pregnancy part came out of nowhere#now you know how I feel when it randomly violated my thoughts#as I was brushing my teeth#hoshina soshiro x reader#hoshina x reader#free4all🖊️

What's Transformers ARK Elita like?
I'm so glad you asked teeheehee :]
Elita, one of the most feared among the autobot ranks. Luckily for the Decepticons, she's usually too busy running the whole army to show her face in battle often. But when she does... it's almost a promised victory for the Autobots. Her paint is the color of Energon... an usually graphic choice for an autobot. She's the oldest sister of the trio (Consisting of Arcee and Chromia) and considered the strictest and coldest of them.
Her objective is to protect her family and her people, by any means necessary. She views Optimus as a kind and inspiring leader... but sometimes she thinks he's far too soft. She often makes the hard decisions that he cannot, and takes over command when a more objective approach is needed. The two disagree frequently, but are also very aware that they make up for each other's weaknesses. Optimus is able to show empathy and compassion when Elita cannot bring herself to. In another world... they are each other's perfect other half.
Unfortunately in this world, there is a war to be won, and that leaves no room for pleasantries.
#Elita 1 is literally just if eldest daughter syndrome was a person#Elita 1#Transformers#Transformers ARK#TFARK#Tf ARK Elita 1#Transformers Elita 1#Transformers fanart#Transformers au#tf fanart#maccadam#Transformers one#As soon as she gets undoomed by the narrative the wedding is back on#she's not a heartless monster... even if many believer her to be one#some consider her an “autobot with the heart of a decepticon”#they are kinda mean to her tbh#but she just cares SO much which is why she is the way she is#she carries a lot of burdens :[#her sisters love her so much though#and those closest to her know just how caring she can be (even if its while shes yelling at you)#Optimus feels so much guilt for putting this responsibility on her but shes deadass the only one strong enough to handle it#He loves her so much but will probably never tell her because he refuses to put that on her too#im not normal about them theres so much i could say oh my god

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#the ‘damn before marriage’ followed by a bridal hoist came to me in a vision at 3am#i scrapped the prev comic and remade it into what you see here#dont worry we will cover the fact lwj admits to knowing wwx is in mxy’s body#I’m sacrificing scenes for the sake of mirth & giggles & pacing#ok lets talk about being carried. because it carries so much weight (aha)#to be carried is to rely on other people.

We see a lot of postwar fics with Bucky being the broken one since his breakdowns are so large and visible in the show, but we so need more content of Buck being the broken one, after the war is over. If we focus on him in the show he’s just as bad off as Bucky but he’s better at hiding it. Usually Bucky would be the one to really see through Gale and understand him but in the stalag his own pain blinds him and he can’t see. (Good way to explore someone else being the one who sees). But look at Gale’s eyes in this photo.
(And to those of you who are showing this side of Buck in your content, especially postwar, bless you and thank you so much 🥺)
#mota#masters of the air#can we talk more about this please#Buck is the suffer in silence one to try to stay strong for his men#he’s taking on there troubles too#the burdens are worse because he’s alone in carrying them#plus the pain of seeing Bucky in suffering too#what happens when the war is over and the facade isn’t forced on#him anymore#buck x bucky#clegan
