granddad made sourdough bread with a ton of fruit in it, realised he had too much dough for just one bread for himself and grandma, and decided to make two additional tiny loaves for me and my brother

clearly, i have the best granddad ever

QUICK NO ONE'S LOOKING

(See readmore for thoughts, cope, bonus, etc.)

Anyone else up thinking about Ratio's big, strong, secure arms and how warm and all-consuming they could be in a hug or embrace. :/ Anyway

I just wanted to draw them being cute and seizing a sliver of a moment where they could have some PDA silly time without actually having any eyes on them. They're public figures and working adults with very clear boundaries between public persona and private life (to varying degrees of "in a sad way"), so while it may be in Aventurine's nature to constantly blur lines for various agendas and self-preservation (read: play "the flirt" without an aligned goal), I believe that in an actual relationship they'd be fairly private.

It's kind of fun to break your own rules, though! Ratio would be more upset about the consequences, though. He's a little bit of a hypocrite, which is devastating for someone of such discipline, but nobody's perfect.

I'm of the mentality of, "If you're tired of working on it, then just post it!", so here are some fun peripherals that I didn't feel like adding:

Some staff in the background sweeping up to evoke a blended sense of fragile privacy and liminal time.

A laptop on the aquarium/bar/counter because there's something fascinating about seeing people on their work laptops in public.

The rest of their clothes (casual friday)

people like to associate kevjean with ‘the love was there and it didn’t change anything’ but between you and me the love was there and it changed everything. the love was there and it spoke to jean in his mother language. the love was there and it held jean to his promise. the love was there and it sent jean to usc. the love was there and it got him postcards and magnets and notes and stickers and a reason to live. maybe it didn’t light all the corners of jean’s life but it burned bright enough to remind him there was still a way out

I've been doing a lot of reflection as of late, especially after this past class.

This past class was about the Torah and Tanakh in general, and the way the rabbi talked about the commandments (specifically the ten commandments) has made me really reflect on how I interpret them, specifically the fifth commandment, or honoring your mother and father.

This is a commandment I have wrestled with for a long time - in fact, it brought me away from g-d at multiple times. I was severely abused when I was incredibly young by my mother, and I used to feel insulted at the implication that I were to honor her while she got to live a better life. It was hypocritical, in my eyes.

But this rabbi surmised that this particular commandment was because parenthood is an act of creation, something that is like the g-d from which we come from. My realization is this: I don't think we're necessarily meant to take even these commandments literally.

I this particular commandment is more of a call to honor creation - creation is a gift, and like any gift, many people simply will not like it and will discard it. The person who abused me created me, but she did not honor creation. She didn't honor me, but I can still honor it.

I have started to honor creation much more. I'm too young, too unstable, not mature enough to be a father (though I fantasize about it), but I create all the time. I create relationships, I create with my hands through crochet. I create memories, I create my world. And I can honor who I am and where I came from that made me who I am. I've been learning one of the mother tongues of my family (Italian, since part of my family originates there) and it was judaism that inspired me to do this.

I don't think g-d wants me to honor my abuser. I think He wants me to remember the Holy action of creation. When I am a father, that act of creation will be Holy, and indeed, I am already joyful about the thought.

I have seen many people struggle with this particular commandment, but I think this perspective helps me personally. I don't think I ever have to forgive my abusers (plural), and I don't think I am commanded to simply because they happened to be family. I am commanded to recognize the holy, to elevate the mundane. In doing so, I will remember g-d. Through creation, I honor g-d and everything he has done for us, for me, and for our collective people.

* how would the others react if dev got to chance to become a pixie? (If that makes any sense, very sorry if it doesn’t)

They'd be horrified and won't know how to process the information.

In this grim timeline, CosWan would have to come to terms that their youngest son is a walking death flag, while also embracing their new grandchild as much as they had embraced Timmy. It's a whole new terrifying life to navigate, but they'll do their best to navigate it together as family.

I really have to congratulate myself on my exceptional timing with this podcast. I finally listen to the new episode, and Alice goes ‘it’s on the train!!’ right as I’m boarding a train myself. 10/10, no notes.

Feel like something that’s not discussed a lot is how unapologetically sincere the show is. I feel like there’s a been a real push against vulnerability and sincerity in favor of cynicism or sarcasm in media, like there’s a fear that showing characters talking about how much they care about each other will be seen as “cringe” or unnecessary. And Lockwood & co just brazenly wears its heart on its sleeve in a way that feels really refreshing to me.

Please I want to draw your attention to Hani's campaign. @skatehani has contacted me directly and has only one request for all of you. To help him evacuate his family to Egypt. Hani is currently in Belgium doing all he can, to collect the funds. This genocide has cost his family their home and he has also lost his father, making him the sole breadwinner of his family of 10 members. Please the goal is of 50,000 euroes and only 10,279 euroes have been collected so far. Time is crucial and we need more funds. I know all of us are trying our best but we need a little more. Just a little more.

Hani is holding a raffle too. This is the link to his post detailing how it works, on his own blog (please follow him and reblog and donate). I will explain how it works here too:

The raffle is for 5 Palestinian thobes, made in Palestine. They are beautiful and he is giving them away. The condition to participate is to donate 50 euroes and 5 people will be selected for the draw. A donation of 100 euroes would be considered as donating twice and that would be very much appreciated. The end goal is to reach 25 thousand to complete the draw. Gofundme and Paypal both works. All you have to do is donate and then send Hani a screenshot privately.

Remember, Hani is going through very very difficult time now. He will start the draw after he reaches his goal, so it is highly suggested that you follow his blog and be patient with him.

If you are wondering about the legitimacy of this fundraiser, then don't worry. Here is @/fallahifag's post. They have been hunger striking to reach the goal of 500 euroes for Hani. Their last post on this matter had been on May 7. ***very very important

And this is el-shab-hussein's reblog of the raffle Hani is conducting. So please please keep Hani in your thoughts and go follow him and reblog his posts. The link to both is GFM and Paypal is as follows:

Yeah I dunno, I just kind of disliked the pacing of this entire episode. It missed the mark for me at every step.

Maybe its just because I've spent so much time with the two chapters being adapted, but there's just some weight that is missing in almost every scene. The lingering dread and the dark humor and the hope that things will be okay. The hugging too tightly to someone you can't hold on to. The refusal to engage directly with the truth.

The educational bone assembly minigame isn't just for a goof its about how bodies are delicate and incredibly specific in what they do and how they do it. The awe of it. The arduous task of rebuilding that in every detail.

I must ask- will we ever see any of the HoMies siblings?

Because the amount of Chaos I can coming from Cesar and the Tweebs ALONE is sending me into fits, with Hayley and RayRay easily stirring the pot, not to mention Jazz psycho analyzing ALL of them (good god these kids need therapy)

Yeah! Some siblings will make an appearance, though probably in Arc 3 or 4, so it's not gonna be anytime soon. xD

But I can assure you that almost all of them know each other (or about each other), and perhaps even have their own adventures/problems like their hero siblings. Though its nothing too concrete, since its all WIP and I only had a few interesting ideas for some of them for now. ;D

Also, a little bit of technical difficulty with Caesar, since he is, ya know, in another universe, but im working on fixing that lol.
