HI HELLO GOOD MORNING I WAS GOING THROUGH C3E100 AGAIN AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T POST ABOUT THIS ALREADY

c3e100 @ 2:17:29 "You laughed at me for supporting her. But never was there a braver moment than when she came to you. And I knew what you would do, and I knew that she must try. And I will not abandon her now, just as I wish we had not abandoned you, and you us."

okay so should i just throw my phone across the room now or what

was that voice crack on "knew what you would do" purposeful because it is fucking me all the way up

and then Asmodeus just LEAVING ugghhhhh this trio is going to be the death of me

Your Dirk and Jake are incredible, and seeing your art always makes my day. Seriously, the way you draw Dirk is maybe my favorite interpretation of him! You do both of them such justice.

Thank you, I've been drawing them non-stop (almost) every day for over a year, while my Dirk has stayed the same my Jake def got WAY better.

Here's a collage of some of my favorite bits of both dudes.

(super deep and sincere thank you to the discord server bc they made me more comfortable in drawing Jake. everyone is always on about mischaracterizing Dirk but Jakey is a real doozy to handle if you think about him for longer than 5 seconds)

Guess who just started watching Downfallllll

[arabella-strange]

Something about the Everlight being the last to relinquish her mortal form

Something about her choosing a full mortal life where she allowed herself not just to live among mortals or to be worshiped by them but to experience their lives as one of them (almost)

Did she hold out last to give up her form, with the vivid sense-memory of everything she had felt with her briefly mortal body? Was she thinking of her skin and hair that had been touched by her husband? Was she so reluctant because she didn't want to destroy the arms and lips and hips that had hugged and kissed and been there to support her children?

Did she choose to let Death embrace that form, rather than divinely ascending, because it was the closest to what her mortal self might otherwise have had?

Idk Ashley I cried and the slingshot wrecked me and here we are 💫

Posting doodles from watching ep1 and ep2 of Downfall. :p

[shireduchess]

listen...listen... idk man i didn't expect downfall to hit me as hard as it did. but i'm at the end of ep101 and i have cried more maybe than during any other part of this story...and what a story within a story downfall is

it's about faith, the faith the mortals have in the gods and that the gods have in mortals, the faith in their creations, in and for their love of each other. and there is something so moving and intoxicating and emotional about that depiction, of gods deciding to become mortals to achieve an end goal, but of learning how much mortals love and feel and suffer

just the love between them all, everyone depicted. the wildmother and the lawbearer... the emissary.... trist and ayden, the everlight and the dawnfather... fucking just....everyone

idk man this sort of tragic story really just gets me so so so fucking bad, it hits me in such a unique way

my secret samol piece for @inventorpaige !! sorry i’m posting this a little late…..

okay the other thing i realized that like Gets me about this whole "found family disguised as a spy show" is the way that endo writes twilight (watching the episode twilight plants a bug on yor)

and in later episodes when franky asks twilight to give him tips on how to land a girl (franky maybe try treating them like a person first), twilight creates dialogue trees for him, telling him that he's come up with perfect responses for anything she's bound to say

which, by itself is fine. i've mentioned this before, it's very fitting, given parker from leverage learns to grift like that and generally be a person in public when she wants to put the effort in (which is usually when they're on a con)

but in the context of how the manga/anime is written is really bad. bc like you can never trust anything twilight has to say. esp when he's speaking to yor and anya with words of encouragement. bc 9 times out of 10 his inner monologue is he needs to keep up the happy family appearances for the sake of operation strix. this is most common when he's addressing anya, but it's not a stretch to assume he's also thinking this when he addresses and encourages yor.

listen, i know they hint at it in very small, and often subtle ways throughout the show. like they did so in this very episode. the difference is, we are never shown twilight trusting yor or anya with the truth.

whereas in a show like leverage, the reason that the found family aspect works so well is the fact that the team comes to unequivocally trust each other. they may not reveal everything about themselves to the others, which we have seen time and time again, but they all know that if shit hits the fan, they will be there for each other. it is ride or die for them, and their pasts don't necessarily matter unless it comes back to bite them in a way that jeopardizes them bc they care about the wellbeing of each other. there is not a single shadow of a doubt that they do not care or love each other.

they are of the same ilk, so they can trust each other with trade secrets. which builds general trust in the team. which, over time, can lead to the leverage family we know and love today

twilight doesn't trust yor or anya. and yor doesn't trust twilight to tell him abt her assassin job. anya doesn't trust twilight or yor about her psychic powers, or bond's. and yuri doesn't trust yor to tell her about his position as secret police. the things that tie them together are brittle. and after being spoiled on leverage, i honestly can't believe that they would ever forge stronger bonds (so to speak) that would make this found family feel real until they learned to trust each other.
