Comfort (BtF Chapter 5)
“The return of the wings!” Pearl cheered. Grian sat on a stool, swinging his legs awkwardly. “Oh you know I always loved them as a child.” The two of them were in Pearl’s colorful living room, having wanted to discuss this new development.
“Yeah…”
“What’s wrong?” She asked, jumping up from her couch, having sensed the glum tone of voice from her brother. He took a deep breath.
“It’s just - it drags up a lot of childhood memories that…”
“Aren’t the best?” Grian nodded.
“And also I totally forgot how to take care of them, and I don’t want to lose my wings again.”
“I know, it’s hard. But it’s always been you and me, against the world.” She rested her left hand on his shoulder and swung her other arm out as if gesturing to an audience. He just sighed.
“I’m just so tired. Too much has happened recently.”
“I know, sesame.”
“Don’t,” Grian stood up, puffing his wings out indignantly, “call me sesame!”
A silence.
Then they both collapsed into giggles.
“Okay, now I know that to cheer you up, I can just call you sesame.”
“Literally, if you call me that again I will send Scar after you.” Grian threatened once the laughter had subsided.
“I don’t think that would cause you any more comfort,” Pearl teased.
“Ah well.”
“Get over here,” she said suddenly. Grian raised his eyebrows but didn’t deny, coming over to the couch and plopping down. Pearl pulled him in so that his head was resting on a pillow. Gently she began brushing through his wings, taking care not to mess them up even more.
“They’re just like I remembered, except a whole lot bigger.”
“Hmmf.” It was not a sound of indignation, more like contentment.
“Are you actually comfortable right now?” Pearl asked suddenly. Usually she didn’t get to see the more vulnerable part of her brother, and it was usually the mischievous exterior that was shown to the world - not that that personality wasn’t enjoyable.
“What? Nooooo.” Grian sat up, a faint flush spreading across his face.
“Don’t lie to me,” Pearl said, a little teasingly. Grian shrugged.
“Okay, maybe. You brushing my wings feels very comforting, I don’t know why. Your fingers are cool, i guess. Temperature-wise.”
“Then get over here and let me give you some sibling love.” Reluctantly (or maybe not so much) Grian lay back down, closing his eyes and letting Pearl brush her fingers through his matted feathers, both murmuring soft conversation until they fell into a comfortable silence.

idk if anyone actually made a fic of this but uh............
i'd be so down to read an angst fic relating to sebastian and his religious belief
sebastian's half-chilean, and chile's biggest religion is roman catholicism. i'd imagine he grew up with his mom teaching him how to pray and all that, as well as being an active member of the church. perhaps he still believes in his god, maybe not as much as before due to college, but he still actively prays and what-not.
how would he deal with urbanshade contradicting his beliefs? the pentagram plastered all over the blacksite just uneases him in some way, but never thinks too much about it. it's not his place to ask, after all.
would he be praying as the doctors and scientists performed on him? genetically mutilating him for the purposes of science – destroying how god intended the human body to be. imagine his prayers for forgiveness for even participating in something like this, even unwillingly.
even in his monstrous form, would he still be blaming himself for how he looks? i mean, he's no longer molded into what his god deems as human – artificially modified, unethically interfering with the divine natural.
what about when he's being hunted down by the player? how he would cry for his mother's warmth once more, while begging for forgiveness for all of his sins – intentional or not – to a god that didn't even hear his pleas.
#ramblecho#ohhhh i need someone to cook this one up chat#and also cook because i'm genuinely hungryyyy#i don't actually remember much about catholicism. it's been years since i practiced it (surprise!!)#I HOPE THIS ISN'T OFFENSIVE IN ANY WAY I JUST WANT THE RELIGIOUS ANGST#pressure#roblox#roblox pressure#pressure roblox#sebastian solace#sebastian solace pressure#sebastian pressure#pressure sebastian solace#pressure sebastian#sebastian solace x reader#hurt/comfort#angst#angst potential#whump#whump writing

just now. imagining percy before learning of his father as a god. remembering nothing of him but a face he couldn't name. a face he and his father shared. percy often wondering if they were similar in other ways. if his father liked wrapping his arms around mom while she packed s'mores for the campfire like he did. if his father liked long car rides to the beach while mom sang to whatever was playing on the radio like he did. if his father liked running along the beachside shore while the water crashed against his feet like he did. if the reason his father was lost at sea was because he wanted to immerse himself in all the ocean had to offer. if the waves were so captivating, he'd dive underneath the surface and search to his heart's content. if the reason he was lost was because he wanted to find himself. if faces were any indication, percy didn't know who he was. maybe his father felt that way too.
#poseidon indeed has felt that way#often wondering if his son scrunches his eyebrows together when confused like he does#if his son struggles to keep his emotions at bay but tries his best to practice restraint like he does#often wondering if his son wishes to explore the depths of the ocean to escape from the fleeting life humanity has to offer#(the pain of loving someone you'll never meet)#he hopes sally has raised him in a way he couldn't#he wishes he had someone to pray to#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo textpost#pjo#pjo headcanon#pjo angst#pjo hurt#percy jackson#poseidon#percy and poseidon#percy and poseidon angst#both men grieving a relationship they never got but desperately wanted#to love like breathing underwater

had a Thought about skrimm/barnabos (offhandedly mentioned very light/not plot related spoilers for eps 1 through 8)
so obviously barnabos has his thing with the woman in the shell right? calling her lover and all — it’s very clear they’re in a romantic relationship. it feels to me like it’s also kind of a warlock-patron or follower-god dynamic given her nature as some kind of otherworldly being (giving barbabos boons/abilities, appearing as fish, etc)
so imagine when barbabos catches feelings for skrimm and realizes it…how could he betray his lover, his muse, his goddess, even, like that? what would she think if she knew? she’d abandon him, certainly, and she would be justified. what is he to do? i mean, he might just be reading too deep into it and it’s just friendship. that comforts him a bit. but a part of him knows what he feels and it horrifies him. he loves the woman in the shell and devoted himself fully to her. but was that love anything more than admiration now? when had his romantic feelings for her dissipated and weakened enough to let someone else in? and skrimm, lazy slacker and sleazy conman skrimm, of all people? maybe if he can convince that nagging part of him, neither skrimm or his lover will learn of this sin, and he’ll forget all about it. he’s not sure he can. he tells himself it’ll pass eventually, as all things do and manages to believe it
and skrimm would react similarly, too. it just started as a joke by queenie and him exploiting a loophole (and barnabos’ assumption of him meaning well) to not do any work…he should’ve known to keep his guard up, to stop himself from getting too close — closer than he already was to all of them. in such a dangerous situation, attachment was a disadvantage. sticking together and being friends benefits the party, of course. more people, more skillsets, means more chances of survival. but love messes with skrimm’s head, and he’s not the smartest already — who’s to say he won’t sacrifice himself for barnabos’ sake? its a scary thought, and its even scarier that he doesn’t have a strong aversion to the idea. he has to get rid of these feelings somehow and he will figure it out…hopefully
#hngsksj#skrimm/barnabos has sooo much angst potential#i had this funky (not really) little thought and let it fester and now here we are#idk what im talking about really im not even a third of the way through icebound yet#but! it’s fun to think about#im sure this has been thought about before but i havent seen it (if anyone has read a good non spoilery skrimm/barnabos fic…….gimme)#id love to write something exploring this concept but if i drop my current fic ill never finish it#also shoutout to skrimm for being the king he is. hes dressed in practically rags but still has piercings and a fancy dagger#gayest (very affectionate of course) goblin in avantris fr#legends of avantris#icebound#skrimm stabbaskotch#barnabos the dreadwake

Chapter 28 of Nothing Ventured (aka Mimic Chapter, part 2 of 2) is out now! Featuring more mimic, Marcille and Chilchuck friendship moments, and a crochet hook.
I feel like there ought to be some sort of warning for panic attack or dissociation or something, but there's really just a small hint of it near the end of the chapter.
#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#chilaios#laichil#dunmeshi#I possibly use the term darning incorrectly don't come for me#way more descriptions of clothing repair than I anticipated#I just love Chilchuck casually sewing in the background#at last a male character in a historic fantasy thing who doesn't scoff at sewing as womens work#it's a practical skill! it's something he would need to know how to do! more men sewing in historical fiction!#anyway#I got up early to bring you all this chapter of angst#more angst coming don't worry

hi 13 second clip that i will be obsessed with for years to come because mikksy and lombo are doing mikksy and lombo things in the bg as they usually do how are you doing
theres something about mikksy looking over to his left and spacing out but when he sees long brown hair in his periphery he turns towards it, sees lombo struggling to pass off the cup and stares at him until lombo comes his way. the pining is palpable. i can feel it from here. he has the targetting program of a turret hes locking on.
also someone seems to either dropped a hat(?) or something of that nature because right as lombo steps forward to where mikksy is he bends down to get it but mikksy seeing him, also makes to reach for it but lombo seems to have it covered so he just bows like a chicken for a bit because his gentlemanly code intiated (rare sight) seeing a beautiful man bend down to retrieve an object...
and then after lombo comes up he immediately gets an arm around him and ushers him into his side. MANS GOT A FULL TOOTHY GRIN ON SEEING LOMBO. TH- AND HE REALISES HOW BIG HE MUST BE SMILING BECAUSE HE JUST CLOSES HIS MOUTH AND TRIES TO PLAY OFF THE FACT HE DIDN'T JUST HAVE THE GOOFIEST GRIN ON HIS FACE.
THE WAY LOMBOS CHEEK IS SO SMUSHED INTO HIS SHOULDER HE BARELY REACHES. PERFECT SIZE TO SNUGGLE INTO THE COLLARBONES. IM SORRY WHERE IS PLAYGROUND BULLYING PRETENSE??? SO WE'VE LOST THAT. WE'RE JUST GONNA COURT EACH OTHER NOW. WE'VE FINALLY ADMITTED TO THE ELEPHANT IN YHE ROOM AND WE WILL BE ACTING ON OUR FEELINGS HONESTLY. IS THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING. IT ONLY TOOK BOTH OF YOU BEING DRUNK. OKAY.
Panthers Championship Parade | 6.30.24
#niko mikkola#ryan lomberg#florida panthers#btw this was the cats concert livestream that was used as a live feed on the displays on the beach venue#and i was trying to look it up again but aparently cats removed the live from their official yt#im in mourning we've lost such a good archive of the whole concert just so they could post a recap and mini videos of the speeches#THEY PRIVATED IT MOTHERFU-#anyways back to your regularly scheduled programming#mikksy whos always quick to tease lombo its practically his first instinct instead gets rewired to treat him preciously#the way lombo snuggles in his side when mikksy wraps an arm and drags him in.. thats lombos place...#toothy grin is when you know mikksys down bad#he usually tries to downplay all his smiles with little twitches of his lips and tries to school his face#but big grin? oh terribly in love#theyre so drunk oh my god#all it takes is a little alcohol to sweeten them up...#can you IMAGINE what the hell they did at e11even oh my god#anyways they were acting so sweet and the next day lombo signed with the flames so you can imagine the angst in that#speedrunning their relationship and then lombo is running away across the border... call that a classic case of cold feet.#or really quick feet lmao#there is a story here that my brain is filling in and oh OH#girls its really just you and me on this splish splash waterlog ride get comfortable

rewatching kuroko' basketball cause why the hell not and kise longingly looking at kagami and kuroko making eye contact is gotta be the gayest shit so far lmao!!!
like kise clearly still has strong feelings for kuroko like my guy went all the way to seirin to ask kuroko to join him. that's just so pathetic but also so heartwarming because like clearly, the polycule broke up(the generation of miracles, i mean), and obviously, kuroko wasn't at fault so he goes and asks kuroko to join him cause he thinks that him and kuroko still have a chance only to find out that kuroko replaced him with kagami?? that's so painful!!
#the angst potential#is just soo goood#and him clearly overcoming that during the practice game is even more beautiful lmao#plus midorima getting his current boyfriend to take hime to watch his exes is so funny#like the guy will pretend not to care and then get his bf to carry him all the way to watch a practice game cause his exes are there???!!#make it make sense#but can you tell that i love them??#kuroko no basket#kuroko's basketball#kuroko tetsuya#kagami taiga#kise ryouta#midorima shintarou#knb#they are a polycule and i will never stop saying that lolololol

the shizu-chan song
youtube
just discovered the shizu-chan song by none other than johnny yong bosch. help me
id transcribe if i didnt have a final in 10 hours. maybe when i get back
oh nvm someone already wrote them out
this has similar energy as the bro duet song but like. in reverse bgskjdghjkgsd the no homo is for real
plus an animatic version and amv version because holy hell this is old
#i hear there's another shizuo song by johnny yong bosch according to the comments from 2017 but ill have to wait until yt recommends me it#anyway this makes me want to make a bro duet animatic for shizaya#which would be hilarious because. they're not bros#the ship dynamic of 'two guy best friends who maybe kiss sometimes' is very good but very not shizaya#so the spontaneous love confessions just come out of fucking nowhere during one of their fights#it would be really funny. trust#and probably better than the angst and self-denial festival i would make animating the actual shizu-chan song#i can already see the half-smiling-to-himself half-looks-like-he's-about-to-cry pining semi-regretful izaya face at the last shizu-chan#also. izaya guitar player headcanon hello#if someone can make an artist hobbyist izaya au i can make a guitar hobbyist izaya au#tbh izaya's more spontaneous and i feel like he wouldnt like all the hard work and practice time that goes into learning an instrument#like his main hobbies like parkour and switchblade throwing are stuff he gets to put into practice all the time and are more 'useful'#but instrument practice it's just him and his thoughts and callused hands for hours at a time#feel like he'd get frustrated pretty easily in that way#anyway wouldnt it be hot if izaya played the guitar LMFAOO fuck my characterization and let that man play fingerstyle#izaya playing piano is a somewhat popular headcanon anyway#god i have the worst habit of putting the entirety of my post into the tags. must be the incorrect lov joke bits spilling over#shizaya#shizuo heiwajima#izaya orihara#durarara#Youtube

Why do having friends and navigating relationships remain difficult after you grow up? Do they stay difficult all your life?
Am I bad at relationships? I grew up a lonely neurodivergent kid so it wouldn't be surprising. Are they bad at relationships? Is "let's talk about what's wrong and resolve it if we can" not an effective strategy for saving friendships? I can't guess what's wrong and I can't force my friends to talk to me about it. I hate the thought that I could lose a friend in a way that would have been preventable if I'd known to change my ways.
I've had my share of moments of being a shitty friend, or walking out of someone's life without so much as a word of explanation. So like, I get it. But at the same time, what the hell 😭
Sorry for posting angst on main, please carry on
#i also hate that i have this instinct for walking away#I'm way too willing to let a relationship fade at the first bump in the road#and I'm working really hard not to be that way anymore#but especially when it's someone else walking away from me my instinct is like#understandable have a nice day I'm faking my death running away and starting a new life in Norway#maybe i want to feel like it's my choice or maybe i just have very little tolerance for the pain#i also have the 'isolate myself' instinct#which is i guess the practical manifestation of the 'starting a new life' instinct#but I've ruined friendships by doing that and it's not good for me either#i just feel like building a friendship is so much work compared to how easy it is for either party to walk away#and it always affects me more than i think it will when it ends#🤷#i feel like a teenager posting friendship angst on Tumblr dot com

Following this desire I have to make fluff vs. angst fanart, here is some Ichihime. I challenged myself to finish these in one day of work and really focused on using color/lighting to shift the mood. It was fun, though maybe not the easiest to tell what's going on, heh. I really enjoyed listening to Find You by Zedd (feat. Matthew Koma and Miriam Bryant) and Feel So Close by Calvin Harris while working on the the first image. The second image I wasn't listening to anything, oh well.
Content warning for mild blood on this second image.
#ichihime#my fanart#fluff#angst#fluff vs. angst#lighting practice#color practice#cw: mild blood#who got injured?#I leave it up to your wonderful imaginations#falling through the sky#in a romantic way#and in a tragic way#do you prefer fluff or angst?#quick art
