#before he met me

i really couldnt imagine being born anywhere but California but I think that's how everyone feels about the place they grew up

doing this one day marvelling at the oak tree out front where I was renting in Oakland, poor dying oak tree with the parasitic vine exploding everywhere... in appreciation mode I noticed a point of light flitting around the oak tree like a hummingbird would, and even darting among the leaves of the tree, like a hummingbird that just smoked 12 hits of crackcocaine and/or meth, but it's a point of light, and it don't mind me, for 10 seconds I'm like yo this can't be, "but captain we're staring directy at it!" but no, it goes against all I knew...but yet still I stare at this lil light creature. I go back and forth like that in my head so many times so fast, it starts a buzzing neural pattern, activating crap inside my brain, pineal shit and whatnot...my neural patterns become plasma yin yang shaped...I'm transfixed by now and it's been like 30 seconds of near hypnosis by this light creature on me... 2012 AD yall what a wild year...eventually after 45 seconds of this. it felt like 10 minutes; I had a thought, ah no one's gonna believe this mad ish, so when I pulled out my gen 1 iPhone for a photo sesh this creature flies up and over the horizon in less than a second...didn't just blip out, it physically flew away at UFO speed. Felt foolish yo I should have vibed longer with this lil fella maybe grabbed my guitar...fkn phones man lol

Not to sound like a fuckin hippie but please for the love of god start noticing and appreciating the natural world around you. You don’t have to go hike the entire Appalachian trail or anything and I get that not everyone has access to the outdoors for various reasons, but just fucking … look around you when you’re outside. Notice the sky and the sun and the birds and creatures. Start caring about them. I’m begging you.

when obi-wan said 'I won't kill anakin' and then spent the entire rest of his life following through on that. fuck everyone else obi-wan I respect you yoda should've taken you at your fucking word

'boohoo why did he walk away and not kill anakin this time either even with all the suffering he'll go on to cause if he lets him go' he's told you why very clearly you just didn't believe him I guess!! desperately not killing anakin is obi-wan's main export. it's his universal constant, his life's work, his magnum opus. he gets creative about not killing that guy. he tries to send anakin's teenage twink son to do the job for him because he simply can't. he fucking... peaces out and dies to avoid killing anakin. that's like his whole deal. whether he's right to be like this is another entirely separate conversation but it is what he is

jason, coming back from the dead and seeing tim as robin: how could bruce replace me? how could he give robin to someone else?

dick, who created robin in honor of his dead parents and then had bruce take it away and give it to jason without even asking him:

hunith comes to camelot to visit merlin and absolutely no one can understand how this sweet, loving, caring, polite woman sired The Menace that is merlin. especially uther. he normally doesn’t care for peasants but since arthur is fond of merlin and merlin insists on…being merlin, he’s intrigued by how different hunith is. hunith keeps things civil tho she detests his policies on magic and the whole purge business, but then she sees firsthand how uther treats her son in law- i mean arthur. her anger grows quick and she sees it reflected in merlin but merlin adores arthur and doesn’t want to put his position at arthur’s right hand in jeopardy so he bites his tongue. hunith has no such reservations. she stands before uther, back straight and eyes meeting his. she speaks evenly as she rips him a new asshole for how he treats arthur before socking him in the jaw so hard he stumbles back and has to grab the table to stay on his feet. as shes glaring down at him everyone suddenly sees just how merlin is her son.

made a comic to express the relief and joy sonic felt when talia finally spoke for the first time once she became more comfortable. [read from left to right]

Okay so with the line "the olive tree where we first met" we have two equal hilarious options.

When penelope was sassily like oh I'll marry you if you make a living bed out of this tree right here! Cue penelope stumbling over odysseus very very carefully digging up the tree "because how else is he going to get it to itacha we can't have a wedding bed out in the open in sparta duh"

Or

2. Penelope, knowing that Helen's suitors would soon be arriving to take over her home for a while. Snuck out and went on her own wacky shenanigan filled journey where she scoped out all the major players. Odysseus caught her spying in an olive tree. And when she got back she told Helen she had dibs on the cutie from itacha.

Disgustingly messy and crusty sketch dump but I couldn't get my own terrible theory out of my head and ended up making a bunch of sketches about it. Also at the end a bonus dickbats and Damian doodle bc I was reading an issue of their Batman and Robin run (IDs in Alt)

It's so funny how after the prison reunion in s9 everyone thought Ian and Mickey would have to hide their sexuality and relationship from everyone there, and instead they made their relationship everyone's problem. Like, guards and prisonmates alike begging them to stop bickering, asking around for relationship advice (shoutout to Mickey reaching out to his nazi dad's old friends), and everyone being shocked at how bad their communication skills actually are.

Where angst was expected, we got full Stupid Husbands comedy, and that deserves some love

Whenever I feel bad I remember that Peter B was depressed af but he found joy in shipping Gwen and Miles and that he was the first person in the whole multiverse that shipped them

Two rough sketches about how being one of the only Olympians with one (1) functioning parent probably made Apollo way more prepared for Hermes and Dionysus. Apollo has been the number 1 coolest parent sibling for the past 4000 years.

i have begun to suspect that the question is not "where is zagreus" but rather "when is zagreus"

[asgardian--angels]

keep fighting the good fight against this weird misconception that vik is somehow stoic and unemotional, bestie 🫡 cause idk where the hell people picked that up lol

thank you!!! fandom is always gonna fandom, reducing characters to two-dimensional tropes to make them mix-and-matchable. it's especially unfortunate when the characters we're given in Arcane are so rich and nuanced. the best antidote is to go back and rewatch the source material imo lol.

thanks for enjoying my tags also!! I used to write actual meta many years ago but at some point lost my nerve or lost the time. now it lives in the tags. I don't know many people in the jayvik fandom here, it seems mostly active on twitter, but I'm glad to be noticed by at least a couple people here :) your blog is great!!
