He’d gladly take any hit if it meant Lucas would be alright. Vy, let him slide off his back, letting his body change, Hayle staying in his form a little longer, floating like a shield ready to intervene.

River: Lucas, listen to me, this is not your fault, if anything, this is my fault. Lucas: No... go away...

River noted the words were slurring, the way he had only heard once before at the concert where he had to intervene. 

River: I can’t leave you like this. Lucas, you’re having a panic attack Lucas: I KNOW! The answer came out as a roar, which just led to even more fear in the young boy and dragon, tears running down their scaled face as they really just wanted all this to end. River: Let me help you Sunlight, please. -he walked closer, just close enough to put his hand on the tip of Lucas’s snout, the effect of his calming spell triggering. - Breathe with me, like we always do. He gave Lucas a sad soft smile, as he noticed the eyes of the dragon were the same as those he had only seen once before. That day at the concert he had seen those eyes, and they were so terrified, so scared and lost, as they were now. 

River: I’m sorry Sunlight, this is all my fault. Lucas: -makes a grumbling sound and tries to move his head away, as his breathing falls slowly in line with River’s, the weather around them changing from thunder, to rain.- You… keep... Saying… His name… River: I know… I’m an idiot... I know... And I am sorry. It’s a shadow in my mind, a ghost… I am so sorry! I truly do love you, Lucas, for you. You are Lucas, the Sunlight of my life, the warmth, the light, the person that makes me happy. 

Their eyes meet again, River gently wiping a tear away from the dragon's cheek, how had he managed to hurt this person so much, when he knew that what he just said was the truth. It was not Rylan, it was not Lucas. It was him, River, and his mind.

River: I’m sorry… Lucas: I don’t... Want this. River: I know, Hayle and Vy are here, to help you change back if you will let them and me? I know I messed up, but I do love you, Lucas, I can’t take what I said back, but I can promise to do better, and you are allowed to get angry with me when I fuck up, okay? Lucas: Okay… 

River put his forehead against the front of Lucas’s, resting it there for just a second, letting a calm flow between them, as Vy and Hayle, both in their human form, walked closer. Vy watched River work with Lucas to help him calm down even more.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

Listen man, you guys can't be like "you guys need to be normal about asexuality" and then turn around and get weirdly judgemental when you find out someone doesn't have sex by choice. Like that's weird that some of you do that.

i think ultimately the core of what irritates me about the t swift craze is that she’s constantly getting props for things that … literally aren’t true. people act like she’s self made, she is not. people act like she’s a social activist, she is not. people act like she’s constantly going to great lengths to uplift other women, she is not. like if people were just like yeah i love her music :) then okay! but it’s the constanttttt applause and praise and worshipping for things that are just patently false that really makes me feel insane

Jackie Sabbagh, “Having a Great Time Being Transgender in America Lately”

[noknowshame]

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?
