Fitz Vacker by @lemontarto

Propaganda:

Tam Song:

"He’s a queerio he’s a shade he hates his dad he cares about his family he’s shy and only has like two friends and one of them is a terrorist he’s a baby he’s petty he has trust issues he trusts too much he lied about his hair dye brand got the bit he’s a gay did I mention he’s a gay" (anonymous)

Fitz Vacker:

"Most morally gray character but sees in black and white. He buys gifts for his friends. He bakes. He has a stuffed dragon named Mr. Snuggles. He's almost died a number of times and twice of those had to do with a chest wound. He never learned how to emotionally regulate. He tried to kill his brother (he almost succeeded too!). delivered the rawest fucking line of the series (WIITYISPB...) and still looks cute doing it. He is the catalyst of this series. And he still looks cute through it all!!!" (anonymous)

"teal eyes. really hot. gay for keefe sencen. he is THE keeper character. THE keeper character!!" @siennamakeschaos

"FITZROY AVER VACKER THE HOT TELEPATH THAT WAS PUSHED AWAY INTO THE SPOTLIGHT WHEN SOPHIE ARRIVED HE WANTS KEEFE SO BAD BUT SOPHIE STOLE HIM AND HE'S SUCH A PRECIOUS LITTLE BABY THAT DESERVES TO JUST HAVE A BIG OLD CRY <33 vote the precious baby" (anonymous)

keefe dyeing tam’s hair for @queefsencen

[queefsencen]

tiana is so sweet because both of biana’s potential love interests (keefe and dex) liked sophie and then she meets tam who’s almost immediately into HER. they also have sort of matching abilities and the girly girl/emo trope is so cute and euurrrrghhhh also imagine the angst potential of a vacker dating a shade who was banished and euuurrgghhh

[starlooove]

Ppl will say fanon v canon doesn’t matter and it’s all jokes and I’m sooooo close to going sure sometimes and then I remember y’all removed a major role of one of the if not THEE most prominent black character in Bruce’s story who was created a whole decade before tim and gave it to tim based off a run where he literally handed the role back! Like IN THE COMIC Tim was CEO in name only and handed it back to Lucius relieved when he didn’t need to front anymore like.

Athena and Tamarack love each other so dearly. None of them have confessed it yet but it's the way they follow each other in their shenanigans, it's the way they comfort each other when they feel sad, it's the way they praise each other for their respective efforts, it's the way they trust each other, it's the way they're always there for each other, it's the way they smile at each other, it's the way they look at each other, it's the way they care about each other... It's the way all of that say silently yet loudly "I love you".

And yet none of them seem to realize the other feel the same way and this for 8 long years. Tamarack sometimes thinks that maybe, just maybe there's a chance. Athena's self-worth is too low to even dare thinking there's a chance for her.

nothing gets me like a character with overt flower symbolism ESPECIALLY self-inflicted

"Time to choose, Captain Reynolds," Badger said and lifted his gun. "Who's it gonna be?"

Zoë stared into the distance, her eyes hard. Next to her, Simon refused to look at anyone, blood trickling down his cheek.

"Qing wa cao de liu mang - "

"Ah ah ah," the businessman shook his head, "Might want to be nicer to the guy holdin' a gun."

Growling, Mal tried to lunged at him, grunting when one of the henchmen pushed him back down.

"Just shoot me you nuofu - "

Badger sighed and leaned back in his chair, lowering the gun.

"I'm startin' to think you aren't entirely understandin' the rules of this."

He shifted forward, the gun pointed at Mal, his hand steady.

"It's either her or him, captain, it ain't that hard. Oh, and if you don't choose who dies before I reach three - ," he cocked the gun, " - I'll shoot both of them, dong ma?"

Mal looked at the kneeling figures, his pulse racing. He couldn't - he wouldn't -

"One - "

Zoë met his eyes and it felt like the captain couldn't breathe.

Don't make him choose -

"Two - "

Scared and resigned blue eyes glanced at him, ('you're on my crew.' 'yeah, but you don't even like me.'), a question in his eyes.

Look after River for me?

"Three - "

"Wait!"

Author's note -

Did I leave this on a cliffhanger? Yes, yes I did. Am I gonna finish it one day? Hopefully.

Who do you think Mal chose?

Brian Jacques, every other paragraph: Sister Armel is PRETTY and INNOCENT and PRETTY and also PRETTY did I mention that she’s PRETTY, a PRETTY maid

[thatsthewrongwallcraig]

Idk why, but something reminded me about that one time I showed a guy I was talking to a fic of mine because he asked what I was writing about. Sent him a PDF of a heartfelt, angsty 5k friends to lovers fic and the only reply I got was: "Why are they only fucking in one position? Pretty bland."

Needless to say, we weren't talking for much longer after that.

[holistichiatus]

it would be so funny if my drifter and operator both go by Tam, but for wildly different reasons.

operator: "its short for Tamarisk. I chose my name bc they are hearty trees and can thrive in even highly salty water"

drifter: "I just like goats"

welcome back to hell

so i was collecting grimoire references to create the saints' frankengrimoires (probably up at some point this week) and at first i thought nothing of the fact that magna's grimoire was blue and black until i started noticing every other fire magic user's grimoire is red or orange. (that we've seen in the anime! we haven't seen ralph's, or father orsi's)

i went trolling through the wiki for this. so.

vs magna's weird fucking grimoire

this is not the same color.

this is fanmade merch (bless niftycraft on etsy btw) but like??? y'all see what i'm seeing here. why is his grimoire so fucking weird?

also it's probably the lighting but is that spade cloak blue?

[goldpilot22]

this is Tamzen Bellringer he's a mailman and he has like 3 girlfriends, all of whom are taller than him. he's a polite little guy and the ladies love him for his reliable deliveries

not to say werewolfy things unprompted but it is so funny being 5'1, noodle-armed, and still so sure I'm the scariest thing out there ... anxiety is suuuuch an internal beast that pulls its fur over your skin to possess you

here's a transformation in real time. making new friends goes something like this:

Eager Puppy Stage: wow!! wowowowow you're so fun and interesting I wanna know everything about you are you free this weekend??

Nervous Dog Stage: cool I now know you enough to glimpse how much more there is to discover and I'm outta my depth. I don't wanna move wrong. I wanna enjoy the sounds and textures. how do I do that if I don't know the rules. when there aren't any, apart from the ones we set—and I have a lot more than you do bc I have sensory issues. that doesn't seem fair. where are we?? what am I standing on?? I want to grow and change alongside you. I'm terrified of hurting you. I will hurt people by accident. or on purpose if I'm petty enough, if I lose control. I can't lose control. I have to know the rules so I can pinpoint when to rein it in

Weary Old Timer Stage: I don't know where I'm standing bc to love is to practice. loved ones expect me to hit the mat. I expect them to hit the mat, and I'm not upset when it happens. I just tell them how I feel and they listen. they back up. I try to listen, too. I hope I back up enough. I know I have that one-track-mind over-excitement. I know I have a selfish streak. I try to keep it in check. god I hope I listen well.

How do I stop comparing myself to others and how can I feel fulfilled on my own without needing anyone else's validation?

hiii<3 i feel what you're going through, trust me i do. here are some of my tips that specifically worked for me + at the end i'll include some more recommended things to read/ watch.

how to stop comparing & feel fulfilled without needing anyone else's validation

how to stop comparing yourself:

start focussing and thinking about yourself more. lol ok i realise that may sound like "become self absorbed" but i suppose, to some extent, that is what im saying. you're becoming too interested in others' life around you if you find yourself comparing. its time to focus on you and up levelling yourself to the best version possible.

comparison = wanting their life style, yes? so when you find yourself comparing to others in your life, realise that its because you envy something that they have. maybe its money, popularity, prettiness, intelligence, etc. so its like a signal in your brain which is telling you: "i want this. but i dont have it." so now what can you do, work hard to get it.

focus on what you have. i read a quote once (i think its by Oprah Winfrey) and it goes: "if you focus on what you don't have, you'll always have less. but if you focus on what you do have, you'll always have more." instead of looking at other's lives and thinking "i dont have this, i dont have that", look at your own life and think "i have this, i have that."

feeling fulfilled without needing anyone else's validation:

self love. self love. SELF LOVE. self love will ALWAYS be the answer to this. learn to LOVE yourself. and if you dont, ask why!! i have a whole guide on how to develop self love HERE. Stop looking for love in others, GIVE YOURSELF THE LOVE FIRST!!

It’s you over them. Always. Always always always. Always choose you over them. If they want you to do something but you don’t, then you say “no. I will not do that” it’s scary? Oh boohoohoo, suck it up. Because if you are constantly doing stuff that others ask you to just for the sake of pleasing them, you are disrespecting yourself in the worst way. You are basically saying that what they want is more important than what i want and need. Ew. Don’t do that.
