#coincidental love

[lavendershadow]

Mon estomac se retourne parce que mon esprit a été si cruel. Je sais ce que j'ai fait, mais je ne peux toujours pas m'empêcher de penser souvent à toi. que je me suis battu presque tous les jours pour qui j'étais. Je sais que nous emprunterons des chemins différents, dérivant toujours plus loin vers rien l’un pour l’autre. et c'est la vie. Pourtant, quelque part dans mon cœur… il y a encore un morceau de toi qui persiste. Je vous aimerai toujours. Tu avais été si loyal et gentil avec moi. J'aurais aimé pouvoir donner la même chose à l'époque. Je sais que rien n’est éternel, je le savais à l’époque. Je regarde vraiment beaucoup en arrière et je me déteste, simplement parce que je ne pouvais pas gérer ce fait à ce moment-là.

Que si nous étions simplement restés amis, peut-être que notre longue distance aurait fonctionné. J'étais trop simple d'esprit, comme un enfant, pour le voir. Même si je n'ai jamais dit de mauvaises choses à ton sujet. cela semblait toujours s'accumuler autour de moi, et plus je te défendais, plus j'étais critiqué pour ces mots en premier lieu. Je ne serais pas devenu égoïste de te garder pour moi. Si je ne t'avais pas supplié de rester à côté de moi, tu aurais probablement été mieux. Même quand j'étais horrible, terrible. Si nous étions restés amis, si je n'avais pas eu la chance d'avoir une relation… Je n'aurais pas pu t'aimer ni te parler au téléphone à toute heure de la nuit. Si nous étions restés amis, nous vous aurions probablement aidé à rejoindre les États-Unis ou nous aurions arrêté de parler. Souvent, je me demande : est-ce que nous parlerions même maintenant si nous n’étions que amis à l’époque ?

Tu aurais trouvé quelqu'un de mieux pendant tout ce temps, mais je t'ai retenu. Je sais que c'était ton choix. Mais je pense que ce fut une fin amère pour nous deux. pourquoi ne pouvais-je pas te laisser tranquille à ce moment-là ? tu aurais pu être tellement plus heureux sans moi. Tu étais mon premier amour. Je regrette de ne pas être parti faire le tri dans mes pensées et moi-même. pour m'être rendu si égoïste que je me suis tellement attaché à toi… que chaque action pour te garder est devenue une tentative pathétique. Parce que je te voulais dans ma vie. Je pleure parfois. Parce que j'étais tellement égoïste, inconsidéré, horrible. À propos de la façon dont je t'ai traité, parce que je sais combien de temps il t'a fallu pour guérir. Je sais que j'ai ruiné une si bonne âme avec mon venin, parce que maintenant tu le redoutes. L'amour n'est pas quelque chose que vous devriez craindre. Sans parler de cette estime de soi. Tu étais tellement incroyable, presque invincible. Quand j'étais plus jeune, je pensais que peu importe ce que je faisais, tu n'étais pas profondément dérangé. Je sais que c'est faux. J’ai mal au ventre et au fond de la gorge rien que de penser à qui j’étais. Juste un enfant inconsidéré.

As an adult, I hope I can always look back and never go back to who I was. I want only the best and good parts to be what I cherish. I will never be vile again. My apology or guilt can never repair this damage and I will live knowing that I was a monster. I can never ask you anything, for I will always be indebted to you for the way you have treated me, with true and pure love. I had never seen the big picture at the time. It's doubtful these days, we'll never talk. But I hope that one day, if our paths cross. I'll forget, you wouldn't run to hug a complete stranger. So I'm going to give a faint smile. I will live my life as if we were nothing to each other. Since that would probably be your last wish.

Si nous nous rencontrons dans une autre vie, je ne te poursuivrai pas avec insistance. Si je décide de le faire avec vous, j'attendrai notre première rencontre physique. Je resterai seul. Avec mon propre espoir. Pour ne pas traîner la boue que j'emporterai avec moi, tout en m'accrochant à toi. Si tu ne me rencontres pas dans la prochaine vie. Je me souviendrai de toi maintenant, je suivrai mon propre chemin, te tenant près de mon cœur.

May you always find happiness and beauty in life and in death.

i got an ao3 comment a while ago saying how it was "uncomfortable" and "out of character" for bruce to use terms of endearment and nicknames towards his kids in fics. which proves to me that some people have truly rotted minds, but also that you've never picked up a batman comic. so, here are some nice panels that show it is very much in character.

sweetheart:

honey:

Batman (1940) #318 & Batman/Grendel (1993) #2

Countdown to Seungmin's Birthday

↘ D-7: His best (cute) friend, Felix.

[starry-bi-sky]

wolfpack. aka: if not friend, then why friend-shaped?

"Hey-- uh, Danny?" There's an almost imperceptible tremor in Tucker's voice.

Danny doesn't look up from what he's doing, his pencil scritching across his notebook as he tries to do another quadratic formula question. "Hm."

"What's -- uh -- what's with the dogs?"

He looks up now, and finally sees where Tucker is -- standing in the doorway of his room with an ashy look on his face and a skewed, nervous smile. He's got a white knuckle grip on the doorknob. Sam is wide-eyed behind him, and using him as a partial meat-shield.

Danny looks down to the two giant ghost wolves sprawled next to him lazily. One large green one with his head in Danny's lap, letting him use him as a prop-up for his notebook. Another equally large black one splayed against his hip, sleeping on her side with her head tilted inward to his calf.

Automatically, a grin tilts across Danny's face, and he lifts his notebook up to scratch behind the green one's ears. He opens a lazy eye, one that is bloody red with a ring of yellow around the pupil, before slipping it shut and leaning his head into Danny's touch. "This is Sirius and Procyon," he says, and reaches down to scratch Sirius' belly. "And they're not dogs, they're wolves."

"Great," Tucker says, his voice suddenly much smaller and faint, "Love that distinction."

Sirius makes a great big groan, and Danny's grin widens, his heart swelling with fondness. His hand slips away from her belly, and before he can put his notebook back down, Procyon pushes his head up his lap until his ear is against his stomach, demanding pets now too.

Sam peeks her head up from over Tucker's shoulder, "I think what Tucker's asking here is what are they doing here, Danny."

He shrugs, scratching under Procyon's chin. "They kinda just showed up. I tried sending them back to the Zone, but they keep returning." And they were weirdly intent on just following him around, which is the only reason he gave up on returning them. They weren't causing trouble, and they knew how to hide around the living. Plus, he just loves dogs. "So now I have two wolves living with me."

This, oddly enough, did not do anything to calm Sam and Tucker down. Tucker's mouth purses into a thin line, and he presses the sides of his palms to his lips in prayer. "How have your parents not found out about this?"

Danny wordlessly raises his hand, and his sleeve slides down to reveal a thin chain bracelet hooked around his wrist. He whistles sharply, and both Procyon and Sirius jerk their heads up to look at him, ears pricked up and eyes alert.

Silently, he points to his wrist and rattles it twice, and in unison both wolves stand up and pounce. Instantly, they turn into a respective, opaque black and green mist that swirls around the bracelet and forms into two, flat wolf charms.

Both wolves are posing in the stereotypical wolf howl, with little stars indented on the sides. Procyon's charm has the Canis Minor constellation engraved on it, while Sirius has the Canis Major.

Danny faces Sam and Tucker, and points at his wrist. "Like this."

Friendly reminder that this conversation takes place in 01x03:

Note:

The ambiguity of his response to Morgana.

His choice of words. The right person to love. Not woman. Person.

And then, only one (1) episode later:

He didn’t even hesitate.

It seems he had, in fact, found the right person to love.

niki giving phil the flint and steel was cinematic poetry ok did you know every niki is fire she is her own match and own flame in every iteration. the association is always so ridiculously strong it literally writes itself— how likely was it that nobody else in the area had a flint and steel but her !!!!! in every metaphor in every universe etc etc

The Pride and Prejudice BBC special lake scene, reimagined <3 Thanks @fellshish for the idea.

I love the thought of this being the first time they meet again, just like Lizzy and Darcy. The coverstation alone is peak awkward I cannot

ahhhh

Am I done now? Probably not

[jeeaark]

Somebody theorized that the dream guardian was Ansur-inspired that I thought was cool, but what REALLY had me go 'WELL SHIT NOW I CAN'T NOT DRAW THIS' was realizing- you know those big beautiful glowy green eyes I gave my guardian (that totally made no sense besides looking really cool)? Same color as Ansur's.... Emps. Buddy. why you gotta be so extra tragic????

Why wish your guardian to have purple eyes when your guardian could have ANSUR'S EYES FOR ANGST REASONS HUAH!

+~So that's what I was hyped to share~+ Besides that, I think Ansur's story helped Greygold realize that the Emperor is just as much a messy mess as everybody else in this feral fiasco of a team.

And even though "There's always another way" Greygold can't fathom the idea that death was the "only choice" to stop Ansur, Greygold can't judge for trying to survive.

But it's fine now. Greygold is here. Gonna have so many more choices to choice now. Gonna sort out this 'no choice' nonsense after saving the world.

What’s in a name?

I have compiled a screenshot of all of Blitz’s name credits at the end of every episode he’s in.

There is a change at the end of season 1 episode 8 (Queen Bee) where we get a single line through the O in his name. In this episode we get Blitz dealing with the aftermath of seeing Fizzarolli for the first time in 15 years.

Seeing Fizz after that many years has probably brought up quite a bit of emotional pain (his response upon seeing him at Ozzie's was to hide behind his menu and say "not him") for Blitz who we know cares very deeply for Fizz. At no point during Fizz's public humiliation of him during the episode Ozzie's does Blitz react or say anything in retaliation. He doesn't fight back. He still cares what Fizz thinks about him and having his once best friend treat him like that must have been quite a punch to the heart. Blitz accepts it all as it reinforces his own narrative that he is not deserving of the love of the people whose lives he ruined. All the emotional turmoil comes to a head at the end of episode 8 when he remarks how Fizz was right and he is going to die alone, coming to the conclusion that he and Fizz will never reconcile their relationship because Blitz believes he cannot be forgiven; that the damage he caused was unforgivable.

The second change is at the end of season 2 episode 5 (Unhappy Campers) where we get a second line through the O in his name. In this episode we get to see Blitz interact with his sister Barbie for the first time in presumably a while.

The relationship between Blitz and Barbie pre-fire is not really shown a lot in cannon (yet?). We know they did some sort of solo show together so presumably they were close siblings. Blitz cares enough about her to look in on her at rehab so we know, at least from his point of view, that Barbie is still an important person in his life. In this episode we get to see that relationship from Barbie's perspective. She clearly feels a lot of animosity toward Blitz ("haven't you ruined my life enough?"). She didn't let him know she had left rehab or that she had gotten a job and is apparently doing okay for herself. Blitz is no longer a part of her life. Blitz's reaction to seeing her in this episode is so sincere and very vulnerable for him. The desperation in his voice when he tried to get her to meet up with him to talk and she threw it back in his face? Ouch. Her comments about him ruining her life and her wanting him to stop trying? Double ouch. Much like with Fizz, Blitz is left with the understanding that forgiveness from her is something that he will never get as the damage has been done

The name Blitzo is a representation of his past (notice how the only people he doesn't correct about how to say his name are Barbie and Fizz). It is from a time when he had the love and connection of those in his family. After these two episodes it's almost as if that was the final reminder to Blitz that he longer has either of them. That that version of himself is gone.

By crossing out the O to change his name to just "Blitz" in the credits it's as if to say he has closed that chapter from his past. It shows that he feels, after these interactions, that it is no longer possible to be that person from his past, to be the person that was loved and cared for by Fizz and Barbie. He is no longer worthy of having that name and everything good that is associated with it because it's his fault he lost them.

Although, with the change of his name, it could potentially be a fresh start. A chance for him to build a new version of himself. A person worthy of the two most important people in his life and by extension the other people in his life he cares about too. ("I don't want to be this way, not forever").

Fuck you *designs the turtles' kooky other-dimension sister*

Thinking about her and trying to come up with her design just made me think of Arcane's Jinx, so that's definitely her main inspo. As well as Briar, another League champion. I made her the Venus, bc I really want Big Mama's assistant to be a Jennika type- Given their respective stories, with Jenny being from the Foot Clan.

Her markings are also inspired by the concept art of the turtles' 'Ninpo Forms'.
