first proper interaction vs current development

[s0fter-sin]

thinking about the way ghost doesn't hesitate to start killing shadows when graves betrays them but soap only takes one hostage

you can almost hear the voice in his head telling him it doesn't have to be this way; they can still talk it out

"i'm calling shepherd"

his first instinct when confronted with betrayal is to play it by the books: to go up the chain. that goes against everything we've seen him do. he bucks authority at every chance except for the one time he's confronted with the barrels of his allies' guns

he wants a peaceful resolution; for the first time we've ever seen, he doesn't want violence to be the answer. there has to be another fix, a solution that doesn't end with him killing the same men he's been working with; his friends

nothing's happened yet

it doesn't have to go this way

but ghost has been betrayed before. he knows the way this ends; either with him six feet under or his enemy

he doesn't hesitate

it's only when they knock alejandro out that soap shoots; when they spill the first blood and cross a line they can never come back from

only when ghost orders him to run and he has to cover his retreat

and somewhere along the line, between civilians’ screams and taunting voices, between his shaking breath and ghost steady in his ear, that naivety is stripped away; his trust turned to teeth that he uses to sink into throats of men he'd have given his life for

"be careful who you trust, sergeant; people you know can hurt you the most"

he's learned the price of trust

just like ghost did

but unlike ghost, he has someone to guide him through the aftermath

"good advice, It"

Hello everyone! I am opening up for commissions for hopefully the next couple of months.

This time around I have crafted a google forms with all my offered options and all the pertinent info, so if you'd like a commission go fill this form out:

Form will remain open for a few days, or until I am at order capacity, and then will (hopefully) be reopened when I work through the current set. I will contact you when the form is closed!

Here are some examples of stuff I've done recently:

As always, if you want more examples feel free to peruse my art tag/art blog, and/or my commisions tag. If you'd like something from me that is not an option in the form feel free to email me at windydraws@gmail.com and we can discuss it.

Cheers!

ok so lowkey adult melissa was justified! don't snipe me y'all explanation under cut!

spoiler warning for yj s3 ep9

look obviously i didn't want van to die! i love van! this is a van fan household! but! but! to be fair to melissa! she's just been assaulted in her own home by her crazy abusive ex girlfriend, forced to eat her own flesh to escape (from her OWN house), and was then kidnapped and tied up by her former friends and held hostage in HER house where they didn't listen to anything she had to say and were listening to crazy abusive ex-girlfriend so.... just putting that out there...

and then one of crazy abusive ex-girlfriends partners in crime (our lovely van <3) stands over her with a knife spouting off about the possibly non-existent cannibalistic god of the wilderness saying it wants van to kill her so van can live! so... yeah no id probably get stabby with anyone in the vicinity in order to escape! just saying! melissa may or may not be a crazy murderer, but also yeah this was pretty justifiable in my opinion

You commission a fursuit. The maker is excited and gives you a deadline plus updates regularly for a few months. You’re excited.

It’s less than a month before the deadline. There hasn’t been an update in weeks and the job was far from finished the last you saw. You follow up and the maker’s run into financial trouble and they felt so bad that they couldnt tell you upfront. They apologize and you negotiate a new deadline.

The new deadline is approaching almost a year later. There hasn’t been any updates. You follow up again. Shipping issues, nothing you can do.

They apologize and negotiate a new deadline.

The new new deadline is approaching, they message you saying they’re cutting off requests to focus on commissions and share a document with the queue for the rest of the year. You’re not even listed despite the negotiated deadline.

They apologize and negotiate a new deadline

Another year passes and there’s still no news. You request a refund. They agree

Six months later you get a message saying they’ll pay you asap.

You shoot back a disbelieving response

They complain that you’re being unfair

[kindaasrikal]

Can we all consider the thought of how Zane might be physically older than all the other ninja, but mentally speaking he’s also just a teenage little shi

He’d be the middle child of the lot and you can’t deny me of this. He is NOT mentally 50 do you see that guy

He’s that one weird sibling you always have to teach stuff too despite them having more potential than you and you’re just stuck with it.

Zane is not mentally older than Cole, or even Kai of were being honest here. Everyone is aware of this fact and none of them have the heart to break it to him that no one considers him the oldest. Ancient nindroid or not.

[qoldenskies]

You talk a lot about Donnie's triggers when it comes to Raph and Leo, but what about Mikey? Is there anything specifically related to him that would freak Donnie out?

mikey gets brought up the least because he's the least physically imposing, and he very rarely got violent. his abuse was almost solely psychological, at least in the beginning, whereas raph was mostly verbal and leo was a mix of,, uh. everything lol (note that even before he smacked him, even before the closet, he was mentioned to be throwing things at him). most of mikey's abuse was caused by leo except for that one incident in the kitchen, so donnie tends to see leo as more of a threat than he does mikey when he's in a bad headspace. when mikey's alone, he doesn't think he's going to be hurt UNLESS he seriously seems to upset or anger him. (i think if donnie ever hurts mikey during an episode, he's going to take it a lot worse than if it were raph and leo. partially because he's smaller and younger, but also because of. right after the closet. yeah)

i actually think most of the things specifically about mikey were addressed in cw, though, because they were more emotional things-- the fear of being talked about when he wasn't around, for example. all of the food insecurity stems from him, too. leo was a nasty evil gaslighter but mikey was the one that just outright lied constantly, mostly in an effort to "protect donnie's feelings" (or at least to look like he was) and that's a big reason he finds that so uncomfortable. of course he's going to correlate hiding things to actually protect his feelings with talking behind his back.

can a character have both a superiority and inferiority complex at the same time and if yes, how the fuck does one live like that

[bluespiritshonour]

Aang gets a lot of hate for not giving up on Katara in The Guru. While I don't like the fact that they never had a plotline dedicated to the concept of love and attachment not being the same thing, I love Aang as a male protagonist for that reason.

The hero sacrificing his family, friends, lovers, children is a trope as old as time. You find it in Indian mythology, Chinese mythology, Greek mythology. It's what leads to the fridged woman trope, the noir detective’s dead wife, Batman's ‘good soldier’ in modern day pop culture.

You'd also notice how it's a singularly male hero trope. The female hero, rare as she is, never even gets put into a position where she has to choose between her loved ones’ safety and the greater good. Almost as if subconsciously the writers can't fathom a woman choosing to sacrifice her family, no, when it's a woman her most important duty suddenly is about others.

Aang, in his quest to be a hero, didn't let go of the girl he loved. And when he did he did it for her safety and was narratively punished because of it. And if it means the end of world, well, what's it to a woman's love?

Except we also see how Aang takes his responsibility seriously too!—or he'd just have stood his ground on not killing Ozai and not have done any energy bending. I don't care it was a deux ex machina. I'm just glad to have a hero who didn't think his morals were more important than actual breathing people (cough, Batman, cough).

Why is it that a villain is considered a good lover because he won't sacrifice you for the world, but the moment the hero does it, it's a bad thing?

If you're going to say “it's because a he's a hero,” well then, being a hero then equals being a man who only sees the world through his man eyes. Where the narrative makes everyone else's pain his man pain while stripping the same characters of their right to have their pain acknowledged.

a cushion, two continents away. [isagi yoichi x reader]

note: i wrote this in one sitting out of need. a loving yoichi is a warm thought and while this isn't how i imagined the 'first fit of madness in a while' would go, please do know it is one. yoichi is considerate, but yoichi likes affection. that's the thought. warning: none, isagi is full of love and wants to be clingy, post canon pro player au, reader's gender unspecified.

“Please motivate me,” you say to the screen. Isagi tries his best not to ask why you are burying your face in your hands instead of greeting him with a smile. His hunch tells him you might cry if he does that. “Please motivate me, or I might cry.”

Isagi really tries his best not to follow his instinct to ask are you okay there and then. With a smile he hopes doesn’t come out as an exact grimace, he laughs and makes a silent note to order you your favorite drink online later. Paying mind to his sleeping teammates, he whispers, “I don’t know what’s happening here, but hang in there, okay?”

As if being cued by his voice, you finally peek at his face. Even with only part of your face unhidden by your palms, Isagi notices that you are making a face at something—which is probably whatever your workload is now and the fact that he is two continents away from you.

“Why are you away?” you ask, a mix of pout and annoyance haunting your voice, “I want to work while sitting in your lap. I want a back hug. I want a hug. I want you here.”

“Please don’t turn me into a cushion,” Isagi says, even though the two of you know that he will do it happily and readily. Complete with his head on your shoulder, peering at your laptop. Probably, also while sharing warm drinks with you.

Good—Isagi holds back a groan. Now he wants to go home too.

Which shouldn’t be impossible. The match is done, Bachira and Rin are asleep so they can’t snitch, maybe if he runs to the airport now—

“I’m going to sound like a hypocrite. And also this is painful for me to say,” you interrupt his train of thought with a mock of a strict expression, “but please don’t.”

Isagi chews the inside of his cheek, “…but. It’s—”

“I’m not listening to you,” you cut off, despite obviously trying to hold back a smile. But, as quick as that pretty expression of yours comes, Isagi doesn’t get much time to admire it. You soon turn away to somewhere off-screen, facing what seems to be your work with a sigh. “…now, I think I have to go.”

Looking at you and hearing the imminent farewell, Isagi wants to make you stay more than anything. Having a simple celebration between you and him, even through a video call, after a win sounds like heaven. But of course, unfortunately, he is mature enough to know asking that from you is impossible for now.

But, Isagi is self-aware. He is egoistic and stubborn when he wants something. So, he asks, “Can we stay on call? I will be good.”

“…be good, huh?” you parrot his wording. A light chuckle comes out just barely from you.

“You know what I mean,” Isagi shifts on his bed. Lying on his side while hugging his pillow to his body, pretending it’s you. He buries his face into the plush cotton. God—he really wishes this pillow was you now.

Never once did his eyes leave you. He watches as you stay silent, considering for a moment. Then, finally, after a few wordless moments, you finally glance back to him, “…you know I can’t deny that puppy look, right?”

“Stop calling it puppy look,” Isagi denies. He knows he is wearing the expression you often call ‘pouting’.

To that, you finally laugh out loud. For a moment you truly look like there is no burden on you and Isagi considers going on with the pointless debate if he could keep that good look on you forever. Sadly, he knows you should work the moment you fully turn your face to the side. The clicking sounds of keyboards and mouse clicks replace your voice.

“Sure, sure, I will,” you say. Isagi merely hums as he looks at you.

He really should be a good boyfriend and pretend he is your sitting cushion right now.

"sooo... what are you reading anyways?" michael asks, taking a seat on the couch.

he's a professional personal space invader at this point— not like he realizes he's always sort of doing it around you. his shoulder presses into yours, blue eyes peering at the pages of your book.

it looks... well, interesting would be the nice description. the honest description in his eyes? that would be: long and tedious to read.

he wonders why you enjoy things like philosophy. or how things like this can get you on passionate (and occasionally very angry) spiels. he assumes it's the time period difference. an information era— big books, long rants, heated debates. your type of fun.

not like michael minds all that much. he personally loves to talk— so even if you don't really have the same topics floating around in your brain space, he totally gets it.

"kant." you reply simply, shifting a little to get some space away from the blond currently breathing down your neck as you try to enjoy what was supposed to be your free time.

he pauses, brow furrowing. for a moment, you perk up at his expression. he's thinking. hard. maybe he's familiar with it. or maybe he has an opinion on kant's theories—

"...why do you have the book then?"
