Don't Worry - You're Not Alone

Bit of art for @for-quill-with-love and the various spectators involved. <3 Starting bottom left and going clockwise we have Kiwi (@youllnevertaketheskyfromme), Fero (@aliferous-ly), Aspen (aspenwish on anon), Stars (🌌 on anon), Vietta (@vesperaink), Pix (me), and, of course, Quill herself in the center!

[aliferous-ly]

Fire

You don't actually care about these people. You're in it for the rage.

Fero had a temper. It was something they knew and wrestled with. Mostly it showcased when she'd been grounded for too long, stuck in some same-area away from their personal, hidden nest. They needed to explore, to run to the highest mountain peaks and overlook the world. To vanish into the wilderness where nobody could find them.

They didn't like their temper, particularly. It got in the way of things. They already struggled with making friends, because of her flighty need to disappear for months at a time. Or because she was just a terrible friend, he wasn't quite sure. Besides, nobody needed him to white knight for them. That was annoying, and people could take care of themselves.

So, whenever he got mad, he'd bury himself in the snow and hope to burn it out. Sometimes it worked.

Sometimes, he ran out of snow.

You don't know them. They'd been talking to Quill for what, a week? Two? Shit, they had colleagues they'd known for longer. And they didn't much care if said colleagues stranded themselves on a solo world with a warden. Or maybe he'd get all up in arms anyway, because he was a foolish little bird who stuck his nose where it didn't belong.

And she was angry. She was furious. For a person to be locked tight and unable to fly free was a crime. For a caretaker to latch the cage shut and offer companionship only to snatch it away at the first hint of flame was cowardly. Gods, Fero couldn't put to words how mad they were.

But it made them a frayed nerve. They didn't like this Fero. They were frustrated, mean, and unfriendly, but what did it matter, because it isn't like you actually care about them, right?

How could she? What sort of idiot grasped at the first scraps of companionship shown to her? She ground her teeth and stared at the stars, unsuccessfully trying to ignore the click-clacking of skeletons and incessant moaning of zombies. The monsters circled her nest, built safely in the trees, and she rolled her eyes.

He'd always been hot-headed. Move first, think later. For some reason the messages reminded him of fear, that same fear of being chained up and locked out. He knew he had to tread carefully lest the connection snap in two. And the others were all so kind (except for that stars character, they were downright strange), and emotions were connected to each newly-seen name.

They hadn't met them before. Except… Pix was a delightful yellow burst. Kiwi was sea green of newly discovered joy. The others were all connected because of the strangeness.

What sort of idiot grasped at the first scraps of companionship shown to her? But Kiwi did the same thing. Fero liked Kiwi, though inexplicably, as he'd never met her. How could Fero be cruel to themselves over an act so admired in another?

I'm really fucked up, Fero thought, not for the first time. He ran his thumb over his cracked comm, considering the volatile message he'd sent several minutes prior. She tried not to regret, because regret was wasted time that could be spent on much cooler things, but perhaps she'd acted a bit… hastily.

I do care about them.

The fear was swiftly returning. She might have ruined the whole thing. Not just for her, but for everyone, and just because of her own stupid anger.

Tread carefully, little bird. You wouldn't want your wings clipped.

---------------------------

bit of a view into fero's head for the current... events happening in @for-quill-with-love . Having such drastic memory loss over someone (or multiple someones) they clearly have emotions for is screwing with their head . he remembers kiwi the most, mostly because they'd helped him first.

anyway check out the blog because it's so fun interacting and creating a character from it!! much drama. much love. peace

this stinker, Tma character sheet #6!

you guys didnt now how much i love when sonic do this

One of my favorite parts about the writing of Howl's Moving Castle is how easy it is to write off all the things from our world at first as him just being a weird wizard™ (also thanks to bestie @jutenium for spotting this I wouldn't put it like that without you!!/pos). Sure, Sophie uses weird descriptions, but readers have every reason to believe them because of the way Howl is presented as a character. When Sophie says he wrote with a quill that doesn't need an ink, you wouldn't think it was actually a ballpoint pen, you would think Howl had just enchanted his quill so that it wouldn't need ink! When she adds that she can't make out a single word, you think he has matchingly terrible handwriting, but in fact Sophie has simply never seen a pen writing. When she sees the mysterious labels on his books, you think he's keeping a lot of obscure magical literature, but it's really just an encyclopedia and a guide like "Top 10 Rugby Tips." When Sophie notices the bottles in Howl's bathtub, you think they're some kind of magical jars where he keeps girl's hearts, but I'm almost certain that they're just 'Dove' and 'Head and Shoulders' that he's enhanced with his spells and put silly labels on. When you read Calicifer singing a song in a language Sophie doesn't understand, you think it's some kind of ancient cipher or code, but it's actually just a rugby song in Welsh that Howl sings when he's drunk. And finally, when you see the terrifying black door, which is completely shrouded in darkness, you imagine a passage to an eerie, mythical place, similar to what Miyazaki showed us - but it's just fucking Wales.

imagine it. sherlock returns in 2026. the baby is gone. what baby? the baby never existed. all the conspirators are vindicated. sherlock and john fuck nasty and the skull with glowing eyes on the wall watches. mystrade is canon. there is never any mention of his sister again and we still don’t know if sherlock’s best friend was a boy or a dog and at this point everyone is too afraid to ask.

Gamora not ending up with Peter subvert our “soul-mate” expectations. In another life, Peter and Gamora were soulmates. They grew and made each other better and their love was sincere. But that Gamora is gone.

2014!Gamora isn’t Peter’s Gamora. Just because she could find happiness with him doesn’t mean she should. She found love and happiness with other people and we can’t hold it against her.

The moment I knew guardians of the galaxy vol. 3 would be good was in the first 5 minutes, when Peter fell from being drunk and they actually cared about him and put him in bed. As soon as he fell, I was SO ready for them to play it off as a laugh. I was so sure of it, because every other marvel movie would have done that. That’s *exactly* what they did with Thor in Endgame.

But no. Rocket looked at him in sympathy and all the guardians asked how he was doing and Nebula tucked him into bed (which I ALSO thought they would make a joke of! But they didn’t!) and they treated him with love. I have a lot of feelings about this movie and why it wasn’t trash like a lot of other recent marvel movies, but I think the main reason was that they actually made the characters care about each other right from the get-go.

I'm sorry but can we talk about how cute this image is?

Like Gamora's head on Peter's shoulder and Nebula looking so happy.

[thepersassiest]

everyone saying that gotg3 is the best thing marvel has put out since endgame is honestly extremely disrespectful.

gotg3 is so much better than endgame

[gamoraswonder]

Can we talk about the difference in how Peter's alcoholism and depression was handled in vol 3 in contrast to Thor's in endgame??? Like hello?!?!? For a millisecond I was worried they were gonna treat Peter like a joke but immediately they showed us the worry in all the guardians for his state, Nebula carried him and put him in bed and they all make sure he was ok, and even later they were talking about how worried they are and how they can help him, no jokes about his physical condition or anything like that and him being passed out drunk wasn't framed as funny but as heartbreaking and also they showed us Nebula being rightfully mad at Peter's actions and him taking responsibility on it and started trying to heal and becoming better, they all love him so much I just can't

[knuxadowyuri]

there’s no way to describe the amount of serotonin this specific sonic channel art of knuckles manages to bring me. it’s immeasurable

[aarohisingh25]

Do you randomly cry over the fact that Quill Kipps went from wanting to stab Lockwood to taking a stab for Lockwood and how that is the best character development you have and will ever see, but still people forget about him and his amazing jokes? .....Or are you normal?

[lailas-in-space]

Sam from the magnus protocol !!

I decided that I couldn't wait any longer before I drew him so here we are

[fennethianell]

circled back to my thoughts about Gamora and Peter meeting when they were kids AU (it's been years! like I found a sketch from 2018 and could not stop thinking - so I had to draw)

[hikaaa-bi]

i know that everyone loves alice and i do too, but i think it’s time to recognize that she is absolute shit at coping with her lingering feelings for sam and as a result, is just making things harder for herself AND everyone around her
