“Your delinquent child is outside, and I have assured him that he is very, very grounded.”
Between Yeza and the campers still waiting for their parents to arrive from around the coast to collect them, Veth wasn’t sure any of them saw her move between the dining room and the foyer before she’d thrown the front door open.
Outside, Caleb held Luc by the back of the vest, neither of them looking any worse for wear. Behind them, Jester and Fjord looked a bit sheepish, though not nearly as sheepish as her son, who had almost curled into himself beneath the venomous look she’d given him.
“I thought you were dead! You're never leaving this house again! I couldn't get in contact with anyone and I thought you were fucking dead!” she screeched, before any of them could move, but Luc almost kept pace with her, slipping from his godfather’s grasp and, to her surprise, likely to the others’ surprise as well, threw his arms around her.
“I’m sorry, Mom, I should’ve listened to you, I’ll stay grounded for as long as you want—“
Veth spluttered for a moment, though her arms wrapped around him in return. This had not been how he’d returned under Kingsley’s grasp, caught by the ear and cursing up a storm.
It took a long moment to realize that Luc was trembling beneath her grasp. Very faintly, but definitely trembling.
She looked over his shoulder at Caleb, then Fjord and Jester. “There have been… several lessons learned in the past thirty-six hours,” Caleb said, his tone even stonier than his expression.
Fjord nodded slightly in agreement, carrying the weight of agreement. Her grasp on her son tightened, and she kissed his hair. Her sharp tone felt empty and hollow even to her own ears.
“Don’t you ever run away again— Don’t you know what I’d do if you were killed—“
“I know, Mom,” Luc interrupted, and for the first time in weeks— months— a long fucking time— he didn’t sound petulant.
He sounded like her boy.
“I kept him safe,” Caleb said flatly, also without any defensiveness. There was, even for Caleb, a dark flame behind his eyes. It felt like a spark she hadn’t seen in quite a few years.
“He was very particular about it,” Jester agreed, and then, in a poorly-disguised whisper, “Trent.”
Veth’s grip tightened, and she pulled Luc aside, away from the doorway. “Come in, tell me all about it—“ she pulled back and checked him over as Caleb nodded and passed inside. “You’re all in one piece, you’re alright—?”
“Yeah, Mom,” he agreed, with exhaustion. “Uncle Deuce made sure we were all in one piece.”
Jester pouted as she passed. “I also made sure you were okay, alright, but Caduceus is so helpful, you know, and honestly, in the end, it wasn’t even that bad— we saved most of the town, and we had a great party, and—“
She stopped her rambling in the middle of the doorway and clapped both hands to her mouth as Luc ducked under both of them into the house.
“Oh. My. Gods, Veth, you will not believe— Fjord proposed to me—“
With the number of things Jester had just imparted to her, it was honestly a testament to her own intelligence that Veth managed to process them in time to turn to Fjord just as he started up the steps, stopping him in his tracks.
“You what? And I missed it—?!”
"You know, Jester, I think we can let Caleb debrief the Brenatto family alone—"
She had him by the ear before he could move, which was an impressive feat considering he was over half her height, but he was almost as slippery of a bastard as she was.
Within an instant, he'd turned to mist in her grasp and vanished to the other side of the street, Jester complaining behind her all the while. Veth shrieked after him. "You piece of shit!"
In response, he yelled, "That's soon-to-be Admiral Tusktooth-Lavorre to you!"
#critical role#cr spoilers#cr fic#fjorester#veth brenatto#fjord#jester lavorre#m9 solstice#honestly very funny of me to post this considering I have a post in my queue for a bit later that's tagged like#'I'll probably have half a one-shot written by the time this posts'#surprise! I have a WHOLE one-shot written. and probably another half given I have other thoughts. obviously.#listen my brain went 'veth is going to be so mad in general but she's gonna LOSE IT when she finds out this is where fjord proposed'#and I couldn't NOT write that

Zuko was a child when he met Agni. Then, the spirits started coming to him. Eyes hidden in the hallways, voices pleading for help, for recognition, for remembrance.
Zuko could see Agni. He could see the broken remains of a Great Spirit and the empty smiles of amnesiac ghosts.
And they could see him in return.

instagram dump with your selfship! (model/actor!au sel x satoru ver.)
seltoru behind-the-scenes dump — work days and winding down~
liked by sstoru and others
sellybelly last week's shenanigans ✨ 1: shoot day! 📸 2: nails sponsored by mr. gojo satoru 💅 3. loved our outfits for the awards 🥺 (thank you dior! 💫) 4. that feeling when you change into home clothes tho >> 5. maybe he's pretty sometimes 🙄 6. caught him in the act (texting me during a meeting 😭) 7. satoru in hair & makeup (some good sleep he's had there 🤧) 8. our lil treat to end the week 🍓😋 9. phone hijacked by mr. gojo satoru 🧿🧿 👁️👁️
sstoru knew you were obsessed with me 😌
thanks for the tag my love @tteokdoroki this was so so fun 🥺 tagging: anyone else who wants to do this!! it's so pretty and so fun 🥺
#seltoru.🤍#IS THIS JUST AN EXCUSE FOR ME TO INCLUDE CHANYEOL --- yes#i love the colours in this one 🥺#thought i'd do some kind of actor/model/public figure au 🥺 and show the duality!! of going to events and just living life#i imagine this as some kind of au where gojo and i work together on multiple projects#he's got this playboy persona to him that the media likes to play up so i was fully expecting that going into work with him#but boyyyyyy was i surprised to find that he isn't like that at all#he did try to flirt like. the first few times. but honestly i think that's just him with everyone ! it's like a go-to formula for#his interactions. idt he fully means to be flirty i think it's just what he's rehearsed to be more palatable to people he meets#or works with for the first time#because other than that he's truly just. INSUFFERABLE LMAO#it took me a while to get used to how obnoxious he was on set LOL and we did not end that first project together on speaking terms#but gojo satoru is nothing but insistent and we got assigned together on another project :/ then another :/ and god bless me#bc was i actually finding him a little bit endearing ?#i guess it all worked out in the end dhbfsd otherwise we wouldn't be here

We believe spirits are in every single thing. In houses, in forests, in mountains, in trees in rice fields. Every area has spirits. All of them.

Can I ask what was your first impression of TGCF and if it turned out wrong or right?
My first impression of TGCF was "this goof continuously ascends to -- and gets kicked out of -- heaven, this is going to be clown town isn't it?"
And honestly I stand by that one, I think I was completely correct**
(**barring the fact that this goof will then go on to experience ever conceivable horror known to man but honestly I mostly expected it after MDZS)
#tgcf#heaven official's blessing#xie lian#hua cheng#hualian#honestly i was pretty spot on with my tonal assumptions for TGCF which is why i didn't include it in the previous post#after getting my shit rocked by MDZS i was feeling a bit more accustomed to mxtx's tendency to mix humour and tragedy#so i expected things to Go Bad sooner or later#that being said i was WILDLY unprepared for book 6 the post-banishment arc nearly k i l l e d me#straight up took me 4 calendar months to read bk6 because i'd read about 3 pages and then need to crawl away and cry for a bit#it intrigues me how with both MDZS and TGCF the backstory stuff is AGONIZING#and there can be some reckoning with that in the present#but as a general rule the present day plot is were the comedy and whimsy and romance lives & the backstory is where PAIN AND SUFFERING live#i'm not sure why i was so startled by SVSSS's vibe since it's fairly similar to the other two#the stuff i saw on my dash led me to think it was mostly humour/fluff though and i was admittedly VERY biased against isekai#very very pleasantly surprised by SVSSS i'm enjoying it alot#i'm amused and humbled by the new followers i've recently collected#i assume it's mostly svsss's fans that know A Storm Is Coming and are sitting back with popcorn to watch me suffer in real time - if so#cheers#my art

"Does that FE3H character have a bastard child?" tier list
One of the funniest things my sister and I have done with FE3H is create the Sylvain-Dimitri bastard tier list aka. on a scale from Sylvain to Dimitri, would that character have a bastard child?
Sylvain sleeps around and bitterly assumes every woman wants a child from him, so duh, while Dimitri would be so ashamed of holding hands with an unmarried partner, he would immediately marry them and claim all responsibility on the spot
The Gilbert tier is "they might if they weren't rizzless"
#fire emblem three houses#fire emblem#fe3h#three houses#dimitri alexandre blaiddyd#sylvain jose gautier#tier list#not art#i'm honestly surprised in a game about hereditary systems they didn't mention illegitimate children aside from dorothea?#but yeah bump the rating up a bit and sylvain's facing that#raphael is in maybe because he wouldn't really care about what makes a child illegitimate#he could have one out of wedlock but that doesn't mean he's not a good/present dad#also the way ferdinand introduces himself you know he's got half-siblings somewhere out there he's torn about

Random appreciation post for TV shows about special task forces that are also oddly endearing (found) families, they just have a very special place in my heart❤️
Hogan's Heroes (1965-1971)
The Penguins of Madagascar (2008-2015)
Star Wars: The Bad Batch (2021-2024)
#and I wouldn't be surprised if they were actually all based upon each other (or at least on similar sources)#I mean for TPoM and Hogan's Heroes it's basically canon that they were both influenced by Stalag 17 (I'm just saying Manfredi and Johnson)#but like I think I could also see both Hans and Julien being a bit similar to Colonel Klink in some ways#especially in regards to their personalities and relationship with Skipper and Hogan#like afaik both Hans/Skipper and Klink/Hogan are somewhat popular ships in their respective fandom#(and I should get more into them too bc they're honestly kinda cute)#but like also generally the dynamics and specific roles of all the main characters in all three shows#I feel like TBB doesn't fit in quite as well bc it's a bit more serious whereas the others are much more comedic#but when it comes to that specific point I'd say it's quite similar too#but I'm not lying when I say TPoM and Hogan's Heroes were literally formative for me in a way#one was my childhood and the other carried me through my teenage years🫶#hogan's heroes#the penguins of madagascar#tpom#the bad batch#tbb#star wars the bad batch#star wars tbb#selniasposts

Most purpose is more burden than glory. And trust me, you never wanna be the guy who avoids it ’cause you can’t live with the burden.
LOKI APPRECIATION WEEK 2023 | for @dailyloki Day 6 : Favorite Quote
#mobius#loki#lokius#lokiweek2023#mcuedit#lokiedit#marveledit#owen wilson#tom hiddleston#dailyloki#a hundred of his to choose from most of which i've happily giffed before but in all honestly this one's it for me#my good friend scar tissue the delivery of which has haunted my every waking moment for over a month now 😔#his story was the most heartbreaking realization of how alone he's been at the tva... who knows if anyone had ever paused before then#and because of it he's been made to carry so much resignation and sadness simply by remembering a little bit of who he was#and wants to be! his eyes were so weary during the time theater remix it was like looking at a completely different character 😭😭#never stop being surprised by owen's talent but god this scene will stay with me forever it's a level i've not experienced before#marvel#owenwilsonedit#dianagifs

I have emotions! It’s not all abraca-fuck-you and what have you. I have a beating heart! I’m multi-dimensional! I’m a fully-realized creation! FUCK!
@vero-valzer as Taako the Wizard from The Adventure Zone
Realized Tumblr and its smol but rad and dedicated TAZ Fandom might be the right place to share my Taako cosplay that I'm proud of and really enjoy wearing. 🌂✨️💖
These pics span multiple years and multiple outings, featuring a few different iterations on this cosplay at this point—from conventions to Ren Faires.
It has filled my heart with glee every time I heard someone gasp and go, "Is that Taako? From T.V.?!" which gave me the opportunity to spin around and say, "Why, yeeeeeees~! ✨️" in my best Taako impression or give a tip-o'-the-hat and wave and get to see people's eyes light up and smiles spread across their faces. 💖
#it always surprises me that people recognize a cosplay of a character that's based in a podcast that officially ended years ago#maybe the graphic novels are helping keep it around and keep interest in the Balance arc alive?#i have a blast cosplaying Taako and get so excited when people realize who I'm cosplaying#gonna hand out plastic “jewelry box” macarons with lil star beads in 'em at some future Ren Faire when trading trinkets! Just you wait!!!#surprised at how many people recognized Taako and how many TAZ cosplayers i continue to see--especially at an anime-centric con this year?!#pleasant surprises all-around honestly#wearing Taako as a cosplay helps me feel a bit more confident and like I am allowed to be Just A Silly Lil Guy (within reason of course)#yeah i get the feeling he's going to continue to be a repeating cosplay for me. prob will continue to iterate on it (new pants--longer wig?#the adventure zone#TAZ#the adventure zone: balance#taz balance#TAZ taako#taako#taako taaco#taako cosplay#crossplay#TAZ cosplay#ren faire#Renaissance Faire#comic convention#anime convention#umbra staff#bureau of balance#Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire#Emerald City Comic Con#Sakura Con#Sakura-Con#my cosplay#vero-valzer cosplays

Never have I ever seen a smile this fake.
#tfp ratchet#bumblebee#tfp bumblebee#tfp#transformers prime#tfp raf#s01e14 “Out of His Head”#this shot unsettles me every time I see it#because Bee just does not look like himself here#it's the colour of his faceplate the brows the tiny bit of his mouth you can see#pretty sure even his optics are the wrong colour#I would honestly not be surprised if you told me that was another imposter#and no one seems to think that something is wrong#no clue what they did to him#he looks as if someone had a gun to his head telling him to smile#but tbh I would probably smile like that too after being possessed by Megatron#it feels like he is just trying to put on a brave face for Raf#but there will be a breakdown later#writing a mini analysis in notes instead of doing university stuff right now#because my brain hates me#going back to homework now

Most Sherlock Holmes adaptations I've seen tend to place their Final Problem towards the mid point of the series (or even a bit earlier) - it's also in my opinion the best way of going about it, so you have time enough for the characters to adjust after the reunion but they know each other well enough for the events of Fina to be devastating.
Sherlock & Co is done with 20 of the adventures. How many are there? Fifty-something? Almost sixty? Let's say we'll be entering mid-point territory after the 25th story.
So let's pretend for a moment that we have 5 more stories until The Final Problem. Ok.
Estimating an adventure at 3 episodes each, that would mean little over 3 months - maybe 3 and a half? Starting, of course, from the end of Sign of Four, which will be somewhere in December.
So let's say 3, maybe 4 months into 2025. That would be, what? Late march, early april?
Early april?
John having to tell the listeners that Sherlock is dead, in early april?
Quick calendar search reveals what I was praying it would - the 1st of april will be on a Tuesday next year.
So what I'm saying
What I'm saying is Sherlock &Co has the opportunity to do the funniest fucking thing
#fyi I don't mean John pranks us about Sherlock dying#i mean it's just the first Tuesday after sherlock “dies” so that's just when he happens to tell the listeners#maybe he's not even aware of the date#and is surprised to see the reactions are less “oh my god oh no” and more “haha good one” or “funny but actually don't joke about that”#ahhh and then he'd have to double down either on the 2nd or next Tuesday and explain again that his best friend is actually dead#oh that would hurt but it would also be absolutely hilarious#for us who know Sherlock's not actually dead#anywayy#for the record i don't actually think they'll do fina as early as april#(but wouldn't it be funny)#They might do it at the actual midpoint#after the 29th story so let's say june/ july#Hoping they don't place it too late cuz then we won't have enough time to see how it affects all of them#Even if it's around the 3/4 point i think I'd be a bit bummed#Also midpoint is a good place to take a break#Of course fear nr 1 is leaving it for the very end and making empt the last episode#and the reason why the podcast ends is “look what happened if it wasn't for the podcast maybe Moriarty wouldn't have noticed Sherlock”#Like a “it's becoming too dangerous” thing#but that's the evil timeline (not us!!!)#Honestly if it were me I'd make fina the midpoint.... then hiatus...... return...... second half......#and then get another big dangerous villain for the last few eps#Maybe one of them (sherlock) almost gets killed (again) and that's why john decides that#it's been swell but we're ending the podcast cause apparently we're putting (too big of) a target on our backs#Almost lost sherlock again the risks outweigh the benefits etc etc#Of course they'll keep solving crimes together just stop broadcasting them to the world#And that's how I'd do it! :D#God i can't be trusted with tags#If you read this far I love you#sherlock & co#theories

Personal opinion incoming! Please don't see this as a cue to bash me or other artists.
--
One thing I was never really a fan of about the more popular depictions of Elias is that he looks so cartoonishly evil but in a queer-coded way.
#if I'm going to seriously characterize him if tma was my own story#I'd honestly make him transphobic#which a queer can be of course but honestly I'm not sure if I see Elias as queer or as someone who just reallycares about control#or maybe not even transphobic but cold and calculating#he wouldn't hesitate to tell you the things that would hurt you the most#and I just like the idea of the main antagonist just wearing a plain suit and no other knick knacks#just a good contrast between what he appears as and what he actually is#I appeared long after the series ended so I completely missed the whole Peter/Elias bit#so it surprises me that the fandom just sees it as canon#anyway I have more things to say but the tags are getting really long
