#i just can't wait to see more of this bc it's gonna reveal a whole side to this little puppet previously unknown

[the-acid-pear]

I have yet to keep inspecting the sweepstakes, I need some air and food first, but I might as well share what I've been thinking about Mike today, because I heard of an interpretation saying Mike was a camera man for Spamton which ... Is very interesting. Like for me this makes me think of Mike as someone who admired Spamton, someone way smaller than him, definitely younger imo, who simply excitedly followed along with the orders given. I mean, up to a certain point. I mean this feeling is reinforced in the q&a when asked about Mike, that makes Spamton get very defensive, almost protective. In my eyes it almost creates this almost platonic familiar bond dynamic whatever. But like this is just a shot in the dark, bc what we know is, 3 lines, period. But if when chapter 3, 4 and 5 come out and Mike is there and I'm right about these things then I'm gonna feel like a god tbh.

What would Jacob be like as a dad? I love him sm :(

FINALY SOMEONE ASKED ABOUT JACOB!

I'm gonna do hc's because I miss writing actual fics!

from the moment he finds out your pregnant, he's understandably scared bc DUH but he's also OVER THE MOON

he's constantly talking to the bubba and rubbing your belly (with your permission because he knows you might not always want to be touched bc of how much your body is changing)

Whenever we go to the store for ANYTHING, he has to take a detour to the baby section to grab the bubba a "present" and even if we're like "baby, we don't need to get all this" he gives us his famous puppy dog eyes that ALWAYS works on us and he KNOWS it does so he abuses that power whenever he can

He is SO grumpy whenever he can't make it to a sonogram appointment due to scheduling and filming and stuff so we make sure we're allowed to FT him during the appointments so he can still be "there"

I picture him being on the saltburn set during the anatomy scan (I don't see us doing a gender reveal party, we just find out at the appointment because jacob is so excited and can't wait) and when he finds out it's a girl (he's so girl dad coded) HE DOES THE NATE SCREAM (BUT IN A GOOD WAY) and he just walks around a bit screaming and cheering and we're like "don't make me laugh! I'm gonna pee! don't make me laugh!"

And because he's so excited, he goes to the store on the way home and buys ALL the cutest girly onesies and we have cupcakes in celebration

I feel like he'd LOVE old-timey names like Theodore, Arthur, Elanor, all the grandma/grandpa names lol

He turns into handyman Jacob and keeps the nursery a surprise from us and he does the whole thing himself so that we don't have to worry about it

That's the thing about Jacob as a dad, if he can do something to help us or take something off our plate so we don't get stressed out, he does it! Even when baby is born

Throughout our entire pregnancy, Jacob was reading all the books and researching all the things including how to help during labor and when we finally go into labor, he's a SUPERDAD. He distracts us, he asks us all the right questions and holds us and when it gets way too intense, he puts his face close to ours so the only thing we can focus on is his face

We're DEFINITELY scared to give birth because Jacob is a gentle giant and we're so scared to give birth to a baby giant ... spoiler alert, we're okay

JACOB IS SOBBING once bubba is born and is torn between focusing on us or the bubba

I feel like Jacob during our labor throws up from anxiety a few times because he's trying so hard not to show it but he's sooooo anxious

He takes ALL the nighttime feeds and changes and stuff, he calms the baby down whenever we need a shower or a nap, ANYTHING he can do to help us, takes bubba on walks while we go to the store and he gets us coffee and flowers and a card and stuff

He's basically the greatest dad

IMAGINE him babywearing that tiny bubba.... such a big boy and a tiny bubba napping on his chest while we do chores

God this was so fun! I hope you enjoyed. <3

PLEASE send me more Jacob dad thoughts !!!

alralr the race is starting but im not gonna be able to watch it so im gonna spend the last 20 mins or whatevr i have on yapping abt the fmf design for max 🙏

first, this is explicitly for the northern kingdom soo like the first chapter when he was still living there, this is what he would've looked like. ofc after moving he had to adapt to verhoeven's dress code so !!

last time i yapped a lot abt material and worldbuilding, this time around i wanted to focus a lot more on the actual design and what it means.

so cloak colour change, bc the other one didn't really give what it was supposed to give and i was able to put a lot more meaning into this one. dark inky blue cloak, and a pop of orange somewhere unexpected. the idea is, in an animation sequence the cloak could be affected by the wind revealing the striking verstappen orange. this type of instance would ofc only happen in situations like high up on a podium giving a speech, fight sequences etc. spaces where the show of power from the royals r required, the patriotic orange also showcases specifically on max's character the entirety of his person that he hides behind a heavy coat for the sake of his kingdom.

briefly back to material for a moment but the fur lining the cloak is mixed in an effort to have affordable distribution of resources. the standard quota would be for royalty to have refine. materials while the civilians can get mixed but max insisted on his being just like the ones of the people. his guilt could never.

the undercloak is black, inky like a single brush stroke and it effectively obscures his figure underneath the heavy cloak on top. the whole outfit is an illusion. and it'll only become apparent once we look at his red-cheeked, ruddy young face.

the layers, the fur, the cloak that swishes around his rather thin legs all serve a purpose and it's to obscure his silhouette to make him seem more imposing than he actually is. this young verstappen is the one that harshly trained those trainees and made them men. and he was angry. the orange underneath the sea blue tells many stories and his boyish overgrown winter hair (people r dying there's no time for style) paired with his rosy cheeks tell us an even fuller one.

his hands r hidden beneath his cloak, his knives r tucked in his belt right next to where he rests his palms. sometimes he thinks that he can move the knife as if it were his own head. his whole silhouette looks like an arrow. he's a weapon first. sometimes he forgets where the blade ends and he starts.

hshsj soo those r my thoughts. if we ever get some sort of ficlet or flashback chapters maybe a prologue on max in his hometown then i suppose this design would be relevant lol. i think first establishing who he used to be is important to establish who he became, so even if it's irrelevant rn, the teenage-young adult design would be quintessential to his development as a human methinks.

i loveddd the softness of chapter 6 !! very cute i can't wait to see where it all goes ur writing's beautifulll mwah xx

AHHHHHH OH MY GOD. please know I'm going insane about all the little pieces of this. off my rocker, they're peeling me off of the walls.

his fluffy hair!! and the blush!! hiding behind all the fur I need to squish him.

I love the way you showcased his need to not be seen "above" his people. he uses the same materials they do, he lives in similar conditions. he heats his own water, he hunts for his own furs when necessary, he goes out to the villages to assist however he can. he's a member of the community before he's a verstappen, and that's what's earned him their fierce loyalty.

THE ORANGE I LOVE IT. I see your vision about it being an incredible visual cue, and I think it's also very inspiring, seeing how they don't have bright colors all that often. it makes max easily identifiable in a fight if he wants to be, either to draw attention away from others or serve as a rallying point.

max having to "hide" himself behind those layers, to present an image that's older, larger, more of a figurehead— you get it!!

always having his hands near his weapons, constantly being aware, all of that is an important part of max. survival can be v harsh up north, and when it comes down to survival of the fittest, then it's rightfully assumed that the leader is the most adapted to the environment.

I do actually have a prequel ficlet in the works for him! it'll probably be a tumblr exclusive thing for right now, but it's in progress :)

once again I am going feral about this it's BEAUTIFUL and I'm absolutely obsessed, you've done an absolutely incredible job 🤍🤍🤍

[helpmyinterestsareverywhere]

Just realised I never actually gave a real verdict on my thoughts & feelings of Dragon's Rising Season 3 - I just made like 4 posts with Spoilers & then dipped LMAO

SPOILER-FREE VERDICT: holy shit. They are doing THINGS and they are doing them well. It's a FANTASTIC start to S3 & I'm clawing at the wall waiting for what they do for the next 10 episodes. It's seriously so good. Im so excited‼️‼️

SPOILER VERDICT:

- me every 3 seconds with every episode

ALL MY BABIES ARE FINALLY BACK!!!! UGH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.

LLOYD‼️‼️ ONI RECOGNITION‼️‼️ HE SPOKE ABOUT THEM & THEIR RELATION TO THE FSM - WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO A ONI/DRAGON LLOYD HERITAGE REVEAL TO THE OTHERS I JUST KNOW IT‼️‼️ uuuughhoughh Lloyd... my favourite traumatised pathetic wet cat of a man. How is he still kicking I will never know. HIT HIM WITH MORE TRAUMA PLEASE‼️‼️ although. Maybe scale back and don't kill him again because OH MY GOD. HE HAD HIS SOUL EATEN??? WHAT THE HELL?? he can't go ONE day without everything happening to him. ALSO! I really hope The Fact that Thunderfang ACTUALLY managed to eat his soul & get the Source Dragon energy comes back round to bite the Ninja in the ass. It probably won't but GOD they could definitely do something with that.

PIXAL AND ZANE. they're so in love it's actually disgusting /pos - let them kiss you COWARDS THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH SOULMATES FOR LIFE ooooooough I'm rooting for them so much - but also how dare they play built to protect like that I'm gonna kill them.

Sora and Frak were. Interesting. But I GET it. They're brought together through weird circumstances, Sora most DEFINITELY still had some wariness due to Frak being with Ras before & Frak desperately trying to prove himself to show that he's NOT a terrible person, just manipulated & misguided due to finding Ras first ouuuugh I love them. Their relationship, of 2 guys who have the same best friend but have never met, is SO GOOD. THEYRE AWKWARD, THEYRE SNIPPY AND SARCASTIC, THEY ARE NOT COMFY TO BEGIN WITH!!! & that's PERFECT! honest to god - it's 100% the vibe when you're new to a job (Frak) & desperately trying to make friends with your coworkers your age but desperately trying to seem normal oooough they're so weird. honestly I would have LOVED to see how they kept progressing it BUT!

SORA & ARIN. I can't lie - REALLY wasn't expecting Sora to go with Arin & Ras. BUT! It's probably bc I honestly didn't expect Arin to go back to Ras. I wasn't expecting him to go with the Ninja, no way in hell he does NOT feel comfy with them at the moment still & he's still mad at Wu, but I REALLY thought he'd go his own way bc he is just SO FED UP with Ras. (Aren't we all?) BUT the fact that they DID go together is really nice, my babies☹️ they're best friends they love each other so much they mean so much to me. I hope they leave Ras in part 2, I hope Sora can convince Arin to find his own way - OH! WHAT OF 1 OF THE NINJA FIND SORA BY HERSELF & TELL HER THAT ARIN'S PARENTS ARE ALIVE & SORA TELLS ARIN & ITS A WHOLE PARALLEL TO THEM FROM SEASON 2 WITH THE LYING & TRUST OOOOUGH. just a thought.

JAY! Jay. Jayyyyyyy... I saw someone say, on twitter I think? I dunno, that if we didn't know Jay = Rogue the reveal would have been AMAZING & I 100% agree - like HOLYYYYYY SHIT they've done him SOOOOOO well I love him. The whole thing with him in the last fight, STILL MAKING TERRIBLE PUNS??? NYA'S EXCITEMENT AND HAPPINESS OVER HIM STILL BEING IN THERE DESPITE THE MEMORY LOSS?? UGH DOOMED JAYA PLEASE BE UNDOOMED SOON I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE

Kai, Nya & Wyldfyre... OOOOUGH they're so silly. Nya & Kai were at each other's THROATS this time - I was a little wide-eyed every time they had their arguments, BUT I've seen SOOOOO many people say that they were ACTUALLY acting like siblings this time round & since I don't have those (hi yes im an only child) I'm gonna believe everyone else bc I don't completely understand how siblings work‼️‼️like TRUST I've seen siblings arguments and I would NEVER imagine doing that to someone and having us actually talk to eachother again afterwards but I guess that's just how you guys work. Freaks. ALSO! Despite me LITERALLY just saying i dont understand sibling dynamics lmao - Kai & Wlydfyre. Are definitely siblings. They WERE giving father & daughter when first introduced but NO WAY anymore. They are SOOOOOOOO older brother & little sister with a BIG age gap. I love them so much - ESPECIALLY Kai's attitude towards her & Roby. He was SO ready to kick ass when Roby got messed with & Wlydfyre was upset ouuughh...

MORRO: I didn't realise how much I missed him? He's not a character that I like. Think about a lot (like the main guys) but I've never hated him. But holy shit wow they've done him good they did him so good I LOVE his character. ALTHOUGH! WHY WAS HE EATEN AT THE END?? Brought him back JUST to kill him??? WILD do the writers even like him. DARETH: why. I have a... love/hate relationship with him tbh - I straight up never know how to feel about him he's so fucking strange. I've missed him. I wish he didn't come back. I hope he annoys the Ninja again. I hope he dissappears forever <3 ARRAKORE: UGH IVE MISSED HIM SO MUCH. I really love him☹️ he's so sweet and nice and the fact that he's ONLY doing good wishes UGH I CANT WAIT FOR HIM TO REBUILD DJINJAGO HES SO GOOD AND COOL. I want him back forever and he needs all the screen time ever actually

Anyway yeah LOVED this season‼️‼️ can't wait for part 2 gonna go back to rolling around on the floor in writhing agony /pos

[capn-twitchery]

how would your little guys have done in the other ambitions? like what if the arctic guys final wish was to kill the vake. or if twitch wanted to play a card game or perhaps get a massive cow sized diamond

ohoho anon you've opened a can of worms i've thought about So many times already >:)

ok i'll go by ambition, why not!! hearts desire first 🃏

honestly, HD probably would have made more sense for twitch considering their ultimate goal is immortality. why didn't they do it? well, you see, i clicked BaL before i knew how FL worked-- they uh, they didn't wanna make a deal with the masters?? card games are boring?? takes too long??

honestly, i'd bet they didn't know it was even an option. man they're gonna be so pissed when they find out they missed out on the marvellous & now it's over. that would've been way easier than sinking all these ships for fathomking immortality.

AS FOR GRACE-he was going to be a HD player! that was my original plan. before i chose nemesis for reasons i don't remember at all, his only goal was to get back home to the surface. but i guess it's a good thing he didn't do this, because, uh

no i had no idea about this being the ending when i first made that decision. i almost wish i had done it bc the reveal would have been so fucking funny

light fingers! 💎

so i was 🤏 this close to switching twitch to LF for basically the entire time i was playing through BaL. it just seemed like a more interesting story to me, and i Know twitch would want to steal a giant diamond

it's probably a good thing i didn't, though, bc it would really show off how much twitch sucks. they would throw that baby to mr fires without a second thought, i'm so sorry. they wouldn't care about it at All. frankly they'd be more upset that the diamond wasn't actually cow sized

there might be some interesting parallel/mutual understanding between twitch's time & treatment in the cage gardens & the orphanage, but they wouldn't be reflecting on it or anything,they're just burning the place down. captain zero self reflection

i don't know how you could possibly get grace to do light fingers. i don't think there's a single timeline where he does-stealing diamonds? crimes? handing him a child that looks like him? guy trying to marry him? he already went on the expedition to avoid marriage & children. this is the least grace ambition possible

also he can't marry poor edward, they have the same name, it'd be weird

ok i'llput the other two under a cut, this is already so long

bag a legend 👜

twitch already did this, for bragging rights at the medusa's head<3

grace doing BaL on behalf of the guy he killed is really fucking funny i honestly can't top that--him doing nemesis for that guy feels like he's solving a death in exchange for a death at his own hands, and maybe making it up to that guy's family-but just killing the vake for the guy??? 0 self-imposed justice here. why is he doing all that

this one does still work with the story of twitch finding out about his ambition and sticking around like "sorry you're doing What??? ok i have Gotta see this" bc they would not think he could do all that. i'm also not sure he could do all that

wait i just remembered the part where you have to kill the nuns. ok i'm gonna be real i think he'd fumble it there. he's not finishing this ambition :( vake hunter grace dream is dead

nemesis 🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡

grace already did this, it sucked & he was weird about it

for a fun detour tho: revival ending would be awful for grace. he'd do it with the intention of bringing the brother back to his family, but. he wouldn't learn til too late that grace Or the brother can't go back to the surface. so grace would just be stuck with this random teenager he has to look after, i guess, with all the guilt of murdering his brother. this solved nothing

twitch nemesis i've mentioned briefly before, but it would suck. because they have a whole mixture of people's memories inside their brain, their family members that they "remember" are an amalgamation of the family members of other people. twitch's mother, for example, is a mashed up mess of the memory of 50 other people's mothers, she never would have existed for real. but twitch doesn't know that! they think their memories are all their own

so twitch doing nemesis would require a memory of a loved one being murdered. so, basically, two options for outcomes here:

either they're doing nemesis for someone who doesn't exist & the masters are just. letting them keep going, i guess?? to see what happens?

they're doing nemesis for somebody else's family member (wow just like grace) without realising, based on one single memory of that person being murdered. the revival ending for that one would be rough

final verdict:

grace has a real bad time with all of these ambitions huh

twitch is having a pretty ok time everywhere except nemesis. but that tracks, because nobody is having a good time doing nemesis

YEHAW DA:V REVEAL THOUGHTS BELOW!!

Overall: Feeling so excited for this game. I'm climbing up the walls. I can't believe that was 20 minutes, it felt like 10. Need this in my hands yesterday.

What I liked:

-Holy fuck wow wow wow the hair looks like nothing I've seen in a video game before.

-Combat seems very different but also a natural progression of gameplay past. Real-time turn-based was always a little on the clunkier side, and while it never really bothered me, moving towards something more ME-style was expected. Very excited about being able to aim a bow. Would like to know what difficulty they were showcasing bc I'm considering jumping right into a Nightmare run.

-Now that I've been soulsborne-pilled the prospect of a parry mechanic has me buzzing.

-I feel like people are gonna dunk on the "stiffer" animation, but I prefer it so much more than the BG3/HZD constant wobbling. It'll make the key performances stand out instead of mostly jangling keys in front of a baby and letting the big moments get lost in the sauce. (Not that the aformentioned games didn't have good animation, just. If your characters don't need to move their whole body to convey dialogue I'd prefer if they didn't.)

-The sublety in the facial animations is CRAZY.

-The roleplay dialogue seems really reactive!! And the cuts to inject the unique dialogues feels smooth. I'm sure there will still be moments where it's easy to tell, but still cool. Seems like they're gonna be paying more attention to your personality type like DA2 too.

-So excited about Harding and Neve as companions and can't wait to meet everyone else.

-Neve's staff/wand makes me excited to see what kinds of focus options we'll get as a mage AAAA.

-God the costumes have so much swag. One of my hottest of many BG3 takes was that the costumes were overall flavorless. (Really hoping they didn't change the Grey Warden uniforms though that would really disappoint me.)

-Cinematography looks fantastic. Lots of well set up shots.

-NGL I felt something when Solas showed up. Wasn't expecting that. And while not perfect, I liked his interaction with Varric. Their relationship from Inquisition really slips under the radar if you're not bothering to look.

-Varric has never gotten over the trauma of what happened with Anders and it breaks my heart in a good way. God you could see it in his eyes!! [chef's kiss]

-However, I definitely have to kill Solas now for what transpired in this preview.

What I'm iffy about:

-The voice peformances feel a bit stilted. Not really what I'm used to from Bioware and I feel like it's important when the animations are more subdued. Hopefully this feeling will change when I get more of the game.

-The dialogue also felt a bit dumbed down. "Solas is doing his ritual!" "Yes. Solas' ritual. The ritual that we have to stop." Again, hopefully this is symptomatic of a tutorial level/trying to onboard newbies quickly and not the whole game lol. While I prefer this to dialogue that tries to sound smarter than it is, I'm really hoping we see an overall improvement from Inquisition.

-Sort of wish they went with the Andromeda dialogue system instead of bringing back Inquisition's, but I do like that it seems all dialogue options are getting tonal indicators again and they're not as easily conflated with morality. (Though I imagine people will STILL interpret it that way.)

-A little confused about them introducting Minrathous' panopticon shit and then immediately swerving into Solas' ritual. Would have liked some breathing room on that kind of worldbuilding.

- While I'm generally open minded about the change, I Do Not Love not being able to switch to playing companions. Might turn around on this if your ability to issue them commands opens up the closer you are to them/the more you grow into a leadership role. I do like that it seems you will eventually be able to command when they use abilities a la OG Mass Effect bc that was my biggest beef with the Andromeda gameplay, esp on Nightmare/Insanity difficulty.

-Not crazy about the new Pride demon design where are their leggies.

-Not really a Criticism, but they are definitely setting up for Varric to die and while I get it, narratively, I'm NOT HAPPY. Dragon Age has been almost allergic to scripted deaths so it's also gonna feel like being dunked in an ice bath. EVIL STUFF. IN DENIAL.

[bonsiii-art]

Did you saw the new update of kingdom? What's your thoughts of the story so far?

I DIIID, completed the first part not too long ago! And holy hell, does it just make me excited to see how this all gets wrapped up in the second part. ᵈⁱᵈ ⁱ ˡⁱᵗᵉʳᵃˡˡʸ ʷᵉⁿᵗ ᵗʰʳᵘ ᵗʰᵉ ᵉⁿᵗⁱʳᵉ ᵗʰⁱⁿᵍ ᵃᵍᵃⁱⁿ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵗᵒᵒᵏ ⁿᵒᵗᵉˢ﹖ ʸᵉˢ, ʸᵉˢ ⁱ ᵈⁱᵈ.

First off, I wanna say that the Candy Apple reveal was really funny to me bc when I first played, I was like " Apple Faerie is so cute!! :V". But then, I thought " Wait, a character that was never showed in any of the promotional material leading up to this update AND has an apple motif like the villain cookie they're going to release??...suspicious." Man, it would've been really crazy if they actually hid Candy Apple's identity up until release for maximum impact. I was a little dissatisfied with Shadow Milk's lies in Beast Yeast Ep 2; Beast Yeast EP 7 completely turned that feeling around like omg ┌(。Д。)┐ I wanted Shmilk to really dig into Pure Vanilla this time around and the writing team delivered! It hurts so bad that Pure Vanilla really just wants to save everyone but everything that was shown to him just illustrates that he can't with the way he is now. Shmilk wants him to see that and believe that he's doomed with no way out. PV, likely in the second part, will push through that and persevere, finally accepting truth with a more optimistic outlook. I think the concept of time being mashed together within Shmilk's relm of influence is really cool :P. Because that means we're gonna possibly see Pre-Corrupted Shadow Milk and also that it makes the whole thing about Truthless Recluse even sadder. Looking back on TR's actions and words, he helps bc there's still a part of him that wants Gingerbrave and co. to succeed in saving their PV. And after they fought, TR is even more sure that they could. But they can't save him specifically. He who is part of a doomed future. I want to look over other scenes that Shadow Milk was in before this update later so that I get a better grasp of his character to draw more stuff. But this chunk of story we got gives me plenty to think about. Thinking mostly about what PV said when he was thinking of the Fount of Knowledge and how Shadow Milk responded. I'm not sure if I have it right but I have a feeling that Shmilk's corruption began with his loneliness. Trying to escape from his stress as the pillar of Knowledge, he attempted to be like those who embrace ignorance. And when he couldn't even find understanding there (referring to him being derisive towards the cookies who lived in 'blissfully in oblivion'), he went ballistic. There is no cookie that could truly understand his experiences and he's been sour about it ever since. He sees PV in the role he used to be in except, in his eyes, in a more bastardized way. Like the witches are spitting in his face as he sees PV smiling, full of hope. Also, kind of outlandish theory here: Y'know how all the beasts (so far) are like "that's my soul jam, give it back"? but what if the reason Shadow Milk isn't saying any of that is bc he already has the soul jam? The Beasts torture the Ancients physically and mentally in order to re-obtain the soul jams but if Shadow Milk already has it, then all that's going on in EP 7 is like a victory lap for him. ⚆_⚆

ALSO NEARLY FORGOT!! When is that Black Sapphire guy gonna come into play?? Is he just gonna be another Shmilk lackey or is he actually gonna help us? I'm kinda hoping he's the latter bc he's only got the other half of the update to make his mark and I would love a reversal of expectations-

[rahleeyah]

I’m curious about how you’re feeling about OC episode 2 now that it’s three weeks out. Because there are people who are so annoyed by it after waiting 700 days for EO to reunite and that there was no movement to their relationship. That they wanted EO to have meaningful conversations or just momentum.

I think there was movement to their relationship 🤷🏼‍♀️ like for real I just watched it for the second time this weekend, and I still think it was fantastic - it was entertaining, and eo were on their A game. Elliot gets hurt and Liv is there with no hesitation, jumping straight into crazy shit with him and touching his face. Just before that he's the one she calls when someone threatens Noah; he's the one who comes for her. There's a comfort, an ease, a certainty between them now that wasn't there before Ohio; that's momentum to me.

I think what you mean is people wanted there to be a kiss or some spelled out declaration of feelings or some confirmation they were fucking, which is different from conversations and momentum; it's confirmation. And I don't think we're gonna get that any time soon.

And I'm kind of ok with that.

On a character level, big emotional fraught conversations isn't who they are. We can point to a handful throughout the first 12 years. A handful, 4-5 at most (the hospital, the steps, throw in "it's too complicated" and "you do it cause you have to" if you like, etc) across twelve years. Words is not their medium. It never has been. They're action people. What they do is what matters. And what did they do? Showed up for each other, without hesitation. Without the doubt that's been keeping them apart. She's not ignoring his calls anymore; she's there. And so is he.

On a practical level. We are not gonna get the things we talk about. A Lewis convo, the bottle episode of my dreams, several seasons of them dating. The show has built itself on the possibility; I am coming to believe more and more that the possibility will only ever come at the end. Bc the possibility is what they're selling, not the reality.

And personally I'm fine with that; I'd rather keep getting episodes of them going off on adventures together than see the show handle their relationship poorly. A reveal that they've secretly been sleeping together - which is this show's MO - would be a slap in the face to me. Them being cute and soft at home would be less interesting to me personally than whatever the fuck they've got going on now.

The problem is I think we, fandom as a whole, sometimes get so excited about our ideas for what could be that we start to expect them without grounds. There was no indication that this episode was gonna be anything other than what it was - that it would touch on what EO are to each other, that's what Chris said. And it did.

The support that they are to one another, the way Elliot is going off the rails and Randall incorrectly blames that on him trying to make his father proud while Liv instinctively understands his real reasons for doing it - and shares those motivations, and helps him - speaks to the depth of their connection. The fact that they're in this now, not separate from one another but with one another, helping one another, showing up for one another, that's big.

We want it to be the EO show but it's not. Neither of em. It's the Elliot show and the Olivia (mostly) show. So Elliot's show is gonna be about him, and SVU is gonna be what it's been since s13 - Liv heavy, but still doing character work only fleetingly. Whole seasons of 1.0 passed with only one or two major EO™ moments; we remember those moments so well we sometimes forget how much time passed in between them.

The hot dog cart only sells hot dogs. It has always only sold hot dogs. How can we be mad when we go to the hot dog cart and find out we can't get a burger?

This is not to say like. No one should have hope and eo is never gonna happen; I think it will, eventually. But I think when it happens it won't look like what we expect. And I think that in the meantime, what fandom creates, the beautiful universes we draw in our heads, the conversations we have and the connections we make, are fed by episodes like this one. That give us just enough to keep us inspired, to keep the creativity flowing, to keep us dreaming. Sometimes I prefer to dream, to tell my own story. Isn't it better to dream, sometimes, than to have someone come and say no you're wrong this is how it happens? To have hundreds of versions of the story, instead of just one?

Anyway. I liked the episode a lot lol

[motelroomjesus]

Okay so.... I read the entire The Heart Killers novel in one sitting. How did I do that??? By ignoring my responsibilities, BUT I had a lot of fun LMFAO

I'm excited to see how they adapt this to the screen. It really is your typical assassin story, but the classics are classics for a reason! Unexpectedly fluffy for the premise, but also this a f4f (freak4freak) romance. Really excited to see how they manage to show the sex on screen because zoo wee mama..... the boys are crazy. Anyway, reading the novel has solidly cemented Fadel as my favorite character, such an unexpected side to him that I think all the viewers have already clocked just from the first two episodes.

I'm gonna talk about some characters and plot spoilers now so don't read under the cut if spoilers ruin your life

Okay, so already they've deviated just a bit from the novel, I'm assuming due to time and filming constraints (u know the usual). Mostly with Fadel and Style's story, it's nothing major tbh they just got the ball rolling pretty fast on them. They've stayed true to the characters, especially Style! Style is just as flirty and bold in the novel as he is in the show, which makes the bomb of him being romantically and sexually inexperienced in every aspect all the more shocking, even to Fadel. Their first sexual encounter together was rough until Fadel realized that he was Style's first. It was a really revealing moment for both those characters to me as a reader. It's the first time we see Fadel falter in front of anyone and the first time we see Style fully drop the confident mask he puts on. A very vulnerable moment and it's definitely the catalyst that propelled them MUCH closer to each other emotionally (and physically 😵‍💫).

Oh, FADEL...... He is so shxkbdksn. I love him to bits, like honestly. He is so deprived of affection. He is genuinely so soft hearted whether it's about his brother or his lover, he's constantly looking out for them. Even when he confronts Style later on, he's not even mad. He's so genuinely filled with sorrow and sadness that it's come to that, what he thought was the conclusion of the only love he's allowed himself was genuinely heartbreaking for him and it was apparent despite the tough assassin facade he was trying to keep up in front of Style. He is SO devoted and loyal. Love him BAD.

Bison, also seems to be presented pretty novel accurate so far. He seems too carefree and naive, but he's had a knife in his hand just in case the whole time. He really wants to live a different life. He wants out really bad and, unlike Fadel who made that decision after Style, Bison came to that before he even met Kant. He wants to fall in love and do laundry and cuddle with someone. He just wants true freedom. It made me feel even worse when he finds out of Kant's betrayal because he chose to let that guard down despite the gnawing feeling he had in the back of his head that he can't trust anyone. He took the chance on Kant and it ended up biting him in the ass. Also, we need more power bottoms I LOVE U BISON !!

Now Kant...... I can't say I liked him all that much until the end of the novel. 😭 He's genuinely selfish unless it's about his little brother and very much gives every man for themselves. He's all about self-preservation. He had no problem pulling an unknowing Style into dangerous undercover police informant work, did in fact drug Bison at one point, so yeah not on my nice list at all. I do think he had feelings for Bison at the beginning, but they weren't significant enough for him to stop what he was doing. He ends up redeeming himself a bit at the end. He tried to get the Captain to let him off the hook for this mission to no avail, and you know with the whole u kidnapped me and beat me up bc I betrayed u but I still waited for u to come get me at this abandoned house u left me at for hours so I could confess my love for u bit, but still. Very up and down feelings for him as a reader.

The bdsm was actually interesting to read here too. Sane (kinda), safe (sometimes) and consensual was really the name of the game here and I'm grateful for that. Were things a little under negotiated? Yeah, but I'm willing to look past that considering what s&m dynamics look like in other series and novels 😬 There was also a brief description of subspace that I found kind of nice. It was interesting to see these aspects of sexual dominance and submission present in a novel from a genre that often foregoes diving even an inch into safe kink (and sex) practices.

Also that masturbation scene is NOT in the novel from what I recall, so THANK YOU JOONG AND JOJO !!!!!

Crazy, but expected plot twist, and yet I was still at the edge of my seat. Granted I am easy to entertain, but I really enjoyed reading this. I actually would recommend this novel to others. It was just fun 😽

[silverzoomies]

totally gonna send you random headcannons of my xmen dr based off of stuff i see you reblog

im forced to move into the mansion to stay safe and i only agree to it under a few circumstances:

no classes for me

my own room with my own private bathroom

access to a kitchen bc i love to cook/bake

some times i can’t sleep so i’ll randomly bake cakes or cupcakes or whatever it is i’m in the mood for and i like to believe peter will bother me while i do it and he tries to help but he ends up splashing batter all over the kitchen

when we celebrate his birthday for the first time together i bake him a giant twinky cake and he cries (he gets sick from eating over half- lets be real the ENTIRE cake but that’s okay we still love him)

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH DJFIEHFIJRJR !!! y'all, please keep sending me stuff like this. it makes my entire week, you don't even know !! 💗💗💗

you have nooooo idea how jealous some of the students are gonna be !! like, c'mon !! you get a private bathroom ?? that's just not fair !!

your baking habits are so frequent, the students forgive you for stealin' the private bathroom. as long as you're makin' tasty treats they can indulge in, you're alright in their book

one night, you're up late and baking. that's when peter spots you. you're mixing some good good in a bowl. lost in your own, little world. got the radio on at a low volume, listening to some tunes

but it's like...3am. you know that, right?

i mean, it makes sense for him to be up. he really doesn't need to sleep when his energy is so limitless. but you? what, did you have a bad night or somethin'?

peter just wanted to grab a quick soda, rush back upstairs, play some mortal kombat (on the arcade cabinet he obtained 100% legally, fyi)

but - guilty as charged - he's a sucker for sweets. and now...you've made him a little curious...

this becomes somewhat of a habit

at some outrageous hour in the night, you'll bake again. peter'll be there, leaning over your shoulder. he'll pester you. tell you all these (slightly exaggerated) stories of all the cool stuff he's done

he sticks around, at first, just to taste test everything you make. but after so many nights - he kinda just really likes hangin' out with you

eventually, he tries to help. but cooking is a slow process. you tell him a thousand times - he needs to be patient !! he can't rush the process !!

next thing you know, you're turning around at the sound of a casual "whoops." there's batter everywhere. flour. a few broken eggs. he's licking unmixed batter off the whisk. he makes a face when it doesn't taste like yours

"i followed your recipe to a t, dude. i dunno how i bombed so bad!! i even added a little extra vanilla"

"peter, you used the whole bottle"

"so? what's wrong with that?"

seriously? what did he even do wrong?? who can complain about more vanilla ??

on his birthday, you tell him you have a surprise for him. and his first, immediate assumption is-

"is it a cake? it's a cake, isn't it? definitely a cake. what kind? did you make your own frosting? how big is it? it's huge, right? please tell me i don't have to share-"

and again, you remind him he has to be patient. which makes him antsy. but...fine !!! he's (kind of) willing to wait, if it means he gets somethin' tasty out of it

you reveal it's a giant, twinkie cake. same recipe as the originals, but even better. you put your own little spin on it. made it extra special. and this is...LEGIT SO CRAZY !! it's totally AMAZING !! like, how did you even know ??

"i could kiss you right now, y'know that? i could, and i might. right after i dig into this bad boy. just you wait."

he doesn't think before he acts. ever.

he devours the whole thing before you can remind him to pace himself

normally, his rapid metabolism saves him any aches and pains. he can swallow down a whole pizza - or two - and be just fine

but this cake...this is a really, really big one. you went wayyyy above and beyond with it

he'll be keeling over in bed later, writhing in tummy achin' agony. but your baking is so worth the suffering

[thealogical]

goddd thank u im so glad u agree the finale waa bad.

like yeah ruby had no arc. she had huge fears of abandonment - but turns out her biomum loved her and named her and immidately reconnects when she finds out. wouldnt it be stronger to have her biomum not want her, or to suck, or to be dead or something? and ruby could learn that shes worthy all on her own?

also why is ruby finding her biomum not connected to 15s struggles with his own "adoption"?

and the show is like ohhh you were stupid for ever thinking theres something supernatural about rubys mum she's not important/special!! like we all only thought she was special bc the show told us that!

the season as a whole theres a huge lack of the doctor like. looking at clues and figuring them out (so we can understand him as a character). like he does it in ep1-3 and 7 lots but theres so much of the series where he does nothing! we dont see him figure out he needs the outside metal, we're just suddenly in a scene about him getting it. we dont see him and ruby figure out a plan to defeat sutekh, they did that offscreen!

also making sutekh destroy all life and then they bring it back easily is unsatisfying yknow? have them work to stop him killing everyone! have them do things (like in sutekhs original episode pyramids of mars).... instead of giving the doc and ruby stupid plot armour.

and sutekh being wrapped around the tardis since the 4th doctor is such a strange and baffling retcon lmao

anyway god sorry this is long im just glad u also didnt like the finale bc so many ppl on here have been praising it and i dont get it

I know this ask is pretty old and at the time I agreed with you but I couldn't really think of much more to say. Looking through my inbox and seeing it today though made me reflect on the writing again and you touch on some problems that I've been feeling with the show even more since watching the new Christmas special.

Nothing is set up properly, our heroes aren't shown figuring anything out, and the pacing is all over the place.

When the show was first revived it followed a classic, serial, monster of the week style formula. The Doctor and companion(s) arrive in a place which contains some sort of threat. The setting is explored by our protagonists and hints at the threat are dropped slowly, increasingly building tension until the identity of the threat is revealed and the rest of the episode is dedicated to running from the monster and figuring out how to beat it. I can't speak for Moffat and Chibnall's time as showrunners, but this is how the average episode goes from series 1 to series 4.

This format is well-paced, it has set up and pay off, and it's compelling because the viewer is always along for the ride. We figure out the episode's mysteries at roughly the same pace as our heroes because the writers gives us roughly the same information that they give the protagonists.

The new episodes pretty consistently fail at these fundamental principles. There is often a great disparity in knowledge between the protagonists and the audience.

Why are all these accidents happening around Ruby? It's Goblins that feed of accidents, which the Doctor already figured out off screen.

Why is all the music gone now? Oh wait we already saw at the beginning of the episode, its Maestro. Guess we have to wait for the Doctor and Ruby to figure it out. How are they gonna beat them? Oh like they have to play a special chord, a fact they figure out randomly and then the Beatles do it for them I guess.

Oh man how's the Doctor gonna get off this landmine? Ah an AI ghost fixes it for him cool.

Who is this mysterious woman following Ruby and why is everyone who interacts with her changing like this? Lol lmao the writers couldn't think of any answers so I guess we'll never know.

Wow, how are the Doctor and Ruby gonna beat Sutekh? They figure it out off-screen. RTD seemingly wanted to prove he could be just as much of a hack as Moffat with this one.

How is the Doctor going to save Joy and deal with this ominous briefcase? We get a whole montage about his life while he does this, and he still fucking figures it out off-screen goddamn you Steven Moffat.

These episodes feel too fast paced and unsatisfying to watch because they're all pay off, no set up. We barely get a chance to figure things out, because nothing is established. In episodes where we do get sections of slow build up, we usually either already have the answers that our protagonists are looking for, or the build up was pointless and the characters figure out how to win by magic. The pacing in many episodes is exhausting because you're being given a million questions and none of them are answered, our heroes just figure it out off screen or suddenly by magic and the show has to play you some overbearing dramatic music to tell you how important the moment is because the writing does nothing to invest you in the plot.

I was hoping for a return to form from this series, but it seems like we're just getting more smug nonsense. It's really disappointing.

"Dean doesn't reciprocate" MY ASS

I'm just kinda gonna write down my thoughts about this. I'm in season 7 now, I know what happens in the very last episode, but nothing else so I don't read any posts about the show here yet :) (just so yk and don't accidentally spoiler me) Oh and I do this mostly out of memory and some notes that I took, so this might be a little chaotic :,)

Okay, so the whole season 6 fight was crazy to me. The way Cas was watching while Dean kept on defending him. And he knew how much Dean trusted him. ("The worst part was Dean. He was trying so hard to be loyal, with every instinct telling him otherwise.") It hurt him, but the whole time he was, again, protecting Dean. And yes, he hurt Dean, but I think it was as bad for Cas to hurt Dean, as for Dean to be hurt.

Then, Dean apologizing for the others? They (thought they) were wrong and Dean had kept on trusting Cas, so why was it him who apologized? Because he knew it meant more to Cas when he did it? Idk.

Cas wasn't able to lie when he looked in Dean's eyes.. come on? Also, the fact Dean wasn't actually mad when he found out was really interesting. He was just extremely sad. Yes, his trust got broken and maybe he was just tired of it all, but it didn't seem like that to me, I felt like he usually got madder.

I love how they always share those sad looks when they go apart after the fights btw, such a best buddys thing to do.

It was really hard for both of them. We can see that Dean can't sleep that night and that Cas comes back to talk to him alone, because it only matters to him that Dean understands.

Oh and the "I'm doing this for you, Dean." I don't even need to explain his motives, because he reveals them himself.

Then the scene from my edit. (at the top) (it's kinda laggy, bc it's slow-motion, but anyways) They both have teary eyes a lot, but this is different. Dean turns aways because he knows he's gonna cry and Cas disappears before he really starts crying, but they are both fuckin crying about this. They're both just sad and want this to end. Even when Dean said he's gonna stop him and so on, it was way less threatening than usually. And Cas kept coming back when Dean was in danger.

But Dean still cared as well. In the first episode of season 7, when Cas asks for help, he pretends he doesn't care about him anymore for a bit, but you can clearly see that he still does. You at least can see it when he thinks Cas is dead. He's devastated.

It's kinda funny how Bobby's there but Cas very obviously only cares to make it up to Dean. Like he always says "they're my friends" but in reality he means Dean.

AND THEN.. Cas tries to protect everyone else again and sends them away but DEAN STAYS. I think he knew that there wouldn't be anything he could do, but it didn't matter.

Cas dies again. (give my man a break, please) Dean keeps the god damn coat? I think he might've done it, because he was hoping that Cas would come back again. Anyways, scene was devastating.

In the judge/court episode about Dean's guilt, I immediately hoped Dean didn't feel guilty about Cas too, but was pretty sure he did. My worries were confirmed in episode 5.

So yeah, I suppose that's the part where I am, I guess I have to wait 'till Cas comes back now :,)

I don't think anyone read all this, but I hope I didn't make any grammar mistakes, bc English isn't my first language, so I sometimes get stuff mixed up (I definitely made the tenses confusing). Anyways, rant end.

[mondothebombo]

hAH HI MONDO

I was hoping you would reblog it because you’re the author, I wanted to bug the most. >:)

Picked 4 questions cause I’m greedy 

When you think you’re all alone:

5. Is there any scene you're excited about writing?

11. Is there any scene you can't wait for people to react to when reading? Why?

15. Do you have any unwritten scene that you think about a lot?

20. Give a vague description of something that will happen without revealing too much

Not a question, I’m very excited for any more Wytyaa. If it gives you motivation I’m waiting for next chapter to come out to do more animatic/animation. :D

Going to rework what I already have be more fitting and better quality, I’ve been practicing my animation because I want it to be the best I can do. You should see the mysterious animatic I’m working on when it release it it’ll show you where I’m at :)

That song touched me in a way, I love how the resilience echoes in your story. I want my art to make people feel things. I’m very committed I promise it’ll be finished one day.

I’d love to get started….. But dang looks like someone gotta write the next chapter XD

Oli thank you so much!!!!! asdfghjkl i totally get it don’t worry and i gotchu. i make it a point to write at least a little portion of it everyday bc i’m so excited abt chapter 7, but there’s just so much i wanna cover it’s gonna be a long ass chapter

5. Is there any scene you’re excited about writing?

very much so!!! i have a plan in place for how i wanna have the others find out about skybound, or jay and nya telling everyone about the horrors, but it’s a ways off from happening

11. Is there any scene you can’t wait for people to react to when reading? Why?

there’s a few actually! there’s a nya centric portion that’s gonna start the next chapter that i’ve very proud of bc i’m taking inspiration off of personal experience. another scene where i expand on the fact that mustache told nya what jay wouldn’t. and im super excited to get to everyone else’s pov to everything, especially cole bc his and jay’s relationship is something i cherish

15. Do you have any unwritten scene that you think about alot?

since chapter 8 is going to dip into the seasons following skybound, im very excited to explore the fact that nya saw jays birth mother when she and kai went back in time in season 7. and im gonna deal with the whole ninjago decoded debacle

20. Give a vague description of something that will happen without revealing too much

the team is gonna take a trip to the hospital bc mustache wasn’t always a pirate

thanks for the ask! :D

[golbrocklovely]

since this anon kinda gets into some bridgerton spoilers, i'm gonna put it behind a keep reading so in case you haven't seen it yet, nothing is spoiled for yall :)

i'm gonna make a whole post on my feelings for part one bc omg i have so many, but i'll go into some detail about how i feel now.

BOOK SPOILERS ARE IN HERE (so if you don't want to know anything at all about this season/book, turn back now)

i was interested to see how things played out with eloise and pen strictly bc in the books, since LW has been doing it for so long, eloise isn't all that upset at finding out about pen being her.

but in the show, i was curious to see how they would make el and cressida work. and i think it sort of works. but my whole thing is, i can't stand c. like i get why she acts the way she does, but compare her to pen who is basically in the same situation.

pen also comes from a family that is mean to her and doesn't treat her well. she is also in competition with the ladies of the ton (and not only them but her own sisters at one point) to find a man, and yet she isn't mean. she doesn't pick on others to make herself feel bigger. her and c are basically one in the same, but the difference is that pen is internal with her negativity while c boasts herself as something more while simultaneously not feeling like she measures up.

this obviously brings into the question LW, but i think in a way pen isn't really saying anything the ton isn't already thinking. she's just making it widely known. in a way, she's the gossiper for all ppl - the rich and poor. so while yes, she can be mean in the LW columns, she's really only saying what everyone was saying to her and around her. and even then, she's also bringing herself down by reporting on herself and her family, which puts her in even more negative withstanding.

i kinda wish they would have kept c mean just for the sake of being mean, not have the audience try and pity her in a way. i think it would have been more entertaining if she was just rude bc she was never taught to be nice, rather than it being a desperate ploy to get a man before everyone else while being deeply insecure. idk. in my own personal experience, while you have bullies that are bullied themselves, which is why they act the way they do, some ppl are just destined to be dicks lol

and pen will definitely reveal herself as LW to colin, and probably her family and the bridgerton family. but i don't see it being shared with the rest of the ton only bc that kinda defeats the purpose of the show. in the books, there is the whole carriage scene, but then she continues being LW even tho colin thought they both agreed to her stopping it then and there. but regardless of that (since that won't work in the show), i think she'll reveal it right before they get married, and some form of drama will occur.

also.. and don't take my word for this since it hasn't been confirmed or anything, but i heard there's gonna be another carriage scene so……… maybe we'll get that from the books after all lol

(plus the mirror scene... plus an apparent montage of them fucking so............... i'm sat and ready)

as for what's gonna happen in part two, i have seen some spoilers so i won't say them since i highly doubt you want to be spoiled, but from the little preview they did show (plus some bts i've seen that has been going around twitter from some news network that went on the set to film them do part 2) i think like the books c is gonna confess to being LW and that's what makes pen pass out. and then she's gonna try to counter c with her own LW column calling her out, and then she'll get caught by colin. i think a variation of that is gonna play out.

i'm just hoping that by the end her and eloise are friends again. bc their scenes in this first half… i literally cried twice. especially at the "would you like to come up" part. it just hits a bit close to home in a way for me.

i just can't wait for what's gonna happen. like i need this second half NOW.

4.7 archon quest live react utc!

okay I started this a little while after starting the quest but I'm talking to atossa now

my original theory was the missing guy was dain but this dude has lived in the village for ages so it can't be LOL

I'm done till cmi~light ✨✨✨✨ seriously 3 damn days it took just to be here

SWEAR these two dorkes like hell they are such idiots and clowns in love how they are not obvious to eachother but to whole world I'm sure even if stranger sits with them for moment they wouldn't able to tell...

The way (yn/oc) tells jk how he also treats her so good in (cmi light) like gurl 🐥👊🏻 what in hell you were expecting!??? A LOVE CONFESSION not in hell baby he is doing he is DUMBASS I cracked up so bad on his bant ass reply like "yea I treat Every women same as you" you ain't no special girl mf 🤭🤭 fuck man i felt second hand embarrassment for BOTH THEM because first of all why our gurl asking those dumb questions when WE know we gonna get dumber answers for that.... jezz that boy WHY HE IS SUCH idiot tell me he gets better on because no way our oc is falling in love with his super idiots ass (besides those delicious moves and sure that 🦴🔫 are very rare can't blam her) but still WHY HE thinks he not good or enough for oc or what's with so much not so required insecurities and looks like boy's all smartness 😒is in his peepee and hands only and god's be good not again those dumb secret why can't he be more open.

The scene in cmi-light gurl where jk appears from nowhere reminds of some old romance movie sitting of where this fl is all sadden up in her own misery sitting outside and suddenly another moment she try to move on and gets up but sees there the ml is all snuggled up in the sunset all the sun light covering him and all she could see is his outline and there he is waiting for her it was so good that it's making jump and paint like I wanna do sketching or water painting of that scene

Anyways I will let you know if I ever able to create one but seriously I WANT THAT SCENE HAPPENING REAL LIFE 😭😭 maybe to us or someone anyways bye

lesson to be learn never to be so desperate kids

lmfaoooo omg yeah, the story is kind of an idiots to lovers and a bit of a slow burn thing 😭 not sure how to react to the jk slander and the multiple mentions of the word 'idiot' lmfaooo i created the guy in a way that even i fell in love hard 🤣 you'll know why he's not so open!! he's been through a crap ton that makes it not so easy for him to speak his mind and "act" secretive, which is ofc frustrating for both, but also valid since they haven't been in this thing together long enough for him to reveal such bad trauma. be patient!! 😋

i'm happy you've been reading!! lights is somehow the chapter where most people drop by and leave a couple kind words hehe still one of my favs, too!! i hope you enjoy the rest (and them being idiots bc it's far from being overrr 😂) and thank you for going through my beloved magnum opus!!! you described the scene in lights so beautifully, too, bc yeah oc really did breathe that sigh of relief :') if you ever paint anything like that, i'd love to see it :) hope to hear from you again soon 🤍
