Sometimes i want to just SCREAM to people how much a certain star wars scene/character/episode/movie means to me.

Like listen- nobODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT SEEING LEIA HOLDING BEN KENOBI’S HAND DID TO ME I WILL NEVER GET OVER IT

[nightfoxqueen]

This man brings out a feral side of me that I can't put into words and I love him for it! 🥴🥰🦊

I needed to add the sweetness of this; the way he looks at her. You can see that to him, she's his entire reason for living and I love that! 😍

[karuinekom]

those past few days, i’ve been thinking over and over about the tiniest crumbs of closeness frenchie offers to izzy in those three episodes

the way frenchie holds izzy’s gloved hand as soon as he starts crying, even if fang is already there, hugging the small man the best he can, giving him warmth and solace. and then, frenchie leans on izzy’s leg in the red flag jail, when, by now, the crew has already accepted their fate with resignation because having a deadline is much better than what they had before. and at this moment, frenchie naturally leans on him to let him know he’s there, his head propped on izzy’s thigh, comfortable enough to do it. frenchie’s not afraid of him. none of them is undoubtedly frightened of izzy, who not so long ago despised every one of them, every one of the useless pirates of stede fuckin’ bonnet’s dysfunctional crew, because now that specific man is the only one keeping them from being swallowed by the kraken

i like to think that despite the locks keeping that box in the back of his head closed, frenchie can’t lock far away the hurt of seeing someone he cares about being abused even more. now, the only comfort he can give is that unspoken intimacy, those untold words, and that warm touch reminding izzy he’s not alone in the pile of shit life reserved for them

Miles has become my comfort character lately and I knew I just had to write this down. Anyways, enjoy!

Love,

Mint

Your thoughts were blank, empty and a few seconds later it was loud, as if they were screaming at you. This has been an ongoing cycle that tortured you the entire day. You turned off your phone and placed it on 'Do Not Disturb' before chucking it across your bed.

Chest heaving up and down deeply, with hands that were lightly shaking, it started to feel like the world was too big for you again. Even if you were in the comforts of your bed, your room just seemed too much for you as those invasive thoughts flooded your mind.

Here they are again.

Your eyes violently shut close, trying to make those inner voices go away. The pillows and blankets that normally gave you solace didn't seem to be working. 

These overwhelming thoughts got you too preoccupied that you didn't hear your window sliding up as Miles creeps in silently. He was texting you because he had sensed something was off during school today even though you tried to act normal. 

Of course, he'd know. He always did.

He was sure to close your window as quietly as he came in before turning around and taking in how dark and heavy your room felt. His fingers gripped the edge of his mask, removing it in one smooth pull and placing it gently on your floor. 

Miles knew that any noise would've made things worse. So he inched towards you, praying to god that your floors wouldn't creak. Once he's reached you, he sees you huddled in on yourself, eyes closed, tears silently flowing down your eyes.

You felt the weight shift on your bed, and you didn't have to open your eyes to know who it was. He gently placed a hand on your knee, his thumb rubbing circles around it so lightly it was as if it was a feather. 

No words needed to be spoken. You removed yourself from your little ball, allowing him to move even further to you, letting him enter your personal space as you have many times before. 

You trusted him enough for this.

Miles takes this silent permission, before continuing towards you. He transfers to sit beside you as he cautiously wraps an arm around your shoulder. As if on instinct, your face turns towards him, burying yourself in his neck.

Quiet sobs escaped your dried lips as you relished in the familiar warmth of his hold. "Shh... It's okay I'm here amor," He whispered, kissing the top of your head lightly as his hand caressed your hair. 

"I'm... I'm so sorry I'm such a... fucking burden..." You hiccuped between tears. Miles' heart broke for you, wrapping his other arm around you to give you a loving embrace. "No don't say that... you know you're not a burden to me. You're far from it."

He was careful to not overstep your boundaries as it was extra sensitive right now, so he did all that he could at the moment and continued to hold you, kissing your head from time to time. 

"I don't even... understand why you choose to stay with me." You choked, tears flowing harder, and sobs getting a bit louder. Miles felt himself tearing up a little. 

Oh, what he'd give to beat up those inner thoughts of yours that tormented you.

"I love you too much Amor, I'm never leaving you. I've come to love every single part of you, even those that you may think would be your flaws, I love them. I love all of you." He cooed as he tried to hold back his tears. Miles knew he had to be strong for you, he wanted you to know that you could rely on him during these times. 

"All your scars? Beautiful. They made you who you are, the person I love the most in the world. It shows how strong and brave you are. Mi corazón, I'm not going anywhere okay? I'll be here for you, every step of the way."

You couldn't help but feel warm from his words as you felt those voices fade little by little. His hand caressed your cheek, gently lifting your face towards him. 

When you saw him, all you saw was a boy who had so much love for you, who cared about you so much, and who knows what you need better than you did. He knew what to do, what to say as if he's had you memorized and engraved into his soul. 

His eyes lightly glistened as tears threatened to fall. Miles ached for you because he wanted you to see yourself the way he did. He practically wanted to give you his eyes to show you how magnificent you were. 

"What would I do without you Miles?" You murmured as tears continued to flow out. "If I can make you love me, maybe you can make me love me."

Miles closed the gap between the two of you, connecting his lips with yours gently, like a touch of a dandelion. He pulls back as he looks at you with so much love and admiration. "I'll make sure to remind you every day of the million reasons why you're perfect to me, I won't stop even after you've learned to love yourself. I'll tell you all these things for as long as time allows me, amor. You have my word."

Fin.

TEENAGE METAL HEAD KAFKA

So a couple people had posted some fanart of a sort of Rock band AU starring Reno, Hoshina, and Narumi, right?

Here's the thing... I have had this idea for a while now. I have plans to talk about this in some up and coming fics... This has a severe choke-hold on my brain and I had no intention to express this any other way until I saw the fanart this morning. Apologies while I try to ride the coattails of others success because I NEED other people to be obsessed with this so I can stop feeling alone in this idea

I'm going to go into more detail about my headcanons for this particular idea in the fic this pertains to when it comes out, but I just wanna say that I like to think he had a shit-ton of piercings. He still has his nose ring hole, but he doesn't wear it anymore because he had to lose it to get a job. It freaks the shit out of Iharu and Reno when he cleaned it out at base though. The guitar is supposed to be black with gold streaks running through it kinda like how they do kintsugi, but he was already wearing a lot of black already and I haven't mastered shading that well just yet. And I originally wanted to have him wear the School of Rock Jacketless Leather Sleeves but I chickened out at the last second. The pose with the guitar was originally going to be based off of one I found of Sleep Token, but the pose didn't turn out right. Now instead of looking badass like I wanted, now there's just a corner with him looking cozy.

Honestly, a major part in how I characterize him is him acting like an Elder Badass Mother fucker. Like I get he's supposed to be goofy until shit hits the fan, but I would like to see him be cool in his off time too. He would absolutely be the last one on base anyone would expect to have almost tasted stardom, like he got to sing duet with Five Finger Death Punch or something. Of course he's not the type to brag about it or anything, he's just the type to be casual about having all these moments where he got to rub elbows with a lot of famous musicians. I can just see him getting into a fight with Narumi over a band or something and Kafka pulls out the "Buddy, I was supporting them back when they were the opening act for Black Sabbath. I still have the autographed tour list t-shirt from '86!" (For context, Black Sabbath is 55 years old.)

Would you please draw Prism and Right Robot being adorable together

Any excuse to draw Prism and her bobots...but before I could draw this I had to actually do a Right Robot design that was different to Robutler:

One thing I really like to do to stylise the robots is to make their head brim thing look like a hat? I draw Robutler's similar to Phoenix's hat & I made Right Robot's similar to a hard hat! Also on Robutler I make their antenna curl like how I when draw Prism's hair :]

Anyways yeah...she loves her bobots so much :(((

I also have a little headcanon that is post-IEYTD 3 where Prism fixes up Robutler using half of the Kinesium core from Right Robot and they're kind of inseparable because of it..since Right Robot brings up Robutler in Blind Spot I like to think they were already buddies but now they're just super bonded

Anyways ty for the ask!! +2 sketchbook pages again and I also filled another page doing a comic so I'm at 11/28. I'm dubious about finishing it at this point because I'm very busy this next week but it won't stop me from trying to get it to the best state I can before hand-in :]

Trolls Band Together Spoilers

(Transgender spice???)

I haven’t seen anybody really talk about it but I like Bruce has some trans swag

Like, okay I know his name change was supposed to be because he wanted to distance himself from the band but let me have my fun.

Bruce changes his name and Clay and Branch immediately start calling him Bruce. John Dory is the only one who still calls him Spruce and even Clay has to correct him bc John has trouble coming to terms with the fact that his brothers have forged their own identities.

AND Bruce was set having one body type (absolutely ripped) because that’s what was expected of him, but after he leaves he finds a life and a body he’s happier in and doesn’t feel the need to change for anyone.

I’m sure I don’t need to dig into the metaphors, Bruce with trans swag!!!

[ratatatastic]

it is an utter shame he doesnt model more often genuinely an utter shame

I've a halo of light...maybe I am a ghost after all.

The Bonnie’s Bakery/Pyun Pyun… obsession is real bro. I honestly really enjoyed the first Bonnie’s game when it came out, the primary twist may have been predictable but it was still really enjoyable and the rabbit hole has that the games lore has is full of other twists I didn’t expect. I played the demo for the latest edition to the universe, Pyun Pyun Heart Throbbing Endless Love Bakery! If you haven’t already and you like the games go play the demo that’s up and support the kickstarter, I really want this bro… Abe gonna make me act up-

But jokes aside, I played the demo with my sister who also loves these games and we both wanted to do different things, she flat out wanted to drop kick Ron, so I decided that for my version of the MC I would draw I’d have two. One for the actual MC who, when I played was a lot more timid and my people pleasing habits seeped into her, and another for how my sister preferred to play, with violence. I named my MC Maria Pygmy cause me small :( but also it ties into the fact that the animal Bonnie sees the rival as is a mouse. She’d be the actual baker whereas the other character, Alex Lycan, would be more or less a cashier. If you can’t tell… I want the detective- hand him over. GIVE ME THAT MAN- The art is rushed and mostly uncoloured cause me tired and the full art of both characters is shaky cause I drew it on my phone compared to my tablet, maybe I’ll do more.

Anyway pledge to the kickstarter, I want to traumatise Abe- PLEASE.

Click here to go to the kickstarter!

(To whoever on the Melty Clown Studio’s team was responsible for the design of Abe… you are evil and I thank you for your service)

More art under the cut

Bayou: this painting is a. Self-portrait of Joyce Veair she was our firat prime minister

Cirrina: wow... she's gorgeous she painted this herself

Bayou: Yes... She has so many paintings around the world. She even has one in Museum d'Alfonsino

Cirrina: really...... She's very talented.

Bayou: not only that, she was very intelligent and very outspoken....

Cirrina: what's this one

Bayou: this is a sculpture made entirely out of urchin spines it was made by tosh monui. Every month he'd shed his old spines. He would collect them and Stick them in a ball of wax until the ball was completely covered in spineies. After he'd take the rest to make a body, he would call them mace men because they look like maces with a body. He soon started to model them after cave drawings of primitive urchin

Cirrina: that's amazing....oh what's this one. This one is beautiful

Bayou: this one is called 'home'

Cirrina: it's a beautiful landscape....who is by?....... This piece was painted by One of the top students in krillarney School of arts and it's one of the youngest to be presented in This museum she has won several awards and has several nominations.

Bayou: I see myself as everything and nothing, masculine and feminine and anything in-between. I really don't mind Cirrina

Cirrina: All right if you put it that way hehehe

Mrs Cuddles: here you go! Fresh cod and a large bag of hush puppies for the road!

Cirrina: thanks how much do I owe you?
