I don’t know if I’m alone in this but Jinx telling Caitlyn “I didn’t know your mom was there. It probably wouldn’t have made a difference, but. I didn’t know” does not read as an apology to me. or I suppose more accurately, apology does not feel like quite the right word for it. it’s many things, there’s a whole lot of complexity and nuance and context and subtext to it, but it’s not an apology. it is an unexpected moment of genuine connection between Jinx and Caitlyn. it’s Jinx recognising an echo, acknowledging the pain of losing a parent, the pain that she knows well, that she taught to Caitlyn. it’s Jinx contemplating the cyclical nature of violence. it’s Jinx wanting the record straight, that her mothers killing wasn’t personal, wasn’t part of the dance of paranoia and pain she and Cait and Vi were treading. it’s also incredibly blunt, even though Jinx’s state of desolation softens it. she acknowledges to Caitlyn that it wouldn’t have made a difference; she would always have fired that missile, for Silco, for his mission, his vengeance. Jinx has no love for the upper city. she has no love for the ruling body of Piltover. but she didn’t kill Cassandra Kiramman bc she was Caitlyn’s mother. she didn’t even know. I don’t think this necessarily means she feels guilty about killing Councillors; there’s little evidence of that. but she does feel something about Caitlyn having lost her mother. and I think Jinx is holding those two, somewhat opposed, things at once. I think it’s interesting that Jinx desires to get this across to Caitlyn at all. there’s a lot going on in this line, but it’s not really an apology. it’s more like recognition. it’s more like honesty. it’s more like sympathy. it’s all and none of these things. all the descriptors and boxes I can come up with feel too small to hold it, and honestly, I love that in a scene

I woke up and was haunted by visions aka Mlp redesign/rewrite ideas yayyyy :3

One thing I think about a lot is that when Nargothrond falls, it is heavily implied that as good as everyone perished or, if not, got captured. Like, unlike with the Fall of Doriath, there is no mention at all of any refugees removing to the Mouth of Sirion - and yet, I assume that is very likely where Celebrimbor, at least, went? I definitely think he would have fought, but clearly he survived and neither Doriath nor Gondolin really were an option for him, and I doubt even more that he would have gone back to his family.

And there are a lot of implications to all that, but maybe the one that keeps me up most is that this means he would have likely been there when the refugees of Doriath arrived, when they told of what his family did. That his father is dead. What would he have been thinking? What would the survivors of Doriath been thinking? Like, I know there were technically several different camps to some extent, but I doubt they would have been wholly separate, especially upon arrival. What kind of horror to find someone who looks just like one of those guys who just slaughtered your friends and family. What kind of horror to look like someone who just committed such horrors.

He also would have been there when the third kinslaying occurred, or at least very close to it. What an experience, to end up on the other side of it. To see exactly what might have become of him had he not foresworn his father years ago, and also to see yet again what became of his family. Like yeah, everything before/during the Nargothrond Disaster would have already been formative for him and his future choices, but I do feel even being in the vicinity of all of that would have been such a dire reinforcement of all those convictions and reasons that made him disavow them in the first place. And especially in terms of the third kinslaying, it's also why I personally really doubt that there is a chance at any kind of reconciliation with any of the brothers, whether it's his father or I don't know, Maedhros or Maglor. Like, I just don't think there is any coming back fromt hat, really, if there ever was.

based off of this

Today is frigid and windy, she feels it unforgivingly on her cheeks. Clouds part around her, clinging to her jagged features. They are wet and stifling, a brushing reminder of what she cannot have. It is the only thing claimed from the earth she can touch.

She passes above skylines and craggy mountains and watches. The earth is still cold and unyielding and she yearns for it in a reckless way. A silly wish to feel all that it has to offer in her mouth. She wants to touch, to feel the grainy sands between her fingers and find sand in horrible unbefitting places. The encapsulating experience of teetering the fine line of tasting the sun and burning herself. She wants to be down there.  

She’s heard many names weaved in between her. There are many she’s been called but one that has truly stuck with her, Ava. 

A soft sound pressed between lips, a gentle thing for a large entity like her. She likes to believe that’s who she was before this, a force too big to contain that she had to become this. A mangled thing of roots and chunks of dirt. 

It’s better this way, someone tells her in a foggy haze, she’s fighting them, a sloppy sluggish battle of desperation. Ava doesn’t know why but the memory lingers like a prolonged goodbye. A sort of awkward suspension holding her rooted to the spot like there’s more to it, a truth sitting in plain sight.

Thinking about how likely it is that BTAS Ivy grew old n spent all of that time fully believing that Harley died. That despite all her efforts and desperation to save her and get her away from Joker she didn't, she couldn't, and she lost her. That Harley died the same day that wretched man did and it became just yet another thing linking her to him for eternity.

thinking about how BTAS Ivy loved her So much and never got the chance to grow old with her, to see her heal and recover, to heal and recover with her

thinking about how much they deserved their happy ending but never got one. how we're seeing & getting their Less Platonic moments in the newer BTAS comics with the impending knowledge that the narrative has already decided it's a fate they'll never truly get to indulge in and savor, that it will always be destined to end in tragedy.

how for some universes a happy ending is given, growing old together is just the future we know is already there awaiting them... but not for them, not for btas harlivy... not the originals, for their story will always be a tragedy.

[Ruth is talking to Brooke at her locker, then the bell rings, and Ruth runs over to join Richie and Pete on the way to class, blushing]

RICHIE: Ruth, is that a ~spark~ I detect between you and Brooke?

RUTH: maybe 😏 I get all warm and fuzzy when I talk to her...!

PETE: uh, that might just be the fires

[all three turn around to see Brooke setting her own locker ablaze]

Uhh I'm a little sorry if anyone followed me here for not-Monster shipping drawing. I'm in a bit of a mental battle of sticking to my principles of 'draw whatever, post whatever' but trying to be a little considerate since my subjects are shifting.

Because I'm going to be super honest that I do want to draw more suggestive work but don't really want to split off and make another side blog. I won't ever post explicit nsfw here because this site is allergic to it but it might be implicated or toeing the line in future drawings. I guess this is just me putting this out there as a soft warning so it doesn't come as a surprise to anyone if I do start posting more! (Although at this point it really shouldn't be a surprise with how it's been going lol)

Also big thank you to those that are not Monster fans but are still here through it all (‘-‘*ゞ

They really did make the one character who we all think is a performative, two-faced, liar ...

A Gemini.

"I wonder where Doheny Park is supposed to be. This chick's GPS shows Lambourne Place, let's see where- Holy fucking shit."

I firmly stand by my assumption that either the LAFD have TARDIS-tech, or the space/time continuum is just fucked in this city, because there's no way they get from the Crestview/West Hollywood area (Buck says they were crossing Robertson) all the way to fucking Lambourne Place and not get there to a bunch of smoldering coprses.

I'm really at a point where I just wanna chuck a brick at the mere suggestion of realism in writing stories. Like, I really need to unsubscribe from some reading and writing subreddits or something bc I'm getting irrationally annoyed whenever I see ppl wanting smut to be written like a dry-ass(heh) sex ed pamphlet.
