what

[queenlucythevaliant]

have you ever heard it? can you remember?

i. The gulls were crying. The gulls were always crying, in her memory. Whatever far off places Susan travelled after her family was gone, she always came back to the sea.

ii. The beach at Cair Paravel was the first place in Narnia where she really felt at home. She'd wade into the water with her eyes shut and feel she could be in England, on holiday with her mother and father. She'd open her eyes, and there would be waves cascading endlessly towards her.

iii. Before long, she knew every tidepool, every shoal.

iv. There weren't any bathing suits in Narnia, but no one seemed the least scandalized when Susan took to swimming in her underthings. There wasn't anything else for it, and she had to swim. She just had to.

v. She wasn't the only one of her siblings to love the sea, of course. Edmund loved sand and sailing and reading on the beach, and Peter liked to gaze out at the ocean and think. Lucy spent even more time at the beach than Susan did; she would rise before dawn and sit on the rocks as the sun rose over the waves. Susan was never sure whether her little sister was there to greet the sunrise, or to wait for Aslan.

vi. But for Susan, it was sense-memory. Water was water, wherever she was, and it always reminded her of home. She'd go out past the breakers, pull her limbs into a familiar breast stroke, and she'd feel like she was everywhere she loved all at once.

vii. Aslan came, and she was soaking wet to greet him. He laughed, in his lion-ish way, and didn't mind at all when Susan embraced him.

viii. Somehow, Aslan never got drenched from his journeys across the sea, but he was damp as though with mist. The scent of salt and brine clung to him, an overtone to that fierce, wild smell that was his own. Susan breathed in deep, those two scents she loved most in the world.

ix. In England, back at school, she'd go to the swimming pool and imagine she was in Narnia.

x. It wasn't the same, of course. The swimming pool at her school had no crying gulls, no smell of salt, no cascading waves. There was no Aslan coming towards her from the T-line at the other end of the pool. But if she submerged herself completely, Susan could imagine.

xi. She swam with her eyes shut too often, and her coach was growing irritated. It was affecting her times in practice, which would bleed over into competition if she wasn't careful. Somehow, Susan couldn't be bothered to care.

xii. One weekend, she and Lucy snuck away to visit the boys, and they all went down to the lake to reminisce about Narnia. When Lucy and Edmund spoke of their summer sailing the eastern sea, Susan was positively stiff with jealousy. Yet when they all dove into the water in the end, her heart pounded out a rhythm of home, home.

xiii. Six years after her last trip to Narnia, Susan hadn't touched a bow in four years. She still went swimming every week.

xiv. After the railway accident, she went to live by the sea. She missed her family, and she couldn't stand to live in the places they had lived. She wanted to forget.

xv. Susan had missed the salt air. She had missed the waves. There was a feeling of home by the sea that she couldn't quite place; a soothing echo of long ago dreams and fairytales.

xvi. But there were the gulls crying, "Can you remember?" and it broke her heart all over again.

Okay listen. When I decided to give squid Jean (squean) bite marks/scars last year I was just making it make sense that he lived with a pod of orcas who thought it was super fun to scare him and threaten him, I didn’t know tsc would come out and make that detail somehow 100x worse

Someone get this kid to Whalemack and Abby stat :( thank you Renee

Annie Cresta

There's not that much info about Annie, and not from Annie herself ... Which made her lots of fun to draw, just to figure her out.

On the left she's in her wedding dress which she got from Katniss. We know that it's green and has a very specific embroidery that makes it uniquely one of Cinna's works.... And wow, did I give it my all with the embroidery. (Never again!) It now has a very vintage flair to it which I think would have appealed to Annie.

In the middle, it's what I imagine her to wear during her Victor's Crowning ... if she even made it that far. Maybe she would still be in shock for a while until she was breaking down during her interview with Caesar? That's how everyone would know about her mental state after the Games. I imagine she would be forced to wear something sexy and very distinct for District 4 so it's mostly blue. The cape is a reminiscent of waves and a sea shell.

The upper right would be her after being freed and bright to District 13. She was described as "lovely, but bedraggled".

The last one ... well, I had some white space left. 😜

From Honoria's perspective, Bertie proposes to her by taking her on a walk, telling her he has a FRIEND, not him okay but a FRIEND OF HIS who completely adores her but is kind of dumb and unworthy of her and shy about openly speaking of his feelings for her, but is a good guy in his own way really, and then ends by saying this:

 "Well, that’s the posish. You might just bear it in mind, what?”

That is very ridiculous and charming. I get why she was laughing but fond.

(And then he shoves her little brother into a river to pretend to save him, right after she says he might fall in and get hurt.)

Apparently original VW Beetles could float so almost swim lol

I wonder if this is where the G1 writers (?) got the idea of Bumblebee liking swimming/water from

presenting one of my favorite jae yeol panels:

it's just so... kdrama rich male lead of him to clear his head while doing some rich guy activity alone (plz night swimming at a private olympic pool that his rich family probably owns...) everything he does is so chef's kiss tbh, exquisite. vibes just be vibin

just putting the context:

in this panel jae yeol was swimming casually and then remembered that he saw crystal pick clothes at the department store, so jae yeol just went full olympic swimmer at the thought 🏊‍♂️

that's it that's the fucking brainrot

Hi, I just want to say that seeing people describe Eddie as scrawny just icks me out. Like, I don’t mind him being described as lanky, yknow? Because in reality he’s not small, he and Steve are the same height, and about the same build (if anything, Eddie’s vest is huge on Steve where it isnt on Eddie, and yeah he has a jacket under it but its a tight jacket) so seeing him described as scrawny just seems weird. Like, I won’t deny that I enjoy a good size difference, my favorite fake steddie dynamics are shorter but thicker Steve and taller but lankier Eddie, but making the nerdy one specifically scrawny or even twink-like when he so clearly isnt just feels weird to me.

I have nothing against people who disagree with this, but i don’t know it just seems kind of off. Plus, Eddie 1000% has strong arms, both because of canon evidence and because, as someone who has done work with sound in theater, that equipment is so fucking heavy, and Eddie is lugging amps and a drum set around EVERY WEEK for gigs, so he’s got strength there.
