woe be upon ye
#ouch#im thinking spared nari is gonna be devastated that he let his sons i mean disciples lay down their lives for him#though that was their job#but he was the one to give them that job oh regret#man nari hates the lamb so much after that (also himself#but its easier to hate the lamb) like they took his crown they took his sons they took his freedom they took everything#yet they still liberated him from his chains#is this what he waited a millennium for?#good thing we can resurrect them phew major crisis averted#narinder#aym#baal#the lamb#narilamb#lmao this does not deserve the ship tag but im just gonna tag every art piece where they feature together as narilamb#since thats the end goal#cult of the lamb#cw blood#my art

actually I also wanna talk about the part where Percy convinces Bob to kill Hyperion because even though Percy never says anything outright sinister, the way he handles the entire situation with such cool ease, playing on Bob’s emotions... its so insane???
Because Annabeth’s reaction to the three of them encountering Hyperion reforming is: “oh this is bad we need to get out of here” She knows if Bob remembers himself, that it's not going to play out well for Percy and her. She also thinks about how they're being pursued and don't have a lot of time. Her solution to the problem, seemingly, is to leave.
But Percy's solution is to work the situation to his advantage. He re-affirms Bob's loyalty to him:
Percy then re-establishes Bob's moral code: "Some monsters are good. Some are bad. This Titan is bad. He tried to kill me and a lot of people. He's not good like you are."
And it ends with Percy leaving the choice of whatever to do with Hyperion to Bob but of course, is it really what Bob chose to do? Bob decides to kill Hyperion. It's not what he may have done, if Percy hadn't intervened. But it's exactly what Percy was oh-so-sweetly leading Bob to do.
And listen, I'm not claiming that it was exactly morally bankrupt of Percy to take advantage of a once-evil titan who could get him and his girlfriend through hell in one piece. Percy, Annabeth, they manipulate monsters and enemies all the time. Annabeth ended the previous book with manipulating Arachne into weaving her own web. So it's not exactly like she's against using manipulative tactics, in theory.
But Bob, at this point, is not just some monster. He is so painfully sincere in his belief in Percy and their friendship, so yes, it does feel a bit sinister whenever Percy uses Bob... and he really uses Bob.
And I think what makes the scene so unsettling, it isn't just that Percy manipulated Bob, its how well Percy manipulated him. He manipulates Bob so well that Percy doesn't even have to kill Hyperion... because Bob does it for him. He manipulates Bob so well, that Annabeth couldn't tell if Percy was purposefully trying to manipulate the situation. (Newsflash, he most definitely was). Like holy shit.
#percy: friends kill for friends <3#ITS CHILLING#Riordan allowed Percy to be unhinged for ONE book in hoo and then got to boo and went#/um actually writing the realistic outcome of Percy's turmoil in Tartarus sounds like a lot of work so how bout I dont :)/#okay wait while I love this scene in hoh the one part I dont like was Annabeth being like: I had no clue Percy could be so cunning#and like girl YES YOU DO#you were there in BOOK 1 when Percy convinced Crusty to lay down in his OWN bed and then decapitated him#I choose to believe she was simply afraid unsettled and in denial lmaoooo#pjo#percy jackson#annabeth chase#mine

odysseus has two modes, bawling and brawling
he initially tried bawling to poseidon during get in the water, but that didn't work, so in six hundred strike he switched to brawling.
#poseidon got whiplash from the change in odysseus' emotions so quickly#poseidon: 30 seconds ago this guy was asking for a truce#poseidon: now i'm laying against some rocks beat by this mortal#poseidon: what the idiot doesn't realise is he's now stuck with me in my stor- wait is that my triden-#poseidon: *gets stabbed* *repeatedly*#poseidon epic#odysseus epic#epic the musical#epic the vengeance saga

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will
#svsss#scum villian self saving system#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#the fact that people think scum villain#-a series that examines and criticizes common tropes in fiction-#is somehow against criticism or being a little hater is wild to me#especially since shen qingqiu never gets punished for being a hater#heck- he's still a little hater by the end of the series#he mostly gets punished for treating life like a play and like he and the people around him are characters#(or in other words- he suffers for denying his own wants and emotions and his own sense of empathy)#I think some of y'all underestimate how much writing/art is inspired by creaters being little haters#like example off the top of my head-#the author of Iron Widow has been pretty vocal about the book being inspired by their hatred of Darling in the Franxx#I think my interpretation of Shen Yuan's transmigration is also supported by the fact that this series is an examines writing processes#side note- though i understand why people say Shen Yuan is lazy and think its a valid take it still doesnt sit right with me#i am probably biased because my own experiences with chronic pain and depression and isolation#but ya- i dont think Shen Yuan is lazy so much as he is deeply lonely and feels purposeless after denying parts of himself for 20ish years#like yall remember the online fandom boom from covid right?#being stuck completely alone in bed while feeling like shit for 20 days straight does shit to your brain#the fact that no one came to check on him + he wasn't exactly upset about leaving anyone behind supports the isolation interpretation too#+in the skinner demon arc he describes his life of being a faker/inability to stop being a faker now that he's Shen Qingqiu#as “so bland he's tempted to throw salt on himself” and “all he could do is lay around and wait for death” (<-paraphrasing)#bro wants to be doing stuff but is stuck in paralysis from repeatedly following scrips made by other people#another point on “Shen Yuan isn’t lazy” is just the sheer amount of studying that man does#also he did graduate college- how lazy can he really be#he doesnt know what hes doing but he at least tries to actively train his students#and he actually works on improving his own cultivation + spends quite a bit of time preping the mushroom body thing#+he's experiencing bouts of debilitating chronic pain throughout all this#but ya tldr: Shen Yuan's transmigration is an encouragement to write and not a punishment and also i dont think its fair to call him lazy

i found you in the future
#robin#HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE.................#a TINY bit late but pls forgive me#egghead spoilers#isn't it so romantic that she learned about ohara's survival on the island of the future .............#one piece#some added commentary: the little white bits can be seen as bubbles of air escaping the books#to symbolize that the lives poured into them continue to breathe on#and also the ashes of ohara thrown into the sea#so the water around robin holds death life knowledge and flowers#(callback in a way to the 'scattered in the sea are the world's grief / the world's secrets' line from my last robi drawinf)#ah and also her tears! which contain those multitudes as well#good things lay in wait 4 ohara :#'-)))

My 19th century sea chest search has finally concluded, my holy grail of antiques obtained!
My mum found this in New Bedford. It has everything I could’ve wanted. Beautiful original beckets and extremely sweet carvings. Historical Butt Print on the lid and the inevitable warping from having been used as a seat for a while. Intact till inside. Really lovely patina. And a subtle repair that tells me that this was also loved by another generation.
It can’t come live with me til April but oooo I can’t wait to get to know him. Can’t wait to welcome this fellow.
#I’m already getting…vibes and theories from it I can’t wait to lay my hands on it#the energy it has seems…incredibly warm and sweet though

Prompt 251
Danny is tired and annoyed. On one hand, his parents took the whole ‘so I might be slightly dead’ pretty well! Which is good! On the other, they decided to send him and his sisters to their uncle while they take care of the Guys in White and refurbish the house to be, well, him safe. Which meant a ridiculously long flight all the way to New Jersey.
A flight he was pretty sure happened to be illegal what with the fact that neither of them were asked for their IDs or anything despite having them with them. Hm. Y’know he’s not going to question it, he’s getting a nap the moment they get to Uncle Harvey’s.
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#Harvey & Maddie are half-siblings#Two-Face grumbles but honestly also loves his nephew & nieces (wait he thought they only had one niece-)#Look it’s not the first time Jack & Maddie have broken laws and they’re not gonna let GIW hurt their kids#Danny is going to get an autograph from Poison Ivy for Sam#Jazz is going to get an interview from Harley if it’s the last thing they do#Harvey to Two-Face: We can’t get arrested with the kids plz don’t mess with the bats#Give Two-Face a name challenge#Ellie loves her uncles Harvey & Archie#Danny to Jazz: So we’re not going to talk about how our uncle is pretty much a mafia boss right#Jazz: I don’t think you realize what I witnessed before you were born Danny#Jazz: I’m gonna lay low so I can be a brain surgeon & if we can use this to our advantage we will

There's something about Tim that has always slightly unnerved Bruce.
That's not to say he doesn't truly love him, the little Robin who dragged him kicking and screaming from the edge, who reminds him everyday he has to be better.
Yet something in his eyes always makes him hesitate.
Watching him solve cases connect dots that even Bruce at his most able couldn't hope to understand.
Watching him fight it's calculated every move planned but executed with a grace that would make ballerinas jealous.
He couldn't identify it the greatest detective stumped by his own son until one day when he walked down to the cave.
His eldest sparing with Tim it was beautiful moves that he could never replicate they worked as if they were one. Escrima quickly blocked by a bow staff, every single move perfectly executed.
It felt like for once he could see clearly the thing that had made him so uncomfortable brought forth a fear that was so instinctual.
It was Dick.
The same moves, the quiet grace the deadly motions, even the anger.
A perfect copy a clone couldn't even hope to achieve.
He stays so still almost frozen afraid to catch the predators attention.
As Tim ends it heading to the showers his eyes drift meeting Dick's.
A smile that before he would call kind he can't help but see almost a sadistic undertone like a animal playing with it's food.
He breaks first, hair standing on end as he heads back up into the manor.
He should do something, but he can't whatever monsters that are his sons he decides to turn a blind eye.
To let the tigers play he knows he is beaten that if he were to try anything his blood would stain his eldest's chin.
But a darker deeper part of Bruce recognizes the same look he ignores in the mirror.
The look that both Jason and Damian try so hard to replicate.
He has never consciously favored his children but as he erases contingencies and allows full access to a network he had never shared with anyone before he can't help but feel a tide changing.
Sitting the next morning at the table secrets smiles shared between him and his sons. Jealously crossing theirs brothers eyes he wants to cackle, scream but it's time he returns the loyalty that they have bled.
After all what's some secrets between Kings and crowned princes.
#tim drake#bruce wayne#dick grayson#batfamily#to put it simply both Bruce Dick and Tim are not good people they're angry vindictive they are tigers laying in wait for their prey#Jason and Damian are not a part of the secret circle they never will be. There's a difference between good little boys and princes#Jason and Damian wish they were nearly as horrible as their siblings#Good dad Bruce in this case at least#Who doesn't love some good brotherly bonding between Dick Grayson and Timothy Drake let the boys take over the world and let their dad help#dark batfamily#jason todd#damian wayne#batfam#don't worry Damien and Jason are safe at least for now#bamf tim drake#bamf dick grayson

Jour de brume
#crawling along#in the first picture they are waiting for hay#and pampe lay down to make me feel guilty. i was barely 15min late#when i walked past to go get the hay in the barn she even stretched out her neck to lay her head on the ground#so she was shaped like a chicken drumstick but in her mind she looked nobly sorrowful#''i've been waiting for hours... my poor legs.. can no longer carry me... weak with hunger i await my end#i will suffer a death without glory... poldine go and save yourself. life is no desire of mine anym-oh here's breakfast''

reader who was married for a decade or two. it was a milquetoast relationship of convenience and safety. the most exciting—passionate—thing that happened between you two was the divorce, truthfully. perhaps you should be more mad about him cheating on you, but you can hardly bring yourself to feel anything; since when did you decide that you were going to go through life on autopilot?
you move into an apartment by yourself and live alone for what feels like the first time in forever. it’s okay, even though your life still feels empty. it isn’t until you meet your next door neighbor, a younger man, that things start to get interesting. you’d be lying if you said you don’t fix yourself up before taking the trash out, or wear your favorite “casual” outfit to the mailbox. maybe this little crush is pathetic. but it makes you feel alive for the first time in… you can’t even remember how long.
why, then, does it scare you when your neighbor—with his wide smile and sparkling eyes—shows interest in you? when he stops by after a sweaty workout, half naked, asking for a glass of water (his sink faucet is “broken”)? when he invites you over to his place to watch a movie that he has no interest in? or admits when he’s a little tipsy that he has a thing for more experienced partners?
maybe you’re in over your head. but there’s really only one way to find out…
#he shows you what passion really is; you never knew something as simple as a heated look could be so thrilling—#and he has yet to even lay a hand on you (just you wait… he’s going to blow your mind and your back out)#sorry i’ve been thinking of this for hours while driving LOL#i’m thinking of yuuji and yuuta and takuma and ace and naruto sooooo hard but. anyone.
