adrien's whole thing being that he feels unloved and unwanted and like everyone is just waiting for an excuse to write him out of their lives, meanwhile the people in his life love him So So So So Much but are just all so terrible at expressing that love. adrien thinking he doesn't matter to anyone yet in fact he matters to people so much that there is a grand conspiracy afoot crafted for the sole reason that he is so loved. i am losing my mind
#ml spoilers#ml london spoilers#ml london special#not really??? this is from the s5 finale i just. idk man. playing it safe lol#buggachatter

'Some days it seems so long ago, and some days…'
I'm deeply fond of Thomas Nightingale and also he frequently makes me very sad, so I wanted to draw something about that. Also, I figured if anyone would suit Leyendecker illustration vibes, which I'm really into right now, he would.
(Drawn in alcohol markers and coloured fineliners, and image described in alt text.)
Edit: I have a few A5 prints of this image available in my online shop! Check out my blog page or pinned post for a link to my Storenvy.
#thomas nightingale#rivers of london#ben aaronovitch#moon over soho#mine: fanart#this man turns out different every time i draw him but i do like this version#i'll have to see if i can keep him consistent from now on#also i found grey fineliners and they're my new favourite thing#also also i should draw flowers more that was fun#i don't usually go in for flower symbolism#but nightingale and poppies was a concept that really stuck in my brain

Shaw cashed out all his Whitsun cash on a Mesmeric Parasol so I felt obligated to draw him having a chill time for once! A bit of light spycraft, as a treat.
#zeeposting#august shaw#my art#fallen london#fallen london oc#he’s chilling (for once)#also sneaky cameo from the dilmun club badge#Shaw wouldn’t admit it but he does like his new parasol a Lot it sparks much joy#hopefully now this man will leave my brain for a bit so I can draw other characters…. maybe

And I saw another beast come up out of the earth...and he spake as a dragon. (Revelation 13:11)
.
The Coronation of His Majesty King Bastian I - The Hour of Wolves
When he was born he was a small thing. A screaming infant, a second son, destined perhaps for military greatness, but never dukedom. Never inheritance. Never conquest.
But at the inception of the light, the birth of the world, the moment between silence and splendor when The Glory breathed across the scope of creation: he was no small thing then.
Even then, he was coming.
His rise runs with blood: knives in the back, poison, betrayal, kidnapping and vengeance.
His rise burns with greatness: glory, family, rescue, love and ferocity.
The secret world recognized him before he knew himself. A fairy witch marked his passing and offered her slender wrist for his talons. A dead sun opens its mouth for him, a vanished Christ is his counterpart, a death knight worships before him, a raven-haired little girl holds the hand of her doting and beloved father.
The world we know calls him king of France, the monarch of a seized throne, a general who has promised the great lords England on its knees.
The Devil, in his own tongue, may call him son. The Glory has said nothing.
Would you know him if you saw him? Would you recognize what he is?
Bow, while you consider, and kiss his ring. There is a crown of flame upon his brow.
#MY SHITTY LITTLE GUY IS KING OF FRANCE BABY#local worst man you have ever met receives ancient crown of charlemagne in a coup with the help of his previously-despised elder brother#god help every last person who stands in his way#he made sure the warring princes locked in civil war were Dealt With (one dead one ~conveniently misplaced~) and stood in paris#before every lord in france with the burgundian army behind him and basically dared them to tell him no#he's a big money no whammies guy so he's promised them england's total surrender within fifteen years#or he'll abdicate#he's here for a legendary time AND a long time#if he can pull this off#(lisbet has received a boon and vision from the sunflower king and invented cannon several decades early so)#(london may be in the hands of the french sooner than we think)#(but then as many would-be conquerors find - you then have the horrors of northern england to deal with)#godspeed you lunatic#I have literally never been more pleased and proud of a fictional creation of mine in my life#he's come so far and also aria and I have made something really incredible#stay tuned friends#he's only going to get worse#heretic

while I agree that virgo Oli is probably the backline man for practical details, if you think him and Louis aren't getting high and laughing themselves silly coming up with ideas you're letting the "PA" label go to your head, that man is NOT the adult in this relationship they are dumbass4dumbass and egging each other on all day every day I will bet on it
#love that they packed a whole tv and dragged it all they way out there from london only to somehow break it and have to start over#man talk about an image rehab Oli as responsible level headed straight man has to be the revamp of all time

good job scoundrel! you've successfully ruined yourself!! again!!!
at this point, it's one of their best talents.
#this bat's spite knows no bounds#...now to come up with an rp reason for their opinion to turn around and actually fix the place up a bit#the city deck is in SHAMBLES rn#yin-thoughts#fallen london#also i accidentally skipped by a piece of text about the grey man and wolf and im quietly devastated. but i digress.#now they need to talk to their city-self for......... a reason i dont even know!! but boy do they!!!!#from what i can gather on the wiki + the option i accidentally clicked on#the scoundrel has called dibs on the wealth found here* and they're really pissed the bazaar is trying to call dibs too#*yes they called dibs on the wealth. yes they're also actively destroying the wealth out of envy and spite.#the scoundrel has a lot of complicated feelings#especially towards their own discordant clone

ÞÆS OFEREODE ÞISSES SWA MÆG
(that was overcome. so too may this.) from Deor, old english poem, c. 9th century.
new riso design! John Barleycorn is a folkloric figure considered the embodiment of the wheat harvest, and the subject of the English and Scottish folk song that describes the cyclical nature of his birth, death, and processing into bread and ale each year. this one was about the comfort in the constancy of things. the world could end. but the wheat field rises anew. the year turns around again.
#i know it looks like 'pisses' i KNOW! but it is not that.#i adjusted the translation slightly for clarity without context#i'm working my socks off to get work done for MCM London at the end of this month despite also travelling. some things were not Timed Well#sat in airbnbs and youth hostels and on trains tryna get work done man im struggling lol 50 thousand unanswered messages IM SORRY!!!#the actual words in the image are from john tams though because that song slaps i love you snow falls/the year turns around again#english folklore#british folklore#john barleycorn#lottieart

jayroy is so monica and chandler coded omg
Jason and Monica are lowkey both neat and control freaks (obviously more Monica) and both feel under appreciated by their parents. They both discover who they are and learn to love and accept themselves of course with the help of their silly sarcastic boyfriend who just happens to be their older brother’s best friend. Roy and Chandler, 1, have had past addiction issues (chandler and his smoking, not matthew perry, rip) but both choosing to right their addictions. 2, Both use to be in a band *teehee* and 3, both want love but find it hard and have bad luck.
plus you’d get the iconic scene:
Dick: MY BEST FRIEND AND MY BROTHER?!?
Roy: Look we aren’t just messing around, I love him
Jason: I love him too
(super sappy looks between the two)
Dick: my best friend and my brother!!!!
AND ALSO THE “I am not high maintenance” SCENE IS ABSOLUTELY JAYROY and little parts of my heart smile
#batman#jason todd#batkids#man i love batman#dick greyson#batfam#roy harper#jayroy#friends#that one scene from friends inspired this#monica geller#chandler bing#weird combination but it works so well in my head#plus jayroy would so get together by accident in london#dick is also highkey ross just less insane#dick is still pretty insane tho

Hyde must have drank his milk as a kid, because how the fuck is he not breaking bones while jumping from roof to roof like a madman?
#like I get that he is technically younger than Henry#and by that I mean hes technically a toddler if we count when he became conscious as his birthday#but still#he's got the mind and body of a grown man#not a mature one but still#I'm younger than him by a long shot and if I tried that my back would have snapped like a kitkat#he's either more graceful than someone that used to be a ballerina#or he's literally the spirit of london at night#and I mean that in the “mf aint alive” kinda way#edward hyde#the glass scientists#henry jekyll#he just gets up from crouching down on roofs and his knees do that cracking sound#i need to see someone write/draw that#hahahhehe

huge props to marinette for spinning up that lie so fast and on the spot, too. I thought I was good but damn. of course she must have had a general idea of what she was going to say to adrien beforehand going off of gabriel's "make me look good" and her own love telling her that the truth would hurt adrien even more, but that's just a very vague idea. she could not have possibly spun up that entire story of a lie in her head beforehand with all that was going on - dealing with all the truths coming in one after the other, the crying, the emotional trauma, getting the kwamis back -
and of course, there's adrien. he is one of the highest things on her list of priorities, his safety being the first thing she needs to take care of. the problem is, she doesn't know how. the only thing she can do in that situation is lie. a small lie. just one to make it better for now and then she can make it a long-term lie later. make sure no one else finds out.
and once she started telling the lie, once the first words were out of the mouth, it was all improvisation. her next words showed up in her head as she was going, spinning up a believable story, just good enough to be taken as the truth. she rambled - a rookie mistake for liars - but you couldn't blame her. she's a professional liar, almost, with her superhero identity, but this one is different. just one hour after learning the truth she had to cover up all this with no warning beforehand.
she couldn't tell adrien the truth. but she couldn't do much to comfort him either. ladybug couldn't tell him something only marinette knows.
she had to lie. she had to come up with something on the spot. those words would haunt her for the rest of her life - that lie was all she could think about for the next couple of months because she had to make it work. she had to keep the truth and make everything work out. it wasn't a big deal. she just had to tell adrien something, anything that would comfort him! what would comfort him about his father? what would convince him that he was a good guy this whole time? that he was a, a, a hero! yes, she would tell him that. it was a white lie! she wasn't a bad person! she just had to tell adrien that his father was a hero so that he would never have to know the truth and suffer like she did. he was a hero.
was.
once that word came out of her mouth, there was no going back.
#ok coming from someone who is VERY good at lying (and no that's not a lie) I am VERY IMPRESSED by that.#it's not even an exaggeration by the writers. in fact I think this is perfect.#ive had to lie several times before. make sure there were no plot holes in the story I was trying to spin to get out of trouble. to be safe#to save a life.#this is very realistic of her.#when she's under pressure she talks. she lies. some of her smartest moments are made up of lies. it might seem like a good idea at the time#she might not know what's coming out of her mouth as she's saying it.#but regardless she needs to deal with it later. once the adrenaline has finally died down and she faces the consequences of her actions.#once the emotion has died down. once the truth of what she's said sinks in.#I lie on the spot if I have to. my stories stay active for just long enough that eventually it becomes a fact of life and I have to remembe#each detail of the lie so that it doesn't fall apart.#it can't fall apart. the world will end if it falls apart.#(the world is a web of lies that I have spun.)#oh MAN the marinette thoughts today. should I write a fic. yea im writing a fic.#marinette dupain cheng#miraculous ladybug#ml spoilers#ml london special#wait I just realised all these paragraphs I typed up what the heck what am I doing with my time#gotta love lying to people tho.#actually no thats a lie I hate it.#ugh life is so confusing can I pls just project myself onto marinette instead of having to deal with stuff#yk out of all the characters I didn't realise SHE would be one of the ones I resonate with the most. but thats a fact and I love it.
