Your interpretation of Hector talking with Bauhauzzo post-game (if you can see that happening) would be neat!!

oh the horrors of knowing no one can fix the problem except for you

I have what you're looking for. High quality. Befitting a man of my tastes. I have a room over on Divisadero, not too far a walk.

Okay so with the line "the olive tree where we first met" we have two equal hilarious options.

When penelope was sassily like oh I'll marry you if you make a living bed out of this tree right here! Cue penelope stumbling over odysseus very very carefully digging up the tree "because how else is he going to get it to itacha we can't have a wedding bed out in the open in sparta duh"

Or

2. Penelope, knowing that Helen's suitors would soon be arriving to take over her home for a while. Snuck out and went on her own wacky shenanigan filled journey where she scoped out all the major players. Odysseus caught her spying in an olive tree. And when she got back she told Helen she had dibs on the cutie from itacha.

Quick question for the Touchstarved fandom!! As much as we love Ais calling us 'Sparrow,' I have to ask - if you had to decide, what other bird nickname do you think he would call you/your MC? :O

For example, Ais would my Unnamed MC Daniella 'bluebird,' while he'd call my Alchemist MC Edgar 'crow' (and another OC I'm planning, Shinju, 'woodpecker!')

on the topic of princely bakugou—

i love the idea of his hand in marriage being the peace offering between your kingdom and his clan, as in he comes to live with you and rule in your castle. and he genuinely wants to do a good job; he's not coming in and tearing down the walls or defiling shrines or anything like that, because that would be the easiest way to lose good graces with his new realm.

the thing that i love the most about this is him being so barbaric, raised in a completely different way from you, taught to value different things and rule a different way—and yet he's sitting with his council (half of which are appointed men that swear loyalty to the realm regardless of who rules, and the other half being men he specifically chose and trusts) dressed in his furs and boots, scars out for all to see, and he's carefully trying to read letters and documents and negotiations, like a civil man would.

and it's not that he's changing anything about himself; he is firmly, to the core, always going to be a wild little barbarian pup—but he's grown enough to know the difference between respect and surrender. to know that he will be nothing without the support of the people, and to lose that after fighting so hard for it would be foolish.

he's very different than you expected, than you were ever taught to expect; your shared bed is too soft for him and he tosses and turns all night and gets up before the sun rises; he cooks, and you've found him fiddling around in the kitchen on more than one occasion; he values your opinion on a multitude of matters, and speaks to you more about politics than your father ever did.

you were told that he'd ravage you in the dirt, dripping sweat and the blood of your people, but—he hasn't laid a hand on you, hardly speaks to you unless it's absolutely necessary. you can almost feel it, though, sitting in his throat when you're across from him at the dinner table, or when he sits at the edge of the bed and looks back at you over his shoulder.

everything he does is so careful, thought out, and you think he might be doing the same with you, too. not barging in or breaking down doors, but waiting, patiently, for you to open up your heart to him.

Never getting over Fulcrum being a project manager...

Idk why, but something about that is so funny to me. Not just because the title of "project manager" is inherently kinda funny for a Decepticon, but also because-

1. It's vague sounding and hard to explain irl because it technically exists in multiple fields, like healthcare or manufacturing, which surely translates into canon in some way.

2. In canon, it's simultaneously a really mundane, innocuous sounding job, yet it's also a super morally awful position to reside over depending on the context. (*cough* forced colonization and cyberforming *cough*)

And 3. It solidifies the fact that behind all the surface level militaristic work we get with both the Decepticons and Autobots, there's also Cons and Bots with "normal" jobs in both factions.

Like, sure yeah we get scientists and doctors, engineers and programmers, but usually in big important or warfront positions. (For plot reasons, understandably.) But it's also really funny and interesting to think of those that worked background positions, or minor jobs.

Like an Autobot working in their equivalent of an HR department, or a Decepticon who runs one of their outpost's or starship's kitchens.

Just all the pre-war jobs that didn't just disappear with the war, but instead evolved to exist within the factions.

It's particularly funny with the Decepticons though, because it could be a super mundane job or situation, but because it's them, it has to have an air of ~e v i l~ to it, either legitimately and/or merely for the vibes, like Tarn's "performance reviews".

If I ever hear that Skypeia is an irrelevant arc in One Piece ever again after chapter 1138 I will start biting people

[sandsorghum]

Randomly nursing thoughts about throuple dynamics between Nanami and Higuruma, how they'd navigate jealousy - Higuruma relying on his wits and Logic to do what he's always done, intimidate and browbeat his opponent into his side, when it comes to demanding more time with you - Doesn't actually care about reaching an agreement as much as he craves your acquiescence - but Nanami isn't having any of that - you're sweet and accommodating and generous and going to be the death of him, maybe of them both.

Higuruma seems convinced he can persuade you, easily at that - but Nanami knows it's not his rhetoric nor loquacious arguments, not because of his mind games but the breadth of your heart and the expanse of your insight, knowing Hiromi's not used to Love yet, his Love, the overwhelming intensity of it compounding his fear of loss; that most ancient of contradictory Truths and Higuruma well, he's always had such a combative relationship to Truth, has always had to scrap and chisel and fight for it, knows no other way to embrace it except by pinning it to the ground by the throat, and it's much the same with these feelings, it's molecular and it's in his marrow, clinging to his lungs so every waking hour spent apart from you feels like suffocation...

And Nanami would chastise him, except he's known for years exactly what that feels like, the length of that experience both burden and privilege in understanding now how precious what he has with you is, but it isn't as fragile as Higuruma thinks ("Or as he hopes?" Nanami wonders occasionally). Higuruma who, with all that background and expertise as an attorney, should be well acquainted with the multi-dimensionalities of Truth, and how often opposing plausibilities don't negate the other's existence, only adds nuance to the whole of the matter - doesn't he see it, that this is the fundamental condition of Love? To cherish presence meant accepting the risk of absence, the celebration of spring is an inherent invitation of winter too. Or maybe Nanami has faced too many existential threats on the daily as a sorceror to have the patience to coax this epiphany from Higuruma. Though you were the first to teach Nanami this too, long ago.

And the lessons...still hurt sometimes.

Emotional truths at their core usually contain some contradiction, semblances that should strengthen not weaken them when accepted; but Higuruma doesn't yet know how to navigate them, despite how adeptly he does this with facts, pulling them apart at their seams to cross-stitch larger realities (or perhaps, Nanami ponders wryly, because he is so adroit at that). Higuruma, caught in the jaws of juxtaposition, in Love's devouring ouroboros of ache and amelioration; so tunneling towards these differing truths, there is no coexistence, only corrosion.

Kento, he just needs time, you tell him. Time we gave each other, is what you don't say. He understands implicitly, there's no way to force Higuruma to realise this, or reckon with it. But Nanami wonders if you have the patience, if he does, to see you red-eyed at the front door every other week, or granite-faced every other mission with that asshole.

You're an angel, and Nanami has your ear. He could be the devil on your shoulder - he's only human after all.

Sure, fine - maybe Higuruma deserves salvation, but he can find it on a solo path. Higuruma's a wrecking ball, you're hurting yourself standing by his side. And you're hurting what you already have, with him. But it wounds Nanami too, to weaponise your own empathy and love for him against another man.

He could ask you why you keep trying, though he suspects it'd only crystallise your convictions and resolve. Or give you a taste of your own medicine, be cruel to be kind and call out your broken wing syndrome - myopic about his own hypocrisy in being an earlier beneficiary of it.

And maybe that's where his diagnosis errs. When you tell him with a watery smile he's healed you too, that the stinging showed where the wounds could be cauterised, and that if you have wings now, that thing with feathers

which perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all...

you owe it to him, you owe it to each other.

All of you do.

Fuck it. Silly post time

My doodles from my class notes this + last week. I have been struggling to draw my guys on model lately so you can see some of the Struggles. go ahead, look at em. i am so human but watch me go. Anyways, these are in order from oldest to most recent (the ones I did in class today.) Trying to figure out how i want to draw them again, because it seems I can never quite do it the same way twice. Mildly frustrating, but it does leave space for silly posts like this. I hope someone else finds as much amusement in offended tynamo as I do.

AUs include spirit keeper (I've forgotten how to draw??? his hair??? which is like his most identifying feature???? don't know where THAT muscle memory went but it is GONE) and also Steady Tracks Ingo (who I have Never figured out how to draw in the first place tbh). Also pictured: an intentionally rare little ingo appearance. Also noticed I've been drawing more canon-compliant doodles than I normally do, so that's neat! Top right image (the third one) is my INSANELY botched attempt at drawing the One Move twins. Literally turbo fucked that one. look at ingo's face. Unrecognizable. Will I stop using an ink pen? when I die maybe

Anyways. God be damned I am Having Fun. Wanted to offer you my doodles in the hopes they make someone else smile too today. Oh the train is just a train, I just figured you guys would like that one. Even though I'm struggling to keep my pen steady or my lines consistent, I am still very happy with several things here. The smoke on the train, and the two middle Emmets on the very last image in particular I really love

silly post complete. have a great timezone
