not enough stories exist where maverick actually wanted bradley to fly when he was older. he could feel it in his bones, see it in the stars. he showed the kid around a toolbox and taught him to strip an internal combustion engine and scrubbed the oil off his hands before he went home to mom. taught him to drive stick (probably underage lets be real) because it’s important to feel the bite and the grip and how the revs drop when you shift up. more than once he found bradley sitting in the idle car with the engine on because the dull roar helps him think - mav understands that feeling better than anyone. and yeah carole’s not thrilled but she’ll come around because one day she’ll see what mav sees. right? right?

she doesn’t tell mav she doesn’t want bradley to fly until she’s sick. until the lucid days barely outweigh the confused. there isn’t time to fight back, to talk her round.

so maverick doing what he does and pulling rooster’s papers isn’t just tragic because he’s making a choice that hurts his boy. it’s tragic because he’s shattering his own hopes and dreams for rooster. he’s sold him on a lifelong feeling and a passion and a lie that he never meant to tell in the first place.

#i know mav says 'carole never wanted him to fly' in the movie but #memories are funny things #especially when we're grieving and justifying our own actions when we don't 100% agree with them #because thinking carole NEVER wanted bradley to fly eliminates the possibility she made mav promise in confusion or fear #and that this big bad terrible thing mav did was all for naught #because i dont think mav could live with that #and to be frank i don't believe carole 'goose would have flown without you' bradshaw would have ever been so dogmatically against it #she KNEW how much flying meant to goose and mav why wouldn't it mean that much to her kid?#what is canon if not a pithy thing to be bent to my will #pete maverick mitchell #bradley rooster bradshaw #sad mavdad hours #top gun maverick

Find this moment from that episode funny for some reason.

#from season 1 episode 13 btw #not 100% accurate but you get it right?#it's funny for me because Megatron is like: “nuh-huh; give me that I need- what the actual FUCK you mean you just take a screenshot??”#this the same level as talking screenshots on nft for making fun of nft-losers #idk why I compared these things; it's just the first thought that came to my mind #transformers prime #transformers #tfp #very sketchy because I drew them from memory #tfp megatron #megatron #tfp ratchet #ratchet #tfp bumblebee #bumblebee #shitpost #Steak Creature's arts woohoo

Not beating the allegations.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #jiang cheng #su she #lan qiren #(I oscillated between writing a funny or a serious final comic for season 2 so hard I did both. Enjoy the funny bonus!)#Woah hey! Two characters we have not seen in a long time!#Su She hasn't been seen in 100 comics! Unfortunately LWJ has a taste for his blood. He has only moments left to live.#I honestly thought LQR died (adaption memory blur) and I did *not* expect him to show up here.#That said it does act as a way more personal blow to LWJ's reputation for LQR to be there.#By staying on WWX's side he's not only throwing his reputation to the wind but also facing familial judgment.#It hits so much harder when the choice isn't an easy one to make.#Choosing to stand at someone's side when they *have* actually messed up - when they do have faults and flaws - that's love.#Love is hard work! Love is not low maintenance and good days every day.#Love is being able to say 'I am choosing to bear your weight when things are heavy.' Love is doing that reciprocally.#Which is 100% a real life lesson I am passing on #And also a plea for why it is so important we give credit to WWX's atrocities.#He *did* do some of that shit. He isn't fully innocent and it gives LWJ's choice so much more weight.

What do you mean the summer solstice has happened?!!? What is going on I need to know !!!!

#percy jackson #pjo tv show #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #percy jackson spoilers #pjo spoilers #like what #what #how is he meant to fail to save what is most important in the end if he has 4 pearls ????#does he lose one???#does he have to give it away ???#is there someone else that has to get out of the underworld???#i like how theyre throwing in these curve balls #really makes me insane #... be funny if this is another memory thing #and there was actually 4 pearls in the book and i just forgot

The tac net crash chapter is one of my favorites so far~

Ah and. Guess what. I just discovered that including this post, I made 50 pieces of fanart for Mistakes on mistakes until.. I’m so sane and normal about this story can you tell👍

#maccadam #transformers #fic fanart #momu fanart #jazz #prowl #jazzprowl #considering the speed and the amount of fanart #….yeah I can see why tumblr thought I was a bot lmao #also #I mostly read during night and then drawing from memory during day so uhhhhh the accuracy is questionable haha #mainly I feel like half of the time I don’t know how tf Jazz looks. The guy switching between his looks so often jdjfjfj #IM. SO GLAD THEY RESOLVED THEIR DRAMA EHEHBJGJ #The scene in medbay was so damn cute #oh my goddddd #the scene of the tac net crash #muah #loved it~#you know the thing is - I'm a biiiig fan of mutual feelings and actions #the scene of the kiss was absolutely great but it was a bit one sided #Jazz cared about Prowl but Prowl was far more concerned about information safety and strategy and stuff #but this?? mmmm~ Them caring for each other #Prowl using his last moments of consciousness to ask Jazz if he is mad at him #Prowl actually deeply caring of what Jazz thinks about him now when he knows Prowl killed his friends #i don't know how to explain #kisses are great but this (points) this is my favorite five star meal right here #also there is something so funny about Prowl slowly discovering fow fucked up Jazz is and just accepting it #but being so scared when Jazz discover how fucked up he is. Only for Jazz to be like “boo I knew about your fuckedupness from the start”

they tried to rebrand as The Criminals but riz is literally the city council's treasurer and also turns out people in their late 20s don't really name their friend groups. so now they're The Intrepid Heroes

#fantasy high #figueroth faeth #kristen applebees #adaine abernant #gorgug thistlespring #fabian seacaster #riz gukgak #yes this is sorta from the same thing Ive been doing for future!riz lol. that riz is the same design basically #just the above board sona #u can kiiinda tell which of the bad kids I have a very clear vision for their future design and which I kinda wing it for lol #kristen's tank top is white and the coat is galaxy tie dye btw. I didnt have the energy to express that in ink but thats the ult version #adaine I truly imagine to grow up to be the perpetual t shirt and jeans person but she carries her sword everywhere #gorgugs truth is that shes just hot she can wear anything. but I do give him the skirt hike bc I love him #I really like skirt hike... such a fun thing to put in designs. if ur garment has no variance in how it falls or drapes u can do it urself #this is also a little bit of an exercise in how much of an accessory I can freehand from memory #fig's bass I straight up did not fact check for. just rawdogging it memory only. same with fandrangor and adaine's crocs #I did write in my funny little document that gorgug takes up baking and is good at it bc I think itd be good for him #to do basically chemistry and math that also feeds people #out of them... kristen and riz would be Good good at it. but riz would get way too stressed abt the recipe and kristen bakes by #eyeballing the texture. fabian likes decorating but refuses to get anywhere near the heat of an oven. adaine isnt good at it first try #and is like well my effort goes to other things actually. fig Loves baking and Nobody lets her into the kitchen #idk why this manifests so clear in my head. must be bc of recent foccacia events #living in the subtropics is hell for baking nobody try it ok? I tell u

Thinking about ambrosia not working for Jason Grace in Blood of Olympus because he hasn’t figured out where he belongs and who he wants to be yet. Thinking about him figuring it out, and, before anything else he decides to be, him stating that his home is wherever Piper and Leo are.

Thinking about him taking ambrosia after the Gaia fight, not sure if it will even work. Thinking maybe it’ll be a mix of his favorite foods from CHB and Camp Jupiter, or maybe that it’ll switch.

Thinking about Jason, utterly devastated about what happened to Leo, taking ambrosia for the first time in ages, and it does work, but instead of tasting like any of the foods from either camp it tastes like the tacos Leo made for them on that first mission in the sewer.

#valgrace #jason grace #leo valdez #leo x jason #this did come to me specifically in the context of a valgrace fic however it could be platonically devastating too #Alternatively if it’s in a universe where BoO ends differently it could just be very funny #Leo never lets him hear the end of it because that’s such a sap thing to have as a favorite memory #(He’s melting inside but shhhh)#The lost hero #hoo #heroes of olympus #Gonna try actually posting this since tumblr was weirdly nice about putting my sideblog post in the tags yesterday

Yeah, I'm working on those WIPs, can't you see this elaborate daydream scene as we stare off blankly into the distance and watch the thoughts currently rolling through my brain like a film reel?

#writing #writeblr #writer things #writing humour #writing humor #funny #relatable #staring off into the distance as flashback begins to play and people can suddenly see my memories #love when they lampshade that trope or are like what are you looking at

#mdzs #jiang cheng #lan wangji #wei wuxian #jin ling #ig in this universe jiang cheng already knows about lan sizhui. which is also a headcanon i see a lot in fic #god that's so funny tho. jc recognizes wen yuan and just decides not to say shit. king honestly #ig also in this universe jiang cheng kept all of wwx's shit for absolutely not sentimental reasons. no reason in particular actually myob #which is also a headcanon i see a lot in fic. wwx comes back to lotus pier and jc just has his room perfectly preserved #i like that headcanon. jc keeps all the things his dead loved ones leave him and he guards them as preciously as he guards his own memories #his father's sect. his mother's whip. his brother's flute. his sister's son #augh the tags got serious #anyways apparently lwj is 188cm and jc is 185cm. fucking tall bastards ugh #that 3cm difference probably has jc seething #yanyan polls

i like him

#somebody needs to keep me 8 metres away at all times or else ill start chewing on him #i just want everyone to know if i end up making a character who happens to resemble harvey in any shape or form #it probably wasnt a coincidence 😐and it will happen again #if i remember maybe ill try getting stardew when it goes on sale.. my friend showed me her farm and she named her chicken after doja cat #or maybe it was nikki minaj i cant remember. and she also said smth about monsters and passing out if you stay out after a certain hour #idk how accurate tht is all i know is the funny fucked up grandpas bed #i read somewhere that harveys supposed to be in his early to mid thirties and i dont have a problem with it but i think itd be very funny #if hes actually younger than he looks hes just a med school postgrad lmao. idk how well that headcanon would hold up since ive #never played the game and idk how often ppl talk about his age or if itsjust an implied thing. i just think its really really funny #im trying to get into the habit of drawing poses so im using reference images to try and build up muscle memory #i found some cute pictures of two ppl playing by the sea shore and it reminded me of xin and sailor so im gonna draw em like that #i havent drawn em in so long..... maybe i should update xins reference since i changed their lore quite a bit #myart #my art #doodles #stardew valley #stardew #sdv #sdv harvey #kinda wanna see him whimper a little bit. as a treat

*ignores the frag grenade i just threw at everyone* anyway,

can you believe this is the first time ive managed to draw a fullbody loop whos standing up.

i can finally express my headcanon-- not that loop has body horror inbuilt perma-heels-- but that they've just got perpetual barbie foot. they just got too used to wearing their little bootsies. a real "hey dude do you like, want shoes or something?" type stance. i dont even think its a concious choice i think if you pointed it out they'd get embarrased.

#yes this is framed as a joke but this is 1. my actual default mode of picturing them and 2. it is kinda horrific if you think about it #nice muscle memory for shit that doesnt exist anymore IDIOT hows your LOSS shaping you LOL #i think a lot about emotional intelligence champion Isa noticing the ways loops body language closes off on itself #(based on their hugging-self sprite and the way sif hides in their clothes) and them putting 2 and 2 together that like...#they clearly aren't comfortable being naked even if they are weird and inhuman. and just DESPERATELY gripping the olive branch #of 'hey we can go clothes shopping its nbd haha' to try and bridge the gap with the guy whos been being a weird bitch #and so even if the barbiefoot thing is stupid it furthers that mode of deduction to me. and also it's fucking funny.#isat spoilers #for the implications in my tags #isat loop #lucabytetalks #doodlebyte #anywayyyy its fun 4 me just 2 frag a noob plus my peanits got an attitude etc etc.

him

I need more Fanart of him (btw I just wanted to draw cursed dally lol)

Also he slays as a girl lol

#wakfu dally #Percedal of Sadlygrove #Dally wakfu #wakfu #wakfu fanart #ankama #Iop #wakfu iop #I swear if his powers are gone for good #Idk if I’ll be happy or not #And it’d be weird if his child suddenly was the new god #Cause then like.. they’d have the same memories #Also I’ve always wanted Goultards curse to be permanently taken away #But would if it was like a pass it on thing #Haha funny #ANOTHER THING #Im also incredible angry how quickly Dally grew old in the time circle #It was ridiculously fast and I choose to ignore it #The boi will never die.. or he would have two times ago #I did appreciate and approve of his fear though #He truly loves and fears for all his children and family #He had a bigger character development then Sokka (TLA)#Bro I can’t #I’m not simping him #I simply love his relationships and personality #It’s a rare connection with a character (for me)

doing chibi is a good design exercise bc it forces u to think on shapes n essential details, essentially thumbnailing ur designs. its also a terrible design exercise bc it ends up looking cute no matter what

#dimension 20 #fantasy high #riz gukgak #very specifically class swap bard!riz #fh class quangle #mm. I may need tags for all the asides Ive been doing lmao #riz's canon design is so coherent and thematically clean that I genuinely struggle to keep up...#bard!riz's whole thing is working out his identity through abject fear so it kiiiinda makes sense that hes got a different thing going #on every year I guess? like lmao the directive I go into each of these designs with changes vastly #freshman bard!riz has to look extremely nonthreatening. and also make you wanna pick him up and chuck him at a wall #annoyingly inoffensive. slides off your memory pretty much immediately. a void of an experience #crucially Does Not Show Teeth While Smiling #sophomore year bard!riz I have been keeping the like. cameraman direction for #I want him to be swimming in clothes a little bit... he kinda lands at like. 80s/90s shlocky horror protag too which I do like #bc what is season 2 to riz if not a horror story lmao #junior year bard!riz I want to be somewhere between clark kent and tintin #the journalist aesthetics is not so clear and easy to build as the detective or spy aesthetics...#but also I just. really like boy journalist lmao this is the BD blood speaking again #and! I actually do draw his hair differently than in my canon junior year riz stuff. its a bit shorter here so it doesn't #obscure as much of his face #its so funny actually going from drawing canon stuff to class swap esp. with riz bc he's smiling SO much here #and it's 100% trained like its crucial for u guys to know he is equally if not more fucked up as a bard #barely anybody can wrangle him in canon it's already been mostly him keeping himself on track. imagine if he actually learned how to act #mmm. I think these designs are still gonna soft change as I draw them. thats fine we have fun #drawing sophomore year bard!riz for those comiclets was fun as hell. I think on this factor alone I call it a success lol
