They waved goodbye to Lily and James as Sirius drove them down the driveway. He’d loved spending so much time with his best friends, but Remus was looking forward to having some time where it was just him and Sirius. It wasn’t far to their newly renovated house, but the minutes seemed to slip by faster than Remus wanted. He kept touching his coat pocket to make sure the blue velvet box was still safely inside it. 

He’d been back to the flat before the renovations had started to clear out his things. Most of it had gone into storage, but the little box and necklace had come with him. Thankfully, both had been in his underwear drawer when he’d opened it. 

Remus had been going to propose as soon as they’d got back to Lily and James’s, but he hadn’t because he wanted to wait until after the trial, and then it never felt like the right time. 

Sirius pulled up outside the house. It looked exactly the same yet completely different. The main change was obviously the wall that had replaced the front of the kebab shop and the lack of gaudy lights. Remus smiled. They were home. 

They got out of the car, doors slamming loudly in the quiet street. Remus looked at Sirius, smiling up at the building, and he decided this was it. This was the moment he wanted to ask before they got upstairs and they both got distracted. 

“They did an amazing job, don’t you think?” Sirius asked, looking the front of the building up and down. When Remus didn’t answer, he looked for him, slowly turning around when he couldn’t see him until his eyes fell on Remus down on one knee and holding out the blue velvet box that held his mother's engagement ring. 

“Sirius Orion Black the third, will you marry me?” Sirius gasped and leapt at him, tumbling them both to the pavement. 

“Yes. Yes. Yes, I do, or is it I will? I don’t care! Yes, Remus, I will marry you!” Sirius’s lips found his, and then they were kissing. 

Remus picked Sirius up in his arms and unlocked the front door, entering the house where they could finally be alone.

I know "touch grass" is trite and usually said in a snarky way but sometimes you really do need to drag yourself kicking and screaming out of whatever spiral you're in and be part of nature. A walk in the park, lazing about on the beach, birdwatching, anything is good.

When I get like that, the thing that snaps me out of it is taking care of another living thing. Walk the dog even if it means cussing under my breath at how much I don't want to do it. The dog is so happy afterwards I feel amazed how something so simple makes such a big difference in his life. It's literally the highlight of his day!

Tending my garden, repotting plants, pulling weeds, digging dirt, and breaking up the clods in my hands, then mixing in fertilizer or compost. Even if I'm having the angriest, most hateful thoughts (I call this rage gardening) when I start, after a little while I realize I'm feeling absolutely nothing at all, and then, slowly, I start feeling happier, nurturing, connected to a thread of life that is completely outside of myself.

I think when we're at our lowest or wrapped up in our own heads, we need to reach out and grab hold of these threads and weave ourselves into them so that we feel connected to the pulse of the universe and rhythms of life.

Which is a long and pretentious way of saying I was tempted to spend my day off watching my shows, but forced myself to walk the dog and deal with an out of control potted plant situation on the patio instead and now I feel reborn.

a familiar, ready to get this show on the road and travel to its new home!

it has, in fact, already arrived at this point, but the travel vibe with the little suitcase is cute.

What do you think they're talking about?

Fun fact I started this piece in like December, and left it on the back burner in case I needed something to finish quickly and post and I'm SO glad I did that lol I've never EVER been as busy as I was in May. I have a work in progress screenshot down here though because I'm so proud of how far I've come with drawing the king's face!! Its really subtle changes that make a world of difference tbh.

Lately I’ve been thinking about dad Lando and the moment when Oscar tells about Lando and E,ma to his mum.

"the moment when oscar tell his mum" is probably like a month before aus '25 over text and he's like "hey can me and my bf stay with you the week before the race btw? we'll need the guest room too bc i think his daughter is going to sleep in mine."

poor nicole piastri must suffer exasperation at the hands of her son in every universe...

Thinking about meeting with my tutor after their class to talk about my performance, my direction in life and my aspirations and goals. Only taking it half seriously as i take everything, their genuine concern and guidance met with avoidance more than dismissal, but still frustrating for them. They tell me im a smart man, with a potential they would hate to see me waste because of apathy. I listen to placate them more than anything else. When they say that it would benefit me to plan for my future, to find my passion and dedicate myself to it, i scoff lightly, breaking eye contact and smiling a little as i brush off their earnest pleading with a teasing "yeah, whatever dad." When i look back after a beat, their face has changed. The stillness and silence in the room suddenly tight with tension as i realise they didn't brush that one off. They look me up and down with a casual sort of surveyance as i break eye contact again, swallowing thickly as i try and fail to keep my breathing steady. "Look at me." Their voice is smooth and even. My obedience is instant. They speak more concisely now, more deliberate. As they continue I'm hanging on their every word, as if under a spell, nodding gently in answer to any questions, otherwise still and rapt. We sit in silence for a few moments. "Sometimes," they begin, slow and calm, "a person will need more guidance than a classroom allows." My heart is beating so hard against my chest im sure they can hear it. "If you would let me, i want to give that to you." Im dizzy. I feel myself nodding quickly. "Speak up." Its a gentle correction, but i feel like i'm on fire. "Yes."

"Yes, Daddy." They correct.

"Y-yes. Yes, Daddy." We sit in the silence again, me firmly in their grip, waiting on their command.

you ever just see a super niche piece of d&d advice (idek if this is the right word for it) and feel an itch in your bones to make an entire zine that's effectively an essay talking about how much you dislike it and the ableist implications of it being enforced at tables but it's just for you because you don't share your thoughts with other human beings that'd be wild and you don't particularly feel like being told it's not actually ableist and you're just oversensitive and can't take a joke today. no just me never mind dw about it

Workday birthday this year, but still a nice day. Took my traditional birthday selfie—I think it’s fun to look back and see how I change from year to year—which turned into a “quick, before someone walks by my office door and sees me being a dumbass” scenario. 😆

I need to know if anyone else understands the feeling of wanting to spend the rest of your life with someone in ways that Sound very romantic but you aren't into them like that. Fantasizing about living with them. Cooking dinner together every night and watching movies, laying together in silence just because one of you is lonely and wanted comfort. If you have to leave the house before they wake up, you'll make yourself breakfast and leave a plate for them in the fridge. When one of you is sick, the other makes soup and brings them their medicine whenever they need it. Getting home late knowing there will be a warm meal waiting for you, and doing the same for them. But you're not attracted to them, and you know you never will be, but you still want that kind of life with them

I hate how hard it is to read tone over messages- my friend asked a question on our discord server and added /srs and /gen but I still can’t tell if he’s joking or not, because the question was about a major life decision change asked on a whim ended with this emoji 🥺 I don’t know what to think-

[shannonsketches]

your tien / krillin / yamcha musings are soooo on point i hate when people make fun of them (in a srs way) like you would literally not last 5 seconds with raditz please calm down! they are humans trying to keep up with aliens and creatures it is not a fair fight for them lol. okay i'm done *backs away*

Sorry this is something I love to harp on you activated my trap card because as MUCH as I love to drag Yamcha and the human crew playfully, they actually fucking rule and I love to yell about why aaAAAA It's not a fair fight, and like that's a huge part of what makes them so cool, IMO! Goku and Piccolo and the other non-humans in the cast know they have this sort of flexible ceiling for growth, and can at least do what they can against non-human threats. The human squad doesn't! They're bound by pretty rigid limitations -- even for guys like Roshi who's over a century old -- and they still show up and fight with everything they have for each other and the planet they love. Their collective dedication to helping Goku despite the odds is ultimately the thing that makes characters like Vegeta and Piccolo believe in the power of love too. They've seen it work!

Goku isn't the one who beat Vegeta; Krillin, Gohan, and Yajiorobe did. They saved Goku and the planet by refusing to yield to their fear of what Vegeta could do to them, and just kept fighting tooth and nail to keep him from killing Goku until he had no choice but to retreat -- for the first time in his life.

-- SPOILERS AHEAD for Yo! Son Goku OVA, DBS movies, and DBS manga --

In Yo! Son Goku and Friends Return, while Goku and Vegeta are focused on the baddie, the human Z-fighters are the ones protecting everyone else from the damage the battle is causing.

In Resurrection F, Toriyama reminds the class that these guys aren't just sitting on their hands waiting for Goku to save them -- Krillin, Roshi, Piccolo, Tien, and Gohan take down the entire Freeza force. The only one the others struggle with, Gohan takes down, and the five of them -- in equal measure with Gohan -- leave only Freeza standing.

And idk if it's to make up for how bad the anime bagged on Yamcha, or for the joke of Yamcha not showing up to Res F or being invited to the ToP, but Toriyama and Toyatarou put on their Yamcha Defense Squad hats for the manga, and he shows up to not only rescue Tien and Chiaoutzu, but also holds it the fuck down with the two of them against a massive invasion of the Galactic Patrol's most wanted list.

Toriyama was super vocal about how did not like Goku being portrayed as a super hero in the anime and earlier movies, and spent a huge portion of both DBZ and DBS' manga actively telling the audience that he's not the only person protecting Earth.

In Toriyama's version of the story, since beating Piccolo Goku has not won a "boss battle" alone (except arguably Freeza, which Trunks had to finish) and even in the fight against Piccolo, he survived because his friends were there to carry him off the battlefield and heal him. Even if his friends can just buy him time and play supporting roles, the core of the series is that Goku's success is almost never riding on his power alone. His second most iconic finishing move requires asking for help! His strength is built on the shoulders of his friends. He and Earth are alive because he has people he can count on to keep him and his planet alive (or at least wish them both back).

That's why it's important that he can't just beat the bad guy with a shiny new power up. Goku is usually the closing act, but it always takes support, it always requires community, it always requires banding together and lending their strength, and that is intentionally, repeatedly, the moral of the story!

Power Alone Ain't Shit If We Stick Together and Don't Give Up!! That's why DBS: Super Hero is so important beyond "Make Piccolo and Gohan relevant again" -- not only to have an entire story of "What if Goku and Vegeta aren't around to save everyone," (since Toei decided to absolutely kneecap the point and the humor of BotG being "What would Vegeta do if he can't default the role protagonist to Anyone Else") -- but also to have Goku have a match be PURELY reserved, no power-scaling, no fancy tricks, and LOSE, and be happy about it.

The point has never been how cool and sexy power is (in fact that's an on-screen statement of the philosophy Goku was raised on).

It's about the chance to learn and grow and live your best life because you put in the work and are passionate about what you do. It is the core thing that Goku and the human Z-Fighters have all, always, had in common.

The human Z-Fighters didn't just stop working and caring about martial arts and protecting Earth because Goku got strong. They all keep working and keep fighting and keep showing up, despite how strong Goku and the opponents he faces are. The human fighters are hands down the most badass people in the series.

Due to circumstances involving some VERY angry Wardens and an ongoing satyr hunt, Wicker has decided to lay low by taking on a new form.
