lucanis truly has a near terminal case of burned out golden child syndrome. caterina fucked both of these kids over so incredibly bad with the dynamic she enforced there, with illario being labled the perpetual fuckup kid where lucanis 'could do no (would never be allowed to do) wrong'. the way he admits in the first coffee date scene that the only thing that happened when he showed he could carry the weight of expectation was that more weight was added makes me so sad. you can hear it in caterina's voice in his intro mission that she's incredibly proud of him, but this is clearly a leandra and hawke situation where that pride never translates into relief or resolution or unconditional warmth or understanding or anything that really helps.
#you messed up an excellent little autistic dude caterina look at him he has no personal life and his only friend is his scar-ass cousin!!#because that's what you told him he has to be and he believed you!!!#all that and you wouldn't even let him have a wyvern dagger just for fun and b/c it makes him SO happy? when i get you caterina dellamorte#I'm finding the crow family drama so compelling in this game I'm just hanging around treviso Observing haha#I wish they'd given illario a bit more nuance in this (as I feel he does have in the wigmaker job)#b/c with the sheer pantomime susness he's got going on they really don't want you to engage with him deeply haha#also teia mvp as always but I think that goes without saying (and happily all these lads around her seem to know it)#both lucanis and viago like 'thank you teia you're the best 🥺' and she's like 'yeah I know'#protective big sis of the remaining crow family haha. and she's got to be barely thirty years old at this point. I'm love her so much#'*annoyed voice* MAKER HELP US' she's saying what we're all thinking#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#lucanis dellamorte#I think my rook is having some uncomfortable moments of realizing some parallels here with their own relationship to the watchers haha#like 'buddy you're so much more than just a tool for your family to use. I however have a sacred duty I was banished from#the fulfilment of which determines my entire worth and that I am low-key mourning behind the levity b/c that's what I was made for. ...wait#I feel like rye was more the illario & lucanis combo only child tho. wants so much to be good but keeps getting into Shenanigans#chaotic underachiever with frankly upsetting potential when they actually get their act together and they WANT to so bad#but also. shenanigans keep happening. releasing blighted gods is only barely the wildest of them

(mafuyu and then miri and kazuki) they just want a normal life man.#hell loid is blonde and apperantly he's lost his parents young too#never actually watched spy x family but I think after years of not relating to anyone shin would be so happy to meet anya#he'd only speak to her in his mind#my little meow meow i love shin asakura#forger family takes care of miri real#ik i should've drawn hana but in terms of natsushin mafuyu is their miri/anya

you know, the placement of both hugs buck and tommy shared are kinda…wild. because in both of them…buck is facing eddie.
like we don’t exactly see eddie watching them or anything, and yeah he might be tipsy in the second one, but i think it’s a lil telling for them to have buck’s expression turned towards eddie in these hugs.
the first, when he sees the contentment on buck’s face when he and tommy tip their heads together in a hug that lingers a beat too long to be platonic much like some of the hugs buck and eddie have shared but i digress
the second, when he sees the clear disappointment on buck’s face at tommy leaving, and the intimate way tommy holds his neck and the way buck’s palm rubs against tommy’s back before he calls out for him to be safe.
and maybe we didn’t get to see exactly what eddie’s looking at/thinking about but i think there’s a little bit of a tie-in with the way the camera specifically pans to the proud, sparkling look eddie gives buck after he and tommy show up with march in soot-stained faces in that eddie’s genuinely happy for him - his eyes literally follow buck around the room. he sees how invested buck is in tommy, and it feels different to other partners and idk. it’s just a choice to have eddie as the main witness of buck and tommy is all i’m getting at here
#zee rambles#and maybe there’s some angst too#in that buck’s slipping away from eddie for the first time since maybe the graveyard scene#and maybe now he has a little more inkling about why that is#but it’s still not something he truly can focus on#because buck is HAPPY and eddie is very much a suffer in silence person#especially when it comes to his family#idk it’s all just sooooo#i know it was the madney episode okay but this has been spinning in my head like a rotisserie chicken for hours#eddie diaz#evan buckley#buddie#911 spoilers#bucktommy#kinkley#911 abc#911 meta

buck should have been there when chris and eddie reunited with carla after lockdown, he would have been just as excited to see her. nervously fluffing the cushions alongside eddie, her favourite meal cooking away nicely while they waited, zipping through the house making sure everything was perfect. he would have hugged her just as tightly as she stepped through the door, a year is a long time without a carla hug and he feels it just as much as eddie and chris.
but most importantly, he could have witnessed the tension slowly release from chris the longer that carla stayed. the relief settling in knowing that carla had come back, that she didn't leave, just like buck had promised him.
#i need all the softness and happiness for my boys#their little family unit is everything to me!!!!#ana not realising how important this was for chris and eddie always makes me so sad#evan buckley#eddie diaz#christopher diaz#buddie#911#911 abc

I wanna go into how Miri sees Kazuki and Rei differenty based on how they are presented to her. I haven’t seen anyone talk about this so I wanted to share my take since I grew up with a blended home (I grew up with my birth mom and my stepdad).
So at the start, Miri thinks Kazuki is her bio dad. Of course, he isn’t, but that is how he presented him to her when they met. So she always called him Papa and saw him as her “real” dad.
And then there’s Rei. He doesn’t allow Miri to call him Papa at first, still not letting himself be in at position. This would technically make Rei the stepdad, since he’s the definition of one. Being the partner of her “bio” dad.
Sure, that’s obvious, right? Yeah, you probably noticed that too and didn’t think of anything of it. Of course, for me I noticed how Rei’s emotional distance wasn’t only due to his trauma but also how it fits his role as the stepdad.
I know in media stepparents are protrayed as evil or like the same as a bio parent. And yes, they are the same as a “real” parent, but there is a line you can’t cross. Because at the end of the day, they aren’t your child. Sure you’re their parnet, but your partner was their parent first. You need to respect that boundary by letting that parent sit ground rules and displinary actions and so on.
This isn’t a bad thing at all, actually it’s healthy. Even if you’re not doing what you think a parent should do to their child or treat them; you’re still their parent. You can still care for them and be in the parental role all the same. The kid will still see you the same as a bio parent if you still fill that parnetal role they need.
With Rei this is clear with how he acts towards Miri. At first he doesn’t want to be a father to Miri, not letting her call him Papa. Yeah, part of it is due to him not wanting to develop an emotional attachment since he was taught to not grow those. However, he also knows Kazuki is more into the Papa title. He was the one who claimed the girl as his daughter after all, which makes him the “bio” father.
Although, since Rei is in the role of stepdad, he doesn’t know how he’s supposed to act with Miri. He knows he needs to act a certain way with her, but due to his upbringing and inability to let himself be a father; he chooses to be more distant.
Of course, over time he lets himself be in that father role. He grows closer to her because she was the one who tried to break his shell. Once he saw Miri did see him as a Papa, he allowed himself to be more emotionally available for her.
Even with Rei’s upbringing, he’s letting himself break the cycle of showing his daugther he cares. Even if he’s still stoic at times, he’s allowing himself to show his emotions and smile around her, and Kazuki.
When Rei lets her use the Papa title with him, that’s when his character takes a turn. When he’s Papa Rei, he can be the father figure Miri needs, one that Kazuki can’t fill. He is the stability that the two needs when it comes to things getting overboard and such. I mean, he calls out Kazuki for when he’s being too overzealous over something related to their daughter. He was completely unable to read someone emotionally like that until Miri.
It’s great how Rei can heal because he wants to be a good father to Miri. And yeah, this is true for Kazuki too, but his situation is very different and I might go into later idk.
It’s rare to see media, especially stuff from Japan tackle this stuff. Divorces and remarriages aren’t seen highly in Japan. Of course, in this situaition that’s now how the public sees them; they see a gay couple with an adopted child.
Maybe later in the series it might be explained Kazuiki is the “bio” dad, and Rei is just his partner. We won’t know for certain until later, but I feel like it could go this way. I don’t know if it was intentional or I’m looking too deep into it, but I feel like the subtext is there. This show has been going very realistic and different routes that what you except from an anime, or shows in general honestly. I’m still amazed on how realisitic they protray the relationships with a blended family like this, it’s really beautiful to me.
Maybe I am projecting a little, and maybe I’m subtly sharing upbringing a bit too much. But, I saw my relationship with my stepdad in these two. Kinda relatable too bc my stepdad did not have a good dad either, ofc i won’t go into it.
#buddy daddies#rei suwa#suwa rei#miri unasaka#kazuki kurusu#kurusu kazuki#rei x kazuki#kazurei#reikazu#don't mind me i'm just crying a little bc this show really makes me happy and reminds me of when i was a kid with my blended family#i just kinda wanna make my stepdad watch this show bc he'd really like it i think

A Starry-Eyed boy, who now lives amongst the stars...
First Pet Commission done: Jack, aka Starswift Unfinished Business.
This boy was a very special dog, and it was a very special privilege to get to draw him. An inspiring story, he was diagnosed with a liver shunt around a month old, and given a low prognosis for continued existence. But with a special diet and a lot of determination, that tiny puppy grew and grew and beat the odds multiple times, eventually becoming 90 lbs of lovely, happy, sweet puppy. An absolute joy to everyone who knew him, he had an instagram account and many followers rooting for his success. He was a fighter and even his registered name reflected this: Unfinished Business, because he was too young to go just yet. So full of life and vibrancy, he had one crucial message to give to the world: no matter how disabled you are, no matter your lot in life, never give up and live every day to its fullest. Jack unfortunately passed away in October, just a few months shy of two years old. He fought until the end, but his owners knew it was better to see him off, than to let him suffer. I'll spare the sad details here, but it was a hard blow on everyone who knew him. It's up to us to carry on his unfinished business, and to make the world a kinder, happier, and perhaps even a little bit of a bouncier place, than when we entered it. @starswift-borzoi
#borzoi#dog#sighthound#jack jack#starswift borzoi#art#my art#illustration#my illustration#pet commission#for the astute they will notice that jack has the same kennel name as Echo#she is Starswift Vision Quest#Jack was her uncle#different mom and dad#but same family line#he was so special#and holds a fond place in my heart#run free high in the sky now little buddy#be happy forever and rest easy

Some off the cuff 1k of Skirk & Tartaglia (skirtaru???) hcs before 4.2 proves me wildly wrong, they are very much a dynamic in process to be changed as we see more of them and as I think and consider them more, but I wanna see them interact so BAD.
Anyway. Tartaglia is an idiot who develops a crush, or at least something like a crush, on anyone who can give him a good fight. Obviously there are plenty of people who can just kick his ass- he's ranked at the bottom of the Harbingers. But they all suck, and there's no passion when they fight! They don't appreciate it the way Tartaglia does! So it's not a good fight and those assholes don't count!
So I think little Tartaglia was doomed the second he saw a very very pretty lady with a very very sharp sword and she immediately beat the shit out of him. Like she awakened something in him right then and there, unfortunately for the rest of the world haha
And then! Not only could she beat him one handed! But she took the time to teach him! And this! This was exactly what Tartaglia had wanted when he ran away from home with nothing but some food and his sword! He'd wanted an adventure! He'd wanted something new and different and wild!
And he can have that now, with Skirk and the Abyss! So his crush could have instantly dissolved right there, but it didn't, because Skirk was weird and interesting and Tartaglia adored that.
((Wheezing imagining Tartaglia trying to show off because he wants to impress his shifu, and she genuinely is impressed because Tartaglia progressed so fast, but then she pops his teenage boy ego with a pin and he deflates sjzjnskdkz))
He develops such an endless amount of respect and admiration for her. He's so happy and so proud of himself when he masters the Foul Legacy, because this was a goal laid by his shifu and hell yeah, he blew it out of the water!! And I'd like to think this was when Skirk said those words in his profile-
"You shall ever be the eye of the storm,"
"And the clashing of steel shall ever accompany you."
"The pitch-black memory of stepping into uttermost darkness,"
"Shall, at last, become the strength by which you will overturn this world."
-with Tartaglia knelt before her and her sword at his cheek, as though she were knighting him. And Tartaglia realizes then that oh. He likes it here. He likes being in the Abyss. He likes being with Skirk. He likes hunting and killing and surviving here in the Abyss with Skirk. Morepesok is and will always be home, but it was stagnant there. Too much of the same. No room for growth.
But the Abyss is boundless possibility to explore in every direction, and Skirk has never flinched away from him even once. Tartaglia can be as violent and bloodthirsty as he wants; Skirk is worse. She gives zero shits. She loves to fight and hunt and kill and make things bleed. Tartaglia is free to explore and revel in all of his worst inclinations and instincts and that is what the Abyss and Skirk become to him. Freedom.
And then he falls out of the Abyss just as suddenly as he had fallen into it. He didn't even get to say goodbye.
And it's not all bad or anything. Tartaglia isn't miserable. He's plenty capable of making his own happiness. He brings his own joy everywhere he goes (derogatory, unfortunate for everyone else ndkdjdjkd) and he genuinely likes being around other people. He would have missed a lot of things if he'd been permanently trapped.
But now there is an itch that he can't scratch. And it's driving him nuts. And he misses Skirk. She was fun to be around. He liked her.
He finds himself seeing things in everyday life and wishing he could show her. He pulls out ingredients in the kitchen for dinner and wants her to eat his special dish and show off how good he can cook. He reads through reports about the Abyss and he never finds what he's looking for (a swordswoman, an entrance, anything-), but he wants to ask her her opinions about them. He sees a really nice sword and wonders if she would like it. Little things.
Tartaglia decides he's going to find her. Even if it's just for a chance to thank her. Even if it takes years, decades. He just wants to see her again.
And then, it finally happens! They really do get to reunite! I have no idea what will happen in the archon quest of course, but like. I really like the idea that after things settle down, Skirk decides to stay for a while. She doesn't really want to live here or anything, but she's curious. She wants to see what Teyvat is like. She especially wants to see Snezhnaya, like Tartaglia used to talk about. And Tartaglia decides to go with her, he's an experienced traveler, a man of the world after all! He'll take her wherever she'd like to go.
And I'd love for them to say goodbye to The Traveler and Paimon and depart from Fontaine on a classic will-they-won't-they sort of vibe, where it's obvious that Tartaglia has Some Feelings about Skirk, but it's not clear how Skirk really feels about him yet. But it's the kind of thing where it's hopeful, and you want to root for the guy to get his love interest haha.
(The Traveler and Paimon bump into them a few months later and Paimon chides Tartaglia because Childe have you seriously not confessed yet the hell have you been doing all this time, which he responds to with hey, Skirk is a classy lady, give me time to do it right! and meanwhile The Traveler can see around Tartaglia to where Skirk is sitting at their campfire, manspreading on a fallen log, eating raw meat with blood on her face and dripping down her arms BNSKXJSMKDMD)
#genshin impact childe#genshin childe#genshin impact skirk#genshin impact tartaglia#skirtaru#I think I saw some post somewhere on here or twitter that said something rude about how people are going to ship them once Skirk releases#buddy I've been sailing this little ship single-handedly for a while now bold of you to assume I need to wait for canon dkxjdkkfkd#what the fuck do I even call this#i like skirtaru because tbh i never even call Tartaglia by his actual name he's always Taru to me haha#just had to get this all out of me before 4.2 drops and kills all my hcs instantly tomorrow nzksndkd#Skirk and Taru are one of those pairs that like. i think I could love them no matter what.#Romance? LOVE IT. Qpr? WONDERFUL. Found family? HELL YEAH.#tbh I don't have a lot of high hopes that we'll see them interact a ton in canon...#but I at least hope they get a good reunion that isn't just glossed over#they deserve it. taru has been searching for her for years. he's earned it.#I think as long as they care about each other I'll be happy ♡#I'm so excited to see what Hoyo will do with them!!#genshin impact#tartaglia#skirk

Some obligatory hiatus doodles
#amontag#vincenttag#soniasanderstag#vincent's waterproofing in action! He got a haircut recently but his mohawk is as stubborn as his personality.#Also a very rare moment of introspection from vince here. he's sorting things out. just a PSA here though I doubt I will ever make him date#Way too many things going on with him to consider a relationship of all things. He can have friends and family though :3#Amon has a few other forms. I was considering doing this sooner but now I'm extra happy with the idea#Why does he only have three? why only apex predators? that's some lore I'll divulge at a different time#He uses his croccy form most- including when he's humanoid because it's most convenient. No shedding and lots more defense#he can tank bullets and quickly get down to business too. not to mention his croc-form dulled his emotions when it came to his old work#even when he looks 'human' he is always in one of those three forms. He also dislikes getting fur in his clothing.#Adra has a similar influence from these powers but doesn't have any shifting. More like little characteristics#Vincent usually covers Amon's lack of speed and evasiveness while Amon covers Vincent's lack of defense and (comparative) strength.#They bounce off of each other's vibes way too well sometimes but can get the job done in a chaotic but efficient way. Sera buddies them up#She sometimes carries missions with Amon because of his previous experience and range of powers for certain missions.#vincent doesn't like taking orders from Ser specifically but has surprisingly learned the concept of restraint and polity from amon.#art#artwork#digital art#my art#my artwork#MY OCs#original character#OC#my OC#OC art#Illustration#digital illustration#ark_systema

Godspell (1973) didn’t make me religious but it sure as hell did make me want to join an acting troupe.
#just rewatched the film and it holds such a special place in my heart#theyre friends! theyre family!#theyre happy and having fun (until theyre not)#i did cry at the scene where he wipes their facepaint off#and right after by your side too#religious or not jesus is their (my) buddy#this is what i had hoped as a little kid that college would be like#it was not#i think doing theater (voluntarily) together for no audience but yourselves is such a great form of love#audience posting#godspell

“you’re a good friend,” my brother says once, in goodbye.
i tell him again, “i love you,” and i can hear the static in my voice. he doesn’t hear me at all—probably expects i’ve already hung up the phone—he’s singing so loudly. “enjoy your movie,” i say a bit louder. he shouts, “okay,” and i press the red button.
over a hundred miles away, in a hollow apartment, the quiet of loneliness is rustled by a mouseclick when i close a results page.
#not sure what to say of this except i love my little brother to fucking death#he is so sweet and lovely and he just melts my heart#one of my best fucking friends truly#he called for a quick emotional support pep talk because my family’s kittens are going to their forever home#he quickly spiraled mentioned he couldn’t remember the title of a movie and rambled out bits and baubles#i blinked and was opening google before i’d properly realized i had no idea what movie he was talking about and would Need to google#i am on the other side of the state spelling g as in grandma n as in nerd#i want to sob because i am. all the way over here and he is. all the way over there. and i can still be there for him????#i am loved??????#i have love to give?????#i am my little brother’s emotional support buddy and he is one of the most important people to me and i’m just really Feelingsed about it rn#i’ve just been in a really fuckin tough place recently and this seven minute phone call filled me with so much hope and happy#shut up im holding the trashtalking breadstick

I'm really tired of the "woman sad about her arranged marriage" trope, especially if that woman is royalty.
I am sure that many women across time were sad about their arranged marriages, but I'm sure a lot of others were excited, ambivalent, or resigned. Again, especially if you were royalty! I am sure if you were born a princess, you were trained from birth that your whole purpose in life was to marry someone important to solidify the power of the person on the throne. And honestly, it's an important job, if it wasn't, they wouldn't have tried so hard to do it.
That woman isn't just marrying another king or prince, she's going to be an ambassador of her country. She's supposed to be there promoting good relations. She isn't just a woman being sold off, she has a job! Also, if she is marrying the reigning monarch (or the heir), she may well end up running the country if the king is off at war or he dies when the heir is really young. That happened a lot throughout history! (or maybe she marries the third son and helps him find his way to the throne. Good for her)
It just feels like a modern sentiment being projected back. In Romeo and Juliet, when Juliet's mother first brings up marrying her to Paris, Juliet's basically cool with it and says she'll try to like him. She would have known this was going to happen because that is what rich women do, they marry into another family so their two families can be buddies. What else would she even be expecting?
It wouldn't bother me so much except that it's all we see! Give me a story about a woman who is like, "Cool, I shall give it my all!" Or she's like rolling up her sleeves and planning how she's going to get the court on her side and rule France, power behind the throne style (these women are mostly portrayed as villains, but who is to say the king would do a better job?). And also, have a little faith in women's fathers? You think men in the past didn't occasionally consider the happiness of their daughters? Not even a little bit?
#rant#not Jane Austen#but related I feel#Let me at France I would totally rule that country#kind fathers were invented in 1952#tropes#tropes we hate
