the human survivors and the illusion of safety!!!🤷‍♀️

Cause I read islands recently and Jo and two bread tom are underrated imo

Security theater: is very Large Obtrusive security measures to give the illusion or assurance its Safer while in reality its not

Simon and Two Bread Tom are obviously parallels to each other. They are both a) human survivors of the mushroom war b) older male figure idk how to phrase that but anyway and c) voiced by the Same Guy

But theres also!! Another really interesting way these guys overlap

They both make choices to keep the people they love safe that also inadvertently put the exact people they want to protect in danger

In the islands comic two bread tom almost loses Jo twice causing him to develop a paranoia of losing people close to him

...but he never actually lost her until he becomes so Afraid of losing her he even starts the process to construct the guardian

Which will lead to the separation of Another family (Finn's)

(Simon also does this by putting on the crown to protect marceline btw he becomes a danger to her while trying to keep her safe and even though we could say he doesnt have a Choice. I m sure to two bread tom in his logic he Also doesn't have a choice)

they are afraid of monsters or threats they build a monster themselves

original sketches

DELTORA FASHION CONCEPT ART V2

hello i have finally coloured some rough sketches of some deltoran fashions, a redraw of some really old sketches from ages ago.

im a pretty amateur concept artists and i hate designing clothes so truly was a challenge for me hahah BUT it has given me plenty of time to think of headcanons. im not sure what i've already posted about or not so im just gonna go ahead and rant

these characters were originally just models for me to draw the clothes on, so i didn't need to draw a new person every time; although in some of my earliest sketches of different people groups i did a bunch of people. but naturally these characters have developed a little and some of them are my beloved adin-era OCs <3

[about 4,500 words]

⬜ JALIS

since the jalis are reknowned for their warrior prowess and their signature gold armour, i thought it'd be neat that even if when they're not wearing the full set, they are always wearing their arm guards. it's a sense of pride and identity, they probably receive them as a rite of passage into adulthood. not every jalis is a knight, but they value a heart of courage and great feats and they all have them, and would wear them always (or at least special occasions if one prefers not).

i headcanon that jasmine was gifted her own set of arm guards as an expression of their respect and admiration of her. her relationship with glock grew so much and was cut off, but she earned her "heart of a jalis" and we didnt get to see much of jasmine and gers together, but theres plenty of time post-DQ3. i think my jasmine and the jalis thoughts should be a separate post though, otherwise this post will never end 😂

i dont imagine that the jalis had special party clothes, i think they just turn up in their usual clothes and get drunk and dance their hearts out maybe start a brawl thats none of my business

i cant remember why i've been giving them this geometric sort of pattern tbh. i think i drew someone at some point and wanted it to look different to mcbride's design but im not sure if i like it or not. the plus is that i can make diamond motifs though!!

i also cant really remember how my brown skin gold hair came to be 🤔🤔 wait backtracking i think what happened is that i decided to draw del people as black latinx inspired, so it wasn't that big a step to make jalis also dark skinned since they're both in the south (deltora geography is weird tho so like it's not that deep) and then i think i made them blonde as i "why not??" situation but tHEN i thought maybe it's connected to their jalis gold?

my headcanon is that their armour is made of a unique metal that can only be found in diamond territory, it's super hard, tough, and light etc. so maybe whatever is In The Ground is also in them and their blood and shows in their hair????

🥳 fun fact 🥳 wasn't until i had to draw steven and glock side by side that i had realised what i'd done?? i.e. steven canonically has brown skin gold hair too¹. which now forces me to think about whether it should be a coincidence (like it is) or shall i headcanon that steven and nevets' father was jalis² 🤔 ¹ pretty sure it's about the dichotomy, to show contrast but connection between the brothers. i have many steven and nevets thoughts but that should also be another post ² i am.

🟩 DREAD GNOMES

these characters are adin-era, so unfortunately this would be when the gnomes still hunt the kin. whats weird is that i realised that i was picturing the caramelly brown fabric that this gnome is wearing was the kin pelt and not the big furry parts?? i usually picture the kin as more like velvetty. idk what the thicker fur parts would be though?? literally any other animal i guess 😅 i dont know it doesn't make sense and it's only occurring to me right now i shall have to think about it lmao

anyway made them green because why not. maybe they come in different colours idk. this gnome is pre-gellick so does go out in the sun, gellick-era gnomes would be waaaaay more paler they probably looked white. this could be similar to the jalis and like theres something in the grounddd

gla-thon claims that the dread gnomes knew that lesser gems had weaker but the same powers of the great talisman gems (sots), but im not sure if they knew it before adin. would be interesting if they did 🤔 and how they figured it out?? (side note but now im wondering about how withick knew what to write about the gems??) would imply that if they got the great emerald than they could deduce there are others surely. unless they thought it was a freak accident/miracle. anyway we know they love gems and gold etc etc so they obviously decorate themselves with heaps of jewellery

triangle motifs in homage to their mountain 💚

i gave them a sort of war paint ritual. i'm not sure if they all do the same markings, but this one was specifically to symbolise a bow and arrow (arrow going up the nose). you can see it a bit better here lol. i also decided that sometimes they wear it for purely cosmetic purposes. im not sure what the substance is exactly though. i think in my head i was imagining something similar to kohl, but maybe not.

🥳 fun fact 🥳 bre-tak and az-zure are lesbians (i make the rules)

🟦 MERE

oooooh baby this is my guy my babygirl my everything

okay so i think this headcanon developed recently when i last drew sky of rithmere and i thought that mere superstition encouraged them to wear their charms in random spots to avoid them cancelling each other out. it could be construed to be they were inspired by the night sky and the pattern of the stars perhaps. this led them to prefer asymmetrical fashions, mostly prominent in the armour i put badr in

🥳 fun fact 🥳 badr means "full moon" 👀

i think i originally decided the mere had leather armour just to give them something different iirc but the mere characters we see are usually the lithe, speedy, crafty type, so maybe light, mobile armour does work for them lol. anyway the main reason is that i had the image of studded leather, and i was like ohohoho STARS

i generally think of them with muted colours but sometimes they have a bold blue for their prized garmants. like zillah and co, the leaders of rithmere in adin's time were described with bright blue and starry cloaks. (i checked the wiki just to check zillah's name lol and apparently it's actually canon they have leather armour?? so not sure why i thought otherwise) anyway i do currently have minecraft brain but i did vaguely remember that people made ultramarine pigment from grinding lapis lazuli into a powder and im not sure if thats something the mere would do or if there's some strong blue dyes they can get from plants or something native to their territory 🤔

actually im liking that idea now? it would be incredibly time-consuming and labour-intensive but that would add to its value?? real world lapis lazuli has a horrible yield rate of 1kg lapis to 30g of pigment apparently, but it's a strong pigment (unless i misunderstand). alternative name for ultramarine is "permanent blue" apparently so. anyway ultramarine irl is more of a paint pigment, but in roddaverse maybe the mere make a lucky blue dye to use on cloaks and scarfs and shawls etc for good fortune?? me frantically checking that i put badr and luisa's wedding garb in bold blue lmAO oh i did but it's a little muted. they mix in oils and stuff to make the paint, so it doesnt seem like a stretch that they can mix different ingredients or ratio to make a cloth dye (to my very amateur understanding).

so im imagining now that they have a special (probably secret within the mere) process to create bright blue thread speckled with white (also gold to me. im pro deltora lapis with gold) and weave it into their beautiful starry night fabric. the amount of labour and the use of their prized lapis lazuli makes it very special, and maybe some people think it's the lapis that makes the fabric lucky or maybe some people think it's the work of love and time that makes it lucky, maybe both.

🥳 fun fact 🥳 i forgot that "bless your lucky stars" is like a real saying until recently lol

a starry cloak is probably something only the really rich could afford, but i think that they are more like heirlooms and states of office? im not sure if these pieces are things that one would purchase or something they would receive. bit hard to imagine people doing it for free but maybe it's one of those staple things that they revere and everyone else works to support them as well etc like the cooks in noradz are prized. idk. but yeah like a poorer family couldn't get a new one, but they would have one that has been in their family for generations you know? and i think that there would be something about like. idk youre meeting up with your doctor or something and youre nervous and you put on your family's best clothes (the most lucky ones) and maybe youre cynical about the whole good fortune stuff but there's something comforting about wearing the cloak your mother wore and your grandmother and your great grandmother wore, who also had to do such things. something something gives you the confidence to make your own luck because youre no longer pessimistic and allowing avoidable mistakes to happen

this means that the mere giving adin a cloak was a REALLY big deal because they definitely dont just go throwing those around and they would probably only give it to an outsider in trade for a steeeeeeeeeeeep price. which of course means that there would be knock offs with bad quality dye. lmao thats perfect actually. like 10000% there would be merchants in rithmere trying to sell cheaper versions to people that are expensive but still affordable to the average person. some would be different shades of blue, but the more crafty might have dyes that are strong but not lasting.

oh also i headcanon that palace fashion was a conglomerate of aspects from all the tribes but this should be it's own post i think. but i just remembered that i put gold thread in badr's braids in the formal wear sketch. i did that to tie in with the veins/flecks of gold (technically pyrite) in irl lapis lazuli. as such, people at del palace were inspired to weave gold into their hair too.

also gives me another thing to ship badr and luisa lmao. badr can wear some gold and luisa can wear some blue as a treat for me <3 moon and stars ocs beloved

🟨 DEL

alright. okay so del is definitely very white western patriarchal coded (most just a bias of living in that type of society i reckon) but it sucks and i'm passionate about making del NOT that. i think i've said this a million times now but this should be it's own post too, but most succinctly del is a very vibrant, curious, and daring sort of culture (e.g. their recklessness, exploration, trading). they were already marrying non-deltorans before adin (i imagine that some might have dared to marry outside of del, but it would have been way more politically complex so it was rarer and often kept quiet and rural). people of del were moving to other countries (like dorne) and people were probably moving to del, so del is definitely a big mix of different people and languages and superstitions and stuff.

but anyway i wanted to set a sort of base for before that. i've had art on the wip pile for YEARS about this and i'd flesh this out properly when it's done lol (hopefully we see that day) but since the topaz has the power to summon spirits, i really wanted to develop an aspect of del culture around that? i was inspired by Día De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and i still want to do some more in depth research and explore it more properly, but i like the idea that del will celebrate their lost loved ones life, coming together to remember, if they were lucky the got to see and even talk to their spirits. maybe pre-talisman they did know about topaz properties and they had a big deposit of gems that they would wheel out for the festival and the huge pile under the full moon would be enough to allow the spirits and people to interact? anyway this is a longwinded explanation of why my sketches of del fashion could be latinx inspired.

circle motifs in homage to the moon. the trim decoration on luisa's scabbards are based on moon phases :D

i also arbitrarily decided that del people love swishy clothes. they're all about the drama of cloaks and twirling in sundresses etc it's fun. not sure if i will actually follow through with that lol or maybe that can just be luisa.

🥳 fun fact 🥳 i think hearing luisa laugh would heal me

there's no particular reason for why i've been drawing a lot of del people as black, other than maybe spite lol. i think i drew jasmine and that got the ball rolling. del is a blank enough slate that they can be anything. im tired of white people being the front runners asldkjfhalsdf. bUT again del is multicultural, so there isn't a particular look for anyone in del. being del is more a state of mind and being part of community i think. you move to del and you participate in their society in one way or another and boom youre del now they adopted you.

🌈 PLAINS

hiran attire inspired by french aristocratic fashion. i cant remember who posted about it but pretty sure this was something that circulated around the fandom at least a little bit at some point.

added some subtle rainbow to harlow's outfits because he's the strong silent type. but i suppose there are so much more gaudier and extravagant outfits.

i was going to say this was just hira fashion and not like, rural plains fashion but i guess this is the same for all of them. it's just like a general direction for what someone might wear.

the swirly patterns?? i dont know. i drew them when i did adin's pre-battle speech as the last supper but i dont think there's a particular reason. i remember that i was trying to do something unique because lief recognises the cup in the city of rats as the same/similar to the one in noradz, so there had to be something to be recognisable lol but i probably just did it this way because it's relatively easy to doodle, just takes a bit of time.

🥳 fun fact 🥳 harlow was a cook before the shadow invasion. out of desperation, he and many others had to train to defend hira. he's big with natural balance and reflexes so he excelled and is a pretty adept warrior, but he will always think of himself as a cook first, warrior second.

now the armour!! freshest headcanon piping hot. yesterday when i was colouring i was sitting there like wow you look like a tin can man and you are so boring. we went from pretty colours to blank. im almost certain the hiran soldiers were described as silver with white plumes, so i was planning on doing that but they had intricate details on their armour because they are Extra, so it has the swirly patterns you can see on harlow's coat.

but then suddenly i was like. what if. pearlescent.

and honestly i loved it so much i didnt care i was setting myself up for some difficult work ahead lmao. but my general idea was that they're armour looked like it was silver, but if the light catches it at the right angle it exposes the rainbow in it. most of these headcanons i've had baking for at least a year, but this is very new so i dont any hard details yet. kira mentioned enamel or ceramic and lowkey interested in having a look into that so that theres another armour material. maybe it's gonna be like special jalis gold and special plains silver. maybe something else. i also just remembered bismuth exists (same boat as gold as very heavy and soft) but i think maybe it's too loud, i think im liking the more subtle pearlescent thing aLTHOUGH it's a good metallic rainbow reference 👀 maybe there is an esteemed plains warrior with a rainbow sword

ANYWAY pearlescent armour really hit my heart because oh my god once upon a time the plains had a shore and they could visit the sea,,,, lowkey ocean vibes without an ocean [screaming crying cat spinning in a void.gif]

🥳 fun fact 🥳 i have NO idea what food harlow has made. i think i had ratatouille on the brain at the time????

🟥 RALADS

⚠ PROPAGANDA ALERT ⚠

ruby territory best territory. ruby symbol of happiness. warns of danger AND antidote to poison. double helpful. ralads are so sweet and so smart. architectural and engineering marvels. living in harmony with the land and beasts. D'OR!!! manus and nanion friendship underrated and so special to me. horse girls. AND. broome. god theres so much i could say about broome that i cant say anything. anyway you guys know im normal about broome yes of course. separate post etc etc

i think technically this is a headcanon but it's not that big a stretch surely but as above i always picture ralads as in harmony with nature. never take more than they need, know how to work with not against, theyre not the main attraction but an equal part of the bigger picture.. this isn't even about how smart they are with engineering and their perfectly round houses with bricks that are cut perfectly. im thinking about their knowledge of their world is so strong and wide and diverse. they have the most vibrant and potent dyes and pigments around, they have the most colourful fabrics and clothes around. the plains has many colours but it can't compete, and they have different styles. i think that the hirans would trade for the dyes though (maybe undercutting pre-adin, maybe more equal post-unification). i think that they would also have a pretty decent blue dye but it is still inferior to mere lapis lazuli blue. it is probably a dye that could be used for a mid range mere garment?

maybe it's the anime fault but i do usually imagine ralads as barefoot but i also drew iris with construction tools and just the idea of ralads walking around a construction site barefoot was not fun to me. but it could be a hobbit tough soles situation. anyway i drew some shoes so i had a vague reference if i wanted to draw ralad shoes.

obviously had a problem drawing warrior attire for a non-war race. but i thought what if i leaned into the stories the hirans tell about how the scouts and soldiers they send into the ralad wilds never returned and were often found dead with broken bones or whatnot. definitely big watching but never seen vibes imo. so i decked iris out in some camouflage lol

🥳 fun fact 🥳 im sure the ralads can whistle and whatnot to make birdcall signals, but i thought it was fun for iris to be able to make birdcalls with her flute

HEY ALSO headcanon about ralad hair. i was making some dragon art from a doran pov that i was going to save for that but i cant wait now. but we know from Tales that the ralads had a good relationship with the ruby dragons, could even summon them (unless im misremembering and it was more like a premeditated calling) but i was thinking about how they nest with .. human? hair. and i was thinking what if they grow out their hair? and then they offer it to a dragon when they are ready? i dont know if there's a nesting season for dragons but it could be something like that? ralad-dragon ceremony and party time. this isn't a rite of passage type of thing, just something that they like to do. not everyone does it probably, but most do it once, some people do it several or many times in their lifetime. it's an honour, but not really a sacrifice to them. it's part of the world balance and theyre willing to serve the dragons as the dragons serve them as they water the plants and the plants feed them and they feed beasts and beasts feed them.

also dont remember why i did the hair so bright and orangey??? genuinely perplexed lmao. probably was leaning into irl ginger but like THEYRE BLUE so i could probably make them actual red. not sure if this is also like a "theres something in the ground" situation also that makes their hair red but maybe 😂😂

side note but it's lowkey so wild to me that rodda was like yeah these guys are blue-grey with red hair, and then everyone else is like an average person, BUT the mountain people are short. like they're all just some guy basically???

it does make return to del so so funny because fallow is like AYO look at these MONSTERS they are UGLY and WEIRD

but i guess thats part of the motivation to give the deltora tribes some basic unique traits.

🟪 TORANS

okay so toran robes as inspired by japanese fashion is definitely something that's floated around the fandom for ages. i can't remember if it was before or after seeing posts about it that i started my first concept sketches but i think it probably had a hand in helping me visualise what rodda was talking about when she described their robes as butterfly wings when they speed-travelled. like yeah big deep sleeves and floor trailing hems WOULD probably look like colourful butterfly wings in the wind,,

🥳 fun fact 🥳 azami be always hungry. if only she knew someone who liked to cook 🤔

i don't have much to say design-wise, kinda just did various doodling. they would probably be second in extravagance to the plains, but it's a different sort of detail? they are probably a bit more refined and elegant than the hirans who are probably more bold in their designs. torans grow to be vain and selfish (it's already started by adin's time) so they probably have a high value on the beauty of their belongings, and it probably began with imagery of beasts and plants and dragons in amethyst territory, "true" pictures. but as time went on it probably distorted a bit and became idealised and/or fantastical etc.

OKAY SO my brain bluescreened just now for a moment trying to figure out how a people who use magic to make life easier, were also the ones known for their weaving, a manual hands-on task (lief's cloak is praised as being worthy of toran looms, implying high grade; pretty sure this was supposed to be a hint that his mother is not who he thinks she is also). some conclusions are 1) they weave with magic (sad, horrible), 2) they weave as a past-time, for fun etc (okay) but i took it to a third option

for a long time ive been thinking about toran magic as like, a balance and an energy thing (because i like that stuff lol) they cannot create something from nothing, only change things. they couldnt summon a fire, but they could change a piece of wood to fire and start a campfire, or those more advanced could even change the air into fire. but honestly it's left me a bit unsatisfied. like how does that explain the tora-del highway? hELL tora itself? what happened to the marble that got carved away? also how can that mountain have been so perfect there was no cracks or seams?? or did they carve those bits out lol. questions for another day.

anyway i was thinking about how hobbies are good for you, you dont have to be good at something but it's good to do stuff for fun and when you do crafts you get a cool thing at the end of it that you made. but it's also like skills you can develop? and i wondered what if weaving is a starter skill that they learn, some of them at least. maybe there are different activities, and they do the one that speaks to them the most. there were other types of artisans in tora, just not as talked about (i guess they're robes are pretty iconic so it's easy for people to go wow robes wow weavers who made fabric for the robes so soft) like i distinctly remember barda remarking about how tora was untouched and why bandits wouldn't have stolen the carved box that ended up holding the auto-reply letters from the palace.

so what im thinking is that maybe this builds a foundation to help torans visualise and perform their magic?

it actually solves a problem ive had in my headcanons i feel like ive got seven eyes open rn 😂😂 but in relation to del culture and traditions, i've been thinking about there being a physical and spiritual realm of course, and maybe it's the comfort of threes but it felt like something was missing.

i dont know what to call it yet, but im thinking the third thing is like the glue, it connects all things, it's in everything. it's like a third realm but also more of like a medium maybe? kind of sappy but we can just call this the magical realm for now. i actually used to think of toran magic as being like a subset of the greater deltora magic, but now im thinking it's more like torans are more receptive to the magic realm, as del are to the spiritual, and the ralads to the physical; theyre the experts in these things, which is why unified deltora is important 😂; likewise dread gnomes specialise in gems, jalis in combat, mere in cunning, plains in hope perhaps? literally never thought about it quite like this so maybe i will process it different later and designate different specialties.

so when the torans are young, they learn a craft and these skills help them sort of "tap into" the magical realm. so in the case i first thought of, when a toran weaver starts to see and interact with the magical realm, the easiest way for them to engage with it would be to think of it as weaving. they might see the magical realm as threads that connect everything, and weave things together to get what they want. a potter might see it as a malleable mass and sculpt what they want. a carpenter might see it as something to carve, something to break and put together.

the magical realm is not a concrete thing at all, up to interpretation, perhaps a unique experience to anyone who could glimpse in; don't strictly have to be toran, but they are perhaps naturally receptive to it or it could even be entirely a knowledge thing and that they are taught about it more; someone like verity who had her eyes opened to this realm, and learned to interact with it on instinct. does open questions to what the hell is up with the plains lmao but i think thats another post.

__

sorry about all the "i'll tell you in another post" i was attempting to stay on track 😂😂 also there's a 90% chance im gonna forget to come back and write about them so if anyone is dying to know feel free to send me an ask or something???

also if you want to know more about these OCs let me know 👀 i can find an ask game or something maybe. it's a case of i know a lot but will forget it all if asked to speak freely, i need specific questions. i have also developed the first four a bit more, but the last three are not without character so they can still be included. maybe it will be a group effort and they will have Background.

✮ Wearing his clothes✮

Johnny Cage x blk!fem! reader.⋆⸜

(first time writing.. ntm is the story is actual ass I tried to make him the most sexiest man alive..

no warnings yet🤪 mostly just a few curse words.

You and johhny had been dating for a while now.. He always call you sexy mama and you called him your sexy daddy Sometimes you would wonder about the things he did went he was fighting, what outfit he wore.. how’d his hair loo. Just everything. One day you decided to look more into what he did everyday

One regular Saturday morning, Johnny was out somewhere. He always went out somewhere and brings your favorite things back for you and some extra things too, So you never paid much attention to what he would be doing.

You finally got tired of the random dirty boxers on the floor and decided to clean up the whole house while johhny was gone. Just a little cleaning wouldn’t hurt? So you clean almost the whole house.. Even the things you didn’t even need to change or clean. But you still just wanted to so one last thing. Just for him. You wanted to clean his closet. You looked to the closet hesitating to open the double doors in fear of whatever might be in there.. You crept to the closet making sure johnny wasnt outside the door standing there looking at your ass.

You opened the double doors to reveal the closet…

Suprisly cleaned?? Johnny having a neat ass closet wasn’t fucking possible.. Suspicious.. it wasn’t really big like a walk in closet but it had enough space to fit one human in it. You looked through the clothes, swiping them away each second until you found the outfit.. To the regular eyes it was just a blue dress suit and black dress pants.. But to you it was heaven.. The same oufit he used to literally K.O his opponents in a stylish goofball way.. You quickly took the pair of the nicely hanged pants and shirt and put them among your body..

After putting it on it looked super good on you.. Surprisingly good on you it fit you very well. It fit nice and tight on your ass to give it a more plump and juicey look, Your boobs looked nice within the dress shirt sitting perfectly.

You started doing poses in the mirror because you really liked the outfit. Prolly because Johnny wore it.. you thought you were actual hot shit.. After posing it the mirror for almost hours on end,doing random ass poses and taking selfies in the mirror to send to johnny later. You suddenly hear the door open with groceries bags bustling in the background

“Shit..”

You said quietly as you tried to get it from your skin,sadly… that shit would not come off. “What the fuck??!?” You whispered slightly loudly trying to get it off. You knew johnny had something to do with this. He was always doing these goofball gimmicks just to have sex with you.. You liked it tho, The thrill of not knowing what would be coming next for his little tricks slightly turned you on but you could nevet admit that Johnny.. The constant teasing would suck the life force out of you.

You snapped out of your thoughts as you heard johhny say “Y/n Where ya at?” He said in a american accent looking for you. You didnt have time to try more before the door knob started to turn from the outside as the door pushed open letting the light in from the outside.

“The fuck are you doing?”

Sai

One of my absolute favorite moment’s in anything is when Sai decides that he wants to listen to Naruto about why he’s so determined to get Sasuke back, while they’re in the middle of a mission. Not just any mission, but a mission on which Sai has just been helping the enemy on and provided them with classified information about Konoha’s anbu. Boy really just completed his mission and then decided he wasn’t going to play that game anymore because he wanted to hear Naruto out.

How he’s socially awkward but trying to damned hard to learn. Sai had years of natural social growth snatched away from Danzo and he nevet used that as an excuse. He made mistakes and tried to learn from them so that he could do better. No matter what he was doing he was always trying to learn. To catch up to all of the kids his age who hadn’t been denied access to basic emotions and socialization in the same way he had. (Naruto was obviously denied standard social interaction but he never had someone hovering behind him telling him not to be run by his emotions or to refrain from showing emotion at all)

How his dream was to show his brother Shin his drawings because it was the best way he had to display his emotions.

(Anime only?) His infinite dream. He really just wants to be told he has a nice smile, nothing else. It’s so sweet and simple and makes perfect sense for him given how he was raised.

The little ‘bleep’ he does

(Anime only?) When he tried out the soldier pill Sakura made and immediately regretted it. Being poisoned was a risk (clearly) and he took it so he could give her some honest feedback on her work. It’s not his fault Sakura should not be trusted to make Soldier pills.

(Anime only?) The way he took note’s on Shino’s favorite things and hobbies. Naruto has just dismissed Shino as someone he doesn’t know anything about, and as soon as Shino starts telling them about himself Sai takes note. Literally. He wants so badly to learn about the people around him, even the ‘weird’ one’s.

(Movie only: Lost tower) the development from letting Sakura fall to her possible death to saving her from getting sent back to the past with Naruto and Yamato. I just love how he swooped in to stop her from falling into the literal void.

(Anime only) Sai on the green jumpsuit. That’s all i have to say. He truly believed wearing the jumpsuit would make him more youthful and i respect the heck out of that.

thinking about her in my captain crusher verse beverly still goes to medical school, she just nevet gets to practice it, she ends up shiningduring the command rotation and the captain convinces her to give it a try and she becomes captain of the enterprise by the time she is 40 <3

[arcade-is-okay-again]

Does the time loop involve a concert? It happened so often but no concert. I don't think a concert. And my friend moved and more people moved and its impossible but its possible the time loop didnt involve a concert. My friend is taking me to a concert for my birthday, my favourite band in the entire world. A special day. But I spent time with my friends and I remember the whole thing and the entire time because it happened before. But I remember all my loops only after they happened but I know I would remember my favourite band and meeting them in person because vip tickets. But they wipe my memory somehow and i'm only allowed to remember it while it's happening and I have to remember first and it's okay it's happening again. I promise. There's some hope in me somewhere that I'm not actually dead and dying and I'll be okay and that maybe they'll let me out if I do a good enough job not messing up the time loop and aending the world out of orbit somehow. But I don't remember a concert but I do remember Thomas the tank engine and how they remove their faces if the teain gets decomissioned, which must also be how Cars work, right? How Ship of Thesias are they? I remember them. But I don't remembet a concery which means time is moving but it is still moving and sometimes i wonder if the mold in my windowsil between my windows is the problem and if I move out of somewhere with mold yhen I'll actually be okay and it was all the molda fault. But mold is neat, very fun. I'm allergic to some of it and that's okay, that's my fault becquse it helps other people that are not me. And then i have to ask why i don't remember a concert and why? What's wrong with me i hope ahe doesnt give the ticket away and remembers she was inviting me in the first place i love the band what a nice birthday present ill never be able to pay back how devasting in the end. Its going to be songs from thwir new album i qssume and that means that im probably foi g to know all the words before she doea becase i listen to marianas trench so much and ahe dowan and I hope i get to keep the ticket because I have a little colelction now and i promise i'll take a bunch of pictures to remembet the concert because itll be wonderfuland realy apeciq to me idont remember a concert but i memorised that one video entirely and then i mm memorising anothet one because i watch it so much because i need siunr and it sounds long. I'm playing a pot of bg3 lately and its incredible and special yo me and i any yo kiss that wizard man so much, he seems wonderful and he seems like ged help me throygh peychosis and be sweet to me and i want tat so bqdly because i love him hes my ideal man and im back into dnd interests again and it makes me question what year it is all ovet again and i have to wonder if ive been in the hospital yhis entire time because why? I've nevet been this fucked ip brfore why now? What have I done? Have i forsaken a goddess i idnt intend to follow? I dont really believe in any gods or goddesses specifically but i believe in magic and i hope theres something more or else my dead cousin is just dead and everything stopped and maybe i couldmbe saved him if only unus annus hadnt ended 2 days before because i wouldve known the sadness and dread was because i was paychic and i knew ehat was coming but connected it to the wrong thing. I dont even remember him dying but i remember the water and the engine water how long will it survive? Dad wore a kilt to the funeral and it felt weird becayse that was honouring for a different person and not my cousin. Weird times. I remember pieces of it but not everything and i dont remember much the last year who told her i dont like bar concetts? Why does she think that?

Today i again flipped from nice and energetic sunshine boy filled with love and radiating empathy to melancholic tired and broken cynical creature

I don't wanna live

I don't know if i can handle myself

I'm still learning to feel and to be human

I'm still learning about my body and mind

It's so strange and difficult to understand, why am i not like others? why do i need to suppress expressions of myself?

It feels like life is worthless

I don't know what it's like to be loved, not because I don't have anybody, but because i can't feel it, maybe noone taught me to feel, maybe it's some kind of trauma, maybe i do not deserve it

It looks like i do not create emotions within me but i replicate them by guessing what should i feel in this or that situation, it's just the surface

I've never felt these "butterflies" or something, only overwhelming states i get are anxiety, melancholy, apathy

All my life i intentionally amplified my feelings to fit expectations and be like others, now I can't stop listening to music, not because i like it but because without it i do not feel anything

I'm tired

But still, i embrace absurdity, i can't break completely, the main thing is to believe, nevet back down, never give up

I will live

Not because i want to be alive

But because I don't have real reason to live

OOC ; SO! I wanted to drop by and apologize for not being much active recently, I have been hardcore grinding in idv to get mr. Bastard painter's s skin and basically that's all I do. Hopefully the gacha gods have mercy over me and my undying need to get Edgar and he ends up coming home soon, so until then my activity may or may not be a lil scarce (??) ahfjdhdjshd

Same applies to my other blogs! @guiltburied ; @secretlykept ; @toughenedcore ; @artisticichor ; @timegele ; whatever else I may have sjfnwkfbe

Family (A Tiger and Bunny mini-drabble)

Barnaby has nevet known closeness, that was a fleeting feeling, with Maverick, he knew it was false, for Samantha, she was too far, he was sure he'd die alone.

And yet, here he is.

Sitting and talking with Anju, he finds himself opening up to her about his troubles.

He talks to Muramasa, both agreeing on how reckless and dumb Kotetsu can get.

He listens to Kaede, offering her advice and giving smiles full of pride as she proves herself yet again.

He pays his respects to Tomoe, thanking her for helping shape the man they both love

At night, he huddles close to Kotetsu, basking in his warmth and the sound of his heart.

He lets one tear roll down his cheek, not one of pain, nor loneliness, but of fondness and warmth

Ah, he's found it, he thinks to himself

A family

[gunmetal-ring]

11x16 stream of consciousness

This is reminding me of jeepers creepers for some reason and idk why lol

Flashback... surprise. Aw does hershel have a stuffed pig?! That's so fuckin cute I wanna see it

Lance is not a great military commander if he's just like. Flipping coins lmao

Oh shit real Stephanie/max and Eugene did the deed! Nerds. Manbun alert.

OK so they're gonna ditch I guess. Where are they? Isn't Leah with them? I guess not?

If they're trying to sneak away in broad daylight...?

Okay so Leah is with some non armored stormtroopers?? How did Leah not see them sneaking away aren't they like RIGHT there

Hiding underground. Nice. "My wife is pregnant" Oh? Interesting that it matters to you now. #foreshadowing Annie's gonna die. Maggie is starting to trust negan... spinoff alert. Ew gross swarm of locusts.

Where is the 2nd location WHAT are they clearing can I please get some goddamn answers are they just sweeping for maggie?? Hello?! Oop there it is. The revolution. Calling bs that the stormtroopers aren't radioing for help. GABE FOR THE SNEAK ATTACK GODDAMN ok I officially like him he's proved himself to be a badass this season.

"Scholarship fund" lol and pay for textbooks with $50,000 amirite?! #cancelstudentloandebt. Oh no, the fundraiser queen is corrupt, whoda thunkit

Incredible that all these secret hiding locations are just. Popping up out of nowhere. I rly find it hilarious that oceanside has existed only to tell the commonwealth to fuck off. No hiding Maggie and team family, no food assistance, no nothing.

Sebastian, how does the old saying go? If everyone around you is an asshole, maybe it's you? Also like literally all max had to do was say "Yup working late" and not act like she's snooping how the fuck would he know any better. You can tell she's the younger sibling. Her parents gave up on being strict by the time mercer got thru to them.

?? What?? Okay sure just rig the building. Uh oh... here comes Leah. She's a better shot than that. The whole swarm of locusts thing would have been better w pope bc he was the crazy religious one. Leah didn't rly seem to give a shit one way or the other. I find it hard to believe she couldn't hit Maggie while running away but whatever ok.

What do you know the rogue assassin you hired is rogue. Lance you rly do suck as a military commander lol

Yup here it comes, the nonsensical narrative arc in which Daryl kills Leah to save Maggie. Makes all the sense in the world. Ah and apparently everyone knows who leah is. Ok time to stop being bitter. Wait oh no oh fuck is Daryl gonna kill Leah bc Leah kills Lydia?! No God pls no I'm sorry Kang I'll take everything i said back this is a great season so far its my favorite ever and the writing has been a1 I swear and I don't even care abt caryl I promise ill nevet write fic that fixes nonexistent plot holes bc nothing about this season could possibly be improved just DONT kill Lydia.

Connie's outfit is very cute I like that shirt. Lol this is magnas first scene in like a hundred episodes I forgot about her. Zeke is a badass as per usual

Wouldn't all the walkers be drawn to the explosion at the building? Not just wandering in the woods? She knocked her out and tied her to a chair and Maggie has been unconscious for like 6 hours... sure. "Everyone you love will be dead" why not hunt them down while Maggie is knocked out overnight? Why just sit there the whole time? OK maybe Maggie will kill Leah and be done with it. I'd actually be fine with that. Yup ok there it is. Great. No fuckin fanfare or anything either. Whatever at least it's over now. I'm sure we won't ever see a discussion or outpouring of feelings about it either were just supposed to accept that Daryl had no feelings and was totally neutral about killing the first woman he'd ever had a relationship with. Sure. Honestly I'd be OK if he talked to Carol about it bc that would salvage this the absolute tiniest bit but I know that won't happen.

Real talk tho how did Connie get that shit printed lol. OK Alexandria is now property of commonwealth? And hilltop? Why? Why not just kill everyone and leave? Seriously this shit is so stupid. OK at least they're rounding people up. Oh lol there's oceanside. Heads they kill them tails they're prisoners of war? What?

Surprise surprise this episode sucked, I'm rly over it. I hate that I'm actually glad this arc is over like seriously I wish I loved this show still I wish I wasn't so fuckin invested and disappointed I want to love the show that my ship is in and I hate that I'm actually glad it's ending. Ugh. UGH. I hate that I'm actually looking forward to caryl going canon bc it means the buildup is over and I know they're gonna fuck up the build up. UGH!!!!

Anyway I'm just gonna start my 10c 11a 11b rewrite now. Leave the missing moments until after the series is over. I'm gonna make a list of moments that we should have seen tho bc no fuckin way am I ever gonna rewatch this season lol.

Omg I didn't even realize that they blew up Barrington house lol. "We've been talking about luck a lot" Oh right when else did they talk about luck? Wasn't that with Carol and Daryl? With double capper acorns? With "we have luck on our side" and "our luck has run out" like it JUST fucking happened! Where are THOSE callbacks?!

Overall disappointed but not the least bit surprised. Underwhelmed once more. Truly insane just how shitty this season has been so far. Glad this block is over and looking forward to all the fix it fic coming this hiatus. Ugh.

[leieatsmen]

Your void post gave me sm motivation cuz im at the same position u used to be i thought i will nevet get in and u told that u felt the same but u didn't give up and eventually got in so tysm:)

thank youuu ! wish you all the best

[nostuntmanneeded]

Sebastian's commitment to the roles he play never ceases to me, I can nevet get enough of his devotedness to each project and sees to it that everything is as authentic as possible and that he does everything in his power to peform to the fullest extent of his capabilities. He sure as hell never fail to deliver and doesn't half ass shit to, regardless of how big or small the role and project is. I remember him being asked about that scene from The Bronze in an interview and he mentioned about while having a body double, he performed most of the moves himself he simply wasn't able to perform all of them because he didn't get enough time to practice but revealed that he would have been able and was willing to perform all the moves on his own if he only had ample time to practice and seeing him so dedicated for a comedic sex scene in an indie movie is both amusing and admirable. That's what you call an artist! Barnacle, if I were you, I'd really stick to modelling, the acting industry has no room for your problematic, desperate clout chasing and unskilled wannabe ass. You barely have any dignity and people who respect you as it is, just give it up and don't make yourself a bigger joke than you already are, there are tons of other jobs out there, it's getting pretty exhausting, having to feel all the embarrassment for you ✌

This!

Sebastian has shown and even talked about his love and dedication for acting. He's one of those actors who care more about the craft, the art and the job more than the fame and attention, and I love that.

I don't even know if the modeling industry would accept Alejandra's actions if I'm being honest. Maybe she should go back to school and finish her degree in PR.

[depressedhatakekakashi]

Ok but

Yua finding out she’s pregnant and dealing with the fall out from her family, who is far from impressed with her life choices and the results of them.

Being told whatever child she has, it will nevet be a oart of her family, so she just decides to leave. It’s not an easy choice, but Yua doesn’t want to give up her child so she’ll suffer raising them alone without her families support if need be.

Continuing to be a samurai, watching over the land and ensuring no one who’s not welcome in the land of iron gets in.
