A year was not so long after all. He prepared her for the day when he would leave. But when the moment came, he found himself less prepared than she. For the first time in his life, Spock thought about returning from a mission, wondered whether or not he would survive. She had no one else, and that was a disturbing thought.

Back on board the Enterprise, he opened his case to unpack his few belongings and found things not quite as he’d left them. Tucked in at the bottom under all the folded clothes, Saavik had hidden away her knife. Spock stood in the privacy of his cabin turning it in his hand, remembering every word of their good-bye.

Some small doodles based on the above passages :)

Technically the Richmond coaches had two chances to move Jamie to center and then didn’t take it: once when Zava showed up and once when they switched everyone at practice.

Both times they assumed he wouldn’t do it

At the very least we know he was willing to do it the second time (he even asked if they meant to give him the same position), but honestly? The Jamie who came to them worried about the effect of Zava on the team might’ve done it too. He is well on board with being a team player at that point, which he also demonstrated many times in season two. He probably would’ve been hurt by it, but he would’ve agreed to do it

(Then we could’ve had a whole season deconstructing how Jamie conflates scoring with winning with value in a way that really isn’t healthy but I digress)

For the record I don’t think this would have fixed anything. They probably would’ve figured out how effective Jamie is in midfield sooner, but they still would’ve had Zava, and after Zava there would’ve been the tension of whether to keep Jamie where he was or have him step back up to striker, especially since they weren’t doing total football yet. In a lot of ways, having Jamie step up and volunteer for it later really sidesteps a lot of drama

I’m more so lamenting the fact that with Jamie, when it came to ‘be curious not judgmental, they chose to remain judgmental of his past behavior instead of curious about his new ones.

If I may, how do you typically approach choosing colors in your art? It always has just a lovely feel to it, so I was a bit curious; don't feel pressured to answer ofc :]

I’ve been using a lot of gradient maps lately, they work by switching the greys in your piece with a corresponding colour according to its value. Basically, I colour in black and white, grab a gradient map, and then I adjust the colours by hand until I’m happy with it. This isn’t the only kind of colouring I do, but it works great if you’re in a rush or you’re struggling to find a good starting point for your colours. I’ve been operating under a time crunch for these Sketchbook Week drawings and the Plenism promo stuff I made, so for all except one I used gradient maps. I’m actually in a bit of a funk with my colours right now soooo I’ll come back and do a proper colouring tutorial for my style once I’m happier with how my non gradient mapped colours are looking !

i just saw a post that was like “do u recognize this queer character” and it was fucking castiel with a little blurb like “cas is agender/genderfluid and their pronouns change!” and as a queer supernatural fan this means nothing because that’s literally just all angels. it’s not groundbreaking representation and i think we can acknowledge the fact that a lot of queer folks identify with castiel while also remembering that spn is a show that reflects the dominant culture of cisheteronormativity with a cast of mostly straight folks marketed to an audience of mostly straight folks

The thing is, Jinx could have not blown up over half the council and peace still wouldn’t have happened. Piltover is being operated and plied by those who have never conceived of a world united and at their core, do not want it.

The council at large is more than happy to indulge in the exports and labor of Zaun but repeatedly demand Hextech enforced martial action at any rumbling of dissatisfaction that pricks their ears. Peace is not as easy as a declaration. This would have happened again.

Even down to Cassandra creating a way to divert The Grey from further infecting Zaun’s air being a protected family secret rather than a staple, standard known and used practice betrays this. Because The Grey is not the only poison choking Zaun’s air. It was simply the one doing so much damage that it couldn’t be ignored. It was a diversion of the issue. Especially because Cassandra also saved the recipe for The Grey itself.

Not to mention, Ambessa clearly would have done whatever necessary to disguise her manufactured military coup as a concerted effort to protect Piltover. If Jinx hadn’t done it, Ambessa would’ve offered someone else the opportunity, albeit in a more controlled gambit. Hell. She probably would’ve offered it to Jinx if she could have gotten Mel in a protected position.

One of the best parts of S2 so far is how well they’re able to showcase that one act of retaliation against Piltover’s powerful was enough to carry them into martial law. And the juxtaposition of how Piltover’s mourning and attempts to rebuild are held as sacred compared to Zaun’s….Effervescent.

The trouble with rewatching the first four episodes of Lockwood & Co. (Netflix my beloathed) is that during the third episode, I started thinking, “I need, like, monster-of-the-week Lockwood & Co.”

Which is a fine thought, except that my brain offered up Supernatural as the solution.
