ask me how i feel about the 6,000+ words of season 2 Peter/Olivia i've been working on

[sigmundite]

Y'all. I have many ships but one OTP: Guy/Asch from Tales of the Abyss. And for many, many years on this blog my banner has been a random screenshot from the Tales of the Abyss anime (which is on Youtube btw) where they were both in the shot. Yay. (It's a rarepair from an old fandom, I am used to subsisting on crumbs)

NO LONGER!

I've been wanting to update my banner for a long time but wanted something I could properly attribute to an artist, so I commissioned my dear friend @eemamminy-art for art of them that was mine my own my precious

LOOK AT IT. IT'S WONDERFUL! BEHOLD and continue to behold because this will probably be my tumblr banner until the site crumbles to dust, whenever that may be

Today though, I AM FILLED WITH POWER

ultimate ships challenge - the first otp Harry/Hermione  »  Harry Potter

Harry felt a thrill of something that was beyond excitement, more like fear. Now that he was so near, he wondered whether he wanted to see after all. Perhaps Hermione knew how he was feeling, because she reached for his hand and took the lead for the first time, pulling him forward.

do you ship ravage and drift? you draw them a lot and they're always so touchy lol

nah. they're really touchy amicas, tho. probably because im always touchy with my friends and it just kinda rubs off on my art. ravage is my Me character so i do end up giving him traits i have. one of those is being touchy with people he cares about 🤷‍♂️. he's especially touchy with drift as when they were grouped together in the dead end (which is where they met in my brain), ravage spent a lot of hours curled up in drift's car alt with laserbeak and buzzsaw for shelter. that touchy aspect never really left their dynamic.

and besides,

drift/deadlock's candle has always been lit for someone else.

(plus an extra doodle of them)

thinking about the disconnect between cesare and lucrezia in “the prince” after cesare’s failed at murdering alfonso and lucrezia has to clean up his mess, and she asks “is that all i am now, brother, borgia?” with such disgust and he just doesn’t even hear her because he’s too focused on her mixing the poison and realizing that by being with her he won’t be corrupting her because she’s already a “professional” like him, like the assassin he was ready to send in to finish the job to keep her hands free of blood. meanwhile lucrezia is ALREADY making up her mind that she wants a love outside of HIS love for her because the way he loves her is selfishly and all consuming and overly possessive and makes her feel sick because some part of her still feels like god is in the room with them when he’s near, but now i think she understands that not to be true. and he was right to ask ���god or the devil?” ACTUALLY maybe the disconnect begins before this….when he’s just run alfonso through with his sword and lucrezia comes rushing down the stairs to find the aftermath and cesare thinks he’s going to convince her it was an “accident” or perhaps it begins when lucrezia tells him “i am tired of my husband, of life, the only thing that never tires me is you”. yep this is when it begins i think!! right there. because of this he underestimates how much guilt lucrezia will feel if something happens to alfonso by cesare’s hand. how much she will come to resent being born a borgia, being loved by HIM.

Once Upon a Time…

There was a “Dark Wolf of the Woods:” A expansion of @meohme-thedorklord ‘s AU artwork, a reenvisioning of Haladriel as Little Red and the Big Bad Wolf…

Damned to wander Middle Earth in his wolf-form until freed, Sauron curses his fate: the Dark Wolf forever doomed by Huan to remain trapped until one of the Light comes to love him.

Unwilling to return to Angband to utter shame and disgrace at his failure at Tol- in -Gaurhoth, he waits, festering in his malice, until one She-elf wanders in his path…

I am delivering on a promise to develop on my one-shot cutesy bedtime story version: “Stuff of Fairytales.” But this will be darker, angstier, and spicier 🐺⚔️❤️

Thoughts, comments, insights, help, appreciation all sought on this! Thank you, dear readers🖤

Tagging because they loved the cutesy version: @marimosalad @iamstartraveller776 @eowyn7023 @penelopeisshipping @jhalya

Decided to do this ship template with Leviathan and MC! Amber! ^^

I decided to try this OTP chart from Twitter since it's really cool looking!

I had to use a picrew for Amber and use a fanart of Levi (couldn't find the artists sadly ;-; ) because I can't draw for the life of me lol- ^^;;

Thoughts on having Olivia say I love you first and Peter not saying it back?

I'm going to be honest here and admit that I never really liked that scene. Well, not the scene in itself, but the fact that they used THAT ONE to have their first "I love you" being on screen. It very much felt like the writers went "Waaaait, we need to have at least one of them say 'I love you' before Peter steps into the Machine because people expect stuff like this to happen in scenes like these!!"

Now I am very biased because I wrote hundreds of thousands of words about Peter and Olivia through the years, so I have my own very personal headcanons when it comes to their relationship. Part of why I never really liked that scene in 3x21 is because it didn't really...fit them and their dynamic, I don't know how else to put it. To me, at this point of the show, after going through everything they went through, they know they're in love with each other.

Love is Olivia crossing over to get Peter back. Love is Peter choosing to go back to the blue verse with Olivia when she asks him to, even if she doesn't make it back herself. Love is Peter being honest with her and telling her about his failures and being deceived, when he could have lied, when he knew it would break them. Love is Olivia forgiving him and giving them a chance.

Love is them cuddling in bed at sunrise, not caring about Walter being butt-naked on the other side of the door.

I could go on and on, but hopefully you get my point.

To me, Peter and Olivia are more about acts of love than about the spoken words themselves. I'm sure they say it to each other, and that they mean it when they do. To me, it doesn't really matter much how it happens the first time, or who says it first, or even if the other says it back right away.

So basically, I don't really like the way it happens on the show because it felt a bit contrived, but I forgive the writers because those two idiots are beautiful and in love anyway.

Marazhai Aezyrraesh and the Rogue Trader X William Bouguereau -Dante and Virgil (1850)

"We are spared such weaknesses. We see deeper - and in that depth, there is only mastery and submission." "The painting depicts a scene from Dante's Divine Comedy, which narrates a journey through Hell by Dante and his guide Virgil. In the scene, the author and his guide are looking on as two damned souls are entwined in eternal combat." (x)

I know we’re Mistynat girlies but I’m really hoping we get some Misty x Lottie x Van soon considering it looks like they’re going to be Lottie’s first real followers. There’s just something so cute about the imagine of adult Van and Misty curled around a silk draped Lottie.

Oooh, this is something I haven't considered! I'm very interested in the Van/Lottie dynamic back in '96, and can't wait to see how it plays out in '21. And I have been thinking about Misty/Lottie a lot recently - I'm very intrigued by Misty both trying to find logical explanations for everything but also not totally discounting the unexplainable, and supporting Lottie. And then at the same time her being right there with Van and Lottie at the end of season 1.

I hadn't thought much about Van/Misty before the most recent episode, but - funny timing, anon - I'm making a gifset right now of the two of them because they're both the ones to put together the image of the symbol in a map/photos, and I think that's interesting; I can't wait to see how they develop as Lottie's first-ish (Mari is SO aggressively in favor of Lottie, I hesitate to put Misty above her as first, even though Misty was the one in the season finale) followers, and how that plays out when they are all back together again. (Because I am a mistynat girlie I cannot see Misty do anything but side with Natalie on the skeptical side, even if she doesn't really feel that way!)

So looking at each of the three of these pairs individual, I am 👀👀👀 right there with you to see what happens when it's all of them. And what, I'm gonna say no to a cuddle pile??
