#ow i hurt myself with this one

[tiny-feisty-gay]

man we all know charlie had an emo phase but I really wanna explore the possibility she wasn't always the charlie we see now. she wasn't always gentle or kind or optimistic and all of those things are hard-won after battling the opposite. that maybe at some point, bitterness and anger and spite started eating her alive and she changed for herself first. that her kindness is selfish at its root, that her altruism is self-serving above all else, because if she kept on the same path, there might be nothing else left of her. and at some point it stopped being about her and started to be about others.

and as a bonus? this version of charlie would pair perfectly with a version of vaggie who wasn't always guilt-ridden, who truly believed in her cause. who was lethal and ruthless and loved what she did because she believed and ultimately it was what did her in. who had truly never hesitated before that child, because extermination wasn't just a necessity, it was a game. entertainment.

idk I just. I love their dynamic already so much but the contrast of charlie becoming optimistic for herself vs vaggie developing guilt and shame over others, and both of them finding the harmony between those extremes?

Who wants to be sad???

I just started a new playthrough and was reminded that Gale didn't seem to be too familiar with the area around Baldur's Gate. Like that's not where the nautiloid picked him up.

So if he wasn't picked up in Baldur's Gate, then he must have been picked up in Yartar (the city where the nautiloid knocks over a tower in the opening cinematic).

Look at where Yartar is in relation to Waterdeep:

If Gale was picked up in Yartar, that means he was traveling north.

Traveling north like he was headed towards one of the least populated areas of Faerun.

I think he was going there to die.

Do you

Do you ever think about the guilt Ace must have felt in his last moments of life. Luffy told him “being alone hurts worse then anything” and he knows since sabo is gone. He’s leaving Luffy alone. Like he KNOWS Luffy has his crew. And he knows they would do anything for him. But he also knows your crew and your brother are two different things. He’s leaving him alone. He’s hurting Luffy more than any injury he could suffer in this stupid war over him could.

Do you ever look back at your younger self and find you feel nothing but contempt for who you once were?

Too sick to do pretty much anything but also bored as hell. Been spinning the southdown flax blend on my espinner cause why not, nobody has ordered any and I can make more if they did.

It's a very interesting spin. I spun a sample before I put it up for sale to make sure it wasn't awful, which it's not; but it is difficult. Not sure I would have been able to spin it before I learnt how to spin flax. You gotta keep an eye on both components as you work, making sure you're not leaving the southdown behind or letting the flax bunch up. It's easy once you are used to it, but still different.

The espinner I got working a little better by seating the drive band correctly. Still not a fan of the fact that I'm not directly in control of the speed... on a wheel or spindle I often want to slow down or stop but it's a pain on the espinner and it leads to uneven yarn. These things are weird.

Anyway. Dont know what I'll do with it but it's nice to spin again. Have been having trouble using my supported spindles bc of my shoulders. I know there's a way to lay down where you can spin supported without shoulder pain; the issue is I can't lay in one position for very long bc then everything else hurts. And of course supported is what i switched to after wheel spinning was too painful, which i got into because drop spindling was too painful. Can you tell how upset I am that spinning is being slowly taken from me. Haha. Anyway. Glad for the espinner in this regard.

The SADDEST. SOGGIEST. Sharena I have EVER drawn.

Also maybe a little snippet as a treat...

You'll have to fight my messy roughs and handwriting for it though 😤😤😤

The real villain is the gods, it always has been. But the way its being set up early, years before it is in the books is so wonderfully done.

We don't get to see Annabeth truly denounce her mother till the mark of Athena in the books. But,

"eat of be eaten. power and glory and nothing else matters. ares is that way. zeus is that way. my mother, is that way. HE isn't that way. he's better than that. maybe I was that way once, but I don't wanna be that way anymore. I won't be like all of you. I just won't"

She looks at Percy, a boy she's known for less than a month, and sees someone more worthy of her devotion, her emulation; than her mother, than the very gods themselves. and it is his humanity, his love, his loyalty, that she respects, that she wants to embody. He loves so honestly, so freely, and that's something she's never experienced.

Annabeth is so young, but so are all the campers, so deeply entrenched in the doctrine their godly parents give them, "get enough kleos and maybe I will know your name, maybe I will love you. Strive to be ME." and when she needed her mother most, she was punished, for the actions of another. But perhaps that was all it took for little, incredibly smart, so very smart Annabeth to understand that no matter her devotion, her attempts to be godly, her mother would never love her, because her mother barely knew her name let alone valued it enough to love her.

Assumptions

Bailey wears mismatched socks because it reminds her of when her mom would tell her to match her socks

Normally Bailey must have matched socks

But sometimes

Sometimes she wears unmatched socks

Cause her bio dad didn't care about matched socks and her mom would tease him about it, and she remembers how in love her parents still were after years of marriage and four kids later.

And sometimes it's cause her new dad doesn't match his socks. And sometimes he's gone for days at a time, and she starts to feel lonely again.
