LEON YOUR EYEBALLS

[everywaythatmatters]

Redraw of that one Arcane shot but make it Fitz and Beloved reuniting in the Wolf

(bc sometimes you and your best friend/partner/soulmate have to gently press your foreheads together, his silver fingerprints still blazing on your skin, as you assure him that you love him through life and into death and that you’re only whole when you’re with him as you merge your souls together, a complete being at long last, and explode into a brilliant flash of light) (you know) (as one does)

#ok it’s giving girl dad wearing his daughter’s handmade necklace special for him into work 🥺🥺😩😩

couldn’t stop thinking about this tag of mine, wrote a little smth about it 🥰

The stomping footfalls racing down the hall behind him could only be those of a toddler. Daniel turns and squats just in time for his tiny blonde projectile of a child to come barreling into his chest. The force sends Daniel falling back onto his butt with a surprised oof, his daughter giggling delightedly in his lap.

“Hey, Ellie-bug,” Daniel smiles. “Daddy’s gotta go to work, remember how we talked about it and you promised to be a big girl?” He brushes a strand of hair away from her mouth where it’s gotten stuck in a little smear of jam leftover from her breakfast. Daniel had shown Max how to make it just the way she likes—the pancake batter shaped in the silicone star mold, the silly faces drawn in jelly and jam.

Ellie’s head bobs up and down dutifully, but she makes no move to get up.

Max appears from the kitchen then, looking like a man who’s been fighting a losing battle with the second pancake. There’s a splatter of thick batter on his white t-shirt. He’s holding the spatula like it’s offended him somehow. Daniel looks at him over their daughter’s head, and loves him fiercely.

“She is of course the biggest girl,” Max says. Ellie grins proudly. “Why don’t you give Daddy your present now, then we will finish your pancakes.”

Daniel watches her grey-blue eyes light up like she’s just now remembering why she came running at him in the first place. She reaches a chubby hand into the bib pocket on her overalls, embroidered Enchanté script stretching as she roots around and produces a string of brightly-colored plastic beads. She holds it out to him expectantly.

Daniel takes the strand delicately in hand, wraps it around the backs of his fingers and rotates his wrist to get a good look. It’s a necklace, probably more of a choker given its relatively small circumference, the fat pony beads the only real indication it was made by a child. The powder pink and fuchsia beads are separated by interspersed pearlescent white orbs and clear sparkly stars. Smack in the center is a single number bead, a glittery pink three.

“Jeepers, did you make this for me? It’s beautiful!” Daniel says, and means it. He’s already been wanting to talk to his team about adding a jewelry collection to a future drop, and what better inspiration?

Ellie nods excitedly. “Papa helped me do a…,” she pauses, squints and tilts her little head, searching for the word, “…a pattern!”

“We made it the other day, while you were out with Blake,” Max chimes in. “For good luck.” He sounds almost bashful, like maybe it wasn’t their daughter’s idea in the first place. Daniel’s heart is so swollen it’s threatening to leak out through the gaps in his ribcage.

“How’d I get so lucky, huh?” Daniel muses, softly, mostly to himself. He stretches the elastic over his head, feels the smooth plastic three settle in the hollow of his throat. His pulse thrums evenly against it, grounding.

He flashes his biggest smile at his family. “How do I look?”

“Pretty, Daddy!” Ellie throws herself forward again, wrapping her arms around Daniel’s neck. It leaves him locking eyes with Max, who’s gazing down at the two of them like nothing else in the universe exists. Daniel can never quite get used to that look—still feels butterflies dancing up the back of his throat, his stomach dropped into a glorious freefall.

“Beautiful, Daniel,” Max says, reverent. “Always.”

surely there is balance to be found between acknowledgement of harmful amatonormativity and the fact that stories with no romance are worth telling and that not everyone needs to date or have sex or get married and recognition that romance is a historically derided genre specifically because of its association with women and an understanding that romance is as capable of literary merit as any other genre. surely you can have both

Please don't hit me with a slipper, but your OC reminds me of this guy:

at this point I feel like I'm just making edits out of spite.

I just made an ichisae amv/edit and I wasn't expecting to make it before making my chitose edit LOL

the only reason I made it was because after finishing infinite wealth, I was like "wow I'm sure glad I haven't seen too many people share negative opinions on saeko in infinite wealth" then I hopped on to twitter and saw a whole thread of people saying how IW "ruined her character" and "she would never do that" etc etc

My interpretation of saeko's character is that she's very hyper-independent and has an avoidant attachment style. She very much has the vibe of "eldest daughter (ik she's a twin) who is sick of their family and leaves home for their own mental health and wellbeing but will still take care of their family from afar with boundaries". It made complete sense to me that she would react the way she did with Ichiban— from walking away after he asked her out, and only answering on the phone, to saying they should remain friends and then ghosting him while feeling torn about entire situation.

She cares but she is bad at processing and facing her emotions in intense situations with people she cares about. She literally avoided her own sister and father while trying to do everything in her power to save them with the help of Ichigang in the previous game. How is this any different from her avoiding Ichiban?

It's completely valid to dislike a character for any reason. You can also dislike the actions of someone with an avoidant attachment style. Being non-confrontational is not super beneficial for interpersonal relationships, and your attachment style is not an excuse to treat people poorly or disregard the impact of your actions.

But just because a character is written with characteristics you don't like, does not mean they are necessarily poorly written.

Personally, I really don't think the way she was written in Infinite Wealth was betraying her previous portrayal in Like a Dragon (Y7). If anything, it just reinforced it, but in the context of a different situation.
