sending zayn so much love and strength and hugs for having such a good start to the tour. i truly can not fathom what he must be going through rn because. he hasn't been on stage in nearly a decade now and he has spoken about the anxiety surrounding performing and for him to finally find a space where he can pace through live performances at his own level makes me feel so immensely proud of him. the last time he was on stage, he had four others backing him, supporting him and helping soothe his anxiety. and now one of them is gone. and like. it took him around eight years to be able to look back at his time in 1d fondly, to be able to embrace the band days and get nostalgic about the songs he made as part of the band. and now two days ago he was there when they buried liam. and to go through such monumental change and to still power through and perform. god he truly is one of the strongest people ever. i am always proud of him and he will always be such a shining star in our lives

I’ve got a story that’ll make you percabeth girlies go feral:

My closest friend has an anxious/avoidant attachment style. So constant fear that people don’t really love her. I once asked her if she ever doubted that I cared about her. Her response?

“No, you’ve always been so open and aggressive in expressing your love that I can never doubt it.” 🥹

& that’s how I see Annabeth & Percy’s friendship going. Congrats to Annabeth for making a friend that’ll love you unconditionally, warts and all, you deserve it.

AN INSPIRED DECLARATION, BARDIC COLLEGE OF FOCHLUCAN. I honestly thought my time as an artist had come to an end and all hope for further inspiration was gone. I come from months of fruitless research and abandoned music sheets, any spark of creativity flickering and dying by the time my fingers touched the strings. I was lost and couldn't find my way back home when suddenly, destiny came knocking at my door. Quite literally, I may add. I went to stay at my aunt's cottage outside of the city to see if some peace and quite would do my muse any good and I had the fortuitous chance of offering shelter to a group of weary travelers. They surely were a lively bunch and while I had fun entertaining guests after such a long time spent alone, Tymora's gentle hand came to save me under the guise of a young couple of most curious nature. A tiefling and a devil, by all means a nightmarish union if you were to give the rumors any credits and yet. They spent the night sitting quietly next to each other, letting the others take turns in keeping the conversation alive. I didn't mean to pry but I was mesmerized by the softness of their touches, the tenderness of their gaze. At some point during the night, the young man drifted off to sleep leaning against the girl's shoulder, she raised a hand to caress his scarred face with such unmistakable devotion it almost moved me to tears. It reminded me why I started composing in the first place: to wonder about the nature of simple things like love and companionship. If I ever see them again, I hope they'll know this song is for them.

Finally got enough energy to talk about Furina's SQ and while I loved her and the troupe, MC and Paimon were .... Not Great. I talked about this with friends but in Paimon's case especially, the way they interact with Furina feels like people who just don't understand trauma and depression and then engage with someone suffering from both in all the wrong ways.

Talking about how much of a downgrade her house is from the opera house, making fun of how she can't cook, pushing her to act when she's set a very clear boundary and then guilt tripping her after she's stuck to her guns, shaming her for not being able to fight well (Paimon literally talks about how second hand embarrassment is overwhelming and I'm just like ?????), telling her she's "not acting like herself" when she attempts to open up and be vulnerable....it's just really rough. That and the MC asking "is something wrong" when Furina gets sad over Poission ..like bro people died and she couldn't save them and she's tearing herself apart over it. Those people are never coming back and you know it and you have the gall to ask her is something wrong??? Of COURSE there is!!

It just feels especially odd because we literally get to see all of Furina's suffering and Paimon in particular is. SO mean? Like she was more understanding with Wanderer and Ei and THEY'VE tried to kill us multiple times!! I don't get it, and honestly I'm very proud of Furina for refusing to waver. Let her rest!! She's tired and depressed and she needs time to heal; and honestly fuck Paimon for trying to make her feel bad. Furina's worked harder than she EVER will.

something so beautiful to me (who treats concerts like a full time job and who has met every single important friend in my life through shows) in hearing julien say she can’t stop touring because giving people who love her music a reason to hang out and share a car ride together and talk about their lives is important to her and reminds her that her job isn’t stupid 🥹 i think if she knew the entire culture around traveling to shows and the way we come together in fandoms and share hotel rooms or let people crash on our floor and jump in our car to the next city and spend hours in line talking to each other about every topic under the sun and give each other book recs and share snacks and meet new people in line and become lifelong friends….well. i think she’d cry honestly.

THIS IS SO COOL????? MARIE REALLY IS THEEEEEE MOST POWERFUL SUPERHERO YOU GUYS I LOVE HER

I really like your Cheated Design. I'm not sure if you or anyone talked about them that much but I would love to hear some ramble or some doodles of him (if you want to. it's totally fine). Love the idea of him being a broken ragdoll

Awwwww, thanks!! Recently messed with his design a bit to look more distinct and more like a 'broken ragdoll' as you put it lol. Not sure if it'll be an official redesign, still kinda playing with his shapes, but ye

I already had the idea of him having a 'detacheable arm', but might as well go all in and just make him even more frankeinstein'ed lol. I imagine his blood is really fucked, and it just kinda closes off any wound he might have immediately, including cut limbs. A sorta auto-healing that makes him look more fucked up the more it happens.

Because of that, Cheated learned not to get to attached to her own appearance, to avoid both low self-esteem and dysphoria (she's a boygirl thing, to me). And it works! For the most part. He's more focused on being a good and decent person through her actions and how he treats others than looking 'appealing' or conventionally pretty. The people that matter won't care about something like this anyway.

Idk why but seeing Uma again in the teaser made me sad 😭

She’s gonna be all alone! She won’t have her boys with her!

frfr, i know China only has a small part(her words), so Uma being in Ror is more of a 'passing of the torch' than anything else, but her boys arent there!!!! istg if there ain't a ring on Uma's left ring finger imma riot because if fucking Mal and Ben can get married after....1-4 years(timelines fucked up), Harry can damn well propose to Uma at the very least since they've been practically dating sine they met(at least in harrys brain lol) i bet the boys, Thomas and Dylan, were asked-but they most likely said no, Thomas being busy with...everything and Dylan has his own life of course, i bet all the of OG cast were asked if they'd like to return and depending on who said yes or no, the script was written around that-i can EASILY bet if D*ve wanted to be involved, she would've, but she doesn't want to act as Mal anymore and honestly whatevs, good for her, its been high time this series ended and it should've ended with D3, much less the royal wedding which wasnt necessary.

Minor Ladies Month - Beyhan Sultan × Quote

My mourning is over, sure, time has swept it away. But the heart can't forget some things, the heart can't forget even if you want to. I still do not have a husband, my children still don't have a father. Sometimes, they ask me "Why did our father die? Who killed him?". I become speechless, your majesty, I can not say a word. I can not say that my brother killed him.

got my first tattoo ever yesterday 😄

I've thought for a long time that I either have an exceptionally good pain tolerance or incredibly bad. my new theory is that I feel pain very intensely but I tolerate it well anyway?

but yes in case it's not obvious: the three symbols represent Laura Bailey's characters in the three main campaigns of critical role! blue arrow for vex (beloved), pink lollipop for jester (beloved), and purple lightning for imogen (beloved)

redesign of my jedi oc calla! (here is her master also) drawing heavy inspiration from the persian qajar dynasty for her design. some more details and notes below.

hands are dipped in henna. this can be seen in a lot of artwork from this time period. here's an example.

the same example shows some makeup between the subject's eyebrows. since calla is kiffar, i decided that this mark would be her clan tattoo!

i also made sure to give calla a unibrow. you can also see this in a lot of paintings from this period - it appeared to be fashionable to have a rather full unibrow. here are some more examples.

for her outfit i was heavily inspired by this image! i imagine that this might be what she would wear before the clone wars. i have ideas about how her clothing would change once she became a general. i would love to one day also draw her in some traditional dance clothing :)

also last tidbit is the hilt of her sabers are designed to mimic traditional Persian swords (shamshir)!
