anon im not gonna post that one, not bc of anything you said dw, im just not 100% sure if we are thinking of the same person bc i havent been paying attention if the posts i saw all came from the same op, and even tho there's no names in either of our things i still wouldnt feel comfortable spreading that w/o having seen it firsthand. that being said, in the event that we are: jesus fuck???

#i have to wonder if ppl like that actually care abt the media itself at all or if its just a vehicle for discourse to them #like if you dont want to hear opinions different from yours youre free to not talk to the rest of the fandom but you dont get to #demand everyone else drop their interpretations and agree with yours #esp bc theres always like. an implied 'or else' at the end where the punishment is Being Called Transmisogynistic Disingenuously #and its just like . ok and? ur gonna do that anyways #anyways yeah. its wild #im reminded also of something i saw a few months ago‚ im glad it didnt metastisize into full discourse #but essentially i saw a few ppl arguing over like. 'dave kinnies shut up homestuck isnt an inherently transmasc story just #because it cracked a lot of you. its a transfem story period.' and im just there like 👁️👄👁️ hey lets all go outside ! and listen to #some birds!! talk to a friend!!!!#like. it . doesnt have to be one or the other?? it can just. be inherently trans???? or even inherently ambiguously queer in general???#if you are transfem you will see it as inherently transfem because we project ourselves onto art #and vice versa transmascs will see it as inherently transmasc #bc like. gender can be a large part of our identity and a lot of us grew up with homestuck being a large part of our identity so it makes #sense that a lot of people would closely associate the two‚ and in turn why people are extra defensive about it #but its also like. just bc it makes sense doesnt mean its a healthy way of approaching it yknow?#anyways. rant over‚ and again hope you dont mind me not posting the ask itself #origibberish #gibberasks #editing bc i realized i was unclear: i am transmasc not transfem‚ the 'our' in that one tag is referring to Everyone nendjsbf

i think i've decided that bird people who are raptors (like hawks and owls/predators ) have claws you can actually see, Bakugo is a red tailed hawk purebred, no other bird mixes in the family so claws!

#i think what im thinking is some birds people can't mix or it's rare to see mixes like Hawk/Songbird but it is possible #art #bnha wing au #bakugo katsuki #my hero academia #bnha #im talking like your almost never gonna see something like Chicken/penguin so you know what im talking about OR MAYBE YOU WILL IDK #i have to talk to my friend about it #can you tell Bakugo is my favorite in this AU?#lots of interesting thoughts i have

Other people: you know, it is a pretty neat open world multiplayer with simple tasks and not really much to think about

Me, looking at my piles and piles of theories about everything:

#sky children of the light #sky cotl #that sky game #just your average sky player who has been playing this for years vibe #the daily grind for cos? sure sure but have you ever heard about the King? the Mega Bird? do you yearn to know the secret of Eden?#no? can't relate I'm too busy red stringing how all of sky is really just flying above an ocean #inspired by bored and rereading some theory talk w friends

when you, user ihateornithologists, open your dash and completely unexpectedly see a post from the user ornithologist 😦

#IT HAS CONTEXT #'ornithologist' (the username is not even spelled that way but nvm it doesn't matter) is my ex friend #we had some inside joke a million years ago #we called her ornithologist for some reason (idk she used to like some characters who resembled birds in some way??? or sth like that)#(anyway it had nothing to do with ornithology)#and as a joke i always created accounts with usernames like 'ornithologist's greatest enemy' etc #this tumblr acc was made for fun too. like i never even intended to post anything here #lmao #it was ummmm several years ago i think. now we don't even talk to that friend.#idk why we just randomly stopped talking and she unfollowed me everywhere #(well not randomly idk we had some problems but i mean there was no actual conflict)#i dont even care anymore BUT NOW IT MAKES ALL THE USERNAMES THING EVEN FUNNIER #...and then there is rudolf #i didn't even know abt his existence back then but now it makes so much sense #(.......would wilhelm create accounts called 'ornithologist's enemy'--)

mmm essay about sally and kid gort in the tags (cw for child abuse, mentions of suicide, animal cruelty and a murder attempt. i always hope i don’t have to say this but just in case: i don’t excuse or condone any of her or gort’s behaviour at all.) this is literally not even touching upon everything i have to say because i hit the fucking tag limit lmao. NOBODY READ IT’S BAD BRAINSTORMING I JUST NEEDED TO GET IT OUT SOMEHOW

#thinkin too much about gortie side characters again.#sally this time and why she specifically talks about him the way she does #like dravo is obviously still shitty but to me he was. ‘just ‘neglectful #while sally actively hated and even felt terrorised by her own child #like. it’s not like i don’t understand her at all.#imagine you and your love don’t have much besides each other and your shop and you get pregnant and ready to raise a child #only for it to not be a child he didn’t and doesn’t cry ever and he learns everything so much sooner than most but then he never calls you #his parents and it’s not just a petty thing kids do sometimes you feel that he doesn’t see you as family and the worst part is that you #agree deep down #and as he gets older he doesn’t have any friends and actively rejects the notion of the entire concept #but then as time passes you hear about how he has entire groups of children following him and then several of them commit suicide #and that thing coming to sit with you and dravo at the dinner table says that he did what you did last week when the axe to chop wood broke #and you discarded it and got a new one #and he has these habits of ripping out flowers and making sure that they don’t regrow #and then you hear rumours about a friend’s daughter’s cat disappearing and think nothing of it #until you visit his tree house a month later and find a declawed cat and birds with clipped wings and crushed bugs that he keeps fondly #and then you see him with other children and they don’t know and his face is different and body language is entirely different #and were it not for the fact that you know better you would never see anything but a normal child #and you know that you are one who painstakingly brought this thing that should not be into the world and so you decide to end it all one da #and go to him as he’s asleep with the knife shaking in your hand #but he cries when you’re above him! screams at the top of his lungs!#so you beg for forgiveness even though you don’t deserve it through tears but as soon as the knife is put away you see the act drop and fee #his clever fingers having twisted your brain inside and out and you know that you can do nothing #and so the opportunity arises to at least remove him out of your life if not everyone’s lives and you take it immediately.#but you heard him talk. how he will close his fist around the world one day. and you know that it is not a matter of if but when.#like. imagine that. jesus dude.#like i hc her as someone that is messy and does not know a lot about life and she certainly wouldn’t have been a good mother but the love #or at least desire to love is there somewhere. and believing that having a child is really the only somewhat meaningful thing she can do #with her life. she’s not some hero or rich or anything of note. so there’s a lot obligation and not genuine desire for family here.#but she never really got the chance to be an actual mother in the first place so. who knows what that might have looked like

INSULINDIAN PHASMID??!!

#THE FUCK?#I like this game #I’ve had a great time playing it #I have a screenshot of Kim’s glowing performance review #and of the +2 modifier I got for him really trusting me #I also started automatically screenshotting the dialogue I found funny for some reason #it turns out Garte is funny enough that he looks like a main character #real talk though I think Garte might be my favourite character after my brother and best friend Kim #I keep picturing him cleaning my room like the ‘no one helps me in this family’ cat meme #while in the background a concussed Kim who should really be resting #staggeres in through the bathroom to make sure I’m still alive #Sorry cop is sorry for not contributing to this team #sorry cop will play more board games and bring more dead birds until you like sorry cop again #disco elysium #disco elysium spoilers

meeting page 1

all - next

also on deviantart! - also on globalcomix!

I don't know this person well enough to do a shoutout yet, but. I got stuck reading over 100 pages of someone's Gorillaz fan comic yesterday and the artist is SUPERB at storytelling. Super inspired. Then I drew 17 pages in one day.

I feel like a bloody time traveler. I'm uploading several different parts of "gravity" sporadically and impulsively just because I want to show off whatever I work on right away.

I think you'll be able to read it from start to finish one day. But that day is not today.

Don't worry too much about the timeline right now. You just have to know that this is way, WAY in the past. Like...... that comic called Hello takes place in season 6, and this one, Meeting, is like .... season 1 episode 3.

Why didn't I start at season 1 episode 1?

Because I wanted to draw Traebit, and he doesn't appear until episode 3, DUH.

e n j o y

#meetingcomic #page 1 #also .......#i decided to get on and upload some of these #and there's thomas being online at the same time #got a nice surprise for you friend #you talk about having missed things because i uploaded some days ago #i feel the most sorry for bendy who has been offline for ages #i keep tagging him in bird things ..... and the comics......#dude's gonna have 1000 notifications when he comes back xD #cover #comic #creator #traebit #pelor #rq #balance

Yusuf is there when Nicolò enters the old temple, not a vision of him, no portal behind him that will take him somewhere Nicolò cannot follow yet again before he has the chance to reach him, just Yusuf. He's alone, his head tilted upwards and eyes closed, illuminated by the shafts of sunlight that fall through the cracked ceiling. The sight of him - here and safe and whole, finally, after everything Nicolo's fought through to reach him - takes his breath away.

"Nico," Yusuf says, and opens his eyes to look at him. He smiles, and he's still Nicolò’s Yusuf, even after everything that's happened.

Nicolò can't wait another second, then, sheaths his sword at his back and walks up the stone steps towards him. Yusuf's smile widens, and then he's stepping into Nicolò's already open arms, laughing. "I missed you."

"Missed you too," Nicolò says. He kisses Yusuf's temple, holds him close. "So much, Yusuf, you have no idea-"

Yusuf leans back, cupping Nicolò's face in one hand. "I know. It's okay. I'm here."

But Nicolò knows him well enough to know something's wrong. "What is it?"

"It's not over, yet." Yusuf steps out of Nicolò's arms and back a few steps, leaving him cold. "There's so much more you don't know yet, but we're running out of time. He will return, soon, and we're not ready."

"Tell me what I need to do," Nicolò says immediately. He can't bear the idea of Yusuf disappearing again, not now when he's finally here, when every other time Nicolò has tried to reach him he's been a second too late. "Anything, and I'll do it, whatever it is. Just tell me what you need."

Yusuf smiles again, sad. "It's not you, Nico. We need more time. And I can buy it, but-" He cuts himself off.

"Then I'll help you."

Yusuf shakes his head. "You don't understand. For this to work, I need to reform the seal, and I can only do that by" - there are tears in his eyes, now, and dread running down Nicolò's spine - "by sealing myself away along with it."

Nicolò realises just a moment too late what that means. "Yusuf-"

"If I seal myself here, in the past," Yusuf continues, "when you return to our time, it will be just strong enough to hold. You will have the time you need to finish this. And once all this is over, the seal can be broken in our time."

"I can't," Nicolò says. "There has to be another way. This can't be it."

"It's the only choice we have," Yusuf says. "I cannot - this was always my path, Nicolò."

She's manipulating you, Andromache had said, the goddess. She's using Yusuf to make you do what she wants, can't you see? If Nicolò hadn't understood then, he does now - neither of them ever had a choice in this. Yusuf was chosen because Nicolò would follow him anywhere, and Nicolò was chosen for the same reason.

Nicolò realises something else then. "If you seal yourself here, you'll be trapped for thousands of years."

"I'll be asleep," Yusuf says, soft. "It'll be like the blink of an eye. So when this is all over, you'll have to come wake me up." He smiles, then, even through his tears. "Just like old times, no?"

And before Nicolò can say anything else, the air around him begins to glow gold, condensing around Yusuf, who tilts his head back and closes his eyes, and Nicolò cannot move, frozen in place by something beyond his control. All he can do is watch as the light gathers around Yusuf, blindingly bright, until Nicolò cannot see him anymore. Whatever's holding him releases, and he runs towards Yusuf even though the light hurts his eyes, and just as he reaches out the light fades.

Before him is what looks like a crystal, tinged orange, clear enough that he can see Yusuf inside, his eyes closed. He looks like he's just sleeping, like this is one of the mornings Nicolò had had to wake him but had paused for a moment just to watch him.

Nicolò lifts his hand to the crystal. It's freezing cold when he touches it. Yet again, he's too late.

"I'll come back for you," he tells Yusuf, even though he knows Yusuf can't hear him. "I swear it. I'll finish this, and I'll come back for you." His voice is trembling, but he can't let himself break down now, not when there's still work to be done. The faster he finishes his task, the sooner he can wake Yusuf.

(Nile is the first to ask when he returns through the gate, waiting for him with Andy, Quynh and Sebastien nearby. "Where's Yusuf?" she asks, looking behind him - the plan had always been that Nicolò would bring Yusuf back with him, after all.

Nicolò can't bring himself to say it out loud.)

--------------------

It feels like an age before Nicolò returns to the temple, now in the present. It's over, finally - the five of them have sealed the demon king away for good. The others are outside.

The crystal is overgrown with vines, now, just like their old favourite meeting place on the island where all of this had started. Its surface is scratched and clouded with age, but Nicolò can still make out Yusuf inside it, looking exactly as he had when Nicolò left him in the past. He hates to think of the crystal here, alone, for so much time.

There's a glowing mark on the crystal's surface that hadn't been there before. Nicolò approaches it carefully and places his hand over the mark.

Almost immediately, glowing cracks begin to grow from where his hand touches the crystal, spreading across the whole thing until it's glowing as brightly as it had when it was formed, but he can't look away. When the light dies down, Yusuf hovers in the air for just a moment before whatever spell had held him there finally breaks, and he collapses, but Nicolò is there to catch him, sinking to his knees and cradling him close. He doesn't move for a moment, and Nicolò is terrified, because what if something had gone wrong-

Yusuf gasps awake, his eyes fluttering open. He looks around frantically before catching sight of Nicolò above him, who nearly sobs with relief, holding him impossibly closer.

"Nicolò?" Yusuf whispers, his voice hoarse. Nicolò nods, unable to speak just yet, blinking back his tears and brushing Yusuf's curls away from where they've fallen into his eyes.

Then Yusuf asks, "Did I oversleep?" and Nicolò has to laugh even though it comes out sounding more like a sob, kisses his forehead and smiles. "It's over, then?"

"It's over," Nicolò confirms, and then, "I love you."

Yusuf sits up and wraps his arms around Nicolò's neck, buries his face in Nicolò's shoulder and holds on tightly. "I love you too."

(When they return, Nile is the first to them, hugs Yusuf so tightly he laughs, and then it's Sebastien's turn, then Andromache and Quynh both.

They choose to stay on the surface, all six of them. And neither Yusuf or Nicolò are the same people anymore - sometimes Nicolò wakes screaming, sometimes Yusuf gets a distant look in his eyes and it takes a worryingly long time for him to come back to himself. Sometimes there are things Yusuf still can't tell Nicolò, and vice versa.

They make it work, though. They find a quiet place in the woods, far away from the temple and any danger, and they're safe, and happy, and together.

It's all Nicolò's ever wanted, really.)

#neon writes #posting this separately in an attempt to unbury it a little #the old guard #kaysanova #ANYWAY guess whos playing skyward sword. thats right folks this is ANOTHER different zelda au #ive condensed the entire thing into this because im not going to write much else for it #but. the plot:#nicolo and yusuf are childhood rivals-to-friends-to-lovers. at the time when Shit Goes Down they're coming up to the point where they have #to pass a specific test to become soldiers/knights/whatever. the wing ceremony if youre a zelda fan but theyre both participating. anyway #they both win (andromache and quynh are two years ahead of them nile and booker are the year below but they're all like. adults. not 17)#anyway they win and go on some kind of flight around the clouds because the kicker is that this takes place on a sky island and they get #around by riding giant birds i love ss. anyway while they're flying around (victory lap or something) yusuf mentions weird dreams he's been #having. then a giant tornado appears things happen yusuf falls below the cloud barrier separating the land from the sky nicolo is thrown #from his bird. wakes up explains this to andy who is like Well Shit. cue epic quest to find yusuf who has some destiny shit to do #gods and all that. its not important #but theyre trying to defeat an evil demon king before he comes back. merrick with horns can be the visual for that. nicolo spends half of #his time chasing after yusuf who always has to leave before they can talk. maybe quynh isnt with them on sky island and is the one guiding #yusuf instead i dont know anyway eventually nicolo has to do some hero stuff and all that. and this happens when theyre running out of time #as a kind of last resort. but then nicolo nile booker andy quynh defeat The Evil and rescue yusuf and its all good #the plot of this isnt very well thought out. i just thought about that scene with zelda and then about them and had to make this about it #enjoy #the reference to yusuf oversleeping is bc there's a bit in skyward sword abt link always sleeping in and then having to wake zelda and it #causes me 10 psychic damage so i had to adapt it here. that line is the whole reason this fic exists

#on my period and some of my internet friends have said very nice things to me lately so now i'm doing the thing i do #where i sit outside in nature and hear the birds chirping and i want to cry a little #because i've been very sad and depressed at other points in my life #but now i can sit outside and feel the sunshine and talk to the friends in my phone and drink good coffee #and being alive in the world is actually so good sometimes #i'm rotating Mary Oliver poems in my head rn <3 #anyways i have lots of love in my heart and i'm glad i get to share it <3 #honey speaks

i do love analysing media and art and unfortunately this is where i am most confident talking and i am very bad at stuff like: talking normally and like a person fostering relationships in the world with other people

#it is easy for me to go on and on about media and art and themes and i love doing it #and ive had a lot of discussions that live in my head months if not years after the fact because of it #but it is also easy for me to hide behind because anything actually personal and friendly means #i have to be myself if i want it to mean anything and i want to do it but well i do not like myself #and i dont know how to interact with people as a person and not as a thought process. and it is both lonely (for me)#and DEEPLY annoying and offputting (for the other parties)#attempted to start a conversation with a friend id like to know better the other day and im pretty sure #i immediately scared him off by going on about the mechanics of a game and how they tie into the narrative and its good #for paragraphs. its so. UGH!!! UGH!!!!!#i want to connect with people i want to talk to people i want to engage in conversations with people so badly #but this is the only way i know how to do it. im fun if you want a quick and lively discussion about something niche youre interested in #but as soon as thats over...whats left? i dont know where to go after that #after that i am just some guy who is tired and in pain and doesnt draw much these days. looks at birds sometimes. BORING #annoying background character

well, well, well, if it isn't my old nemesis: Dialogue Between Three (3) People
