MMMMMMMMM GOOD THINGS ARE BEING SAID.

Martin consistently stutters, consistently allows himself to build up to a point where his frustrations have nowhere to go other than an abrupt spurt of anger that can almost seem out of character to him in the beginning but are, in fact, intrinsically linked to who he is as a person. He sidesteps his own comfort in favour of others' and expresses his feelings in providing for those he cares about. Simple gestures, like a cup of tea. And later (avoiding spoilers) Bigger Gestures.

Martin has convinced himself he does not matter and attempts to make himself small as a result. Be kind, be gentle and offer comfort to those around him in an attempt to convince them to let him stay. Historically he's been an emotional punching bag for others. His mother, then Jon- you can assume later Lukas too (though in a very different manner).

It's not until much later he starts expressing himself in more honest ways (i.e. post Lonely). He admits his faults and asks for things. Allows his anger and frustration to bubble up organically. Isn't as afraid to express these things as now he's confidant he won't be left in the dirt as a result of taking up space. "I am Martin Blackwood and I am not lonely anymore."

English tea is the most inoffensive thing to offer someone as a source of comfort. The smallest and most effective way to provide in a workspace that he has very little idea to what he's doing in thanks to fudging the records to get in in the first place. The mugs may as well have "Please keep me, I'm helping, see?" written on them. So yes. Yes and Thank you.

“it’s just a warmup sketch,” i say to myself. “i’m just gonna warm up on shading and coloring. i’m just warming up on anatomy.” my spine crackles from sitting in shrimp stance for 2 hours. “just to warm up.”

A shade of brown with a cool tone is elegant and sophisticated.

I'm not worried at all about the crew not forgiving Ed tbh

They tried to mutiny Stede, Ed and Izzy almost killed him, they almost killed Izzy, Buttons wanted to eat Lucius and the Swede, Roach too, they tried to kill Ed, etc

what is a family if not a group of people who sometimes try to murder one another

Underrated Zuko moment is him making tea for iroh after he was knocked out and tentatively goes "I hope I made it the way you like it" 🥹🥹

i was today years old when i discovered that kazami said "mattaku" as an interjection, to furuya's face and about furuya, in zero's tea time, ch. 51. in hiragana "まったく........."

not in the context of work, but in response to furuya suggesting that he may have overfed haro (which he didn't):

K: "You're saying that I'm spoiling your doggy when I take care of him!? I've only fed him the quantities that you've told me to feed him!" K: "Am I not being trusted? mattaku (sheesh)......" F: "Yeah, you're right, I'm sorry...It's just that if it isn't you, then all I can think of is that my dog (uchi no inu) is eating something of his own accord..."

the version i'd read had translated it to "come on!" but "mattaku....." with the ellipses, somehow does me in ..... there's a soft annoyance, or frustration at the idea of furuya's accusation. he still speaks formally to furuya here (...-imasen, shinyou shitenai n desu ka? etc), but it's so. idk, he can now express his frustration, he can mutter a complaint about how furuya is treating him (complete with "!?" and "!" punctuation), and the way furuya immediately apologizes hnng, and all of this is about furuya's DOGGO ...the dynamic's so domestic.....
