Aloy, Stressed Bean.

Pt. 2 of commissions. This is SO ALOY. I’M DYING. I LOVE THESE PIECES SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

Drawn by @fumikaandy0.8 on instagram. Again, drawn on her phone. Which is still totally mind blowing for me because the skill??? I can draw a wonky arrow at best. 10/10 would recommend.

No one else will understand this, but I fucking love Rowen in the World Falling series. I loved him during chapter 10, and I love him during chapter 3 of rough road. I literally cried when he hugged Rae. Props to unkipt for making me cry for the 50th time.

I wake up to it every new chapter, and I am so excited for the next chapter!!!

They were just kids. They were KIDS. They were TWENTY-ONE. Their brain wasn’t even fully developed. This is SICK. This is TWISTED. They never got to live for themselves, not bearing the faith of a war on their shoulders. They never got to bicker as an old married couple. They never got to to take their son to the first day of kindergarten. I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE.

Y’all….I’m legit sobbing right now. I’m just casually reading this on my deck outside and this post hit me so hard that I dropped my phone and started crying.

THIS is the entire message of TMNT in a nutshell. This is why I FRIGGIN adore this show, this fandom. They’re brothers your honor. Brothers.

We all have our unique gifts, but at the end of the day we’re not alone. We have all have family, whether blood or by choice. We’re NEVER alone.

Thank you @somerandomdudelmao for showing this and doing so in a way that is heartbreakingly beautiful. I’ve never been so shook by someone’s art and story in a way that this has shattered me (in the best possible way)

Part 12!

Okay. A little insight. I originally wanted to do two separate episodes for Leo and Mikey.

And at the end of his episode, Leo would die alone in the middle of the wasteland. Dramatic, angsty, all that yeah

But then I thought about it many, many more times. Leo was essentially never alone. I used to think of him as such a... kind of... somewhat abandoned and lonely character?, because I've read so many fanfics about him traveling back in time.

But canon Leo was never completely alone. Mikey was there, Mikey was with him until the very end. Mikey and him went all the way to the inevitable defeat together.

This wasn't just Leo who lost everything. It was them. Both of them. Together.

This comic really does things to my brain.

Thinking about Edward Elric as the Amestrian Military's specialest little unfireable boy

State alchemists can be fired for underperforming. We know this up front from the likes of Shou Tucker. And this makes a ton of sense from the homunculi's standpoint since the state alchemists are sacrifice candidates, and the homunculi would want to cull the weakest candidates and focus only on cultivating the strongest ones who stand the best chance of opening the portal.

........Then there's Edward. Who's already opened the portal.

There's no need to cultivate him. No gamble taken on whether he's good enough to open the portal. He passed the final test already. Graduated 4 semesters early.

And as such, has a free pass to do Absolute Fuck All.

And I'm imagining how funny this is from like an outside perspective.

Some newish state alchemist who'd only ever read up on the stories of Edward Elric, ready and excited to start their career of being paid handsomely with endless freedom to research and travel and do anything they want in the pursuit of science... surprised and confused to find themselves put on probation their first month for things like "ignoring orders." Which is, as best they had thought, a famous Edward Elric pastime.

Roy showing a slight bit of stress about his yearly state alchemist report, and Ed just snorting and rolling his eyes at Roy because every year HE just hastily does his on the train ride over (canon in the manga, a travesty it was left out of the anime) and it gets rubber stamped. Ed not realizing that other alchemists' reports get genuinely scrutinized and torn apart while Ed is free to turn in whatever absolute bullshit he thinks of 36 hours ahead of time. One year his report was about whether alchemy could be done via dance (conclusion: no it can't) and no one cared. Roy WANTS to tell Ed there's some kind of unknown favoritism around Ed making him literally bullet-proof but Roy has no way to phrase this that doesn't sound like he's just in denial and mad at how good Ed's train-reports are.

Guy from the Internal Amestrian Affairs sector who's responsible for auditing other internal military personel for any suspicious activity hitting about 1 million red flags for Edward Elric, issuing a STRONG and URGENT recommendation to suspend the alchemist pending further investigation into things like "literal bunk-buddies with two members of the Xingese royalty (enemy nation)" and "spent $10,000,000 of his stipend on a librarian to make her re-copy (what he seemed to interpret as?) military records in some extremely transparent effort to unearth state secrets (it was a recipe book but he was literally asking her about state secrets)" and "literally has never once obeyed an order, ever, not even once in his career, and is on public record having said 'I do not care about the goals and protections of the Amestrian Military. I am in fact only pursuing my own interests several of which are diametrically opposed to the safety and well-being of the governing body of Amestris'"

The issued recommendation is intercepted before it even reaches its intended desk. President Bradley himself has taken issue with it and denies it before a single set of eyes has seen it. The President's veto stamp is a terrifying hammer, used rarely, and it is now sitting on the auditor's desk.

The auditor sleeps with one eye open from then on out.

LINKTOBER Day 16: Lanayru Wetlands

Rumors have it Zora’s Domain is besieged by caustic rains. As travelers leave Lanayru’s capital in troves, two plucky (or foolish) adventurers swim against the muddy tide in hopes to learn more about the unnatural phenomenon.

Anyways, it’s raining mud? What’s up with that.

I'm not even IN THIS FANDOM

but this made me cry I'm not even joking 😃

Too much.

It was too much. Too much, too much, too much.

Keefe battled himself as he looked away from the familiar gold-flecked eyes, the eyes that had stayed with him since the first day he saw them. He couldn’t let himself fall apart here, couldn’t let himself fall apart now, couldn’t let himself fall apart when he had held himself together for so long. He couldn’t be someone that Sophie had to care about, couldn’t be the one responsible for the overwhelming waves of worry and sympathy and something soft and warm that he refused to let his mind translate.

And yet.

His walls were crashing down, crashing crashing crashing like the walls of Ravagog, crashing under a flood and all that showed for it were a few tears that he wouldn’t let spill. And he tried so hard to keep the mask from shattering, but this was new territory, and he would never understand why she had to make it so easy, had to make it so possible for him to let himself show through the façade.

And so when Sophie finally lifted a leather-gloved hand up and cupped his jaw, when she brushed a rebellious tear from his cheek with her thumb, when she whispered, “Keefe,” with a catch in her voice, when she forced him to meet her gaze that held a million different pleas in it, when he looked into those eyes that said you’re safe here, said you can trust me, said it’s okay, he fell apart.

A sob broke through his chest as the weight of all the masks he wore dropped. And then Sophie was pulling him in and his chest was heaving unevenly as he wrapped his arms around her and sobbed into her shoulder and she wrapped her arms around him even tighter, as she saw him, all of him, for the first time, and he knew that she would hate him as soon as he let her leave, because nobody had ever seen him and still loved him, but for now he let himself shatter as he heard the sound of her repeating a single phrase into his ear over and over: I’m here.

He felt it in the way Sophie gently slid both of them to the floor so he could sit, felt it in the way she kept one hand wrapped around the back of his head, soothingly running her fingers through his hair, felt it in the way she clung to him like she needed him just as much as he needed her, as if he weren’t the moon orbiting his earth anymore but they were both planets orbiting each other, inevitably set for a collision course but not caring anymore. He felt it in the way she whispered I’m here over and over as if she knew that she was the only thing keeping him from running away from it all. He felt it. He felt that she knew.

And he didn’t know what terrified him more: the fact that she saw him, or the fact that he wasn’t as scared of that as he should have been.

And of course Sophie had to prove how terrified he should be, prove how well she could read him by pulling away by inches to make him look at her and lie to him, “Keefe, listen to me. Do you hear me? I could never hate you.”

His lips twisted into the shadowed hint of an ironic smile. He wished he could believe her, because oh, wouldn’t it be strange to imagine someone seeing him and staying not in spite of him, but because of him. But everyone left every time they saw him, and of course she wouldn’t be the exception.

Too much.

It was too much, too much, too much, and he had just destroyed it all, sent it all crashing to the ground, made the same mistake he had been trying to run from for years, and it was so terrifying but he couldn’t make himself care anymore.
