Thinking about Robin and Sunday's halos.

About how Robin's halo isn't a closed circle, but more like a branch forming a circular shape, where the start and stem don't touch. It's also uneven in shape and splits into three flowers, like it's allowed to grow freely, unobstructed. Something about Robin having left Penacony and having escaped the confines of her cage, being able to flourish. About her being able to let people in, and connect to them.

Meanwhile Sunday stayed behind to be the head of the Oak family and conform to the strict role that's expected of him, and his halo is a perfectly symmetrical shape that's practically fully closed off. It's sharp, almost more like a crown of thorns than a halo. And it almost doesn't have any openings to let anything, or anyone, in easily. It actively discourages getting close to it.

And then if you want to get sappy about, which I will - Sunday doesn't let anyone in, with that almost completely sealed, thorny halo of his... But there's an opening in Robin's halo, and so it can fit around Sunday's. Something about him always being able to find solace in her, because there's room for him in her (halo) heart always, by design.

Anyway I'm not normal about them.

I know "I'm not bad anymore" is an instant classic, but I'll tell you, "meow" has got to be the highlight of the whole episode for me. I love it when Brennan uses "and you see" to set up a single word of dialogue.

Food for thought

YOU should yap about NICO and anger!! what does anger look and feel like for him? what sets him off? how does his anger change and shift over the years? how does he cope with anger?

Anger seizes Nico around his neck, gripping tighter and tighter (like a noose), traveling up from his chest to the back of his head. His chest, where it should be inflamed--and indeed it sometimes is--often rests cold and still, a hard knot in the place where his heart should be. Emotions otherwise bound up tight to prevent the rest from leaking out, only allowing the anger to escape. And as that anger travels up his neck, it sets fire to the back of his mind, clouding his thoughts with smoke so only the anger remains, giving him new energy that he wouldn't otherwise have. Sometimes the only energy and drive he has.

His teeth grit together, lips pulled back in a feral snarl, a dark light dances in his eyes. A dare, a promise, for what might to come if his anger is further tested. Shoulders are stiff, bound up in the same tension as his neck, but more ready to spring, more ready to fight. When Nico is at the peak of his anger, it's all he can do to restrain himself.

( When his anger is calmer, the cold knot in his chest still ensures its presence, but it sharpens his words instead of his blade. A cold, sardonic cut to everything he says, tempered marginally by time and patience. )

Nico's anger stems from the source of feeling wronged, of an injustice being carried out either to himself or to those he cares about. He feels broken promises deeply, again either given explicitly by someone he (previously) trusted, or implied by how a system is supposed to function. And his anger is only further fueled by harm coming from said broken promises. Nico's anger carries a holy element, a winnowing away of what is wrong in the world out of the desire to make it a better place to live. But a pride also lurks as an additional fuel for the fire-- he believes in his version of justice, his version of right and wrong, making it harder to see other perspectives on a situation.

But his anger tempers slowly over time, becoming less volatile as he himself begins to heal. The places where he's broken continue to mend and the cold, stillness in his chest begins to crack. He allows himself to feel more emotions, to be worthy of those emotions, and thus the anger has less grounds to present itself. It does sometimes flare hot, but not as hot as before, and it is usually more targeted.

Nico still feels a lot of his anger his justified, and he still needs to work on holding grudges, but he has gotten better at seeing more perspectives, understanding others from where they're coming from. Because of this, his anger doesn't come up as much, and when it does, it doesn't quite consume him anymore.

I created an AU with these two and friends fully supported it, now I'm making it your problem with low quality doodles :')

tl;dr, Jason (my lil miqo'te over there) escaped to Coerthas during his backstory, ended up near Camp Dragonhead while half dead. This is what happens when a terrified miqo meets a sunshine incarnate elezen. Thankfully the man had been warned that Jason had indeed already bit one of his pursuers, and then an Aevis to save one of his men-

It took a bit of convincing (and offering of an arm to be bitten on if Jason got startled) but they got the cat from under the bed for medical check up eventually :')

Don't mind me, I'll just be taking this whole side story for Jordan's lore...

can i just say. i love how almost all of your she/her ocs are amab and have facial hair. like hell yeah!!!! appearance =/= gender!!! this is a compliment

thank you! its really important to me to draw more ocs that are visibly trans, being a trans man that doesn't pass as masc at all and won't for a while lol. drawing characters that aren't visibly transitioned, or characters that don't want to visibly transition, is a very big thing for me, so i'm glad that you like it :-]

I just saw the post on the alt codes you memorized and got so excited bc you are the first other person I heard of who also memorized alt codes! For me, it’s bc I started learning Old Babylonian and there is no keyboard with all the diacritics I needed to transcribe them, so I decided it would be the easiest to make myself an additional vocabulary deck to learn the alt codes (that I needed to create my Babylonian vocabulary deck). How have you memorized your alt codes?

omg that is awesome. i have so many questions for you. what are the babylonian alt codes??? or did you add them yourself? (can you add new alt codes? seems like you should be able to, since it's possible to add keyboard shortcuts, and alt codes are really just a type of keyboard shortcut.) i can see that cuneiform signs are in unicode but i can't find any alt code lists that include them. or are you transliterating babylonian into the latin alphabet with diacritics?

another question did you memorize codes for every single one because holy shit there's like hundreds of cuneiform signs according to wikipedia???? that's wild. i can see why you would need flash cards! me i only know probably fewer than 20 total and i just learned them over the course of several years as they became necessary. it's very hard to write a french sentence without é è à and ç, so i'm sure i learned those first, plus ù which is in one very common word that means something totally different if you leave off the accent (où/ou), then probably i had to learn ê â ô and î. but actually you can get pretty far avoiding the other accented letters in french, so i might have been in college before i learned the rest of them lol. somewhere in there i learned the spanish accented letters, but those are mostly right next to each other and there aren't very many of them, so that was easy. i never learned the capitalized accented letters because it's acceptable in french to leave accents off in uppercase (except the cédille, which i know is somewhere in the 120s so i can get there eventually if necessary). initially i look up the number but then over time it gets encoded into muscle memory as i keep using the letter organically in sentences.

most importantly though: how is the old babylonian is it fun it sounds fun

@everlastiingiimmortals replied to your post “"Y'know.. Throughout all my Trailblazing, maybe I...”:

IM CRYING THE FACT THAT ZHU YUAN IS THE /OTHER/ ZZZ MUSE IVE BEEN CONSIDERING BC SHES SIMILAR TO ONE OF MY OCS

Willow let me know the ground zero day where this decision is materialized.

I'll write you the most unnecessarily detailed starter without question. This is naturally to get Caelus acclimated to New Eridu's climate, seeing how the Hollows are a tricky locale and he'll need all the help-- Continuesyapping.

Hi, coming to join in the conversation about IVs hands. I have-ahem- ✨slightly✨ more feral thoughts about them. I think they’d make lovely necklaces….or bracelets.

Yep.

Anyways….BYE

Rest assured, @polteergeistt left *maths* 17 more of those in my ask box, which I will be continuing to go thru, I just needed to break to work/pack 😂😂

HAVING SAID THAT with those 17 other asks, it will indeed get a little more feral up in here, and we will get into #thots-i-have territory!

But to YOUR point, he does have VERY nice hands that would make WONDERFUL jewelry of any kind, god it’s so true. They’re just so big and strong and…yeaaaaaah 🥰

(breaks down your door, out of breath) between spain and silverstone, the ferrari logo embroidery on the chair changes color... could it be?? it's a completely different chair? then who has version one? where is she?!

Oh my god stop it I think you're right 😭😭😭

This is the back of the chair from Pre-Silverstone:

And then this is the back of the chair from Silverstone onwards:

I'm sorry, but it is unbelievably funny if they not only added the booster seat but ALSO made sure to give it silver embroidery too 😭

Like cmon they had to have at least some meeting about this:

"Here are my complaints, 1. Not comfortable enough, I have to slump to get my feet on the ground, you need to add somewhere to rest my feet" "got it, booster seat ordered and shipped" , "2. ...it is not fitting the Ferrari aesthetic enough, you must make that horse more flamboyant and beautiful!"

My theory: Fernando complained about the chair in order to get a new one so he could then kidnap the original chair to his house <3
