Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
I love Star Trek cause you’ll see a screen shot with no context and think “this is homosexual activity” and then with context it’s somehow even more gay. They somehow beat themselves at their own game every time
i’m drawing icarus and apollo waltzing for my illustration class and my professor told me to make the dip more dramatic because “the sun god should not support icarus in his fall” like you fool. you absolute buffoon. you think apollo didn’t support icarus? you think apollo didn’t shine down on icarus every day, even in that accursed tower, offering him what little warmth could be found in such a prison? you think daedalus would’ve founded a temple to the sun god if he was malicious in his compliance in icarus’ death? icarus wouldn’t have flown so close if the sun wasn’t so welcoming, so loving, so captivating. if the sun was cold and uncaring, icarus would not have burned. it was not apollo’s fault icarus fell. he could not curb his warmth, just like how icarus could not curb his curiosity. apollo loved icarus as much as icarus loved him, and that is why their story is so tragic. apollo was not a malicious force in icarus’ death, the fates were, and that was out of both of their controls. do not slander his name like this.
Do u draw really fast or are all these byler/will/st character posts like planned/spread out? Either way you are feeding us showstopper art and it has me kicking my feet
i was rewatching clips of them from mk1’s story mode (regular saturday night activities) and i thought of something when i got to this scene in particular.
johnny’s returning sento to kenshi, who refuses at first, but then johnny insists and says, “you saved my life. it’s yours.”
i know he’s talking about sento specifically, but he’s looking at kenshi so intently when he says this. he’s looking because he doesn’t have to hide his quiet longing for kenshi, who can’t see it at this moment— which has me thinking that maybe when johnny says “it’s yours” he’s also unintentionally talking about his own life. that deep down, johnny believes that the sword and his own life both belong to kenshi.
which makes me want to launch myself off the nearest mountain range. just a bit. i’m probably reading into it and the phrasing could be read just the regular way when u add context, but i can’t see it any other way anymore….
if you watch the clip you can see johnny’s gaze softens slightly right after he says it and like. like i know i’m quite literally grasping at straws rn but nrs when i catch you nrs. When i fucking catch you nrs
I think during 3rd Life, Ren would ask Martyn to braid his hair. For technical purposes, it's practical for battle and gets the hair out of his face. But really, Ren just wanted an excuse to be close and domestic with him. Martyn always tried his best, but he was used to having short hair and his hands shook too much. Ren would laugh it off and redo it on his own. Martyn never quite figured out how to make a good braid, not even at the end.
When Last Life came around, Martyn wasn't with Ren. And that was fine. Truly, who expected alliances made for war to last in a temporary peace? It made sense, and Martyn was off with the Southernlands. But every now and then, when he'd pass by Ren or spot him in the distance, he couldn't help but feel jealous. He always had a long, perfect braid, probably made by Lizzie, or Cleo, or Bigb. They did something Martyn never quite figured out how to do; be domestic with him. So he practiced on himself. His hair was grown out long enough that he could try to make a small braid by the front of his face if he tried, and while it was never good, it was better than he was before. He'd always take it out before anyone saw it, even when he reunited with Ren. He couldn't let anyone know he was still thinking about 3rd life, that was a weakness he wouldn't let anyone see. And when they died, Ren died with a messy braid he made by himself, and Martyn died hoping that Ren would make it.
Double Life started and he didn't see Ren. Martyn was bound to Cleo which didn't go well. But he was fine on his own, Martyn was a survivor if nothing else. Ren was bound to Bigb, and they functioned well as a pair, Martyn knew that Ren would be taken care of. Even when Bigb broke his heart, and for a moment Martyn was with Ren again, he knew Ren was better off with him than he was with Martyn. He mentioned Ren's perfect braids once. He said he didn't think Bigb knew the first thing about long hair, and Ren laughed and said he didn't, but he was trying and his attempts were better than Martyn's. Martyn laughed along and agreed that he was terrible at braiding, but he couldn't stamp out the fiery jealousy that rose from that statement. Martyn didn't get to prove Ren wrong as they had been taken out early, and he had many days without him to go.
Ren wasn't there for Limited Life. Martyn hadn't been that close with Ren in the last few series, not as close as he'd like anyway, but his absence still stung. He couldn't catch glimpses of Ren when he was wandering, nor could he visit his base and make snide little jokes about it. For the first time, Ren wasn't there at all. That didn't stop him from influencing Martyn. It was a braid, messy and small in Martyn's still short hair. Then he was thinking about Ren too much, clear to anyone when his jokes seemed to reference him more often than not. And then when he turned red, a Dogwarts flag was tied around his waist. This was the first season since 3rd Life that Martyn had thought about Ren this much. And when he won, standing with hours still on his timer and no one left but bodies, Martyn, braid in his hair, couldn't help but think how much he wanted Ren to be here to see it.
