this golden boy wasn't even real, "...he could've been—if i let him."

hellblazer (1988) / josé saramago, cain / ira glass, this american life, "251: brother's keeper" / user nathanielorion, "הבל | hevel" / fatima aamer bilal, excerpt from moony moonless sky’s ‘i am tired of making a religion out of my suffering’ / unknown / hera lindsay bird, "mirror traps" / clive barker, the hellbound heart

I really wish Dana actually had a full 21 episode s3 because there was so much potential for Hunter as a villain and we didn't get enough of the golden guard.

Like the ending of Any Sport In A Storm was fucking hilarious, the Golden Guard, Right Hand Man of the Emperor just played a game of highschool (american) football with some local kids and smoked the other team. I want that premise so many times over, like Zuko Hunter had 6 episodes and all of S3 and made a cameo in one as like someone who gets texted.

I WANT MORE GOLDEN GUARD, WRITE THOSE FILLER EPISODES AS FANFICS!!!

weird how many of my fav characters are dudes that have either a twin or a clone and at least one of them always ends up becoming (or are supposed to become) some kind of messiah..

Me doing some rough theory-crafting on the fate of the council at the end of Episode 9:

Okay, so a more detailed summary of how I think it’s going to go down:

The question of who in the council lives and dies is more of a writing question really.

Mel can’t have this huge shield that saves everyone because that would make the whole build up and emotion behind episode 9 and Jinx’s decision to fire the rocket pointless.

I’m inclined to believe Mel, Jayce and Viktor will come out of this alive simply because their storylines don’t seem to be finished yet.

Meanwhile, there isn’t any reason to keep the rest of the councillors alive for season 2. Piltover and Zaun are still headed for war, there are people in Noxus who are still after Piltover and its resources and the council don’t really add anything else to the story. Especially as they were largely powerless at the end of season 1. It would be fitting if we see Piltover heading towards a succession crisis just as Zaun has one with the death of Silco.

I think Cassandra is done for. Caitlyn needs a personal stake in her conflict with Jinx and there needs to be a motivation for her to really push back on her pacifist approach to fighting against enemies. Cassandra dying gives more of a personal stake to Vi in having to find Jinx and have her answer for her crimes. Vi was never going to care about some random rich Piltover councillors, but Caitlyn’s mother? that changes things. I think the “no one else needs to get hurt” in the season 2 teaser is both a reference to Cassandra’s death and Caitlyn’s grief surrounding it.

I  think it’s possible that where Jayce and Mel come out fine, Viktor ends up wounded. Having that near death experience makes him rethink his momentary acceptance of his mortality at the end of season 1. Dealing with his injuries might be what leads him to going back to experimenting with the Hextech core. It’s possible that his body get destroyed enough by the explosion that he ends up needing mechanical prosthetics, bringing him closer to becoming the machine herald. 

(Watch me put all this thought into it, and then season 2 comes along and they all just fucking die 🤡)

Was doing some contributions over on League of Comic Geeks and if you search up John Constantine, the golden boy appears because he’s listed as one of his aliases. (Since the golden boy’s name is John Constantine when he survives)

And it gave me a bitter sweet feeling ngl.

The cultural heritage has been restored. After over half a century, the United States has returned "the Golden Boy" to Thailand. A 900-year-old statue was smuggled out of Thailand by a notorious art dealer, Douglas Latchford, who's running an antiquities trafficking network in Southeast Asia, and spending decades in the possession of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. "The Golden Boy" has a twin statue, visitors can now admire both of them at the National Museum Bangkok.

Martin Hart

- He/Him

- 31 years old (August 8th)

- 5’9” (180cm)

- Gay, though extremely closeted

- Cis

Homestead owner, homebody, cowboy.

Patient and mellow, friendly and easy to get along with, independent to a fault.

Growing up Martin was the youngest of three boys. He was a small kid and as such his father always thought him to be less than his brothers. He's always been at the mercy of his father and brothers’ bullying.

He's always cared a lot about his appearance and his clothes, which in a small farming town is something that gets noticed. As a result he got singled out at school and picked on mercilessly.

He grows up thinking there is something wrong with him, setting him up for a lifetime of insecurity and a hefty dose of internalised homophobia.

He moves out at seventeen and cuts off contact with his family, after they inevitably find out he's queer.

At eighteen he gets into a motorcycle accident, landing him in the hospital for a long time.

After his accident he’s taken in by the only family member he’s stayed in touch with, his uncle Joel.

Once he’s well enough to be discharged he moves in with his uncle at his small farm outside of town. There he gets a chance to recover and regain some of his independence, though it’s no short process.

Not long after Martin has mostly gotten back on his feet, his uncle suddenly passes away, leaving the farm to Martin.

Martin strives to maintain his independence in any way he can. He grows a lot of his own produce, keeps a small flock of chickens, a dairy cow and a small herd of cattle. All in an effort to avoid leaning too hard on anyone else.

That’s what he does for the next 11 years, content to live a peaceful life at his own pace and at his own terms, surrounded by his animals.

Until he meets the barely contained chaos that is Noah Powell, who teaches him a few things about letting loose a little once in a while.

The height was nauseatingly far.

Oh, but what a height it was to fall from.

When he plummeted, he felt the wind whistle past his damaged ears. It was frightening, but in a way, exhilarating. He was in control here. He made this choice.

And when his body impacted the water, he screamed, water threatening to flood his lungs before the pain took him first. But he fought, he struggled. He was going to live, and if he had to, he was going to make it everyone’s problem.

He was going to fight and show the world he at least was worth something. He was worth something. He broke the surface of the water, the icy air gripping his lungs.

and so we have reached our main character, A!Tommy from AHTFF!

I’m posting the art i made for my retired (incomplete) fic AHTFF, since most people agreed that i should post it. it’s a 70k+ 22 ch fic centered on SBI/Fantasy/Found Family, Timeline hopping, and sort of post-exile. Things get absurdly sweet in parts (though there is still a ton of drama and angst) so fair warning the cringe level might be a bit high for you.

Don’t follow me for DSMP content, i’m not producing art for it. I’m posting what i have, then it will be back to MDZS!

Sandman Cover Project #56—Michael Allred

"The Sandman Cover Project": What would the covers have looked like if created by the issue artists instead of Dave McKean?

I will gradually add all illustrations via the tag “Sandman Cover Project”.

Happy Birthday, Jace Herondale !!!

To the golden boy! 💛 To the book character that made me rise my love standards maybe a little too much and who taught me that no matter how broken me might feel, we can always heal, we can learn to love again and with our whole heart. That the love from our family and friends is one of the most beautiful and powerful things we can have 💕 And that family is not blood, it's the people who have our backs. Who taught me to be brave and strong for the people we love, but that it's okay to be vulnerable too. That you can be a warrior and an artist and a nerd, everything at the same time. And the most important thing that he taught me: that we can overcome our traumas, we can heal from the pain caused to us and grow to be a good person ♥️🗡️🎹🦁

Jace’s eyes danced, and Clary felt that familiar surge inside her chest, that pull she had felt since the first time she’d ever seen him. She couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment she’d fallen in love with Jace, but there had always been something about him that reminded her of a lion, a wild animal unfettered by rules, the promise of a life of freedom. Never “I can’t,” but always “I can.” Always the risk and the surety, never the fear or the question. —Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

Many people hates Jace, but he has a special place in my heart for everything he taught me while reading his books in my teens. A broken child who grew up to be a happy man, I hope Cassie gives him his happy ending with the love of his life when the last book it's written 🥺♥️

Moodboard for the king’s birthday cause I still have no skills 😌💛
