[dandyshucks]

brain is so silly bc I'm thinking "i wish Guz had cold hands so when I'm stressed he could cup my face and it'd soothe the itchiness I get when I start scratching at myself from the stress" and then I realized wait he's a fictional character. I could just say he has cold hands if I wanted. but he DOESN'T, i just KNOW that man is a heater !!! he will get me overheated so easily and that is simply something i am happy to put up with because i love him !!!!

first sentence fic ask meme thing:

Ruth looked down at the landscape below her, the moor studded with rocks.

(im watching nature documentaries don't judge :P)

Ruth looked down at the landscape below her, the moor studded with rocks.

It had been a long time since she had last been here, but the Fell was as harsh and unforgiving as it ever was.

The last time, she had craved it. The feeling of the wind whipping about her face, the cold drizzle of autumn that threatened to become the lashings of winter. She had let the weather buffett her from hill to hill, feet moving without thought, desperate to feel something, to feel nothing at all. That night she had stayed in a hillside bothy, draughty and cold, and slept on the floor listening to her raincoat drip onto the rough stone. Wondered if this was what it felt like for her mother, laid out on the mortuary slab. There isn’t much between cold and dead.

In a way, this visit was an echo. Another goodbye. Another new beginning. But instead of letting the rain spray across her face she pulled her coat fast about herself, and trod an intentional path.

She built a fire in the bothy hearth, and turned her palms towards it.

Goodbye, her heart seemed to whisper to the old stones, to the heather bushes, to the rain. I am off to see a world beyond the moors.

🦇 My beloved bookish bats, I am STRUGGLING. Growing up, I had to dig and hunt for books featuring queer characters. Though a few received the attention they rightfully deserved, too many were left in the dark. Now? Now I can barely narrow them down to make these posts; a good problem to have!

🏳️‍🌈 In an effort to help YOU narrow down your TBR for pride month, let's play a game. Pick a flag for a queer book pick. If you're up for the challenge, choose a flag for a rec AND recommend your own book in the comments. Happy reading!

✨ Books Mentioned ✨ ❤️ Going Bicoastal by Dahlia Adler 🧡 She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan 💛 A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab 💚 I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver 💙 Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera 💜 Baker Thief by Claudie Arseneault 🖤 Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender 🤍 Teacher of the Year by MA Wardell

Personal interpretation of Neil's story and character

*Warning Heat and Heat 2 Spoilers and Quotes*

These are just my interpretations of Neil's story from Heat and Heat 2. This may or not be true, but I enjoyed delving into the meaning of some of the contrasts between the book and movie. Let me know what you think!

Neil's ex-lover Elisa was part of his crew in 1988 until she was murdered by a psycho killer/rapist named Otis Wardell who intercepted Neil and the boys heist smuggling money across the Mexican Border. Elisa had an 8 year old daughter, Gabriela whom Neil was like a father to. Since Elisa's death Neil firmly believed in the discipline of no links and attachments. "It gets people you should never have been involved with-killed" (pg.311).

'Gabriela props up the pillow, snuggles against him, and opens the book. Gabriela looks up at his silence with innocent eyes. Neil nods at the book on her lap.'

Neil: "What's it about"?

Gabriela: "The ocean. The ocean is seventy percent of Earth's surface."

'Gabriela turns a page. On the page are pictures of azure-and-turquoise waters. Night-time. Glowing.'

Neil: "What the hell is that?"

Gabriela: "Fiji. It's in the South Pacific. It's iridescent algae. It glows in the dark. The whole ocean. When you touch it, when you swim in it, the ocean lights up. Like magic. Can you imagine that? You swim through it and it's like a falling star follows you."

Neil: "I can fully imagine being there and swimming in that."

Gabriel: "Can I come with you?"

Neil: "Sure absolutely. You and your mom." (pg 255-257)

Neil: "I love you. you brought me to full color."

Elisa: "You brought me back to life".

Neil: "Querida (Beloved). I'm sorry. You didn't sign up for this. If I'd never gotten involved with you, this wouldn't have happened."

'In the middle of the road, Neil sits on the asphalt, covered in blood. Held tight in his arms, pale as marble, limp, drained of life, is Elisa. He stares through the day, through the rocks, through Chris and Michael. He cradles Elisa's body tenderly, desperately. Broken.' (pg, 309).

Neil couldn't let Eady go even after she at first hated who he really was. He didn't want to lose anyone else like he lost Elisa and Gabriela. Neil fell for Eady while she had no connection to the criminal world he lived in, he wanted to escape with her far away with her, no looking back.

He yearned for love and a family. Neil didn't want to be alone anymore.

Neil looked for Otis for a while after Elisa's death but he wasn't able to catch him, he broke away free, which could be one of the reasons as to why Neil couldn't let Waingro go, whom had similar animalistic characteristics to Otis Wardell. It was more than personal to Neil, not just to avenge Trejo, but also the physical reminder of what a man like that did to a woman he loved dearly.

Neil's dream where he's drowning symbolizes that he doesn't have enough time to do what he wants to do, I don't think it refers to him wanting to do the scores, but it could be his want to be 'home free' (like he told Eady and Gabriela about going to Fiji to swim with the iridescent algae).

Its interesting to note also the relativity between Neil and Vincent's characters in 1988. They had no connection in that era other than Otis. Otis was on Vincent's radar for a while. And Vincent was also close to catching him at a crime scene and if he did so, would've saved Elisa and Neil's heartbreak.

In 2000, Vincent finally catches and kills Otis which feels like a respectable token to Neil's longing revenge for Elisa's death after all those years even after his death in Heat.

People wonder how the Paradise Planning crew can get so much done when most of the time they can be found wasted at the local dining spots.

art and rambles under the cut yippeeeee Guz and Millie sketches !

so i found out i CAN draw still and havent lost all ability,,, turns out i just haven't drawn in my sketchbook since last saturday and I am still having some mighty big struggles with digital art LOL

anyways here's a Guz and also a quick Millie (very loose) redraw just to see how that'd go, woagh,,, the original ink one is from 2021 ! i do still rly like it tbh, it's got a lot of character, but I think I've definitely improved since then in terms of like... anatomy in general sbdhdksl

and the Guz took waaaay too long bc I was trying to find refs to rly get a good idea of how to draw his side profile, I'm trying to nail down my Vision of him,,, it is so ridiculously difficult to find refs of 1) p.olynesian ppl, 2) fat ppl, and 3) ppl w big noses 😭 but i think i did alright in terms of the sketch, phew!

but anyways u all can see Millie now,,, i think i showed art of her like a billion yrs ago maybe but it was in some super long off-topic post shfjldl, but here is my beloved preteen menace !!! the weird little dead girl herself !!! eventually i will get around to editing and posting the Dandy/Wardell fic that features her :]

melruth + yarrow

❀ yarrow (everlasting love) — “i don’t think i’ll ever stop loving you.”

~~~

It wasn't fair. Melanie knew that from the beginning. From the minute Ben had suggested it as a tactic to distract Ruth and in her panic she had agreed, her mind would never let her forget how unethical she was being. But there's nothing ethical about survival, was there?

It wasn't kind either, and Melanie's heart had twisted itself in knots.

God, she loved it when Ruth smiled. A real smile, not one reserved for passengers, but a bone achingly deep smile that dimpled her cheeks and made her eyes sparkle. Melanie loved that she could make Ruth smile like that. And she hated it, too.

"I don't think I'll ever stop loving you," Ruth whispered as she played absentmindedly with Melanie's hair. The stars above the observation car sparkled like her eyes.

In some other universe, Melanie thought, it could all be real. She could love her for real, and not just for politics.
