Aenar, the exile
Twelve years before the Doom of Valyria (114 BC), Aenar Targaryen sold his holdings in the Freehold and the Lands of the Long Summer and moved with all his wives, wealth, slaves, dragons, siblings, kin, and children to Dragonstone, a bleak island citadel beneath a smoking mountain in the narrow sea.
Aenar and his wife, taking a walk in valyria and Aenar, reminiscing about Valyria!
Back when I was drawing Aenar and his wife, I thought about making her some sort of a prophecy gal, with some penchant for politics like her husband, and I named her Malaena, but then came HotD with their behind the scenes and called her Elaena and gave her a fun backstory, which honestly might be a lot better than the one I came up with, and also, here goes a theory/headcanon, what if Elaena, who resented her husband, decided to travel back to Valyria, or simply refused to leave, and died there!
#aenar targaryen#aenar the exile#asoiaf#fire and blood#valyrianscrolls#house targaryen#my art#fanart#pre asoiaf#All of this is definitely not book canon#but as soon as I read it I thought about Lot's wife#who looked back and “got lost”#anyway#I was very inspired by Roman and egyptian art for Valyrian fashion#and the huge dragon behind him with a saddle is his own mount#I'll color this one later for sure

Empress and her Bodyguard.
(OCs, grey haired lady Zaphira she/her, demon Shargon he/they)
(also some details up close)


and this guy bc i find him funny

#ganondoodles#art#digital art#painting#artists on tumblr#ocs#original character#look i had to call it quits at some point#so if i waited anylonger to post it in whatever form of finished it was i would have lost interest and would never have posted it so#here it is#also you guys get more info#zaphira is the empress of the largest land in this world and conquered most of it in her youth#she used to be obsessed with war bc she wanted to prove herself to be the strongest ruler there was after the violent death of her-#adopted parents#she grew to see that that isnt the way in part bc of her lover at that time who was a general in her army#but she died in that battle and since then zaphira has been trying to rebuild whatever she destroyed and give back what she can#but she is still very hated and couldnt leave her palace for the longest time bc of assassins until she heard of a demon lurking around#and sought him out to be her bodyguard bc who would dare attack her when shes got a demon at her side#this is her arriving at the palace of another country whos leader challegned her to a fist fight bc he thought shes frail and old#(its an assassination attempt- she knows that)

so the good place is widely lauded on this site for its takes on morality and capitalism, which i totally agree with
but i think it should get more recognition for the line "all humans are aware of death. so we're all a little bit sad all the time. that's just the deal. we don't get offered any better ones. and if you try and ignore your sadness, it just ends up leaking out of you anyway. i've been there, and everybody's been there. so don't fight it. in the words of a very wise bed bath and beyond employee i once knew - go ahead and cry all you want. but you're gonna have to pay for that toilet plunger."
#i dunno i've been thinking about grief lately#and i think the nature of humanity is everyone's grieving something#it might not always be as straightforward as the death of a loved one - sometimes it is#but sometimes you're grieving a life you never got to live#the person you used to be#hell an old toy you just realised you lost years ago and are never going to get back#we're all just a little bit sad all the time#and i think looking at the world like that makes it a lot more friendly place#because everyone is someone who needs a bit of comfort - or just someone to say hey its okay to be sad and angry and confused#and when you're finally ready to let whatever you're grieving go the world will be a happier place#and you'll find a new thing to grieve because there's always something to be a little bit sad about#but the world keeps getting better for every one you get through and every friend who helps you through it#and sometimes you just need to throw a dumb joke in there at the end#that's what it means to be human#the good place#tgp

Everyone talking about Ariana's "I hope you're happy", but to be honest, this was the shot that killed me:
You have the "Unlimited" notes playing behind this. Elphaba is off flying in her big superhero cape into the literal sunset. And then we pan down to Glinda.
In this moment, finally, at last, she's got the whole, undivided attention of Mrs. Morrible. She's got everything she ever wanted. And still she turns back, and she looks absolutely miserable. As Elphaba is soaring the skies, Glinda is getting pulled down the darkened stairs.
Already, the regret is starting to set in.
#Wicked#I don't know if I buy Ariana as a good actress yet#because I feel like this character is still very much in her comfort zone.#but the LOOK on her face when she turns here.#she looks so heartbroken.#not wistful or bittersweet or forlorn.#she looks truly and well miserable.#like a little kid who got lost and is trying to find her mom.#after a whole movie being desperate for Mrs. Morrible attention... Glinda doesn't even look at her.#all she wants is her friend back.#And it made me a bit feral.

↠ Tim & Lucy ↳ 2x01 - Impact
#jesuis-assez edits: chenford#jesuis-assez edits: chenford scenes 2x01#🤣Love it. Look at him staring her down.#Sir... That's your future wife.#2x01 hits different now that we have some more insight into Tim's past.#To see him so pressed here because she didn't report him.#He's seeing himself in her choice to not report him. His past self.#He's got the emotional walls back up and she's only going to tear them down again.#Darting his eyes back and forth with hers and that .. JAW CLENCH 💖I love those jaw clenches. Is this affecting you Tim? 🤭#In more ways than one. Her being kind to him in light of him knowing this#Catapulting his mind back to the person 'he used to be' and how hard he has tried to shake that choice he made all those years ago.#How hard he has tried to redeem all of that for it to come crashing back in the form of his rookie who was trying to protect him.#Because she's supposed to be different from him. She's supposed to be better. And he's mad at her for making the same choice.#But he's also mad at himself. Because he's supposed to be better and he's supposed to be different now.#Even though he isn't all that different. He was falsifying reports to protect Isabel.#He's supposed to be training her to be better and she made the same choice he made.#So his course of action is to rev up the training some more. Maybe he was too soft and lenient with her towards the end of s1#and he lost sight of his training methods and how rules matter.#but he also lowered his walls and was vulnerable with her. He let her in.#And he's going to keep letting her in despite how much he tries to resist.#with every act of kindness she shows him... the walls break down and soften a little#until all that remains is Tim's unwavering tenderness for Lucy.#that only seems to grow more in her presence and influence.

It's been years since I was involved with bnha and even now I am not touching it beyond whatever spoilers come up on my dashboard, but there are opinions that I will stand by till my dying breath-
Toshinori Yagi is objectively the best character of the series
Natsuo Todoroki is the realest mf ever for sticking to his guns and never forgiving Enji. Fuck forgive and forget especially when it comes to abusive parents!
Dfo is great but I personally love it when it's a crack au with dadmight. Because then it's a tale about how thoroughly and ruthlessly All Might has demolished afo, a lot of it without even knowing
#empty thoughts#Yagi is amazing but I especially love the fact that he's a genuinely a good person who wants to help people#Who also ripped out his archnemesis's face#No mercy. No hesitation. No killing is wrong. Toshi wants that jackass dead!!! On sight!!!#He is in his 50's his guts are spilling out and he's doing everything in his power to revoke afo's breathing rights#Afo! Afo you lost to a guy who chooses to wear ugly mustard pinstriped suit in public#Afo his iconic look is two tufts just sticking up like antennas and you lost to him afo#Afo got injured and then goes into hiding and spends most of that time traumatizing children#All might meanwhile takes a nap wakes up and goes back to work#And with dfo it's just the levels of loss#Afo's son being The Biggest fan of his archnemesis.#Said son meets said archnemesis and it's instant father son bonding that was way better then what you got#Said son got your brothers quirk you wanted from said archnemesis and now he's trying to become while you are still a villain#Said son doesn't mention his father (you) even once but he does mention all might like all the time#Just hilarious level of losses. Epic L after epic L. Rock bottom but life has a shovel for you.#I love you toshinori yagi nobody is winning like you in canon dfo au

For the art requests: A Pokemon Mystery Dungeon team comprised of a Banette, Phantump, and Drifloon struggling to read a map?
(I was possessed by the idea of a trio team made up by these three spookies who have a neat possible dynamic when you look at their 'Dex entries, and I'd love to see your take on them in your style!)
Ooh this is such a good combo! All fantastic ghosts with that loose relationship to children falling to some misfortune

Team leader Phantump seems pretty confident, but hard to trust a pokemon’s sense of direction when their claim to fame is “child who got lost in the forest and died”
#Sincerely-sofie#Drifloon#banette#phantump#pokemon doodles#original art#thanks for the ask!#Been thinking about this dynamic and honestly there could be so much here#Thinking of phantump as the potential leader#They’re technically the “child” so resonate most with the central theme#banette I feel would assume the role of caregiver/guardian a bit#Looking out for their kid#Maybe they were a plushie the child had left in the forest by mistake?#Came to life as a banette and was upset/angry for being abandoned#Until they found the body of the child who lost them next to a confused looking phantump#Who’s saying something about how much they missed their toy that went missing the other day and how they got lost looking for it#As for drifloon maybe they started following the child when they came back to the woods?#Had some not so holy thoughts about spiriting them away#Couldn’t pick them up but maybe ended up leading them deeper in/causing them to get lost?#Possibly were the indirect cause of them meeting their demise/winding up as a phantump?#But banette doesn’t know that#They made themself scarce when the kid died#And “appeared” later and joined their team#they felt guilty about being involved and want to help the pair#eventually genuinely come to enjoy their company and become real friends#of course until banette learns the truth#Sorry that took a rather non-pmd turn for a silly doodle XD#pokemon like phantump make me a little insane#There’s so many implications for stuff like that#And I get it’s probably more of a “legends have it this species arose like this” thing

I need scenes where Daryl explicitly shows that he loves Carol for all of who she is as a human. I know we know it, even though that feeling has been fading since the spin-off and even in parts of season 11. But I reallyyy need at least one scene where Daryl catches Carol doing something distinctly Carol and looks at her for a *prolonged* time with unambiguous love all over his face. And then he actively shows and tells her. Like the scenes where Aaron and Rosita see Carol putting herself through pain to kill the horse to feed Alexandria. I need to know that Daryl sees that in her. And I need to see him radiate intense love in her direction because she fucking needs it.
#i just feel like carol has spent years and years and years being the most selfless and loving human on the planet#and she has no idea how fuck beautiful of a human she is#even though her family love her they also punish her for her flaws and its gross honestly#but you know who never did that#daryl#and you know who now feels like he sometimes does that#you guessed it#and i just feel like shes trapped in this state of daryl being the only person who always loved her unconditionally and just hoping for...#for that version of him to come back again#but shes not asking for it bc she doesnt think she deserves it#but she hopes#and it feels like he isnt there for her#not really#i need her to feel loved again#even when they reunited in france it just felt like she was relieved to have found him but at terminus it was more like joy to realise...#how much he loved her#when does she get to have that again#even the shocked look she gave during “im the one you tell” when she realised he actually WANTS to be there for her i'd like that again#our man daryl just built all of this reassurance that he loves and supports her and then when shes at her most lost he withdraws it#like what the fuck#i just want carol happy so much#or just LOVED i just want her to feel truly loved#bc right now i feel like she feels like people just tolerate her#can anyone honestly tell me they watched tboc and feel like carol feels unwaiveringly loved and supported throughout that series#bc wow#silly me but i think we all deserve more than what she got there#caryl#the book of carol#tboc#carol peletier

Something something about the Third Doctor and the fate of Tantalus. You're trapped in one place. Everything you want, that you once took for granted is right there in front of you, you can see it you can reach for it but you can never have it. You will never attain it on your own. Your fate is dependent on the mercy or cruelty of others and you hate it and you rage against it but you can’t do anything, your defiance is treated like nothing but a childish tantrum but you refuse to beg, you won’t get that desperate no matter how long you’re trapped here, no matter how low you’re brought down. You stand among humans and you look human but you’re not, you’re an animal in a cage with them and you’re the only one who can see the bars. Gnawing and hacking at them to no avail. And yet all you can do is wait and hope and try and fail in an endless loop until an outside force interferes to free you from your prison. The carrot and the stick. How does it feel to be on the receiving end?
#even when his exile is lifted and he gets his tardis back he still can’t get jamie and zoe back#he’ll never be able to#the doctor’s always lost companions but until that point they’d always chosen to leave#this was the first instance where he lost them#no not lost they were TAKEN from him#the doctor was ripped apart mentally and physically and emotionally#and he has to live with that#knowing that they’re living their lives without him as if nothing happened#(and even in jamie’s case he’s not sure considering Jamie was basically dropped into the middle of a battlefield)#only that he can never see them again#bc they won’t know him they won’t remember any of the adventures the fun the quiet moments spent together#he’s the only one who knows who remembers#and what he can’t bear more than anything is having them look at him with no recognition in their eyes#having them ask him who he is and not reacting in any way when he says “i’m the doctor”#not to mention how easily he was exiled and punished#he triumphed over daleks and cybermen and so many other creatures#but in the face of the time lords he was rendered helpless so easily#they trapped him took his tardis and his connection and his knowledge and his companions away and forced him to regenerate just like that#and now the time lords are aware of his existence and probably keeping an eye on him#in case they need him for anything (aka jobs to do for them)#reduced to a boy put in time out and then an errand boy#doctor who#classic who#third doctor#3rd doctor#my thoughts#wow that’s a lot of tags i’m sorry#i got carried away#i just can’t stop thinking about the tragedy of it all#in two’s ending and three’s beginning and their companions

I don't think Nana ever expressed her opinion on Tazmily or the villagers, but I imagine she was one of the people who felt unhappy even before the Pigmasks arrived. Maybe she never commented on how much Tazmily had changed in three years because she wasn't too surprised to see that the seemingly utopic village wasn't such a utopia after all. It's hard to feel a sense of community when you're a child, you lose your father and you're all alone and still no one seems to care because you committed the crime of being "annoying". But unlike some of the other villagers who searched for fulfillment in what Fassad offered them, she had no interest in happy boxes or New Pork City, only the sea.
#mother 3#nana#thought about her for 5 seconds and now i'm emo#she just wants her dad back :(#i know technically it's not canon that her dad was a sailor who got lost at sea but still#she's an orphan something must've happened to her parents#and i choose to interpret her spending her days looking at the ocean as her hoping to see her dad come back#like flint with claus#tried to put together like 3 trains of thought hope this makes sense lmao
