I kinda forgot that I have the power of all artists - The Power Of Drawing Whatever The Fk I Want

Or Samarina in short

i love watching the 'thiam staring at each other' compilations because you can differentiate what theo feels towards liam and viceversa pretty clearly.

liam looks at theo as if the chimera is still someone he can't quite figure out, like he's enthralled by him but still trying to be cautious, even if at this point it's completely useless. you can see that he's interested, but most of the times there's that fade sense of wanting to take a step back.

he's starting to trust this boy who has been a threat in the past, and it's clearly something that takes a toll on him.

liam wants to trust theo, and deep down he does even if he doesn't realise it yet.

but theo. oh, theo.

he's just deeply mesmerized by liam in a way that is so OBVIOUS. you would think that him being a former bad guy and whatever would make him a bit more restrained but really he just does not seem to care at all. (except for that one time he gets free'd out of the cell by liam and the sheriff and says that they don't need to trust each other and whatever)

he's amazed by the fact that this relentless, passionate and strong boy exists. theo understands liam and wants to help him all the way throughout s6, learns how to get him to control his senses and impulsions.

it's beautiful to see the way theo stares at liam because it holds such care and fondness and CURIOSITY behind it, it's powerful.

Some Malec again

Interviewer: “It doesn’t even matter to Stede in that moment because Blackbeard has come  back,you’re both you know in shackles in handcuffs, you know lying down.”

Taika: *slowly slides over his foot*

I’m glad that exact scene is also what comes to their mind when someone says episode 8. 

I don't know if it is the way King looks at Uea. Or how King is so respectful of Uea's boundaries. Or Uea feeling safe and loved enough to open up to King about his abuse. Or Uea calling himself beautiful while looking like that on the roof. Or the positive representation of therapy and prescriptions. Or the brilliant display of acting NetJames is putting in. But something about this episode made me cry but was also super healing.

So how many times do we think they had to shoot this scene just because Peter kept wanting another go?

due to popular demand, here is the evolition of how rose sees/thinks of sydney throughout the books

before we start, we have to take in consideration rose’s state of mind when she meets sydney. not only was dimitri just turned into a strigoi and rose decides to search for him and kill him, but she just broke up left lissa and all her friends/family. throughout blood promise, rose feels alone. she is only focused on her goal of killing dimitri and thinks everyone has moved on from her.

so when she meets sydney and they are forced to go together to omsk, rose is annoyed.

but the thing about rose is that, no matter how much she tries to act tough, she is secretly a softie. despite sydney’s upbringing and personality being completely opposite of rose’s, they get to know each other and bond. sydney provides to rose the company that she misses from lissa.

so when sydney leaves, rose is clearly upset. she is alone once again.

now let’s jump to spirit bound. rose has all her friends/family back. sydney only shows up in one scene, but the way she is described is very telling:

rose is aware that sydney still has her alchemist views and might not feel the same as her. but there is that part of rose that considers sydney this unlikely friend and is open to that if given the opportunity.

now, last sacrifice. we (and rose) slowly see sydney not too hung up on her alchemist views and reciprocating (in her own way) her friendship with rose. and because of that, rose starts worrying more about sydney.

when rose and dimitri get separated from sydney at jill’s house, rose regrets leaving her behind and what that means for sydney when the alchemist deals with her. i’m serious, she mentions it almost every single page.

if that’s not friendship, i don’t know what that is.

literally as soon as rose meets with sydney again in bloodlines, the first thing she tells her is how worried she was!!

obviously in the rest of bloodlines, rose barely shows up, but when she does she is always friendly with sydney. also correct me if i’m wrong but it’s only in silver shadows where rose says that sydney is her friend.

but yeah, i love the friendship between these two and how despite their differences at first, both come to care and respect each other (very similar to sydrian if I say so 🫢) and it’s not talked about enough!!

"Did you punch them back?" @secretxxpaladaiseu

He only wanted to know because of how much he wanted to kill that girl. Just seeing her bloodied like this felt wrong, it made him furious. He wanted revenge. "Well did you check to see if she had a pulse?" His eyes looked towards the ground for a moment, he didn't mean to be so impulsive with his words. But it happened more often than not. He looked at her before he spoke again, "I just...ya know, I wouldn't mind finishing the job for you is all." He awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck. To say it aloud was too much, he never admitted to a woman he was a serial killer. Hopefully his awkwardness made it a bit clear what he was hinting at.

"You're my favorite plot twist."

Reminiscing

Legend hummed as he felt Ravio shift against his side. He carefully pulled Ravio closer and watched as the Rider burrowed into Legend’s side and settled back to sleep. It’d been a few days since they started traveling through Loloska. Both Hunter and Rider moving from the colder region towards Lamure where they’ve heard about a ranch that would grant them aid.  He took a deep breath before slowly letting it out, trying to let his thoughts slip away when he sighed. Legend had met Ravio when the other was selling feathers from a Qurupeco and had run into trouble when other hunters were angered by the prices. Legend had managed to talk the other Hunters into letting him take the merchant to the guild and once they were far enough away Legend had let Ravio go. Their first interaction quickly snowballed into Legend learning that Ravio was a Rider, someone who formed bonds and lived with monsters, from a distant village that had suffered heavily from the Black Blight. He’d left with his monstie to find help but had only found trouble with Hunters because of Sheerow.  That led them to where they were now, trekking through the ice and snow on a rumor. He didn’t know what they’d do if Lamure turned out to be a bust if they had to keep searching and running. He could starkly remember Ravio's trembling hands, the fake smile, and the dead eyes. He saw the same expressions in Sheerow, the Bird Wyvern mimicking their rider almost perfectly with his constantly twitching wings, flat chirps and warbles, and dead eyes. He didn’t want to see it again. The pain of not being able to ease his friend's worries, not being able to ease Ravio’s worries. A hum and a push brought him out of his thoughts. Ravio had moved again and was now almost sprawled atop Legend, ‘Likely to steal my body heat’ Legend mused, and Sheerow had pushed further in on his other side. The Crimson Qurupeco was now curled completely around the pair, feathers puffed up to trap heat from the fire and Legend and Ravio. Legend felt himself smile, raising one hand to gently card his fingers through Ravio’s hair and using his other to rub the underside of Sheerow’s beak. He could think about those worries later, for now, Legend would just enjoy having the two close to him. He settled himself down. Drawing Ravio that last bit closer, tucking their blankets more snuggly around the pair and finally allowing his eyes to slip closed.
