The parallel between the shot of Alison and Mike first approaching the house and them approaching in their old age is beautiful. In both cases, they pause to take it in, the place that will be their future and the place that holds their past and family. In both, their love for and closeness with each other is clear, arms linked or hands held. But the former shot is from a low angle, the house towering over them, and the latter straight on. The house has gone from being something that holds them in place, something they are constantly battling to look after and afford, to just an old home, which they're able to return to as often as they wish, a place they can love without worry. They move out but they don't move on. They have a usual room. Alison's snippet of conversation with the ghosts wouldn't be out of place in any episode. The house is still a home of sorts to them, the ghosts are still their family, they just visit it and them regularly, rather than letting the house define their life the way it did when they lived there.

I'd absolutely love to see your take on ES Optimus in any sort of capacity! He's my special guy :] But if you want something more familiar, maybe TFA Prowl chillin in some nature? If I could throw something more specific at you, interacting with some wolves? (Not sure how comfortable you are with animals but figured it's worth a shot 🐺)
AT LAST!!! I managed to draw your request after busy days and playing around with your last idea because GOSH: Prowl + Animals always win me over x'D
Tho... I took a... not very "chill" route that ended... in me drawing another thing that I know many despite about the canon of the character--
Yeah IM SO SORRY but I couldn't find a way to make it work without it orz (and I dont have currently the brain to design an alternative human design hxgcxhgvcgv) and welp :')
Hope is nice enough to the eyes anyways haha I wanted to try something different and challenge myself because-- Because AAA

thoughts i need to get written down so they'll stop bouncing around in my skull and let me live:
stede and ed are, at the heart of them, pretty similar, yes? in a lot of the ways that matter. similar enough that when they start getting to know each other, taking a peek past the outward differences, it's easy for them to slip into a comfortable familiarity because there's this unconscious "oh, hello, i recognize you" sort of vibe.
but what i keep thinking about is the envy that's layered on top of that. for both of them. because i just. it's so fucking interesting how their self-image clashes with how they're seen by each other. they both have this soft underbelly, a love of comfort and fine things, they both feel everything so deeply. but they handle it so differently.
stede's always been someone who's incapable of hiding who he is. not because he's particularly confident about it, he's not flaunting, he just doesn't have the tools to craft any kind of disguise. he learns all these social rules and tries so hard to follow them but people still see through him and he doesn't have the people skills to know why or how. so he doesn't have any other choice but to be himself.
meanwhile ed hides so much of himself i'm not sure he even realizes he's doing it half the time. it's second nature. and he sees stede going around just. doing whatever the fuck he wants basically, telling the whole fucking world that he's soft and emotional, an whether he's doing it on purpose or not, ed is deeply in awe of that because it's something he's never been able to do.
but at the same time stede wants to be able to mask like that. he wants to know what it's like to fit in and he sees ed's ability to perform masculinity as something enviable. ("if i could just be like blackbeard, i'd give all this away" like. ouch.) i don't think he really sees how miserable it makes ed because he can't see past his own jealousy. he can't comprehend ed wanting to be like him because his whole life he's been a walking target and he doesn't get why anyone would want that. he's been told over and over again how undesirable his way of being is.
idk i'm just stuck on stede being someone who didn't have a choice in how the world sees him. he's not being himself because he's brave or self-assured, he's just not good at masking. probably part of why he's so fucking horrified when ed shaves and stops being blackbeard completely. he doesn't see his own vulnerability as a good thing, why would he want that for someone he cares about. he doesn't want ed to be a target too.
