Do you guys remember when doing the cat show in Toronto when ray literally just. Full handedly caressed gerards whole fucking ass LMAO and then didn't even look back either!!!! Literally just did it and didn't even look and sauntered to the other end of the stage I've never seen a person with more confidence and swag and Gerard being so caught off guard by it, like literally WHIPPED his fucking head so fast like 0////0 anyway that feels like so long ago now I forgot for a while somehow and I remembered a few days ago and it's been haunting me
Leo and Michi meeting for the first time since separated
Look at my sons! they're so sweet and awkward and i love them to bits!
This is probably my favorite reunion out of all of them. Simply because Michi only just left the Foot like a week prior. He's hurt and confused and just in a generally bad mental place. So Splinter brings him to meet Leo, hoping that will help (and with the plan of him staying with Leo at the Daimyos for his safety and wellbeing.)
and then there's Leo, who remembers his sibling enough to miss them. He's lonely almost constantly since Ue all but hates him and his only real friend is Usagi who doesn't get to visit nearly enough.
But then one of his brothers is there. Right there! and suddenly, neither of them are really alone anymore.
It's just the sweetest reunion out of the lot. and i love it to bits.
(the last page was my november speedpaint. link will be coming within the next 5 minutes or so)
I barely see anything of monk and survivor's family, let alone the third sibling, so im here to fix that.
also if anyone's curious, here are the pictures i used for reference because the colors were a bit hard to get right due to lighting in the intros lol
the first one is an image i found of an alpha screenshot. i forgot where exactly i found it.. probably in an old kickstarter or devlog...
yall should already know where the last two are from. but i am VERY convinced this slugcat family is the same family from the alpha screenshot since it also includes blue pup and one of the parents has a more pinkish/redish hue than the other.
"It's normal for siblings to fight" Okay well it's not normal to be extremely classist and look down on your sister for being non-conforming. Or to go to the woman who ordered the death of your pet to tell her about your father's plans, when he specifically warned you against doing so, because you want to marry the boy you saw attack your sister and her friend (contributing partially to said father's death and your sister being unable to escape on the ship he chartered). Or to think of your sibling as unsatisfactory in comparison to another when you believe her to be dead. I notice that none of the "Sansa and Arya are going to reunite and instantly have no issues" crowd ever acknowledge any of this, which makes it seem like they don't actually believe what they say about their relationship being normal and easily reconciled. People wanting them to have no issues simply because they're siblings is another example of how fandom likes to flatten complex characters and relationships. They get reduced to being bickering siblings when their conflict runs deeper than that. If the author is telling you that they have "deep issues" to work out [X], I don't understand being so adamant about ignoring said issues. I also get the sense it's about ignoring the capacity for a certain character to be flawed, but that isn't going to change the fact that her "slip of the tongue" is very likely to be revealed and a source of further conflict 🤷🏾♀️
luther: pretends to hate the music but then would discreetly tap his foot with the beat
diego: very typical angsty emo kid and his obsession with knives was a tad scarier then
allison: very into the makeup aspect of it and would stay up late doing crazy eyeliner (and then furiously scrubbing it off before the next morning)
klaus: all of it. the peak emo kid. makeup, clothes, music, he was at the top. he would force others to listen to the music but not force them into being emo ("just try it! it's not that bad of a song")
five: discreet emo kid. didn't show it physically with makeup or clothing but if you played mcr around him he would fold (mcr fan five truthers rise up)
ben: appreciated the lyric aspect of emo music more, obviously he liked the sound too but he loved analyzing the lyrics
viktor: never directly identified with the emo label but he would stay up late learning the songs he particularly liked on violin
I didn’t realize so many people ship Ezra and Sabine. I just don’t get it. To me, they feel like such siblings and I can’t imagine anything romantic between them. Ezra and Sabine are siblings and Hera and Kanan are their parents and Zeb is the fun uncle and Chopper is their crazy pet and nothing can change my mind.
There’s something that has been buzzing around in the back of my head for awhile now that I finally figured out how to articulate.
I have a lot of favorite characters, comfort characters, and characters I kin/relate to. One of the characters that fits all three categories is Caleb Widogast, but there is something extra that I just learned to express. Something about him that if I ever meet Liam O’Brien I might start sobbing about how much this character means to me.
He is the only character I’ve ever seen that loves the same way I do. I don’t just mean that he’s a chaotic bisexual disaster or that he’s polyamorous; it’s how deeply and widely he loves, how quickly he comes to care about those around him and how deeply his well of love to give is. It’s his hard to define and place relationship with Veth/Nott. How he falls in love with Jester; how whether it became platonic or is still in some way romantic, when life shows that isn’t what their relationship is going to be they’re dear friends. It’s that regardless of exactly what that love is he, still loves her. The flirting and tension with Mollymauk, and later Lucien. How he sees himself in Essek; though all the trouble in the world hangs around them he falls deeply, even if he holds it back behind the walls of his heart. The way early in the campaign he thinks he should leave the party while they’re all asleep; but he doesn’t, he sits there and lists all the reason to go but he doesn’t. There’s of course the doyelist explanation that the PC needs to stay with the party for the campaign and story, but the Watsonian that he’s already come to deeply care about these people. Even as he tries to keep his heart closed and cold he can’t. Caleb’s heart was designed to love fully, widely, deeply, and passionately. He and Essek are able to fight and stand beside each other as they start to heal. He works to put away his abuser so he can’t do that to anyone again, he becomes a teacher who questions authority and fights against the corrupt parts of the institution, and he continues working to put other corrupt authority figures away.
Even with all Caleb’s been through, all the pain of his past, self loathing, and assholery he works to make the world a better and brighter place. One of the people he once considered abandoning became his sister, the person who helps uproot corruption. This man loves so wholly; familiar, romantic, platonic, and all the messy complicated gray alcoves and variations on that spectrum.
