"Jump! For fuck's sake, Louis, jump!" Louis looks down curiously at the ground and notices that the backpack is gone. The grass appears greener than it did before; a minute ago there were streetlights in front of him - why is there no light now? His brows furrow. “Is there a blackout tonight?” He starts coughing uncontrollably as if water has flooded his lungs. He brings his hands around his neck, feeling like he cannot talk nor scream for help – he can’t breathe. “Louis, jump!” And he can’t see, feel or hear anything, but trusts the voice.  He jumps. Then it’s just cold and dark. ________________________________________ Or: the Middle Ages AU where Harry is a philosopher, whose thoughts happen five centuries too soon and Louis is a painter, whose art happens five centuries too late. & Or: the Time Travel AU where alternate versions of themselves live simultaneously in different realities and their paths collide every time, until somehow, they converge into one.

PAUL and LINDA McCARTNEY on their wedding day. March 12, 1969.

fyi the creator of blue eye samurai is a zionist. definitely shouldn't be supporting that.

I see people are making the rounds to stop the growing enthusiasm for the show. I get it.

Seeing Green's posts (via tumblr, since I don’t have twitter or X or wtv the fuck it’s called today) admittedly made me wince. I don’t agree with or support his views. I also feel their dissonance with the show’s blunt criticism of colonialism.

But.

This will be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t actually agree that condemning a show that has been made by a HUGE team of people, who are most certainly as diverse in their political beliefs as in their cultural backgrounds, because of one person’s few posts on social media is entirely fair or fitting.

Yes, he’s one of the creators, sure, his name is slapped onto the lid, but the show is not him. A show is never one person. AND I’m a Death of The Author believer besides, so. There’s that. 

So I for one will keep on celebrating the show and what it stands for and the themes it explores, because I feel it’s important to have them out there. While also disagreeing with one of its creators’ views. After much thought, I’m comfortable with that complication. You, and many others, may not be. Which is fair. And I urge you to block the tag or unfollow me if the distinction makes you uneasy. 

The beautiful Lady Marissa in hollow knight

The most beautiful and peaceful memory in the game is associated with her wonderful song

And, yes, I'm going through the game for the fifth time хD

This time, my thoughts turned to Marissa, because even after so many walkthroughs, her song and look fascinate me

This is a portrait that Lurien drew for Marissa shortly before becoming a Dreamer. As a last gift and thanks for all she does for the city, and still can, to spend the last quiet moments together before the eternal goodbye

I think she and Lurien were close friends, and he liked to draw quick sketches during her concerts. Perhaps he would have liked to portray her one last time as bright and cheerful as she usually was, but her beloved city and its people were already slowly dying, and a good friend was sacrificing his life for some higher purpose, so she just couldn't portray joy, and she didn't want Lurien's last portrait to be fake

A lovely thing, for sure 💝

i cant tell you how much i ADORE this first episode of my beautiful man s2. there’s something about the pace of it, especially in hira and kiyoi’s interactions, the quick back and forth, hira saying something, kiyoi catching him out, hira backing down, kiyoi getting mad about that, hira stuttering to try and say the right thing. the way they interact is this seemingly endless cat and mouse going in circles around this big, huge centre thing that is ‘the point’. they both want to convey so much but neither can put the plain and simple words to it, hira is too much and kiyoi is too little. and yet they still have these moments, when they let the plain truth slip, hira saying you’re just too cute, or kiyoi earnestly asking hira not to leave him, it peels back at their true sentiment that’s always being danced around.

and the thing is, if you didnt watch the first season, this relationship could so easily be seen as bad bad really bad, the way they almost bicker and get mad, how kiyoi appears to pick at hira and gets mad so easily, how hira acts more like an avoid stalker than a boyfriend and always seems on edge or off in his head catastrophising. some people still might. i can see how it can be a difficult relationship to digest. its weird, awkward and uncomfortable at times, and almost absent of the usual softness of a bl couple. but thats why i adore it. because i think its so important and interesting to portray a different kind of relationship, even if maybe exaggerated to fit the king and servent original premise that hira still holds onto. bc the thing with these kinds of relationships is it doesnt matter what we think of it, whether we like it or think its ok, its about the people in it. some people are just different, they act differently, and interact differently, and thats ok if its ok for the people involved, and thats what i think the case is for hira and kiyoi. obviously they still have problems, this relationship isnt perfect, and i think this series is gonna show that, but thats also ok. just bc a relationship isnt perfect, doesnt mean it shouldnt exist. there has to be something there in the first place for it to be worked on. and there is. at the core of it all, these two people really really love and care about each other, they just express it differently, and maybe need to learn how to express it in a way that makes it easier and better for the other to feel it. maybe hira needs to let kiyoi off that pedastal, and maybe kiyoi needs to not view his feelings as this weird, gross thing. but that takes time, and i think is truly worth it.

and what makes it work and so thrilling and interesting to watch as a show is that kiyoi and hira somehow both encourage that detrimenal behaviour but are also so incredibly good for each other, and good at challenging that behaviour. hira wants to see kiyoi as a god and kiyoi wants to be loved, so he can be that godly figure. you can see it in this almost entitled way he acts, pushing hira around, even when he just sits down in the rocking chair, above hira, very mch the image of a king and his bowing servent. as someone that was starved of love as a child, he laps that up. but its when his feelings grow for hira that he realises he doesnt want to be some god or king, he just wants plain and simple, human, equal love. so he ends that scene lying on hira’s lap, lower than him, airing his insecurities of being abandoned and asking hira to stay with him, very much that lonely child wanting someone else’s love. not devotion, not sacrifice, just love. and its his feelings for hira that allow him to push hira in a good way, challenge him, bring him out of his shell, which he desperately needs. hira is so stuck in his head that he hasnt reared his head enough to learn how to act like an actual person. so used to blending into the background, he doesnt know how to be his own person and not an object or a piece of the furniture. you see it at the party, that he doesnt know enough small talk words to get through a conversation, let alone actually be himself and interact with others on an equal level. thats why he takes on this servent role, bc he’s never seen himself as enough of a person to be anything else. he can only be made real when characterised by his actions for others. kiyoi’s rejection of these roles means he can challenge hira to step up, to be on his level, and in that find himself. there’s hints, you can see it, in his love of phtography, when he talks about the moon, when he’s around others and even kiyoi and they have these softer moments where it feels like hes breathing and calm instead of stuttering and panting through an interaction and his brain is running a mile a minute. kiyoi has seen it too, and thats why he fell in love with him. ok, maybe he likes his eccentricities too, but he sees a person that he wants to be with, on equal terms, and in that he wants to pull hira up and see him be himself, realise himself as a person, just as much as he has to step down. and they dont explain these things plainly, voice that they want to help each other in this way, but you see it so clearly. its the subtext of this almost other language that they speak together thats full of twisted meanings and hidden intentions, at the heart of it is, like i said before, actual love and care for each other. do they need to get better at it? yes. but do they need to become our idea of a normal relationship to do that? no, absolutely not. after all, hira will always be hira, and kiyoi will always be kiyoi, and if they lost that, they’d lose themselves and their love for each other. so stay weird, stay unconventional, and stay yourselves, my beautiful couple.

Some old Prompdyn doodles I drew long time ago 📸🌹 Have I mentioned they’re my favorites?? My lovelies???

Ok I don’t know if you’ve watched arcane or not so kind of spoilers not really? Kind of yeah, this is two souls based off of one of the flare scene. I’ve just been listening to guns for hire for too long and I needed somewhere to put this brainrot.

100% ooc for like everyone and it’s really just because I like angst and I’m so deep in this brainrot that I’ve been thinking about this for at least two weeks. So take my angst fueled headcanon scene.

So when 12!crew is scrambling together to defuse the mutagen bomb Donnie gives them emergency flares to light up in case anyone’s in trouble. Leo ends up giving his flare to Chloe and says, “if you’re in trouble, find a tall place and light this up and you’ll be saved.”

“You’ll come save me?”

And then he just pats her head and returns on course to the mission.

Then Leo dies and stuff. Then like time skip to the new crew(tm). Everything’s the same but Chloe has the flare on her vigilante outfit as homage to Leo.

And everything’s going wrong. Chloe is 100% convinced her friends are dead but they currently think she’s dead and are looking for her. Maybe she thinks they died for her (for some extra angst).

She blames herself for their death and looks at the flare and thinks, “did he know he would die? Did he plan to die? Is it my fault? Did he die for me?!”

And so she lights the flare to get rid of it.

But why didn’t she just throw away the flare? Because she was secretly hoping that someone would come save her. That Leo was secretly alive, that her friends didn’t actually die, that she didn’t have to grieve so much.

The flare runs out and instead, someone else has found her.

And she’s enveloped by something.

- somewhere in another universe, at the same time.

Donnie hands out flares. And Leo is completely silent. The Krang did something to their mystic powers. And he can barely see Aoi. But they need to go through with this plan.

“—and these flares are just in case the panic button doesn’t work. But only use them if your panic button doesn’t work. They’re a last resort.”

And just like that, they all leave.

He can’t hear Aoi. He can’t see him, he can’t feel him. It’s like he vanished.

He feels as the Krang crushes him, and through the crushing, the bashing, the punching and hitting he hears a clink, and then the sound of some sort of gas.

The smoke is a neon green colour.

And Leo looks at it, and all he can think of is…

‘I just want to be saved.’

“It’s ok, little lion. You’re almost home, just follow my voice. You’re almost there.”

And then he’s enveloped by warmth.

Awwwe that's actually sorta cute

I haven't watched arcane at all (lazy ass) but imagine me chomping on this idea.

Let me expand it for the 2012 crew's side since the rise gang has their own little world going on.

It's Donnie that ends up finding Chloe before the flare runs out.

If you could remember, after winning round one of the tmnt au competition i gave out everyone's last words to 12 Leo/Aoi, and Donnie says nothing. He didn't say anything to Leo at all.

So it's closure, in a way, to be able to save Chloe. He was never the initiative guy, he always ends up setting himself aside in order to solve bigger problems that can't be solved with fists. He has never put himself in direct line of fire since he's important. He's the inventor, he's the medic, he's the information gatherer. Their whole ninja operation rotates around his survival.

The only time he dealt with things on his own, head on, he got himself into big trouble and was willing to kill a man, so you can say Raph would not want a big repeat of that, more so without Leo being Donnie's voice of reason.

So when he shows up to save Chloe, all by himself, he allows himself a little reprieve from the ever present guilt.

At least they got to use the flare.

Even though he saved a different blue eyed teenager.

pspspspsps,, coney island by taylor swift w (again) the godheim boys,,,

Im stranded at my friend's place in a big city and now I know why everyone looks so dead inside. These kind of places just suck the soul right out of you.

Like all I want is someone to love and adore, but with the smallest inkling that they actually care about me as a person too and won't drop me the first time I'm an inconvenience. If I had that we'd fuck nasty every which way all the damn time and I'd send them cute nudes to fluster them when I was feeling flirty. It shouldn't be so damned hard to find that 😔
