ONE PIECE SEASON 1 | VILLAINS

Exceptional emotive work by Rhys Darby. You can see the emotions shift. The excitement (and the fun, because Stede does like doing this) of the escape moving towards the memory of where he is and where Ed is and what he needs to do. The tears in his eyes that he doesn't let go on deck but holds until he's next to Ed's body. The break in his expression when Izzy tries to thank him, that little surge of anger as he turns to go below deck. It's a single, fairly static shot, which means that it all depends on the emotions on his face.

Something this show does exceptionally well is managing that shift between comedy and more serious emotions - yes, Stede is a silly little guy, and he's also a guy with a deep well of love and pain and hope. He will make an ass of himself by belly-flopping into the ocean and he will save his crew because he loves them and he will hold his emotions in check until he can sit by Ed and grieve alone. There's a great fluidity to his characterization - he's the guy who came up with a fake death scenario involving a fight with a leopard and a piano, and the guy who wrote a thousand love letters and threw them into the sea, and the guy who will shove Blackbeard up against the wall for the purposes of hot gay sex*.

All of that works because the show doesn't treat him as an object of derision or like he has to prove anything or change himself to be loved or treated right. He changes, but he changes organically and neither in the writing nor in Darby's performance does he lose his earnestness and his whimsy and his silliness. In fact, the show clearly indicates that that's what endears him to the crew and why Ed fell in love with him in the first place. But he does feel, and he feels deeply.

It's a very hard needle to thread, both in terms of writing and in terms of directing and performance, but dang they pull it off.

*Not my phrase, but it looks like the original poster may have removed the post?

daan discord kitten au .

shoutout to the irl discord friends who were subjected to this first.

thinking thoughts about like. intercrural sex with sam bc youre too pure and just a fucking cocktease you just can’t have… sex yet… so he makes do with the closest thing he can get

oh my god it would drive him absolutely insane.

making out with sam was always your favorite thing to do. it was sam's favorite thing too, but he always wished you'd let him go further.

it made him feel a little selfish and greedy, but he can't help it when your needy hips accidentally roll against his growing bulge so deliciously.

"don't do that." he demands. you look at him, confusion plastered across your face.

"do what?" sam gives you a knowing look. when you finally realize what you did, you drop your head down, feeling a tinge of guilt. you didn't mean to tease sam, but it just felt so good.

"just- take these off." sam gently tugs at your shorts. you lift yourself off his lap and remove them. he leans back on his bed and takes off his baggy, grey sweatpants. you sit back on his lap and look at him, waiting for his next response.

"can i touch you here?" sam asks sweetly as his thumb gently brushes against your clothed clit. after you grant him permission, he reaches underneath your panties and grazes a single finger between your wet folds.

"shit you're soaking," he chuckles. "here, you wanna help me too?" you nod eagerly and sam grabs your hand and stuffs it into his boxers, making you grab his stiff cock.

"see, it's easy. i know you can do it." sam smiles at you as he guides your hand up and down his thick shaft, then eventually releasing your hand so you can do it yourself. sam unexpectedly begins to circle his thumb around your puffy clit while simultaneously pumping his single digit into your pussy, making you whimper pathetically.

i'm too high to finish this🧍‍♀️

I wonder how well Vox even knows Alastor, because all we know for certain is that Vox wants Alastor’s attention, like he holds some kind of admiration for Alastor on some level. And I just have to wonder if that’s in spite of Alastor being a wacka-do that eats raw deer and constructed an organ made entirely out of furbies

HUH HAH GAY

I have more WIPs of this au but have this smol demo of the designs I’ve been thinking of and would *love* to expand more on

(also i’ve been scheduled at work for the last 8 days, so I got really lazy with the lineart and coloring)

Laudna: *gets hurt* Imogen, immediately: MY EYES FLASH WHITE 😡

NaruFox AU Second fight - Sakura vs Shino: A battle of brains!

Prev / Next

Sakura knows she still can’t use powerful genjutsu, she only hoped it would last enough for her to get Shino to surrender.

Something something Orym being a widower and a romantic with so much love to give and no living partner to give it to.

'I'm super lonely all the time, especially at night. '

Something something Ashton being so starved for affection that he doesn't really know what love is supposed to feel like.

'I thought I was in love once, but now I'm not sure that's actually what it was. It's easy to confuse other feelings for love.'

Something something. Forehead kisses and hugs and gentle touches.

Something something.

A quick drawing I did for Sherlock & Co.

listen to me! stop hating on alicent hightower for protecting her children. The same people that praise rhaenyra for her motherhood scorn alicent for hers. every time she looks at her children she hears otto warning her that if rhaenyra becomes queen, she will kill alicent’s children. she’s been in survival mode her entire life! her husband and her father are the king and the hand of the king and they both want someone different on the throne and she is forced in between. The queen in chains and all she wanted was her children to be safe.

Dark horses, revisited.

I was typing up a list tonight and something smacked me in the face.

If you haven't read @vidavalor's post about label on the wine bottle Crowley drinks from in the "Smitten" scene, read it first. They talk about all the horses that appear in S2. There is a red horse on the wine bottle, which refers us to to the relatively peaceful pre-war year of 1938, the dark horse statue in the shop that hold Crowley's sunglasses, Aziraphale is called a dark horse by Nina, and Jane Austin is Crowley's dark horse. And we may have missed out on more horses by not getting our wild west minisode.

Well, not all horses, I realised - we have missed one of the "dark horses," and its another direct reference to Crowley. Remember when Crowley does his infiltration of Heaven with Muriel, and he gets caught by Saraqael? They give us a quick call-back that they, too, once knew knew him as an angel.

Aaaaah! Now I wouldn't be a good amateur astronomer if I didn't know what that was! Of course I do, I just didn't put it next to all the other "dark horses" did I? Lets do that.

That's it, that's called a dark nebula, a big lot of dust and gas blocking off any light behind it. You've most likely seen this one before, it's quite famous.

Any thoughts on how this one fits in with the Starmaker, @vidavalor?

Oh, and I reckon we should add the Bentley in as the last dark horse, as it's Crowley's modern day steed, after all.

i’ve been obsessed with the tiktok trend where the person describes the good things happening in their life and ends it with “because the world didn’t end at [insert age]” and for some reason it reminds me of dazai and kyouka conversation during the guild arc when dazai is talking to kyouka on the plane.

the world didn’t end when he was 14 and neither should her’s. even if it felt like it should.
