Little Zuko and little Azula love Lu Ten.
They love Lu Ten so much, they successfully smuggled themselves into Lu Ten's baggage when Lu Ten left to go fight.
Lu Ten, meanwhile, finds out that his little cousins snuck along for the ride way too late.
He knows they're gonna lose the fight.
He isn't about to let a couple of little kids die like that, murdered by Ba Sing Se soldiers too hyped up by war.
He may have been prepared to put his own life on the line, but he's not sacrificing Zuko or Azula's. But he also knows that if he flees the field with them, then Ozai will absolutely use that as an excuse to "punish" his own children.
Lu Ten does not want to know what that punishment entails. He is, in fact, more terrified by whatever it may be than the literal war raging outside his tent.
So.
So.
He swallows his pride for his country, his love for his father, and his dreams of being a successful general.
Jon being raised by his grandma means that he has old lady hobbies btw.
He enjoys knitting and embroidery, collects flowers to press and frame, grows plants anywhere he can fit them in his flat, is part of a book club (he hates most of the books they read) and a stitch 'n bitch, and he plays solitaire with real cards.
He baked a lot pre-avatar nonsense (that shit is time consuming, even in a nicer AU) and still has his grandmother's cribbage and chess boards and her vintage gramophone, even if he never uses it.
Jon has the spirit of an 80 year old woman and he's okay with that.
Some Byler flirting on the Wheeler's roof for BylerDay 2023🥰
I made a speedpaint for this👀
I recorded about 3,5h of footage of the process. I didn't record everything(like the bg, the hands, fixing mike's face etc.) and I cut some parts where I was messing up a lot or was just being super slow. Very impressed with myself for getting this done so fast and also for once recording most of it. I usually don't even bother recording because I am so slow🙃 (speeding up the footage really fucked up the quality at the shading part but oh well)
on the topic from the other day about shouting weird shit to artists on stage can we also stop telling them they saved our lives? especially by shouting it in quiet moments in the set. i get people mean it in a good way and you want to convey how much they mean to you but that’s a TON of emotional weight to throw at someone while they’re just trying to perform/do their job/live their life. how many times does pete have to say we saved our own lives for people to Stop saying that to them
crashes ur board meeting n drags u out by the collar but its fine bc youre the one always saying shit like "im looking for people i can use" ok lol. get used idiot
“betrayal” is a really strong word when Luke just asks Percy to go with him.
“hey come with me to make our lives better.”
Even the lashing out over Hermes is just them fighting and Luke knocking Percy to the ground. Neither of them is even actually hurt in their little scuffle.
being blindfolded, wrists tied behind your arched back and being mindlessly fucked on Satoru's lap while Suguru stands behind you, gently caressing your extended throat with gentle touches and watches you intently get ruthlessly slutted out by his former best friend.
anyone else think theres some kinda bizarre love triangle going on between the player and the dlc siblings cause thats all i took away from it lmao. cant wait for part 2 so i can take carmine on a true american date
Did you and Gren talk/befriend each other while you were in the dungeon, and what do you think your and Gren's reaction to seeing/hearing each other again would be?
Ah, Gren. Yes. The overly cheerful human had far too much to say to me during our days in that dungeon. Everyone deals with imprisonment and their impending doom in their own way, so I did not hold his attempts at conversation against him. But I did not answer him, either, as I was busy engaging in my own choices.
I wouldn't know him on sight, and he wouldn't know me, but if he spoke, I would recognize his voice.
I am not sure that would please me, since I only know him from the darkest period of my life. But if he and I both survived that dungeon, against all odds, I suppose that would be something we could be relieved about, together.
He was trying to be kind, in his rambling way. I should not like to find myself on opposite sides from him, after that.
i’ve talked before about the fact that i like imagining down then left kahmunrah having some fancy rich fashion designer husband, and originally i was going to have this come up in the fic for plot related reasons (and the husband was going to be napoleon because i thought that would be funny) but the reason i ended up taking it out is because i became more obsessed with the idea of kahmunrah and al meeting each other through octavius and ahkmenrah and then ending up having a thing together but i didn’t have space to leave it in the fic
