BINT !!!!!!!!!!

pattern except i took out a bunch of rows to make him smaller

A compilation of art for my Dadbastian fanfic Coattails that I commissioned from the incredibly talented @tomoyoo! They went above and beyond with the details... Each picture feels as cozy and warm as a storybook, right? I'm so delighted with how they turned out!! Thank you for making each one so beautiful! 🥹🥹🥹

love how saul, who is on a need-to-know-basis about most aspects of walt and jesse’s lives, outwardly refuses to fall victim to their weird tension. every character in breaking bad is tying themselves in knots trying to understand the obscure dynamic between this cranky geriatric and human puppy and the one guy who could probably give them a solid answer crawls into the corner of the room and shoves his fingers in his ears anytime they have one of their lovers spats.

My. Sounds like a love story.

Interest Check: Isopuppy Plushies

Anyone interested in buying isopuppy plushies?

Either as a pattern or actual sewn-by-me toys. Because I have crocheted So Many Toys over my children, and I am thinking it's time to go back to sewing for awhile, but I should also stop rampantly making toys without homes to send them to. So. Casual interest check. I am absolutely making one for myself; this just determines if I should go through the effort of making an actual pattern so I can replicate the process.

Post-revolution Annie just posts random videos of Finnick and their son on the internet and they always go viral because people have only ever seen Finnick as playboy extraordinare and now they see Finnick being a dumbass father who's trying his best and it's very endearing and 90% of the time the camera pans out to an unimpressed Johanna or Katniss and it's great

A sort of throwaway line from Yakuza 0 has been haunting my brain recently and it's Sagawa telling Majima that he doesn't have to go back to the Tojo Clan. He's a civilian now. He could just... be a civilian.

Which like. Considering Sagawa's personality and his interactions with Majima, it initially kinda comes off as taunting instead of a genuine conversation. Especially since Sagawa just renegged on his deal to get Majima back into the Tojo Clan. He's just being a piece of shit (which Sagawa is-- to be clear)

But then. Sagawa's giving Majima the hit and he's pretty clear that Majima can say no. He's super adamant that Majima doesn't have to do it if he doesn't think he can.

But when you pair it with the previous line...

Sagawa didn't want Majima to go back to the Tojo Clan, did he?

At the very end of the game, Sagawa says him and Majima had some good times so I think he genuinely enjoyed having Majima around and wanted him to stay in Sotenbori (in less of a captive-type context).

And there are just so many implications with this?

Like. Sagawa is completely incapable of caring for people in a healthy, unselfish way. He can't even admit that he needs someone; he has to try and convince them to stick around because that level of vulnerability is incomprehensible to him.

But he also doesn't know how to treat the people he cares about. He's controlling. He's abusive. He gets violent really quickly. He's manipulative. He is literally holding someone hostage and using them for borderline slave labor.

He is incapable of forming positive relationships with people. All of his relationships exist on a hierarchy where someone has power over the other person.

There will always be the bird in the cage and the person who owns the bird.

actually it's kind of funny how people will say Alex's fatal flaw is that he 'doesn't ask for help' and that it's his determination to handle things on his own that leads to his deterioration and eventual death when his whole introduction to the present-day timeline was a very literal cry for help that simply went ignored

I have a minor grievance with Stampede to air out, brought on by listening to Adventures in Solitude by The New Pornographers which is of course the ultimate volume 14 of trimax song. In the last ep of Stampede, Vash and Knives both sprout one wing and fly completely normally. (It takes Vash a minute to get his balance but then he can fly fine.) And this seems to posit that like, they inherently only have one wing each, and that that’s normal and not a hindrance. Obviously the visual -wiggles hand- whatever is that if you put them side by side they make one whole entity with two wings.

However this is in reference to the final volume of the manga, in which they fly off into the sunset holding each other, each with one wing out for balance. But. But. Here’s my beef. Vash is the one who grabs Knives and takes off with him to save him from the Earth fleet/Chronica’s rage. Vash manifests a full ass set of angel wings. Except, in doing so, he’s burning through way too much of his power, and also he just got impaled in the gut by one of Knives blades, so he falters and starts to pass out. One of his wings falls apart. Knives then manifests a single wing to balance Vash’s remaining wing, and he does it with a look of terror and desperation- obviously he’s never done that before, and it’s easy to read into the moment that Knives is not used to trying to manifest something -useful- or -creative- with his blades. He just makes weapons. So his wing is strange, a weapon repurposed to a practical task, unwieldy. The thing is, Knives -can also generate feathers- like Vash but for all his bluster about how Vash never learned how to use his powers and Knives is so all-powerful with them, in the end, he has actually poured so much of his focus into becoming death incarnate - becoming Millions Knives - that he can’t even manifest the one thing it makes sense for feathers (his basic nature) to be: a wing.

And then the two of them fly away struggling with it, barely holding their forms and barely balancing each other, but finally crossing a bridge to work together to achieve something. Anything. Even if all they achieve is to escape (and do exactly what Vash always said: run away and wait for things to calm down, and then try to come back in peace).

So yeah my beef with Stampede is borrowing the visual of the one-winged angels and losing the meaning. I mean, I think Stampede creates some new and interesting meanings of its own - it’s leaning far more into the idea that the twins aren’t really whole on their own, that they need each other to be complete in a more ontological sense. But. As a filthy manga stan. I will always adore what Nightow did with these boys and their troubles, and how few words were needed to explore their feelings. So much of manga Knives is in his facial expressions. His anguish of loss and grief in the last volume is so damn palpable. Stampede’s only brushed over the surface possibilities of Knives as a character.

Selfshippers that have fankids with your f/o's, please feel free to talk about them in the replies/reblogs of this post. Anything at all that you want to share about them. As many details as you want or even just something as simple as their name.

Getting to talk about/brag about your children is a very special thing, and I don't know how many of you are as lucky as I am to have people that are willing to let you share these things with them, so I'm extending that courtesy to you all, whether you already have someone to tell about them or not :}

I dunno, I just think that we all deserve to be able to feel like proud parents sometimes.
