Thoughts about the wooden demon boy who thirsted for life

OK so I think early in his pirate career Stede latches on to the story of Pinocchio because it’s about a "fake" boy becoming “real.” And for Jim, Fang, and Archie the focus is on a "wooden" boy becoming "flesh."

Stede has masked his entire life, with his father and his bullies and his arranged marriage. He has buried his true impulses over and over (when he made himself look at that bloody goose, when he posed for portraits with a stranger he didn’t want to marry, when he said his life wasn’t monotonous, when he told Mary his crying was an owl). A puppet who wants to be human resonates with him because maybe he has become a puppet, a little bit. He's done what people manipulated him to do, and what he himself learned to make himself do, to get by and stay out of trouble. When he leaves home, Stede isn't sure who he will become or what will happen, but he knows he has to go in order to find out. He takes a leap of faith, and I think he hopes it will lead him to be more authentic to himself than anything he’s known lately.

To Jim, Archie and Fang, the story of Pinocchio is maybe the same, but it’s also about a “wooden” boy who is becoming “flesh.” Which is hilarious because it makes it a horror story, and Jim and Archie and Fang are all in on that joke! But also, the lives they have led, as an assassin trained from childhood, as career pirates, have led them to be tough and guarded (Jim takes a year to tell their best friend their favorite color; Archie isn’t phased by fighting to the death because that’s just how stuff goes; Fang is more raw and open, but also his persona is so different on raids vs on the Revenge that that juxtaposition is used to set up the whole cake-eating scene). Jim and Fang both remember a time when almost everyone on the Revenge was unguarded and soft most of the time. They wore soft clothes and sketched each other and played the lute and went on little day trips and talked about their feelings and kissed. Archie probably doesn’t know all those specifics but she can piece some of it together, I think. I think, to Jim and Archie and Fang, maybe the wooden boy story is still about unmasking and shedding learned behaviors, but instead of the focus on those behaviors being untrue, now the focus is on those behaviors being protective.

Side note: we don’t know this for sure, but Pinocchio could be the same story, mostly, in both tellings! Certainly they’re compatible with each other. Which maybe is a comment on what it’s like to put your story out in the world. People will make it their own and use the parts they need, and that’s the desired effect! That’s part of it! Look how much relief and hope it’s giving these folks to do these silly demon voices! Look how this fancy guy is enjoying reading this kids' story to his new family!

Also both s1e1 and s2e1 end with Pinocchio (if you include the post-credit tag) which I just think is neat.

Seagull feast

I think this is related. I was wondering if the seagull feast is maybe a goose callback?

Goose: baby Stede making himself go through the motions of seeming tough and masking to avoid mean comments from dad. Mostly this isn't successful, shown by baby stede’s flinch and dad’s lecture. Dad still mean, goose still not nice to look at. Flashbacks to the goose moment always come when Stede feels like he's weak or weird or wrong :(((( — but, I think this is changing in season 2!

Seagull: Shows that the crew have made themselves BE tough since the storm / almost killing Ed. They are much more effective at toughening up than baby Stede (not flinching at the sight of the dead bird but digging in!! eating it!!). They are more armored up than ever rn. They're eating a SEAGULL and not flinching even a little bit. They've gone full box-in-the-mind.

I love so much that Stede seems to see the bloody seagull and barely registers it (or jumping overboard, swimming, climbing up a ~!~ladder~!~ for that matter). Now he only wants to find Ed, and flashing back to his dad is the farthest thing from his mind, dead bird what dead bird who CARES I have important things to do. He’s got no time for his filters and protective layers and second guessing his instincts, he’s a real boy and he’s going to find Ed damn it!!!!! Ahhhh!!

Nine guns

There is so much to think about with Ed and Blackbeard and masks and armor. When Ed meets stede he’s been wanting to soften and take off his Blackbeard armor for a while, and within the first one hour and forty seven minutes :D of meeting, he does so, a bit, in the form of softer clothes. Ed lowers his guard over and over, in the bathtub scene, the kiss scene, etc, even renounces piracy (kinda ;), he is his real soft self and then when he gets his heart broken :(((((( he tries to suit back up with his emo makeup and nine guns, but he can't really get that armor to stick. Maybe because it's tied up in the Blackbeard persona which he was so ready to shed anyway???

I think I'm really glad he gets the head bonk and the cold shoulder in the antique shop and talking shit with Mary Read because they’re all little ways he’s getting little bits of protection/autonomy back?? in ways that feel authentic to Ed and not blackbeard, and not ed as part of ed+stede??? And then once he's that little bit safe he starts saying thank you to compliments from stede and yes I'll come back to the ship and gahhhhh

I have no conclusion and this is half formed, and I want to think/read about how the cake toppers and gravy basket fit in too, but really I just can’t wait for ed and stede and the crew to get more story time and art therapy. ✨🎶🎨

Yk… Well, initial text warning for period talk!

More of a personal post but recently I decided I wanted to go off hormonal based birth control (been on it since 16). And let me tell you, whether I’ve inherited endo from my mum, or if it’s (hopefully) just a readjustment period while getting my hormones back on track? Boy does it really FUCKING hurt. I’ve been exhausted and pain filled the last few days.

And I won’t lie it’s made me feel pretty pathetic.

But on the other hand? Fuck me I was in excruciating pain yet I still managed to force myself to work my bar/server job 5 days in a row. That’s feels INSANE to me right now.

I just wanted to brag a little about how both exhausted and cool I feel for putting up with it.

And I know I shouldn’t have to but goddamn I work minimum wage in a shit hotel job.

Shout out to all my period havers who HAVE to work through, and all of them who CANT work through it I love you all mwah

Anyways I still feel like shit and I’m exhausted, shout out to everyone who feels like the family guy death pose rn

#squish personal #squish cries about it #had to tap out of an 11 hour shift but goddamn I made it 6 HOURS IN #IM LIKE A FUCKING GREEK GOD OF PAINFUL PERIODS YEEAHHH #tw periods #periods #cw periods #cw personal #time of the month

𝓌𝑜𝓁𝒻 𝒶𝓅𝓅 ( laura harrier. cisfemale, she/her, stay alive + josé gonzález . ) that's MARA COLEMAN hanging in that gang of friends? i heard they’re a part of NO PACK. rumor has it they're TWENTY-SEVEN years old. currently, they’re posing as a NURSE at ST. BARNABAS HOSPITAL, and during dark you can always find them going home to THE BRONX by METRO.

hello hello! my name is casie and i’ll be writing for my sweet angel here, mara! i’m super excited to jump in and get to know you guys and your characters, so if you’d like to plot go ahead and give this a like or shoot me an im and i’ll come at you! (sorry this got super long; if you don’t feel like reading just jump to the first bolded section and read on from there! she’s been living in the bronx for a while is basically all you need to know from the top portion.

mara was born to a french-canadian mother and american father. her father had been on a business trip and her conception was a major secret oopsie. her father had a young family at the time and couldn’t bring her and her mother home with him but he stayed in very close contact and her mother even decided to give mara his last name.

she had a relatively happy childhood in montreal until her mom got sick and sent her to live with her father in new york when it became clear she couldn’t take care of her any longer. she was ten at the time and her dad had long since divorced his wife and been granted partial custody of his other kids.

she was a cheerful and charismatic kid and adjusted to her circumstances as well as could be expected. perfecting her english was a pain in the ass and her step siblings abhored her for a time, but she made friends at school and in the neighborhood and in less than a year she was fully functioning in her new home.

her mother passed away when she was fourteen and that trip back to montreal was her last. her mom had been a very loving and gentle person and her death had a massive impact on mara; she made it her life goal to be the same force of good on the world that she had been.

her dad got laid off during a recession and their living situation dipped quite a bit for a little while. his other kids opted to stay with their mom because their apartment wasn’t exactly located in a great location, but it was enough for mara. she had her own room and they ate well and had ac and heat and that was all she really needed.

she worked at a local restaurant as a waitress all the way through high school and joined as many clubs as she could. her grades were excellent and she had plenty of friends. she even managed to find time for a couple of dates over the years.

she went to nyu for nursing on a full ride via her applying to a million different scholarships and programs and, just like high school, she worked her ass off and got out near the top of her class.

she stayed with her dad for a couple years after that until she’d saved enough to have a good start at which point she found herself her own little apartment and moved out and that’s where she’s been ever since.

a series of unfortunate events:

she suffered a very severe case of ‘wrong place wrong time’ one particular night a few weeks ago. she’d been dead tired walking home from work because she’d forgotten her metro card and hadn’t brought her bike due to the rain.

what happened happened very fast and she still isn’t sure she has a very good grasp of it. once second she was walking home and the next she was knocked to the ground, a giant wolf on top of her with its teeth digging into her right thigh. she screamed, of course, but the alley was dark and the bars around were blasting music too loud.

there were two other people*** there, both managed to drag the wolf off of her and fight it back. she didn’t want to stick around; she’d realized they had weapons of their own.

she made it back to her own apartment, staunching the blood as much as she could by tying her jacket around her leg, and she managed to clean the wound and wrap it up before she passed out.

she had a pretty bad limp for about a week but the bite mark healed into a nasty scar. she chose not to think about it. a wolf in new york city? not a thing. nobody would believe her, even her dad who saw her bite wasn’t sure what to say about it.

her problem, of course, didn’t continue until the first full moon after that. she remembers a lot of pain, confusion, and fear. and then nothing. she woke up the next day in an alley with someone** by her side and her life’s been in a tailspin ever since.

personality/miscellaneous:

she’s an absolute sweetheart; she would literally give someone the shirt off her back (and you can bet your ass she’s given away coats and shoes before).

she’s very charismatic and typically pretty popular. she has a quiet strength about her, but not necessarily a toughness.

she has a cat named ami. she bounced into her home through the window one summer day and hasn’t left since (though recently ami’s been more than a little pensive about her presence).

almost always has her earbuds in playing lofi music on her trips to and from work.

she speaks fluent english and canadian french. her accent still leans french but it’s a lot milder than it used to be.

she is the best cook she knows and if she cooks for you, it’s definitely an act of love.

she picks up way more shifts than she probably should and always has a soft, somewhat sleepy presence when she isn’t actually working.

probably smells like vanilla and oranges quite a bit.

bisexual + panromantic

possible plots:

the two hunters that were there when she was attacked*** (1/2)

the wolf that caught her and managed to somewhat contain her when she first turned and who stayed with her until the morning; probably will be a sort of mentor and protector until she has a better understanding of what’s going on**

friends from high school, college, and/or work

a roommate

someone she’s met through her work in the er

neighbors

family friends

her step siblings (probably 2)

any romantic/ex-romantic plots (fwbs, exes, unrequited, will they won’t they, etc etc etc)

someone she helps regularly or vice versa (small things, like maybe they take turns buying each other coffee bc they run into each other at the coffeeshop a lot? idk)

i’m 110% down for brainstorming or filling any wanted connections you guys have open rn. i’ll probably try and get a formal page up this weekend!

I just saw your update on Ao3 - the one-shot was amazing :) I loved every single one of you Newtmas story and I was wondering if you'd like to write a second part of 'Husbands'? The one in which Thomas lost his memory and Newt is a sad little bean xx ily anyways

Husbands - part 2

AO3 version.

Hi! Sorry the Husbands update took so long, and even more sorry it doesn’t end with the second part x.x I sure hope it does with the third! Have a great day ^^

“It thought Newt could come over fordinner today.”

Thomas hummed, his eyes skimmingover the text on his phone, and it took him few seconds before he realized hiscompany around the table quieted down abruptly. He raised his head in questionjust to see his whole family staring at him expectantly.

“Uh, what?” he blinked and Ava’sface told him there was something big hanging in the air right now.

“Newt?” she repeated with raisedeyebrows and Thomas cleared his throat.

“What ‘bout him?”

The conversation they had in their flat was the last one so far andthey haven’t spoken since. Thomas had several weak moments where he wanted toat least text him, but he always stopped at hey,because he had no idea what to talk about. Reminiscing about the pastendeavours was out of the question when he didn’t remember even meeting the guyand he didn’t want to ask him about it because he stubbornly wanted to rememberby himself. But the memories didn’t come no matter how hard he stared at thepictures in his phone, and he was ashamed he couldn’t bring anything to his ownmarriage at the moment.

“Today’s dinner,” Ava repeated patiently.Was a little weird for her to be this meek, but Thomas counted it towards herbeing careful with the whole business around Thomas’ malfunctioning brain. “Ithought Newt could come over?

“Sure?” Thomas replied simply. Itwas no big deal, right? He wasn’t uncomfortable around the man. At least hethought he didn’t – the convo they had back then broke some ice so having himover in the house with his whole family that could eventually distract himcould do them good. It wasn’t like Thomas was nervous or anything (he thoughtthat while trying to force down a weird feeling tickling him in pit of hisstomach).

“You don’t mind?” Ava’s expressiondidn’t change and the rest of the family was peering at him with similar looks.

“No?” he let out and the tightanticipation in Ava’s face finally eased off.

“Alright then,” she relaxed backinto her seat and Aris with Teresa started to eat their breakfast again, likethey weren’t just staring at him for minutes like two vultures. “I thoughtlasagne is a good choice.”

“Yeah, whatever,” he mumbled,glancing back at his phone. Was it Newt’s favourite food or something? It was alittle annoying all of them could say much more about his own husband than hecould.

“Call him to come over, would you,”Teresa’s voice flew over the table to him with faked sweetness and he shot hera glare. She just smiled at him, but he damned well could see the horns peekingfrom under her long black hair.

“Yeah, whatever,” he repeated in alow grumble and after that they finally lefthim alone again.

***

Thomas [10:11]Come over tonight. Dinner time.

Newt [10:14]Sheesh, don’t be so friendly, my heart can’t take it.

Thomas [10:16]Was perfectly friendly and I even threw in a food invitation. You have no rightto say no to free food.

Newt [10:20]Crap, you won me over.

Thomas [10:22]Was there ever any doubt?

Newt [10:25]Hell, I dunno. Maybe like constantly.

Thomas [10:27]You’re so fun. Expect you at 5. Wear a tie.

Newt [10:30]A tie?

Thomas [10:32]Or a dress, I won’t judge.

Newt [10:34]I have my nicest at the cleaners’, sorry.

Thomas [10:37]A tie will do then.

Newt didn’t text back and Thomas tossedthe phone on the bed with a sigh. He didn’t know how to talk to him. He had noidea what to talk to him about either. It was like a person made of glass, likeapproaching it without the right tactics could shatter it, and it just didn’tmake any sense. The photos were clear as a day – they were a couple, they werein love, yet now a brick wall was standing between them.

He crashed next to the phone,bouncing on the mattress few times before the motion stilled, and buried hisface into the pillow. It was already difficult enough to get acquainted in hisjob he had no recollection of either, but people were at least helpful there.

Not that Newt wasn’t helpful. Well,quite frankly not that he was either. He just… existed. There, somewhere, intheir flat, alone. And Thomas left him there because he didn’t know what elseto do or what his husband thought orwanted. When he didn’t even remember meeting him, maybe it was uncomfortablefor Newt as well? They were basically strangers now.

He groaned and turned to his side,his sight immediately falling on the golden ring resting on his bedside table. Wearingit felt wrong, not wearing it felt wrong as well, so Thomas just left it there– on sight, but not on him. When talking to Newt a week ago, it was fine andThomas even thought being around the blond wouldn’t pose a problem. But thenext day and the day after, and basically all week later he just didn’t knowanymore. So he didn’t text him, didn’t call him and Newt kept the silence aswell.

And now the dinner. Newt seemedpissy over the texts as well. Was it because Thomas didn’t call him again? Ormaybe something at work happened. Or he just didn’t feel like going for dinnerwith the whole Thomas’ family. Or with Thomas specifically.

He blindly reached for the phone andstared at their conversation as if he could deduce something else there – acoded message or a sign. He found nothing.

Thomas [10:55] Are you mad at me?

He wasn’t sure what to expect afterasking that, but he still clicked send and waited. He expected no, of course not, because that waspretty much a standard when dealing with unpleasant topics while being in thegrey area. Thomas didn’t need the politeness, but quite frankly wasn’t surewhat exactly he required instead of it.

The phone finally beeped and Thomasstared at the answer for whole minute before the word reached him properly.

Newt [10:59] Kinda.

“Kinda,” he repeated and rubbed hiseyes. Another message beeped.

Newt [11:00]Kinda don’t even want to see you rn.

That stung and Thomas sat up with afrown. Okay, fine, so he played the dead bug, but he didn’t deserve this. Hedidn’t do anything wrong and if Newt wanted to talk to him, he could have,nobody was stopping him from taking a phone and sending a text or call.

Thomas [11:02] Tough luck, you are invited and I will be there.

Newt [11:07] Wellthen. Tell Ava I am busy.

Thomas [11:08] You tell her.

Newt [11:09] Fine.

Thomas cursed and tossed the phonenext to him again. What the hell was wrong with that guy? He was like hot andcold from Katie Perry and he hated that song.

Ava was not going to be pleased.

***

He didn’t see Ava the wholeafternoon. Basically he didn’t really see anybody that much – Teresa went out,Aris was in his room playing videogames and Ava nowhere to be found. He roamedthe house like a ghost, not entirely sure what to do with himself, until henestled in the living room and turned the TV on to some dumb cooking show.

It took about five minutes ofwatching the food being made, which reminded him of today’s dinner probablyhappening in less festive manner, until he grabbed phone again.

Thomas [14:47] What exactly is your problem anyway?

Newt [14:48] Ohwait, let me think.

Thomas grumbled. This was literallyleading them nowhere. He gave Newt five minutes and when no other text came, hedialled his number with a childish need to at least tell him he acted like ajerk for no purpose whatsoever.

Newt picked up on tenth ring,seemingly wanting Thomas to give up, and his what sounded like a death sentence.

“Why did you put me on your goddamnshit list?” Thomas skipped the pleasantries as well and Newt on the other sideof the line scoffed. Alright, so they were already in the arguing phase, whichwas just great. He wondered how often they argued normally.

“Bloody hell, Thomas, do you reallyneed me to spell it out for you?” his accent was more prominent when he wasangry, Thomas noted. “I’m in no mood for that right now.”

“Well, I am,” Thomas shot back. “Iinvited you for dinner and you turned it into a shit show, so what’s up?”

“Youinvited me for dinner?” Newt snorted over the line. “Ava made you.”

“What difference does it make?”Thomas rolled his eyes and heard Newt whisper Jesus under his breath. “Just come for the stupid dinner!”

“Oh yes, now you definitely changedmy mind,” Newt uttered and Thomas heard door being shut somewhere in thedistance. Was Newt out somewhere? “For what even? So we would glare at eachother over lasagne?”

“Well, if you keep this up wedefinitely will glare any given moment,” Thomas said sternly. “Are you mad Ihaven’t called you over a week? Is that it?”

Only a sigh came from the other sideand Thomas pinched the bridge of his nose. He didn’t want to argue. He didn’twant to make a drama out of it, no matter how weird or uncomfortable or forcedit would feel in the beginning. He didn’t text him over a week because thewords just didn’t come, not because he didn’t want to see him ever.

“Look, I didn’t know what to tellyou,” he dropped the voice lower. “I just don’t know how to talk to you cuz itfeels like you expect me to be somebody who I don’t know how to become.”

“What?” Newt finally spoke andThomas took a deep breath.

“It’s just…” he tried, but the wordswere stuck. “Just like. I am not him, you know.”

Silence.

“The guy you married,” he tried toelaborate clumsily. “I don’t know how I to become him so you’d be fine with itand-,”

“Don’t do that,” Newt interruptedhim quietly.

“But why?”

“Because that’s not how it works,”the voice over the line sounded sad. “And because I don’t want that.”

“Me?” Thomas croaked out.

“What?”

“You don’t want me?” anymore his conscience supplied and ithurt. Yes, he didn’t remember meeting him, he didn’t remember falling in lovewith him, and marrying him and cutting the cake at the reception and makinglove to him in the bed, but he knew he would one day, or maybe never, butcutting him off completely was just… not it. Not right. Not ever.

Newt’s voice hitched on the otherside and it was painful. The silence stretched between them infinitely, onlythe faint noise of the cooking show was filling the background.

“I want you,” Newt finally said.“Bloody hell. I want you so much here at home with me, you have no idea. But Ican’t have you and it’s just too much.”

“Who said you can’t have me?” Thomascountered immediately.

“Tommy.”

“I haven’t said that,” Thomasinsisted.

“C’mon, you know it’s like-,”

“Come for the dinner,” he didn’t letNewt finish because it scared him to hear it’snot like that now or it’s not likeyou love me now since that bullshit was way over the line. “Please.”

Another sigh.

“Yeah, okay,” Newt replied faintly.“Okay.”

Thomas spent the rest of the afternoonin front of the TV, while clutching his phone close to his chest.

***

When the doorbell rang, Thomaswasn’t surprised nobody went for the door, but expected him to do it. He didn’tcomplain when getting up from the sofa, and when approaching the door, he stillfelt reasonably calm and controlled, until he grabbed the handle and the entrywayrevealed his lost husband in a leather jacket and jeans.

“Look who’s here,” Thomas welcomedhim and Newt offered a small smile while raising a hand with bottle of wine init.

“I brought a treat,” he let Thomastake the bottle before walking after him inside of the house, automaticallyputting his jacket in the closet without further prompting. He moved around theplace with ease and Thomas had to remind himself Newt was part of the familyand not a random guy who came over for dinner, no matter how alien it looked. Whenhe started heading towards the living room, Thomas’ hand grabbed his wrist andstilled him.

“Wait a bit,” he said quietly,pulling Newt back to the hallway, and the blond went relatively easily. He hadstrange expression though, something akin to fear, and Thomas hoped he would beable to get rid of it someday.

“What is it?” Newt prompted him,when Thomas kept quiet even after they stood in on the spot for a minute incomplete silence and Thomas was still holding Newt’s wrist in his hand,squeezing it gently.

“Thanks for coming,” he saidfinally, hesitantly looking up to Newt’s confused face. “I really appreciateit. And sorry for not calling for so long.”

“I didn’t really expect you to,”Newt commented in a low voice. He didn’t move away though. “It’s fine.”

“It’s not really fine,” Thomasinsisted. The conversation they had over the phone earlier today still rang inhis head, and he didn’t know if it was guiltiness that kept urging him to makeamends or not. “I don’t want you to be alone.”

“Oh please-,”

“No, I mean it,” he stopped Newtfrom pulling away. “I want to know you better too.”

The blond shook his head with asigh.

“Look, if this is about the phonecall we had…” he vaguely gestured with his free hand, but then no other wordscame out of him. Thomas hummed and let go of his wrist just to slide his handlower to brush against Newt’s fingers.

“I hate the thought of you beingsad,” he mumbled unhappily, looking at Newt’s long, slim fingers he gentlytouched one by one. Newt didn’t move his hand away, but his breath hitchedseveral times during it. Thomas decided he kinda liked the sound. “I just-,”

“The ring,” Newt stopped himsuddenly and Thomas glanced back to his face.

“Huh?”

“You’re wearing the ring,” the blond’seyes were glued to Thomas’ left hand and for a fraction of second Thomasthought Newt would freak out and leave. He took the ring shortly before thedinner party started and it was more of an attempt of how he would feel with it– he absolutely planned not to leave it on. But it felt good, like it belongedon his finger (which was true anyway), so he left it there because it was hisanyway. Nobody from the family commented on it, if they even noticed.

“Well. Of course,” he let Newt togently touch it, like it was the most fragile thing in the world. “It’s mineafter all.”

“Yes, but-,”

“I want to leave it on, if you’realright with it,” Thomas didn’t let him say anything and Newt took a shudderingbreath before nodding.

“I’m alright with it,” he concludedquietly. It made Thomas feel a lot better about the whole day.

wow when bhalla was like “a pregnant woman doesnt want riches or possessions... she only wants her husband’s embrace” my gutter brain almost thought he was going to give them a bed or some fertility thing like a creep. but that thing he said already made my creep radar go crazy

you’re literally the worst my dude the worst

deva is such a firecracker holy shit i LOVE HER

ewww that is so gross. dude i will break your hand. i will break it and set it on fire. i am not joking.

well you did my job deva so anyways.... ufos more like identified flying fingers amirite... heh heh

but didnt ancient india invent plastic surgery anyways i dont see whats the huge deal here

i cant believe im saying this but devasena would make a much better ruler than sivagami. in fact i personally think she would even be better than baahu. girl’s got her priorities right

its interesting how baahu has a moon pottu and bhalla has a sun pottu. one would think the positions would have been reversed. maybe they wanted to show that baahu was more nurturing and stuff. but like. its sunlight that grows plants? anyways.

NOICE. COOL COOL COOL COOL COOL NO DOUBT NO DOUBT NO DOUBT NO DOUBT.

THERE GOES THE HEAD.

wow no you got it all wrong. “scorned the laws”? dont you know the highest form of patriotism and responsible citizenry is criticism!! what the literal fuck, why are you like this. i loved you so much why would you do this

wow baahu busting out some engineering skills right there. why is this the first time im seeing this. most of the times hes like a big fuck you to physics. but like engineering ex machina i suppose

man hes so tall he has to bend down so the lady can pat his head LMAO idk this is adorable. this reminds me of the time i was scrolling though the baahubali tag and someone called the beefcake that is prabhas a “smol bean”. wtf tumblr

omg bhalla let a guy live. so not cool mah dude

baahu has such a magnificent mane. he has better hair than me what the hell

bhalla is so fucking rude... how can you choke your actual dad... granted he’s the reason why youre like this

wow and treating a disable person like that... why are you literally so vile

why is he suddenly turning on his son... THIS IS HIGHLY SUSPECT

OH MY GOD I KNEW IT. SEE. I WOULDNT HAVE FALLEN FOR THAT. DUDE WHYYYYY

oh my god this is such a tire fire what the heck

man i would have said yes and just run far far away if i was kattapa

its so sad to watch this when you know its all going to end horribly

oh my god “as long as you’re by my side no man has been born yet to kill me” well this line killed me so

cant you follow your moral code instead! is your allegiance to the throne so important! an innocent man cant go through punishment like this its wrong

oh my god this is so sad

also uhm i just realised that baahu has wonder woman bracelets

that was the most dramatic death scene ive ever watched. it gave me the chills.

WOAH bhalla is SO messed up in the head good god

look this is all well and good but you should really wash and disinfect your hands before touching babies... as i always like to say, common sense is not so common

aw baby promise that is so cute

omg he called him grandpa that is so adorable

omg devasena i love you so much

okay but dont forget your adopted parents too

they dont have weapons! they cant succeed by their will alone! what i would do is create like an elite task force and infiltrate the place. boi you need some strategy. a map of the citadel at least

holy shit devasena is not to be messed with my lady literally carrying a dude’s head

that is so fucked up man the people behind this movie went so hard. they didnt have to but they went so hard

wow that was smurt

okay where is avanthika though dont tell me she stayed home

DEVA NO. WIELD YOUR SWORD BABY COME ON YOU’RE STILL STRONG

that is so.... creative...

HE JUST DID THE WONDER WOMAN SHIELD BOOSTED JUMP

omg i love the grandpa and grandson duo SO CUTE when he calls him “thatha” man grandparents are wonderful my thatha is so excited for me to get a job and i havent even entered uni yet (okay side tracking here)

AVANTHIKA YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

is his own classic tyrant statue gonna kill him cause i think it will. im calling it now everyone. poetic justice okay

aw her future daughter in law protecting her

oh yea the statue didnt kill him sadly

shes stepping on his face omg the symbolism

ripping out his heart omg how grosser can you get

omg is that... a blood abhishekam.... i have no words..

YAASS GAUNTLETS (but seriously... wonder woman)

Avanthika looks gorgeous and aw its his Ma

thats... baahu thats water pollution you cant do that

wow poetic justice huh

that was... amazing wow

2019 Summary of Art

It’s easy to say that 2019 wasn’t really my best year, in terms facing online drama and IRL problems, but it doesn’t mean I didn’t improve my craft. Sure my mental health may have pressured me as I try to get things done, but not everything can be ready in a week when you do work for others as well. It’s also important to take breaks when necessary, in order to take care of yourself.

The death of my younger brother really have took a huge toll on me and my family’s state of minds, it actually ended up changing our lives. Let’s just say, it hasn’t been the same; waking up to not hear any screaming, having snacks filled in the kitchen cabinets, sodas in the fridge and not in hiding. Funny how traditions you dealt with on a daily bases, just… vanishes…

There were also moments, where I doubt on whether I can even reach the goals I want to achieve, as a content creator. Despite all those troubles though, I still managed to pull through, and continued on trying to improve. IDK when Gravity Rider will get back into the spotlight again, until that happens, it’ll continue to still be in development ’till ready. Hopefully with some extra help from my boyfriend, since he’s actually doing a binge play through of the entire Kingdom Hearts saga rn (which is the main inspiration for the series), lol.

I’m actually proud on how my anatomy has been getting better, with slightly more realistic bodies, heads, and poses. It’s been nice to get out of “same-face syndrome hell”, with the OCs I’ve been making too. I even ended up with a few project ideas I plan to make, to get back into webcomics again. There are still a few things to I need to work on; such as complex backgrounds, anatomy placements, and maybe some depth perception. Just need to study more on actual photos of places and people.

Some obsessions had phase through this year as well, such as reading through most of Junji Ito’s works, getting into Splatoon, that weird Lilo and Stitch binge I had after going to Maui, and getting back into Pokemon. Even got myself into new series’ such as Fire Force and Hazbin Hotel.

I’ve also managed to get a few goals done for this year, such as opening for commissions, made a merch store, and providing speedpaints. I’ve also been thinking on how I could branch out my videos and maybe do some commentary on certain topics (like every generic artist would…); but I’m curious on what you guys would like to see, feel free to give suggestions if any.

My resolutions for the upcoming year would probably be trying to stay more positive; it may be somewhat impossible since you can’t avoid the drama that happens online, especially when it comes to media franchises, but hearing my online superior talking about them really affected my mental state, and I really don’t wanna go through it again… Another one would probably be me trying to be more active and try to talk to people more, I can’t help that I always have a hard time speaking out what’s on my mind, but I at least wanna share my thoughts with everyone.

Despite all the trouble and pain me and my family got through, I’m truly thankful to everyone who came by to give their support. The fact that I have nearly hundreds of people following me, not only loving my art, but willing to stick by and watch me grow as an artist, really means so much. I want to do all that I can to keep inspiring others, as well as help them. Even if I’m not as big as all the other artists out there, I’ll keep striving forward ’till my dreams have been made. Thank you all for being with me this far, I really appreciate it. :3

mkay i am All Done with the islands im gonna warp back to the tower and mark the glowy thing this time

oh they just look like mushrooms?? well i'll go pick them i guess

OH OMG IT'S A FAIRY FOUNTAIN SKDFGH YES!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!

omg the hinox fight music plays nooooo rip m having eventide flashbacks

oh my god! wow! okay! this one takes more than two hits!!

it's lightning too i can't even use my bomb arrows what did i get myself into........

OMFG HE IS TEARING OFF HIS OWN RIBS TO THROW AT ME LSKDJFHG

oh the lightning is a hinox thing. Great i only have metal weapons rn

aaaand he ran away with the dawn. ok

oh dude this shrine is cool you have to like play putt putt golf hahaha

OMG IM GOING TO CRY

i found another memory and it's of zelda saying she's prayed all her life like her father wanted and she still can't make the gods hear her......im so sad for her

there's nothing wrong with you my sweet daughter!!!!

this is cool tho the talk of her father and mother and grandmother and link's father

they have families and lives, it's so neat, i wish i knew more about them

tho ofc almost everyone who knew and loved link is long dead now......

ah. i paraglided her, but

to get out i have to bypass all these flying guardians. Great

NO SKDFGJH ONE SAW ME

so its laser grazed me and only took one heart and i was like thats it?! i'll fight you!!

then i got hit directly and it nearly killed me so now im running

NOOOO THERE'S A LYNEL HERE JESUS GOD

I JUST WANTED TO GET TO THE SHRINE AND I RAN RIGHT INTO HIM SDLFGJH

god and a blue hinox in the way too Why

omg i unlocked a monster shop lskjghf now i will see him in villages at night!!!

ah the shrine is on top of this huge rock pillar, how do i...?

maybe i can glide from a nearby cliff!!

okay...okay...it's not sheer rock, there must be resting places, if i glide form here maybe i can do it

i can't glide from where i'd like bc of the hinox (:

I MADE IT

they better not make me solve a fucking puzzle too

ah good they didn;t

FLAMEBLADE thats so badass

oh god another blue lynel

maybe it's even the same one

my dude i just wanna travel....i promise, i promise

FINALLY the akkala research lab!!!

dude better have some sick duds or something for me i swear to god

the music in here is lit i love it

there's a...blue glowing statue

looks like something out of the tower of the gods awww

haha it's damaged! poor thing

this old man like "show me the wounds on your body you suffered" bro are you asking me to strip

oh my gOD his electric guitar pose thing

jesus chrkjrgh

EVERYONE IN THIS GAME IS A GIANT HAM

im doing a quest where you have to carry fire

AND IT STARTS RAINING

this game has made me LOATHE rain! i thought that was impossible and yet!!!!!

im running out of map stamps :/ why would you give me a world this big and limit me to only 100...?

aaaand it's raining

and my ONLY TORCH BROKE god i keep accidentally using it to hit things!!!

FINALLY i did it!!!!! god that was so tedious

oh my god this guy could make me such amazing gear, but i don't have the materials </3

now to check out this maze building it looks super weird and i can see a shrine in it......

how the fuck are you even supposed to get there i hope my glider can take me

lovely. the wind's blowing against me and i see flying guardians from here

noooo they're EVERYWHERE and i have to do a MAZE oh my god

i can solve it on my map and mark the dead end routes, fortunately

i still kind of want to explore those routes lol

oh they're so bare......maybe not

if i miss something like a korok seed or whatever a guide will direct me back here later

or...maybe not

i mean im next to the shrine but it's surrouned on all sides by wall?

bet it's too tall to climb even with potions and my gear

ooh or if it isn't those lfying guardians will fuck me up in a snap

YES i got lucky and found my way in from the top

or no i found...a sword, great, how do i get into the SHRINE

YES here it is

dude i got an ATK+ helmet!! i got GEAR!!!! YES

AAAAH I GOT ATTACKED AS SOON AS I GOT OUT

nope fuck this im fast traveling. goodbye forever, maze island

geez i guess that must be nearly it for this province then i got one shrine left i think and then i could........go to death mountain?

tbh kinda tempted to go back down to lake hylia but i'll pass for now, i want more Plot

i suppose i didn't do akkala beach but it's small and remote so i'm ok with that for now - i can clean up the endgame stuff later when better guides are out

there's a stable next to this shrine!! yay!!!!!!

omg there's a goron here!!!!! hi!!!!!!!!!!!!

finally hit 10k rupees

ooh this guy is talking about a legendary sword...GIMME MY MASTER SWORD

tbh i'll be disappointed if there's no special quest to get it tho like you just...find it? kinda weak

AAAH I CAN CHANGE MANES HERE........jemma has a floral mane now ;w;

too bad i didn't find this before, i can't ride her up death mountain, unfortunately - it's so much faster to fast travel, and she might get hurt, and i'll have to get on and off of her so much... ):

oh wait, i haven't explored the lake yet! i forgot! i can take her there <3

all the guardians here scared the shit out of me but they arent functional, thank god

NO FUCK THERE ABSOLUTELY IS A LIVE GUARDIAN HERE.....fuck fuck i can't KILL them

omg no i see TWO of them

if it was just one i might try my luck, but...no way

i'm sure in the future i'll be able to get more guardian arrows but right now i have, like, 4? so i can't waste them

and when i have the guardian armor that'll help too but. not Now

aaah i found somsone whose ancestors died at that tower...apparently the last stand was made there at what used to be the fortress after the castle fell ;_; and he wanted to pray there but it's too dangerous and i am AD oh my god

i can see the death mountain tower and a shrine from the akkala tower, but i can only reach the shrine by gliding. the tower is surrounded by (UGH) snow

lol the shrine is by a stable too

AAAH kass is here!!!!!!

AWWW he said the song he's playing was used by the ancient hero to call his horse!! gonna cry omg

bro lmao there's an ostrich running around here what kinda shenanigans

oh my god this dried lava under the tower is SO COOL it's so BIG and i feel so SMALL

ah, eldin tower - so this is the eldin province

wow the first stops are quite a ways up on this one! lucky i have so much stamina

ooooh my gosh the eldin map is HUGE and FULL OF LAVA im not sure im Prepared for this!!!

lol in a fun twist the temperature gets HOTTER as i gain altitude. ohhh man

i guess...i wanna do plot. i'll try to make it to goron city, and come back and explore later

when i have more fireproof elixirs lol rn my inventory is packed so i could only buy 3

oh my god i can't use wooden weapons, my arrows turn into fire arrows as soon as i get them out, even the loot will catch fire if you leave it too long, this is Intense

OH MY GOD A STONE TALUS BUT IT'S LIKE, MAGMA-Y

okay this is cool i wish i hadn't waited so long

lmao i accidentally drank a defense elixir and erased my fireproofness early OOPS

omg you can't use bomb arrows either dkgjhdfg the heat makes them explode instantly

unfortunately the only thing that makes a dent is ice arrows and i just don't have enough rn....BUT I WILL RETURN god that is so cool okay anyway

all right......i really like this region. normally i'm a water person, ESPECIALLY in zelda games, but rain and lightning have been nothing but a pain in my ass since i started playing. maybe i was ready for some #Heat

HA there's the fucking blood moon good thing i DIDN'T kill him it would have been erased right after

the blood moon looks kinda cool when the air is already like this tbh but i still hate it

like on a gameplay/story integration level it's a cool way to explain monsters coming back

but also im angry on behalf of hylians and everyone else like

no matter how hard they fight every month it comes back, it's all in vain

the music here is super cool, also

omg i found a little camp of gorons!!

ooh, a hylian...and he'll give me fireproof armor for lizards OOOO:

hahahaha...they can't dig up ore because of a lizard monster

my heart twisted, fondly

geez i wish i had time to catch some lizards...........

i caught a few but not 10, and i only have one elixir left, since i used one early. i guess if it comes to it i could try to make another but

YES okay i did it!! good

and armor i now have!!

altho i hope i don't run out of armor inventory space that would SUCK what with all the work that goes into collecting and upgrading it tbh

LOL i hit an emu or ostrich or whatever it is and the meat it dropped immediately became roasted oh my god

HOLY FUCK THE MOUNTAIN IS ERUPTING

NOW THIS SHIT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OH MY GOD

running for cover!!!! almost dying!!!!!!!!! good times im so happy

it's like getting to do it the very first time all over again

oh my god i just got a divine beast cutscene as i got to goron city i am quaking in my boots it is SO BIG

and now i'm out almost 3k rupees but i have full fireproof armor!

oh my god you can get a goron massage at the inn

"it doesn't hurt a bit" yeah i bet

[cue lots of screaming]

omg theres a gerudo lady sleeping here!! are you not on fire?!?!

SO IS PAINTER DUDE...?

omg they must have elixirs ldfjkgh

"abandoned mine - do not stray from path! both literally and figuratively" slkdfjgh what does that MEAN...

aw, they sleep on beds of hoat coals

man this shrine im doing is so complex!! like many multiple rooms, it's neat

i got like 9 orbs now i need to find somehwere to trade them in

omg so im lookin for the goron who went to get the stuff out of the vault and HE'S TALKING IT'S SO WEIRD it still always shocks me

how do i..? my bombs don;t work, so

OH OMG I CAN USE THE CANONS i thought maybe you had to wait for permission lol

poor goron he's scared and trembling...haha just like the ones in the fire temple. bye

HE TALKED IN HIS OPENING CUTSCENE...IM SO GLAD

yunobo! aww he's precious i love him

i suspect this is the area where i'll have to get inside the divine beast tbh bc of all the cannons

lol almost yped it with one n. shh

the embers here are so pretty...next time i paint hotland i'll remember them

i wanna paint THIS, tbh

like, anything. from this game. god Damn

ooooh a daruk statue

omg IM GETTING A MEMORY YES!!!!!!

I LOVE HIM

I LOVE DARUK

WHO PATS BACKS TOO HARD AND PUNCHES OUT ROCKS

oh my god he had the same kind of barrier that yunobo put up around himself are they related!!!! im gonna cry i love them so much

yep hahahaha the next words out of boss's mouth!

oooh he has the blessing, that's what the barrier is

yunobo's at eldin bridge...? that's MILES away

OH!!! omg my brother reminded me there are two in tp hahahaha so i guess i got them mixed up

so where is eldin's bridge actually......

too bad i cant swim up lavafalls lol

i found a minecart and put it on the track but bombs dont make it go and i can't magnesis it when its under my feet??

AHA, STASIS

okay that was super fun but i hate beating up my weapons like that

there's a shrine here but the glowing orange blends right in with this lava, i nearly missed it

AWWW yunobo's gonna be the canonball! bless him

omg is he gonna follow me!!!! I HAVE A FRIEND

IM GONNA CRY FINALLY IM NOT ALONE <3333

oh god okay here we go i guess??? im so scared

like. its so big.i cant impress upon anyone who hasnt played it. how big it is. and the mountain is so much bigger and i am so small. i keep saying that but i'm like. DWARFED by this thing, it's truly incredible

ohhhhh an escort mission.......and stealth, which im Bad at. man, the elephant was a lot cooler so far

AWW omg we snuck past the first one and he went "hee hee!" and it was so cute i love him so much

he stands at attention so quick when i do the stop whistle please please i love him

also i feel like i recognize SO many voices in this...i gotta imdb it later

the voice acting isn't even anything extraordinary, it's like, not awful but nothing jaw dropping

but the fact that they speak blows my mind every time

i used to fantasize about that in a "fff yeah right the day after never" kinda way and here we are.....

omg i got stuck and talked to him and it's like. what he said was completely useless but it's like having a companion!!! oh god i've been so lonely

oh god i looked up too far and saw the beast and it is. so big. i know i keep saying this but it is gargantuan. it's HUGE. i can't believe how big it is

lol i couldnt figure out why the trail ended and spent half an hour wondering what i was supposed to do

turns out i should have been firing at the divine beast this entire time so i gotta go back and start over and walk up the trail again LMAO

at least you only have to clear the sentries once

ah FINALLY im inside!

DARUK IS TALKING TO ME ;_;

HE ALWAYS KNEW LINK WOULD BE BACK im so sad. i feel human emotion

oooh it's all dark in here

and blue flame!!

ohhhhh man i love these 3D maps

OH MY GOD YOU CAN TURN IT

it's so big. oh my god

wait it isn't hot in here! i can use any item i want!

god i forgot how the music becomes creepier the closer you get

i can't believe this...turning the whole dungeon...some stone tower temple shit

ooh okay still hot OUTSIDE of the divine beast...too bad

noooo i found the cockpit pod thingy...like are their skeletons just decaying in there or

ooh boy oooookay last one here we GOOOO...

"PAIN IN THE CRAG" LOL NINTENDO PLS

omg daruk cheering me on as i fight ;______;

awww that wasnt too bad ive fought WAY worse enemies just roaming around on the map

oh ew GROSS

DARUK ;_;

me after daruk sent link away: aaaww i love him but that wasn't as gut-wrenching as mipha's

me after daruk saw yunobo from a distance and they waved at each other: literally actually crying, there are tears really on my face

WHY COULDN'T MIPHA SEE HER FAMILY FROM A DISTANCE, HUH

if it doesn't happen i swear to god i will draw it if i have to

oooh boss is talkin about the master sword

it's in a forest - that's gotta be the lost woods or i'll eat my pointy green hat

but i mean. if you just find it. there's gotta be some kinda quest or build up

wow, i'm finally at the tippy-top opf death mountain...i feel like i could go anywhere from here

omg i flew to a shrine and i have to complete a training thing to get in??? oh my god

oh no. i have to climb the thing. #why

aww that wasn't too bad. did it on the first try

i found the end of the map on "land" ... it's a deep gorge and you die if you go too far down, probably even if you're on foot

but there's land beyond that, even on the map, so it doesn't feel as freaky as just MEGA WIND on the ocean

why is there a hinox EVERYWHERE i try to go. why.

dude theres a giant skeleton of some sort on my map...omg

probs a hinox there too tbh

...wait a second.

i'm at a HOT SPRING

i recover hearts by swimming, so maybe i could fight this hinox...

AND i have daruk's protection, three whole charges, two fairies, my hearty radish food, and mipha's grace.........i can do it!!

wow okay and i just used up the grace and one fairy on this bokoblin camp so nevermind

tbh i don't even like fighting them...i suck at combat and the rewards are almost never worth the fight

okay but i literally could get anywhere from death mountain i think and i do mean LITERALLY that isn't hyperbole, assuming i had infinite stamina. damn. thats a Big Mountain

gonna go investigate the skeleton

there's monsters under it! i am standing above them on the ribcage and cheesing it with bombs

also it says eldin great skeleton was this a dragon.........

was this in the trailers or was it somewhere else?

standing inside the skull of this thing

i realize just how BIG the dragons are

like. damn

everything in this game makes me feel like an ant

lol this is the First Ever shrine i'll have to come back to not bc i can't figure it out but bc i ran out of fucking arrows. incredible

the problem is i can't really explore here bc my fire armor hasnt been improved at all, my defense SUCKS

i just died bc i found a talus lol and it two-shotted me and like. i have a pretty good amt of hearts, here

also next time im exploring first i feel like i'll never know if ive seen everything or not bc i'm all lost and don't know what i looked at and what i didn't :/

i hate to like, leave it and say i'll come back to it bc i know i probably won't, but games are supposed to be fun! and attempting to explore this area with all my armor at 3 defense is like. not fun. dying over and over: Not Fun

i feel like seeing or doing something new!!

what i need is my own copy of the map on the computer so i can just mark off the areas i wanna explore later

oooh i found an interactive map!! which i can't. screencap and annotate for myself, but

oh well, it's too much trouble to find one, and ps would be really slow rn anyway since i havent used it in awhile

however this map DOES have memory locations, so i'm gonna grab a few of those

okay NOW i found a shrine idk how to do. tbh i can't be fucked rn, i wanna go get memories

holy fuck the first memory i unlocked had like a PILE of dead monsters link just fucked up, including a silver maned lynel, which my ass has NOT killed yet, holy shit

ONWARD

HOLY SHIT the one i just got was in the trailers!! zelda crying on link ;_;

i'm glad tbh bc i was lowkey like...well i know you get her out of the castle bc she cries on you later

but no!!!!

also he strains of zelda's lullaby, them being covered in mud, and link's master sword! MAN

i can't get to anymore atm so i guess i decide where i go next...

tbh i wanna do gerudo next like my brother which means going thru lake hylia!! so it will be a long time before more plot, i guess

ah! the blood moon! gonna warp to the stable and watch it with that guy

lol he's all beautiful moon tonight, eh, finally the blood moon

UM HE'S FREAKING ME OUT HE JUST STARTED RUNNING AROUND AND SAID HIS BLOOD WAS BOILING???

"IT'S SO GLORIOUSLY RED, ARISE MONSTERS" WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

and he acted totally normal after!

"oh you were researching the blood moon too?" WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM YOU FREAK

yep goodbye im leaving

upgraded my armor as much as i could with the fairy, STILL can't afford anti-guardian tech, am actively dying without it, will attempt gerudo and/or lake hylia tomorrow

6 Things You Need To Stop Doing In Your Engagement Photos

There’s nothing I love more than when my friends tell me they’re getting married. I so look forward to spending money on an outfit, hotel, travel, and gifts—the thought of spending a cool two grand on the wedding weekend alone just delights me. Being hit by such crippling loneliness that I'm left crying into my wine at the end of the night, only to be consoled by the bartender (until his shift ends) gives me life. And the real high point of my life is the day after wedding hangover buffet where I can decide between gorging myself to death on bacon or inhaling the not-so-short stack of pancakes (spoiler alert: I choose them both). And what brings about this beautiful chain of events? THE ENGAGEMENT SHOOT. Engagement photos are the newest way to showcase your love and devotion for the person you want to spend the rest of your life with and are also the reason why I drink. It’s not enough that I have to watch you gush over your #mcm on Instagram every goddamn day, but now you want me to have a permanent memento of your love and, like, what? Hang it on my fridge? The most sacred spot in my home aside from my bed and the couch? You monster. I have enough engagement photos hanging on my fridge rn, judging me with their happiness every time I contemplate eating a jar of icing and drinking a bottle of wine for dinner. I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life. So if you want me, the person who will be permanently stationed at the open bar and will probably drunkenly make out with your fiancé’s much younger brother, to come to your wedding then here’s the six things you need to stop doing ASAP.

1. Wearing Matching Outfits

Honestly, I understand the thought process behind matching outfits for the engagement photos. You’re trying to send a message like, “we’re a unit now” and, “I have forfeited all of my individual thoughts and opinions to be with this person.” It’s v romantic. But when I see two adults in cream colored ensembles posing on a beach all I can think is "siblings posing for the family Christmas card." It looks less romantic and more as if behind the scenes, their mother is threatening to take away their data plans if they don’t SMILE AND LOOK LIKE THEY’RE HAVING A GOOD TIME. This isn’t , incest vibes don’t hold up here. They are neither appreciated nor accepted on my fridge, so cut that shit out.

2. Costume Themes

I will never understand why two grown adults think it’s a good idea to dress up in cosplay to show the world they’re mature enough to get married for their engagement photos. It ranks right up there with the matching outfits thing. Do you think you’re unique because you have a wand in your photo and “always” is part of your wedding hashtag? Do you know who else owns a wand and is incorporating lines from a children’s book into their wedding vows? Anyone who was born between the years 1985-2000 and had working eyes and ears, that's who. Newsflash: broadcasting how much of a Potterhead you are in your engagement photos does not make you unique or quirky, it just makes me want to take shots.

3. Intimate Poses

People who treat their engagement photo like a personal ad for Playboy are the fucking worst. First of all, if your favorite book is , that's embarrassing enough. Why must you now recreate it for your closest friends and family? It's like you WANT me to claw my eyes out or something.The last thing I want to see when I’m deciding between pints of ice cream is you and your fiancé engaging in foreplay in with the words “save the date” below your groping hands. If I wanted to see alarming levels of PDA I’d replay the finale of . NOPE. I’m not here for it.

4. Anything With Camo

I can’t with a couple who wears camo. When I see camo all I can think is “budget wedding” and “there will be a beer run halfway through the ceremony.” Srsly can’t wait. They usually caption their engagement photo with something like “the hunt is over” which leads me to believe that their engagement came about after they ran out of matches on Tinder and reconnected with each other through a 2am Facebook DM. I, mean, the hunt is over? This isn’t The Hunger Games, it’s your love story, for God’s sake. Quit being so fucking dramatic. I already know that if I attend this wedding I can expect the venue to be exploding with mason jars and people who hate Obamacare but love the ACA. Sounds lit, will 100 percent be there.

5. The Psycho Stare

You know the one I’m talking about. The close-up shot where he’s either looking at her or off into the distance and she’s staring straight at the camera with her ring pointed like a deadly weapon. She’s got that look in her eyes that says she may or may not have killed for this ring and if you don’t show up to her wedding with a mid- to high-priced item from her registry you’ll be next. It’s fucking frightening. Also, when the bride-to-be inevitably makes every single one of her Facebook friends want to unfriend her puts up all 250 photos from the engagement shoot, the guy always looks like a prisoner of war. Always. It makes me want to be like, dude, blink once if you want to be here, twice if you’re being held against your will.

6. Animal Props

We get it, you have a fiancé AND a dog and I’m still buying crop tops at Forever21. Congratu-fucking-lations. You win at life. If you have a dog, FINE, I guess you can put him in your engagement photos. I can pick my battles here. My real issue is with the people who get fucking elaborate with their photos and add, like, a horse into the mix. The whole setup is extremely awkward. They’re always leaning on the animal or feeding it a snack while looking at each other and laughing like they have a fucking secret. It’s v unsettling. And the girl who would use an animal as a prop—let’s call her Jennifer—is usually the same girl who held a special meeting during sorority recruitment to blackball the horse freak from making it to the next round because Jennifer had a feeling that she “wouldn’t fit in.” Oh, how the tides have turned, Jennifer. HOW THE TIDES HAVE TURNED.
