nyo!rusame... plzplzplz

apply this to your nyotalia. amelia is the world's worst "straight" girl.

There you are, Ms. Madeline.

The thing about the Iliad is all the men are undeniably gentle. They’re warriors and they’re killers and yes, the blood doesn’t phase them, But they’re also gentle. It’s why we see Hector playing with his son, Achilles crying with Priam, Odysseus being referred to not as the son of Laertes but as the father of Telemachus. Homer wants us to know that these boys were not warriors from birth, they were thrust into it unwillingly and though they’re good at it and they want the glory, they’re people at the end of the day and they love more then they hate. Hector and was it Menelaus? Book 5? exchange gifts! Diomedes and glaucus exchange armor! These men are gentle and they do not want to be fighting and they are good at it but they do not love battle, that’s not why they’re heroes. They’re heroes because they are all fighting for someone at the end of it, not something. Because at the end of the day, it’s about the people they love because they are not warriors at heart. The war is about Helen and it’s about glory, but it’s also about Penelope and Andromache and Priam and peleus and all the families of the warriors. Which is why the Iliad has survived this long.

yay ^_^

Maddie Hatter

Daughter of the Mad Hatter

Full of jokes, pranks, and a good pun, Maddie Hatter is Raven’s best friend and former roommate! She is into everything eccentric, finding beauty in the weirdest corners of this world. But don’t let her generally bright attitude fool you, she knows how to stand up for herself and her friends! She is fluent in riddleish but sometimes has a hard time in her classes. However, MADDY has a head for leadership, and oddly enough team coordination, so she helps Apple White with Student Body President tasks.

There's a deal that I made - Madeline/Verna(/Annabelle Lee)

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Fall of the House of Usher (TV 2023) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Madeline Usher/Verna, Madeline Usher/Annabelle Lee Characters: Madeline Usher, Verna, Annabelle Lee Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Deal with a Devil, Late Night Conversations, Infidelity, Flirting, Kissing, Mild Smut, sort of a threesome

Summary:

“When will I see you again?” Madeline asked her.

Not if. But when would they see each other again. Madeline chose her words purposefully, and she spoke as calmly as possible, even though Verna’s own voice affected her to her core.

“I’ll be there,” Verna promised.

“When?”

It was tough to say, given Verna’s overall personality, if her grin sharpened or softened. Either way, she replied, “When you want me enough.”

at long last, it's the 2011 CDTA cast designs!!! should have luce n cairyx ready to show off soon too!

i was thinking about it, and i think that the reason Eddie works so well as a character despite (in the beginning especially) having the potential to be a VERY unlikeable, grating character, is that she’s pretty quickly shown to be genuinely smart and competent. Like I’m someone who generally hates characters that fill the tropes she does, but when I was watching the show for the first time I remember that while I was frustrated by her I still cared about her. Like during the shack scene I was legit on edge bc I was scared she’d get hurt.

Like it would’ve been so easy to just make her an idiot, but they didn’t and by establishing that she’s smart within her first few minutes on screen (specifically her talk with James) completely saves her character from becoming unlikable imo, even when she’s acting like a dick.

If the eah characters actually wrote with pens instead of quills and shit, Maddie would write in purple ink at every possible opportunity and all of Dexter's pens would run out after having been used once.

a gummy chibi madeline for @dazzlerazz! thank you so much for voting for EL PAN!!!

You leave me alone for 3 days with complete freedom and independence and i will jump back into my greek mythology phase.

Ok no srsly during quarentine and the height of my art journey where i used to draw every waking moment, my muse was Patroclus . (Bc i am a greek-roman mythology nerd since the tender age of THREE). I LITERALLY COULD NOT STOP DRAWING THIS SON OF A BITCH.

What im trying to say is, new art is about to drop sometimes tonight.
