AfterMath sneak peak 2

its been a hot minute since i posted up any more of my writing, i have been working on this on and off, I've been sick, busy, its almost my birthday... I'm trying to finish it. i really am ;-; my headcanon name for Blitz's mom is Marigold, nicknamed "Ma" by Fizz.

one day i will finish this :P

“I’m so sorry about Ma, Blitz.” Fizz said after another long beat of silence. Fizz had only heard of Ma’s passing after Cash had come to visit with him, a few weeks into being in the hospital already, all those years ago. At first, Fizz thought that may have been why Blitz didn’t go to see him, being too broken up about Ma to want to see anyone else he cared about suffering, but as time progressed, Fizz grew more confused and hurt by the lack of his best friends visits, no longer accepting his grief as a reason for him not to be there. It was easy to manipulate Fizz into believing that Blitz hated him after that, spinning the lie that he blamed him for his pain, and for his mom’s passing, the jealousy and envy that Blitz had for Fizz when preforming always being brought up every time he tried to ask where Blitz was. He didn’t blame Blitz, it wasn’t his fault, and he didn’t lie to him. It wasn’t Ma’s fault; Ma was always there for Fizz and Blitz, through everything. She was supportive, kind, understanding and if Cash wasn’t around, Fizz was sure that everything would have been so, so much different. If she survived the fire… surely Cash wouldn’t have been able to drive a sharp wedge between the two.

Blitz tensed up at the mention of Ma’s name, and the tears he was trying to hold back, emerged again. He wondered how Fizz found out, but guessed that maybe he was able to watch the news of the accident, though; it wasn’t televised as much as Blitz thought it would be. Cash had been embarrassed of Blitz, trying to cover up his major fuck-up anyway he could, all the while being an ever-present thorn in Blitz’s side over the whole thing, blaming him for everything, which, warranted, at the time… but it wasn’t Blitz’s fault… it was just an accident. He felt so guilty though, after that day he swore that he would never live it down and lived by that day after day. No one who survived the fire would ever forgive or trust him for anything…

He never saw Fizz in the fire. He was standing right by him and never saw him. The realization of that killed him. His best friend was right in front of him, and he didn’t do anything. It killed him more that Fizz was right by his side, at this moment, forgiving him. Fizz accepted that it was an accident; he desperately wanted to believe that Blitz would never do anything to hurt him, which, he wouldn’t. He never meant to… it was much more complicated than that. He meant to save Fizz, from his dad, from Greed, from everything… but himself.

passages that make you whisper "oh my god"

Yall wanna hear a kinda funny, kinda sad story about my grandmother and hetero-normativity?

Ok, so... when my grandmother was in her 50s (I was an infant), she met a woman at the Unitarian Church. And, as can happen when you meet your soul mate, this event made it impossible for her to deny parts of herself that she had fiercely hidden her whole life.

All the drama- their affair being found out, the divorce with my grandfather, the court battle over who got the house, happened while I was a baby. Even in my earliest memories, it's just Mama Jo and Oma, and my grandfather lived elsewhere (first his own apartment, then a nursing home, then with us.)

But here's the thing- no one ever explained any of this to me. No one ever sat down and was like "hey, Rosie, so do you know what a lesbian is?" It was the 90s. It was Texas. I think my mom was still kinda processing all this, and just assumed that like... I was gonna figure it out. Don't mention it, let it just be normal. Like I think my mom thought that if she explained the situation, she would be making it weird? I dunno.

But like. In the 90s, in all the movies I had seen and books I had read, do you know how many same sex couples I had seen? Like. 0. Do you know how many "platonic best friend/roommates" I had seen? A lot. I had no context, is what I'm saying.

I literally thought this was a Golden Girls, roommates, besties situation until I was like...I dunno, 11? 12?

It was actually their parrot, an African Grey named Spike, imitating my grandmothers voice saying "Johanna, honey, it's getting late", that triggered the MIND BLOWN moment as I realized that *there's only one master bedroom and it only has 1 waterbed* when all the pieces finally clicked.

Anyway. I think it's a real important thing for kids to know queer people exist, for a lot of reasons, but also because kids can be clueless and it's embarrassing to have your grandmother be outted by a parrot because everyone just thought you'd figure it out on your own.

Anyway, here is my grandma and her wife, my Oma, after they moved to Albuquerque to be artsy gay cowboys and live their best life. They helped run a "Lesbian Dude Ranch" out there (basically just with funding and financial support. As Oma has explained "traditionally, most lesbians don't have a lot of money" so they wrote the checks and let the younger ladies actually run the ranch.)

thinking about her (three sword style Nami that Oda drew for One Piece magazine vol. 13)

I have not been able to stop thinking about her ever since I saw this design. I took some liberties with the outfit, giving her more of a sports bra and biker shorts and a sleeve (I am not sure if it is a sleeve or haki, I am running with it)

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

!This is a drawing! Not a screenshot!

This is nineteen hours of work. (Not the build I based this off of- it only took me like a few minutes to build it XD)

(This is the next build of mine that I will draw)

“their miracle was so big bc crowley used to be an archangel” have u considered that aziraphale and crowley love each other so much that their love alone could move the tides just by staring at the ocean for too long. have u considered that they did the miracle not really to protect gabriel but to protect what they had, what they’d built with each other. and that was them barely even trying

The Chrysalis x Cadance pairing is so much funnier if its a polycule

thinkign about characters i like being sweet and tender with each other

Taylors wift is just elon musk for horse girls and gays who are afraid of faggots

I feel like I have some of the most random headcanons. but I am lowkey obsessed with the fact that John Dory is so much older than Branch that he potentially could have dated their friends'/peers' parents, and/or anything else funny and possibly entertaining that the large age difference entails lmaokskssbcdsbcjdh

The Allegiance of the Ascended Vampire and the New God of Magic

i think it's personally homophobic and downright diabolical that there is not a medieval calligraphy manuscript font available when changing the appearance of your tumblr blog

just saying

what do you mean jennifer saunder's shrek 2 cover of Holding Out for a Hero didn't play over the entirety of dressrosa arc

Buck taking grainy, zoomed-in pictures of every single helicopter he sees and sending them to Tommy like “dis u babe? 🥰”

Hey it's that time of the year again :D

HAPPY 413! 🎂
