will literally never shut up about the parallels between them

so there's this post that talks about how people call jason's curved knife a kris but it's not a kris 'cuz why would he have a southeast asian knife? and op's tags say if you're gonna give him an 'exotic' weapon at least make him malay or something. a later reblog adds a filipino kris as an example, and then i was like, 'omg, jason in a barong tho.' SO i tried designing a bat-barong inspired by his hood logo, for a filipino jason haha. and now here we are! 😊✨️🇵🇭

Bonus third one that I thought was funny:

According to the artist, when it was suggested that a smile might benefit the look of the finished portrait, Attaché Nohell reportedly replied, "I thought the purpose of this was to be honest."

Super fun commission of @waterloggedsoliloquy's OC Sicely Nohell (they/them) and their terrible, horrible, no good, very bad lusus figure Commanding Officer.

LORDS OF WINTERFELL + THEIR BASTARD SIBING - Torrhen Stark & Brandon Snow

To say that Torrhen Stark's decision to bend the knee to Aegon I was an unpopular one was an understatment. The king had ruled for nearly twenty years by that point and had maintained a rare tenure of peace and agricultural prosperity before the arrival of the Targaryen invaders. But while the decision to give up his crown may have saved the lives of the people of the North, it cost him the respect of his sons, his lords, and his brother, Brandon Snow.

Brandon was nearly a decade younger than the king, only just older than Torrhen's sons. The two had been close all their lives, as Brandon was raised within the royal Stark family amicably. He was trained as a warrior, one of the finest archers of the land. And he was bold, too. But like the rest of the North, Brandon held on to his grudges. It would be many months before Brandon spoke to Torrhen again after bending the knee to Aegon, and many more years before he considered forgiving his elder brother.

Torrhen prevented Brandon from trying to kill the dragons of Aegon, Rhaenys, and Visenya. Before departing Winterfell, Brandon carved three arrows. He prayed over them, willed the power of the Old Gods to guide them true and slay the beasts. But Torrhen forbade him from using them. They argued and raged at each other before finally Brandon agreed to treat with Aegon, but left his bow behind. By the next morning, Torrhen handed his crown to the conqueror and Brandon spat at his feet.

It was not that Torrhen did not believe his brother could accomplish his mission, and for many years after it haunted him that perhaps he should have let the boy try. But he knew that Brandon would die a martyr in the attempt. Perhaps it as his selfishness to not see his brother, and eventually his sons to die pointless deaths. In the attempt to find a peace, he lost his brother's respect, and his sons struggled to even look at him. Brandon lived in his rage; anger at Torrhen's cowardice, anger at himself for listening to him. But Brandon could not fathom a king's responsability to his country, and did not bear the weight of it. Perhaps Torrhen was preventing his brother from an inevitable failure that which he would be blamed for. The bastard that could not kill a dragon. He gladly kept Brandon's resentment for the rest of his life, if meant saving him that.

see the limelight

paramedic/EMT dick is so good omg :o i hadn’t thought about that one

i have seen social worker dick which also felt really appropriate (also love that for jason) but!!! EMT actually feels like it works better to me???

thank u for putting that thought in my head~

ahhhhhhh!! i am so ecstatic i could put the thought of emt/paramedic!dick in your head hehehehe

paramedic!dick is so special to me<3 it very much i think hits what dick needs and wants out of his civilian life but also directly influences his vigilantism too

my main three takeaways are these:

it's a highly rewarding but deeply traumatizing career and it scratches his innate need to help people without violence & fear

it's a little bit more training than a police officer but i think covers a field of knowledge dick knows but doesn't know intimately like he does criminal justice or law. it would also benefit his "night" job to be more equipped to handle traumatic injuries

ems schedules are chaotic and all over the place especially if the garage is down a paramedic or ALS provider or just overall understaffed but the overall structure of it would be good for dick (if he can balance his work-vigilantism life healthily, depending on how you write him)

so this is happening......

kinda been wanting to write but feeling scatterbrained as usual lol. Salvation and parent trap are both on my master list btw if you're new here (since I haven't talked about them in a while lol)

I love the San Jose mayor, Matt Mahan, bc his emails are always filled with the most batshit delusional information. Recently he told us that there is $52m shortfall in the city budget. FIFTY TWO MILLION. So we're cutting services everywhere! But dw not the police. We're expanding the police force actually. Yes we have 700 vacancies in the police force and the average rate of retention is 1.5 years. But it's ok. We need those short term cops. That money should NOT go to social services. Btw we're building interim housing and no, it will not cover the number of unhoused people living along the waterways we need to house that the city is about to get fined to millions by the regional water board for 😌😌 he's so funny he inherited such a fucking mess that just gets worse each year as the state starts looking more closely at What The Fuck Happened In San Jose. Every single time he includes a picture of him out in the community, his hair is grayer.

Sometimes I remember that one of Claudio Castagnoli's first gimmicks in WWE was an "excessively aggressive" rugby player, complete with thigh tape and I have to pinch myself.

"Sun...you're afraid of me, aren't you? I-If you are just say so. I-I won't take it personally, really."

Flower Fae AU, in which you and Sun are both bad at lying.

Context: After being hit by a rogue shrinking spell and getting lost in the woods, Sun and Moon take you in. But the spell doesn't last forever, and things get awkward when you return to human size. Cuz spending time around a 6 inch tall human does NOT make the full size ones any less intimidating.

just hopping in to say real quick but, i love seeing people's selfship/ ocxcharacter ship as hell. even when we share the same bias, even more so, idk why but it's like we're are citizens of a same little planet. i love them. i love us. do know that there's me here for aki x you/ oc ship crumbs and probably others too. i really really like seeing aki from others' povs and how they/ their character interact w him... it's genuinely lovely and 🥹 knowing that there're people who love him this much this way apart from me is so... nice and healing? and aki in love? just fucking give me more. i fucking love aki who's in love. u don't know how glad i was finding my aki people after a loooong long time being unaware of the community (and smh i did not think of searching for it until a friend sent me a tumblr aki x reader fanfic). mags, i thought i was weird and silly and no one was like me, and had been literally aki-ranting into microsoft office words in the past...

...yea there's more but i'll word limit myself just to here but you get my point. pls drop crumbs. also i love LOVE ur mermaid AU it's so so so so so....

your blog is a fucking blessing.

dearest mwo, thank you for saying so... (rhymes) it's silly because I feel the same way, I really love seeing other people's selfship stuff and things for aki. it makes me feel very seen... even if I'm shy to participate myself. and I love seeing other people appreciate aki soooo much, it makes my heart happy. yes... aki deserves so much love, I love when others love him...

I'm eternally greatful for my little akiful community here and I'm appreciative of anyone who has ever supported me... I promise to post more akis to come, and to not hold back from being my topknot self

/ I've noticed that at this point I'm not even writing on any blog anymore, I just come and yell about some blorbo and leave. Rinse and repeat my lieges

no one asked but i gotta put out one of my biggest fandom/fanfic pet peeves:

"unthinking/meme-poisoned socmed usage assigned to every character"

why does everyone have to be a twitter funnyman. why does everyone act like they post for clout and monetization. when would they have the time? what does account verification entail, and would they warrant it.

think it through 🤔
