#your parents see right through you
Photo
I did these sketches for the kings + queens back in 2021 that I’ve had in my drafts since then too, that I always meant to ink and color to make as finished drawings but I never got around to it. Also, since I’ve made both changes to their physical appearances and their basic information since then, I will be making brand new references for them sometime. I’m not too sure when those will come out(as I have some other projects I’m working on at the moment), but it is/was a project that I have been wanting to do for a long time so hopefully it will be sometime soon this summer!
In the meantime I will be sharing these old sketches and a little information about them, originally they were all going to be in the same post but I thought that would get too long. But, I hope you enjoy and to start off, we have the rulers of Feor~ 🔥
=============================================================
- Ruling King Vulcan(47) and Queen Consort Soleil(45) Von Brandt are the current reigning royals of the Kingdom of Feor and the parents to Ignatius, Hestia, Flint, and Ashton. Both come off as the type who are very stern and intimidating upon first glance, but deep down they are a lot more open-minded and accepting than one would think. They have known each other from the time they were children, but it was not till they were both over the age of 16 were they arranged to be married. Their arrangement aside, the two were already close as friends and knew they wanted to get to know each other romantically before their marriage, and through their dates they truly did feel in love when their wedding finally came. Vulcan tends to come off as very serious and no-nonsense, preferring a strong and logical approach when it comes to ruling, but he softens up a lot around his family. Soleil comes off as very wise and mature, used to have trouble expressing her emotions and inner troubles to others but is a lot more lively nowadays. While they are technically allies with Mareas through the Elemental Alliance, in truth they still see the Water Kingdom as their “rivals” and both Vulcan and Soleil do not care for Queen Arethusa and King Lian’s attitudes, to put it as lightly as possible. Though they have their thoughts over the queen and king, the two actually don’t mind their children and see them all as good kids, even Brooke who is often seen as the “problem child” between him and his siblings. While they have not gotten a solid confirmation from him yet, both have their speculations that their eldest son Nate is gay and that he is secretly seeing Prince Brooke, given how the Mareasian-style engagement ring he wears kind of gives it away and from noticing how they look at each other, but as Nate has not said anything they have no real proof at the moment and are patiently waiting for him to tell them himself.

"I was gonna say you're like a son to me.. but you're more than that."
"It ain't that complicated!"
How quickly that shoulder pat of comfort turned into a condescending one.
#he makes me feel so emo#this life was never meant for you but your fate was forced#the way dutch (and hosea) talks to arthur like he's stupid will never sit right with me#like they've been by his side over 20 years they KNOW he isn't stupid because if he was he would have been gone a long time ago#not only is arthur incredibly emotionally smart but he's a trained conman vault breaker gunslinger horse rider you name it#the fact that his own adoptive parents break him down like that hurts#it's a manipulation tactic on dutch's end - break your victims self esteem to make them chase your praise and approval#hosea I believe has just gone along with that kind of attitude but in a different way he just likes to jest lightheartedly#arthur doesn't see the difference though and it's understandable but he takes it to heart#the worst part is that hosea sees through his tough guy act and has called arthur out on it#his act is a defence mechanism to protect himself from being too vulnerable - in arthur's mind#and it isn't a sudden thing it's very likely something that has built over the years given the life he has lived#and hosea notices he knows this#but they still jab at arthur#oh it hurts#is he your son dutch? or is he your guard dog? your personal workhorse?#playing through the second time is opening my eyes more and more#rdr2#red dead redemption 2#mick squeaks#mick rants#mick gifs#arthur morgan#dutch van der linde#liveblogging#you guys gotta understand - arthur seeks and longs for dutch's approval he'll never say it but it's the key motive behind his loyalty#and arthur *rejects* dutch's comfort#he doesn't *want* dutch to pat him on the shoulder because he knows dutch is digging them an even deeper hole#he doesn't want that touch he craves#it's so insanely monumental for such a small scene because it shows us how arthur feels without telling us

this was made especially for those of us who cut ties with our shitty families, huh
i cried so much this whole episode. i know that i can't be in that house and be who i am at the same time, but the guilt and shame never really go away. i love that this episode said, wholeheartedly: fuck what society says, you should be wherever allows you to be happiest
anyway! you always hear that family estrangement is rare in asian communities, but i did it! and you can do it, too! dump your shitty family! i believe in you~
#tsukuritai onna to tabetai onna#it's incredible like i don't think i fully realized how ashamed i feel until this episode had me ugly crying into my blankie#especially because the abuse was invisible and people say: oh everyone's family says harsh things! it's because they care! they love you!#and no matter how hard you try to explain the magnitude of what was done to you people still shrug and say but they're *family*#not that there was ZERO physical abuse but like. that's just How It Is in the community i grew up in so it's not a Reason reason#and that's all aside from all that's expected of me as the child of an asian family (that i am simply doing none of)#FUCK i guess i just compartmentalized all of this so securely i didn't think it could bleed out anymore#thanks tsukutabe. i guess?#this show is RELENTLESSLY coming for me this season too like explicitly stated asexual rep? a treat for me personally!#idk i never expected an asian drama to be so clear about this especially because kasuga's abuse was invisible too#and the idea of not sacrificing yourself for your parents is COUNTER to what you're supposed to do#i am just VERY EMOTIONAL right now#i love kasuga so much and it was rough to see her going through it but i am SO HAPPY that she's accepted and loved

Guys I thought we hated the shroud parents- I thought this was a whole thing one time when we talked about how they’re probably not the best parents- guys am I going insane I swear there was a point in time when we hated them- guys-
#also I’ve been thinking about this but#shroud mom looking through Idias personal belongings (files) is BAD right#can we all agree on this?#I’m not on jp so I don’t know all of the context but#from what I have seen she went through his computer files???#and that is.. concerning to me?? going through your child’s stuff is bad right guys? can we agree on this?#I don’t care what the reason is it’s still a really gross thing to do right ?????#are we acknowledging this?#because all I see is people finding it funny and doing comics and stuff#which is FINE. as long as we acknowledge this is not. something that a parent should do#I think it gets very uncomfortable for me the longer that joke goes on but WHATVEER#its FINE I guess#I’m just being dramatic but idgaf#idk it just seems that everyone* loves them now?#*I know not evryone does but a lot of people do#and why? is it their designs? the way they act?#but whatever#💛!me talking💀#this was kinda Ranty sorry if you made it this far

people before three hopes: rodrigue doesn’t care about his son
my son
my son
thank you for taking such good care of my son
how fortunate
he’s my son all the same
I’m glad he has you to look after him
#Three Houses#Rodrigue#rodrigue calls him ''my son'' at every possible opportunity and i think that is very nice for him#if he truly wanted to distance himself from his own child then he would use his name and not refer to him#as specifically his child bc it would remind him/others that they're father and son#don't know why yuri knows what he knows but u know what it's yuri so i won't question it he just knows shit#but look rodrigue has always wished the best for felix even if felix didn't want anything to do with him#he never stopped trying to be a father to him or have a relationship with him#even with felix being so snappy and rude rodrigue still acknowledged him every chance he got and cared abt him#he's happy that byleth is his teacher bc he feels that he can't get through to felix and he's happy someone is around felix who can#in he can't do it he just wants to know someone else is out there who can care for him in the ways he can't#imo it's always been very clear and obvious that he loves felix and i don't think he was ever a BAD father#ppl just love smacking on that bad dad label without even paying attention to what's going on#it's not even fckn subtext lmfao it's literally right in your face#it's not his fault if felix doesn't want to talk to him and pushes him away. there's only so much he can do about that#he can at least still care about him and appreciate others being there for him#if you have a child who doesn't want to deal with you then as a parent you can still cherish them and see them as your kid#you can still want the best for them and talk about them to others and see how they're doing#no matter how much grief felix would give him anything at all rodrigue was still a parent to him#he didn't just call off being a parent to him bc of felix's feelings. he just dealt with it and continued doing what he could#you don't just stop being a parent bc your kid acts like that. rodrigue certainly didn't stop even in houses

gives him to u
thank you ... i am putting him in a small nest of hay
#VOICEMAIL#also about the 'turned to stone thing'#dude i think about it SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH. like. theres jusr so much going on with it#like. 1. silver is maybe the only one aware that WHOLE FUCKING TIME ?#2. dude they. rhey didnt tell Green's parents ????? so they likely didnt tell yellows uncle either .#but then that makes me wonder. cause you see who they all call immediately . so 3. do crys and gold only find out..#when they're literally going on this . 'only one shot' mission ???#they dont even get like. time 2 process the fact that their seniors AND silver are. basically fuckin dead ????#like. your friend who often just kind of vanishes sometimes isnt picking up your calls and nobodies seen him for a bit#but he's just like that !#but then. none of your seniors respond either.#AND . AND . YKNOW WHATS LIKE. SUPER FUCKED ? DUDE. THERES THIS LIKE. MINI CHAPTER RIGHT B4 FRLG ? WHERE GOLD N RED ARE HANGING OUT.#and red leaves through the door 2 go see professor oak. (FOR FRLG.) and like. he says 2 gold he'll see him later.#thats.. SUPER FUCKED ???#dude. but anyways. you dont hear from them for a few days#and your OTHER friend is starting to get worried . (because you contacted her to make sure she hadn't disappeared) but you're sure its fine#then you get a call. telling you all of them just got. turned into statues. in a different region . and now you're being shipped off to#start work on the only chance of bringing them back.#OKAY .#that period of time is soo fucked 2 me. i think about it so much. crystal was working constantly .. recruiting another child to get involve#in this mess because its the only plan they have..#and gold keeps failing the training that they NEED for it to work. and its framed like a joke but. they only had so much time.#like. i wonder how silver felt just. being aware in that statue for. months. especially after.. ALL of the shit he learned in frlg#and crystal and gold only had each other durign that time.#they scraped their money 2gether to buy a suit for the plan.. had to train 2gether under ultima..#also im likr. really normal and not crazy about the weird little ways crys n particularly gold interact with the statues ??#all the touching n the eyeing i mean... and how guile taunts them about silver ? calling him a broken tool and how no matter how much care#and work and time you pour into someone.. it doesnt change the fact that theyre broken. n crys n gold get so pissed about this ?#LIKE. UNDERSTANDABLY SO BUT. AUUUGGGJHH. i have so many more thoughts on this.#i wrote so many tags it broke the post and ate half of them (twice) so i wont write them ALL here. BUT IM STILL SORRY ABOUT THE ESSAY

Back home and some complicated feelings about it again 😍 that said. Nothing beats my own beautiful bed
#sometimes I genuinely don't know whether I'd prefer to move back in with my parents or not#it wouldn't solve anything but I guess I could save up for a house? maybe?#but then again I can't right now because the point of being here is the learning and experiences#plus! I said I was going to try out the year. and we're only 1/4th through#which is a lot and not a lot simultaneously#back from friend trip agh. I miss the company even if being around people makes me self conscious#not my friend himself mind you but roommates I don't know as well as him. regardless. company nice#but the advantage of being at friend's places is that you can see what makes you feel at home in a place and then adjust that in your place#for example. my family never put a lot of stuff up on the walls#but I actually love rooms with a lot of framed pictures photos posters and such up. so if I do that here I'll like my space more#also!! I need to get more lamps#I love having various lamps around the place and I love not using overhead lighting#so I should invest in some home decor... for my gay little mental health#perhaps see what I can do to decorate for the winter holidays?#bien rambles#I've never been good at decorating or interior design but I can play around with it now...

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN ; 1/3
TRANSCRIPT:
Some Nights Ago...
magdalena: [whispering] Your highness, why on earth did you drag me out here at this hour?
luca: Well, your majesty, I was laying in my bed, deep in thought—
m: Of course.
l: —when I realized that I never got a dance with you at your ball.
m: And?
l: And I plan on remedying that. May I have this dance, fair lady? ...Please?
m: …[lets out a lengthy sigh] Oh, alright.
. . .
m: Speaking of the ball… Will you finally admit how you recognized me?
l: Simple—the mark on your neck. I am the one who gave it to you.
m: What mark?! You gave me no such thing! I would surely remember—
l: [grins] The scar, your majesty.
m: Oh.
l: When we were children, the last summer before the war, we visited your family. Here, at this castle.
m: Yes… I remember now. You were quite the nuisance, even at that age.
l: And you were quite the prissy little girl.
m: [furrows brows] Touché.
l: Still, I developed a crush the moment you looked me in the eyes. I tried to impress you, of course, which only led to you liking me even less. So I found a dusty sword to show off my sparring skills.
m: [gasps lightly] It was you!
l: Indeed. There I was, practicing in the maze, and then there you were, skipping past my hedge.
m: You could have killed me!
l: I could have, and that is why I dropped the sword and ran. Luckily for me, all I did was cut your hair and a small section of the back of your neck.
m: …I was distraught over losing my long hair, you know.
l: But was it not impressive that it was a clean cut?
m: Luca!
l: [snickering]
#regal#ts4 story#thank you morri for making me sword poses for bby luca <3333#finally an explanation of how luca knew who magdalena was in the very beginning lol#how he only cut her hair and gave her a tiny cut on the back of her neck.................... the world may never know#✨ precision ✨#it's barely noticeable so it hasn't been a big thing ever in one of my posts#but of course luca would see it#as he was the culprit lol#maggie barely thinks about it because it was such a weird thing that she never had an answer to#didn't even really make a big deal about it#her parents thought she had cut her own hair (^:#it's hilarious to me that maggie thought luca was talking about a LOVEBITE#like............................................................. girl what goes through your head secretly#anywhoooooooooo#i wrote this scene as sort of a break from the absolute nightmare that maggie is going through right now#but it's something she is thinking about while sitting at his bedside so it's relevant#one those 'only a few days ago we were talking and smiling and dancing...' type things

The lowkey sci-fi horror of KJ—who doesn’t want to know, who doesn’t care, who doesn’t need to see that—walking down a hall her parents have turned into a Museum of KJ Brandman Moments to the eeriest score in the whole season. This show. This fucking show.
#paper girls#paper girls spoilers#kj brandman#imagine it. you don’t want to see your future. you want to write it yourself. you deserve that right.#but you’re twelve years old and you’re going through hell and you can see your parents through the window#and even if you don’t get along. even if they don’t see you. they’re your parents. you can’t resist going in.#and you know your room is the place you’re always able to hide so of course you head that way#escape the chaos. escape the chance of running into yourself. go somewhere safe.#but to get there you have to walk through a tunnel of moments you haven’t yet lived#it’s such a particular kind of surreal. i love this episode so fucking much.

Taking Pitch Black away from the Pitch Black fans until they start loving him for his actual character and not whatever sadboy fandom personality they give him.
He happily murdered people. That is a significant part of his lore. He murdered people. MiM, Emily Jane, Sandy, and Bunnymund are not the last survivors of their people for no reason. Begging people to love tragic villain characters for their tragic villainy.
On my knees begging people for actual villain Pitch content.
#these same people are always like 'fear keeps kids safe!' and then post about their poor relationships with their parents#guys its a child abuse allegory#pitch embodies trauma#raising your kids to be afraid of you so they obey you is abusive actually#and being sad and making yourself the victim because nobody wants you around after years of abuse does not mean you are actually right#'but kids wont know how to be safe!' you are thinking of katherine the guardian of knowledge#who teaches kids that pans are hot through stories#not pitch black#who teaches kids that pans are hot by telling them sweetly to put their hands in the water and see what happens

Yayyyyyyyy finally working on my pinned post :D having fun :D
Its funny to me cause I'll do these super organizational things for fandom purposes and genuinely have fun with it, but then would rather die than be even remotely organizational for school
#theres two wolves inside of me:#meticulously tagging my tumblr and photo gallery(this is one example)#vs: all of my school papers no matter the class are just shoved into my backpack all together#my parents are always like why cant you put this focus into school#dont you understand that my blorbos arent there :<#anyways one day ill actually post my pinned post#its that kinda thing where i cant stop adding to it and itll never be perfect so it just sits on my draft#but atm im going through and making a directory for all my race gifposts#looking at 2005 in January is crazy bcs wow i really did do 9 races in a week#its sooooooo satisfying to have 2005 be completely finished#itll be cool to (hopefully) see the other seasons begin to rack up while 2023 is slower#as ive mentioned a bit still a little wild for me to be at the same place at both 2009 and 2023#ngl....imola being canceled is satisfying for me bcs it means Monaco is in its rightful place as Round Six#id have to check but like...in most seasons in the past 2 decades monaco is generally the 6th#so that it lines up makes me happy bcs consistency is key!!#tho I wonder if ill watch several races before 2023 monaco hmm probably!#ah anyways having fun looking through these older posts bcs tumblr's tagging system sometimes sucks#like you know when you look up your own post on your own blog and it doesnt show up???? bugs me sm#catie.rambling.txt

every time I have to deal with my mother guilt tripping me or saying whatever shit she wants to make me upset, it just makes me miss my boyfriend so much to the point where I feel embarrassed about it because I know I wouldn’t be this needy if I wasn’t living here
#and I know that like your partner is supposed to be there for you through the hood and bad#but like!! it’s not fair that this is the problem I’m having!! we’re not that old that we need to be dealing with parent stuff all the time!#I’m so fucking sad oh my god#if I’d just stayed in Seattle and found a way to make it work#I know everything happens for a reason but GOD#this has been terrible#he’s literally gonna graduate college#like that’s the big stress thing that should be in our lives rn#not my mom#I want to have this cute little life where I just do the jobs I want to do#and so does he and we make money and go home and see each other and just all of this cute shit#but nope! I’m here! in a room that I hate in a house that I hate!!!#godddddddddddd#I want to have the time to think about stupid things but I don’t!!#because my mom is just!! right there!!#she doesn’t even fucking get it and she’ll never get it until I leave#oughhhhhhhhhhh

my husband and i got exceedingly hammered last night and he proceeded to explain the history of catholicism & christianity to me so i could write more accurate porn fjbmgfbkj #blessed
#silver jelly#wish i remembered it a little more but it's okay he drew diagrams#difficult bc i think i was picturing joseph's parents as catholics and that wouldn't make sense if i also hc that they're the ones who#helped him get his job (or at least his foot in the door.) he's just def not a catholic.#but wait HMMMMM what if that was another point of rebellion/contention. he started in the catholic church but it never Felt Right#not as a priest but something very like. beginner. idk maybe even a youth minister there too.#having a job that's Almost It is so hard jbmkbg okay anyway. it makes his parents really happy and he stays for uhhhh probably less than#a year but probably more than a couple of months bc it's been sooooo long since he was able to make them happy.#but it doesn't make HIM happy at least not exactly. catholicism never did (he strikes me as a catholic school kid probably through#all his schooling so he's known for a long time that a lot of it doesn't resonate.) and maybe this is where mary comes in.#and maybe she gives him the confidence he needs to find a church that's more aligned with his beliefs and his approach to faith.#there's a talk where she's like 'you're miserable and this is going to be your life if you don't get away from what's making you miserable'#sad and foreshadowy bc. well.#so he goes to Thee Maple Bay Church that we see in canon. he's not in the cul-de-sac yet. this is also before he and mary were even dating.#and maybe that's part of what makes her fall for him. it takes a lot of strength to leave your job and your family's church.#she sees him as a guy who takes action. this is also sad foreshadowing.#god this is SO JUICY fjbmigkj#but what is he now you may ask???? still no idea <3#the christiansen mess

feeling the profound weight of other people's hardships & my own helplessness to interfere tonight lads, anyone got some good news to share?
#ctxt#my loved one my housemate my best local friend & my parents are all going through some truly heartbreaking major life changes right now#and i'm over here finally settling into a life much improved by my own recent changes unable to do anything to fix the situations#guess this is a lesson in 'give from your own means' cause all of these things are other people's battles to fight#but i can confidently try to shoulder some auxiliary burden in the form of offering food and encouragement and venting space#i can't carry it for you but i can carry you etc etc#anyways i'm doing great but it sucks to see the overwhelming majority of my closest people suffering#and i've been spending a lot of effort being a moral support. which i do gladly.#but i need to keep reminding myself not to burn out playing fix-it with other people's shit that's out of my hands#shit chat

I may be a little concerned at the idea that I may be using this site as a coping mechanism
#Sel talks#I still don't how to tag things#And that's why I've been so active!#I suppose it's better than other coping mechanisims I could have#I think it's kinda funny that my first reaction to realizing this was “oh I need to get off tumblr right now”#Like#I'm going through a mentally and emotionally taxing time and you want to get rid of your coping mechanism??#Haha#Anyway. I've been doing better emotionally and mentally :)#Been able to focus at work#Have a doctor's appointment Monday#My job gave me a bonus so maybe I can see a psychiatrist soon#I'm moving back into my parents and hopefully I'll be able to save some money to move move in a couple years#I'm trying to ween myself off tumblr too
