I like Dune: Part 2 PRINTS

a little Apollo and Artemis painting :D

what the fuck. what the fuck what the fu k.

rick riordan I am a whole ass adult now how tf are you taking a wrecking ball to my emotions AT THIS POINT. SHOULDN’T WE BE PAST THIS.

what the fuck Meg took in all of her foster siblings to help them live a life after Nero. she’s showing them a world that can be kind, where people will say what they mean, and where mistakes don’t deserve punishment.

BUT THEN ALSO. Apollo. Went back.

And for Meg and her siblings, everything about their lives has changed and improved. But Apollo just… goes back to Olympus. Where Zeus continues to rule with an iron fist, where no one was even able to stick up for him, where every other Olympian lives in fear of Zeus’s anger. And he’s still there, he’s still in charge, but Apollo knows BETTER now. He knows that things can be different. He knows that he can be different, and he’s making the decision to be better now than he was before.

But now he doesn’t fit. He doesn’t fit with the Olympians, who weren’t a healthy family even before this, and he doesn’t fit with his new friends, either, because he’s a god again. He can go see them and talk with them and help them, but he’ll always have to leave again. He can never stay.

The last few chapters of The Tower of Nero were so beautiful and amazing - getting to see everyone else living their happy endings (as much as any demigod can), but they were always tinged with… loneliness. Apollo is separate from them all again. He can teleport at will, he can change his appearance to anything, he can separate his consciousness… and that’s all great, he wanted all of that back…

But by the end? He kind of wanted to stay human. And there’s no resolution for him. He’s gone through this incredible, difficult, terrifying, life-changing adventure… and he came back, and everything’s the same. Kinda makes me think of Luke, going off on his quest, coming back different, harder, sharper… and finding Camp exactly like how he left it, with everyone expecting him to just slot himself back into the place he had before, when that space doesn’t fit him anymore.

And Apollo has what Luke didn’t - friends who knew him as he was changing, who love this new person he’s become, and even a sister whose affection won’t change no matter what happens. He’s going to be okay, I know that.

But there’s just… something so quietly tragic in the end of Apollo’s story. He doesn’t get his own personal happy ending. His “triumph” is a return to a divine status that he’s not necessarily sure he even wants anymore. He has to forge his own path forward towards his own happiness, and we don’t get to join him on it. We got to be with him through his Trials - his future is up to him, now.

Meg McCaffrey & Apollo, a study in platonic love

lester papadopoulos is an excellent character for several reasons but the one thing that makes him even better is his bisexual swagger and the fact that he's a fucking loser

cooldown of the silly... his little :3 is so dear to me

tini tiny robin :)

Update: i made a dick version. And both of them together!

look, all i'm saying is that if your parents fostered this kid for a while and you became best friends, and then the kid got into drugs or something and joined a gang and killed your brother-in-law, and the police got involved and your newly widowed sister, who had a one-month-old baby, ran into the middle of the gunfight to protect your almost-brother and got killed and then he blew himself up with a grenade, and then over a decade later he suddenly showed up at your house reincarnated into the body of a teenager with his boyfriend who is in his 30s and also hates you and got mad at you for not kicking your orphaned teenage nephew's emotional support dog out of the house as soon as you realized your almost-brother was there without an invitation, and you went to the private family cemetery and he and his boyfriend had jumped the fence and were doing something that looked an awful lot like getting ready to have sex on top of your parents' grave, and you held yourself back from doing anything but saying "you piece of shit, stop fucking on top of mom and dad's grave and get out of here" and the boyfriend went "oh good i've been looking for an excuse to punch you" and punched you in the face, you would hit him back too

geto always looked at gojo so fondly and listened to what he had to say i feel sick

hating tim for being too smart and solving stuff on his own

[DC] Always you and me

Finally finished those sketches I post months ago

[DC Comics] another art dump!

First one is a collab redraw of a panel from the yj 80 page special! I did the sketch and lines and @ghostiiest did the amazing colors!

Second one is also inspired by the same issue, the next two are from the first (?) issue of yj98, and the fifth image takes the dialogue from worlds finest three (1996). Then some bonus doodles :)

I know there are alot of angsty Tim does not believe he is part of the family takes but consider a hilarious twist on this where Tim 100% separates being a bat verses being a Wayne like its more of a family business type of situation. 

Like Jason goes on a full ass monologue about how Tim stole Robin and his place in the family as Dick’s brother and Bruce’s son and Tim is like??? chill I’m an employee dude. Damian tries to kill him to prove that he is the superior son and Tim is super confused because shouldn’t he go after one of Bruce’s sons instead of an unpaid intern?

Bruce has a whole heart attack when Tim tries to ask if he has a retirement plan or benefits lmfao 

Cue everyone trying to show Tim he’s part of the family except he is dodging attempts left and right (like that time he created a fake uncle just so he wouldn’t get adopted)

Tim Drake is so fun to write. SO MUCH FUN. He's so smart that he's an idiot. He's a high school dropout (respect). He's a majority shareholder (disgust). His code of ethics consists entirely of a bulleted list written on a sticky note by Batman and handed to him when he was 12 years old. He grows up to be evil in a genuinely concerning number of timelines. He is a baldfaced liar and never tells anyone anything ever just in case it might give him an upper hand later. He periodically loses his mind. He is the personification of "Boy Genius" said sarcastically.

Bruce wakes up one morning and shoves his socked feet into a pair or Birkenstocks, puts a nasty old robe on over his bare chest, and shuffles downstairs in his boxers. He sits at the breakfast table and blinks down at his blueberry pancakes.

“Looksgood,” he mumbles.

Damian, Tim, Cass, and Dick are seated at the table as well. They’re all eating various breakfast foods. Dick is wearing a neon green leisure suit. Damian has a frog next to his plate. Cass and Tim are poking each other with their forks.

Bruce cuts into his pancakes and takes a nice big bite. He chews. Swallows. Everyone is staring at him.

“These are not blueberries,” he says softly. “Who put olives in my pancakes?”

He doesn’t wait for an answer. He just gets up and walks outside.

—

A few hours later, Tim needs some help with a fingerprint and tries to find Bruce.

“Where’s B?”

Damian, who is reclined on a chaise lounge and reading manga, points outside. Out in the distance, at the very edge of the horizon, is Bruce. He’s just a little speck. Tim squints.

“What’s he doing?”

“He’s mowing the lawn.”

Tim blinks a few times and sees that Bruce is, indeed, pushing a lawn mower.

“Damian,” Tim says, “the Wayne Estate is 150 acres big.”

“Grayson said that Father is having a breakdown due to the Olive Prank. He said to just let Father mow the lawn until he collapses. I am keeping watch.”

Tim watches as Bruce shuffles off into the horizon with the lawnmower. It’s a sorry sight.
