#Battle of Sai

[queenbananya]

I'd written a long ramble/gushing about this scene but I'm new to Tumblr and it all got deleted when I switched to a new tab to check something, so, now all you get is my self promotion for my one shot of this scene. Not necessarily romantic, but an exploration of the close relationship these two share.

See below:

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Kingdom (Anime & Manga) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Ei Sei | Ying Zheng/Shin | Xin, Ei Sei | Ying Zheng & Shin | Xin Characters: Ei Sei | Ying Zheng, Shin | Xin (Kingdom) Additional Tags: Season 3 Episode 22, Battle of Sai, Canon Compliant, Sei really cares for Shin, Hair Brushing, Literal Sleeping Together, Gap Filler Summary:

Seeing him like this, utterly exhausted, injured, battle worn skin and armor– what a fortunate man he was, to have Shin by his side. Shin, his pillar of strength, whose integrity and strength of character drew others to him, to pick up their swords and fight, fight until the last of their breaths left them, and continue still past that. The ability to inspire, to command, to lift soldier’s spirits and rally them to win against the odds of the gods– Shin had it all. Today was the last day they had a chance. They both knew it, and Shin fought past his limits, until he could fight no more. His mind shut down, and still he fought. He only allowed his body to collapse with the setting of the sun, in the brief reprieve they had before it rose once again. And with it, the destiny of their kingdom.

Shin fought for him. For their kingdom, for their shared dream.

Or, that scene at the end of the sixth day of the battle of Sai, when Shin collapses from exhaustion and only responds to Sei's voice, extended.

There's too pitifully few fics in this fandom.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

#cw: suicidal ideation #cw: suicide #cw: self harm #cw: mental health #cw: depression #i made the balloon the main representation of my self destructive urges for a reason but im not going to explain it #i tried to keep a lot of the details in this vague #it would be my worst nightmare if this comic encouraged someone to hurt themselves #so. please dont #for a long time even the thought of making this comic felt so insipid and narcissistic #with the state of the world as it is #having the only threat to your life be yourself felt so privileged and trite and shameful #but doing this comic made me sit down and process things in full #and im just. very grateful i didn't give in to my thoughts back when i sincerely felt i'd be more useful to the world dead #i also feel the need to say that this wont represent everyone's battle with mental illness. its unfortunately different for all of us #there is no fix-all #and im afraid this might be one of those comics that either resonates a lot or misses the target by a mile #i made it for myself foremost. and now that its done im glad i did it #thank you for reading #and please stay alive #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics

many centuries down the line they can manage to have a civil enough family game night.

#cult of the lamb #narilamb #Leshy carved losers corner above lambs bed many games ago and they think it’s too funny to fix #Anyway lamb does eventually marry narinder but after a good while of tormenting him on who to choose for marriage #I think at one point narinder starts dragging suitors into the battle pit #And says only someone who can beat him is good enough for lamb yayyy #This comic came out pretty clumsy but I’m just glad it’s done #cotl art

I want to make something super clear: all of Brennan Lee Mulligan’s battles are to the death. It is kill, or be killed and that extends to the Rat Grinders.

I like them just as much as the next person but I knew they’d die. They’re amazing antagonists and it’s great that we like them but this is their fate. They were doomed the minute they chose Porter, and yes they chose him and to come back.

Lucy didn’t. It was painful but she didn’t.

The others did. They were doomed by the narrative the moment they got the mark on themselves.

#this was always to come #and you’re allowed to be mad #but you are not allowed to say that the intrepid heros aren’t thinking it through #they absolutely are #just because you don’t like their chocies doesn’t mean they aren’t thinking #and plus #they talk a lot off screen #maybe they discussed the pros and cons #and deciding killing was the better option #i am blockkng anyone who says that they’re not thinking this through #the bad kids have lived these battles for three years #and you think they’re not thinking it through? #fantasy high junior year #fantasy high junior year spoilers #fhjy spoilers #fhjy #dimension 20 #d20

Eddie finds out Steve loves "the teddy bears" from Star Wars so he buys him an Ewok stuffed toy he sees in a random shop one day and Steve loves it, he was so excited when he realised what it was and he calls it Teddy, named after Eddie but also because its a teddy bear and Eddie is feeling pleased with himself until they're round at Steve's and Dustin finds it

Eddie thinks Dustin is about to make fun of Steve but instead he kicks up a fuss that he introduced Steve to the Ewoks and he loves them just as much as Steve does and Eddie can see Steve reluctantly gearing up to offer Teddy to Dustin so Eddie swoops in and says he'll get one for Dustin too

Robin happens to be around when Eddie manages to hand one over to Dustin and she sees Dustin squeeze his to his chest and Steve had brought Teddy down to the living room because they were all going to watch Star Wars together and she half joking demands to know where hers is so Eddie sighs and agrees to head back to the store tomorrow

He hands over Robin's stuffed Ewok and before Erica can even open her mouth to complain about how the rest of the Scoops Troop has their own Ewoks so where's hers Eddie presents one to her and announces that nobody else will be getting one because his wallet is empty so they are a Scoops Troop exclusive

whenever they hang out as a group at Steve's or Eddie's their Ewoks sit in a little line all together and they had to get little accessories so they always knew who's was who's after Robin accidentally took Teddy one day and Steve nearly had a meltdown

#Erica's has a hair clip #Robin's has a scrunchie #Claudia made Dustin's a little cap #and Steve says Teddy doesn't need an accessory #but when Eddie accidentally gets two of a patch for his new battle jacket #Steve messily sews it onto Teddy's head scarf poncho thing #scoops troop #steddie #henderfam #steveddie #stranger things #stranger things 4 #eddie munson #steve harrington #robin buckley #dustin henderson #erica sinclair

Eddie posts a Tiktok of an old home video with the caption “I AM THE MOST PATIENT MAN IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.”

The video was actually filmed in Gareth’s Mom’s garage after the band’s first world tour. In it, Gareth is filming Grant make shadow puppets while slightly off-camera, Steve and Eddie are having a conversation that they’re both too high to be having.

Grant is making his shadow dog’s mouth move along with Steve in the background like, “You want me to be someone’s boss? Like a capitalis- like my dad?? You wanna fuck my dad now, Eddie?”

Eddie, with the deepest sigh: Baby, I just think a service dog would be good for you. And you wouldn’t be its boss, you didn’t hire it

Steve: But it’s doing a job for me. It’s my employee then.

Eddie: You’re not paying him!

Steve: So, like a slave?!

Eddie: No. It’d be like… A service dog is like a friend. They help you out because they’re your friend. And dog is man’s best friend

Steve: Robin is my best friend!

Eddie: Oh my god

#Eddie: *makesca suggestion about Steve’s disability* #Steve in 1988: So you want to sleep with my dad? is that what you’re saying? #Eddie fought a long and hard battle for Steve to get a service animal #and then he finally gets one it’s a dog that steals Eddie’s Doritos #eddie munson tiktok saga #steve harrington #eddie munson

Yugioh cards have to be so specific with their wording because even if a card says "your opponent literally can't do anything to stop this card's activation," there will inevitably be some card called "Tomfoolery of the Forbidden Scallywag" that allows you to bypass that kind of restriction if your opponent drank a glass of lemonade before the match started.

#tcg #yugioh #ygo #there are only #two cards that let you #have two battle phases #both of which are bad #and now every card #says each #battle phase #instead of #the battle phase #anime

Avatar Karlach: You got it. Next stop, Zariel's forge. Final stop, Faerûn.

Wyll: Fuck yeah, that's my girl! Oh shit - I'm starting to pick up your bad habits. Well, fuck it. In for a coin, in for a coffer.

devnote: Oopsy - he's been picking up some bad language habits from Karlach!

Gordon has a new detective, freshly transferred to his department, who Will Not Stop Making Death Puns

And he's about ready to commit murder.

The man is very, very good at his job. He seems to stumble across evidence without realizing what he's doing, and freaks out suspects at interrogation tables by bringing up crap his wife and husband do that perfectly mirrors the suspect's story, and then points out the inconsistencies.

He is quickly becoming the most hated man in the department, in terms of who criminals hate.

Great news, Gordon's 100% sure he isn't corrupted.

Bad news, Gordon's 100% sure of that because he keeps easily outing corrupted cops with an ease that makes Gordon feel like he's been wasting time all these years.

So when Batman pisses Gordon off just a little too much, goes over his head one too many times, Gordon decides "fuck it, he get's to deal with Detective Daniel Foley."

But as he's walking away, as Foley starts to hand over the files, he hears the most Dreaded Phrase that man can ever say.

"Ya know, my wife-"

Basically Danny is married to Sam and Tucker, both he and Sam took Tucker's last name, and Danny is a modern Columbo.

Only he speaks to ghosts for easy cheat codes to evidence.

@simplestoryteller

#Danny is modern Columbo #“ya know my wife-she's big into superheroes. and she's never seen one with as much high tech as you.” #batman making an excuse about being prepared #“ya know my husband-he's in the tech industry. got himself a job at wayne enterprises-very smart man. he says your tech is uh...expensive.” #batman starting to clue in that this guy is only pretending to be a dumbass #they stare at each other #battle of the himbo energy #both are hyper competent but both pretend to be dumb as fuck #Sam and Tucker refuse to go to the family get togethers #half the department thinks he's lying about being married #a quarter think he's only married to a wife/husband #and a quarter fully believe him about being poly #dcxdp #dpxdc #dc x dp #dp x dc #story prompt #the whole “my wife/husband” thing started as a joke to annoy said wife and husband #but it pisses criminals off so much that he keeps using it
