thinking a lot abt tess.
thinking abt her immediately parenting ellie, even when she can't be sure it's real, and even when joel is still ready to shoot her. thinking abt her knowing joel well enough to tell him to put his gun down from the other room, because she just knows he's raised it. thinking abt her treating joel so gently and calmly, even when his pessimism and anger is driving her mad, right up until the end. thinking abt how she was ready to get joel and ellie to the fireflies even knowing she couldn't continue on with them. thinking abt the pure panic when she realises they've gone, the way joel immediately knows something's wrong because tess has always been the calm one, tess is always keeping him from freaking out, what else could be wrong but the worst possible scenario? thinking abt "i never asked you for anything. not to feel the way i felt," right after joel refused to define their relationship to ellie, and right after slipping into bed at night to hold him but still getting up before him so he doesn't have to acknowledge it in the light of day - thinking of the way joel jolts to say something, to reassure her, and she immediately begs him not to. thinking about the terrible, longing look in joel's eyes before he leaves. thinking about "save who you can save", and joel accepting that tess will have to be another person he loved and watched this wasteland tear apart. thinking about the infection kissing her before joel ever did.

Daniel's turning scene is my favorite in all of canon tied with Armand's, and the parallels make me scream!
Both of them dying from some sort of poison (Daniel, alcohol; Armand, literal poison). Both of them finally having worn down a maker that wasn't ready to make them quite yet but their clocks were running out.
Even parts of the phrasing where Marius and Armand ask for the final consent to seal the fate of their young lovers (Daniel is young compared to a five hundred year old Armand, don't @ me) sound remarkably similar.
TVA:
"Very well, beautiful one. This is the moment. Would you come with me, and be like me?" His [Marius'] voice was rich and soothing, though it was full of pain.
"Yes, always and forever yours."
"Forever to thrive in secret on the blood of the evildoer, as I thrive, and to abide with these secrets until the end of the world, if need be."
"I shall. I want it." ~ Armand
QotD:
"Say the word, my love," Armand said. "I'll do it. We'll be in hell together after all."
"But don't you see," Daniel said, "all human decisions are made like this. Do you think the mother knows what will happen to the child in her womb? Dear God, we are lost, I tell you. What does it matter if you give it to me and it's wrong! There is no wrong! There is only desperation, and I would have it! I want to live forever with you."
Except Armand to Daniel sees the Dark Gift as the ultimate condemnation, whereas Marius to Amadeo presents it as a world full of new possibilities—even though he himself is hurting.

Behold! It is done!! The words aren't quite as legible as I wanted (apparently the blue I used for cross-stitching the marks was lighter than I thought lmao) and the one side started fraying before I finished the edges, but overall I'm very happy with it! Image description in alt text :D

The Mario movie was cute, best scenes are the ones with the bros just being. Bros.
Peppino is their cousin. That's it, that's the funny.
And per tradition? I guess? Some more (unfortunately Mario-less) doodles under the cut.
... Yeah. Twinsomnia again. These damn sibs are still on my brain. They're here to - Oh? Oh, Peppino's not a kid? They had the wrong address? Oh well. Might as well help him get through the tower!
Something-something functioning as a single character, something-something throwing each other around, something-something basically Gus and Brick.
Some more self-indulgent crossover'ish nonsense...
Same mirror, same man, different time, different reflections. Shoutout to @/rascal-rose for the idea of young Peppino having curly hair!! I cherish him.
And some wholesome stuff to top it off. (I feel like my handwriting is especially bad on the last one, so just in case, it goes "Buongiorno, ranocchio. Do you want the coffee?".)
