Boyfriend headcanons for Matt Sturniolo🩵

a/n: Hello hello again :)) First time writing for the love of my life Matt😍😜 and these are just some headcanons I imagine for Matt, aka; feeding into my own AND your delusions😚🥰

ALSO I’m not from America or anything so I just picked Taco Bell as the random restaurant/ fast food place💀

I still hope you enjoy reading though!

Matt Sturniolo x reader

warnings: kissing, maybe some sort of angst?(not really)

summary: what the title says, headcanons of how I think Matt would be as a boyfriend🩵

SORRY FOR ANY SPELLING MISTAKES❕

————————————————————————

I’ve seen this headcanon a lot, but I agree with it so so much, and that is Matt and back hugs/hugs from behind. I can just picture it so perfectly

It’s an early morning and you’ve slipped out of bed before Matt, you went into his bathroom and you’re brushing your teeth.

Meanwhile you hear Matt get up, he walks into the bathroom all sleepy and he hugs you from behind, arms around your waist, head in your neck and a groggy morning voice.

"good morning"

"morning.."

I also feel like Matt would want you to be open with him about how you’re feeling and if anything is bothering you

He would want you to be comfertable enough with him to where you can talk to him at any moment no matter what, he doesnt care if you think you’re being overdramatic or stupid, becuase to him it’s not

You’re the most important thing to him along side his brothers, and he would sit there and listen to everything you had to say, holding you in a side hug and rubbing your back

You and Matt are sat on his bed, he had noticed you being a little off today and he decided to ask you about it.

You originally decided against telling him, but both you and Matt knew better, he knew you well enough to know if you were lying, so you just sighed and sat down on his bed.

A few tears escaped your eyes as you told him all about the feelings that were overwhelming you.

He just sat there, by your side rubbing your back comfortingly listening to everything you said.

"It’s going to be alright baby, I’m right here"

Matt always made you feel so seen and heard, he was everything you could ask for and more.

After you’d called down a little, he wiped your tears with his thumbs and kisses your lips before you both layed down and spendt the night cuddling in bed.

I also feel like Matt is the type to always and I mean ALWAYS ask you if you want anything as well, no matter where or what it is

Wether its buying food, just stopping at the gass station, him looking for clothes, stopping for a coffee, it doesnt matter, he’ll always make sure just in case

"you want anything?"

"want me to grab you some as well?"

"you sure you dont want anything?"

I feel like Matt would enjoy late night drives with you. Wether it’s just the two of you being bored, that you guys just need to get out of the house or just to talk in private, I think he would enjoy it still

You could drive around and talk about random things or serious topics, sometimes you would grab food and just sit in a parking lot and just talk while you guys eat

Matt would definetly let you wear his clothes, he’d give you his hoodies and sweaters whenever you got cold or needed it. No questions asked. It could be snowing and he’d be near death already, but he would still have given you his hoodie (we love Matt💕)

You, Matt, Chris and Nick were out in town, not for anything in particular, but Nick was looking for some new shirts, and the rest of us just tagges along since we didnt really have any other plans.

Chris wanted to stop by the grocery store as he was out of pepsi and he also wanted some snack for later.

Once we all got back in the car again, we all agreed to go get some food. We decided to stop by Taco Bell, for once we also decided to eat there and nor take it with us.

Today had been somewhat chilly, but I hadnt brought a jacket with me. A strong wind blew by me and a few strands of hair went in my face. Matt took notice of my body language, seeing my high shoulders and how I was somewhat hugging myself to try to bring myself some warmth.

He locked the car doors and came over to me, laying an arm around my shoulder. He pusher some strands of hair behind my ear.

"Want my hoodie?" he asked.

"No no, it’s alright Matt, it’s my own fault for forgetting to bring one" I let out a dry laugh.

He gave me a questionable look and started taking off his hoodie disregarding what I just said. After taking it off, he handed it to me.

"Here" he just smiled at me.

"Thank you Matt" I put on his hoodie already feeling warmer by his body warmth still lingering in it.

"Of course sweetie" he gave me a quick peck on the lips and intertwined our hand as we started walking inside.

————————————————————————

These are all the headcanons for Matt so far, I hope you liked them, I really enjoyed writing it :))

I might make a part 2 later if anyone wants that and just send in any requests or ideas if you have any!

I hope youve had a good day or night and dont forget that youre absolutely worth it!! <3

-dexiie💕

Some more highlights of the Archie Goodwin/Carmine Infantino STAR WARS comics from the period between the first two movies.

Issue #28. Han can't resist being snotty even to someone who's been actively trying to kill him for days:

Issue #29. The bounty hunter Valance finds that Darth Vader is no easy opponent:

Issue #30. Leia on her own, infiltrating an Imperial installation:

Issue #33. Baron Orman Tagge (elder brother of the officer who complains to Vader in the movie about the dangers of the Rebels having the plans to the Death Star) has been practicing for years with the lightsaber in hopes of avenging himself on Vader. Luke demonstrates that it won't be quite so easy:

Issue #34. Even months before THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, Leia does clearly like scoundrels at least a little:

Issue #35. Dark Horse later dragged out Vader's efforts to discover the identity of the pilot who destroyed the Death Star in a disappointing and mediocre four-issue miniseries (VADER'S QUEST). Goodwin and Infantino handle it in a splash page:

Issue #36. Han Solo offers some important life advice:

Vader corrupts Orman Tagge's sister Domina, whom Orman has unsuccessfully attempted to keep out of the family's political intrigues by making her a priestess of a monastic order. (Domina Tagge has recently reappeared in the DOCTOR APHRA series, where she has the same outfit, but not the same background or motivations — she's now just a SW version of Lena Luthor from SUPERGIRL.)

Han can't ever leave well enough alone:

Issue #37. Orman Tagge belatedly realizes how out of his depth he's always been in his rivalry with Darth Vader:

Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 1): General Character Bracket 8

Chelli Lona Aphra | Identity: lesbian | Media: Star Wars Comics

Oh Aphra, where to begin. Honestly the best way I can describe her is that she’s Star Wars’ Vriska. She’s a “rogue archeologist” and in marketing material sometimes compared to Indiana Jones, but the only similarity is that she can feature in the same wacky stories about retrieving artifacts except with none of the mismatch between modern ideas about archeology and repatriation and Indy being the hero, because she specifically isn’t. She was originally created for the 2015 Darth Vader comic series, recruited to help Vader raise a force that would let him coup the Emperor. She was so popular she then got her own comic series, making her the breakout star of the Disney/Marvel Star Wars comics. The Fandom Menace can’t touch her.

Her comics have been a series of frankly strange adventures involving Force artifacts, Vader either working with her or wanting her dead, and double crosses that leave your head spinning. She has Thrawn level tactical abilities, but only for schemes. She is haunted by how her trauma born behaviors make it hard for her to maintain relationships and be a good person. She has so many exes it's an entire section of this tournament. Her most significant relationships have been with Sana Starros and Magna Tolvan. As of the end of the Spark Eternal arc, the comic seems to be leaning towards a poly ending with the three of them, but first Aphra needs to stop self sabotaging.

One of Aphra’s greatest achievements was at the end of her 2016 comic run, where she trapped Vader in a PTSD flashback Force artifact on Tython and hacked his suit to allow her to erase Hoth from the Empire’s records. She did this for the sake of her loved ones who had joined the Alliance. Doing this gave Echo Base enough time to build up before they were found again that they were able to evacuate much more efficiently. That’s right, disaster lesbian love saved the Rebellion.

Brene | Identity: wlw | Media: War of the Bounty Hunters

Brene is a member of Boushh’s queer found family. A fellow Ubese exile, she was the first one recruited by Boushh and became his lieutenant. A bounty hunter crew, they were hired by Crimson Dawn to kill the entire executive board of the Tagge Corporation. Domina Tagge was the only survivor of this attack, and for their lives and a promise of their exile being rescinded, they betrayed Crimson Dawn and got a new job working for Domina. They later defended Domina from a Crimson Dawn coup. Brene found Domina attractive when she was carving through Crimson Dawn operatives with her protoblade. She also makes bad jokes.

From the script notes shared by Alyssa Wong, she is “A small, cheerful, mischievous sweetheart” and “will steal your snack and eat them just to see how you'll react”

Hy everyone, I'm going to be reviewing the third Umbrella Academy season chapter by chapter couse I couldn't fit every thought in a single post!

I'm going to comment some important bits and then list the details I liked most in chronological order, hope you enjoy and feel free to rant in the comments/taggs with me <3

Episode 1: Meet the Family

Theories and analysis:

I think Ben is a bit sensitive about the scar because he got it during the Jennifer Incident and even though it didn't kill him this time around it probably was what led to his eventual demotion to number 2

I don't know if it's confirmed but I want to believe Christopher communicates through telepathy with the others

I'm going to bring this up again but why do they all suddenly think Five knows what might be different in the timeline? The whole show is about him not knowing this kind of stuff and trying to find out.

One of the things that bother me this season is that some of the conflict seems a bit fabricated. For example, I get that we need conflict right away but the Sparrows dismiss the Brellies so fast and have a very bullie like kind of humor? And the Brellies get so defensive of their childhood home, which they didn't even seem to like during the previous seasons, even before the Sparrows become hostile

Another example of this is nobody realizing that Claire doesn't exist before it's revealed. Allison hasn't lived the same life in this timeline, obviously Claire is not going to exist

I love how it's a consistent theme that Klaus kind of just comes across plot relevant shit without trying (Part 1. Hotel Obsidian)

Watching Viktor and Allison during the first half of the season hurts me so much because they could have finally had the good relationship they wanted since season one

I know we don't get to know much about how the Sparrows work in this timeline but I think the closest we get to knowing are Marcus' interactions and him referring to civilians as "sheep" when he talks to Viktor

Ok. As much as I love the Stanley plotline and Diego trying to figure out how to be a dad, how does anyone entertain this???? Does. Does it look like Lila is 12 years older now??? TO ANYONE????

I'll come back to this later too but after all the promos and such I expected all the Sparrows to have more screentime during this season kind of the way Lila did the previous one so it's a bit of a shame we didn't get to know them that much.

Details + Stuff I liked:

I didn't expect Ben's family in particular to want to keep him so it's a bit reassuring that they did

WTF is RegiNaLd WeAriNg

Jayme and Alphonso beating up racists

Marcus discreetly motioning Ben out of the way so he can be in the center

"Cute hat, Sundance" is my new favorite sentence ever

I love the dynamic between Sloane and Luther since minute one (1)

Diego immediately putting the knife back when he sees Grace

We do not deserve the footloose scene but man, do we love it:

"Oh shit, we're really good at this!!"

Alphonso's very excited face while dancing

Christopher becoming a disco ball

Ben and Klaus dancing together will ✨never✨ fail to bring me joy

GRACE DOING THE ROBOT

Klaus immediately going "wow look at you not being dead, shitty haircut btw, oh look at that scar in your face, anyway how about a hug???" at Sparrow Ben

Klaus' very dramatic fall after the punch

Reginald noping out of the fight and going for some biscuits

Klaus interrupting Luther and Marcus' fistfight to pass through without being hit

Christopher using telepathy explicitly to insult Diego's hair

Five very calmly going through existential problems while discussing with Ben

Alphonso, Jayme and Sloan chilling with some popcorn while Fei fights cause "she's making a point"

"See? We're hugging! This is progress!"

Finally knowing what Five imagines Delores like and them lovingly talking in Italian to each other

If he didn't before Five definitely has a concussion after falling down the stairs. Repeatedly

The Sparrows casually discussing dinner while beating someone up

The umbrellas knowing the secret passages of the house

Reginald struggling to open the biscuit box

Klaus going for the biscuit

Five noping out the second he sees Viktor starting to glow

"Here you go, it's your ass"

Luther also being concussed

"Dickhead"

The sandwiches in numeric order

The Brellies looking like a decadent boyband

People actually looking at them because they strangely resemble the Kennedy 6

Klaus encouraging Luther, even if it's to insult the Sparrows correctly

Everyone slowly turning to Klaus because they need a weirdass place to stay and Of CoUrSe he knows a place

Them all going though the same door but Five going through the door even though he points out there's another one

In this house we stan Chet

Luther and Diego both playing with the doggie like the himbos they are

Ok we love Luther being like "put the knife awaY" when Diego shows the knife but can we talk about the fact that FIVE HAS TEETH IN HIS POCKET???

None of them asking Allison to rumor them some rooms

That's cute, Diego thinks Reginald loves them

The Sparrows training scene, for reasons

Sparrow Ben having the audacity to say they can use the Brellies' lack of loyalty towards one another when he himself doesn't have an ounce of it

Luther loving the summer camp experience

FIVE FINALLY SLEEPING

Would also need my headphones if a baby was crying on the bus

Marcus being a poser

Marcus assuming Viktor is number 1 and being like "well somebody screwed that up" after finding out he is number 7

Viktor being both hot and scary af during that scene

Klaus having the audacity to criticize table manners after peeing through an open window hours/minutes before

Diego, sweetie: Five being older than you doesn't make him a boomer, you were born the same day

Klaus being a confirmed pro clone-fucker cause oF CoURse hE iS

Lila just dropping Stanley with Diego like "here you go, a child"

"Hello Stanley"

I know Grace being religious is a reference to the comics but omg I was not prepared

Damn Marcus. That was fast

Trying to make a compilation of “good” vermin characters in Redwall, since I feel like the books get a little generalized in the idea that they’re always “all vermin are bad, all woodlanders are good” all the time. It is MOST of the time, but not as often as people say! Let me know if I forgot any, there’s a few of the later books that my memory is a little foggy on and I haven’t read Doomwyte or The Rouge Crew yet so I might have missed some characters from there.

Redwall - Squire Julian and Captain Snow (Captain Snow needs to be convinced, but still that’s better then most antagonists)

Mossflower - Gingivere and Sandingomm, old unnamed rat living alone on the beach (he was killed by seagulls and found by Martin and co), arguably Ashleg too, since he scarpered before the final fight and dreamed of living someplace peaceful. I think there’s also an argument for Verdauga, since even though he’s a conqueror he’s shown in a more positive light then Tsarmania, and Argular who seems like a neutral party at best but not actively malicious.

Martin the Warrior - maybe Wulpp? He gets spared by Brome

The Bellmaker - the LEGENDARY and beloved Blaggut

Outcast of Redwall - Bluefen obviously, but I guess we can include Veil in this (even though I really hate how his character was handled) Arguably the flock of crows attacking Swartt’s army as well, since they were doing it in revenge for their leader’s mother being killed.

Pearls of Lutra - Romsca, another legendary example. Graylunk as well; when he fled to Redwall he became good friends with Fermald the squirrel and trusted the pearls to her when he realized he was dying. I would also put forth an argument for Barranca (Romsca’s captain), since he seemed more interested in overthrowing Ublaz Mad Eyes to avenge his brother and because Ublaz was a dangerous, untrustworthy ruler rather then for a selfish desire for power.

The Long Patrol - I would say the two doofy foot soldiers Lousewort and Sneezewort, since they spend the whole book in over their head, don’t really hurt anyone, and then skedaddle before the final fight.

Marlfox - the water rat soldiers of the Marlfoxes seem eager to throw their weapons into the lake and give up their lives as soldiers. It’s implied that though some of them relished the power they had in the army, most of them were there against their will.

Lord Brocktree - Groddil is a little ambiguous, but the book absolutely supports his vengeance for his family and bodily injuries when he pushes Ungatt Trunn out to sea.

Taggerung - Sawney Rath is a REALLY fascinating character, who is a good if ruthless leader who genuinely cares for Tagg as a baby. He’s definitely a villain, with him ordering the death of Rillflag and Tagg’s kidnapping, but he has enough moments of genuine love for the kid that he becomes very engaging. The biggest injustice this book did was killing him off so soon, when they could have REALLY explored the depths of his and Tagg’s weird fucked up relationship.

Triss - Plugg Firetail and the crew of the Seascab. Again, not really GOOD per say, but Plugg was unusual in that he and his crew actively cared about each other and his crewmates were devastated when he was killed.

Loamhedge - Flinky and Crinktail are vermin mates who actually love each other! Flinky also ends up leading his group to a good location where they settle down permanently are implied to never resort to their previous bad ways again.

Rakkety Tam - We don’t know much about Askor, but he definitely is a far cry from the monster that is his brother. He comes off more as proud in the one scene we have of him, but not actively cruel. Same with their father, Dramz.

High Rhulian - while it’s definitely a stretch to call Lady Kaltag sympathetic (since she’s the queen of an island of slaves and all) her grief over the death of her son feels very real and visceral, as does her fall into madness over it; Especially when contrasted to the hare Cuthburt’s similar reaction to the death of his own daughter. And Jeefra is just so pathetic and his death is so brutal that it’s hard not to feel a little sorry for him.

The Sable Quean - Gliv and Lugg also aren’t really good people, but they fall into a similar category as Flinky and Crinktail, in that they’re mated vermin who actually love each other.

And just for fun, here’s some “bad” (or morally ambiguous) woodlander characters:

Mattimeo - Skan the shrew and his friends (abandoned the Guoism shrews to try and help Slagar, but he just made them slaves)

Mariel of Redwall - Pakatugg is pretty self interested for most of the book and pretty mean to Mariel, until his final stand with the Salamandastron hares at the end.

Salamandastron - Arguably Wild King MacPhearsome, just because it’s presented as a possibility that he’d kill Thugg and Dumble when they first hear about him

Martin the Warrior - FULL OF ‘EM TBH; we got the Pygmy Shrews (they keep slaves of their own and only free Martin and his friends because they saved the leader’s annoying son), the pack of murderous squirrels that make a game out of attacking people, the family of stuffy rabbits who try to scare travelers because they’re snobs, and the hedgehog who poisons people eating his cherries. And of course Druwp the bankvole slave who sells out the other slaves in exchange for food and luxuries.

The Long Patrol - interestingly I would argue that The Long Patrol itself is shown in a pretty morally ambiguous light in this book; Cregga’s battlelust is feared even by her hares and her mad charge after the Rabscallions is disapproved of by many of her officers. The price they all pay for the battle is very high, with the death of several major characters and Cregga being blinded. Russa even tells Tammo on her deathbed that it’s alright if he doesn’t join the Long Patrol, because he isn’t battle hardened and harsh like them. Tammo is an interesting contrast to the Long Patrol hares, because he’s easily one of the most sensitive warrior main characters in the series and there’s an indication that both he and Russano change Salamandastron to be less warlike and more peaceful when they return there.

Marlfox - Fenno the shrew, who kills Log-a-log, and the Gray One, a sly water vole who takes over Burble’s tribe and plans to steal the green stick from Song.

The Legend of Luke - Folgrim ate people

Lord Brocktree - while they are ultimately a force for good, I like how morally ambiguous Jukka was and how she and Fleetscut clashed over their ideals so often. Also Bucko is practically an antagonist until Dotti wins their competition.

Taggerung - Even though we never see him in person (alive), Nimbalo’s father is actively abusive, to the point where he’s driven both his wife and son away. Nimbalo does end up avenging him anyway though

Rakkety Tam - The Squirrel King and Queen are really not shown in a good light at alllll

Eulalia! - Orkwil Prink is a little shit hedgehog who gets banished from the Abbey for a season for stealing constantly. I remember finding him pretty unlikable, but in hindsight he does feel like a redo of Veil’s character if Veil actually learned any lessons (like Veil who was the son of a warlord, Orkwil was the son of thieves who abandoned him as a child)

#redwall #bored badgering #I feel like the morals of redwall get a little overgeneralized #by people who haven't read the books in 20 years

Hello! I am currently working on my comic project (Code name: Gems)

I am seeking interest from people. I kinda need motivation and knowing that people will want to get it when I publish it.

It will first be published in french AND english. Maybe, if it's successful, I will hire someone to translate it in more languages like spanish, german and others.

The story is quite vage, at least on the viewer's side: you aren't supposed to know in what direction they are going next since they are kind of lost themselves. We follow Labra or Lab for short, a young Golem that lost her sibling when she was a kid, and Klint, a rare example of a Dreamer (race of Golem) that is chased by Scientists wanting to do experiences on them.

The two leave the mountains (Labra's birth place) to escape the chase and seeking helpers. They quickly find out that a worst fate is to happen to them...

Btw, Labra she/her and Klint they/them

The others on the picture are either introduced much later or less important (Domini is just for background)

You might see some references of popular shows in designs for background characters ;)

If anyone IS interested, Please tell me! You can check my DA for more WIPs And/or ask for some here. DA: Dear chose

If you want to share fan-designs of golems I would gladly look at them and if wanted, I can add them in the comic! I will probably not add too much, so if you want, you need to be quick (It will be faster if I don't have to design every background characters, and I want to include the comunity when there is one) For me to see it, tagg me or use the #GemsComic

I talked a lot, Here are a bit of art I already did of the characters:

This one is the Golem creation sheet if you want to create your own :)

Now I'm done talking, I think ✅

This is a fnf fanfiction of an au that i thought of and that was "what if Whitty had a mom or siblings" obviously 'Whitty isn't mine nor are the 'siblings' (Conrad, Flint,Lissie or Lizzie I don't remember which why the creator spelled it and "FunSize Whitty" who will come in later and who I'll be calling Wisp. But someone else's if you know who made them pleases tell me so i can tagg them properly). But the two people who are mine are Blazsa and my human-like OC Desiree or Desi/Des. If this goes well I'll try to write more but this is what I got so far and if you guys have any suggestions of what I should do next would really help. I have some ideas of what to do for later in the story but I havn't got to that point yet but anyways I hope you like it enjoy 😉

Ps: If you want to know more about Blazsa I have her more figured out than Desiree but I'll try to answer for both of them.

Info for Blazsa AKA-Mama Whitmore

She may look intimidating but she's very friendly. She and Whitty have similar personalities. The only times when she's ticked is when either you constantly provoke her or you try to hurt her family or friends.

She can be distracted easily, she loves all types of music but sometimes she would rather listen to disney one day and rock another. She was the one who started whitty's dream of writing songs. But (don't really think it's canon but with me it is.) Daddy Dearest & Mommy Mearest were the ones to "Inspired me to rap and sing."(RecD) But when he released his album, she and his sibling were actually able to listen to it. They were so proud of him and happy to know he was alive. Lizzie's favorite song from his album is "Lo-fight", Conrad and Blazsa's favorite is "Overhead", and Flint´s is "Balistice''.

intro/Chap-#1

How I think they find him or him finding them, however you like to think about it. Since technically (probably) all of them are 80% unknown then I like to think that they have some kind of animal tendencies. And If they can tell if someone is a bad person,and if they're good. They all have a specific one that they're really good at, like Blazsa has seismic sense, Whitty has cat-like agility, Conard can read body language,Flint has strong intuition, Wisp can remember voices, and Lissie can remember faces.

But anyways as they were walking around they had to, 1-find some food and some place to sleep, and 2- to find Whitty. That's when a church caught the eye of the youngest child.

"Mama look, look!"

"Hmm, what is it sweetie?"

"Lookie!"

Blazsa looked to where the small dynamite stick in her arms was pointing too.

"Ah, sweet a church, I really hope no one is here, but if there are people let's hope they're nice."

Blazsa said with relief, and a hint of tiredness.

"Yeah, I'm too tired to run again."

"Yeah same."

Conrad and Flint said as they dragged their feet. They all walked up to the church, and Blazsa knocked on the door. A few seconds go by waiting for a response, that's when they heard a femint voice say.

“I’ll be there in a sec.”

“That’s fine, no need to rush.”

The door swings open and a woman in a nun outfit covered in pink comes out. “Oh hello, is there something you need?”

She asked looking up at Blazsa.

“If it isn’t any trouble would it be all right if me and my kids stay here for the night ?”

Blazsa said as she got down on one of her knees.

“Oh yes,yes come in, come in!”

She said moving out of the way so the family could come in.

“Oh uh,...thank you.”

Blazsa’s shocked as she gets up and lets her sons in first.

"Oh, ma do you want me to hold Lizzie so you can get inside."

"Yeah, I think that's best. I don't want to hurt her."

She handed the little one to her big brother so she could get in. The giant humanoid bomb had to crowch down low enough just to get inside almost crawling because of her abnormal height.

"I really do appreciate you doing this Ms..uh…?"

"Oh, silly me, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Sarvente but call me Sarv for short."

"Hehe, you're fine Sarv, oh and I'm Blazsa, but you can call me Blaze if you want to, and these are my kids. The Canon head is Conard, my second eldest son."

She pointed to the benches to a very tall humanoid canon. He waved as he was acknowledged. Sarv waved back with a soft smile.

"The firework is my third eldest son, Flint."

Sarv looked to the firework boy that was looking around to know his surroundings.

“And the youngest is my daughter Lizzie, the dynamite stick that Conrad is holding.”

Sarv looked back to the cannon head to see the small dynamite stick wave and with a small kind voice. “Hewo." "Hello little one."

"Well, since you all will be staying for the night would you all like something to eat?"

Right when food was mentioned everyone's head shot up and turned to Sarv.

"If you really don't mind Sarv." Blazsa said, looking down at her, then glancing at her kids.

"It's no problem, since people donate food here we have plenty." "Probably not after this." Flint muttered under his breath.

(Time Skip)

“This is really good Ms.Sarv.” Flint said as he stuffed his face.

“Why thank you Flint.”

Everyone was eating spaghetti, mashed potatoes, green beans, and some bistices.

“I really do appreciate you doing this, Sarv.”

“Like I said Blasza, it’s no trouble.”

That’s when they heard the door open and closed. “Sarv, I’m back.”

A man with a russian accent said as footsteps were heard.

“I’m glad you got back before it got too late, I was starting to worry a little. Oh and don’t freak out but a family needed to stay for the night.”

“Sarv I know I can’t stop you, but you could have texted me that earlier or called.”

The man said with a hint of annoyance in his monotone voice.

“I know, but I got distracted with making food, but how are Tabi and Whitty doing?”

Sarv said as she put an extra plate for the man, and sat down herself

“They are doing ok, but that blue-haired punk tried to rap, battling us again and Tabi almost killed him, while Whitty was trying not to punt him like a football. Which was funny to watch, but I held them back and got them out of there.”

He said as there was amusement in his voice.

“Hahaha..oh gosh, that does sound like them-hehehe.”

That’s when he walked in the kitchen, and saw the bomb family. He stood in the doorway for a few seconds with what looked like a slight surprised expression on his face. But then he looked like he just shrugged it off; like it wasn’t anything really new to him. Which confused Blazsa a little, but she didn’t question it and continued to eat and help Lissie every now and then.

“Oh and this is Rav, the guy I was telling you about earlier.”

“Oh, alrighty.”

“Rav, this is Blazsa and her children Conrad,Flint, and Lissie.”

Sarv pointed to them so he would know who was who.

“It is nice to meet you.” He said with a slight nod.“But, I do have a question, uh…Blazsa was it?”

“Yeah that’s me, but you can call me *Blaze* if you want to.” She rubbed the back of her head in slight nervousness.

“Hmm, I will keep that in mind. Anyways my question is do you have any relation to someone named Whitty?” Rav said with a slight suspension as his eyes narrowed a little. “The only reason I ask this question is because he is a very good friend of mine.”

Sarv could tell he was getting protective. “Rav, I don’t think they are planning to hurt him, after all they’re getting hunted by the same person as he is.”

Rav looked at her then back to Blazsa. “She is telling the truth, plus why would I hurt my own son.”

She as if it was nothing, Rav and Sarv eyes went wide and looked at eachother, then back at her.

“Wait,wait…hold up, Whitty is your son?!?!?” Sarv said as she was shocked and happy at the same time. Rav just looked so confused. “Yes??...He is my son.”

August 1979. Modern reprints of old comics are digitally recolored and usually printed on much heavier, whiter paper stock than the cheap newsprint that was the norm through the mid-1980s. While modern print production usually gives much sharper reproduction than was possible 40 or more years ago, when it comes to color, the results aren't always an improvement. Some modern editions take significant liberties with original palette, adding tones and highlights and/or digital effects that were neither envisioned nor possible when the original version was published. (Dark Horse's EC ARCHIVES are absolutely ruinous in this regard, an insult to the memory of original colorist Marie Severin.) Even when the reconstruction follows the original palette closely, it often fails to take into account the way different paper stocks absorb ink, which frequently makes the color art look gaudy in a way it originally didn't.

Here's a comparative example from issue #26 of the original Marvel STAR WARS series. This sequence is noteworthy because original colorist Petra Goldberg did an outstanding job in establishing the mood of an unusual and evocative scene. Luke Skywalker, piloting a captured TIE Fighter, has just destroyed a House of Tagge facility located deep within the atmosphere of Yavin, a gas giant. Although he was able to follow a Tagge beacon on his way in, he's just destroyed that beacon, and the storms and strong magnetic field of Yavin make both visual navigation and instruments useless, as Luke had been warned prior to the mission. The original page:

Next, here's the digitally recolored version:

First, note that the reconstruction has eliminated the orange and yellow that Goldberg used to indicate the explosion. In the original version, the center of the explosion is yellow, surrounded by an area of orange that branches out into the lines of force indicating the shockwave. The digital version has replaced the yellow with white and the orange with pink, making the explosion less distinct from the surrounding clouds; in the original, the orange and yellow make clear that the clouds are being lit by the explosion, which isn't the case in the digital version. In the second panel, the digital version makes Bob Wiacek's Zipatone texture fills much more apparent (maybe more than they need to be) and has eliminated what appear to be unintended splotches of purple on Luke, but the pale yellow of the original shading on his face and helmet has been changed to white. The third panel sticks to the original palette, but is a couple of shades brighter, and the highlights on the purple cloud behind the ship look less sickly, losing the sense that the light is fading.

Here's the following page:

And the digitally recolored version:

There are fewer coloring liberties this time (although notice that the shading on the center ridge of Luke's helmet in the first panel has gone), but the final panel reveals a Zipatone fill on Luke's face that's not at all evident in the original panel — whether it's just not visible in the printed comic or was added in the reconstruction, I couldn't say without seeing the original pages. The principal dilemma here is that that the colors appear both brighter and crisper, which is not at all what Goldberg was going for originally. The point of this scene is that Luke is lost in the clouds, flying blind, so on newsprint, even the lighter blues and pinks are more muted and variegated. By in effect turning up the brightness and contrast, the original sense of claustrophobia is dampened, which isn't an improvement.

This kind of recoloring is always going to be a compromise, and some of the challenges it presents don't have straightforward answers. (For instance, should you fix obvious coloring errors in the original? Should that extend to altering colors to match how characters appeared in later stories?) However, ill-considered or sloppy digital coloring can do significant aesthetic harm.

Newcastle-under-Lyme to take part in 80th anniversary commemoration of the D-Day landings

Newcastle-under-Lyme is playing its part in the national 80th anniversary commemoration of the D-Day landings. At 9.15pm on Thursday, June 6th a beacon will be lit in Queens Gardens, Newcastle, one of many across the nation, to mark the Allied landings in Normandy in 1944. Guests will attend a civic church service at St Giles Church at 8pm before walking to Castle House for the ceremony. Simon Tagg, the Leader of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, said: “The residents of this borough have a long connection with our Armed Forces spanning centuries. “The Second World War was an event that dominated and shaped the lives of those who lived through it: many people left this area to do their duty to help others and never returned. “It’s only right that we properly mark the 80th anniversary of such a momentous moment and remember those who died – and also think of those who carried on having lost loved ones.” The church service is open to the public and guests will include both Leader of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council; the Mayor Cllr Barry Panter, who has served in the Royal Air Force; and a Deputy Lord-Lieutenant of Staffordshire. Anyone wishing to view the lighting of the beacon is welcome to gather in Queens Gardens before 9.15pm. On June 6th 1944 tens of thousands took part in what has subsequently been described as the largest combined land, air and sea military operation in history. The successful invasion of northern France, at a time when the Germans were already fighting Russian forces in the East, paved the way for the end of the war in Europe 11 months later. This year the main commemorative events will be taking place in Normandy and in Portsmouth. However as well as public events, such as the beacon lighting at Queens Gardens, event organisers are offering people the opportunity to mark the anniversary in other ways. More information can be found at here. Read the full article

HAII!! if it hasnt been done yet, could you do revali x reader with basorexia? maybe reader really wants to give him a kiss but she really cant since,, yknow she has lips and he has a fuckin beak so she just decides to give him a lil smooch on the cheek? idk that was just an idea i had in mind, u dont have to write it!

22. basorexia - the overwhelming desire to kiss.

pairing: revali x reader summary: revali spirits you away to enjoy the new years eve festivities.

In the darkness of your room, you awoke to the sound of a soft tapping on your window. Twisting in the mess of blankets and pillows, you pushed aside the papers and textbooks that had accumulated at the foot of the bed, noticing only then that the candle at your desk had long since extinguished.

Head pounding, you rubbed at your tired eyes, feeling heavy. How long had you been asleep?

The tapping grew more insistent, forcing you to get up. Grumbling, you allowed yourself a second to stretch, ignoring how your room felt like water sloshing in a glass.

"Yeah, yeah. Hold on!" You said, hobbling to the window. Brushing the mess of hair from your eyes, you pulled the curtains away and roughly pushed it open.

The culprit hovered outside, eyes bright and smug. Revali looked very much at home though he was floating at a dizzying distance away from the ground. In the sleepy haze, he looked like a painting of some myth you had read before, with the late night sky as his backdrop and the outline of your window as his frame.

"Took you long enough."

"Apologies. I thought some tree branches were hitting the glass."

The Rito made a show of turning in the air. "Funny, I don't see any nearby trees."

"I know," you sighed, disappointed.

Revali rolled his eyes and poked his head through the window, feathers brushing past your cheek as he ignored your personal space in favour of scoping out your room. The stiff turn of his neck as he looked around reminded you of the curious and confused little birds that landed on the sill from time to time.

"Quite a dreary home you have here." Gesturing to the overall darkness, he pointed to your stack of scattered papers. "You shouldn't study without proper lighting, it's bad for your eyes."

"I was asleep."

"Why, I'm surprised. And here I thought you were one of the festive many who choose to stay awake at an ungodly hour in order to count down the remaining seconds of the year."

"Well," you shrugged, not wanting to meet his eyes. "Not like it's anything special. New year, same shit. What difference would a countdown do?"

Biting down on your tongue, you stopped yourself from saying anymore. The cold breeze sifted past the light shirt you were wearing, making you shiver.

He was right, normally you were one of those people who stayed up, excitedly watching the hands of the clocktower tick til they reached midnight. You enjoyed the energy of being in a collective crowd, waiting with bated breath for the first inhale and exhale you would take into the brand new year.

The final month on the Hylian calendar brought a sense of relief and a hope for new beginnings. Usually today of all days you were at your happiest, jumping at the prospect of celebrating along with the rest of the kingdom and yet…

That sinking weight clawed at your chest again, forcing you to clamp down on it once more.

You grimaced. There it was; that bitter feeling. Hylia. How annoying. It twisted in your brain like an angry snake, pulling down your mood and enthusiasm along with it.

Last year you wanted to cheer and dance until the morning light. Now all you felt like was staring at the wall. Or falling asleep.

You blinked, turning back to the window to see Revali patiently waiting for you to continue. Feeling your face warm, you hustled your brain to get a move on. A coherent thought would be great right about…now!

"Hey have you ever wondered why they don't grow trees on this side of the castle? It's not fair the more expensive quarters get all the pretty greenery. I mean, non-noble guests still need that sweet oxygen everyone keeps raving about, you get me?" Shut up brain, that's enough. I said a coherent thought. C o h e r e n t.

Stars in his wings, Revali shook his head but answered anyway. "I agree, it's hardly fair. Also go change into something warm, we need to get you outside."

"What? Why?"

Something in the Rito's expression clued you in to the fact that he wasn't in the mood to play stupid. You've been sitting in the dark for the past few days and it didn't take a private investigator to know it was playing tricks with your head. "Fine, but when I say we go back--we go back, got it?"

He huffed, turning around to give you some privacy. "I promise on my honour."

The brightly lit lanterns of the town square made you squint as you shuffled closer to your guide, the sound of the city loud in your ears.

Though less prominent, the twisting feeling in your gut continued, making you more hyper-alert than usual to the world around you. Adjusting the sleeves of your coat, you followed Revali past the streets, the Rito expertly navigating through the sea of people.

Somewhere along the way he had taken your hand, and you told yourself it was a good way for you both to stick together. Wouldn't want you getting lost and spending the final minutes of the year playing an elaborate game of hide and seek after all. He was a great friend like that. Nevermind that everytime you would hold his wing a little tighter to remind yourself that he was there, he would always squeeze back.

You needed a distraction.

Just focus on everything that's not him.

The night was alive with the sound of music. It didn't matter if you partied with an alcoholic drink in hand, or a glass of milk, everyone in Hyrule was filled with an addictive buzz that came with an event that only happened once a year. Vendors with bright smiles called out from their stalls, the smell of freshly baked sweets or the sizzle of a barbecue beckoning you to take a closer look. To your left, a group of friends raised their hands in the air, loudly welcoming a Goron that had turned up late but regardless had finally arrived.

The archer followed your line of sight, guessing the question bouncing in your head. "Daruk is in Eldin, probably rattling Death Mountain with that story again about the Moblin camp and the barrel of explosives."

"I love that story."

"Of course you would."

"Sorry about your feathers though."

"Whatever, they grew back."

"How about the one's on your--"

"Anyway," he interjected quickly, playfully nudging you to the side and glowering at your laughter. "We've been told to 'take a break'. The other Champions have chosen to spend this day with their families and loved ones. We are planning to regroup and continue preparations in the days following."

"How about you?"

"I already said it."

Your cheeks coloured at the implications of his words, mind replaying the previous sentence. Families and loved ones. Families and loved ones. He didn't even hesitate. You both were not related. So that left you with...

"Woah!" Digging your heels into the dirt, you abruptly paused your brisk walk and saved yourself from colliding with the archer's back.

Stopping at one of the stalls, Revali held two fingers up. You glanced up at him questioningly but he refused to give anything away, expression relaxed. The vendor returned quickly, the Rito thanking them quietly and placing the payment on the bright yellow table cloth along with a large tip in their jar.

He turned around, dropping a square shaped pastry into your hands. It was some kind of rice cake, with a fluffy exterior and a golden baked surface that smelled of butter and felt warm like the sun.

Taking a bite, you smiled at the hints of coconut that were hidden in its sweet flavour. The sticky treat was familiar somehow. "Is this so luck sticks to you in the new year?"

Revali scoffed, though failed to hide his own smile behind the cake held in his wing. "You said the same thing when we first met. You need new material."

"Says the baron of bird puns."

"I am the king." He punctuated the statement by biting into his own rice cake. Offering his wing, he gently took your hand once more, turning back to step again into the busy promenade.

Following him, you noticed that the crowds ever so slowly began to thin. A lantern lit hill was coming up. The grassy expanse was dotted with a few people, though it was blessingly not as populous as the town square. "I should be the one that's surprised. Thought you hated crowds unless their attentions were all on you."

"It's tolerable so long as I am with good company."

The both of you walked up the hill with an unspoken agreement to make it to the top. Taking a seat on the grass, you allowed yourself to breathe, chest heaving from the small burst of exercise after days of being sedentary.

The twinkling lights of Castle Town stretched out before you. Gazing at it, you could imagine all the untold stories hidden in the glowing little pockets of the alleys and in the hushed whispers behind closed doors. Funny how in a city so full of people, one can feel so alone.

Revali was the first to speak, breaking you from your thoughts. "I think I can understand now. Looking at it from this distance, it really can feel like nothing much has changed."

You continued to stare at the lights, trying to focus on a certain string in an attempt to ground yourself. "Yeah. Sometimes it feels like though the world continues to spin, I'm remaining completely still. Just stagnant."

Frowning, you ran your hands through the grass, feeling the dirt shift under your fingers. You could feel your frustrations building, bubbling up to the surface with no way of dragging them back down.

"And the challenges just get worse every year. How am I going to face those old problems and these new ones if I'm still the same lost person I was back then?"

Your voice echoed at the last sentence, making you hide your head in embarrassment. That was loud.

Some strangers relaxing on the hill turned around to flash you an annoyed glare, before quickly returning to their picnics after spotting the Great Eagle Bow on your friend's back.

"I'm so sorry." You wanted more than anything then to dig a hole and hibernate preferrably for the next hundred years or so. "I'm yelling, that isn't like me. I'm so so--"

"There's nothing to be sorry about. You needed to say it." He glanced at you from the corner of his eye. There was a serious element to it that made it a little hard to breathe. "There is one part of that I don't agree with, however."

"What is it?"

"That entire section about you, how did you put it, stagnanting." He twisted a wing in the air, thinking on his words before pointing a feather directly at your face. "You're fully capable of enacting the change you want to see in yourself."

You felt a little dizzy now. But another kind of dizzy, one very different from the vertigo you felt waking up in the darkness of your room.

"And who said you were exactly the same as you were back then? You've changed. In a good way. You're stronger and more capable of things I'm sure the person you were two years ago or even less couldn't even fathom doing."

Turning to face you, Revali gave you his full attention, compelling you to do the same as the cadence of his speech joined the steady rhythm of your own beating heart. From the back of your mind, you could barely register the sound of people gathering together, their voices floating into the cold night air.

'Ten!'

"It's difficult to see your own progress from a distance."

'Nine!'

"So take my advice and start looking at yourself up close for once."

'Eight!'

He had that expression on his face, one that said he was thinking too hard about something. It was like watching him try to pull the planets together with just a piece of string. His brows were furrowed so deep that your fingers wished to run over his feathers and smoothe the worried creases.

'Seven!'

You slowly reached out to him, giving him enough time to back away. Revali stilled as your hands traced up the nape of his neck, leaning in as his pulse thrummed underneath the soft pads of your fingertips.

'Six!'

He opened his beak the moment you reached his face. You paused, half expecting him to tell you to let go and pretend like it never happened.

Instead, he called out your name.

'Five!'

He said your name again, though quieter now. It was enough to tug at the invisible force drawing you two together. Enough so that the polite distance nervously enforced by the both of you gradually began to dissipate, trailing away like a ribbon of smoke as you both leaned in closer.

'Four!'

"May I--," He cleared his throat, eyes darting away for a second before they were back on you again. Bright green in the lantern light. Emeralds in the desert sand.

'Three!'

"May I kiss you?"

"Yes."

'Two!'

"Your way or mine?" You couldn't help but joke. Revali smiled, exhaling a soft joyful laugh before pressing his forehead to yours.

'One!'

'Happy New Year!'

An earth-shaking boom rattled your ears, but all you could think of in that moment was Revali and the feel of his feathers against your skin; the utter elation of being so close to someone you deeply cared for and that cared just as deeply for you.

In the dazzling light you lifted your head from his, both your eyes meeting for a brief moment. Hands moving, you gently angled his face with a steady hand, feeling then the soft, butterfly light brush of his wings on your waist.

Closing your eyes again, you leaned in to press your lips against his beak, the blush on your face warmer than any fever or furnace. The Rito's soft sigh was barely audible as you trailed your kisses upwards, stopping at the red circle on his cheek.

Revali laughed again as you turned his face to press a kiss to the identical red mark on the other side. "You're very thorough."

"You deserve it." You beamed. "And this is just the beginning, just you wait at the end of the countdown I'll--"

"Actually my dear," he grinned, pointing to the sky.

"Huh?"

Above you were the vibrant colours of the firework display. It was beautiful and awe-inspiring, but a confirmation that you were definitely minutes in to the new year.

"Oh," you said, before shaking your head with a smile. "It's fine, we got 12 more months to prepare ourselves for the next one."

Revali nodded, pulling you closer so he could press your foreheads together again.

"Indeed," he grinned. "Now will you finish your sentence? What exactly were you going to do at the end of the countdown?"

fin.
