harley didn’t see his big brother for months after he went off on his big quest on the argo ii. the next time he sees leo, it’s over within minutes.

#heroes of olympus #pjo hoo toa #harley pjo #leo valdez #sobbing uncontrollably #i can’t stop imagining harley being so excited and yelling and pointing from whichever safe area he was totally being kept #him just absolutely losing his mind with joy that leo is here to save the day once again #and immediately he watches his big brother burst into flames and disappear #im sorry

It’s the little things. That’s what I’ll treasure the most.

This one goes out to all my fellow ‘responsible’ captains. We tried our best boys. The EMOTION I felt when we got our funky little coffee cup and little pep talks from the crew,,,, hell yeah dude. Cheers to our new planet. 

Brushes: 

- For all painting/sketching/writing I used the Jingsketch sketch round (it’s free! <3 like iswm)

- The black backgrounds were a default watercolor brush!

april 4th 2023 edit: one year later and… oh god. revisiting this is both painful and weirdly validating as an artist—on one hand it is objectively so much worse than the new one. on the other, it’s weirdly motivating as evidence of my progress.)

#seriously though I kept picking the choices I thought were best #And things kept going awry #and guns kept getting pointed in our face #and yet #WE GOT THERE #We got a little cheers with coffee cups and the crew got to the planet safe and sound #we saved them #we survived #the older I get the more I realize that happy endings mean so much to me #there is so much to fight for in the universe and we found it #we found it damn it #we never gave up hope #In space with markiplier #in space with markiplier 2 #iswm spoilers #uhhh what else should I tag #also I would live and die for engineer mark thank you next #not fully happy with how I drew him but I’ll get there

can't wait to soar (charlos, model!actor au)

chapter 1 - something we can build

chapter 2 - hey i'm just like you (a little messed up and blue)

chapter 3 - we could be so good

chapter 4 - a wandering heart

chapter 5 - chapter 44

Lewis didn't deserve a coward, but Carlos couldn't pretend to be something he was not.

A flashback to the past, where we see the beginning and the end of Lewis and Carlos' relationship. Note: the rating went up a notch so mind the new rating and tags!

I've listened to TTPD three times now, twice alone and once at a listening breakfast with friends! Thoughts:

I liked quite a lot of it, but I'm not immediately blown away.

Current favorite is "The Bolter," followed by "But Daddy I Love Him," "The Prophecy," and "Florida!!!" in no particular order.

I loved the breadth of feelings that the album addresses. You really get a sense of a whole emotional landscape.

It's in strong and compelling conversation with Taylor's whole body of work without being too excessively self-referential. "thanK you aIMee" is the notable exception.

A lot of the songs are overwritten: she uses $20 words in place of $2 words, repeats herself, and dulls the power of what works by surrounding it with a lot that doesn't. If we go by Coleridge's definition that poetry is the best words in their best order, then yeah. She definitely needs an editor.

However, none of the lyrics that people seem to be highlighting as "cringey" bother me at all. I've always loved Taylor's proclivity for small details, even strange or out-of-place ones.

I would really love to gently help Taylor out with her literary allusions. They're a long-standing struggle for her, and even going in I was a little worried for that aspect of the album based on the marketing. Could've been worse, but most of them could still stand to be a whole lot sharper.

The songs tend towards very consistent production and tempo. Whether you want to call that cohesiveness or homogeneity is a matter of opinion.

My great, secret wish for this album was that it would feature a bunch of orchestra/strings, which would've meshed great with the dark academia vibe. Clearly, I didn't get it. Oh well

#i had a weird experience listening to this album last night #in that somewhere between 'down bad' and 'fresh out the slammer' i was kind of convinced that i hated it? #i mean. i didn't but I was fully expecting to really love it. all of her albums save rep and lover have been love at first sight for me #and with rep and lover i could pinpoint very specific things i didn't care for and sort of circumvent them if that makes sense #whereas listening to ttpd i just kind of felt like i was losing my mind #it definitely won me back as i kept listening #plus i was able to articulate the particular criticisms i had #so I've definitely landed safely in 'i like it territory' #but I've yet to see anyone on my tumblr dash expressing anything like my experience #so i figured I'd share #tay tay #pontifications and creations

how do i do it though. how do i let go of the bitterness and the hardness when they kept me "okay" for so long? does it come when i finally leave? can it ever?

#babes i actually relate to the frigid angry woman more than im comfortable with but this time there's no prince coming to save her and idk #i was never beautiful but i was and am angry and capable and that's served me well but being angry is exhausting #it's a birthright i can't give to a younger sibling. it doesn't transfer. #i dont inspire devotion. there's no version of this that ends with me waltzing with a true love. #im not the type you launch a thousand ships for. #so what's left? #who am i when i have no one? when ive spent my life making *me* less to make others more? when im nothing but a useful piece of furniture. #i know God loves me! i love Him! but it's not the same. i want *people* to love me. i want to be someone that theyd fight for. #im feeling that 'women have minds and hearts but im so lonely' scene from little women 2019 so much right now. #except im not jo. my family loves me but theyd never do for me what jo's would do for her. theyre also all focused on surviving. #i feel like a military ration. there to be consumed but cast aside the moment something more palatable comes around. #how do i become consumed with joy? how do i let go of the cynicism? its all thats kept me safe! but its choking me too. #its like tony stark in iron man 2. the thing thats kept me alive this far is killing me. i need to find an alternative but its looking like #ill have to synthesize a new element to make it happen and that freaks me out. #ive always been derivative. never an individual. how do i become a trailblazer when my job was always to hold the hand of the one blazing #the trail? how do i become myself happy and free? #because i WANT to be more #i WANT to be more than anger and coldness and a useful idiot. i WANT to be me and be so so happy #but i dont know how to get there #and if someone suggests therapy im shooting you. i dont want to listen to one more person pretend to care about me and tell me #all the things i need to change and spend even longer not learning how to think for myself #i want to be more than this. but i also cant stand the thought of taking up any more space than i do #anyway. #anyone who's read all this thank you and i promise im fine im just in my feelings today lol #im going to work out and get some happy brain chemicals flowing and then ill take a shower and itll all be good. #please dont worry about me! im just having A Moment TM #lilac rambles

Kevin is a fun character for me because the character the game repeatedly tells us he is and the character the game repeatedly shows us he is are just… blatantly two different characters, but regardless of which one you choose to believe is canon, he’s still one of the most sympathetic mf in the game and I will be very upset if he’s actually killed off

#honkai impact #kevin kaslana #where are my fellow Kevin enthusiasts at? #‘the only person he cares about is Dr. MEI-‘ hoyo you literally introduced him by showing us him repeatedly reliving one Sakura’s death #and the guilt that consumed him because of it and the various other sacrifices he had to make #those are not the actions of a dude who doesn’t care!!! #he built Hua a god damn sanctuary to keep her safe! #he chose saving Su’s life over completing project stigma (you know… Dr. MEI’s frickin legacy) #the Kaslana stigma version of him shows that he fucking loves his family and values their accomplishments #he cried over Elysia’s death #the ER version of him fucking risked it all to save her sim #hell he even recruited Mei just to honor Ely’s legacy and show her she won #in ‘the demon’ rememberance vessel they explicitly say he was desperately trying to keep Su out of the fight all together #and also did his best to keep Mobius away from Su #and in EE he only talked to Aponia just so Su didn’t have to #Mihoyo these are not the actions of someone who doesn’t care #also he kept Fu Hua’s feather safe and gave it back to Senti so she could get her body back #Kevin deeply loves all his friends and family and nothing Mihoyo says can convince me otherwise #he did everything for them not just for Dr. MEI #I can’t even judge his actions #like he’s literally just some guy- how is he supposed to know how to save the world #these aren’t even his plans. he’s just trying his best #I’d also go a little insane if I was powerless to stop most of my loved ones from dying and the world from being destroyed in front of me #I can’t blame him for not immediately trusting the power of friendship #man makes sense to me

the next step in collei warriorism is the understanding that she was brought back to life not once but twice

Cannot stop thinking about all the reasons why Kingsley would absolutely drop everything and go running to save Beau and his Magic Man if he knew what happened to him—

#I NEED WORD TO REACH DARKTOW #NEED KING TO GO WITH YASHa on A RESCUE MISSION #he died for beau as molly #and believed that it was worth it as long as beau lived #molly watching Lucien attack beau and Caleb and feeling visceral pain from it— #molly who had to watch Lucien kill Caleb and still thought of the forehead kiss he gave him— #molly sacrificing himself because as long as the nein lived it was Worth it—Kingsley experiencing that very #same feeling in fleeting dreams and memories #King who picked flowers for beau and yasha #who was saved in a resurrection ritual that beau and caleb took part in #who turned to his Magician and called to him first after yasha— #ya #yeah— #simply cannot imagine he wouldn’t do anything to save them both again #anything would be worth it as long as he kept them safe this time— #Kingsley tealeaf my beloved

A little known fact is Kaeya usually tends to cry out of frustration. Little known, because he tends to be so good at masking it and holding back when it comes to a head, with only Adelinde having been the one he felt comfortable enough to cry around, back in his youth.

Nowadays, he will adamantly refuse to cry in front of anyone, even those he’s closest to. But if one who knows him well enough might happen to witness his lashes seemingly fluttering as he rolls his eyes after a verbal bout with Diluc, they’ll know.

They’ll know.

#hc; kaeya #//He felt comfortable w/ Addie bc he wanted to be strong for Crepus & Luc. She was safe to confide. Nowdays; he feels ashamed to w/ her #//Back as a kid; he only (genuinely out of heavy emotion) cried in front of Crepus and Diluc ONCE; each #//Him crying crocodile tears to get something out of them is a WHOLE different story. But yeah #//Crepus; after he got scolded for going to Sumeru—bc he realized then how much the man cared. Crepus realized what it meant to him; too #//With Diluc; he never once legitimately cried in front of him up until The Confrontation #//Would make faces and almost tear up; at times yeah #//But he TRULY cried only that time; and it wasn’t even BECAUSE of Diluc himself #//It was because of Kaeya's Vision #//Kaeya had already only been in a bit of a spiral over Diluc lashing out & conflict of his loyalties; of Crepus' death & guilt of mourning #//But it’d been made worse by the Vision bc how was it KAEYA got to have a Vision & thus be saved from certain death by the gods #//But CREPUS; the good; kind man who’d taken him in and been nothing but loving to him; & courageous to the end was left to DIE? #//WHY would the gods spare a SINNER and not HIM? #//It had been too much to bear and utterly broke him in that moment; his sobs more akin to screams drowned out by the downpour #//Of others he’d cried in front of; Lisa and Rosaria are the only others. And even then; it's been AWHILE since either event #//Even with the extremely vulnerable moment he had with Jean after Diluc left; he kept it together for her #//Lisa and Rosaria both caught him while drunk and his fears and frustrations (respectively) bubbled right to the surface #//Significant others/close friends will NEVER see him actually cry unless it's MASSIVELY serious. Like; genuinely life-or-death serious #//Anywho BACK to the post's actual subject #//With Diluc; ever since he's come back; Kae gets so easily frustrated with how they can't get along; even if he gets Why it's so #//But it's much rarer for him to actually get upset enough to tear up in the moment; so unless you're LOOKING for it; it goes unnoticed #//Those times tend to coincide with when he up and decides to head out early for whatever reason #//Bc he Knows he's about to break; and thus tries to get away #//It's not really that he doesn't think Luc would care; it's that he Knows the man would be utterly Awful handling it #//And thus Kae would much rather take the L and lick his own wounds alone than let Luc's rep take a hit #//He does cry a LOT more than most people think; but Diluc actually has nothing to do with it then—it's actually over his paperwork #//It frustrates him the most of everything; esp since he'd always struggled with writing and reading; no matter the help he recieved #//In the privacy of his office compared to his lessons as a lad; he's actually able to get his frustrations out #//Which does help LOADS bc he's forced to take a break to cry it out; then continue a lot calmer after he's gotten it out of his system #//It's one of; his not his Only; healthiest coping mechanisms

do you ever just cry about how much the venerate loved each other

#licanius #licanius trilogy #like oh my god #we know the most about caeden/tal obviously but he's such a painfully tragic example of that love #he betrayed them #he tortured meldier and isiliar and drove her mad #they think he's keeping cyr captive too #he created plains of decay and they all were/are still horrified at it #AND YET?? #isiliar could've easily killed him #but even mad and hurting she chose not to #meldier was (justifiably) SO ANGRY at him but it didn't seem like he ever hated him #he made him keep to the safe part of plains at night #alaris saved him from isiliar and promised to meet him again as friends in secret #and kept his word even after everything that happened there #they all want to forgive him so badly #they all want to be on the same side again #and can't and it hurts them all #they love each other so much it's ruining them (and me) #even opposing each other in every way that matters they never hated each other (this too ruins me)

oh boi. Your Sesshomaru is exceedingly in character and fleshed out. I swear I’m always writing with the one direct from RT herself. You have a wonderful grasp of his chAracter. You understand him well. He does develop and change with time which is nice to see and make it more realistic. Yes he’s a grump melon but the level of intelligence and reflection your Sesshy demonstrates is quite on point. I enjoy seeing his thought processes both series and crack. Even in crack, I can see the level of sass that is seen more so in the manga than anime. Sesshomaru is a complicated character and you are one of the best takes I’ve ever seen. Thank youuu for breathing such life into him and all the ic headcanons.

Ahhhh yes the serotonin I so crave on this dreary sunday. Thank you, this does my insecure heart good.

I always worry that I write him flat and possibly boring/dull.

[rescuefield-a]

also thinking about the parallel of sherry & claire in rc and claire & chris when their parents died - how they were both little girls with basically nothing but this somewhat adult person (...) they could count on 😭

#when sherry asks claire why she's trying so hard to save her and she's just BECAUSE I CARE like she understands #she was also a 12yo girl suddenly without parents and it's a time where you're not a child anymore but not even a teen yet you know? #shit is hard especially when there isn't someone you can count on. claire was so so lucky about that #claire left her childhood home as an orphan and chris was literally her whole world from then 😭 #to quote hannah montana kept me safe & sound at night little girls depend on things like that 😭
