That’s What I’m Here For

Summary: Request from Anon for Anger Born Of Worry! Marc is overworking himself, and Jake has reached his limit. (He also reaches his limit on Ao3 and Wattpad)

“Marc what the fuck are you doing?”

It was nearly three a.m. now, not that Marc had particularly been paying attention. Jake’s voice startled him so badly he missed his mug and spilled hot coffee all over the countertop. 

“Shit,” Marc muttered. He glared at Jake’s reflection in the coffee pot, a glare which was returned tenfold by Jake’s hard eyes. “Happy? Now I have to make another pot.”

“Not what I asked.”

“Oh, grouchy today, huh?” Marc grabbed a handful of paper towels and started mopping up the mess. “Are you annoyed it was too hot to wear your turtleneck?”

“Answer the goddamn question, Spector,” Jake growled, throwing the paper towels away with more force than was strictly necessary. Marc sighed and ran a hand through his hair as he walked over to their desk. 

“Just Moon Knight stuff, okay? Khonshu said there’s a ‘traveler of the night in danger’ and we need to find him before the next full moon, which only gives us two days, so I’m just trying to find him.”

Jake raised an eyebrow at the maps and books scattered haphazardly over their desk. “At three a.m.?” 

“Well, I started at five--”

“Dios mío, Marc, did you even eat dinner? Have you taken a goddamn break at all?” Jake snapped, throwing up his hands. Marc didn’t need to answer for Jake to know that he hadn’t though. He felt their stomach squirm hungrily at the mention of dinner, and given how heavy their limbs felt, Jake wasn’t surprised Marc had wanted a cup of coffee earlier. 

“Jake, this is really important, Khonshu said if we don’t find this guy then people will kill him,” Marc reasoned. “Khonshu said he protects hundreds of lives, without him they’ll get hurt--”

“Marc, there's always going to be someone in danger, always going to be someone that could get hurt, what about you?!” Jake started to pace around the room, raking a fist through his hair with a groan. “¿¡Y nosotros qué!? Are you going to pull this shit every time Khonshu has something we need to do!? You can’t do this to yourself!”

“People need our help Jake, I’m not going to abandon them!”

“I’m not tellin’ you to do that, I just want you to take care of yourself for once!” Jake roared. He marched into the kitchen and grabbed a microwave pasta dinner from the freezer, not particularly caring if it was one Marc liked. 

“What’re you doing?” Marc said as he tossed it in the microwave. 

“I’m feeding us and then we’re going to bed,” Jake snarled. “We’ll find this guy tomorrow.”

“We might not have enough time tomorrow!”

“We definitely won’t have enough energy if we don’t eat and sleep!”

“God, Jake, why the hell can’t you just back off!? I’ve been doing this for years, what’s the big deal now!?”

“I’m fucking worried about you, idiota!” 

Jake slumped into a chair at the dining table, resting his elbows on his knees and rubbing his face with his hands. His head pounded against his eyes like a marching drum, and his stomach rumbled angrily at him. His whole body felt like a ton of bricks, pulling him so far down into a black sea that he couldn’t tell what was up or down anymore. The sound of the microwave felt like pressure in his ears, the inside of his skin itched with exhaustion, and on top of it all he had to convince the person causing all of this that they didn’t need to go through any of it. 

Why couldn’t Marc understand that this only ever hurts him?

“You’re worried about me?” Marc said softly. Jake nodded slowly, closing his eyes. “Why?”

“I fucked up the first time,” Jake muttered. The timer for their dinner went off and he got up to retrieve it. “I let you stay up every night, running around saving people when we were supposed to be resting. I let Steven stress and panic thinking he had a sleeping disorder, let you both feel so completely alone day after day. I let you two do things that I knew hurt you. That’s why it’s a big deal now. I’m worried because you’re hurting yourself. That’s why I’m not letting you do things like this anymore. Not sleeping, not eating, not talking--all the shit is done now. I fucked up the first time, I didn’t protect you two like I should have. I won’t let it happen again.”

He stirred their food for a moment before starting to eat. He relished the warmth spreading through his middle, the comforting weight of food in his stomach that grew with every bite he took. It melted away some of the tension in their shoulders, bringing the anxiety in his heart to a screeching halt. That’s one problem solved, he thought, breathing out a small sigh of relief. 

“This is good,” Marc said quietly. Jake smirked. 

“You haven’t eaten since lunch, I think a cockroach would taste good to you right about now,” he said. 

“I don’t… mean to hurt us,” Marc said. “I just… I forget that we’re okay now. I forget we don’t have to feel like this anymore. I forget that this hurts.”

“I know.” Jake stirred around their food a bit more, trying not to eat too quickly. “But that’s why you gotta listen to me. You can’t fight me every time I try to take care of us. It’s hard enough to be starving and exhausted, I can’t have an argument with you on top of that every time.”

Marc sighed. “Yeah. Sorry ‘bout that.”

“Está bien. We just need to work on it, that’s all.”

When Jake and Marc finished their dinner, Jake felt somehow even more tired than before, the weight in his stomach adding to his already heavy limbs. 

“Jeez, I didn’t realize how tired I was,” Marc said with a broken down laugh. He yawned and stood up, trudging slowly towards their bed. 

“That’s what I’m here for,” Jake said. “I can notice for ya.” He pulled off their clothes, turned out the lights, and climbed into bed. He was just about to fall asleep when Marc spoke again. 

“Jake?” he muttered. 

“Mm?”

“I’ll try to take better care of us. No promises on how well I’ll do, but you don’t have to worry I’ll fight you on it anymore.”

Jake smiled, and rolled their body a little tighter in the blankets. 

“Gracias.”

can you even call it a warm up if I'm going to bed without drawing anything big

and a sketch I made while sitting in the park today

#sketch #my art #bnha #shigaraki tomura #tenko shimura #all for one #midoriya izuku #bnha manga spoilers #only after I finished basically polishing this sketch did I notice how it's basically dark and light mode #also the first one is basically a redraw of illustration from vol 11 #I know that translation of Tenko's words is different in official but eh #fanart #I've kind of recovered from recent chapters #and I was analysing those chapters all morning #I'm still thinking but otherwise the chapters are so good #also did you notice that AFO actually talked about how his other him didn't use that 'last thing' yet and that was in ch 410 #and in ch 419 he did so it's real and it's still sad #but still AFO was never hiding it enough #from Tomura maybe but we as readers actually saw his plans play out #in any case I'm still just sitting with those two Izuku and Tenko interaction chapters #I waited long enough #and if you don't count AFO's return Izuku DID save Tenko and it's so interesting #since he now has to save his OTHER origin that was in ch 237 taught to kill whatever he wants #Tenko and Tomura both had 'origins' chapters and for now we only worked with 235 and 236 #and even if Izuku helped with the start of 237 there's still AFO #in any case it was a hard week #also the second thing actually had them holding hands #and then I was like 'but at that point Izuku's hands are gone oh no' #and it was just Tenko holding air where the hand was destroyed #in any case that scene.

Something I’ve been thinking about lately is that small moment in “Air Turtle” where immediately after the Daves lose yet another game, Leo says how sorry he is and how he’s doing his best as the mascot. This moment is so short but it’s honestly jam-packed with a whole heap of characterization.

His need to apologize for things clearly not his fault - especially when it feels like he messes up the job he was given despite doing the best he can (the phrase “it’s not about you” takes a new meaning when this is one of the lessons to be learned from that - that he is not always solely responsible for things going wrong), his need to save face and make a connection with an older adult man in his life (something he consistently does throughout the series - he’s got a few daddy issues, always collecting potential father figures, it’s no wonder he jumps at the bit to keep rapport), and the way he sounds and looks and the words he chooses really pushes how he is just a kid (“Mr. the Dunk, I’m so sorry”).

Like I know it’s a one off moment that doesn’t truly mean much, but when put against the rest of the series it works really well with the rest of Leo’s established character and helps in solidifying later concepts as well.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #rottmnt headcanons #am I looking too much into things? almost assuredly yes #I actually appreciate how tim immediately goes ‘it’s not your fault’ as well? like he could’ve just blamed this 15/16 year old but he didn’t #but yeah this moment got to me a little mainly because it made me realize that Leo…DOES take responsibility for things a lot #he messes up a ton yeah but he says sorry at a pretty consistent rate #and y’know thinking about it #THIS IS TINFOIL HAT TERRITORY BE WARNED #he’s mentioned being betrayed by his brothers before - I wonder if it was something as simple as taking the fall for like #breaking something of Splinters or whatever #point is it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for him to get the full blame for something only partially his fault #or not his fault at all in some cases #like in bug busters where Raph gets mad at Leo for not getting captured with them #(I understand Raph’s mindset here a ton - Raph’s the leader and he’s likely lashing out so I don’t blame the poor kid) #but this plus the moment at the beginning of the movie #where only Leo is reprimanded despite Mikey and Donnie having full autonomy to join the fun pizza stacking #make no mistake this is not at all a diss on everyone else!!! it’s just something I noticed #I think that “it’s not about you” doesn’t just pertain to being arrogant and wanting the spotlight #I think it’s also about how responsibility is meant to be shared #and like #Leo DOES mess up a lot! so he’s honestly probably used to having the blame because it is often at least somewhat warranted #he’s specifically described as being good at apologizing after all #tldr: Leo messes up a lot of the time so he is very used to blame and attention both good and bad #even when the full blame should not be solely on his shoulders

Most annoying NMJ or JC take is when someone that dislikes them is like "oh you're a fan of him? *scoff* Well obviously you've only seen cql, where he was super watered down. In the novel he's a dislikable asshole and that's the objectively superior canon I'm working from instead of your woobified fanfic." Meanwhile your main canon is novel canon and you genuinely find novel Jiang Cheng and Nie Mingjue complex sympathetic characters.

#complaining and whining about fandom #mdzs #cql #the untamed #nie mingjue #jiang cheng #WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO THEM #it's quite funny because in nmj's case i actually see shit from cql being carried over to novel canon to hate on him #for example my's treatment under the nie was explicitly much worse in cql because they transplanted the langya captain to qinghe #while the worst we see post-promotion in the novel is cultivators (WHO AREN'T EVEN NIE!) wiping ther teacups #(they're visiting from other clans like xichen. That's also why none of them had seen meng yao before.) #you can absolutely choose to interpret that worse things were happening to him at the hands of the nie off-page #it's definitely possible! but cql has people acting like it's objective canon #also the thing about empathy being inaccurate and biased in nmj's favor #that's another cql thing. in novel canon wwx can and does see things nmj does not notice (like the teacups!) #so even if he has some insight into nmj's thoughts and feelings it quite literally can't be showing things exclusively from his perspective #it was a pretty cool ceative decision from cql! gave us some very interesting character moments! #but sometimes i see people discuss the novel going 'and this was warped by nmj's bias i bet he was even worse in reality' girl wrong medium #in jiang cheng's case a lot of hate seems to be coming from the corner of cql!mains too #so clearly it can't be *that* big a difference in likability

content. fluff, mentions of nudity, usage of celsius (the only correct way of measuring temperature iktr).

it’s an unwritten rule in your relationship with satoru that you two must sleep skin-to-skin. it doesn’t matter if the room is -4 degrees or if it’s nearing 32. you’re bare—partly or fully—and you lay touching the other. on some days, you lay chest to chest, on others you’re spooning each other (satoru is mostly the little spoon, but on rare days he switches it up), and on others it’s merely your pinkies intertwining as you two sleep peacefully during the night.

some part of you, no matter if it’s big or small, has to be touching him. actually touching him. without the barrier of infinity, that keeps him from touching the world in its entirety. and without the barrier of clothing, that keeps him from touching you—from truly touching you. the two of you need to feel each other, to feel the other on your skin and know that they’re here and that they’re real.

to be so vulnerable together, and to have absolutely nothing separating the two of you. it’s just you, and it’s just him. and suddenly the world doesn’t seem all that bad.

. . .yeah, sleeping skin-to-skin is an absolute must.

#there’s something beautiful in non-sexual intimacy; especially non-sexual nudity #it’s a form of seeing everything from your partner; their flaws and all and still loving them gently and purely #it’s one of the deepest showings of vulnerability #and to have someone not only witness it but adore it is just #anyway guys i love one (1) gojo satoru in case you hadn’t noticed #he means the world to me #ꕤ — sanatomis darling: gojo satoru #gojo satoru x reader #satoru gojo x reader #gojo x reader fluff #jujutsu kaisen x reader #sigh also (apologies) sneaking in this again. . . #⍣ ❥ ೋ 𝑠𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑖-𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒.

Atlas: Taryn? Hey!

Atlas: What happened-

Taryn: Please don’t. 

Atlas: Can you talk to me?

Taryn: [ strained ] What is there to say that you don’t already know? I keep asking myself why you’re so nice to me all of a sudden. Why would someone like you be around someone like me and it’s such a… Mind-fuck. 

Atlas: I swear to you, it isn’t like that-

Taryn: Am I just a one night stand?

Atlas: [ stammers ] N-No! 

Taryn: Convincing.

Atlas: I’m sorry it wasn’t a good enough response, I’m just caught off guard. Why would you assume that?

Taryn: Because my questions made sense the minute you walked out of that building and there was lipstick smeared all over your face. Then you gave me this look, something about it made me realize I wasn’t the first and I don’t think I’d be the last. 

Atlas: [ flatly ] We didn’t even catch each other's name, that’s how little it meant. 

Taryn: [ barely a whisper ] Oh now that’s incredibly fucked up… Was that supposed to make me feel better?

Atlas: Bee-

Taryn: [ voice breaks ] Was it worth it? [ pauses ] Don’t… Answer that. I’m… Gonna go now.

don’t get me wrong I think the general interpretation of Leo being like “I put up a cocky front but deep down I don’t actually think I’m that great and that’s why I have something to prove” is good. It’s cool, plenty of drama/angst potential and probably what the creators were going for, I’m here for it.

But there is a distinct appeal to me of the slightly-to-the-left interpretation of Leo being like “it’s not a front, I know I’m that good/smart/skilled, but I also know I’m seen by others as just the goofball face man and that’s why I have something to prove.”

#Rottmnt #Wild metaphor incoming but it’s like the difference between a hersheys bar and fancy Ghirardelli or something #At the end of the day they’re both chocolate. But ones got a bit more depth. #where was I going with this again idk I got caught up in food metaphor #It’s like. With the first one it boils down to character A (in this case Leo) going “I’m useless because I’m not good at [thing]” #Resulting in those around him either going “of course you’re good at thing! Remember the time you were good at thing?” #Or sometimes “it doesn’t matter that you’re not good at [thing] we love you regardless of what you can provide” #And again THATS GOOD THATS SOME GOOD SHIT #I LOVE THAT #but with the latter it’s more like “I know I’m good at thing *but I don’t know how to prove it to you*” #And that gives you the best of both worlds where you CAN get character A feeling bad but not for their lack of thing #But because if no can see it surely they *must* be doing something wrong right? #And ALSO you get the characters around them getting all sorts of feelings of “we didn’t do enough to show we believe in them” #Or “we didn’t notice how hard they tried” #Cuz you can get that a little in the first one but it can come off as kinda meh cuz they didn’t actually do anything wrong #It also has more opportunities for emotions besides straight sadness #You can have anger and conflict of “why am I not good enough for you?!” #That straight sef deprecation doesn’t always allow for #You can also have jealously and envy that feels less toxic and more justified #Not that it strictly needs to be justified mind you #Sometimes some toxic feelings stemming from perceived inadequacy are fuckin *chefs kiss* #But again it’s abt the VARIETY yknow #This isn’t even about Rottmnt anymore I’m just rambling #It’s my post and I get to choose the bullshit tags

wwwhat animal would Hatsune Miku be in the c&c universe

bonus points if you change their name to suit the specific animal

#you awaken within me beasts which cannot be quelled anon. dangerous territory #初獣音ミク translation notes: reading in this case would be shojūne miku. you may notice that its the same name in writing #with another character shoved in the middle. that character (also read as “kemono”) means beast or animal. the character “hatsu” #can also be read “sho” and “kemono” can be read “jū”. so now instead of “first sound” which is what hatsune means #first animal sound. which doesnt really sound punny in english but i thought pretty hard about it okay whatever #c&c asks

Gif Coloring: some examples (yes, more)

(click the gifs to enlarge)

note: the "before" gifs are after trimming the clip in a video editor, manually deleting duplicate frames created upon import (thanks photoshop!), frame rate adjustment, cropping, and resizing.

now, these are just some of my examples – each gif maker has their own style and methods, and i am by no means an expert (some people out there can truly do magic). my reasons for posting these are 1) it's fun to look at the difference before/after coloring :) and 2) to hopefully show that a lot of work and time goes into creating pretty gif sets, and it sucks big time and is incredibly demotivating when those gifs are reposted without credit. it's not just plopping a clip into an online gif converter (those often look even worse than these "before" gifs) ✌️

SO: credit gif makers if you repost gifs!! (on tumblr, reblog from the source or use the Add GIF function whenever possible) ❤️

#ofmd gifs #ofmd #our flag means death #a series of unfortunate events #ida.stuff #unless explicitly stated by the creator that credit isn't needed just assume it is. it will always be appreciated in any case #also i should post the one with rhys on the log lmao i just need to make a few more for the set #this has become my hill to die on apparently #i love love LOVE all those of you who are already doing this and noticing the coloring and stuff in the tags I LOVE YOU <333
