When everything you see reminds you of them…
Yeah: I have a secondary fixation on The Locked Tomb

In 1931, aviator Bobbi Trout extended an invitation to actor Edna Mae Cooper to join her for an endurance flight. Their aim was to surpass the men's 150-hour record. However, they fell short of the goal, flying for 122 hours and 50 minutes before fuel-related challenges forced them to land. Despite not reaching the 150-hour mark, they set a new women's endurance record. #womenshistory2024

So let's make this dance a bloody masquerade
You're against the night itself, so be afraid
finally finished, next up we have a poll to decide between our first tie
I hate how compressed the JPEGs look, especially in the previews. Makes me paranoid that'll look a lot worse than it usually does. I'm very happy with this one, so I hope it looks alright

Foil as the postapocalyptic gunslinger she deserved to be...
So I listened to Godhunter, heard the line "for who could be such a threat to me, the conqueror of time", thought Hey! Who do I know that could kill a god and has a nemesis associated with time? and uhhh. A sketch page followed.
File this with the "What if Ward was Parahumans Mad Max?" post genre.

I made this mug because I’m obsessed with The Locked Tomb. Should I make more?
UPDATE: I’ve been working hard to make more of these as quickly as I can and they’ve been selling out, so if you’d like to buy one, you can check on my Etsy (link below)

Aviators were lionized in the 1920s and 1930s, even when they screwed up. That can be the only explanation for why the city threw a ticker tape parade for Douglas "Wrong Way" Corrigan, who took off from Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn on July 17, 1938, with the stated intention of flying to California. He wound up in Dublin instead.
When Corrigan returned to New York (by ship), he was met with wild acclaim. On August 5, he was the hero of a ticker tape parade. In fact, attendance at the parade exceeded that of the parade given to Charles Lindbergh eleven years earlier.
Eventually, it became known that the flight to Ireland was no mistake at all, but the story was too good to let die.

Friends to Lovers Tournament: Round 1, Side A, Match 8
propaganda under the cut!
Aviskull:
MY URL IS THE AVISKULL GUY FOR GOOD REASON!! They are canonically childhood friends who left a team together to form their own. Skull got a lil possessive over Avi when two other silly goofy teams started fighting over him. Also there's 41 works of this ship on ao3 and I've written 21 of them with more on the way. I want them to at least get kinda far for my own self-validation because this is a rarepair in an already small enough fandom compared to others.
Sourin:
okay so i have a picture to crack explain the sourin supremacy
but i also have legitimate reasons lmao
1. sousuke and rin both GET what it's like to want something so bad but not be able to achieve it. they know each other's pain so well, and they know just how much effort the other person puts into swimming. AND THAT MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING STRENGTHENS THEIR BOND SO MUCH!!! this is also the reason why they are each others' comfort person because the other just GETS it, no need for any explanations
2. they're passionate as fuck about the same thing (swimming) and they help each other train harder and swim better,,, like get you a couple with the same obsessions as you!!!
3. THEY SWAM A RELAY TOGETHER and that means a lot in swimming because IT'S BASICALLY SMTH A TEAM DOES WHEN THEY HAVE ABSOLUTE TRUST IN EACH OTHER AND THEY DEPEND ON EACH OTHER AND THEY LOVE EACH OTHER AND IT'S BASICALLY THE SWIMMING ANIME EQUIVALENT OF I LOVE YOU
4. when sousuke told rin about the shoulder injury he was literally so devastated because his love couldn't follow his passions anymore,, AND WHEN SOUSUKE RECOVERED FROM THE SURGERY RIN LEGIT CRIED HAPPY TEARS!!! and sousuke was always there for rin w/e he had a slump bc he compared himself too much to haru and others,,, like gods they care so much for each other
5. sousuke is the earth and rin is the fire,,, AND RIN LIGHTS A FIRE IN SOUSUKE WHILE SOUSUKE GROUNDS RIN LIKE PLEASE THE MOTIFS ARE LITERALLY RIGHT THERE EVEN IN THEIR COLOUR SCHEMES (teal + maroon)
in short: sourin supremacy because these two bois are so perfect for each other
