#because everything reminds him of love

[thepiedsniper]

Have been wondering what Ed was getting while Stede was being walked into the jungle by Chauncey, because he had already gotten the dinghy and later arrived at the dock carrying a sack. Obviously supplies makes sense, but I just realised it was also their clothes/personal effects that Ed went back for, and it made me sad. 

He went back for his cravat, and his red handkerchief, and his leather jacket, and his knee brace, and all of Stede’s clothes that he knew would be missed terribly if they left them behind.

#our flag means death #ofmd #it makes me inexplicably sad #like that's somewhat a matter of reputation and pride as a pirate #but it's also so sentimental #like #the treatment of possessions in ofmd actually makes me insane #it's ok to be a clothes horse #it's ok to hang onto that silky scrap that makes you feel Home #that's why Ed has to throw everything away #because everything reminds him of love #and Home #he had all the Things and none of the actual People

#what if i just never emotionally recovered from this . wouldnt that be something #star wars #sw rots #revenge of the sith #rots novelization #anakin skywalker #darth vader #you know what. it's the fact that after everything that has happened anakin still chooses to stay with sidious #even after he knows all he's ever done is lie to him. is use him. is be yet another person on a list of people #who've only ever wanted him for his power #anakin HATES sidious by this point. he despises him. he wants him dead. and yet he stays #because he has no reason not to #he's destroyed everything and everyone who he's ever loved and has loved him in return #and as twisted as it is.. sidious is all he has left now. sidious and all of his anger and all of his terrible grief #so he stays . because he has no reason to leave #and it's not until rotj that anakin finds himself faced with a choice which isn't really a choice at all #because from the moment he realised luke would never join him in overthrowing sidious and ruling the empire #there was only ever one decision anakin could make #because in that moment he looked upon the last reminder of the love that existed once between him and padme and he found his reason #to finally break the cycle of violence #he couldn't kill luke because he loved him ! even among all the anger and pain and regret. anakin loved his son #and just as anakin's love drove him to the dark so too did it help guide him to the light #whatever. this novel destroyed me. gonna have 'this is how it feels to be anakin skywalker forever' on my mind for 3-5 business days

i know the hunger games isnt about romance i know it isnt a love story but. theres just something so beautiful in the way peeta is the personification of what it means to heal and he /is/ the dandelion and the bread and the hope that things can be better even if they wont be fixed. even if the nightmares dont stop he will still hold her. wake her up and tell her shes alive. shes safe. and when its over and done and theres no more saving or protecting or trying their absolute hardest to die if it means keeping the other alive, the horrors dont stop. but katniss will still find that comfort in peetas arms.

#and peeta Goes Through It too but hes there!!!!!!!! hes always there and hes kind and artistic and peaceful and good and everything that #the games could never destroy (the hijacking couldve but he found his way back. he still wonders whats real sometimes but he knows. he know #who he is. a painter a baker and a boy who loves. she reminds him of that love too) #anyways :( katniss longs for peetas arms and nobodys been this gentle with her since her father died and she stopped letting her mother #hold her. and peeta does #something about the way he holds her so so gently with so much love and care despite all the destruction and how peeta counteracts the fire #in katniss. the one that tells her she needs to protect and defend and prioritize keeping her family alive and keep her guard up. but hes #there to comfort her and hold her and protect her and those r all the things katniss doesnt get the privilege of thinking about because she #always thinking about who she needs to protect #its so personal to me. god i am Not okay rn #i have a rehearsal before school tmr and i am sooooo sleepy but. insane thoughts can never wait #everlark #katniss everdeen #peeta mellark #peeniss #< the real ship name #the hunger games #thg #late night thoughts & all that jazz #🫀

#potion permit #chemist adam #matheo #reminder that adam is mute and i hc only matheo would know sign language due to his work #like ...... idk man just he gives the perfect vibes for it to #matheo absolutely hating the chemist but the only one that knows what the chemist is saying is so funny to me #like i hate everything you stand for yet i will watch you to know what you are saying to me because its common courtesy but i still hate yo #i played recently and did the 3rd friendship event for matheo finally but now need an item to confess #but omg matheo my beloved ................... i got so sad when he wanted to leave cause he thought he wasnt needed #good on my chemist being sad and angry for me and convincing him to stay #also i just like that the chemist will have so many expressions but no text options for scenes at least so far #like theres a talking emote thing for the chemist but you .... dont actually use it as you say stuff #and i love that for the little chemist im convinced the chemist is mute #truly a silent protag

xiao's camera roll would be probably a bunch of photos of lumine taken in very random situations when she wasn't looking and he keeps them just so he can remember her happiness and the tenderness of the quiet moments they've spent together in love and cherish it for eternity.

i bet he has a picture of a leaf that's fallen on top of her head during one of their autumn walks - he probably keeps that leaf as well and now its golden hue reminds him of her. there's another picture of lumine searching for some sea shells on the beach; she's crouching, her head down and hands digging in the sand. he kind of regrets not taking video of that moment - the way lumine was pouting about how mean the sea is to her today was oddly adorable. and then, when she turned around to look up at him with that fond gleam in her eyes and a soft smile tugging at the corner of her lips and–

oh.

frozen in the place, he's unable to move. even if he doesn't have any recordings of that moment, though, it will be always engraved in his memory and that's all that matters.

plus, once again, xiao has a lot of other photos of lumine.

a few selfies with her - a blurry picture of her hand in his, fingers locked. a cute candid of lumine playing with a cat. her puffed out cheek. a photo of xiao patting her head. two hearts she carved into the snow. her eye smile. lipstick stains she left on the curve of his jaw.

#xiaolumi #genshin impact #lumine #xiao #xiao x lumine #writing #xiao doesn't share any of those pics anywhere for sure but he loves to look at them and keep them #everything reminds him of her because he's so in love-- i'm so soft #now THIS is what true love looks like

And Essek was crying over Molly even *before* the body was resurrected. "It's just not fair" etc

yeSS that moment is just!! so good! And says so much about his character arc--

I've said this before, but what really gets me is that you can pinpoint the exact moment when Essek's heart starts to ache for Molly. The moment Essek "gets up in a huff"? When he storms off because he just can't fight back the tears any longer? It's right after he sees Caleb say his heartbroken goodbye to Mollymauk--finally returns that forehead kiss.

It's seeing that all too familiar sign of Caleb's love that makes Essek really feel for Mollymauk, makes him break down and shed tears for this person he's never even met. But he knew that Caleb loved him--that all of the Mighty Nein did--and just that was enough.

Before the resurrection ritual began, Essek isn't just skeptical. He's scared. "Are you sure this is even wise to attempt?" The rest of them are alive, and he just can't comprehend why Caleb would dare risk that for someone bound to Lucien's fate. And yet, after seeing the Nein express their love for this stranger again and again, seeing Caleb look actually defeated for the very first time? It shakes something in him.

There's something to Essek asking, "Caleb Widogast, have you ever accepted defeat?" The way Caleb admits so hopelessly, "Maybe today. For the first time." That makes me wonder if...Essek didn't briefly consider alternative ways to bring Mollymauk back. For a moment, I wonder if his thoughts even flitted back to that time travel circle in Aeor. I think losing Mollymauk for good would have made that possibility all the more tempting for Caleb.

Essek insisting it's just not fair? Looking at Caleb and asking him if he was truly giving up--if that's something he's even capable of? It just...makes me wonder. If the Divine Intervention never saved Tealeaf, if Essek had to just watch Caleb mourn and grieve and admit defeat? I think he was really considering for a moment if there were other means of reaching Molly's soul. If there was still some way to reunite Caleb and the rest of the Nein with this person they so dearly loved.

Also, if I recall correctly--when the Nein were working out the logistics of some teleportation spells in the reunion, Kingsley kept suggesting they give Essek a call. It would be just so fun to see them interact is what I'm saying--

#ess refusing to accept that molly is gone for good. that this can possibly be the end because it's just so unfair... #caleb ready to accept defeat for the very first time because losing molly again just broke his heart that much-- #ess reminding him that he was never one to give up-- #the way seeing molly finally open his eyes again after everything just overcomes caleb with so much joy and love as he watches #the others 'descend on molly' and rush to embrace them-- #the shadowidomaukery of it all

Imo Jason is “irredeemable” by default because I don’t see what he needs redemption from.

#I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but joining this fandom made me fucking hate the word ‘redemption’ #no person I’ve seen who is in love with the concept knows the who what where when why or how it should work in a story #apparently it isn’t just themes and tropes anymore people don’t understand the proper use of the word ‘villain’ #kelseethe #also hilarious: Jason should recieve sensitivity training HR style from Bruce ‘I’m the government and children are my cronies’ wayne #if Jasons headstrong/‘answers to no one’ attitude towards vigilantism is what makes people think he's villainous #I hate to be a broken record but the baddie you’re describing is Bruce #nobody thinks he’s a villain for only trusting in his own methods/self and repeatedly isolating himself #and on top of that gaslighting and hurting people around him in attempts to do what HE **thinks** is the right thing #you people always thought *him* heroic not problematic for all these traits #the only difference is Jason isn’t psychologically abusive & controlling #yet he’s still the bad guy just cause he liberally kills folks in the crime business. #l'd argue goth ham war is the b*tman story to remind you of everything that makes Bruce authentically himself #Idk how to tell you that Bruce mentally compromising/crippling his son in a twisted attempt to ‘save him from himself’ #is perfectly in line with slitting the same son’s throat because he couldn’t stand to see him avenge his own killer #and yk what a redemption arc could be interesting for someone like Bruce #because he rarely questions or doubts his choices esp wrt Jason. no matter how morally dubious they may be #I think it would be quite fun to witness his extremely restricted worldview be challenged/shattered he deserves that humbling experience

[shannonsketches]

he's so important to me

#i guess i need to watch the anime but super's manga has just been a self-indulgent fever dream for me from start to finish #100000/10 absolutely perfect so validating so extremely catered to my tastes and headcanons and analyses and humor #so fucking funny and emotional and intense and goofy and beautifully drawn #my beautiful son getting to finally fucking see his HARD won character growth fucking shine and choose love and choose to be loved!!!!!! #Goku just being Goku Vegeta being Team Dad Piccolo being Team Grandpa Bulma being a fucking superstar keeping everybody organized and fed #god i love this squad i love this series i love these dumbasses and their struggles and their triumphs and their stupid childish bonding #I love that Toriyama just spent the last several years reminding the class that DB as a whole has always been an ACTION-COMEDY about LOVE #and I'm SO sad that the z anime really never did it justice in that sense because of having to fill time with dramatic tension but god. GOD #THE MANGA HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO CLEAR ON THAT THESIS. #Just all about Restorative Justice and Community and CARING even when you wish SO MUCH that you didn't care but yoU DO GODDAMMIT!!! #SUCH a great series I'm so sad it took losing mr t for me to finally read it but my god I needed to read it now and I'm so glad he wrote it #and i'm SO glad he wrote it Exactly Like This #once again rip to a legend i'm caught up and crying it's so perfect it's SO everything I've wanted to see onscreen and embedded in canon #and canon isn't everything but it still feels gREAT to be SO 1:1 on the same page with an author re: how you interpret your blorbo yknow??? #been rotating this man in my head for 25 years and Mr Toriyama just mWAH kissed me on the forehead about it #anyway enough tag rambles I'm off again aklsjla #bonus for that kenpachi shit and letting him say 'sorry dude I can't be cold and numb anymore but this is still cathartic as fuck lol' like #mr t i hope you see the HIGHEST tier of heaven for that (and obviously for like everything all of it the whole life you led)

Yk actually I think we as a fandom need to stop separating things by “canon” vs “fanon” and instead describe it more like … dark . Vs not dark. Or smth of similar nature. Cuz some of the “canon” stuff is cool, made for horror purposes, super interesting and I enjoy it a lot, but it is simply not canon and that’s ok !!!!!! (I don’t actually think anyone needs to stop doing anything it’s not that deep)

#example being like.. some people interpret Toby chewing his hands as him being a cannibal which is a super cool interpretation and I like i #but I see someone people take it as ‘oh this is a DEEPER analysis of his character therefore CANON’ #but that’s only because it’s an even darker take on something #and darker in this fandom is automatically associated with canon and ‘more realistic’ #but Toby used to be a canonically goofy ass teenager with a girlfriend he loved very deeply #yk what I mean ? #regardless I love all the work in this fandom dark or not !!!!!!! I just get bothered by ppl having like a complex abt canon vs not canon #chatterbox #love u guys #sory I keep harping on about this it just like LMFAO IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN #IT DEEPLY IRKS ME WHEN PPL HAVE SUPERIORITY COMPLEXES AND BELITTLE OTHERS OVER SILLY ENJOYMENT #reminds me of cringe culture at its peak LOL #also let me further clarify that fanon stuff like twink Masky is bad . like objectively #not everything fanon is sunshine and rainbows #and there are many weird and gross aspects of fanon too

The next one on my list is Robin Arellano!!!

He likes rock n roll, milkshakes, and watching scary movies!

In this au, Robin definitely is trying to block out everything that happened to him. Any mention of the grabber and he’s changing the subject, and is uncomfortable.

He tries very hard to not be affected by it, to not think about how he couldn’t kill the bastard who did that to him, but in the end it does effect him. It effects him a lot.

Robin can’t stand the scars on his forearms, they’re always going to remind him of what he “failed” to do in his mind, something he knows isn’t his fault but can’t help but blame himself for. He doesn’t wear his bandannas anymore after having to see his cut up and bloodied one from his own kidnapping be put in an evidence bag.

He tries everything to forget what happened to him, to try and be stronger, and better in case there’s another grabber out there.

Robin blames himself a lot for what happened, he doesn’t know how or why it is but he just knows it is his fault that Finn was kidnapped, it was his fault that he couldn’t kill the grabber, it was his fault that he was kidnapped because he should’ve known better, and it was his fault for getting murdered…

He tries to keep it inside and tries to look unaffected and happy like he used to be but like all the others, Robin is a traumatized child who didn’t know any better and that is something that infuriates him.

#pippi art #the black phone fandom #the black phone #the black phone fanart #necromancer finney au #robin arellano #tbp robin #robin arellano fanart #Finn braids robins hair after he stopped wearing his bandanna #robin also doesn’t tell finn how he’s feeling after all this but finn knows. he somehow always knows #he wears the bandannas on his wrists to cover up the self defense wounds he has #the other boys try to always comfort him though. they always try for robin #Vance tries to always remind him that it wasn’t his fault and that he shouldn’t think that it is #I think Robin eventually does stop feeling this way but it never fully goes away. but he has a support system that cares and loves him #I got an ask way back when and it was basically talking about how #If Robin were to admit he was scared and that he wasn’t strong enough then he failed his dads memory and failed everything he’s built his #own self image on #I think about that a lot and I’m gonna post it later because holy fuck it’s a damn good ask #that this whole post is credited to #but yeah hope y’all enjoy

Ok milgrammies I just need to tell you this because this is really good stuff and may give us an idea on where we can expect milgram to go in the future. So basically The Caligula Effect 2 which was also produced/directed by Takuya Yamanaka has a trans/gn character in it and it’s really well how it’s handled and stuff.

Like seeing the Caligula effect games really makes me understand the thought process behind milgram more (especially with the music/psychology themes and all the flower motifs) and seeing that Yamanaka is supportive of the LGBTQ+ community like this and is able to to incorporate themes like that into the game makes me definitely hopeful on where milgrams going. And especially how with Fuuta and Muu’s T2 interrogations having a question “are you satisfied with your gender?”. And the whole thing with Es using they/them pronouns and not really having a gender would be very interesting to explore with their backstory.

#milgram #I’m not trans or anything but I really felt like sharing this with all of y’all because it’s just really nice to know this #And I’ve seen people think that es may only use they/them because they lost their memories but with the novels #Having a male and female prison guard named es definitely makes me think our es was always like that #And I’m talking about trans stuff here but there’s also lots of other queer themes we’ve seen presented #I’ve seen stuff like that talked about in Caligula a bit and there’s definitely with muu and kazui having heavily queer themes #And one of the characters in the first novel straight up said she fell in love with another girl in her story so yeah #the caligula effect #the caligula effect 2 #Even onto other stuff Yamanaka is a psychologist so I also do trust him to handle mental health themes in milgram well imo #And kinda how es was respectful to John and everything almost reminds me of ki and gin here #But that’s my opinion #Caligula spoilers #The Caligula effect 2 spoilers

One of the things I really love about Pat's character is the way that in both the episodes that centre him (1x3 - Happy Death Day and 4x7 - It's Behind You) focus on the way that Pat is honoured and loved through Daley and the rest of his family. We see a lot of instances throughout the show of that being a father is a core part of Pat's personality, and by putting an emphasis on the ways that Pat lives on through his family the show further highlights this. Daley seems to show this the most, which is not that surprising given Carol was cheating on Pat for most of the marriage. The fact that they all visit Button House on Pat's death day and the way Daley mimics his dad in the home video is genuinely so heartwrenchingly beautiful, and I love it so much. It is so fitting for the character, and a really beautiful way to explore Pat's past!

#cat.txt #bbc ghosts #bbc ghosts spoilers #I love the christmas special so much it is genuinely my favourite episode #or at least really high up there #I love how Pat the family man is continuously honoured by his family #also carol being slightly unhappy about pat filming everything was kinda sad #like their marriage was a collosal failure in retrospect and while Pat wasn't the most attentive husband and did drive her away with his #rigidity she was the one who cheated on him and therefore the worse offender and seeing her be like 'don't film me' idk it just makes me sa #because it reminds me of how there marriage was kinda bad (as much as Pat loves Carol still) #anyway i have so many feelings about Pat he is such an amazing character #pat my beloved #pat butcher

Hero of winds

#Grays been emulating windwaker on his pc and I’ve been watching time to time. Reminds me of playing it the first time years ago #I really like the graphics on the hd version with the colouring and everything.. and everything is cartoony #Although it also gives me a fear of the ocean because of its sheer size. Literally miles of water as far as the eye can see #Also had a fear of sailing at night because no music would play and the sharks and seahats would pick on me so I would pass #The controller to my brother. But apparently you can just ignore them and keep sailing and they won’t be able to hit you 🗿 #ALSO THE MAIN THEME IS STILL A BANGER TK THIS DAY I love the theme songs for wind waker and skyward sword #Need to find a way to emulate skyward sword. Maybe twilight princess toobevause our disk broke before we got a chance to finish #I do have phantom hourglass and spirit tracks on my R4 and I started a file for spirit tracks when I play on the bus ^^ #Love looking at ppls fanart for toon link Zelda games HE JUST A LITTLE GUYYYY #they knew what they were doing when they made him. I love himb #My art #myart #doodles #the legend of zelda #tloz #the wind waker #hero of winds #toon link #I’m going to put a huge kick me sign saying this but I do like the old red nose tumblr art style.. maybe nostalgia because I used to see #Old Zelda comics and stuff with the old red nose art style but genuinely I think it’s cute

"this is a declaration of love"

#sasuke #narusasu #my art #so like u know how we say sasuke didnt get his freaky hashirama cell arm bc his arm is a reminder #of everythinf he's done and everything naruto has done for him #and it ultimately is a form of self flagellation #which is rly valid bc yeah freaky cell arm #what if it was more like #'our destroyed hands are holding in the aether that we created' #and 'our mollecules are one' #that kind of super unhinged way to express affection #so sasuke keeps his arm amputated as is as a token of love #i prefer to think of it that way #because i dont like thinking of sasuke being consumed by guilt and wasting his days on a 'redemption' that will never come #because he's the only one that decides when he's redeemed #and he will never get to that point #and its OKAY!! to have regrets i think its very sexy of sasuke to regret some of his actions (towards naruto) #thats jsut human nature and it makes him the well-rounded three-dimensional character that i love #bottom line #: every day sasuke wakes up without an arm. it's a declaration of love

Plwease consider Belos having his “oh fuck I’m the bad guy” moment and IMMEDIATELY THE GG ghosts/hallucinations start dunking on him

It's funny you say this cause he does in fact have a break down after finally having it click in his brain. And you know what happens when old man Phil experiences intense emotions!

BIG GOOP MONSTER COMES OUT

Goes a bit crazy, a bit cooky, the rage goes over into sorrow and my dude just kinda passes out due to exhaustion after his temper tantrum.

And then he dreams, but this time it's a LOT more worse than usual.

So yea , you're pretty spot on with that idea lol

#the golden guards aren't as malicious since Philip has been mostly chill with the few he has made #however caleb... #since it's not actually ghost caleb in my au and more hallucination caleb #it all goes downhill fast when he passes out #he's come to the conclusion that his brother did in fact not love him as much as philip did him if he was so eager to run away #all his misery in the village alone obsessing over witches was for nothing #all the pain he had caused was for nothing since humans are chill now with witches #everything is his fault - everything is worse because of him #caleb left because of him #yea shit's not too great with grandpa at that moment #SORRY I KNOW THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DUNNY ASK BUT PFFBDJX #reminded me of one of my au plot points #defanged philip au #lore dumb blegh
