I truly think what luffy and zoro saw so immediately in nami in orange town, before she even really saw it in herself, that made them clock her as crew was just that reality defying tenacity and conviction that all of them share. luffy looks at her across the bars of that cage and understands that there’s something in this world she wants with the same ferocity he does, ideals that she obeys with the same intensity as him, and it’s that moment of understanding that makes him set on her being part of his crew. nami likes to pretend that she’s the normal one but the truth is that she’s just as much of a freak as luffy or zoro, and she’s a freak in exactly the same way! she’d rather bend the laws of reality and physics to her will than lie down and accept a loss, and zoro and luffy spend the rest of their relationship calling her bluff every time she tries to pretend it isn’t true. all three of them have eyes bigger than their stomachs and an understanding from day 1 that the only thing scarier than trying and failing is to never have tried at all. I just love them a lot is what I’m getting at here ok

I really, really, really wanted a winter vibes doodle, and also I needed to warm up for the next round of fic illustrations. I see this as a win-win scenario.
And then I kept letting the brain talk me into an entire scenario around the doodle. Whoops.
In conclusion, happy holidays, have a human kid!Grogu riding a long-tailed reindeer.

So, a fun fact about the missing sub is that it lived in the workshop that my robotics team works out of. And may I say that when you leave a very cool piece of tech completely unsupervised with a group of nerds with the door propped open you bet we gonna crawl all over that shit.
So when I say that sitting alone in that thing as a 5”5 person I felt cramped that’s saying something. Like it’s fucking tiny I can’t express the amount that that thing sucks to be in. There aren’t any seats the floor feels like those foam puzzle piece mats.there’s one computer monitor kinda attached to the wall, and this may have changed for the actual expedition, but there was a gaming controller attached inside.
I have no understanding how they sold that as an experience, it’s terrible to be in there and there’s one Tiny porthole at the front. Like fuck this whole thing is fucked

you know, for as Fucked as what Pucci did was, I. Can't stop thinking about how young he'd been
just. You're fifteen and you live with your parents
you're fifteen and you have two siblings, a little sister you love more than anything else and a twin who died before you could know him
you're fifteen and you want to be a priest so you volunteer and work at the local church
you're fifteen and you meet a blonde stranger who fixes your injured foot and gives you an arrowhead and speaks of Fate
you're fifteen and you learn your twin isn't as dead as everyone thought
you're fifteen and your brother and sister are dating and neither of them know it
you're fifteen and you don't tell anyone because how can you break their hearts like that
you're fifteen and you hire an investigator to fix things, to make things right, to make it so they won't make the worst mistake of their lives
you're fifteen and you realise too late what's happened
you're fifteen and you hold your sister's corpse at the bottom of the cliff she jumped from
you're fifteen and your brother hates you more than anything
you're fifteen and your brother kills everyone in town in his rage and the only way to stop him is to steal the power you're responsible for giving him
you're fifteen and you can't do it, can't loose another sibling so soon after the first, so you take his memories instead and make him a blank slate
you're fifteen and you hold your brother's memories close as his body crumples to the floor, what happened that awful night being revealed to you in full clarity
you're fifteen and you cling to the idea of Fate because what else could explain the tragedy that has destroyed everything you loved
you're fifteen.

there's a scene in vaincre by lumosinlove, where these two characters (leo and finn) are talking about relationships they've been in where they've had to hide, and leo says something like "it wasn't his fault, he was just scared. we were all just scared." and finn says "still, there's a way to treat a person"
and this is how i know that i am deeply emotionally repressed.
because no mcd has ever made be sob as much as that line.
it's not even a particularly sad moment in that fic (like it is but it isn't)
but.
there's a way to treat a person.
we were all scared. but you didn't need to cut me open like that. you didn't need to shove me aside. you didn't need to look through me. we were all scared but you still could have been kind. surely. kinder, at least, than the things we were scared of.
there's a way to treat a person.

SET FOUR - ROUND ONE - MATCH FIVE
"Heroic Head of Pierre de Wissant, One of the Burghers of Calais" (1886- Auguste Rodin) / "The Weather" (exhibited September 24, 2021 – August 7, 2022 - Laurie Anderson)
HEROIC HEAD OF PIERRE DE WISSANT, ONE OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS: He is also part of larger piece but it is his facial expression first and his person second which get to me (@rhytons)
THE WEATHER: This is the Laurie Anderson room at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. I think it used to be part of a larger exhibit but I only saw it recently and by then it was this one room. It’s hard to describe without being there — this huge black room covered in white paint. Drawings, words, on the walls and the floor. I kid you not, walking into that room felt like walking directly into my brain. The fragmentation, the poetry of it, it’s so crowded, bursting with cognition. Remembrances and stray ideas fly around this place and I stayed there for an hour plus, reading everything and looking at everything and sitting in the corner. It made me so insane I went home and wrote an entire prose poem about it. (@green-cargaytions)
("Heroic Head of Pierre de Wissant, One of the Burghers of Calais" is a plaster sculpture by Auguste Rodin. It measures 85.1 x 61 x 50.8 cm (33 1/2 x 24 x 20 in and is located in the Cleveland Museum of Art. There are various different versions of this sculpture made by Rodin.
"The Weather" is an audiovisual exhibition by American artist Laurie Anderson. It was exhibited at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC from September 24, 2021 – August 7, 2022, where it spanned the second floor.)
