mandy and the birth of venus print she has taped up on her wall...........literally SO special to me OML
something something venus, goddess of love and beauty and victory, born from seafoam.
daughter of the god of the sky—your existence the result of time cutting him down. blood in water, flesh bobbing to the surface. and then there you were. you surely never had a past. you simply appeared one day fully formed, exactly as you are now. or at least you wish you had. and sometimes you feel like you can almost believe that.
thinking about a nook tucked away into a corner of the world, the parted maw of a seashell. about the word venus having ties to the word vanus in sanskrit. about the fact that it roughly translates into "to desire".
about how languages are adopted and morphed and hobbled together into something new. about a newness that is made by necessity, by force.
something something a life of longing and wanting. keeping a doll on your bed because you're always carrying around the ghost of who you were as a child. she's always there, even when you don't want her to be. hedging all your belief on a creator that was irrevocably severed from you from the very start. looking for beauty in all that blood. something something

I think every Wolf 359 fan should look at the timeline of the show every once in while and find something to go insane about.
Like the fact that the whole podcast happens over the course of just over two years, and Eiffel spent 193 days of that time entirely alone on Lovelace's shuttle... Or the fact that they were already 448 days into the mission by the time of the first episode and Eiffel still hadn't taken the DSSPPM out of its plastic wrapping... Or the fact that it took 607 days of living together before Minkowski mentioned her husband to Eiffel and Hera... Or the fact that Lovelace had been on the station for only 14 days when Eiffel nearly died from Decima and only 21 days when Eiffel got stranded in deep space... Or the fact that it was Day 666 when he got stranded... Or the fact that there were 81 days between Minkowski finding out about Eiffel's jail sentence and her telling him that she knew... Or the fact that Minkowski, Eiffel and Jacobi spent 15 days under Pryce's mind control... Or the fact that the second Hephaestus mission was 1223 days long when it was only meant to be 730... Or the fact that there were nearly 7 years between Isabel Lovelace arriving on the Hephaestus for the first time and her finally leaving it behind for good...

Hey guys who wants a hunger au scene?? :]
My friend @corvidaearts was so cool and kind enough to draw a comic for the hunger au fic, so i thought i would post the actual scene in question to provide a little context for it. Thank you so much, Crow, i am truly bananas over the comic you did for this holy shit, PLEASE go check it out on their account, and i hope you guys enjoy this little nugget of the fic!!!
cws for: suicidal ideation, past suicide attempt, starvation, themes of disordered eating. Be safe!!
"I think," Grian says, slowly, wearily, "you've made a mistake."
Xisuma winces; the motion is sharp and jarring without his helmet as a barrier between them. "I know," he says, and there's a layer of shame and heavy regret running over the words. "I… I hear that. I wasn't thinking with my head when we– when I kicked you. It was all–" he makes a nebulous gesture in the air between them, before letting his arm fall again– "such a big mess, it got away from me." His lips tilt up in a wry smile. "Like it always tends to."
"No, no– not that." Grian sighs, does his best to ignore the band cinching tight around his chest. His eyes flutter shut, just for a moment; the echoes of Mumbo's urgent voice still plead with him to keep them open. "You made a– kicking me was for the best." He lifts tired lashes again, staring Xisuma down with as much conviction as he can muster. "But you should've just killed me when you had the chance. I was trying to help you."
The words drop from his mouth like beads of glass, shattering as they hit the floor. For a single, frozen eternity, Xisuma stares at him with uncomprehending eyes.
Then the world begins to spin again, and Xisuma physically recoils.
"Grian," he breathes, "You can't actually mean that. And– help us? What does that even mean?"
"It means I'm dangerous when I'm like this." Bitterness drips from Grian's voice before he can stop it– thick and viscous, painting the air in broad strokes. "Every time I pulled people into those games, it was because I was hungry. And people– people got hurt for it. People died over it, and they were tricked into thinking it'd be permanent–" he breaks off; his breath is beginning to come fast, chest expanding and contracting in a rapid cycle. "I did that," he finishes, and it's a punch to the gut, a breathless admission that shrouds the air over them. "I shouldn't be– I can't let myself ever do that again, X. I can't be trusted."

I can't believe Bakugo canonically hates rain now that's so sad
No because… he looks outside and is happy it’s sunny. He thinks things like “the weather is so nice” and “it’s a beautiful day.” He likes the way sunshine feels on his shoulders, and being in patches of light that warm his whole body up.
And when it rains he gets all grumpy and antsy and just wants to hole up inside. He wishes that the sun were out. I’m gonna kill myself.
