So... Warriors

It is obvious by now he's not ok. He's irritable and tense.

I've had thoughts and ideas on this for awhile, so I think now's a good time to speak them. Very important detail at the end.

There are some really big and some small things adding to his stress

The drama with the sword. Wild went against the agreed plan, and lashed out in anger fear for twilights injury. From things Jojo said, Wars is mad about it for a while.

I have said this in other posts, but based on things Jojo has said and some details, I do not think Wild likes wars. He has not really gotten close to him, which adds on to the negativity between them

But Wars... is a captain. This journey is different, and he's doing amazing at setting aside expectations of how to work with rank. But that is still a clear stressor- to him that was unacceptable in battle

^this is one big thing we watched go wrong and has clearly been upsetting since

Another thing is

Wars has been taking on too much. We've seen him break up a fight at the inn, comfort Time (time!), and tell him he'd take care of the others.

Twice he said "let them", and "let him be"-making others have space they needed. He asked Four what was wrong and followed up with helping with smithing.

^^These are all small things. None of these are huge- practically tiny tasks. But they add up- all the attention to others feeling but not his own

... and

Wars has not smiled. Yes, he smiled, but it was not his smile. Since Twilight went injured to the inn, there has only been smiles in a way expected, but not much beyond when he found out his friend wasn't dead. (And when he helped Four at the blacksmiths)

In the updates, I have seen others saying how cool/pretty he looked. Which he did! But emotion wise, I only thought he looked angry. Even when teasing Twilight...

^Not his smile

But here's the biggest thing that I believe is bothering him...

I've wanted to point this out for awhile. The thing is, Wars was really hurt when he found out Twilight didn't tell him about Wolfie

It's small details. A few sentences and facial expressions. But they add up over the chapter, and I don't think he felt trusted or trusting when he found out

He tried to find out who else knew

And why he was one who didn't

*read the blurred words:

"No one said anything to me, I'm just left out of the loop. Who else knows? Just us?"

Wolfie being secret wasn't necessarily about trust, but wars took it personally. He really didn't understand or want to accept that Twilight would have told some of the others but not him...

Wars is distinctly closer to the ones his age, who the younger ones often turn to. And as someone who's been through war, who bonds closest with those he feels he works with best?

Twilight having a major secret he didn't share with Wars, but did with others,

Felt like a knife to the (back?) chest.

And it hurt him

Look at his face when saying "we couldn't do a thing for him". He's looking away, directly after asking four and wild if they knew. I don't think he felt trusted. Or trusting. From thinking someone wasn't who he thought he was, and maybe was closer to others...

^^this is what I think is perhaps the biggest stressor- yet most unnoticeable

Wars never spoke to anyone about his feelings. He pushed it aside and went and helped.

This is ok. Between people so close, anything can be worked out. This is very revealing of how much Wars cares about twilight and the others

As far as Warriors pushing aside his needs and focusing on others... it's hard.

But I can confidently say this: Warriors would never want to not help all he could, when the others needed him

Here's this screenshot that makes me laugh (and somehow sky is just chill with this?)

Wars: oh my god my friend just came back from a wolf what the Hylia who can I even trust I'm having an invisible crisis

Sky: oh yay the sword helped he's back :)

Twilight: I'm fine *currently dying*

Wars is stressed right now. He's taken on too much, he's probably still mad at Champion, and... he feels betrayed (god wars should never have to feel betrayed) and untrusted

Like literally everyone ever others, wars deals with his hurt. Sometimes he can't deal with it alone, and sometimes he can. It will all work out, and I love how much he loves his brothers.

But nothing, I repeat nothing

Will be ok

IF HE DOESNT START WEARING THE DAMN SCARF SOON CMON WE HAVENT SEEN IT IN LIKE TEN UPDATES

PUT ON YOUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT SCARF CMON MAN

Ok I'm calm <3

I have given up. have at it wars simps #Lu wars #I feel like some of my wording was too harsh- perhaps from just discussing an uncomfortable topic #but if I have said anything offensive let me know I want to learn :D

As many of us have noticed, Ed isn't wearing Stede's black cravat around his neck at the beginning of S2. He only puts it back on in 2.3, when he is making a definite move to commit suicide (by proxy).

The symbolism of that is heartbreaking enough. He took off the symbol of his love for Stede and lashed out at his crew, pushing them to the limit until they turned on him (or so he hoped).

Not being able to make them kill him, not even by giving Izzy the gun and pointing it at his skull, he takes matters into his own hands in the most direct way he is able to do(short of shooting himself, but that is another post). He sails into a storm, takes out the wheel, and points a cannon at the mast. If the crew won't kill him out of self-preservation when faced with a 0% chance of survival, then the sea will.

The cravat is the sign that this is his ultimate attempt. He puts on the symbol of what once gave him hope (remember how he was also contemplating death before meeting Stede) and then pushed him down further into madness when it turned out to be a lie (at least in his mind).

But notice how losely, comfortably the cravat sat around his neck in Season 1.

And how tightly he puts it now. Two blind knots close to his neck, like a noose.

This cravat tells a silent story.

You good Ed? What upsets you?

Upset? Nooo nooo he's not upset. Not at allll. What do you mean?? Why do you say that!? Why wouldn't he be upset about how Cheezi is worried he upset him but he can't quite tell him all the ins and outs of the complications of their affiliation with Scar and so he has to depend on the understanding of others to explain that touchy subject.

Hi guys! Thanks for everyone who sent motivation. I'm still not done with the darn fic but I'm going to release the first few paragraphs for you guys in advance. Tell me what you think. I'm also plopping some art that I made for it here as well. Here's the teaser:

Keith couldn't believe that he let himself get dragged along to a butterfly garden of all things. Why couldn't it have been anywhere else? It's not like he was afraid of butterflies or anything. He just didn't like how they felt on his skin. He appreciated their beauty but he didn't trust himself not to scream if one happened to land on him.

He was in a hot, bright, colorful place that was filled to the brim with butterflies. Honestly, it was giving him a bit of sensory overload. He didn't know where to look. If he looked ahead of him, he run the risk of stepping on a butterfly or even one of their button pheasants. If he looked at the ground, he risked walking into a flying butterfly. (It's a real concern. Trust me.)

This place was freaking him out and it showed. He walked like he was in enemy territory and risked getting shot down with every step. He was odviously majorly paranoid.

"Could the oh so brave Keith Kogane be afraid of butterflies?"

Why was Lance like this?

"No, I just don't like how they outnumber us. They're unpredict-"

"Woah. Keith's paranoid about butterflies."

Pidge added so beautifully to the conversation. She so tactfully explained Keith's situation in terms both she and Lance could understand. Bravo.

#barely tagging because I don't feel like it atm #what do you guys think?#the setting changes after a bit #soo #I was originally inspired by the idea #of beautiful butterflies fluttering around and the camera follows them to a petrified Keith #He's not ok #keith voltron #lance voltron #art #fic wip #voltron fic wip #klance

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

literally wake up some nights in a cold sweat thinking about this
