sorry sometimes i think about mako and my heart hurts so much. this kid raised himself and his brother on the streets in homelessness and utter poverty from eight through fifteen, promptly after seeing the violent death of his mother and father. he turned to the triple threats because they couldn't survive as a pair of wretched kids without any adult support, and the environment forced him to turn into the exact character that killed his parents in a terrible twist of irony. and after sheer-fucking-luck hits and they aren't homeless anymore, their livelihood wavers on the outcome of what's a literally game to everyone but them; and after things are finally starting to look up and their team is going places and things just might be okay, his gradually stabilizing world unceremoniously expands and everything goes to shit.

and the city that chewed him up and spat him back out, ruined him as a child and took away his ability to stay afloat in a true sense of normalcy as an adult — when it's on the verge of destruction and falling to pieces before his eyes, he gives himself to save it with the full expectation to die. he went from the kid who didn't and couldn't care about anything outside of himself and his brother, to finding redemption for his younger self in his police work despite its injustice against him, to willingly sacrificing himself to a world that had never loved him.

he's a desperate people pleaser, socially and emotionally stunted for the adult he had to be as a kid, unable to navigate interpersonal relationships easily yet still trying his damned hardest. he's intensely and entirely devoted to the things that matter to him and for so long it was only him, bolin, and ensuring their survival — yet by the end, that devotion has expanded to protecting the rest of the world. he starts out entirely self-reliant and ends in trusting the people he cares about to know their own needs, to be able to take care of themselves, to be okay without him despite having spent so much of his life defined by his role in others' well-being.

just. what the fuck i'm such a big fan of this fictional guy and i'm unashamed about it at this point. also let him cry please (if you won't i'll do it i'll let him cry)

#lychee's brain trash #mako lok #mako tlok #sorry for the shitpost i don't do a lot of those i realize #how tf did this guy not had a massive break down in canon at any point #nd like;; he never shows resentment for the unfairness of it all #he doesn't ever use his past to excuse any of his choices/actions that are influenced by it #which is pretty intrinsically linked to his relationship fumbles #he just quietly holds himself accountable and probably mildly despises himself haha #as much as i don't care for the love triangle it really does make complete sense in accordance to his backstory #anyway this is just a roundabout way of me expressing my salt at people writing him off as a malicious asshole lol #i literally cannot articulate the intense complex things his conjured up existence makes me feel #this does not even scratch the surface there is SO MUCH #i need to actually write the fifty fics that exist to my brain otherwise all these thoughts will never see the sun #trust that one day the avatar!mako au will emerge from my drafts;;; #and. you know. that one shot i've had in wip for the past 2.5 years #and the four other oneshots that will probably never be converted into actual words

#drew this as an apology for calling him a corncob #based on nothing but that one second shot of him drinking milk i decided that fili loves dairy #especially bc it was probably pretty expensive back in ered luin #dwarrow dont seem the farming type so they probably had to buy and trade with men for things like that #and they probably didnt get fair deals #so i think fili loves things like butter n cheese theyre little luxuries to him #this is all just headcanon though #the hobbit #arts #Fíli

I know some folks have been saying “Ed wanted to die in the same place he laid next to Stede-“ WRONG! HE WANTED TO DIE WHERE STEDE LAID NEXT TO HIM!!!

The place Auntie points out as being where his head was crushed by the cannon ball is the exact spot where Stede’s head had been during the arrest and that’s even more insane than the first option. (Anyway, I wanted to correct that assumption. It’s only a matter of like 2 feet, but I still find it an important detail, and figured a visual might help!)

#Cae Has Lots of Feelings About Our Flag Means Death #GUYS- #HE LAID DOWN IN ONE OF THE LAST PLACES STEDE WAS ON THE REVENGE #HE LET HIS BODY BREAKDOWN AND GIVE TO THE TIRE RIGHT ON THAT SPOT #HE WANTED TO DIE ON THE EXACT SPOT THAT STEDE LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID “You came back.” #I am screaming and crying and feeling every emotion humanly possible #I need us all to know that Edward Teach born on a beach wanted to spend his last moments in a place he remembers so fondly #Despite all the chaos of the British Invasion he smiled while he was arrested #Looking at Stede and waiting to see whatever happened as long as they saw it together #And now Stede's gone #But Edward will be too. Soon. #So he lays down - right there - to wait for it to come #Wearing Stede's Cravat #Soaking up whatever tangential connection to Stede Bonnet remains on his ship #I love him your honor #He is so babygirl #It's also a fun lil easter egg that Frenchie's in pretty much the same place in both shots too lol - but Ed's the crucial part #Our Flag Means Death #OFMD #Our Flag Means Death Season 2 Spoilers #Our Flag Means Death Spoilers #OFMD Spoilers #OFMDS2 #OFMD s2 spoilers #Stede Bonnet #The Gentleman Pirate #Edward Teach #Blackbeard #Gentlebeard #OFMD Meta

Replenishing the Nonfiction Stack; or, We're Calling the Book Buying Ban a Wash, Officially.

I am not, apparently, immune to coupons for niche nonfiction that's directly up my alley (octopus minds and RUSSIAN OWLS, hello??? Thanks, bookshop!).

I thought perhaps the BURGLAR'S GUIDE would also be covered under said coupon, since it was publisher-specific (alas: it was Not, but we might as well bundle for shipping purposes). And then while I was shopping IRL for gifties I found a copy of ROOM, which has been on my list for...ever? So! Hopefully these will hold me over on the nonfiction front for a minute!

#books #book photography #nonfiction #tbr #a burglar's guide to the city #geoff manaugh #a room of one's own #virginia woolf #other minds #peter godfrey-smith #owls of the eastern ice #jonathan c. slaght #it was an FSG/Picador coupon that bookshop sent me lol #and i knew burglar's guide was also FSG but apparently the coupon was only for Specific Books on their List #(owls and minds) #so. those were impulse buys. #burglar's lowkey was too tbh #ROOM was 'if i cannot literally buy myself a room of my own right now i will purchase this book about it' #(the housing market will be the death of me i stg) #i saw a snippet from burglar's on this hellsite and thought 'ah architecture and thievery YES please' #seriously all my niche interests right here lolol #and yeah okay i really did think i was going to moderate a book ban (read 5 buy 1) #but i've been failing at that since. january. and i will not catch up at this stage :( #so we'll just call that dead to the world and pretend it didn't ever exist :) #ANYWAY PLEASE BEHOLD MY PRETTY BOOKS!!! #i had a spine shot but i didn't love what it did to the photoset composition lol #might as well post that separately here i goooo

You know that feeling, when you’re listening to someone tell a story, and you can just feel in your gut that what actually happened is SO much darker than how they’re relaying it? And they’ve put a ton of effort in, right, to sand the edges down. They’ve gone over it a hundred times, beating all the wrinkles out, practicing like you’d practice a presentation or a stand-up routine. By the time they tell you the story, it’s perfect. You can’t help but be charmed by it. Can’t help but laugh at all the little silly bits. Can’t help but see it the way they want you to, so you don’t ask questions, you don’t dig in to the open wound just behind the plaster, you don’t let the certainty that it was Bad, Actually sweep you away. It’s just a fun anecdote now. Smile with them. Laugh with them. They’re here now, so it’s fine, right? Right?

I get the feeling that’s just Simone’s entire marriage to Taissa, and I feel so fucking bad for them both.

#yellowjackets #taissa turner #Simone deserves so much better and I say that as a number one Taissa stan #I love tai. I live for tai. oh my GOD watching her relationship with Simone gets under my skin #it has to be perfect. it has to be perfect so it can never be real #whereas with van they had no shot at perfect. no choice but to be real. #and tai got out of the woods. and out of the next three years or so (presumably) with van #and went ‘cool cool cool how do I do the opposite of that so I have control over myself’ #and the answer is: a lie. a pretty lie. shined up. put all the realities in a box. tell her NOTHING. #look cool and fun and hot when you’re in a good mood. shut her out when you’re not. #and watch with surprise when the house of cards you’ve meticulously built just blows away the next time a hurricane rolls into town #how MANY conversations over YEARS did Simone look at her and KNOW she wasn’t getting the real tai #and just. coping with it out of love and hope that she’d get there some day #gaaaaaah. Justice for Simone. get her and Sammy to a beautiful home faaaaar away from Jersey and wilderness gods

#three shots of the kid in one minute? #pretty much sums up the last 18 months #i think that's what i counted #i couldn't watch it again #it was like a jump scare #i watched like this 🫣 #it was like a horror film when you know it's coming #i had hopes #they weren't high #they were maybe knee level #but here we are #it looks so good otherwise #i wanted to love it #but they obvershly have a goal #can i give you that back i don't want it #louis #stunts #bbg #babygate #all of those voices #aotv #now we know why they had us trend it before they dropped the trailer #i literally made this face

some very very quick costume shorthands!

#&juliet #had the absolute luck of watching this live the other night and it was. truly amazing!!! aaah #rough character designs for the younger leads (excluding like the Grown adult duos..) because?? idk #this is how it always starts. once the character designs start getting simplified like this that's when it all begins #which is hmmm timing but i really can't shut up about this musical it was so so fun. absolute vibes and energy #made me laugh and cry and was such an Experience. i adore them all but may specifically made me sob at some parts dfjkldfh #lots of thoughts! but one of the favs is how they wrote it so the existing songs and actions fit so well. #like in a rhyming bit they had frankie accept a drink and then the song was like ''drink in hand'' and i was all !!!!!! #also maybe it's local censorship? but there wasn't the kisses.. they replaced it w kissing hands and then holding hands #which is like a cute nod to the ''hand to hand holy palmers kiss' or smth but also maybe two guys doing that would not have made it past :/ #oh my god i. the way rnj parallels the shakespeare duo... whdskjfhgh. may + not being a Girl kdjhgf. frankie and may. aaagh. #angelique being so so badass. i . the speech about Gender by anne and the Proposal by angelique both made the whole theatre cheer love that #also rotating stage lives in my mind rent free i ADORE the set holy moly.. also also the actors were so good. also the Projections. #also the music and costumes and special effects and aerial moments. and the ensemble. and the choreo #also the cast is so talented. and pretty. and the whole confidence part vs the vulnerability of some bits... whshjfgjkl. hhh #im just listing stuff now but it was so vibes. what an experience ever. it's also shot me directly into 14-years-old again so #spent the morning alone vibing to the soundtrack intensely... i just... sometimes things hold special places in your heart idk!!! #i don't know what to do with these designs though... like the show is such a lovely Spectacle but also idk where to branch out by myself no #there's so much to Absorb again and again. i get the feeling any true work from this i would do in a form of an animatic though.. oops #tldr? 1. &juliet very good just as itself 2. we have History 3. i got to see it live which always propels me into bonkers over musicals! #so so rough but i needed to get smth out and . whatever. an art blog is an art blog. back to hiatus now i think #<reminder to myself: this is essentially an artchive.. there's no quality control if you don't want it! have fun!! ily>

oh no I smoked too much weed and gave myself zoomies both from the excitement from my new peak pro and the excitement from the new weed itself and def smoked way more than I should have and probs will continue to smoke more than I should because of this double dose of excitement until I finally just pass out after days of hardly sleeping recently lmao

but ANYWAYS before that happens !!! I currently have the strongest urge to go wreck people in fucking battlegrounds to level one of my assorted disc priests and because like …. ever since I got 100k honorable kills achieve, I’ve wanted that goddamn fucking ‘the Bloodthirsty’ title from the 250k honorable kills achieve and I was farming that before I stopped having the drive to game a few months back.

so let’s see how queues go at 2am on a fucking Wednesday morning, I wonder if I’ll give up before I find a bracket with fast pvp queues tonight tbh. it’s more likely I’ll end up pugging a raid on my mistweaver main if it takes too long to get into a battleground just to preoccupy myself for a bit and try to get a chance at trinkets and shit lmao

#this is huge tho I haven’t WANTED to game enough to drag my laptop out and play in MONTHS #I logged in for the first time in ages the other day and I had so much fun in my battlegrounds I didn’t even realize we were winning #I was just having a fucking blast being a healer and a menace because I’m playing a disc priest rn of course lmao #and now I want to game again so bad but like mindlessly and bgs are mindless to me I guess??? #like they’re so easy and all muscle memory and hardly take any thought so I think I could function enough to fuck some people up for a bit #or raiding Amirdrassil on LFR or normal. also pretty mindless even when pugging groups and all that. #everything’s usually one shot one kill or like 2 shots per kill max because people learn from their mistakes !!! #but like as a healer I know my shit so it’s just mindless (except for Larodar ((MY BELOVED)) because I LOVE that fight and get super into it #his dialogue is just too fuckin good and the voice??? truly chefs kiss like perfect voice casting #almost as fantastic as Sire Denathrius tbh and that’s like the big vocally satisfying one for me LMAO #this tag rant went on a wild roller coaster what the fuck I am so sorry for anyone who read these #I’m trying to read them back and I can’t even understand my fucking thought process LMFAO

theo and liam always getting paired together in 6b during episodes where all of the other storylines focus on couples going through stuff together is so funny because when you look at it, the only episode where they really get split up is genotype, which is one of the rare episodes where scott ISN’T paired with malia (because he’s with liam) and mason isn’t with corey (because he’s with theo) aka the canon love interests. like these episodes were cutting from shit like scalia almost dying together to thiam having intimate conversations about how liam processes emotions and morey saying i love you to thiam swearing that neither of them are dying for each other 😭 just very amusing to me. theo raeken: the accidental love interest.

#like 😭 #6b eps post theo getting kidnapped go pressure test -> triggers -> werewolves of london -> genotype -> 6.19 which i barely remember -> #then wolves of war aka the finale #pressure test: mason & corey are at deatons. theo shows up at the police station w everyone & shoves liam in the bathroom to berate him for #not being worried ab his own safety enough ??? 😭 & hes pretty much attached to liams hip in the group shots #also while theo & scott are outside doing their lil body bag trick malia and liam are pressed right against the window watching both of them #& during triggers we dont see corey but mason leaves theo & liam alone . & its a major bonding ep for them…. #while scalia are also having their major bonding moment when they both almost Die #then during werewolves of london theo just shows up at the school and they end up calling scalia for help 😭 #and again genotype breaks all the couples off from each other so its mason n theo / scott n liam / malia with her dad #and during wolves of war i literally laughed out loud because it bounces around from jethan to morey to thiam all having heart to hearts #not saying it was intentional but it was very funny framing TO ME #that ao3 tag thats like ‘they are dating in secret but only one is aware’ LIEKDJENEBR #they basically made theo liam’s love interest on accident just bcuz everyone else was already paired off w someone 😭 #thiam #saw someone the other day say they just dont get how people Came Up with thiam and its like #ok if you dont ship it whatever but if you say you cant see why youre just lying 😭 look at the material

for miwip wednesday, an excerpt from my mike-finds-out-about-the-painting fic: two lives intertwined (one yours, one mine)

#most of what i see in this fandom is mike being very in tune w his own feelings and already being aware that he's in love with will #so i wanted to explore the scenario where he doesn't know yet and it takes longer for him to come to terms with his sexuality #the purpose of this fic was for them to talk. really talk. and hash out everything that's changed between them since november 1984 #mostly the painting ofc but also the rain fight. the lack of communication in lenora. hellfire club. vecna's impending return. #i just want them to communicate haha that's pretty much it #also they don't get together immediately here btw bc it's part of a slowburn series of one shots set during a hypothetical season 5 #ofc they will end up together when it's all over. but not in this piece #fic: two lives intertwined #miwip wednesday #rae writes #rae.txt #byler #stranger things

Agamemnon and Odysseus are protective of Menelaus in different ways.

Agamemnon is the overprotective brother who is constantly looking out for Menelaus and will "set himself on fire to keep his brother warm" and will reprimand anyone who is mean to Menelaus and demand an apology.

Odysseus is protective in the "Menelaus is my favorite of favorite guys. He's the only other leader I genuinely LIKE and we have scheduled sleepovers in which we go cuddle and cry about how much we miss our families in a blanket fort. If you are mean to him, I'll show you just how fucking mean I can be. How DARE you make fun of his seal onesie?😡"

#Menelaus wears his seal onesie to the sleepover and Odysseus is in a goat one #Menelaus has a swan stuffed animal (idk what else. Hector is the horseboy) and Odysseus has a duck lksdjf FUCKING WEBKINZ OR SOME SHIT #ksldjf klsd #this is so fucking stupid but I love it #Some guy said something mean to Menelaus so he's sad and while Agamemnon is reprimanding him in 'legal' ways. Odysseus #just steals some of the guy's shit and fucks with his gear and 'nudges' him into mud. He makes it fucking personal. #Menelaus: 'I guess what goes around comes around.' #Odysseus: 'yuh-huh. definitely buddy. DEFINITELY THAT' *hiding all the shoelaces he cut up and some of the pretty things he took* #I love them 🥺 They are my Guys™ #menody #idk what else to tag #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #my headcanons #the sweet boy and the shithead #AND THEY BOTH LOVE THEIR WIVES AND KIDS #waiting for proteus
