ID: 2 digital sketches of septimus heap and mandy marwick. In the first drawing they are teenagers and in the second they are adults.

1: Septimus and Marwick sat next to each other. Septimus has Marwick's keeper's journal open on his lap and is pointing at something in it. Marwick is watching him with a smile. Septimus is wearing his green apprentice tunic and cloak, and his silver belt and brown boots. Marwick is wearing a dark brown cloak with a silver pin, beige shirt and brown trousers and boots.

2: Septimus and Marwick hugging. They both have their eyes closed and are smiling. Marwick is taller than Septimus and is wearing a plain tunic. Septimus is wearing his ExtraOrdinary Wizard robes.

End ID

Commissions of sep and marwick from @vithcy who is INCREDIBLE and AMAZING and maybe a mind reader bc these r like. The greatest thing I've ever seen. Maybe a little silly to say they feel custom made for my tastes given I commissioned them but considering how vague I was in asking!!!! Literally that!!!!! Images specifically designed to make me scream and yell and eat rocks!!!

#sep talks #septimus heap #mandy marwick #I genuinely can't look at the second one for too long bc I get overwhelmed and have to calm down #ANYWAY. LOOK AT THESE. LOOK AT THEM. MY BELOVEDS MY SPECIAL FAVOURITES #also entirely unrelated but I burned my thumb earlier and it Hurts to type. Oh well <3 #if my ID needs anything pls lmk!! Head not quite on straight today I don't think #I have very little coherent to say abt these rn other than screaming (good thing) 👍

Skitch totally gets Wanda into Animal Crossing. They mostly just liked it for the fishing and bug hunting, but Wanda? Oh she loves the customization.

I can see Skitch playing Animal Crossing casually and then showing it to Wanda one day like, "check this out really quick" and her getting stuck on all the villagers and ambience they're passing by trying to get to the museum.

"That deer's really cute"

"Oh, that's Bruce, he's pretty chill. I'm probably gonna evict him soon."

"What? Why???"

"Eh, he just rubs me the wrong way."

---

"Are those cherries in your trees?"

"Yeah, my island started with those. I need to get rid of these weeds tho."

*realizes that their standing in a cluster of weeds and not tall grass* "why are there so many???"

---

I wanna say that Skitch's island is well looked-after and they are pretty proud of how it's coming along, but things like weeds get overlooked sometimes. It's an "out of sight or of mind" kinda thing, but it never gets too egregious.

But this just spirals for Wanda after she decides to check the game out herself. I feel like her island is very aesthetic™️ and pretty maintained. Wanda also plays casually, but she keeps things in order. She needs to have peach trees, and she must have Shino on her island.

Wanda's assistant, Mandy, is also an avid player of AC, so I can see her giving Wanda tips and trading stuff often. I feel it in my heart of hearts.

Also, every time Skitch visits Wanda's island, they leave behind a little gift for her, probably by her house. This ranges from innocuous nonsense like a bag of weeds to something Wanda was actually looking for.

not you reminding me that I have ACNH on my switch- 😂

#rough cut diamonds #skitch introducing wanda to animal crossing on a whim #like just look at all these fish i caughtttt #and wanda's still stuck on audie's cute little dress that she saw earlier- #she needs all the furniture in her house to go together thematically #and she actually keeps track of what her other villagers would wear/like/use #mandy is ecstatic to hear that wanda's gotten into something she knows a lot about and is totally down to help on their off-time #i can only imagine the things that ensue when wanda and skitch visit each other's islands tho #i don't wanna say skitch has created a monster....but skitch may have created a monster #animal crosssing is a game that exists that i forgot that i own... #i must look back at the source material #but know that they both wanda and skitch enjoy it #wanda and skitch time #jeweler!wanda #skitch #wanda maximoff #metalworker!reader #wanda maximoff x reader #rcd.headcanons #ib/skitch #ink.wanda #ib-jc.

I like to think that for every scene of the gallaghers siblings interacting and bonding, there's also one of the milkoviches we just didn't get to see

#i know theyre described as not that close and they live for themselves and most of the time they dont know what each other is up to #but i mean so are the gallaghers? emma kenney was the one who described them as people who deal with their own struggles alone wasnt it? #im just saying. mickey was running after ian for mandy s1. #all his brothers agreed to kill frank when mickey asked for their help no questions asked s2 right #all those deleted scenes of mickey/mandy s4? #how they lived together s5 and mandy helped with the whole homophobic church man + maniac ian? #they way mickey went for his blood for advice s10? #the whole s11 thanksgiving with his cousins thing? #MAN how they dug a ditch for mandy s2 no questions asked #the way sandy was up to help mickey too s10 #shameless #shameless us #mickey milkovich #mandy milkovich #og. #s11

so i had to step in and dance in one of the dances at the competition today (context: i’m a dance teacher. yes i’m too old to compete) and i fucked up sooo bad so now i’m sitting in a dressing room with a bunch of parents and studio directors that are pissed at me 😭 this is not optimal

#tw vent #imma come out and say i’m really desperate for attention rn bc everyone’s literally ignoring me #so sorry for vent posting 😭😭😭 #more context: i just missed an entire move basically because i didn’t know the dance well #BC I WASNT SUPPOSED TO BE IN IT #so i basically just stood there for like 2 secs and then picked back up on the next thing #i can’t tell if i’m overreacting or under reacting #i was standing backstage like okay mandy channel ur inner natalia #NAT WOULD NEVERRRR

[astaraels]

Ian/Mickey and Mandy/Svet honestly need a double date where the four of them sit around a table and smoke while they play cards and talk about the best options for body disposal (Ian has the least practice with this ofc but he and his brothers have tossed Frank out enough that he's at least proficient in defenestration by now)

#I have a vision okay and that vision says this group would be the best thing ever #ian gallagher #mandy milkovich #mickey milkovich #svetlana yevgenivna

MANDY????

Thank you for asking, fellow connoisseur of Panos Cosmatos' artistic triumph!!! 🪚😌

This AU involves Eddie and Rick as humble drug dealers among the truck stops of Oregonian highways to whom words reach of a scary new band of motorcycle freaks driving in the dark who peddle something out of this world...meanwhile Chrissy and Jason are in a sex cult under the helm of JCB-era Henry Creel, who's in the market for some new psychedelics to help his favorite girl reach apotheosis

This features lots of creature feature S&M in the aesthetic vein of Hellraiser, Jason as fuck toy/attack dog, the flamethrower guitar from Fury Road, and a scene where Eddie takes off his helmet for the first time in a stolen moment with the pretty girl in the long white dress...

The opening paragraph:

The girl he liked at the truck stop had broken her left foot at some point in the past and now had a knot of bone in the center of her instep. After making the rounds at the back of the showers and the bottom of the shallow hill where the truckers smoked, the cherries of their cigarettes glowing pink in the warm pitch dark, he’d pick her up from her post at the very edge of the gas station glow and drive the Shadow a hundred feet down the road, her holding his waist very tight from behind, and pay the man at the front desk in cash for a room whereupon Eddie would kiss every inch of her from the knees down, nuzzle her ancient injury, and eat her pussy from his perch on the floor. She was a tough girl but ticklish in sweetly classic places like the bottoms of her feet and the nips of her waist. He bought her powder cappuccinos from the vending machine and routinely sold her quaaludes at something like a sixty percent loss. Long ago she’d said to call her Emberly.

debbie is the only character in the entire series who never looked down on svetlana for her work or called her by some derogatory name

#obviously only counting characters who actually spoke of svetlana #fiona ian mickey mandy kev and v all had some shit to say at one point or another #but debbie only ever had nice things to say about svetlana #and was the only one who always saw her as an actual person #i don’t think it’s a coincidence that svetlana took a liking to her #svetlana is extremely perceptive and aware of the way that people see her #it would not have been lost on her that debbie always respected her and didn’t reduce her to ‘russian handwhore’ #i’d like to think they keep in touch post series #shameless #svetlana yevgenivna #debbie gallagher #shameless text

soooo many of the characters in shameless (particularly the female characters) are villainized and judged for their actions as teenagers as if they should’ve had the emotional maturity and decision making capabilities of grown adults when they were literal kids

#it’s possible to acknowledge the shit they did while also understanding that they were kids that were products of their environments #u can hold them to a different standard in the later seasons fine #but people need to stop acting like a 15 yr old should’ve acted with the emotional maturity of a 35 yr old #shameless #now that i think about it u cud say this for most things that have teens as protagonists #Debbie Gallagher #mandy milkovich #Mickey Milkovich #there’s more

Thinking about how painful it would be to finally be with Law physically, to finally be able to give him everything you have - your heart and soul -

Only for him to call you into his office a few days later and say, "... that was a mistake."

EDIT;

... I did it.

#mandie says a thing #i had a bad nightmare last night so im taking it out on Law #sorry baby i love you 🥺💖💖 #angst #Trafalgar Law #thinkin abt writing it 👀

I know I say this every time I read my own work, but Speak for the Dead really is the best chapter in ILM.

“Well, you know for the first time in a long time this actually feels like fall?”

Jane Romero was smiling at him, sitting propped up against a tree in what had sort of become her usual ‘therapy’ corner in the past almost two weeks. And she was right, it did feel like fall. The air wasn’t as sharply cold as normal, and honestly ‘sharply’ cold was a nice break in and of itself when it happened—usually the weather here was somehow just cold—cold with no adjectives attached. But today it was nicer. It was the kind of waiting fall cold that came when it wasn’t biting outside yet, and it was almost pleasant. A promise of a change in the seasons. Tapp wondered why.

The trees hadn’t started to change color with it, or fall in piles, and as far as he’d gathered there weren’t seasons in here. Everything looked the same. Tall, thick woods, undergrowth and moss and rocks and fallen logs, a slight breeze on and off. Dark sky overhead, full moon, at this point long since throwing off everyone’s idea of what day and night were supposed to mean. All the usual. Except, somehow, the kind of cold in the weather. Who knew, maybe nothing had changed. Maybe they had just started to feel better.

LIKE. Those opening lines mean nothing but environmental flavor when you read them. But they’re a lead in for the thesis of the entire chapter.

“Well, you know for the first time in a long time this actually feels like fall?” - A promise of a change in the seasons. - Who knew, maybe nothing had changed. Maybe they had just started to feel better.

Like that’s it. Speak for the Dead is about a lot of things, but at its heart it’s about healing. It’s about forgiveness and healing, that exists between the living and the dead. It’s about how you can only speak for them, by speaking for them. Not how you want to punish yourself or live for them, but by how you know they would forgive you, or would ask you to live. Very little other than exchanges of information happen, but so much happens at the same time. All of it significant. It’s hope. It’s about how Tapp (and Meg) have spent every day here fighting in their own way to cope with the agony and failure of their lives, and the loss of people they couldn’t save, and have only dug their wounds deeper. About love. About nothing stoping the lambs from screaming except accepting that they want to let you go.

#god I love this chapter so much. literally I can start reading ANY part of it and get hooked. Me every time I re-read the one time in my #life I hit script perfection for an entire chapter straight: 💕💕💕💕💕 #in living memory #in living memory (fic) #Speak for the Dead #I’ll never write something that good again maybe and that’s ok. perfection is perfection god I love that chapter #there so much said and so much unsaid. the way he buries Mandy. Adam trying to help. the fact literally never after in the story /does/ Meg #find out that she almsot died in a Jigsaw trap because she was judged for cutting? never. not post fic either. Ace and Tapp silently both #decide to never tell and she /never/ has to know. the way Meg asks if Michael knew Tapp loved him more than the job and that question is #not answered. she just says ‘he loved you’ and accepts that as a more significant one. the whole Jane discussiom. the way Tapp says ‘yes’ #/only/ to ‘did it haunt you?’ when asked serious questions and usually just says ‘I don’t know’ if it’s probably true? the way he talks #about himself? the Saw references??? the dead people’s actions existing like ghosts in the script helping charcaters on a meta textual level #bc I only wrote Tapp surviving with a pen tracheotomy bc Peter Strahm did it? the The Silence of the Lambs thing? #all the ethical discussions that are so conceptual and simultaneously concrete in different ways. even the ethics are the dead and the #living mixing together. the way Tapp’s argument the only thing you can do for the dead is to finish their story for them-to do what they’d #been trying to do—doesn’t change? just what that means to him does. the way the entirety of In Living Memory itself is Philip finishing #Vigo’s story because Vigo is dead? and ILM literally /is/ Vigo’s ghost in the void chronicling these events to watch over and to tell this #story about how Philip is a good man. in which he is fulfilling Philip’s goals for him when Philip no longer can. the entire book is about #love and loss and no chapter in as deep a way as Speak for the Dead captures that on such a literal level #the book is the living speaking for the dead. and the dead speaking for the living. & a hope from that. a promise of a change in the seasons #literally. when they make it in V.S. from the eternal october. to finally November.

The people who write fics where Dennis has a good relationship with Brain Jr are woobifying him way more then the people who write about fucking him in the ass until he cries and I will stand by this

#woobifying him is not a bad thing btw #I love to woobify the bastard #I'm just saying #why are there so many fics where he has regular calls and visits with Brain Jr. You really think this man is a good father? #You think he had a nice chat with Mandy about his feelings and they worked out a custody agreement like adults? #nah
