inej is such a fascinating character because in any other crow's pov she's so austere and cool. very practical and to the point and she delivers the facts, let them be good or unfavourable, ruthlessly. you can see clearly why she would be a perfect partner to kaz, why people are intimidated by her despite her small stature. and when you're in her pov, she's constantly worrying about someone, keeping her hope and humaneness alive, trying to carve out some semblance of humanity from kaz, empathising with nina and jesper and just so full of care and thoughtfulness toward her companions. like kaz, she doesn't really trust anyone, but contrary to kaz, she wants to. she wants to trust and wants to believe and that is why she is such a powerful beacon of hope in the midst of the barrel filth. she serves as a reminder to kaz that you can choose differently. horrible things can happen to you but you don't have to become the monster to overcome your trauma
Thank you so much for the kind words @chessman-protocol.
I happily take your tears, add them to my collection and then I will drink them for breakfast.
*sounds of mad cackling can be heard*
And this is what I mean by, part 2, my dear. Enjoy~
Also tagging the incredibly talented @doreen090 because this is her favorite song and she was the person who inspired me to try editing in the first place.
Good morning! I saw a TikTok of someone styling their graphic tees to wear at work so I decided to try it out today 😉 I love me a good graphic tee and slacks moment hehe
well you see before I can start writing lore for my oc, I need to come up with a name for this other oc that's just part of their background, and to do that I need to research the political history of taiwan, the various systems of romanizing the chinese language family, immigration demographics across east and southeast asia, the naming customs and laws of multiple countries, non-fatal casualties of the vietnam war, and lgbt history in the philippines. what was I doing again? hey did you know that may 23rd is world turtle day?
i see her having all types of fun, eyebrow raising tattoos (mostly ones she saw on pinterest that her friend with a tattoo gun was willing to do for a questionable price, but she’s nineteen and very much lives by “no regrets”)
something that frustrated me and lok is that kya and bumi, when talking with tenzin made it seem like aang didnt want to share his culture with either of them
like, i can believe the favoritism, unfortunately i know first hand that parents can be super obvious about it, but i just don't believe that aang wouldn't want to share his NEARLY EXTINCT culture with ALL his kids! like yeah they couldn't do ALL of it bc they werent airbenders, but they had air nomad blood and i think that would MEAN something to aang
like idk, i think the favoritism resentment could have been written better, i believe in it, but it felt less believable than it could have been idk
her reclamation, your dirtied hands, a ctommy poem - you no longer see through her eyes but you will watch and watch and watch her until your eyes roll out of your skull and into her open mouth, and you'll be glad to be home again.
Went to an antique shop today to buy a big overstuffed reading chair for my little library/office and it's the first time I've ever seen a saleslady haggle with herself. She was inspecting it for any possible imperfection and knocking off percentages left and right.
I left feeling like I committed highway robbery even though I did not participate in this debate at all and would have paid sticker.
(She also said "We need this chair GONE" so time will tell if it turns out to be haunted or something)
One thing about me is i will not text first unless I absolutely have to. Idc how many times you say “you’re not bothering me.” Or “you’re not annoying me.” I STILL FEEL LIKE I AM😭
