"As a rookie it is very very impressive what he has done. He has shown his talent to the whole world. And now I guess it is a matter of time before he gets with us in formula 1."
YOU THERE, SQUIRE! YOU SAID TO SEND ART REQUESTS! may i perhaps humbly ask for an Ollie...or a Prince Leon bc he's one of my favorite side characters..
I cannot believe I’m arguing with the most idiotic ecofascist bullshit today:
Me: Serviceberries are delicious! Plant more of them! Eat them!
Some white lady on Facebook: ~what about the birds??? What will THEY eat??????~
….
Listen, the myth that the Americas were some ~untouched wilderness~ is not just bullshit it is DESTRUCTIVE bullshit. In 1491, the Americas were a garden. These food forests were actively cultivated, just bc they look different than European agriculture does not in anyway make them less valid. Like, ok Yes, if you live in some suburban hellscape that’s been turned into HOA-enforced lawns, SURE, leave the berries for the birds. But to demand that be the rule for everyone, everywhere?? Fuck that. Last year the serviceberry crop was so bountiful they literally rotted in clusters like grapes on the vine. ~what about the birds~ THE BIRDS WERE DRUNK ON THE GROUND, KAREN! FAT AND ROUND! My woods turn white in the spring bc there are so many serviceberry trees. Right now the hazelnuts are flowering their little peener catkins as far as the eye can see, and because nothing has leafed out yet, THATS FAR!
Kill your lawn. Plant berries and fruit trees. EAT THEM!
uh how come there's 558 rexwalker fics in the Rex tag. but then there's actually 584 rexwalker fics overall. yall forgetting to put rex in the rex fics??
This panel from chapter 51.5 is haunting me nonstop
We clearly see that something happened to the town/village he is from (or a neighbouring one, still unclear).
(And damn he looks so small in his big fluffy wintercoat, I want to wrap him up and coddle him and protect him from everything bad)
and he was already considered someone dependable, even at such a young age. They came to him for help!
Did they only came to him because he was the only available witch in this area? Or actually the most talented one? He is a prodigy after all, so he must have had a very good reputation already.
But with such a reputation come a lot of expectations as well.
An Olruggio is not happy, not at all. People died, for whatever reason (a coldspell? Not enough food?) and he blames himself that he couldn´t do more.
No matter that he was just a child, prodigy or not.
But this moment in his life made him into someone who wants to help as much as he can - creating a workaholic par excellence. So he can "make up" for the victimes of this disaster, to make sure he never fails anyone again.
That he is drawn from the back here is a clear sign how much it still troubles him but he doesn´t want anyone to see. This man struggles but puts his own worries aside ("They are not as important, others suffer more" etc.)
I wonder how often he actually dreams about his past still?
And then we come to this point: Olruggio goes outside and creates this famous, beautiful light-deers:
ofc everyone loves it and then we have this question from Coco:
"What is the purpose of this magic?"
And Olly responds:
What he is really saying here is that he needed a distraction. He is someone who can deal and sort out his feelings better if he has something to do. Here comes his adamant need to be helpful (making contraptions etc.) into it as well.
This time he is only drawing for himself though and because he is in turmoil from his nightmare he needs to be extra specific and detailed in his drawings.
He tries to channel his emotions into this drawing and look how beautiful it turned out! Even in sadness he creates beauty and comfort.
And he knows this. Look at that man, at these eyes full of emotions.
He is aware of his own feelings and why he did it - even if he doesn´t want to admit it to the kids.
major props to oliver for not trying a little harder to get with elspeth. i know i would and they’d probably kick me out of saltburn for it. like i don’t need the cock, felix, i need your mom !!!
tbh I’ll always be a little salty about the fact that there’s like 10 flagged and obvious parallels that frame Birdie as being a more sympathetic version of Liliana. and yet
can i interest you in some of my ryuu screenshots.. a bit of a ryuu appreciation post if you will...
his design is so .. simple n kinda basic but he has so much charm,, i'm endlessly charmed by him it's literally so embarrassing... he is just very endearing and cute 👉👈 what a polite young man
and here is me trying to get a clean screenshot of this pose without the dialogue box, a saga:
i'm sad to say that this saga has no real conclusion (yet...) the wind-up animation is long enough for him to start babbling so i'm doubtful i will ever capture the screenshot i want.
anyway i love this guy more than i could've ever prepared myself for 😭
