“As I went up the ranks I became a different person with each promotion. As a second lieutenant on Brady's crew, I was eager, unsure of myself, navigating by keeping my eyes on the plane up ahead. As a first lieutenanant on Blakely's crew I was still eager and unsure of myself, but I was in the plane up ahead. To do my job, I almost tore myself in two. Missions drained everything out of me that was in me. As a captain Group Navigator, I was still eager and unsure—no planes were in front of me, and the missions still took everything out of me. When I got out of a plane after a mission I was so exhausted I could hardly walk. I smelled so much of sweat I left my flying clothes outside my barracks to air.”

Harry Crosby in his memoir, A Wing and a Prayer

#Harry Crosby is exhausted #Harry Crosby needs a hug #baby boy is just so tired #I wanna give him a hug :( #let this boy get some sleep for once lol #Harry Crosby #mota musings #quote #a wing and a prayer #my poor boy #masters of the air #mota #happy new episode day btw (or is it happy? idk yet I’ll let you know after the new episode drops) #quotes

i'm a little sad at how sparse steddyhands and stizzy art and writing is on here now after the finale (thankfully, i am still digging through the couple thousand fics up on ao3 so i'm not totally bereft)

because during the airing of the season there was new stuff in the tags every day, sometimes even every few hours, but i think the finale really punched all of us in the face

there's lots of good stuff from before s2 to go digging through of course, and ao3 and twitter still have some new art and fic and memes if you go looking for it, but the difference from before and now seems a bit stark

don't misunderstand me, this isn't me being defeatist, just being a bit melancholy (and mad at the s2 finale tbh lol) about it. shout out to the regulars i see in the tags still making stuff and posting jokes, ya'll are doing the most and i wish you all the passion and motivation and time to create in the world <3

#obviously in this day and age ppl seem to drop fandom right away after the media in question is done so it's not totally unexpected #but the stark difference between so much new art being shared during airing vs the sudden quiet after the finale was. damn. #the izzy tag and regular fandom tags are still pretty active but i have a very specific love lol and it is #stizzy #steddyhands #gentlehands #even the ed and izzy tags are a little more active tho that's mostly because of the meta and angst enjoyers (mood) #anyway as soon as i'm done with finals and have some free time during the break i am going to draw so much old man yaoi #and maybe finally do more of and share my steddyhands mermaid au lol #also one more thing #if i'm sad about how much less steddyhands and stizzy stuff is happening #i am sending so many thoughts and prayers ™ to the frenchie and izzy and lucius and izzy shippers bc goddamn #they also got fucked over this season #we all thought we were winning and then suddenly we all got smacked in the face about it adfgfkj

i'll be cleaning up bottles with you on new year's day

“Last night - when the clock struck midnight,” Buck began, taking a steadying breath. “Chimney teased that you and I were the only two in the room who didn’t have someone to kiss at midnight.”

Eddie barely held back an eye roll as he remembered Chim’s words. Their friend was hardly known for his subtlety. “Yeah, I remember.”

As they clean up from Eddie's New Year's Eve party, Buck and Eddie have a conversation about resolutions, honesty, and who they want to ring in the New Year with.

ao3 link

It was silly, really, Eddie knew, but he had always liked the idea behind the New Year. It’s not as though every year, he managed to wipe the slate clean, and start over as a newer, better, fitter version of himself - but there was something about the end of a year, and the beginning of another, the raucous way that one year came to its conclusion, seen out by fireworks and celebrations and champagne - for better, or worse - and the quiet way the new year slipped in to existence, the prospect of a brand new, completely untouched year stretching on for a delicious 365 days ahead.

It was silly, Eddie knew, but it was a silly indulgence he allowed himself. Despite liking the New Year, his New Year’s hadn’t always started well - he’d been deployed, for a fair few of them, counting down to a new year with his squadron as they tried to make the best of their situation. Other years, he was with Shannon - he remembers happy new years, back at the beginning of their relationship, but that hadn’t lasted long. No, most of their new year celebrations had been tainted with fights, and arguments, cold shoulders and a relationship that had never been built to last crumbling under pressure it was never going to be strong enough to stand up to.

Eddie had spent plenty of New Year’s Eve’s - and New Year’s Days - alone, Christopher in bed, and Eddie ringing in the new year by watching a rerun of the ball drop in New York, hoping, and wishing, and praying for a better year ahead - a year where he could provide a better life for his son, a year where he could be happier.

He was happier now.

Eddie could say that with a kind of confidence he couldn’t help but be proud of - happiness, as it turns out, had never been as clear cut as it had seemed when you were a child and happiness felt like it was directly associated with sunny days and ice-cream after dinner. No, no - happiness as an adult was infinitely more complicated, and Eddie had struggled to be really, truly happy, but he was getting there.

How could he not be getting there? Eddie had - well, he had the best kid in the world, and a job he loved, and he had done a whole lot of work this year on himself, accepting who he was - who he loved - and Eddie was leaving 2022 a happier man.

And he hadn’t spent this New Year’s Eve alone, either.

Eddie had never really had partying days - and really, he didn’t regret that, Eddie hated nightclubs and only really liked the quiet, hipster bars that Buck tended to find them, that served all sorts of IPAs and funky beers that had silly labels - but he’d hosted the 118 for a New Year’s Eve party last night. Nothing crazy, no - not when half the team had kids, and the other half were only stopping in before they headed out to a proper Hollywood party (“Don’t worry, Ravi,” Eddie shook his head, giving the younger man a soft smile: he didn’t know what it was like to be that kind of twenty-five year old, but he remembered what it was like to be a twenty-five year old with the weight of his world on his shoulders and he didn’t want Ravi to be that way) but a party all the same.

A party he was going to spend January 1st cleaning up from.

Eddie didn’t mind, really - a few streamers, and beer bottles, and leftover snacks, were a small price to pay for an evening with the family he had made for himself.

“Morning.”

Buck’s raspy, slightly hoarse voice drew Eddie’s attention to the kitchen doorway. He was wearing a borrowed hoodie, the arms slightly too short, and somehow, he had glitter in his hair, the blond curls messy after a night of tossing and turning on Eddie’s couch.

It was cute.

#yellowjackets #yellowjackets spoilers #yellowjackets meta #lottie matthews #shauna shipman #im too lazy to get a download of the new episodes or to gif this so this is what we get!!! but i feel CRAZY about it #bc also like. the implication of callie being equivalent to It #shauna begs to callie and lottie begs to Whatever She Begs To #callie as the emblem of shauna's future she is what she is pouring herself into but callie is also inextricably tied #to shauna's past. the daughter jackie should have had. another earthly presence that jackie is haunting #and lottie's whole thing being like. ive moved on from that now. im free now. im better now. #the past rising up to grab her in the place where she meant to make her future but which really is like. #a monument to her past in every possible way #also the idea of words and blood being equivalent sacrifices #shauna kills jackie with words. #also im thinking about like within the torah how when they transition from the temple days to the rabbinic era #how prayer genuinely takes the place of what would have before been animal sacrifices #liturgy as bloodspilling.... it wants blood..... #callie wants blood as in she wants the fullness of her parenst she wants them to see her and trust her... #im spiralling!!! #SHAUNALOTTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrong #598

Faker/Hephaestion came home today

I think if he had the physical ability to do so, Angra would’ve actually hissed at her

(Maybe I should put her in a room and let Angra get used to her scent through the door…?)

#whathasangramainyudonewrong #angra mainyu #angry mango #fgo #hey so uh. I received some news today and I may not get to finishing any really cool art for day 600 like I planned #I’ll still do my best to make something fun but uh. yeah #good vibes/prayers appreciated

i don't normally read fluff but i wanted some comfort to distract me recently since i am sure i'm experiencing the growing pains associated with a wisdom tooth trying to break through the surface...

i guess you could say it was 'tooth growing' fluff not 'tooth rotting' 💀🦷

#fluff to grow your painful ass teeth to AAAA #everyone prayer circle it feels a bit better today #i've been doing salt water washes etc. #the main thing is it hurts to eat and i'm sad because it made my nye/new years day truly miserable #personal

#saw that time loop thing going around again where OP uses it to become proficient in a difficult skill #and it got me thinking about how i would use a time loop if it happened to me #and I think if i got stuck in a time loop I'd use it to figure out the most effective way to evangelize to different people #try a new approach on the same person every day until i find the one that clicks with them #and when i got out of the time loop just run around using those on the specific people...but also use what I learned on others #XD #but then it makes me wonder why i don't do that in my day to day life? #and i'm getting a little bit convicted #and there are people right now that i am actively trying to witness to #but at the same time...am i trying ENOUGH #and the answer is no #and i don't have the benefit of a time loop to get it perfect #so i guess i need prayers

[hotwaterandmilk]

I'm going to be away for a short break over the Easter long weekend. Don't expect much to be posted here as I haven't lined anything up and I'm not planning to hang around online while I'm away. Thanks for your patience, I'll be back and struggling with my regular life again soon!

In the meantime, I'm going to appreciate the 2nd TMMN ED song and sequence, definitely my favourite so far... they're all so cute ;o;

See you all soon!

#personal #i have some great stuff i'm planning to share at some point #but first i need a prayer circle for a new job #and a 3-day nap #because the rest of april is going to be hell #and this bitch needs a break

Today, I want to honor everything about myself. I want to cherish this day I'm being given, another day of luxuriant opportunity. I am deeply grateful for this day and this life. May this day be filled with bliss and peace. May I come across all the waves of life with acceptance, ease and grace. May this beautiful day bring connection and light and may the dark moments of this day be bearable. For we carry within us all the seeds, And we get to choose each day which of them to water and which to cultivate. So may this new day be full of ways to bloom.🌻✨

#prayer #good morning world #gratitude 🌻 #a new day #a new beginning #a new life #i am deeply grateful for this day and this life 🙏 #let this new day be filled with ways to flourish...🌺 #bloom yourself 🌸 #self love journey #cultivate habit of practicing presence
