I saw a post about Ed’s red silk and what it represents and I’ve decided to share my thoughts here to avoid stepping on any toes.

Ed’s red silk once represented his dream of joining the aristocracy. But that dream died after the party on the boat. It literally went down in flames. Ed then understood what Stede had been warning him about for the entire episode. That there was nothing good for him there. Now the silk was just a tatty old thing.

But when Stede folded that silk, placed it by Ed’s heart, and reassured him, the silk was transformed by Stede giving him the acceptance and gentleness that he had never received before.

Ed had a new dream, or more accurately, realized what he really wanted all along. He wanted to believe he was deserving of good things. Love, gentleness, safety, and yes, material comforts.

The “fine thing” Stede was referring to WAS Ed’s heart and everything it desired, open and available for all to see.

When Ed let it go, what he was letting go of was the idea that he deserved any of those things. That he was worthy or capable of any love at all.

The special nightly torments of my mind at 2 AM on 12/28/22 (I.e., tonight’s Kokobot posts):

1. Work: I can’t get past the powerful feeling that I am terrible at my job. I’ve felt this in most jobs, but now it’s particularly acute because I really like the people I work with and think the work itself matters. I feel I’m letting everyone down and I don’t deserve to be where I am. I stay up late scrambling to finish everything and then end up being worse bc I’m so exhausted and can’t keep work and the rest of my life/identity separate.

2. Friendship: I had a close friend of 2 years who ghosted me, with no explanation, for nearly 3 months. Last month, they reached out to me and came to give me a long, in-person apology that really made me hope things would change. They explained it had to do with their own avoidant attachment style tendencies and family trauma, and I understood. We made up that night, but we haven’t had a conversation since then, despite my multiple attempts to schedule hangs/phone calls with them. They just never pick up when I call at the confirmed time, and haven’t texted me back for over a week. It’s like I stopped existing to them again. I think it might be time to grieve this friendship and move on, but it hurts to be treated like this by someone who has at times made me feel uniquely seen and loved.

3. Dating: I feel I never love people enough to grow with them. I only ever have enough to buy each of us some time and comfort before we inevitably self-destruct on our own schedules. I shut down and walk out when things get hard, then we both fall apart— often to the point of suicidality. My ex wants to get back together but I don’t want to go through this cycle again. But am I actually repeating the cycle by running away from giving it a real chance? She was a great girlfriend, and continues to be someone I love and deeply admire. I just didn’t love her as much as she loved me, and I felt it was unfair to her.

Super secret spy\assassin whatever

MC lives in backwaters Alaska, very off grid, with their uncle. One day they both get a frantic call from MC’s cousin, uncle’s daughter, from where she works in New York. She says that she is sure she is being followed and watched but the police won’t do anything about it citing lack of evidence. MC’s uncle asks her what she wants to do about it. He makes the point that he can come pick her up but she responds that she is just going to go directly to them in Alaska. They both finalize this decision and that her main transport will be plain but this won’t be feasible the entire way there.

Time pases and now the cosine is missing. Lost somewhere on her trip home. Uncle files a missing person report and goes looking for her, sending regular updates to MC. Eventually, Uncle calls MC implying something bigger is going on and giving his current location and the last known location of cosine before something happens and the Uncle is later found dead.

Thus, MC goes looking for Uncle’s killer and cosine, starting the story off.

Honestly, besides this I have no direction for the story or character. Can be any gender or race or never have them explicitly stated. It’s all a really basic, cliche starting point.

MC parents are out of the picture for some reason and the Uncle is mabey a retired detective or government/army figure, mgs style. He didn’t know about secret conspiracy or whatever until Cosine went missing but def has the skills to start an investigation without police help.

I hc the MC being sorta shy/ timid or at least socially awkward in the beginning. They are proficient at hunting and tracking from doing so with Uncle. Ideal growth is that they at least gain proficiency in pretending to have people skills, in the “if you're confident then no one can really say you’re doing it wrong” way. 

I might continue with this or repurpose it. Who knows.

Do you have any angst drawing of Wally from Welcome Home?

Surprisingly.. despite having a lot of angst in mind for Wally, I haven't actually have drawn much of it.. :0 I mostly focused my energy on Julie and Eddie angst-

But looking through my doodle dumps, I found these really old sketches of some angst concepts I had for Wally,

My idea for Wally is that his house is some kind of living entity. And its intentions with Wally are.. questionable.

Wally doesn't know his home is alive. Nor does he suspect anything to be amiss with the house itself.. But he has a lot of trouble sleeping at night. Constantly waking up full of anxiety.. Feeling something is watching him..

The only person Wally really finds comfort in/opens up to is Barnaby. He tells him all about his strange anxiety and sleeping problems.. in which Barnaby will frequently spend the night at Wally's place to help him feel more safe. Which usually helps..

Sometime I'd like to go into more depth about these ideas and actually redo some of these drawings. The figure in the window is an outdated concept <XD Maybe someday I'll come back around to Wally and his strange home.. 👀👀

MDZS Height Poll: Who is (technically) the tallest character. Please remember that these polls are for fun!

#mdzs #poll #Please remember that I WILL see notes and comments and reblogs. Let's have fun with this clearly very silly poll! #I am begging everyone to be nice. We can get icecream afterwards if we all behave. #Propaganda is welcome if you dare take up the bat to swing at the hornet's nest. #As always - I will have a little comic at the end of this poll based on the results!!! #I'm so tempted to sway votes but the beauty is in the community response. You guys always surprise me! #Will the winner be based on technicality? WHO'S technicality? So many choices! #NHS and JGY are a big mood for being 'tall' but labeled short due to being surrounded by 'very tall' people. #Shout out to my little cousin who's a natural 6'1"and STILL wears the 6 inch heels. That's feminism. #I wanted to have the next poll be 'who's in the middle of the bed in the 3zun relationship' but I need to draw for that one. #it's been a rough week for me. Comic resumes tomorrow though - I just have not been home to upload anything via scanner. #I'm alright I promise B'*) Just a chaotic lifestyle. Hope you have all been well <3

Ever drawn Eddie and Frank getting married? 💐🤵💍💐

And what do you think of @chez-cinnamon 's WH AU of Eddie, Frank & Howdy's poly relationship? ✨😃✨

I haven’t drawn a Frankly-Dear wedding picture yet. I’ll need some kind of inspiration, like some super cute outfits for each of them, or a funny photo to reference. If I do draw them getting married I’ll definitely post it!

The poly ship of Eddie, Frank, and Howdy is super cute. I absolutely adore how @ /chez-cinnamon draws them and the entire cast for that matter! I also really like the idea of Eddie and Frank both crushing on Howdy, and Frank being interested in Howdy’s buggy-ness. Really as long as Eddie and Frank are happy together I am happy haha!

Oh! Here’s an unrelated doodle:
