The Gift of Saying Sorry
How one word may not undo the hurt but can help in the healing process. Mystery tells a dark tale of pride. Foolish pride blinds one to see the beauty of forgiveness: to forgive oneself and then others. Paint a home with foolish pride in just a matter of time everything will be in shambles just as harmony is a beautiful Cadillac ride on a road paved with happiness until an overcast of foolish…

Football player selflessly gives up scholarship for teammate who donated plasma to afford school
A football player donated plasma to afford school and pay the bills. Now, he no longer has to do it; thanks to a teammate who gave up his scholarship for him. Zach Conti has been juggling multiple jobs for four years so he could go to school. To get by and pay the bills, he had to sell his plasma, something he wouldn’t have to do if he had a scholarship. Unfortunately, Eastern Michigan University…

The moment Vil fell in love with you, was one of the most vulnerable moments he had ever experienced. It was something that had caught him completely unawares, and never thought he'd fall for someone, much less the prefect of ramshackle.
Spoilers for the end of book 6, if you have not gotten that far.
The ride back to NRC from the island of woe was an exhausting one, to say the least. Everyone was groaning in mild annoyance at Vils sobbing at his now olden state, a wrinkled face with sunken cheeks and grey hair...something he feared more than anything in the world. Nobody actually blamed him, though, for anybody else would react as strongly to see their youth stripped away without even the hint of getting back their original form. Ugly, old, and gross, are all words Vil would go on to describe himself. You felt pity for him of course, but you were just as exhausted as everyone else.
Vil watched you in surprise as you stood up in a sleepy haze, wobbling to the (now) old man and cupping his sunken cheeks into your lively hands.
"Vil," You said sternly, the suddenness of your actions causing him to bite back his sobs for merely a moment.
"What you did for us today," You said with confidence in your tired eyes, "Was the most heroic thing I have ever seen. That was the bravest, most selfless act you could have possibly done, and I truly admire you for it, Vil." Your stern eyes softened with a smile mixed with pity and admiration, unconciously stroking his cheek with your thumb in attempt to sooth his trembling figure.
"We will find a way to get your body back. I understand this is a lot, but you need to hold onto faith." Your hands squished his cheeks together in a teasing and playful manner, purposefully causing him unable to respond verbally. Vil simply nodded, and you continued with passion raising your tone of voice.
"Right now, in my eyes, you are the most beautiful person with the biggest heart of gold I've ever met." You leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss on his cheek, something that drew him back with widened eyes. "Now, you must be incredibly tired from all the fighting we did. Try and rest, okay? You need it." He wanted to tell himself you were simply feeding him words of comfort in order to cease his persistent whining, yet with such confidence dripping with every word and small gesture you had no reason for engaging in, that was how he knew you were genuine.
How could you be so willing to kiss him when he looks like...that? How can you call him beautiful when all he sees are wrinkled hands and spotty skin? The word "heroic" also stuck out to him. Years of being played the villain, always unable to make it to the end of a movie, being discarded as the "bad guy," yet here you were, calling him...your hero. His heart skipped a beat and he could feel heat rise to his cheeks. There's no way you of all people could make him feel so...conflicted.
Yet there you were, with stringy sweaty hair, scratches, bruises, mud riddling your skin from hours of fighting for the world. He noticed how his dorm outfit lay in tatters on your body, and bags under your eyes were apparent as you so shamelessly yawned and sat next to him, falling asleep as you leaned up against his shoulder. This was the brazen prefect of Ramshackle- someone with flaws, attitude, and a disastrous display.
Yet at this moment, all he could think about was just how beautiful you looked, too.

enki dies of smoke inhalation in his sleep because he's using his left lung as extra parasite storage to get a +1 on his needle worm damage. moonless is fine she will probably eat him when she wakes up. 👍

this moment will never fail to make me feral bc he gave up!!! till, the boy who rebels even when all it does is get him hurt, the one who burns as brightly as the stars in the sky, the flame that lasted for almost two decades finally gave up!!! he snuffed out!! he closed him eyes and stopped fighting!! do you understand how devastating that is??
especially to ivan who idolizes and adores him for it?? who has only ever known till for his never-ending love and will that never falters? to see the man he loves broken down like this—a hurt that extends far beyond that of the physical body but to his soul— must’ve been terrible
and you can see it
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ivan’s crumpling too. his mental state is on the verge of snapping too. his shoulders are dropped and his eyes are bloodshot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
till’s given up and ivan can see it and as his hands tighten around the other’s neck, a voice whispers what if you don’t let go?
because that’s what till wants right? he isn’t going to win against luka like this. he wants to die and no matter what ivan does, it’s not going to change that. so why not kill him?
that way they can die together.
wouldn’t that be wonderful?
ivan has always had a great potential for darkness and he holds it back most of the time, rarely ever letting it come to the surface. it wouldn’t be far off to assume this was one of those moments, where emotions are high and last minute regrets and wishes are surging forth—it isn’t far off to think there was a small part of him that was seriously contemplating throwing away his decision to sacrifice himself alone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
but then he gets shot in the chest, through the lungs, and the pain snaps him out of it. because this is it. this is the end. and he remembers why he’s doing this.
he remembers his desire to save till despite how foolish as it may be, how hypocritical it may be. the light reappears in his eyes and it’s ivan in love again. it’s ivan swelling with pure love, looking at till for last time.
it’s ivan doing the one thing he’s never been able to do:
it’s ivan letting go

so bf of taigen to recover from life threatening wounds, just so he can hike all the way to kohama village from master eiji’s forge, buy the best food you can possibly find there, hike all the way back, and then proceed to promptly plop said food right in front of mizu and watch her eat all of it. dosen’t even blink. those dumplings are a childhood nostalgia food for him and he did not eat a single one. literally recovered from his injuries just enough to leave on his own, solely so he could go get food for mizu, and only for mizu. he didn’t get dumplings for anyone else, not even himself. he hates kohama, but he’ll go walk straight into the village centre that smells like the fish on his dad’s fists, just to purchase the only good thing from his childhood in that place, proceed to enjoy none of it, and offer it all to mizu with absolutely no expectations.

"I don't want a throne! I never wanted a throne!"
"I want my friends..."
And yet, in the end, all he got was a throne isolated at the end of time. Where no one he loved could ever go.

we’ve all seen arranged marriage russingon aus but how about a “both of them desperately try to talk their fathers into arranging that specific marriage while their fathers insist that of course they’d never trade their children’s ability to make a lovematch for the sake of politics” au
(bonus points if the conflict is mended by feanor and fingolfin separately deciding that it’s gone too far if their eldest sons feel the need to sacrifice themselves over it while our main couple remains tragically and selfishly blueballed)

*grabs your shoulders* look at me. it was never about the minivan, nor the purse, nor the plushy. it was about the thrill shauna gets from having control in cases where not having control is expected, is normal. she took the gun (control where it is not expected) and jeff took it from her (her control shatters). she found control in the wilderness (again, where it is not expected) and upon them being ‘rescued’, it got taken from her again (again, control shatters). it is not and has never been about the minivan, it is about the uncommon control that comes with getting it back; to shake from pure excitement (almost an erotic excitement, with the way her breath started hitching) while holding a man under gunpoint because she is in full control.

there is truly a strange disconnect between some astarion fans and not recognizing his most basic trait as being a sponge for attention.

Someone mentioned Steve having wings and hiding them and I know that wouldn’t work BUT what if Steve was born with wings and the Harrington’s had them cut off when he was a baby, so Steve learns a lot about it and is obviously in love with Eddie and he takes care of Eddie’s wings and it’s like,, therapeutic for him since he’ll never be able to take care of his own
that would be barbaric and honestly i think he'd be taken away from his parents the second someone sees him without a shirt, to cut a persons wings off would probably eventually drive them insane, as they'd have the flight instinct but be unable to do it.
would be like a bird constantly trapped in a cage. a bird has to be given the option for free flight or they go nuts.
an tbh, i think the Harringtons would THRIVE on the prestige that'd come from their child having wings, it's not a bad thing to have them, kids are just. mean. when something is uncommon and different to their norm, but the Harringtons, if he did have wings? He'd have THEE MOST BEAUTIFUL of wings, a soft white dusted with golden brown, the most beautiful in the entirety of Hawkins, and Eddie would probably call him a pampered poofball, all the while quietly jealous cause why cant his wings be that pretty?

always and forever gonna stand on the hill that every mischaracterization of mike comes from doubting his ability to love and care for others completely selflessly and by believing any of his actions are rooted in self gain and selfishness. to think mike is selfish, even unintentionally, is a fundamental misunderstanding of his goals and motives as a person
