Would I still believe in God if I had a father?

I beheaded all the men who said they loved me but they lied

One by one they fall from the pedestal

Right before my sovereign eye

And if I

I needed a father, I needed a brother

I needed some blood, I needed someone

#commander fox #is he dirty? is he bruised? are those shadows? take your pic #Idk what point in time this is #he’s in his Kamino clothes but he’s got his CG helmet #so take your pick #anyway never make me paint metal again #I actually don’t hate his hair which is a new feeling for me #I usually hate the way I draw hair #Spotify

The day Julien returned to France was much like any other.

Salt burned his lungs as he stood on the docks of Boston Harbor, sun struggling to find its way through the meager gaps in the cloud cover, and the snap of the canvas sails intermingled with the chatter of the crouds and the crashing waves into a pleasant drone. Julien clutched his bag tight, and watched a weather-beaten ship standing proud over the pier begin its long loading process.

“Enjoying the view?”

At first it was unclear that anyone was speaking to him in particular, but then Julien felt a gentle pinch at the fabric of his coat, and turned to see Judith Thornton standing beside him, unreadable expression on her face. The meager sunlight brought out thin veins of gold in her hair.

Julien sighed. “What are you doing here, cherie?”

“Well, when I woke up this morning, you were quite thoroughly disappeared from my home,” she replied, running her thumb over the embroidery on her sleeve hem, “and I wondered whereabouts you would have gone.” Grimacing, Judith at last turned to face him, cool blue eyes unyielding as steel. “It didn’t take long to find you.”

“Am I really that predictable?”

“You really are.”

Together, the two of them lapsed into a less than comfortable silence, watching the passersby with a calculated interestd. Well, Judith appeared to be watching the people; Julien was primarily watching her. He truly had not meant for her to know, had assumed it would have been easier to simply disappear. After all, she would be in far more trouble if he stayed, and he had duties elsewhere whose importance far superseded his affections for one woman and her as yet unborn son.

Of course, Judith had very quickly wedged her pretty satin shoe in the door of his plan, and here she was, glowering at the early morning sky. Curiously, her hand still found its way to Julien’s, and she clasped it gently, tapping his knuckles with gentle rhythm.

“Do you have to go?”

The question came completely expected, but Julien was still taken aback by the wave of shame that rose in his chest, battering his ribcage with a horrible insistence. There was no way he could reasonably be expected to stay, to raise a child with a woman whose husband had passed a man of honor, but still, a not insignificant part of him yearned to throw down his bags and carry Judith all the way back to her little shop on the square and fix her the breakfast she had clearly skipped to meet him here. Mystery would save her life, her reputation, but with the way she was looking at him, Julien knew he would never escape this woman cleanly. She had her hooks in him, and all he longed for was her tug on the wire.

“What would you have me do instead?” was all he had to say. Judith took a deep, shuddering breath, and squeezed his wrist.

“We never even gave him a name,” she murmured. Around them, the throngs were slowly funneling up the gangway, settling in for the journey ahead, and Julien’s pulse began to pound in his ears. There was so little time to choose, to explain everything he had never bothered to tell her, and now his ship out of Boston was getting ready to leave without him.

Whirling, Julien gripped Judith’s shoulders tightly, pristine fabric wrinkling under his gloved fingers.

“Promise me you will keep him safe,” he said insistently. “Raise him well.”

“What would you have me do instead?” Judith parroted, squirming under his grasp. “I am his mother, Julien, I cannot simply step away when the burden of a son is no longer convenient for me.” Her words rang like the peal of a bell, ricocheting throughout Julien’s body and echoing in perpetuity, and her fury was plain to all around.

“We both know this is for the best.”

“Have you considered I may not want the best anymore?” Chest heaving, Judith threw Julien’s arms off of her and stuck an accusatory finger to his chest. “I am sick of the best! My husband died, my sons have left me, and all I have left is you and this godforsaken shop!” She sniffed, swiping at her nose with a vicious fervor. “I have always had the best, but what if I want something for me?”

Julien stared. “My love, that will ruin you.”

“Do you think I am unaware?” Voice like ice, fire in her eyes, Judith pulled Julien into a vice-like embrace, mouth to his neck. “Stay with me, sweet. Please stay with me.”

With Judith’s heart hammering against his chest, breath ghosting over his neck, Julien wondered if he would ever find the strength to leave. He placed a feather-light hand against her back, looking out over the ocean, knowing how far they would drift, unsure how to leave, yet unable to remain.

“Je suis désolé,” he whispered, pressing a kiss to her temple. “Merci, ma petite chou-fleur.”

“What?”

But before Julien could lose himself in her face, lovely though streaked with tears, he snatched his bag off the docks and bolted toward the ship, every step of his boots against the wood a gunshot to his ears. Judith’s shrieking was almost lost to the noise of the crowd. And still, still, Julien refused to look back.

Only when they had lifted anchor and were well on their way did Julien face the pier, scanning for Judith in the crowd. He expected her to be furious, if she had even remained at all, but when he found her again, she bore nothing but a soft, mournful smile, waving a handkerchief he vaguely recognized as his own in the breeze.

Something awful was building in his stomach, clawing its way into his throat, longing to escape.

“Ma lune!” he found himself calling over the roar of the waves. “My father’s name was Jeremiah!”

Although it was highly unlikely Judith had heard him, she nodded nonetheless, and turned on her heel, disappearing into the sea of bodies cloaked in fine fabrics milling about, and grieving just the same.

“Promise me you will write!” Julien cried once more, but she was already gone, leaving him with nothing but the bitter sting of salt.

everyone makes fun of soap when they find out how many hair and skin products he keeps on hand. the cabinet in his bathroom is filled to bursting and he always keeps travel sized bottles on him on missions

when soldiers outside the 141 find out, they call him precious and self-obsessed, a vain pretty boy too preoccupied with his reflection to focus on the enemy. no wonder how he got his callsign. price has given up telling him to leave them on base and just teaches him to individually wrap them so they don’t rattle against each other and give himself away

what they don’t know is that each product contains an ingredient that when mixed with any number of the others, creates potent chemical bombs. he was caught unarmed once, he won’t let it happen again

#ghost picks it up when he watches him meticulously read the ingredients lists on the bottles when he goes shopping with him once #he knows enough about products to know that when you find one that works you keep using it #so hes confused when he sees soap put back a moisturiser hes certain hes seen in his little bag #he waits for him to leave the aisle and checks the bottle #which is when he sees the new and improved formula sticker on the back #he memorises the ingredients and when he checks the bottle in soaps room sure enough theres an ingredient missing #thats when he puts it together #it seems his little intro into guerrilla warfare had sparked some ideas in his sergeant #and hes so damn proud it takes him off guard for a second #he hadnt expected him to keep up with it not when hed rarely need the knowledge #but he is and hes doing it all on his own using his own expertise and forethought #the pride has to make room for a difference kind of warmth at the sheer competency on display in front of him #the next day he drops a new product with the missing ingredient on soaps head #the soldiers around them are shocked that hed indulge in soaps prissiness #hes the only that that sees the feral glint in soaps eye as he thanks him and starts going on about the benefits of looking after your skin #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #ghost x soap #soapghost #ghostsoap #ghost mw2 #cod ghost #cod soap #soap mw2 #soap mactavish #cod mwii #call of duty #we’re a team. ghost team

Hazel posts a tiktok that starts with a view of Steve folding laundry.

Hazel: Pop

Steve, looking warily at the camera: What?

Hazel: If you and Dad got divorced–

Steve: Oh, come on, Haze.

Hazel: No-no-no-no, just hear me out.

Hazel: If you and Dad got divorced, how long would it take for me and Moe and Robbie to Parent Trap you back together.

Steve: *very long pause as he clearly considers the question*

Steve: Why did we get divorced?

Hazel: A dumb reason, like in the movie.

Steve: So how long has it been since we last saw each other?

Hazel: Well...no. It's not a shot-for-shot remake of the movie. You'd probably be, like, co-parenting or whatever.

Steve: How long have we been divorced?

Hazel: A long time. Since I was a baby.

Steve: *another pause*

Steve: Yeah, that...makes sense.

Hazel: Okay, don't be rude.

Steve: Who’s dating someone else?

Hazel: What?

Steve: The dad in the movie is dating someone else. So which one of us is the one dating somebody?

Hazel: Oh. I don’t know.

Steve: I bet it’d be your dad. You know what – you wouldn’t need to Parent Trap us because I’d already be trying to get back together with him on my own out of spite.

Hazel: Oh-kay we might need a part 2.

#Steve is Invested In The Conversation #steve: wait so am i dennis quaid or natasha richardson? #hazel: ……dad’s not cool enough to be either of them so you can take your pick #steddie #liv’s steddie dads verse #steddie dads #steve harrington #eddie munson #hazel's tiktok page

Mrs. Bennet being like, "Look, I've got five daughters, take your pick. It's better to have a little selection. We've got Super Hot and Modest, not your taste? How about... *sigh* Pretty and Kind of Mouthy? Next is the Most Accomplished Girl in Meryton, then um... Kitty, and lastly, the Most Lively Girl You'll Ever Meet. Honestly, if one of them doesn't suit you, in my opinion, the problem isn't my daughters."

one of the funniest things is during all nine episodes luffy did not actively have one single plan except "become the worlds greatest pirate and find the one piece". he spent at max a month? less? at sea and everything he accomplished (taking down FOUR feared pirates in like a week, stealing the grand line map, finding a faithful and loyal crew, getting a bounty of 30 million on his head, etc) was mostly by accident. he stumbles into trouble and then proceeds to become the trouble

#one piece #opla #one piece live action #one of ur men pick up a barrel in a raid and a manic stowaway convinces ur henchman to turn against you and then destroys your ship. some k #you want the grand line map so u kidnap this kid and he takes ur dismembered body parts and traps them in trunks and scares ur crew off #u spend a decade running a long con to get all the money from a ship yard and this rando shows up on the night of your big plan and foils it #literally sends u packing by flinging u out a window #ur a feared warlord fish man but ur pet cartographer just happens to be friends with the one person willing and capable to destroy #everything you have. His friends kill all ur men. turns ur base into ruble #and he walks away without a scratch #luffy doesn’t have problems he’s everyone else’s problem lmaooo

shoes in FMA rated on how comfortable they'd be to fight in

Edward Elric

considering Ed's uhhh very distinct taste in aesthetics, these could be a lot worse. they look relatively comfortable and don't seem like they'd be difficult to move around in. they are platforms though, which I imagine makes things more difficult. I'll be generous and give these a 7/10

Most of the Amestrian military

pretty much everyone in uniform wears the same shoes, so I'm lumping them all together. these are Roy's, if that matters. they look fine. I imagine that because it is part of a military uniform, it's designed to be moved around in and worn for hours on end, so ideally they're relatively comfortable. it doesn't look like there's much traction, but they're usually fighting on flat surfaces so whatever. 8/10

Fu and Lan Fan

these shoes fucking rule. the picture I've included is Lan Fan's, but they wear p much the same shoes. I fucking love these things. they have spikes. Edward Elric fucking wishes. considering this seems to be part of the bodyguard uniform, I'd imagine they're as easy to run around in as the military shoes, if not better since they're expected to be doing martial arts in them. but most importantly, they have spikes. 10/10, no notes.

Ling and Mei

on the topic of doing martial arts, both Ling and Mei wear these.... I'm not sure what they are. flats? slippers? it's unclear. (EDIT: they are apparently Kung Fu shoes!) they seem relatively easy to move around in I guess since they're not very cumbersome and both Ling and Mei rely on being very nimble. they look like they have absolutely no support in the soles though, which is gonna get painful after a certain point. also depending on what fabric they're made of, they could definitely start chafing. I've worn flats. I know that hell. 7/10 for the potential blisters, but at least they're designed specifically for martial arts

Greedling and Bradley

it's hard to get a good shot in this scene because neither of them stop moving, but I swear to god, they're fighting in dress shoes. I cannot stand them. this CANNOT be comfortable. I know Greed prioritizes aesthetics over function so this was probably a compromise between his and Ling's tastes but ohhh my god. he was probably wasting so much of the philosopher's stone just passively healing the million blisters on his feet from running around in these things. there's a chance Bradley is wearing the military uniform shoes but I think he was in more formal dress when he got blown the fuck up, so I don't think so. no wonder he complains about being sore, quit running around in dress shoes you fucking moron. 4/10.

Greed

THESE FUCKING THIIIIIIIINGS. WHY ARE THEY POINTY AT THE END. WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE SOMEONE HIT HIS FOOT WITH A MALLET AND FLATTENED THEM. he's so dumb. I love him. looking at these things tells me he would probably wear goth cowboy boots if he could, and tbh that would probably look better. 3/10 for Greed's overall silly as hell fashion sense

Lust

okay. the heels make sense considering her whole vibe. however. these are part of her fucking BODY. when she gets incinerated, they grow back. can she even take them off???? I'm scared to ask. I guess if theyre part of her body, she doesn't have to worry about adjusting to balancing in them like you would normally with heels, but oh my god. she can never wear normal shoes. I would also be murderous if I had to wear heels all the time. 4/10.

Father and Izumi

guys. these are sandals. it has been four hundred years and Father is still wearing the same outfit he was wearing in the damn desert. find a new outfit man. Izumi is apparently wearing bathroom slippers (hence the WC) so idk why she's even wearing those out of the house. Father gets 0/10 and Izumi gets 1/10 because she still manages to kick everyone's asses while wearing these, so respect

Envy

PUT YOUR FUCKING TOES AWAY. -10000000/10

#fma #fmab #don't take this too seriously I'm just playing around #the main inspiration for this post was the opportunity to pick on greed and envy lmao #I love the spikes on fu and lan fan's outfits so so much #they also have them on their gauntlet things and it rules #I think lan fan should get spiked brass knuckles #I feel bad ranking izumi so low but I do not know how she's fighting in sandals. ma'am. how do you keep them on your feet. #there are some others I didn't include #scar is wearing like. loafers kinda? just normal shoes #which is impressive considering he's on his feet p much all the time #and the briggs soldiers have different boots I think #but I didn't want this post to get too long unnecessarily

Me, casually browsing Pinterest: oh cute dog, seems familiar *continues browsing before coming to an absolute halt* WAIT FUCKIN MACHETE-??

(I see the beloved gay Catholic hounds everywhere (/pos), though I’m not sure if you’re like,, cool with those folks reuploading your art ^^; )

As a side note, I needed a topic for a research project and your art has sent me on the wild trail of the historical prevalence and spread of different hound species in Medieval Europe and the Mediterranean. Your lads are officially peer reviewed XD

.

#jumpscared by misplaced Machete #hah #no I can't say I love it when my art is reposted on pinterest especially without sources or credit #but there isn't a lot I can do to stop that from happening and trying to get them reported and removed would take all of my time #so it isn't worth it #choose your fights wisely and so on #also that's really cool I'm really flattered my art inspired you to pick that topic! hounds and history and the Mediterranean #I hope you have/had good time! #answered #hircine-scholar

Haha having a normal one today! (thinking about how badly i want to fall in love and do someone’s laundry for them)

#wlw #wlw mood #sapphic #sapphism #lesbian #is this just a me thing?? #i love taking care of other people’s clothes #i love picking them up and remembering the times they wore certain things #i love putting my favorites on top so theyre more likely to wear it #i love the idea of mixing all of our clothes together so we end up wearing each other’s sometimes #okay maybe i crave domesticity mind your own business #im gay and i like sleeping

story idea: the dragonborn dies somehow but the power itself must continue on as destiny bids, so the power attaches itself to some rando who them has a full power of the dragonborn. all while the world has stopped to mourn the greatest hero skyrim has ever seen.

#idk where id go with this #something about grief from a distance definitely #maybe something about expectations #i might tap up a concept for this using eryn('s death) and. idk. ill pick an npc OR make one up myself #full disclaimer im on meds as im writing this so while to me in the moment this sounds brilliant im sure its actually kinda stupid #ill decide in the morning #feel free to rb this with your own takes on the concept tho thats be neat reading material
