“Are you the one?” he whispered hoarsely, eyes bright. “Are you the one who saved my boy?”

this is the most important thing to me ever actually

i like to pick up feathers while out on a walk, and today i decided to trim and paint this dove feather i'd found and cleaned a while ago.

it's not quite proportionally accurate and the feather didn't take the watercolor paint as easily as i was hoping, but i'm happy with it as a first attempt!

i don't have another pure white feather in my collection right now but as soon as i pick up another one i'll try again :]

#another problem i ran into is #in traditional painting i always use masking tape for like. EVERYTHING because my hands aren't steady enough to get clean edges #(i can never steady my hands enough for brushes. i can only work with pens tbh) #but i didn't want to risk taping the feather because i worried some of it would come off when i peeled it out #also because it's not a solid surface i'm sure the paint would bleed under the tape #my art #free palestine

"But what if she isn't Ruby anymore when she comes back out?" "Maybe... that's not for us to decide."

#RWBY #Blake Belladonna #Yang Xiao Long #Bumbleby #rwby spoilers #😭😭😭 LOVE REALLY IS STORED IN BLAKE BELLADONNA #And very specifically love for Yang Xiao Long #The way Blake's love for Yang is just so steady and gentle and exactly what Yang needs #It looks like she's about to turn away from Blake in the last shot #But Blake is just SO GENTLE in stopping her so she can wipe her tears and show she's there for her #The way they're holding hands after being startled by Herb coming back is sooooo cute #otp: with every smile you told me i love you #For my own tagging purposes

I'm actually unbelievably unwell about Etoiles character you don't understand. He's always been a sword, protecting by attacking first, by fighting back, offense as the best defense. He jokes a lot about dying for the island, dramatic and half sarcastic, but there's truth in his jests. He would kill, and he would die, for his daughter, for the rest of the eggs, for the safety of everyone on the island. He does not hesitate, for what good would that do him?

Then he gets the shield, and it changes the entire game. And while he can still kill to protect the island, he can no longer truly die for them.

His role is functionally the same - he draws attention to himself, he's just as ready for a fight as he's always been, he fights the codes to protect the island - but its the difference between a sword and a shield, because of his literal shield.

He's the only solid defense between the codes and the island, and all the eggs. The only one who can tank the hits and negate the effects of their crazy powerful swords.

A sword cannot hesitate, but a shield must consider it - he cannot take risks when he’s fighting in the Colosseum, because if he dies he’d lose the shield. He cannot risk attacking the fake Pomme without hesitation, not until he’s sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s not his real daughter.

A shield must be sturdy. It must hold up under pressure. It must stay strong and reliable, no matter the circumstance - as the eggs go missing and everyone else crumbles, Etoiles cannot follow suit. He will play his part and defend the island, shouldering what the others cannot, because who else will do what he does?

To lose the shield would not only mean to lose himself, but to lose his family. He cannot fall without failing the entire island, his loss would mean disaster, for who is he if he’s not standing between the ones he loves and the monsters that threaten them?

He's as much a shield as the one he carries.

#he’s a thrill seeker a fight chaser and he paints a target on his back because he can tank the hits and better him than the eggs #he’s a shield in steady hands he’s the protector of the island - an apt comparison yknow #if he loses his shield they’re fucked because it’s their only defense. HE is their only defense. Ugggh #he’s so. like. atlas coded yknow. weight of the world and whatnot. because who else can shoulder the weight of the sky and keep it #from crushing the earth??? #I dunno man. the fact that he’s gotta be the level headed steady reassuring one now too. it’s just fucking with me #my fave my bestie his lore makes me want to rip things with my teeth #mcyt #qsmp #etoiles #q!etoiles #qsmp meta #z speaks

do you guys ever think abt what it means that Contessa shoots twice at the end of Worm.

do you guys ever think its because the first shot was fired without the use of her power.

#had a whole long post i wanted to write about this but #i was having trouble articulating the point #something about monster recognizing monster #about looking at someone who like you sacrificed their own humanity #and selfishly thinking that you are not like her #because unlike her you can simply stop #you can stop being the monster #but as you fire that first shot doubt creeps in your mind and you ask #“is that enough to put her down ?” #and your power eagerly supplies “no” #before it steadies your hand and makes you fire again #wormblr #worm #wildbow #worm wildbow #webserial

literally can't get my shit together enough to say more rn but; absolutely unreal episode of television. just. what a gift. i can't imagine how proud everyone involved must be, and how much fulfillment p'aof must get from looking over his body of work and knowing he has Told A Damn Good Story with a living heartline through it, not just once, but like a habit. i'd walk a thousand miles over glass if he'd tell me a story at the end of it i really would

#last twilight #i need time to process that #sometimes being with someone else's storytelling is putting your grief in their hands and praying they stay steady with it #p'aof i already knew you could hold up the world i didn't know you could hold me too christ alive i'm weeping

I could not stop thinking about the socks of Machete, so adorable 😭✨️ it's giving Cinderella but make it cosy

.

#ah his socks! ;_; #he looks so proud of his socks #now I regret not drawing the cockroach thing in color because I keep thinking of him wearing #various thick and uncharacteristically colorful socks but only at home #he's still allergic to color otherwise but has just so many flashy socks #some of them hand knitted #your clean and steady lineart is so easy on the eyes #he looks terribly cute in your style #the floofy head and the teensy hands and teet #thank you! now I'll be thinking of this whenever I draw him and his socks #gift art #liliumelefen #own characters #Machete #Cinderella but make it cosy
