#once my thoughts are in order

I cannot wait for this Stan to reconnect with his Ford.

I still haven't figured out HOW exactly they'll meet yet, but I do think that Ford would ATTACH himself to Stanley and talk his ears off forever when they eventually get comfortable :] and Stanley would listen because HOLY SHIT, THAT'S HIS BRO HE HASN'T SEEN FOR 40-ISH YEARS, HE MISSED HIS VOICE. Nonstop certified Yapper & Listener relationship <3

Stanley looks dead faced because of his ingrained poker face, but he's thouroughly enjoying it, even if sometimes he has no idea what the fuck Ford is saying. He never interrupts him though, since he knows people usually ignore or interrupt him mid-talk already. So sometimes Stan gets stuck in awkward situations where he has to leave or do stuff, but also doesn't have it in his heart to stop Ford and extract himself out of a (one-sided) conversation.

Day 28 - Favourite

And that's a wrap! This is a redraw of a photo I really like of my favourite wildcat.

[ID: digital painting of a cheetah sitting on top of a small hill with golden and yellow short-grasses, she's bowing her head down to smell a tall, white flower. The background is a blue sky that darkens with the height, and a big, pinkish cloud that frames the cheetah. End ID]

Thank you so much to everyone who reblogged and specially to @mammoth-clangen for creating the prompt list I followed this month, it was very fun! Also for resharing my entries :D

I want to add I based this cheetah's markings off of Kike's! A female cheetah of whom I read a little on Big Cat Diary: Cheetahs, she appears on the cover of the book and was very loved by the authors

I couldn't for the life of mine find the original source of the reference image, I'm very sorry because the only photos I found with reverse search were reposts, my deepest apologies to the original photographer, here's the link to the pin I had saved.

sirius really spent 12 years in solitary confinement with nothing but dementors for company, only to be locked up in his abusive childhood home for a year, and then murdered by his own cousin the one time he left it to protect harry.

it’s no wonder that sirius was such a healthier parental figure to harry during goblet of fire. he may have been alone and on the run, he may have been forced to live in a cave and to eat rats, but at least he was free.

there are a couple big picture things i really want to talk about with my kh3 reimagining, but i don't want to have to wait to explain them in depth or context. i just want to get to the point already!!!

well the good news is that this isn't a fic and i can do whatever i want ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

the first thing i want to talk about is the power of waking. i've heard the in-game explanation for it a dozen times and it still just reads as confused gibberish to me. note that this isn't an invitation to explain it to me again. i know what the game says and i just don't like it.

but i do think it has potential!

so here's how i'm reinterpreting it: the power of waking is simply connecting to a broken or lost heart and easing the pain that's keeping it locked in a state of slumber. we see something like this occur at various points throughout the series, notably in kh1 when kairi restored sora's heart, and then again at the end of ddd when riku dove into sora's heart. these miraculous feats are only possible because of how deep their bonds with one another go, so what we're seeing is a manifestation of how much sora's friends care for him.

the "power of waking" isn't some mystical ability granted upon passing an arbitrary test, nor is it a convoluted puzzle to solve.

it's love.

and here's why that matters: sora's core themes are empathy and the fundamental belief in the power of connections. he forms relationships as easily as breathing and holds on to them tight. they're what make him who he is. "my friends are my power" "i am who i am because of them" "the heart's true nature is to never ever let go" so on and so forth

so then what happens when you care so deeply for other people that you begin to erode your own sense of self, maybe without even realizing it? friends can—and should—share their burdens with one another; it makes you stronger as individuals and as companions. but no one can take on the weight of the entire world's pain without it breaking them in the process.

but when presented with the three hearts sleeping inside him, that's exactly what sora tries to do. that's how he abuses the power of waking.

every time sora wakes a sleeping heart, the pain he confronts changes him, little by little. it's not noticeable at first, but in the literal sense, those memories become a part of him, and they begin wearing away at the parts that make him sora.

naminé outright says in recoded that the enormity of the hurt contained within sora could destroy him. and in the end, it will—not because he lacks the strength to face it, but because he doesn't respect his own boundaries as a person. as far he's concerned, he's nothing without his friends anyway.

so yeah! i think this reinterpretation is not only a cleaner way to tie things together, but it gets directly to the heart (ha) of sora's personal struggles. no time travel or nature taboos necessary.

your car starts making a concerning sound and you tell katsuki about it off-hand, a lil frowny about having to take it into the shop, and you come home from work the next day to him and his dad covered in grease and trying to fix it in the garage

I wholeheartedly recognise that I have been slowly crafting (and, honestly, teasing you guys about) this whole theory which I have very carefully constructed and I was being a bit definitive about it (for myself, I don't expect anyone else to believe my conspiracies), but allow me to drop a whole new bombshell which does not align with my other idea: Moriarty wasn't real.

Moriarty is a tricky character to pin down; aside from sharing the exact same name as his brother (James and James Moriarty), and ACD introducing him and killing him off within the same story, we never actually meet him. The only person who interacts with him is Holmes, Watson only catches a glimpse of him at the Reichenbach. Both times we hear his actual words in The Final Problem and The Valley of Fear are Holmes retelling his own conversations with him. Or, he's randomly being brought up in conversations and called the most dangerous man in London. Then there's the whole thing of ACD introducing him twice in the aforementioned stories; as in, at first it seemed like Holmes only told Watson about him before the Fall, then it seems like Watson knew about him a lot earlier.

I'm not going to full develop this idea (at least, not now), I'm just going to throw it into the void and see what happens.

Either Holmes invented Moriarty (BBCSherlock flashbacks) or Watson did, and both of these have absolutely wild implications and now I can't stop thinking about it.

your motherfucking life ends five seconds from now

chanting “i am allowed to do this” out loud over and over while ordering delivery from a place i’ve never ordered from before. because i’m mentally well and am a normal amount of scared of doing things. now if you’ll excuse me, i have to get back to stewing in anxiety for the next 30-40 minutes while they make my food. like any normal person would.

if one were to write an au in which nico doesn’t retire, do we think he would be able to win another championship

[stompandhollar]

i think i need to write out my thoughts on the “us versus all of them” character dynamic that lives in my head 24/7.

Like the “fuck everyone but me and you, only us, i will forgive anything that you do, you know me inside and out and i will excuse anything if it means staying by your side” dynamic. Doesn’t matter if it’s platonic, familial, romantic— anything, as long as it’s THEM verses everyone else.

a lot of people headcanon hamlet as transfem which i do understand but i feel like we are collectively missing an opportunity by not considering that the person most famous for not being able to choose between things might be nonbinary
