[THEORY DEBUNKED. THEORY PROVEN FALSE. THEORY NOT TRUE. SORRY TO ALL THE SUA FANS FOR GIVING YOU FALSE HOPE.]

that being said I'll still leave this post up so you all can witness my insanity

"recreating the extinct concept of love was by no means an easy task for her either" - google translate

so a lot of people have been saying that this next extra song is going to be sung by hyuna. I have a couple theories as to why it's not hyuna. (they get more and more deranged as you progress.)

1 - hyuna already has two extra songs: love and peace & drunk and party. (listen to both of them they're really good)

now, is it possible that hyuna could be getting a third extra song and that VIVIMENG are just feeding us hyuna content to make up for her death? yes. a possibility. however, there's something else that might point to it being someone else other than hyuna.

2 - the girl's skin is too pale to be hyuna. but there's a possibility that the lighting is just making her skin paler than normal. however, I think that point 1 and the following points outweigh the possibility of whitewashed hyuna being true.

3 - now, my theory: I think that sua's getting her own extra song next. my reasons are listed below:

3a - Ivan and hyuna are the only people so far to have extra songs. what do Ivan and hyuna have in common? they're dead. who else is dead? sua.

3b - it would make perfect sense for sua to "recreate the extinct concept of love"—it's well known that she was owned by a segyein who had multiple other pets that looked just like her. and those other pets didn't treat sua well due to the fact that she was nigeh's favorite.

hence, sua would have known what love was like in theory but not in practice—thereby making love something "extinct" (extinct implies that it was once there but not there anymore) and something needing to be "recreated" (sua learns how to love again with her finding mizi).

3c - just like how the lighting could make hyuna's skin appear paler, the lighting could also make sua's hair appear brown, as seen in this official art seen on the left—note the ends, which appear gold/brown when in the light:

it's also important to note that sua's hair normally contains the color blue (right image). if my theory was true, the lighting composition could then imply that sua is in a happier place—which obviously, she is, because she's rediscovering love. blue, specifically pale blue, (not dark blue—that's Ivan) is also generally associated with sua, as seen by numerous other official arts:

so it would make sense for this art, which also contains pale blue, to potentially be tied to sua.

3d - VIVIMENG just hasn't done a lot with sua lately. it would make sense for this to be a sua revival, because hyuna and luka have been getting so much attention, and before that, Ivan and till.

3e - it's just my wishful thinking please sua I need more of your angelic voice please sua sua please please please please sua PLEASEEEEEEEEEE

EDIT: oh yeah there's also this:

3f - take my hand?

yep. correct me if I'm wrong, but I think mizisua is the only couple who have actually held hands (edit from non-sleep-deprived tabs: THIS IS COMPLETELY INCORRECT.)

not holding your boyfriend's face in your hands—

not holding your girlfriend in your arms as she dies—

just holding hands. the purest and most innocent form of love.

EDIT: hEY SO I SOMEHOW COMPLETELY FORGOT THIS SCENE:

WHICH GIVES ANOTHER POSSIBLE REASON FOR WHY IT MAY BE HYUNA. I. I MIGHT'VE FUCKED UP. OOPS.

EDIT: hey so I'm just an idiot and this point is mildly invalid!!!

because I SOMEHOW FORGOT THIS SCENE AS WELL.

EDIT: another point for why it may be hyuna instead of sua, and then my insane rationalization.

4 - the girl's hair falls past her chin. sua's hair, throughout all her main depictions, has been exactly chin length, or fallen just past her chin. however, there is one picture where her hair is not this length.

her period in anakt garden when she grew her hair out to start modeling. and we should note that in the corner, it says that "a confused mizi experiencing a new emotion for the first time." what is that emotion? love. it's love.

anyway we'll see if I'm right soon enough. lemme know if I missed anything.

So Carry Me From These Walls, Brother of Mine

//Damian is not a child anymore, or at least, his training does not allow him to be a child anymore, despite only being 9 years old.

But during high-stress moments or when fear truly sinks in, he can't help but slip into old habits of his younger years and call out for his Baba to come and comfort him. He can't help but call out for the young man who had raised him like he was his own while they were in the League despite having been just a teen himself.

Jason swears he has no attachments anymore. He swears he only cares about getting his revenge and about his plans to get back at Bruce for letting that clown live and replacing him after his death.

And yet, every time his habibi is in trouble or in distress, he can't help but drop everything and come running, no matter what.

Even if it keeps setting his plans back more and more, to the point they just crumble to ash.

Because nothing is more important than the young boy that somehow became his anchor in this fucked up life.//

NEWS. Heat in F1?

Y/N, driver of Williams, has been involved lately in many scandals with the double champion of formula one, Max Verstappen. According to some fans, since it was announced that Y/L/N was going to start driving in formula one, the news had a good reception from the other drivers, except one. Verstappen does not follow her on any of her social media and avoids answering the questions he was asked about Y/N.

The two drivers are competitive and it has been noticed that in recent races they have been fighting for the podium. However, at the Miami Grand Prix, drivers had a major incident. They both made mistakes that led them to collide and yet, it seems they blame each other. According to some sources nearby, they say that neither of them can face each other without starting to fight. We still don’t understand what the breaking point has been, but we can ask ourselves some questions, will Verstappen and Y/L/N finally have a moment of peace? And more importantly, who will win the upcoming races?

NEWS: Y/N AND MAX VERSTAPPEN SPOTTED TOGETHER!

Formula One drivers, have been seen together, leaving a restaurant and having a casual conversation. Is this the end of the bad blood between them? Two weeks ago, Y/N uploaded some photos on her social media showing a bouquet of flowers given to her by Max Verstappen, and since then, the tension seems to have died down. Next Sunday is the race at Silverstone, where only one of them will win the podium. Who will it be? Verstappen or Y/L/N? A new scandal is coming?

Pinky and the Brain and Animaniacs are taking over my brain again, this hasn't happened on a hyperfixation scale since 2023...HELP

LAB MICE DOODLE DUMP, ENJOY, EAT YOUR FOOD ANIMANIACS FANDOM I KNOW YOU'RE STARVING FOR CONTENT LMAO!!! <3

First time re-drawing them (oops I forgot to colour Brain's nose)

I did character studies on the mice so I could draw them accurately while still remaining in my artstyle (I probably spelled things wrong but idc). Why are they so hard to DRAW 😭 bruuuuh, I'll get the hang of it...

top camera pov lmao

ROMY!!!! For those who don't know, he is Pinky and Brain's canonical biological merged clone/child...not even joking, its canon, I'm serious (Still cant believe this episode was real, watch the episode called "Brinky" for context, he also was in a comic but I forgot which issue). This sucker was the easiest to draw somehow 😭

A summary of what happened (I decided to rewatch random episodes of the series, now I'm back in the fucking building again!!! /snapcube ref)

I have ideas I will provide 0 context for...you'll have to wait and see if I ever carry these ideas to the finish line Ooooo (some probably not, but others yes)

Uninished Storyboards?!?! :O (Song ref, Take over the world, sung at Animaniacs in concert, very cool song I love it). Are the storyboards in order? NOPE :D.

Random ass doodles (can you tell who my favourite characters are...I'll give you a hint, they're gene spliced lab mice hell bent on taking over the world)

(OLD ART BELOW) I used to draw them like this, Brain has a small head wtf, Pinky's eyes have a small gap between them also i gave him extra fluffy ears for fun, and their bodies are too human, not enough mousey proportions. (These are life sized pinky and brain cut outs I made for Halloween in 2021 which I still think is pretty cool despite the older art, they are 4 inches and 6 inches...life sized 😭💖.)

I forgot how large of a scale this hyperfixation is...so be prepared (if I end up posting lots of stuff lol, I post whatever I want here lol)

Don't panic Smg4 fans who follow me! (which might be most of you) I'm still hyped about Smg4 (I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE CURRENT ARC), but you may have to deal with the fact I have a lot of other interests, and I'm remembering how much I LOVE THESE FUCKING LAB MICE (and warner siblings, and all of animaniacs lol). If you guys like these shows too then YIPPEEEEEEE

I love both 90's shows so much. I love Animaniacs, I LOVE Pinky and the brain. And I really like the reboot (despite the few issues it had, still wish they hired Tom Rugger to get involved, HE WASNT EVEN TOLD ABOUT IT till it was too late, bruuuuuuh)

That's all folks!

(Just wanna say real quick, we WON, KETCHUP ENTERTAINMENT HAS SAVED ACME VS COYOTE!!! If they reference acme labs in any way I will explode happily) 😁💖💥

oops, new build new Balor design. I've been going through this whole spectrum of "what is a Balor". We started off with "grapple Balor", moved to "Zheng with a good computer", sat around in "undecided" land for a while, then began messing around with "egalitarian buddy hack and slash". But as we've been playing, my Balor - Covetous Hunger - has become increasingly its own character in how much it 1) wants to put everything in its nanite cloud mouth and 2) how much it hates-loves-hates-loves its pilot and wear his skin like a suit. What do you do when your mech becomes a toxic hivemind hyper-fixated on doing evil?

You give it an NHP. You give it Iconoclast.

Oop is not mermay anymore… welp, here’s a turtle. A green sea turtle to be exact. Her name is Greg (Greg is a very girly-pop name, shut up. Also I named her before I realized that her tail was quite short and therefore she is actually a girl lol)

When I first started sculpting this I just looked up “sea turtle” and forgot (or rather didn’t know) that there are actually 7 species of sea turtle. Somehow by the grace of Poseidon I managed to almost exactly make a green sea turtle! That probably has something to do with how this pattern is what most people immediately think of when they think sea turtle, but there’s another species of sea turtle that has the same pattern but slightly different: hawksbill sea turtles.

Unfortunately, I did not know the difference until the clay had dried.

Because hawksbills are so much cooler! They can do biofluorescence

Yet, this post is about green sea turtles, I will make something for a hawksbill eventually. Mark my word.

Green sea turtles are in contender with the loggerhead sea turtle for being the largest hard shelled sea turtle, different sources disagree on correct sizes or which is larger than the other. However, neither sea turtle camera close to the size of leatherback sea turtles with can regularly get over six feet (1.8 meters) in length! Green sea turtles are also the only fully herbivorous adult sea turtles, however they do eat small, live animals as young hatchlings.

This diet of theirs is actually what gives them their name. ‘Green sea turtle’ comes from the color of their flesh, which is a greenish color on tire inside.

As of now green sea turtles are endangered, and their populations are decreasing. The causes of this decline are human caused due to poaching, fishing nets, pollution and debris, habitat and nest distribution, the climate crisis, etcetera, etcetera… in addition to this, natural predators, diseases, and hazards to hatchings mean that very few turtles live to adulthood, many sources claiming that one 1 in 1000 make it to sexual maturity. But there is hope! Many facilities and projects are working to help increase the survival rate of sea turtles by hunting poachers and raising hatchlings during their most vulnerable months.

These are wonderful replies and I highly recommend watching and reading more about them! There are wonderful free videos on YouTube that you can pop on in the background while you do whatever you need to today, and if you have the resources please consider donating to charities or funds like Planet Wild, Wold Wildlife Fund, the Sea Turtle Conservancy, and so on <3

And if you don’t: just pick up some trash today, you might save a life, probably not if a sea turtle, but most likely of some other glorious creature.

[moviememokeeper]

how do you think reca would react to someone who can not be recorded in any shape or form, not just video or photo? its just, whenever a photo or video of them is taken, their form is somehow obscured or removed entirely. the cameras randomly break, even. writing their name down is impossible, because it just comes out as a big lump of scribbles, their voice is distorted beyond recognition in media with sound etc etc.

personally i think reca would just see this as a challenge to see how he could make a movie of someone who is seemingly impossible to make a movie of. so maybe these two would have a great friendship?

"you literally can't make a movie involving me."

"is that a challenge?"

"..........yes."

I had notes about this, and asked a friend for a second opinion, and then forgot to post… oops

anyway

Are we assuming animations would be distorted too? Because if they’re not/they work normally I think Reca would jump to making an animated movie

I imagine animation isn’t his usual style but he does love playing around with it

what about mirrors? Like would he able to take a picture of their reflection?

Or what if he just makes the film from their pov

like playing a game in first person, the camera would literally be looking through their eyes if that makes sense

This is fun I like this

I think these two would have a great friendship. Reca gets increasingly, dunno how to put, crazy? Trying to figure out how to make this film and they just kinda go along with it

Back to the animation idea

“Is that me you’re drawing? Am I that irresistible?”

meanwhile, Reca is just aggressively scribbling down on a piece of paper muttering to himself

“I am going to make this work”

Now, you could always just hire an actor to play them, but where’s the fun in that?

They’ll be hanging out, doing literally anything else, and in the middle of it Reca just goes “what if we try to-”

calling them at 3 am just because he thinks he’s cracked it and- what do you mean this isn’t a normal time to call? Oh, right, humans need sleep…

he’ll just call back at 9 am

through the puddles of ink

since it's a new academic year, a new chapter of my life and i thought, since i've been on tumblr for around eight months now that it's about time i properly introduced myself - this would shock the person i was when i first started this blog, but as it's grown so have i, and i think university has indefinitely helped my confidence - so, without further ado, here goes i'll start this properly by explaining the title of this post - through the puddle of ink

ink is important because obviously it is the basis of literature, the foundation of stories and fitting to my blog name, you dip the quill in the ink to write, to forge an adventure that tests the imagination and takes a reader to wonderful places and puddles because let's face it, ink is messy, ink is chaotic, just like me, my characters, and my writing and because through the looking glass is a very iconic title i also watched that movie in the cinema years ago, i took inspiration, and here we are now - this post is a reflection of me, the beautiful nightmares and writing gremlins that co-exist within my brain and a way for me to get to better know my mutuals, anyone and everybody on writeblr!

here comes the scary part - only for me, and my semi-awkward self - introducing myself, i've never been very good at this stuff so bear with me - and have mercy on my nervous soul,

for the longest time i've loved the sort of self-imposed anonymity of this blog, and don't get me wrong i still do adore my blog name but I thought it was about time I properly introduced myself, so, let me just shuffle some papers in the library of my mind, find the right phrasing for this and... (cue angry hitting of the keyboard) hello! my name is Erin and i'm a writer, a lover of chaos, and a semi-functioning tempest somehow existing within society - i love and ramble about lots of different things - books, shows, songs, you name it, i can waffle and sometimes i can waffle well (that is how i am now going to describe my writing, because it feels like it fits so well)

phew, i got that out, that tiny paragraph was a lot of effort (and i've beaten writers block more often than i can count)

this little post might not seem like much, but to me it's a lot, and i'm happy to have made it this far, and i'm so looking forward to continuing to grow alongside this blog and writeblr (i love you all, no seriously)

and now onto some very much needed rambling about my works, because there's a lot the lovely folk of writeblr are yet to know (and it will come, in time, but here's what i can say for now)

Ruin's Reprisal - we all know the tale of this, my oldest, most functioning (cough, using that term loosely) work - well, where to start? well, i'm on the final stage of proofreading, and once that's all done i'm hoping (let's be honest, dreaming,) to have the final draft complete and out in the great wide world come christmas/new year (that is a courageous goal, even for me, but who knows, maybe i can pull it off, just maybe)

A Deal Of Daggers - it's almost time for nanowrimo, which marks two years since the idea for this first came to me, and i cannot wait to spend autumn working on it (not that i am participating in nano properly this year, what with student-life obligations, but i'm going to write what i can) and i've been steadily chipping away with a few chapters already

those are my two main works, and probably the only works i've been focusing on over the last couple of months - and i've fallen completely and wholeheartedly in love with them all over again, as i do, every single time i open the files on scrivener

as far as my tired but over-eager to write brain can think this should be it for everything i wanted to include in this post until the next post (which won't be long, i can guarantee it),

~ Erin, A Girl and Her Quill, or whatever this hellscape would like to call me :)

There is one thing i'm really wondering about.

When did Rayla fall in love with Callum? I mean i get the why, and i ship it "yay" but she was so good at hiding her emotions i can't really pinpoint when she tipped over from "Callum is a friend." to "I can't lose him."

You can pinpoint when she turned from weird ally to friend. It was when Callum asked her to go to the Banther Lodge, his "heartfelt speech" was relatable to her.

We know she was already aware of her own feelings regarding Callum by the time he did dark magic.

We also know she was already very protective of Callum by the time Villads had to stop the Ruthless because of the storm. "If you die out there, i swear i'll kill you."

Before that they were flying on Phoe-Phoe, and before that they were staying with Lujanne where the only thing remotely suggesting any of her feelings was that she was disgusted by Claudia's clear approach to Callum. Which i hardly accept as Soren was also disgusted eventhough he showed support for Callum's approach to Claudia before. And also because... as an aroace i did find it cringe too. Somehow Claudia's romantic relationships end up being cringe.

I'm sorry, idk how to say it nicely but she doesn't seem to do well in romantic relationships. She is very Azula-esque in many ways(i mean... duh) They are both very close family oriented characters, both are essencially victims of their broken family, both are incredibly talented and powerful despite being hella childish because parents forgot to raise them, oops. And being raised so fked up they seem to be unable to form actually functioning romantic relationships.

Even with Terry, i felt like Terry loves her and Claudia is just happy to have a mostly yes-man by her.

But this is a Rayla post, sidenote over.

On Callum's part i'm fairly sure by the time he used dark magic he returned Rayla's feelings, as unaware of it as he was. I mean dude pretty much decided on a whim to throw his principles out the window for Rayla's sake(and ended up corrupting his own soul in the process but he didn't know that)

You'd think that he didn't love Rayla when they were still with Lujanne because he still had a crush on Claudia, but that's not entirely correct.

In the novelization of season 2, when he hangs out with Claudia he is acutely aware of Rayla's whereabouts and opinions and doesn't want Rayla to see him with her even in pretty normal circumstances. The guy just... didn't think it's weird to be hyper aware of someone who he apparently has no feelings for.

So... what's my guess on when Rayla started feeling more than friendship towards Callum?

Hmmm.

Probably when they made up on the frozen lake where they dropped Zym's egg.

And Callum eeeehhh probably earlier he just didn't know? I mean in chapter 14 "the sad prince" he was completely unaware he drew Rayla and he quickly hid it from her when she returned, eventhough Callum is not shy of his drawings.

Siiigh... book 3's novelization is still months away, i wonder what insight that's gonna give.

You can just have it

“You don’t need to earn affection, Julian.  You can just… have it.”

I tripped and 2300 words of fluff fell out, oops.

Part of the Between the Deep Blue Sea and the Devil collection of Altheia-flavoured rewrites of particular scenes in Julian's route. This is the scene at Portia's cottage in Book VIII chapter 3. Wasn't sure whether to post it as it feels personal to me but the collection wouldn't be complete without it, so here it is.

Important note! This is angst-scented fluff but the full collection on AO3 contains scenes that are very 18+, please don't go there if you're a minor.

For a while, as Altheia had sat with Julian and Portia, listening to Julian’s tales of adventure and Portia’s childhood stories, the light-hearted bickering between the siblings, and tentative thoughts of the future, she almost forgot why they were there.  That they’d had to escape from the library after nearly being caught there by the Countess; that Julian had a key in his pocket that he couldn’t remember but which he knew was important somehow ; that he was a fugitive, on the run for murder.  That she, hired by the Countess to bring Julian to justice, was instead helping him; and if they were caught, she could hang on the gallows alongside him.  

But here, sitting on benches outside Portia’s cottage, laughing and eating in the warm evening air, that all seemed distant.  They were family.  They were home.  And Julian was happy .  With every smile, every laugh, every pantomimed offence taken at Portia’s stories, and every theatrical gesture accompanying his stories, the fondness and affection that Altheia felt for him grew, her heart swelled.

Eventually, Portia left them and went to bed.  Altheia looked over at Julian.  Leaning back against the wall of the cottage, the soft light of the fireflies dancing over his features, his hand running idly over Pepi, Portia’s cat, curled up on his lap.  The corners of his mouth were slightly lifted in a smile of contentment as he, too, just for a moment, forgot the truth of their situation.  The auburn curls of the forelock of his hair drifted down over his right eye, his eyelids were dark and heavy, the breeze ruffling the collar of his shirt against his long, pale neck.

He was beautiful.

With a sigh, he turned to look at her, the back of his head still against the wall.  He looked into her eyes for a moment, contemplatively, and then he lifted his arm towards her in tentative invitation.  Pepi stretched and jumped off his lap as Altheia sat beside him, he draped his arm over her shoulders, pulling her close, and she slipped her hand inside the open front of his shirt, spreading her fingers through the soft hairs, feeling the slow rise and fall of his breathing, the strong and steady beat of his heart.  She felt his nose brush along the centre part of her hair, his lips press a kiss there.

“This is nice,” she said eventually.

“Mmm.  It is.”  His hand moved to her thigh, and a heat rose up in her.  But that heat was quenched as quickly as it had risen when he said, “Shame it can’t last.”

“Can’t it?”

“Can it?”

Altheia pushed back from him, rest a hand on his cheek and turned him to face her.  A shadow of sorrow had passed over his countenance, and she sighed softly as his gaze dropped.

She slid slightly along the bench away from him, then patted her lap.

“Come here.  Lie back.”

He blinked at her in surprise, then smiled and twisted around, pulling up his legs to rest booted feet on the bench and laying on his back, resting his head in her lap and wriggling in until he was comfortable, one leg bent up, the other dangling off the edge of the bench.  Altheia returned her hand to his chest, the other in the thick waves of his hair.  Silence fell between them, as Altheia slowly ran his hair between her fingers, lightly scraped his scalp with her short nails, looking down fondly as his eyelids slid shut.

“If I was a cat, I’d purr,” he murmured sleepily.  And then, despite not being a cat, he made a sound with his tongue against the roof of his mouth that did sound remarkably like a purr, and Altheia laughed.

After a few minutes, he quietly said,

“I wish it could.”

“Hmm?”

“Last.  I wish it could last.  I wish… I wish I was a better man.  Someone who deserved it.”

A lump of sorrow rose to Altheia’s throat, and she brushed Julian’s hair back from his forehead.  She ran her forefinger along the top edge of his eye patch, eyebrows raised questioningly when he looked at her.  He nodded with an uncertain smile, and she gently removed the patch.  Julian blinked and rubbed his eye with the heel of his hand as it adjusted to the light.  Now, when he looked back at her, she could see the depths of both of his eyes, the crimson sclera that many feared or found shocking but which she saw as a scar of a battle he’d fought and won, of his strength.

“What do you want?” she asked.  “When this is all over, when we’ve found the truth, proved that you didn’t kill the Count, proven to you that you didn’t do the bad things that you think you did.  What then?”

“What do I want?  What does it matter what I want?”

Altheia ran her finger down Julian’s jaw, along his bottom lip.  “You’ll have to do something .  Go somewhere.  Be someone.”

A faint frown touched his brow.  “I uh.  I don’t know.  I've never thought about it.  I was sure I'd hang , and there's not much of a future after your neck snaps, you know.”

Altheia tutted disapprovingly.  And then waited, her fingers lightly tracking the sharp contours of his face, watching the thoughts running behind Julian’s eyes as he looked up at the stars.

Eventually, he tentatively started,

“Do you think…”  He shook his head as if frustrated with himself.  “No, I couldn’t.  No.  I can’t think like that.”

“Humour me.”

“Hmm?”  He looked up at her, puzzled.

“Pretend that you think you can .  What do you want?”

“This.”  His voice was very small, strained, as if he didn’t dare to hope.  “I want this.  With you, and… and what Pasha has.  A…  a home.”

He closed his eyes, his throat bobbing as he swallowed. 

Altheia smiled gently, resting her palm over his cheek.  He sighed and nuzzled into it.  Her heart pounded with a kind of excitement, a surge of nervous happiness that he’d said he wanted her .  Almost without thinking, so self-absorbed that he hadn’t even realised the effect his words could have on her.

“Why can’t you have it?”

“I don’t deserve it.  I’ve done nothing to earn your… your affection, your feelings, for me, whatever they may be.”

“You don’t need to earn affection, Julian.  You can just… have it.”

One corner of his mouth lifted in a small, sad smile.  “Is that so.”

It wasn’t a question, not really.  It was a statement that she was wrong, that it wasn’t so, that he couldn’t just have affection.  Altheia looked down at him, at his head cradled in her lap.  His gaze drifted, breath exhaled in a soft sigh through his nose.

“Yes, Julian.  It’s so.”

He turned his eyes back up to her with a slight shake of his head, almost as if pitying her naivety.  The fingertips of his left hand brushed over the backs of her knuckles, of the hand resting on his chest.  There was a wistfulness to his tone as he quietly said,

“My dear, everything has to be earned one way or another.”

Her heart ached for him.  She turned her hand over and curled her fingers around his.  Only then did she realise how rare it was for one or other of them to not be wearing gloves.  Of course, his were to cover the murderer’s brand on the back of his left hand; but he didn’t need to hide it from her.  Now, she ran her fingertips in slow circles around his large, cool palm, tracing the lines, creases and callouses of a life lived.  With another faint sigh, he brought her hand to his lips.  Seizing the moment, with one eyebrow raised, she said,

“Do I have to earn it?”

Julian froze with his lips against her knuckles, eyes wide as he looked up at her.

“N-no?  No!  No of course you don’t.”  His lips moved against her skin.  “You deserve it, unconditionally.  And… from someone better than me.”

She shook her head, lips curving in a slight smile as she combed her free hand through his thick hair.

“Better?  Who would be ‘better’?”

His eyes dropped, his expression melancholy.  “Anyone.”

“I don’t want ‘anyone’.”  It was her turn now to raise his hand to her lips.  She couldn’t convince him that there wasn’t anyone better , not for her.  But she wanted to make him see that she saw all the things that he perceived as his flaws and imperfections, and she didn’t just want him in spite of them, but because of them, because there were many other facets to him, many things that were perfections , and every little part of him, the good and the bad, were what made him, him .  There was no shadow without light.

His gaze turned up to hers again, surprised, confused, but… hopeful .  

“You… you want…”

Altheia smiled, nodded.  There were probably words she should say, something affirming, reassuring.  But instead, she placed his hand over her heart, and placed her hand over his heart, feeling its pace pick up in sync with hers.  A kind of wonder came to Julian’s grey eyes, and Altheia bent and brushed her lips over his, feeling his shuddering breath.  

“Yes, Julian.”  Her voice was low, velvety.  “I want you to have my affection.  All of it.  And the only thing I ask in return…”  She pressed her lips more firmly against his.  “... is yours. ”

“You have it,” he said on a gasp, his voice and eyes earnest in their promise.  He seemed to choke a little, and then repeated her words back to her.  “All of it.  All of… of me .”

His hand hooked around the back of her neck as she bent down the rest of the way to kiss him with as much affection as she could manage.  His body trembled beneath hers, small noises escaped his lips and tripped over her tongue as she swept it gently over his.

Eventually she pulled up, looking down into dusk-grey eyes as her thumb stroked his cheekbone.  She was suffused with warmth, a feeling that they’d ignited something , committed themselves.  

A lump rose to her throat as Julian held onto her hand over his heart, as if he thought that if he let her go, he’d lose her.  

“I’m not going to leave you,” she told him with a warm, reassuring smile.  “I…”

I love you .

The thought came to her from a pulse of her heart that flooded every part of her with a warmth and certainty that the embers burning between them since they’d met, had ignited into something more, but that it wasn’t new .  It was right .  It was a coming home after a long journey.  It was waking up in strong arms after a nightmare.  It was a love that had always been, and always would be.

But she couldn’t say it.  It was too much, when Julian had only just accepted affection , to expect him to believe that she loved him.  More, she couldn’t expect him to return her feelings.

So all she said was,

“I want to be with you.  I haven’t felt myself for three years.  And I don’t know who I was before.  But what I do know is that this…”  She laced her fingers with his, their hands over his chest, feeling the rapid pounding of his heart.  “This is right .  There was something between us before.  I don’t know what it was, and I don’t know why we can’t remember it.  But I think… I belong with you.  I did then.  And I do now.  If you’ll have me.”

Julian looked as if he wanted to speak, taking a deep breath but letting it out soundlessly.  He bit his lip, his eyes shimmered.  Suddenly he sat up, and Altheia panicked that she’d said too much, that he’d push her away, repeat his assertion of the night before, that he was a terrible person who’d only hurt her.

“I’m sorry…” she said hastily.

But Julian only shifted so he sat beside her, his hip and thigh pressing against hers, and his arm wrapped around her front, gently tugging her to twist at the waist to face him.  He was still trembling, little whimpers and fragments of words escaping him, and the fingers of his left hand entangled in her hair and held her as his mouth moved against hers.  She leaned into him, one hand snaking up into his hair, the other around his back, pulling him close.  His right hand rested in the curve of her waist, slender fingertips pressing against her flesh and making a spark of pleasure ripple through her.

“Altheia…”  His voice was a hoarse, shuddering whisper against her lips as he pulled back just an inch, just enough that his eyes could meet hers.  “I’m yours.”

She felt a hot flush rise to her cheeks, couldn’t stop a delighted smile.  

“And I’m yours.”  She laughed softly.  “And you’re mine?”

“Yes.”  Julian’s smile was unreserved, the corners of his eyes crinkling.  “I’m yours, and… and you’re mine.”

“You’re mine, and I’m yours.”

They laughed together then, eyes closing, foreheads resting against each other, arms wrapped around them, shirts gliding over skin beneath restless hands.  Altheia didn’t know how long it would take to solve the Count’s murder.  She didn’t know exactly what their future looked like.  Much was uncertain.  But she did know that her feelings ran deep, she believed that Julian’s did, too, and that their future, whatever and wherever it may be, would be together .  Even if he didn’t quite believe it yet, she knew it.  

She loved him.

Ok so I’m absolutely head over heels for canon Starbula, of course. BUT. I was rewatching What If? season one’s “What If T’Challa Became a Star-Lord?” episode and got INSPIRED. 

What if THIS Nebula...

...still connected (and eventually got together) with THIS Peter Quill?

Rewatching this episode, it was so fun to see what Nebula with less cybernetic replacements and trauma would be like. But until now, I’d just recalled that this episode's universe ended in a tragedy, with Ego harnessing Dairy Queen!Peter to destroy the galaxy. (I totally forgot that later in the season, we actually do see T'challa save Peter - oops 😅)

Anyway, after my recent rewatch - and before I remembered that T'challa does save the day in canon - I was like…wait a second. This is the MCU we’re talking about, and these characters have faced certain-apocalypses like this a million times before. And season 2 of What If? just showed Peter breaking free of Ego’s control as a kid, so it could definitely happen here. 

So anyway, I started imagining what might happen in this universe to bring Peter and Nebula together, post-episode, and thought the ensuing headcanon was cute enough to share!

Basically, once Ego starts wreaking havoc on earth with a newly-mind-controlled Peter, our heroes Nebula, T’Challa, etc. are quickly alerted to the disaster and fly over to Missouri from Wakanda. In the ensuing fight, Nebula, T'Challa, and Co. realize that Peter is the key to Ego’s power and current destruction, so they try to get Peter away from him. At some point in the fight, Nebula and Peter are somehow separated from the rest of the Ravagers. Maybe when it’s clear they won’t be able to defeat Ego right now, everyone decides to get in their ships to escape and regroup. Peter's next to Nebula, so she grabs him and runs into her ship with him in tow. T’Challa and the others say they'll distract Ego long enough for Nebula and Peter to escape via a jump point.

This basically happens, but maybe Nebula's ship is damaged by Ego in the space fight/escape. So once Nebula and Peter have gotten safely away from Ego, she realizes she's unable to contact the rest of the Ravagers for some reason. Maybe Ego's attack broke her comm, or the ship is damaged enough that she has to crash land on a nearby planet after leaving the jump point. Basically, she and Peter are stuck together on their own for a while, unable to reconnect with the Ravagers.

Initially, Nebula is pissed at Peter for forcing her to separate from her friends and being the cause of this galaxy-level threat (even though, as she learns later, it’s not actually his fault). Poor Peter is totally overwhelmed and freaked out. He’s just had his world turned upside down, is now in space, and this (beautiful) blue alien is yelling at him about how the galaxy is in danger thanks to him.

Over time, however, as Nebula realizes the only way to stop Ego is to help Peter hone his newly-awakened abilities, she starts to warm up to this strange Terran. Peter is his usual charming, funny, and clever self, so as he learns from Nebula about how to survive and fight in space, tries to help her fix the ship, and practices using his powers, he slowly begins to win her over. Lots of cute bonding ensues, and the two eventually become something like the strong and trusting partnership we see in GOTG3.

At some point, Ego finally finds and captures T’Challa and uses him to lure Nebula and Peter back, so he can re-kidnap Peter. (Maybe Nebula finally fixes her comm, and when she does, she learns that T’Challa has been captured by Ego.) Of course, Ego ends up getting defeated by our dynamic duo, totally caught off guard by how powerful Peter has become with his powers. Hooray the galaxy is saved lol

Once they rescue T’Challa from Ego's captivity, Peter watches Nebula run into his arms, the two of them tightly embracing each other in relief. Peter gets self-conscious, realizing that he doesn’t actually belong here in space with them. He belongs back in Missouri, back at the stupid Dairy Queen, not here. There’s no way that Nebula, who he’d been slowly developing feelings for, would ever want to be with him over perfect actual-prince and Star-Lord, T'Challa.

But surprise! Even though Nebula definitely had *~vibes~* in that What If? episode with T’Challa (side note: I think it’s funny that no matter the universe, Nebula is always deeply connected with that universe’s Star-Lord!), during her solo adventures with Peter, she’s realized that she’s actually falling for this goofy Terran. 

So Nebula basically tells Peter that his true home is in space (with her 🥲), and invites him to joins the Ravagers. Maybe they confess their feelings at this point, or maybe the slow burn continues slow-burning longer. Probably the latter lol. But either way, this universe’s Nebula and Peter continue to be badasses across the galaxy together, just in a different way from the MCU canon!

I just think the idea of this version of Peter, who’s never been to space and generally has no idea what’s going on, still managing to charm this version of Nebula…is the absolute cutest. And the fact that no matter the universe, these two will somehow always find each other 🥹

PS As I said before, I totally forgot that later in What If? season one (episode 9), it actually shows T'Challa saving Peter from Ego lol. But after rewatching that episode too, I was happy to see all of those scenes still fit here, so my headcanon is technically still canon-compliant 😆

w[h]ip wednesday

i forgot to post last wednesday! oops

this is from my day 3! the working title is "and the gay one still wearing his cravat"

There’s an omen in the way it’s her sore throat that wakes her, not Miles’ car coming to a rumbling halt. Franziska blinks languidly at the iridescent blur of traffic all around her, runoff from the sprinklers trickling onto the still-steaming blacktop and turning them to mirrors in the newborn night. In the last flash of sunset, the palm trees look black against the sky.

She sniffs sharply and suddenly, the nonspecific area behind her nose and eyes feeling uncomfortable and buzzy. The California dusk slowly crystallizes around her—headlights and streetsigns, the overpass across the way, the undefined purr of engines idling in the… parking lot. They’re in a parking lot.

To her left, Miles pulls his keys from the ignition, and the system clicks off with a quiet beep. Franziska realizes she’d been sleeping with her arms wrapped around her waist, and she tightens her own grip on herself, as if trying to hold it all together.

Her voice scrapes against itself as it tries its damnedest to manifest, “Where have you taken me?”

Miles looks unbothered, pawing around his pockets for something. 

“Creme Royale parking lot.”

Narrow-eyed and exhausted, Franziska blinks owlishly at him.

“Why,” she croaks, “are we in the Creme Royale parking lot.”

“Because the drive-thru line was too long,” says Miles. “Do keep up, Franziska.”

There is an air that Miles wears like a veil across his shoulders when he has no interest in elaborating further. Thus far, the only people who seem able to yank that metaphorical garment from its place there are Phoenix Wright, and Franziska on a good day. Today is decidedly not a good day—evidenced by the fact that she somehow fell asleep in Miles Edgeworth’s obnoxiously loud, fuel-inefficient slag heap of a car—and so she lets him be aloof and dodgy, saying no more to him as he goes. The locks shove themselves back into place with a n oddly abrasive sound, and Franziska leans her head against the car window, feeling uncomfortably warm.

When did she fall asleep? The day’s events run together like paint, each so oversaturated a colour that the blend just ends up an ugly grey in the end. No sooner after she exited the car had the discomfort in her throat returned, as if the shameless munching of cough drops she’d been doing all morning had been for naught. Holding a growl behind her teeth, she soldiered on—trekking the campus in razor heels with briefcase in hand, meeting with countless students, giving her two-hour lecture to a circular room of enraptured, bright-eyed kids, relishing in all the attention and praise. 

Miles was, as always, incorrigibly kind, and so he’d been right there to pick her up as the sun was dipping, and she remembers the ache had made its way clear down to her legs at that point, and her voice was beginning to become a measly imprint of its usual deep, rich tenor… and she had tried to remain dignified as she more or less collapsed, unceremoniously, into her brother’s car. He had asked something about if she’d had a nice day, and she had mumbled out some manner of insult in response, and then… nothing. She woke up in the parking lot, sweating in the fool’s passenger seat.

Why’s it so damn hot? The only thing that stops Franziska from diving for the AC is the way just lifting her arm pulls hard at her nerves. What the hell is wrong with her? Dark a thought as it is, she feels like she had more arm strength than this the day she got shot. 

It’s a useless endeavour, in any case. As she sits there quietly seething with heat and rage, the digital numbers on Miles’ car radio tell her the temperature is already cranked as low as it can possibly go. No doubt he saw her sweating like a maniac and did so in an attempt to spare her the shame, Miles would never keep it that cold on purpose. That thought strikes again—revolting. The idea that he notices at all sits sourly in her stomach, disgust and childish gratitude swirling into a terrible amalgam that unsettles her bones and prickles her skin.

Finally, he is back, with one of those cardboard multi-cup holders braced upon his flowering palm as though he’s a server at a fine dining establishment. If she were anyone else, looking in from the outside into this strange existence the von Karma disciples live in, the whole picture would probably be comical—this grown man in Classical-inspired courtroom regalia, cravat and all, tiptoeing over potholes and buckled asphalt in a fast food parking lot in an attempt to balance his…

Ice cream. 

He is carrying several containers of ice cream.

BBC Merlin - S5E4 "Another's Sorrow" live blog(-ish)

forgot to post this lol oops

Im not sure where we are or whats happening but thats a very pretty throne room

Oh hey, wasnt she supposed to marry Arthur last(?) season?

I smell a trap/an enchantement

Who tf is that woman

Arthur taking an order from Merlin, I love to see it

Oh my God is that Morgana with an ageing spell?? Is she using the same trick as Merlin??

Omg IT IS HER 👀👀

Im sure Princess Mithian has a good reason to help Morgana???

Oh Arthur, you're walking (riding) straight into a trap ㅡ and meanwhile Morgana will have basically free roam in Camelot? 😭

Oooooh Morgana uses enchanted crows to deliver messages, thats rly cool

Hm, somehow this made Mithian want to warn Arthur/someone? She didnt get far though :(

Merlin knocking??? Thats new lol

Ah so Morganas cover name is Hilde

ik Gaius is thinking logically but plz 😭😭

Gwen is always right, my Queen

I hope Mithian locked the door behind her... although on second thought it probably wouldnt matter either way bc locked doors cannot stop sorcerers

Ok she didnt have to leave it ajar either tho, but she mustve been stressed out 😭

Ooooh shes wearing an enchanted bracelet (that I assume she cant take off?)

This castle either has 50 guards in the halls or none at all, nothing in-between lol

Oh Morgana is coming with them? Interesting. Ig she wants to help getting Arthur killed or at least watch him die

I hope Merlin figures out its her and also that she doesnt realize he's got magic and is Emrys

Gaius pleaaaase stop being so obtuse 😭😭

Arthur is asking for Merlins opinion a lot lately, hes rly come to trust his judgement (despite making fun of his "funny feeling" which is very valid 😭)

Oof Morgana mustve been very on edge with that examination lol but despite Gaius mentioning her strong blood and health theyre not figuring it out aaaah

Arthur plz listen to Sir Leon 🥲

Ooooh Mithian is smart, hell yeah!! Merlin plz dont do anything rash and stupid 🥲

Oh fuck ofc Morganas already onto him

And Arthurs not concerned about who hit Merlin on the head??

Im sure all the knights are very talented swordsmen but leaving Gwaine behind seems... stupid if you ask me

On the topic of knights, we havent seen Mordred those past two episodes 🤔 I think he'll still play a bigger role before the finale hits though, right?

Ughhhh it seems if I pause too long then the server connection breaks 😐😐 this is why DVDs are superior

Always a fan of Gaius using magic ngl

Merlin lock in and wake up man

Atta boy, there we go!

Oh no, theyre already there

Arthur SOME trap awareness please

Too late now

Arthurs just sick of this shit by now

Omg Merlin has earthquake powers, thats so sick

THAT STUPID INTERNET CONNECTION OMG

Ah well, thats a dead end. Hopefully not literally

I love Merlin being Arthurs advisor 🥰🥰

The character development of Arthur is so so good, the King he has become 🔥🔥

Merlin also went through some great character development, hes much stronger and confident, but he knows that Arthur is in great danger and its made him much more serious and less aloof than he used to be :(( so much depends on him and he cant tell anyone besides Gaius and maybe Kilgarrah :((

Whew, another episode with a happy end and even a truce with Odin, yay!! I need to cherish these episodes while I still can lol
