“It was good for a while, being empty. I didn’t hurt anymore. But as time went on, it was like I could hear myself from far away, begging for permission to come back.”

— Myra McEntire

“I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait, and you take away the very essence of who I am. You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize, my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my deep awareness of others’ pain, and my passion for it all.”

Do you happen to have any advice on looking for art to hang on walls? Originals, prints, doohickeys; I find a lot of antique malls tend to have stuff for shelf display and not a lot of wall decor. I thought you might have a few tips?

Stuff on walls? That's where I'm a viking!

Facebook marketplace, estate sales, auctionninja.com, etsy, and eBay are my primary sources for finding wall decor. I usually only find original prints at antique malls if that is what the booth specializes in.

But also consider branching out. If you are into shelf decor, get some wall shelves!

I have found that antique malls are less likely to have shelving, but antique *fairs* are a different matter.

If you like a pre-1960s style, wooden shelves are in abundance, from teacup/saucer shelves, to various one-offs:

Salvage is also fun to use to display things -- see my printer tray above and church pew hymnal racks:

Back on the art side -- I highly recommend hunting down artists you enjoy and commission from them or buy their prints, pins, etc:

You can also look on etsy or do a web search for places that offer high quality scans of public domain art. A lot of museum websites also have high quality downloads of their collections. Print and frame these yourself.

And don't forget, you can slap anything on a wall, from the functional to the... uh, well, a hand scythe *is* also functional, technically...

Hope this gives you ideas. But when it boils down to it, estate sales and marketplace have been my best sources.

I keep thinking why 7,980 yen? It’s such a specific number? At least to me, and we know that twst loves to hide cute facts and trivia in everything they do.

And then I noticed the “7” and wondered…what if that meant book 7 episode 98…

Oh… 😭😭💞💞

It’s when Malleus hatched, Lilia’s happiest moment. 🥹💚

What if?? I cry?

Edit: I forgot to mention, but every time Hikaru Midorikawa (Lilia’s Va) held Baby Malleus; he said he wanted to cry from the feelings he got 🥹🥹💞💞

Every time he held him, the soundtrack from that scene would play 😭😭💚💚 when’s hes happily holding Baby Malleus.

Finally got a chance to listen to the Diasomnia dorm song and im sorry.... I must lay down for the next 3-5 business days.

People who insist that Malleus isn't Lilia's son are so cruel wtf. Like even the devil wouldn't be that heartless. 💀 Aside from the absolute canonically explicit fact that dragon eggs only hatch through the unconditional love of a parent, Malleus internalizes that Lilia was practically the only good thing in his life while growing up. Almost everything he did was in anticipation that Lilia would be proud of him the next time they met.

The poor thing hated his life. Aside from his grandmother who rarely spent time with him, nobody in that godforsaken country ever really cared for him as more than a breathing crown. All he knew, and everything he held on to, was that Lilia fed him, played with him, dressed him, taught him all sorts of things, told him stories of the outside world, and always welcomed him in his humble little home.

Lilia loved him more than anyone ever loved him. To take even that truth away from him is beyond cruel.

Likewise, Lilia absolutely thinks of him as his son, and words need not be uttered out loud. Action speaks louder than words. Otherwise he wouldn't have thought that Malleus' hatching (and finding Silver!) was his happiest moment in life. He would never have spent his life never losing hope that Malleus could be born. He would never have spent the remainder of his life risking it repeatedly, just for the short moments that he could spend with the boy.

Just because they don't carry the same blood, or that they don't share a surname, doesn't mean their bond is inferior to those who do.

I love rambling as you can see

Let me be a little vampire. Oh how i miss it.

Aka brass thinks about Gabe spits, a boy who loved peter pan and then was faced with never growing up.

hey so we put your morally grey character in a fandom. yeah half the fanbase makes them into a perfect angel who did nothing wrong and the other half depicts them as a cartoonishly evil villain who hurts people for fun. no we dont know how to explain that people can do bad things for good reasons or good things for bad reasons. sorry man

One of my friends started playing Twisted and im happy kick my little leggies for introducing them to this beautiful but painful story.

They picked Malleus at the beginning bc they liked his vibe. Oh baby. Oh baby no.

I should point out this person loves Astarion from BG3

Been thinking about bodies in Hazbin and then saw a friend get an anon about how he draws Vaggies body and like....

I headcanon exorcist all have the same body type as an asethetic thing but also control. You MUST look like this. You CANT stand out. If we are looking at the exorcist specifically, I always headcanoned that it was more of a conform thing.

So yea, I can imagine when Vaggie falls and meets Charlie and gets the love she deserves that she gains a bit of curves. She no longer has to conform to Adam or whoevers standards. She gets to let her body be her body and shes a curvy and loved and thats that.

PS: I also headcanon that this is also why Angel is so skinny. Its a Val control thing. Plus all the drugs but lets be real. Val is selling this skinny androgynous twink look and with what we have seen from his control of Angel, I could see my boy have very disordered eating and body issues.

PSS: I headcanon Husk as having this beer belly dad body situation. Broad shoulders, gut, hairy man.
