If Only [only pay attention to ariel part]  

»»———-　Five Years Ago   ———-««

[Y/n] laid in bed smiling as she looked at the necklace around her neck in awe. She hadn’t been able to sleep, her growing feelings for Eric the cuase of said inability to fall asleep properly. She’d never felt this way for anyone before so theses feelings were all but knew to her, as she admired the necklace smiling, she ran her fingers along the ridges of the seashell necklace. She also couldn’t stop thinking about what he wanted to say to her that night. 

“Someones in love.” A voice said, causing her to jump and quickly turn towards the opposite side of the room. “Gabriella!” [Y/n] whisper shouted, looking over at her sister. “I-I am not I have no idea what you’re talking about.” She said, trying to hide it Gabriella her older sister wasn’t convinced at all. 

“Oh, really? The constant sighing the inability to sleep the staring at the necklace that Eric gave you in awe.” Gabriella said, smiling as she looked toards her sister, “You are in love.” She said, grinning ear to ear. [Y/n]’s cheeks turned a bright red, and she tried to hide it undeneath the covers. “I-I..” [Y/n] stammered, nervously her heart racing. 

“Oh, I can’t wait to be an aunt..” Gabriella said jokingly, a squeak erupted from underneath the covers, “Imagine, the adorable children the two of you would make so cute.” She continued, the covers slipped off of [Y/n] revealing her bright red face. The thought of having kids with Eric, a fever dream in her mind. But she didn’t oppose the thought. 

But something like that would never happen right? 

“I can see it now, you walking down the aisle.” Gabriella said, and [Y/n] grabbed her pillow and threw it at her sister. “Stop! It’ll never happen.” [Y/n] said, and her older sister just smiled at her taking the pillow and tossing it back over at her sister. 

»»———-　Five Years Later [Before the Voyage]  ———-««

[Y/n] knew that she should’nt be staying up so late working on a necklace, but she wanted to give him something special. Something similar to something she already had, in fact she was making a necklace made out of a scallop shell. With some sea beads on the string, making a necklace. She remembered, when she was little Gabriella told her something that their mother used to tell her before she passed away. That scallop shell symbolized love, so in doing so she was somewhat confessing her feelings for Eric but not entirely. 

Even though it isn’t exactly the same as the one he gave her, hopefully he would appreciate  it. Yet, she couldn’t help but be tempted not to give him said gift as she finished, he’d given her so much things over the years. And all she was giving him was a cheap necklace made of seashells found on the beach.

»»———-　Five Years Later [Before the Voyage]  ———-«« 

She walked down the hallway and was about to leave the castle, when she walked past Eric’s study and heard his voice in there. Wanting to say hi she walked towards the door, and was about to knock and realzied he must’ve been talking to someone inside. Seeing, that the door was left slightly ajar she peeked through the door and her heart sank to her stomach. 

Seeing a girl with reddish brown hair with braids, and a blue dress getting closer as if they were about to kiss. Shaking her head, she backed away and left the castle. As she walked down the dirt path towards her home, a single tear ran down her cheek. Why couldn’t she just walk up to him and confess her feelings? Why, was it so hard for her to do so. She turned to look back towards the castle, her heart aching as she did so. “If only you could know.” She started to sing, as she walked down the dirt road toward home. 

“The things I long to say.” She sand, as she kicked a rock it falling down the side of the cliff, “If only I could tell you,” She sang, longingly about her feelings for Eric something she wished she could tell him, “What I wish I could convey,” Her heart singing full of yearning for her childhood best friend. 

She continued to sing her heart out, walking down the dirt road past places where Eric and her, once spent time together as children.“It's in my ev'ry glance” She sang, as she stopped at one spot where she remembered when she was little, “My heart's an open book” Smiling softly at the memory of when a six year old playfully kissed, a seven year old Eric on the cheek. 

Smiling warmly at the memory, as she continued to walk down the road. “You'd see it all at once If only you would look.” She continued to sing, “If only you could glimpse,” She continued, the castle becoming more and more distant as she walked away. 

‘He’s so close yet so far.’ 

She thought to herself, and she stopped dead in her tracks. As she looked out towards the see, “The feelings that I feel, If only you would notice, What I'm dying to reveal.” She sang, looking down at the ground, “The dreams I can't declare, The needs I can't deny.” 

“You'd understand them all, If only you would try” 

“All my secrets you would learn them.” She sang, as she imagined her life with Eric by her side, something she could only dream of, “All my longings you'd return them.” Wishing to travel the uncharted waters with her at his side something she belived would never happen. 

“Then the silence would be broken.” 

“Not a word would need be spoken” 

As she continued down the dirt path a smile grew across her lips, at a memory of her and Eric dancing together in the marketplace on her birthday. She remembered how her heart skipped a beat at how close they were their lips inches from touching, “If only it were true,” She sang, as the memory faded away those moments becoming a distant memory now to her.

“If only for a while.” She sang, as she knelt down picking up a flower that resemble the flower that he placed in her hair that day so many years ago. “If only you would notice,” Her voice started to crack, as she let the flower slip from her grasp and get blown away by the wind. 

Her heart ached watching as it gets blown away, “How I ache behind my smile.I-I guess you never will.” She shuddered, as tears brimmed her eyes, “I guess it doesn't show, But if I never find a way to tell you so.” She sang, wiping away the tears brimming her eyes. 

“Oh what I would give.” She sniffled, as more tears threatened to run down her cheeks, “If only you could know.” She sang, as she walked towards her house, “If only.” She sang, as she entered her house closing the door behind her.

You mention that aziraphale gives crowley a tartan thermos and and gives him reasons to live in the 1967 scene for fear the crowley might off himself but then why would he say "you go to fast for me" knowing it would hurt crowley and potentially damage their relationship?

Okay so first off thanks for the ask anon! I had to read this several to think about how I would go about explaining (theorizing?) this. This might be a long one so buckle up everybody! (we wil also be discussing season 2 so if you don't want to read potential theories/spoilers, then please dont read)

First I feel we need to try to understand what Aziraphale meant when he said the infamous line:

When I first read the book, I didn't quite understand what Azi meant by this, and when I first watched the show in 2020 I didn't understand why he decided to talk about their relationship at that moment. It only took me a couple more rewatches and understanding of their characters to realize it's about their relationship but it isn't.

I feel like to uderstand this we need to look at both their characters: Crowley likes to move fast, not only while driving (which Aziraphale is pretending to discus here) but in his day to day life and decisions. We see this time and time again throughout their 6,000 years. Crowley changes his hair and his clothes all the time, he's with the times of humanity and adapts to their new ways and technology that we see no other celestial character can quite acomplish like him. And I think fundementally that boils down to the fact that Crowley gets bored! He gets bored of a hairstyle or style and so he just gets a new one, he gets tired of things and goes and creates mischief. I also think both his innate curiosity and boredom is part of the reason for his fall (he got bored and curious and started hanging out with the wrong people.) I've also noticed unlike Aziraphale who likes "calming" hobbies (which I'll touch on in a bit) Crowley doesnt. He doesn't sit and savor food, he usually only consumes liquids, which can usually be consumed quickly. The only slow hobby he does is sleep, but it seems he's very black and white about it; either sleeping for several years in a row or seemingly not sleeping or sleeping very little.

Aziraphale on the other hand is very old fashioned and likes to take things slow and 'smell the flowers'. He has had the same haircut SINCE THE BEGINNING OF LITERAL TIME! And rarley changes his outfits. He isn't very intune with humanities inventions and latest discoveries. And his hobbies consist of him sitting and enjoying his food bite by bite or sitting down to read a book. I also think Aziraphale is somewhat old fashioned in his thinking. In season one, one of his biggest faults was that he stil inherently wanted to belive that Heaven was fundementally good. We see this show in some of his conversations/arguements with Crowley in the early days where he puts what crowley does down to him just being a demon, and in the argument scene Azi stil cant get over the fact that they are angel and demon.

So what am I getting at? I'm trying to say that I think Azi has realzied their differences, and more specifically, he has figured out how easily Crowley gets bored, and I think at sometime between the 1940s church bombing and the 1967 scene, that he has started to worry that Crowley will eventually get bored of him, or more specifcally, if he was to want and try for a non platonic relationsip with Crowley, that he would get tired of it and move on to something else, leaving Azi who doesn't like change, absoloutely crushed. And I think the reason he's alluding to it when he's handing Crowley the holy water is because he's afraid Crowley has finally grew bored of life itself, and that's the reason he's asking for the holy water.

I also want to point out that the new 1940's scene could change this depending on what happens after the church bombing, but unless one of them tries to make a move (specifically Crowley) I don't understand why Azi would say Crowley is going to fast with their relationship in any other way ONLY.

I also don't think Azi was trying to hurt Crowley, I think it was just weighing heavily on his mind, and when Crowley offered him a ride, he just couldn't really hold the thought in any longer? You know what I mean? It has had at least 20 odd years to marinate in his mind.

Finally, I want to touch on Neil's "Aziraphale has started picking up the pace" line, and I believe this is refering to him coming to the realization that neither side is good, and what side their on should not limit them and their relatioship (like Crowley has discovered for ages now) and is starting to get bored of the way they've been treated and had to keep their friendship secret. Thus his sudden "I thought we carved this out for ourselves"

I hope this wasn't too long, and helped you understand in some way what I was trying to say!

Thoughts about Carlos and Lando? 👀

i have many, many thoughts on them. i was actually messaging back and forth with someone regarding their dynamic up until i fell asleep last night (i'm not sure if they want to be mentioned), and a lot of valuable information and insights were exchanged.

i've already said that if carlos and lando are a thing for realzies i wouldn't be surprised. i think carlos does a bit of a better job at keeping it under wraps, but there are longing looks from the both of them. like... the looks in their eyes are either so loving or so heated that it almost feels too private to witness haha.

additionally, for every obvious look lando gives, theres just as many more subtle ones from carlos. and not as subtle ones too. there are some videos/pictures of carlos just straight up staring at lando.

i guess what i'm trying to say is that i'm sure there is at the very least an undercurrent of tension between them, but they're both (hopefully) emotionally mature grown men and talked it through and might be a thing.

hopefully they are a thing. i have been watching f1 as a gay man for too long to not have queer drivers.

Hi!! (Im so sorry if im annoying u guys, I just like this blog sm ok😭)

I just wanted to say that I have been relatively new to this fandom, since season 1 came out, and it was great! It felt like a space for asexual amd neurodivergent ppl, and I loved all the fanartists and theorists (still do) but after season 2, and I have a confession to make here, I too was on the "anti aziraphale" bus, properly boarded, seated and all. I know I didnt indicate that in the post I made, but I didnt self identify as one, I just "agreed" with what many of the crowd holding those setiments said. Why? My dear fellow, it was simply because of poor self esteem! I related alot to aziraphale, and so seeing those posts, where ppl talked abt traits( he and I share), like his love for his interests, his exaggerated movements, his anxieties, and seeing ppl dismiss them, or make fun of them, or call him "an emotional idiot" as that one lovely person said, well it felt like looking in a mirror, because those were the exact same things I said to myself! I told myself all those things, that I didnt deserve forgiveness from ppl I loved, when I made mistakes, I told myself that I should "tone down" my excitement for my interests, and the rest. I found myself mentally taking notes, and altering my behaviour, after reading those posts, bc hey, I hate myself for having those traits, and it looks like other ppl hate this one character for having those traits too, better "shape up" and "do better" yknow?

I stopped following thise blogs, but I still seeked the posts out. Why? Bc it felt "good". It felt like my negative self talk was being validated. It felt like I "finally" found posts that wouldnt "mince words" and be as mean, and rude as they possibly could be to him, because that was "what he, and anyone else like him deserved." (Im not saying that the ppl who made those posts said that, im saying that I made myself believe that I deserved that)

Maybe I shouldnt have internalized what the posts said. Maybe I shouldnt even care all that much abt a single character, I mean obviously the ppl who made those posts werent thinking about me were they? They werent targetting me, so why did I feel all that much. It didnt matter how much I rationalized it, at the end if the day I was making myself miserable, but it felt familiar, so I kept at it

I found this blog, and it felt.. so surreal. Like ppl were defending aziraphale? Ppl were giving him, grace? What? And then I read the analysis and responses that u guys gave, and realized that I also had biases, and I found myself giving more empathy to aziraphale, and then I found myself extending that same empathy to myself. I also started going to therapy also, and I realzied that no, I made mistakes, but I am human, forgivable, that my interests arent things to hide, but rather things that make me happy, and that I shouldnt be harsh to myself bc of that. It all progressed slowly, but I could feel myself becoming, happier. I didnt hide my excitement, I didnt tone down my "exaggerated" movements. I started treating aziraphale's character with love and lo and behold, I found myself loving myself too.

I have bad days, I still do. But they are lesser in number now. Whats the point of this long ass ask? Well, I want u to know that u guys are essentially teaching ppl to be more empathetic towards others and sometimes towards themselves, by being being empathetic towards aziraphale. U are telling people like me, indirectly ofc, to love who we are, and to give ourselves grace. And that while aziraphale (and ppl like him) maybe flawed, that shouldnt warrant hate, but rather understanding. U guys are wonderful, and I promise u, u guys are helping❤️

Im sorry to whoever that person was that left, im sorry that they were harassed as I am sure, those werent ur intentions. But what I am trying to say is that u are not making this fandom more toxic. U are helping people. U guys are a breath of relief in the fandom. Pls remember that.

(Sorry if this is too long to read, or too emotional, ive been in a bit of a mood I suppose, and being vulnerable like this is terrifying but agsjsgkahsbs what can one do, have a great day!🤗)

My dear, I'm so humbled to read this. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. As an autistic person, watching Aziraphale ever since 2019 has helped me unmask a lot, so I totally understand how the bad criticism towards him may have pushed you into masking yourself. It does hurt 🫂

I'm so happy that we've helped you on your journey and that we even helped you seek therapy (everyone should and every time a friend tells me I helped them get there I feel like I won in life). This is what we aim for here in this space, this is what makes it all worth it.

Thank you for the reassurance, it is very much needed sometimes. We want to fight toxicity, not contribute to it, and feedback like yours is very much needed to know we're on the right path. We hope to bring comfort for those who are feeling harmed by the situation.

And of course thank you SO MUCH for sharing your feelings with us, this is the juice we need to keep going 🩶

And finally: remember that you are and will always be good enough and that you deserve better. And no matter what, be yourself! Good luck and we're glad to have you on our train 🥰

The v cool @carrie-tate ​asked about my tickle headcanons of Teruki (EVERYONE HERE SUSH IT’S <3 <3 h i m <3) in This Asky because of This Post and I shall answer because Teru is one of the most interesting and fun charaters to me so! Let’s gooo!!

🦁 Teru’s Headcanons 🦁

(Teru's new hair reminds me of a lion cub so that is the emoji of today VWHGWYWGW)

He is just so *incoherente noises*. This guy has just so much Vibes I can’t take it

Tickling someone? YES. Being tickled? Absolutely yes. He is perfect for everything and that is a fact.

First of all, Teruki is a hell of a ler. Not only because he knows how to look for sweet weak tickle spots and has teases dripping freely from his lips before the person can even realize what is happening, his attentive eyes actively searching for everything that makes the bean that is being tickled flustered and giggly and just latching on those things until the person is lost admist laughter and tickly tingles.

(Mob lost the count of the amount of times Teru would manage to make him squeal tickling spots that he isn’t even aware he was ticklish in the first place)

But, anyway, he is one of the biggest lers ever because he. is. so. smug.

He is very good at making people a mess of giggles and he knows that. And he knows that you know that he knows that. So, the entire time attacking someone with clawing fingers and distracting pokes he will just have That Smile. The Smile. The Smug, Teasy, Playful smile that automatically makes shivers run across the your spine and makes giggles bounce on your throat.

He doesn’t have a very good poker face because of that, btw. Mah boy can’t pretend that he didn’t realzie he was tickling someone by accident or feigning innocence for his LIFE

Teru doesn’t do a lot of antecipation too. He is more of a:

            “Hmm. I think I am going to tickle you.”

            “Wha-”

And then give the person no time to process his words or run away sdfghgfdsdfg

EXCEPT when it comes to Shigeo. Because he is extremely cute trying to not titter and yelp every time Teru decides to tease him w anttecipation by lightly - very, very lightly - skittering his fingers on his torso and wondering out loud about “What tickle spot should he gave his especial attention today?~’

Talking about cute and soft things, Teru is an absolute SOFTIE. Yes, he is an evil, teasy, smug, playful and meanie ler who can and will use all his tickly power (both metaphorically and literally because no, he is not above using his powers to help him tickle someone sdfghjhgf) but he is WEAK for cute things. He will forever deny it but making someone just... laugh is very nice. It’s fun. It feels like he is able to make something important, to impact someone’s live positively even without his powers.

Now, now, talking about adorable things, don’t even get me started on Teruki as a Lee. Because ohhh gosh.

Oooohhh gosh

Before everything I 100% agree with your Teru’s in a Lee Mood headcanons and they are *chef kiss* fabulous, perfection, incredible absolutely amazing.

Now picture with me: Mob in a Ler Mood and being too shy to do something about it and Teru realizing. And he wants Mob to loosen up a bit more! He wants him to just feel free to be playful and silly with no worries

So he decides to be a gremlin.

Teru will act a bit like the way he is when in a Lee Mood, but with less embarassement. He will be stretching all the time, wearing crop tops and asking for Mob’s opinion, tapping his own fingers on his stomach or sides, laying on Shigeo’s lap and putting his hands behind his head, sometimes even giving Shigeo a poke or two to show he would be okay w a tickle fight in that moment.

And then Mob (and here I am heavily LOOKING at Otomiya’s idea of Mob tickly “”power”” building up until 100%) will finally attack and Teru IMMEDIATELY will go from a grinning come-on-tickle-me-I-dare-you to NONONONOWAITWAITPLEASEPLEASEWAIT in like half of a second.

That man can’t take what he dishes out AT ALL. If someone gives him a single one (1) jab on his side and he is falling on the floor he is smiling like crazy he is pleading for mercy he is ded.

Maybe it’s because he was so used to being feared and looked upon during his entire life before his fight with Shiego but the idea of someone being silly? Tickling him and being teasy and having fun and paying attention to him and not his powers his reactions and smiling and caring makes him very, very, veeeery flustered. And extremely giddy. And at least 100% more ticklish because holy gosh-

99,9% of the times he is tickled he was almost sure he was melting and honestly by the awed way Shigeo looks at him when he is tickling the blonde maybe that is still a possibilty SDFGHJKMJNHB

He has ticklish elbows. Mob can tap-tap his way from his wrist to his elbows and he will giggle and snort his head out. Sorry that is the true I don’t make the rules.

#743 - This is Fine. We're Fine

Ha haaa, what do you MEAN it's already the middle of September!? What do you mean my 9-day vacation is over! What do you MEAN it scampered away, just like that!? hee hEE HA Ha hOo HOO…

This is one of those pages I had to make a lot of edits afterwards! Atari does a phenomenal job always, but sometimes I need to modify things for the tone. And I'm not an artist! So you can imagine how that goes.

The biggest thing? I said put Lydia in a tutu. Atari put (him?) in a bowtie and vest. What to do! Amirite? I just gave her some eyelashes. BOOM! Female character. That's all it takes. Disney's been doing it for decades. I initially considered just putting "Lynel, the Baker". But it didn't fit what I wanted. So you get Lydia, the now very buff florist. Enjoy your buff rabbit pecs. Somebody out there likes this. (It could be you!)

Starfield released. To much!…. fanfare? Everybody was hype AF for this game when it was announced. Now it looks like it's the laughing stock of the year. Definitely makes me feel bad for all the developers, but nothing about it looks like something I care to play, y'know? It's like Fallout or Skyrim, but.. less interesting. Idk how you do that with space but here we are.

Speaking of space! Sea of Stars. I got to play it for exactly 1 hour at a friend's house. Just like old times. When's the last time you played some game at "a friend's house"? Do you even have friends?? NERD.

That's a tangent. I GOT TO PLAY IT FOR AN HOUR! Very Mario RPG, Earthbound, Star Ocean, Secret of Mana vibes. I'll probably delve in and play it for realzies when I finish up BG3. I hear more mechanics come in down the line, but I've also heard it plays everything very straight. In what I played, the plot and dialogue was so straightforward I was predicting what the characters would say next and my friend was laughing every time I got it right.

Anyway, enjoy! Everyone's fine. This is fine.

[dont-leafmealone]

so i was trying to draw Something with your fiction in mind acutally its probs Canon lmao

but then when i was Sketching i sadly realzied IDK HOW TOKLO LOOKS??

i can imgaine it but i dont acutally know 😭 and i went to part 1 to find Something but idk?? do u have like Something thats close to how he looks?? cuz if not i might need to cut him off 😔 or make Something up but like its easier

like did i miss Something??

Good question! So there's not actually a "canon" way for Toklo to look (he's not my OC and MuffinLance likes to leave it up to the imagination) so I don't describe him much but the version i have in my head is

kind of stocky, just a little taller than Zuko or jet; a lot of muscle and a pretty round face

lightish blue eyes similar to sokka's (not as light as Katara's or as dark as Bato's)

skin tone probably most similar to Sokka's as well

hair like Hakoda's, shoulder length with a wolf tail, but Toklo only has one braid in front. Also very fluffy.

Tends to wear fewer layers since he runs a little warm. Doesn't feel the cold as much.

smiles a lot.

One thing I'll add is the illustrations of Kavik from the Yangchen novels look a lot like how I imagined Toklo. Hope this was helpful!

[aishu-no-melody]

Can you please talk about Roy Mustang for me? I'd love to hear your interpretation of him? What do you think of him in 03 vs brotherhood/manga?

Ok grab a snack lol.

So to preface I have to say that I don't like Brotherhood in general and my opinions on that play a part in my opinion of Roy. He's my absolute favorite character like I have a VHS tape from like 2005 where I took my sister's VCDs and literally took up half the tape of a Roy montage lol. But these are my opinions and why I think he has the superir portrayl in 03.

Keep in mind though I have seen Brotherhood once, havent read the manga in years, but ive seen 03 and COS SO SO SO many times.

So I feel like the overall theme of Brotherhood is "military and armestris good. Ishvalain immigrants bad." And the military in 03 is painted so much differently. It's more realistic and they drive home the point that the military fucked up and show us that Roy really has not been a great person. I mean in 03 we see him try to kill himself twice over the fact that he's killed so many people and especially he's haunted by the innocent children. When he kills Winrys parents he realzies hes become so absolutely immoral and rotten that he has killed his own people and gets turnt and tries to take his own life. He's shady, there's that scene where he threatens to blackmail child Edward/expose him and Al (it's early in the season but I can't quite remember what for) yet he tries to shelter them from how harsh reality is. He thinks by becoming Furher everything will be okay now, he will be forgiven, and the country will be better. Long story short he has his own agenda that sounds great on paper but in reality, at least in the first like half of the series, is impossible.

The growth of his character in 03 is huge and they kind of stealthily plant the seeds early on. He's no longer gunning for the position of Furher because of his own selfish reasons, he's actively seeking revenge for Hughes which makes him start to unravel.

Obviously the character of Pride/Bradley deviates from the source in 03. Actually all the homonculous and their personal foes are directly related to the people they're fighting. Edward/Sloth etc. The whole relationship of Bradley and Roy and also the characterization of Bradley as Pride is very deliberate - Roy fights Bradley and is severely wounded/almost dies fighting Pride. The entire series Roy has so much pride and so much of an ego that it's destroying him. He is literally forced to face his own deadly sin and to kill his own ego.

Ultimately he kills Bradley but in doing so his life unravels and he does not get to be the hero, the savior, the one that fixes everything which his pride previously convinced him he was capable of doing. In COS we find him isolated, depressed and a shell of his former self, waiting for Edward to return, crippled and alone. Even by the end when he saves the day in the fancy little air balloon, he still cannot protect Edward and looses him forever. He looses absolutely everything and the director of COS even said in some kind of interview or something that after the movie Roy still would never hold the same power he once did and have that same respect. So at the end of the day - he has thrown everything he's ever had away for good because of his pride. He has no happy ending. He redeems himself to the viewer (unless you're me and the second you first see him go 😍 zaddy I can fix him) but by then he is too far gone - he is both an awful person and a martyr. We know his heart ultimately is in the right place by the end but his war crimes and atrocities still exist and his failure is still very evident. If you've never seen it, look up the 10 of Swords tarot card - while I'm pretty sure they did not purposely do it, the meaning of the card and ESPECIALLY the imagery of the original card is so so accurate and I think the best summary of his character. Look up Labyrnthos or something like that their summary of it is the best.

So I feel like in 03 he has far more depth and his character arc is so, so, much richer.

To discuss this I also have to get into his relationship with the Elric brothers, mainly Edward. He and Edward are parallels of each other - both of them are arrogant and oblivious and in trivial pursuit of righting their wrongs, when in reality there is nothing they can do to rectify either situation or take back the damage they've done. Roy obviously does care for the Elric brothers but does not know how to show it properly and ends up hurting them more than helping them, he basically put them into a world that destroys them - Edward loves his brother but can't outwardly emote it in the same way Al can and ends up literally destroying Al's everything when he convinces him to help attempt their mom's life.

Edward hates people who use others for their own personal gain or for selfish reasons, he hates arrogance and hatred itself. He rightly identifies all these qualities in Roy who he appears to hate, when in reality Edward tried to bring back his mom knowing there's a chance he and his brother could die, he is also extremely arrogant and has no problem using all the militaries money and resources to do what he wants yet he cannot fathom why Roy, who sticks his neck out for him many times, gets angry with him or why some Ishvallans people are offended that he is in the military.

They have some distantly codependent relationship because they both realize they need each other - Roy needed to recruit Edward initially to show off, he also realizes Edward knows valuable information he uses to complete his goal, but also sees someone who needs some form of guidance and discipline. Edward needs Roy so he can access the power and resources he provides but he also at the end of the day, after leaving the military and coming back randomly and literally going AWOL, Roy (AND his team) does not abandon him.

So knowing that Edward is loyal, Roy assumes in the last episode when he runs into Edward on the street looking fine as hell, that Edward will join him in his battle with pride. Roy has to go into battle now alone which it seems he didn't apparently take into account and because of this he barely beats Bradley and almost dies. Edward finally accepts that Roy isn't 100% gutted and sees the good in him and finally becomes aware that the military he chose to join is corrupt, therefore so is he - he doesn't think what Roy is going to do will solve anything yet he goes and fights Dante to basically accomplish the same thing. You finally see that deep down they did always care about each other. When they say goodbye it is like the completion of both character arcs, at least for the series itself.

In COS they still follow the same path in that, yes, did they accomplish their goals? For sure, but now Roy -who succesfully killed Bradley - is demoted and exciled and miserable, and Edward -who got his brothers body restored - is alone and has absolutely nobody who understands him and is stuck that way for life.

This relates to my over feelings about Roy and his character arc because it adds to the depth of it. Their relationship is integral to it and would not be the same at all without it. I didnt talk much about Brotherhood because its been so long I don't want to mess up the facts on, but the one thing that plays into my opinion is that in BH Roy does get what he wants and I dont like that. Roy does not desevre that unfortunately and it is way boring because its like.....oh....ok? What a total shocker -_- VS Wow after ALL this, he fails even though we all think hes going to succeed at first. I also like how Edward is portrayed in 03 way better and all that ties into it to but that's another topic itself.

Sneak Peek (Seriously! For realzies!!)

“How can I help you, lover?” he asked without turning his head to her.

“In so many ways…”

And then he clicked shut the last plastic container, and waltzed to put it in their fridge, turning around and leaning on the appliance to face her. His hair was getting even longer, and it was adorable the way it feel on his eyes when it was loose like that, it made him look younger, and not for the first time, Kory wished, somehow, they had met before.

“I’ll help better if you give examples.”

“Hmmm,” she made, walking towards him with purpose, but everything she did was to hook one finger, just one, of the rubber band of his trousers. “Sometimes I wish you were Tamaranean, and I could just make you see what I have in mind.”

He framed her face with his hands, and Kory’s eyes fluttered shut, he was so tender and so passionate at the same time. She had been tense all day worrying about Rachel’s new friends that she didn’t like; and the calling she had been hearing from the stars. Worried about Gar and how quiet he would get as if he was hiding inside himself; worried about Donna doing god knows what with Dawn in France; worried about the man holding her because nothing that good could last… And then he touched her and poured his love over her, and suddenly… It all just didn’t seem so hopeless. The calling from far away fell silenced by his presence, and the worries withered under the heat of their passion.

“Something tells me I don’t need to be Tamaranean to have an idea…”

When he was there, and she was with him, everything felt simple. No more complicated than the few moves necessary to make him want to devour her on the kitchen table.

Kory smirked.

“What if what I have in mind is making love in the sky?”

He chuckled and spread butterfly kisses on her nose, eyes and forehead.

“I’ve told you, lover, I’m not risking being seen butt literally turned to the moon by Uncle Clark or God forbid, Diana...”

A bubble of laughter, or maybe just excitement, or even, maybe, just love, started to multiply in her stomach turning into an amalgamation of giddy bubbles, while she continued to tease him. Her free hand barely avoiding his skin, as she thread between his arm and his torso, flatting her palm flat against the fridge, pretending she was bout to press him against it, but not quite, her toes wiggling to rub against his. Her finger still playing with his waistband.

“Why would they be looking?” She probed, it was a silly joke between them. But to be fair, the first time she offered, he actually looked like he was considering.

haihai cutie ! ! i come on ur blog so often now jus' to look at ur header n' gush over it eeee sua x dan heng my otp for realzies (〃ω〃)♡ ! i'm rllie curious to know how dan heng realized his feelings for you ! n' how did he deal with them at first ? please do share if u're up for it hehe :3:3

hello my sweet coco bean! waaahhh that makes me so super giddy >\\\< it’s definitely one of my favorite comms so i’m happi that u like it 2 !!

ah okay this is gonna sound soooo very cheesy but for dan heng it was love at first sight — or more like interest at first sight :3 hmm, like the kind where ur mind wanders and u find that person to be the one u’re thinking about! yep yep that was the case for my blushy boy hehe~ lol it kinda got worse for him as time went on, to the point that it was vv obvious and that’s when i swooped in and charmed him into a relationship ૮₍ ´ ꒳ `₎ა so! that’s the story of our start ♡

[bonesandthebees]

glass time! after my fun not so lil but pretty short camp!

he warm

the way you deacrube thisngs GOD MY SPELLING SUCKS describe things is so good like the oil line is like idk it tickles my brain

wilbur would be a bad pillow probably you would have to get a good spot probably

gasp we must tell philza minecraft and technoblade.

wilbur is so *eyeballs him aggressively and just waves my hands around*

also like the switch from pythia to wilbur the moment he recalled he didn’t have his blindfold on is like aiwjhrwj

im still super convinced that there is no curse like everything points to the fact that the curse is literally not a thing and more of a scare tactic to keep up the pythias image but yk im tired sleep has not been plentiful

wilbur when he realzies his eyes have emotion and he’s just a silly guy who isbnot just an object 😨

blindfold on back to pythia pew pew pew

tommy is such a silly guy like look at him go telling thsibstory and defending my favorite lil guy wilbur

just saying if death is kristins realm wilbur i think you’re cool as a cucumber king but yk maybe im just mad confused all the time

which is also me most times

do we know what kind of bird is in his chest like metaphorically like idk i keep wondering even though that isn’t important what so ever

“Wilbur didn’t want Tommy to leave, but the Pythia knew he had to face the consequences of his actions at some point” THIS LINE IS SO COOL BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE SEPARATION WILBUR HAS FOR HIMSELF BETWEEN WHO HE WAS AND WHO JE HAS BEEN MADE TO BE LIKE DIRECTLY AND THAT HE LITERALLY HAS THESE TWO SEPARATE PARTS OF HIM AND IDK I THOUGHT IT WAS A NEAT LINE

he is telling him about to the visidosngjeekjdejejrthehtheht im a normal person

and then here is me sitting here with my vague tired rboughts about howb the visions arent to prevent the future bexause goyncant really change what the gods destined to be your fateb(presumably) sorry for the spelling errors life is rough anyway but yeah like the visions are to help prepare and i think he gets visions only about stuff that will directly affect him so like that’s why now that he is in the temple he doesn’t get visions about the palace or the government because that won’t concern him at this moment not how it would before sorry im rambling my brain sometimes just has thoughts

HE CALLED TOMMY HAI EBST FRIEND

hes so i love him like he’s so tiny in my brain just a lil guy whom i wish to put in my pocket

and he’s wilbur when he talks about the things he knows aboutbtommy and just when they do things that show they know each other well that others might not know butbthebpythia at other times and he’s so silly

so that vine tattoo is deffo from wilburs murder attempt right or maybe not sometimes im delulu

hes wilbur again

glad i know what machination means thanks ap lang

WOOO GOVERNMENT TAKE DOWN WOOOOO

i love that he’s just wilbur when he realizes that people care or that he has feelings or when he’s just human because he is and like the more he feels human the more he feels like wilbur and okay no more rambling s

anyways this chapter was nice im glad i finally got to sit down and read it you just always find a way to draw me in with this work like oh my god it’s so rheifjsjejsjdjd okay now i can go read what everyone has been saying!

- 🪿

thank you!! I was so happy with the whole oil metaphor throughout the chapter

ngl handshaking wilbur there I've been told by people that I'm a terrible pillow because I'm so bony.

:) so many pythia to wilbur switches this chapter

😨 <- wilbur's face fr

...actually the kind of bird is important. the bird gets talked about a lot in the next upcoming chapter :)

YEAHHH I'm being very careful with midsentence wilbur/pythia switches because I don't want to overuse them, but in the moments I can I think they hit really well

oooo a theory I can't comment on bc I don't comment on theories ooooo

lol the vine tattoo will be explained eventually

wilbur is when he feels the most human yes!!

thank you i'm so glad you enjoyed!!!

Growing up with a Slyterin

Cedric x fem slyterin reader

(This was a draft i forgot i had i contuined it and tell me what you think)( Also ik cedric’s family woukdnt do that but i js need some drama 😭😏)

The diggory and y/l/n house were always neck to neck with each other. The Diggory household was always showing off how perfect Cedric was while the Y/l/n house hold would show off there prefect Yn. So when both children got into Hogwarts they were always trying to top everything which ended up making them rivals. Cedric became a prefect so Yn became a prefect, Cedric became popular so Yn became popular, Cedric was chosen for the triwizarding cup so Yn was not. Of course she was upset and felt even more pressured by her parents to be the best . It was to much for her. She just wanted to relax and be her so one day during the holidays she sneaked off into the local garden a place you wouldn’t be caught dead in but it calmed you down. And you had a couple minutes until your violin lesson that you hated. So just laying down and feeling the flowers around you noticing some animals by you hear a voice say. “ You know I’d never think a slyterin like you would ever know about this place”. You sit up shocked and turn to see the person you hate the most Cedric Diggory. “Hello Diggory aren’t you suppose to be training for the triwizarding thingy ” you say with a annoyed face. “Nope, I’m a pretty ambitious person but trainings is a bit to hard for my liking” he replied looking at the flowers on the ground near where yn sat with a smile. “ I can understand, no matter how hard I try my parents still keep putting so much pressure on me I just couldn’t deal with it so I came out here”. Now with silence filling up the air Cedric spoke up . “I know our parent want us to be rivals and everything just because there rivals I don’t really like it”. “ I just wish this rivalry didn’t get pushed onto us , who knows could’ve been good friends”. Yn didnt think terrible of Cedric, they guinely thought of him as a good guy. “ Yeah i guess your not too bad yourself diggory” you say standing up. Cedric js gave himself a chuckle as he watched you adjust your hair then he noticed a flower on top of your head. He reached for it as you were confused on what he was doing. He picked up the flower and put it in your hand. “Thank you” You said inspecting the beautiful sunflower. Cedric checks his watch and realzies he has to go at that moment. “Hey i gotta go help out my father I always do at 2” He says. “ Oh well good-bye cedric see you around” You respond. He just waves as he walks off. And as you stare at his figurge as he leaves you realize an imporant detail he said. If you rember right he said he helps his father at 2 and as you looked at you phone to check what time it is you knew you were screwd.Your violin lessons start at 2 and it was 2:05 . So you run off hoping your parents dont realize you are late and you have just made friends with the “enemy”.

TOH X LOU AU 

LOU2, Ellie and Dina but it’s Hunter and Edric

TW: Homophobic Lanuage

Hunter watched Edric dancing in the crowd. He watched as Edric swooped girls off their feet. spinning them around, dipping them, making them feel like princess. He took a sip of his drink sighing, he shouldn’t feel so jealous. 

“He’s putting on quiet a show.” Viney chuckled joining Hunter. 

“Yeah he is. I give it a week and you two will be back together.” He nudged her. 

“Oh no, trust me, that is over for real this time.” Viney leaned against the counter top, “Why? did he say something to you?” 

“No, I just mean-” 

“Hunter! Hey!” Edric rushed over to Hunter “What took you so long?” he took Hunter’s drink, downing it to refrshed himself. 

“I’ve been here for a while.” Hunter felt the blush rising with how close Edric was to him. 

“Hey edric.” Viney waved 

“Viney.” Edric gave her a smile, “Come on Hunty.” He grabbed the blonde by his hand leading him to the dance floor. 

“Hey! Remember we’re on morning portal!” Viney reminded them 

“Yes ma’am!” Edric gave her a salute. 

The two boys made it to the center of the dance floor. Edric grabbed Hunter’s hands, placing them on his waist, while he drapped his arms over the blonde boy’s shoulders. The slow danced, Hunter awkwardly trying to avoid eye contact with the smug Blight boy. 

“Hey I have a serious question for you, how bad do I smell right now?” 

Hunter chuckled and leaned in to smell the boy, “Liiiike, a hot pile of gargabe.” 

“Oh well in that case.” Edric rubbed his face against Hunter’s, both of them laughing, as they drew even closer while dancing. 

Hunter started to feel eyes on them, feeling like the spotlight was right on them for the whole town to see. 

“Every single girl in this room is staring at you..” Hunter commented.

Edric leaned in close to Hunter’s ear, pulling their bodies closer “maybe they’re staring at you.” 

“they’re not...” 

“Maybe they’re jealous of you.” 

Hunter felt Edric’s breathe in his ear, send shivers down his back, “I’m...just a guy..not a threat..” 

“Oh Hunter..” Edric pulled back a bit, smirking, moving Hunter’s long strand of hair out of his face “I think..” he trailed his hand to Hunter’s cheek cupping it, “They should be terrfied of you.” He leaned in closing the gap between their lips. 

Hunter frozen up a bit in surpised, but slowly relaxed into the kiss when he realzied it wasn’t a dream. He kissed back pulling Edric even closer as they cotninued to dance. Edric broken the kiss, giving Hunter a bit smile, the blonde still trying to process what just happened, but a goofy smile spreading across his face. 

“Hey!” An annoyed voice came up from behind them, “This is a family event.” Jacob scoffed at them. 

“Okay sorry.” Edric rolled his eyes, grabbed Hunter’s hand walking away. 

“Remember next time there’s kids around.” 

“Oh and like you’re setting a great example.” Edric scoffed at him. 

“Oh just was this town needs, another loud mouth, fag.” 

Hunter stopped dead in his track, quickly turning around fumeing. 

“What the FUCK did you just say?!” He stormed towards Jacob

“Hunter no!” Edric stood in front of him

“HEY!” Darius rushed over shoving Jacob “Get the fuck out!” 

“Get your hands off of me!” Jacob growled at Darius.

“Enough!” Eda rushed over with Raine, getting between the two older men “That’s enough. You.” She turned to Jacob “outside, let’s go for a walk” 

“What about them?” 

“Worry about yourself!” 

“Come on, lets go” Raine ushered Jacob out with Eda. 

Darius turned to Hunter “Are you ok-” 

“WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!” 

Now all eyes were really on them. 

“Look he had no right-” Darius started 

“AND YOU DO?!” Hunter glared “I don’t need your FUCKING help Darius.” 

Darius flinched a bit, opening his mouth but quickly closing it. 

“Hey..” Edric held Hunter’s arm “Come on..” 

Hunter left with Edric, Darius watching the two leave. He sighed running his fingers through his hair, how is he suppose to fix this?
