ok but y'all don't understand how amazing this silver medal is to us. we went from a disastrous group stage, losing to japan and spain in quite dishonorable ways, to get our first medal since 2008. we defeated france in their home country, a team we had NEVER won before this olympics, we had our revenge against spain (and what a revenge might i add), and we gave our all in this match, even if we lost ourselves in the second half. but just the fact that we were there, against literally ALL the odds, is already golden. i am so proud of this team and their accomplishments, so, so proud. a prata é nossa 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
yesterday was Clipboard Notes' one year anniversary, so to celebrate I drew a comic of one of my favorite scenes from the fic! ❤️ many thanks again to @emphasis-on-the-oopsie for writing such a lovely story about my favorite doctors
despite their recent breakup, ulrike and maaike are still very close friends who work well as roommates. now that ulrike is bringing her almost-girlfriend candy and the rest of the spin masters around the house more often, maaike may have some interest for another DJ from across the lake on the crumbling isle.
i literally NEVER play with ulrike and maaike, so im excited to play with them in this rotational <3 also maaike in a turtle neck i am BARKING
Falling for Lucy was inevitable, fucking it up was even more inevitable, getting a second chance, though - Kate truly hadn’t expected that. She’s grateful every day for Lucy’s love, for her acceptance, for her quiet support. Her presence doesn’t replace Noah’s, exactly, but Kate has that grounding voice back, one that settles her, that tells her she’s okay exactly as she is. Who doesn’t mind that she can’t always be as expressive and smiley as Lucy so naturally is. Who minds a bit that Kate only drinks out of mason jars, but laughs with her about it, rather than at her. Who sits and watches the ocean uncomplainingly as Kate reads a thousand-page FBI manual in one sitting before going undercover for the first time, resting her feet in Kate’s lap and dozing off next to her.
In which Kate sometimes feels like she's a little to the left, and Lucy loves her through all of it.
God I'm rewatching bits of the 10th movie for fic writing purposes and. That scene with Hina and Ankh by the water eating ice cream together makes me fucking weep honestly.
Because it's so...in that One scene, you can see just how much Ankh has matured in that ten year absence and how when he comes back theres this unmistakable air of kindness to him (in his own still brash way) that didn't use to be there. Hina and Eiji are the ones that brought it out of him, because goddamnit does he care about them the same way they care about him. Hina says shes glad to have him back and he acts like he's surprised, but he really shouldn't be. He's another brother to her, one that she's missed dearly just as much as she missed Shingo when he wasn't around, and just as much as she misses Eiji as well. When she laments about his absence, it's Ankh for once who tries to reassure her that they'll get him back. He's still blunt about it, telling her he knows what hes capable of and reminding her she never gave up on Shingo in a similar situation to this, so she shouldn't do so now either. But in even bothering to try and meet her in the middle, to actually care enough to try and assuage her fears, Ankh proves just why he was missed. He integrated himself so much into this little weird family just by being himself and coming to care for them as well in his own way. Hell even Date says when Goda asks him about fighting alongside a Greeed that "Ankh is one of our own." He's family, the same way they all became family to him too.
And in the end he lets Hina lean on him, quite literally, for support. He tells her he has a plan, that she doesn't need to worry about getting Eiji back, that they just Will. And no matter what happens in the rest of the movie I think that whole scene is just. So important to the growth of both of them, separately and as adoptive siblings to each other.
something about bell’s hells various traumas being a ghost - having it haunt you. and how this story is shaping up to be their slow journey on how to live with it.
i’m gonna cry it’s raining right now and i just passed by a family where both parents were without an umbrella but their kid who couldn’t have been older than like 3-4 was proudly holding this GIANT umbrella whose diameter was as tall (if not taller) as the kid. both the parents were getting absolutely drenched but u could tell the kid was just so happy to have an “adult” task and carry the umbrella themselves and i think that sacrifice is what love is all about
