can we get some more griffy content 🥹 literally anything will make me beyond happy
Finney teaches Griffin how to play baseball in his spare time because Griffin see’s Finn as a big brother and looks up to him!
Finn also teaches Griffin how to braid hair! And make pancakes since,
I headcannon that while Finn is definitely the older brother in the Blake household, he’s also a parental figure to Gwen and Griffin. Making sure Gwen’s hair is braided, making sure they’ve eaten, and have their homework done.
One of my fave people in catalan folklore is sant jordi (saint george) who saved the princess but when the king asked him to marry her he was like naaah and left forever. icon
I can't explain why, but any of the Octonauts could've said this line, and it would've been good. But to me, the fact that Kwazii said it makes it PERFECT <33
I know I say this every time I read my own work, but Speak for the Dead really is the best chapter in ILM.
“Well, you know for the first time in a long time this actually feels like fall?”
Jane Romero was smiling at him, sitting propped up against a tree in what had sort of become her usual ‘therapy’ corner in the past almost two weeks. And she was right, it did feel like fall. The air wasn’t as sharply cold as normal, and honestly ‘sharply’ cold was a nice break in and of itself when it happened—usually the weather here was somehow just cold—cold with no adjectives attached. But today it was nicer. It was the kind of waiting fall cold that came when it wasn’t biting outside yet, and it was almost pleasant. A promise of a change in the seasons. Tapp wondered why.
The trees hadn’t started to change color with it, or fall in piles, and as far as he’d gathered there weren’t seasons in here. Everything looked the same. Tall, thick woods, undergrowth and moss and rocks and fallen logs, a slight breeze on and off. Dark sky overhead, full moon, at this point long since throwing off everyone’s idea of what day and night were supposed to mean. All the usual. Except, somehow, the kind of cold in the weather. Who knew, maybe nothing had changed. Maybe they had just started to feel better.
LIKE. Those opening lines mean nothing but environmental flavor when you read them. But they’re a lead in for the thesis of the entire chapter.

Like that’s it. Speak for the Dead is about a lot of things, but at its heart it’s about healing. It’s about forgiveness and healing, that exists between the living and the dead. It’s about how you can only speak for them, by speaking for them. Not how you want to punish yourself or live for them, but by how you know they would forgive you, or would ask you to live. Very little other than exchanges of information happen, but so much happens at the same time. All of it significant. It’s hope. It’s about how Tapp (and Meg) have spent every day here fighting in their own way to cope with the agony and failure of their lives, and the loss of people they couldn’t save, and have only dug their wounds deeper. About love. About nothing stoping the lambs from screaming except accepting that they want to let you go.
Is it just me, or does anyone else adore the little sounds--grunts and huffs, etc--that Stephen makes when he’s putting all his physical and magical effort into throwing a spell at his opponent? Or for that matter, hurling Cloak to save someone or foil a villain?
He even does this as Defender Strange.
Also, when he pants. For any reason. In pain (sorry darling, I hate to see you in pain, but dammit man, even your breathing is...attractive). Crash landing in a new multiverse. Breathing hard after running hard. Waking up from a nightmare.
Somehow these little things make him all the more real, and I just love him all the more. 💖💖
My unpopular opinion abt the new Castlevania series ig is that I just don't have any care or sympathy for these little church goons that they were trying to humanize this time around... Like Olrox revenge kill go off, I watch u kill that boys mom minute 1 but I'm still in ur corner bbygirl! I see ur thru line.
But then his little shitty church bf sanctioning and standing by all the actions of the church and also we don't talk about the homophobia he's supporting while also being gay and also sleeping w a man his church would have (and did) sanctioned the genocide of several times over... I'm supposed to think the way he shut Olrox down was anything worth feeling bad for, I just rolled my eyes at his self righteousness. Walk away from that man, Olrox!! We saw where this manic Christian love leads, and it's what ur Abbott did (who I also don't give 1 fuck about him or his white xtian guilt especially after That LOL)
I guess I can tentatively respect that the church guard's storyline is gonna potentially be about deprogramming him, but I hate that they seemed to be posing him as correct in accusing Olrox of having no soul, when we as the viewer know it was an act of love that he didn't think he was capable anymore, after what was done to him at the hands of ppl that the church guard. To me all i felt was the heartache from his POV so common in these communities where u thought you have a Good Christian that saw you, but he still sees you as the monolith of his imaginary enemy the second push comes to shove, even though your actions have shown again and again that there's nuance to be had
owowowow i miss steve and it feels weird not buying a cameo from him for my bday. but i love listening to the old ones............ so soft-spoken........ even if i never get a steve cameo again, i know my starlight still loves me ;u;
Happy birthday!! 🫶🫶 I hope you’re having a good day :] I have a butterfly boy to give you for the occasion and I wasn’t sure how to send him so I figured I’ll just slap him in your inbox
He’s both a birthday gift and just a way to say I really appreciate you and your continued support :> it’s been wonderful having a friend who’s just as crazy insane about ants as me, but also one who always uplifts me and my work! I can’t think of another time I felt so accepted in a fandom and a lot of it is thanks to you 💕
Here’s your boy! He loves you very much <3
Raven you literally did not have to go this hard for this art!!!! I love it so much!!!!! 🥺😭💖💖💖 I almost started tearing up in public when I saw this sjjddk the caa fundamentally changed who I am as a person and it's just strange to me to see it so consistently highly rated but not seeing people talk about it constantly in the tags, so needless to say I'm ALSO super happy to have an ant friend 😭 ESPECIALLY someone who also has Thoughts on pouf since so many people didn't like him, he is just The Guy Ever to me and I'm so so glad you also see it,, must also say that the more I see meruem the funnier he gets, he is so point blank and blunt and the more he just Says Things the more I lose my mind jshdjfhd thank you so much for the boy I am setting him as my phone background as we speak, ants fully rewired my brain and I'm so glad to have someone else to talk about it with + I'm so glad to be a part of you feeling so accepted within the hxh fanbase 😭💕
As for my day, it was pretty good! I went to a state park and got to hang around outside and hike for a few hours, and it's REALLY making me wanna look more formally into a conservation career 😫 I nearly got rained out in the end but it was still a gorgeous day to head out!
