#LOOK NO ANGST

...Okay I wanted to get in on the silliness this time haha.

(Bagel posting here, here, and here.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            “Alright,” Brain said with a sigh, rubbing the bridge of his nose.  “When I asked you to help with groceries, what, exactly, did you hear?”

            His—friend? Roommate? Science experiment?—his something gave him a sheepish smile, then nearly fumbled and dropped their armful of bagels.  Not that it would’ve really mattered; there were grocery bags of them already piled on the table, the counters, and lingering around their feet.  If nothing else, Brain was impressed that they’d managed to get everything back to the apartment.  “They were on sale?” they offered.

            “What are we going to do with a lifetime supply of bagels.”

            “It was a good bargain!”

            “Player.”

            His friend moved, and it took until they were nearly dumped unceremoniously in his arms for him to realize they were being passed to him.  As it was, he had to scramble not to drop them.  “Hang on—I didn’t ask for these—”

            They gave him a smile that was decidedly unrepentant.  “You can give them to the Spirits,” they signed now that their hands were free.

            “They don’t eat bagels.”

            His roommate pointedly ignored him, rummaging through the bags and looking for places to put their newly-acquired hoard.

            Brain gave them a glare that he couldn’t quite maintain, then sighed, setting the bags on the table.  “You know we’re going to have to go back out and get actual groceries, right?”

            “Mm-hm.”

            “And we’re going to need somewhere to put them,” he continued, pointedly.

            They hesitated, giving their kitchen a contemplative look.  After a moment of thought they turned to Brain with a grin that he wasn’t sure if he should be alarmed or amused by.

~*~

            -“Master Brain,” Sigurd asked, sounding slightly confused, “have you seen your friend recently?”

He only spared half a glance from his notebook, a quick sketch of his roommate’s rusted Starlight staring back at him.  “Nope.”  Though he probably would soon; they were supposed to be working on digging into their missing memories in roughly half an hour, though he wouldn’t be surprised if they got waylaid by their friends or Heartless or something.

            “Oh.”

            “Why do you ask?”

            “Well—several of the Heirs were complaining about them earlier.  Something about dropping bagels on them?”

            Brain lifted his notebook to hide his smirk.  “Probably someone else.”

            “…Right.”

Hello Ethubs nation :]

more backstory that i wrote up for patreon heh:

Simon and Tommy had a complicated relationship as brothers. 

At a young age, Simon basically wrote himself off as a lost cause, and did the best he could to make sure at least Tommy had a chance to be a functioning human being. After all, Tommy was the gentler brother, the dreamer, the one who looked like their mother (who'd walked out on them years ago to escape their father). But Tommy got bitter, got sick of the one always being protected, being babied. He lost respect for Simon, for the way he wouldn't fight back, and in a twisted way, grew closer to his father as a way to learn how to be powerful, strong. It backfired, and Tommy got wrapped up in some bad business.

Simon's kid brother died while he was deployed. He got the news in the letter, and it broke him in a big way. In the story timeline, it was years and years ago but it still hurts like hell whenever Simon thinks about him.

Salvaging the Ship of Theseus au! Posting on the sketch acc because i haven’t decided on anything permanent yet.

Emmet’s having a grand time guys.

He’s doing great!

On a side note, here’s Ingo!

Ingo’s fighting very hard to retire from Wardenship after seeing a whole train fall from the sky and land on the other side of Hisui. Unfortunately, this is a track he can not disembark until either him or Sneasler become permanently indisposed.

He’s also doing great! Don’t worry about it!

Please elaborate on your twst Pokémon headcannons I’m very interested

I had planned on drawing everyone for this (I made a LIST!) but it. hasn't been going well. 💀 soooo here's what I have so far!

Riddle - Roserade (I was going with 'no legendaries', otherwise I would've given him a Shaymin) (and I don't think Togedemaru is actually a hedgehog or I would've given him one of those too) (...they kind of do fit though. hmm.)

Trey - Alcremie (clover/mint cream + strawberry/ruby cream)

Cater - DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD!

Ace - Impidimp (I feel like there's probably a better one for him, but I can't think of it)

Deuce - Scraggy (meanwhile I KNOW deep in my heart that this is true)

Leona - Pyroar (but like. a nasty Pyroar. just a grizzly old Pyroar with the shittiest attitude imaginable. they pretend to hate each other but secretly they are a bonded pair, do not separate)

actually i think they should do stupid things together sometimes, i also fully embraced the fact that none of them have any fashion sense

What if I told you that RoobrickMarine went and wrote an entire novella starring my 16th century dog couple? It's very canon-adjacent, well researched and thoughtfully put together, has inspired me a ton during these past months and it's now publicly available at AO3. I highly recommend it.

Palpatine: My boy, Master Kenobi is lying to you!

Anakin: ?...yeah? He does that? Lying is Obi-Wan's favourite sport. Bant told me that he was dropped on his head by Master Qui-Gon when he was a child and Master Qui-Gon was really tall, so the fall shook loose some things in his brain and now Obi-Wan is allergic to giving straight answers. It took me 3 years to figure out his favourite colour. and his birthday. 5 to figure out that he's allergic to shellfish. I once told a restaurant that Obi-Wan can't have shrimp and he told me to "stop giving information to the enemy". I've made a game of it really.

Palpatine: *muttering under his breath* ok try using shrimp next time

Anakin: what?

Palpatine: Nothing!

got a message out of the blue about that 'why Batman doesn't kill' explanation I left on someone else's post like two years ago but it was just "wait is Alfred dead????" and I sort of forgot that most of tumblr Batfam fandom doesn't actually read comics and so largely has no idea that Bane killed Alfred back in 2019 and he's stayed dead since

You guys really seemed to like the last one, so I decided to torture Vox again 🥲👍

[tragedy-for-sale]

I'm never getting over how sick he looks

It's a very dull looking scene, almost grayscale. That choice shows you just how sickening this mission is to Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan is hunched over, head between his knees. He looks physically sick. Everyone looks to him, he can say 'no,' but how could he possibly deny them? His life is the Jedi, and in the pursuit of peace he's asked to do something he cannot but a Jedi Master can, without question, Obi-Wan Kenobi can and he must.

The second shot, that's the face of resignation. He can't even speak, you can see he almost opens his mouth but all he can do is nod. This is where we see the line of duty and the individual. When challenged, Obi-Wan chooses the light, at the expense of himself, at the expense of those he loves.

He knows Anakin will never forgive because when challenged, Anakin doesn't choose the light, he chooses who he loves. And Obi-Wan cannot tell Anakin that choosing those you love isn't the correct choice.

This is the hero sacrificing you to save the world, this is Obi-Wan sacrificing himself, sacrificing Anakin for the greater good. But what's so good about letting your best friend think you've slipped away into death, mere feet from his grasp? Where's the good in watching someone you love die?

Obi-Wan remembers watching Qui-Gon's last breath leave his body, he never recovered. Where's the good in knowing all the pain your about to put your best friend through? The good in always seeing your ghost?

How bad do you think his deja vu is?
