#THIS IS ONLY A FRACTION OF HIS LOVE

[whitenoface]

Just to recap Lilia’s absolute love for his children:

Dragon eggs can’t hatch without “true love” aka “parental love.” Lilia believed he wasn’t capable of having those emotions, therefore he could not hatch Malleus’s egg if both of his parents died. And yet, and yet, Malleus hatched under the love and care of Lilia.

Lilia learned to love with Malleus (or a better way to say this, learned that he could love with Malleus)

Lilia sings Mallenore’s (Malleus’s mother) lullaby to Malleus often as a child

Silver was put under a spell by the fairies to sleep until the war was over. He could only be woken up by someone who truly loved him. Lilia finds him sleeping as a baby, still under the spell. Guess who wakes up?

Lilia upon meeting baby Silver, talks gently to Silver and says he looks a lot like Malleus when he was a baby. Lilia sings Mallenore’s lullaby to Silver too

He blesses Silver to be blessed by the night. He names him Silver because Silver radiates light, and “like the moon that lights the dark sky, Silver will light the dark path.”

Lilia does everything to learn how to raise a human, including buying baby formula/milk powder. He sings him to sleep.

Child Silver gives Lilia an acorn bracelet so that he can live a long time. Lilia responds, “…I feel I can live another thousand years with this bracelet.”

4 year old Ahmad Shabat - an israeli airstrike hit him, his parents & 4 siblings; he survived, they didn't - then they hit him & his father's relatives; he survived, they didn't - then they hit him & his uncle; he survived, his uncle didn't - both of Ahmed's legs have been amputated because of injuries. He survives.

i hope Ahmad gets to live. i hope he has a beautiful and fulfilling life. i hope he finds love and safety and comfort and success. i hope he finds happiness. i hope he heals. i hope he continues to survive. in spite of the violence, in spite of the trauma, in spite of the horror. in spite of the world.

hey alexa, how do you stop yourself from getting attached to people who will inevitably die on you?

The dramatic irony of Vader beginning his life as a slave who asserts his personhood and fights for his freedom is that he will eventually lose himself and be chained by his own choices, actually

Okay that look that ADC gives Laura? I can just see all of your Lexa au looking at Clarke like that and I can’t with the softness.

You're not wrong

But also...

*takes a deep breath and leans in so close that my lips touch the microphone*

the tragedy of dick and jason’s relationship as brothers is not that they hated each other and then jason died, or that they were super close and then jason died. the tragedy is that dick did not know enough about jason to know how to mourn him. were they brothers? were they rivals? dick sure doesn’t know, and jason doesn’t either! but it’s fine bc they have plenty of time to figure that shit out, they don’t need to know each other right now bc there will be time to know each other later.

except.

I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron (apart from I skipped some overly long action sequences) and I am not sure so can someone tell me whether or not Tony Stark was the baddy in that film? Because about halfway through I was sure he was but then it was maybe just an evil robot after all and I am confused because either this film was surprisingly subversive or it was about robots hitting each other.

This was a fun little challenge to put to paper a bit of Bart's inventory items.

He's a bit of a hoarder

My graduate thesis - after (somehow) successfully defending it last week to my committee team - just got officially accepted by my school. Time to become a blanket burrito and (try to) sleep forever out of relief that it's finally finished.

[image ID: an ingame screenshot from the legend of zelda: tears of the kingdom focusing on tulin's ankle, where his newly accepted secret stone rests tied to a braided cord. the cord is coloured dark green, light green, white, and red. /end ID.]

hey so since i've finally said my piece on colours and meanings can i talk about this now. can i talk about what if this is not just the wack magic of a zonai artifact connecting to its new bearer, but this is how dineli chooses to pass on his stone and legacy and promise and Songs and! all the trust and belief he could ever give to someone who will "fulfil their people's role"!

now forget about the stone. forget about the grandiose things. can i just talk about the red. see through all your battles and make it back home, fledgling. can i talk about the greens!! see how the windlines are yours to command! you are a master in the making! CAN I TALK ABOUT THE WHITE?? what colour will you make of this? go and seize all that's worth seizing! ( you do not know me. i do not know you as i think i do. but i do not need more than what i have seen to show how deep my care for you runs )

I just wanna say that sometimes I think about how your Tango wears glasses and I honestly love that but also he'd totally be the type of person that manages to forget he wears glasses and just goes about his day going "Why is everything blurry? Why can't I see?"

That or he breaks them to the point his glasses HAVE to be made out of netherite or something, he just a little clumsy <3

Oh yeah absolutely To me, his favorite way to wear his glasses is just pushed up into his hair. They're technically being worn?

Senju Hashirama:

"After the heartbreak of losing two of my younger brothers, my dream is to build a village where children would not have to be sacrificed for the good of their clan".

Also Senju Hashirama:

"I will protect our... no, my village. No matter what. Anyone who threatens it - be they a friend... a sibling... or even my own child - I will not forgive them."

creature design is so difficult everyday i dream of creating the most horrifying offputting gross grody scary silent hill trauma monster creatures and then i sit down and draw something that looks like this

[whataboutfractions]

@butchwaifu that's a very good question, because i've actually considered this before and ultimately arrived at the conclusion that it's a little of both?

like, one of the things that bmj swings home again and again is that mighty's suicide was entirely preventable - the things he regarded as motivating factors were either manageable or false outright, but the fact remains that it happens regardless and that as a result, there are massive, permanent consequences for the people whose lives were influenced by his own, a million irreparable absences where everything from his routines to his smallest mannerisms once were

and part of what i think makes bmj work so well is its emphasis that, preventable or not, it's impossible to walk back. it didn't have to end this way but it did, and nobody can escape that: not mighty's family, not mighty's friends, not mighty himself, never having gotten to live a life in which he knew he would be loved and missed, thinking to the last moment that he would die fundamentally alone and that this death would be for the best

had even one thing happened differently - had he confided in even one person, or had even one step of his plan been stopped, knowingly or otherwise - he might have lived, so i can't say it was always going to end this way, but at the same time that it did end this way is integral to the themes and characters of bmj, ironically down to mighty himself being fully understood and accepted by his loved ones through the process of their grieving exactly who he was after his death
