#and I don't regret a single thing

[starcurtain]

I have this small, deeply personal headcanon that after his grandmother's passing, Alhaitham's home was so unbearably quiet that he started--just barely, just one or two words--to speak out loud to her as if she was still there.

"I've been accepted to the Akademiya, Grandmother."

"I passed my promotion exams."

"I debated with Haravatat's sage."

Just that, and quiet again.

But one day, it's: "I met someone strange."

"He keeps showing up when I'm trying to study."

"We don't agree on anything. Still..."

"I made a friend."

"Today, Kaveh and I were researching--"

"It's already dark. I didn't realize we spent so long in Razan Garden. Kaveh wanted to hear about my article--"

"He's going to be furious when I tell him the whole point for his portion of the lecture is based on a false predicate--"

The house where his grandmother used to be gets a little louder again; the noise lasts a little longer.

Until one day, when there's no words at all.

One day, when there's just the sound of a single sob, and then a long, long silence.

making something (maybe)

[holmesandwhatson]

is it really that weird that i don't like being approached and asked out by random guys in public

(also it's super rare in my culture so it's usually Americans or foreigners and I'm so unused to such situations I never know how to handle them well and not appear rude ;/)

It's been well over a week now (maybe two??) but I'm still plugging away (ever-so-slowly) at this vignette about Zara and Rook. Zara's POV is a lot of fun to write, now that I have a better sense of her character. Writing this has really solidified in my mind the kind of person she is and how she acted when she was Rook's captain and mentor. She's very calm and collected in comparison to Rook, even when under a lot of stress.

Anyways, have a little snippet that I'm proud of from today, featuring the origins of the coin trick!

Pacing back and forth across her cabin floor, she rolled the coin back and forth over her knuckles again and again. The motion was easy, almost mindless, more muscle memory than real intent. The coin trick had been her favorite way to soothe her nerves for years now. She’d picked it up out of idle curiosity after watching a street performer dining in a tavern in Bon Largo, who had chatted with her for over an hour as she fretted about something mundane, never once dropping the coin from their fingers. The same performer had later tried to steal her coin purse and ended up with nothing but a new scar for their trouble, but Zara had learned two important things from the encounter: Not to trust a warm smile and a pretty face, and that keeping her hands moving kept her mind from dwelling too much on worrisome things.

one-time tagging @space-writes because they commented on my tags about Rook learning the coin trick from Zara in one of my other snippets from this piece.

anyone else up feeling utterly overwhelmed or nah

Whenever I see someone being transphobic on twt in a bridget thread i reply with three pictures of my mains: ky kiske from ac+r, ky kiske from rev 2, and ky kiske from strive.

it self selects for people who actually play the game. it’s canon that he’ll fight off transphobes with the blade. and if they actually played guilty gear they’d get the underlining messages

While it can be really funny to bully these guys back, please keep in mind that nothing you can say or do to these people will hurt them or waste as much of their time as what they say will stick with you or waste your time. It might be funny to send them a bunch of Ky pictures, but what they're doing is laughing that the only response the people they hate can give them is sending a bunch of pictures of anime boys.

The only thing that works is blocking them. They've turned being an asshole into a recreational sport and getting any sort of response in return is a victory for them.

Noragami, I will always, always, have love for you. Thank you for all these years 🫶

[niallandtommo]

this is a reminder for everyone to do more stuff alone even if it's scary. go on that trip, go to that concert, sit in your favorite coffee shop. i know it's terrifying but i promise it will get easier every time. don't miss out on things just because no one wants to do them with you.

Title: Piece of a Peace of Mind (One-Shot)

The Doctor knew that he should feel hatred towards the Master for all the innocent human lives he almost took and tortured, for all the irreparable damage he caused to the Jones and their lives, for all the planets and galaxies he tried to take over and cause chaos and destruction upon, for almost ruining the balance of the universe and time he so desperately tried to protect all these centuries.

But the only thing the Master did that made the Doctor's heart shake in anger, frustration and anguish was also the only thing not related to any of this at all.

He had left him behind.

Curses. Car service-MOT-repairs have foiled my plans to get more Claude-Wyvern art

Oh gosh I have so many anons these days you guys are specifying who you're not.

I have seen some studies and speculations done by Japanese artists on twitter of those two and it's been a while ago so. Chances of finding those again are a bit low but I can try and show what I learned. Sorry for shitty calendar sketchbook page and bad handwriting. I have more thoughts but that's what I managed to fit on page lmao
