Always thinking about how TLT is in so many ways about cycles of abuse.... Mercymorn has spent 10,000 years being too emotional and too sensitive and wearing her grief on her sleeve (the feminine expression of grief versus Augustine's masculine repression of it) and she spends those 10,000 years being ridiculed for it. "Unlovable Mercymorn, critical Mercymorn" -- John denigrates her in front of her inferiors on the Erebos, Augustine has a constant, painted on expression of dismissal, etc until the point where Mercymorn herself just accepts it.

And then here comes Harrow, 17 years old and grieving just like her, and Mercymorn has a chance to help. She has spent 10,000 years as a live wire of grief, and she's given this broken baby who has torn apart her own brain, in many ways a mirror of Mercymorn's own grief, and she has the chance to help. But what does Mercymorn do?

She ridicules Harrow. She dismisses her. She perpetuates the violence that she herself has faced, and the cycle continues

I don’t know if this is common knowledge now and this post is redundant or not, but I’ve seen it enough to where I want to say something. Do writers know what star-crossed actually means?

It’s doesn’t mean like- soulmates or whatever everyone thinks it means. It means bad luck; you aren’t approved by the stars and so bad things will happen to you. Comes from the belief from way back when people thought the stars had some sort of power and would dictate outcomes.

I think most just assume it has to do with love because the original line in Romeo and Juliet have it relate to love, but you can slap most anything at the end of star-crossed and it would still make sense.

Star-crossed lovers: two lovers fated to fall out of love or die or something.

Star-crossed enemies: two rivals fated to die by each others hands most likely or they stop being enemies and become friends instead (their rivalry doomed to fail?)

Star-crossed moths: “ooo what’s that pretty green light Timmy?” “I dunno Patrick, let’s go look at it.” *Flies into a bug zapper*

I have this HC where Crocodile and Mihawk realize that Buggy's wormed his way into both of their hearts when he actually makes them both laugh and they start looking forward to setting eyes on him all the time. What clinches it is when Shanks stops by and Crocodile and Mihawk both get protective and jealous because of the history Shanks shared with Buggy. Buggy just thinks his two "partners" are plotting to murder him.

Mihawk realized it first, that the clown had gone from an annoying, albeit useful, asset to someone he actually wants to spend time with. Crocodile of course, mocks him for this. Here he had thought the greatest swordsman had some taste, he is with Crocodile after all, but liking the clown? Really?? The guy making dicks out of balloons, that's a person Mihawk wants to be with? What a waste of time. But hey, it's the swordsman's life he can do what he wants with it.

And then it's two weeks later and Crocodile is storming into Mihawk's greenhouse, practically his own sandstorm because now he too has feelings for the clown! Oh sure if it was just sex he wanted, that would be one thing! Crocodile wouldn't even flinch if his feelings were just contained to wanting to fuck the "emperor" til he was begging, crying mess. But no! Here he is, a former warlord, wanting to get Buggy things so he can see the other man wear them, wants to hear the clown's stories and jokes because fuck if it doesn't spark something in him. Here he had thought his own tastes were above this! Being with the greatest swordsman in the world? Great! But add an honest to God Clown to that? No, just no! Meanwhile, Mihawk continues to water his tomatoes throughout the rant, only occasionally interrupting to remind Crocodile that if he harms his orchids, he'll have far bigger problems than a crush on a clown, Mihawk will make sure of it.

And for a while, that's that. They don't immediately make a move on Buggy, not ones to make some big grand gesture of feelings. Instead, they'll ease into. After all, they have time. So slowly, their bullying moves onto teasing (and still some bullying, but it's with care). Mihawk sometimes gifts him with fresh produce from his garden. Crocodile offers to train together. Hell, they even go and watch one of the shows he puts on with his crew! They couldn't be any more obvious about their affections.

(Buggy has no idea his feelings are reciprocated and just assumes these are all attempts on his life.)

And then Shanks comes strolling up to the island and Buggy makes the offhand comment that hey, he may loathe the red haired bastard, but at least he appreciates Buggy's company! It takes about thirty seconds of Crocodile and Mihawk sitting in silence after Buggy leaves to realize, that in fact, no they do not have all the time in the world, and that yes, they could have been more obvious with their affections.

The following few days are spent as Buggy's shadow, glaring daggers at Shanks and reminding him that Buggy is a Key component of the Cross Guild, and he can't just come waltzing in here demanding Buggy's attention, thank you very much.

Shanks, having immediately clocked this whole situation, just laughs.

I think my favorite non-Carl Anderson part of 1973 Jesus Christ Superstar is Ted Neeley looking just kind of like a sad little mousy guy and then blasting everyone's tits off like a goddamn hydrogen bomb as he puts his entire pussy into Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say)

#406. Budew

When the sun's light strengthens, the bud atop this Pokémon's head opens. This is a sign to the people that the harsh winter is over, and the season of budding has begun.

Colour and symbol charts can be found here.

A note on colours: in my experience, floss looks different irl than in online pattern makers. If you think a different colour will work better, go with your gut!

made some instant noodles but when i checked the expiration date it was scratched off, but im VERY hungry so i guess im just gonna take a gamble

[stitchinonamission]

Finally made this pattern from @shitpostsampler after over a year of wistfully contemplating it, and it was my first time making something with variegated floss too! I really love how it turned out, though the pattern modifications were more due to my having a bit of a brain lapse while at the store and being positive the border was mostly leaves so I definitely would use a lot of green! And since I only had the one purple, that was saved for the berries so the flowers and berries wouldn’t blend together.

Still, super fun pattern, and I have to figure out somewhere fun to put it up!

The way starkid poisoned my brain is the fact that whenever I see someone in a Texas tux, I don't call if a Texas tux, I call it crossplay.
