Seeking Eye Contact

Prompt Source - I'm still accepting prompts from this list. You can check the ones I've already posted in here.

Keyleth fell to her knees, her palms slamming on the earth beneath her as her breath rushed out of her chest. Not far from her, there was a sound of a large body hitting the ground, as the large, adult blue dragon let out a final roar. Her vision blurred and she felt her head get light, too light in fact, as her body tumbled down. Soon, the blue skies above her faded, giving way to cold darkness.

On the other side of the battlefield, Vax’ildan felt the familiar weight of his daggers back in his belt as he rose to his feet, his eyes scanning the battlefield, assessing the damage done to his friends, his family. Grog was covered in blood, as he loved, his chest heaving as he came out of his rage; Vex’ahlia and Percy were leaning against each other panting, her bow forgotten at her side while Percy’s gun smoked in his hand; Pike was leaning above Scanlan, her divine, golden aura healing a nasty wound on the gnome’s leg, who, from what Vax could tell, was not too bothered, as he seemed to be flirting with the girl. 

His eyes kept running through the field, looking for her, seeking the bright green eyes he had grown to love and care for, in the freckled porcelain face, the one that should be surrounded by fiery-red hair. His heart almost lept out of his chest as he found her, laying on the ground, the hair in a halo of fire splayed around her head. 

Vax ran, he ran as fast as his legs allowed him, and soon found himself knees falling against the ground, tears already bursting out of his eyes and a scream in his throat, KIKI! 

Keyleth opened her eyes at hearing her name being screamed in such a painful way she had never hoped she heard while she was alive. Her green eyes seeked the source and her heart faltered when she saw the hazel-brown eyes of Vax above her, thick tears falling to her face. Keyleth smiled and cupped his face with one hand, her eyes not leaving his for a second as he lowered himself down and pressed his forehead against her own. 

I thought I had lost you. The brown eyes, having found their green mates, stopped crying and the sorrow and fear was replaced with relief and love. I didn’t go anywhere, I’m right here. I promise.

Title: Try Artist: Nelly Furtado Footage: Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Picard

Summary: "all the things we want each other to be, we never will be"

a tribute to the complex relationship between Jean-Luc Picard and Ro Laren

Fun fact! This song has been on my (endless) Anakin playlist for twenty years as it perfectly describes Anakin's relationship to Obi-Wan (and the Jedi)...and that says everything you need to know about my love for Ro Laren and her relationship to Picard (and Starfleet)!

Less fun fact! "Ensign Ro", "Preemptive Strike", and "Imposters" each have a different aspect ratio and it is extremely annoying. I am preemptively frustrated about the Picard/Crusher and Seven of Nine vid(s) I want to make post-S3 of Picard.

Anyway, I love Ro Laren and I love this relationship and I am thrilled they reconnected and distraught she died. Will I write multiple aus where things happen differently the way I do for Anakin? MAYBE. I have all the things to write, I shouldn't give myself more. But Ro deserves it.

shoutout to everyone who wants to infodump but cant string together coherent thoughts to form sentences and instead just look at you like this

[batcavescolony]

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

I’m obsessed with this. So embarrassing and sad for fathers that you’re so shitty and useless even formula one wants to censor you 🤣🤭

nothing can break the bond between a friend who loves spoilers and a friend who just watched an amazing show and needs to tell someone the entire plot from start to finish

"content creator" is a corporate word.

Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :

Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources

Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)

Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women

Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women

Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)

Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)

Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community

Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS

Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough

Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media

Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards

Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories

Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")

And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue

Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"
