#falling from that cliff

[tsumisgarden]

I was thinking it's a sign

That the freckles in our eyes

Are mirror images

And when we kiss

They're perfectly aligned

–Such Great Heights, The Postal Service

I was thinking about how this song is such a Hansry song. Because if you think about it, it might not be the freckles in their eyes, but Henry’s arrow wound and Hans's (the one he got from Suchdol) are on opposite sides.

So when they kiss, the scars would be aligned.

If I were to push the analogy, it’s a little as if they had been pierced by the same arrow (Cupid’s arrow?) while embracing each other and – I don't know, I just think it's a neat detail, even if it's probably not intentional.

It's very funny seeing people genuinly think the writer of the apothecary diaries hates Jinshi just bc she drew maomao pushing him off a cliff like come on now that's not hate that's just how you treat annoying characters if you like them or not

You have no idea how long this took me. Not because it was hard, so to speak, but because I had nO TIME TO DRAW IT---

BUT. It's done. Congrats to the one person who guessed Leo could use portals to fly -- that was like. A huge plot point I wanted to delve into.

It's not satisfying to him, so to speak. As he says, it's not ACTUALLY flying. There’s not a lot of control here, he can’t maneuver or turn without needing another portal boost. Plus, he doesn't exactly LIKE the feeling of falling, knowing that should he screw up, should he not catch himself, or should his portals fail him like they do oh so often, he doesn't have any natural way to save himself... A fear that was only truly realized after Draxum tossed him off a roof.

However, the method helps ease his desire a bit. It's something he'll do for hours at night, when he can't sleep, until he's exhausted his mystics or the feeling of freefalling just gets to be a little too much for him. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

i don't know if there's any actual evidence for this (her hair being able to hold his weight doesn't count) but i would like to enter into the record my headcanon that rapunzel, from years of just parkouring and climbing around inside (and maybe sometimes outside, on the walls and roof when gothel's not there?) her tower, rapunzel is strong as fuck and fully able to carry eugene without much problem.

Day 2: Timeloop / Xiao Qi and Jiu Ge

I am cringe and I am not even free

Feel free to reuse this idea but 24 hours are not enough for me to finish an entire comic. I could have taken the simpler prompt but nOOOOOO timeloop is too tempting. Past me why are we like this

The real plot twist in s03 will be if both In-ho and Jun-ho make it out alive

Ugh, Hardings Romance!!!!

She doesnt hear you flirting with her! And when she does she immediately blushes and tries to push it to her moving stones! She 'drags' you into every trip she takes to get to know about her situation. She takes classes at the Lords of Fortunes Camp, she is telling you when shes kissing you, she then proceeds to call you a boob(!!!!) When she realizes she drugged you with lyrium, and then escapes your lyrium lovedrunk attempts to reach out to her so she doesnt turn your head into mush, people are watching you stumble over your stupid little body, she asks the necromancer for help with her magic, she glows when she sees you bc she adores you so much!!!

tfw you’re a closeted gay man but you’re trapped in a show where cannibalism is a metaphor for gay sex (among other things) and you’re too afraid to stare into the abyss because you know goddamn well the abyss stares back so you ignore all your demons and bloodlust and the hot psychiatrist that keeps subtly suggesting that murder is the new black and pretend to be so normal that you end up watching the love of your life (aforementioned hot psychiatrist) turn himself in because he can’t bear to live without you and to cope with that you marry the hottest single mum near you because let’s be honest you’re too far gone to download grindr or pick up a knife and start stabbing people now so you just sit yourself down and enjoy awful peaceful domesticity for the next three years and quietly scream

Might be a hot take as a bkdk and tgck truther here, but I find izuocha endlessly fascinating, beautiful, but also tearfully tragic.

I see their love for each other as something representative of their innocence and naivety when they only knew so little about who they were, and what was to come.

I think the main barrier of their relationship is that its rooted in how they see each other very idealistically, specifically that they're attached to the image of their Best Heroic Selves, and not the deeply selfish, destructive, freaky, and egotistical parts of them. To each other, they need to keep fulfilling that image or else that same person they looked up to would almost die in front of them, and that would be too cruel. Although that hero is still there, that same person they looked up to is not the same now because of...well...everything.

Izuku had barely even talked to girls when he first met her. She was Izuku's first ever real friend (Sorry Kats, everyone and him knows he was terrible), so he saved her in that entrance exam even if it was so dangerous. She gave a new meaning to his derogatory nickname just by being a friend that believed in him. After that, she saved him several more times (Blackwhip and Megaphone are the biggest samples iirc). It makes perfect sense that she is Deku's hero.

Ochako hardly knew what it meant to be a hero when she first got into UA. Just by reaching out to some kid tripping, she made a new friend who would then save her in that exam, then save him again in return. This boy then became someone who was always working so hard to save everyone in trouble, and she realized she wanted to be just like him too. "I want to save people"

But...Deku changes. The weight of One for All is on his shoulders and he needs someone to carry this burden with him. He continues to want to save other people at the expense of himself, still not letting his true selfishness and ego ever show- and it only grows more and more unbearable.

Then...Ochako fell in love with Himiko. Truly, relentlessly, selfishly and devotedly in love with a girl who then dies giving her blood to her- the greatest expression of love Himiko could ever give.

Not that they can't love each other because of this happening (and...so many other things oh god), I'm honestly not sure how to explain it- But them ending up together after losing that innocence and naivety? After Ochako will forever grieve the girl who showed her love in its most beautiful and ugly form? After Izuku changed so fundamentally as a person that the butterflies of a nice girl talking to you doesn't exist anymore? After that simple image of being a hero and being in love has completely changed for them both?

Even so, I believe they still love each other. There is no label I know of that can properly describe them though. They are each other's image of being a hero when it comes to saving people. Aside from Shoto, no one else can grasp the grief of the person you tried to save dying in your hands. They would no doubt try to cope with these losses together, and just try to get better together...but so much has changed. They've changed. The world changed. What are they now? Who are they now?

"What happened...to us?"

Ok I’m sorry to my like- 5 followers for posting about politics again, but I keep seeing a lot of comments everywhere about there being “problems on both sides” (cough chappell roan cough). Which is fair. Absolutely, of course there are problems on both sides. The Democrats are far from perfect.

But if you are continuously arguing that there are problems on both sides, what is your plan? To not vote? Vote for a third party candidate? If so, you are actively, willingly helping to elect a man who is a rapist, misogynist, white supremacist, and felon. I’m sure I missed something there, but you get the point. You are rolling out the red carpet for the guy who has repeatedly expressed his desire to be a dictator. To deport all immigrants, legal or not. To persecute LGBTQ+ people. To take away a woman’s basic bodily autonomy. To strip away voting rights.

It is perfectly reasonable to say there are problems with both parties. But for the love of all that is holy do not pretend they are the fucking same. It is not the intelligent take you think it is. Because you may not like Harris or the Democratic Party, but if Trump is elected, there will be a far, far worse outcome. If you are not a rich cis straight white Christian male, the GOP does not give a shit about you. In fact, they probably are actively trying to make life worse for you. In case you haven’t noticed, the GOP is full of literal Nazis.

So if you aren’t voting, what the actual fuck are you thinking? Honestly. I get that you may not like the Dems position on the war in Gaza. You want to support people’s right to exist. But if that is what you truly believe in, then there is a VERY clear choice here. Please, please make the right one.

She doesn't have the heart to tell him

i know gangcheori is an asshole and not to be trusted but unfortunately i like it when men are snarky, stupid and more than a little pathetic. and he fits the bill perfectly OTL

[redyarns]

you could say that in hp and pjo, the hero either chooses the prophecy (percy) or is chosen (harry) even though there might have been someone else who could fit that role (nico or neville respectively). LET ME DO THAT BUT MEGOP. a prophecy that promises sorrow and pain and tragedy and theres only 2 people who fit the bill: orion or dee. and orion loves dee too much to let him go through any of it, so he chooses the prophecy for himself and literally carries the weight of the universe on his shoulders. and dee, who loves orion, is horrified and does everything he can to stop him and take the prophecy away, and when you oppose the hero of the story, youre painted as the villain in most peoples eyes. and both of them unknowingly fulfil the prophecy anyway: both suffer and both live through tragedies as they try to stop each other, furthering the inevitable future regardless
