I cant explain it but Vanessa gives off such older sibling vibes. like i refuse to believe that she's William's only child. i swear to god she's gonna be revealed to have had some kind of younger sibling that died (bite victim, scooped by baby, etc)

can you imagine the fucking heartbreak that would be a scene of vanessa telling mike about her family and stuttering over her being the only afton child. the only afton child *now*. the only afton kid left alive. because she was complacent, because she did everything her dad asked her to, because she rolled over and bared her stomach and came crawling back every time she was kicked, acting as her father's fucked up little guard dog in exchange for her life. a life that she doesnt know what to do with now that he's gone. because that life is all she has ever known.

my absolute favorite genre of tags to get on something is "idk anything about this media but i'm rbing anyway because [absolutely any reason whatsoever]". gets me every time. like aww you don't just have fuzzy feelings for this tv show or whatever. you like something that i brought to the table, enough to ignore the fact that you don't even know what the fuck i'm talking about. that is genuinely very nice to hear.

Guys 🤕🤕🤕 sorry I've been dead,

Here's a lefty design drop

The black parts are just shading :P

[shrikeseams]

When you skim through the B&L silm chapter to check something and--

[Huan] brought [Luthien] to Celegorm, and Lúthien, learning that he was a prince of the Noldor and a foe of Morgoth, was glad; and she declared herself, casting aside her cloak. So great was her sudden beauty revealed beneath the sun that Celegorm became enamoured of her; but he spoke her fair, and promised that she would find help in her need, if she returned with him now to Nargothrond. By no sign did he reveal that he knew already of Beren and the quest, of which she told, nor that it was a matter which touched him near.

...Luthien really did not give two fucks about politics, huh? Anything anyone ever said about the Noldor in her presence just went in one ear and out the other. Like, she apparently couldn’t link the name of one of the major Noldor princes, who ruled some of the territory RIGHT NEXT DOOR to Doriath, to either his faction or the fact that HE IS A KINSLAYER. She doesn’t care about Iathrim-Noldor political tensions because she never notices that said tensions exist.

...You know what, maybe I WILL accept interpretations where Dior didn’t anticipate the second kinslaying, but ONLY because he inherited his mother’s political acumen.

happy birthday fnaf 2 but more importantly HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILLIAM AFTON!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳

next up in my revamped kj designs: jet star!! 💫

she is so important to me… the space puppy tattoo is partially because of @eggbagelz’ headcanon which i saw and thought “oh definitely jet would LOVE laika” and the design is (with permission) one of my lovely friend @andpierres’ tattoo flash designs and tattoo tickets are available on his kofi if YOU would like to have a space puppy tattoo on your own skin! :)

as with the last two posts, untextured version under the cut for cleaner details and accurate colors!

I LOVE doing stylizations/redesigns, and fnaf is sooooo perfect for it. I'm actually planning on eventually doing it for every character.

This one's like 2 months old, but I'm still generally good with it. It just always bothered me how Plushtrap isn't... "plush," so I wanted to at least make it like he's some kind of doll-thing with the limbs and stuff held together by strings and that's as far as my brain went.

[abesetacringe]

he's so oughhhhh

[lothcatthree]

“Echo,” Fives says slowly, so impossibly softly, and his breath tickles the fine hairs on Echo’s earlobe, “Take my hand.”

Echo has another self-deprecating comment on his lips, but then there’s a warm, familiar hand in his and a kiss on his neck, so gentle that he feels a shiver pass through his spine.

“Alright, Fives,” Echo whispers, leaning his weight onto his lover and resting his forehead on a soft, sturdy shoulder, “Alright.”

The war is over, and they move on. Sometimes moving on means slow-dancing in your kitchen under the watchful eyes of your tooka.

I was looking at my older plot folders and I can't believe I forgot how funny Louis was. He also had a shirt that said "Friendly Pessimist" which sums him up.
