Sir, your child wants to be dressed up like a doll, collared, stuffed with a tail, made to crawl around on all fours, be told what a good kitten they are, bitten and marked with bruises that last for a week, then be fucked and bred so hard they'll be a useless puddle for at least 18 hours.
After a year of hard work and dedication, I am proud to officially declare that your probationary period is at an end. Welcome to the Los Angeles Fire Department, Firefighter Diaz.
dazai gets treated by yosano and keeps a straight face the whole way through, not flinching or complaining one bit but the second kunikida walks in he turns into such a pitiful mess and is all like “kuniii everything huuurts 😣” and lets him fret over him while yosano is just like standing there like 😐
my new brain worm is thinking about how the irish meaning of ronan is “little seal” which at first glance is unimportant, until you learn that the name comes from the irish mythology about selkies.
in the specific legend that the name “ronan” comes from, a seal is warned not to get too close to land. when the seal is washed ashore by a wave she becomes trapped in human form after a fisherman, and soon to be her husband, hides her seal-skin. she builds a life with the fisherman — having children, known as “ronans”/“little seals” — but longs to return to the sea, longs to be able to freely transform between seal and human. she eventually finds her seal-skin and returns to the sea but keeps a watchful eye on her beloved children and husband.
this name is undeniably perfect for ronan. the selkie myth is his dreaming, his otherworldliness, in another universe. the selkie people are not just seals or just humans, they are both — just like ronan. the journey of the selkie — being trapped, not entirely unhappily on land but longing for something different, something more true to her, and ultimately finding a way back to the sea — is so perfectly ronan. ronan doesn’t return to his sea — or, he does, but only temporarily, only to see what his sweetmetal sea could feel like, what going back to greywaren’s world would be like — but he finds new power, new control and ends his own entrapment in the waking world not by leaving completely but through gained knowledge, vulnerability, and honesty.
kenstewy is too funny like you'll talk to the annoying sad kid in elementary school just to be nice and boom you're trapped in a 30+ year situationship based on billionare transactions, codependency and substance abuse that lowkey killed some dude... and guess what. the kid is still annoying and sad and you still kinda don't fw him
a re-read of Friends Like These got me emotional and decided to throw my (somewhat benevolent) rottmnt oc, Charlie, at Timothy for human friend/machine shop TA support.
Timothy is @pinetreevillain ‘s son and was only abducted momentarily for another doodle with heavy duty machinery.
PS: dealing with CNC ghosts is a mechanical engineering right of passage (and so is having a kooky TA that claims to hear the voices in their head). Might do more of Charlie later?

Don't you ever just think about Henry with Alex's dad and cry inside a little?
I mean, we don't know much about Henry's dad in general, neither from the book nor the movie.
From the book, we know that Henry has a HUGE hole inside of him from losing his father. But we also can feel the same pain when, in the movie, Alex asks
"Have you ever got your heart broken?"
And Henry replies with
"The day my dad died."
Looking at the Henry from the movie, Henry is able to have a father figure again with Oscar, Alex’s father. One that will support him and treat him kindly, and with whom can still have those father-child bickering dynamic.
Henry is comfortable with him and isn't afraid to show his true self around him.
Oscar will never replace what Henry lost, but, hopefully, he can make the loss less heavy. And I think Alex is really happy about it.
drew this a couple weeks ago out of boredom based on the stream when pac read a sad book and started his archer training arc it's not very good but i should post art at least some of the time
