#i love sunflower very very much. if i didn't make it based on sunflower i'd get bored of it myself.

[theokusgallery]

God I've been listening to Wolves Run Together today and I'm back to thinking about the lines

If all the good in me is because of you // Are you to blame for the bad, too? // 'Cause I've walked holes inside my shoes for you

Because like??? Oh my god????? I feel like it's something that could be said from either Nick or Sun's perspectives, like how the whole song is almost like a duet between the two of them

Nick knows how far he's gone but doesn't quite care, but I think it'd be interesting if he's very aware of the hole he's dug for himself. No way but down for him in his mind; besides, he's happier for it, so why the hell not?

And for Sun, its like he knows he's surrendering himself entirely to Nick, but chooses to anyways. Much like his partner, this is something he finds happiness and comfort and safety in. He would rather have this known environment than taking his chances without him, even if this environment is very much a toxic one.

The two make each other happy, but they also know they're slowly killing one another with their horrible habits. It's not like they'll stop though, they're too far gone.

God I love dynamics like this HDHSHDHFJF

(also I think Nick and Sun would make for fantastic OCs given how far their personalities are being pushed from canon. You don't have to, of course, but I think it could give you a lot of freedom!)

YES YES YES THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THEM

The thing is that... Especially for Sunny, but for both of them— they know they're not... healthy. They're horrible for each other, but that's why they're good for each other, they're— they fit together. They'll both go to terrible, terrible lengths for one another, but at least they'll do it together. It's unhealthy, but it's... consensually unhealthy. If that's even a thing. They're both like candles constantly fueling each other's flame, and they are melting, but boy do they love the burn. They're horrible for each other because they fit so well together.

They make each other so so much worse but they fucking love it (for Sunny, despite himself; for Nick, completely by choice).

"no hints were dropped" ok not to be that person but here are the hints that were dropped regarding Colin and Trent being gay:

1. Colin mentioning Grindr in a joke

2. Trent touching the arm of a man in the background

Here is one of the hints that Keeley was bi (even though I do believe she's been canonically bi since season 1, but not everyone sees it this way)

1. Her desktop background was in the colors of the bisexual flag

Here were some of the hints that Ted was bi:

1. Bisexual flag colored triangles above his head in the hallucination sequence

2. Inverted pink triangle next to him in that same sequence (and you can't tell me the creators didn't know, when the Homomonument is based on that symbol)

3. Countless (countless!!!) comments about men's physiques ("huge muscular thighs all caked in mud", whistling at a picture of Pep, "look at that head of hair", "he's strong", "he looks like a Rodin sculpture in cleats", etc.)

4. About a man (Higgins) and a woman (Rebecca), he had to say: "that's a crowd I don't mind being smack-dab in the middle of"

5. Him checking Trent out in the pub in 2x07 (his eyes are up there, Ted!)

6. "It could go either way", "I contain multitudes" and other comments in this vein

7. Bi lighting as he entered the Yankee Doodle Burger Barn

8. Giving similar looks to the female waitress and the male waiters in that restaurant (including a waiter in a cowboy costume that looked like he belonged in a gay club, who tipped his hat at Ted when greeting him)

9. "That's cause you were put into a box", "That box ceases to exist today", the box in the hallucination sequence breaking into triangles (as in the bi triangles and the inverted pink triangke), "we've been playing too rigid", "our guys need freedom", "fast, fluid, free, with full support", the "box that one needs to break out of" being a prominent motif in season 3

10. Wishing Beard called him pet names ("Honey, is that an ingredient or something you just called me?")

11. His crush on Pep

12. The connection between Ted and Colin: "my whole life is two lives, really", both wearing orange in Sunflowers, "I just want to kiss my fella" (Colin doesn't say "fella" , but Ted says it all the time), Ted just needs to get inspired and Colin's play is "inspirational" after he comes out, as per the commentators

And so much other stuff that, had Ted not self-identified as straight (*cough* put himself into a box *cough cough*) , you could make the case that he was canonically bi.

Here are some of hints that there was a romantic connection between Ted and Trent:

1. They hit a lot of romantic beats, and not in the jokey self-aware way in which Roy and Ted hit them in "Rainbow", but in an organic and sincere way

2. They both checked each other out: Trent checked Ted out when Ted was changing in front of him, Ted checked Trent out when Trent came up to him in a pub and hit him with a pick-up line while his date that looked a lot like Ted waited for him outside

3. Did I mention that Trent was on a date with a moustachioed man who dressed in a similar style to Ted? Let's mention it again

4. In that very bar, during a 50 second long conversation, Trent managed to say the word "love" three times. I searched the word "love" in the transcripts of the episodes. There's no other instance in which its frequency is this high

5. "Love our chats" incomplete rule of threes

6. "Sport, it's quite the metaphor" (implied: a metaphor for love; see also "love's a beautiful game" from the song Ed Sheeran wrote for Ted Lasso), "Also makes for a heck of a nickname", "Good night, Ted", "Good night, sport"

7. The soft, romantic, melancholic song playing in the background of this scene, while Ted and Trent are the last ones left in the office, with lyrics such as "When your words begin to crumble like the sidewalks all around this crummy neighborhood / From the chalky cliffs of Dover / I'd come over, I'd start over if I could"

8. Trent wearing sunflower colors in the episode "Sunflowers" and in the finale; sunflowers symbolize Ted's home (it's not subtle). He's the only character dressed like that. I'm still looking for any other explanation other than "Trent is Ted's home"

9. Their constant flirting and the way they look at each other with incredible fondness

10. The entire episode "The Strings That Bind Us". It's structured around Ted and Trent's relationship, and the way Trent changed because of Ted (in season 2, Ted defined a soulmate as someone who changes your life forever). The red string metaphor. Ted points out that soulmates are connected by a string tied to their little fingers. Ted and Trent both extend their little fingers out in similar shots. They are connected by a huge block of red in their last scene of the episode. Ted makes several comments about other men that apply to Trent ("Look at that head of hair", "Frames his face nicely", "My favorite one, he was clean shaven"). Many more details that lead back to Ted and Trent: Nate tells the restaurant owner to tell Jade he said "Hello". Immediately after, Ted and Trent say "Hello" to each other. The map that Nate's father used to ask out his mom has the number 1.3 written on it and an illustration of two people at a table in a restaurant. Ted and Trent went to a restaurant together in season 1, episode 3. The last scene of the episode mimics a "Race for Love" scene from a romcom, with Trent chasing after Ted. Trent also does not say a word to anyone other than Ted in the entire episode. He is completely focused on Ted

11. "Trent, what do you love? Is it writing?" and Trent ends up writing a book about Ted and naming the manuscript after Ted and he only cares about Ted's opinion on it (he leaves the room when Beard starts reading, but stays in the office after hours just to watch Ted read. "I just wanted you to like it.")

11. Trent's crush on Ted, confirmed by Jimmy Lance (and also obvious in the show, if you ask me)

Now, why would I believe that none of these hints were intentional? Maybe some could be explained away, but all of them? The hints we got for Colin, Trent and Keeley were so much smaller than this, and those turned out to be intentional.

anon i wish i could offer you the response you deserve, but i cannot stop rereading this masterpiece & focusing on the portions of evidence you provided that i didn't even pick up on until you laid them out. holy shit

[rosesradio]

For the fandom meme: B, G, I, K, and O

thanks for the ask bat! prepare for some long answers lol

B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind

(i was gonna say the bobby/jess/ali thruple until i realized no one wanted me to ship that lmao)

i would say lawrusso. don't get me wrong, enemies to lovers is my jam, but when i watched tkk and then noticed people online shipping them, i was like "really? but johnny straight-up bullies him :(" then after season four, just like when johnny noticed larusso's fruity beer flavors, i started to get some fruity vibes from them in the show. i knew they'd never make it canon obviously, but the concept of it, with ck making johnny's character have dimension, i started to see it. i don't suppose anyone changed my mind, but the little online community we have here is nice :-)

G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it?

i believe the first ever OTP i was super into was percabeth. i was a harry potter fan first but i was never too hyped over any of the ships in that, but percabeth's slow burn and dedication makes it one of my only continuing straight ships today. (so excited for the show!!)

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

whew. um. well, v*ltron is fairly obvious. even people that have never heard of the show heard about that, it was awful. i was just a calm klance shipper and everyone went nuts. also s*nders sides. i was in the fandom for about five years, but i kinda outgrew it and i think the fandom is pretty immature, but then any mature content they make is just...well, not my cup of tea. (it was tentacle p*rn. guys it was tentacle p*rn please help them--) but i'll still watch any new vids of it even if they take quite a while to come out.

K -Say something nice about someone in any of your fandoms.

it's hard to choose just one! but @ohnoitsthebat obviously you are great, you always have something nice to say about my works and i love seeing your writing, it's very outside of the box! <3

O - Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of?

why would you throw this one at me? i literally spend so much time listening to music when writing my ships and characters! i'll give a couple:

God in Jeans by Ryan Betty is just ctp lawrusso from johnny's pov. i think i've seen a fic or two based on the song as well

Sunflower by Michele Leigh is a byler song ("what happened to us? we used to be best friends." :') )

Puppy Princess by Hot Freaks is a leo valdez song (leo my beloved). if lawrusso didn't have me in a chokehold i'd be writing valdangelo as we speak

love, or the lackthereof by Issac Dunbar is an angsty lawrusso song and just a really great belting in the car song in general lol

to leave you with more music than you could ever ask for, here is this 12 hour playlist i use as motivation/inspiration on my lawrusso fics: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/24XPmfj2yClBEOnBgFNmcT (this is not my playlist and i am in no way taking credit for it)

i guess that's it, i had fun with this! feel free to send more if you want! <3

The art piece I did for the content exchange hosted by @mastasof-ravenkroft ! My giftee was @muuum-am-i-adohhhpted and their Empires fic Beyond The Sunflower Field (which I loved, by the way)! This piece was a very new style for me, but the painterly vibes just felt right for a scene of Gilded Homestead/Heliantha. I decided to set it somewhere around mid-fic, where Pearl has been working the land around Heliantha for a while, but hasn't taken on her leaderly title yet.

10 Weeks of Celebration for 10 Years of Hermitcraft

Prompt 2: Meaning and Impact Anyone can learn how to build beautiful things. Just ask Bdubs! Even people who have tried to kill him in the past are welcome students of his brilliance.

Read it on ao3 or

"Your base is... tall."

"Why yes it is! Thank you for noticing!"

Bdubs led Foxtrot across the grounds outside his monolith. "So, what brings you to my humble home? Just a neighborly visit, or are you looking for advice from ol' Bdubs?"

The android dragged his gaze away from the towering structure and focused on Bdubs' face. He was still learning the balance between politeness and honesty... "Both?"

"Well, welcome," Bdubs replied. "I do love seeing my wonderful friends and neighbors take an interest in what I'm doing. I saw you're building a base of your own here - that's great!"

"Yes, I wanted to join in with the town plans," Foxtrot replied, "learn how you all do things and be a part of it. I never really learned how to... make stuff that looks good, though - before finding you all, I had no reason for that."

"Oh yes, that's revenge quests for ya." Bdubs nodded. "And of course, you came straight to the expert!"

"Well, I asked Tango first," Foxtrot corrected. "He told me to come talk to you, because that's where he learned a lot of building tips from and he thought you could explain things better than he could."

"Awww, how schweet of him," Bdubs effused. "Come in, come in, I'll show you around!"

Bdubs backed into a corner to let Foxtrot through the door. "It's kind of tight quarters in here, I know, but that made every floor a great challenge for me. I don't know that I'd recommend makin' too many rooms this small while you're still learning what you're doing, to be honest, but feel free to use any ideas you get from this place!"

"Okay!" Foxtrot looked around the entry room, focusing on the half-hidden barrels and chests. "Why are these... like this?" he asked. "I think I understand the arch, but you'd get much more storage if you didn't have the trapdoors and just had a wall of just barrels."

"Ahhh, but it's all about texture and breaking up the space, isn't it?" Bdubs replied. "The shelves just make sense here. And there's more storage up on the second floor - it's not like I need it all in one place." He led Foxtrot up the stairs to show him. "See? There's always a balance to be struck. This is all perfectly good storage space! It just doesn't need to be all lined up in straight rows of labeled double chests to do its job!"

"So basically, don't have too much in one spot that's all the same thing."

"Yes, yes, exactly that! And make sure you mess around a bunch with the details. For example: trapdoors are a wonderful thing to add in if you aren't sure what to do. Come on, I'll show you just how much detail you can pack in if you want to - and more storage!" Bdubs started up the stairs again. "Come check out my plant lab."

Foxtrot pricked his ears a little higher in curiosity. "Plant... lab-?"

Week 4 of the 10 Weeks of Celebration for 10 Years of Hermitcraft challenge - this week's prompt is "Comfort and Calm".

Stress has her name for a reason. She senses it in others, and though she wasn't there for it herself, she can feel the effects of the moonpocalypse from everyone around her. She does her best to help out in her own way.

Read it on ao3 or

Stress hummed as she assembled and set a picnic table in front of her house, big enough to seat seven or eight people. She had realized, somewhat belatedly, that her little teapot house may not comfortably fit everyone who was invited - though it was certainly open to them - so this tea party would be held mostly outdoors.

Zedaph was the first to arrive, trotting up while Stress was still setting the table. After an animated greeting, he picked up a couple plates and started to help out. He had somehow gone through the end of HC-8 and the move to HC-9 practically unscathed, and Stress had invited him because she appreciated having more of that kind of energy at her little gathering. She herself had been off-world at the time: an extended vacation with Iskall and the other Vault Hunters, which had become even more extended when they heard the news.

Stress and Zedaph chatted for a while, but as soon as Tango reached them, Zedaph was there. He hung off Tango like a human weighted blanket, even as Tango tried to sit down. Tango clearly didn't object, though. Stress giggled at the awkward position this put Zedaph in and pushed a chair closer. "'Ere you are, why don't you both sit like that, eh? Instead of contorting yourself to lean over him all the time."

At this point Tango was chuckling too and he gently shoved Zedaph into the second chair. "Yeah, you don't have to twistificate yourself around on my account. Plus we'll both need our hands free for food."

"Oh, yeah, good point." Zedaph extricated himself and sat down, but sat almost between chairs, pressing himself against Tango's side and acting very casual about the fact that he was doing so. Stress just gave that a knowing nod. At Xisuma's request, she had been the one who had finally found Tango, adrift and alone. He needed the weight and presence of some human friends.

By that time, the other invitees had arrived: Cleo, Jevin, and Xisuma. Stress greeted them warmly and served tea to everyone before sitting down herself.

"Are we expecting one more?" Cleo asked, indicating the empty chair with a place setting.

"Don't you worry about that," Stress replied. "'Ave some tea, 'ave some snacks. It ain't much, since we've all practically just got 'ere, but that's alright, innit?"

"We're all here, and that's what matters," Jevin agreed, picking up his teacup in both hands and savoring its warmth. "Food and stuff will all happen eventually."

Xisuma just nodded at that. He had taken his helmet off for politeness and to drink his tea, and he still held himself nervously, as if expecting someone to come up behind him at any moment and tell him to stop having fun - but the others could see him smile a little more every time he looked around and saw a hermit’s base or one of his tablemates.

The conversation was quiet, but earnest and kind. Everyone mostly avoided talking about what had happened, instead expressing their relief and excitement at the new world, their new plans, and what they could do now that they were together again. The snakes that Cleo had acquired occasionally reached for a bite off one plate or another. Cleo fed them morsels, Xisuma didn't seem to notice nibbles disappearing, and Jevin waved one away like an annoying fly as he reached to refill his cup. (No one had actually seen him drink any tea, and no one was paying enough attention to see how he held the mug with a thumb dipped into it. He never had figured out an easy way to absorb liquids that looked like how the humans did it.)

"Halloooo Stress! What's all this about?"

Stress looked up with a grin at the new arrival jogging toward them. "'Ello Iskall! Care to join us?"

Iskall put his hands on his hips with exaggerated indignance. "You're throwing a whole party over here and you didn't invite me? How could you!" He cracked a little smile, mostly joking and unable to be truly mad.

"Well, clearly I didn't need ta," Stress pointed out, "seein' as you found us anyway, right? Look, I even set a spot for you. I knew you'd turn up whether I wanted you or not."

"Well, if you insist..." Iskall sat down with a huff, then giggled, triggering laughter from the rest of the table. "Hallo, everyone else here too! Could someone please pass the tea?"

My #1 post of 2022

I'm seeing people post their art here that they did for the 10 Years Of Hermitcraft, 10 Weeks of Celebration art and writing challenge and realizing, oh, yeah, maybe I could post the fics I'm writing for it here too. The challenge isn't really tailored to writing but it says it is so I took it as a writing challenge anyway.

Prompt 1: Dressed for the Occasion In which Grian helps Cleo make her new dress a little bit better. Who better to ask for clothing help than someone who sewed himself together?

Read it on ao3 or

"You're going to the party like that?"

Cleo turned and gave Grian a withering gaze. Grian's button eyes gave no hint to his intentions. "I am," Cleo replied. "Is there a problem with that?"

Grian ran a finger around one cuff of his red suit - a slightly nervous habit that he'd probably picked up from Mumbo. "Well, your dress is very nice, and I get the look you like to go for, but that tear in the side..."

"Is meant to be there, yes," Cleo finished. "I've got to have inventory access somehow, right, even at a special event."

"Inven- right, of course," Grian realized. "Well, even though we both know it's meant to be there, it doesn't really... look like that, does it? It kind of looks like you had an accident with a tree branch, to be quite honest."

Cleo crossed her arms. A few of her snakes hissed at Grian. "Oh, it does, does it? Are you offering to help fix it?"

Grian nodded. "I am, actually. We can definitely keep the gap there, but just make it look... cut, rather than ripped, right? And that would mean making it a tiny bit bigger, so it'll actually be easier to use."

"...Can you do this while it's on me?" Cleo relented. "I don't fancy trying to get this dress off and on again right now."

"Yeah, should be simple enough," Grian decided. "I'm not going to try and hem it or anything, that would make it look too fake. Gotta go for at least a sort of natural look."

So, Cleo stood with her arms crossed as Grian worked away, using a miniature pair of shears that he always had on him, trimming away stray threads and bits of fabric and treating the cut edges with a special slimeball-based glue he'd gotten off-world.

"I gotta say," Cleo commented, watching him work, "I didn't really expect you to be this... graceful at this."

"Lots of practice," Grian replied. "It did take a few tries to get the hands right on the body I pattern all my others on, but I need the ability to repair myself, right?"

"Ah, yeah, that's true, isn't it. You get good at one-handed sewing too, since they're always the thing that get damaged first."

"Ughhh, that is the worst when that happens. Sometimes I have to use another body entirely to fix the first, but you don't really do that, do you?"

"No, that's pretty uniquely a you thing. I just gotta either deal with it anyway or ask whichever hermit is closest that I trust with a needle."

"Are there many of those?" Grian asked, an invisible smile in his voice.

"No."

Grian laughed, then put away the anti-fray solution and got out a needle and thread.

"I thought you said you weren't going to hem it." Cleo frowned.

"I'm not, I'm just making sure the corners don't pull too hard." Grian made a few quick stitches here, a couple more there, then stood up and clapped once, an action that made no sound except a quiet paf. "Right, finished." He set down two gold blocks between them. "What do you think?"

Cleo turned to the side, looking at her reflection in the polished gold. Grian had turned the ripped bit into a sort of flame-shaped opening at her waist, a curving shape that actually complemented her nicely, rather than looking like - well, like a zombie had ripped a hole in it with their teeth. Whlch may or may not have been what she had previously done to it.

"I think... I really like that actually," Cleo admitted. "Thanks for that."

"A hole in a dress that shows off the hole in you," Grian said matter-of-factly, as if that were a common, normal reason for a design choice. Then he snickered, which Cleo followed.

"It does!" Cleo said with exaggerated emphasis that just made Grian laugh harder. "It's so practical!" In a more normal voice, she continued, "Genuinely, it never occurred to me that you had sewing skills that extended past, like... making weird new bodies for yourself."

"Oh, yeah," Grian said as the two continued on toward the party. "I make, or at least adjust, most of my clothes - even did a dress for myself once or twice. Anyway, who do you think tailors Mumbo's suits?"

jasmine; what mythical creature do you wish actually existed? apricot drift; how do you feel right now? honey perfume; favorite movie ever? tulip; name 5 facts about yourself. lilac; if you could go back in time which time period would you visit? sunflower; share a favorite quote. moonflower; what’s your favorite color?

🥰

jasmine: already answered :)

apricot drift: how do you feel right now?

i feel good, pretty calm for once, which is nice. how are you?💓

honey perfume: favorite movie ever?

my two absolute favorites are definitely titanic and the prince of egypt. both are so powerful and epic and both make me feel so much.

i'd also like to mention good will hunting....it's a beautiful, philosophical movie that i really, really enjoyed. it stayed in my memory, which is always a good thing.

also, whisper of the heart. the sweetest thing.

tulip: name 5 facts about yourself.

1. as a kid, i was very good at maths. when i was 6, i used to solve mathematical tasks on the 3rd grade level of elementary school without a problem. and i always enjoyed the thrill of having a complicated mathematical task and all the steps you had to take in order to get a correct result. it was just neat to me. unfortunately, as i grew older, this just didn't stick with me that much. i am definitely much more into arts and language now, but i still very much appreciate mathematics.

2. my favorite board game is called dixit. it's such an interesting game with beautifully illustrated cards. the point is to confuse other players by telling a short story based around one of the cards you have in your hand. others are supposed to choose one of their own cards that mostly resembles your story. and once everyone makes their choice, all the players are supposed to judge whose card is the most relevant to your story. you also have to try convince other players why is your card the best one. it's so fun and engaging, i highly recommend it.

3. i used to write short stories for my classmates in middle school. it started with me writing a story for my best friend and then my other friends saw it and asked me to write one to them as well. everyone was always a protagonist in their own story and i used to intertwine their crushes and personal interests and hobbies into each story. at one point it started being exhausting because everyone asked for their story lmao, but i still remember very much enjoying coming up with those stories and listening to their reactions afterwards was always worth it.

4. this one is a bit funny....but whenever i visit my relatives or my friends i always have to check out their little libraries lmao. i just really enjoy seeing what kind of books people own and what is their reading taste like....it's just a thing i do, i guess.

i wish to learn ice-skating. i still haven't learned.....i really enjoy looking at talented people competing at ice-dancing and that sort of thing. especially tessa and scott. they're mesmerizing.

lilac: if you could go back in time which time period would you visit?

keeping this one within my own country and culture (otherwise this would take forever lmfao) i would absolutely love to go back to serbia during its nemanjić dynasty. specifically around 1217 when the serbian kingdom was proclaimed, which led to the establishment of the serbian orthodox church in 1219. imagine witnessing that. not to mention meeting such incredible and important people from our history, saint sava as a biggest example.🤍

sunflower: share a favorite quote.

oh, i definitely have a few. i shared some of them before on my blog, but here they are again;

What is a book? Taken upon the eye, it's a small thing, made from the most expandable material, paper. Taken essentially, it's one of the strongest passions and delights, it's a quiet water that dives the shore, it's dynamite which breaks and rises into the air and then builds differently, it's a sublime, wise teacher or satanic seducer.

-Isidora Sekulić

"It is a mistake to talk about the artist "looking for" his subject. In fact, the subject grows within him like a fruit and begins to demand expression. It is like childbirth. The poet has nothing to be proud of: he is not master of the situation, but a servant. Creative work is his only possible form of existence, and his every work is like a deed he has no power to annul. For him to be aware that the sequence of such deeds is due and ripe, that it lies in the very nature of things, he has to have faith in the idea, for only faith interlocks the system of images."

-Andrei Tarkovsky

"To define is to limit" - Oscar Wilde

"Magic does that. It wastes you away. Once it grips you by the ear, the real world gets quieter and quieter, until you can hardly hear it at all." - Catherynne M. Valente

moonflower: what's your favorite color?

i honestly thought about this haha and i realized i like the combination of colors much more than just one color only.

for example i like how red and black look together. or how sunset gold looks in ocean blue. that sort of thing.

but i think i will always love pink and all its shades. it's my forever favorite.

thank you for asking all these questions! ljubim!💜
