Making mag159 hurt more and no one can stop me.

(Also notice how in Peter's version the only thing not taken by the fog is his wedding ring and in this version Elias ring is the only thing vanishing :D)

Inspired by that one episode in Young Justice.

—

"You could leave with me," 'Gray' nods at him, there is the familiar, mischievous smile. Yet the sincerely in which he offers his hand, it reflects in his eyes.

Danny reflects back on his life, staring at his partner, how Freakshow had gotten him into this Circus in the first place.

"Where would we go?" He relents, grasping the offered hand to hold it simply. The weight of the appendage is calming for his racing heart.

'Gray' softens, leaning against him. Their outfifs– tight on their bodies, colourful for the eyes of the people. Ruffles, dark and gooey to fit the theme of the circus, showing more skin than comfortable– it was home.

After so long, it had become home and Danny isn't sure if he could leave it.

(Is that how Freakshow never lost any workers even after his staff broke? Did they become dependent on him just as he has?)

"Everywhere." His performance partner replies, reassures with his presence and Danny soaks it in.

They would move tomorrow, but 'Gray' would not come along.

It's astounding really, that Bakugou never fails to show off his promise ring everytime snoopy reporters are around and competing against each other, in hopes of catching the pro hero in his casual daily life.

He hates them and their stupid questions, -incredibly so- but can never miss the chance to show you off to the world and brag about his love filled life with you, which is why he proudly flaunts his band and awaits that one comment which never fails to follow:

_ "Mr Dynamight! Your relationship seems to be going strong sir, that's really good to know!" and everyone is amazed at the fact, since he has never shown the slightest interest in keeping any of his past relationships going, let alone boast about them to the public.

_ "What can I say? When you finally find the perfect girl, you gotta hold on to her." smirking cockily as he replies, before bringing the ring clad finger to his lips and planting a kiss right where your initials are engraved.

"Why did Monty do That?"

Or: the wall arc, explained!

The shortest possible version is: it's an extension of his boundary-testing behavior, in addition to testing the level of importance he holds in the clusterfucks. He was testing Annabel and Lenore both, with this, trying to see at which point either of them would snap and hit him (literally or metaphorically- he just wants to find that line)

The slightly longer version is:

We see this repeated boundary-testing behavior from Monty time and time again. Like a dog who's been kicked before, he has to know what territory is safe and where the 'hard' line is for what's "unacceptable". He pushes Lenore, invades her mind, tries to get her friends to kill her, because he wants to see when she shows her teeth.

He makes a show of wanting to torture (and actually torturing) Berenice and Eulalie, because he wants to see if that is where Lenore's line lies, or if someone will stop him then.

He makes Ada get on her knees and bark for him because he wants to see if she'll stick to her "we could work together" beliefs, or if she'll cave to someone dehumanizing her. It's a more assessing kind of boundary-pressing, but.. undeniably, it's boundary-pressing all the same.

He directly challenges Annabel's authority by suggesting something so patently ludicrous as murder- because he wants to see if and when she or Prospero will tell him 'no', if they'll actually follow through on any display of their power.

It's a very "me, who's been eating the chess pieces while they're not looking" attempt at assessing Annabel's power, granted- he doesn't understand his own sway in the group because he pointedly underestimates Will's devotion to him- but Annabel does, and knows that a direct "no" is an unwise move. She redirects- and that's not a 'hard' line, so.. Monty follows through.

He find's Duke's line, very clearly- and Lenore's and Pluto's, too. He gets what he wants from this: finding the hard lines of a majority of the people around him. Morella doesn't play with phonies, so he makes Annabel push her to (and over) her line; Pluto becomes brave to the point of willing to kill in the face of his friends in danger; Duke won't keep the peace if you try to kill him (..obviously); Lenore loses her ever-present sympathy if you go for her confidantes. And, he finds Annabel's line, in a way, too: she's not letting him act like he's entirely unaffected by his stunts anymore. She refuses to entertain his facade. If he wants to play his stupid games, she'll give him the prize he wants: a line that she refuses to let him cross.

The arc happens because Montressor is a deeply unhealthy person who copes supremely maladaptively with his own trauma. He forces the establishment of these hard lines because he feels more secure knowing where they lay- because The Line has to be somewhere before murder, and he has to find where that point is.

(We also see this play out in ch120- he's uncertain as Will moves the line, he doesn't know where his own lines lay, and when Will dies and comes back with seemingly no knowledge of the line he pushed, Monty is left shaken both by the events that just happened and the knowledge that other people mirror his unhealthy behaviors and boundary-testing)

❋ After the Journey ❋

Decided to make a finished piece from an old sketch I had sitting around of these two ♡

[essenceofarda]

Some Arwen sketches for my "if LOTR was animated" project :) Also bc I want to practice animating with tolkien characters and I wanted a simpler and more animation friendly style to work with as I learn animation :'D

I gave Arwen star puffs/buns bc she's the evenSTAR (😜😜😜)

Note: I'm still working on Aragorn's design! But I will be keeping the grey streak (pretty sure that's canon actually? idk) and the fact that despite being 6.5 feet tall or whatever Arwen is in fact even taller in this animated version 🥰

forbidden fruit au but throw some time travel into the mix where future ff!reader ends up in the past. when you first see your older self, you’re pleasantly surprised and in awe. and no, it’s not bc of the air of confidence she carries that you seem to lack in your current teenage years or her beautiful hair and not even that body really — it is the way she can hold a conversation with gojo… anddd also the huge and gigantic rock on her finger. future you is married? to who?! is that why she’s no longer even a bit nervous around gojo? because she’s married? oh my god, is it gojo? you needed to know. you needed confirmation that you had the man you’ve always wanted. older cooler future you doesn’t even give you a hint at who it could be despite your questioning after you pull her to the side. if anything, she finds you highly amusing and just smiles. it irks you, especially when she seems to have your gojo wrapped around her finger. you’ve never actually seen him be interested enough to hold long conversations with anyone besides you, and well … future you — but it isn’t the same! you feel like you’re a third wheel at this point. she seriously needs to back off!

I just re-read some pages of The Fellowship Of The Ring and I don't get why so many people take issue with around-20-y/o Elijah Wood being cast. While Frodo Baggins is indeed canonically about 50 years old, the book specifically mentions how he looks like someone fresh out of his teens because he kept the One Ring for multiple years, which is known to keep their owner young and fresh (at least at the beginning until they rapidly age after getting rid of it) - not to mention that since hobbits age slower than humans, Frodo would only be in maybe his 30s. On one page we are being told that multiple people gossip and wonder about how young he still looks, including Gandalf. So if anything, you could say that Elijah Wood was too skinny or too attractive (though I do think he looks like Frodo is described), but not too young.

And I actually like that he looks young because it not only does it make him look cute and innocent, but we also get the notion of someone who has had a relatively quiet and happy, sheltered life before (aside from the terrible death of his parents) and of someone who is visibly sensitive and innocent and gets taken care of a lot. The BIGGEST reason I like his young looks however, is the parallel to young soldiers who are ripped out of their homes by outer forces, by older men who are the ones who started the wars. Young soldiers whose lives are practically destroyed before they even really begin, just like Frodo's - even if he's already half a century old. He comes back traumatized and sick/disabled having saved the world but having lost so much. Most likely his innocence too.

"Easy there, friend! Come have a seat, I'll get you some lassi, it's always served to settle my stomach..."

The long and short is "what if Urianger (+Co) used that experimental Aetheryte during that one beat in the EW MSQ and Mochiie was just a Mercenary in Thav and this was their first meeting?"

Bonus angles under the cut cos OFC I took 1 william images <3

Stagger emote my beloved, it did a lot of the initial heavy lifting for this pose tbh tbh.

Also I gotta find/make a Tummy Ache Survivor shirt for Urianger ..........

Guys, hear me out, again, I hate to be the one saying it, but:

Mohg kidnapping Miquella doesn't even make any fucking sense in hindsight.

Why would MOHG, who has his own confirmed definition of royalty in his dynasty, as an act of rebellion against the system which severely oppressed him, follow the tradition of being the consort to a GOD, for his claim to have legitimacy. Why. It doesn't make any sense for him to suddenly kidnap Miquella, at all.

Honestly, if anyone, it would very likely be Mohg who couldn't give less of a fuck about how his lordship will take place, as long as it does. Bro is extremely sure of his power and abilities, why, why, why would he share the belief a God is neccessary to achieve his goal???

This mf is all about rebellion in oppose to Morgott, on a philosophical level it would be super hypocritical to enable a new status quo by trying to achieve lordship through the current tradition. I mean, maybe that is the point if you still want to interpret him as an 'evil creep' but I personally think, that way, some things fit the narrative even better:

We know that there already was an established system via Ansbach, before the Miquella drama, so why on earth would Mohg, who considers his Pureblood Knights Royalty and creates his own nobles by sharing his blood, follow this atrocious tradition??

That way Ansbach's dying line, would also make a lot more sense. He hopes that the lordship which the Tarnished is trying to achieve, would follow more akin to what Mohg was probably trying to do, becoming a lord for men, not for the gods.

(And also for himself, I still think it was some kind of coping mechanism for Mohg to achieve lordship, so it was a mix out of the psychological need to get power, in order for it to be less likely to be controlled again (tragically ironic, really) and a big middle finger to what the Golden Order did to him.)

Mohg's dynasty used to be centred around having his blood shared. It didn't matter where you come from or what heritage you carry on your back. If you carry around his blood in your veins, you're part of the family.

I guess when Mohg was being enchanted by Miquella, his mindset shifted and suddenly, he became obsessed with creating this whole Formless-Mother vessel-thing. (Which in itself even sounds silly, like how to you push a goddess which is considered formless into a flesh vessel? It would seem fairly counterproductive but that is just some literal interpretation, also considering all the New Formless Mother lore we encountered in the DLC. )

That's when Ansbach – knowing his lord's usual mindset and ambition – probably noticed something is off and fairly easily figured out that Miquella was fucking with Mohg's mind. Hence why he tried to challenge him and lost. Mohg was more important to Miquella's plans than the other way around and opposed a threat to the order Miquella was trying to create. So why did he coccon himself? My guess is that he needed a gateway to the Lands of Shadow + a way to get rid of his golden flesh to escape the influence of the Greater Will. And being supposedly kidnapped, nobody would ever suspect him being behind all of this and annihilating Mohg as a possible, popular competitor to his goals, which was, as we see, extremely effective.

Reading your stuff about potential toxic nature of a potential morgott romance. I got to ask how you think morgott would handle a tarnished lover who constantly and consistently tries to build him up and make him accept his omen nature and just be this nurturing figure

That’s a good question actually. I think a lot of it kind of depends on how the Tarnished is going about it. Like I think if they were too overly enthusiastic and pushy about it he’d see it as disingenuous and might get pissed off about it. Because it’s easy for them to see it as positive when they’re not the one who has to live like that. The Tarnished hasn’t been scorned and shunned for thousands of years based on the virtue of their existence.

A lot of it also kind of depends on what stage in the relationship that Morgott and the Tarnished are in when they’re trying to do this. If it’s been a few years he could be more open to believing them, but in general I think for the most part the best you’re going to get regarding Morgott and his Omen heritage is him finally viewing it in a neutral light than a wholly negative thing.

Like I think with some time and gentle coaxing he could eventually just accept that it’s how he is, he didn’t do anything to deserve being ‘cursed’, it’s just something that happened. He will always be this way, and so instead of self-flagellating over his existence, he can sort of just accept it. The only place that I could see him seeing any positives in it is if the Tarnished is a bonafide monster-fucker and genuinely sees him as more attractive as an Omen than if he were born human. Like it wouldn’t entirely tip the scales towards him favoring his nature, but he would like that he can please his partner in this way at least.
