I am SO grateful that ed and stede exist as characters exactly as they are. I'm so grateful for these two men who are traumatized and messed up and struggle to even like themselves, who are terrible at communicating, who make enough mistakes between the two of them to fill an entire ocean. I am so grateful to watch them struggle and be seen and be loved and reach out for the things they want and are maybe starting to believe that they deserve. I'm so grateful that the show lets them fall in love and get together exactly as they are, that it doesn't say they need to wait until they've become some unattainably perfect version of themselves before they have permission to have that. i am so grateful for ofmd

"Arrogant, ruthless, and by all reports (including his own) utterly charming."

(I don't know why I drew this but please take Revolutionary War British officer George, I think it suits him, okay!!!)

+ George Russell the type of guy to t-pose in front of rebels

+ the usual

Okay first of all, process, as always:

I drew this in one day hahaha....Actually really fun! I haven't finished anything in almost a month, and haven't painted for even longer, so I'm kinda dying at the fact that 18th century George Russell got me motivated 😭 Sometimes when painting, I realize I have free will and can actually just start painting over the lineart, and that's the best moment of every drawing process 🙏

Also I'm very proud of his face!!! I've said before, but art progression is such a weird thing. You'll keep repeating to your self "I'm no good at [insert art thing.]" And then randomly realized you can in fact do it. That's me with drawing real people's faces 😭 I'm just so shocked I got his face pretty good in one try!!!

Okay about the pose and quote. God its so fun to misappropriate quotes for my own evil deeds. Both of these are from this one officer from the Revolution: Banastre Tarleton. Idk, I randomly saw his painting in a history video, and it's stuck in my mind ever since. And then yesterday, bcs I spent a lot of time looking at George, I'm like "hey you know what he kinda reminds me of-" and thus we have this.

I just found that quote about him from some historian to be funny, so I put it as a caption, as I would with Napoleon. This won't be an AU by any means but. I think if George was in the Revolution, he'd be the most stereotypical, evil British villain in American media type guy ever. And Tarleton is kinda that guy tbh, to the point where him and others like Arnold Benedict are the poster boys of evil Revolution guys. He even has a mocking nickname! "Bloody Tarleton/Ban", very "Osama bin Russell," no? 😭

Some notable moments from Tarleton's campaign that I think fit George: Apparently killed a bunch of American soldiers after they surrendered, making sure everyone was dead(😭😭), threatened to burn an American general's house down to make him surrender and then took him hostage, went toe to toe with George Washington himself and Washington even taunted him and Tarleton got a shot in, has a helmet named after him(very slayful.)

rotating the pub scene from 73 yards in my mind i think there is so much being said there about wales and welsh/english tension that is so interesting and is going so under discussed

[stackyshenanigans]

Aren't Draluc's suits like, canonically custom-tailored? Why tf does he wear sleeve garters when he's not cooking?

Just for the drama???

Alternate After Credits Scene is Simmon's going over some inventory and Grif calls him on the helm-comms channel. Grif: "Simmons! Siiimmmons!" Simmons: "Grif?!" Grif: "Simmons, it's terrible! The seats aren't comfortable, I'm so *bored*, I don't even know if I still have a house back home, but worse of all there's no complimentary peanuts on this flight!" Simmons: "Grif, you've only been gone ten minutes and you're already bitching about going home?!" He then sniffles and his voice waivers. " 'M'gonna miss you, fatass." Grif: "Yeah well. . . M'gonna miss you too, buddy." Voice cracks a little, but then he clears his throat. "So when I get home, and you're done being a kiss-ass, maybe use some of that PTO you've got saved up and come have a marathon with me." Simmons: ". . . I don't *have* any PTO because a certain someone used it all." Grif: "Well then maybe you should get to work on that, Simmons, and stop monkeying about." And then they just keep bickering back and forth until the comms become too far out of range.

if anyone wants to write Usagi fics but has no idea about Japanese food pre modern times, I’m doing some research and found several sites worth mentioning.

Andrei's eyes open, blinking away the haze of sleep as he turns towards the door. The length of the flickering candle on the wall telling him it's nearly morning, but not quite. It's not a nightmare that had woken him, so what could—

Crack.

All thoughts of sleep immediately flees him as his gaze whips to the basket sitting on the bedside table, at the egg laying atop the furs lining the basket.

The egg that now has a sizeable crack lining its width, almost like a split grin.

As Andrei watches, there is another soft crack, the grin widening a sliver as the occupant of the egg moves within the shell. He sinks to the floor by the bed, eyes level with the basket, and stays in that position, observing the process.

It takes longer than he expects, the slight movement every few seconds punctuated by stretches of silence in between. Fingers hover over the egg hesitantly, before withdrawing. All birds must hatch by their own power, isn't that right?

After an achingly long time, it finally tumbles out of the shell altogether in one motion, a tiny, bright pink little thing with a sparse covering of yellow feathers and pieces of broken eggshell stuck to its body. In the candlelight, he could just make out a pair of wings, a beak, a pair of eyes, tightly shut.

"...Cranberry," Andrei breathes, the name suddenly all too fitting for the newborn.

Then, a high-pitched squeal from the hatchling sends him immediately to his feet, and Andrei, basket in hand, is out of the door and heading towards the tunnel that leads out of the Abyss before any of the others in the dormitory could wake. The thought that he now had, not an egg, but a real, live, very small and vulnerable bird on his hands just now dawning in his mind.

He needs to go find Naesala immediately.

Congratulations! The egg has hatched!

"Are you ready to give it to me as much I want to give it you?~"

OH. MY GOD SIR BEHAVE YOURSELF HOLY SHIT

[starmoji1]

just a random thought

There is nothing wrong with Dadbastian and the hate I’m seeing it get is INSANE 💀

Seeing Sebastian exhibit some fatherly (more like motherly) traits and actions towards Ciel and having fun with these scraps makes the overall story of Black Butler more sad because you have the story of a young boy who lost everything—his parents, his brother, his home—and his savior is the very person who will kill him. The idea that Seb acts somewhat like a parent to Ciel as a very consistent male figure in his life (a role he must play to ensure their contract is properly filled), giving Ciel a little bit of a family before ultimately having to kill him…

Well I think that makes the story of Ciel Phantomhive just a little bit more interesting.

Also, the idea that Dadbastian fans believe this headcanon is an official fact is ridiculous; it’s just a silly au for funsies. It doesn’t mean that we ignore canon or ignore the darker aspects of BB. A lot of the Dadbastian hate sounds like y’all are taking this as a personal insult for no reason. I assure you, we know the lore and the actual canon. We just wanna have some fun with it too 🤷🏾‍♀️
