Not sure if got my previous anon but
I'm still in love with your wolfwood. he's so soft the way you draw him# and I don't mean in like cute baby girl way
I mean he genuinely makes my heart melt with joy it's such, such calming way you draw his eyes
All that keep rooted kindness he hides behind his sunglasses you've unearthed
You draw his eyes so kind
It's akin to the manga, you've captured it so well
As unhinged as he can get, you've immortalised that genuine good natured humanity he has
If Vash saw your wolfwood there's no way he wouldn't fall in love all over again. because that's how I feel when I see your art. I remember why I love wolfwood as a character, that's a really special thing you've somehow reignited.
Sometimes eyes really are windows to the soul.
waaaahhhHHHHHHHH 🥺🥺🥺🥹💕💕 I already said it but this is so so so sweet 😭 genuinely amazed that my wolfwoods could do that for you it’s. I can’t even put it into words
but yeah if I were vash and wolfwood looked at me like this I’d. h. hjshdjshdjs

Post-canon difang amnesia au where someone decides that di feisheng needs to die once and for all. They don't exactly succeed but once again dfs loses his memory. When he wakes up on the bank of a river all he has is three words written on his palm: find fang duobing.
He picks himself up and finds that when he asks around everyone is all too happy to tell him about fdb. Oh yes! That gongzi, they tell him, he's a hero! He's going to kill the number one villain in the jianghu!
Dfs doesn't know it yet but whoever made that attempt on his life threw fdb under the bus. It's meant to be another donghai-sized misunderstanding except that he's lost his memories.
He continues onward and eventually finds himself at Tianji Manor. The servant who lets him in is wide-eyed but when he asks for fdb their face turns downright scared. He's timidly informed that their shaoye is out right now.
That's fine, dfs says. He plops down right there to wait.
Master He, who has perhaps not seen her son since li lianhua was supposed to be at the beach, is told of this situation. She's heard the rumors that her son is looking to kill dfs and, half-believing this, storms out to give him a piece of her mind.
Dfs is wildly confused about why this woman is yelling at him. He's vaguely scared of her but it's not because he finds her intimidating. He doesn't know why.
Luckily this is the moment that fdb arrives home. He's tired and exhausted and forcing himself to take a break from his search for llh. "Niang!" He calls.
And then he stops. Dfs stares at him around his mother. "Lao-Di?" He says. His voice is wavering and cracks in the middle.
He stands and stumbles towards him. They meet in the middle of the yard and fdb looks like he wants to hug him but he thrusts his palm out at him before he can. "Fang Duobing?"
Fdb stares at it before taking it and cradling his hand in his own. His eyes are as huge as the moon when he looks at him. "A-Fei?"
Dfs may not know the difference but he can feel it. Whoever he was before was this boy's Lao-Di but right now he's his A-Fei. The name knocks a single memory loose - knowing nothing, like he does now, and a warm and familiar voice calling him A-Fei. He looks at him and clutches at his hands. "Who am I?"
So on top of the search for llh fdb and a-fei have to hunt down whoever tried to kill dfs. Fdb knows how to exist with dfs; without the barrier of llh, he's lost on what to do with a-fei. But they relearn how to work together, how to coexist, and step by step a-fei regains his memories.

one of the pieces of anakin's fall that everyone always misses is his use of the clones. anakin skywalker, who at 9 wanted to become a jedi. who was so haunted by guilt that he left his mother a slave. who violated the jedi code because he couldnt bear to spend another night not knowing his mother was safe. that anakin. that anakin was ok leading the clones to war. the clones who were made for this, made to work and toil and die without end, so the natborns could live peacefully.
i think if anakin wasnt reeling from the death of his mother and hadnt started slipping to the dark side already he wouldn't have agreed with the use of the clones. i think he would see himself in them - forever scorned, subhuman for the circumstances of their birth, desperately trying to rise above the fact that everyone they've ever met only has an interest in leashing them. so anakin being a general and agreeing to lead the clones is much more sinister than it seems at first blush.
the jedi order agreeing to lead the clones is its own egregious violation of the jedi code. theyre peacekeepers, not generals. they fight individually or in pairs, not in coordinated attacks (see geonosis). everything about them is not meant for violence, but for protection. but for the jedi to lead the clones to be anakin - it's even worse. the jedi know slavery is bad, but they do not expend resources trying to end it - for political reasons ofc, they themselves are at the whims of the republic - but anakin has Lived it. he is more like the clones than any other jedi, which makes his leading them all the more painful and heartwrenching and sick

[ID: two pages from Fruits Basket. The first shows Yuki, strongly backlit and furious expression heavily shadowed, saying, "You mean you should've been able to catch her when she was about to fall off a cliff? Would you have felt better if you could've rescued her whens she was about to be hit by a car or something? That's incredible. Who the hell are you? Are you some kind of superhero?!""
The next page starts with a panel of Yuki looking over his shoulders, tears in his eyes as he angrily shouts, "Open your eyes! You were! You made her laugh! You made her happy!" His dialogue continues over the next panel, of Kyo looking shocked, a bruise over his cheek, and the third panel, which is just a background pattern under Yuki's speech bubbles, saying: "Maybe it was only the little things. It doesn't have to mean being a superhero." The largest panel is an image of Kyo and Tohru carrying shopping together, Tohru smiling as she looks at Kyo and a pattern of blooming flowers around them. Yuki says, "You don't have to be that strong. When you're with her... just look at her! She's always smiling around you!" End ID.]
Man, Yuki NAILS it. I love a good Grand Romantic Gesture as much as the next overemotional bitch, but anything that reduces romance to just those is bad romantic advice. It feels like a particularly masculine toxic ideal of romance to push that you must be a Great Hero doing Great Things to win fair lady, as if loving and supporting someone every day isn't enough. I wonder if Yuki was subconsciously thinking of Tohru's mother when he picks a car accident as one of his examples; we know that Kyo distanced and punished himself because he didn't save Kyoko from being hit by a car, as if it's a major character failing to freeze up when you see a speeding car or panic about potentially triggering a humiliating condition in public. He got so caught up in seeing that moment, and not being there when Tohru fell, that he's blind to how you can save someone in small, everyday ways by being there for them and making them happy. I'm glad Yuki saw it, and called Kyo the fuck out to stop him from running away again; continuing to be there with Tohru really is the best thing Kyo can do for her, and far better for Kyo himself than isolating and hating himself. He really should already know; after all, one of the most significant things that Tohru's done for Kyo is simply to stay with him and make him smile, even after seeing his monstrous true form. It's not less masculine to bring someone small, everyday joys, and even if it was, so what? At the end of the day, making the person you love happy is the most important thing.
