Just saw something about brat taming someone so hard they end up begging and slipping into their mother tongue..........just saying a lot of these characters (all of them) have potential 🤗

Taming a sub to the point of having them forget communication is a crazy thing

for my first #retrOCtober, I'm revisiting Mona, the protagonist of my (old; completed!) webcomic The Muse Mentor (www.themusementor.com)

it's amazing that I can draw her still without reference after 6 years.... comics, man!! I'm gonna draw up more of the cast this month, too 🦋

And the thing is that I am always going to be the villain. I’m the one who walked away, and it doesn’t matter that it was for the sake of my sanity, yours. It doesn’t matter that we were tearing each other apart. It doesn’t matter that it hurt, day in and day out; it just matters that it was me who said, no fucking more, and now I am the one who broke this up. It’s so simple, isn’t it? The one who is left gets to mourn. The one leaving—well. Good luck babe. I hope you don’t dare to miss what you left behind.

And I do miss you, is the thing. I miss you so much it is a daily presence, a constant weight. It’s—it’s like blockage in my lungs, the way I can never stop thinking of you. With rage, so incandescent I wish you the worst (I never was the bigger person. Once upon a time, you used to know this about me.) It’s like weight upon my shoulders, like guilt except for all the ways in which it isn’t.

But then, that’s not true. I still feel guilty. You were like poison in the marrow of my bones (except for all the times when you were not) and it’s like—It’s like feeling guilt for killing the infection.

But then, that is too simple. I did love you, you know; you were my best friend. If we are honest, I still do. God, I do love you so much, the way we would build off each other, the way we would laugh, the way we would have a million tiny inside jokes even while there were miles upon miles between us. I loved the way your brain would spin from one thing to the next, how we’d built a spiralling staircase, one step of inspiration after the other, all at my 5 am with nothing but a ‘wouldn’t it be wild, if…’ Loved your convictions, your anger at the world, the way you'd just keep getting up, pulling me with you, always.

I loved you. Lord, I loved you so much, it took me years to realise how terrible you were for me. How terrible I was for you. I loved you so much, there was little else to do but to walk away. And that makes me sound like a conceited martyr, and I’m not. I walked away for myself. I walked away because it hurt too much, because I couldn’t keep doing it, crashing myself against all your unforgiving edges. I knew who you were, by the time I went. I knew who I was. I knew how things would go, if I dared to try to fix them.

And yeah, I owed you so much more than this. But then, Jesus fucking Christ, so did you.

And perhaps, in this, that makes me the villain. You can sit there, alone and bitter, and condemn me for the way I did it. You can spit vitriol, cast blame at my feet, be the sacrosanct. I wasn't ever the bigger person, you know this; maybe for you—well, maybe for you, I will be. After all, things were more than bad enough the way they went, and I want—

Lord, after all of it, I just want you to be well. I am not sorry, I cannot be, but—but. I do want you to be well. Even if it is as far away from me as possible.

the thing about venti is that he doesn't embody freedom so much as he nurtures it. venti is who he is today because the people taught him to love and he returned that tenfold. the people were the first to teach him autonomy and freedom, and his response is to protect that ideal

I just really love mondstadt's relationship with their "absentee" archon a lot. there's something almost poetic about how just by being themselves, they sort of "created" their own god. a wind wisp became their archon by observing and living with them (ofc I'm oversimplifying it)

as described in freedom sworn, it's the anemo archon who actually takes on his region's characteristics, not the other way around. it is not that mondstadt is the nation of freedom because of venti, but that venti is the god of freedom because of mondstadt. and now you have that same archon asking what I will argue is actually the best quote of genshin, "what is freedom when demanded of you by a god?"

"You can't draw the same character over and over again" Whatever. Look at Mondo as Mona Lisa

Apparently Disney and the Russo brothers are fighting about making Hercules live action because the bros wanna make it about Hades and call it Hades and Disney wants more of a straightforward musical true to the original.

They're all dumb.

They should keep it a musical about Hercules.

But it's actually about The Muses.

Then they could actually get fucking creative again and make sequels about other stories that could be told by The Muses and they can be the running through line and main characters really.

Imagine a series of Disney movies telling ancient tales of love and heroes and heroines told with the lovely musical stylings of JENNIFER HUDSON, OR JANELLE MONAE OR BEYONCE OR ALICIA KEYS OR CYNTHIA ERIVO OR ALL OF THEM COMBINED LIKE

If your s/o's friends immediately hate you even though they don't know you, RUN bro that relationship's DOOMED to fail

PB is so funny </3 because what do you mean you have the angstiest most deliciously intense plot for RoD 2, and you just...didn't pursue it? Huh? It's not like Platinum (RIP bestie you deserve so much more) where they had to make the music so what's stopping them 😭 we were robbed

you can tell which of albedo's relationships are a person's favorite by their reaction to the v5.6 trailer.

yeah yeah kaeya being his lawyer is fun (khaenri'ahns stick together). but where is mona (his research partner and fellow truth seeker and fellow hexenzerkel successor). where is klee (his little sister and fellow hexenzirkel successor). it's understandable and in character but it's kinda sad that diluc is in the opposition side (they exchanged letters and investigated the leylines together). was sucrose (his student) aware of any of albedo's khemia experiments? does rosaria feel vindicated now since she always thought albedo was suspicious?

on the flip side. does xingqiu (his novelist) know his calx artwork is gonna be pushed back indefinitely lmao

You are like gonzo to me (with love)

i am taking this as a compliment despite my even less than limited knowledge on muppets. i remember being upset about muppet babies coming out after the muppet show because they shouldve been babies first but thats it

Unironically sliding into Tumblr DMs bc you're desperate for someone you don't even know to the point of willingly wanting to pay for them is so fucking funny bc what happened to saying hello where is the /j
