Do I have any photo editing skills? No.
Is that making my attempts look like garbage? yea.
Like.. what even is this.
"No more songs. No more stories. No more pats or hugs or wind chimes or tether loosening or wonders of the world or sunflower petals or rainstorms or happy endings. Kamari would take me away. Never to be seen again.
I deserved it. Fae would've gotten faer happy ending if fae let the Place of Tethers swallow me whole."
"The ground fell. It should, right? The same lurch clung to my throat. My heart stilled and beat too loud. I was about to fall. My limbs tensed, bracing for impeding doom, a breaking point.
But it never came."
Anywho, Hopefully I'll get better at editing photos and such. This looks awful.
But I like the sunflowers. For some reason they became a recurring theme in the work-in-process origin scene? Do they symbolize something?
They are apparently symbols of love and faith.
Fitting for the backstory scenes I guess? Although, it flips on its head at the end when everything falls apart.
Perhaps I should have the sunflowers at the end of the backstory scene, where it's like -
"We left the sunflowers, the tether, the dolls behind. Abandoned and forgotten."
Something like that.
Oooooo. Perhaps each of the symbolisms for each plant has some sort of significance? I'm already doing the "fiddle leaf figs symbolize spiritual growth and enlightenment" meanwhile there is Anuli who thinks fae is a monster.
Magnolias symbolize elegance and grace and Kamari, the magnolia dryad, is an awkward bean that kills things.
It was ironic. Absolutely, utterly ironic.
(This post literally makes no sense what is this?)
I tried making another version, here it is -
Is it better?
Nope this one. This is the one.
Meet Anuli, your resident tree-less dryad. (The others are baffled, how can a tree fairy not have a tree?) Fae is story obsessed, and constantly overthinking, to the point where reality is just something fae has to deal with from time to time... and it's getting really unpleasant actually. Why does everything Anuli tries either fall apart or go well but... not really be the thing that gets fixes what fae messed up. If only fae could live in a constant daydream-
oh. Bad idea.

Thinkem bout a modern AU where Ace and Sabo obviously being two or three years older in school, were experiencing things years before Luffy would. Things like prom, grad and all that. But because he could COME to these events they did their best to get him envolved as much as possible so he wouldn’t feel left out. And when years rolled around, Ace and Sabo are well into collage each on different sides of the country. They still come down to help pick out an outfit for him and be there for his graduation. After all he was there for them.
Jus…
Luffy manages to graduate by the skin of his teeth and a LOT of work from all of the east blue gang. No teacher thought he would make it and it really was a moment of celebration. And as Luffy takes that paper thingy, and looks over the crowd. He thinks if only for a moment, no one is there. Gramps is Busy, Makino is running the bar, Dadan and the others of the Share house all have jobs they gotta go to.
Then all of a sudden he hears the loudest cheers in an almost quiet room. And there are his brothers, Dadan trying to wrestle them down and Makino laughing with Woop Slap. His brothers from schools hours away. His brothers who are in collage and following there dreams. His brothers are here just like they promised three years ago when they graduated. Completely forgetting to thank the teacher, he runs down the steps and Usopp has to stop him from going to them right away since there were still other students. So the rest of the ceremony he’s sitting on his chair like he’s going to explode quietly whispering to all them “ My brothers are here!! They made it!!” And all of them can’t even be mad cause Luffy deserves it for all the effort he puts in

I think ultimately if DC had Pride in the 90s we would have been given some of the most bold and compelling meaningful queer stories compared to today bc DC is a simpering coward about this. I love how we're in a time period where never before we have had such diversity, but the cost is hypersanitization doubled with feeling patronized at multiple turns.
I don't like feeling talked down to in any story, even more so in stories that are supposed to celebrate Pride.

What did/do you like about Pharah?
Uh, gameplay-wise, I really love characters in shooters who rely on three-dimensional movement techs. Chaining together hover and jump to stay in the air for as long as possible and keep momentum is so satisfying, and picking enemies off from the sky made me feel like a bird of prey. I was a good Pharah main.
Story-wise, there unfortunately isn't much to canonically go off because Pharah is so underutilized and neglected. Her personality's pretty boilerplate "heroic hero" (she's literally inspired by Captain America).
But it's the crumbs/bits and pieces that I really latched onto. Pharah's a confirmed lesbian; her short story with Baptiste implies she harbors a crush on Mercy (fucking thank you.). She's biracial Egyptian/First Nations. She has major mommy issues, having grown up both admiring and resenting Ana. She's the bridge between Old Overwatch, inspired by the idealized heroes who surrounded her childhood, and New Overwatch. She's one of the only inter-generational characters in the cast; someone whose experiences span the gap, which is why I seriously believe Pharah would make a great main character.
There isn't much to go off of, though; she's a very uncomplicated character (she's a soldier for a private military corporation, lol.). But that just means she's a blank slate character, so I've seen fanfic writers run wild and create some really interesting takes on her. My favorite interpretation of her's a dense, herbo gym-bro type (a lot of her liens are about work outs, exercising, and playing sports) who's easily excitable under her seemingly self-serious, armored visage. We see how she tends to gloat and hype herself up when she's on a streak too, so Pharah definitely has a competitive and boastful side under her more professional and militant performance.
Now Mercy? Mercy is a real complex character.
