#pieces verse

My brain keeps thinking about it Agatha lays awake that night thinking about how janus said "no one's ever yelled at you" to Sasha and how to her it was second nature to yell at her about "arguing" but then her son says that on the 3 years Sasha's been alive no one has yelled at her and what that must make Agatha think about with how she raised her children

YEAH and like... right up till that point, Agatha has only seen Sasha be friendly and polite and vivacious, cheerful and smiley. the realization that janus and remus and the rest of the fitzroys do not have to yell at her to get her to behave. it's unnecessary.

(the only time anyone raises their voice around her is to warn her of danger, she is never yelled at, but agatha hasnt seen that)

That her and charles belief that correction should come in the form of yelling and scolding seems to be demonstrably incorrect has got to be absolutely harrowing. because agatha loves her children, but just loving them is not always enough to parent them properly!!!

And she's already gone through this twice, with Janus being trans, with Nessa and her touch starvation - the reasons Nessa has gotten so much better in the past three years from her compromised immune system is because touch starvation is actively dangerous to children that young, it was literally making her physically ill

to be repeatedly confronted with the fact that whether they meant to or not, she and charles raised their kids and their grandchildren, children they do genuinely love, in an abusive environment and cant ever take that back. guilt alone doesn't absolve them, only being committed to doing better every day can do that (and they are) but i do have some amount of sympathy for this kind of parent

But I have promises to keep—and miles to go before I sleep.

I couldn't stop thinking about VAL listening to Shrue's radio speech when she confronts Carson, and wondering just how many times she listened back to that recording while waiting for him. Did it bring her some comfort, to listen to someone else's last words as she waited to speak her own? Did she feel a little less alone, keeping company with another ghost that hasn't realised it's already dead?

I have spent my life in the shadow of this great and winding river.

I have always dwelt in the shadow of my god.

[lights-at-night-art]

and before she died, she remembered who she was

[rottingraisins]

So I wade out into the very centre of the torrent, the water rushing about my feet as if it still longs to drag me down with him, bearing my brother before me-

-and then I let him go.

Law gulped heavily, watching as the tiny, oh-so-tiny piece of paper moved weakly across his palm, getting smaller with every second as the edges burned more and more. There was barely anything left. Barely enough to hang onto any hope. “What are you doing?” Law growled, but he could barely hear himself. There was a hum in his ears, a white noise that didn’t mean anything, didn’t serve any purpose but to drive him even more mad. He refused to believe this. The paper had to be lying. There was simply no way, no way that Luffy lost. No way that his life was about to disappear, leaving behind nothing but a few specks of ash.

I (once again) commissioned the incredible @kagamiciel for this gorgeous piece to go with my fic Ash (from the Ashes of Life series) and I couldn't be happier with the result!! I mean, look at it, it's so so so beautiful 😭🤍

I think Aiglamene reached out to Gideon to make a snarky comment on her fancy get up and how she’s “the real bells and whistles of the Cohort.” Because at the end of the day, Aiglamene did want Gideon to leave. She wanted her to go with honor and glory and not live out a miserable life on the Ninth. She did want better for her. Trained her so that one day she would have the skills she needed to survive. To make her claim in the world not as Gideon Nav, serf of the ninth but as Gideon Nav, survivor of the Ninth.

And she realizes it was all for nothing when her warm hand meets an ice cold cheek. The cold of the dead clings to her. It hugs the skin and bones of the little brat that sat at her feet, listening to her old war stories. And oh how those golden eyes had sparkled while she listened intently, drinking up every detail. The girl she gave a sword too and taught her that she needs to fight for what she wants. To tear them down so nothing stands in her way. Her girl is dead and back on the ninth.

“They killed you.”

No spoilers but I never thought anything could top the animation, color palettes, and the overall visuals of Into the Spiderverse but Across the Spiderverse absolutely did without a doubt in my mind. Just gorgeous animation and compositions all around and I can’t wait until it comes on dvd so I can pause and admire every single frame. Everyone who worked on character designs, backgrounds and lighting etc should be so so proud of the work they’ve done.

pieces Percy 🤝 pieces Logan

cracking open their compressed and calcified emotions and dealing with the neuroses this exposes to open air

Percy, frazzled, vest undone: If anything happens to Janus or his babies im going to kill myself and everyone in this room

Logan, head hanging backwards over the back of the sofa: In the vernacular, mood, but that's one of the thoughts we still internalize.

Patton and Dessa: :< !!!!!

the really fun thing about making suki zuko’s personal guard is that she absolutely would figure out he’s the blue spirit. it’s literally her job to be on top of him, she would figure it out in under a month. and she would know that asking zuko to stop is a lost cause so she would follow him out. i need you to stop and picture the look on zuko’s face when he finds out suki knows he’s the blue spirit.

love characters that are so messed up and pathetic and loser-core and will cause the downfall of the multiverse and have narrative parrallels to the protagonists and will cannonically kill and- [image description] A digital illustration of the spot from across the spiderverse. He resembles a black humaniod silohette with a painterly texture - with multiple arms and heads branching off from the main body - and spiralling white spots on various points of his body. The main silohette is surrounded by a distressed white outline which stands out against the black circular void that takes up most of the background. The rest of the background is a distorted, spiraling blur of dark greens, blues and bright pinkish reds that circle the central spot. [end id]
