#scars thats heal

[oifaaa]

Started following for the Jason. Stayed for the Jason

Jason content is the one thing I can do and will continue to do which speaking of jason am I the only one conflicted about jason with scars like on the one hand it's a cool design but if the insinuation is that he got them before he got thrown in the pit then I don't care what excuses you come up with the pit should have healed them I do not care

Lucien being so wary and scared of magic because of the hag that desecrated his brother's corpse, because of the blood hunter scars on his own skin that scared his sister away--because of the way his soul shattered at the height of his ritual, torn asunder and scattered amidst the Astral Sea. Because of the nine Eyes that still brand his skin, still bind him to wizards who have always tortured and enslaved fate touched souls like him.

Lucien is taught first and foremost that magic is pain, that it is fueled by unfortunate victims and those with nowhere else to go, that it is always a powerful mage preying on someone vulnerable. Of course he distrusts Caleb from the very first moment, of course he'd see another mage--employed by the Cerberus Assembly archmage who killed him--and loathe all that he is.

"I'm careful," he tells Caleb and Beau. "Especially around practitioners of magic. Have a bit of a history--especially with those that walked alongside such individuals. Pardon me if I mistrust certain aspects of the arcane that might, I don't know, be hanging out in the unspoken wings of our arrangement. So I'm careful..."

When Veth casts Phantasmal Force on Lucien, conjures that image of Caleb in his mind, it really gets under his skin. "Claim the rest. The wizard's mine." It feels very vindictive and personal. And I think a big part of that is just how much of an effect Caleb has on Molly--a perceived "weakness" Lucien hates himself for.

When Lucien tries to tear into Caleb, he experience this very real, visceral pain, feels how much it physically hurts Mollymauk to hurt Caleb. It's only when Molly's soul sees Caleb is unharmed that that pain eases."His forehead tightened, burning with pain, as if something in there was scratching to get out. It calmed as soon as Caleb turned out to be little more than a clever mirage."

When Caleb called Lucien Circus Man, it truly broke all of Lucien's control for the very first time, shook something deep inside. In the novel, it's enough for Mollymauk to manifest before him visibly, and he's terrified. Lucien despising how much sway this lonely little wizard holds over a shattered shard of his heart, how a few kind words are enough to twist him from his life's purpose, threaten the grand vision he sacrificed everything for.

In that final fight in Cognouza, Lucien makes a point of killing Jester and Caleb first. And as Laura points out, Lucien kept targeting them because they were the ones who kept succeeding on their Persuasion checks with Molly. He punishes the Nein every time they dare to reach out to Mollymauk and really break through, every time Lucien can feel his own resolve slipping away.

So he's especially cruel to Caleb, lashes out at him and tries to tear apart this remnant of another life. He hates that a piece of his own heart and soul still feels for this man, that an Empire wizard of all people is still clinging to some broken fragment that "shouldn't exist." "It wasn't me. He's gone, and you will all die and join me." "He's gone. Let him go. Let it all go." None of it ever dissuades Caleb though. He still fights to bring Molly back until the very end; unwavering loyalty, unconditional love. Caleb refusing to ever let go of Mollymauk, even when it kills him. And Lucien...Lucien is still all alone--

Thinking of all the scars Lucien still bears from magic, how the Somnovem admitted being the Nonagon meant he would suffer terribly. "What will it cost?" "Pain and pain and pain. A dear price for a man, a pittance to a king. And nothing to a god, cosmically ordained."

But then there's Caleb Widogast, Molly's, "softness and light." Caleb's gentle touch as all his magic flows through him--stitching his wounds shut and wiping away the blood, anchoring his lost, wayward soul. He is warmth and healing, the catalyst for Tealeaf's first breath--

Caleb using magic to heal both his own broken heart and his Circus Man's wounded soul. "Caleb is going to set his hands on the Transmuter Stone...and think of all the time and energy that went into making him able to destroy and tear down, and how good it feels to subvert that and turn it, and use it to build. And restore. And heal. And I begun to summon up every ounce of learning, and ability, and skill, and inspiration and imagination I have--and channel it into the soul. And fill it with the shared connection that everyone here has, and try to summon our friend back from the beyond."

Was thinking about the spiderman kiss,, I drew one with Toshinori years ago and this is the reimagining of it and it kinda makes me think how far things have come since then! 💖💖 (original drawing/close up/etc. under the cut)

Last image drawn in 2016!! Its crazy seeing how I drew myself back then and how I lined and colored things 😭😭

i just feel like merthur deserved a bit more

[smilepaint]

anyway the concept of passing is a scam. we will never be liberated until the idea that a trans person's inherent value and worth and validity is directly proportional to their resemblance to a cis person. and i say this not just to those who struggle to or do not fit into that box, but to those who very much do and are counting themselves lucky.

the same way that its unhealthy and unreasonable to expect a same gender couple to conform to notions of what a heterosexual family should be, its unhealthy and unreasonable to have to expect a transgender experience of identity and a transgender body to conform to a cisgender ideal. not only does it further the marginalisation of trans people and drive a wedge in our community, but it's an unhealthy way to see the world and relate to yourself. its not fair to expect a human being to go their whole life in states of checking the value of their body and their life against a societally imposed, often unattainable model that may not even reflect their own desires or goals.

it's tough, i know how tough it is to go against everything you've been taught, and the right to seek medical intervention to reshape ourselves in a way that deepens and solidifies our connection to our bodies is and will always be important. but for your own mental health, whatever shape you take must reflect yourself first. not a cis persons. transition is about making a home out of the body you're living in, in whatever way works for you.

you deserve the mental freedom that comes with removing "passing" from your emotional radar entirely. trans bodies are good bodies.

babygirl you are my EVERYTHINg..!!.,1!1!

It makes me want to pull my hair out when I see people putting content warnings over pictures or drawings of people with scars, especially burn scars. If it's fully healed there's nothing to worry about, you can't fucking censor someone's body bc it personally makes you uncomfortable do you not realize how fucked up that is???

Like that's an issue You need to work through bc people with severe burns exist and are going to be out in the world and you can't do anything about that but reconsider how you treat disabled people.

A little hc of mine - Tim still has the smile/Lichtenberg scars from the Joker Jr incidents, he just got really good at makeup from hiding injuries and uses concealer to cover them.

General HCs I use but haven't made a post about when drawing isat Siffrin and saap Siffrin(Loop):

isat Siffrin's eye was hurt by a scissors attack, so he has three slash marks where their eye was. Saap Siffrin's eye was hurt by a paper attack, so their eye has a starburst scar across it that reaches towards their ear. (isat Siffrin still has some of their original eyelid left from this attack, saap Siffrin does not and they lost some of their ear due to infection.)

isat Siffrin wears laced long boots that reach up to their knees, he also tucks his pants into the boots. Saap Siffrin wears short boots that zip up the side, their pants fall over the boots instead. (isat Siffrin did this to help with their new balance despite it taking a long while to put their boots on, saap decided speed was more important than balance in this instance since their injury took longer to heal)

Saap Siffrin has more muscle mass than isat Siffrin, they are also taller than isat Siffrin. :3

This does mean that their cloaks are at different lengths, which would suggest that if they switched cloaks for a day... Saap siffrin would look more like comic siffrin while isat siffrin would look like hes wearing a dress. The cloaks are very different now!

Saap Siffrin is a bit more of a shit starter than isat Siffrin, and has the smirks to match this.

Saap Siffrin has less dense hair than isat Siffrin, which means that they have more spikes and ghibli style hair poofs. Isat Siffrin has thicker hair that makes it easier to retain curl patterns and bunches closer together.

Isat Siffrin does lots of eye contact! He will stare you down (the neurodivergent too much eye contact). Saap Siffrin avoids looking people in the eye! They don't like looking at people's emotions so plainly on their face (the neurodivergent too little eye contact).

For me, a big part of recovery so far is accepting most of the people who hurt me will probably never apologize. Most of them will probably never change the behaviors that caused them to hurt me in the first place. And I don’t have to forgive them. But what I do need to do is learn what an apology would even mean to me (why I want it) and that even if those people never do that or never even feel badly for it, I need to keep going for myself anyway. I need to move forward without that, despite that. 

I’m also working on accepting the fact it’s fucking wrong that most of these people didn’t apologize, don’t even really believe they were wrong to hurt me. But it’s slow and it just kind of pisses me off that I’m here at all, with these problems. It’s nice to go “oh fuck people who won’t apologize” in the moment but its really hard to actually accept that apparently, and it really sucks to be dealing with the responsibility of wounds you didn’t cause but have to tend to.

You all should be so proud of me for not commenting about scar care on other people's posts.

I haven't posted about Avatar in a *hot* minute, but, I have been infected with the hyperfixation again and the incessant urge to just hit Spider with the projection/trauma stick is driving me feral.

I just want to give him a shit ton of issues man. I want to make my sweet baby boy baby miserable. I love him so I have to make his life as hard as possible.

like making him absolutely unwell and giving him a list of chronic illness/disabilities (on top of the ones he already has from being human on Pandora) wouldn't fix me, but it'd do something that'd make my brain feel a little less implode-y 🤷🏻

Edit: small disclaimer for anyone who doesn't know me, I am disabled, hence why I said projection, I just feel like I should mention that, or the tone of this post feels a little uncomfy

fanon swap: watcher etho? 👀

idk enough about watcher lore to make this real good but i like to think that even if there are big angelic looking wild designs for some characters as watchers, etho's would always be subtle, and i think that subtlety would lend well to being terrifying in its own merit? you get what im saying?
