I hugged the two children while looking around at my companions. [...] Shin Yoosung asked me, "Grandmother? Is Grandmother Sookyung okay?"
"I think she should be fine. It is entering the final stages."
Relief passed through the party member's faces at my words. Only one face was different.
"Hey, why is Dokja hyung's mother your grandmother?"
"Ahjussi's mother is my grandmother."
"Dokja hyung isn't your father."
I quickly patted them on the back. "Now now, don't fight. You can both call her grandmother."
"Really? Can I?"
"Yes."
I watched the red-faced Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung and tried to say something else, but quickly closed my mouth.
To these children, what had happened in the past three years? What did these children hear, see and talk about as they passed through dozens of scenarios without me?
"…Hyung?"
I stroked Lee Gilyoung's head for a long time and Lee Gilyoung looked up at me helplessly. Shin Yoosung, who was staring at the scene, grabbed my hand and placed it on her head. (Chapter 343)
Part of me is looking at this and nodding in accomplishment. The other part thinks it's cringe. However I love it either way! This is Shotput and I'm putting the context for this under the cut!
So, Shotput is one of my shipkids from Eternal Ashes! He's Killer and Dream's only son, and he's really only a sudecgaracter to EA, but he's got a special place in the story too lmao.
Shotput (his real name is Shooting Star but he stopped responding to that name around age 10~11) was best friends with Reset, the main character of EA. Shot was meant to be a sort of bringer of peace, a child between former enemies, and a good influence for everyone around. Of course, Killer still worked for Nightmare and, while he no longer fought Dream directly, he still caused a lot of chaos. His loyalty laid with Nightmare. So, Dream (and by Dream I mean the combined effort of any AU who could babysit + Dream) raised Shotout practically on his own. Shot barely knew Killer, but he looked up to him a lot, because Killer did all the fun things that Dream said were bad. But even while Killer did 'bad things' he was still nice.
So, idk, I just thought this would be a fun way to bring my young!Shotput design to life before I went back to doing my Orchid piece (<- Orchid and Shotout canonically were made around the same, so they're nearly twins, even tho they're cousins. They hate eachother.). Killer loves Shotput, and later on in the story they get to bond more when Shotout moves to live with Killer, but at the point that this clip is meant to show? He doesn't get why they (the adults) all seem so angry with Killer all the time! (<- it's Because Killer, like, killed people. They don't want the lil guy around him lmao-)
And side note: Shotput has beef with Orchid because not only does Reset (his supposed bff) choose her over him to plan and hang out with, but Killer chose to stay with Night in Shot's youth, and Killer knows Orchid better than he does Shot. He resents Killer when he's older, but at this point he's just Baby!
So my new swamp milkweeds have little brown spots??? Theyve had them since I got them from the store but I feel like the Spot Density is increasing (or I might be crazy) would anyone know what the deal is?
They fucked on that boat didn't they. That. That is the only option I see here. Seeley (EX MILITARY) Booth and Ken Nakamura did it sloppy style on that boat.
still thinking abt the wreck that is train!andrew's office once he falls asleep at the desk tbh because godd i love imagining messy workaholic offices
conductors also kind of do everything on the train, like they oversee the other train employees, take payments for boarding, check the tickets, make sure passengers are safe and comfortable, etc etc so he is. SO exhausted probably
i think bc to me this andrew is kind of. stoic and polite (he would still melt if you were nice to him i think) he doesn't have many signs other than getting slightly more unkempt and i think his hands shake REALLY bad w sleep deprivation, or he seems like he's focusing on not literally just crinkling to the ground and fifudhf anywaybi really like traindrew
i watched about 22 mins of the first murder on the nord express gameplay vid btw and i'm gonna cry both victor and andrew are so djfjfj
Me: huh man I dont draw very much anymore cause things just dont look as right and i cant get poses down right
WoF: DRAGON TIMEEEEEE
Me: i have found the roots of this forest once again and discovered the pureness from which my skill was birthed, these dragons rake their talons in the sand and my fingers follow in tune, I am one with the dragons they are my sole strength and I shall honor them with art
we're going on a week-long vacation to south carolina this september and *sly cooper dub voice* WE'RE GONNA DRIVE THERE, so i'm wondering if i can maybe convince my folks to let me hijack the car radio for like an hour or two on the way. they'd have to fiddle around with the radio a bunch anyway once we start crossing state lines, so it shouldn't be too hard a sell. problem is trying to figure out which fob albums my parents with dubious music taste will actually enjoy.
astarion is so fucking funny as a character because conceptually he hits all the marks of a wet cat blorbo but in practice he's unbelievably hard to stand. i'll be on the bg3 companion guide and have to start CRYING from trying to find the shit under his section that gains approval. loses -15 points for gently suggesting we not massacre an orphanage in cold blood with the d&d equivalent of a nuclear warhead
Great thing about being left handed is that I can draw people holding things and have the reference of my own right hand as I do it. Bit nullified by way of a surprising amount of my favourite characters being left handed, but works for the most part.
that post going around that’s like ‘if you can alter your fic and get it published as something original, it wasn’t good fic and it isn’t good original work’ really underestimates the power of like ummmm writing lmao
I just saw someone say "Rottmnt fans never beating the content farm allegations" about the Rise tag on Ao3 having more fics compered to the other TMNT iterations

:0 i didnt see this because ppl rarely like or rb from me so i never look at the notifs tab for it !! sorry !
ive actually been thinking about this recently so i actually have at least one answer off the top of my head, which is
1) my black long-sleeved shirt. it reminds me very strongly of the outfit worn by the first (and only) character i, as an autistic person, actually saw myself in and felt comforted by. so after finding it tucked away in a box recently and making that connection, wearing it is just like. :3
2) music! whoever said "if art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time" hit the nail on the head, and i'm very invested in audio stimuli, so. if you have any music recommendations, please 🤲 any genre any language . the 2 songs circling in my brain like little fishes rn are Oh No! by Marina and Heaven's Gate by Fall Out Boy
3) makeup (but specifically eyeshadow). ive been playing around with makeup recently when i feel bad about how i look because it makes me feel better, even just to rim my eyes. i used to be insecure about my interest and style in it as a transmasc but now i just dont care
4) the wrap i had for dinner :) and the leftovers >:)
5) this ask ! sorry it took me over a month to see it 😭 i really wish i was more connected in this community, but genshin fandom is just so big! my last main fandom was small enough i knew basically everyone at least peripherally, and i dont really know how to make friends in this one. its nice to have any kind of interaction
