The tragedy of ur boyfriends not letting u bite them just a little. As a Treat.
A Tup from @trudemaethien’s excellent fic Edeemi, Baby, One More Time that I drew back in May! I didn’t have a Star Wars tumblr at the time and wasnt planning on posting it anywhere so I forgot about it until now, but I had such a fun time playing around with lighting effects and his expression!
I really love their mer universe and I’m especially fond of Tup’s POV in this fic. It’s such a good job of expressing the confusion and frustration of communication barriers and reasonable, best-intent misunderstandings between all of them, while still leaning into the positive aspects of discovering the world and representing it from slightly different perspective than people normally take 10/10 highly recommended
Closeup of the sketch for his expression under the cut because I was super happy with it
okay, but where's my steddie AU where steve wants to learn to play guitar to impress a girl he's infatuated with and he remembers that munson kid was always hanging up posters for his weird band at school, so he hikes out to eddie's usual dealing spot behind the track and asks (with far less groveling than he really should have) if eddie will teach him how to play, and obviously eddie says no because why would he want to help king steve, but of course, steve offers to pay him, $20 a week, and well, that's the kind of get-the-hell-out-of-this-shithole-town cash eddie really can't afford to refuse, so fine, he'll teach steve to play and they'll spend inordinate amounts of time together tucked away in eddie's room and they'll start to see that they have more in common than they thought and that they kind of had each other all wrong, and eddie will put his hand over steve's to help him get the placement for a tricky chord and it totally won't awaken anything in either of them?? where is it??
Still can't get over the fact Ceroba showed so little empathy for Star. It becomes even worse when you remember she started lecturing him ALL while wanting to take Clover's soul herself and lied to his face just so she could later betray the kid. At least Star tried to fix things. She started digging deeper and deeper into her plan and in the end got forgiven really easily.
I keep thinking Ceroba sees Starlo as a childish little bro or smth and even mentions how the reason she chose Chujin was because he was "mature." Yeah he WAS more serious in terms of personality but everyone's different. Chujin wasn't morally perfect anyway
'Back when I was a naive kid, kinda like you' and 'hey, it's science. your brain is still developing' rub me the wrong way. Basically what I got from this is how she thinks only someone childish and emotionally underdeveloped would consider a relationship with Starlo
Ceroba seems to view Star as a "poor naive manchild" who needs babysitting. She feels so bad for him that she'd sometimes tag along with his antics but won't hide the annoyance most of the time.
She'll also spare him from his feelings getting hurt, which is nice but it's not her honest opinion:
She seems to show little appreciation for what he tried to do for her even though they're supposedly best pals. She says how she's been burying her sorrows in the saloon but not how spending time there even slightly cheered her up.
She envies Star's optimism but imo it sounded more like an adult envying a kid's naivety than one adult admiring the other.
And APPARENTLY the time she spent with Clover in Steamworks cheered her up a little but not what Star's been doing for her for months.
heck she didn't even notice he had been doing it for her. too stuck in her sorrows, probably
I think the reason for this is because the Steamworks reminded her of Chujin and Kanako and the life they used to have. Btw, she loved Chujin waaaay too much (and even though he's gone now she still doesn't think she'll ever be with anyone else except Chujin, she's proud of Chujin for a useless award, she still calls Chujin 'her love,' she keeps talking about Chujin's legacy and how Asgore and everyone else never believed in him), to the point she stubbornly supported him without question, only (maybe) seeing him more realistically at the end of pacifist. I just feel like Ceroba doesn't take Starlo seriously. It's not that she doesn't care about him at all, but… she definitely doesn't get him.
Ugh my parasocial ass is so happy for that blonde lady right now because it seems like the stars have kind of aligned personally and professionally and she just deserves it all after a very tough couple of years
restoration is good (TO ME) because after 12 years we finally get to see carolina gather the clarity to understanding tex. just as carolina was beaten down, when we don't have sarge or wash to guide us, it happens.
tex saves us. the woman who failed defies fate and saves the day.
The thing that always makes me sad about seeing posts wishing that character X would never forgive character Y for something he did is that forgiveness isn't about the person who wronged you! Forgiveness is about letting go of YOUR pain and YOUR anger so that you can heal! It's not the same thing as restored trust. You can forgive someone and still never trust that person again or even see him again. So when someone wishes that X would never forgive Y, that's not a punishment for the person who actually did the wrong. If Y really is that awful, he probably doesn't care that X hasn't forgiven him. That's a punishment for X, who was wronged, and whom you have just wished would never ever move beyond that wrong and heal. What a terrible thing to wish upon a character you like as a supposed repayment for the wrongs he has endured!
And the thing is there's no way a Lucien route would satisfy the Elain we've seen growing on the books. He cannot satisfy her independence, he cannot satisfy her love for the gardens,he cannot satisfy her quiet life goals, she doesn't even need him for money, security nor building a bond with her family and you would think in the romancing and sexual tension area he'll be involved but Guess What Mimi...
Let’s give T’kor all the flowers  people like to downplay her game, but let’s not forget she was a part of a massive vote flip that literally changed the game. She was a huge social threat!! She was stubborn , strategic played with her whole heart and helped her besties get to jury. She will be missed ❤️🩹🧶
finished bridgerton last night n genuinely if cressida cowper doesn't get her own spin-off series following her life at her ghastly aunt's secluded estate where she meets some fairly stereotypical local with a heart of gold and no concept of reputation who endeavours to slowly excavate the years of neglect until she's comfortable and secure in herself and her relations with other people after a brief period of dislike due to her natural spite and his abrasiveness leading to a pivotal scene where - crucially - she gets to WEAR HER FUCKING HAIR DOWN. i will kill myself in front of shonda rhimes
